The morning light is twilight, the earth is hazy, as if shrouded in a silver-gray veil, and a few faint rosy clouds glow in the eastern sky, gradually covering the waking things with a gorgeous red dress.
Today is destined to be a sunny and sunny day, and for Mu Ziling, it is a good day when she can go to the Meditation Garden with peace of mind.
But, will today really be so smooth
After the ghost resigned, Mu Ziling didn't think too much about whether Long Xiaoyu had notified Le Tian about the matter, she would settle the matter beforehand, so she hurriedly ate breakfast and went to the palace.
As soon as the carriage stopped at the gate of Nanhe Palace, before Mu Ziling had time to lift the curtain, the curtain was lifted by a big hand outside, and what came into view was a naughty, naughty smiling face .
"Sister-in-law three, you're here." Long Xiaoze's face was full of hippie smiles, revealing two white canine teeth, it was really cute.
Mu Ziling was puzzled, this kid Long Xiaoze has nothing to do on weekdays, is he in a hurry, why did he come here early in the morning to join in the fun
"En." Mu Ziling responded lightly, lifted her skirt, and took a few steps to jump off the carriage.
"Sister-in-law three, come on, slow down, I'll help you." Long Xiaoze stretched out his hand towards Mu Ziling with a smile.
Mu Ziling gave him a strange look, always feeling that something was wrong, without thinking too much, she still put her hand on his and jumped down.
After Mu Ziling got off the carriage, Long Xiaoze stepped forward to beat her shoulders and back again, with a courteous expression on his face: "Sister-in-law, are you tired after sitting in the carriage for so long?"
Now Mu Ziling finally knew something was wrong with Long Xiaoze, he smiled very brightly today, and he treated her like a dog.
Although Long Xiaoze usually looks like a ruffian, but Mu Ziling just feels that today's Long Xiaoze treats her even more.
Being slapped by Long Xiaoze like this, Mu Ziling suddenly felt the pain from the palm that was slapped on his shoulder last night, and frowned, not paying much attention to it.
She turned sideways to avoid Long Xiaoze's busy hands on her shoulders, narrowed her beautiful eyes, looked at Long Xiaoze's hippie smiling face carefully, and asked directly: "What do you want?"
If you don't have anything to do, you can either rape or steal!
Long Xiaoze is so obsequious today, even with his toes, he knows that something is wrong with this baby.
"Auyou, sister-in-law three, don't look at me like that, what can I do! I just thought you might feel uncomfortable riding in a carriage, so I'll give you a shoulder." Long Xiaoze pursed his coquettish red mouth, pretending Seriously.
"It's really all right? Then I'll go in." Mu Ziling obviously didn't believe it, squinted his eyes and glanced at Long Xiaoze again, and then walked into the Nanhe Palace self-consciously.
"Sister-in-law three, wait, I heard that you are going to the back mountain to look for things today, can you take me with you?" Long Xiaoze hurriedly followed Mu Ziling's footsteps like a gust of wind.
Mu Ziling stopped, and said angrily: "Go if you want, no one is stopping you! You and—"
Seeing what Mu Ziling said, Long Xiaoze hurriedly interrupted her: "Hey, you let me go, Third Sister-in-Law, so I can't go back on my word." The third brother only allowed me to run around in the palace, not to leave the palace even once. Yes, if the third brother finds me afterwards, I will tell him that you let me go.
For the latter words, Long Xiaoze just thought silently in his heart, he didn't dare to say it, otherwise how could he leave the palace.
He was almost suffocated in the palace these days, and finally had the opportunity to go out, how could he miss this good opportunity.
After Long Xiaoze finished speaking, he seemed afraid that Mu Ziling would ask something, whistled energetically, and rushed into the Nanhe Palace with cheerful steps.
What kind of wind is this guy, and what the hell is he doing
Mu Ziling behind him was confused and frowned slightly.
To be so attentive to her early in the morning is to go to the back mountain
Why does she feel like she's been tricked
-
In the main hall of Nanhe Palace, there was only a little maid serving tea and Shen Siyang. At this moment, Shen Siyang was sitting calmly on the chair at the lower end. He had already received the news from the ghost early in the morning, and he came here one step ahead of Mu Ziling.
Seeing Mu Ziling coming in, Shen Siyang stood up and bowed respectfully: "I will see you, my lord, my concubine!"
"Pingshen, Mr. Shen doesn't need to be too polite." Mu Ziling said in a low voice, paused to scan his eyes, and then asked: "Is the fifth prince not here?"
"Third sister-in-law, fifth brother didn't sleep well after being tortured a few days ago, he is still sleeping now, do you want me to wake him up." Long Xiaoze approached with a playful smile.
"No, let him sleep." Mu Ziling waved his hand casually, Long Xiaonan's illness is already cured, and he has asked all the necessary questions, and now there is nothing wrong with him.
"My lord, the official has just sent people to find out which palace the white cat belonged to before, and how it got injured and brought it to Nanhe Palace." Shen Siyang said with awe-inspiring respect without looking sideways.
He already knew that Princess Qi found out the clues this morning, and he knew that this girl must not be simple.
The Sanfa Division racked their brains to investigate the case that could not be found for several days, and this girl found the clue in less than a day, which has to be impressive.
