Chu Lige nodded, only slightly turning his cold eyes to look at her, but his thin lips with a natural and wonderful curvature were pursed tightly, obviously waiting for her next step.

The girl lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, but Chu Lige looked at it and always felt that the smile on the corner of her mouth was chilling.

"There are so many courtiers who have just participated in the palace banquet at this hour, and it is dark night, and it is normal for them to have a clear vision and confuse something."

Chu Lige looked at her thoughtfully, and nodded slightly, "Who do you like?" ”

Many courtiers were attacked, and I don't know who she was talking about.

The girl pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "It's all related to that family, such as our Mufu." ”

As for whether this relationship is on the surface or privately, it is not easy to say. There is a contradiction to have a motive, since it is going to make a big fuss, you can't show too obvious your tail for others to catch.

The eyebrows and eyes are lowered, and a faint coldness flows from the corners of the eyes. Someone doesn't have long eyes and has to provoke her, why can't she return it with "kindness".

The situation is big, and then there will be a good show.

Chu Lige's eyes were slightly condensed, the meaning of appreciation was obvious, he was silent for a moment, nodded and said directly, "Okay." “

She wants to make a big deal out of it, so it's a big deal. Anyway, it won't be him who will clean up the mess when the time comes, and he won't be the one who has a headache.

After Chu Lige got out of the carriage, he immediately summoned Leng Gang and whispered a few words.

After a few moments, dozens of dark shadows shot out from all the dark corners towards some of the carriages.

Soon, several streets not far from the palace were bustling with activity.

It's just that in addition to the shocking sound of the handover of the golden halberd, this excitement is the sound of all kinds of exclamations running.

And the surrounding sky is filled with a strong smell of blood.

This unique bustle soon alarmed the officials of the Admiral of the Nine Gates.

It's just that when these officials arrived at the scene, the fight was nearing the end, and in the chaotic retreat, the masked man in black was very ruthless and quickly cut off a head.

Except, of course, for the Admiral of the Nine Gates, who ruled over this part of the capital; When Emperor Chu heard the news that the courtiers were attacked, he immediately asked the inner guards to go out to help arrest the culprit.

However, since the goal of the assassins is to kill people, they naturally do not wait for anyone to kill them.

When those Ouchi guards whose martial arts were much higher than those of the officials arrived at the scene, they basically didn't even see the shadow of the man in black.

When I came to the streets, I only saw that the scene was a mess and a tragedy.

In the end, it was found that many of the guards were killed and wounded, and many of the ministers were wounded; In addition, there is another person who may have been frightened and injured again, but he died at the scene.

And Mu Tianda's father and son were all slightly injured to varying degrees in order to "protect" Mu Xiaofeng.

In short, none of the courtiers who were attacked that night were intact.

The good news is that while there were casualties in each family, many of the Assassins were left behind by the lives of the guards.

After the officials of the Admiral of the Nine Gates put the bodies of those assassins in one place, they took off their face togues and examined their arms again, when someone suddenly screamed in shock, "It's ......"

Looking around, he immediately swallowed his saliva and swallowed back the words that followed.

When the matter was reported to the imperial case of Emperor Chu, Emperor Chu couldn't help but smash the cup angrily on the spot, "The one who attacked and killed my Southern Chu courtiers on the street turned out to be Hei Fengwei!" ”

"The queen really raised a pair of good sons and daughters for me!"

The prince coveted his mother's beauty, and dared to rape and kill someone in the imperial garden while he was drinking. It was originally given to the eldest princess to protect her safety, but he secretly attacked and killed his ministers in the streets.

Emperor Chu was furious, and he couldn't wait to immediately pass those two unconscious bastards into the palace to whip them to relieve his hatred.

When the murder case occurred in the Imperial Garden, although the queen secretly helped the prince and proved that the rape and murder of the Luo Mei had nothing to do with the prince, Emperor Chu was tired of the prince's frequent disappointing performance recently.

also found another reason to detain people in the prince's mansion for two months, because the eldest princess instructed Hei Fengwei to attack and kill the courtiers in the street, and under the anger, the detention period was extended again.

Of course, no matter how angry Emperor Chu was, he couldn't reveal the identity of those assassins as Black Wind Guard. Otherwise, he would directly execute the eldest princess, and he would not be able to calm the resentment in the hearts of the courtiers.

In addition to smoothing out this mess and making it beautiful, he has to swallow his anger for the time being, as if he didn't know that the eldest princess did this.

