On the other side, everyone in the palace searched everywhere, and finally found outside Yuxia Palace.
"ah!"
Someone screamed.
Everyone followed the sound and looked over, only to see the British princess's little daughter holding a lantern in her hand and staring intently into the bamboo forest.
Pointing with trembling hands: "That...that...that..."
In the direction of her finger, there were two intertwined bodies.
"Ning Ning, don't look."
The British princess had quick eyesight and quickly stepped forward to cover her little daughter's eyes.
She is still a girl who has not yet left the court. Where can I see this?
When the ladies around him saw this, they reacted one after another and covered the eyes of the daughter next to them.
"Ouch……"
Some old people felt unlucky and just turned their heads.
Isn't it too unbearable to do this in public?
However, from time to time, there would be one or two lingering and sad voices heard. Not to mention those untouched little girls and young masters, even those married ladies and ladies would blush when they heard it, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
.
Only Mrs. Zhong asked in a trembling voice: "Then... the woman there is... the Queen Mother?"
She used it as a question, but the answer was already self-evident.
Mu Qingchao said he wanted to change his clothes and left his servants behind, whom he hadn't seen for such a long time. Now that he had encountered such a thing, who else could it be but her?
"No, it's not."
Before anyone could say anything, Mrs. Zhong shouted first, looked at Shen Muchi whose face had turned black into a piece of charcoal, and knelt down towards him with a "pop" sound.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is not such a person. There must be something hidden. Your Majesty, please find out!"
Isn’t the Queen Mother such a person?
She is so awesome!
Who doesn't know that the Empress Dowager used charming tricks since she entered the palace to make the late Emperor linger in her room every night, and not only made the late emperor neglect the government affairs, but also flattered the late emperor and listened to whatever the late emperor said.
The name of the Demonic Concubine of the Subjugated Country is not just a mere talk.
Among all the people in the palace today, if there is anyone who can do such a shameless thing, it is only Mu Qingchao.
It's just that this old lady's acting skills are so good that anyone who sees her will just think that she is just an old man who loves her granddaughter. Her loving heart is enough to move people.
Mrs. Ma pulled Old Mrs. Zhong aside: "Mom, don't be like this. You don't know that Sister Chao is no longer the same as before."
Mrs. Zhong looked at Mr. Ma: "How can you say that? After all, Sister Chao is also your niece, so you should beg for mercy for her."
Ma stood aside and bit her lip: "It's not that my daughter-in-law is unwilling to plead for mercy, it's that her daughter-in-law has no face to plead for mercy.
Sister Chao lost her father when she was young and took refuge with the Zhong family. Her daughter-in-law and master watched her grow up. How could the daughter-in-law not love her?
Now it is the daughter-in-law's responsibility to do such shameless things."
"Mom, my daughter-in-law knows that you feel sorry for Sister Chao, but the Mu family is also a clean and honest family, and the family tradition has always been strict. What Sister Chao did, even if it was for the Mu family, should be punished with death, and should be punished.
Tang Shen Tang protects the reputation of the Mu family, how can you be partial?"
What Ma did was another gesture, one of understanding the righteousness and destroying relatives for the righteousness.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sang and reconciled so beautifully.
"Mrs. Zhong is worthy of being a queen from a famous family. She is really knowledgeable and sensible."
"That's right. If it weren't for this, how could Mrs. Zhong have raised her children so well?"
"Yes, since Mu Changting passed away, it was Mrs. Zhong who helped take care of her sister-in-law's family. Mu Qingchao was so ungrateful when he grew up that he even said that the Jade Concubine was trying to defeat her.
Even though Mrs. Zhong is not angry or angry, how many women can be so generous and tolerant?"
Everyone was talking about it, and it was naturally very useful to fall in Ma's ears.
She always pretended to be kind and gentle in front of others. Even when Concubine Jade was grounded, she did not complain about Mu Qingchao in front of others. She naturally wanted the effect she had now.
"what are you guys saying?"
However, at this moment, Mu Qingchao suddenly appeared outside the crowd.
She lit a lantern, her clothes were neatly dressed, and even her hair was not messed up at all. She just stood outside the crowd, staring at everyone with a pair of eyes.
However, in the eyes of Mr. Ma and Mrs. Zhong, this look was like seeing a ghost.
Mrs. Zhong was originally kneeling on the ground, but she was so frightened that she sat down on the ground.
"you……"
Ma stumbled, and it took her a long time to confirm before she could believe that the person in front of her was really Mu Qingchao. "You...why are you here?" she asked.
But Mu Qingchao was amused: "You ask the Aijia, and the Aijia will ask you again.
The Ai family just went to change clothes and came back, only to find that there was no one in Jiying Hall. After a long search, they found that you are all here.
It’s really strange. You are so good, why are you here? Is the scenery here more beautiful?”
Mu Qingchao asked a question, but no one answered.
How did they answer?
You said that everyone thought you were living with others here, so you came here to catch an adulterer?
There were obviously people standing outside Yuxia Palace, but it was so quiet that even the sound of heavy snow falling to the ground could be clearly heard.
"Then...then...who is that person in the woods?"
After a long while, a soft voice asked.
It's the little princess Wan'an.
Everyone was enlightened at this moment. They were all busy looking at Mu Qingchao, but they had forgotten about the pair of wild mandarin ducks.
yes!
Mu Qingchao is now standing in front of him, so who is the person in the forest who did this?
Mu Qingchao, on the other hand, looked around and said, "This place seems to be near Yuxia Palace, right?"
Oh, by the way, is the Jade Concubine the only one who didn't come to the palace banquet tonight?"
A sentence that is clearly said may sound calm and gentle to the listener, but it may sound deafening to the listener.
"You're talking nonsense!"
Ma looked at Mu Qingchao, her voice suddenly rose an octave, which was very different from the well-informed and sensible lady she had just created.
But Mu Qingchao just smiled: "Auntie is really interesting. Do you want to see if I'm talking nonsense?"
Yes, isn’t the easiest way to break rumors is to face the truth?
But when Ma looked at the shadowy figure in the bamboo forest, why didn't he dare?
Mu Qingchao still had a smile on her face. She always smiled like this, like a hypocritical piece of fake skin. Staring at people like this made people feel numb.
She smiled and said: "Auntie, don't you dare to look at those pickled things? Well, if you don't dare to look at it, my niece will look at it for you."
"Just think of it as repaying your kindness for raising me over the years."
After she finished speaking, she held up the lantern and walked deep into the bamboo forest.
