Chapter 449: Key Clues

Qingruo served her tea, and felt distressed that Hongying had been running around for a long time and poured a cup, "Miss, the slave maid has just come back from the front yard, and there is no news from the master yet." ”

No news!

Mu Xiaofeng's heart sank.

was suddenly taken into the prison in the palace, and this alone knew that my brother's crime would not be a trivial matter.

But according to his brother's cautious character, how could he be so confused that he would commit any major incidents?

"Miss, the young grandmother is here."

Mu Xiaofeng stared in contemplation, followed Qingruo's report, and turned his eyes to look at the door. When he caught a glimpse of Ji Yuan's cold and familiar appearance, his heart suddenly jumped uneasily.

I suddenly remembered an old thing.

But when the thought turned, she immediately extinguished that thought.

Even if Emperor Chu knew about the existence of her sister-in-law, it had nothing to do with her brother. At the beginning, it was obviously the queen's arrangement, if Emperor Chu was not an old fool, he would never have done such a foolish thing.

"Xiaoxiao, is there any news of your brother?" Ji Yuan's face was haggard, and the dark blue was obvious now, and it was obvious that he must have been tossing and turning last night.

Mu Xiaofeng met her worried eyes, and could only shake his head apologetically. I wanted to persuade her not to worry, but when I opened my mouth, I realized that I couldn't persuade her.

But he is afraid that people will be idle, Ji Yuan will be cranky. After pondering for a while, he had to say, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, my brother will be fine." ”

"I still have something to do today, so I won't visit my mother for the time being, and my sister-in-law Lao will speak well for me in front of my mother."

Ji Yuan was silent, knowing that she was busy with herself, and she was also thinking about herself.

It won't help her to stay here, so it's better to serve her mother-in-law wholeheartedly, so that her sister-in-law can rest assured.

"Then I'll go to Yuexinju, if your eldest brother has any news, remember to inform me as soon as possible."

Mu Xiaofeng nodded and looked at her gratefully, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will." ”

Ji Yuan obviously didn't understand the inextricable interests of the various families in the capital, and he was not interested in the various complicated fighting methods in the capital. But she has a prominent strength, that is, she is self-aware. It is best for everyone to always know where you are standing and know what you should do more clearly.

What Mu Xiaofeng admires most about her is this indifferent tranquility.

Don't panic when you encounter problems, give full play to your advantages and do what you can, which is not something that everyone can do.

Ji Yuan looked at her, and saw that her expression was also tired, so she said with a faint concern, "Xiaoxiao, you should also take care of yourself, don't just take care of your eldest brother, but exhaust yourself." ”

The girl blinked her eyes and smiled slowly, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, whoever I lose, I won't treat myself badly." ”

"Then I'll go see my mother," Ji Yuan was also neat, bowed slightly at her, and left.

After sending Ji Yuan away, Mu Xiaofeng had just sat down, and before he could even take a sip of the hot tea in his hand, he heard that Hongying came to say, "Miss, I'm leaving His Royal Highness." ”

Her eyes lit up immediately, and even Mu Xiaofeng herself didn't notice that when she heard Chu Lige coming, she turned slightly happy in her heart.

"Invite someone in."

After finishing speaking, she was suddenly stunned.

Her tone was tinged with joy. Could it be that she was already looking forward to seeing him?

Just when Mu Xiaofeng was stunned, the rippling figure that seemed to be able to take away the magnificent scenery of heaven and earth in an instant when she stood quietly at the door, was already walking straight and elegantly towards her.

"You're here." The girl tilted her head slightly and smiled, but did not stand up.

Red Shadow looked at his young lady in surprise and astonishment, and then quietly glanced at the handsome face of His Royal Highness Li, and the surprise in his eyes was quickly replaced by thoughtfulness.

Mu Xiaofeng didn't be polite to him, because she had unconsciously forgotten to classify him as a guest. After smiling, she gave way to the stool next to her, "Sit." ”

Chu Lige glanced at her lightly, and sat down obediently without saying a word. However, in the cold and indifferent eyes, when looking at her, there was a gentle smile that others couldn't see.

He liked the feeling, liked, the feeling that she didn't treat him as an outsider.

After Mu Xiaofeng greeted him, he bowed his head and poured a cup of tea. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of him sitting next to him, and then pushed the teacup in front of him, "Try it, this is a new tea on the market this year." ”

So automatically and consciously talkative?

Chu Lige quietly picked up the cup, lowered his eyes, but stared at her with a faint "flattered".

Do you want him to believe that she will be courteous for nothing?

He felt that it would be easier for her to change her boldness.

"Zhang Guang, Sleeve Arrow, Shocked," he took a sip of tea, his eyes swept away, and he complied with her request. It's just that every word that came out of his thin lips made Mu Xiaofeng's heart flutter, "Bring weapons into the palace and assassinate!" ”

After the fright, Mu Xiaofeng's pretty face seemed to be condensed with a layer of frost, cold and heavy.

It's a sign of being angry to the extreme, but not venting, but forcing yourself to stay calm.

She knew very well that this was a false accusation.

But who planted this stolen goods?

Who brought the deadly Hidden Arrow into the palace through layers of inspections?

