Qin Zeng then came in and glanced at Mu Wan with disgust, "You are so arrogant and arrogant, you deserve your surname Mu."
Qiuniang wiped off the makeup on her face, and she turned out to be Qian Ling in disguise. She said: "I put Requiem Powder in the tea. She won't wake up for a while. The master and the girl are talking here, and the slave girl goes to guard outside." On."
Qian Ling turned around and got out of the carriage.
Li Qingyi said: "Is Mu Wan's biological mother the concubine of Chongnan? Or even the queen? But neither the concubine nor the queen can leave the palace at will, and there are a lot of people guarding her at all times. How can she go to Chongnan?" The border, and even happened with Mu Rencheng... from beginning to end?"
"You have forgotten that fifteen or sixteen years ago, that woman probably had not entered the palace. Or maybe, the other party could not come to the border, but Mu Rencheng could go to Kyoto in Chongnan, right?"
Chongnan and Dajing have been trading with each other for nearly a hundred years. As long as you have a reasonable identity, entering Chongnan is a very simple matter.
There are even many Dajing people who live in Chongnan all year round, commonly known as Xizuo.
Of course, there are also many Chongnan people in Dajing.
Mu Rencheng is the son of General Mu. He obviously moves much more freely than others. He probably went to Chongnan many times when he was with the army at the border, so it is not surprising to meet a noble woman.
Li Qingyi knocked his head, "Look at my head, I didn't even think of this. But with the status of these two people, I am afraid they have experienced many twists and turns, even gave birth to a child, and the woman entered the palace. Could it be that she has something to do with her?" Mu Rencheng eloped and was captured again."
"If that's the case, the woman must have deep grievances, so it's not surprising that she secretly colluded with Mu Rencheng."
"How could Nian not notice that her child had been changed? Even if the child was born one day earlier, it would still be different from the newborn. It's not like Nian had never given birth before Sister Mu Wan, how could she not notice at all? ? Unless two people gave birth at the same time, but this is too coincidental. Or, the woman's pregnancy was younger than Nian's, and when Nian's belly started to give birth, she used some method to induce labor and cause the child to be born prematurely. "
"No matter what method they used, in short, it is certain that Mu Rencheng colluded with the Chongnan royal family." Qin Zeng glanced at Li Qingyi and said, "I asked you to deal with Mu Yan and Mu Wan for me, but you gave up the Mu family's lair. Stabbed."
"I didn't expect that Mu Wan would be involved in such a big event... She just said that one day she would be able to travel between Dajing and Chongnan at will. The implication was..."
The national power of Dajing and Chongnan is almost the same. It is obviously impossible to swallow up each other in a short time, unless the Mu family rebels and takes Dajing's country into their hands.
"Mu Rencheng is really a dream come true."
Qin Zeng sneered, "I have asked the emperor. The emperor said that when he went to Chongnan with the army, although he was not incompetent, he did not show any superb military management skills. He was just as mediocre as General Mu. He was the first He first came to prominence because a small group of troops he led was ambushed by the enemy. In the end, Mu Rencheng defeated the many with less. Since then, he has been enlightened and repeatedly established military exploits on the battlefield. Four years ago, he first took command. He went on an expedition and shot and killed the eldest prince of Chongnan, causing the Chongnan court to tremble. For such a remarkable achievement, the Mu family was greatly rewarded and reached its peak. It was at that time that Concubine Mu was canonized as a noble concubine, and the fourth prince also had a relationship with the prince. Qualifications to compete.”
"I've heard about this too. It seems that after the eldest prince was shot, the queen of Chongnan was quickly deposed. Concubine Li Guifei was also implicated in that turmoil and died miserably. After that, the sixth prince His biological mother, Concubine Hui, became the queen."
"Shortly after the title of Concubine Hui, the old emperor of Chongnan's health became worse day by day, and his attacks on me, Dajing, never stopped. The father and son of the Mu family resisted the invasion of Chongnan at the border and won nine out of ten battles, so they were The people praise and love him, and the Mu family army's reputation is getting bigger and bigger."
"So, the Mu family can be today only because of Mu Rencheng's contribution. No wonder Mu Wan kept saying 'if it weren't for my father'. But judging from Concubine Mu's reaction, there is definitely something wrong with Mu Rencheng's military exploits, and it can't be ...Is it a fake war?"
When Li Qingyi said this, he even thought it was impossible.
Qin Zeng also frowned and said nothing, obviously he couldn't figure it out either.
Li Qingyi murmured: "The imperial court raises so much grain and grass and transports it to the border every year. Is it possible that all these things are used by the Mu family to enrich themselves?"
Qin Zeng shook his head, "The emperor is not a foolish king. He has been wary of the Mu family for many years. If they were really so bold, no matter how deep the foundation of the Mu family is, it would have been dug up long ago. How come it's still here now?"
Li Qingyi couldn't think of anything anymore, so he said: "Let's not talk about it for now. Let's find a way to find out who Mu Wan's biological mother is. Maybe we can find the real owner and many mysteries will be solved."
