Chapter 19 Closed

 Just like this, one bite after another, he ate the three pieces of meat like a whirlwind in front of Yue Xi.

Yue Xi looked at the prince eating the meat and knew that the taste was not bad. He secretly regretted not being able to take a bite just now, and now he could only secretly salivate for three thousand feet.

After eating, Chu Xinyuan felt better and said calmly: "How are the results of your investigation?"

Yue Xi hurriedly reported: "Back to the prince, I have already asked, those two palace servants were against the king... the woman was the first to make a move, so she took action!"

Chu Xinyuan's eyes turned cold and he said: "It's time to clean up a group of people in the palace. Go tell Liang Zhongxing and tell him to go ahead and do it!"

Isn’t that woman very weak? She was able to knock down two palace servants! Looking at her previous fists and kicks, although her punches were weak and her feet were shapeless, her moves were weird, seemingly simple and very useful.
Although she is just a three-legged cat, she is the eldest daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs. Where did she learn these things?

It's hidden well enough, and it's really harboring evil intentions!

Yue Xi said: "Yes!"

As close confidants of Prince Liang, they all know that the emperor has not established a prince for a long time. Chu Xinyuan, who has just returned with military achievements, has become a new noble in the capital. Various forces are paying attention to it. After the establishment of Prince Liang's palace, it was occupied by his good brother.

Their power has been deployed as a sieve.

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

Those two palace dings are obviously from Prince Liang's Palace, but if they are really servants of Prince Liang's Palace, 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 Zhumiao Courtyard again! Send an order to seal Zhumiao Courtyard, and anyone who comes in or out will be shot without mercy!"

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

After eating and punching again, Mu Qingyu found that she was tired and her body's integration seemed to be better. Now she can have three-tenths of her previous ability and she is very satisfied. Does this mean that she doesn't want to

How long will it take for her body to be completely integrated before she can be the same as she was in her previous life?

When she first entered this body, she couldn't fuse with it. She thought she had taken away the original body unintentionally. Even though her hands were stained with blood in her previous life, she would never hurt innocent people. However, after a careful search, she found that the original body was really gone.

When she felt humiliated and chose to commit suicide, she left without leaving any trace, leaving only her complete memory.

Mu Qingyu sweated profusely and used the abandoned kitchen to get cold water from the well to heat it up. After taking a bath, she closed her eyes and took a nap comfortably.

Just as I was drifting off to sleep, I was woken up by a tinkling sound.

When I went out to take a look, I saw that the broken courtyard door had been closed, the broken courtyard wall had been torn down and rebuilt, and the new wall was much higher than the original wall.

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

A supervisor of the palace said: "By the order of the prince, this courtyard is closed. Anyone who comes in or out will be killed!" After saying that, he pressed the handle of the knife and looked at Mu Qingyu with eager eyes.

Seal the Zhumiao Courtyard? If you go out, shoot and kill?

Mu Qingyu almost laughed angrily. She was the only one in the entire Zhumiao Courtyard. Although there was a well and a small kitchen inside, there was no food, but the outer walls were all sealed. If it was the original body, it could only survive in this courtyard.

Starve to death?

Very good, Chu Xinyuan!

She turned around and went back to the house.

Seeing that she was not causing trouble, the governor sneered in his heart and continued to instruct the supervisors to hurry up.

They dare not neglect.

Butler Liang punished a group of servants and guards who were lazy, playful and guilty in the mansion. There were more than thirty people, and they did not dare to follow in his footsteps.

The next day, Zhumiaoyuan was completely sealed.

Zhumiao Courtyard was originally the most remote northwest corner of Prince Liang's Mansion. Except for the courtyard gate, it was surrounded by walls on three sides. Now the walls of the courtyard have been built high and replaced with taller and thicker iron gates and a big lock.

The courtyard door is locked from the outside.

The entire Zhumiao Courtyard is like a large 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 the piano. So what was the point of learning the piano for her?

When I was bored, the maid Yang Liu came quickly and excitedly: "County Lord, County Lord, there is good news!"

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

"That...that's not the case! Your Majesty went out in the afternoon. It seems that he went out to do some errands. Maybe he won't be back for two days." Yang Liu murmured, and then quickly said: "County Lord, don't be angry. The reason why Your Majesty

I'm not here because I have to run an errand. When the prince comes back from his errand, he will definitely come to listen to you play the piano."

