Chapter 128

Seeing Mu Xiyao's posture, everyone felt uneasy for a while.

If she can't catch anyone this time, if she can't get what she wants, the side concubine won't just vent her anger on others, right? Now that His Highness is not here, the Concubine Helian does not know whether she can suppress the arrogance of the side concubine?

Especially the internal response who planned to sacrifice the maidservant to save himself, and now his heart is even tighter. The plan was disrupted, the news was cut off, and the maid couldn't be killed. Next, how to avoid this Mu's method? The most suspicious thing is that she took out this note. Could it be that she missed something at the beginning? How did she know Yin Ji's secret code name?

I haven't received any news from there since the incident happened. Could it be that Yin Ji from the House of the Fifth Highness has already been captured? Thinking of this, a cold current suddenly surged up in the woman's vest. They are the master's most powerful pawns. Although they are not very familiar with each other, they know some secrets. If Yin Ji couldn't bear it... His Highness the Sixth Highness could do it ruthlessly, she didn't even dare to imagine her own ending.

"You are also tired today. Tomorrow's interrogation will be much simpler. You just need to ask the maids and servants in each mansion, and let the aunt specially invited by the chief steward look at it for a while." Mu Xiyao looked at the note and smiled. Unfathomable.

"This Yin Ji is very careful. The paper, brush and ink are extremely ordinary. It's a pity that the person who delivered the letter was really careless and left some marks on it carelessly, which is enough to identify the real culprit."

"Okay, we're leaving today. Let's all go back. The maids will be handed over to Mr. Tian to take care of them. After tomorrow, those who have done nothing wrong will naturally be sent back to serve."

They drove people away one after another, and Mu Xiyao summoned Wei Zhen to give them serious advice.

"Let the hidden guards keep an eye on their next actions, who they met and what they asked, and record them all, without any omissions."

Wei Zhen now understands Master Yao's tricks, and secretly sighs that it's cunning! This is a complete scheming! The note couldn't be more ordinary, and it was very clean, without any flaws as the master said.

Master Yao said the note was so important, and then put it in the box and locked it in front of everyone, showing extreme caution. Now that person should be confused and even more hesitant when he goes back. In addition, the close servant girl was detained by the master again, and she had some ghosts in her heart. I was afraid that she would not be able to survive tonight, so she felt that she would not need to sleep at all.

Master Yao wanted to go out of the mansion empty-handed and hide for a long time, but he still hasn't detected it yet. This idea is really ingenious. The woman His Highness valued was indeed just like him, very human.

Just as Wei Zhen expected, when the four returned, except for An Shi, who had been ruled out of suspicion long ago, the rest of them were all mobilizing and mobilizing, and they were all too busy.

In the morning of the next day, Wei Zhen handed over the news that the secret guard was on duty all night with a happy face.

Mu Xiyao opened the secret report, and nodded with satisfaction after reading it. This is true! This play lasted for three days, no matter how cunning the fox was, he finally showed his tail.

But the rest of them are not worry-free characters, let's see what they are doing! Tsk tsk, fortunately she is not the concubine, otherwise she would not be pissed off. She is impatient, holding these people's handles in her hands, it's better to save them for emergencies.

She didn't expect to catch a traitor this time, and there would be unexpected gains. If she had known that so much information could be obtained so easily, she should have tossed the whole backyard. It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now, who made her aim too clear and her actions too fast, I really regret it.

"Since that's the case, let's add another fire." Mu Xiyao smiled brightly, but what she told Wei Zhen to do was extremely treacherous.

As the saying goes, when sending a Buddha to the west, she will investigate a traitor. Of course, she will step on it a few times, and prepare a few more in the back, and there will be no mistakes. Besides, if it wasn't for that person's guilty conscience and unnecessary actions, she wouldn't be able to use this trick. This is called self-inflicted evil, karma, and it has a number of origins.

Wei Zhen's eyes immediately brightened after hearing Mu Xiyao's explanation. The look in Mu Xiyao's eyes is also full of awe.

Master Yao has a very good mind, but fortunately, apart from making a lot of noise, he has a good temper and is a harmless person. Otherwise, there would be not many women left in the courtyard.

"Master, this subordinate has doubts, I wonder if I should ask?" His Highness didn't dare to ask more than half a word, but Master Yao's side is easier to talk.

Mu Xiyao stopped fiddling with the potted plants, raised her chin slightly twice, and signaled him that you're welcome, just speak.

Seeing the master's action, Zhao mama really couldn't see it. This is a good teaching rule, the master can do a good job, but he insists on doing things according to his temper, and doesn't pay much attention to outsiders. How could the movement of raising the chin be the behavior that a noble daughter of aristocratic family should have? This habit is obviously full of market flavor. His Highness is also true, so spoiled by his master that he doesn't take rules seriously more and more. If you want the little master to follow suit in the future, what's so great about it?

Wei Zhen has long been used to Mu Xiyao's unruly behavior, so she just pretended not to see her inappropriate behavior.

"This subordinate was sent by His Royal Highness to the Princess Mansion to 'exchange' the golden-crowned hummingbird. Afterwards, His Highness left the mansion and brought the master back smoothly. What is the reason? The subordinates and others obviously searched for people very hard, but there was no progress at all. " Wei Zhen asked very aggrieved, especially mentioning the word "exchange", with an expression of embarrassment that couldn't be hidden.

