Chapter 8: The Mysterious Man in Black
Mu Xuan was finally released from the Metropolitan Procuratorate after being locked up for half a month. During this half a month, he was drowned in cold water again and again, and each time when he felt like he was going to die. The water in the dungeon receded again.
Three times a day, once and again, it did not fall. And the medicine he was carrying with him was burned along with the clothes he had changed, because no one thought that the fallen prince would still be able to get out alive.
So when he walked out of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he was also wearing a prison uniform and looked like a wolf. Mu Xuan has found that this winter is so cold, even the wind blowing is so biting.
Mu Xuanleng's teeth squeaked. He instinctively hugged himself. When he looked up, Mu Bo was dressed in white and wearing a fox fur cloak, standing not far from him. A very warm smile was revealed. Even the curvature of the corners of the mouth is so in place. With loving eyes, Mu Xuan couldn't move away.
Mu Bao walked in front of Mu Xuan and draped the cloak beside him on Mu Xuan, and Mu Xuan immediately felt a burst of warmth. I don't know if it's because I relax when I see such a smile. Or is it because Mu Xuan is really tired.
He had the strength to fall on the shoulder of the wooden silk and asked, "Is there anyone on the castle tower?"
"There are two people"
Two people? Hehe, Mu Xuan squeezed out a bleak smile, "How to say, I became like this, there are also reasons for you, so you must help me into the carriage perfectly, and don't let them see my down-and-out appearance"
"Yes." Mu Bo agreed angrily. smiled and helped Mu Xuan bring the hat on the cloak, which was Mu Xuan's unexpected arm pulling over the head of the wooden silk. This action makes almost every other's pores visible to those who are close to each other.
Mu Bo blinked his eyes a few times before he understood Mu Xuan's intentions. two people on the castle tower, and two people in the west corner of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Look at this extremely ambiguous action under the hat mask.
After a while, Mu Xuan let go of Mu Bao, Zhang Chenyi didn't see what she and Mu Xuan were doing, only saw the blush on Mu Xuan's pale face. And a touching smile.
"Let's go, otherwise I won't be able to act" Mu Bozhi was so relaxed because she didn't see Zhang Chenyi and Princess Shuxian under the west corner at all.
"I saw that you acted very well, but suddenly, I found that the two of us have a tacit understanding. Or? You try to be with me," Mu Xuan joked. The reason why he did that just now was to see Zhang Chenyi and Princess Shuxian side by side, in order not to let this woman as pitiful as himself. Once again, innocent hurt.
"Come on, I'm a woman from a good family, and again, I only have feelings for my brother for you. There is no love between men and women."
"Who is your brother? I remember correctly, I was a year or two older than you. According to this etiquette, you should call me, Brother Mu Xuan" Mu Xuan's body is not as cold as just now because of a cloak.
"To give you a look, are you really crawling? Believe it or not, I'll take the cloak away and won't wear it for you," Mu Xuan gestured to take off Mu Xuan's cloak. Mu Xuan hid beside Jiang Yi, who was driving the carriage.
But before his ass was hot, he was blown away by Yue'er on Jiang Yi's side. Helplessly, he could only sit in the carriage as if he was being bullied by everyone. This qiฤ is on the city tower, and the two pairs in the west corner seem to be nothing more than flirting.
As soon as Mu Bao entered the carriage, Mu Xuan looked nervously looking for something.
"What are you looking for?" Mu Bo asked worriedly.
After the carriage turned around, Jiang Yi didn't know where to take out a package. Thrown into the carriage, Mu Xuan opened the package in a panic, which contained the clothes he wore in prison and the porcelain vase dagger he carried with him.
Mu Xuan picked up the dagger and cut it under his wrist several times before calming down. Finally, I poured a few pills out of the porcelain bottle and put them down. Jiang Yi, who was driving the carriage, had not used medicine to suppress his bloodthirsty madness earlier. The consequences may be unimaginable.
Although Mu Bao knew, this was something that Mu Xuan had to go through to survive. But no matter how many times she watched it, she was still terrified. No matter how you look at it, it is your own disease that is the safest.
The carriage stopped in front of Mu Xuan's small mansion. At this time, Prince Lian, because Prince Lian hardly returned to the mansion, looked even more cold and cold.
The cold winter is about to pass away. But whether the warm spring can come, who knows?
"Mu Wangfu, Mu Xuan, begging to see" Gonggong Xu's voice was still so sharp and thin.
"Let him in"
"The guilty minister meets the emperor" Listening to Mu Xuan's voice that suddenly turned heavy and sassang, Han Xuan's face also changed.
As everyone knows, this small change in him made Emperor Gao Xian, who was already jealous, very unhappy. Emperor Gao Xian left the dragon couch in the Heart Cultivation Palace, walked lightly to Mu Xuan, who was kneeling and bowing, and squatted down. In a voice so small that only the two of them could hear it,
"I can let go of Mu Wangfu, but I want you to stay in Jingzhou to be your prince, but I can't have anything to do with Han Yu for the rest of my life."
