Chapter 353 Dead

She returned to her own courtyard and reported to Gu Huan that her maid had returned.

"Aunt, the princess said that you can go see Lord Du after the flower farmer leaves the house."

"good."

Du Yun was delighted. He looked at the two delicious snacks and was reluctant to eat them. He decided to give them to his father later.

…

The bookstore owner looked at Evian's note and heard the details, his face turned extremely ugly.

There are four words written on it: Yin Tao betrayed his master.

"I was wondering why someone had been following us these past two days. It turned out that bitch Yin Tao betrayed her master! Did she think that being a concubine would allow her to rise to prominence? Mu Junyan has never been fond of beautiful women, but how could he suddenly fall for her? It's obvious that he was using her as bait. How stupid!"

The female flower farmer's eyes widened in shock: "We've been discovered?"

"They probably don't have evidence. But Yiyun's news is not necessarily reliable. Mu Junyan suddenly likes women? Besides, what kind of women does he want? Would he want the spy given to him by the queen to be his bedmate?"

The female flower farmer thought for a moment and said, "I saw them fighting today. It was indeed Yin Tao who betrayed her master. She wanted to steal the hairpin, and Yiyun protected it desperately. If the secret of the hairpin is discovered, we will all be doomed."

The shopkeeper frowned: "We have to find a way to get into the mansion and find out why Mu Junyan suddenly married Yiyun."

In fact, they didn't need to inquire, the gossip about the palace had already spread in Juzhou City.

This also explains why Mu Junyan took in these two beauties at once.

Gossip has it that the emperor bestowed two beauties, one charming and good at singing and dancing, and the other beautiful and good at writing and painting.

Both of them were of outstanding appearance, but the princess had never allowed them to meet the prince. She had locked them up in a remote courtyard, fearing that they would take advantage of her pregnancy and the prince, unable to bear the loneliness, would fall in love with them and take away his love.

Later, the two girls behaved very well, and gradually the princess relaxed her guard.

Then the clever Yin Tao found an opportunity to send snacks to Prince Yong and put drugs in the snacks. Prince Yong enjoyed Yin Tao without knowing it. Feeling guilty towards the princess, he did not tell her, and the old lady came forward to promote Yin Tao as his concubine.

When the princess found out, she had a big fight with the prince.

Then the two started their first cold war, and during this time the prince took people to Yongzhou, rescued several adults who were wrongly accused there, and brought them back to Juzhou.

It just so happened that one of them was a Mr. Du, who was one of the two beauties and Yiyun’s biological father.

The prince thinks highly of Lord Du. It is said that he is a genius in water control and was previously the prefect of Gongzhou County.

Gongzhou is now suffering from a flood, and the prince wants Lord Du to take action to solve the flood.

Unexpectedly, when arranging a meeting between Lord Du and his daughter, the prince saw Miss Yiyun, who came from a serious official family, for the first time. He was attracted by her noble temperament at first sight and favored Yiyun that night.

Then the princess and the prince had another big fight, and the prince went to the military camp overnight.

The princess was heartbroken and cried all night.

Knowing that she was pregnant, she could not hold the prince's heart. In order to please the prince, she had no choice but to return Miss Yiyun to a good status and promoted her to a concubine.

The prince might really like Yiyun, and he immediately wanted to take Lord Du and Miss Yiyun back to his hometown Gongzhou, saying that he wanted to seek justice for Lord Du and Miss Yiyun.

There are also detailed stories about why Lord Du and his daughter ended up in such a state.

Gongzhou is separated from Juzhou by one prefecture capital, not too far away. It is a big deal that the county magistrate committed a serious crime and was exiled. Some people also knew some inside information. It was natural that it was easy for people to believe it when the truth and the lies were mixed.

The shopkeeper listened to the waiter telling him every detail of the news outside.

The Queen had already ordered a letter to inform him of Du Yun's life story.

Moreover, he was the only one among the spies in Juzhou who knew the truth. The others only knew that Yiyun was from the Jiaofangsi.

