The Pastoral Empress Merchant
Chapter 759 Conspiracy?Accident?
Chapter 759 Conspiracy?Accident?
Mu Jinxi's attitude was firm, her tone was unquestionable, and she spoke word by word, making it impossible for people to find an excuse to refuse.
"Let her go, I can't hide it at this time."
The voice behind Mu Jinxi made her turn around abruptly, and saw Jue Lin's chest heaving slightly, it could be seen that he rushed over after hearing the report from the guards in the mansion, he looked at her guiltily, without saying a word .
Mu Jinxi pursed her lips, in her heart she understood what they did, but at the same time, she wanted to blame him. Xiaobao is her son, so how could he not tell her what happened?She is their relative, and also Xiaobao's mother!Can't they understand their feelings?
Jue Lin walked over, took her hand lightly and said in a low voice: "I'm just worried that you will get emotional if you know that Xiao Bao is injured, and you will get angry. You are more than eight months old now, so don't be careless." , That's why I didn't tell you, I wanted to find a suitable opportunity to tell you when Xiaobao got better, I didn't expect..." He sighed softly, but she didn't expect to be noticed by her in the end, "I'm sorry, I I didn't mean to hide it from you on purpose..."
He knew that she would not be easily deceived when she asked this question last night. What's more, there were indeed some loopholes in what he said last night. No wonder the more she listened, the more suspicious she became. Otherwise, he would not believe it Yes, no matter what, you won't leave your child somewhere else and never pick it up. Those words are just excuses.
Mu Jinxi shook her head, looked at him, then looked at the people in the hall, and said: "I know you are doing it for my own good, but now that I know it, and people are already here, I haven't seen you You won't be at ease with Xiaobao's words, do you think it will be better for me to be so worried?"
Juelin and the people from the Xiao Mansion looked at each other before saying, "Okay, I'll take you to see Xiaobao now, but you have to promise me that no matter what, you have to calm down and think about the child in your stomach, okay?" ?"
Mu Jinxi nodded solemnly.
Jue Lin led her to the front, followed by the people from the Xiao Mansion, all of them looked heavy, and no one spoke. This situation made Mu Jinxi more sure that Xiao Bao must have been seriously injured. Thinking of her Her heart couldn't help trembling, she couldn't even imagine how dangerous Xiaobao would be if he was seriously injured at such a young age, and she still didn't know where he was injured, he had been injured for several days, as a mother , I only realized now that Juelin and the others hid it from me, on the one hand, and on the other hand, I was careless and negligent.
Xiaobao is still placed in Xiao Xiao’s yard now, because he lived in Xiao Xiao’s yard before going to Prince Mu’s Mansion, and all his things are still there, so now he is still living in the previous room, but he was injured Now, whether it is the two brothers Xiao Xiao or others, they take turns to take care of him. Even at night, there are people guarding his room, just because they are afraid that he will feel uncomfortable in the middle of the night. Come.Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun were even more so.
Before entering the room, Mu Jinxi smelled a strong smell of medicine, and couldn't help but quicken her pace a lot, even letting Jue Lin hold her hand, and walked quickly into the inner room.
But when she walked into the inner room and saw the pale person lying under the quilt with a thick gauze wrapped around her head, her pupils shrank and she couldn't help shaking.
"Jin'er!"
Jue Lin quickly stepped forward to catch her shaking body, and said anxiously: "Don't worry, don't panic, calm down, calm down, Xiaobao is fine now, just fell asleep!"
Everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly gathered around and comforted her one by one, for fear that she would become agitated and her fetus would become gassy, which would hurt the baby in her stomach.
Mu Jinxi closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths before opening her eyes and said, "I, I'm fine, Jue Lin, help me over there to have a look."
A deep worry flashed in Jue Lin's eyes, but in the end he didn't say anything, and slowly walked over while supporting her waist.
Mu Jinxi took a closer look, her eyes turned red immediately, and she couldn't help but shed tears, because she saw that Xiaobao not only had a thick gauze wrapped around his head, but also had some scratches on his face, as if touched What kind of stones were scratched on it, some of them had scabs, and some were still red. It can be seen that the wound was not shallow, and there was a faint redness in the gauze on the head.It's been a few days, and the gauze is still oozing blood, which shows that his injury is worse than he imagined!
No wonder the imperial physician from the palace was invited!She knew that since the imperial doctor was invited, Xiaobao's injury must be serious, and it has been like this for a few days now, I can't imagine the severity of the injury that day!
When she thought that her son was injured a few days ago, and it was so serious, and she didn't know it at all, and she didn't accompany him to comfort him at this time, she felt very uncomfortable.Mu Jinxi stretched out her hand tremblingly and gently stroked Xiaobao's warm face, feeling both guilt and pain in her heart, ashamed that she, as a mother, hadn't been by his side when the child was hurt, the pain was because he was so young She had suffered such suffering, she couldn't imagine, what would she do if something happened to Xiaobao?
"How could Xiaobao get hurt? Didn't he follow Dongyang? And the hidden guard you sent? What are they doing for food?" Mu Jinxi asked angrily.
It's just that when she yelled, Xiaobao, who had been sleeping, opened his eyes, and in a daze, he saw someone sitting beside him. After blinking a few times, he realized that it was his mother. He immediately showed a happy smile, which made his pale face even more pitiful and distressing.
"Mother, is that you? Why did mother come here? Is it snowing outside? Is my brother still okay?" Xiaobao asked in a weak voice, he was concerned from the beginning, and he didn't show any distress at all. It seems that he is not injured now, but just lying on the bed casually.
Mu Jinxi stretched out her hand and gently stroked the small wound on Xiaobao's face, held back her tears and said with a choked voice: "Xiaobao, it was mother who came to see you, I'm sorry, mother didn't even know you were injured, these few days Heaven has not come to see you, does it hurt?"
Xiaobao smiled happily and shook his head lightly, "It doesn't hurt now, mother, it was Xiaobao who said not to tell mother, Xiaobao is worried about mother and sister."
Xiaobao insisted that his mother was carrying a younger sister, not a younger brother.
Xiao Bao's words immediately made everyone's eyes red, Xiao Nianxun and Mrs. Xiao even covered their faces and turned their heads, secretly wiping the tears from their eyes with a handkerchief.
"Mother and sister are fine, but you, you have become a little cat, you have to heal your wounds obediently, otherwise you will become ugly!" Mu Jinxi held back her distress and said with a tearful smile.
Xiaobao widened his eyes, and said nervously: "Mother, don't become an ugly monster, Xiaobao will heal up obediently, and he will be fine soon, mother, don't worry, Xiaobao will get better soon of!"
"Okay, mother believes that Xiaobao will be strong and will get better soon, mother will accompany Xiaobao every day in the future, and mother will also live in Xiaofu!" Mu Jinxi said her decision , and no one objected, and everyone knew that it was impossible for her to go back to Prince Mu's Mansion and leave Xiaobao here at this time, and Xiaobao is not suitable for moving now.
Xiaobao's eyes lit up, and he shifted his gaze to his father as if asking questions, as if asking him if it was real.
Jue Lin also came over, nodded and said with a smile, "Well, Daddy will also live here, and we will go back to Prince Mu's Mansion together after Xiaobao is well."
Little Bao grinned, his eyes gleamed brightly, "Okay, then Xiaobao can see mother every day, mother, you don't know, Xiaobao misses you, and misses his sister too." !” As he spoke, he was about to reach out to touch his sister.
Mu Jinxi hurriedly sat forward, grabbed his little hand and pressed it to her belly.
