The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 199
Just as Mu Xu sat down in the study for a while, Feng Ziying walked in under the guidance of the servant. When he saw Mu Xu, he cupped his hands and said, "The official came suddenly, and I didn't notify the family in advance. I hope the prince will forgive me."

After waving his hand to signal him to sit down first, Mu Xu asked, "What happened to make you come to see me in such a hurry?"

Feng Ziying replied, "Because the son asked me to investigate the affairs of the Zhen family before, and now that there is a result, I will come to tell you. After months of strict surveillance, it finally paid off. Last night, we The gang has caught several suspicious people, and they want to secretly rescue Zhen Baoyu."

"Oh, what are the gains?" Mu Xu suddenly became interested.

"Those guys were quite stubborn at the beginning, but Zhao Dawei personally tortured them, and they didn't even last an hour, and they recruited everything." Feng Ziying said with a sneer,

"As expected, these people are indeed from the Maitreya Sect, and they also admitted that they obeyed the orders of Maitreya Sect's holy female policewoman, Fairy Huan."

"What, what did you say the saint's name was?" Mu Xu asked with wide eyes.

Although Feng Ziying didn't know why Mu Xu lost his composure when he heard about Fairy Jing Huan, she still replied, "I didn't ask the saint's real name, I just know that the senior members of their sect call her Fairy Jing Huan."

Mu Xu has calmed down now. In fact, when he found out that the monk and the other monks were Maitreya demons, he had some guesses, but after all, there was no way to prove it. Today, he finally answered his long-standing doubts.He breathed a long sigh of relief, and continued to ask, "Then why did the Maitreya Sect care so much about Zhen Baoyu?"

Feng Ziying shook her head, and said regretfully, "Those people don't know what's going on. The purpose of their visit this time is to rescue Zhen Baoyu from the capital as ordered by the holy lady." Speaking of this, he hesitated. After a while, he still gritted his teeth and said, "I see that Zhen Baoyu looks ignorant and ignorant. The way to go here is unless we catch the saint, or..."

"What do you think, just say it straight, why hesitate?" Seeing that there was something unfinished in Feng Ziying's words, Mu Xu couldn't help asking.

Feng Ziying got up and looked around the study room, and after confirming that no one was eavesdropping, she said in a low voice, "Then I will speak bluntly, I think there is another person who may know the truth about the collusion between the Zhen family and the Maitreya Sect." He pointed in the direction of the palace.

Mu Xu first raised his hand to stop him from continuing, and then warned with stern eyes, "You must not say this in front of others. Once it gets out, let's not talk about the reaction in the palace. The official can give you a serious crime of disrespecting the royal family, and I will not be able to protect you at that time."

"Yes, I'm a little embarrassed for a while." After Mu Xu's reminder, Feng Ziying also figured it out, and she couldn't help but feel lucky that she didn't report it to the emperor.According to what he had thought before, both the late emperor and the current emperor hated the Zhen family, so there should be no resistance to this idea, so he didn't consider it so thoroughly.

After taking a few steps in the study, Mu Xu was really having a hard time making a decision. In fact, he had thought of Feng Ziying's method a long time ago, but in the end he gave up.Not to mention other reasons, Concubine Zhen's identity is enough to make people think about it, unless the Supreme Emperor is resurrected from the dead and he does it himself, or even the emperor Tuzhen will have to be caught blind.

Of course, it's not completely impossible. There is still one person who can do this, and that is the Empress Dowager.What made Mu Xu hesitate was whether to bother her old man. He thought it was unnecessary before, but looking at the current situation, if he wanted to quickly open the situation, he might have to start with Concubine Zhen.

After thinking about it for a long time, Mu Xu finally made up his mind, and then told Feng Ziying, "Just pretend you don't know about Concubine Zhen's matter, and I will tell His Majesty in person. What you have to do now is to think about it." The method is to install some internal support to the Maitreya Sect by arresting a few people. As for Zhen Baoyu, don’t relax, it’s best to send more people, lest those people jump the wall in a hurry and do something unexpected.”

"Yes, I understand." Feng Ziying nodded, seeing that Mu Xu had nothing else to say, she got up and left.

