Chapter 299: Whose Mourning Is Weeping?
Chu Lige's posture was still tall and straight, not afraid of the extremely oppressive gaze he cast, and said lightly, "Secondly, of course, we have to thoroughly investigate the identities of these murderers, and what is the motive behind the destruction of the Mu Mansion." β
He was silent, and then said, "These things only need to be ordered by His Majesty, and someone will do it." However, there is still one thing that the minister thinks is the top priority. β
Emperor Chu's eyebrows jumped, and a certain thought flashed in his heart, but he looked at him meaninglessly, "What's the matter?" β
"Presumably, Your Majesty already knows very well that Mu Shangshu's mansion was almost completely destroyed in the fire last night." Chu Lige's cold eyes looked at Emperor Chu coldly, not feeling that the emperor on the Golden Dragon Throne had anything to fear him.
The thin lips with a perfect arc opened slightly, and the cold voice sounded in the Jinluan Hall again, "The people in Mufu who escaped by luck last night don't even have a place to settle down now. β
Emperor Chu raised his eyebrows, and his coercive gaze was heavy on his graceful face, "However, King Li thinks that I should be responsible for the accommodation of Mu Aiqing's family?" β
His tone was flat, and his eyebrows even showed a little pleasantness, but the tone of this rhetorical question fell on the ears of the courtiers, and everyone felt that their hearts were unusually frightened.
This is a precursor to Emperor Chu's anger!
Leaving His Royal Highness, even if you want to maintain the Mu Mansion, you must have a degree!
However, Chu Lige didn't seem to feel the implicit anger of Emperor Chu, and continued to take care of himself as if he was fine, "Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and the world knows it. β
His eyebrows moved slightly, his cold eyes approached the Ninety-Five Venerable on the Golden Dragon Throne, and he said slowly, "Your Majesty, Mu Shangshu's family is also your people." β
Chu Lige finished speaking lightly, but finally shut up as countless people wished. But Emperor Chu was almost so angry with him that he even crooked his nose.
This kid, if he doesn't settle down for Mu Tianda, even this holy name will be tarnished, right?
It's really good!
Chu Lige was silent for a moment, feeling that he had given enough time for Emperor Chu to ease his mind, and slightly opened his thin lips, and said lightly, "The minister thinks that the former Ye Guogong Mansion is quite good, and that mansion is idle and idle, what does Your Majesty think?" β
Dare to even have a lot of house secretly for the girl in Mufu!
Emperor Chu laughed angrily, sneered a few times, and then said, "What else do you want from the king, I said it together." β
Chu Lige's eyes lit up, no matter how angry the Ninety-Five Venerable above was at the moment, he only felt that this sentence was the most pleasing and beautiful thing he had ever heard today.
After thinking about it for a while, he said unhurriedly, "Although that mansion is barely suitable for Mu Shangshu's family to live in, it has been idle for too long, and it needs to be repaired before moving in." β
Emperor Chu only sneered and squinted at him, listening without saying a word, to see what other shameless demands this kid could make.
"As for the cost of repairs, the minister thinks it is most reasonable for the adults in charge of the security of the capital to share it together, what does Your Majesty think?"
Emperor Chu was stunned in his heart, looked at the officials below quietly, and said a faint "um" noncommittally.
Chu Lige said again, "Before the renovation of the former Guogong Mansion is completed, the temporary residence of Mu Shangshu's family must also be settled, and the minister knows that there is an inn with a decent environment not far from the Guogong Mansion, why don't you ask Your Majesty to temporarily charter that inn for Mu Shangshu's family to live in?" β
Emperor Chu raised his eyebrows, and the stunned look in his eyes was undisguised.
But several officials in charge of the defense of the capital looked at each other, and they all had a bad premonition in their hearts.
One by one, they looked at Chu Lige with pleading eyes, His Royal Highness Liwang, please raise your noble hand and leave a way to live for the lower officials.
Chu Lige lowered his eyes slightly, a cold snort fell in his heart, and he resolutely ignored the pleading eyes of those officials, and continued, "As for all the daily expenses of Mu Shangshu's family temporarily living in the inn, the minister feels that it should be borne by several adults who are responsible for the defense of the capital. β
The men immediately looked at each other silently with mournful faces, and knew that he was about to say this.
Leaving His Royal Highness, it is indeed worthy of "ghosts and sorrows", only caring about their own happiness and not knowing the pain of others.
Chu Lige glanced at them from the corner of his eyes, sneering in his heart, pain? But let you give a few taels of silver first, and the real pain for you is still to come.
Mu Tianda stood in the middle of the main hall, completely open his mouth and speechless in shock.
In this extreme shock, his mind was blank, and he couldn't seem to understand why His Royal Highness Liwang suddenly favored them so much. Every word and sentence can be used to maintain the meaning of Mufu.
Emperor Chu lowered his eyes, swept down lightly, and after taking in everyone's panicked or gloating expressions, he said slowly, "Just according to the invitation of the king." β
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Chu Lige went straight to Fenglin Ju to inform Mu Xiaofeng of all the arrangements.