As soon as Xiao Bao put his hand on his belly, he felt a movement under his palm, as if something kicked him, Xiao Bao was stunned, then opened his eyes wide, and said in surprise: "Mother, sister! Moved, is she saying hello to Xiaobao? Is my sister also caring about Xiaobao? "
"Yeah, my sister knows that you are injured and is worried about you, so you have to take good care of your injury, otherwise my sister will also be worried, you know? And my sister will come out to meet you in more than a month, you If you want to play with your sister, then get well soon." Mu Jinxi said softly.
Xiaobao nodded vigorously and said: "Well, mother, Xiaobao will definitely be very serious and work hard to heal his wounds! Xiaobao will recover soon! Mother and sister don't worry."
After finishing speaking, he touched Mu Jinxi's stomach and said seriously: "Sister, brother will definitely get better soon, when you come out, brother will take you to play, brother has a very good Friends, if you have a friend, they will play with you too!"
Hearing Xiaobao's words, Mu Jinxi's eyes flashed and she asked, "Xiaobao, why did you fall from the high platform that day? Where is Dongyang? Didn't you follow?"
Speaking of this little treasure, he lowered his eyes as if he had done something wrong, looked at his mother timidly, pointed his little finger lightly, and said in a low voice after a long time: "Xiaobao wants to play in the snow, but Dongyang won't let her." Xiaobao played, so Xiaobao tricked Dongyang away..."
When Mu Jinxi heard it, she was really angry and funny, because Dongyang didn't let him play in the snow, so he tricked Dongyang away?If Dongyang was there, it wouldn't make him fall down. Dongyang is older than Xiaobao, and he has practiced martial arts very diligently in the past few years. Although he is young, his skills are not bad among his peers. If Bao really fell from the high platform, Dongyang will make Xiaobao safe and sound, no matter how bad he is, he will not be injured so badly.
It's just that Xiaobao was really playing alone on the high platform at that time?
"Xiaobao, do you still remember the situation at that time? If you do, tell your mother how you were at that time. You played alone on the high platform? Are there any other companions? Is there anyone nearby?" Mu Jinxi asked slowly, her voice was soft, and she didn't put any pressure on Xiao Bao.
Xiaobao blinked and thought for a while before saying: "No, Xiaobao was playing with his companions, we were playing throwing snowballs, and later, Xiaobao, Xiaobao seemed, as if... was hit by something I hit my foot, and then fell down and fell off the high platform..."
When the people around Xiaobao's bed heard this, their faces sank.
"Xiaobao, do you mean that someone smashed your foot, that's why you lost your balance and fell off the platform?" Mu Jinxi asked in a deep voice.
Xiaobao thought about it again but shook his head and said: "Mother, Xiaobao doesn't remember either, Xiaobao was having fun at that time, it seemed that he felt a pain in his calf, and then, just..." Xiaobao He wanted to think about the situation at that time again, but his head also hurt, which made him want to reach out and rub it, and he also cried out in pain.
Mu Jinxi's eyes flashed distressed and nervous, and she hurriedly said: "Xiaobao, it's okay, it's okay, mother already knows, you don't have to think about it, don't think about it, let's talk about it when you get better, okay?"
Hearing his mother said that there is no need to think about it, Xiaobao's spirit relaxed, and the pain in his head disappeared, but his face became paler, which made Mu Jinxi's heart ache, and tears almost flowed out uncontrollably .
Xiaobao has never been injured so seriously. Even when he was bullied in Xiushui Village before, the most serious thing was just being pinched and beaten a few times, but those were children with limited strength, no matter what, they were just flesh and blood It's just a serious injury, not like it is now, it's really hurt the bones, as well as the head.What an important organ the brain is, what if Xiaobao becomes a fool if it is injured?Isn't this life going to be ruined?
"Mother, Xiaobao is a little sleepy and wants to sleep for a while." Xiaobao said a little tiredly.
"It's my mother's fault, she came here to wake you up, go to sleep, my mother is here watching you."
Xiao Bao smiled sweetly before closing his eyes, and soon fell asleep.
Seeing that Xiaobao was asleep, Mu Jinxi gently lifted a corner of the quilt, exposing Xiaobao's legs in white trousers. She gently pulled up Xiaobao's trousers, and grabbed Xiaobao's legs with her warm hands. Little Treasure's legs flipped gently to see if there were any scars on his legs. Although it had been a few days, if what Little Treasure just said was true, there might be some marks on his legs.
After looking at the left leg, there were only some small, long scratches on it, and there were no other abnormal scars, which made her feel sore after seeing it. Then she looked at the right leg again, and finally found Xiaobao's right calf. A circular bruise was found on the inner side of the body, and the color had faded a lot, but a small bruise could still be clearly seen. Seeing this bruise, Mu Jinxi's eyes sank.
It seems that what Xiaobao said was true, something really hit his leg at that time, causing him to fall off the high platform helplessly!
Standing by the bed, Jue Lin also saw the bruise on his son's leg, his eyes narrowed, his hands clenched tightly, and he pursed his lips in silence.
Other people in the Xiao Mansion who were standing by the bed also saw it, needless to say everyone understood what this meant.
Mu Jinxi sat quietly by the bed and looked at Xiaobao's sleeping face for a while before she stood up and whispered to everyone, "Let's go out and talk, let the maid come in and keep watch."
Everyone nodded, knowing that she had something to say to everyone, and they also had something to say, because what Xiaobao said just now and what they saw.
Ever since Xiaobao was injured, their minds have been on Xiaobao's injury. They just simply asked the teacher in the school, and they listened to what the teacher said. Although they also had doubts in their hearts, they didn't expect it to be In this way, according to Xiaobao's words, it was not an accident that Xiaobao fell off the high platform at all, nor was it Xiaobao's own playfulness, but premeditated!Someone is trying to kill Xiaobao!
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but ignited raging anger in their hearts, wishing to immediately find out the person who hurt Xiaobao and tear him into pieces!Xiaobao is their darling, they love him so much that it's too late, they wish to give him the best things in the world, but now he has suffered such a big injury, lying on the bed weakly and unable to move, it's all because of someone else Harmful?How can they not be angry?
After leaving Xiaobao's room and everyone returned to the front hall, Xiao Xiao said guiltily: "Xiaoxi, I was careless about this matter, I didn't ask the people in the school well that day, and almost let Xiaobao suffer in vain. This time it's hard."
Mu Jinxi shook her head and said, "How can you blame you? At that time, you knew that Xiaobao was injured, so you put all your thoughts on his injury, right? Why would you think of anything else? It's not too late to know now. Xiaobao just now You have all heard the words, if it is an accident, I will not believe it."
"We don't believe it either! We all saw it just now. There is still a faint bruise on Xiaobao's leg. It hasn't faded after a few days. It can be seen that something hit his leg at that time and made him The person who fell off the high platform, the scar has not faded up to now, which shows how strong the force is! The person behind it is clearly intentional, maybe they just want to—" Xiao Xiao said angrily, his eyes turned red with anger, He couldn't utter the second half of the sentence, that person clearly wanted Xiaobao to die!
"Our Xiaobao is young, who did he offend? Let that person be so cruel and want to kill Xiaobao, what a vicious heart!" Feel distressed.
"Investigate! We must find out! You are too deceitful!" Mrs. Xiao was also so angry that his old face was red and black, and his whole body was trembling.He never thought that what he thought was an accident turned out to be a conspiracy!Or is it a conspiracy against one's great-grandson? It really should be hacked into pieces, and if anything happens, it will be directed at their adults. What does it mean to have a knife on a child?Such despicable and shameless, really hateful!
"Yes, we must find out, no matter who is behind it, they will have to pay the price for this incident!" Xiao Jingyan said in a deep voice with a tense face.
"Grandfather, uncle, you don't need to intervene in this matter, I will handle it myself." Mu Jinxi said lightly.
Xiao Jingyan frowned: "Xiaoxi, we are a family, and Xiaobao is also our baby bump."
