Splendid concubine

Chapter 118 Secret
However, Mrs. Zhao obviously overestimated the third son of Zhao. The third son of Zhao shrank under the wall, like a quail, trembling and afraid to make a sound.

Mrs. Zhao didn't dare to speak again after realizing it.

Just now, Liu Ruyi unintentionally released her aura, which really suppressed them so much that they dared not speak.

Instruct the servant girl to go over and push the old woman away, Fuling has already gone there first, and brought Ji Yanhui over like a chicken.

Ji Yanhui hugged Liu Ruyi's thigh, her face was full of tears, she cried in a mess.

"Let go." Liu Ruyi gritted her teeth.

This woman also caused Mu Zitan to fall into the water just now, did she forget?

Ji Yanhui shivered in fright, and immediately let go of Mu Zitan.

"Come in." After Liu Ruyi ordered, she stopped looking at Mrs. Zhao, turned around and entered the room.

As soon as Ji Yanhui, who followed in, entered the room, she saw Mu Zitan wrapped in a quilt and sitting on the bed, leaning on the window to watch the excitement, he was relieved that the princess was fine, and her crime could be less serious.

As soon as his eyes rolled, Ji Yanhui rushed over, scaring Mu Zitan into a fright, Ji Yanhui was already holding Mu Zitan's thigh and crying: "Princess, I didn't mean it, I was just fascinated by ghosts for a while, so I pushed you away." The princess entered the water, since the princess..."

Before she finished crying, Liu Ruyi already had a serious face, came over and squeezed the clothes on Ji Yanhui's back, dragged her away from Mu Zitan, and mocked: "Since the princess is fine, you are exempt from punishment? It’s a good idea, it’s true that the princess fell into the water. If it wasn’t for the rescue in time, something might happen to the princess? Now you can watch the fun while watching the lively ones. Who knows that the water in the fish pond is so dirty, will something happen what is the problem."

Having said that, Mu Zitan remembered that after Liu Ruyi rescued her, she had been busy with her affairs, and she was still wearing dirty clothes that had been soaked in water. She hurriedly ordered people to wash and bathe Liu Ruyi. What Liu Ruyi did to Mu Zitan, Mu Zitan did to Liu Ruyi in turn.

Seeing Mu Zitan surrounded her and inquiring about her health, Liu Ruyi was a little touched. Although she was slow, she was still considerate.

Finished work, nearly an hour has passed, Liu Ruyi sat on a carved smoked cage with wet hair, wearing only a moon white coat, Ji Yanhui hurried over, wanting to say something, but Liu Ruyi asked her With his eyes forced back, he sat on the ground awkwardly and stopped talking.

"Tell me, what kind of grievances do you have with Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Xiaogui?" Liu Ruyi asked with interest.

Mu Zitan, who was joining in the fun, was fiddling with Liu Ruyi's hair, took the comb from the little palace maid, and tried to give Liu Ruyi a different hairstyle, while looking at Ji Yanhui, with sparkling eyes, waiting to hear the story.

Although I feel that Mu Zitan's attitude of listening to the story is a bit problematic, after all, Mu Zitan has never been in contact with these dark things, so Liu Ruyi just went with her and didn't say anything. not late.

Poor Ji Yanhui thought that it was true as the rumors said, the little princess and princess are kind people who specialize in fighting injustices, and she was so moved, thinking that her family's wronged case would finally be cleared, she was so excited that tears filled her eyes.

"Princess, Princess, you are really good people." Ji Yanhui sobbed, wiping away tears.

Impatiently glanced at Ji Yanhui, Liu Ruyi scolded: "Speak quickly, don't dawdle."

"Yes, yes." Ji Yanhui replied quickly, thinking that she had spied on the duplicity of the princess.

I think the character of the princess is really unexpectedly cute.

He quickly changed his posture and sat up straight, "My father and Ji Xiaogui are siblings, real siblings." Ji Yanhui emphasized.

Sure enough, at the very beginning, Mu Zitan caught Mu Zitan's attention, and his eyes became brighter.

They stopped their hands, concentrated on finding a chair to nest comfortably in it, and asked someone to bring a plate of small snacks with hot tea, as if waiting to listen to the play, Liu Ruyi almost couldn't help laughing .

"When Ji Xiaogui married into the Zhao family, our family was still in decline. At that time, I was still young and didn't know much. In order to please the Zhao family, Ji Xiaogui went home to ask for a family heirloom when my grandfather passed away. My father refused. Here, my father was framed, my family was imprisoned, and my mother and sister are suffering in the teaching workshop." Ji Yanhui's story was not very long, and it was finished in a few words.

It's no different from what she said outside.

Mu Zitan was very disappointed. He thought he would hear a very interesting story, but ended up talking in a few words?She hasn't finished eating a piece of pastry yet.

"Since you only know so much, I will send someone to investigate the rest." Liu Ruyi said, and gave Fu Ling a gesture, and Fu Ling went out immediately, obviously sending someone to investigate.

"Next, let's talk about how you pushed the red sandalwood into the water." Liu Ruyi sat in a more comfortable position and looked at Ji Yanhui seriously.

