Under the leadership of Hu Ji and Ying Zheng, from Zhao Gao's mouth, many courtiers' secrets were dug out.

Zero Yu's eyes widened as he listened, and he ate the closed door, and Hu Ji and Ying Zheng would find a way to get this field back.

Clearly blaming Zhao Gao, in fact, he dug up more of the ministers' words, and left them for later, and cleaned up all those people. Don't talk about it now, it's just that the time hasn't come yet, Ling Yu has eaten so much closed-door soup, and he has lost the face of Yingzheng, and this breath will come out sooner or later.

And Zhao Gao no longer has scruples, everyone has hurt him so much, does he still have to speak for those people? Attacking Zhong Dian is such a big thing, Ying Zheng didn't kill him, even if he remembered his previous kindness, if he dared to hide anything, then he couldn't blame anyone.

Hu Ji asked: "Let's go back to the previous question, you can't be the head of the secret guard anymore, and this princess will take over for the time being, and I can't be good either, because there is still a secret guard commander to make magic calculations." The magic guy is not easy to fool, he is like a monkey, if he thinks that there is a problem with the secret guards, then there must be a problem, if I can't find out, then I am derelict in my duty and very embarrassed. ”

"So you have to tell me, are Weilan and Maomao involved? Among the guards, apart from you, the two of them have the most power. If you didn't participate, then one of the two of them must be involved, otherwise how would the people below dare to participate? ”

Zhao Gao carefully recalled the events of last night, and then replied: "Princess Qiyu, Lan'er really hasn't gone out, but I don't know if Maomao has gone out." Because I only go to Lan'er, and I don't go to Maomao, you should ask Lao Xiang. ”

Hu Ji pouted and said, "Ask Lao Xiang?" Hell if you can ask. ”

"Pass on Weilan and Maomao."

The subordinates immediately summoned the message, but after a while, they saw Weilan walk into the small courtyard, and after saluting, he said: "King Qiqi, the master of Zhongli Palace, and all the masters, Mao Mao is sick, rest in my place, and can't come." ”

Mao Mao was sick, except for Ling Yu, the rest of the people looked at each other, Zhao Gao frowned and said: "Lan'er, when I went to you yesterday, Mao Mao hadn't come yet, why was he sick at your place at this time?" ”

Weilan replied: "Brother Gao, not long after you left, Sister Maomao came to have a small gathering with me, and everyone talked and drank some wine. Occasionally, I dared to go to bed early, and I saw that she was weak and weak, so I didn't let her get up, and hurried to say hello to the king. ”

Orchid asked, "When did Mao Mao go to you?" ”

Weilan replied, "Before the time." ”

Hu Ji's face was full of doubts, and he looked at Zhao Gao, and Zhao Gao said: "Princess Qiyu, I did leave when I was in Hai, maybe Sister Mao Mao went at that time." ”

The time is not right, Zero Yuyin was assassinated, and if Mao Mao and Weilan did not go out during this time, then it can only be said that Zhao Gao is lying. But Zhao Gao is obviously on duty in Yingzheng's dormitory, waiting for Yingzheng's call at any time, and has no chance to go anywhere else, so who is lying?

At this moment, I heard a voice outside the courtyard say: "You are lying, Mao Mao can't go to you before the time comes." ”

I saw Fusheng slowly walk into the small courtyard, saluted Yingzheng, and said: "Son Qiyu, I went to bed early last night, and the people also told me, Sister Lingyu went to see me, and saw that I was sleeping deeply, and I left without waking up." After dawn, I found out that something had happened in the palace, and because Xinrong's sister was frightened, I had been with her to comfort her, so I didn't come to Huayang Palace for lunch. ”

Ying Zheng asked, "How is Rong'er's situation?" ”

Fusheng said: "It's very bad, I don't dare to stay until now, and I keep shouting that the fire is going to burn, let me take her out of the palace." It should have been last night's palace change, except for the two maids around, there were no sisters to comfort him, and he was frightened. When the king's tomb is over, I'll go over there and have a look. ”

"As for Weilan, she is getting bolder and bolder, and she dares to lie in front of her son. She said that Mao Maozi went to her before, but Zishi was obviously at my place, how could Mao Mao go to her? Maomao stayed with me for half an hour and did not leave until I had fallen asleep. ”

Ying Zheng's face was angry, Zhao Gao was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and shouted: "Lan'er, don't kneel down quickly, explain honestly and clearly, we can't lie in front of the king and the masters." ”

Weilan knelt down directly, and said with tears in her eyes: "Please forgive the king, such a big thing happened in the palace, I don't dare to talk nonsense, I just want to protect Sister Maomao." Therefore, the time when she went to me was brought forward a little, so that whatever happened would have nothing to do with her, and I asked the king to forgive me. ”