"Uncle, don't be in a hurry, I have my own considerations, and I'll wait until I find out about this matter first. That person dared to do such a cruel thing to Xiaobao in the school, and he knew Xiaobao's identity but didn't have the slightest scruples, but One can imagine that the other party is either a person of the same noble status, or..." Mu Jinxi paused.
"Xiao Xi, do you think the person behind the scenes is after you or Jue Lin?" Xiao Yujun frowned, "Could it be the person who framed Xiao Hua last time? We haven't investigated the person who framed Xiao Hua until now." Any useful news, will it be that person?"
Mu Jinxi and Jue Lin's expressions froze, but soon returned to normal. Everyone's attention was on Xiaobao's matter, so no one really noticed their expressions for a while, otherwise they would definitely find something of.
Mu Jinxi thought for a while, shaking her head uncertainly, and said, "This, probably not."
"Why do you think not? Do you know who framed Xiao Hua?" Xiao Xiao asked strangely.
"How would I know? Didn't you find something?" Mu Jinxi said without changing expression.
It's not that she wants to defend the old lady Su, but that she doesn't know what will happen if she tells the old lady Su that the person who framed her eldest brother is the old lady Su. It would not do them any good to confront her directly.
The old lady Su is not only the old lady of the Su family, but also the emperor's grandmother!Because of the former empress's relationship, although the emperor can't say how close or respectful he is to this grandmother, he still has the respect he deserves. If they don't have any evidence to prove that the elder brother's work was done by the old lady Su, they will rashly treat the old lady Su only It will become the passive party, and maybe the old lady Su will beat her up.
Uncle is the prime minister, if there is a estrangement with the emperor because of this incident, it will not be worth the loss, and she is not in a hurry to avenge her eldest brother, she believes that there will be a chance!
And this time, she thinks that the old lady Su should not have done it. Xiaobao is her son, yes, but he is also the young son of Prince Mu's mansion. Shall the prince start?The old lady Su faced the old concubine of Shangmu Palace, even if she was the emperor's grandmother, she would definitely not get any benefits if she did such a thing.
So after some analysis, she felt that it wasn't the old lady Su, she shouldn't be so stupid.
What Mu Jinxi was thinking was exactly what Jue Lin was thinking, but if it wasn't done by her grandmother, it would be troublesome. It meant that there were still people in the capital staring at them from the dark, and they didn't even know that at all. Know!They wouldn't be afraid if people in the dark attacked them, but they shot Xiaobao, a child!
Thinking of this, Jue Lin couldn't help but feel a little worried. If the people in the dark wanted to attack the heirs of Prince Mu's mansion, wouldn't Xiaobao always be in danger?There is also the child in Jin'er's belly, she will give birth soon, and the child she gives birth to is also a very weak person, in case someone wants to tamper with the newborn child...
Jue Lin secretly decided that after returning to the mansion, he would secretly investigate the servants in the mansion, and expel anyone who was suspicious!The people who serve in Jinglan Garden have to be checked carefully, and the people who are served by Jin'er are also people who can be absolutely trusted!
Xiao Xiao stared at Mu Jinxi suspiciously for a while.Mu Jinxi looked calm, "Why are you staring at me? It's not like you don't know that I have a lot of things to do in the past six months, and I am pregnant. How can I have so much energy to take care of so many things? Besides, framed brother People are hiding so deep, and there are no usable clues, it is not an easy task to find out."
Mu Jinhua hurriedly said: "Xiaoxi, this matter is not in a hurry, you should take care of your body first, and investigate the person who framed elder brother slowly, anyway, it has been so long now, so there is no rush .”
"Yes, Xiaoxi, you should take care of yourself and the baby in your stomach first."
Others also echoed.
"Then you don't want to interfere with Xiaobao's affairs. Jue Lin and I will take care of it. Xiaobao is the young son of Mu Wangfu. If such a big incident happened, it is impossible for Mu Wangfu to act as if nothing happened."
Jue Lin also nodded and said, "Well, I'll send someone to the school later to find out what's going on."
"By the way, what about Dongyang, call Dongyang over, I have something to ask him." Mu Jinxi thought of Dongyang.
Soon Dongyang was called in, because of Xiaobao's injury, Dongyang also suffered a lot, because he blamed himself very much and felt that he did not protect Xiaobao well, so he was injured.
As soon as he came in, without saying a word, he knelt down heavily towards Mu Jinxi, his body straightened up, "Little Princess, I'm sorry, it's all Dongyang's fault. Dongyang didn't take good care of Xiaobao and caused him to get hurt. Please, Little Princess." Punishment!"
Mu Jinxi looked at Dongyang lightly, seeing the strong guilt and self-blame in his eyes, as well as the haggard look on his face, and asked: "Then tell me why you didn't take good care of Xiaobao?" Is it? Why didn't you follow Xiaobao and let him climb to the high platform to play alone?"
Dongyang choked, pursed his lips and said, "Dongyang shouldn't have left Xiaobao and left alone." But he didn't say why he didn't follow Xiaobao.
It was true that Xiaobao dismissed him at the time, but he felt that even so, it could not be an excuse for not protecting Xiaobao. The little princess cultivated him so wholeheartedly that he hoped that he would be able to protect him by Xiaobao's side, but he But he didn't do it, he failed the little princess' expectations of him, this is a fact!
"Dongyang, tell me what happened that day carefully, without missing a single thing, and then I will decide whether to punish you or not."
Dongyang didn't dare to hesitate, and carefully told the events of that day. From the time they set off from Prince Mu's Mansion to the school, what they did in the school, who they met, and even what they said, Dongyang said out.
"You are saying that you asked Xiao Bao to send a box of snacks to the school's restaurant to pick up snacks, but when the restaurant was about to leave, someone stopped him. Please help deliver a box of snacks to the school principal. You disagree, That person insisted on pestering you to give it to you, but after you sent it, you were told by the dean that no one had ever given him any snacks?" Mu Jinxi quickly found something suspicious in Dongyang's words.
Dongyang nodded firmly.
Jue Lin also frowned, and said: "It seems that the person Dongyang met should deliberately want to delay Dongyang's return, and then attack Xiaobao at the same time."
Dongyang also figured it out later in retrospect, so he blamed himself even more, thinking that Xiaobao was injured entirely because of his own negligence. If he rushed back to Xiao Bao's side instead of going to the dean, then such a thing would never have happened!
"It seems that it was indeed premeditated, but why did you choose that day? Xiaobao has been in school for a while, and he goes to class on time every day. Why didn't he do it when there are so many opportunities?" Xiao Xiao felt puzzled.
Mu Jinxi's eyes were cold, she twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "If I'm right, that person wants to kill two birds with one stone. Because the snow fell heavily that day, and it also snowed two days ago, and the snow has been accumulating It turned into thick ice, and the weather was very cold. If Xiaobao fell from the high platform, he would be seriously injured. Just imagine, if Xiaobao's head hit the ice, what would happen? The weather is cold, and we are in the school, even if we call a doctor in time, it may not be able to save anything."
"Furthermore, I am a month old, and I will give birth in more than a month. If I hear the news that Xiaobao has an accident at this time, how will I react? If I get emotional and give birth prematurely, I will be unlucky." It might be one dead body and two lives! If Xiaobao falls as the person wishes, it will be three lives! Think about it, if this is the case, no matter what kind of blow it will be to the Xiao Mansion or the Mu Palace Do you want to talk more?"
Mu Jinxi's words made everyone break out in cold sweat, and couldn't help trembling.
