Long Song Fenghua: The Demon Queen Confused the King's Heart

Chapter 193 The Four Princes Come

"Perhaps Mother Liu will know about it." Bi Zhu said, "Mother Liu has followed the old lady for so many years, and she is the old lady's dowry maid, so she will know something."

As soon as Bizhu finished speaking, she saw Suyu enter the door and sighed, "I'm afraid it's too late."

"Why is it too late?" Mu Changge frowned, but he had already vaguely guessed something in his heart.

"On the way back when my maidservant sent Aunt Jiang back, I heard the servants in the mansion say that since we left, Mother Liu jumped into the lotus pond in the mansion. When she was rescued, she was already dead."

Mu Changge sighed softly, this mother Liu has a strong personality, and she doesn't want to live alone when her master is gone.Or... Mother Liu was afraid that she would not be able to keep her master's secret, so she simply jumped and brought what she knew to the loess.

Now the old lady committed suicide by taking poison, and Mother Liu also killed herself. Although there are hints left by the old lady in Mu Chang's singer, she is still at a loss and can't find any direction.

At night, in Bai'an, which was still sunny during the day, spring rain began to fall, and the air was filled with a moist earthy smell.

In the bedroom, only an oil lamp was dimly lit. Mu Changge was standing by the window, and the spring rain was dripping outside the window.

Under the dwarf bamboo outside the window, a shoot sprouted quietly out of the ground, with a delicate appearance, exactly like Mu Changge's fingertips resting on the window sill.

A gust of damp wind blew past, and Bizhu got up sleepily, and saw Mu Changge leaning against the window with far-sighted eyes.

Hastily took out the thin cloak, Bizhu put it on carefully.

Mu Changge was in a trance, and only when the cloak fell on his body did he come back to his senses, slightly apologetic, "Woke you up?"

"It's nothing to do with my servant, it's good that Miss doesn't catch a cold. Although it's a spring rain and a warm one, it's still cold at night." Bi Zhu carefully helped her straighten her cloak before saying, "Miss rarely stays up all night, but what's on your mind ?”

Closing the window, Mu Changge sat down, and the shadow of the lamp reflected in those eyes that looked like an ancient well without waves, flickering.

"I still don't understand the matter of the old lady." Mu Changge said in a deep voice, "What does the old lady mean?"

Today in the ancestral hall, what the old lady used to commit suicide was an extremely strong and rare poison.

Seeing the old lady bleeding from seven orifices at that time, Suyu's expression was somewhat astonished.After returning to Qiancui Courtyard, Suyu said, the poison hidden on the old lady's body has never been seen in Bai'an, this poison is too rare, even in Cangde, not everyone can get it .

In addition, from the proud tone of the old lady, Mu Changge can conclude that the person who has an affair with the old lady must not be an ordinary person.

It's just... If that person is a person of great status in Cangde, then why did Qi Jinzhi order people to search for it, but they couldn't find it everywhere?
Why did the old lady refuse to explain directly?As for whether it's a blessing or a curse, she can only look at her own good fortune in the future... Every time she thinks about it, Mu Changge always feels that there is something implied in these words.

Countless mysteries appeared one after another following the death of the old lady, but all the mysteries pointed to the old lady who had already set foot on the road to hell.

Bizhu flattened her mouth helplessly, "These are too complicated, my servant is not as smart as the lady, so I can't think of them for a while. The servant is worried that the two masters in the mansion will be unfavorable to the lady."

Mu Changge's brows were relaxed, calm as usual, "What should come will always come, so there's no need to be uneasy. The soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth. Compared with those two people, it's the one who is silent The most important thing to watch out for."

"Miss, you mean...Miss San?"

Mu Changge nodded. In this mansion, the one who wants her life the most must be Mu Baozheng.

"If something goes wrong, you're a demon. Baozheng hates me so much, and with her usual temperament, she will definitely take the opportunity to harm me." Mu Changge said slowly, "But today, did she ever show her face?"

Only then did Bizhu suddenly realize, "Miss said, today, I really haven't seen Third Miss show up!"

Mu Baozheng didn't show up, so there were only two possibilities, either she had really changed her temper, or she was scheming and knew how to temporarily avoid the edge and secretly recharge her energy.

Having died at her hands once, Mu Changge knows better than anyone how deep Mu Baozheng's jealousy is. Putting down the word, it will never appear in her consciousness.

Mu Changge picked up the warm tea cup, took a sip, and his slightly squinted eyes revealed a faint cold light, "In the days to come, I'm afraid I'll have to be more cautious."

Bizhu's heart skipped a beat, she didn't know what to say, she just stayed silently by her side.

That night, the lights of Qiancui Courtyard were lit until late at night, but the place where Mu Baozheng was was brightly lit all night.

Wrapped in a thick cloak, Mu Baozheng still felt the cold air coming from under his feet.

The waste paper rolled scatteredly on the ground, and every few lines were written, it was torn and thrown out again.

