The Beloved Imperial Consort - Chapter 130
[130. Chapter 130 Gardenia]
“Sister, is this the beginning?” Mu Xiyao smiled and turned to look at Helian Minmin’s stiff face, not minding her indifference to him at all.
“If you can really catch the spy, the sooner the better.” Helian Minmin nodded in agreement. Although Mu Xiyao’s seductive appearance was abhorrent, the traitorous party that was stuck in her throat made her even more hated.
“Aunt Fang is an old man in the palace, and she is very skilled in perfumery and medicine. Today, you all listen to her instructions and undergo examinations one by one.”
“Auntie, you are working hard.
” His face was particularly sharp.
“There is a scent on the letterhead, which is very light. This is a kind of fragrance powder that has been touched for a long time, and the skin has been stained for many years, and the traces left by the sweat. Later, you will each put your hands in the basin and put your hands in the water. Stay for a while. What the result will be, the servant will explain later.”
Mu Xiyao stared at the women in the room, and sighed in her heart, this rhetoric is hard to find, and it is a flaw if you are not careful. Fortunately, Dawei’s female relatives were used to incense, which saved her troubles.
“The girl from the Wu family’s Confucius Institute will come first, and then it will be the turn to serve the Qi family.” Mu Xiyao pointed at him and ordered everyone.
Mr. Wu obeyed and stood up and saluted respectfully. Let the maids in the yard go up one by one for my aunt to check.
After a while, everyone’s hands were soaked in water, and their hands were stretched forward, so that the masters could see clearly.
Helian Minmin looked at the pair of wet palms, but could not see any change except for the hanging water droplets, and raised her brows in doubt.
“The people in Miss Wu’s courtyard do not have any incense on their hands.” Aunt Fang replied with a straight face to Concubine Helian Zheng and Concubine Mu Fang.
Mu Xiyao nodded and motioned to continue.
When it was the turn of the people in Kong’s house, two people’s hands turned slightly yellow.
“This is a reaction to long-term exposure to lily incense. It doesn’t match the scent of the letterhead.”
Kong’s heart fell instantly. This Aunt Fang is very skilled, she can test it out by using incense.
After that, Qi’s people were the same as Wu’s, and nothing changed.
Everyone looked at the three groups of people with more than a dozen hands, and they all quieted down for a while. According to Aunt Fang, it was clear that no one was found!
I have seen this scene of trouble and checked it greatly, but I saw that the results were so few, and it was a waste of time. Everyone in the room became active, and the eyes staring at Mu Xiyao became very strange, especially the high-ranking people in the backyard.
The Mu Clan was so excited to attract the public, and she still patted her heart in front of Zhengfei’s assurance that the thief would be arrested today. Now that this is the result, how will she end? This time, the woman lost all face.
“Sister, why didn’t my sister understand this result? Or is it because you found the wrong person?” Su Linrou held the silk handkerchief and sneered while covering the corners of her lips.
“Ms. Mu, is this the guarantee you gave to this concubine?” Helian Minmin’s face was extremely hesitant. I thought she was absolutely sure that she should be full of evidence, but I didn’t expect that she was also a big talker. Knowing that it is so unusable, it would be better for her to directly arrest all the suspects and torture them to extort confessions.
Mu Xiyao took a look at everyone’s expressions, and felt “sad” in her heart.
Oh, in this backyard, except for Mrs. Zhang, no one really likes to see her. Is this character so bad? Mu Yaonu was very dissatisfied with her lack of popularity. The Sixth Highness left with no one to support them. These people were too lazy to do what they promised on the surface. It was really not smooth enough.
“Sister wait a moment, didn’t the result come out already?” Mu Xiyao chuckled, her left hand swayed and pointed at a person, her dark eyebrows raised high.
“What, how long do you want to play?”
Everyone’s eyes followed her palace fan, and they all looked at Mrs. Wu. When it was clear that it was the elm knot who had always been quiet and honest and timid, his expression changed to an uncontrollable one. words.
Wu Shi was pulled out by Mu Xiyao, dizzy for a moment, he staggered a few steps with his legs soft, and knelt in the middle with a trembling body, his eyes were full of panic, and he couldn’t even say a word of excuse. It looks like the timid and unsightly person on weekdays.
Su Linrou disliked the shivering Wu Shi, turned her head and snorted, looking at Mu Xiyao with great disdain. “Younger sister can’t catch anyone, just point at someone to fool everyone? Could it be that the concubine side thinks that everyone here is brainless?” The
people in the room generally agreed with Su Linrou’s doubts. This Wu clan is so useless, if it can be meticulous, then they are not all confused people with no eyesight?
Mu Xiyao listened to Su Linrou finding fault, stared at her for a while, until she saw the woman on the other side’s scalp numb, and then she pouted and said something that made the other party’s forehead congested.
“If Concubine Su didn’t bring her brains to Zen Ruoyuan today, the concubine can wait for you to go back to rectify and come back again.”
This is to say that Su Linrou is stupid and everyone present did not want the two concubines to meet unexpectedly. Extremely excited. Since entering the Prince’s Mansion, there has never been a conflict in the back house on the bright side. Is this momentum a signal to fight head-on?
“You!” Su Linrou was so angry that she threw her veil, looking at Mu Xiyao’s eyes were scarlet. “Don’t think that you can act recklessly if your Highness favors you. There is still a serious prince and concubine in this mansion. You Mu Xiyao are just a concubine! You are also the prince’s side concubine, so what qualifications do you have to humiliate me?