The person behind it is so vicious!He actually wanted to kill two birds with one stone—no, if something happened to Xiaobao, something would happen to Xiaoxi and the child in her stomach, and if something happened to them, the Xiao Mansion and Prince Mu's Mansion would never be peaceful!Killing many birds with one stone!What kind of person would come up with such vicious thoughts to harm them?Is the person targeted Xiao Xi or Jue Lin, or Mu Wangfu and Xiao Fu?
For a moment, everyone was amazed by Mu Jinxi's words. They couldn't figure out who came up with such a sinister scheme. Their family's behavior and way of doing things have always been like this. If they want to offend someone, they would have offended them long ago. They won't get it now, so who is watching them from behind, ready to make a move at any time?
Mu Jinxi herself can't figure out who did such a thing. Although she may be a big fan in the capital, if she is an enemy in business, she feels that no one in the capital would dare to confront her so directly. Bar?The backers behind her are Prince Mu's Mansion and Xiao Mansion. One is a prince of the opposite sex who has won the emperor's favor, and the other is the current prime minister of Da Chu. Who dares to offend these two people?
Or was it done by Jue Lin or his uncle's political opponents in the court?
Mu Jinxi thought for a while before asking hesitantly: "Uncle, you, have you had any trouble with anyone recently?"
Xiao Jingyan was startled, thought for a while but shook his head and said: "Probably not, my uncle has always acted like this, if he wanted to offend people, he wouldn't just offend now, and during this time, uncle has never done anything in the court that would offend anyone. about..."
"Xiaoxi, do you suspect that father's political opponent may have done it?" Xiao Yu asked.
Mu Jinxi nodded and said: "I thought about it, the possibility of coming for me should not be very high, the most likely thing is for uncle and Jue Lin, or did you offend some serious person? "
The you Mu Jinxi refers to Xiao Yu's two brothers and her elder brother.
The three shook their heads in unison.They were pretty good, they didn't offend anyone, and they didn't even quarrel with anyone. If it was them, it would be even more impossible for them to reach out to Xiaobao, or even want to kill two birds with one stone, killing Xiaoxi and the child in her stomach.
According to Xiao Xi's analysis, it is most likely that it is aimed at Jue Lin!
The three looked at Jue Lin with burning eyes.
Jue Lin raised his eyebrows: "You suspect that they are coming after me?"
Everyone nodded.
Jue Lin lowered his eyes and thought for a while and said, "I haven't done anything, but I'm not sure if I offended anyone. After all, after the emperor ordered me to be a chief minister, I did some things that may have hurt some people." human interests."
But for this benefit to kill his son?Does anyone really dare to do this?Jue Lin was not sure either.
Mu Jinxi turned her gaze, looked at Dongyang and asked again: "The weather was so cold that day, how could Xiaobao want to play in the snow on the high platform? How could he suddenly want to eat snacks? I remember that I had someone prepare it before going out. The food is in the food box, why do you need to go to the restaurant to pick it up?" This is also one of the doubts.
Dongyang thought for a while and said: "At first, Xiaobao just wanted to go out to play in the snow. It seems that someone suggested to go to the snowball fight first. At first, Xiaobao still remembered what the little princess told him, but everyone else called to play together. In the end, Xiaobao agreed, and Xiaobao hadn't climbed to the high platform before Dongyang left."
Dongyang's words made Mu Jinxi more sure that the matter was premeditated, and the premeditated time was not short. The people behind must have waited for a long time before they finally got the right opportunity. Seeing his bloody appearance, he will definitely have fetal gas, and may even give birth prematurely... Jue Lin and his uncle are not wrong in their consideration, they are right to hide it from themselves, although this has wronged Xiaobao, he was injured But mother is not by his side. Fortunately, there are so many relatives by his side.
Mu Jinxi had mixed feelings in her heart, touched her belly, and felt that the child in her belly was hardworking. There have been a lot of things since the big wedding, and they are all bad things. If it was in an ordinary family, it would probably be disgusted by others It's a catastrophe or something, but she will never believe these nonsense, the child in her stomach is so cute, she also thinks it is a girl just like Xiaobao.
Baby, after you come out, mother will definitely love you like your big brother. If you love you, you have to be strong, and you must not lose your temper at this time, you know?
Mu Jinxi said silently in her heart.
"I'll have someone go to the school to check. If someone really tricked Xiaobao to play in the snow and climb up the high platform, then they will definitely find out. There must be something wrong with this child. I don't know if he was used by others. It’s just someone who took advantage of it.” Jue Lin thought for a while and said.
According to what Dongyang said, he can follow this clue to investigate. Anyway, there are only those children in the school, who ask one by one, and he doesn't believe that they can't ask anything!
If you let him know who is plotting against his wife and children behind his back, no matter who it is, he will never let it go!
"Dongyang, get up, this matter has nothing to do with you, even if you stay by Xiaobao's side, those who want to harm Xiaobao will still find a chance, you can't guard against it." Mu Jinxi sighed softly and said to Dongyang Said.
It's just that she blamed Dongyang even more when she said that.
"No, little princess, it's all Dongyang's fault. Dongyang's duty is to take care of and protect Xiaobao. But now that Xiaobao is injured, Dongyang is unscathed. It really shouldn't be. Please punish me, little princess!" Dongyang knelt on the ground stubbornly. , lips pursed into a straight line.
Mu Jinxi raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you mean that you can guard against other people's schemes? Or is it because Xiaobao was injured that you have to suffer the same injury to be worthy of Xiaobao? Since you feel that you If the protection is not effective, then you should urge yourself to become stronger in the days to come, instead of doing these useless things in time, what can I punish you to change? Now Xiaobao is still lying on the bed, you should guard Even if he wants to be punished, he has to wait until Xiaobao recovers, do you understand what I mean?"
"Dongyang, be obedient, get up, Xiaoxi is right, you should focus on taking care of Xiaobao now, Xiaobao can't get out of bed now, he will definitely be bored when he wakes up, you might as well Go and see if there are any interesting and interesting things to collect, and show them to Xiaobao when he wakes up." Xiao Nianxun also persuaded.
As for Dongyang, they didn't actually treat him as a slave, they just wanted Xiaobao to have a playmate or friend by letting him stay by Xiaobao's side.They were very sad that something like this happened to Xiaobao, but it was not enough to blame a child. Speaking of which, Dongyang was not much older than Xiaobao. No matter how powerful he was, he was still just a child. What could he do?
If he wants to take responsibility, wouldn't their family members have to take on greater responsibilities?
Dongyang pursed his lips tightly, raised his eyes and saw that everyone didn't blame him, he was both moved and guilty, and then secretly vowed that he would become stronger in the future, protect Xiaobao for the rest of his life, and never let him He was so badly hurt!
"Thank you, little princess, Dongyang for your forgiveness. Dongyang will definitely work harder to make himself stronger and protect Xiaobao!" Dongyang seriously kowtowed to Mu Jinxi, and said solemnly, with an immature but mature face It is full of firmness.
Mu Jinxi nodded, "Okay, I'll wait and see."
Dongyang said he was the slave she bought back, but in fact, in her heart, he was similar to her younger brother, but there was no identity confirmation.She once mentioned to Dongyang that she would recognize him as her younger brother and asked him if he would like to, but Dongyang refused, saying that he was a slave for a day and a slave for life. He was bought to serve others, not to be served. Her nonsense made her dumbfounded.
Later, after thinking about it, I felt that since Dongyang didn’t want to, that’s fine. Anyway, it’s just a nominal status. He ate and lived with Xiaobao. Before he came to the capital, his treatment was actually the same as Xiaobao’s. The difference is almost the same, but Xiaobao's identity has changed since he came to the capital, and it is not easy for him to follow suit, so there is a gap.Dongyang is a good seedling, if cultivated well, he will become a talent in the future, which is also a good thing for Xiaobao. Xiaobao will inherit the Mu Palace in the future, how can there be no one around him who treats him sincerely?
