Three hundred and eightieth chapters secretly looking for the cause
"Fourth brother, what do you think of that little guy?" After leaving the General's Mansion, Mu Qingqi didn't speak a word along the way. But when he got off the carriage, he suddenly asked Mu Qiyue.
"Yes, very likable." Mu Qiyue was a little unsure of what he meant, but he didn't want to say anything against his will, so he expressed his true thoughts.
"However, you seemed to be very unfamiliar with each other in the general's residence just now. This made me very puzzled." Mu Qingqi said with a hint.
"Maybe the little guy is a little awed because Brother Qi is there." Mu Qiyue listened to Mu Qingqi's pointed words. Although he thought he was too profound, he didn't show it on his face and remained calm as always.
.
"Haha, that's it." After saying that, Mu Qingqi entered the palace first.
Mu Qiyue did not follow him in. After saying goodbye, he returned directly to Muyue Trading Company. Mu Qingqi's attitude gave him some ideas. Maybe the truth about Fu Douer's life experience should be revealed. He had to make some preparations first.
yes.
After Mu Qingqi returned to the palace, he went straight to his study. Lin Qingyue only sent someone to inform him.
After receiving the notice, Lin Qingyue asked the people accompanying him. After Prince Qi passed by the General's Mansion, he felt that there was nothing strange about it, so he didn't pay too much attention.
Mu Qingqi, who was sitting in the study, unconsciously brushed his right hand to his waist, but now that he had given away the familiar jade pendant, when he put his fingers over it, he felt empty.
What happened in the general's mansion flashed through his mind over and over again. From the attitudes of General Chang and Lin Zhu, to Fu Dou'er's behavior after entering the house. Mu Qingqi always felt that there was something disharmonious.
.
In addition, Mu Qiyue's attitude today also made him suspicious. It seemed that some things were concealed for him.
Mu Qingqi was of course very uncomfortable being kept in the dark by someone who was like a brother, as well as outsiders. However, he did not detect a trace of hostility from General Chang and others. Instead, he felt a sense of sadness.
And this feeling was not there from the beginning. It only appeared at certain specific points. Where exactly was it?
Mu Qingqi sat quietly in the study for a long time, not even noticing that the tea at hand turned from hot to cold. It wasn't until he picked up the cup and drank some water that he was sobered up by the cool taste.
.
However, because of this, an idea flashed in his mind, and he realized where the feeling of disobedience came from when he was in the General's Mansion.
It was fine at the beginning. He talked casually with General Chang and others, and it was very relaxed. Until he said that he wanted to see the little Fu Dou'er, Lin Zhu's body became a little stiff, because it was not obvious, so Mu
Qingqi just ignored it.
Not only that. Lin Zhu seemed to be unwilling to see the child. From the initial shirk to the behavior of calling Fu Dou'er in person, now that he thought about it, there must be some factors that he didn't want him to know.
After all, it was something that could be done by sending a servant, but she did it herself, and the time it took was not short.
Judging from Fu Dou'er's unfamiliarity with Mu Qiyue, it is not difficult to find that Lin Zhu must have given him some instructions in advance.
And everyone sitting here seemed to acquiesce.
So, it seems that they are on guard against meeting Fu Dou'er. But why is this? This is the first time I have officially met him, and I have never interacted with him before. This is too strange.
Things were too weird. Although Mu Qingqi didn't know the reason, it was obvious that he was concerned about it.
Although he did not doubt that Mu Qiyue would be detrimental to him, Mu Qiyue's attitude in the general's mansion was obviously on Lin Zhu's side. It seemed that he needed to explore the reasons in detail again.
He found his most trusted subordinate and asked him to carefully find out everything about Lin Zhu and Fu Dou'er, no matter how big or small, and then report it. Not only what happened to them in the capital, but also what happened before they came to the capital.
We need to make some inquiries. Even all the properties and personnel under Lin Zhu’s name should be searched carefully.
Mu Qingqi did these things in private and did not tell anyone, not even the emperor. However, because he felt a little uneasy in his heart, he was also a little anxious and anxious while waiting for the news.
The first person to notice something strange about Mu Qingqi was Lin Qingyue. After so many years of being married to him, only the last two years have been the happiest.
In the past, the princess was always on top of her. In order to please King Qi, she had no choice but to be patient and humble in front of her. She put the princess first in everything so that Mu Qingqi would not forget about her.
.
Moreover, the fact that she was able to get pregnant was entirely the result of trickery, making the drunk Mu Qingqi mistakenly think that she was the princess, and achieved her goal in confusion.
Because of this matter, Mu Qingqi became furious and almost ignored his own existence. If it weren't for the fact that the princess couldn't manage the affairs of the palace, it was a certainty that Lin Qingyue would be left out.
Now, he has finally turned around. Several years of hard work have not been in vain. Not only did his son become the legitimate heir of King Qi, he also successfully entered King Qi's heart and became the legitimate mistress of the palace.
Therefore, in order to keep this success unchanged, Lin Qingyue continued to pay attention to Mu Qingqi's various changes.
Even if his mood fluctuates a little, Lin Qingyue can feel it. What's more, his anxiety has been seen by everyone in the palace.
"My lord, is there anything unhappy with you?" Finally, Lin Qingyue found an opportunity and asked.
Hearing her voice, Mu Qingqi glanced at her and shook his head. To be honest, Lin Qingyue was leaning against her. If he hadn't been soft-hearted and helped her a small favor at a banquet, he wouldn't have
Will be stained by her.
Because she didn't know what happened and fell into the pond, the maid rescued her and arranged for her to rest and change clothes in an empty room.
Mu Qingqi was a bit drunk because he was persuaded by the owner to drink two more drinks, so he asked his servants to take him to the guest room to rest.
Unexpectedly, the room that he went to was the one that Lin Qingyue entered. Mu Qingqi opened the door and entered the room and saw a disheveled Lin Qingyue.
The woman's reputation was so great that even though she didn't see it, the news spread very quickly.
In the end, Mu Qingqi had no choice but to take her into the house.
Fortunately, she was quite content and didn't cause him any trouble. The princess also forgave herself after hearing his explanation.
I originally wanted to just keep her in the house. After a few years, when no one would pay attention to the matter anymore, I would send her out. But what happened was that he broke into her house drunk and performed the courtesy of Duke Zhou.
As a result, Lin Qingyue will never be able to leave the palace for the rest of her life.
She secretly hated herself for being drunk and causing trouble, and was also angry at Lin Qingyue for not rejecting her. Although she said afterwards that it was because she really couldn't push her away. But Mu Qingqi was not a three-year-old child, so how could he easily believe her words.
If Lin Qingyue hadn't found out she was pregnant at the same time as the concubine, Lin Qingyue would probably have been kicked out of the palace by him. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