He thought for a long time with a gloomy face: "The story of the Du family is true. Prince Yong may not really like Yiyun, it is very likely that he wants to use her father. Mu Junyan just wants to bribe the various prefectures. Prince Yong needs to win over the Du family, so he uses his water control ability to go to Gongzhou and win the hearts of the people of Gongzhou.

However, the one with the surname Du is a criminal, and Jiang Qiufu, the county magistrate, is now on the road to becoming a king. It's fine if he can just vent his anger, but what else can he do? Could it be that he dared to dethrone Jiang Qifu and support Mr. Du to take the position of county magistrate again? Unless King Yong really wants to prove the charge of treason. ”

The waiter and the female flower grower nearby agreed with what he said.

"Du Yun is smart. She once asked the queen to save her father. She used her real identity to act so that people would be more convinced."

The shopkeeper figured it out, and immediately picked up his pen to write down everything that had happened in Juzhou, and sent it back to Bianjing by express delivery over 800 miles.

Finally, he handed the female florist a package.

"Yin Tao doesn't need to stay."

"yes."

The shopkeeper added: "Create some trouble for the palace, don't waste this stupid thing Yin Tao."

"clear."

…

July 23rd.

Today is Mu Junyan’s birthday.

Before dawn, he took Lord Du and Du Yun out of the city and rushed to Gongzhou.

"Your Majesty, look at the city wall."

Chi Yan suddenly shouted.

Mu Junyan looked back, suddenly reined in his horse, turned around on the spot, and stopped to look.

Suddenly his eyes turned red as he stared at the countless orange-red sky lanterns flying in the sky above Juzhou City.

The fiery red sky lanterns illuminated the Juzhou city wall.

The sky lanterns slowly rose up and slowly formed a Mu Family Army logo pattern.

This is Huan'er celebrating his birthday.

Gu Huan was pregnant, and she would have loved to go up to the city wall to see him off.

Suddenly, Holly came quickly.

"Princess, this is bad."

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Zhilan glared at her and said, "Tell me what you want to say slowly. Don't scare the princess."

Dong Qing quickly put away his anxious look: "Yin Tao is dead."

"What?"

Gu Huan was so shocked that she wanted to stand up suddenly, but she stumbled and Zhou Zhilan was quick to hug her.

Dong Qing was so frightened that his face turned pale. He quickly told Sui Er, "Go and call Doctor Shen."

Sui'er ran away.

Gu Huan was speechless: "It's okay."

Zhou Zhilan gently stroked her back: "Even if nothing happened, she would have to keep an eye on you. Do you want to scare us to death?"

Gu Huan couldn't take care of herself and asked hurriedly, "What's going on? Is anyone handling it?"

Dong Qing nodded: "Dong Mo is over there. She looks like she was poisoned. Someone has been asked to call Doctor Shen."

"Ask Shen Li over, she's good at poison."

Gu Huan grabbed Zhou Zhilan and said, "Let's go and take a look."

Zhou Zhilan refused, "Don't move. You're pregnant, it's not appropriate for you to go to such a bloody place. I'll go."

Without further ado, he ordered Yun'er, "Keep an eye on the princess. If she dares to leave the room, you won't have to serve her anymore."

Gu Huan: “…”

Who is the master?

Oh.

However, she didn't want to hurt the child. So many people had passed by, so she just waited.

In less than half an hour, Zhou Zhilan and Shen Li came over.

Gu Huan asked anxiously: "How?"

Chen Li: “Poisoned.”

Zhou Zhilan said gloomily, "The palace has been under strict control during this period. How did she get poisoned? Dong Cui has been watching her all the time, but no one has approached her."

Gu Huan frowned, "She was given to me in the name of His Majesty. If she died inexplicably in the palace, do you think someone would use this as an excuse to cause trouble?"

Shen Li suddenly stood up and walked out, saying, "I'll go find the source of the poison."

Gu Huan and Zhou Zhilan sat opposite each other, both lost in thought.

Dong Mo has blocked the news and no one in the mansion is allowed to enter or leave.

There are only a few people who know about this who can be trusted.

Soon, Shen Li came back.

“Found it!”

Shen Li came over with something wrapped in a handkerchief. When he opened the handkerchief, it turned out to be a wooden hairpin, exactly the same as the one Du Yun wore.
