slave like jade

Chapter 70 Seeing Flowers in the Fog
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the door, she looked back and couldn't help being stunned!
I saw a person slowly walking in from the doorway, dressed in white, his face pale and almost transparent, his clear eyes shone with dazzling light, and there was a faint flash of cold light between the flickering lights, he passed the crowd and walked into the house without looking sideways. Come.

The person who came was none other than Yue Yu, one of the protagonists of the adultery!

It wasn't until this moment that Mu Ziyue suddenly realized that something was wrong. According to her previous arrangement, Yue Yu should be lying naked on the bed with that bitch at this time, why?He came in through the door!
She looked back at Mu Lingzhi in a panic, only to see that he was also looking at her in astonishment like a prince, there was no trace of heartache on his face, and his eyes had returned to normal.

Suddenly, a bad thought flashed through my mind, and before I could step forward to check the person on the bed, Yue Yu's cold voice gradually sounded in the room: "Miss Mu, I only heard your name, but I didn't expect your maid To be such an unbearable person, is this the way of the Mufu?"

Mu Ziyue's heart skipped a beat, could it really be that dead girl Wen Xiang who was clumsy and showing off her feet?

She stabilized her mind, with a confused look on her face, and asked in a daze: "What does Mr. Yue mean? Could it be that my maid offended you?" After she finished speaking, she put on airs and said to the little girl on the side: " Hurry up and find Wen Xiang and ask her to apologize to Young Master!"

"No need! His Highness the Third Highness has already helped the grass people!" Yue Yu's voice struck Mu Ziyue's head like a bolt of lightning. When it was opened, due to excessive force, the curtain was torn in two with a 'hissing' sound, and everything on the bed was immediately displayed in front of everyone.

Among the messy quilts, the person who was stabbed in the chest by a sword and fell to the ground was Mu Ziyue's maid, Wen Xiang!

Wen Xiang was only wearing thin obscene clothes, her face had a strange red light, and there was a lewd smile on her lips behind her, which made everyone's hearts tremble!
Yingying's almond-shaped eyes widened, as if the eyeballs were about to fall out of their sockets, Mu Ziyue looked at the person on the bed stupidly, still couldn't believe that this person was not Yu Ruyan but Wen Xiang.She stared blankly at the person lying in the pool of blood, and said in a trembling voice, "What's going on here?"

The copper coin on the side watched helplessly as the master stabbed the person on the bed with a sword in anger, and he always thought that the person on the bed must be Yu Ruyan, because he had personally come to this wing to look for her twice before.

He hated her when he thought of her betraying his master and doing such a shameful thing, but when he thought of how much she had been taking care of him, he couldn't bear it, and now he suddenly found that the person on the bed was not Yu Ruyan but Wen Xiang who was next to Miss Mu, He couldn't help feeling a little lucky for Yu Ruyan in his heart, but he was as puzzled as Mu Ziyue, "It's strange, this is Xiaoqing's resting room, how come she smells the fragrance but is on the bed in the room?"

He saw Xiaoqing here with his own eyes!

Since it wasn't her, where did Xiaoqing go?
Everyone looked at this farce with puzzled faces, and Mu Lingzhi frowned even more, not understanding what was going on?

Only Yue Yu's cold voice sounded slowly among the crowd: "Miss Mu's maid pretended to be Xiaoqing and asked Cao Min to meet here. Unexpectedly, after Cao Min arrived here, he found that the room was burning with aphrodisiac spices. And Ms. Mu's maid took the opportunity to do something wrong with the grassroots..."

"Wow!" As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar!
All along, the world has only heard of a man attacking a woman's overlord, but never heard of this woman being so bold and outrageous!Everyone looked at Mu Ziyue in disbelief, Wen Xiang was her personal girl, and this girl is such a person, then this master...
Wang Tianyu couldn't hold it back, and spat at the direction of the mahogany bed: "It's thanks to the girl taught by the Shangshufu, who is so shameless and shameless! Die well!"

Mu Ziyue's whole body trembled when she heard the words, and she was about to fall. She clutched the edge of the bed tightly with both hands, with deep hatred welling up in Yingying Xingxing's eyes, she gritted her teeth and said word by word: "I don't believe that Wen Xiang is such a person, she You grew up by my side, and you are the most innocent and upright person, how could you do such a bold thing, Mr. Yue, I am afraid that you will not be able to convince everyone with your own words!"

