Six years later, the princess came back with three cubs

Chapter 136 I Didn't Come To Settle Accounts With You
The queen mother praised her for being sensible and reasonable, but there was a hint of impatience hidden in the smile between the corners of her eyes and brows.

As the empress dowager, her honor and disgrace belonged entirely to the son of Emperor Dongfeng, so she naturally didn't want Mu Ning to ruin his son's plan.

He simply took Mu Ning's hand, and persuaded him earnestly: "Aijia knows that you and your children don't like being detained in this palace. It's hard for you mother and child these days. Since the emperor is kind, you should clean up. Go out of the palace, go back to your own house, and live a more comfortable life, what do you think?"

Mu Ning replied obediently, but secretly sneered in his heart.

Dare to love, you also know that this girl is having a bad time in the palace, but she is pretending to be deaf and dumb during this time. Now I am in a hurry, why did I go so early.

Take your time, I have to let you have a taste of getting angry too.

Mu Shi'an's death, Wu Zongxian's investigation for several days did not find out why. After seeing the time limit given by Emperor Dongfeng, Wu Zongxian had to ask Emperor Dongfeng for a grace period.

However, Emperor Dongfeng didn't have this patience, and directly wanted to sentence Liu Lijie to death.

It is obvious that Emperor Dongfeng wants Liu Lijie to be a scapegoat.

As the leader of the criminal prison, Wu Zongxian was upright and upright. Naturally, he could not allow unjust, false and wrong cases to happen in his own hands. He fought hard with Dongfeng Emperor, and was finally reprimanded by Dongfeng Emperor, and was fined to contemplate behind closed doors for half a month.

Dongfeng Emperor's headstrong and arbitrary decision was really beyond Mu Ning's expectation.

Although Liu Lijie's status is low, he is Liu Zhaoyi's younger brother anyway, and his father is also a courtier of Dongfeng, so he was killed directly, which shows that in a dynasty where imperial power is supreme, human life is as cheap as an ant.

"Miss Mu, Liu Zhaoyi is here."

Hearing the announcement from the palace maid, Mu Ning sighed softly in his heart, got up and went out to meet him.

When Liu Zhaoyi came here at this time, Mu Ning didn't think about it other than asking the teacher to blame him, and he was ready to be blamed by Liu Zhaoyi.

However, after sitting down, Liu Zhaoyi picked up the tea cup, leisurely and indifferently, as if he came to chat with Mu Ning, and there was no trace of anger on his face.

For a moment, Mu Ning couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Liu Zhaoyi was selling in the gourd, so he couldn't help but speak out.

"Ms. Zhaoyi, the fact that you have made my brother is very regrettable. You have been in the palace for a long time, and you have won the emperor's favor. If you open your mouth to ask the emperor for mercy, this matter may have a turn for the better."

Liu Zhaoyi glanced at her and smiled, with a mocking voice.

"You don't have to be nervous, Bengong didn't come to settle accounts with you."

Liu Zhaoyi's attitude was really strange, and Mu Ning answered the words carefully, "The daughter of the people also learned that you and Mr. Liu are siblings in the Tingwei court."

However, Liu Zhaoyi did not answer her words, but talked about tea instead.

"Your tea tastes good. It cools you down and refreshes you. What kind of tea is it?"

Hearing what Liu Zhaoyi said, Mu Ning had no choice but to talk about tea, "It's mint tea made by a folk girl. If you like it, you can take some back to drink."

"Well, this palace has exactly that intention."

Mu Ning didn't know what to say for a moment.

He also leisurely asked her for tea, obviously in a good mood, did he not care about Liu Lijie's life, or did the Liu family have other plans?
Without waiting for Mu Ning to guess, Liu Zhaoyi took the initiative to talk about it.

"Are you wondering why Bengong isn't sad and anxious when his own younger brother is about to be executed?"

Mu Ning was helpless, "Yes, Minnv is indeed puzzled."

Liu Zhaoyi winked at the maid, and the maid took the maid out of the palace knowingly.

When only she and Mu Ning were left in the hall, Liu Zhaoyi suddenly laughed.

After a while, Liu Zhaoyi stopped and looked at Mu Ning with a smile.

"I have been looking forward to this day for a long time. When I heard that Liu Lijie was sentenced to death, I was so happy that I couldn't wait to come to you, because I couldn't find anyone else to share this joy. "

Mu Ning had a faint guess in his heart, "Miss Zhaoyi, are you at odds with Liu Lijie?"

"He's not my brother at all."

Liu Zhaoyi sneered, and tears suddenly fell from her eyes.

"15 years ago, Li Jie was unfortunately infected with smallpox and was sent to Zhuangzi to recuperate. When I saw him again, it was already half a year later. Because he is the only child in the family, everyone has spoiled him since he was a child, and he has developed a lawless temperament. , got into so many misfortunes, if it wasn't for cleaning up his mess, I wouldn't have entered the palace. Even if I lost my life, I have never regretted it, who made me just be such a younger brother."

Liu Zhaoyi didn't say any more, but the tears flowed more and more fiercely, which made Mu Ning realize that there must be something strange about Liu Lijie's life experience.

Liu Zhaoyi wiped away the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief, and stared at her with bright eyes that had been washed with water.

"Are you wondering why Ben Gong wants him to die?"

Before Mu Ning could speak, Liu Zhaoyi suddenly burst out with hatred.

"Last year on my father's [-]th birthday, the emperor granted me permission to go home to celebrate his birthday. It was also on that day that the nanny who served Li Jie when I was a child found me and told me the truth."

Mu Ning conjectured, "Your brother Liu Lijie died in that smallpox?"

Liu Zhaoyi nodded, "Father raised a concubine after he got married, and the concubine's life was not good. He died after giving birth to a son. My mother is strong and does not agree to take the son of the concubine back. At home, his father had to continue to keep him outside.

No one expected that after my younger brother died of smallpox, my father actually concealed the news of his death and let the son from the outside room replace Li Jie and become the eldest son of the Liu family!
My mother fainted on the spot when she learned the truth, and later she was depressed because of this matter, and she died at the beginning of this year. "

Mu Ning didn't show it on the face, but he speculated in his heart whether Mu Shi'an's death was related to Liu Zhaoyi.

But the idea was immediately dismissed.

Liu Zhaoyi could just kill Liu Lijie directly, there is no need to provoke the Mu family.

"I knew that he would not end well, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon."

Liu Zhaoyi's tone showed the joy of revenge, "All these years, my mother and I have cleaned up the mess he caused. This time, without the help of my mother and me, he will definitely die!"

"Your father, Mr. Liu, I'm afraid he won't let his son die unjustly?"

"Him? The emperor just rewarded him with the position of a servant for my sake. A petty official in charge of the stables. He's not a fart. He's scared to death. How dare he enter the palace?" Plead with Emperor Dongfeng."

Knowing Liu Lijie's background, Mu Ning was relieved.

After talking about her thoughts, Liu Zhaoyi's mood gradually stabilized.

"When are you going to leave the palace?"

Although it is not sure whether Liu Zhaoyi asked this question out of temptation like the Queen Mother, Mu Ning was happy to sell the other party's favor.

"It's only been two days."

Liu Zhaoyi stared at her for a while, then suddenly smiled, "Mu Ning, while you are still in the palace, if there is anything I need to do, you can speak up, and when you leave the palace, maybe you and I will not be able to do anything in this life." It's hard to meet again."

Mu Ning wanted to say no, but his eyes accidentally glanced at the sachet on Liu Zhaoyi's waist, and he suddenly had an idea.

"If Empress Zhaoyi is free, how about helping a folk girl embroider a sachet?"
