The prince pondered for a moment and looked at Mu Zhifu again. "If what you say is true, this palace will forgive you the sin of disrespect today. If you injure the guards of the main palace, the main palace can also ignore you. ”

Mu Zhifu smiled faintly: "The grass people don't dare to deceive His Royal Highness the Prince, what I said is true." ”

"This farmer's illness ......," Xiao Jinche was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"I really can't cure this farmer's illness without five thousand taels of silver, and I ask Your Highness to forgive me. ”

The prince pondered for a moment: "Since it was the palace that ate his medicinal food, the palace will send him back to Beijing to find the imperial doctor to treat him." It's getting dark......"

Mu Zhifu's heart sank, Xiao Jinche, a bastard, treats human life like a mustard, how can he be so kind to send people back to Beijing? I'm afraid he wants to kill people in secret.

Although she hated the farmer, she still felt that he was not guilty of death.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly said: "Your Highness, this person's condition is very serious, and he has been delayed for half a day. If you don't get treatment in time, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive for a few hours. ”

"This ......" Xiao Jinche looked stunned, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and there was a little complaint in her eyes: "In this case, why is Miss Mu obsessed with money and refuses to come to the rescue?"

Mu Zhifu's face sank when she heard this, she looked at the Hongmen disciples, and then at Xiao Jinche. "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I am not related to this person, because I have done my best to see him pitiful. But what about you? You are also from Daliang, you first took his life-saving medicinal food, and then you were unwilling to contribute compensation, but you came to force me, an outsider, to help. Is this the folk customs of Daliang?"

The prince's face turned black in an instant, how could he spend five thousand taels of silver for a pariah?

The faces of the Hongmen people are not good-looking. In order to clear themselves, they all looked at Yan Ruoxi viciously.

Mu Zhifu didn't want to embarrass others, only the prince she wanted to pit.

She also knew that one life was not enough for the prince to pay, so she changed her words: "Besides, in the current situation, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worth spending 10,000 taels." ”

Xiao Jinche was stunned and looked at her suspiciously.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ever thought that your personal capture of the blue bird for Princess Xichu this time will definitely be a good story. Mu Zhifu asked.

The prince did not answer, but the smug look on his face said it all, and he planned it that way.

Mu Zhifu said with a smile: "Then if people talk about this good story every time, they will mention that you do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to save your own people, wouldn't this be the icing on the cake?

The prince's eyes flashed after hearing this. Yes, if it is usually a pariah's life, it is naturally not worth five thousand taels, but at this moment it is different. Five thousand taels for a well-known name, it's worth it!

"When you say that, it's as if this palace is saving people for the sake of fame. Xiao Jinche seemed to ask.

"Naturally not, but there is no need for His Highness to do good deeds and deliberately cover it up, that seems hypocritical. Mu Zhifu was relieved with a clear conscience.

The prince was very satisfied: "What Miss Mu said is extremely true. In this way, the girl was bothered to save the farmer as soon as possible. The people of this palace, I can't bear it for a moment of pain. ”

Xiao Jinche said, glancing at the guards beside him. The guard understood, took out a stack of silver tickets and handed it to Mu Zhifu.

Mu Zhifu unceremoniously took the silver ticket, and made sure that it was five thousand taels a lot, so she took it into her arms.

The corners of the prince's mouth twitched: "Come on, take Miss Mu to the kitchen to make medicinal food." ”

The kitchen is still the kitchen of the small courtyard, but this time Xiao Jinche sent someone to watch it. Mu Zhifu also took the trouble to marinate the ingredients with "medicine" for a pillar of incense.

In less than half an hour, four dishes and one soup with all the colors and flavors were brought into the farmers' tents.

According to the prince's orders, the woman in yellow fed the farmers.

The woman in yellow was so angry that she actually wanted to feed a pariah. And in order to establish her kind and beautiful image, she has to pretend to be very happy.

What made her even more disgusting was that the poison of the peasant households was relieved halfway through the meal, but she still shamelessly let her feed her, and peeked at her with squinting eyes.

The color heart of the farmer was not born at this moment, such a little beauty took care of him for a long time, and he was already itching. It's just that I was tortured by poison before, and I don't have that physical strength.

After eating and drinking, he claimed to thank the prince, and as soon as he stood up, he pretended that he was not standing firmly, and threw the woman in yellow on the bed.

The woman was shocked and angry, and quickly pushed him away. But in the struggle, I have eaten all the tofu.

Whatever her purpose, she devoted herself to the treatment of the peasant for half a day, and made an exception to feed the untouchable, but as soon as the man was cured, she was so light.

The woman in yellow couldn't hold back any longer. She drew her dagger and was about to kill the farmer.

The farmer turned and ran, and the woman chased after him with a knife.

The prince waited under the big tree at the entrance of the village for an hour, and saw such a scene.

Mu Zhifu yawned elegantly: "Your Highness, the person is fine." I'm going to go into the mountains tomorrow, so I'll go back and rest first. ”

Xiao Jinche's face was very ugly, what is this? But thinking about the ten spiritual energy crystals and the good name that was about to be obtained, he endured it.

When everyone went back to their rooms to rest, it was already the third watch.

Hongxiao still didn't come back, and Mu Zhifu had a bad premonition in her heart.

It's not that she's worried about Hongxiao's safety, but Hongxiao has been quite abnormal lately, and she always feels as if something is about to happen.

Xie Nianqing comforted her a few words, but she couldn't resist the attack of drowsiness, and she fell asleep.

Mu Zhifu couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so she simply sat up, wanting to practice for a while. found that there was a figure standing quietly in the courtyard.

The man, dressed in a crescent white shirt, looked up into the distance. The slender figure glows with endless nobility, shining with the bright moon in the sky. It is like a fairy in the moon descending to the world, clean and dusty, without half of the worldly atmosphere.

He looked at the horizon, and the people in the room looked at him, and time seemed to stand still.

In her later life, Mu Zhifu also recalled tonight countless times, and repeatedly looked forward to it - if life is only as it was when I first saw it.

She peeked blankly for a long time, and the people in the courtyard suddenly turned their heads to look at her, with a smile in their eyebrows and eyes, and endless tenderness in their eyes.

Mu Zhifu was caught red-handed, her little face turned red, she was embarrassed to hide again, so she simply put on a coat and walked out of the house.

"Zhifu. Lu Rongmu looked at her and whispered softly, and her clear and pleasant voice echoed in the moonlight, as if it was a spell, imprinted in the years, lingering.

Mu Zhifu slowly walked in front of him and stood still, and asked lightly, "It's so late, why don't you sleep?"

"Didn't you sleep either?" Lu Rongmu replied.

The two stopped talking, just stood quietly. The July night has a hint of warmth, which makes people a little trance.

After a long time, Lu Rongmu took another step closer and stretched out his hand to tuck the broken hair of her sideburns behind her ears. He said softly: "Tomorrow Hongshan is dangerous, it is better to be careful in everything." If you can, don't go in. ”
