"Sister Xue'er."
Xue Mu stepped forward and began to be attentive.
Sure enough, Nangong Xue looked at him with an indifferent expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just want to ask you, why did the Queen come to us?" Xue Mu found a reason.
Nangong Xue asked, "Where is Eunuch Cao? Why didn't you ask?"
"I'm not very familiar with Eunuch Cao." Xue Mu didn't blush or panic. Practice made perfect when he lied.
Nangong Xue looked at him and snorted: "What? Do you think you are familiar with me?"
"This is natural. It can be said that Sister Xueer is the closest to me."
Before Xue Mu finished speaking, Nangong Xue complained: "According to you, I am the closest, but what about the people in the house?"
"Sister Xue'er, I haven't finished speaking yet. I mean that sister Xue'er is one of the people closest to me." Xue Mu explained seriously.
Nangong Xue:
This time, she even made a face, turned around and continued walking forward.
It seems that this time the coaxing is not good.
Xue Mu was not in a hurry. He explained to Nangong Xue, "Actually, the woman I had dinner with just now has an identity."
"What does her identity have to do with me?" Nangong Xue was speechless: "Besides, why are you telling me this? I don't care at all."
"ah?"
Seeing this, Xue Mu pretended to say: "Okay then."
As he said that, he slowed down slightly and followed Nangong Xue.
When Nangong Xue saw that he really stopped talking, she felt itchy.
She glanced at Xue Mu, and finally said angrily: "But as a Qianhu of the Divine Catching Division, you have three wives and four concubines. This is not a good example. Moreover, our Divine Catching Division is under strict security, and any family member will not We have to find out, although I don’t want to know the identity of that person, but you have to tell me whether she is innocent, otherwise what if something happens in the future?”
After hearing these words, Xue Mu felt that Nangong Xue really could advance and attack, and retreat and defend.
This will bring it all back together.
So he explained: "Actually, she is Xu Jie's daughter."
"Xu Jie?" Nangong Xue was obviously a little surprised when she heard this.
The name Xu Jie was naturally familiar to her.
So Nangong Xue quickly asked: "Is it Xu Jie, the head of the Household Department who was imprisoned half a year ago?"
Xue Mu nodded.
This surprised Nangong Xue even more.
How come Xue Mu and Xu Jie's daughter are together?
Nangong Xue asked: "What does she want from you?"
Faced with this kind of thing, Xue Mu naturally had to tell the truth: "When Master Xu was still in prison, she once begged me to take her in, but I didn't agree."
"Then what? She got stuck with you." Nangong Xue was speechless. If this is the case, then this daughter of Xu Jie is very shameless.
Xue Mu continued: "Later, she was targeted by bad guys, and I had no choice but to help. At that time, Xu's house had been ransacked, so I had no choice but to take her home."
"You!" Nangong Xue was very angry: "You just brought a woman home so casually?"
"She is just a weak woman, she will never do anything bad." Xue Mu said with a smile.
Nangong Xue gave him a white look: "I mean, you did bad things!"
"I don't, I am a gentleman." Xue Mu replied.
"I bother."
Nangong Xue naturally didn't believe his lies.
But out of curiosity, she still tried: "So what is your relationship now?"
Xue Mu knew that if they had already had a bridal chamber, and the bridal chamber was quite deep, Nangong Xue might not even be able to talk to him.
In order to keep his place in the Divine Catching Division in the future, Xue Mu could only say against his will: "The relationship between the tenant and the landlord."
"What's the relationship?" Nangong Xue didn't understand for a while.
"She lent herself to live in my house and repaid the cost of living by cooking for me, cleaning the house and other tasks."
When Nangong Xue heard Xue Mu say these words, she couldn't help but complain: "You are really unreasonable to let a weak woman do this."
"It's good that I just let her cook. After all, I have to pay monthly rent." They all want to do odd jobs.”
Nangong Xue said angrily: "The salary of the Divine Catcher Division is still too small for you? Then if you have the ability, go to His Majesty and tell him."
Xue Mu took the opportunity to change the topic: "Sister Xue'er, actually I have my own ideas about keeping Xu Ruyan here."
"Why, you can't see it, and you still want to covet her?" Nangong Xue complained: "She is a wealthy lady, and she is as beautiful as a flower, so don't even think about it."
"My conditions are not bad, no matter what, I think I'm pretty good-looking." Xue Mu first praised himself, and then said to her: "Actually, it's because I think there is something wrong with Mr. Xu's case. .”
Hearing this, Nangong Xue pulled him aside and asked in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense." Xue Mu explained: "I investigated some secretly."