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

"The prince named Mu has been imprisoned in Zhumiao Courtyard by the prince. Moreover, Zhumiao Courtyard has been sealed and no one can enter or exit. There is no food there. In a few days, the woman named Mu will starve to death.

.County Lord, do you think this is good news?"

When Mei Jingxue heard this, she was really happy and said: "Really?"

She had known for a long time that her cousin would not like that bitch Mu Qingyu, but she did not expect that her cousin did it so beautifully, but she was even more happy. She asked: "When did it happen?"
p>

Prince Liang's Mansion is too big and far away from Bihua Pavilion. I really don't know if I don't inquire.

"It happened the day before yesterday."

Mei Jingxue looked at her dissatisfied: "You only found out today about what happened the day before yesterday? What do you do for food?"

"My Lord, please forgive me!" Yang Liu quickly knelt down.

In the past two days, Mei Jingxue was thinking of Fa'er to get close to Chu Xinyuan. When she couldn't, she thought of Fa'er to invite Chu Xinyuan to Bihua Pavilion. She was also helping the county chief think of ways to find out whether the prince was in the mansion.

You still go out, where can you take care of someone named Mu?

Mei Jingxue soon showed a smile again: "It's been two days. How hungry would a person be if he didn't eat for two days?"

Yangliu shook her head, she couldn't imagine it. But she quickly added: "I must be very hungry, so hungry that I can't walk. Maybe I will eat leaves!"

Imagining such a miserable and embarrassing look, Mei Jingxue smiled, and she said enthusiastically: "I thought of a fun thing, Yang Liu, go and help me with something!"

As she spoke, she whispered a few words into Yangliu's ear.

It's dinner time. Since Bihua Pavilion sent its maid Yang Liu to order the dishes two-quarters of an hour ago, the kitchen is also ready.

But they didn't understand. The dishes at Bihua Pavilion were already very exquisite. Why did they go out of their way to ask for a big and fragrant pork elbow in sauce? Not only that, but they also asked that it not be overcooked, just use a small pot to serve it, and then

Need 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 done properly.

But the servants who delivered food to Bihua Pavilion were startled again, because the head of Jingxue County asked them to send them outside the Zhumiao Courtyard, and set up a table at the entrance of the courtyard. The exquisite dishes were placed on the table, and the stove was also placed.

On the table, the charcoal fire is burning brightly in the stove, and the braised pork ribs in sauce are simmering fragrantly in the small pot.

It was the northwest wind, and the aroma of the soy pork elbows drifted into the Zhumiao Courtyard.

Yang Liu almost died laughing, and looked at Mei Jingxue with admiration.

The county head of her family is still smart and wants to come up with such a good idea.

When a person has been hungry for two days, when he is so hungry that he can even take a bite of grass, smelling such fragrant sauce elbow must be as uncomfortable as scratching his heart and lungs.

Mei Jingxue is also very proud, she just wants to make Mu Qingyu uncomfortable.

She shouted: "Sister Mu, cousin, are you okay? It's dinner time again, and my cousin doesn't allow anyone to come in or out of the yard, so I have to eat with you outside, doing my best.

! Well, this fish is nice-looking and delicious, the fish meat is tender and smooth, and it melts in your mouth. Also, these pearl meatballs are so fragrant, fresh and soft..."

Yang Liu also said: "County Lord, our sauce elbow is almost ready. It's so big. What should I do if I can't finish it?"

Mei Jingxue said: "Then feed the dog!"

"Yes, yes, we can feed the dogs if we can't finish it! It's delicious! It smells so good!"

The master and servant were quacking like five hundred ducks outside the courtyard. Mei Jingxue couldn't be happier. The only drawback was that there was a big lock on the courtyard door, so she couldn't see what was going on in the courtyard.

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

Mei Jingxue said with a smile: "If someone wants to eat, just bark like a dog, and the county owner will generously reward her with food!"

Yang Liu clapped his hands and said: "The county master is so kind. If anyone doesn't want to starve to death, he should quickly learn how to bark like a dog. Such a big pork elbow can feed him for a whole day."

As the master and servant spoke, they looked at each other with proud smiles on their faces.

However, they did not wait for the dog to bark, but instead waited for a black object above their heads. The object fell down, hit the table, and then splashed away together with the vegetable soup on the table.

Mei Jingxue was startled, and she hurriedly leaned back. She fell to the ground on her back, and she couldn't escape. A lot of it was splashed on her body, and more on Yang Liu. She hurriedly helped Mei Jingxue up, and the black goo was stained on her body.