” Lian Minmin sat up and watched the conflict between the two intensify, without any hint of dissuasion, but happily watching the play.
Su Linrou was originally lacking in brains, and it’s a good thing that Mu Xiyao is now entangled with her. She was always welcome if she could add to Mr. Mu.
Seeing that Concubine Zheng didn’t speak, the two concubines sat quietly and did not dare to cross.
Mu Xiyao was obviously very angry when she saw her convulsion posture. I was really worried. Now that Zong Zhenglin was away, Helian Minmin would definitely not be happy to help her ground the woman again. Is this to force her to do it herself?
“Concubine Su, don’t worry, you just sit down and listen to the interrogation. If you have any brains at that time, you won’t need a concubine to talk about it. What kind of humiliating words, let alone talk about it.” Just grab your pig brain and get out of here, it’s hard to watch.
“How dare you talk nonsense!” Su Linrou was furious for a while, and raised her right hand to greet Mu Xiyao’s face.
“Bold, it’s the other way around!” Helian Minmin was shocked, and hurriedly had someone pull Su Linrou back, holding her in the seat, not daring to let go.
Mother Zhao took the female guard given by the Sixth Highness to protect Mu Xiyao for a long time. Even if Concubine Zheng did not appear, Concubine Su would not be able to reach the master.
Helian Minmin’s face was ugly, Su Linrou just wanted to see her and Mu Xiyao’s good show, so she gave her such a big slap?
“Sister Su, if you dare to make a fool of yourself, this concubine can only ground you. You can think carefully before you act.” He stared at her gloomily. Throw her in the face. Can Mu Xiyao be bumped into at this moment? Her goddamn belly doesn’t give birth for a day, and it can’t be touched by anyone, especially in front of her!
“Mister Mu, you continue to ask questions. If you can’t catch someone today, you can guarantee that this concubine will remember it clearly.” The implication, if you dare to speak out, you will also bear the punishment today.
“Yes. Concubine, let’s get down to business~~” Mu Xiyao’s voice dragged on, squinting at Su Linrou for a moment, and then continued to stare at Wu to attack.
“Qi’s maid’s hands didn’t change color when soaked in water. That’s because she is a little…averse to incense, so she hasn’t used incense for a long time.” Mu Xiyao’s words are very particular, and a smart person knows what she’s saying.
Qi’s own incense hooked Zong Zhenglin, and was cleaned up by the Sixth Highness, and he still has fear to this day. How dare you touch the incense for a little more, for fear that if His Highness finds out, he will dig out the old things and settle them with her.
“As for you,” Mu Xiyao shook her head regretfully looking at Mrs Wu, “but you are too smart.”
“Show her the two pieces of paper.” Mu Xiyao asked Mo Lan to copy the secret report. Hand it to Mr. Wu, who was kneeling below, for a look.
“After you went back yesterday, you kept the courtyard door closed for a long time. Not only did you recruit a confidant to ask questions, but you also walked around the courtyard several times. In the end, you were even more worried and added something to the water tank. Let everyone in the courtyard eat the boiled thick tea without knowing it.”
“But you may not think that, after this news, the concubine added a lot of material to your remaining maid’s clothes and hair accessories on a whim. But, why can’t we find anything today? Mrs. Wu, don’t you think it’s unusual?”
Mu Xiyao shook the fan, watching the woman’s face change drastically, and she was in a good mood for a while. Let you pass the news to tie people up, the retribution in this world is easy to come.
“Why, you still want to make a quibble? Then do you want to ask Aunt Fang to use other methods to test the clothes on your maid’s body? Oh, by the way, and the water tank, you shouldn’t have time to finish it. What’s in it? Could it be the miraculous secret medicine in Shu? Even the smell can be concealed, so it’s still practical…”
Every time Mu Xiyao said a word, Wu’s face turned pale.
Counted! This woman was so cunning, and she actually let her mess up and ruin her own cleverness. Really helpless. I have avoided it for so many years, and after today, this life is no longer my own.
Oh, it’s funny too. When will this life be yours again? This life has been manipulated by others, and now it is just to pay off debts.
Seeing the woman in the backyard kneeling in the center, Mrs Wu, who was shivering and pale, suddenly stopped trembling, lightly adjusted her temples, and stood up slowly.
“The side concubine’s scheming, the slaves will not lose the wrong.” Wu’s face was calm, and the eyebrows were all indifferent. Where is the initial sluggishness. It looks rather arrogant.
“If you talk like this, you will be worthy of your eyes.” Mu Xiyao’s mission was completed, and she didn’t hesitate to say a few nonsense.
Only then did everyone notice Wu’s bright eyes. At first glance, there is a sense of surprise.
Helian Minmin stared at Mrs Wu for a long time before looking back at Mu Xiyao. I really have to admire her skills.
As for Su Linrou, her face was purplish red, and she wished she could hide back to Fanghuayuan immediately to avoid anyone.
“Come here, take this woman down and send it to the government for strict handling.” Helian Minmin ordered sharply. She has no right to deal with criminals in private because it is about betraying the party.
“Wait!” Mu Xiyao stopped Tian Fushan’s subordinates.
“Ms. Mu, what do you mean?” Helian Minmin was annoyed. The prisoner has also been found out. How long does she expect to point fingers in the Chan Ruo Garden? Is this to take the opportunity to show off her contribution to the Prince’s Palace?
Mu Xiyao ignored Helian Minmin’s questioning, but narrowed her eyes and stared at the center of the main room very coldly, not afraid of the woman who looked at her.
“Wu, or should I call you ‘Gardenia’?”
