Houfu poisonous girl can't be bullied

Chapter 287

Li Chucheng smiled wryly: "At first, I thought this woman was not very simple, and I thought she should know something, but the other party kept silent, and it was quite inconvenient for me all the way, so I thought about asking the shadow guard to send her back. Go home."

Murong Jing nodded, the identity of this woman is unknown, so it is more reasonable to do so.

"It's just that I didn't expect the shadow guard to bring her back not long after he took her away, saying that the woman had something to tell. I was suspicious in my heart, so I asked the shadow guard to bring her closer."

Having said this, Li Chucheng paused again, Murong Jing frowned, and said tentatively: "Are you talking about old things in the palace?"

Li Chucheng stared at Murong Jing suddenly, and took a long time to look back, with no emotion in his tone: "Master Hou is really... Now that you have guessed all this, can Master Hou guess whether this woman is related to me?" What did you say?"

Murong Jing smiled wryly and shook her head: "I only guessed these things after hearing His Highness say that the other party is an old man in the palace. I can't guess anything else."

This made sense, and the guard in Li Chucheng's eyes gradually disappeared, and he took a sip of his wine before speaking again: "She told me the cause of my concubine's death back then."

Li Chucheng said these words calmly, but Murong Jing couldn't hide his surprise.

However, Li Chucheng's next words made the usually calm Hou Ye's complexion suddenly change: "Does Hou Ye know why the Queen Mother loves Chu Lingyue so much?"

Just looking at Murong Jing's expression, there is an answer to this question. Li Chucheng shook his head and let out a long sigh: "I was still doubting whether the woman's words were true or not, but judging by Master Hou's expression, there are nine out of ten that they are true. gone."

Judging from Li Chucheng's reaction, he knew that this matter could not be concealed, Murong Jing simply nodded: "This matter is of great importance, so not many people know about it, please don't spread the matter, Your Highness."

"I see."

Li Chucheng didn't bother about this issue, Murong Jing was a little relieved, and said: "Could it be that the woman His Highness said also knew about it?"

Li Chucheng nodded: "Not only did she know about it, she also said that it was inseparable from the death of my mother and concubine."

At this point, Murong Jing understood Li Chucheng's meaning no matter how dull he was: "Is it because of Ling Yue's mother?"

"Yes."

Li Chucheng nodded. Now that Murong Jing had confessed, he no longer concealed it, and said, "According to what the woman said, my mother and concubine accidentally overheard the conversation between the Queen Mother and the Nanzhu royal family. The background of the wife of the Marquis of Weiyuan is... but she was of low status at the time and had no opinions, so naturally she couldn't keep this kind of secret alone, so after much deliberation, she told Concubine Song about it."

Various forces in the harem are entangled with Murong Jing, and she probably understands that the queen mother only protected the emperor at that time, and the queen and all the concubines relied on the power of the family to keep themselves. Of course it is also understandable.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Li Chucheng's mother and concubine had found Concubine Song to rely on. According to the usual behavior of the Song family, she might be in a dangerous situation.

Sure enough, I heard Li Chucheng say: "The concubine mother only thought that she could gain a firm foothold in front of Concubine Song with this news. Who knew that the Song family was so vicious that they used this to fabricate the story of the empress dowager's filth and disorder in the harem. In the hands of the father, the emperor has no power and is just a puppet, and the empress dowager manipulated the news of the government in order to force the palace to rebel and support the powerful Jinling King at the time."

Murong Jing knew it well, so the person who knew the original truth of the matter became the only gap in the whole thing, and the Song family probably would not tolerate this gap to survive in the world.

Li Chucheng has been completely caught up in the events of the year, and he didn't notice Murong Jing's expression at all, he only said: "The mother concubine only thinks about this matter at most and it becomes a bargaining chip for Song Taifei and the queen mother. It will affect the emperor father. At that time, the imperial palace and harem became more and more chaotic, and the concubine mother blamed herself more and more, so she wanted to go to the emperor father to explain the truth, but in the end..."

The next thing Li Chucheng didn't talk about, how could Murong Jing not guess it, it was nothing more than Concubine Song discovered Li Chucheng's mother and concubine's thoughts, and killed her with ruthless hands in advance, the chaos in the palace back then , the death of an inconspicuous concubine will naturally not be noticed.

It took a long time for Li Chucheng to recover from the old incident, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, this matter has nothing to do with Ling Yue, it's just that the mother concubine died because she was too stubborn to get the attention of the father, I'm sorry to make Ling Yue worry gone."

Murong Jing nodded, but for a moment she didn't know how to respond, so she could only say: "My condolences, Your Highness."

Although it had nothing to do with Chu Lingyue at this time, the cause was Chu Yun's identity back then, and Li Chucheng's mother and concubine died for Chu Yun, so it was normal that she couldn't warm up to her for a while.

Li Chucheng shook his head and sighed: "It's all old things, there's nothing to be sad about, but it's just a little shocking to know the truth all of a sudden."

"Has Your Highness finally figured out the identity of that woman?"

"Just say that she was my mother's concubine's personal maid back then. After her mother's concubine was killed, she took advantage of the chaos in the palace and escaped. However, she couldn't let go of this matter for many years. Now that she has told me the truth, it is considered a worry."

