Chapter 163 Adulterer Gongzhu Is Caught in Bed and Abolished [2]

Because of her miscarriage, Second Gongzhu had not been able to attend the gatherings that Zi You had attended. So, she did not recognize Zi You.

After a girl who was beautiful enough to confuse all living beings curtsy to her, she immediately asked Third Wangzi curiously, "Third brother, who is this beautiful xiaojie? How come Bengong has never seen her before?"

Third Wangzi immediately replied, "She is Mu Zi You, Old General Mu's Di granddaughter."

So, it was the little girl who made Shangguan Lingluo eat a loss. Second Gongzhu's original arrogant and contemptuous expression immediately changed. She chuckled and said, "Oh! You're the Mu Xiaojie who made Shangguan Lingluo's dress fall down. No wonder you're so beautiful!"

"Chennu doesn't dare." Zi You smiled modestly. She began to fawn over Second Gongzhu. "Second Gongzhu is a peony of national grace and divine fragrance. Chennu has long heard of and wanted to see Second Gongzhu."

"Haha......" Everyone wanted to hear pleasant things. Second Gongzhu was not an exception. She laughed beautifully. "You're really so loveable with your little mouth! You had Taizi call Bengong here, right?"

Zi You immediately smiled in embarrassment. "How can Chennu order Taizi around? Taizi saw that Chennu admired his imperial sister, so he called you here. Taizi is proud to have a sister like you!"

She then seemed to notice that Taizi wasn't there. She pretended to ask in concern, "Where is Taizi? Did he really get drunk?"

"Taizi gege was called away by fourth sister's palace maid." Third Wangzi said with ridicule and jealously as he coldly replied.

"Oh......" Zi You pretended to suddenly realize. She said jealously, "Fourth Gongzhu is really blessed. She has such a good brother like Taizi caring about her. Ah! How envious!"

"Haha." Ke Yunfeng laughed. "It's easy if Mu Xiaojie wants a brother. Make an appeal and many people will be willing to act as a guardian angel."

His words were frivolous. Zi You was displeased and simply ignored him.

At this time, the plum blossom grove was in front of them. There really were large plum blossom trees in front of Ronghua Palace Hall. There were not only wintersweets, but more than 200 other varieties of plum blossoms.

Suddenly, Zi You put up her right index finger and made a "shush" sound. "...... Hmm? It looks like someone is already in the plum blossom grove."

The other people also pricked up their ears. They really heard faint conversation coming from the plum blossom grove. They seemed to be a man and a woman.

Zi You took the lead and lightly walked towards the plum blossom grove. The others crept behind her. Now, they could hear very clearly. The man's voice was hoarse, with an indescribable charm. "Do you dislike Mu Zi You? I often see you glaring at her. Do you have a grudge against her?"

"What grudge can I have against her?" The woman's voice was sweet; so sweet that it could kill someone. "I was just standing up for Fourth Gongzhu. That darned yatou is too arrogant. She forced a dignified Gongzhu to apologize to her. Isn't Shizi Ye very angry too?"

"En. That darned yatou is really annoying." The man's lazy voice sounded. "Fourth meimei is too silly though. She has to compete with that yatou in whatever talent contest. If it was me, I would have dragged her over and slapped her ugly face a few times until her teeth scatter to the ground."

"Haha......" The woman laughed nonstop. Everyone seemed to be able to see her laughing beautifully. But her words were arrogant and venomous, making people turn cold. "Shizi Ye, you think that everyone can be as willful as you? Even if Fourth Gongzhu is doted on by the Emperor, she still cannot beat up the Di granddaughter of the pillar of the country, Old General Mu.

"But with Fourth Gongzhu's vengeful personality, do you think that she will let Mu Zi You off? Didn't you hear that Mu Zi You was almost killed when she was hunting in the mountains? That was done by Fourth Gongzhu."

"En!" At this time, everyone standing with Zi You, including Third Wangzi all looked at Zi You in shock.

Zi You's little face suddenly turned white. Her body shivered like autumn leaves in the wind. She rushed towards the plum blossom grove regardless of everything.

The others were afraid that something would happen, so they quickly walked into the depths of the plum blossom grove. The man and woman were actually Yu Meilian and Shangguan LingRan.

Shangguan LingRan was in a better position. There was a guard and eunuch next to him. But Yu Meilian didn't even have a maidservant around her. She stood there under a plum blossom tree and looked affectionately at Shangguan LingRan, who was leaning lazily against a plum blossom tree and smiling devilishly and charmingly.

Zi You walked over to Yu Meilian. It was as if her body was covered with frost. She enunciated coldly, "How do you know that it was Fourth Gongzhu who sent someone to assassinate me?"

Yu Meilian suddenly saw so many people appear in the plum blossom grove and was stunned silly. She looked disbelievingly at Zi You and was tongue-tied. "I...... What did you say? When did I say that...... Say that Fourth Gongzhu sent...... Sent people to assassinate you?"

