Of course, Zhang Bin Zhao recognized Zhang Bin Yu at a glance. She frowned coldly: "You are the one behind the scenes?!"
Fortunately, she trusted Zhang Bin Yu so much that she would discuss everything with Zhang Bin Yu as soon as possible. Zhang Bin Yu actually had another purpose for becoming friends with her.
"no……"
Only then did Yu Zhangbin speak, and Dugu Liancheng shouted in a deep voice: "It's not that you want to harm Mu Ci and the emperor's heir, but who is instigating you behind the scenes?! If you tell the truth, I can not kill your family and leave your body intact.
!”
Zhang Bin Yu was sweating coldly.
She has parents, a sister and a brother, so her family cannot be implicated by her.
She had no choice.
The crime they committed this time, which killed the nine tribes, cannot be left unexplained.
"Yes, that's right." Yu Zhangbin gritted his teeth and told the truth.
At first, Shi Zhitao said that Mu Ci could be removed without anyone noticing, and that no one would think that Jingyang Palace was behind the matter, so she believed it.
But who could have expected that not only did the matter fail, but Jingyang Palace suffered a backlash. This was a result she had never expected.
Of course she didn't know that Mu Ci had already mastered everything going on in Jingyang Palace. Who Zhitao had come into contact with and who was involved in this matter were all under Mu Ci's control.
Mu Ci was willing to take risks, naturally because he wanted to catch the big fish An Rong.
Tao Meiren listened to the whole process and then remembered what Ci Xin had said.
Ci Xin told her early on that this was An Rong's conspiracy, but she didn't take it to heart, otherwise she wouldn't have suffered this disaster. If she had listened to Ci Xin, she wouldn't have been used by An Rong this time.
Unfortunately it was too late.
An Rong had also been paying attention to what was happening on Mu Ci's side. When she learned that Mu Ci had found all the people involved, she knew that the matter had been exposed.
Zhitao knelt on the ground, feeling terrified: "This slave is not doing things well. My Majesty, what should I do next?"
An Rong helped Zhitao up, "How old were you when you started serving me?"
Zhitao didn't know why An Rong asked about this matter. She thought about it for a while but still didn't remember: "As long as I can remember, I have been serving the empress in An Guogong's mansion for many years."
It’s already this time, why is the queen still in the mood to ask about this matter?
If nothing unexpected happens, the emperor will be here soon, right?
The people involved in this case have been reported to Yong'an Palace. It is impossible for them not to recruit them. This time, not only did they fail to hurt Mu Ci at all, but they actually caused him to get angry.
An Rong poured a cup of tea with her own hands and handed it to Zhitao: "You have always won my trust, and I have become accustomed to serving you over the years. Even if Platycodon won my heart again, I never thought that one day
She will take your place, do you know how much I care about you?"
Hearing this, Zhitao felt grateful: "I'm grateful to you for your kindness. I didn't handle this matter well and left something to chance..."
"Don't worry, you have a sip of tea first. I still have something to do." An Rong looked at Zhitao with gentle eyes.
Zhitao was surprised and delighted: "Is it true? Is there still something else for the queen to do?"
"Yes, you drink tea and I will talk to you slowly." An Rong said softly.
Zhitao did not doubt that she had it, and drank the whole glass of water: "My queen, please speak quickly, this slave is dying of anxiety."
An Rong looked at Zhitao, her eyes gradually filled with sadness: "My method is very simple, that is to sacrifice you. You have been planning this matter. If you die, everything will end here..."
Zhitao's expression changed when she heard this, and a sharp pain hit her. She looked at An Rong in disbelief: "Your Majesty——"
She wanted to grab An Rong's hand, but she had no strength and fell heavily to the ground.
Until the moment she died, she did not believe that the master she had been loyal to all her life actually killed her with his own hands.
Kikyo saw this scene from a distance without moving her eyebrows.
An Rong sat slumped on the ground and gave an order: "Change Zhitao into something more decent. She always loves beauty the most. Even if she dies, I hope she can leave with dignity."
Platycodon must have found a set of Zhitao's favorite dress and put it on, and then put some cinnamon on Zhitao's fingertips.
When wiping Zhitao's fingertips, she paused and suddenly became distracted...
When Dugu Liancheng and Mu Ci came to Jingyang Palace, An Rong knelt down in front of the main hall, with Shi Zhitao's body beside her.
Mu Ci fixed his gaze.
As expected, it was An Rong's style. When it was time to be ruthless, An Rong would never be merciful. Even though Zhitao had served An Rong and been loyal to An Rong all her life, she was still easily abandoned by An Rong and killed her as soon as she asked.
Dugu Liancheng looked at An Rong coldly, but An Rong did not evade: "Zhitao committed suicide out of fear of crime. She only confessed everything to me after she committed suicide. It was my concubine's lax control that led to such consequences. I am guilty!"
"
As she spoke, she crawled up to Mu Muci and said, "I know that Mu Xiuyi has resentment in her heart, but the one who dies is the worst——"
Before she finished speaking, Mu Ci suddenly kicked her in the face: "Don't do this in front of me. Do you think killing Zhitao will cover up the fact that you are the real murderer?"
An Rong got up in pain and said righteously: "Mu Xiuyi, you really misunderstood this matter. I really don't know anything about it. Zhitao has hated you since he was beaten with a cane last time.
I have tried to persuade her more than once, but she still came to a dead end. I know that you have always disliked me, but there are some things that I have never done, and I will never admit it."
Mu Ci wanted to use this round to pull her down, but unfortunately he wasn't fast enough.
She had long thought that if it happened, she would finally defeat Mu Ci. If she accidentally lost, she would have to think of a way out.
Everything is negotiated by Zhi Tao, so the worst result is to abandon Zhi Tao. In this way, she can escape unscathed, and Mu Ci can't do anything to her.
The current situation is still under her control.
Mu Ci wanted to kill her right now, right? What a pity, even though he knew it was her who did it, Mu Ci had no evidence because Zhitao was dead.
Without proof, Mu Cizhu could only suffer the loss of being dumb.
She expected to see Mu Ci in pain, but Mu Ci looked very calm and did not seem to be angry because she had the upper hand.
At this time, Mu Ci looked at Dugu Liancheng: "What do you think, Your Majesty? Zhitao is already dead. The dead cannot testify, and the matter is a foregone conclusion."
Dugu Liancheng's expression showed no explanation, and he said quietly: "Since Zhitao is dead, this case has come to an end for the time being. It is also true that Concubine An is lax in her duties. Let's do this. Concubine An will move to Beigong to live there."
A while..."
An Rong was proud of what she said, but she couldn't laugh anymore. She looked at Dugu Liancheng in disbelief: "Your Majesty, the North Palace is a cold palace..."
How could the emperor send her to the cold palace? Neither he nor Mu Ci had any evidence to prove that she was harming Mu Ci, so how could he just send her to the North Palace like this?