I keep silent and don't speak
(End of this chapter)
Mu Jinxi's attitude was firm, her tone was unquestionable, and she spoke word by word, making it impossible for people to find an excuse to refuse.
"Let her go, I can't hide it at this time."
The voice behind Mu Jinxi made her turn around abruptly, and saw Jue Lin's chest heaving slightly, it could be seen that he rushed over after hearing the report from the guards in the mansion, he looked at her guiltily, without saying a word .
Mu Jinxi pursed her lips, in her heart she understood what they did, but at the same time, she wanted to blame him. Xiaobao is her son, so how could he not tell her what happened?She is their relative, and also Xiaobao's mother!Can't they understand their feelings?
Jue Lin walked over, took her hand lightly and said in a low voice: "I'm just worried that you will get emotional if you know that Xiao Bao is injured, and you will get angry. You are more than eight months old now, so don't be careless." , That's why I didn't tell you, I wanted to find a suitable opportunity to tell you when Xiaobao got better, I didn't expect..." He sighed softly, but she didn't expect to be noticed by her in the end, "I'm sorry, I I didn't mean to hide it from you on purpose..."
He knew that she would not be easily deceived when she asked this question last night. What's more, there were indeed some loopholes in what he said last night. No wonder the more she listened, the more suspicious she became. Otherwise, he would not believe it Yes, no matter what, you won't leave your child somewhere else and never pick it up. Those words are just excuses.
Mu Jinxi shook her head, looked at him, then looked at the people in the hall, and said: "I know you are doing it for my own good, but now that I know it, and people are already here, I haven't seen you You won't be at ease with Xiaobao's words, do you think it will be better for me to be so worried?"
Juelin and the people from the Xiao Mansion looked at each other before saying, "Okay, I'll take you to see Xiaobao now, but you have to promise me that no matter what, you have to calm down and think about the child in your stomach, okay?" ?"
Mu Jinxi nodded solemnly.
Jue Lin led her to the front, followed by the people from the Xiao Mansion, all of them looked heavy, and no one spoke. This situation made Mu Jinxi more sure that Xiao Bao must have been seriously injured. Thinking of her Her heart couldn't help trembling, she couldn't even imagine how dangerous Xiaobao would be if he was seriously injured at such a young age, and she still didn't know where he was injured, he had been injured for several days, as a mother , I only realized now that Juelin and the others hid it from me, on the one hand, and on the other hand, I was careless and negligent.
Xiaobao is still placed in Xiao Xiao’s yard now, because he lived in Xiao Xiao’s yard before going to Prince Mu’s Mansion, and all his things are still there, so now he is still living in the previous room, but he was injured Now, whether it is the two brothers Xiao Xiao or others, they take turns to take care of him. Even at night, there are people guarding his room, just because they are afraid that he will feel uncomfortable in the middle of the night. Come.Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun were even more so.
Before entering the room, Mu Jinxi smelled a strong smell of medicine, and couldn't help but quicken her pace a lot, even letting Jue Lin hold her hand, and walked quickly into the inner room.
But when she walked into the inner room and saw the pale person lying under the quilt with a thick gauze wrapped around her head, her pupils shrank and she couldn't help shaking.
"Jin'er!"
Jue Lin quickly stepped forward to catch her shaking body, and said anxiously: "Don't worry, don't panic, calm down, calm down, Xiaobao is fine now, just fell asleep!"
Everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly gathered around and comforted her one by one, for fear that she would become agitated and her fetus would become gassy, which would hurt the baby in her stomach.
Mu Jinxi closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths before opening her eyes and said, "I, I'm fine, Jue Lin, help me over there to have a look."
A deep worry flashed in Jue Lin's eyes, but in the end he didn't say anything, and slowly walked over while supporting her waist.
Mu Jinxi took a closer look, her eyes turned red immediately, and she couldn't help but shed tears, because she saw that Xiaobao not only had a thick gauze wrapped around his head, but also had some scratches on his face, as if touched What kind of stones were scratched on it, some of them had scabs, and some were still red. It can be seen that the wound was not shallow, and there was a faint redness in the gauze on the head.It's been a few days, and the gauze is still oozing blood, which shows that his injury is worse than he imagined!
No wonder the imperial physician from the palace was invited!She knew that since the imperial doctor was invited, Xiaobao's injury must be serious, and it has been like this for a few days now, I can't imagine the severity of the injury that day!
When she thought that her son was injured a few days ago, and it was so serious, and she didn't know it at all, and she didn't accompany him to comfort him at this time, she felt very uncomfortable.Mu Jinxi stretched out her hand tremblingly and gently stroked Xiaobao's warm face, feeling both guilt and pain in her heart, ashamed that she, as a mother, hadn't been by his side when the child was hurt, the pain was because he was so young She had suffered such suffering, she couldn't imagine, what would she do if something happened to Xiaobao?
"How could Xiaobao get hurt? Didn't he follow Dongyang? And the hidden guard you sent? What are they doing for food?" Mu Jinxi asked angrily.
It's just that when she yelled, Xiaobao, who had been sleeping, opened his eyes, and in a daze, he saw someone sitting beside him. After blinking a few times, he realized that it was his mother. He immediately showed a happy smile, which made his pale face even more pitiful and distressing.
"Mother, is that you? Why did mother come here? Is it snowing outside? Is my brother still okay?" Xiaobao asked in a weak voice, he was concerned from the beginning, and he didn't show any distress at all. It seems that he is not injured now, but just lying on the bed casually.
Mu Jinxi stretched out her hand and gently stroked the small wound on Xiaobao's face, held back her tears and said with a choked voice: "Xiaobao, it was mother who came to see you, I'm sorry, mother didn't even know you were injured, these few days Heaven has not come to see you, does it hurt?"
Xiaobao smiled happily and shook his head lightly, "It doesn't hurt now, mother, it was Xiaobao who said not to tell mother, Xiaobao is worried about mother and sister."
Xiaobao insisted that his mother was carrying a younger sister, not a younger brother.
Xiao Bao's words immediately made everyone's eyes red, Xiao Nianxun and Mrs. Xiao even covered their faces and turned their heads, secretly wiping the tears from their eyes with a handkerchief.
"Mother and sister are fine, but you, you have become a little cat, you have to heal your wounds obediently, otherwise you will become ugly!" Mu Jinxi held back her distress and said with a tearful smile.
Xiaobao widened his eyes, and said nervously: "Mother, don't become an ugly monster, Xiaobao will heal up obediently, and he will be fine soon, mother, don't worry, Xiaobao will get better soon of!"
"Okay, mother believes that Xiaobao will be strong and will get better soon, mother will accompany Xiaobao every day in the future, and mother will also live in Xiaofu!" Mu Jinxi said her decision , and no one objected, and everyone knew that it was impossible for her to go back to Prince Mu's Mansion and leave Xiaobao here at this time, and Xiaobao is not suitable for moving now.
Xiaobao's eyes lit up, and he shifted his gaze to his father as if asking questions, as if asking him if it was real.
Jue Lin also came over, nodded and said with a smile, "Well, Daddy will also live here, and we will go back to Prince Mu's Mansion together after Xiaobao is well."
Little Bao grinned, his eyes gleamed brightly, "Okay, then Xiaobao can see mother every day, mother, you don't know, Xiaobao misses you, and misses his sister too." !” As he spoke, he was about to reach out to touch his sister.
Mu Jinxi hurriedly sat forward, grabbed his little hand and pressed it to her belly.