Mu Xiaofeng's face was calm, and his eyes were puzzled, "Where did you get the news?" ”

Didn't the news be blocked all the time before, and no one could find any traces? Why did it only take one night and even find out the details?

Where did you get the news?

Chu Lige lowered his eyes quietly, as if he was staring at the tea leaves floating in the cup. In fact, the heart is gloomy, and there is nothing to say.

Can he tell her that in fact, the reason why the man in the palace is blocking the news is just to see his reaction?

If he is right, the original intention of the man to block the news is to force him to mess with himself, and then enter the palace to compromise some things.

It's just that the man who is high up is not one who can control everything with one hand covering the sky.

"This case is going to be heard."

After being silent for a long time, Chu Lige lightly gave a reason. But Mu Xiaofeng stared at him, and really felt that this answer was too far-fetched.

However, staring at him for a long time, his iceberg face that has not melted for years is not only indifferent but indifferent. From beginning to end, it was calm and calm.

Well, what he didn't want to say, she never had been able to force him to speak.

However, at this time, Mu Xiaofeng didn't want to put his mind on this.

Since it is to be tried, even if it is not made public, it is impossible for the news to continue to be tightly sealed, and this reason is barely reasonable.

After thinking about it, the girl looked at him with burning eyes, "I want to see my brother." ”

This requirement, of course, is difficult for strong people.

Because Emperor Chu issued a secret order to try the case in secret, no one was forbidden to visit.

If the crime was just shocking, Mu Xiaofeng was not worried. But you can bring weapons into the palace without permission, and you want to assassinate the master inside, this crime is really fatal.

Chu Lige glanced at her, his expression was still cold and indifferent, "I have passed the word." ”

Mu Shaoxuan will never confess to any trumped-up charges.

The implication is that I know what you want to say, and I have already told you in advance, so the matter of secretly going to the prison to meet is avoided or not.

The girl frowned unconvinced, "How do you know what I want to say to my brother?" You're not a roundworm in my belly! ”

Chu Lige narrowed his eyes, and wisps of dangerous light flew in his cold eyes.

This woman is so bold that she dares to question him in person. This woman has done this kind of thing countless times before.

He was startled, and he slowly got used to it.

But what did she just mutter?

"You want to try?"

It was still the same straight and indifferent voice as always, but Mu Xiaofeng shuddered inexplicably, and from his cold and clear voice, he actually heard a strange meaning called annoyance and wanted to practice on her.

She leaned back vigilantly, squinted her eyes, like a hedgehog with long thorns all over her body, and suddenly raised her sharp thorns and stared at him defensively, "What to try?" ”

Chu Lige glanced at her with a smile, his thin lips with a wonderful arc opened slightly, and he heard him say lightly, "Become a roundworm!" ”

Although his voice was cold and his volume was not high, Mu Xiaofeng did not dare to question the authenticity of his words because of this.

She endured the nausea and leaned back again, her eyes rolled, and then she changed the topic very familiarly, "Cough, His Royal Highness is omnipotent, and the courtiers admire it." ”

Chu Lige raised the brocade sleeves embroidered with cloud patterns, and a beautiful arc slowly crossed in front of her eyes.

The girl was stunned, staring at the gorgeous sleeves with a puzzled expression, "What does this mean?" ”

Chu Lige shook his head, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and then threw a disgusted look at her.

The girl was stimulated by that look, and the fighting spirit was aroused at the moment.

During this time, Chu Bawang was too easy to speak, and she almost forgot about this person's inferior nature.

Isn't it just a guessing puzzle?

At most, she wasted half a day's rice, and she just guessed.

However, Mu Xiaofeng's estimation was too conservative, she calmed down and thought about it, and she understood what His Highness Bingshan's sleeves meant.

Guessing the riddle, the girl glanced at him a little helplessly and annoyed.

This guy has a basket of benefits, but this problem is also too many to count.

"Okay, don't mention the irrelevant things," Mu Xiaofeng's eyes froze, "Then what did my brother say?" Well, what about the clues about that Hidden Arrow? ”

Chu Lige turned the cup, and his long eyelashes drooped slightly with a hint of appreciation.

This woman, in addition to being particularly fat, has a good brain, but she immediately thought of the key.

It's not that Mu Xiaofeng relies on him, but that he knows that when he appears in front of her at this moment, he must have checked all the places that should be checked.

And if there are clues, it is obvious that he has mastered them first.

Since there is a ready-made one in front of her, why should she waste manpower and material resources to find out by herself.

The prison is heavily guarded, and even if she has the heart to inquire about the news, she is afraid that she will not be able to find out in a moment.

Thinking about it, Mu Xiaofeng couldn't help but sigh sullenly.

At the end of the day, she still depends on him!

frowned unconsciously, reliving a life, she always wanted to be strong**. In the past, she thought she was doing a good job, but since then, she has unconsciously regarded him as a trustworthy person in her heart.

With a shake of his head, Mu Xiaofeng decided to put this annoying question aside for the time being.

His eyebrows sank, and he turned to business again, "By the way, have you seen the bow and the hidden arrow with your own eyes?" ”
