Chapter 114: The Discord Scheme
That's what you did too? Mu Zhufeng looked at the petals in the teacup, and the smell was still very good.
"Yes, it's not as mellow as tea, but this flower tea can also remove the garbage in the body, if the general likes it, he can drink more." Ji Wan put down the things in her hand, and then raised her head to look at him.
Mu Zhufeng tasted carefully, the fragrance of flowers came to his face, and the haze in his heart was swept away.
The two men sat like this, neither of them spoke to the other, and neither of them mentioned the matter.
Mu Zhufeng still couldn't bear it in the end, not to mention that he didn't lose anything.
If it were someone else, how could he have kept.
In the early dynasty, Xie Yutang helped Mu Zhufeng speak one after another, and the prince became more and more suspicious of Mu Zhufeng, and Mu Zhufeng couldn't understand why Xie Yutang would speak out to help him.
After the next dynasty, many ministers who had been with Mu Zhufeng stayed away from him, which made Mu Zhufeng feel that something was wrong, and Chi Fangrui sighed in his heart when he saw his confused and incomprehensible appearance.
Wan'er married him in the end, the two families are related, Mu Zhufeng is not good, and he is no better, so he stepped forward and said: "General Mu, if there is nothing to do, would it be good to get together in the teahouse for a while?" ”
Mu Zhufeng glanced sideways at Chi Fangrui and nodded.
In the teahouse, the two of them ordered a pot of tea, and Mu Zhufeng asked directly: "What's going on?" Why is everyone avoiding General Ben. ”
Chi Fangrui picked up the teacup, his hand paused slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, looking at him as if he really didn't know.
"Don't you know why?"
"If General Ben knew, he wouldn't have come to ask you today." Mu Zhufeng is really angry, what is wrong with them all.
And he also felt the hostility of the prince towards him, and he knew that Xie Yutang did not have any good intentions, but he really did not think of betraying His Royal Highness the prince.
"In the past few days, Xie Yutang has become more and more enthusiastic about the general, although I know that you have no second thoughts, but the prince will not think like this. I don't need me to say anything more about what the prince said to you during this time. Chi Fangrui sighed lightly, if it weren't for Wan'er being in his mansion, he wouldn't have met him today.
The more Mu Zhufeng listened, the more angry he became, Xie Yutang was really despicable enough, and he actually used such a move to drive a wedge between him and the crown prince.
"Thank you, father-in-law, for the point."
Chi Fangrui shook his head, "Go back quickly, you have to have a good chat with the prince about this matter, you can't be separated from the prince because of their tricks, and you will be the only one who will suffer at that time." ”
Mu Zhufeng understands the stakes here, naturally he can't let them succeed, what he has to do now is to find an opportunity to get rid of Xie Yutang as soon as possible, so as not to let him play any tricks.
When Mu Zhufeng walked out of the restaurant, the first thing he did was to go to the prince's mansion, and he must explain it clearly to the prince.
When the prince heard that Mu Zhufeng was coming, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Let him in." ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince." Mu Zhufeng saluted when he entered the door.
"What's the matter with General Mu?" The prince leaned back in his chair and stared at him with a lazy expression.
When Mu Zhufeng heard his salutation, his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly spoke: "Prince, the minister has something to say." ”
"General Mu doesn't want to talk to Prince Ben about Xie Yutang, right? If so, it goes without saying. ”
"No, His Royal Highness the Prince, this is Xie Yutang's plan, in order to divide the relationship between the prince and the ministers, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not fall for their tricks." Mu Zhufeng's tone was very affirmative, but there was hatred in his eyes.
When the prince heard this, he looked at him with cold eyes, and he still had some doubts in his heart.
Mu Zhufeng saw his hesitation and continued: "Prince, please think about it carefully, what has the minister done so far to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suffer? Although Xie Yutang separated the relationship between the minister and the prince in the court, the minister really had no two hearts. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not fall for their schemes. ”
"General Mu, what evidence do you have to prove that all this has nothing to do with you, if it does, Prince Ben is not very disadvantaged." The prince's eyes were full of coldness, he didn't fully believe Mu Zhufeng's words, and when the secret guard came back to report, he also said that Mu Zhufeng had not done anything wrong.
But Xie Yutang's appearance doesn't seem to be unrelated at all.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Mingjian, the minister really did not betray His Highness."
"That's enough, Mu Zhufeng, if you really don't have a relationship, prove it to Prince Ben. There is no evidence. The prince's face was filled with anger.
Mu Zhufeng's words stopped abruptly in an instant, and finally said: "Prince, the minister will prove all this, but please ask the prince to believe the minister once." Mu Zhufeng was in a hurry to death, and his hatred for Xie Yutang was a little more.
The prince was silent for a moment, and suddenly said loudly: "Okay, this prince will believe you once, but don't blame this prince for being unkind to you next time." After speaking, the prince turned around angrily and left the lobby directly.
Mu Zhufeng returned to his home in despair, sitting in the study and thinking about how to get rid of Xie Yutang.
Chi Wan sat in the courtyard and continued to make flower petals, and the old lady heard that Mu Zhufeng was in a bad mood when she came back, so she went directly to visit Mu Zhufeng.
