Huo Yunsheng was already emotionally unstable, but now she was so intimidated by Qiao Jingduan, she turned pale and bit her lip tightly, "The person who saved me is my cousin." ”

"You mean the princess?" When Qiao Jingduan heard Huo Yunsheng say this, he immediately grimaced, and the expression on his face became more and more cold.

Huo Yunshang nodded vigorously and said in horror, "It's cousin." ”

"I know," Qiao Jing bowed his head and looked at her coldly, "This matter will be handed over to me to deal with, you will stay in your yard and don't go out, I will help you report your illness!" ”

"Thank you, big cousin!" Huo Yunshang was slightly relieved when she heard that Qiao Jingduan was willing to help her, and thanked her gratefully, "I will remember your kindness." ”

Qiao Jingduan ignored her and walked straight out.

When I got outside, I saw more than a dozen people kneeling in the courtyard, all of whom were serving Huo Yunsheng.

He glanced at everyone coldly, and followed, interrogating one after another, the play always had to be done enough, and after interrogating everyone, he left Huo Yunsheng's courtyard.

rushed to the front yard, Qiu Feng just came back, and he took someone to personally send Huo Junting back to Huo Wang's mansion.

"Someone sent back?" Qiao Jingduan looked at Qiu Feng and asked.

Qiu Feng bowed his head, his expression was a little solemn, "Send it back, but the reaction of the Huo family is not optimistic, they are likely to come to seek justice." ”

"Come on, come on!" Qiao Jingduan said coldly.

He didn't know what kind of person Huo Yunshang was, but she knew Mu Changhuan, Changhuan had a cold temperament and ruthless methods, but she was easy not to be embarrassed.

If she can deal with Huo Junting like this, it must be something heinous that Huo Junting has done.

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the mourning hall.

Qiu Feng hurriedly followed, "Then you don't need to add a few more guards to guard the gate." ”

"Not necessarily." Qiao Jing said.

Qiu Feng glanced at the master's back and retreated silently.

Qiao Jing entered the mourning hall, and he walked to Mu Changhuan's side and knelt down.

Mu Changhuan smelled the scent of cold pine on his body, tilted his head slightly, glanced at him, but didn't say anything.

As Qiao Jingduan guessed, around the time of the ugly time, someone from King Huo's Mansion really came, and it was Princess Huo who personally led the person.

When the news reached Qiao Jingduan, he only said nothing.

The autumn wind led the order to retreat.

He went outside the mansion and gave the news to Princess Huo.

Princess Huo has always doted on Huo Junting, this son is the naked eye socket in her heart, how to curb the anger in her heart, she immediately glanced at Qiu Feng resentfully, and said, "The Guogong Mansion is really an eye-opener for this princess, the thieves in the house hurt my son, you don't give this princess an explanation, and even try to shield the villain, in this case, don't blame this princess for being polite!" As she spoke, she gestured to the black-pressed government soldiers behind her.

The soldiers had been instructed by Princess Huo before they came, and now when they saw her gestures, they rushed towards the Qiao Guogong Mansion without saying a word.

Qiao Guogong's Mansion was started by Wenchen, and the guards were not as good as mortals, how could they resist the soldiers of Huo Wang's Mansion, who started with military merits, and soon, the entire mourning hall was surrounded.

Princess Huo entered the front yard with a face full of anger, and she walked towards the mourning hall step by step.

In the mourning hall, there was no movement.

Until Princess Huo entered the mourning hall, she sneered coldly, "Since you don't give my son an explanation and don't give me face in King Huo's mansion, then don't blame this princess for not giving face to Duke Qiao's mansion, and retaliate with a tooth for a tooth!" Smash me! In the last sentence, she ordered the government soldiers outside.

When the soldiers heard their master's orders, they barged in from the outside without saying a word.

"Cousin!" At this time, Mu Changhuan finally got up, she glanced at Qiao Jingduan, "Whoever dares to step into the mourning hall and disturb the tranquility of your grandmother, you will take someone's life!" ”

"Yes, Princess!" Qiao Jingduan agreed, he raised his sword and walked straight to the few government soldiers who had already broken in, no one could see what trick he used, and the next moment, several government soldiers fell to the ground.

"You, you!" Princess Huo was even more angry when she saw her own people spilling blood on the spot, and she shouted outside almost frantically, "You guys don't come in quickly, don't do it quickly!" ”

"Yes, Princess!" There was a louder sound outside, and the soldiers rushed in at the same time, but in the end, they didn't dodge the sword in Qiao Jingduan's hand.

