Situ Zhong, the king of Chu, was killed on the spot, Concubine Jiang was also thrown into prison, and the emperor ordered that she should not be allowed to be treated and left to fend for herself.

The emperor happened to be very weak, and was helped by the eunuch to walk up to the main hall, and the ministers also followed directly to the main hall.

The emperor began to reward the meritorious heroes in turn, and the biggest hero was Mu Yunqi, who was given the title of protector of the country and enjoyed the mansion, and since then Mu Yunqi has become a third-grade courtier and a second-grade marquis, and entered the court. Mu Yunqi was a little flattered, the higher her status, the more difficult it would be to recover her identity in the future, so she stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister is ashamed, can the minister please give other things?" ”

The emperor laughed and said, "What, Yun Aiqing dislikes me and has less reward, right?" Say, what more will I give you? ”

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister just wants to ask for an immortal body, if the minister commits the crime of defrauding the king, please ask Your Majesty to pardon your minister."

The emperor's face immediately became unsightly, "Yun Murong, do you want to do something to bully the king?" ”

Mu Yunqi hurriedly bowed his head and said, "The minister doesn't dare." ”

At this time, Situ Jing came out and said: "Father, the son thinks that Lord Yun should not mean this, but just want to be perfect. ”

Situ Xi also came out and said: "Erchen thinks that the higher the official position, the greater the responsibility, and Lord Yun should have been frightened by his father's high-ranking official Houlu to be so unscrupulous. ”

After hearing Situ Xi say this, the emperor's heart became clear, and he laughed and said: "Yun Aiqing doesn't have to be so wise to protect herself, as long as it's not too much, I won't want Aiqing's life." ”

Mu Yunqi kowtowed again to thank him, and wiped a handful of sweat when he got up, causing all the ministers to chuckle secretly, Mu Yunqi ignored them, only she knew how excessive she had done now.

Situ Jing was rewarded with the title of prince, and he could enter the palace at any time to walk, and the rewards for goods were even more, and he also took over the Ministry of Works under the jurisdiction of the King of Chu. Now only Situ Xuan is left who has not been crowned prince, as for Situ Xun himself, he has not been crowned king, let alone crowned prince, although everyone still calls "Rui Wang", "Qin Wang" instead of "Rui Prince" and "Qin Prince" on weekdays in order to distinguish it from the older generation of princes, this is still the rule set by Emperor Taizong back then. Situ Jing didn't say anything after thanking him, but he was thinking about how to restore Mu Yunqi's identity, and if she continued to become bigger and bigger, how would she be his wife.

Situ Xi also received a corresponding reward, when it came to Situ Xuan, although he did not enter the palace this time, he did a lot of work outside the palace, and he also received a lot of rewards.

This side was dispersed, but at this time, someone from the Criminal Department hurriedly came to inquire whether the case of the Zuo Qin family was still being executed, Mu Yunqi couldn't help but be shocked, stopped him and asked, "To what extent has the case of the Zuo Qin family progressed?" ”

The man replied, "The family has already carried out the execution, and the others have not yet had time." ”

Mu Yunqi suddenly became angry and said, "Situ Xuan, you are a waste. Then the people rushed outside the palace, and Situ Jing grabbed her and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Situ Xi took a step forward, "Let's go, hurry up and take a look." ”

On the way, Mu Yunqi told her about her arrangements for Situ Xuan, and finally she said angrily: "Situ Xuan, I can't spare you this time." ”

After Situ Jing and Situ Xi heard this, they looked at each other with solemn expressions, there was no problem with Mu Yunqi's arrangement, obviously Situ Yan didn't take her words seriously, and they couldn't help Situ Xuan this time.

Rushed to the execution ground, as soon as he got out of the carriage, there was a strong smell of blood, which made Mu Yunqi, who was accustomed to smelling blood, feel sick to his stomach, Situ Xi directly frowned and covered his nose, Situ Yan was better, after all, he came back from the bloody battlefield.

There were also dozens of people who were dragged to the guillotine and had no time to be executed, and Situ Jing stopped the execution with a violent roar.

When the executioner saw that the two princes had arrived, he hurriedly came over to salute, but was kicked by Situ Jing and roared: "Who allowed the execution?" ”

The man trembled and said, "King Chu"

"Situ Zhong is dead, why don't you stop the execution."

"This minister doesn't know, the minister has to listen to the arrangement of King Jin."

"Where's this waste?" Mu Yunqi asked angrily.

"In, in the Criminal Department."

"Slap" Mu Yunqi gave Situ Xuan a hard slap the first moment he saw him.

Situ Xuan said angrily: "You dare to beat this king." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to return it, but was grabbed by Situ Xi's wrist and thrown out.

