Chapter 18: The Rise of the Seven Princes
In the Heart Cultivation Palace, when he heard Chu Yu say about his mother's concubine, the emperor couldn't help but slowly close his eyes. There was no reply for a long time.
And Chu Yu was still kneeling in front of him, waiting for the emperor's answer.
In the Yuehua Palace.
"Mu Jing, what kind of conspiracy do you have?" Mu Yuan looked at Mu Jing's unpanicked expression, the light and breezy appearance on her face, for a while, she couldn't guess what she was thinking, and her overwhelming appearance, she hated it, and she couldn't wait to disfigure her immediately.
"Seventh princess, just say, is there someone who instructed you. If you say who is behind the scenes, this palace will come to the emperor to intercede for you and spare your life. Jiang Guifei was much calmer.
Mu Jing suddenly raised her eyes, this lady had such a thought.
"Yes." Mu Jing suddenly got up, knelt on the ground, and immediately cried, "Niangniang, you have to be the master for me." He covered his face with his sleeves and kept smearing it, but not a single tear fell.
"Niangniang, as long as I tell who is behind the scenes, you will spare me." Mu Jing said while crying.
"That's nature." Jiang Guifei said very calmly.
"It's me."
The guards who were originally surrounding the Yuehua Palace made way for a passage, and Chu Yu, who was wearing a moon-white robe, appeared from it, and all eyes looked in his direction.
"Huh? Seven princes, this is the crime of deceiving the king. Jiang Guifei raised her eyes and looked at Chu Yu.
"I don't know why the Seventh Prince did this."
Mu Jing's tense nerves couldn't help but ease.
"This king has already made it clear to his father, because this princess is afraid that she will not be able to prevent disasters for this king because she is afraid that she will recover her appearance, so she conceals it. The father has already punished the king for this. Chu Yu stood with his hands behind his back, and his words were very indifferent, even a little crazy.
When Jiang Guifei heard this, since the Seventh Prince had already moved the emperor out, it was naturally inconvenient for her to say anything, if she said anything more, wouldn't it be disobedient to the emperor.
"It turned out to be a misunderstanding, the Seventh Princess, you should have informed the palace earlier." Jiang Guifei's originally domineering tone suddenly turned her face and became a kind patriarch.
"In order to make up for the misunderstanding just now, it is better for the Seventh Prince and the Seventh Princess to stay and eat." said with a slightly apologetic smile, glancing at Mu Kite from the corner of his eye.
"That's right, I haven't eaten with my sister for a long time, so it's better to ......" Mu Yuan followed Jiang Guifei's words and said, Plan A doesn't work, then implement Plan B.
"No, there is still something in the palace, so I won't bother the concubine." Chu Yu said, without waiting for Jiang Guifei to speak, he pulled Mu Jing and walked outside. Just now it was considered to give them face.
Jiang Guifei squinted her eyes and looked at Chu Yu's back, she should have dealt with him and the woman in the first place, it seemed that it was time.
The carriage marched out of the capital.
Mu Jing looked at Chu Yu and didn't say a word, a little puzzled. In fact, it was not difficult to see just now that this Chu Yu seemed to dislike Jiang Guifei very much, and his words were cold and cold. There must be something wrong with this.
"These days, you try to go out as little as possible." Chu Yu suddenly held Mu Jing's hand, and his face gradually turned a little pale.
"Huh?" Mu Jing looked at Chu Yu suspiciously, what the hell was going on. "What the hell is going on?" Mu Jing asked suspiciously.
Chu Yu finally couldn't hold it anymore at this moment and fainted directly.
"Steward Li, hurry up." Mu Jing suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Suddenly, the carriage suddenly stopped, and dozens of masked men in black appeared at once.
"Princess, protect the prince." Steward Li jumped out of the carriage and took out a knife from under the carriage.
"Who are you, you know, this is the carriage of the Seventh Prince. In broad daylight, he dared to assassinate at the feet of the Son of Heaven. ”
"It's the Seventh Prince, that's right, it's the life of the Seventh Prince." The Assassin at the head drew his sword.
"Kill." At the sound of an order, he rushed out of the carriage.
And at this moment, another man in black appeared.
"Princess, take the prince back to the house." Ji Yuan said next to the carriage.
When Mu Jing heard it, it was Ji Yuan's voice.
Then there was a slap on the horse's buttocks, and all at once the carriage rushed forward.
Mu Jing lifted the curtain and saw that they had become a ball in an instant.
Frowning slightly, this matter is not simple, lifting the curtain, she keenly noticed that there were archers waiting for them not far away.
An arrow pierced the horse's back, and in an instant, the horse galloped forward as if it had gone mad.
Mu Jing picked up Chu Yu on his back, this guy was really heavy, and jumped out of the carriage,
Mu Jing lifted the curtain and suddenly took a fancy to the big tree in front of him.
When I reached out and picked it, a few leaves fell, and then put it to my mouth.
Blow.
At this time, the voice sounded, and the archers, who were hiding in the shadows, were delirious for a moment, and regarded each other as enemies, and fired arrows at each other.
There was chaos in the streets, and the carriage kept moving and turned out of the city gates.
"When you wake up, take a pill first." Mu Jing threw the leaves and took out the pill for Chu Yu to take.
At this time, the horse suddenly stopped because of her music.
"Do you know hypnosis?" Chu Yu became more and more curious about Mu Jing, could it be that she really had a problem. When her father told him, she was not convinced, but now she can hypnotize, which makes him have to doubt.
"Lord Wang, now is not the time to discuss this, but we are lost now. Find a way to get back. I said who the hell did you offend? No wonder you told me to go out less. And Mu Jing was even more curious about Chu Yu, those assassins were coming for the Seventh Prince.
"Someone."
"Big brother, there's no one in the carriage."
"Definitely didn't run far, chase."
Saying that, the man in black who had just appeared rushed forward.
By this time, it was getting dark.
Chu Yu hugged her and flew to the ground.
"Let's find a place to rest." Mu Jing looked around, there was no village in front of him, and there was no store in the back.
After walking for a long time, I finally saw a ruined temple. Then Mu Jing helped him in and sat down.
"You take this, you are here first, and I will go find some firewood." Mu Jing handed a bottle of powder into his hand, "There is danger that you can use it, this thing is drugged." ”
"You...... Be careful. Chu Yu grabbed Mu Jing's hand and said worriedly, they should be fine after they have been gone for so long just now.
"Don't worry." Mu Jing patted Chu Yu's hand, gave him a reassuring expression, and then walked out.
After Mu Jing left, Chu Yu got up and walked outside the temple, took out the signal arrow on his body and released it.
Immediately afterward, three or five people appeared.
"See the prince." Five black-clothed men appeared, kneeling on the ground in unison, with respectful expressions.
"Find out where today's assassins come from." Chu Yu is like frost, he has been provoking you for a long time, if he repeatedly provokes him, then he is not welcome.
"Yes!" Then the three or five people on the ground immediately disappeared.