"Mu Wan's biological mother must have power and great power, otherwise Mu Wan would not be so confident and say that she will be a princess when she arrives in Chongnan."
"So, it shouldn't be difficult to identify the concubine who entered the palace more than ten years ago and now holds power."
Qin Zeng had to take care of this matter himself. Li Qingyi couldn't help at all. She looked at Mu Wan: "What should she do?"
"Of course I will send her back. Whatever happened tonight, just treat it as a dream."
"Concubine Mu will be suspicious if she finds out that Mu Wan is not dead tomorrow?"
"It's just that the assassination failed. I will arrange for people from the Criminal Department to fool him."
Li Qingyi sighed a little, "If Concubine Mu hadn't caught your attention, Mu Wan would not have been ruined, and Mu Rencheng's military exploits would not have been implicated. This is truly self-inflicted. This Mu Wan is also pitiful..."
Qin Zeng didn't feel pity for Mu Wan at all, "Mu Wan was not stupid at first, but Mu Rencheng painted a big picture for her too early, which made her arrogant. She ignored her relatives and sisters and put herself down." From a position that is too high, everything she does seems crazy. If she had grown up as the biological daughter of the Nian family, she would never have become so stupid."
In the final analysis, Mu Rencheng was too impatient and couldn't help but tell his yet-to-be-grown-up daughter about his longing.
*****
Mu Mansion.
Nian had just come out of Mrs. Mu's Changqing Courtyard. She was sulky and tried her best to suppress it.
It wasn't until Ling Xiaxuan entered her daughter that she couldn't restrain her anger, "The facts are right in front of you, your grandmother still wants to bluff me!"
The daughter she had raised for more than ten years turned out to be not her biological child!
What about her children?
She couldn't even remember correctly how many children she had given birth to!
But Mrs. Mu insisted that there was something wrong with Mu Wan's mind and that everything was her own delusion, saying that she had a vicious heart and no family affection in her eyes, which was why she did such evil things.
Mu Yan was also shocked by Mrs. Mu's remarks. She said, "Grandma must be hiding it for my father."
"Your father..."
Speaking of her husband, Nian was even more disappointed. She did not stop Mu Rencheng from taking a concubine, and even offered to take a concubine for him, but the other party said that she was focused on building a career and had no extra thoughts on women!
But secretly, he replaced her child with another woman's child, and she had to endure hardships to raise it for fourteen years!
"According to Yu Xiang, your father loves that woman very much?"
Nian sent people to find Yu Xiang to confront Mrs. Mu, but the people in Meiyuan said that she hadn't been seen all afternoon. Nian didn't know that she was taken away by Qin Zeng, so she suspected that the old lady had sent Yu Xiang away. Xiang was silenced.
Mu Yan knew that her mother had been severely hit, but she didn't want her mother to be deceived. "Yu Xiang only listened to a few words and didn't know what was going on between his father and the woman, but his father was very fond of Mu Wan," she said. We all see his love."
"Oh, do you love the house and the bird?"
Mu Yan had many wounds all over her body and could only lie on the bed. She reached out to Nian and said, "Mother, you still have me."
When Nian heard this, she burst into tears, "Yan'er!"
Mu Yan held her mother's hand tightly and said, "Mom, didn't you feel anything abnormal when you gave birth?"
"Because I was pregnant with twins, my belly was very big. The next few months were very hard, and the delivery was even more difficult. Fortunately, I had some experience when I gave birth to your brother, and I was able to hold on. I know it clearly. I remember that I gave birth to two children and heard two different cries, one was stronger and the other was weaker."
Mu Yan said carefully: "The weaker one is born with..."
Nian's heart tightened, and she shook her head and said, "I don't know. The girls and women were coming and going in the delivery room, and the sound of opening the door came from time to time. I don't know if someone brought other children in, or put mine in." Take the child out..."
"Grandma must know about this! If she hadn't secretly arranged it, with so many people around, how could no one find out? If Mu Wan hadn't wanted to harm me, it wouldn't have caused so many things later. My mother might have regarded her as her own. My daughter will live her whole life without knowing the truth!”
Nian gritted her teeth, "I have been married into the Mu family for more than ten years. I have taken care of my husband and raised my children, and I have been filial to my parents-in-law. I have done nothing wrong, and yet they deceived me like this! I don't even want to know who the woman outside of him is! I I just want to know where my child is!”
"I'm afraid only my grandmother and father know about this. My father told Mu Wan that her mother was of high status, but my grandmother refused to tell her, maybe because of that woman."
"But if your grandmother really valued that woman, why was it that Mu Wan was cut in half under the emperor's order, and she didn't even say a word of mercy?"
Mu Yan shook her head, "I don't understand either. Could it be that Mu Wan's death can cover up something? Maybe grandma doesn't want others to know what father had with that woman?"
Nian frowned, "Maybe it has something to do with that woman's identity, but I really can't think of a person who has a noble status and lives far away? Aren't the most noble women in Dajing all in the capital?"
Mu Yan's head seemed to be struck by lightning. She opened her eyes wide, "Then it's not in Dajing!"
Nian stood up suddenly, "I remembered..."
