At night, the streets are empty during the day, and the doors of every house in Bianjing City are locked, and there is silence in all directions, except for a few occasional sounds of the bride of a husband in the streets and alleys.

At the end of the Beiguan Hutong is the mansion of the Marquis of Qi'an, at this moment, three or five men dressed in night clothes and masked with cloth towels vigorously crossed the high wall and went straight to the inner house.

The lights in the east courtyard were not extinguished, Jing Shengwu was sitting under the candle with a scroll, and suddenly heard a knock on the door, immediately put down the book in his hand, and glanced at Xue Yue, who was doing needlework to the side, Xue Yue quietly walked to the door when she saw this, and asked in a low voice: "Who is outside the door?" ”

After a while, a man replied in a low voice outside the door: "Yuan Shizi's secret guards." ”

Xue Yue no longer hesitated when she heard this, and hurriedly removed the door bolt and gave way sideways.

I saw three or five men in black walking into the house in a regular manner, and when I saw Jing Shengwu sitting on the couch, they all knelt down on one knee and made a big salute neatly, and the first person said respectfully: "My subordinates meet the third lady." ”

The sudden change made Jing Shengwu stunned, after returning home from Lingtai Temple in distress, Jing Zhengming secretly transferred a secret guard to Jing Shengwu, she naturally knew the meaning of this etiquette, and the secret guards of each province only knelt to their masters, and she and the secret guards of the Sea King's Mansion were eight poles that could not be beaten, and they really couldn't bear this worship.

"You don't have to do such a great deal to me." Jing Shengwu frowned and said slowly.

"The prince commanded, seeing the third lady is like seeing the son." The man responded.

Hearing this, Jing Shengwu pursed his thin lips lightly and said, "It is not yet the time I agreed with your son, and the secret guards of the Hou Mansion have not yet set off, why did you come here first?" ”

The man bowed his head, his tone was a little more solemn, and he responded: "The prince instructed me to come and inform the third lady that Miss Mu's body is missing." ”

"How many people know about Mu Wanqing's body being transported back to Bianjing?"

"Got rid of his subordinates, only the prince and the third lady, the prince deliberately explained that his subordinates should act secretly, the prince was still kept in the dark, and the others didn't know the inside story."

Jing Sheng Wudai frowned, the Sea King Mansion can be said to be a big giant in the territory of Great Chu, and the guards are not necessarily inferior to the palace Da Nei, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is impregnable, Mu Wanqing's corpse can be quietly lost in the Sea King Mansion.

"Do you have eyebrows?" Jing Shengwu asked in a deep voice.

"Nope." A little shame flashed in the man's eyes: "That person didn't hurt anyone, he just knocked out a few guards, and he didn't show his kung fu skills, and his subordinates couldn't find out." ”

At this moment, Jing Shengwu's heart was also full of suspicions, and he pondered for a long time before he said: "Go back and tell your family lineage, and say that I already know about this matter." ”

As the words fell, the few people kneeling in the room did not make the slightest movement, and seemed to be pestled in place like five pieces of wood.

Jing Shengwu was about to speak, so he listened to the head of the head and said, "The prince ordered me to wait and wait to protect the safety of the third lady in the Qi'an Hou Mansion." ”

Hearing this, Jing Shengwu suddenly realized that although the Hou Mansion of Qi An had secret guards guarding secretly, it was far from the Sea King's Mansion compared to it, even so, that person could quietly transport Mu Wanqing's corpse, if he turned to attack himself, he was afraid that the Hou Mansion of Qi An would really not be able to protect her.

Thinking like this, Jing Shengwu said slowly: "I have too many people here to accommodate you, if you want to stay, find a place to stay." ”

"Yes." After the words fell, a group of people followed Xue Yue out of the door.

There was silence in the room, and if you listened carefully, you could hear the wick of the candle flame crackling, Jing Shengwu lowered his eyes and pondered, and finally had no sleep.

Early the next morning, Jing Shengwu ate morning tea as usual and pretended to sleep in the house, but when he heard a "poof", Xueyue fell unsteadily on the bluestone slab.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? Jing Shengwu frowned, Xueyue has always been steady, and it is rare to have such a panicked appearance.

Xue Yue didn't care about dusting off her body, she endured the sharp pain in her arm and stood up, and said anxiously: "Early this morning, the slave maid went to the embroidery village outside to get embroidery samples, and I heard that all the people coming and going on the street were talking about Miss Yan of General Mu's Mansion, dead!" ”

Jing Shengwu's heart sank when he heard this, and he said coldly: "Where did the news come from?" ”

Xue Yue shook her head: "The slave and maid ask when they meet people, and no one can say a thing or two, just that Miss Mu is dead." ”

"If there's anything else you can say, just say it." Jing Shengwu frowned and said, Mu Wanqing's death alone is not enough to make Xue Yue so panicked, there must be something else.

Xue Yue cautiously glanced at Jing Shengwu, who had a cold face, and whispered: "Now there are rumors in the entire Erbian Capital City, late last night, Rong Shizi ...... Rong Shizi took Miss Mu's corpse into the palace to face the saint, and later the emperor summoned General Mu into the palace overnight. ”

Hearing this, Jing Shengwu didn't say a word.

Xue Yue was anxious, and couldn't help but say out loud: "Miss, the one who stole Miss Mu's body from the Sea King's Mansion yesterday was Rong Shizi, he ...... Didn't he hurt Miss by doing this, and now the people in Bianjing City are rumoring that Miss killed Miss Mu, and she should pay for her life! ”

After a while, Jing Shengwu sighed leisurely and said, "He should have a reason for doing this." ”

When the words fell, suddenly the door of the room was opened from the outside, and the first thing that caught my eye was a corner of the moon-white robe.

"It's hard for you to think about me."

"Right now, you and I are grasshoppers on a rope, even if I don't believe you will help me, I should understand that you will not harm yourself." Jing Shengwu's eyes were detached, and he said slowly.

Rong Chu seemed to be unconscious, walked into the house with a shallow smile, and said with a smile: "You know me, General Mu has worked hard in Dachu, and the emperor of Mu Wanqing's death is bound to give an explanation, and he may have to wronged you after a while." ”

"I think clearly, if Rong Shizi wants to be relieved, he doesn't have to." Jing Shengwu's face was as usual.

Rong Chu's eyes darkened, a trace of obscurity flashed in his eyes, and he changed his words and said: "I just came back from the palace, and I heard that Concubine Duan is the concubine of Jinjing after seven days, and the Jiali has been prepared, and only one edict is needed to be decided." ”

Hearing this, Jing Shengwu raised his eyebrows and said with interest: "Rong Shizi knows everything about the affairs of the deep palace. ”

When the words fell, Rong Chujun added a little smile to his face, and said slowly: "As you said, you and I are grasshoppers on a rope, and we can't let others deceive us." ”

PS: In the early hours of this morning, my grandfather suddenly went into shock and tossed for a long time, Ah Rong himself knew that he was not in a good state, so he didn't ask for a collection, and finally a few words of ink, the parents went to school or were busy with work and had no time to ignore the physical condition of the elderly, and the elderly at home were also afraid that their children would worry about concealing it, but it was really frightening when it suddenly broke out, I hope that the relatives can find time to accompany the elderly more, and finally wish the parents and elders of the world can be healthy and safe.