"If you do something wrong, you should be beaten." Situ Xi said viciously.

Situ Xuan also knew that he was at a loss, he didn't pay attention to what Yun Murong told him at all, and he didn't do anything until it was too late for him to do anything when something happened.

Situ Xuan lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, I know it's wrong." ”

Mu Yunqi was still very angry and said loudly: "Do you know that you can come back with so many lives if you are wrong? Have you ever been to the execution ground? Do you smell that heavenly blood? You're an executioner. ”

"The clouds rise."

"Get up."

Situ Xi and Situ Jing hurriedly stopped her and didn't let her talk any more, they still favored this younger brother in their hearts.

Mu Yunqi glared at them angrily and said, "Your Situ family are all executioners. ”

After saying that, he turned around and left, and Situ Jing shouted twice behind her and didn't call her back.

Situ Jing turned his head and glared at Situ Yao angrily, Situ Yao shrank his head in fear and asked, "What should I do?" ”

Situ Xi raised his hand and held his forehead and said: "The execution has stopped, the loss is irreparable, the matter was made by Situ Zhong, he will carry this pot, and the rest of the people should be put away." ”

"Brother Three Emperors, these people will take revenge, they are all unstable, and they should be cut down and eradicated." Situ suggested.

"You are a ruler, not a tyrant, you can say that." Situ Jing said angrily.

Situ Xuan knew that he had said the wrong thing again, so he could only continue to shrink back, not daring to speak again.

The case of the Zuo and Qin families was retried, and in the end only the original charges were convicted, but the sinners were all dead, and the case ended here.

On the day of the completion of the Protector Mansion, the emperor sent a handwritten plaque, and Mu Yun knelt down to greet him. She didn't want to set up a banquet, but Mu Zhiyuan said: "Since people are in the court, they should still move around, and the banquet should still be placed." ”

Mu Yunqi had no choice but to hold a banquet and entertain the ministers. Situ Xi and Situ Jing both personally sent congratulatory gifts, and Situ Yan also came, but they didn't dare to come to Mu Yunqi, for fear that Mu Yunqi would beat him.

Mu Yunqi looked at him and sneered and ignored him, she would never spare him so easily.

The Mu family sent Mu Huahan and Mu Yunzhi to come, which was also her closest person in the Mu family, but there was another person in the Mu family who also came, Mu Yunxuan, she came with Situ Jing.

Mu Yunxuan's heart was very complicated the moment she saw Mu Yunqi, the current Yun Murong is her cousin, the person she once admired the most is now a relative, she doesn't know what to do, to be honest, they are not related by blood, if Yun Murong also likes herself, they can break that relationship, they are still family, but she doesn't feel that Yun Murong has a good impression of her, which makes her sad.

Xiao Shuyuan never expected to see the goddess in his heart anyway, and since that day of farewell, Mu Yunxuan appeared in his dreams almost every night.

He saw Mu Yunxuan sitting alone in the corner, looking at Yun Murong from afar, and he was sad, he actually walked up to her and asked, "Miss, do you still remember it?" ”

Mu Yunxuan was summoned back to her senses by him, and she really didn't remember it when she saw him at first, so she shook her head. Xiao Shuyuan was really about to vomit out a mouthful of old blood, so he had to explain himself: "Here is the person who sold paintings that day, does the girl still like Xiaosheng's paintings?" ”

Saying this, Mu Yunxuan thought about it, "Ah, Xiao", she really couldn't remember what Xiao was, so she said with a smile: "Young Master Xiao." ”

Xiao Shuyuan saw that she had forgotten completely, so he introduced himself again and said: "Xiaosheng Xiao Shuyuan, now working in the household department. ”

Saying this, Mu Yunxuan knew, "Are you Xiao Shuyuan, the champion of Jinke?" ”

"It's here, I wonder if I can ask the girl's name this time?"

"Her name is Mu Yunxuan, she is the side concubine of this king, the granddaughter of Prime Minister Mu, if there is anything else Lord Xiao wants to know, you can ask this king." Situ didn't know when he appeared.

Xiao Shuyuan hurriedly saluted when he saw it, "The lower officials don't know, and they are offended." ”

Mu Yunxuan also seemed to have done something wrong, and his eyes didn't know where to put it.

Xiao Shuyuan saw Mu Yunxuan's cramped and uneasy appearance and knew that he had harmed her, and felt a lot of guilt in his heart.

After Xiao Shuyuan left, Situ Jing asked, "Do you like this person?" ”

Mu Yunxuan immediately shook his head into a rattle and said, "I don't know him." ”

Situ Jing nodded and walked away, leaving Mu Yunxuan alone and wondering how it could be so bad today, so he turned his head to find Yun Murong's figure.