Ying Zheng asked: "Tell me honestly, when did Mao Mao go to you, what did he do, and tell me clearly." ”

He also commanded: "Come, go and call Maomao." ”

The subordinates went to Weilan's residence to call someone, and Weilan knelt on the ground and said in detail: "After the time of Yin, before the time of Mao, Sister Maomao came to my residence in a panic. I don't know what she did outside, but I do know that the temple attached to the bell hall had a fire so big, she must have been involved in something. ”

She kept saying that Sister Zero Yu might be dead, and someone in the Zhong Hall was going to kill her. I asked her carefully, and she didn't say anything, only that she was waiting for the result, and if Sister Zero Yu died, she wouldn't live alone. ”

"After a night, news came from the palace that no one had found the whereabouts of Sister Zero Yu. Sister Mao Mao kept saying that she was guilty, and she didn't tell me what the crime was. Just let me go out to inquire, I just went out and heard movement in the room, and quickly looked back, but saw Sister Mao Mao raise her sword to commit suicide, a sword through the chest. It was only because I saved her too quickly that she did not die, and it is estimated that she will not recover within a few years. ”

The people in the small courtyard looked at each other, attempted suicide, what did Mao Mao go through, why did he bent on seeking death?

Zhao Gao kowtowed vigorously and said, "Please forgive the king for Weilan's sin, I didn't discipline them well, and I actually lied in front of you." When I bring them back, I will immediately ground them and give you an explanation. ”

Fusheng shook his head and said, "How do you explain?" This is a crime of deception, and no one can bear it. What I'm most worried about now is how to tell Grandma Huayang that Mao Mao and Weilan have problems, they are from Huayang Palace, and they always have to tell her old man. ”

Ying Zheng said: "Give a silent order, you can't let Grandma Huayang know about this matter, let alone say it to Lao Xiang, so as not to cause extraneous branches." ”

Lin Ye smiled bitterly: "Lao Xiang already knows. ”

Everyone looked outside the courtyard and saw two subordinates carrying a stretcher and carrying Mao Mao, who had attempted suicide. And beside him, Lao Xiang sighed four times and whispered something to Maomao.

When he arrived in the courtyard, Lao Xiang knelt directly in front of Ying Zheng, kowtowed heavily, and fell to the ground without saying a word.

Needless to say, Lao Xiang also knows Maomao's situation. Last night's palace change, Mao Mao must have participated, otherwise she wouldn't have committed suicide. As long as the person dies, no one else will be implicated, but Lao Xiang, Weilan and others don't want Mao Mao to die. When I got here, I just waited for Yingzheng to punish, and no amount of explanation was useless.

Ying Zheng sighed: "Lao Xiang, get up, it's really hard for you, the person caught in the middle is the most painful." Not only to maintain the status of Huayang Palace, but also to take care of Mao Mao's life and death, he can't be the master, this mood, this king also experienced back then. Get up, this king won't kill Maomao, you can rest assured. ”

Lao Xiang said in a deep voice: "Where can the old slave rest assured, during lunch, the princess said that the wound in the abdomen of the Zero Feather Beauty was a stab by an acquaintance, plus Mao Mao's current situation, the matter is already very clear." Even if the king forgave her, how could my master, Lady Dawn and others spare her? In the final analysis, Mao Mao is still from Beigong, the king does not dispose of her, and the young palace master of Chenxi also has to give an explanation to the concubines of each palace. ”

"The status of the old slave is low, and in front of these big people, there is no room for interjection. I just ask the king to think of a proper way to leave the Qin Palace. Only in this way can she save her life, otherwise, the king will not be able to explain to several queen mothers. ”

Ying Zheng smiled: "Oh, then tell me, with the current identity of this king, who else do you need to explain?" If you want to release someone, the queen mother will not refute it. ”

Lao Xiang cried bitterly: "The queen mothers will naturally not lose the face of the king, but the old slave knows that the king is a filial son and will not see the queen mothers uncomfortable." Mao Mao committed such a crime, the last time the Empress Dowager Xia Ji was not pursued, this is the second time, if the king still wants to connive, where can the queen mothers be happy. ”

"To the top and the bottom, the king has to give an explanation to all parties. The old slave thought about it, and the lightest punishment was to be killed with a cane, otherwise, it would be a big crime that would affect the family. Who was born in the Qin Palace, which one has no family outside the palace? If you suffer and die, you can also die with peace of mind, but even the people of the clan are unwilling. And the old slave is very selfish, not only to protect the clansmen outside, but also to not want Mao Mao to be executed, but I really can't think of a suitable way. ”