Hearing this, Yue Yu couldn't help showing embarrassment, yes, it's really hard to believe that the servant from the dignified Prime Minister's mansion is such a miserable person based on his words alone!

A bit of helplessness appeared on his pale face. After a while, he sighed softly, slowly rolled up the sleeve of his right hand, and raised his arm: "If Miss Mu insists on refusing to believe it, Cao Min can't help it. There is only me and her in the room, and there is no third person to prove it, but the scratch on Cao Min's body is undoubtedly her scratch, if Miss Mu doesn't believe it, you can ask Wu Zuo to verify it."

When everyone heard the sound and looked, they saw a few eye-catching scratches on his smooth arm, and couldn't help but completely believed his words.

Mu Ziyue's pretty face suddenly turned pale, and she murmured, "How is that possible? Why did Wen Xiang do this?"

Up to now, there is nothing left to defend Wen Xiang, her eyes froze, her thoughts turned sharply——

She doesn't feel bad about the death of a girl, but she can't let Wen Xiang bear such a shameful charge, because this is not about Wen Xiang alone, but it concerns the face of the entire Xiangfu, so that people know that Xiangfu taught such a shameful crime. As a servant, I'm afraid that the prime minister's first life reputation will be abolished.

And she herself, as Wen Xiang's master, will be criticized even more. After teaching such a slave, how will people think of her in the future, and how will she gain a foothold in Dongdu?Will the Holy Majesty's impression of her be greatly reduced after knowing this, I'm afraid that her position as the crown princess will not be guaranteed at the time of introduction!

But in an instant, she put away the hatred in her eyes, and suddenly looked at the prince and Mu Lingzhi with tears in her eyes, knelt down and said pitifully: "Prince, your highness, this matter is too strange, please help me Find out the truth, and smell the fragrance!"

There were tears in the almond eyes, and the crystal tears fell down like broken pearls. The upturned beautiful face was more affectionate than pear blossoms with rain. Mu Lingzhi's eyes warmed up, and he was about to help her, but the prince was already there. He helped her up in front, and comforted her softly: "What is Xiaoyue doing? Although she is your girl, this matter has nothing to do with you. Don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter and give everyone an explanation." .”

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at the guests, and said seriously: "Until the matter is thoroughly investigated, you must not spread it around. If I let this palace know that someone is spreading it everywhere, I will never let it go lightly!"

Seeing that Yue Yu's face darkened, he was afraid that he would think too much, so he quickly comforted him: "It's not that I don't believe what Mr. Yue said, but there are many doubts about this matter, so I can find out thoroughly so I can give you an explanation. !"

Yue Yu lowered his eyelids, his long eyelashes blocked the chill in his eyes, and said in a calm tone, indifferently: "The prince is wise, and the grass people are also very curious. Who wants to put the grass people in such a miserable land?"

His voice was cold, with an imperceptible chill, and he said slowly: "Today is the crown prince's birthday, but someone deliberately set up a trap to lure the grassroots into the game, and did inhumane things to anger His Highness, so as to destroy the grassroots and His Highness." Caomin is just a small merchant, and it is not worthy of people's attention to me. From this point of view, the mastermind behind this matter is not aimed at Caomin, but the real purpose is—the prince!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, and the expression on the prince's face changed drastically!
Mr. Yue's analysis is reasonable. Just think about it. The guests present today are not more distinguished than him. Why not pick someone else, but Mr. Yue who has the worst background? Could it be that the people behind the scenes knew what was going on in his heart? plan?

A chill suddenly spread from the crown prince's heels to the top of his head. He couldn't help but look at Mu Lingzhi opposite, but then felt that it was impossible. Before, he had been ridiculed by everyone for wearing a cuckold and angrily took the lead to catch rape!

He looked at Wen Xiang, who was so cold on the bed, and his heart shuddered, the people behind the scenes seemed to intend to destroy his relationship with the Prime Minister's mansion, it was really scary!
And Mu Ziyue, who was standing beside him, had already been chilled by Yue Yu's words. She never thought that she was just planning to get rid of a small military prostitute, but in the end she lost her confidant girl. There are so many terrible conspiracies involved!
Mu Lingzhi had been quietly listening to everyone's words, his eyes were deep, as if he was deep in thought.Suddenly he thought that there was a person who hadn't appeared. At this moment, Yu Wan, who had been silent all this time, said in surprise, "Where is Miss Xiaoqing? I haven't seen her, where is she?"

