The daughter of the prime minister died tragically and was reborn to kill people everywhere
Chapter 408 As expected
Looking at the figure turning around gracefully, Chen Qinghui smiled bitterly.
It’s not that he doesn’t understand some principles, it’s just that he still has expectations in his heart.
However, he should have seen clearly by now that not everyone can be the head of a family.
After realizing this, Chen Qinghui called out to the outside of the house.
"Angie."
When the old lady came over just now, Anji automatically went outside, and only dared to come back after seeing everyone go back into the house.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door, he heard the eldest master calling him, and he hurried forward.
"Master, what do you want to ask me for?"
"Bring me some books."
Angie was surprised when she heard this, but then she was delighted.
I haven't read any books since the eldest son passed away.
Asking for books now, does it mean that the eldest son is going to cheer up?
Thinking of this, the expression on his face naturally appeared again.
He hurriedly asked, "What book does the eldest master want to read?"
Chen Qinghui didn't have any ideas for a moment. After thinking for a while, he said, "Whatever you want. You can bring some newspapers if you have any."
Those were all about current affairs, issued by the government, and were most suitable for him to understand the current political situation.
Angie nodded immediately after hearing this.
"Yes, sir, I'll be there right away."
With that, he ran out without even noticing that he almost bumped into someone.
Qingyun just happened to come in from outside and saw him being blown away like a gust of wind. She couldn't help but ask the people in the yard.
"What's Angie doing in such a hurry?"
Anji is not one of them. He can be said to be the only two outsiders in this courtyard.
People who are involved in this matter, openly or secretly, naturally pay more attention to him.
"It seems that Master Chen asked him to find the book."
The two of them just spoke in quite loud voices, so it's not surprising that someone heard it.
When Qingyun heard about this, she didn't take it to heart.
Turned around and entered the house.
Relay the information received today to Mu Yunyao.
"Master, just as you expected, those people did take action again, and several old ladies were frightened when they went down the mountain.
Fortunately, because of what happened before, those people didn’t dare to make any big moves, and no one has been injured so far.”
Mu Yunyao nodded.
"After what happened before, I'm afraid they already know that the person on the mountain is me."
After all, his behavior of running towards Concubine Wu when the assassin attacked when he went down the mountain was a bit too deliberate.
If those things hadn't happened, others might not have thought too much about it, but as the person involved, she didn't believe that the person wouldn't guess something.
Mu Yunyao nodded to indicate that she understood, then asked.
"What's the reaction from the King of the Southwest?"
She didn't believe that the King of Southwest would have no reaction to such a serious event as the assassination of Concubine Wu, unless he had known about Concubine Wu for a long time.
“The King of the Southwest was furious and has sent people to investigate based on the clues.
General Zhan saved Concubine Wu and was rewarded, so the King of Southwest promoted him to a higher position, and now he can lead 500 cavalrymen. "
Qingyun couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh as she spoke.
I thought to myself, this King of the Southwest is really stingy. The other person saved his beloved concubine's life, but he only gave such a small reward.
You know, General Zhan is known as the Young Marshal in the Northern Army Camp. When King Zhenbei is away, he can mobilize an army of 300,000.
And now we are only driving out 500 cavalrymen. Isn't that stingy?
Mu Yunyao didn't notice her little thoughts. She rubbed her knuckles carefully, thinking about something else in her mind.
After a moment, Mu Yunyao finally spoke.
"Let our people show the King of the Southwest a way to lead his people to the peach forest."
Judging from the fact that Concubine Wu was able to come and go freely today, it was obvious that this was not the first time they had a tryst in that place.
It is not easy to destroy the corpse in such a large peach forest.
Let the King of Southwest's people find that place. Even if they can't find any clues about Concubine Wu, the King of Southwest will definitely investigate Hanguang Temple thoroughly just because of his suspicion.
After Qingyun understood her motive, the smile on her face became even more intense.
"Master, what do you think the King of the Southwest would look like if he knew that his concubine had cheated on him?"
"It doesn't matter what expression he has. Our purpose is not to see him change his expression."
Qingyun smiled when she heard this, but didn't continue the conversation.
Just at this moment, a woman came in holding a gold-embossed post.
"Master, the palace has sent an invitation. Please come to the palace tomorrow afternoon."
Mu Yunyao guessed that when the assassination attempt failed, Concubine Wu would definitely send a message to test the situation, but she didn't expect it to happen much earlier than she expected.
It seems that this concubine can no longer sit still.
Mu Yunyao glanced at the time on the post and said to Qingyun with a smile.
"Go prepare two generous gifts and follow me to the Southwest Palace tomorrow."
"Master, why do you need to prepare two gifts?"
Qingyun was a little confused.
Mu Yunyao tapped her forehead with amusement.
"Now that we have entered the palace, there is no reason not to visit the sick princess."
Yes, the King of Southwest has always announced to the public that the princess was in poor health and had been recuperating in the mansion, so she was not easy to work hard, so he handed over all the chores in the mansion to the concubine.
Qingyun's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this.
Isn’t this Princess of the Southwest the Princess Anle, their target this time?
Qingyun suppressed the urge to give her master a thumbs-up and took the post.
"I will prepare it right away."
The key to Old Madam Chen's private vault had long been given to Mu Yunyao, but she had no intention of touching the old lady's things. Instead, she picked two items from her own belongings.
The one given to Concubine Wu was a white jade Guanyin, with kind eyes and benevolent features. It was made by a famous artist and was of extraordinary value.
What was given to the princess was a table screen embroidered with woven clouds. Although it was valuable, it was still inferior to the white jade Guanyin.
Qingyun prepared the things and brought them to show Mu Yunyao.
"Master, do you think this is feasible?"
Mu Yunyao took a look and said, "Switch them over."
Qingyun was a little puzzled, because gifts were usually given in this way in the royal palace.
After all, everyone knew that the concubine was the favorite of the King of Southwest, otherwise her son would not have been made the crown prince as soon as he was born.
Whether it was the favor of the King of Southwest or her son's inheritance of the entire palace in the future, the princess could not surpass her.
Mu Yunyao smiled. She naturally knew this.
But this time we have to do the opposite.
Seeing that his master insisted, Qingyun simply mixed up the gifts, rewrote the gift list, and asked people to collect it and take it with them when they went out tomorrow.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Mu Yunyao entered the side room again, removed the gauze from Chen Qinghui's body, checked the wound, and changed the dressing.
After spending so many days together, Chen Qinghui also realized that the man in front of him really only treated him as a patient and did not regard him as an adult man at all.
Gradually he relaxed and wasn't as shy as before.