"What did you investigate?"
"Master Xu had already investigated the land annexation and bribery in Nanhua County before that." Xue Mu replied.
Nangong Xue asked curiously: "How did you know?"
"Master Xu has a register on hand, which records the land allocated to all the people in Zhangjiazhuang. Most of the people are much less than the actual number, so Master Xu should be able to guess that someone secretly bribed these fertile fields."
After listening to Xue Mu's words, Nangong Xue thought for a while.
Then she asked: "Why did you tell me this?"
Xue Mu replied: "Because I believe Sister Xue'er, like me, also wants to understand Mr. Xu's case. If he is really wronged, then we have to make this matter clear."
Nangong Xue was silent for a while, and finally said: "Okay, but this matter must not be allowed to be known to other people. No one in the Divine Catcher Division can tell it."
"clear."
Xue Mu said happily at this time: "Anyway, in the Divine Catcher Division, I can only trust Sister Xue'er. Sister Xue'er is very capable and kind-hearted. Only you are willing to help me."
"Don't be such a talker." Although Nangong Xue interrupted him, he felt a little happier listening to these sweet words.
The mood that was a little depressed just now gradually returned to normal.
At this time, Eunuch Cao, who had been observing from behind, saw the two talking and laughing, so he stepped forward and asked, "Two adults, the Queen is still waiting for us in the palace. We must hurry up."
"good."
They came all the way to the Queen's Kunning Palace.
"Wei Chen has met the Queen."
"Flat body."
At this moment, Lan Jiuyun looked at them.
Then he asked Nangong Xue: "Has the person behind the cat demon case been identified?"
"Back to the Queen, we can basically conclude that this is Xiao Zhuzi, the eunuch of Xin Zheku." Nangong Xue explained.
Lan Jiuyun asked: "Is there only one person?"
"Yes."
She obviously couldn't believe it, "There was so much panic before, but there was only one little eunuch."
Then she looked at Xue Mu: "I heard Eunuch Cao say that you discovered the mastermind behind this?"
"Actually, it's not all true. We all worked hard to find it." Xue Mu naturally did not dare to take the credit.
Hearing this, Lan Jiuyun nodded.
She also knew that Xue Mu was a low-key person, and because of this, she thought highly of him.
At least once this case is solved, His Majesty will have an easy explanation.
No more mistakes.
Lan Jiuyun was happy: "Okay, you have worked hard on the case. Tell me what rewards you want. The Ai family will reward you one by one."
Nangong Xue said, "Serving the imperial court is our obsession. Madam, we don't need rewards."
"That's what you said." Lan Jiuyun said with a smile: "In order to handle the case, you must have put in a lot of effort. If you have merit, you will be rewarded. This is the truth since ancient times. Just say it, it doesn't matter."
She looked at Xue Mu and wanted to ask him: "Xue Mu, what do you want?"
Xue Mu took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I happen to have something that I would like to ask your Majesty for help with."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
When Nangong Xue heard this, she seemed to realize something. She reminded in a low voice: "Don't do anything inappropriate."
And Xue Mu said: "The previous cat demon case was caused by Xiao Zhuzi. The reason why he did it was entirely for the sake of Concubine Yu in the cold palace. Five years ago, the concubine accidentally pushed the eldest prince into the water, and thus He was thrown into the cold palace by His Majesty and stayed there for five years."
"However, according to Xiao Zhuzi's words, Concubine Yu did not push the eldest prince into the water, but the eldest prince jumped in by himself."
"so."
Xue Mu raised his head at this time and once again cupped his hands and said: "Xue Mu would like to implore your Majesty to re-investigate this matter and restore Concubine Yu's innocence."
After hearing these words, Eunuch Cao was frightened.
He never expected that Xue Mu would take the initiative to talk to the Queen about this matter for a woman in the cold palace.
He was sweating profusely, wondering how Lan Jiuyun would feel.
Nangong Xue on the side was also a little helpless.
She knew that Xue Mu had this idea before.
Originally, she thought that Xue Mu would not really express it.
But I didn't expect that I would actually dare to say it.
Although it is a bit reckless.
But I have to say that Xue Mu’s character made Nangong Xue appreciate him even more.
After Lan Jiuyun heard about this, he thought about it for a while.
Finally she said: "In that case, I will go to His Majesty with you. How about you explain it to him yourself?"
Lan Jiuyun is also smart. She just agreed to reward Xue Mu and Nangong Xue.
If she couldn't do this, she would indirectly regret it.