As soon as Xiao Bao put his hand on his belly, he felt a movement under his palm, as if something kicked him, Xiao Bao was stunned, then opened his eyes wide, and said in surprise: "Mother, sister! Moved, is she saying hello to Xiaobao? Is my sister also caring about Xiaobao? "
"Yeah, my sister knows that you are injured and is worried about you, so you have to take good care of your injury, otherwise my sister will also be worried, you know? And my sister will come out to meet you in more than a month, you If you want to play with your sister, then get well soon." Mu Jinxi said softly.
Xiaobao nodded vigorously and said: "Well, mother, Xiaobao will definitely be very serious and work hard to heal his wounds! Xiaobao will recover soon! Mother and sister don't worry."
After finishing speaking, he touched Mu Jinxi's stomach and said seriously: "Sister, brother will definitely get better soon, when you come out, brother will take you to play, brother has a very good Friends, if you have a friend, they will play with you too!"
Hearing Xiaobao's words, Mu Jinxi's eyes flashed and she asked, "Xiaobao, why did you fall from the high platform that day? Where is Dongyang? Didn't you follow?"
Speaking of this little treasure, he lowered his eyes as if he had done something wrong, looked at his mother timidly, pointed his little finger lightly, and said in a low voice after a long time: "Xiaobao wants to play in the snow, but Dongyang won't let her." Xiaobao played, so Xiaobao tricked Dongyang away..."
When Mu Jinxi heard it, she was really angry and funny, because Dongyang didn't let him play in the snow, so he tricked Dongyang away?If Dongyang was there, it wouldn't make him fall down. Dongyang is older than Xiaobao, and he has practiced martial arts very diligently in the past few years. Although he is young, his skills are not bad among his peers. If Bao really fell from the high platform, Dongyang will make Xiaobao safe and sound, no matter how bad he is, he will not be injured so badly.
It's just that Xiaobao was really playing alone on the high platform at that time?
"Xiaobao, do you still remember the situation at that time? If you do, tell your mother how you were at that time. You played alone on the high platform? Are there any other companions? Is there anyone nearby?" Mu Jinxi asked slowly, her voice was soft, and she didn't put any pressure on Xiao Bao.
Xiaobao blinked and thought for a while before saying: "No, Xiaobao was playing with his companions, we were playing throwing snowballs, and later, Xiaobao, Xiaobao seemed, as if... was hit by something I hit my foot, and then fell down and fell off the high platform..."
When the people around Xiaobao's bed heard this, their faces sank.
"Xiaobao, do you mean that someone smashed your foot, that's why you lost your balance and fell off the platform?" Mu Jinxi asked in a deep voice.
Xiaobao thought about it again but shook his head and said: "Mother, Xiaobao doesn't remember either, Xiaobao was having fun at that time, it seemed that he felt a pain in his calf, and then, just..." Xiaobao He wanted to think about the situation at that time again, but his head also hurt, which made him want to reach out and rub it, and he also cried out in pain.
Mu Jinxi's eyes flashed distressed and nervous, and she hurriedly said: "Xiaobao, it's okay, it's okay, mother already knows, you don't have to think about it, don't think about it, let's talk about it when you get better, okay?"
Hearing his mother said that there is no need to think about it, Xiaobao's spirit relaxed, and the pain in his head disappeared, but his face became paler, which made Mu Jinxi's heart ache, and tears almost flowed out uncontrollably .
Xiaobao has never been injured so seriously. Even when he was bullied in Xiushui Village before, the most serious thing was just being pinched and beaten a few times, but those were children with limited strength, no matter what, they were just flesh and blood It's just a serious injury, not like it is now, it's really hurt the bones, as well as the head.What an important organ the brain is, what if Xiaobao becomes a fool if it is injured?Isn't this life going to be ruined?
"Mother, Xiaobao is a little sleepy and wants to sleep for a while." Xiaobao said a little tiredly.
"It's my mother's fault, she came here to wake you up, go to sleep, my mother is here watching you."
Xiao Bao smiled sweetly before closing his eyes, and soon fell asleep.
Seeing that Xiaobao was asleep, Mu Jinxi gently lifted a corner of the quilt, exposing Xiaobao's legs in white trousers. She gently pulled up Xiaobao's trousers, and grabbed Xiaobao's legs with her warm hands. Little Treasure's legs flipped gently to see if there were any scars on his legs. Although it had been a few days, if what Little Treasure just said was true, there might be some marks on his legs.
After looking at the left leg, there were only some small, long scratches on it, and there were no other abnormal scars, which made her feel sore after seeing it. Then she looked at the right leg again, and finally found Xiaobao's right calf. A circular bruise was found on the inner side of the body, and the color had faded a lot, but a small bruise could still be clearly seen. Seeing this bruise, Mu Jinxi's eyes sank.
It seems that what Xiaobao said was true, something really hit his leg at that time, causing him to fall off the high platform helplessly!
Standing by the bed, Jue Lin also saw the bruise on his son's leg, his eyes narrowed, his hands clenched tightly, and he pursed his lips in silence.
Other people in the Xiao Mansion who were standing by the bed also saw it, needless to say everyone understood what this meant.
Mu Jinxi sat quietly by the bed and looked at Xiaobao's sleeping face for a while before she stood up and whispered to everyone, "Let's go out and talk, let the maid come in and keep watch."
Everyone nodded, knowing that she had something to say to everyone, and they also had something to say, because what Xiaobao said just now and what they saw.
Ever since Xiaobao was injured, their minds have been on Xiaobao's injury. They just simply asked the teacher in the school, and they listened to what the teacher said. Although they also had doubts in their hearts, they didn't expect it to be In this way, according to Xiaobao's words, it was not an accident that Xiaobao fell off the high platform at all, nor was it Xiaobao's own playfulness, but premeditated!Someone is trying to kill Xiaobao!
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but ignited raging anger in their hearts, wishing to immediately find out the person who hurt Xiaobao and tear him into pieces!Xiaobao is their darling, they love him so much that it's too late, they wish to give him the best things in the world, but now he has suffered such a big injury, lying on the bed weakly and unable to move, it's all because of someone else Harmful?How can they not be angry?
After leaving Xiaobao's room and everyone returned to the front hall, Xiao Xiao said guiltily: "Xiaoxi, I was careless about this matter, I didn't ask the people in the school well that day, and almost let Xiaobao suffer in vain. This time it's hard."
Mu Jinxi shook her head and said, "How can you blame you? At that time, you knew that Xiaobao was injured, so you put all your thoughts on his injury, right? Why would you think of anything else? It's not too late to know now. Xiaobao just now You have all heard the words, if it is an accident, I will not believe it."
"We don't believe it either! We all saw it just now. There is still a faint bruise on Xiaobao's leg. It hasn't faded after a few days. It can be seen that something hit his leg at that time and made him The person who fell off the high platform, the scar has not faded up to now, which shows how strong the force is! The person behind it is clearly intentional, maybe they just want to—" Xiao Xiao said angrily, his eyes turned red with anger, He couldn't utter the second half of the sentence, that person clearly wanted Xiaobao to die!
"Our Xiaobao is young, who did he offend? Let that person be so cruel and want to kill Xiaobao, what a vicious heart!" Feel distressed.
"Investigate! We must find out! You are too deceitful!" Mrs. Xiao was also so angry that his old face was red and black, and his whole body was trembling.He never thought that what he thought was an accident turned out to be a conspiracy!Or is it a conspiracy against one's great-grandson? It really should be hacked into pieces, and if anything happens, it will be directed at their adults. What does it mean to have a knife on a child?Such despicable and shameless, really hateful!
"Yes, we must find out, no matter who is behind it, they will have to pay the price for this incident!" Xiao Jingyan said in a deep voice with a tense face.
"Grandfather, uncle, you don't need to intervene in this matter, I will handle it myself." Mu Jinxi said lightly.
Xiao Jingyan frowned: "Xiaoxi, we are a family, and Xiaobao is also our baby bump."
