Chapter 425: Two Men Fight
In the afternoon of the same day.
The emperor's decree soon came down, Mrs. Su, no, Song Xinran, who has now been retired by General Su, according to the laws of the Celestial Empire, must parade around the imperial capital before embarking on the journey to the frontier.
At that time, the people of the Celestial Empire were born in dire straits, and it was the current emperor and General Mu who pacified the civil strife, which allowed the people to live a peaceful life, and the people of the Celestial Empire have always admired General Mu as a god.
At the time of General Mu's funeral, all the people in the city came to see him off, and the crying shook the sky, and now that the real murderer was found, the people were naturally excited and angry, and they had to send troops to maintain such a scene.
Song Xinran is still wearing the clothes with a white background, although it has been contaminated with blood so that she can't see the color, her face is bruised and swollen and she can't see her original appearance, her face has been covered with blood, and she has hair like a chicken nest, like a subdued ghost, tied to the prison car.
Upstairs in Mengxian on Happiness Street.
Mo Yichen and Mu Xiyue sisters sat by the window of the private room on the second floor and drank tea, the tea in their hands drifted out of the white mist, calm and indifferent, which seemed to be very incommensurate with the noisy and troublesome outside.
Suddenly, an exclamation came from the street outside, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"It's coming!"
Before the voice landed, everyone's eyes instantly looked in the same direction.
Song Xinran's prisoner car drove over slowly, and everyone prepared the eggs and rotten vegetable leaves in their hands, and even stones smashed towards Song Xinran like hail and heavy rain, without mercy!
People were excited, and they couldn't wait to go up and beat her, but they were forced by the army outside surrounded by a human wall, and now they could only throw what they could throw at Song Xinran to vent their anger, and the earth-shattering scolding sounded, and there were even crying.
It's just that this cry is not because of Song Xinran, but because of the dead General Mu's family.
Song Xinran, who couldn't tell his face clearly, passed by this way, in addition to the eggs flowing on his body, the rotten vegetable leaves and egg shells still hanging on his body, and some filth that couldn't be said to be anything, which could no longer be clearly expressed in embarrassment.
Looking at the sound downstairs, Mu Xiyue retracted her gaze and closed her eyes slightly, she couldn't see the expression on her face, but she could see that her eyes were moving.
Mu Xiyan seemed to be a little scared of the scene outside, and her face couldn't help but feel a little nervous, so she simply stopped looking at it, and the look on her face was still not very good-looking.
Compared with the change in the expressions of the two of them, Mo Yichen is much calmer, Mu Xiyan has always grown up beside Song Xinran, and she seems to have been hurt in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and it is understandable to feel uncomfortable when she sees such a scene.
"Don't worry, you still have your sister!"
Mo Yichen's face was calm, his eyes looked at Mu Xiyan and naturally diluted the coldness before, seeing her suddenly sigh and look at herself, she added: "Of course, there is also my brother-in-law, the previous things have passed in the past, don't think about it anymore." β
While speaking, Mo Yichen filled the cups of tea in the two of them, this action was very natural, and his speech was also very natural, as if he was gossiping, but it made Mu Xiyan's face change.
"I ......"
The corners of Mu Xiyan's lips trembled, and when she heard Mo Yichen's words, her eyes suddenly turned red.
Since she and Mu Xiyue met, Mu Xiyan was more worried than feeling this sister's distress for herself, after all, she had done so many things to die before, especially Mo Yijian, and she didn't dare to talk to him.
Now listening to his comfort, my heart warms, and my cheeks instantly feel a sourness, and tears are about to fall.
"Don't worry, I won't leave you."
Mu Xiyue raised her head and looked at Mu Xiyan excitedly, stretched out her hand to hold her, her voice was clear, and her eyes were a little firm: "The past is over, from today onwards, we will start our new life!" β
With an indescribable excitement on her face, Mu Xiyan looked at Mu Xiyue and Mo Yichen, her tears could no longer be suppressed, and she was about to speak, but she heard a clear male voice from the door.
"Yes, you're about to start a new life!"
The prince was dressed in a white python robe, and as he spoke, he walked around everyone, and his face was still as gentle as jade, which made people unable to understand his thoughts.
"Give!"
As soon as he walked to the windowsill, the prince handed the things he was holding in his hand to Mu Xiyue, and his voice was a little brisk: "This is the holy decree of my father just now." β
"Yes...... What the? β
This matter has surfaced, and the emperor's holy decree will definitely continue to be passed on to the two of them, various corrections related to identity, and some rewards, and some big and small things, Concubine Duan has said a lot before, and now that the prince has taken it, Mu Xiyue really can't guess what it is about.
The prince handed the holy decree to Mu Xiyue, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face: "The thing you are most concerned about, the renovation of Mu Mansion, is temporarily handed over to the palace!" β
Mu Xiyue and Mu Xiyan's faces suddenly showed a touch of joy, but Mo Yichen was not so happy, the prince was in charge of this matter, didn't he have to contact Mu Xiyue often? This does not bode well.
"There's no need to thank him, that's what he's supposed to do."