After Feng Ziying left, Mu Xu returned to the back house, greeted Daiyu, and headed towards the palace.When he arrived at the palace, he went to the Qinzheng Palace and asked an eunuch, and learned that Tu Zhen was accompanying the queen to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden, so he had to ask the eunuch to take him to the imperial garden again.

However, after Tuzhen finished handling the government affairs today, he suddenly became interested in boating, so he sent someone to invite the queen to go to the Imperial Garden Lake to play together.At this time, he and Empress Cao had just got off the boat and were sitting in the gazebo by the lake, chatting casually.

While talking, he saw a little eunuch leading Mu Xu, he couldn't help being a little surprised for a moment, and couldn't help quizzing curiously, "Cousin why is he free to come to the palace today, it doesn't mean that you don't come out of the gate recently, two Aren't you going to the door?"

Mu Xu first bowed to the emperor and empress, and then got up and replied, "I don't want to go out, there is really a matter that must be decided by His Majesty."

Empress Cao saw that they had something to say, so she took the initiative to speak, "Since Your Majesty has something to do, the concubine will leave first." After obtaining Tuzhen's consent, she was about to get up and leave, but suddenly remembered Daiyu's recent situation, Then he asked Mu Xu, "I don't know if sister-in-law Lin Biao is still in good health, I remember that she is going to give birth soon, right?"

"Thank you for your concern, my wife is fine, and I think she will give birth in a few days." After listening to Mu Xu's answer, Empress Cao reminded her that Daiyu must inform her when Daiyu gave birth, and then she gradually moved away surrounded by Gong'e. go.

After Empress Cao left, Tu Zhen asked, "Cousin can talk now, what is it that I need to make up my mind about?"

Mu Xu didn't hold back, and told Feng Ziying's report today, as well as his own thoughts.After hearing this, Tu Zhen frowned, "This matter is really difficult, is there really no other way?" Seeing Mu Xu shaking his head, he thought about it, and finally hesitated, "In this case, then cousin and I will go Ask the emperor's grandmother what she means, and see what she says."

This is what it should mean, and Mu Xu naturally would not refuse, and the two of them went straight to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and when they got there, they told the Empress Dowager about the matter, but she did not refuse, but said, "This Zhen family has always Cunning, I'm afraid she might not tell the truth."

Mu Xu actively offered advice, "Grandmother told her that as long as she is willing to tell the truth, His Majesty will pardon the members of Zhen's family as appropriate. Otherwise, according to the national law, their family will be executed."

Tu Zhen on the side also said, "Yes, I can agree to this request."

Hearing what they both said, the Empress Dowager also agreed, "Forget it, then I'll try it." Then she ordered to go down and drive to the Ciyuan Hall.

Seeing the figure of the Empress Dowager entering the palace, Tu Zhen, who was waiting outside, asked worriedly, "Do you think Concubine Zhen will be honest?"

Mu Xu pondered, "If I were her, I would definitely choose to compromise. After all, the entire Zhen family is locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If there is no golden words from His Majesty, their family will be extinct."

The two chatted at the door for about half an hour, and a palace maid came out. She bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, please come in."

Tu Zhen looked at Mu Xu, but heard him say, "Your Majesty, you're going. I'm waiting for your good news."

"Cousin is saying..." Tu Zhen's eyes lit up, and Mu Xu nodded slightly, "If she doesn't want to cooperate, why should she see His Majesty in person? In my opinion, she wants His Majesty to give her a guarantee. If you don't ask too much, just promise her."

"Cousin is here for a while, I'll see if she has this idea."

After Tu Zhen went in, he didn't make much effort, and saw him and the Empress Dowager coming out. Mu Xu rushed forward to meet him, "How is it? Did she explain?"

Just as Tu Zhen was about to answer, the Empress Dowager raised her hand, "It's not too late for you to go back to the former court, I'm too lazy to listen to those people's tricks, so as not to dirty Aijia's ears again."

Since the Empress Dowager said so, the two had no choice but to stop talking and send her back to the Compassionate Ning Palace.
