The concubine is so charming

Chapter 1071 Doubtful
Hearing Meng Rou's words, Mu Qingchen's expression changed suddenly: "You're right, it's definitely not easy to take care of this Prince Rong's Mansion, and it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to restore it to its current state , in Rongcheng, there must be many clues to be found."

"What does the emperor plan to do?"

"Didn't you receive a letter from King Side-by-Shoulder a few days ago, saying that there is a drought in Rongcheng, and there is a risk of locust plagues, so I want you to check it out, so let's take a good look at Rongcheng right now."

Mu Qingchen took Meng Rou out, and just after leaving the gate, she saw the prefect of Rongcheng rushing over with someone: "Who is so bold, dare to trespass the forbidden area?"

Mu Qingchen frowned: "When did Prince Rong's Mansion become a forbidden place?"

"King Rong conspired against him, and Mu Cixiu even betrayed the entire Da'an Dynasty. The site of their former residence naturally became a forbidden area. Who are you two? Why did you come here, but what is the relationship with the former King Rong?"

Mu Qingchen carefully looked at the prefect of Rongcheng in front of him: "If you want to talk about involvement, there is really a lot of involvement."

Meng Rou was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud: Although the emperor is unwilling to admit his previous identity, he is also the son of King Rong after all, isn't there something involved?And it's still being dragged incessantly.

"Since there is something involved, follow me to the government office for interrogation!"

"Even if there is some involvement, we didn't do anything wrong, so why should we be taken back for interrogation?"

"King Rong is very powerful. Who knows if it will be revived. Since you are involved with this place, you will have to prove your innocence. You are pushing back and forth. Could it be that you are afraid that the official will find out the problem?"

Mu Qingchen thought for a moment, then nodded to Meng Rou: "Since your lord has kindly invited you, let's go to the government office to take a look."

"Ah."

In the government office, just as the magistrate of Rongcheng was about to issue an order to be promoted to the court for interrogation, he saw Mu Qingchen wandering around in the government office with Meng Rou. He did not regard this place as an official government office at all. Won't you kneel down?"

"There is only one person who can make me kneel down in person, and he is staying in the palace now. Master Li probably doesn't have the qualifications."

"You..." Li Sheng, the magistrate of Rongcheng, was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes widened in horror. He quickly got up and walked in front of Mu Qingchen. After a careful look, he knelt down on the ground with a pale face, " The humble minister was able to see the holy face, but he failed to identify His Majesty's identity in time, and was disrespectful in front of the imperial court, Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Sheng raised his trembling hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead, carefully looked at Meng Rou beside him: "Your Majesty has seen Concubine Meng."

"You know me?"

"The emperor took his mother out of the palace to visit the south of the Yangtze River. It has been spread up and down. The emperor only takes you with him. Naturally, your identity can be confirmed."

"Master Li, you don't need to be too polite. Are you busy with government affairs on weekdays?"

Hearing this, the sweat on Li Sheng's forehead became more and more profuse. Should it be said that he is busy or not?
If he was busy, wouldn't it appear that he was not capable enough to deal with things? If he was not busy, if there was a little chaos in the city, wouldn't it be that he was not good at governance and didn't find out the problem in time?

"The emperor and the empress have just arrived in Rongcheng, but what should I do?"

Meng Rou and Mu Qingchen looked at each other, and said with a smile: "I'm just curious. Not long after the emperor and I arrived in the city, Mr. Li took people directly to Rongwang's mansion. I don't know, I thought Mr. Li always Are you following our whereabouts?"

"The emperor and the empress visited the south of the Yangtze River. As subjects, they are naturally concerned about the safety of the emperor and the empress at all times. However, it was by chance that they found the traces of the emperor and the empress. In the past two days, I received news that someone was quietly Because of the important relationship and the extra sensitivity of the Rongwang Mansion, I have people monitor the news there all the time at a place a little far away. Today I received a report from the guards, so I rushed there with my people. of."

Meng Rou nodded, if that's the case, it's not surprising that Master Li arrived in time.

Mu Qingchen said: "You have received the news before that someone has entered and exited the Rong Palace?"

"Yes."

"Who sent the message?"

"I don't know, but someone threw the letter into the government office early in the morning, and the inspectors found it, and then picked it up and presented it to Weichen."

"Where is the letter?"

"After reading it at that time, Weichen was very surprised, and quickly ordered people to go to the mansion to check. After going there, he found that the pavilions and pavilions in the Rongwang Mansion were so lifelike, as if someone had been living there, but there was no one. Afterwards, Weichen returned to the government office again, and the letter disappeared. Weichen asked the servants carefully, and they all said that they had not seen anyone coming in and out, let alone entering Weichen's study. It is precisely because of this , I became more vigilant in my heart, as soon as I found out that someone had arrived at Prince Rong's mansion, I rushed over there, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet the emperor and Concubine Meng."

"I see. These days, Rongcheng should not be very peaceful. You should send people to inspect carefully. Besides, the city is dry and rainless. As a local parent official, you must always prevent the occurrence of disasters."

"Yes."

Mu Qingchen and Meng Rou decided to stay in Rongcheng for a while, and then carefully wrote the situation here into a letter and sent it to the capital.

In the palace, Su Yao and Chu Feiyan thought they would receive the news of Su Chenxi's arrival on the battlefield first, but they didn't expect to receive a letter from Mu Qingchen.

When Yanluo brought up the letter, Su Yao was very happy, but when he saw the content of the letter, his face suddenly became ugly.

Chu Feiyan noticed that her expression was wrong, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with Yao'er? But the emperor caused disaster in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Su Yao's eyes trembled, and he felt that the letter in his hand was a little heavy: "Master Xiang will understand after reading it."

Chu Feiyan sat beside Su Yao, took the letter and quickly looked it up: "Prince Rong's Mansion..."

After being silent for so long, how could there be such a sudden commotion?

Su Yao was at a loss for words for a while: "Master Xiang, I remember that when Mu Cixiu passed away, you also sent someone to check."

"Ah."

"Then do you see any doubts?"

"At that time, Feng Qi was dispatched there. He was the most reliable in handling affairs, and he should not miss anything."

"If that's the case, then it shouldn't be Mu Cixiu. After all, people cannot be resurrected after death..."

Chu Feiyan was still looking at the letter in his hand, as if he wanted to print every word in his mind.

Su Yao sensed the flickering coldness in his life, and held his hand: "Master Xiang?"

Chu Feiyan reached out and pulled Su Yao into his arms: "Yao'er is mine, no one can take it away."

"It's natural."

"With Yao Er's promise, I won't be afraid of anything. It doesn't matter whether he escaped cunningly, resurrected from the dead, or turned into a ghost to take revenge, as long as Yao Er's heart is with me, no matter what kind of monster he is! If you dare to provoke me, let him come and go!"