As soon as she reminded everyone, everyone realized that there was an uproar here but Yu Ruyan was nowhere to be seen. Everyone couldn't help but look surprised, feeling very strange!
Mu Lingzhi asked the copper coin with a gloomy face: "Didn't you tell me that she stayed in the wing all the time? Where is she?"

But Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure out the copper coins, and said depressedly: "The servant has indeed seen her dressing up in this room with his own eyes..." In the middle of speaking, he suddenly thought of Yue Yu's words, suddenly realized, and said in surprise: "Dare you The backs I saw before were all Wen Xiang's fakes?"

Mu Lingzhi's face was ashen, and he couldn't help feeling a little worried. She disappeared for so long, so nothing happened, right?
Seeing that such a big incident happened in the mansion today, Yu Wan had already died for no reason. If something happened to Ruoyu Ruyan, she was afraid that she would really be unable to do business, so she hurriedly ordered the whole mansion to go down. Go around looking for Yu Ruyan.

Here, the crown prince has ordered Wen Xiang's body to be moved down, and everyone is unwilling to stay in this place anymore, so everyone returns to the banquet.

Mu Ziyue leaned to the side with tears on her face, sobbing softly, looking very sad, seeing her like this, it was hard for everyone to say that she was not good at teaching people, and they all sympathized with her instead.

She lowered her eyebrows, looking heartbroken, but her lowered eyes were filled with coldness, her teeth were clenched, and her heart was full of hatred——

Unexpectedly, not only did she fail to get rid of that slut, but she even made a move for her. She really lost her wife and lost her troops. She was so unwilling!

Resentful in his heart, crying even more sadly on his face, Mu Lingzhi saw it, and couldn't bear it, thinking that after all, he killed Wen Xiang by mistake, he couldn't help but feel guilty, got up and sat beside her, and was about to say something to comfort her, but saw The servants of the palace surrounded a person and walked over——

The person who came was completely soaked, his hair was still dripping, as if he had just been fished out of the water, it was the missing Yu Ruyan.

Seeing her, Mu Lingzhi felt relieved, but looked at her and frowned again. What's wrong with her?
In late autumn, the weather was already cold, not to mention that she had just climbed ashore from the water.Yu Ruyan's whole body was shivering from the cold, her small face was pale, as if covered with a layer of hoarfrost, her lips were frozen blue and purple, her wet hair stuck to her head, she looked embarrassed and pitiful.

She walked step by step, her cold eyes passed through the crowd and stopped on Mu Ziyue's body. When she saw Mu Lingzhi's hand protecting her shoulders, her eyes dimmed, and a trace of sadness welled up in her heart!
She knelt down in the center of the venue, suppressed the trembling all over her body, and said with difficulty: "Prince, forgive me, today is your birthday, but you have made His Highness worry about you, and disturbed everyone. Your servant deserves death, and His Highness please punish me!"

Her body was already thin, and when the cold wind blew, she was even more precarious. Mu Lingzhi's heart skipped a beat, and just as she couldn't help but want to get up and put on her clothes, Mu Ziyue suddenly leaned over, almost falling to the ground. He quickly turned around and helped her up.

However, just staying for this moment made Yu Ruyan feel chilly in her heart!

She watched as Mu Lingzhi hugged Mu Ziyue into his arms and sat down in pain. Her body was cold, and her heart was even colder!

His whole body was shaking even more violently, and his teeth could not stop chattering.

Suddenly, his body warmed up, and at some time, Yue Yu had already stepped forward to take off his coat and put it on her carefully, and said to the prince above: "Caomin asks your highness to let Miss Xiaoqing go down and change into a clean one." Clothes, I will apologize later!"

Yu Ruyan's heart felt hot, she stared blankly at the man kneeling with him in front of her, the sadness in her heart was like waves, waves came one after another——

I only had acquaintance with him a few times, but he defended himself everywhere, while the person who was supposed to protect him was watching coldly from the sidelines, carefully caring for others!

