Chapter 171: How to Sleep Tonight?

Mu Yunting walked out of the door.

Unhurriedly went down to the second floor.

Immediately, two secret guards dressed as merchants came forward, Mu Yunting whispered a few words, and the two of them looked dazed, quietly went up to the second floor, and entered the wing next to Shen Qingli.

Mu Yunting went to the stable to lead the horse, and when he got out of the Yuelai Inn, he turned a corner and went up a cobblestone path, and on the side of the road was a lush shrub, which looked dark under the moonlight.

A dark shadow suddenly sprang in front of him from the woods.

Without waiting for Mu Yunting to stop, he stepped forward and bowed his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Mu, the Empress Dowager has a secret decree." As he spoke, he took out a sealed bamboo tube from his sleeve and presented it to him.

Grand empress dowager?

Mu Yunting's heart sank, touched the pear blossom mark on the black-clothed man in front of him, hurriedly stepped forward to take the bamboo tube, and knelt on the ground with his robe: "The minister accepts the order." ”

"Your Excellency, please get up." The man in black hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and chuckled, "Subordinate Cheng Yan, it is rude to be appropriate, and I hope your lordship will forgive me." As he spoke, he stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Don't hide it from your lordship, my subordinates have been infiltrating the Canglang Society for more than a year, and they are still relatively familiar with the situation of the Canglang Society. ”

When Mu Yunting heard this, he frowned and asked, "Why didn't Master Cheng go to the Yamen to find me, but instead meet in this way?" "Since it is the Empress Dowager's person, is it necessary to be so sneaky?

Cheng Yan said: "My lord, the secret decree of the Empress Dowager is naturally only for you alone, if the Fourth Highness knows, is it still called a secret decree?" ”

"I see!" Mu Yunting replied quietly.

"Take care, sir. The subordinates went to the yamen to meet the four highnesses. Cheng Yan turned around and disappeared into the bushes, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

In a moment, two figures rushed in front of them.

"It's okay, go back to the Joy Inn!" Mu Yunting looked at the two of them, turned around and walked back.

Shen Qingli hurriedly freshened up, but he didn't feel sleepy, lying on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep.

regretted not stopping Mu Yunting. He just went out alone. If there are a lot of people in Situ Kong, what can I do?

He was thinking about it when he heard a knock on the door. Then, Ah Qi's cold voice came: "Shizi! ”

"Get out!" Mu Yunting glanced at her expressionlessly and strode inside.

Ah Qi retreated.

"Shizi!" Shen Qingli heard that Mu Yunting was coming back so soon, so he hurriedly got out of bed and walked out. Seeing him walk in unscathed, his hanging heart fell to the ground. He stepped forward to help him take off his coat and asked, "Are you alright?" ”

"It's fine." Mu Yunting smiled at her and said. "It seems that Xu Zheng's news is quite accurate, there is no need to ask for a hundred taels of silver, Situ Kong did go to the Western Regions."

said. Mu Yunting washed his hands and sat in front of the desk. Raised his hand to pick up the candle, took out the bamboo tube from his arms, opened it, and saw that it was a pale yellow piece of straw paper, with no words on it, so he turned his head and said to Shen Qingli: "Wanwan, bring me a glass of water." ”

Shen Qingli hurriedly fetched water, brought it over, and put it in front of him.

Mu Yunting put the paper in, took out a dagger from his sleeve, and swiped it lightly on his wrist, and immediately blood seeped out again, dripping in the water, the blood quickly spread out in the water, and the straw paper floating on the water gradually had handwriting.

"Oh, what are you doing?" Shen Qingli hurriedly took out a handkerchief to bandage him, and said angrily, "How can there be a person like you, who can get injured at every turn?" ”

"It's okay, I'll start lightly, and I'll be fine soon, the words on this paper need blood and water to be reflected, you see, isn't this there?" Mu Yunting pointed to the paper in the water, pinched it with both hands, and carefully roasted it on the candle.

"Is it a secret order?" Shen Qingli stepped forward curiously and asked.

"Hmm." Mu Yunting nodded, seeing her interested, he simply said, "It's the secret decree of the Empress Dowager, come, let's see together." ”

"Then I won't look at it." Shen Qingli hurriedly got up and poured him tea.

"Whatever you want." Mu Yunting smiled, "As long as you don't mess with me." ”

"Where? I'm not an unreasonable person, I don't want to know what I shouldn't know, but you shouldn't hide it from me, and don't hide it from me. "It's awkward.

"Okay, I know, you go to sleep first, and I'll go over with you in a while!" Mu Yunting unfolded the note and looked at it, his brows gradually knotted, and a trace of imperceptible coldness flashed on his handsome face, in addition to asking him to severely punish the people of the Canglang Society, the Empress Dowager also vaguely said that the emperor had a secret illness, and asked him to go to Youzhou Hump Temple to find Master Yichen to obtain the Lingxin Dan Yunyun before returning to Beijing.

Why did the Empress Dowager tell him this?

Does she want to get involved in politics?

Mu Yunting read the note several times, vaguely understood a little in his heart, pondered for a while, then put the bamboo tube, took off his shoes and went to bed, and took the pillow person who was already asleep, and also fell asleep.

