Chapter 73 The funeral bell strikes eight

Chang Qing's face flushed, and she nodded excitedly, "Miss, the prince asked me to tell you that Gao Pianran met with Master Ouyang at dinner time."

Mo Yunzhu instantly curled up the corners of her mouth into a cold-blooded evil smile, which undoubtedly confirmed that Ouyang Cong was being used as a gun by Gao Pianran.

However, Gao Pianran's insidiousness and viciousness indeed exceeded Mo Yunzhu's understanding of her.

In the original owner's impression, the daughter of the Grand Tutor was a lady from a noble family, well-educated, and elegant. She never expected that when it came to the matter of the Grand Concubine's selection of a concubine, she would first design Gu Qinxin and Gu Wanwan to warn herself.

After being discovered by her, she became even more vicious and asked Ouyang Cong to hire someone to kill her. This woman's psychology is already twisted. If she became the queen, who knows how many people she would have killed.

And it was obvious that she was determined to become the Crown Princess or the Crown Princess, and she thought that Dai Yaohe and the others would not be her opponents. On the contrary, the former Crown Princess candidate made her uneasy.

"It seems they won't be able to sleep tonight." Mo Yunzhu sneered. The tall and short men must be very anxious now that they are missing.

Chang Qing continued, "The prince said that the princess is very low-key. She doesn't go out, doesn't meet anyone, and only plays the piano and drinks tea in the mansion. But the prince will always have someone monitoring her."

"Okay, I understand. You can go back and rest." Mo Yunzhu nodded.

Chang Qing said goodbye, chatted with Chang Teng for a few words at the door, and then went back to Prince Lan's Mansion.

That night, Chang Teng was very surprised that the light in the eldest lady's room had not been turned off. He saw the shadow of the eldest lady sitting on the window and writing something.

The lights didn't go out until five o'clock in the morning, but two hours later, Mo Yunzhu came out.

Soon, Mo Yunzhu came to Mo Tiancheng's study with something like a scroll in her hand.

After the door was closed, Mo Tiancheng opened the drawing paper Mo Yunzhu had given him and his old eyes lit up instantly.

"Yunzhu, I didn't expect you to have such a skill. This drawing can definitely be confused with the real thing." Mo Tiancheng looked at the old drawings of the Ministry of War's armory that Mo Yunzhu had drawn and couldn't let go.

"Dad, please compare it with the original picture to see if there are any flaws. I have changed three places here, please see if there is any problem." Mo Yunzhu said.

"Okay." Mo Tiancheng began to compare carefully, and when he found the first difference, he praised the precision and was very amazed.

After finding the second and third places, he said excitedly: "Yun Zhu, this is great. I couldn't tell at all. Although these three places are small, they can directly make the enemy have no way back after entering, and they can't get out without knowing it. It's brilliant. This is how the armory should be modified."

"Ah?" Mo Yunzhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Yun Zhu, you have improved the safety of the entire armory." The more Mo Tiancheng looked at it, the more he found it amazing.

"Hehe, I guess so." Mo Yunzhu scratched her head. She was an agent. Every place she entered was extremely dangerous. It was also a safe place to protect the enemy. If they wanted to get in, they naturally had to crack the security system.

Used in reverse, it becomes a complete security system.

"That's great, Yunzhu, then you can help improve other places." Mo Tiancheng said happily.

"Dad, apart from the fact that I will find time to improve the security of our General's Mansion, I don't want to cause any trouble elsewhere." Mo Yunzhu said immediately.

"Ahem, alright, give this to your friend."

"Dad, you trust me very much, right?" Mo Yunzhu looked at him with a smile.

Mo Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Dad only has you and Huaiqing as his daughters. Huaiqing is really a brainless girl, but you are different. Dad knows that you are well-behaved, and now I know that you are capable. In the future, this general's mansion will rely on you. If Dad doesn't trust you, who should he trust?"

Mo Yunzhu immediately smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Dad. I understand." Then she left with the drawings.

She originally wanted to ask about the blood jade, but after hearing what Mo Tiancheng said, she was afraid that her father would be sad if she told him. After all, he was the one who truly doted on her, so was her background that important?

Her background is not important to her at all. What is important is that she has Mo Tiancheng and Feng Jinyu, parents who love her. The only thing that may affect her is whether Zhuo Yu's background is related to her.

Mo Yunzhu thought as she walked, and finally she could only shake her head and let everything take its course.

In the afternoon, when Mo Yunzhu was about to go out to find Zhuo Yu to exchange incense sticks, suddenly a bell sounded in the sky of the imperial city.

The bell sounded from the direction of the palace. It was the sound of a funeral bell.

All the citizens in the imperial city were stunned. Mo Yunzhu stood there in a daze. Who died?

The bells rang one after another, and everyone was counting in their hearts.

In Qingyun, if the bell rings nine times, it means the emperor has passed away, three times means the empress has passed away, five times means the prince has passed away, and eight times means the empress dowager has passed away.

Mo Yunzhu's face turned pale, and she clenched her hands tightly as she listened to the ringing of the funeral bells.

When the sixth sound rang out, Mo Yunzhu had a worsening feeling.

When the eighth bell rang, Mo Yunzhu longed for a ninth bell, but there was no more bell ringing after the eighth bell.

"Empress Dowager, how could this be?" Mo Yunzhu murmured, and found that her eyes were already filled with tears.

"Oh my God, it's the Queen Mother!" Chang Teng said in shock immediately.

Mo Yunzhu suddenly jumped up and collided with Mo Tiancheng who rushed out at the door.

"Enter the palace!" Mo Tiancheng quickly asked someone to bring a carriage.

Mo Yunzhu kept crying, she didn't know what was going on. She didn't feel that the relationship between her and the Queen Mother was very deep. After all, she had only traveled here for a short time. But the original owner had very deep feelings for the Queen Mother, so she couldn't control her tears.

"Yunzhu..." Mo Tiancheng felt very sad seeing Mo Yunzhu crying.

"The Queen Mother must have been murdered." Although Mo Yunzhu knew that the Queen Mother was poisoned, she had checked and found that she would not die in a short time. At most, she would be a little unconscious. How could she be gone all of a sudden?

There is only one possibility, that someone killed the Queen Mother.

But the Queen Mother has already been trapped, so all she needs to do is wait. Why should we hasten her death?

Could it be that someone knew that she could cure the Queen Mother and didn't want her to get better?

Also, the person who had trapped the queen mother before was not the same person who did it this time, and the murderer did not know that the queen mother had been trapped.

Mo Yunzhu could hardly suppress the anger in her heart at this moment.

Who is so cruel to attack an old man who doesn't have long to live?

The sudden death of the Queen Mother was a huge shock to the entire Qingyun.

Court officials and royal relatives all flocked to the palace, everyone wanted to find out what was going on.

The general's carriage collided with another carriage outside the palace gate while trying to avoid a speeding carriage.

Mo Tiancheng and Mo Yunzhu got off the carriage immediately, and people also got off the carriage next to them.

As soon as everyone saw the other side's carriage logo, their faces suddenly became excited.

"I, Mo Tiancheng, have met the eldest princess before. Please forgive me for bumping into her carriage." Mo Tiancheng immediately saluted when he saw the women getting on and off the carriage.

Mo Yunzhu looked over with her red and swollen eyes. The woman in front of her was eye-catching at first glance. It was not because of her pretty facial features, but because of her innate princess temperament. Her posture and eyes made it seem as if all living beings were under her feet.