Princess Huo looked at this scene, her eyes were scarlet.

Good!

The government soldiers can't get in, can they?

Then she smashes herself!

Thinking like this, she lifted her foot to kick the brazier next to her away.

Mu Changhuan kept staring at Princess Huo, and when she saw that she wanted to do it herself, her sharp eyes narrowed, and she suddenly knelt down on one knee, holding a short dagger and wiping off Princess Huo's kick.

Princess Huo had never been on guard against Mu Changhuan at all, she only felt a sharp pain, and the next moment, her legs and feet suddenly lost strength, and she fell to her knees with a bang.

She looked at her ankles covered in blood and looked at Mu Changhuan, "You dare to hurt this princess!" ”

Her eyes were full of resentment.

Mu Changhuan's face was only cold, she stood up, held the dagger, and looked at Princess Huo condescendingly, "If you dare to touch my grandmother's mourning hall again, I will dare to take your life." ”

Mu Changhuan's tone was cold, and his eyes were even colder than his tone.

Princess Huo looked at her and couldn't help but shudder.

But thinking of her son, who was no longer a man in the mansion and whose life and death were uncertain, she quickly cheered up again, glared at Mu Changhuan and said, "My son Huo Junting was injured in Qiao Guogong's Mansion, and Guogongfu really didn't give an explanation?" ”

"Your son is injured, can you smash my grandmother's mourning hall?" Mu Changhuan did not answer the question about Huo Juntingdi, but only caught Princess Huo's crime of trying to smash the mourning hall.

Princess Huo gritted her teeth, "It was you who forcibly sent my son back to the palace in front of the life and death of my son, and it was you who were unkind and unjust first." ”

"What does that have to do with my grandmother?" Mu Changhuan did not hesitate, and asked the core in one sentence.

Princess Huo was speechless, she didn't know how to defend herself at all.

"Get on your knees!" Mu Changhuan still looked at her coldly, and reprimanded coldly, "Make amends to my grandmother!" ”

"What about me?" Princess Huo's legs were still hurting, she knew that she was not Mu Changhuan's opponent, so she could only grit her teeth and ask.

Mu Changhuan didn't bother to pay attention to her, she suddenly swept her body, swept behind Princess Huo with lightning speed, and kicked her on the knee.

Princess Huo only felt a tingling pain in her knees, and the next moment, the whole person had fallen to the ground with a bang.

She struggled to get up.

Mu Changhuan directly pressed the dagger against her face, "Kneel like this, or I'll scratch your face." ”

"You dare!" Princess Huo really felt humiliated, and she scolded sharply.

Mu Changhuan raised his hand, only to see a burst of light and shadow flashing, and Princess Huo had an extra cut on her face.

Princess Huo really didn't expect Mu Changhuan to dare to do this, her face changed and she howled.

"Shut up!" Mu Changhuan pressed against her neck again, "If you dare to quarrel again, I will kill you." ”

Princess Huo didn't know that Mu Changhuan was a person who could do what she said, she shrank hard, and didn't dare to cry again.

Seeing that she had finally come down honestly, Mu Changhuan turned around and walked towards the door, Qiao Jingduan was still fighting with the soldiers of Huo Wangfu.

What she didn't know was that at the moment she turned around, Princess Huo suddenly turned around, and she looked at her with resentment with a dead man-like look. That look was clearly a killing intent.

Mu Changhuan had already walked to the door of the mourning hall.

"Stop!" She shouted at the soldiers.

The soldiers naturally refused to listen to her, Mu Changhuan closed his eyes, suddenly raised his voice, and said again, "All retreat!" ”

This time, the soldiers stopped, and they retreated as if they were fascinated by something.

Qiao Jingduan put away his sword and held Mu Changhuan's arm, "Princess! He screamed, worry in his eyes.

It was not the first time he had seen Mu Changhuan use such a trick, he knew that every time he used such a trick, Mu Changhuan's spirit would be worse.

Mu Changhuan slowly opened her eyes as Qiao Jing called softly, and there was obviously a trace of tiredness in her eyes.

"I'll send you back to rest!" He looked at her worriedly and said.

Mu Changhuan shook her head, "I'm fine," After speaking, she ignored him anymore, turned around directly, and knelt in front of the spirit.

The people in the Qiao Guogong Mansion in the mourning hall all saw Mu Changhuan's ferocity, and they subconsciously knelt back half a step.

Next to her, Huo Wangfu saw Mu Changhuan kneeling, and she glanced at her unwillingly, "This princess has already made compensation to the old lady, can she get up now?" ”

"Let's go!" Mu Changhuan said, "It's good to do it yourself." ”

Princess Huo snorted, she stood up and limped away.