The next day, Mu Yunting took Shen Qingli to see Shen Ke.

Shen Ke looked at the two people who came together, and still said calmly: "I still say that, I have nothing to say, if you want to kill or chop, whatever!" ”

Mu Yunting frowned, glanced at Shen Qingli, and said in a deep voice: "You talk, I'll wait for you over there." ”

Shen Qingli understood, answered, stepped forward and said, "Brother, why are you so confused? What if you have a good one, sister-in-law and children? What should I do? What about the Shen family? ”

"Li Niang, I don't think I'm wrong." Shen Ke said calmly, "Since the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty, our former dynasty family has been ostracized everywhere, suffered from difficulties, and suffered the cold eyes of their so-called nobles of the dynasty. As long as I resell the mountain stones, if I don't do it, someone will naturally do it, why is it that the people of the previous dynasty family are guilty if they do it, and the other nobles of the dynasty do it, it is a matter of course? ”

"Brother, the change of dynasties has always been due to the qi of each dynasty, and no one can stop it, why do you have any plans for restoration, it is right to set up an organization, but what is wrong is the purpose behind you." Shen Qingli persuaded: "At present, the country and the people of Daliang are safe, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, no one wants to make any more waves, so why should my brother care about Da Zhou or Da Liang?" ”

Shen Ke didn't continue the topic, or he felt that it was useless to say more, so he simply said: "Li Niang, do what you do for your brother, bear it for your brother alone, when you go to see your sister-in-law later, tell her, let her write down and leave the book, and take the child out!" She's still young, and I shouldn't delay her. ”

"Brother, why don't you understand, what you have done is meaningless." Shen Qingli sighed and continued to persuade, "As long as my brother bows his head and realizes his mistake, there may be room for reversal in this matter." ”

The fourth prince and Mu Yunting are not murderous people, and they have not killed those who have a good attitude towards confession, she doesn't understand what he is still resisting?

"Li Niang, go see your sister-in-law!" Shen Ke looked Shen Qingli up and down, and said, "Be sure to bring what I said." ”

Shen Qingli didn't squeak and went straight to his sister-in-law Qin.

Without waiting for Shen Qingli to speak, the Qin family cried again, saying that since she married into the Shen family, she had not had a good life, and all the expenses in the house were from her dowry shop and so on.

also said that now that Shen Ke has committed such a big crime, I don't know if there is any possibility of getting out of prison, why is her life so bitter?

Shen Qingli suddenly thought of Xu Zheng's plan, and thought to himself, if the plan was successful, Shen Ke would be able to escape, but he would have to live incognito from now on, what would happen to the mother and daughter of the Qin family when the time came?

It's better to let them reconcile and leave first, and then talk about it later.

After thinking about it, he said what Shen Ke meant, saying that Shen Ke didn't want to affect their mother and daughter.

Who knows, the Qin family agreed without thinking about it, saying that she was willing to leave.

Shen Qingli was suddenly disappointed in his heart.

The feelings of childhood sweethearts are not as good as such a big change, whose sorrow is it.

The Qin clan obediently wrote and left the book.

Half an hour later, the Qin family was picked up by the mother's family who got the news.

Shen Qingli's heart was full of mixed feelings for a while.

A good home becomes fragmented in the blink of an eye.

Shen Ke took the paper and the book without any expression on his face.

Shen Qingli's persuasion was fruitless, so he had to go back in a huff.

When he returned to the inn, he saw that there was a little girl about two years old in Taozhi's arms, it turned out to be his little niece Kexin, although the little guy was already asleep, but there were still tears in the corners of his eyes, Taozhi said helplessly: "Young lady, this is sent by Mrs. Sister-in-law, saying that since Miss Kexin is the flesh and blood of the Shen family, it is better to stay in the Shen family, and also said that if she takes it with her, Kexin will suffer a lot of grievances, so it is better to leave her to the young lady......"

What a ruthless mother!

Shen Qingli rubbed the little guy's soft hair, looked at her pink face, couldn't help but feel a burst of pity in his heart, and hurriedly hugged her from Taozhi's arms: "Let her come to my room to sleep!" ”

In the evening, Mu Yunting returned to the house and saw Xiao Kexin crawling around on the bed, frowned and said to Shen Qingli who was making the bed: "Where did you get such a child, what if you let her pee on our bed?" ”

"Don't you know each other? This is my little niece Kexin. Shen Qingli picked up the child, kissed it, pointed at Mu Yunting, and said, "Kexin, this is uncle, call uncle quickly." ”

After getting along for most of the day, Xiao Kexin has already stuck to Shen Qingli.

Sure enough, it is the feeling that blood is thicker than water.

The little guy blinked, looked at Mu Yunting, and saw that there was no trace of a smile on his face, so he couldn't help but grin and cry.

Mu Yunting's face darkened.

"Oh, why are you scaring kids? Really! Shen Qingli complained, "Look, it makes you cry!" ”

"I didn't scare her, she was willing to cry." Mu Yunting looked at the little third party who was crying with some impatience, and frowned, "Tonight, how do you sleep?" ”

This little guy isn't going to share a bed with them?

Then he resolutely disagrees! (To be continued) R580