It would be better for Lan Jiuyun to take Xue Mu directly to see His Majesty and ask him to tell His Majesty everything about it.
As for whether Xue Mu dares to do this.
It all depends on his own creation.
After Xue Mu heard this, she agreed: "Then I'll trouble you."
"Okay, then you wait for me here for a while, and the Ai family will come out after changing their clothes."
Immediately afterwards, Lan Jiuyun walked behind the screen, and the maids around him began to change his clothes.
Nangong Xue took the opportunity to say: "While the Queen has not left the palace yet, you should quickly ask her to take back her life. Are you crazy? Go to see His Majesty for the sake of an unknown woman in the cold palace."
"Sister Xue'er, if I weren't here today, you might be the one who said these words." Xue Mu said calmly.
Hearing this, Nangong Xue was stunned for a moment.
Yes.
She had also thought about whether she should seek innocence for Concubine Yu.
However, when I think of His Majesty sitting above, he is the real murderer who ruined his family's happiness.
Nangong Xue couldn't let go for a while.
Xue Mu also knew that Nangong Xue refused to see Emperor Qing.
In this case, if you want to save Concubine Yu, you have to take action yourself.
And he also wanted to meet the so-called Emperor Qing head-on.
So it was not yet time to recover his eyesight, but he also wanted to use language to judge whether what those people said was true?
The Qing Emperor that Xu Ruyan said was a cold-blooded person who launched a mutiny and finally crossed the river and demolished the bridge.
Leng Mei regarded Emperor Qing as her lifelong enemy and wanted to help Daxia.
Murong Dai hated the so-called Emperor Qing even more.
After all, her mother died in his hands.
Therefore, no matter what, Xue Mu had to "listen".
Seeing that he had decided to go, Nangong Xue no longer stopped him, but reminded him: "Your Majesty is suspicious by nature, and he is the king of a country. What he says is an imperial edict. If he is unwilling to mention the past, then you can Don't mention it again, otherwise not only will you fail to rescue Concubine Yu, but you will also lose your official position as the Divine Catcher Si Qianhu."
"Sister Xue'er, I understand."
Xue Mu was also pleased, because apart from Xu Ruyan and Leng Mei, only Nangong Xue would tell him this.
By the way, there is also the cheap master, who may also give such advice.
Not long after, Lan Jiuyun came out.
I saw her changing into formal clothes, looking magnificent and like the mother of a country.
But under this solemn decoration, her childish face could not be hidden.
Just touch the skin lightly, or even blow it to break it.
It's a pity that Xue Mu is just a guardian of the Divine Catcher.
Touch the queen's skin and she will die on the spot.
Therefore, Xue Mu naturally did not dare to do anything outrageous.
But if there is a chance in the future, I can come to the palace again.
Then go to Concubine Mo Xier Wan Guifei and press her head.
Thinking of this, Xue Mu remembered Mo Xier's action of licking her lips.
Endless aftertaste.
"Let's go."
"yes."
In this way, Xue Mu followed Lan Jiuyun from Kunning Palace to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
At this time, Zhao Hongyin was enjoying the dance.
He looked at these women from the Western Regions. They all had smooth skin and tall figures. They were simply the best in the world.
I felt a little itchy in my heart.
But it seems that there is more than enough ambition but not enough power.
Perhaps thinking of this, I suddenly felt irritable.
He waved his hand and said impatiently: "Let's go, let's go."
When the eunuch Feng Xi saw this, he immediately said to the maids in the audience: "Okay, let's go quickly."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The maids all left.
Feng Xi saw that Zhao Hongyin seemed to be in a bad mood, so he asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you want this old slave to rub your shoulders?"
Zhao Hongyin waved his hands and nodded.
Feng Xigang was ready to take action.
The guard outside the door came to report: "Your Majesty, the Queen and the Divine Catcher Qianhu Xue Mu have an audience."
Hearing this, Zhao Hongyin raised his head and wondered: "Queen? God arrests Si Qianhu?"
He didn't quite understand why these two people asked to see him together.
Finally he responded: "Come in."
Soon, Xue Mu followed Lan Jiuyun into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Just stepped in.
He felt an inexplicable force in front of him.
This person is powerful.
Powerful enough to take his breath away.
There is a master in the palace!
This was his first reaction.
Sorry, I have stopped updating for the past two days. My mother has been hospitalized and had an operation. She has been very busy these two days. Alas, now I feel that the elderly feel much older when they are sick. Fortunately, the operation was completed today and there is no serious problem. .
Everyone, please pay more attention to your parents and check your health more often.
