C217 Killing a Palace Maid Prime Minister Miu Shi
When the palace maid was taken away by Gao Mao, she had a bad premonition in her heart and thought of many possibilities, but could not think of any reason to let the Emperor summon a small palace maid.
She had never entered the core of the Imperial Palace. Looking at such a grand building, she actually started to panic.
Arriving at the side room of the Imperial Reading Room, she gave a big bow to the Emperor. The palace maid did not dare to raise her head to look at the Emperor. Her hands were trembling, it was unknown if she was afraid.
"Do you know your crime?" When the Emperor came to make trouble, his low and deep voice made the palace maid more and more fearful. The palace maid only felt that she was being suppressed by the Emperor's aura until she could not breathe.
She hurriedly knocked on the ground and her voice carried a slight tremble as she panted, "This servant is only a palace maid in the servant room and has never done anything."
"How many times have you seen King Chu?" The Emperor looked at the palace maid who was trembling on the floor and the anger on his face was obvious.
"This servant... This servant has never seen Lord King Chu." The palace maid's breath blew on the floor and there was only a thin layer of mist. She was so afraid that her heart was about to jump out.
"Are you going to say or not?" How could a palace maid block the majesty of an emperor? With just a few simple words, the palace maid's mentality collapsed.
"This servant has only seen King Chu today."
"Lies are deceiving the sovereign!"
"This servant will not dare to deceive the Emperor even if I have ten guts."
"What did you say to King Chu?"
"This servant... This servant..." The palace maid looked at the wooden board that was right in front of her and did not know what to reply for a moment.
"Speak!" The Emperor slammed the table.
The palace maid trembled in fear and Gao Mao bent down.
"King Chu asked this servant to investigate Consort Lan and Your Ladyship's matter." The palace maid sobbed and was truly frightened.
"Cough cough!" The Emperor pressed both of his hands on the table and was so angry that he coughed twice. Gao Mao wanted to go and serve him but the Emperor waved his hand and Gao Mao retreated.
"This servant knows her crime! May the Emperor spare this servant. This servant does not know anything and did not say anything to King Chu. " The palace maid hurriedly kowtowed and made a dull sound.
The Emperor looked at the palace maid in front of him and his face became serious, "Gao Mao, take him away!"
"Yes."
The Emperor did not mean to lock the palace maid up, but to let Gao Mao take her down and clean her up.
The palace maids also knew the meaning behind it and knocked their heads harder and harder as tears flowed out. "Emperor, please spare my life! Emperor... "
Gao Mao signalled the two eunuchs who caught her and the palace maid's mouth was blocked. The palace maid's hands were grabbed and her feet stomped on the floor. Tears fell onto the hand that covered her mouth.
Yun Xi did not go far because when she came out of the Imperial Reading Room, she saw the palace maid that was having a private meeting with Yu Longchen was brought over. She just waited there.
Seeing Gao Mao dragging the palace maid out, Yun Xi hid behind the flowers with the palace maid and waited for Gao Mao to leave before returning to her palace.
Later on, the palace maid that Yun Xi sent out came back to tell her that the palace maid was dead. Yun Xi was thinking about why the Emperor wanted to kill that palace maid and after a long time, she could not think of a reason.
Yu Longzi laid on the bed and listened to the bodyguard report that the Emperor knew that Yu Longchen secretly dealt with that palace maid. The palace maid was brought to be interrogated and then sentenced to death. Thinking about it, he laughed loudly and pulled on the wound again.
He had long buried the thread in this matter, waiting for the net to be pulled back. He had the eunuch in the servant room release the palace maid just to let her run in front of Yu Longchen.
Since both of them wanted to meet, he might as well give them a line. With Yu Longchen's ability, how difficult would it be to contact that palace maid? If he wanted to know the location of their secret meeting, he really had to put in some effort.
This matter could not be exposed by himself. Yun Xi had feelings for Yu Longchen. From the first time Yun Meng came and kissed Yu Longzi, she knew that she originally wanted to marry Yun Xi as the official consort, but the disadvantages outweighed the benefits. Today, Yun Xi could be considered to have helped him a lot.
