Chapter 12: Entrusting Each Other with Life

The jade building rises, the green curtain is high, the red beads are thrown, and who steals it on the bridge. In the distance, the clouds are light and light, and it is difficult to control an inch, as if there are only two of them in this high-rise building and the vast country......

Mu Ruoying relied on the anthem, wanting to take advantage of the clouds to disperse and look greedily at all the scenery, even if she was a little dazzling by the sunlight in the afterglow, she still had to look at the countless people in the world.

"I helped you so much today, but you gave me a thousand taels, it's really stingy."

Chu Lingran looked at the people under the sunset, Chu Lingran originally thought that Mu Ruoying and bright red were a perfect match, just like the red dress worn at the banquet that night, and they were the rich flowers of the world. But she herself is cold and refined, as cold as the frost and snow, and white should be Mu Ruoying's color. Now that the golden afterglow is shining, Chu Lingran looked at Mu Ruoying and realized more and more that this woman did not belong to all the colors in the world, she was dazzling and colorful, but there were countless in the world.

"The general is wrong, that one thousand taels is the general's flesh money. And the general underestimated me last night, and it is not an exaggeration to take today's busy power as the general's reparation. ”

Mu Ruoying showed very well what it means to be inches, when she talked about Chu Lingran's body, she also looked up and down, looked at Chu Lingran's handsome face and broad back, and symbolically licked her lower lip to show her satisfaction with Chu Lingran.

"Mu Ruoying, you don't seem to know the danger of a man."

Chu Lingran grabbed Mu Ruoying and forcibly let Mu Ruoying sit on Chu Lingran's lap, Chu Lingran leaned on Mu Ruoying's shoulder and gasped, the air was full of ambiguous breath. Mu Ruoying wanted to laugh at Chu Lingran, but she didn't think that she would arouse Chu Lingran, but at this moment, she was completely panicked, for fear that Chu Lingran would really have some idea of a jackal, and she wouldn't be able to beat that devil. Chu Lingran asked himself for more than 20 years, he had lived a life of restraint and few desires, and he had such a huge hatred buried in his heart, how could he move any love between men and women, but he admitted that he had burst the embankment again and again in front of Mu Ruoying, and Mu Ruoying's small hooked lips provoked him so unscrupulously.

"It's me who is abrupt. Now that Lord Rong'an's wish has been fulfilled, it's time for me to go home. ”

Chu Lingran pushed Mu Ruoying away with all his strength, and the strength he used was his best effort, Mu Ruoying was thrown to the railing by him and hit her waist, she was already annoyed by Chu Lingran's lightness, and now she is like a snake and scorpion, what does this man want? Mu Ruoying glared at Chu Lingran, but met Chu Lingran's miserable and forbearant eyes, she was suddenly speechless, did Chu Lingran finally come to her senses? He... Finally understood that Mu Ruoying would not be Chu Lingran's life?

"Farewell."

Mu Ruoying looked at Chu Lingran's back as she turned to leave, remembering the warmth that Wen Cun and Chu Lingran gave her last night, and wanted to keep Chu Lingran for a while. But she clearly knows that they can't love the result, and it is better not to love than to love. Her eyes are also the same as Chu Lingran before, unwilling to fate, contempt for herself, love for each other, and sadness for life. Chu Lingran, our dream is so short, but it is extraordinarily lucid.

It was midnight when Mu Ruoying returned to Mu Mansion, and the lights in Mu Mansion were indeed bright, and the whole house was waiting for Mu Ruoying to return to her house. Mu Ruoying is very tired at the moment, but she has no choice, she still has a ring of plays to cooperate with the performance, she still has her own hatred to be responsible for paying off, her life, she has never been tired of saying a word.

"Father, Ying'er has kept you waiting."

Mu Ruoying returned to the mansion and said hello to Mu Jinghong. Mu Ruoying turned to look at all the Mu Mansion subordinates who knelt down and saluted her, she just looked at them lightly, several of them who had bullied Mu Ruoying and Mu Ruoying's mother were trembling and kneeling in the crowd at this moment, and few of the people in the crowd were kneeling peacefully. Mu Ruoying retracted her gaze, no one dared to get up without saying anything, she turned to look at Mu Jianran, the two of them, their eyes were full of doubts and surprises about reality, Ming Ming morning Mu Ruoying was still a county lord, and now she has become the lord of the country in charge of half of the country, what method did Mu Ruoying use to be so powerful.