If he punishes the eldest princess as soon as this happens, it is estimated that anyone with a head will understand what is going on.

can only be aggrieved and secretly think in his heart, in the future, he will definitely find an opportunity to teach the daughter who pulled his hind legs a lesson.

The real murderer could not be confessed, so Emperor Chu had to find another substitute for the dead ghost to settle the matter.

And when Emperor Chu had a headache, the queen's life naturally couldn't be easy.

The queen is indeed very indulgent to Chu Zhenlie's daughter, but this connivance must also be treated on a case-by-case basis.

When she knew that those assassins turned out to be Black Wind Guard, she was so angry that she almost ran out of the palace and went to the eldest princess's mansion to set fire to it.

But when she calmed down and thought about it carefully, she realized what was wrong.

"No matter how reckless Zhenyeol is, he won't make such a big move at the gate of the palace." How much her daughter hated Mu Xiaofeng in her heart, she knew. If her Zhenlie instructed Heifeng Wei to attack and kill the Mufu family on the street, she believed that the eldest princess did it, but at the same time, she implicated so many courtiers to go in .......

The queen shook her head, and a sneer of affirmation slowly appeared on her lips, "It seems that this thing is Mu Xiaofeng's ghost again." ”

That little girl, who is only twenty-eight years old, has changed to this point on the spot, which really impressed her again.

It's a pity that the more powerful this girl is, the more she has to get rid of it as soon as possible, if she lets this girl develop her own power in the future, she will definitely become a big problem.

In addition to Emperor Chu, the empress also secretly ordered that the news that the eldest princess had sent Black Wind Guard to attack and kill the courtiers must be erased.

It's a pity that there are no impermeable walls in this world, and there are no secrets that can be kept.

Mu Xiaofeng deliberately asked Chu Lige to make such a big move, but it was not just to make Emperor Chu angry or disgusted with the queen.

You must know that in addition to the official who died on the spot, the other courtiers who were injured to varying degrees were actually mostly the forces of the prince's faction.

And the official who hung up on the spot, on the surface, was completely a diehard loyalist of other factions, but in fact he was the most loyal supporter of the prince.

However, those injured officials had more or less unpleasant experiences with the crown prince in private.

The news that the eldest princess secretly sent Hei Fengwei to attack and kill the courtiers on the street quietly spread in the privileged class of the official eunuch under Mu Xiaofeng's intention.

For a time, the news that the prince used the black wind guard in the hands of the eldest princess to secretly eliminate the dissatisfied forces was also rumored to have a nose and eyes.

This directly caused panic in the prince's camp, and even worse, many people who had defected to Cheng had secretly quietly broken away.

And when the prince saw that people's hearts were fluctuating but irretrievable, he really wanted to directly drag Chu Zhenlie's cripple and chop it into meat sauce.

Mu Xiaofeng only did what she had to do, and then stopped paying attention to the progress of this matter. On this day, she took a carriage to the right minister's mansion in person, because the right minister suddenly fell ill some time ago.

It was because of this sudden illness that I didn't participate in the palace banquet.

Stepping into the Right Prime Minister's Mansion again, Mu Xiaofeng obviously felt that the atmosphere here was much more tense than before. Although she turned her eyes and looked around casually, she didn't see how many guards were hidden in the shadows, but she could feel that at least the current defense was more than double that of before.

"Miss Mu, please." The one who came out to greet Mu Xiaofeng in person and led the way for Mu Xiaofeng was the housekeeper of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, thinking that when she was squeezed by Xia Xingshen to be a free cook here, this housekeeper was also familiar with her.

Therefore, when she saw this capable right-hand butler, she was not restrained, and asked casually as she walked, "Is your family feeling better lately?" ”

As for Xia Xingshen's illness, Mu Xiaofeng felt that it was really inappropriate to ask the housekeeper in detail.

In case there is some hidden illness that is inconvenient to tell people, wouldn't it make the housekeeper embarrassed by her reckless question.

The housekeeper glanced at her, his eyes flashed without a trace, and then said, "Thank you girl for your concern, my family has been recuperating for these days, and his body is already better." ”

The answer on his face was smooth, but he was faintly worried in his heart, there were so many people who came to get sick, but Gongzi saw Miss Mu alone.

In the eyes of her son, she should be trustworthy, right?

When Mu Xiaofeng heard this, he only smiled politely, and didn't ask anything more that shouldn't be asked.

She thought that even if Xia Xingshen didn't need to stay on the bed to recuperate, he could be sick for such a long time, and his condition should not be light.