When it was almost dawn, finally, a letter with densely packed handwriting appeared on the table intact.

"Where are the carrier pigeons ready?"

The wild goose who had been waiting all night hurriedly moved his numb legs and fetched the pigeon.

Mu Baozheng sealed the envelope expressionlessly, touched the pigeon's wings, went to the yard and waved it vigorously, and the pigeon flapped its wings and flew away quickly.

She never expected that her father was the child of the old lady's affair. In the past, in the mansion, relying on her status as the only daughter-in-law, even without her mother, she would be able to overwhelm Mu Changge by three points.

But now... Mu Baozheng bit the corner of his lips subconsciously, and a chill filled his body.

Now she has no shelter in the mansion, and the little bitch has King Cang to help her, not only that, even the people in the second room seem to be very close to her, the old lady yesterday, it was the second lady who asked Did you go!
If this continues, when will she be able to recover her mother's blood debt from that bitch! ?

Now that things have happened, she has no choice but to make such a move...

"Yan'er." Mu Baozheng ordered coldly, "Pack up my clothes."

"The old lady passed away just now, where is Miss going?"

"You can do what you want, no need to talk too much!"

After being reprimanded, Yan'er didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she hurriedly turned and went back to the room.

The old lady's death was justified by the Mu family as a sudden death due to a sudden illness. The coffin, which was supposed to stay at home for seven days, only stayed for a short day before rushing to bury it.

It's just that in this funeral, none of the people who came to the funeral could see the remains of the old lady, and Mu Wenze explained it hastily on the grounds that he was afraid of getting sick.

Because of his past friendship with Mu's Mansion, Su Jibai came to Mu's Mansion very early, paid homage to the dead, and then quietly went to Mu Changge and Qi Jin's place.

"Your Highness asked me to send a message, saying that you will come later." Su Jibai said, "Your Highness said, please don't blame the second lady."

Mu Changge said slowly: "It's enough for His Highness the Prince to have this intention, and it doesn't matter if the person doesn't arrive."

"Don't look at His Royal Highness, who is usually loose, but attaches great importance to your relationship with Changge. It doesn't matter if you say it, he will definitely come."

After saying this, Su Jibai lowered his voice again, "The old lady in the house, didn't you go well a few days ago, why did you leave so suddenly?"

"It's a long story, so it's not appropriate to go into details here." Mu Changge bowed to the distant relatives who came to pay homage from a distance, with a very soft voice.

Su Jibai was taken aback for a moment, the astonished expression flashed from his face, and then he kept silent about this matter, and only chatted with Mu Changge about other things.

The few of them were talking in a low voice here, although there were many people coming and going beside them, few of them would notice them, just because Mu Baozheng's wailing was really too desolate and sorrowful.

Qi Jinzhi twirled the folding fan in his hand, and tapped his forehead, feeling a little headache, "It's been more than an hour, and the third lady in the house is so full of spirit, it really impresses me."

Just as Su Jibai was about to speak to remind him, Mu Changge had already cast a slanted glance at him. Before he could speak, Qi Jinzhi quietly made a silent gesture and closed his thin lips tightly. Only those charming fox eyes Always stop on her body.

After reaching the edge of his mouth, he still put it back, Su Jibai smiled self-deprecatingly, deliberately made himself look away, and happened to see the person who just walked in.

Su Jibai snorted, "Brother Qi, Changge, is the person who came here the Fourth Prince?"

Following Su Jibai's line of sight, Mu Changge recognized at a glance that that person was the current Fourth Prince, the son of Concubine Li Shu, Su Yibin.

For funerals like the Mu family, except for people with unusual relationships, the prince does not need to come deliberately, this is also to avoid suspicion deliberately.

The Li Mansion and the Mu Mansion are relatives by marriage, and the fourth prince Su Yibin came to offer his condolences, which makes sense in terms of emotion and reason, but...

Mu Changge looked at Su Yibin secretly. In her memory, the Fourth Prince never paid much attention to the Mu family since he was a child.

He clearly looked down on the Mu Mansion, but he took the initiative to come to the Mu Mansion to express his condolences. Was he here just to express his condolences, or... for something else?
Seeing Su Yibin coming, the old man went forward tremblingly, pretending the pain of losing his wife was tight.

However, Su Yibin's attention was not on the old man at all, and he walked to the coffin in twos and threes after he had finished his etiquette, "Cousin Baozheng?"

This claim was really indescribable intimacy and distress, and Mu Changge realized something immediately with a thought.

Mu Baozheng, who was weeping unceasingly, realized that there was an extra person beside him, and raised his face, that face, which was originally innocent, was now even more pear-blossoming and rainy, so pitiful.

"Fourth Highness..."

This extremely helpless sentence immediately caused Su Yibin to write all his heartache on his face.

"How do you servants work!?" Su Yibin suddenly lowered his face, and coldly scolded Yan'er.
