C336 Behind the Scenes People
"Can Your Highness not interfere in this matter? No matter who is involved. " Mu Ruqing's meaning was very clear. She was talking about Yun Xi. The only person who dared to do such a thing in the Imperial Residence was her. Mu Ruqing could not think of anyone else.
... "" Yu Longchen moved, but he did not have the time to speak.
The guard came out to report, "Royal Highness, Princess, there is a problem with these two corpses."
" Oh? " Mu Ruqing became interested. She knew there was something wrong with the corpse, but she could not find the reason.
"There is an intricate wooden mechanism on the spine and the arm of the corpse. Cut open the flesh and bury the mechanism inside. The mechanism has a certain pattern. That's why the corpse will move " As the guard spoke, he had never seen such a mechanism before.
"Is it the same in Lingyue's room?" Mu Ruqing asked the guard who just came over. He should have gone to Lingyue's room.
"Yes." The two guards looked at each other.
"Spread the word. Due to the rainstorm last night, I woke up at midnight. I didn't stay in the room for long and went to the prince's study." Mu Ruqing looked at Yu Longchen and put her hands on her abdomen, "Go and tell the doctor that Lingyue was frightened. She also caught a cold. "
"Yes." The guard did not wait for Yu Longchen to give the order. He received Mu Ruqing's good order and started to clean up the corpse.
"This corpse, I will have to trouble everyone..." Mu Ruqing suddenly became mysterious.
She wanted to walk into the room but was grabbed by Yu Longchen's arm. "Do not go to that shady place again."
"Okay." Mu Ruqing agreed with him. "Put this corpse at a place according to my instructions."
The guard looked at Yu Longchen and received his nod before getting busy.
"Since you have already decided, let's go to the new courtyard first." Yu Longchen did not need to ask. He knew Mu Ruqing would not be in this courtyard.
Mu Ruqing nodded. Yu Longchen went to help her naturally.
Lingyue also cooperated and let two guards help Mu Ruqing out.
Since it was done by someone, there should be some movement now. There should have been people who came to inquire about the situation in this courtyard a long time ago. Lingyue was pretending for them to see.
How could Yu Longchen not know that there was someone behind him? If Mu Ruqing did not pull him, he really wanted to slap that person to death.
Huatine saw the situation and quietly retreated. Her face was gloomy as she returned to Yun Xi's room.
Yun Xi looked at her from the corner of her eyes, "You did it?"
In a short period of time, the news spread throughout the Imperial Residence.
"This servant cannot bear to see the Princess suffer such humiliation." Huatine immediately knelt down.
"Why are you so reckless? Aren't you letting Mu Ruqing catch hold of my weakness?!" Yun Xi slammed the table and stood up.
"Princess, Mu Ruqing must have been frightened. Her expression is not good. If she continues to do it, the child will definitely not be safe! Princess! You already have no fertility. It was all Mu Ruqing's fault. Can the Princess still tolerate it?!" Huatine cried and cried. Every sentence was for Yun Xi.
Yun Xi vented her anger. A woman cannot have a child. It was the cruelest torture in the world.
"This servant knows that the princess hates Mu Ruqing and the Royal Highness. The princess has a daughter's body, there are some things that this servant will do." Huatine respectfully complied and the scene of servant girl humiliating her replayed in her mind.
"By doing this, the first person Mu Ruqing suspects is me! You still want to continue doing this, do you think it is possible?" Yun Xi was still considered rational and knew her own situation. "Let's not talk about other things first. Mu Ruqing has a character of revenge. This time, she will definitely not let me go easily. I am now alone in King Chu's Mansion and have no one to rely on. Have you thought about my situation? "
"Mu Ruqing does not have any evidence..."
"She has been in King Chu's Mansion for so long. Do you think she needs evidence to convict me? ! I have taught you for such a long time, but you are still so stupid! "
" This servant did all of this. This servant will not let Mu Ruqing touch the princess. "
" Who do you think you are to be able to guess her thoughts? " Yun Xi could not suppress the anger in her heart and directly gave Huatine a slap.
