Chapter 18: A Mortal Sin
When I was a child, I learned calligraphy with my grandfather, but compared with the words of the champion Xun Chu Moxuan, it is a heaven and an underground. As a result, Chu Moxuan became my royal document, and whenever he wrote something or added some annotations to the fold, Chu Moxuan did it for him.
In fact, in addition to Chu Moxuan, Qing Yu and Xuanyuan Che's words are also very beautiful, but Manager Xu said that Qing Yu helps me repair those potted plants every day, and it is tired enough to give and squeeze grape juice, and Xuanyuan Che is the prince of Xiliang, I captured him into the East Palace, and also caused other countries to ruin their families, which is related to the affairs of Tianyu State, it is better to let him interfere less, I think Manager Xu is reasonable, so I agreed.
With the help of Champion Yuanxun, I finished the review early, and took Mr. Xu out of the palace to see Mu Yu, and heard the chief housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion say that she went to the street, and I didn't enter the house, so I took Mr. Xu to go shopping while seeing if I could meet her along the road.
People on the street rushed in the same direction, and it turned out that today was the preliminary competition of the first beauty, and I followed curiously. Because the seats had already been booked in advance, I had to stand in the outermost circle of the crowd, stand on tiptoe and stretch my neck again to barely see the figure on the stage.
After all, it is a large public, and many of the participating daughters have a thin veil on their faces. In this case, if you are eliminated in the preliminary round, you can still pretend to be a posture that you have not been here and have not been eliminated after you get off the stage. However, most veiled women are more talented. On the stage, the woman in a colorful feather coat with towering hair in a bun, although she was veiled, her elegance was not reduced at all, and because she couldn't see her real appearance, the laser was mysterious and reverie.
Although the audience in the audience could not see the true faces of these masked women. It's not that no one knows who they really are, at least the organizers and each judge have their names in their hands.
Lin Muhan looked at Liang Jingshu, who was dressed in a colorful feather coat on the stage, but he didn't expect that the eldest lady of the Shangshu family of the Criminal Department, Liang Jingshu, the crown prince's concubine appointed by the emperor, also came to participate in the competition. General Chonghua's reception banquet was that Liang Jingshu took the lead in laughing at her shoes, which made her embarrassed and lost the title of county lord.
Liang Jingshu's dancer was taught by the court of Fengqiguo, and there were less than three or five people in the entire Tianyu Kingdom who could compete with her, and it just so happened that Lin Muhan was one of them. What's more coincidental is that Lin Muhan was arranged to appear behind Liang Jingshu.
After Liang Jingshu finished dancing, the applause from the audience was not over, Lin Muhan had already come to the stage, and I saw that she was also wearing a colorful feather coat, but this feather coat was more gorgeous and exquisite than Liang Jingshu's feather coat in terms of material and workmanship. Although the two are on par in dance skills, with this beautiful dance costume, Lin Muhan has already suppressed Liang Jingshu's demeanor.
As soon as Lin Muhan's dance ended, the audience immediately erupted in a burst of thunderous applause and shouts. Lin Muhan glanced at the group of audience members who were about to go crazy, bowed slightly, turned around and walked off the stage. However, as she walked down the last staircase, a familiar lilac figure passed by her. It turned out to be Lin Muyu!
Since Lin Muhan was taken back from the title of county lord by Gu Tianba for making a fool of herself in public, those noble daughters in Tianyu Imperial City have alienated her, and even Su Chonghua has been a lot colder to her. How could she, a person who was accustomed to being held by the stars, be willing to fall silent. As a result, this competition of the first beauty has become a great opportunity for salted fish to turn over and gain fame and fortune.
In terms of beauty and talent, Lin Muhan thinks that he is slightly inferior to Lin Muyu. But Lin Muyu is already Princess Anping, and the entire Tianyu Kingdom can no longer find a second woman more noble than her. What's more, it's useless for her to fight for the title of a county lord! Lin Muhan thought that Lin Muyu just couldn't see his own good, and deliberately appeared to support the game to prevent him from regaining the title of county lord and snatch the reputation of the first beauty.
As soon as the woman in the lilac dress came on stage, I could tell that she was Mu Yu. But why did Mu Yu come to participate in this competition, if she wanted to get the title of the first beauty, I was the first to believe it, because Mu Yu is not the kind of woman who loves vanity, not to mention that she is much louder than the first beauty. After thinking about it, I think Mu Yu's goal must be the "Four Gentlemen", after all, this kind of authentic ink treasure flowing from the Fengqi Palace is unique, and once you miss it, you may not have the opportunity to take a second look in this life.
I thought that Mu Yu's talent was dancing, because I knew that her dancing was more beautiful than anyone here. If she made a move, the first two feather dances would just be broken bricks that drew out her beautiful jade. But Mu Yu didn't dance, but stretched out his slender jade hand to stroke the strings, a song "Cool Cool" was hummed to her inadvertently a few days ago, I didn't expect that a single Jianqin can play this current pop song so gracefully.
