In the cramped stone house, the candle flame on the wall is the only source of light.

The woman had been in a coma on the collapse of the stone slabs, and the dim candlelight hit her face, not only did not add a little luster to her face, but made her originally pale face even more sickly.

The man in black stood on the edge of the rockfall, his face covered by black cloth, and it could only be seen that his eyes were full of pride, as if a hunter was full of harvest after catching his prey.

Just as he raised his hand to reach for the woman, there was movement from the stone door.

His eyes narrowed slightly, he withdrew his hand, and turned to walk towards the stone door.

The stone door opened, and after listening to the whispers of his subordinates, the man's eyes instantly showed displeasure.

Glancing back at the people on the rockfall, he explained to his subordinates in a cold voice: "Take care of her!" ”

......

Qingxin Temple——

was invited early in the morning, and in the face of Mu Xinyu, who appeared alone, Bai Piao and Luo Xi were particularly puzzled.

"Brother and sister, you invited us over in such a hurry, but what happened?"

"Brother Bai, Xi'er, please sit down and wait for me to explain to you slowly." Mu Xinyu was polite and serious.

After the brother and sister sat down, they both stared at her closely, waiting for her to speak.

Mu Xinyu waited for Zhou's sister-in-law to finish tea before she began to say: "Recently, there have been many burglaries in the capital, and after investigation, the people who were robbed were all foreigners. Seeing that you live in a remote place and are not locals, the prince is worried that you will also become the target of others, so he specially sent someone to invite you over. ”

After listening to her, Luo Xi covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Sister Mu, my eldest brother and I are not afraid, those bandits can't rob us." ”

Mu Xinyu looked at the two brothers and sisters seriously: "The prince and I both know that you have the ability to protect yourself, but in our hearts, you are not ordinary foreigners, if you have any accidents, as your friend, the prince will not be able to escape the blame." What's more, now that the details of the thieves have not been clarified, how dare we be careless? ”

Bai Bleaching asked in a warm voice: "Brother and sister, I deal with people all day long, why haven't I heard of this unsolved case?" ”

Mu Xinyu patiently replied: "This is the capital, and there are countless people from other places, and the top is afraid of causing unnecessary panic, so the news is pressed to death." There are only one or two people in the court who know about it, and even the eldest prince and the second prince don't know about it. ”

Bai Piao suddenly looked out of the hall: "Why don't you see Brother Qin, but you have gone to the early dynasty?" ”

Mu Xinyu sighed worriedly: "My prince is one of the people in charge of this case, he was busy with this case yesterday, and he went out again after coming back at night. ”

Bai Piao wanted to say something more, but suddenly a guard came to report: "Lord Wang, the second prince is here." ”

Mu Xinyu immediately lengthened his face: "What is he doing again?" Every day when I have nothing to do, I know how to bully my cousin! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Situ Mingxin came in from outside the hall, taking the steps of not recognizing the six relatives, and his face was full of displeasure: "Princess Jiling, what you said is a little too much!" This king and Mu Zi are in love and happy with each other, how can it be said that this king bullied her? ”

Mu Xinyu got up and didn't want to see him.

"Second prince, my cousin let you take it away, what are you going to do?"

"Of course I'm here to hire." Situ Mingxin raised his chin arrogantly, and then beckoned to the outside of the hall.

I saw several family members carrying a few burdens in, and spread out the things in the burdens one by one, and a person who looked like a steward presented Mu Xinyu with a big red booklet and motioned Mu Xinyu to count.

Situ Mingxin said chic and arrogant: "This king's dowry is sincere enough, right?" Don't worry, your cousin has followed this king, and she will enjoy endless glory and wealth, and this king will never treat her badly. ”

Mu Xinyu opened the booklet and browsed it, and then opened a box at random, and the jewels came to his face, and the box full of jewels almost blinded people's eyes.

"The second prince is really generous, just these jewels are priceless, it seems that the second prince really likes Sister Muzi!" Luo Xi was attracted by the box full of jewels, and his eyes were straight and bright.

"That's it!" Situ Mingxin straightened his chest, proud of his magnanimity.

"Second prince, when is the marriage between you and Sister Muzi? Can my eldest brother and I go and ask for a cup of wine? Luo Xi asked expectantly.

"This king has already sent someone to choose an auspicious day, and you will naturally be indispensable for the wine at that time."

"Then let's congratulate the second prince first!"

"Haha......" Situ Mingxin laughed happily.

Looking at such a rich dowry, Mu Xinyu was also polite to him: "For the sake of the second prince being so sincere, I will allow this family affair for my cousin." ”

Hearing this, Situ Mingxin's face was even more joyful, as if he was going to be a groom tonight: "That's right!" ”

"But ......" Mu Xinyu's words changed suddenly, and he paused intentionally before he said seriously, "Please also ask the second prince to treat my cousin carefully, if my cousin is wronged, I will have to deal with the second prince to the end." ”

"Humph!" Situ Mingxin immediately grimaced, obviously dissatisfied with her threat. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and then complained to Mu Xinyu, "Anyway, your cousin has a really strange temper!" Yesterday she ran out for some reason, and when the king was looking for her everywhere, she suddenly ran back to the second king's mansion, and as soon as she came back, she lost her temper at the king, saying that she would not let the king touch anything! ”

"Huh?" Mu Xinyu was slightly surprised.

Bai Piao and Luo Xi, who were drinking elegant tea on the side, suddenly raised their eyes.

But soon, the two returned to their normal colors and continued to eat tea.

Situ Mingxin seemed to be very annoyed, and circled around a box, while his narrow eyes quickly swept over the people present, and then said to Mu Xinyu: "This king knows that she just wants a name, no, this king prepared the dowry overnight and sent it quickly!" ”

Mu Xinyu asked with concern: "Then did my cousin agree?" Is she still in the Second King's Mansion now? Why didn't you bring her with you? ”

Situ Mingxin was dissatisfied: "Whether she agrees or not, she is already the king's woman anyway!" This king also wanted to bring her here, but she didn't know what was crazy, and she locked herself in her room since last night, and this king couldn't coax her! ”

"Do you want me to help you coax her and ask her what she thinks?"

"This is exactly what this king wants!"

"Sister Mu, can you take me there?" Luo Xi put down the teacup, got up to her side, pulled her and begged, "You are gone, no one is playing with me, it's so boring." ”

Mu Xinyu thought for a while, and then looked at Bai Piao: "Brother Bai, my prince hasn't come back yet, it's a little lazy to leave you in the mansion, otherwise you can go to the second prince's mansion with us." ”

Without waiting for Bai Piao to respond, Situ Mingxin urged a little impatiently: "Okay, okay, let's go, don't rub it off, this king is still waiting to go back and coax people!" ”

......

When they arrived at the Second Wang's Mansion, Mu Xinyu and the others were taken by Situ Mingxin to the Yusheng Courtyard, which was Situ Mingxin's bedroom.

Standing in front of a magnificent door, Mu Xinyu patted the door according to Situ Mingxin's instructions, and called gently: "Cousin, are you inside?" ”

Soon, a cry came from inside: "Xinyu, don't come in, I don't want to see anyone now." ”

The cry was full of grievances, but it was indeed the voice of 'Muzi'.

Bai Piao and Luo Xi, who followed them, stood behind them, listening to the voices coming from inside, and couldn't help frowning.

Situ Ming said angrily: "Look, look, this king will say that she has a strange temper!" This king didn't provoke her, so he was angry with this king for no reason! ”