The Emperor did not want to mention Consort Lan's secret, but Yu Longchen kept touching the Emperor's Forbidden Lamella. No matter how much the Emperor liked and how much patience he had, it would be worn out.
Yu Longchen returned to the Imperial Residence and Mu Ruqing had not returned yet. He could not help but be a little worried and went to the Prime Minister's Residence to look for her in the carriage that entered the Palace.
Yu Longchen was led in by the butler, and Mu Po came to receive him.
"Prime Minister Mu, where is Qing?" Yu Longchen asked as soon as he came in. The concern on his face made Mu Po feel that he had chosen the right person.
"Qing is still talking to her brother. Do you want to bring the prince?" Mu Po's smile was on his face and his tone was respectful.
"No need, we should wait for her here." Yu Longchen sat down. Mu Po whispered to the servant and told Mu Ruqing that King Chu was here.
The servant answered and ran out. Mu Po and Yu Longchen chatted casually.
When Mu Jun returned, Mrs Miao left by herself. Indeed, she could not touch Mu Ruqing now, but it did not mean that she could not do it forever.
Mu Ruqing thought of Mu Quan not coming. After all, her sister's death was related to her. Mistress Ling's confinement was also done by her. If he was still willing to come, it would be really strange.
When she heard the servant report that Yu Longchen had come to the Prime Minister's residence, the corners of her mouth curled up. Finally, she told Mu Jun to be careful and left.
She walked to Mrs Miao's courtyard and paused for a bit. He still brought Lingyue in.
"Greetings, Princess."
Along the way, servant girl bowed. The wet nurse was just about to carry Xiaoxiao to Mrs Miao's room when she saw Mu Ruqing from afar and turned her head back.
Mu Ruqing only took a glance and entered the room. She looked at servant girl who was in the room and her domineering command made people not dare to refute, "All of you withdraw. This wangfei wants to say a few words to mother."
Mrs Miao sat on the main seat and did not look at Mu Ruqing.
"There are a few questions that I want to ask mother." Mu Ruqing looked at the yellow faced Mrs Miao and sat beside Mrs Miao.
"Will mother feel guilty?" Mu Ruqing saw that she did not speak and continued to speak. If you do not answer, there will be no problem. I only care about asking.
"You are the bastard child of the Li Family Village?" Mrs Miao clenched her fist and placed it on the table as she looked at Mu Ruqing with a gloomy gaze.
"Evil child? Ah." Mu Ruqing was full of disdain and slightly tilted her head, "So what if it is? What can you do to me? "
"Where is my Qing?! Where is my Qing?! " Mrs Miao was furious and wanted to climb onto the table and hit Mu Ruqing. She did not look like the Mu Manor Mistress at all.
" Of course she is dead. No one knows better than you why her body is so weak." Mu Ruqing only wanted to laugh coldly. She stood up and her face became pampered, "After all, she was born prematurely."
"I'm going to kill you!" Veins popped out on Mrs Miao's forehead and neck. Although her words were harsh, she did not move.
"What did your Sect Leader ask you to do? You want to kill me with such thoughts? If I knew that I was my father's daughter, I wouldn't have added anything to the blood test. " Mu Ruqing pouted as if she felt wronged.
"Phew." Mrs Miao took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions. She could no longer touch her in the Imperial Residence. If everything was exposed, she would only die.
"The poison on brother's protective talisman was inflicted by you, right?" Mu Ruqing sorted out everything. Initially, she felt that Mrs Miao and Mu Jun's relationship was strange. It was Mrs Miao who wanted to kill Mu Jun in secret, but she wanted to treat him well in the open. It was indeed very confusing.
"Unfortunately, he did not die. Now, only you can die. You and him, who lives, you choose "
"That's funny. You should ask yourself if you're still alive. I am Princess Chu. You can't hurt me. Besides, you still need to rely on your elder brother. How are you going to kill him? Could it be that you are stupid enough to kill your eldest son and raise a bastard son who treats you as his enemy? "
Mu Ruqing was right. Mrs Miao would not kill Mu Jun. The only way was to kill Mu Ruqing in the Imperial Residence, but that was even harder than the heavens.
