Daughter Shenghua

Chapter 202 Finding Clues

On that night, the prince still couldn't survive after all.

"Dong dong!" The sound of the death knell ringing in the palace floated over the entire capital.

Added another touch of sadness to this crumbling city.

The sound that should have been full of endless sadness now has different pictures in the ears of different people.

The queen stood quietly beside the prince's coffin and didn't know what she was thinking.At this moment, she didn't shed tears, maybe the tears were dry, maybe she was angry...

When the old prince in Prince Xuan's mansion heard the sound of the death knell, the teacup in his hand shook violently, and after a while he said leisurely: "This day has finally come!"

The performance of each minister's mansion is different.People like Wang Zizhen stayed up all night. 1
But Xiao Mujin was ecstatic when he heard the sound of the death knell, and he didn't hide his joy, and immediately went out to the Duke Protector's Mansion.

But he forgot that Marquis Jingbian had already ordered a curfew, and no one was allowed to go out at night.

No one dared to stop Xiao Mujin's status as the prince, but his actions fell into everyone's eyes.

You can imagine Yun Qianfeng's ugly face when he saw Xiao Mujin.

"Why are you here at this hour!" Yun Qianfeng said angrily.

Xiao Mujin was overjoyed, and said excitedly: "Grandfather, did you hear that! The crown prince is dead, he is finally dead! Our long-cherished wish for so many years is about to come true!"

"Shut up!" Yun Qianfeng's roar interrupted his fantasy.

"Grandfather, what's the matter?" Xiao Mujin was stunned, a little confused.

"Stupid! How can you be so restless! If people know that you can't wait to contact the ministers as soon as the prince dies, what will everyone think of you! Your brother died suddenly in his prime, and you, as a younger brother, don't want to share the worries of your father at this time. , instead of helping to deal with the funeral, but came to me so eagerly! How do you let the courtiers think of you, how do you think of my Duke Huguo! Haven't you become that ruthless and ungrateful person!"

"If such a ruthless and unrighteous person can ascend to the supreme position, how can you convince the people of the world! What you did today is really wrong! Jin'er, how can you sit in that position like this!"

At this moment, Xiao Mujin felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her head, and her whole body was completely chilled.Tremblingly said: "Then, what should I do?"

Yun Qianfeng thought for a while before asking, "Did you see it when you came out?"

Xiao Muyun was stunned for a moment and said in embarrassment: "I came over directly when I heard the bell, but I didn't pay attention!"

"You! You! Alas!" Yun Qian was so angry that she couldn't say a word while pointing at Xiao Mujin.

Xiao Mujin also knew that she had caused trouble, so she lowered her head and dared not speak for a long time.

After a long time, Yun Qianfeng seemed to have calmed down a bit before shouting to the door: "Has Yun Tian returned home?"

A person came in from outside the door and hurriedly said: "I don't know yet, it should be on the way back!"

The anger that Yun Qianfeng had just left rose again, "I don't know what it means? No one even knows his whereabouts?"

The man glanced at Xiao Mujin, saw that Yun Qianfeng didn't say much, and then said: "All the people we sent have been sent back."

Yun Qianfeng's eyebrows twitched, he understood the meaning of these words.He knew exactly what the people he sent were doing, and Yuntian knew it all the time. This was always a tacit thing, but now Yuntian broke this balance.

Yun Qianfeng panicked at the thought of this.He is very clear about Yun Tian's ability. If he hadn't been supporting him all these years, the power behind the Yun family would not have been so strong.He knew best how many benefits those people had taken from the two Emperors Jing over the years, all of which had been given to the Yun family.

Now, as long as Xue Qing and other rebellious parties are dealt with, the Yun family can win half of Dajing without any effort. At this critical moment, he cannot lose Yuntian's support.

"Hurry up and send someone to investigate!" Yun Qianfeng really panicked.

Seeing this, Xiao Mujin suddenly remembered the chat with Su Xiangqing that night, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.After thinking about it, he pretended not to care and said, "Didn't he want to control the situation in Beijing? Why do you have time to go out at this time?"

Yun Qianfeng's eyes flickered slightly, and he hurriedly said, "He has something to deal with."

Xiao Mujin's heart skipped a beat, it seemed that they still had something to hide from her.

Thinking of what Yun Qianfeng had said to him when he first entered the door.It is clear that every sentence is concerned about himself, but he is really not blaming himself for dragging the Duke Protector's Mansion into the water.

Then he said, "Grandfather, what do you think I should do now?"

Yun Qianfeng thought for a while and said: "I will prepare some gifts for you in a while, and you will go to the palace to meet the Queen's Empress immediately after you bring the gifts, and say that the Duke Protector's Mansion is worried about the Empress's health after hearing the death knell, so I specially asked you to represent it on your behalf." Forward."

Have to say it's a pretty good approach to the current situation.But once people have doubts, no matter what kind of things, they will interpret another meaning.The way he thought for himself was to get the Duke Protector out, and he didn't think about his own situation at all.

Xiao Mujin's face sank without any concealment.It's a pity that Yun Qianfeng didn't notice at all at this time, all his thoughts were still on what the guard said about Yuntian.

After Xiao Muyun left the conference hall, he originally wanted to leave the mansion.But he suddenly remembered Su Xiangqing's words, and his steps stopped.Turning around and looking in the direction of the backyard, he gritted his teeth and raised his legs to go there.

Maybe it was negligence, maybe it was because Xiao Mujin didn't expect Xiao Mujin to go to the backyard, but he was not stopped along the way, allowing him to enter the backyard directly.

This step made Xiao Mujin stunned.

Now it's late autumn, but the back garden of Duke Huguo's mansion is still full of flowers blooming.Even the imperial garden in the palace is not as good as this place.And my mother never mentioned it even when she knew she was dead.

Although he can't name all the flowers in the garden, he still has some memories of some of them.

And these precious flowers in his eyes were all placed in an inconspicuous corner of the garden.How could this not make him speechless.

A five-color peony in the garden attracted his attention.When this five-color peony appeared in the capital, it immediately caused a sensation in the city.

All the dignitaries rushed to bid for it, trying to get it in their pockets.

He remembered that in the end it seemed that an unknown wealthy businessman bought it for 10 taels of silver.At that time, everyone was investigating the identity of that person, but no one found out in the end. Unexpectedly, they saw this flower in Duke Huguo's mansion today.

One can imagine the impact this had on Xiao Mujin.He never knew that the Duke Protector's Mansion was so rich.

He walked into the garden slowly, and his heart was beating fast when he saw it with his eyesight.

Under intentional avoidance, Xiao Mujin didn't meet anyone along the way.This was the first time he came here, and he couldn't find the direction for a while, so he walked along the depths of the garden, and walked into a small path without knowing it.

The sound of reading can be heard from afar.

"Chen'er, why do you think you are king?" A male voice came out.

"The king, the ruler!" Another young voice came out.

"That's right. Chen'er, you have been studying with me for more than ten years. Now there is nothing to teach you. My Ming family has produced three emperor masters. I hope you can make me the fourth!"

"Chen'er will live up to Mr.'s expectations!"

Xiao Mujin's eyes widened instantly, the meaning in these words was too obvious.It turned out that the Yun family just regarded themselves as pawns from beginning to end, and this one was the candidate in their hearts.Feeling strongly unwilling, Xiao Muyun wanted to see what kind of person this person was inside.

But right here, the hurried footsteps of a group of people came.

Xiao Mujin quickly hid behind the rockery.