The soldiers outside were naturally taken away by her.

After the mourning hall was quiet again, Mu Changhuan stood up, and when she passed by Qiao Jingduan's side, she said, "Send me back!" ”

Qiao Jingduan didn't know that Mu Changhuan had something to tell him, so he agreed, and walked out with her.

The two walked out of the mourning hall and walked quietly on the road in the night.

"Back to Qingfeng Garden?" Qiao Jingduan turned his head sideways and asked Mu Changhuan.

Mu Changhuan nodded, "Hmm." ”

There was nothing to say all the way, and when they arrived at Qingfeng Garden, Qiao Jingduan asked Yun Mei to close the door, and asked her and Qiu Feng to guard outside, and then talked about business with Mu Changhuan in the house.

"You did Huo Junting's business?" In the slightly beating candle flame, he asked Mu Changhuan.

Mu Changhuan raised his eyebrows, "Did my cousin tell you?" ”

Xiao He shook his head, paused, and asked again, "Is it really you?" ”

Mu Changhuan didn't hide it, "It's true that I did it, I just didn't expect it...... Betrayed so quickly. ”

At the end, she sighed imperceptibly.

Qiao Jingduan understood her emotions, "Do you regret saving her?" ”

"Not really!" Mu Changhuan poured himself a cup of tea, sat down at the table, and sipped gently, "She is the person my grandmother told to take care of, even if I know that the result is betrayal, and give me a chance to choose again, I will still save her." ”

"Save people...... It doesn't seem to have to be that tragic? Qiao Jingduan said, he had seen the wounds on Huo Junting's body with his own eyes, and it was so tragic that he had never experienced it, and he had a sense of empathy for severe pain.

"It's natural for me to do things, but it's inconvenient to tell you," Mu Changhuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, paused, and said, "However, thank you for letting Princess Huo in today." ”

"Thank you for giving you a chance to vent?" Qiao Jingduan asked rhetorically.

Mu Changhuan snorted, "There are some people I can't move, I can only move some inconsequential people." ”

What she said was hazy, Qiao Jingduan didn't understand, he wanted to ask clearly, but he also knew that he couldn't ask what Mu Changhuan didn't want to say, so he could only hold back.

"If there is nothing else, I will go back first, and I have to think about how Huo Junting's matter should end." Qiao Jingduan arched his hand towards Mu Changhuan, intending to leave.

Mu Changhuan raised his hand to interrupt him, "There is really something I want you to help with." ”

"What's the matter?" Qiao Jingduan raised his eyebrows.

Mu Changhuan said, "Help Huo Yunshang choose a husband, it doesn't matter if she is rich or poor, she can only be guaranteed three meals a day, and it is best to let her never return to Beijing." ”

"Grandmother told me?" Qiao Jingduan knew what kind of person Mu Changhuan was, and as soon as Mu Changhuan said this, he thought of the old lady.

Mu Changhuan said "um", "My grandmother has mentioned it to me a few times, and this is her last wish." ”

"I know, just let her live well, but not too well, there is constant suffering in the ordinary." Qiao Jingduan asked carefully.

Mu Changhuan laughed, "Aren't ordinary people's lives like this? ”

"Yes!" Qiao Jing smiled back at her, then turned around and left without looking back.

On the side of the Beijing Palace, Xiao He didn't know what happened in the Qiao Guogong Mansion until the morning of the second day.

Immediately, he couldn't stay any longer, thinking that Mu Changhuan was worried about Mu'er, he simply took Yun Niang and Mu'er together and went to Qiaoguo's mansion.

When he arrived at Qiao Guogong's mansion, Mu Changhuan was having breakfast.

Seeing Xiao He come in with Yun Niang and carrying Mu'er, she first hooked her lips, and then asked, "Why did you bring Mu'er?" ”

"Don't worry!" Xiao He handed Mu Er to Mu Changhuan, he sat down beside her, and instructed Yun Mei, "This king hasn't had breakfast yet, help this king get the next table of chopsticks!" ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Yun Mei agreed and retreated.

Soon, she brought a pair of dishes and chopsticks over, and personally helped Xiao He serve porridge.

Xiao He ate slowly, while Mu Changhuan hugged Mu Er and coaxed him softly.

"Give the child to Yun Niang, eat first." After a while, Xiao He put down the porridge bowl and reminded Mu Changhuan.

Mu Changhuan glanced at him, "I'm full!" With that, he got up with Mu'er in his arms and entered the inner room.