Ji Yanhui's face was ashen, why didn't she let go of this question?
Yes, just not letting go of this question, Mu Zitan picked up the half-eaten snack and sat down again.

Seeing that Ji Yanhui still wanted to plead for mercy, Mu Zitan immediately opened his mouth and said to Liu Ruyi: "Ruyi, I fell into the water at that time, and in the water, I gradually sank. The more I struggled, the faster I sank. I was extremely desperate. I was vaguely thinking that my father, queen, mother and concubine who I just recognized, and you are about to say goodbye forever."

"The water is freezing cold, I feel my whole body is stiff, my limbs are gradually numb, my brain is completely frozen, there is a tingling feeling on my face, I can't breathe more and more, and the lake water has a bitter taste , not tasty."

With his lips pursed, Mu Zitan became more and more uncomfortable as he spoke, and was about to cry.

This little girl was obviously afraid that Ji Yanhui would be punished lightly.

"Tell me, why do you have to forgive you?" Seeing Ji Yanhui's intentions, Liu Ruyi said casually.

Ji Yanhui was overjoyed, and quickly said: "Because the princess is pure and kind."

"Yes, you want to harm the princess just because the princess is pure and kind? Thinking about committing a crime, the kind princess must forgive you as soon as she begs for mercy? If you don't forgive you, you are not pure and kind? Have you ever thought that if the princess falls into the water? What should I do if I get sick? What if I suffer from infertility due to cold from now on?" Liu Ruyi's series of questions completely knocked Ji Yanhui into a coma.

"I, I..." Ji Yanhui was speechless.

"Go away, according to the law, you can deal with it as you like." Liu Ruyi waved her hand in disgust.

Ji Yanhui still wanted to struggle to intercede, but was dragged and gagged by several women and sent out.

"Ruyi, are you going to salvage the fishpond now? What's under the fishpond?" Mu Zitan leaned over and asked after seeing the people leave.

Liu Jiaren, who had been silent by the side just now, also looked at Liu Ruyi with interest.

"I told you, don't be afraid. I suspect there are dead bodies under the fish pond." Liu Ruyi said with a serious face.

Sure enough, the two little girls were still pale from fright.

"Second Sister, who do you suspect did it?" Before Liu Jiaren opened her mouth, she had already made some calculations in her heart. Although the Zhao family was the uncle's family in name, it had little to do with her. The Zhao family obviously rejected concubine daughters. On weekdays, when the head of the Zhao family went to Liu's mansion, they often scolded themselves.

In the future, if they can follow in the footsteps of the second sister and the princess, what is the Zhao family?

Maybe, the best result is that because of this incident, if you are completely accepted by the second sister and the princess, your own good days will come, so you must seize the opportunity.

Besides, the old lady likes her mother so much, if the eldest lady falls, will the mother's status in the mansion be higher? .

"I suspect that people from the previous generation did it, but there is no evidence." Liu Ruyi's face was serious. Now, she doesn't know who did it.

But people kept dying and being sunk into fish ponds. The Zhao family didn't love to eat fish and turn it into a rough fish pond on a whim.

The truth remains to be determined.

"Then Ruyi, have you transferred the guards? When you're ready, let's start now." Except for the initial discomfort, Mu Zitan is very interested in everything.

"Just before we came to Zhao's house, there was already a group of people waiting outside." Liu Ruyi was satisfied with the attitude of the two little girls.

"Then let's get started." Mu Zitan's words seemed to trigger a signal.

"The princess is awake, the princess is awake." As soon as Mu Zitan finished speaking, Linglong, who had been enthusiastically following her master to prepare for something, yelled at the top of her voice.

Immediately, Mu Zitan walked out of the room with a weak and pale face supported by Liu Ruyi.

Standing at the door, he said to the Zhao family who were overjoyed because she woke up: "When I fell into the water, I fell into a fish pond that I liked the most. The hairpin given by the emperor is very meaningful, and I must find it."

Before Mrs. Zhao's face changed, Mu Zitan said: "Let my guards go to salvage, I want to see it myself."

Liu Ruyi understood, and immediately supported Mu Zitan and walked quickly to the fish pond.

There was no time for the Zhao family to react. At the same time, the guards came over as quickly as possible.

Mrs. Zhao sent someone to ask the head of the Zhao family to go to the fish pond quickly, and at the same time followed Liu Ruyi, trying to catch up and stop her.

But Liu Ruyi had expected this a long time ago, relying on her kung fu foundation, she supported Mu Zitan and almost hugged Mu Zitan, walked quickly, and when she arrived at the fish pond, she commanded the few people in her hands, Enclose the fish pond and keep people away.

The scenery around the fish pond, to be honest, is really good. It is already autumn, and most of the vegetation should wither, but in the middle of the fish pond, there is a place where the lotus blooms particularly well, the flowers are particularly large, and even faintly scattered. Fluorescent as warm as jade.

Looking at the many flowers, Mu Zitan's eyes lit up, and Liu Jiaren also liked it, "The flowers are so big, it must be very interesting to make lotus bowls." After saying that, she wanted to order someone to pick them.

"The lotus, I'm afraid it was fed by the dead." Liu Ruyi stopped Liu Jiaren, her face becoming more and more serious.
