Chapter 67 Doubt

"It's okay." Jinxi said.

"I don't know which palace lady it is, but even the princess dares to design it!"

"Hmm..." Jin Xi was taken aback, "How do you know?"

"I'm not stupid. The concubine and Lord Xu have no relationship. How could it be... oops! Tonight, it's impossible for them to really..."

"No." Jin Xi said with a cold face, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Ah... By the way, the concubine is so smart, she will definitely be able to catch that villain." A Feng chuckled.

"Um……"

"What's wrong with you? You don't look very happy?" A Feng leaned in front of her and made a face at her.

Jinxi had a complicated expression, she turned her face away from him.

"What's wrong?" Afeng asked, "Tell me, what can I help you?"

"Go away." Jinxi bypassed him and walked straight forward.

"Where are you going so late?" Afeng asked.

"Go to the next post."

"What invitation?" Afeng chased after her and followed her.

"It's not your business!"

"..."

As soon as the door opened and closed, the room was instantly quiet, only the sound of burning coals remained.

Cheng Muqing couldn't sleep, so she picked up a book and turned the pages.

Seeing this, it was all night.

The next day, Cheng Muqing slept all morning, and when he woke up, he went out of the house wearing an indigo gown with the same color bezel, and a simple hair accessory.

Before leaving, she took a look at Lin Heng.

Cheng Muqing asked him, "Where is Ah Feng?"

Lin Heng dodged his eyes and only said, "I have something to do when I go out."

Cheng Muqing didn't like to ask the truth, since Lin Heng deliberately concealed it, she could only turn a blind eye.

Perhaps because of guilty conscience, Lin Heng didn't mention to go with her this time.

Sitting in a carriage, he walked for a long time before arriving at the East Palace.

Outside the palace, Tao Yushan's maid, Lulian, was already waiting at the door.Seeing her, he immediately led her in and sent her to the door.

Manxianglou.

The store owner was busy when he suddenly saw a young man passing by the door.With a flash in his eyes, he turned and walked into the backyard.

After opening the back door, the shopkeeper bowed respectfully.

"Two things, one is to stop Princess Qi on the road tomorrow." The young man said coldly, "One is to throw those two people out."

"Huh? Throw it out..."

"I'm afraid the Golden Eagle Division will find out, so clean up and don't make too much noise when you go to the Golden Eagle Division to play drums."

"Yes." The shopkeeper cupped his hands.

Beat the drum and inform the man who voluntarily admitted to killing the Minister of the Ministry of War, let him take the next step - to confess his accomplice.

East Palace.

"Princess Qi, slaves and maidservants will not go in." Lulian said respectfully.

Cheng Muqing gave an "um" and stepped into the bedroom.

The palace is magnificent, and the layout has a bit of the simplicity of ordinary people's homes.

"Here we come." Tao Yushan greeted her out the door.

"Wan'an, the princess and concubine." Cheng Muqing bowed.

"Don't you hate these rituals the most?" Tao Yushan smiled and reached out to help her.

"If you hate it, you hate it." Cheng Muqing stood up straight, with a dignified posture, "but you have to do it."

With a smile on Tao Yushan's lips, she pulled her to the round table and poured tea for her, "I have asked Lulian to look for the portrait you gave me yesterday. But, I haven't found that person yet."

"Thank you, ma'am." Cheng Muqing thanked, "Actually, I had too much hope."

Yesterday when she asked Lin Heng to paint landscape paintings, she also asked him to draw a portrait of that court lady.

Lin Heng is becoming more and more skilled in painting now, and she can draw seven or eight parts of the portrait just by her description.

And Tao Yushan lived in the imperial city, so it was easy to inquire about a court lady.

"Is this court lady the one who led you the way yesterday?"

"Yeah." Cheng Muqing nodded, and smiled, "Yesterday was really a lively day."

"Yes." Tao Yushan sighed softly, and sat on the stool, "Last night, I almost stayed alone in the empty room."

