Chapter 19 Closure
One mouthful after another like this, he ate the three pieces of meat cleanly in front of Yue Xi.

Seeing the way the prince ate the meat, Yue Xi knew that the taste was not bad.He secretly regretted not being able to take a sip just now, and now he can only drool three thousand feet in secret.

After eating, Chu Xinyuan's mood improved, and he said lightly: "How about the result of the investigation?"

Yue Xi hurriedly reported: "Go back to the prince, I have already asked, the two servants are against the king... That woman is the first to move, so she did it!"

Chu Xinyuan's eyes turned cold, and he said: "The people in the palace should clean up a batch, you go and tell Liang Zhongxing to let him do it!"

Isn't that woman powerless?He was able to knock down two servants!Looking at her fists and kicks before, although her punches were weak and her feet were shapeless, her moves were weird, seemingly very simple and very useful.

Although she is only a three-legged cat, she is the eldest daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and where did she learn these things?

It's hidden deep enough, it really is harboring evil intentions!
Yue Xi said: "Yes!"

As the cronies of King Liang, they all know that the emperor has not established a crown prince for a long time now, and Chu Xinyuan, who just returned with his military exploits, has become an upstart in the capital, and various forces are paying attention. Their influence has become a sieve.

Chu Xinyuan wanted to keep a low profile, but he also pretended not to know. Anyway, those people were in irrelevant positions and could not participate in the secrets around him.

On the surface, those two mansions belonged to Prince Liang's mansion, but if they were really servants of Prince Liang's mansion, how dare they be so bold?
Yue Xi agreed and was about to leave when Chu Xinyuan said again: "Also, I don't want to see that woman in the Zhumiao Courtyard again! Send an order to close the Zhumiao Courtyard, and anyone who enters or exits will be shot to death!"

Yue Xi was startled, but immediately responded: "Yes!"

Mu Qingyu punched again after he was full, and found that he was tired, and his body fusion seemed to be better. Now he can already have three tenths of his previous ability, and he is also very satisfied. Does this mean, don't How long, after her body is fully fused, will she be able to look like her previous life?

When she first entered this body and couldn't fuse, she thought she had taken away her original body unintentionally. Even though her hands were stained with blood in her previous life, she would never hurt innocent people.But after a careful search, the original body is really gone.When she felt humiliated and chose to commit suicide, she left without leaving a trace, leaving her with a complete memory.

Mu Qingyu sweated profusely. Using the abandoned small kitchen, he drew cold water from the well to heat it up. After taking a bath, he closed his eyes and took a nap comfortably.

Just as he was drowsy, he was awakened by a clanging sound.

When I went out to have a look, I saw that the dilapidated courtyard gate had been closed, and the dilapidated courtyard wall had been demolished and rebuilt. The newly built wall was much higher than the original courtyard wall.

Her eyes narrowed and she raised her voice, "What are you doing?"

A supervisor of the housekeeper said: "By the order of the prince, this courtyard is closed, and anyone who enters or exits will be killed!" After finishing speaking, he put his hand on the handle of the knife and stared at Mu Qingyu.

Close the Bamboo Miao Courtyard?If you go out, shoot and kill?

Mu Qingyu was about to laugh angrily, she was the only one in the entire Bamboo Miao Courtyard.Although there is a well and a small kitchen inside, but there is no food, but the outer walls are completely closed. If it is the original body, then it can only starve to death in this yard, right?
Very good, Chu Xinyuan!

She turned and went back to the house.

Seeing that she was not causing trouble, the mansion sneered slightly in his heart, and continued to direct the supervisors to tell them to hurry up.

They dare not neglect.

Butler Liang dealt with a group of guards who were lazy, slippery and committed crimes in the mansion. There were more than 30 people in the mansion. They didn't dare to follow in the footsteps.

The next day, Zhumiao Courtyard was completely closed.

The Zhumiao Courtyard was originally just the most remote northwest corner of the Liang Palace, except for the gate, there were walls on three sides. Now the courtyard wall has been built high and replaced with a taller and thicker iron gate. The courtyard door was locked from the outside.

The entire Zhumiao courtyard is like a big prison cell, with four walls and only the sky above.

Bihua Pavilion.

Mei Jingxue is playing the piano.

She played very inattentively, she had asked Yang Liu to invite her several times, and her cousin didn't come to Bihua Pavilion to listen to her play, so what's the point of her learning the piano?
Just as she was bored, the servant girl Yang Liu hurried over excitedly: "County lord, county lord, there is good news!"

"What good news?" Mei Jingxue immediately pushed Qin away, "Did my cousin agree to come to listen to Qin?"

"That... that's not true! The lord left the house in the afternoon. He seems to be on some errand. He may not be back until two days later." Yang Liu muttered for a while, and then said quickly: "Master, don't be angry, the reason why the lord I didn't come because I had to do an errand. When the prince comes back from the errand, he will definitely come to listen to you playing the piano."

Mei Jingxue thought about it, and then asked lazily: "What is the good news you are talking about?"

