There were no less than ten people guarding the outside of the dungeon, and three lines of defense were set up from the door of the cell to the bottom of the cell. Mu Dinghua walked to the bottom and looked at a cell that showed light from a distance, and stopped in place for a while, and then slowly walked over.

Xin Ziling was sitting at the wooden table holding her cheeks to sort out her incomprehensible thoughts, and when she heard the footsteps at the door, she raised her head and looked out of the door, Mu Dinghua was looking at her. She smiled back, and he smiled.

The cell door was opened by the guards, and Mu Dinghua walked in with his head bowed and sat down face to face with Xin Ziling. She let out a "hey" and tried to stop him, but it was too late.

He asked, "What's wrong?"

She said, "It's dirty and cold on the ground, so you just sit like that?"

He said as a matter of course, "Don't you sit like that?" ”

The real cell of the perched wood forest is not in the wooden mansion, and the dungeon here is almost useless, and she is the only one in the entire dungeon. The emotion in Mu Dinghua's voice is especially evident in this silence and emptiness.

Xin Ziling smiled a little embarrassedly, seeing that Mu Dinghua didn't speak again, Mu Dinghua said: "I read your letter, don't worry, I will never marry Lu Zifan." ”

She nodded: "Then you can hand me over." With firmness in his eyes: "You don't have to come to tell me that it won't be good if I have the talisman you sent." She remembered the pain caused by Lu Zihuan's injury that night, but she still couldn't help but be afraid, but still insisted: "I will run as soon as I have the opportunity on the road." ”

He shook his head: "You look at me like this, do you think I will hand you over to Lu Kun?"

She said sincerely: "No, but he wants you to hand over someone, and if you hand me over, everything will be settled." I can now master the purple fire very well, and the sword is also good. ”

"There is a solution to this matter," he said. ”

"What is it?" Xin Ziling asked eagerly, "I can do whatever I want." ”

A light flashed in his eyes, and his voice was a little lower: "I need a real lady so that she may die of this heart." ”

Xin Ziling was stunned for a moment, her brows furrowed involuntarily, and she seriously considered the possible candidates. In addition to this arrogant and domineering Lu Zihuan, there is also a princess Leng Qingyu who once wanted to kill her.

That princess is pretty, but in her heart, she is too ruthless, and she is even more ruthless than Lu Zifan. Xin Ziling shook her head and thought about it again, there are many daughters of unknown clans who admire Mu Dinghua, but they are not as famous as these two, but it doesn't matter if they are famous or not, the most important thing is that it is in line with his heart.

She asked tentatively, "Have you already thought about it?"

He nodded very lightly: "Yes, I thought about it." ”

She further asked, "Which one of them......?" It has to be a good character. ”

He laughed and said, "Very good conduct." ”

She let out a long sigh like a worried old mother: "That's good," and there was a hint of relaxation on her face: "You also came here to tell me that I must not recognize that girl, but you must be a wonderful girl to be seen." I'll prepare a congratulatory gift another day. She thought about it, and couldn't think of what kind of congratulatory gift she could get her hands on.

She said, "The best thing I have is that jade pendant, and I've given it to you." He smiled embarrassedly: "Next time, I'll find a matching jade pendant and make a pair for you." ”

Mu Dinghua looked at her, and waited for her to finish chattering before she spoke: "Your jade pendant is indeed excellent, you don't have to look for the other one, I will create one that fits you." ”

She nodded: "Well, but I'll do it myself, how can I let you do everything." After saying that, he felt that something was wrong, and then said, "Why do you want to prepare?"

He smiled and said, "I don't know any other girl, and if I want to marry a lady, it's you." Of course, I'll give you that jade pendant that fits right. ”

Xin Ziling was stunned for a while, and understood Mu Dinghua's words well. He is now looking for a girl to marry, so as to get rid of Lu Zihuan's unrealistic expectations and fantasies about him. But he doesn't have a girl he likes, so he wants her to do him a favor, or has he always liked her since the last time?

She looked at him with a wistful look in her eyes. Mu Dinghua said, "Are you willing to help me?"

If it's just a favor, it's really not a big deal, she's alone now, and it's nothing to help. She replied, "If you marry me, you can help you, of course I agree." ”

Mu Dinghua nodded, saw that she looked preoccupied and poured a cup of tea for herself: "When I finish dealing with the matter in front of me, we will handle the family affairs." ”

She was stunned for a while, and realized that Mu Dinghua's bride was her, and she was not used to associating herself with him, so she nodded in agreement. I don't know what to say at this time, so it's impossible to discuss the details of marriage with him. When the protagonist is replaced by her, she can't talk naturally, she is a little embarrassed, and the atmosphere suddenly becomes a little weird.