"If he doesn't come back, you can just go to sleep." Picking up the tea bowl, Cheng Muqing said nonchalantly.

"Who is as big-hearted as you?" Tao Yushan said angrily, "Let's talk about that maid."

"What's the use of talking about her? I'm afraid she has been dealt with long ago... But, I can't figure it out." Cheng Muqing rubbed his temples, "Why did she do this? Did she like Xu Jin and wanted to destroy the marriage between Xu Liang and his family? Do you still like the prince? Sigh... If you want to say that the people I have offended recently are the Chancellor of Dali Temple and Liang Xianrong. The former is dead, and the latter... It should be impossible to design such a nonsense."

She could still see that Liang Xianrong had affection for Xu Jin.

"No one will attack without a reason." Tao Yushan said quietly, "It must be beneficial to her to do this. You can think about what happened because of this incident."

Cheng Muqing thought for a while, his eyes were a little dark.

"Ok?"

"Shangshu of the Ministry of War drowned..." Cheng Muqing said in a deep voice.

"You suspect there is a connection between those two events?"

"Actually, it's a bit of a stretch to link these two things together, but the one who drowned was Liang Xianrong's father."

The air was quiet for a moment.

"Thinking about it carefully, will some thieves take advantage of you and divert everyone's attention. Then, Shi Yi transferred the tiger away from the mountain and asked Liang Shangshu to go out?"

"To be honest, I think so too. However, the matter between Xu Jin and me...no one knows." Cheng Muqing was puzzled.

"How can there be an impenetrable wall in this world?" Tao Yushan said, "Maybe it was revealed by a certain eunuch who was in the palace back then."

"That's right." Cheng Muqing smiled, "I was young and frivolous back then, and I dared to pester him like that."

"It's okay, you just chatted with him from time to time, and you didn't do anything beyond the rules." Tao Yushan also laughed, "I always thought that when you like someone, you will be as passionate as fire. Unexpectedly, it is Gentle like a long stream of water."

"Because I'm not sure if he likes me or not." Cheng Muqing put down the tea bowl and stood up, "If he doesn't like me, I'll stick it up anyway, wouldn't it be embarrassing? Besides... I only treat him in a certain way based on goodwill."

"Are you leaving?" Tao Yushan got up to see her off.

"Well, that maid, please pay attention again. If you can, help me find out from Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice what the maid who wet his clothes looks like." Cheng Muqing said, "It's still early, I think Go to the Golden Eagle Division."

Tao Yushan understood and walked her to the door.

Cheng Muqing originally wanted to go to the Golden Eagle Division to inquire carefully, but he didn't expect to hear that the case had progressed as soon as he arrived at the door.

To her surprise, the matter was exactly the same as what she and Tao Yushan deduced.

In order to avenge Mrs. Liang, the prisoner teamed up with two other maids who were also indebted to Mrs. Liang to direct her, Liang Xianrong, and Xu Jin's affairs.Liang Xianrong and Xu Jin are all because of the introduction of the Minister of the Ministry of War, and she is because she has a lot of public opinion, so she must be able to attract people's attention.

Cheng Muqing raised a question: Why did the three of them enter the palace banquet?

A flying eagle replied: They all came with Liang Shangshu, and they all checked with Liang Shangshu's family steward.

Cheng Muqing originally wanted to apply to see the two maids, but was naturally rejected.

How could criminals let irrelevant people follow their opinions?
She was reluctant to glance at the gate of the Golden Eagle Division, and left helplessly.

"Master Yan is back!"

Before he took a few steps, Cheng Muqing suddenly heard a cheer from within the Golden Eagle Division.

"Master Su is coming back, I wonder if he will bring souvenirs this time..."

Cheng Muqing was stunned for a moment, and didn't recover until Jinxi pulled her sleeve.

After returning to the palace, there was another latest news——

Quan Li said that although the case of Shangshu of the Ministry of War has ended, there are still rumors among the people that it was actually Shangshu Liu of the Ministry of Justice who killed Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

Those three are all scapegoats.