I don’t know what it was, but it looked like mud and was so dirty that they vomited out everything they had just eaten.

A voice in the yard said softly: "Stay well in the yard, but there is a dog barking outside the door. It's really annoying!"

That familiar and hateful voice, who else but Mu Qingyu?

Mei Jingxue was so angry that she gritted her teeth: "Mu Qingyu, are you not dead yet?"

Mu Qingyu's voice came again: "Why, you think it's difficult to walk on the Naihe Bridge, so do you want to bring someone to keep you company? Sorry, I don't have the habit of walking my dog!"

While he was talking, another black thing fell from the sky and landed exactly where Mei Jingxue and Yang Liu were standing.

Just now, they were facing the table and couldn't order a table of dishes, but now they were directly covering their heads.

Mei Jingxue screamed.

It's a pity that this yard is so remote. She can humiliate Mu Qingyu here without any scruples without worrying that her cousin will know this side of her. But now that she is covered in black mud, there is no one else to help her.

She was dirty and smelled strange. She couldn't stand it for a moment and said bitterly: "Mu Qingyu, don't be so proud. Let's see how long you can be proud of it!"

If you can't starve to death in 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 yard, Mu Qingyu was dressed in simple clothes, with her sleeves rolled up high. What she just threw out of the wall was a bucket of mud oars.

There used to be a small kitchen here, but it hasn't been used for a long time and needs to be repaired.

Mu Qingyu was in a good mood, so she fetched water from the well in the afternoon, mixed it with mud, and started working enthusiastically. As soon as she was done, Mei Jingxue's master and servant started chattering outside, and she looked at the half-bucket of water left.

Mud, I simply got some black ash from the stove, added water, and mixed it into a thin mud, and used it to beat dogs. The effect is really great!

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

After the dog left, it was quiet. The fire on the stove was not extinguished. The aroma of the soy sauce elbow was still rising. Mu Qingyu curled her lips. She was wrong. She should have stuffed the muddy pork elbow into Mei Jing.

Snow's mouth.

However, I am too lazy to pay attention to it.

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 else, not even Yang Liu dared to mention it again.

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

Mu Qingyu, the daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs, was never mentioned again.

After all, this so-called eldest daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs had never appeared in the circle of ladies before she came out of the cabinet. Even many people in the capital only knew Miss Mu Manqi of the Mu family and did not know that there were other daughters. The daughter of the late Madam Shangshu.

, who couldn’t get on the stage and had to climb on the bed to forcefully climb up to Liang Wang’s people, it was rumored that the heat in the capital had long passed.

No one came close to the closed Zhumiao Courtyard. Only Yue Xi occasionally glanced there, but it was a pity that he didn't take a bite of the fragrant barbecue. That taste and aroma will never be there again.<

/p>

King Liang's external statement was that the princess was in poor health and was resting peacefully in her mansion.

Even Mu Mingyuan, the Minister of Civil Service, did not raise any questions, so naturally others would not care.

Everyone in Prince Liang's palace guessed that the woman in Zhumiao Courtyard was dead, and Prince Liang also issued a silence order, no one was allowed to mention Zhumiao Courtyard or that woman again.

When the news reached Bihua Pavilion, Mei Jingxue was the happiest.

She thought that if the obstacles were cleared, Chu Xinyuan would definitely marry her.

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

The night is dark, with a few lights in the distance. This is a place to the north of Xicheng. Most of the people living in Xicheng are ordinary people, while the people living in Beicheng are mixed and poor.

This place is close to Beicheng, where people live together, and there are only a few people who can afford to light a lamp.

A dark shadow quietly came out of the window of an ordinary, almost shabby inn. He crossed the ridge of the room and headed towards the west.

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

It was an ordinary residence, with no courtyard walls and few entrances.

At the room to the west, he stopped and took out a bamboo tube as thick as a finger from his arms. He first dipped his fingers in saliva, wetted the window paper, dug a hole, and then put the bamboo tube in.

Blow into it.

A wisp of smoke filled the room.

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

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

He has very good skills. After rolling in, he turned over and stood firmly.

The room is not big, and what is visible is a bed, which takes up one-third of the space, and a dressing table, which is very simple and only has a comb, a grate, and a cheap silk flower, but it shows that the owner of the room is a girl.

Identity.

The bed curtains were hanging down, and the person on the couch was sleeping soundly.
