Chapter 79

Lan Xi and Mei Xiang are just maidservants, and they are of low status and cannot accompany them into the palace. It was Mama Du who accompanied Chu Lingyue into the palace. She was waiting outside the palace that day for the palace banquet, so she didn't know the details. His face turned pale.

"Miss, is this true?" Lan Xi was not afraid of anyone who didn't know, thinking of the crying in the Empress Dowager's Palace yesterday, he suddenly had a bitter face. "Miss, is cheating the queen mother a crime of deceiving the emperor..."

"My lady's innocence has been tainted by others, yet you are still wondering if you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!" Mei Xiang's brain collapse hit Lan Xi's head, causing her to grin her teeth in pain.

Lan Xi glanced at Chu Lingyue with a bitter face, and realized the seriousness of the matter, "How can the second lady do this! Our lady is..."

"But the first daughter? Lan Xi, don't forget, Lu Mingmei wished that I would die in her dreams, and wished that I would leave and make room for her." Chu Lingyue hit the nail on the head, and Lan Xi and Mei Xiang were a little silent.

Meng Yanhe and Dong Yuran exchanged glances, and asked a little unwillingly, "Is that all?"

"I said no, forget it, what else can you do to punish her?" Chu Lingyue raised her eyebrows and asked back.Naturally, she wouldn't just let it go. If Lu Mingmei wasn't allowed to pay a price, she wouldn't be called Chu Lingyue.

"Hmph, leave it to us." Dong Yuran patted Chu Lingyue's shoulder, smiling treacherously.Meng Yanhe also seemed to have thought of something, nodded, and signaled Chu Lingyue to leave it alone, the two of them took care of Lu Mingmei and made her docile.

The Weiyuanhou's mansion is not stable, and the Jingchenghou's mansion is not safe either.That day at the palace banquet, when Murong Jing and Murong Xian came back, Mrs. Bai didn't see Murong Xiao, and didn't care, wondering where the child went to play again.In the end, Murong Xiao came back at night, but when he was carried back, his legs were covered in blood. Bai Shi hurriedly called the doctor to see him. The doctor prescribed medicine, saying that he was afraid that some mark would be left.

Bai Shi immediately burst into tears, took Murong Xiao's hand and asked what happened.But Murong Xiao had already fainted from the pain, and no one answered him at all.

Xiao Dezi, who followed Murong Xiao into the palace, told about Murong Xiao smashing the nine-tailed kite in Lanzhi Garden with snot and tears, and then Bai Shi fell silent, crying and ran to find Murong Xian .

Murong Jing was also with Murong Xian, things were in a hurry yesterday and she didn't tell Murong Xian the whole story, but today she specifically informed Murong Xian.

"So, you murdered your brother without any evidence?" Murong Xian disagreed a little, the palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh, Murong Jing was his son, and so was Murong Xiao, not to mention that Bai Shi was still there, if she I know, such a scene is inevitable.

"It's not that there is no evidence." Murong Jing was a little indifferent, seeing that Murong Xian was about to smash his head with a paperweight, she quickly explained, "Although the assassin was not from the mansion, he definitely got it." Very accurate news. People on the battlefield can’t reach the capital with their tentacles. If they want to know my movements, it’s tantamount to going to the sky. And I told my second brother the night before I went to Xishan, this is one of the doubts. The second doubt is , I have investigated, and the second brother has indeed been to Chunjianglou, just the day before I went to Xishan. Chunjianglou is a flower building on the surface, but in fact it is doing the business of selling dog meat, buying and hiring murderers in private , the price is not cheap. The second brother’s fan money in Chunjiang Tower is just enough to buy those killers. It’s a coincidence, it’s too coincidental. Third, I was attacked last time when I was hunting in the countryside. It was the second younger brother who did it."

"So, you took advantage of this palace banquet to deal with him?" Murong Xian never thought that he would give birth to such a son after spending his whole life in the open and aboveboard.He can believe what Murong Jing said without evidence, he has actually investigated each and every one of them, and there is no definite evidence, but he can guess the key.

What happened to Murong Jing, he actually always thought it was a stumbling block for the enemy's spies, but there were many doubts, now that Murong Jing explained it, he understood.

"I can't bear it anymore, I don't need to bear it any longer, this is what my father taught me." Murong Jing spoke boldly, and Murong Xian laughed when he saw it.This son has learned all the ways of the officialdom from Lao Taishan, and he has also learned how to be ruthless on the battlefield. He doesn't know what to say.

Forget it, after all, it was the second son who struck first, and his methods were dishonest, so he was retaliated against, no wonder others.Moreover, Murong Jing also left room for it, he just beat him up but didn't kill him, probably because of his blood relationship.After figuring it out, Murong Xian waved his hand to tell Murong Jing to leave immediately.

This kid, he got angry just looking at it.

As soon as Murong Jing left, Mrs. Bai entered the study crying.

"Master Hou, what crime did I do! It was a good Dragon Boat Festival banquet, but Xiao'er just went to the palace for a banquet, why did he break a pot of orchids and have his legs broken?" Bai said. Crying and howling, I almost knocked off the tiles on the roof of the study.