At the very least, she should be in the house. But she didn't expect that the housekeeper took her through the corridor, and finally went around and around to the pavilion in the corner of the Xiangfu Garden.

Mu Xiaofeng saw the indigo figure sitting against the railing from a distance, and unconsciously raised his eyebrows.

Immediately raised his voice slightly and smiled, "It seems that Lord Right is in good spirits." ”

The housekeeper brought the person closer, and after bowing slightly towards Xia Xingshen, he retreated.

Xia Xingshen turned around, saw the girl's eyebrows fluttering with a faint and relaxed teasing, immediately stood up, and said with a smile, "No matter how good my patient's spirit is, it can't compare to Miss Mu." ”

Mu Xiaofeng smiled and nodded without modesty, "This is natural, if you are in better spirits than me during your illness, I think I will probably hope that one day I will have an illness." ”

Sitting down on the stone bench opposite him, Mu Xiaofeng looked at him seriously.

"I see you're in good spirits, but how can you look like a mother who has just given birth?"

"Ahem......" Xia Xingshen raised his eyes slightly to look at the girl who looked very serious, and almost choked to death by his own saliva.

"Miss Mu," the sword eyebrows raised, but Xia Xingshen shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Are you sure you came to visit me, not to make my condition worse?" ”

Compare his dignified seven-foot boy to a mother who has just given birth?

Is that how someone describes a man with a bad complexion?

Mu Xiaofeng smiled, "A slip of the tongue, you are the right minister, you can hold the boat in your belly, you won't care about me, right?" ”

She said so bluntly that Xia Xingshen had to sigh helplessly and said with a wry smile, "If I say that I have something to do with you, don't you plan to visit you in the future?" ”

The girl pursed her lips and smiled silently, looked at him with concern, and then changed her words, "What kind of disease do you have?" Does it matter? ”

Xia Xingshen squinted his eyes, looked at her in a lazy and casual manner, and then pulled the collar to the sides with his slender ten fingers, "It doesn't matter, you can see it with your own eyes." ”

Seeing his movements, Mu Xiaofeng's eyes widened.

Of course, she was definitely surprised not because Xia Xingshen's sudden action looked rogue, but because as he pointed his thin collar to the sides, she clearly saw the thick bandage wrapped around his chest.

She immediately withdrew her gaze without avoiding suspicion, in fact, Xia Xingshen's degree of pulling out the collar was very accurate, she looked up, she could only see the thick snow-white bandage, as for the skin next to her, she didn't see an inch.

His heart sank, his eyes immediately changed, and he asked seriously, "Are you seriously injured?" ”

Xia Xingshen rolled his extremely beautiful and charming eyes, still with a slight smile on his lips, looked at her lazily and casually, and said lightly, "It's okay, I can't die." ”

Mu Xiaofeng's heart skipped a beat when he saw it, and he suddenly remembered the secret he wanted to reveal to her at Yipinxiang once.

She subconsciously tilted her head, and said half-truthfully, "It's good if you can't die, it proves that Lord Youxiang is definitely a scourge of great fortune." ”

Xia Xingshen looked at her helplessly, and said with a wry smile, "You can't have a good word in your mouth?" Remember, I am a patient, a patient who should not be stimulated. ”

If he hadn't gotten used to arguing with her, he would have almost wondered if she had come to visit her or if she had come to anger him.

The girl raised her head, blinked, and looked at him very innocently, "The scourge will last for a thousand years, I wish you a long life, isn't it a good word?" ”

Xia Xingshen hooked his lips, and then clasped his hands into fists and shook at her, "Xia, thank you for your auspicious words." ”

The tone and actions were very sincere, and it was the smile on the corner of his mouth that made Mu Xiaofeng feel that no matter how he looked at it, he was like a cunning fox pretending to be pure and kind.

Xia Xingshen saw that she was silent, but looked at him with a vague gaze, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

This girl's will is really not ordinarily firm, seeing that he has been injured like this, she can also close her mouth like a clam shell, and she is not curious about his life experience.

He Xia Xingshen couldn't count the fingers of a slap that he admired in his life, but he didn't expect that the delicate and harmless girl in front of him was also one of them.

"All right," the girl looked at him casually, but suddenly put a bottle on the stone table, "Now don't doubt my intentions, I didn't come to visit you empty-handed." ”

Xia Xingshen's smile faded, and he only glanced at the bottle containing the dark red liquid, and then stared at her face with an indifferent smile that could not see emotions. After watching it for a long time, he said slowly, "Are you really not curious about my affairs at all?" ”