"Why don't you two salute me?"

Mu Ruoying's voice did not leave any emotion, she was not angry and arrogant, and it was the dignity of the king that could not be violated. The air was stagnant, Mu Ruoying waited for the two of them to kneel and bow, Mu Ruoying could afford their worship.

"Mu Jianran knocked to see the lord of Rong'an."

"Mu Jingfei knocked... Knock on the glory... Lord Anguo. ”

Mu Jingfei has been clothed and fed since she was a child, He Xiyou has never scolded since she was a child, except for the new emperor in her life, no one has bowed, and now she has bowed to the person she hated the most since she was a child, she couldn't help crying in front of all the subordinates, she swore in her heart that she must kill Mu Ruoying. Let Mu Ruoying die without a whole body.

Mu Ruoying didn't let them get up for a long time, Mu Ruoying stood in the center of the main hall, looking condescendingly at these people who looked down on her since childhood, the future is still very long, let's look at each other.

"Get up, it's etiquette, and I shouldn't have taught you. Didn't your mother teach you? ”

Mu Ruoying looked at He Xiyou who was sitting at the back of the main hall with Mu Jinghong, He Xiyou looked at her children and saluted a little beast who had been respectful to her before, she was distressed and hated Mu Ruoying. She didn't dare to say no, now Mu Ruoying, next to her power, is in charge of the entire world's economy, only to realize what kind of authority Mu Ruoying is.

"The courtiers know their mistakes."

He Xiyou finally stood up, bent down and saluted Mu Ruoying, He Xiyou could endure the length of a moment, and she also knew the proportion, but she had already begun to think about her own killing strategy in her heart. Now that Mu Ruoying's power is so great, I am afraid it is even more difficult to act.

"Ying'er, it's almost okay, how did you become one... Lord of the Nation. ”

Mu Jinghong looked at the people in this room who were taught by Mu Ruoying, and felt very uncomfortable, the people in this room were originally Mu Jinghong's people, and they obeyed him alone, but now Mu Ruoying seems to have become the real master of Mu Mansion, and his purpose of disaster relief has not been achieved, but he let the dog emperor and Mu Ruoying pick up a bargain.

"Just as my father heard, the emperor has promoted Ruoying's official position, ranking on the right side, on a par with my father."

Mu Ruoying sat down slowly at this moment and drank tea, she was not afraid that Mu Jinghong knew that she was using him, Mu Jinghong was a person who knew the times, and tearing her face apart would not do her any good, and now the whole country knew that the lord of Rong'an was the lord, and he had no way to take himself.

"I didn't know you were so scheming."

Mu Jinghong only realized now, all the plans were planned by Mu Ruoying early in the morning, and the previous obedience is now pretending. Mu Ruoying is like Mu Jinghong at the moment, scheming and calculating, winning thousands of miles. Even the means and scheming are far better than himself, Mu Jinghong was stunned, he was angry, but there was no way to take Mu Ruoying, thinking that he, a father, might have to cling to Mu Ruoying in the future, so he was speechless.

"Father is false. If there is nothing else, Ruoying will retire and see you in the court tomorrow. ”

"You're going to the court tomorrow?"

Mu Jinghong thought that Mu Ruoying would take a half-official position and would not face the emperor, but he knew that he had not treated Mu Ruoying well since he was a child, and now it seems that Mu Ruoying did not regard himself as the Mu family.

"Father rest assured, tomorrow Ying'er will just go to explain the tax payment situation in various places in the future. Ying'er doesn't want to be attached to whom now. ”

Mu Ruoying's words are true, she doesn't want to tear her face with Mu Jinghong for the time being, her power is not enough for her to have her own tendencies, she never fights uncertain battles.

Mu Jinghong didn't say anything anymore, he just marveled that he hadn't discovered her daughter's city for a long time, and now in the world, Mu Ruoying actually wants a piece of the pie. He can't talk to Mu Ruoying for a moment now, although he doesn't want to admit it, but Mu Jinghong is afraid of Mu Ruoying at this moment.