Being agitated by Bai's crying, Murong Xian couldn't help but frowned, and inexplicably remembered his former wife.Murong Xian became famous when he was young, and he and his ex-wife are considered to be husband and wife. Unfortunately, his ex-wife died early, and he didn't plan to remarry, but Mrs. Murong disagreed, so he married Bai's family.

Murong Jing's mother is a lady of every family, even if she is wronged and wipes her tears, she is quiet and she will never cry like this.

"Ma'am, Xiao'er can't blame others for this matter. Have a good palace banquet, what are you going to do in Lanzhi Garden? Concubine Li has always loved orchids, and if she broke her favorite pot, if she put it on someone else, she would have died long ago." Will you save your life?" Murong Xian walked behind the desk and sat down, automatically choosing to help the eldest son.

He won't say anything for a person who blames himself.

"Master Hou! We are first-rank military marquises. How can such a big person be inferior to a pot of orchids?" Bai Shi couldn't figure it out. Although she was not a lady of the family, she had been married to Murong Xian for so many years, and she had influenced many court officials. According to the rules in the book, I have never been treated like this before, and I can't help it now.

"So what about a first-rank military marquis? It wasn't conferred by the emperor!" Murong Xian raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry, "As a subject, you must put the king first, so it doesn't matter how much military merit you have! Xiao'er's matter is his own fault. Now, can it be possible to rely on me and Jing'er's military achievements to obliterate it? If so, how will the world think of me, Jing Chenghou! If you bully the king, you will have great achievements!"

A high-ranking master shocked Bai Shi, she didn't think about it at all, she saw that Murong Xian was really angry, she took a moment, saluted and admitted her mistake, "Master Hou, I, I just want to see Xiao Xiao. My son was injured so badly that when I lost my mind, I just..."

"Forget it, I know. A loving mother is a loser, from now on you can take good care of Xiao'er and don't let him get into trouble again." Murong Xian pointed out something, Bai Shi also heard the string song and knew the meaning, and understood that there was something in Murong Xian's words .

"Master Hou, but Xiao'er..."

Murong Xian didn't want to say anything more, so he waved his hand to tell Bai Shi to go back. Seeing Murong Xian's indifferent face, Bai Shi didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he had to go back to take care of Murong Xiao first.

Lying on the bed all night, Murong Xiao woke up from Bai Shi's fear. As soon as he woke up, Murong Xiao felt that there was no place in his body that didn't cry out for pain.After thinking about it carefully, Murong Xiao finally remembered what happened.

"Son, what god have you offended to make you look like this!" Mrs. Bai wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and brought the boiled medicine over.Murong Xiao drank the concoction in the bowl in one gulp, shivered bitterly, and then said bitterly.

"Mother, I'm blind this time, and I fell for Murong Jing's tricks."

After finishing speaking, Murong Xiao told Bai Shi everything that happened in the palace. When Bai Shi heard this, he stood up abruptly, "This little bastard dares to be so cruel!"

As the successor of the Jingchenghou's mansion, the Bai family is honorable, but compared to Murong Jing's mother, the Zhuge family, the Bai family is still a head down.Compared with Murong Xiao, Murong Jing's eldest son is still a head taller.Murong Xian also has a temperament of not doing anything, he always said that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and they can rely on themselves to fight for what they want, and they didn't say that they planned an errand for Murong Xiao because he didn't have much martial arts and couldn't make meritorious deeds on the battlefield.

In addition, in the first few years when the Bai family had just entered the family, Murong Xian was quite warm to her. After Murong Xiao was born, Murong Xian deliberately alienated him for some reason. After Murong Xiao grew up, Murong Xian didn't know what to do with her. The son was dissatisfied, and he didn't want to see their mother and son even more.There is also the old lady Murong, she has been diligent and respectful for so many years, but she still picks her nose and eyes.

"Mother, don't be impatient. This time Murong Jing joined forces with the second prince. No one would have expected it. It was just a warning about the Xishan matter." Speaking of this, Murong Jing didn't know where he ran into, and ruthlessly He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and greeted Murong Jing, "I will remember this grudge!"

"What? Xishan?" Bai Shi was a little shocked, and finally understood the meaning of Murong Xian's words, "Your father must have known about this, so he allowed that little bastard to do it like this."

"Huh? Dad knows?" Murong Xiao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Murong Xian to know these things.Does that mean that Murong Xian also participated in it?
"Yes, forget it, let's not talk about this. Mother asked you, did you leave something about the Xishan matter?" When Bai heard that Li Chujun was also involved, she didn't dare to be careless. Just like what Murong Xian said, the Li family is the king. No matter how powerful the Murong family is, they are still ministers.Wanting the Murong family's life is nothing more than an imperial decree.If people were given the excuse that someone in the Murong family intended to assassinate the prince, then sooner or later the Murong family would be ransacked and beheaded.

"Of course not. If there were, it wouldn't be as simple as fifty army sticks." Murong Xiao decided that Murong Jing didn't have a handle to do this. After thinking about it, he sneered and seemed to be planning something.