"Feng'er." The sudden arrival of the old lady surprised Mu Zhufeng.
"Mother, why are you here?" Mu Zhufeng hurriedly got up and helped her sit on the chair on the side.
The old lady sat down, and the servant directly brought a cup of tea, and the old lady took a sip and said, "You have been sullen for the past few days, is something wrong?" ”
"No, it's just a matter of annoyance in the court, and my mother doesn't have to worry about it." Mu Zhufeng said lightly, as if he was talking about something inconsequential.
"Well, then Mother won't be able to help you." The old lady sighed lightly, the affairs of the court are not something that she can talk about.
"The mother should not worry about her son's affairs, and if the son figures it out, he will be fine, so he doesn't have to worry." Mu Zhufeng knew that his mother was worried about him.
As a son, he is really unfilial, which worries his mother.
The old lady stayed a little longer, and then left, and she couldn't participate in many things, so she didn't want to stay, it would only increase her troubles.
After the old lady left, the shadow walked in from outside, he already knew that Mu Zhufeng's situation now, as his subordinate, he must not sit still.
"General, this matter can't go on like this, it must be resolved as soon as possible." The shadow entered the house and fell to his knees and spoke his thoughts.
Mu Zhufeng was slightly stunned and looked at him with a frown.
The shadow didn't care either, "General, if you don't get rid of this person, you won't be able to raise your head in front of the prince in the future, and the general's future will be worrying at that time." ”
How could Mu Zhufeng not know.
"General Ben is free to conclude this matter, you don't have to be suspicious, remember General Ben's words, Xie Yutang will die, even if you want to assassinate him, you must be well-arranged."
When the shadow heard this, his heart was happy.
"Yes, General. Subordinates know. With that, the shadow withdrew.
Mu Zhufeng sat on the chair and had nothing to do, so he got up and went to see Chi Wan.
Chi Wan sat on the stone table, coughing from time to time, Mu Zhufeng walked over nervously, and said, "Are you not feeling well?" ”
"Maybe it's this petal these days, maybe the pollen got into the mouth." After Ji Wan finished speaking, she coughed again, and her face turned a little red.
Mu Zhufeng gently soothed her back and gave her relief, and she clearly felt the emaciated figure on Chi Wan's body in her hands. The fundus of the eyes is more distressed.
Chi Wan finally came to her senses, and she felt a lot more comfortable after taking a sip of tea.
"Would you like to ask the doctor to come and have a look?" Mu Zhufeng asked with concern.
Chi Wan shook her head, "No need, I'll just drink a little more hot water." ”
Mu Zhufeng sighed lightly, and then he didn't say anything more, and he was more worried in his heart.
In the afternoon, Mu Zhufeng still called the doctor, Chi Wan took a fancy to the doctor and walked in, sighed in her heart, and didn't say much, and stretched out her hand to let the doctor take the pulse.
The doctor touched his beard and withdrew his hand not long after, and said, "General, Madame is just too worried about labor, and the heart disease caused by it can be recuperated with more cultivation and some medicine." ”
"There's Dr. Lao, Xiuxiu, and the doctor will go to grab the medicine together." The general instructed Xiuxiu, but Xiuxiu didn't dare to delay and went out directly with the doctor.
Mu Zhufeng looked distressed, "It's better for you to take care of your body." ”
"The general is too worried, I don't feel uncomfortable, but it's just a cough, and you're too nervous." Chi Wan's face was indeed not very good.
"It's not that you're nervous, you were in poor health when you were in Shangshu Mansion before, and now it's serious, so I naturally have to worry." Mu Zhufeng was telling the truth, he remembered the scene in Shangshu Mansion clearly, if it was a minor illness, maybe he wouldn't be so worried, but now, he has to worry.
Hearing this, Chi Wan was silent, when she was in Shangshu Mansion, only she knew what was going on.
Mu Zhufeng stayed for a while, and was called out by the shadow, Mu Zhufeng's face was cold when he left, and he was clearly seen by Chi Wan, Chi Wan's heart tightened, did something happen?
Shadow and Mu Zhufeng returned to the study, and Mu Zhufeng asked with a cold face, "What's the matter?" ”
"General, everything has been prepared, but I don't know when the general will make a move." The shadow was a little impatient in his eyes, as if he wanted to cut off Xie Yutang's head now.
Mu Zhufeng frowned and thought about it carefully, "Send someone to investigate what Xie Yutang has been doing recently?" ”
"Not for the time being, but my subordinates heard that Xie Yutang seems to have something to go out, but I just don't know if it's accurate." The shadow hesitated, and he didn't know if the news was accurate.
"Whether it is accurate or not, we must keep up with it, and there must be no mistakes."
The shadow replied loudly, "Yes." ”
Mu Zhufeng looked at the back of the shadow leaving and fell into deep thought.
In the evening, Chi Wan didn't come out to eat, and the old lady also knew that she was not feeling well, so she asked her to stew some more supplements and send them over, Mu Zhufeng finished eating absentmindedly and returned to the study to deal with affairs.
In the evening, in the dead of night, Mu Zhufeng came to Chi Wan's room.
