Chapter 28 1 Trust
"My cat's intuition tells me that this cousin is the female ghost in the palace!" the uncle said firmly.
Xu Muhua thought for a while and felt that he might ask the two brothers first to confirm.
After dismissing the old cat, Xu Muhua called a bird in his yard to send a message. Half an hour later, the two brothers, Big Spot and Little Spot, came over.
"Okay, we know what you want to ask. We have already asked the ancestors of the clan. They said that the female ghost in Yikun Palace is not from the palace, and they don't know where the female ghost came from. , and when did she come? Anyway, when I found out, this female ghost was already in Yikun Palace."
As soon as Xu Muhua heard this, he knew that this female ghost was most likely Zhang Guifei's cousin.
But since she is Zhang Guifei’s cousin, why doesn’t Zhang Guifei recognize her? Didn't it mean that the relationship between the two of them was very good?
Xu Muhua confirmed: "Isn't it really a concubine who fell out of favor somewhere in the palace or was killed?"
Xiao Ban said resolutely: "Absolutely not! Our ancestor is very old, there is nothing in this palace that he doesn't know! And even if he doesn't know, his good friends also know! His good friends are older than now This emperor has been in power for a long time!"
"Isn't your bird-like lifespan about ten years?"
The current emperor has been on the throne for more than 20 years! Although she did not major in animal studies at Modern University, don’t deceive her!
"Can't we just be friends with other birds? Hmph!"
My ancestor’s friend was an eagle, a golden eagle!
"Wow, you guys are so awesome!" Xu Muhua praised without hesitation.
Xiaoban was happy, "Of course!"
It is because of this golden eagle as a backer that their clan can dominate the palace!
Xu Muhua pondered.
In this way, the clues provided by Xiaoban and Daban can be said to be conclusive, and coupled with what the uncle has collected, the female ghost in Yikun Palace is very likely to be Zhang Guifei's cousin.
It seemed that she had to go into the palace to talk to Concubine Zhang again.
He did what he said, and Xu Muhua entered the palace the next day.
For this matter, Concubine Zhang specially gave her a sign to enter the palace at any time.
Concubine Zhang now has a hundred trusts in Xu Muhua!
Because the female ghost didn't harass her last night, she had a rare good sleep!
So when the palace official reported that Xu Muhua was here, she was very enthusiastic, "Quick, quick, please come in, Miss Xu!"
When Xu Muhua came in, she was stopped by Concubine Zhang before she could salute. She held her hand affectionately and asked her to sit next to her. The look in her eyes was so friendly!
Xu Muhua almost got goosebumps all over his body!
If you don't have anything to show your courtesy, you can either rape or steal!
So Xu Muhua hurriedly said before Concubine Zhang could speak: "My queen, please step aside. I have something important to ask my queen."
Concubine Zhang immediately thought of the female ghost and hurriedly dismissed the people waiting around her, leaving only one confidant, the nanny.
Seeing this, Xu Muhua didn't say much, let alone talk in circles, and asked straight to the point: "I heard that your Majesty once had a cousin. I wonder if your Majesty still remembers what she looked like and where is she now?"
Concubine Zhang was stunned for a moment, then her expression became cold. She took back the hand that was holding Xu Muhua, and assumed the airs and aura of a beloved concubine.
"Where did you hear this? Why do you ask?"
"Your Majesty, because I suspect that the female ghost in Yikun Palace is your cousin!"
"Impossible!" Concubine Zhang's expression changed and she categorically denied it.
Xu Muhua was silent and asked: "Empress, do you think your cousin eloped with someone a few years ago?"
Concubine Zhang's eyes were filled with anger, and she looked at Xu Muhua coldly. Before she had time to get angry, she heard Xu Muhua say: "But according to my investigation, my queen's cousin did not actually elope with anyone, but died. Someone else killed her." , and the body was thrown directly into the mass grave!"
This may be one of the reasons why her cousin's ghost lingers.
Concubine Zhang's pupils shrank, "Impossible! She is still alive, she just eloped with someone!"
For a poor scholar, I lost all the past ten years! They grew up together, slept on the same bed, wore the same set of clothes, wore the same hairpin, and used the same handkerchief. What a great relationship!
But she abandoned it all for a man she had known for only a month!
Abandoned her too!
Xu Muhua sighed softly, "My dear, you grew up with her and have a good relationship with her. Don't you understand her at all? Ask yourself, is she really the kind of person who wants to fight for a man she has known for less than a month? A person who abandons everything and elopes with him?”
Guan Ji was in chaos. According to her, Concubine Zhang was blinded by anger, blinded her mind, and lost the ability to think, so she was played around by the Zhang family.
But one is a close relative and the other is a cousin. If it is really exposed, it is hard to say how Concubine Zhang will choose.
Xu Muhua's words stopped Concubine Zhang.
Several years have passed, but she still has fresh memories of what happened. Even the anger, disappointment, and disbelief at being betrayed were equally clear.
But no one said such a thing to her at all, and no one asked her to calm down and think about whether this matter was reasonable or not.She just kept complaining in her ears about how ruthless and shameless her cousin was.
The more she heard such words, the more disappointed and angry she became. In the end, she didn't want to think about this person anymore, and even had everything related to her cleared away.
She resented her in her heart.
But now that Xu Muhua said this, she couldn't help but think about it. Thinking about it like this, I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!
Yes, my cousin is not that kind of person!
She had clearly mentioned it to her more than once, saying that she had no desire to get married, and that getting married might be as free and happy as becoming a monk and a sister-in-law.As for men, they are even more unreliable. They have three wives and four concubines, hugging each other from left to right, living happily.Women have to take care of housework, be filial to their parents-in-law, have children, and have a busy life.
How could such a person elope with a man they had just known for a month?
But Xu Muhua said that she was dead, which was impossible! Who would harm her?
She grew up in the Zhang family. Although her parents did not treat her as their own daughter, they did not treat her harshly. She, the legitimate daughter of the Zhang family, has a good relationship with her, who dares to harm her?
Seemingly sensing Concubine Zhang's doubts, Xu Muhua asked, "Do you still remember why you entered the palace in the first place?"
Concubine Zhang glanced at her blankly at first, then she didn't know what she thought of, her expression suddenly changed, and the blood on her face suddenly faded away, and she became pale.