My heart suddenly became cold!
The prince frowned, feeling displeased but he could only say in a muffled voice: "Go down and change your clothes first, then talk back!"

After she thanked her with her head, she turned and left without saying a word. When she left, her cold eyes cast a cold glance at the delicate and pitiful Mu Ziyue.

Mu Ziyue's palms, which were hidden in her sleeves, were about to bleed. She hated and feared at the same time. She hated Yu Ruyan for turning evil into good fortune every time, and escaping being framed again and again, but she was also afraid that she would ignore her. confess her!

And Mu Lingzhi beside her looked at Yue Yu, who was beside Yu Ruyan, who was so handsome and unparalleled, his face was so ugly that water dripped out, and he drank the wine in front of him annoyed.

After all, Mu Ziyue is smart, she rolled her eyes, and suddenly turned her head to look at Mu Lingzhi quietly, her almond eyes were full of tears, and her tone was pitiful: "Lingzhi, if someone suspects that Wen Xiang did everything under my orders, would you believe it?" ?”

He was startled when he heard the words, and said in surprise: "How could you instigate it? I never believed that you are such a person. Don't worry, I will believe you no matter what!"

"Ling Zhi, I'm so scared." Her whole body was shaking like a sieve, and her delicate little hands were tightly clutching Mu Lingzhi, her appearance was so pitiful that it made people feel sad!

"You don't have to worry, Wen Xiang is your girl, but what she does has nothing to do with you, don't be afraid!" Mu Lingzhi had never seen her so weak and helpless. He clasped his hands tightly in his own to give her encouragement and comfort.

Hearing his words, Mu Ziyue instantly took a reassurance, with a long-lost sweet smile on her face, she couldn't help sneering triumphantly in her heart, bitch, just wait, I won't let it go!

Yu Ruyan changed into clean clothes and knelt down in front of the crowd again, the crown prince looked at her coldly and asked: "You didn't attend the good banquet, where have you been for so long?"

She raised her head suddenly, a cold light flashed in her cold eyes, and she replied coldly: "Your Highness can ask Miss Mu and her maid Wenxiang! After struggling for a long time, I managed to swim back to the shore..."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, and turned their eyes to Mu Ziyue involuntarily. Yue Yu stood with her in front of everyone, and his clear eyes were also coldly looking at Mu Ziyue who looked innocent. !
Mu Ziyue's whole body was shocked, Yingying's almond eyes were flustered, and she said innocently, "What nonsense is my sister talking about? I have been at the banquet since Huayuan, and I have never seen my sister again. How could I do this to my sister?"

She looked like a little white rabbit waiting to be slaughtered, full of innocence and pity, she panicked and said: "Could it be that Wen Xiang did something to my sister? It's a pity that she has died in Huangquan and can't come out..." Before she finished speaking, she seemed to be feeling sad, and started to cry sadly.

Wen Xiang is dead?Yu Ruyan's expression froze, her first reaction was to turn her head to look at Yue Yu beside her, her eyes were full of disbelief——

Could it be that Yue Yu shot and killed her!

Yue Yu understood her thoughts, and wrote lightly: "Wen Xiang was caught in the aphrodisiac, and wanted to do something wrong to me, but was killed by the Third Highness by mistake!"

Manslaughter?

Yu Ruyan was stunned on the spot, and after a while she realized that someone must have told Mu Lingzhi that she and Yue Yu were having an affair in the wing, and that Mu Lingzhi's belief was true before he committed the murder!
In other words, if the person in the wing room was me, I must have died!
Does he not trust her that much?
The chill was like a terrifying poisonous snake crawling all over her body along the soles of her feet, and she shivered. It turned out that in his heart, he never really believed in her, nor did he really accept her!
Looking up, Mu Lingzhi accompanied Mu Ziyue tenderly and looked at her from above, his face was indifferent and his eyes were gloomy, as if he was blaming her for hurting Mu Ziyue.Her heart ached, her body felt hot and cold, she couldn't stand still and almost fell to the ground, Yue Yu helped her up.

Seeing Mu Ziyue crying, the crown prince felt even more dissatisfied with Yu Ruyan, and said sharply: "Xiaoyue has been drinking and gossiping with us here, how could she harm you! It's really unreasonable for a little maidservant to dare to slander the daughter of the Xiangfu!"

