The foolish prince counterattacks the concubine

Chapter 325

Not long after, Mu Xirao had already arrived at the Mu Mansion.

In other words, the living guard should not stay in the Mu Mansion, but because of the willow branch, she did not allow the guard to leave, and at that time, no one had heard about the capture of Mu Mingyuan, Mo Hanling, and Mu Yuwei. Knowing that, the guards had no choice but to stop at Mu Mansion first.

As a result, Mu Xirao arrived at the Mu Mansion with his front foot, and then sent people to the center with his back foot. Among them was Imperial Concubine Si, and Mu Xirao sat high above.

After Tan Ting saw Mu Xirao who was doing it above, he first glanced at Concubine Si, and then stepped forward: "The old minister will see the Crown Princess, the Crown Princess is well."

After Mu Xirao put down the teacup in her hand, she glanced at Concubine Si from the corner of her eye, but she also sat still, because Mo Zhengxiang had decreed that she was pregnant now and could be exempted.

Imperial Concubine Si also knew about this matter, she would not talk about it, and she didn't have time to argue with Mu Xirao now, she was still worried about Ling'er's safety.

Since Mu Xirao was in the Mu Manor, she might also be worried about Mu Mingyuan's safety, but Mu Xirao has never been liked by Mu Mingyuan, so why would she still care about Mu Mingyuan.

At this time, Liu Zhi heard the sound and rushed to the hall. After she saw Mu Xirao for the first time, she saw that Mu Xirao had no expression on her face. The imperial concubine, the empress is blessed and safe."

Concubine Si looked at the willow branch coldly, she sat down furiously, slapped her hand on the table, and cursed: "Liu Zhi, you are guilty."

Liu Zhi is also a smart person, she knows what crime Si Guifei is talking about?She immediately knelt down, and she apologized: "Your concubine, I know I'm guilty, but I also care about my master, Prince Ling, and Princess Ling."

After Liu Zhi's explanation, Imperial Concubine Si became even more furious, she held Liu Zhi angrily, and said angrily: "Liu Zhi, you are so brave, you dare to hide such a big thing from my concubine that Prince Ling was taken captive?" With the emperor, do you still have the emperor and this concubine in your eyes?"

The cap is really high, and Liu Zhi panicked for a moment. She never thought that Concubine Si would make an issue out of this matter. She knew that Concubine Si was a cruel woman, even her own grandson You can sacrifice, let alone Yuwei and the master, if you let Concubine Si know first, it is inevitable that Concubine Si will not save Yuwei and the master for the sake of Prince Ling. Lord, who are they.

Liu Zhi looked at Mu Xirao as if begging for help, and wanted Mu Xirao to help her talk, but she was also worried. She knew Mu Xirao hated her, so how could she help her?It was she who was confused, but when she lowered her head, unexpectedly, a calm female voice came from her ear.

Mu Xirao said indifferently: "Young concubine, you can't blame Mrs. Mu for this matter. The father handed over the political affairs of the court to the crown prince, Lord Ling and Princess Ling, and Mrs. Mu was the first to report the robbery of General Mu. Prince, the prince was also concerned about the bodies of his father and imperial concubine Si, so Gu Ercai did not inform in time.

Prince Ri was also worried about the safety of Lord Ling and the other three, and was about to go out of the city to search for clues before dawn. Unexpectedly, he met Mr. Fu on the way, saying that something big had happened in the court, and most of the ministers in the court said yes. Sick and took a leave of absence.

Concubine Si, you said this matter, isn't it very strange, why are you all on sick leave at this time. "

Noble Concubine Si would not admit that she was the one who asked Taifu Fu to spread the letter to his disciples and asked them to ask for leave. She pretended not to know, and coughed lightly: "This matter is strange, but the most important thing now is The thing is to save Lord Ling."

After listening to Concubine Si's words, Liu Zhi felt angry in her heart. This Concubine Si only wanted to save Prince Ling, but her daughter and her husband didn't think about it at all.

Concubine Xu Shisi also felt Liu Zhi's displeasure. She looked at Mu Xirao and wanted to know from her if they went to the foot of Fushen Mountain today to find any clues.

Thinking of this, Concubine Si anxiously asked: "Prince, have you found any clues?"

There was a sneer at the corner of Mu Xirao's mouth. She looked at Concubine Si playfully, but shook her head. Immediately, Concubine Si's expectations were gone, and she seemed to be overwhelmed. She thought, if something happened to Ling'er, she would How should I live.

Concubine Si clenched her hands tightly under her sleeves, she flicked them suddenly, looked at the escaped bodyguard and official secretary, she said seriously, "Tan Ting, take this person back to the official department for interrogation, see if there is any leftover The clue, everyone was robbed, and you were the only one who escaped." The voice turned slightly, and her little purple hand slapped the table heavily, and she was slightly annoyed: "Say, are you a spy sent by the other party? Where did your lord take you?"

The guard was also panicked, his face changed drastically, he was in a coma, and he woke up the next morning, but luckily he was in a coma, the man in black thought he was dead, so he didn't find him, and now he is detained by Concubine Si With a big hat on his head, he is really speechless.

