Ace's favorite concubine: Xiangmen's concubine

Chapter 397 The Death of Xia Yuanxi (4)

After finishing speaking, she quickly walked out of Qingning Palace, and followed Mu Lian far away to the palace.

When Mu Lian arrived at the palace, the gate of the palace was opened, and many people rushed into the palace ahead of her.

She followed the flow of people in, only to realize that these people were all going to the backyard. When they got to the backyard, there was already a sea of ​​people, and it was impossible to squeeze in.

Looking at the situation, Xia Yuanxi might be set on fire, Mu Lian was very anxious, pulled a guard over and asked, "I came to look for the prince by the order of the side princess, where is the prince? Is he in the backyard?"

The guard was originally the guard of the outer courtyard. Seeing Mu Lian's strange eyes, he was hesitating whether to tell her where Ning Yuyao was. Seeing Zhuo Yuan approaching, he said as if he had been pardoned, "Master Zhuo, this girl said that there is something wrong with the princess." Take the word to the prince."

Zhuo Yuan saw that it was Mu Lian, stepped forward and asked, "Miss Mu Lian, the prince has entered the palace and is not in the mansion, what does the princess need to ask the prince?"

Ning Yuyao was indeed not in the mansion at this time, because the burning of Xia Yuanxi had aroused too much public opinion in Yujing, many ministers handed him a booklet early in the morning, and the emperor called him into the palace immediately.

Mu Lian became even more anxious when she heard the words, and hurriedly asked, "When will the lord come back? The Princess has something important to do with the lord, which is about Xia Yuanxi, so we really can't delay! By the way, when will the lord decide to burn Xia Yuanxi?"

"My lord, tell me when I leave, and light the fire after noon."

Mu Lian immediately exclaimed, "Then the prince has not come back, so he is about to burn it! No, it can't be burned!"

Looking at Mulian who reacted tremendously, Zhuo Yuan asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"

Mu Lian's heart skipped a beat, she gritted her teeth for a moment and said, "The Princess said, Xia Yuanxi cannot be burned!"

Just as Zhuo Yuan was about to ask why, a person suddenly came out from the dark place and said coldly, "Mulian, you really lied!"

"Yixun?" Mulian turned around to see who was coming, a trace of panic flashed across her face, how could Yixun come!She will definitely expose her, what should I do?
Zhuo Yuan was also surprised that the atmosphere was not right, and asked suspiciously, "Why are you all here? What did the concubine side order?"

Yi Xun didn't answer Zhuo Yuan, but pointed at Mu Lian and said angrily, "Mulian, the princess was right, tell me, who sent you to the princess' side to monitor the princess!"

Mu Lian's face turned pale, she gritted her teeth and said in denial, "I don't understand what you said, the princess asked the prince not to burn Xia Yuanxi's body, I'm just helping the princess spread the word!"

"You're still lying! The princess clearly asked you to tell the prince that she supports him in doing this!"

Yi Xun suddenly became angry, and couldn't help but took a step beside Zhuo Yuan, and said eagerly, "Lord Zhuo, the princess ordered that if Mu Lian didn't pass on her orders, you should take her down! Mu Lian is a spy, she People who are not princesses!"

Mu Lian also looked at Zhuo Yuan and stood next to her, almost jumping her feet and said, "You are talking nonsense, you are the one with ulterior motives!"

The two immediately quarreled, and they were both the concubine's personal maids, Zhuo Yuan couldn't distinguish who was telling the truth and who was lying.

He rubbed his forehead, thought for a moment, made a bold decision, and said to the guard beside him, "Come on, put them aside first, and let someone go to the backyard to inform immediately that Xia Yuanxi will not be burned for the time being. Everything will wait for the prince to come back." Decide later!"

"There's no need to go to the backyard to spread the word, burn Xia Yuanxi immediately, put Yi Xun back, and put Mu Lian in the dungeon and lock her up!"