"The surname Mu was imprisoned in the Zhumiao Courtyard by the prince, and the Zhumiao Courtyard was also closed, and no one could enter or leave. There is no food there. In a few days, the woman surnamed Mu will starve to death. ... County Lord, do you think this is good news?"

Mei Jingxue was really happy when she heard that, and said, "Really?"

She had known for a long time that it was impossible for her cousin to like that bitch Mu Qingyu, but she did not expect her cousin to be so beautiful, but she was even happier.Asked: "When did it happen?"

Prince Liang's mansion is too big, and it is far away from Bihua Pavilion, so if you don't inquire, you really don't know.

"It happened the day before yesterday."

Mei Jingxue gave her a dissatisfied look: "You only found out about what happened the day before yesterday? What do you do for food?"

"County Lord forgive me!" Yang Liu quickly knelt down.

In the past two days, Mei Jingxue has been thinking of a way to get close to Chu Xinyuan, and if she can't, she is thinking of a way to invite Chu Xinyuan to Bihua Pavilion. She is also trying to find a way for the county magistrate to find out if the prince is in the mansion. Still going out, how can I care about someone surnamed Mu?

Mei Jingxue soon showed a smile again: "It's been two days, you say that if you don't eat for two days, how hungry will you be?"

Yang Liu shook her head, she couldn't imagine.But she quickly said again: "I must be very hungry, I am so hungry that I can't walk, maybe I will eat leaves!"

Imagining such a miserable state, Mei Jingxue smiled, and she said with great interest: "I thought of a fun thing, Yang Liu, you go and help me with something!"

As she spoke, she whispered a few words in Yang Liu's ear.

It was time for dinner, because Bihua Pavilion had sent a maid, Yang Liu, to order some dishes two quarters of an hour ago, and the kitchen was ready.

But they don't understand, Bihua Pavilion's dishes are already very delicate, why do they come here to ask for a big and fragrant sauced elbow?Not only that, but it is also required not to be too cooked, just put it in a small pot, and then a small stove filled with charcoal.

However, in view of Mei Jingxue's status in Prince Liang's Mansion, they didn't say anything, and everything was handled properly.

But the servants who delivered the food to Bihua Pavilion were stunned again, because the county lord Jingxue asked them to send them outside the courtyard of Zhumiao courtyard, and set up a table at the entrance of the courtyard. The delicate dishes were placed on the table, and the stove On the table, the charcoal fire is burning vigorously in the stove, and the sauced elbow in the small pot is deliciously stewed.

It was the northwest wind, and the aroma of the sauced elbow drifted into the Zhumiao courtyard along with the wind.

Yang Liu almost died of laughter, she had a look of admiration for Mei Jingxue.

It was still her county master who was smart enough to come up with such a good idea.

A person who has been hungry for two days, when he is so hungry that he can eat two mouthfuls of grass, smells such a delicious sauced elbow, it must be as uncomfortable as scratching his heart and lungs.

Mei Jingxue was also very proud, she just wanted to make Mu Qingyu feel uncomfortable.

She called out: "Sister Mu, cousin, are you okay? It's dinner time again, and my cousin doesn't allow anyone in or out of the yard, so I have to eat with you outside and do my best." Mmm, this fried fish is beautiful and delicious, the fish meat is so tender that it melts in your mouth. Also, this pearl ball is really fragrant, fresh and soft..."

Yang Liu also said: "County Master, our sauced elbow is almost ready, it's a big one, what should I do if I can't finish it?"

Mei Jingxue said: "Then feed the dog!"

"Yes, yes, we can feed the dog what we can't finish! It's delicious! It's delicious!"

The master and the servant were like five hundred ducks croaking outside the courtyard. Mei Jingxue was extremely happy. The only fly in the ointment was that there was a big lock on the gate of the courtyard, so she couldn't see what was going on in the courtyard.

Yang Liu said again: "Master, is it too wasteful for us to feed such good food to dogs? What if someone wants to eat it?"

Mei Jingxue smiled and said: "If someone wants to eat, as long as she barks like a dog, the county lord will generously reward her with food!"

Yang Liu clapped his hands and said, "The county lord is so kind. If someone doesn't want to starve to death, he should quickly bark a few times like a dog. Such a big elbow is enough to feed him for a day."

The two masters and servants looked at each other as they spoke, with smug smiles on their faces.

However, they didn't wait for the dog to bark, but they waited for a black object above their heads, which fell down and just hit the table, and then splashed together with the vegetable soup on the table.

Mei Jingxue was startled, she hurriedly leaned back, she fell to the ground on her back, but she couldn't escape, a lot of splashes were splashed on her body, more on Yang Liu, she hurried to help Mei Jingxue up, the black mud sticking to her body I don't know what it is, it seems to be mud, dirty, making them spit out everything they just ate.

A voice in the yard said lightly: "Stay well in the yard, but there are dogs barking outside the door, how annoying!"

