C318 Chalcedony (VII) (2/2)

Furthermore, after Zhang Shuya stood there gasping for air, she walked over to Mu Fengchai with light footsteps: ”That beacon Lan, the one who often makes things difficult for us, was just found drowned in the lake.”

”What!” Mu Fengchai stared at Zhang Shuya in shock as she held onto a pearl.

”Why am I coaxing you?”

Zhang Shuya got close to her again, and looked around nervously, and said softly: ”I heard that last night, Zhang Shuya mentioned your cousin in front of the Emperor, which angered the Emperor, and from time to time, he was sent back to his residence. This morning, I just found out that beacon Lan had been reduced to picking up girls, and it was also because Idle Consort heard the news that they had rushed over to clear the palace to beg for help.

”Nonsense, my older cousin is just the current emperor's savior. Li Yulan's brain is filled with grass.” Mu Fengchai shot a glance at her, and immediately thought of using Zhang Shuya's mouth to wash her cousin clean.

Of course, if she operated it well, she could also use this as a springboard to reach the Clear Sky Peak.

”Savior?” Zhang Shuya was so shocked that she forgot to pretend that she was worried.

”Hm!” That's right, he's indeed our savior. There's nothing wrong with him! ” Mu Fengchai tilted her head slightly, and smiled: ”That was back in my hometown, when I was in the small mountain village, I found out about it later. It turned out that the Your Majesty, which was attacked by the combined forces of Prince Zi Jin and the crown prince, and escaped to the back mountain of the small mountain village, was coincidentally close to my cousin's home, and was saved and brought back by her servants. It also just so happened that my uncle got a good medicine some time ago, and was able to save the Your Majesty!”

”So that's what happened?” Zhang Shuya asked again: ”Isn't that medicine too magical?”

Mu Fengchai spread out his hands and laughed helplessly: ”Of course, no one would believe me if I told him about it, but it just happened to be the truth. My uncle passed away early, and no one knows where he got his hands on such medicine, maybe because when he was still alive, he did something good by accident and saved some people in the martial world, and that's why he got such a Gold Life Pill.”

Upon hearing that it was related to the martial artists, Zhang Shuya knew that she could not get any answers out of them.

In her mind, those were the heroes who came and went as they pleased!

”In the end, it's fated to be the real dragon. Perhaps, it was arranged by the Buddha, using my cousin's hand to deliver the medicine.” Mu Fengchai had a keen sense, this matter was extremely mysterious, so naturally he could not arouse suspicion. He suspected that his uncle and the martial artists had colluded.

When Zhang Shuya heard this, he clasped her hands together and immediately began chanting the words Amitabha, and was able to believe Mu Fengchai's words.

”However, how did the Lan beacon die?” Seeing that Zhang Shuya believed it, Mu Fengchai calmed down.

As long as anyone believed what she said, there would be even more people who would believe it. Moreover, there was even the word 'True Dragon' involved. Even the empress dowager would definitely be very happy to hear this rumor.

Zhang Shuya whispered in her ear: ”I don't know, this morning, when her palace maids went to her room, she was still in bed, and even if her rank was lowered she wouldn't have been too worried, to the point of seeking death out of anger. If you ask me, it must be because she was too arrogant before, offending someone she shouldn't have, that she...”

She did not continue the conversation, and only looked at Mu Fengchai meaningfully.

Mu Fengchai lowered her eyelids slightly, hiding the complexity in her eyes.

At the same time, it also sounded an alarm bell. In the Imperial Palace, if one was not careful, it was truly possible for one to die.

Was Li Yulan jumping into the lake because of him, or was she pushed into the lake, or was she killed and thrown into the lake?

All in all, this was an inconclusive case.

This was because at the time of the incident, the palace masters, maids, and eunuchs were all in their own places, doing whatever they were supposed to do.

Idle Consort had actually caused a ruckus in front of the current emperor before, but because of what Mu Fengchai had said, many people did not believe whatever she said because she said Su Ruirui didn't want people to know that he and Mu Rousang were at fault.

Everyone said that the Mme Marquis Wen was a kindhearted person and was envious that the Mme Marquis Wen was a lucky man. How could he coincidentally save the new emperor, who was still the prince at that time?

Li Yulan's case had only revealed a few small shrimps in the end.

Mu Fengchai had discussed this matter with Aunt Zhong in private. Aunt Zhong had told her that the few small shrimps must have offended the people who had great origins, or the nobles who stood behind them were pinching each other, and the loser was pushed out as the scapegoat.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the beginning of October.

Less than half a month had passed since the incident with Li Yulan. Recently, Mu Fengchai had been running around the Imperial Garden even more diligently, and in the morning, she would pick up some flowers and dew. In the daytime, she would either find a place to bask in the sun and be a girl.

On this day, Mu Fengchai became a little lazy, and begged Aunt Zhong: ”Aunt, please let me sleep a little longer. These days, I listened to you and went to the imperial garden all day long, and you didn't know that those beauties called me an idiot.”

”Baolin, it has been two months since you last chose a girl for eight months. Those who deserved to be changed have also changed hands, and those who deserved to be pampered after entering the palace have also been pampered. Now, the palace has calmed down, and Baolin has been quiet for a long time.

Aunt Zhong had told her earlier that people in the palace would always watch the wind and those who were favored at the start would be envied, framed, or suppressed.

In short, quite a few of the beauties who had been chosen to enter the palace together had died, and quite a few had been given away by the current emperor. The rest were either unfavoured or already favored.

As for those higher ups, they were currently hating the newly-favored ones and couldn't wait for someone to stand out and share their spoils.

However, he had to grasp it well. He couldn't argue with her and he couldn't be unfavoured.
