So housekeeper Chen has a deep memory.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, looking at Mu Cen: "Niang Niang, not long after Xiaocui died, the second young lady also got sick, and she also got sick for a month. She didn't see people very much. It seemed that something had grown on her face, and she didn't want to see the doctor."
Mu Cen narrowed his eyes: "Chen Zhirong just doesn't care?"
"The people in the second room have no choice, and the second young lady's temper is not so bad. In the end, she can only feel the pulse of the second young lady through the curtain, but there is no abnormality, so she may have something on her face and don't want to see people." Housekeeper Chen explained.
"What else happened then?" Mu Cen asked again.
"Yes." Housekeeper Chen nodded, "it's because Xiaocui died, and there is no slave beside the second lady, so Xiaolian followed the second lady, but unexpectedly, in less than three months, Xiaolian offended the second lady, and then the second lady was executed."
It's nice to be executed.
Mu Cen knows Chen Zhirong's character and can imagine how Xiaolian died.
So these two people disappeared quietly in the palace.
Just this time point, let Mu Cen feel coincidence incomparable.
She looked at Mu Zhanxiao, who frowned and said quickly: "if so, we can assume that Xiaocui is the current MU Zhihua, so Xiaocui died in less than half a year, and Mu Zhihua didn't want to see anyone for a month because she changed her face and needed to be repaired. And she replaces Mu Zhihua, and Xiaocui has to die. "
Mu Zhanxiao connected up: "and later, Xiaolian, who was sent to serve on this fake Mu Zhihua painting, may have discovered the secret by accident, and then she was executed."
Mu Cen nodded.
Mu Zhanxiao's idea is exactly the same as what he predicted.
Only in this way can everything be reasonable.
"Steward Chen, has anyone ever been in the courtyard before Mu Zhihua?" Mu Cen asked.
Housekeeper Chen thought, "except for Chen Zhirong, Mu Zhihua won't let people in. Those who go in are those who are close to them. "
Speaking of the slave around Mu Zhihua, housekeeper Chen suddenly thought of something: "this slave is also Mu Zhihua's own choice. Not long after Xiaolian's death, Mu Zhihua found it himself. Chen Zhirong is very fond of Mu Zhihua and naturally will not object to it. "
That is the later Qiuxiang.
And Qiuxiang was already executed in the palace.
So are Qiu Xiang and Mu Zhi painting the same people?
If so, we can understand the reason why Qiuxiang came and went freely in Muzhi painting.
"Is there anything unusual about Mu Zhi's paintings these years?" Mu Cen asked again.
"That's nothing." Housekeeper Chen thought for a moment, "it's just that Mu Zhihua's health is not good. Basically, there will be a doctor in three months. Later, the doctor is fixed, and Mu Zhihua doesn't reject him. Chen Zhirong has gone with Mu Zhihua."
All the clues became clearer.
Mu Cen didn't hesitate: "I'll go to her."
"Yes." Housekeeper Chen answered.
Soon housekeeper Chen took Mu Cen to the courtyard where Mu Zhihua lived. Mu Zhihua lived in a courtyard that was not as lively as before. Now it's quiet, and there are no slaves.
"After she entered the palace, the courtyard was also closed to outsiders, so there was no slave here to clean it up. Only when she comes back will the slaves come in and clean up. But she seldom comes back Housekeeper Chen explained.
Mu Cen nodded and said nothing.
Soon, Mu Cen pushed the door in: "you go out first."
"Yes." Housekeeper Chen did not dare to hesitate and went out immediately.
Mu Zhanxiao and Mu Cen walk into the house together.
Mu Zhihua's house is not small, and it also has a separate hot spring pool. Because Mu Zhihua likes to soak in hot springs, Mu Hongyuan will satisfy all his ideas.
"Look carefully." Mu Cen calmly said, "there should be a secret passage or a dark room.
Mu Zhanxiao nodded.
Soon, they found it in Mu Zhihua's house, but they did not find anything unusual until they looked out at the hot spring pool at the same time.
Mu Cen and Mu Zhanxiao exchanged a look, and then walked towards the hot spring pool.
On the edge of the hot spring pool, Mu Cen undoubtedly touched a stone, and then a secret door of the basement was opened. Mu Cen's eyebrows narrowed slightly, and Mu Zhanxiao also looked at the location of the secret door.
There was a damp smell in the dark door.
It's natural that we don't see the sun all the year round.
And there was such a secret road in King Mu's mansion, which no one thought of.
"I'll go down first." Mu Zhanxiao said it directly.
Mu Cen nodded.
Soon, Mu Zhanxiao walked down the secret road. After confirming that there was no problem below, Mu Zhanxiao let Mu Cen follow him. They entered the secret room.
There was only the light of the torch in the secret room, and the light of the torch was too weak to be weak any more.
I'm afraid no one has been here for a long time.
Mu Zhanxiao and Mu Cen walked all the way here until they came to a cell. Mu Zhanxiao and Mu Cen just looked at each other. They saw a skinny man curling up in the cell. They didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
"Go in and have a look." Mu Cen said it directly.
Mu Zhanxiao leads ahead, and Mu Cen follows in.
The people in the dungeon seem to have lost their breath, but what scares people is not her skinny appearance, but her face.
It's like being skinned.
"Know painting?" Mu Zhanxiao began to cry.
The man who was in a coma still didn't respond. Mu Zhanxiao sniffed: "he's still alive. Maybe he passed out. It's impossible to see people like this. And this place... "
Mu Zhanxiao took a look.
These foods are all prepared in advance, and dry food is put for two or three months at a time. It's a miracle that we can struggle until now by relying on these food and the water in the dungeon.
"Take her up first, cover her face." Mu Cen explained it carefully.
"Good." Mu Zhanxiao holds up Mu Zhihua.
Mu Zhihua still has no response.
Soon, Mu Zhanxiao and Mu Cen return to the house with Mu Zhihua. When housekeeper Chen sees them coming up with someone in their arms, he is also stunned. But soon, housekeeper Chen calms down.
"Find a slave to clean the room, a slave with a tight mouth." Mu Cen explained it carefully.
"I know." Housekeeper Chen answered, "don't worry."
Soon, housekeeper Chen hurried out of the door.
And Mu Zhanxiao has put Mu Zhihua on the bed. Mu Cen quickly feels the pulse for mu Zhihua, and her brow is very tight. "I don't know if I can save her. It's almost life on the line. I'll take care of these wounds, and the rest will depend on my life. Even if you survive, your life will be wasted. "