Mu Dinghua stood up: "You can mention anything you need to them, and I will take you out in a few days." ”

Xin Ziling nodded, thought about it, stood up and looked at him with a smile, and said proudly: "Fang Cai is a little unaccustomed to me, don't worry, there is nothing difficult about this errand, I will definitely do a good job." ”

He smiled again, and the sparkle in his eyes was the best color she had ever seen. She watched him walk out of the cell, his footsteps drifting away, and her heart calmed down. She wanted a home so much, but when she finally felt that she had found it, it was just a dream.

Now she has a home again, but it's not what she wants, and it's something she's going to give up at any moment. Xin Ziling took a deep breath, and the cool breath in the dungeon was secreted from her mouth and nose into her body, if she could repay Mu Dinghua's kindness, it would also make her feel at ease.

The shadow in the dark night did not follow Mu Dinghua away, and circled around the dungeon several times and found that there was no place to start, so it disappeared.

Before dawn, outside the courtyard where Mu Dinghua was resting, there was the voice of Lu Kunxing's questioning. A large jar with aquatic flowers at the gate of the courtyard was shattered by a punch from one of Lu Kun's men, and the lilac double-petaled flowers flowed down the water accumulated in the jar.

Mu Dinghua stood on the steps and looked at the group of people standing in the courtyard, glanced at the aquatic flowers on the ground, and his voice did not fluctuate: "What's wrong?"

Lu Kun turned around in front of Mu Dinghua and slapped the attendant who broke the jar to the ground, and the scene was indeed done with one palm, and the blood from the corner of the man's mouth flowed out in an instant. He turned around and came back: "The people below are at fault, and if they are wrong, they are wrong!

Mu Dinghua didn't speak, and looked at Lu Kun quietly. Lu Kun said: "Is the king still satisfied? if you are not satisfied, I will kill you to vent your anger!"

Mu Dinghua's tone was still the same, and he said, "Old Lu, what do you want to tell me?" ”

Lu Kun's nose trembled, and his face was gloomy: "If the people under him make a mistake, they should be punished, and this is true for me, and it is also for the king." But I heard that in the past two days, the king's people have sent a lot of things to the dungeon, and they have a lot of food and clothing. The king is so unfair, there will inevitably be something about the tryst in the middle of the night, how do you handle this matter impartially, you said to listen to it, your lord!"

Mu Dinghua's voice was faint, as if soaked in cold water: "How can you know better than me, the master, what is happening in my house?"

Lu Kun snorted coldly: "There are many people in the house, and there are always people who say something, what, are these things I heard fake?"

Mu Dinghua said: "She is a guest in the house, if someone sends her something, it can only be said that she is doing things properly and making friends with the people in the house on weekdays, as for you saying that Benjun had a tryst with her, I would like to hear it, this rumor is about how Benjun had a tryst with her?"

Lu Kun was stunned, his people had been staring at Mu Dinghua at night, but of course he didn't know what happened in the dungeon in the middle of the night, so he snorted coldly twice and changed the topic: "I haven't found anything for three days, but an outsider, kill it." Your lord's doing this will make people feel that you are reluctant, can you take a fancy to this foreigner?

His eyes widened: "The monarch doesn't take us old ministers in his eyes, I followed the old monarch from birth to death for so many years, but now I am not even as good as an outsider?"

Mu Dinghua was listening to him lively, and suddenly someone came in and said something to Mu Zixian, Zixian calmly walked to Mu Dinghua and whispered a few words. Mu Dinghua raised his head when he heard this, and looked at Lu Kun with a smug look on his face, as if everything was under his control.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the other two retainers of the older generation of the Mu family arrived, walked into the courtyard one after the other, and saluted Mu Dinghua, with an unknown look on their faces, but the words asked were surprisingly unanimous: "Your Majesty, I came to report on my work today, and I happened to hear about it." After speaking, he was extremely surprised and said, "What kind of outsider can actually hurt the little niece? Has the monarch already disposed of this person? Why are Elder Lu's guards still injured?"

The two men had arrived at the perch early in the morning, just to see that the time had appeared at this node in a coincidental way. The corners of Mu Dinghua's mouth couldn't help but smile, Lu Kun thought that he married Lu Zihuan in order to subdue him, this abacus was so delicate, it was really difficult for him to worry so much.

After so many years, I thought that these two elders had cleared their minds, but I don't know when they got involved with Lu Kun again.

The two elders respectfully took two steps forward, and the two of them persuaded: "The relationship between the king and the little niece for so many years can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence in the clan, and now it is really not worth it to be angry with his future father-in-law for this matter. ”

After saying bitterly, the two of them cautiously looked up at Mu Dinghua, who had returned to his original cold appearance, but nodded very cautiously: "The two of you came to report on their work half a month in advance, and they have a heart." Of course, there must be an explanation for this matter, and if you marry me, you will naturally marry. Once everything is clear, let's get down to business.

There was ice in his eyes, but there was a smile on his face, and his voice was like a bird floating on the water: "Ten days, now there are seven days, I will definitely give you an explanation." ”