Zi You's face turned even colder. She suddenly turned around and looked at Third Wangzi and the other people who came here with her. Her deep spring-like eyes slowly became misty. The gradual mist condensed into two crystal clear beads of tears that hung on her butterfly-like eyelashes. She slowly turned to Third Wangzi. Her beautiful eyes were like a deep pool, as if they wanted to suck him inside. She sighed with grievance as she asked, "Third Wangzi, you heard it, right?"

Then she turned to Second Gongzhu, "Second Gongzhu, you also heard too right?"

Second Gongzhu immediately nodded. She sneered nonstop in her heart. Shangguan Lingluo, you keep stealing my things. Today, I want you to give them all back.

Third Wangzi saw Zi You like this and his heart couldn't help but pain. It was the first time that he had seen such a weak and helpless Zi You.

After his heartache, he felt as if his soul was captured and he nodded. "Yes, Benwangzi heard it. We all heard it."

He turned and looked at the three men and two women who had come along. His voice contained an implied threat as he asked, "You heard too, right?"

How could they not hear a voice that loud? Third Wangzi had already confirmed it. If they denied it, they would offend not only Mu Zi You, but also Third Wangzi.

But if they testified, they would certainly offend Fourth Gongzhu, Yu Meilian, and Shangguan LingRan. There was also Yu Maorui, Yu Meilian's brother, who especially who wanted to help his sister.

The five people looked at each other. Just when they were in a difficult spot, Shangguan LingRan huffily blocked in front of Yu Meilian. He shouted at Zi You, "So what if you heard it? It wasn't Yu Xiaojie who sent someone to kill you. Why are you being fierce to her? If you have the ability, go find Fourth Gongzhu and don't bully Yu Xiaojie, okay?"

Yu Meilian saw that Shangguan LingRan was helping her and was suddenly excited. Her brain was warm and her rationality was gone. She also shouted at Zi You, "Yes, it doesn't have anything to do with me. I...... I didn't do anything." I just helped send a letter. Of course, even if she died, she couldn't say the last sentence out loud.

Her brother Yu Maorui secretly cried out, 'This is bad!'

Wasn't she telling everything that this matter was done by Shangguan Lingluo then? It would be strange if Shangguan Lingluo would let his sister off!

Yu Maorui was anxious. He went over and slapped Yu Meilian. He angrily shouted, "You're still not going back?"

Zi You coldly smiled and didn't say anything. She rubbed her eyes and started walking out of the plum blossom grove.

"You'er!" Third Wangzi quickly followed her. "Where are you going? Don't go find fourth meimei. She will hurt you if she goes crazy. Hey!"

He chased after Zi You while he anxiously ordered his eunuch Xiao Yuanzi, "Hurry and tell Fuwang and Old General Mu that Mu Xiaojie will get into a fight. Hurry and go! Benwangzi is afraid that something will happen."

These wangzis' attendants were experienced people just like their masters. Xiao Yuanzi nodded and immediately understood what he should do.

Thus, he ran to find the Emperor and Old General Mu.

Actually, Third Wangzi was extremely happy. Shangguan Lingluo belonged to Taizi and the Empress' camp. Her words and deeds could not represent the Empress or Taizi, but she could not get rid of the relationship with Taizi and the Empress. At the very least, there would be a charge of failure to discipline. And Third Wangzi would greatly benefit if Old General Mu became dissatisfied with Taizi and the Empress.

Third Wangzi had countless thoughts in the blink of an eye. He immediately caught up and whispered to Zi You, "You'er, where are you going? Are you looking for Fuwang or fourth meimei? Fourth meimei is with Taizi gege in Yaohua Palace. Fuwang and the officials are......"

"There's no need to disturb the Emperor. This is something between Chennu and Fourth Gongzhu......." He didn't finish speaking before Zi You coldly interrupted him. "Chennu just wants to ask Fourth Gongzhu how she can send someone to kill Chennu but make friends with Chennu at the same time. Chennu just wants to know if Yu Xiaojie spoke the truth."

Go! Go ask! It's better to make the situation as big as possible! Second Gongzhu and Third Wangzi shouted in their hearts.

But they looked worried on the surface. Third Wangzi pretended to be worried and said, "You'er, fourth meimei is spoiled rotten by Taizi and Muhou. If you go find her, I'm afraid that she will hurt you. Or wait for Fuwang or Old General Mu to come. I already sent someone to inform them."

Second Gongzhu's words were provoking. "You'er, why don't you forget about it? That darned yatou is undisciplined and out of control! She doesn't even put me in her eyes."

"So what?" Zi You looked fearlessly at Third Wangzi. "Even an imperial relative needs to abide with the country's laws. Can she kill someone for no reason? Chennu doesn't believe that Fourth Gongzhu can hide the truth from the masses!"