"As long as you are on guard and Mu Ruqing is unable to obtain the evidence, you cannot say that this servant killed the person." Huatine also did not care about Yun Xi hitting herself, "The princess is in the Imperial Residence and is not alone and helpless."
"What did you say?" When Yun Xi heard this sentence, her thoughts moved and her brows knitted together.
Huatine looked at Yun Xi...
Mu Ruqing's new courtyard was on the east side of the Imperial Residence and the layout was similar to the original courtyard. It was just that there was less anger and more depression. It could not be compared to the courtyard that Mu Ruqing personally took care of for more than a year.
The doctor came to check Lingyue's pulse and prescribed some medicine. Lingyue originally did not want to take it and Mu Ruqing was not allowed to instruct people to instruct her to watch her finish the medicine.
"Your Royal Highness, the small ice warehouse on the west side of the Imperial Residence is not usable anymore. Why not seal it." Mu Ruqing knew who was the one who died. The two were the people who were guarding Yun Xi's courtyard. How many of them were arguing with Huatine? The other one was servant girl, who was looking after the small ice house in the west. The three corpses had all been frozen in the ice house. That was why it could be preserved for such a long time.
"That Huatine actually knows such a skill." Lingyue followed by Mu Ruqing's side, thinking about the strange corpse that the guard had mentioned earlier.
"That bitch is the descendant of Yun Meng's exquisite craftsman. Her father was the skilled craftsman of Yun Meng Palace, so she became Yun Xi's personal maid." Yu Longchen had always been steady and steady, but today he actually said the word 'bitch'. It could be imagined how angry he was.
"So that's how it is." Mu Ruqing went to the gazebo and sat down, basking in the sun. The gloomy atmosphere last night was too heavy, and now it was time to eliminate the Yin Qi, "Such a clever and clever plan, wouldn't it be a pity to kill him just like that?"
"But, she hates the Princess to the core, so she definitely can't be used." Lingyue suppressed the anger in her heart. Now she even wanted to kill Huatine directly.
"This matter, I'm afraid that as a servant, she will not be able to do it." Mu Ruqing got a cup of tea and passed it to Yu Longchen to cater to his gaze.
Yu Longchen received the tea and drank a mouthful but did not speak.
"She is Lateral Consort Yun's personal servant so Lateral Consort Yun naturally cannot be detached from it." Lingyue's tone was angry.
"This time, I dare to say that Yun Xi does not know." Mu Ruqing's gaze had not left Yu Longchen, "The person behind Huatine, does Your Highness have any clues?"
Only then did Yu Longchen look at Mu Ruqing and still did not say anything.
"In the Imperial Court, there are many people who are coveting the Imperial Residence. I wonder if Your Highness is willing to listen to my opinion." Mu Ruqing saw that Yu Longchen did not speak, so she had some confidence in her heart.
"Speak." Yu Longchen only said one word.
"Although the prince doesn't have the intention to fight for the throne, he should have his own power. You can't trust others completely." Mu Ruqing was talking about the Crown Prince, "This way, His Royal Highness does not need to rely on the Emperor's favoritism to protect King Chu's Mansion. Before the next Emperor ascended to the throne and gave the Royal Highness a fief to the Earth Province, your Highness should be careful."
"Mm." Yu Longchen finally agreed to Mu Ruqing's request.
Mu Ruqing smiled happily and touched her belly. "It is going to be winter. The weather is getting colder and colder, especially the wind in the capital."
Yu Longchen took off the cloak on his body and draped it over Mu Ruqing. He looked in the direction of the Imperial Palace.
"In another half a month, the Royal Highness's restriction will be lifted." Mu Ruqing had not felt Yu Longchen's tenderness for a long time. She could not help but feel attached to him and held his hand on her shoulder.
Yu Longchen was moved and softened his heart. He held Mu Ruqing's slender fingers tightly and did not want to let go.