That familiar and hateful voice, who else is it not Mu Qingyu?

Mei Jingxue gritted her teeth angrily: "Mu Qingyu, are you still alive?"

Mu Qingyu's voice came again: "Why, do you think it's difficult to walk on the Naihe Bridge, do you want to take someone with you? Sorry, I don't have the habit of walking dogs!"

While speaking, another mass of black objects fell from the sky, and landed exactly where Mei Jingxue and Yang Liu were standing.

Just now, they were facing the table, and they couldn't order a table of dishes, but now they directly covered the two of them tightly.

Mei Jingxue screamed.

It's a pity that this yard is so remote, she can humiliate Mu Qingyu here unscrupulously, without worrying that her cousin will know her side, but now she is covered in black mud, and no one else comes to help her.

Her body was dirty and smelled strange, she couldn't bear it for a moment, and said in a hateful voice: "Mu Qingyu, don't be complacent, let's see how long you can be complacent!"

If you can't starve to death for two days, what about four days?What about five days?Sooner or later you will starve to death!
The master and servant left in embarrassment.

In the courtyard, Mu Qingyu was dressed in simple attire, with his sleeves rolled up high, and what was thrown out of the wall just now was a bucket of mud.

There used to be a small kitchen here, but it has not been used for a long time and needs to be repaired.

Mu Qingyu was in a good mood, fetched water from the well in the afternoon, made mud, and started working in full swing.Before this was done, Mei Jingxue's master and servant began to chatter outside. Seeing that there was still half a bucket of mud left, she simply got some black ash from the stove, added water, and mixed it into a thin mud, and used it Come to beat the dog, the effect is really good!

In order to keep the mud from being wasted, she also moved a ladder that was dug out from the utility room this morning.

The dog left, all was quiet, the fire on the stove was still on, and the sauced elbow was still emitting an aroma, Mu Qingyu curled her lips, she was wrong, she should have stuffed the muddy sauced elbow into Mei Jing's mouth just now. Snow's mouth.

However, I'm too lazy to bother.

Mei Jingxue thought she was going to be too hungry to walk, but she didn't know that the sauced beef on the table in her kitchen was still steaming.

Mei Jingxue left in embarrassment, this matter was so embarrassing, of course she didn't tell anyone, even Yang Liu didn't dare to mention it again.

She thought, let Mu Qingyu be proud for a day or two, and see how long she can be hungry.Why should I care about someone who is about to starve to death?It's better to think about how to get closer to my cousin!

Mu Qingyu, the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was never mentioned again.

After all, this so-called eldest daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials had never appeared in the circle of ladies before she came out of the cabinet, and even many people in the capital only knew Mu Manqi, the miss of the Mu family, and did not know that there were other daughters.The daughter of the late Mrs. Shangshu couldn't get on the stage, so she had to rely on climbing the bed and climbed up to Liang Wang's people. It was rumored that the heat in the capital had already passed.

No one approached the closed Zhumiao Courtyard, only Yue Xi occasionally glanced over there, regretting that he didn't take a bite of the fragrant barbecue.That taste, that aroma, will never be there again.

King Liang said to the outside world that the princess is not in good health and she is recuperating in the mansion.

Mu Mingyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, didn't ask any questions, so others naturally didn't care.

Everyone in Prince Liang's mansion guessed that the woman in Zhumiaoyuan was dead, and King Liang also issued a gag order that no one was allowed to mention Zhumiaoyuan or that woman again.

Mei Jingxue was the happiest when the news reached Bihua Pavilion.

She thought that after clearing the obstacles, Chu Xinyuan would definitely marry her.

It's a pity that Chu Xinyuan leads the errands assigned by the emperor, and she leaves early and returns late every day, so she doesn't have many chances to see her.

The night is dark, and there are few lights in the distance. This is the place north of the west city. Most of the people living in the west city are ordinary people, and the people living in the north city are mixed and poor.

This place is close to Beicheng, with a mixed population, and there are not many houses that can afford lights.

A black figure quietly came out of the window of an ordinary, almost shabby inn. He crossed the ridge and headed west.

Two quarters of an hour later, he came outside a house.

It was an ordinary dwelling, without courtyard walls, and a house with few entrances.

At the room to the west, he stopped, and took out a bamboo tube as thick as a finger from his pocket.He first dipped his finger in the saliva, wet the window paper, cut a hole, then put the bamboo tube in, and blew into it.

A wisp of smoke filled the room.

Calculating that the time was almost up, the man showed a wretched smile in his eyes, took out a knife, and started to pry open the window.

After a while, the latch of the window was broken, he pushed it, the window opened, put his hands on the window sill, and the whole person rolled into the house.

He was very skilled, and after rolling in, he turned over and stood firmly.

The room is not big, what you can see is a bed, occupying a third of the place, a dressing table, very simple, only a comb, a grate, and a cheap silk flower, but it shows that the owner of the room is a girl. identity.

The curtain of the bed was hanging down, and the person on the couch was fast asleep.