"Uncle, don't be in a hurry, I have my own considerations, and I'll wait until I find out about this matter first. That person dared to do such a cruel thing to Xiaobao in the school, and he knew Xiaobao's identity but didn't have the slightest scruples, but One can imagine that the other party is either a person of the same noble status, or..." Mu Jinxi paused.
"Xiao Xi, do you think the person behind the scenes is after you or Jue Lin?" Xiao Yujun frowned, "Could it be the person who framed Xiao Hua last time? We haven't investigated the person who framed Xiao Hua until now." Any useful news, will it be that person?"
Mu Jinxi and Jue Lin's expressions froze, but soon returned to normal. Everyone's attention was on Xiaobao's matter, so no one really noticed their expressions for a while, otherwise they would definitely find something of.
Mu Jinxi thought for a while, shaking her head uncertainly, and said, "This, probably not."
"Why do you think not? Do you know who framed Xiao Hua?" Xiao Xiao asked strangely.
"How would I know? Didn't you find something?" Mu Jinxi said without changing expression.
It's not that she wants to defend the old lady Su, but that she doesn't know what will happen if she tells the old lady Su that the person who framed her eldest brother is the old lady Su. It would not do them any good to confront her directly.
The old lady Su is not only the old lady of the Su family, but also the emperor's grandmother!Because of the former empress's relationship, although the emperor can't say how close or respectful he is to this grandmother, he still has the respect he deserves. If they don't have any evidence to prove that the elder brother's work was done by the old lady Su, they will rashly treat the old lady Su only It will become the passive party, and maybe the old lady Su will beat her up.
Uncle is the prime minister, if there is a estrangement with the emperor because of this incident, it will not be worth the loss, and she is not in a hurry to avenge her eldest brother, she believes that there will be a chance!
And this time, she thinks that the old lady Su should not have done it. Xiaobao is her son, yes, but he is also the young son of Prince Mu's mansion. Shall the prince start?The old lady Su faced the old concubine of Shangmu Palace, even if she was the emperor's grandmother, she would definitely not get any benefits if she did such a thing.
So after some analysis, she felt that it wasn't the old lady Su, she shouldn't be so stupid.
What Mu Jinxi was thinking was exactly what Jue Lin was thinking, but if it wasn't done by her grandmother, it would be troublesome. It meant that there were still people in the capital staring at them from the dark, and they didn't even know that at all. Know!They wouldn't be afraid if people in the dark attacked them, but they shot Xiaobao, a child!
Thinking of this, Jue Lin couldn't help but feel a little worried. If the people in the dark wanted to attack the heirs of Prince Mu's mansion, wouldn't Xiaobao always be in danger?There is also the child in Jin'er's belly, she will give birth soon, and the child she gives birth to is also a very weak person, in case someone wants to tamper with the newborn child...
Jue Lin secretly decided that after returning to the mansion, he would secretly investigate the servants in the mansion, and expel anyone who was suspicious!The people who serve in Jinglan Garden have to be checked carefully, and the people who are served by Jin'er are also people who can be absolutely trusted!
Xiao Xiao stared at Mu Jinxi suspiciously for a while.Mu Jinxi looked calm, "Why are you staring at me? It's not like you don't know that I have a lot of things to do in the past six months, and I am pregnant. How can I have so much energy to take care of so many things? Besides, framed brother People are hiding so deep, and there are no usable clues, it is not an easy task to find out."
Mu Jinhua hurriedly said: "Xiaoxi, this matter is not in a hurry, you should take care of your body first, and investigate the person who framed elder brother slowly, anyway, it has been so long now, so there is no rush .”
"Yes, Xiaoxi, you should take care of yourself and the baby in your stomach first."
Others also echoed.
"Then you don't want to interfere with Xiaobao's affairs. Jue Lin and I will take care of it. Xiaobao is the young son of Mu Wangfu. If such a big incident happened, it is impossible for Mu Wangfu to act as if nothing happened."
Jue Lin also nodded and said, "Well, I'll send someone to the school later to find out what's going on."
"By the way, what about Dongyang, call Dongyang over, I have something to ask him." Mu Jinxi thought of Dongyang.
Soon Dongyang was called in, because of Xiaobao's injury, Dongyang also suffered a lot, because he blamed himself very much and felt that he did not protect Xiaobao well, so he was injured.
As soon as he came in, without saying a word, he knelt down heavily towards Mu Jinxi, his body straightened up, "Little Princess, I'm sorry, it's all Dongyang's fault. Dongyang didn't take good care of Xiaobao and caused him to get hurt. Please, Little Princess." Punishment!"
Mu Jinxi looked at Dongyang lightly, seeing the strong guilt and self-blame in his eyes, as well as the haggard look on his face, and asked: "Then tell me why you didn't take good care of Xiaobao?" Is it? Why didn't you follow Xiaobao and let him climb to the high platform to play alone?"
Dongyang choked, pursed his lips and said, "Dongyang shouldn't have left Xiaobao and left alone." But he didn't say why he didn't follow Xiaobao.
It was true that Xiaobao dismissed him at the time, but he felt that even so, it could not be an excuse for not protecting Xiaobao. The little princess cultivated him so wholeheartedly that he hoped that he would be able to protect him by Xiaobao's side, but he But he didn't do it, he failed the little princess' expectations of him, this is a fact!
"Dongyang, tell me what happened that day carefully, without missing a single thing, and then I will decide whether to punish you or not."
Dongyang didn't dare to hesitate, and carefully told the events of that day. From the time they set off from Prince Mu's Mansion to the school, what they did in the school, who they met, and even what they said, Dongyang said out.
"You are saying that you asked Xiao Bao to send a box of snacks to the school's restaurant to pick up snacks, but when the restaurant was about to leave, someone stopped him. Please help deliver a box of snacks to the school principal. You disagree, That person insisted on pestering you to give it to you, but after you sent it, you were told by the dean that no one had ever given him any snacks?" Mu Jinxi quickly found something suspicious in Dongyang's words.
Dongyang nodded firmly.
Jue Lin also frowned, and said: "It seems that the person Dongyang met should deliberately want to delay Dongyang's return, and then attack Xiaobao at the same time."
Dongyang also figured it out later in retrospect, so he blamed himself even more, thinking that Xiaobao was injured entirely because of his own negligence. If he rushed back to Xiao Bao's side instead of going to the dean, then such a thing would never have happened!
"It seems that it was indeed premeditated, but why did you choose that day? Xiaobao has been in school for a while, and he goes to class on time every day. Why didn't he do it when there are so many opportunities?" Xiao Xiao felt puzzled.
Mu Jinxi's eyes were cold, she twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "If I'm right, that person wants to kill two birds with one stone. Because the snow fell heavily that day, and it also snowed two days ago, and the snow has been accumulating It turned into thick ice, and the weather was very cold. If Xiaobao fell from the high platform, he would be seriously injured. Just imagine, if Xiaobao's head hit the ice, what would happen? The weather is cold, and we are in the school, even if we call a doctor in time, it may not be able to save anything."
"Furthermore, I am a month old, and I will give birth in more than a month. If I hear the news that Xiaobao has an accident at this time, how will I react? If I get emotional and give birth prematurely, I will be unlucky." It might be one dead body and two lives! If Xiaobao falls as the person wishes, it will be three lives! Think about it, if this is the case, no matter what kind of blow it will be to the Xiao Mansion or the Mu Palace Do you want to talk more?"
Mu Jinxi's words made everyone break out in cold sweat, and couldn't help trembling.
The person behind it is so vicious!He actually wanted to kill two birds with one stone—no, if something happened to Xiaobao, something would happen to Xiaoxi and the child in her stomach, and if something happened to them, the Xiao Mansion and Prince Mu's Mansion would never be peaceful!Killing many birds with one stone!What kind of person would come up with such vicious thoughts to harm them?Is the person targeted Xiao Xi or Jue Lin, or Mu Wangfu and Xiao Fu?