Mu Ziling nodded knowingly, this Shen Siyang is worthy of being the boss of Dali Temple, he is thoughtful and efficient.
"Where's the little eunuch who handles the white cat?" Mu Ziling asked again.
"Sister-in-law three, I have already sent someone to call Xiao Lizi over, this meeting should be coming soon." Long Xiaoze was still immersed in the joy just now, with a happy expression on his face, sitting on the grand master's chair, the uncle's legs were raised and trembling .
Xiao Lizi was the little eunuch who was sent by Long Xiaonan to bury the white cat in the back mountain.
As soon as Long Xiaoze finished speaking, a young eunuch rushed in from outside the door.
Before the little eunuch opened his mouth to salute, Long Xiaoze stepped forward, looked outside the empty door, and asked puzzledly. "Didn't I ask you to call someone, where are people?"
"My concubine, the sixth prince, Xiao Lizi was fetching water by the well this morning, and accidentally fell into the well. After being found, he was already drowned when he was caught." The little eunuch took another breath before he had time to catch his breath. Finish the sentence.
"Drown?" Mu Ziling and Long Xiaoze said in unison.
Shen Siyang paused his hand stroking his beard, and he was also surprised.
"Yes, yes, drowned." The little eunuch took a deep breath, nodded again and again affirmed.
"Sister-in-law three, what should we do? Now that Xiao Lizi is dead, how can we find him because the back mountain is so big?" Long Xiaoze immediately restrained his face and asked worriedly.
Mu Ziling frowned slightly, how could it be such a coincidence.
It's too strange to die sooner or later, but this time is chosen, and he died by falling into a well. The death is unclear, and it's too strange.
From last night to now, only a few people know about this matter. How could the speed over there be so fast? Could it be that the Queen has already predicted it a long time ago? If this is the case...
"No matter how big you are, you have to look for it, and you have to dig three feet to find it." Mu Ziling's clear eyes flashed annoyance, he clenched his fists tightly, his expression condensed.
The assassination last night was unsuccessful, the queen has already carefully thought about it one step forward, and started to think long-term, anxious to destroy the evidence. If the queen finds the white cat first, it will really be a waste of all previous efforts.
"The concubine said that it should not be too late. I will take people to the back mountain to look for it." Shen Siyang has been investigating the case for many years, and now he naturally knows that the murderer is in a hurry to destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces.
Mu Ziling nodded, and then went to the back mountain with Long Xiaoze.
Mu Ziling looked dumbfounded at the so-called "back mountain" they said.
"I'll go!" Mu Ziling was dumbfounded, and couldn't help uttering two words.
This, where is the back mountain? How does it look like the back mountain
On one side is a steep cliff like an ax chopping a knife, towering into the sky.
On one side is the gloomy and strange foggy forest, a vast expanse of whiteness, it seems that once you enter it, you can’t get out, and the surrounding area is very quiet, which is a bit unusual.
Looking for the white cat, this matter seems to be suspended!
If the little eunuch buried the white cat nearby, it should be easier for them to find it. If it was randomly thrown on the cliff, it might be picked up by wild animals...
-
Kunning Palace.
The queen received the news early in the morning that the dozens of killers sent last night failed in the assassination.
The queen knew that Long Xiaoyu was not in the Palace of Qi Wang, so she could attack easily, but she did not expect that the Palace of Qi Wang was so strict, and none of the dozens of killers could come out, her mood was already complicated.
Unexpectedly, not long ago, there was another incident that made her restless and inadvertently upset. She didn't expect Mu Ziling to be so fast, and even accidentally found the white cat all at once.
Originally, she also believed that Mu Ziling didn't know what kind of Gu was in Long Xiaonan, and that she was able to save Long Xiaonan was entirely due to that purple toad, but now if it is said that Mu Ziling doesn't know what kind of Gu is in Long Xiaonan , Killing her, she didn't believe it either.
From this point of view, the purple toad was just a cover, if he didn't know what Gu was in Long Xiaonan, how could Mu Ziling find out about it
Mu Ziling is really very capable!
The queen sat at the dining table, looking at the dazzling array of dishes, the haze and resentment in her heart became heavier and heavier, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and finally she was so angry that she swept the food on the table heavily to the ground.
"Mu, Zi, Ling!" The queen paused every word, gnashing her teeth, almost gnashing her silver teeth, her clenched fists were trembling uncontrollably, the silk cloth in her hand was almost torn to pieces.
If Mu Ziling really knew about the parasitic Gu, would he also have discovered the previous bird's nest
No, it is absolutely impossible for Mu Ziling to know!
At this moment, the queen doesn't have a kind and friendly expression, her face is distorted, and every move reflects how angry and disturbed the queen is at the moment.
The old woman beside her hurried forward to comfort her: "Your Majesty, calm down, now that Xiao Lizi is dead, it is not so easy for them to find the white cat in the huge back mountain, and they will never find out whether the white cat is Where did it come from, this old slave has another plan, which can kill two birds with one stone."
"Say!" The queen slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and gradually suppressed the anger in her heart.
A venomous and vicious light flashed in the eyes of the old nanny, and she approached the queen's ear and whispered a few words.
"It's a double win! This time there must be no mistakes." After hearing this, the anger in the Queen's heart gradually dissipated. Instead, she raised her red lips unscrupulously, nodded knowingly, and smiled unfathomably.