When all the people in the main hall dispersed, only Mu Jianran, Mu Jingfei and He Xiyou, the three people who suffered from Mu Ruoying's great humiliation today, they couldn't believe for a long time that Mu Ruoying had risen to prominence in just a few days, and had ascended to a position that they couldn't reach without leaving them any time to breathe. They didn't know that for this opportunity, Mu Ruoying endured it for eight years, and she was a dog who killed her mother for eight years.

"Mother, if the slut is not removed, how should the three of us gain a foothold in the mansion?"

The killing intent in Mu Jingfei's eyes when she talked about Mu Ruoying was so obvious, her humiliation today caused her to almost lose her mind, she must let Mu Ruoying die. He Xiyou didn't speak for a long time, why didn't she want Mu Ruoying to die? But how to do it neatly and leave no traces really embarrassed her.

"A few days later, Mu Ruoying will go to the national temple as the lord of the country to incense, this is the tradition of the first product of the past dynasties of our country, when the mountain road is steep, it is better for us to buy the killer of the Dark Sea Tide Pavilion, kill Mu Ruoying, and then declare to the outside world that Mu Ruoying was humped by the sedan chair man, and the mountain road was rugged and died."

Mu Jianran happened to remember that his drinking friend had once boasted to him that he had made friends with the killer of the Dark Sea Tide Sound Pavilion, so he came up with this trick. His plan is not meticulous, but if it is done, it can indeed solve He Xiyou's confidant. When He Xiyou was still hesitating, Mu Jingfei loudly agreed, and they all hoped that Mu Ruoying would die as soon as possible and let Mu Mansion return to its former peace.

"Yes, Mother, make up your mind. Look at Mu Ruoying's invincible appearance. My brother's future and I are now in your hands. ”

"Okay, this matter must be thorough. I'll leave it up to you, remember, you must not let anyone else know about it, especially your father. ”

He Xiyou finally agreed to Mu Jianran's proposal, she has always been thoughtful and meticulous, and she can also see through Mu Ruoying's methods and scheming, she can really be called a smart woman. But even if this matter is a little dangerous, she has to complete it as soon as possible, she finally feels that if it is not Mu Ruoying who dies in a few days, then her He Xiyou's life will not live for a few more days. Mu Ruoying's means are far above her, and she must solve Mu Ruoying's slut as soon as possible.

"Master, you're back."

Mu Ruoying returned to her own house, that was the only place where she could find peace, there were people to clean it every day, the furnishings in the house were indeed much cleaner and tidier than before, Mu Ruoying was reluctant to change to another courtyard, only this room could make her feel the breath of her mother, as if her mother had never left her. She is not alone, she is not a scheming woman, she has never seen through people's hearts, nor has she tasted all the flavors of the world. In this room, she can lie to herself, she can be herself.

"Ling'er, maybe my life will be in danger in a few days, you go to Chu Mansion to find Chu Lingran and tell him, can Mu Ruoying owe him another favor."

Mu Ruoying closed her eyes and wanted to fall asleep, but what lingered in her mind was Chu Lingran's eyes, affectionate but forbearing, and she couldn't erase the sadness. Mu Ruoying is really tired today, only she knows how much effort she spent to leave Chu Lingran, she asked Chu Lingran to save her life, maybe it was because she only believed that Chu Lingran could save her in the world.

"Master, what are you going to do? Is it dangerous? ”

Although Ling'er has not been with Mu Ruoying for a long time, she has already regarded Mu Ruoying as her only relative, Mu Ruoying's life safety is more important than her own, and she can't bear to take this risk from her master. ”

"Dangerous, of course, but worth it."

Mu Ruoying still lowered her eyes, she was also tired, she probably never took her life seriously.

"Master, is it worth it?"

"Ling'er, aren't we living until now just to watch those people die?"

Mu Ruoying's tone was extremely calm, she had nothing to hide, and she didn't have much sadness, she was trying her best to complete it step by step, she was no longer the girl who could be asked if it was worth it.

"Master... If General Chu is too late, aren't you? ”

Ling Er wondered why the master, who had always been resourceful and well-planned, would entrust his life to an outsider, was Chu Lingran so worthy of Mu Ruoying's trust?

"Fool, he'll go."

Mu Ruoying looked at the bright moon outside the window, just like her heart for Chu Lingran, clear but cold. Complete love, complete dependence, but dare not approach, dare not touch. Chu Lingran will definitely come, she is so determined, her life can only be saved by Chu Lingran.