For a moment, everyone was amazed by Mu Jinxi's words. They couldn't figure out who came up with such a sinister scheme. Their family's behavior and way of doing things have always been like this. If they want to offend someone, they would have offended them long ago. They won't get it now, so who is watching them from behind, ready to make a move at any time?
Mu Jinxi herself can't figure out who did such a thing. Although she may be a big fan in the capital, if she is an enemy in business, she feels that no one in the capital would dare to confront her so directly. Bar?The backers behind her are Prince Mu's Mansion and Xiao Mansion. One is a prince of the opposite sex who has won the emperor's favor, and the other is the current prime minister of Da Chu. Who dares to offend these two people?
Or was it done by Jue Lin or his uncle's political opponents in the court?
Mu Jinxi thought for a while before asking hesitantly: "Uncle, you, have you had any trouble with anyone recently?"
Xiao Jingyan was startled, thought for a while but shook his head and said: "Probably not, my uncle has always acted like this, if he wanted to offend people, he wouldn't just offend now, and during this time, uncle has never done anything in the court that would offend anyone. about..."
"Xiaoxi, do you suspect that father's political opponent may have done it?" Xiao Yu asked.
Mu Jinxi nodded and said: "I thought about it, the possibility of coming for me should not be very high, the most likely thing is for uncle and Jue Lin, or did you offend some serious person? "
The you Mu Jinxi refers to Xiao Yu's two brothers and her elder brother.
The three shook their heads in unison.They were pretty good, they didn't offend anyone, and they didn't even quarrel with anyone. If it was them, it would be even more impossible for them to reach out to Xiaobao, or even want to kill two birds with one stone, killing Xiaoxi and the child in her stomach.
According to Xiao Xi's analysis, it is most likely that it is aimed at Jue Lin!
The three looked at Jue Lin with burning eyes.
Jue Lin raised his eyebrows: "You suspect that they are coming after me?"
Everyone nodded.
Jue Lin lowered his eyes and thought for a while and said, "I haven't done anything, but I'm not sure if I offended anyone. After all, after the emperor ordered me to be a chief minister, I did some things that may have hurt some people." human interests."
But for this benefit to kill his son?Does anyone really dare to do this?Jue Lin was not sure either.
Mu Jinxi turned her gaze, looked at Dongyang and asked again: "The weather was so cold that day, how could Xiaobao want to play in the snow on the high platform? How could he suddenly want to eat snacks? I remember that I had someone prepare it before going out. The food is in the food box, why do you need to go to the restaurant to pick it up?" This is also one of the doubts.
Dongyang thought for a while and said: "At first, Xiaobao just wanted to go out to play in the snow. It seems that someone suggested to go to the snowball fight first. At first, Xiaobao still remembered what the little princess told him, but everyone else called to play together. In the end, Xiaobao agreed, and Xiaobao hadn't climbed to the high platform before Dongyang left."
Dongyang's words made Mu Jinxi more sure that the matter was premeditated, and the premeditated time was not short. The people behind must have waited for a long time before they finally got the right opportunity. Seeing his bloody appearance, he will definitely have fetal gas, and may even give birth prematurely... Jue Lin and his uncle are not wrong in their consideration, they are right to hide it from themselves, although this has wronged Xiaobao, he was injured But mother is not by his side. Fortunately, there are so many relatives by his side.
Mu Jinxi had mixed feelings in her heart, touched her belly, and felt that the child in her belly was hardworking. There have been a lot of things since the big wedding, and they are all bad things. If it was in an ordinary family, it would probably be disgusted by others It's a catastrophe or something, but she will never believe these nonsense, the child in her stomach is so cute, she also thinks it is a girl just like Xiaobao.
Baby, after you come out, mother will definitely love you like your big brother. If you love you, you have to be strong, and you must not lose your temper at this time, you know?
Mu Jinxi said silently in her heart.
"I'll have someone go to the school to check. If someone really tricked Xiaobao to play in the snow and climb up the high platform, then they will definitely find out. There must be something wrong with this child. I don't know if he was used by others. It’s just someone who took advantage of it.” Jue Lin thought for a while and said.
According to what Dongyang said, he can follow this clue to investigate. Anyway, there are only those children in the school, who ask one by one, and he doesn't believe that they can't ask anything!
If you let him know who is plotting against his wife and children behind his back, no matter who it is, he will never let it go!
"Dongyang, get up, this matter has nothing to do with you, even if you stay by Xiaobao's side, those who want to harm Xiaobao will still find a chance, you can't guard against it." Mu Jinxi sighed softly and said to Dongyang Said.
It's just that she blamed Dongyang even more when she said that.
"No, little princess, it's all Dongyang's fault. Dongyang's duty is to take care of and protect Xiaobao. But now that Xiaobao is injured, Dongyang is unscathed. It really shouldn't be. Please punish me, little princess!" Dongyang knelt on the ground stubbornly. , lips pursed into a straight line.
Mu Jinxi raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you mean that you can guard against other people's schemes? Or is it because Xiaobao was injured that you have to suffer the same injury to be worthy of Xiaobao? Since you feel that you If the protection is not effective, then you should urge yourself to become stronger in the days to come, instead of doing these useless things in time, what can I punish you to change? Now Xiaobao is still lying on the bed, you should guard Even if he wants to be punished, he has to wait until Xiaobao recovers, do you understand what I mean?"
"Dongyang, be obedient, get up, Xiaoxi is right, you should focus on taking care of Xiaobao now, Xiaobao can't get out of bed now, he will definitely be bored when he wakes up, you might as well Go and see if there are any interesting and interesting things to collect, and show them to Xiaobao when he wakes up." Xiao Nianxun also persuaded.
As for Dongyang, they didn't actually treat him as a slave, they just wanted Xiaobao to have a playmate or friend by letting him stay by Xiaobao's side.They were very sad that something like this happened to Xiaobao, but it was not enough to blame a child. Speaking of which, Dongyang was not much older than Xiaobao. No matter how powerful he was, he was still just a child. What could he do?
If he wants to take responsibility, wouldn't their family members have to take on greater responsibilities?
Dongyang pursed his lips tightly, raised his eyes and saw that everyone didn't blame him, he was both moved and guilty, and then secretly vowed that he would become stronger in the future, protect Xiaobao for the rest of his life, and never let him He was so badly hurt!
"Thank you, little princess, Dongyang for your forgiveness. Dongyang will definitely work harder to make himself stronger and protect Xiaobao!" Dongyang seriously kowtowed to Mu Jinxi, and said solemnly, with an immature but mature face It is full of firmness.
Mu Jinxi nodded, "Okay, I'll wait and see."
Dongyang said he was the slave she bought back, but in fact, in her heart, he was similar to her younger brother, but there was no identity confirmation.She once mentioned to Dongyang that she would recognize him as her younger brother and asked him if he would like to, but Dongyang refused, saying that he was a slave for a day and a slave for life. He was bought to serve others, not to be served. Her nonsense made her dumbfounded.
Later, after thinking about it, I felt that since Dongyang didn’t want to, that’s fine. Anyway, it’s just a nominal status. He ate and lived with Xiaobao. Before he came to the capital, his treatment was actually the same as Xiaobao’s. The difference is almost the same, but Xiaobao's identity has changed since he came to the capital, and it is not easy for him to follow suit, so there is a gap.Dongyang is a good seedling, if cultivated well, he will become a talent in the future, which is also a good thing for Xiaobao. Xiaobao will inherit the Mu Palace in the future, how can there be no one around him who treats him sincerely?