Mo Yichen took care of the cup in his hand and filled it with tea, took a shallow sip, glanced at the prince, and turned to Sister Mu Xiyue, there seemed to be a bit of warning in his voice,
Mu Xiyue's face was stunned, and she raised her head just to meet the prince's smiling eyes, and the excitement that had just risen in her heart couldn't help but freeze, and her face couldn't help but sink.
Looking at Mu Xiyue's very cooperative expression, a touch of pride flashed in Mo Yichen's eyes, and the cup was close to his lips and took another sip.
"For you heartless people, this palace doesn't expect you to be grateful, but I really didn't expect that you, a woman, could find out so deeply."
The prince was talking about the fourth aunt, who would have thought that Mu Xiyue would follow Song Xinran's matter to find out the fourth aunt's old bottom?
Listening to the prince's words, Mu Xiyue couldn't help but slightly hook the corners of her lips: "All abnormal things and people must have reasons that she doesn't know, not to mention that the fourth aunt is inextricably linked to this matter." β
The fourth aunt has been in the General's Mansion for so many years, and she has never taken the initiative to please General Su, and for so many years, whenever the fourth aunt is pregnant, she will always slip for no reason, Song Xinran In order to let the fourth aunt have a child to consolidate her position, she also asked Dr. Hu to prescribe medicine alone, but she still didn't keep it.
In addition, when he learned about Li Tang from Huan Bi later, he realized the reason, and followed this vine to find this crucial clue.
"You are really not an ordinary woman, this palace has to admit that I have looked away before."
The prince's deep eyes stared at Mu Xiyue's face, and an incomprehensible deep meaning flashed in his eyes.
Listening to the prince's words, Mo Yichen's face moved slightly, and when he saw the cup in his hand on the table, he reached out and pulled Mu Xiyue's hand, as if showing off, with a yin and yang strange aura in his voice.
"That's nature, my girl has never been an ordinary person!"
Mo Yichen admired the change in the expression on the prince's face, and the smugness on his face became more and more intense, but he couldn't help but darken his face when he didn't see Mu Xiyue.
How did this person suddenly become so naΓ―ve!
Mu Xiyan watched from the side, and couldn't help snickering, but she didn't want to attract the prince's attention.
"Naturally, he is not an ordinary person, he is like a tigress when he is fierce, and this palace still likes a well-behaved rabbit like Yan'er."
The prince's words made everyone stunned, especially Mu Xiyue, who instantly showed a trace of nervousness on her face.
"The prince is the order of the heavenly dragon, and our little white rabbit Yan'er can't stand your powerful aura."
Mu Xiyue said, stretched out her hand to pull Mu Xiyan behind her, poured a cup of tea and handed it to the prince, which did a great job of blocking his gaze at Mu Xiyan.
The prince was stunned for a moment, looking at the tea handed over in front of him, his face stiffened, although his face was dark, he had to climb down the steps given by Mu Xiyue.
"But speaking of which, we really want to thank the prince, if it weren't for the prince's appearance, Master Xing would not have come forward to help us investigate Li Tang's body, our sisters, thank the prince here."
Mu Xiyue's voice was not loud, but the words clearly reached the prince's ears.
The prince's face was darkened just now, because of Mu Xiyue's two soft words, he softened a little, looked at the sincerity in Mu Xiyue's eyes, and reached out to take the cup of tea.
However, in the face of the prince, Mo Yichen was always so unreasonable, watching the prince drink the tea in one sip, sneered disdainfully, and stretched out his hand to pull Mu Xiyue back to his side.
"These are what he should do, what he owes us, thank him for what to do!"
While speaking, Mo Yichen poured another cup of tea and sent it to Mu Xiyue, that gentle and spoiled, so that the prince looked at his toothache!
The prince's face stiffened, looking at Mo Yichen's angry appearance, his teeth began to gurgle again, and after thinking about it, the gloom on his face spread out again, bringing out a relieved smile.
"When you say that, you're telling the truth! General Mu saved the life of the palace at a critical moment back then, and it is good that he can do something now, but you can't go back to the general's mansion now, do you have any plans in the future? There is also a house in the east of the city, and you can live there if you move there, so you might as well live there before the Mu Mansion is repaired! β
His face changed to a solemn touch, and the prince looked at Mu Xiyue and Mu Xiyan, this time, there was no banter just now.
As soon as the prince's words fell, Mo Yichen almost squirted out a sip of tea, and there was a sense of crisis between his deep eyes, and before Mu Xiyue could speak, he hurriedly interjected.
"The concubine has already arranged the courtyard and let them live in the Pingyang Palace first, so the prince doesn't have to worry about this matter."
The prince looked at Mo Yichen sideways, his face sank, and for a moment he seemed to think of something, the corners of his lips were hooked, and his face brought out a touch of meaning.
"Xiyue is your wife who has not passed the marriage, and it is reasonable to live in Pingyang Palace, but unfortunately Yan didn't point it out to you, you can't be so greedy!"
As he spoke, a sneer curled up on the corner of the prince's lips, and he put the cup in his hand on the table, looking at Mu Xiyue, as if waiting for her reply.
Mu Xiyan didn't speak on the side, and suddenly heard the prince's words, her face turned red, she hurriedly lowered her head, rubbed the silk handkerchief with both hands, and suddenly became nervous.