Yu Ruyan's heart skipped a beat.She looked at Mu Ziyue with a delicate face, and knew that now that Wen Xiang died, and there was no proof of her death, no one would believe what she said.

But even so, she didn't want to let that hypocritical and vicious white lotus go!

She looked at Mu Ziyue coldly, and said loudly: "Miss Mu said on the surface that she would accompany the servant to rest and freshen in the wing room, but she didn't expect that in the wing room, she would join hands with Wen Xiang to knock me out with a stick, and then throw the servant into the water to drown .Luckily, the maidservant has a big life, so she came ashore and left a small life to testify against the wicked."

After finishing speaking, she turned sideways and lifted up her cascading black hair, showing her neck to everyone.When everyone looked at her, they saw a patch of black and purple on her snow-white neck, which was obviously the mark left by a heavy object.

And when she was found just now, she was indeed soaked wet, and the servants of the palace can also testify that she was indeed found in the pool behind the wing room. As a result, everyone's eyes on Mu Ziyue began to change. Dark and unknown.

The upright Wang Tianyu stood up, looked at Mu Ziyue with sarcasm, and said with disdain: "It turns out that the truth is like this! The master and servant are working hand in hand, and taking this opportunity, apart from the enemy in their eyes, they can also help their girl." High position. It’s really a good method.”

Hearing this, the Prince's expression was a little shaken—is it true that, as Wang Tianyu said, all of this is caused by Xiaoyue?

As soon as this idea came out, he frightened himself, and he couldn't help shaking his head to drive away this terrible idea, and scolded: "Miss Wang must not make random conclusions before the matter is found out, I don't believe that Xiaoyue will You did such a disastrous thing!"

As soon as his words fell, Yue Yu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said slowly: "The aphrodisiac incense in the wing room is still a product of a small country in the Western Regions. It is extremely precious and rare. A little maidservant in the prime minister's mansion actually has this kind in her hand. Things, it can be regarded as an eye-opener for the grassroots!"

What he meant was that the precious spices in Wen Xiang's hands that can only be found in small countries in the Western Regions must be given by someone else, and this person is most likely her master Mu Ziyue.

His words once again locked the target on Mu Ziyue.

At this point, the truth of the matter seemed to have come to light, and everyone felt a sigh of relief. They all looked at the prince and waited for him to make a final decision.

From the beginning until now, Mu Lingzhi, who was sitting by the side, hadn't said a word. His eyes were dark and his face was gloomy. He just drank one cup after another, as if he ignored everything that happened in front of him.

After Yu Ruyan accused Mu Ziyue, she stopped speaking. She looked at the man who was drunk while drinking, and felt like a thick layer of ice had formed in her heart. It was bitingly cold!

As smart as he is, he should have seen the conspiracy at a glance, but he chose to remain silent. His silence was to protect the person in his heart!
The prince looked hesitantly at Mu Ziyue who was stunned, and said slowly: "Xiaoyue, do you have anything to say?"

Mu Ziyue had been crying all the time, at this moment she suddenly wiped away the tears from her face and rushed to Yu Ruyan, shouting: "Sister, why did you wrong me? Wen Xiang came back and didn't stay for a while. Wen Xiang was just because I saw you not showing up for a long time and asked her to find you. Now, she died in your room inexplicably, and you still conspired with Mr. Yue to slander you. Me, it's too much!"

"Wen Xiang has been by my side since I was a child. She has always followed the rules and has a gentle and kind disposition. How could she become the vicious and disgusting person you say overnight? She has no hatred or grudge with you, and it is the first time meeting Mr. Yue , what purpose does she have to do this?"

Mu Ziyue was heartbroken and cried to Yu Ruyan, as if she had suffered a great injustice, she cried into tears.With a flash of light in her eyes, she suddenly realized: "I understand, it must be that when Wen Xiang went looking for you, he saw something that he shouldn't have seen, and that's why you framed him instead..."

With a 'plop', she knelt heavily in front of the prince and begged: "Your Highness, the death of your servant's servant is too unjust, please Your Highness seek justice for her."

The sudden reversal of the plot was so intense that the guests present were all confused, and they were all stunned on the spot as if they were looking at flowers in a fog.