The room fell silent for a while, seeing that the jar of wine had reached its bottom, Murong Jing broke the silence with a dry cough: "However, I really didn't expect that the Song family would be entangled with the King of Jinling back then."

"Yes."

Li Chucheng nodded, took a deep breath and pulled his thoughts back from the past: "I heard what my father said, King Jinling is already in this city?"

Murong Jing was a little surprised by this, Li Fengyi always valued Li Chujun more, but this time he was so abnormal and only told Li Chucheng about King Jinling?
However, thinking that Li Chujun still had Lu Mingmei who was suspected to be related to the King of Jinling, Murong Jing felt relieved, nodded and said, "I entered the city a few days ago, but I just haven't moved."

"It's strange, Father has never intended to move, I just heard him let the shadow guards keep an eye on the mansion where King Jinling is."

Speaking of this, Li Chucheng suddenly understood and said: "You just said that the Song family and the King of Jinling have long been in contact. Could it be that..."

"Yes."

In front of Li Chucheng, Murong Jing certainly wouldn't hide his secrets, so he replied, "I'm afraid the King of Jinling's entry into the city this time has something to do with the Song family. Has the emperor not found out yet?"

Li Chucheng shook his head: "I don't know about that. After all, the emperor seldom talks about these things in front of me, but now that the world is peaceful, what exactly does Song Guogong think?"

"I don't know Duke Song, and I don't know what King Jinling is thinking."

Murong Jing smiled helplessly: "I heard that the King of Jinling has no heirs, and he is now over half a hundred years old. Even if he really adopts the next strategy to fight for the throne, even if the throne is snatched by him, how can he in this world?" How many years have you been sitting?"

Li Chucheng sighed: "If we have guessed the thoughts of these people, then we may have a reason to seize..."

"Your Highness!"

Li Chucheng was interrupted by Murong Jing before he could finish his sentence, and then he realized what he said, and his complexion couldn't help but change.

Murong Jing listened attentively to the movement outside the room before saying: "His Royal Highness needs to be cautious in his words and deeds in the future."

Seeing that Murong Jing's face was as usual, Li Chucheng was able to take care of his fears. He was a little too relaxed in front of Murong Jing. to be eradicated first.

Li Chucheng shook his head secretly, took a sip of wine to calm down, and then continued: "However, my father seems to be hiding the matter from my second brother about King Jinling. Does the Marquis know why?"

Murong Jing nodded: "Your Highness should know that the second prince wants to accept the side concubine?"

"I know that, I heard from Ling Yue that this side concubine's background is not simple?"

"Yes."

Murong Jing said: "Since Ling Yue said it, His Highness must also know that Feiyuelou has also intervened, right?"

Li Chucheng nodded, and heaved a long sigh: "King of Jinling, Feiyue Tower, there may be another disturbance in this imperial city."

"I'm afraid this time it's not just waves, but huge waves."

Murong Jing's complexion was a little ugly: "Your Highness probably doesn't know that King Jinling and Feiyuelou have joined forces."

Li Chucheng's complexion changed drastically, and the wine glass in his hand almost fell to the ground: "What did you say?"

"The minister said that King Jinling and Feiyuelou may have joined forces, His Highness still needs to pay more attention."

After Murong Jing's words fell for a long while, Li Chucheng's shocked expression still remained on his face: "How do you know that these two have teamed up?"

Murong Jing's reaction was not much calmer than Li Chucheng's when he first learned about this, so he was not surprised by the other party's reaction: "Isn't Your Highness still surprised why the Emperor hid the second prince King Jinling's entry into the city?"

Li Chucheng nodded. It stands to reason that Li Fengyi regarded Li Chujun much more important than him, and the King of Jinling matter should really not be hidden from him.

"Because the side concubine next to the second prince has connections with King Jinling."

Perhaps the shock was too strong before, but Li Chucheng didn't seem too surprised at the moment, but said after a while: "I understand why you said that Lu Mingmei's background is not simple."

The change of identity was manipulated by Feiyuelou, and it was related to King Jinling who had just entered the imperial city. Only then did Li Chucheng understand what Murong Jing meant: "You mean that Lu Mingmei is the king of Jinling and Feiyuelou. Leads to contact?"

"This minister is not clear yet."

Murong Jing spread her hands and said: "The emperor should only know that Lu Mingmei is in contact with the King of Jinling, so he guards against the second prince. As for how much Feiyuelou can find out, it's up to His Highness."

Li Chucheng raised his eyebrows: "Father didn't send Lord Hou to investigate the matter of King Jinling?"

"Your Highness really understands the Emperor."

Murong Jing smiled and said: "But I have other important matters to attend to now, I have no choice but to refuse the emperor."

"Oh?"

Li Chucheng was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized what the man was talking about. He couldn't help shaking his head and sighed: "It is said that men put their careers first, but Lord Hou is really... a husband and wife love each other deeply."

Murong Jing spread her hands: "So I'm afraid I won't be able to help you much with the matter of Feiyue Tower. It all depends on Your Highness paying more attention."