Mu Xuan, who was kneeling on the ground, closed his eyes tightly and returned helplessly and painfully: "Lord Longen." โ
Emperor Gao Xian sneered, returned to the low table and took out the holy decree that had been written long ago. Throw it in front of Mu Xuan. Mu Xuan's white fingers trembled and clenched the holy decree in his hand.
"Lords of the Lords"
Mu Xuan saluted again and turned to leave, and he didn't raise his head the whole time. But he clearly felt that gaze had been fixed on him.
It didn't take long, and the heavily guarded Muwang Mansion all retreated. Mu Chi also had Huang Chao personally sent back, although Mu Chi was not so wolf-bรจi. But how could Mu Xuan not know?
He, the elder brother who has always had a heart higher than the sky and a bigger spirit than the earth, even if he dies, it is estimated that he will maintain the demeanor of a king.
The two brothers, who had gone through great life and death, said nothing. Just looked at each other and smiled. Just brush this matter that no one wants to mention. The last one was really forgotten by everyone very quickly
Because something bigger is happening. That is the family affair of the eldest princess Shuxian. Xiao Junmo naturally disagreed with Zhang Chenyi's choice in his heart. But I have no choice for a long time.
"What about Steward Li?" Xiao Junmo casually found a seemingly uncritical but practical question.
"Junmo, you say?"
"I said? What can I do? Think of me at this time? Need I say?"
Xiao Junmo started to complain, it wasn't something that could be stopped for a while. Zhang Chenyi hurriedly stopped.
"Send him to Youzhou"
"Okay, I'll leave it to you"
Steward Li said goodbye to Zhang Chenyi with tears. After Steward Li got into the carriage, he had just left the city gate for a long time, and the carriage stopped, and the groom was stabbed before he could make a sound.
"Still not coming out?" Steward Li's face was as pale as a dead corpse, and his broad forehead twitched in pain. In the end, he could only get out of the carriage with a sigh of rage.
"Spare your life, young master. I have done what you have commanded. Didn't the eldest princess already do what she had planned? Steward Li glanced at a man dressed in black and masked.
"So? Are you ready to leave Tianyin Villa? โ
"No, young master, didn't I just leave the city gate for a long time?"
"You've been with Tianyin Villa for so long? Don't you know that I've hated explanations since I was a kid? โ
"Less~" The man in black didn't give Steward Li a chance to finish speaking.
"Dead?" Zhang Chenyi lowered his head and didn't know what he was pondering.
"Yes, that man in black is extremely quick and ruthless." Ling Xuan recalled Fang Cai's picture. How can people kill people nowadays without blinking?
"The corpse?"
"The man in black took it."
"When did you start to suspect this Steward Li?"
"Junmo. I used to be blind, but my heart is not blind yet, right? โ
"Hehe~, look at what you said, I didn't say that you were blind" Xiao Junmo smiled awkwardly and patted Zhang Chenyi's shoulder.
"From the time my father died, but at what point I wasn't sure. I didn't see many explanations until you appeared that my eyes could see. He can always appear lightly at the critical moment of certain events, which means that he has been hiding from my left and right. Over the years, I have checked the events of the year by the eldest princess's side, but every time I found the signs, it was broken. โ
"Are you suspicious of the eldest princess?"
"No, I didn't know her in the first place, and she had no reason to do something. At most, she is just a pawn of the enemy in Jingzhou."
"Who's that? So I want you to die? โ
"I know this at the moment, so I need to make better use of the eldest princess's power. But I'm sure it's the enemy, and his ultimate desire may not be for me to die simply."
"Chenyi? The reason why you are willing to go to the eldest princess is just to take advantage of her? โ
"Of course not, it's the best way to protect them, isn't it?"
"Yes, is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Stay with me"
"Cut~" Xiao Junmo reluctantly shook his body back and forth, it was best to say a good word.
As a result, Zhang Chenyi suspected him of dangling, his eyes hurt, and he kicked the defenseless Xiao Junmo to the ground. Xiao Junmo took a few deep breaths and played a scoundrel on the ground.
"Hanyu, you say, when is Shuxian's family affair set to be good?" Emperor Gao Xian flipped through the good days picked out by the ministers.
"The eldest princess Shuxian's family affairs are a major matter, and Her Majesty's decision is appropriate."
"Really? So what do you say? What's the use of me keeping someone who is useless to me around? It seems that it's time to find something for the people in King Mu's Mansion. Emperor Gao Xian said casually.
"The minister will look at the end of next month, it will be good," Han Yu picked up the conversation without hurrying.
Emperor Gao Xian frowned coldly, secretly happy in his heart, now he has something to play.
Soon the family affairs of the eldest princess Shuxian reached Mu Bo's ears, in fact, Mu Bo has also thought clearly these days, originally thinking that if she dies in the future, Yue'er has no one to take care of Jingzhou.
But now Yue'er doesn't seem to necessarily have to be Zhang Chenyi. She didn't want to bother some irrelevant people here.