Xiao He watched the mother and son leave, and suddenly, he felt that the porridge in his mouth was no longer fragrant, and the side dishes in front of him were no longer tasteful.

He put down his chopsticks, took the handkerchief handed by Yun Mei and wiped his mouth, cleaned his hands again, and then walked to the inner room.

In the inner room, Mu Changhuan was talking to Mu Er in a low voice, and when she heard Xiao He's footsteps, she turned around, "Why don't you eat it?" ”

"You're not here, you can't eat!" Xiao He said, walked to her and sat down, he held Mu Er's other hand, looked at him and smiled, "I knew that your mother would have affection for your father, and I should have let you be born a few years later, so I didn't miss the love between my father and your mother." ”

He said this with a hint of vinegar.

Mu Changhuan listened, and couldn't help but glance at him, "It's time for me to go to the mourning hall, you are here to accompany Mu Er!" With that, she got up and walked out.

Seeing this, Xiao He complained in his heart that she didn't have time to talk to him, but thinking that it was the old lady's mourning period, he felt that he was too hypocritical, so he had to press it down.

Mu Changhuan returned to the mourning hall, and not long after, the housekeeper walked in from outside, saluted, and said to Mu Changhuan and Qiao Jingduan, "Eldest prince, princess, the emperor patted Gonggong Liang and invited the two of you to enter the palace, and Gonggong Liang is waiting in the front hall now." ”

"Got it!" Qiao Jingduan was not surprised, he agreed, sent the housekeeper out, and then looked at Mu Changhuan, "Do you want to enter the palace?" ”

"Just go!" Mu Changhuan thought that Zhong Tan had promised her to help the prince lift the ban, and felt that there was no problem in entering the palace, so he agreed.

Qiao Jing bowed his head, and the two walked out together.

When he arrived in the front hall, Gonggong Liang had just finished drinking a cup of tea, and when he saw the two of them coming, he got up and saluted, squinted his eyes, and said with a polite smile, "Commander Qiao and the princess are here." ”

"Father-in-law, please!" Qiao Jingduan made a gesture of invitation to Liang's father-in-law.

Seeing this, Liang's father-in-law politely returned the salute, and the three of them walked out side by side.

Outside, the three of them divided into three carriages.

All the way to the palace.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the three of them got out of the carriage and walked in the direction of the Qianyuan Palace.

By the time of the Qianyuan Palace, it was already a quarter of an hour later.

Gonggong Liang stopped in front of the terrace of the Qianyuan Palace, and bowed his hands to Qiao Jingduan and Mu Changhuan, "The old slave will go to the emperor first." ”

"Please!" Qiao Jingduan said politely.

Liang Gonggong shook the net whip in his hand and turned to leave.

After a while, he came out, "The emperor is just free, Commander Qiao, princess, please!" ”

Qiao Jingduan and Mu Changhuan glanced at each other, and the two walked in together.

In the Qianyuan Palace, as soon as the two of them entered, they saw that the emperor's face was not good, he sat behind the throne, his face was pale, and he knocked on the imperial case without a match.

"The minister has seen the emperor!" Qiao Jingduan knelt down on one knee and saluted!

Mu Changhuan bowed down, "I've seen the emperor!" ”

If in the past, these two people saluted, the emperor would have called out a long time ago, but today he was angry, so he didn't pay attention to the two, just looked at them coldly.

has been maintaining an action, Qiao Jingduan is fine, but Mu Changhuan is very difficult.

By the end, her back hurt and she could barely stand.

The emperor also found out about this, but he still didn't excuse himself, just looked at the two of them expressionlessly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Suddenly, Mu Changhuan stood up straight and thanked the emperor.

The emperor looked at Mu Changhuan, who was already standing upright, and his face changed, "When did I get you up?" ”

Mu Changhuanyun let out a light "oh", "That may be the concubine who heard it wrong!" ”

The emperor sneered, but for the sake of the face of the Beijing Palace, he didn't force her to salute again, but said, "Do you know why I announced that you and Qiao Jingduan entered the palace?" ”

Mu Changhuan naturally knew.

But she didn't plan to say it, but asked rhetorically, "Dare to ask the emperor, what happened when you declared your concubine and cousin entered the palace?" ”

The emperor saw that she was still pretending to be confused, and he couldn't wait to smash the inkstone in front of him into her face.

But that's just thinking.

If he dared to smash it, he was afraid that Xiao He, the imperial uncle, would be able to wring his head off.

The emperor is still very self-aware of this.