Mao Mao on the stretcher, endured the pain, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Xiang, seeing that Sister Lingyu is fine, I can go with peace of mind, you can't think of a way to live for me, it will kill you." Mao Mao felt guilty and asked the king to give me a death directly, so that everyone would have an explanation. ”

Ying Zheng smiled: "You want to die, but there are still many people who don't want to." ”

Looking at the people around him, Zhongli was expressionless and did not speak. Lin Ye couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "Then stop in the Zhong Palace, don't come out again in the future, and say to the outside world that Mao Mao is dead, just don't attract people's eyes." ”

Hu Ji shook her head and said: "This move is not appropriate, Sister Chenxi has entered the palace, and when she finishes learning court etiquette, she will go to the Zhong Palace to ask Sister Mindai to say goodbye, can we hide it?" Zhongdian also has people from Beigong, and those people will definitely visit her in unison. ”

Fusheng smiled bitterly: "There are too many people in the palace who know Mao Mao, and it is not appropriate to hide anywhere, so you can't go to the Zizhu Forest, can you send it to the Yiling Palace?" That's still it, it's even more hateful to go there. ”

Lao Xiang cried: "I can't send her out of the palace, there are so many people in and out of the palace, it is estimated that Mao Mao will be killed by the queen mother when she leaves the palace gate." How good is this, the old slave really has no way. ”

Ying Zheng was still smiling, looked left and right, looked at Ling Yu, Ling Yu gritted his teeth and said: "I want to go back today, just hand over Maomao to me, and I'll take her back to the pasture." If someone asks, they will say that my family's silver and bronze are dead, and there is a shortage of manpower to handle the funeral, so I will find Mao Mao's help. As long as we don't tell the public, even if the people who hunt for the camp find her, they can only go to the ranch to ask me, and I will tell them to shut up, and say that it is the king's meaning. ”

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "Then ask me again, I will unify my tone with Yu'er, and the matter will be over." The people Yu'er wants, Grandma Huayang and Grandma Xia Ji always have to give some face, maybe only Chenxi is unhappy, but it's okay, I'll explain it to her clearly. ”

A few people looked up at Ying Zheng and Ling Yu, Mao Mao's crime was very big, and the person who stood up for her would inevitably cause some trouble in the future.

Hu Ji smiled: "I think this method is good, we don't want to really kill Mao Mao, but the palace does tolerate her, let Sister Ling Yu take her away, and the queen mothers won't say anything." But Sister Zero Yu, you have to remember that no matter what happens outside, you can't let Mao Mao take a step out of the ranch, lest the other sisters attack her. ”

"Also, Mao Mao must explain the ins and outs of the matter, why should he participate in the palace change? Even if I designed the battle of the Bell Hall last time, I didn't know that you would participate, and we must always let us know the inside story. ”

Mao Mao, who was lying on the stretcher, said directly: "Last time the palace changed, I had no intention of participating at all, but there are so many people in the Beigong who participated, if I don't take the lead, it will be difficult to make things bigger." So Princess Ying Ai told me that she knew about me and Brother Xiang, and if I didn't participate, she would denounce me at the Empress Dowager Huayang, and I had no choice but to participate. ”

The eyes of the people in the small courtyard widened when they heard this, and Hu Ji smiled: "I guessed that Xiao Ai is also involved, and she has the same idea as me, she always has to investigate the secret vaults hidden by Grandma Xia Ji." The existence of the secret vault is a powder keg, it's okay if you don't use it, as long as you use it, it will be ignited, and you can't hide it if you want to. ”

Mao Mao continued: "As for this time, it was Xiao Ya who sent me a message and asked me to take the secret guard and kill Sister Ling Yu. If I don't do that, the lives of those secret brothers will be lost, and Brother Xiang will be implicated, and even more people outside the palace will be affected. So I will die, and I will use my small life to save everyone's lives, and I am worth it. ”

"What's more, I can't kill Sister Ling Yu at all, she can obviously dodge that sword, and then kill me in turn. But she didn't, she was struck by my sword alive, and she went to the bell hall with her injury, which was simply a life of nine deaths. So I didn't think about living again at all, but unfortunately not only did I not die, but I also put Lan'er and Brother Xiaogao in, which made it even more difficult for Sister Lingyu. ”

After listening to Mao Mao's words, Ying Zheng, Hu Ji, Lin Ye and others all understood. Beigong people value feelings, and others threaten the lives of their relatives, so that these people who value feelings have to give in.

When Ling Yu left with Maomao, the small courtyard of the wordless monument returned to calm, and the life of the Qin Palace was like the palace change had not happened, doing its own thing.

The people in the palace were very busy, and they didn't care about knowing the truth of the matter, because the Qin Palace banquet was about to be held.