The guards immediately knelt up and said, "Your Majesty, this servant is definitely not a spy. I am in a coma and woke up the next day. This servant is really not a spy. Please learn from me."

The guard's words were very real. Mu Xirao didn't seem to be lying. She looked at Concubine Si and said, "Your Majesty, I think the guard is telling the truth. Master Tan thinks so. ?”

Tan Ting glanced at Concubine Si and then at Concubine Si. He stepped forward and said respectfully, "Return to Concubine Concubine, what the Crown Princess said, I think this guard is telling the truth."

When Concubine Si heard this, she had nothing to say, she had an ugly face, and she asked: "Then I will leave this matter to Lord Tan. My concubine will know the whereabouts of Prince Ling tomorrow."

What she said made Tan Ting slightly stunned tomorrow, tomorrow, can he find out?He didn't believe it, he had no clue, how to investigate.

At this time, after Mu Xirao lightly sipped her tea, she seemed to casually sneer: "Your concubine, aren't you embarrassing Mr. Tan? This is completely clueless. Where can Mrs. Tan find out?"

After Mu Xirao finished speaking, Imperial Concubine Si's eyes were slightly displeased. When she was doing things, it was Mu Xirao's turn to dictate.

Just when Mu Xirao was mocking Concubine Si, a person came to the Mu residence, saying that the emperor let the living guard into the palace.

This time, Mu Xirao looked at Si and Concubine Si amusedly, and she chuckled, "Concubine Si, so you are falsely preaching the imperial decree."

As a result, before Concubine Si could answer, Tan Ting stepped forward first, and said respectfully to Mu Xirao, "Princess Concubine, please don't misunderstand, the imperial concubine is just worried about King Ling, and sent an old official to ask the guards to see if there is any clue. , now that the emperor has sent someone to take care of this matter, the noble concubine, then the old minister will step down first."

Noble Concubine Si nodded. She didn't think carefully about this matter, and came here without getting the emperor's oral order. Fortunately, she was not caught.

Tan Ting went out the door with his front foot, and a military general came in with his back foot, but judging from the general's appearance, he was not as rough as ordinary generals, but he looked a bit like a literati.

I saw the military general stepping forward and bowing to Mu Xirao and Concubine Si: "Minister Zeng Lin sees the imperial concubine, Your Highness the Crown Princess."

Concubine Si also saw that this person was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she met her. She nodded, raised her hand slightly, and asked softly, "Zeng Lin? Why hasn't my concubine seen you on weekdays?"

Only then did the general say: "If you go back to Madam, Zeng Lin only returned to Beijing yesterday, so Madam has never seen you."

Mu Xirao looked at this person, she listened to what he said, she just returned to Beijing yesterday, Zeng Lin, why did she feel that this name was somewhat familiar, suddenly she seemed to think of something?
She said, "Zeng Lin? Could it be that civil and military champion a few years ago."

After seeing Mu Xirao, Zeng Lin probably didn't expect that Mu Xirao would know about him. He was taken aback for a moment, and then he came back to his senses: "If you go back to the princess, it's the minister."

He is also curious about this Mu Xirao. There are many rumors about her in the capital. When I saw her today, she is as beautiful as a fairy. I heard that this Mu Xirao is smart and bold. He once confronted the emperor in court. Don't be afraid, this kind of aura is not something ordinary people can do, but it is true when I saw it today.

From the first step into the hall, he felt that there were several probing eyes on his body, but one of them made his body tremble slightly. The eyes were too cold and arrogant, and there was an inexplicable domineering invisibly. He thought it was the emperor who was doing this.

After listening to Zeng Lin's answer, Concubine Si suddenly realized that it was him, Ji Yuanlang of Civil and Military Affairs a few years ago, who only met Zeng Lin once at the canonization ceremony. Later, I heard that the emperor sent him to guard the frontier. Why did you come back suddenly.

She frowned slightly. This Zeng Lin had never had any contact with the ministers of the court. Now that he came back suddenly, he must have military power in his hands, so who would he support?

She tried to ask: "I don't know why Mr. Zeng returned to Beijing this time?"

Zeng Lin didn't hide it either, he said: "If you go back to your mother, several small tribes in the frontier have been subdued by the ministers and other soldiers. Naturally, the ministers have no room to use their talents. The emperor sent them back to Beijing."

Concubine Si was taken aback again, the frontier had calmed down, the emperor sent Zeng Lin back to the capital, her eyes were clear, Zeng Lin was someone like the emperor and also someone from Mo Ziyan's side, the light in her eyes appeared, No, she wants to win Zeng Lin over, and there are two ways to win a man, one is beauty and the other is money.

After thinking about it, she said: "Zeng Lin is also 25 six, it's time to start a family, my noble concubine, how about being a matchmaker for you?"

Concubine Si thought about the desolate and uninhabited place in the frontier, how can there be beauty, Zeng Lin is still a man no matter what, and a man must like women, she thought, betrotting the daughter of the minister under her command to him is also considered a gift Concubine Si had a good idea of ​​slowly borrowing his wife's hand to win him over with only his favor, but the matter was not as simple as she thought.
