Hearing these words, Bai Muxuan wanted to give each of them a slap in the face, but he also wanted to hear what they would discuss in the next meeting, so he deliberately slowed down.

“…… I heard that King Ula has been pursuing the crown princess, and His Royal Highness the crown prince is still jealous. If the crown princess wasn't beautiful, how could so many people admire her? The old woman selling rouge said with her eyebrows fluttering.

"This old man, listening to you, it seems that he has seen the crown princess, could it be that there is an errand in the palace in your family?" Bai Muxuan politely accosted him.

“…… Uh......" The old woman immediately closed her mouth when she saw Bai Muxuan, and said while looking Bai Muxuan up and down: "I'm also hearsay, don't take it seriously~"

Several other women also left silently, this place is close to Chizhou, Bai Muxuan is extravagant, it is inevitable that they are worried that he is the royal prince and nobleman in the palace, maybe it is the prince himself.

Bai Muxuan wanted to continue to ask something, but the old woman had already lowered her head and ignored him.

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Muxuan finally took out the portrait in his arms: "Old man, help me take a look, have you seen this woman?" ”

The old woman raised her eyes and looked at the painting, then looked at Bai Muxuan, and said with a smile: "If you guess correctly, it should be a conflict between the two of you, although I have never seen the woman in this painting, but I have a way to make you very happy after meeting her." ”

“…… Let's hear it. ”

"Oh, buy more rouge gouache and bring it to her to make sure she's happy! I make these rouge gouaches myself, and the ingredients I choose are the best raw materials, and I often send them to the palace~" The old woman's mouth was very good at speaking, and Bai Muxuan smiled faintly after hearing this.

How did she know that Yu Yao was an alternative woman who didn't like red makeup and arms, and she wouldn't like these things at all.

Bai Muxuan wanted to get close to the old woman, so he said, "Then you can help me with everything." ”

"Okay!" The old woman smiled and thought, "This is a big customer."

When the old woman was busy packing things, Bai Muxuan pretended to ask casually: "When I first walked here, I heard you talk about the crown princess, do you know each other?" ”

The old woman's eyes, hidden in the depths of the wrinkles, turned slyly, stared at Bai Muxuan, and asked rhetorically, "May I ask where the son is from?" ”

"I'm from Chizhou~ but, I've never entered the palace, and I've never seen the crown princess~"

"Oh! May I ask your surname? ”

"Don't have your surname Zhang~"

"Surname Zhang? …… I haven't heard of a dignitary family surnamed Zhang in Chizhou......"

"Our family is just doing business, not a noble family." Bai Muxuan explained.

"That's right, but looking at the appearance of the son, he is really a dragon and a phoenix among people, full of luxury~"

"The old man seems to know a thing or two about the things in the palace, can you continue to chat, I'm curious, we don't dare to discuss the things in the palace in private in Chizhou, it's better to be close than far away~"

The old woman hesitated for a moment, and slowly opened her mouth: "I'm also hearsay, I can't take it seriously, it's all to fool others into buying more rouge gouache, you don't listen." ”

Bai Muxuan saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he had to give up, paid the silver taels, brought the wrapped rouge gouache, and continued to move forward, he was really going to surprise Yu Yao after seeing her.

Yu Yao has gone through all kinds of hardships since she was born, and she has not been treated by the king since she came to the country, and now it is rare to leave the king for the sake of the overall situation, and want to take Yu Yao back to the palace.

Bai Muxuan swore that he would never let her suffer any more grievances in the future.

"Childe stays! Childe stays! A series of hurried shouts, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, gradually approached.

Bai Muxuan couldn't help but hold on to the reins, slowed down, and turned around to see a person riding a black fast horse, chasing after him.

When he got closer, the visitor glanced around, and said in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, there is news from Nighthawk Mountain that the Crown Princess has returned." ”

When Bai Muxuan heard this, his spirits were greatly lifted, he turned the horse's head, clamped his legs, and galloped back.

From time to time, he touched the rouge gouache he was carrying in his arms, and now he realized that he had never sent anything to Yu Yao.

The late autumn wind was cool and cool, blowing up the dark purple robe outside Bai Muxuan, and the appearance of galloping across was very chic.

Suddenly, Bai Muxuan let go of the horse's reins with both hands, fell off the horse's back on his back, the rouge gouache in his arms was scattered all over the ground, and the horse still kept galloping.

The person who had been following behind to report to Bai Muxuan walked to the front, turned over and dismounted, and looked at Bai Muxuan lying on his back on the ground, with a sinister smile on his face.

took out the dagger from his body and stabbed it towards Bai Muxuan's chest, and Bai Muxuan, who was still conscious, but couldn't move, closed his eyes in despair.

With a "dang bang", the dagger in the man's hand fell to the ground, clutching his wrist and looking around in horror.

"Ahh

Bai Muxuan's secret guard arrived in time, and the long sword in his hand was pressed against the man's throat: "Who sent you?" ”

"No one instructed me, I did it all by myself." The man said in a low voice.

"Is it Prince Muchen?"

"Poof" The man suddenly vomited blood from his mouth and fell to the ground and died.

The Dark Guardian's eagle-like sharp eyes scanned the surroundings and removed the hidden weapon on Bai Muxuan's back vertebrae. Then he picked up Bai Muxuan from the ground, put him on his horse, and walked back.

Mu Chen, who was hiding in the shadows, saw the secret guard gradually walking away, and he was so angry that he stomped his feet.

Mu Chen's assassination of Bai Muxuan was not to seize the crown prince's position, he knew that it was impossible.

He wanted to leave the queen without a successor, and let him live in pain for the rest of his life.

When hatred accumulates to a certain extent, family affection is not worth mentioning at all.

For Mu Chen, the rest of his life is only pain, and there is no happiness at all.

……

After returning to the palace, King Liwang summoned all the imperial doctors to treat Bai Muxuan, and said: If anything happens to the prince, all of them will be buried with him.

For a while, the doctors were sincerely frightened and uneasy.

Qin Ruoxi kept wiping her tears on the side, and her worry was beyond words.

"Mu Chen is wanted all over the country, he wants to see people in life, and he wants to see corpses in death!" The king's wrath could not be stopped.

Although the secret guard did not leave that person's mouth alive, it seemed that only Mu Chen was in a hurry to let Bai Muxuan die.

Queen Shuya made a small move before her death, so that the other concubines who left the king could not have children, so Bai Muxuan's mother gave birth, and she died because of this.

This made King Li's hatred for Queen Shuya.

……

Mu Chen missed this time, the old man around him persuaded him to go back to Wusu, he agreed, he knew that he couldn't stay near Chizhou for a long time, and the king wanted his life this time.

As the saying goes: stay in the green mountains without fear of no firewood.

He had to wait for the right moment to strike again, and the purpose of his life now was to make the palace as chaotic as possible.
