"No? What about, your senior brother Mr. Le? Mr. Wu Ning? Mr. Zuo? Mr. Liu? I remember hearing you and my junior brother talk about these people before." Mu Jinyu's eyes flashed, and he calmly said Ask around.
"They are all friends, okay? What are you thinking! Can't I still have a few friends of the opposite sex? Don't you also have female disciples in Baihua Valley? Could it be that they all like you too?" Xia Luotong looked at him speechlessly, Suddenly he said disgustedly, "Why do you like gossip so much? No wonder even your junior brother dislikes you."
Xia Luotong has become a lot familiar with Mu Jinyu in the past few days. Mu Jinyu is easy to get along with and loves to be funny. The two of them often joke with each other and don't have many taboo things.
Sure enough, Mu Jinyu just smiled after hearing this. There was no sign of anger on her face. Instead, she touched her chin and thought seriously: "Don't tell me, maybe there are female disciples who really admire me!"
"Stop it, you narcissist..."
Since Mu Jinyu arrived at Prince An's Mansion, he has been chatting with him about medical skills every day. Although he can't go out, his life is not boring. At least Xia Luotong feels that it is quite fulfilling.
But compared to Xia Luotong's comfort here, it was not peaceful outside the palace.
The news about Princess An's poisoning and death spread widely. In the past few days, almost everyone in Beijing knew that people from Princess An's natal Xia Mansion came to inquire about the princess several times, but they were all blocked from the palace. Even the gate was blocked. Can't get in.
Not only could the princess's family not be able to enter, but there was no news coming out of the palace, as if there was no such person in the palace at all.
The attitude of Prince An's Mansion made more and more people believe that Princess An was definitely in danger. I don't know when rumors began to spread that Princess An had been secretly transported out of the capital by Prince An and buried in the In the deep mountains and old forests.
A few days later, when the rumors reached their peak and even spread that the Xia family was preparing to file a petition, one afternoon, people lurking around the palace suddenly noticed some clues.
A young-looking man who looked like a young boy suddenly came to Baicao Hall and looked for Mr. Xu. After lowering his head and saying something to Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu stood up suddenly and then quietly left the back door of Baicao Hall, quietly. Returned to Prince An's Mansion.
Many people in the capital knew about the good relationship between Mr. Xu and Prince An. Coupled with Mr. Xu's superb medical skills, as early as the beginning of the poisoning incident of Prince An, someone outside Baicaotang was eyeing Mr. Xu.
Mr. Xu returned to the palace in a low-key and hurried manner, which instantly made the people following him realize that something was wrong, and they all passed the news back.
After Mr. Xu entered the palace, he returned directly to Shaoguang Pavilion. There was no movement after that. The entire Shaoguang Pavilion was quiet, and the guards with three steps and one sentry blocked all prying eyes.
In the darkness around Shaoguang Pavilion, there were many eyes hiding everywhere to spy. During this period, even the concubine of Prince Lao An and the concubine Gao who lived in the west courtyard appeared at the door of Shaoguang Pavilion and whispered to the guardian. The guard of the courtyard said something and looked like he wanted to go in. However, after the guard reported back, he was unable to do so and was still blocked from the courtyard door.
After repeated talk for a long time, with both hard and soft tactics ineffective, the royal concubine had no choice but to leave unwillingly, and calm was restored in front of the courtyard gate.
It wasn't until late in the night that some movement suddenly came from the originally quiet Shaoguang Pavilion.
When the night falls and everything is silent, the slightest movement will be magnified several times. Just when most of the servants in the palace have fallen asleep, the Shaoguang Pavilion suddenly lights up, and some noises are heard through the courtyard wall, and the night wind blows. In the middle, there seemed to be a faint whimpering sound, vague and unreal, making the dark night a bit more desolate and gloomy.
Not long after, General Manager Zhang personally led several servants out of Shaoguang Pavilion. He walked quietly without attracting the attention of others. After a while, he turned back and pushed some unknown items on a cart, cautiously Returned to Shaoguang Pavilion.
Outside the gate of Shaoguang Pavilion, in various dark places, several pairs of eyes hidden in the shadows witnessed all this, watching Manager Zhang's mysterious behavior and secretly doubting it.
Suddenly, a few subtle movements among the servants pushing the cart caught the attention of these snoopers.
The servants seemed to be very cold, and they rubbed their hands several times to calm themselves down. Although winter had already entered and the weather had become colder, they were still somewhat warm after pushing the cart all the way and stretching their muscles. Want to do this?
The snoopers looked suspiciously in the direction that Manager Zhang left just now. It seemed that there was... the ice cellar of the palace...
Do you need ice in this weather?
Suddenly thinking of something, the snoopers were all alert. They took one last look in the direction of Shaoguang Pavilion, turned around and left in a hurry. Not long after, they left the palace and disappeared into the deep alley...
During the morning court the next day, many ministers noticed the strange behavior of Xia Zhihe, the Minister of Rites. They looked at Prince An with hatred almost the whole time, while Prince An still looked indifferent and hated Xia Zhihe. Turn a blind eye.
It waited until the end of the court meeting, everything came to an end, and when the emperor on the dragon throne was about to get up and go to court, Xia Zhihe suddenly took a few steps out of the array of civil servants.
"Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for me!"
This cry of grief instantly attracted the attention of all the ministers. Even the emperor stopped and sat back on the dragon chair.
"Master Xia, what do you want me to do for you?"
"Report to the Emperor! I want to sue Prince An for poisoning my eldest daughter!" Xia Zhihe shouted urgently, with pain and anger on his face. He raised his hand and pointed directly at Prince An who was standing not far away!
As soon as these words came out, the ministers present were in an uproar and started talking one after another.
In fact, everyone has heard about this matter, and most people have even inquired about it specifically, so it is not too surprising, but I did not expect that Mr. Xia, the Minister of Rites, would sue Prince An in court, and pointed out that he was Poisoning your own daughter?
This is a big deal!
But what really surprised them was that, being identified like this, why did Prince An still stand there as if it had nothing to do with him? Even the expression on his face has not changed?
Prince An's reaction naturally fell into Xia Zhihe's eyes. Although he had doubts in his heart, he opened his bow without turning back. He glanced somewhere vaguely. After receiving a positive response, he calmed down and prepared to take the shot. The action of coming down.
You can’t go wrong with this! Your Highness has received the exact news. The daughter born by the Sun family must be dead!
At this time, Xia Zhihe only had in his mind the immediate plan, His Highness's appreciation and recognition of him after the achievement, as well as the prospect of a bright career in the future and the ambition of becoming a highly respected minister. As for the daughter he had sent out to sacrifice, for him, wasn't it the role of his daughter to be able to contribute to him as a father?