"Actually, Mu Mansion can still live if you take care of it," Mu Xiaofeng was inexplicably moved, and the warmth of Rong Rong was like a spring breeze in March, silently blowing through her heart, which would also be panicked. However, he couldn't laugh or cry at the arrangement of his big package, "The guest house is a lot of inconvenience after all." β
Moreover, there are many insecurity factors.
Chu Lige looked at her and only said lightly, "Everything has me." β
Mu Xiaofeng looked at his cold but persistent face, and could only sigh speechlessly, this overlord's temper flared up again.
Chu Lige saw that she didn't object, so he said again, "What happened last night, can you have eyebrows?" β
The eyebrows he was referring to were naturally not clues.
In just a few hours, she arranged for a lot of matters in Mufu, and personally went to Dali Temple to complain, and there was absolutely no time to investigate.
What he wanted to ask was her guess.
According to her intelligence and keenness, even if she has no clue about last night's attack, after combing and considering it for half a day, I believe she has the bottom in her heart.
The girl's eyes were cold, and the expression on her face was still gentle, but there was a frightening smell of slaughter between her eyebrows.
"How many people hate me so much?"
How many people can act so crazy and recklessly?
Even if there were no clues in her hands and no clue about the matter, she knew that someone must have done what happened last night.
Just when the two were discussing the murder, they saw Qingruo walking towards the pavilion with a strange face.
Qing Ruo first timidly showed shallow fear, glanced at the man in brocade next to the girl, hesitated not far from the pavilion but did not dare to come closer.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaofeng couldn't help but secretly shake her head in her heart, this girl, why can't she change her fear of Chu Lige after so long?
She didn't look at Overlord Chu but she was not so scary, right?
Mu Xiaofeng himself didn't think that Chu Lige would only intentionally restrain his indifferent and cold momentum when facing her.
It was only when facing her that his indifferent and expressionless face would have a color similar to mild or warm.
The rest of the people, in the eyes of His Royal Highness Liwang, are all listed as idle people who don't need to be cared about.
If Qing Ruo was not afraid of his natural noble and indifferent momentum, it would be strange.
He glanced at Chu Lige several times with a slight squint, and then suppressed the doubts in his heart, looked at Qing Ruo, and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"Miss," Qing Ruo looked at His Royal Highness the King who was like an iceberg, and quietly shrank beside Mu Xiaofeng before he quickly said, "Young Master Qiu is crying outside the mansion. β
Mu Xiaofeng looked at her strangely, "Young Master Qiu? Which Young Master Qiu? β
In her cognition, the person who can mourn and cry outside the gate of the mansion must be someone who has had a fateful friendship with the people in the house. But in her memory, there is no such person as the surname Qiu.
Chu Lige glanced at Qing Ruo lightly, Qing Ruo was touched by his eyes that seemed to emerge from the cold pool, and he shivered unconsciously, and his voice trembled with more and more fear, "Miss, it is Young Master Qiu Tianshu of the Marquis of Changyi's Mansion." β
Mu Xiaofeng patted his head and let out a long "oh", but then he was confused, "He? What is he crying about outside? β
Could it be that the self-proclaimed high-minded guy is still secretly in love with which girl in her house? And unfortunately, that Yahuan died in the killing last night?
Chu Lige glanced at her, and couldn't help but think of a word called ridiculousness in his heart.
This will not hide her thoughts, all of them are revealed on a pretty face.
Secretly shook her head, this woman, what is going on in her head!
Chu Lige wanted her to misunderstand her like this, but Qingruo didn't know the mind of the Chu Overlord, so he said directly and anxiously, "Miss, as soon as he heard that many people died in the mansion last night, he misunderstood that you had suffered misfortune last night, and he cried with tears in his eyes directly outside the mansion. β
After a long time, her ex-fiancΓ© who dared to love her thought she was dead, so he cried at the door.
It seems that Qiu Tianshu is not the most cool and ruthless one.
But after thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong, wasn't this a disguised curse to her death?
The girl's face sank, her eyebrows showed a little unhappy, and she said, "Didn't you tell him that Miss Ben was still standing here alive?" β
Since the day she divorced him, she has nothing to do with Qiu Fu, and I really can't understand what kind of crazy thing he Qiu Tianshu suddenly smoked to cry here.
Qingruo suddenly became anxious, and opened his mouth to argue urgently, "The slave told him personally, but he couldn't listen to it, and he was still wiping his tears sadly." β
Like a dead sweetheart, Qing Ruo quietly glanced at the brocade-clothed man next to the girl with a fragrant face, but he didn't dare to say it.
Mu Xiaofeng's brows furrowed, he was in no good mood at the moment, he glanced at Qingruo, and said angrily, "He won't be full of food and hold on, what is there to show affection and righteousness here while this matter is here?" β
Qingruo was taken aback by her heavy words, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, the slave is really sad to see him." β
"It's really weird." Mu Xiaofeng walked towards the gate as he spoke, intending to tell Qiu Tianshu with a living proof in person, "When did he care so much about our Mu Mansion?" β
Chu Lige's eyes changed slightly, and in her muttering, she suddenly remembered a very important past