Thinking of the forced buying incident, Wei Zhen felt ashamed. After that, he even lost to a Rausch hummingbird that he had never heard of, which made him brood for a long time.

Mu Xiyao was taken aback when she heard what he meant. "What are you looking for, the golden-crowned hummingbird? Not the alpine crested ibis?"

Zong Zhenglin didn't look for the alpine crested ibis, but actually went looking for the rare hummingbird that she had never seen before? Why?

Wei Zhen's eyelids twitched when Mu Xiyao asked her. Could it be what he thought?

"Master, is the alpine crested ibis okay?"

"Of course it is possible. The sachet I was carrying that day contained the main ingredient of safflower, which is the favorite thing of the alpine crested ibis. Although the golden-crowned hummingbird is also very sensitive to it, it is because the safflower is The companion flower of the diptera. It's the diptera that the hummingbirds are interested in."

The alpine crested ibis is not only easy to find, but also responds more quickly to the scent she leaves behind.

Mu Xiyao's explanation to Wei Zhen was half true and half false. What she used that day was not spices, but one of the few remaining dispensers in the space that she had almost forgotten. Where can ordinary spices last for such a long time, and you still have to wait until the next day to track the smell?

The first time she dealt with the assassin sent by the eldest prince, she used the drug stored in the space. It's a pity that when she entered the palace later, many medicinal materials were forbidden in the palace, and the medicine could not be prepared, so Mu Xiyao left the space idle. It wasn't until that day that she was almost driven to the limit, that she had a flash of inspiration by chance, and remembered that there were still some medicines to be prepared, and she might have to use them.

With a way to save herself, all she lacks is a person who can pass on her news. Coincidentally, that day when Zong Zhenglin asked the boy to go to the side hall to look for Zong Zhengming, he met Mo Wanqing's servant girl on the way, who was the chess piece that Mu Xiyao buried in the fifth prince's mansion early.

The two searched for His Highness the Fifth Highness in the front yard, and accidentally met Mu Xiyao and his party at the bamboo forest path. In view of being closely guarded by the two thieves, Mu Xiyao did not dare to take the risk of calling for help, fearing that the traitors would jump over the wall and kill her. He could only take the risk of sprinkling medicinal herbs on the servant girl when the two groups of people were in the wrong position, and kept scanning her clothes with his eyes.

Fearing that she wouldn't notice the difference, Mu Xiyao pretended to lose her temper. She was very vitriolic at the time, and loudly scolded the young man for scratching her silk dress with the lantern in his hand, and threatened that she would have to check it when she went back, and if she damaged her precious clothes, she would ask the fifth princess for an explanation .

Seeing her attack, the two thieves thought they were taking the opportunity to make trouble, and they were about to get violent when they saw that she was quite disgusted and snorted coldly, so arrogantly, they left first. While walking, he lifted the hem of the clothes with great distress, saying that the good material that His Highness the Sixth Highness had specially found should be soiled like this, it is really abominable.

Being harassed by Mu Xiyao, in the eyes of the thieves, is just a woman cherishing the clothes given by her beloved man. For Mu Xiyao, it was a turning point in her life.

When the maid followed up to plead guilty, the flash of light in her eyes made Mu Xiyao extremely satisfied. As expected, it was the good seedling she picked out at the beginning, and she was able to get through at a single point, and she really lived up to expectations.

Mu Xiyao was especially pleased when she recalled that person who could be reused. When Yin Ji is caught, Mu Xiting's side should also be clean. Find a chance to pick that girl out, give her a good future, or change her face, let her enter the mansion with her sister Chunlan, bring a little bun, and be an aunt in charge.

Mu Xiyao was thinking about it, but Wei Zhen had a mournful expression on her face. She was so aggrieved that even Mu Xiyao couldn't bear to be distracted, "Master Wei, what do you mean?" Explain the whole story to you, you Why are you so sad?

"Your Highness, Your Highness asked the servants to steal the golden-crowned hummingbird from the fourth princess's house. It's just because the alpine crested ibis is an unlucky widow bird."

Mu Xiyao's face turned red from being choked by herself, Zong Zhenglin, a man, has a bottom line when he is awkward, okay?

It's just a bird, do you need to associate it with her? Besides, what happened to the widow? The big boss hasn't died yet, how dare she remarry?

Mu Xiyao glared at Wei Zhen bitterly. This kind of unreliable and embarrassing thing, I will mention it later, waiting to be cleaned up! His Highness the Sixth Highness is hypocritical himself, and the guards he taught are not much better.

Mu Xiyao saw that he was still ashamed for robbing the broken bird from the princess's mansion, so she committed a wicked crime for a while.

"Why don't you, Master Wei, make another trip? My concubine really loves the tens of thousands of taels of silver notes from my Highness. You go and get the notes back from my concubine? As for the bird, can it just fly away?"

Let you pretend to be melancholy in front of her like a broken bird, which makes people feel depressed.

Wei Zhen was baffled by Mu Xiyao's fright, and immediately resigned. This one is even more ruthless than His Highness, he doesn't give money, and wants to covet the ink hummingbird. These two masters are really...extremely well-matched.

"Master, your Highness's letter has arrived." Wei Zhen just got away, but was blocked by an urgent letter from His Highness Six.

Seeing his vigilance, Mu Xiyao laughed and cursed, "Hurry up, hurry up, who can force you to collect debts?"

Wei Zhen handed over the letter, oiled her feet, and disappeared with a whoosh.
