Chapter Twenty-Eight: Small Punishment, Could It Be That the Princess Forgot It

After Mu Chenyi finished handling government affairs, he received a message from the secret guard, saying that he had found the mastermind behind the assassination of the eldest princess.

Mu Chenyi quickly summoned Nan Xu, the leader of the dark guards, and asked him to explain in detail.

After Nan Xu finished saluting, he said 1510: "Your Majesty sent ministers and others to investigate the assassination of the eldest princess, and the ministers went to observe the dead assassins, and did not find any clues from them, at this time, Dark Moon Tower sent someone to help, saying that he knew the mastermind behind the assassination of the eldest princess......

Mu Chenyi interrupted: "Dark Moon Tower?"

Nan Xu explained: "Dark Moon Tower is the number one intelligence organization and killer organization in the rivers and lakes, and it is famous in the rivers and lakes, but no one knows who their landlord is, to be precise, no one has seen the true face of the landlord."

"Oh? What do you mean by that?"

"Their landlord is extremely martial arts and elusive, he will never appear unless something big happens, and he usually shows people in masks, so no one knows who the owner of the Dark Moon Tower is. There is also a saying on the rivers and lakes that all the people who have seen his true face are dead. ”

Mu Chenyi pondered for a moment and said, "You go on."

"Yes."

Nan Xu continued: "Originally, our imperial court and the rivers and lakes did not interfere with each other, so the ministers didn't particularly believe the news they came at first, but just now, the ministers found a key clue that proved that their news was correct. The mastermind behind the assassination of the eldest princess is Prince Yi. ”

Mu Chenyi said in surprise: "Prince Yi? When did they get married, and how come I've never heard of it?"

Nan Xu explained: "The previous poems would make the eldest princess famous, but the county lord of Jiahe was discredited, she was pampered since she was a child, and enjoyed the popularity of everyone, but she was discredited because of the eldest princess. She couldn't accept this gap, so she hired a killer to assassinate the eldest princess. But she was hired in the name of Prince Yi. Originally, she wanted to hire the killer of Dark Moon Tower, but for some reason, Dark Moon Tower did not take this task, so she found Dark Moon Tower's opponent Ying Lou to assassinate the eldest princess. However, this news was known to Prince Yi, and he secretly changed the task, not wanting the eldest princess's life, just saying that he would teach her a lesson. ”

Mu Chenyi took the case and said angrily: "What a Prince Yi, what a Jiahe County Lord, it seems that I am too good to them on weekdays, and I dare to assassinate the royal family, is it that I did not do as they wanted one day, so I also want to assassinate me?"

Nan Su immediately knelt down and said, "The emperor is angry." Prince Yi and the county lord of Jiahe were just confused for a while, and they would never dare to assassinate Your Majesty. ”

Mu Chenyi snorted coldly and said, "Don't dare? I think they're bold. For the sake of the eldest princess not being injured this time, I will punish them slightly, otherwise, they will have to taste it with their lives. "Although this Prince Yi is Mu Chenyi's royal brother, they are half-brothers, and his biological mother was born humblely, and it is said that he is just a palace maid, so he has not been loved by the emperor since he was a child. Although Mu Chenyi called him a royal brother, the relationship between the two was not close, and he belonged to the kind that could pass in face.

Nan Xu was shocked by Mu Chenyi's words, and secretly thought to herself: I want to tell the other secret guards when I go back, and I should be more respectful when I see the eldest princess in the future, after all, the eldest princess is the person on the tip of His Majesty's heart today.

Just when Nan Su was distracted, Mu Chenyi asked again: "Dark Moon Tower has done me a favor this time, do they have any requests?"

Nan Su replied respectfully, "No."

"If they contact you, report it immediately."

"Yes."

Recently, a major incident happened in the court, Prince Yi was removed from his post for smashing a trivial matter explained by the emperor. The entire court suddenly became panicked, thinking that the emperor would make some big moves, but after waiting for a few days, nothing happened, and everyone's hearts were put down. Everyone was deeply sympathetic to Prince Yi for hitting the emperor's gun.

**********

Prince Yi's Mansion.

After Prince Yi returned to the study, he closed the door, only to hear the sound of falling things, and the people in the house were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out.

After Prince Yi vented, he sat on a chair in the study and sneered: "Any brotherly affection is fake. Originally, I thought of the love of brother and sister, and did not let those assassins go to Mu Qianxia's life, and even feared that my personal guards would go, but how did you repay me one by one? Mu Qianxia killed my people, and Mu Chenyi was because of this incident

Anger against me, abolish my power, and you don't treat me as a brother. In that case, why should I think about the so-called family affection, this hatred, I have written it down. ”

**********

Mu Qianxia has been staying in the house very obediently recently, it's not that she doesn't want to go out, as long as she goes out, she will follow many people openly and secretly, attracting the attention of everyone on the road, she really doesn't like this feeling, so she has been staying in the mansion for a long time. Fortunately, when Hanyan left, she had already taken care of all the things in the Mingyue Club and the Medicinal Diet Workshop, and she didn't need to worry too much.

She has been reading books in the house during the day these days, and after dinner, she continued to go to Gu Li to learn the piano.

Today, as always, she went to Gu Li to learn the piano after dinner, and now her piano skills have improved by leaps and bounds under Gu Li's guidance.

After learning the piano, Mu Qianxia saw that it was still early and sat aside to chat with Gu Li.

Gu Li said suddenly: "Three days later, it will be the emperor's birthday banquet, don't forget to prepare gifts when the time comes."

"Hmm." She'd already heard Ruri talk about it.

"The emperor hates landscape paintings the most, so he can't send them." Gu Li admonished.

"Got it."

"The emperor doesn't like white, green and purple, so he can't give these three colors of things."

"Okay."

"The emperor likes expensive things, and he can't go to the street to find a perfunctory thing."

……

Mu Qianxia closed her eyes, Gu Li's sudden reminder made her panic, could it be that he already knew something?

Mu Qianxia took a deep breath and asked, keeping calm and said, "How do you know so detailed?" Have you sent someone to check my imperial brother's preferences?"

Gu Li asked with a smile: "Don't you know if you become a princess?" It's a well-known thing. ”

"I ...... Of course I ...... Of course I know, but I don't know that you know it so well. ”

Gu Li continued to ask, "This is what you told me before, princess, could it be that the princess forgot?"

Mu Qianxia smiled awkwardly and said, "Hehe, is it?" Maybe...... Maybe it's because my brain bumped before, and my memory is not very good, hehe. ”

Mu Qianxia looked at Gu Li's scrutinizing gaze, and felt that under his deep dark eyes, everything about himself was clearly exposed in front of him, and there was nowhere to escape, which was a very bad feeling. So, Mu Qianxia hurriedly found an excuse and left.

Gu Li looked at Mu Qianxia's slightly flustered back, his eyes were full of complexity......