When Mu Yu stepped down, many people were immersed in her piano and forgot to applaud. I dragged Manager Xu out of the crowd, went backstage to find Mu Yu, and prepared to go to the best restaurant in the imperial city for lunch, and then go to the lake to enjoy the lotus.
In the distance, I saw a person dressed as a maid talking to Mu Yu, and then Mu Yu hurriedly followed her to the back alley. I called a few times and she didn't hear it, so I had to follow.
When I entered the alley, I didn't see Mu Yu and Na Yahuan. I thought they had turned in front, so I quickened my pace and chased after them, but I didn't see Mu Yu after looking for a long time. saw Lin Muhan coming out of a courtyard in front of him surrounded by several maids-in-law. That sneaky look, at a glance, you know that you have just done something bad for fear of being encountered.
A bad premonition came up, Mu Yu suddenly disappeared in this alley just now, it won't have anything to do with Lin Muhan! Thinking of this, I asked Mr. Xu to guard outside, and jumped over the fence and came to the courtyard. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Mu Yu's personal maid Cailing lying motionless at the door of a room covered in blood.
Kicking open the door, I saw two men dressed in the Prime Minister's Mansion were Mu Yu pressing on the bed and tearing her clothes, Mu Yu struggled desperately, but how could she be the opponent of two stout men.
I grabbed the stick from behind the door and slammed it on the heads of the two men, one of whom fainted, while the other pulled out the dagger from his waist and threw himself at me.
I swung my stick and threw it at the man with all my strength, but he dodged it, kicked the stick in my hand away, and his dagger was already on my neck. Just when I felt that I was going to die this time, a golden light flashed in front of me, and the man who was so arrogant that he couldn't do it just before had been pressed to the ground by the golden-faced master.
I rushed into the house, took off my robe to wrap Mu Yu's trembling body, took her into my arms and whispered comfort: "The bad guy has been caught, it's okay, it's okay!" ”
"I'm going to kill them!" Mu Yu suddenly broke free from my embrace, rushed out of the house, picked up the dagger on the ground, and stabbed at the courtyard.
"Mu Yu!" I shouted and grabbed Mu Yu's hand holding the dagger, took the dagger from her hand and held it in my own hand, and covered her eyes with the other hand, "Mu Yu, your hands should be used to stroke the piano and spoon, dance the most beautiful dance music in the world, and your eyes should be used to watch the flowers and admire the moon, and enjoy all the beautiful scenery in this world." Leave this murderous and bloody matter to me! ”
I gripped the dagger and aimed it at the chest of the man who had been pressed to the ground by the golden-faced master. In fact, I haven't even killed a chicken before this, but this man almost tarnished Mu Yu's innocence, this mortal crime, even if he dies a hundred times, ten thousand times is not enough to eliminate the hatred in my heart.
Just as the dagger was about to stab into the man's chest, I only felt that the force in my hand was easily dissolved, and the dagger came out of my hand. Then, a large hand covered my eyes.
"Your Highness, your hands should also be used to caress the piano and spoon, and your eyes should look at the flowers and admire the moon. With me, I won't let you do this murderous thing yourself! ”
I smelled the heavy smell of blood in the air, and then my body was pulled in the direction of the door, the gold-faced master helped me, and I pulled Mu Yu out of the courtyard together.
I asked Master Jin to transfer half of my secret guard to Mu Yu. He personally led a team of Imperial Forest Army to rush into the Prime Minister's Mansion violently, and without saying a word, Lin Muhan was put in prison. In this world, I can forgive anyone, and the only one who can't forgive is the person who hurt Mu Yu. She hurt Mu Yu's hair, I want her to pay for it with a head full of green silk, she almost lost her innocence when she hurt Mu Yu, I want her to taste the taste of being pressed by a man under her arbitrary*, and then cut her with a thousand knives!
Even Prime Minister Lin didn't dare to say anything about this matter, but he Su Chonghua and several military generals and important members of the military department knelt outside the East Palace to intercede for Lin Muhan.
Gu Tianba once brutally killed one-third of the officials of the Tianyu Imperial City along with the Nine Clans because of a disagreement, making the Tianyu Imperial City bleed. At that time, why didn't he bring someone to the East Palace to ask for an invitation? Now for a woman who deserves to die for a crime, she is kneeling outside the East Palace with a few old ministers in the scorching sun, is it because I usually have a soft heart and can't bear to do anything to them?
That's right! I'm not the kind of cruel and tyrannical person, but rabbits bite when they are in a hurry! What's more, Lin Muhan hurt Mu Yu, the person I can't wait to care for with my life.
You love to kneel, then kneel, anyway, it's not me who sweats and has knee pain! The dignified courtiers of Tianyu do not devote their minds to defending the territory and seeking the welfare of the people, but they want to die for a sinister and vicious woman, even if they kneel to death there, they deserve to ask for themselves!
