Chapter 36: The Prince is grounded
"The prince is really clever, and in a few words, he blames the three girls of the Feng family on the head of the three girls, and cleans up his relationship with Sanssoucian."
Mu Beituo smiled weirdly.
Mu Liancheng glanced at him coldly and said, "Feng Qingyan is a victim, how can he be responsible?" Besides, I'm telling the truth. ”
"Then why did Jiang Mingche look for you instead of Dingguo Gong, who is the father of the third girl?"
"Everyone knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is thoughtful and can often strategize, how difficult is it to deal with a mere worry-free door?"
"But if you have a little intention of destroying the Sanssouci Gate, you won't let the Jiang family escape, in my opinion, you have the heart to cover it up, right?"
These words made Mu Zun's face even more ugly.
Mu Liancheng sneered: "Third child, if you insist that I protect the Jiang family, then I have to ask you." ”
"From beginning to end, you are responsible for chasing and exterminating the Sanssouci Gate, and you are responsible for chasing the Jiang family, why has it been almost a month, but you have not arrested Jiang Mingche for a long time, and let him commit the crime under your nose?"
"Speaking of which, it's more likely that you have a relationship with Sanssouci Gate, right?"
"You ......" Mu Beituo choked, "During this time, I have been tracking down the whereabouts of the remnants of the other Sanssouci Sect, and I have been working hard every day, and I have never stopped, but that Jiang Mingche is too cunning and has never been caught." ”
"And where were you last night?" Mu Liancheng asked again.
"I'm ......" Mu Beituo almost blurted out the three words of Qinglu Temple, "I drank a few more glasses of wine last night, I was drunk and unconscious, and I rested in the mansion." ”
Feng Qingyan and Mu Liancheng are in the same group, if he says that he went to Qinglu Temple, he is afraid that he will be framed by them, it is better to make up a nonsense to confuse the past, at most it is just a crime of poor supervision.
Mu Liancheng knew that Mu Beituo was too cautious, and he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he asked: "You have always been strict and strict with yourself, why did you get drunk last night?" ”
"It's just a coincidence, and I'm regretting it." Mu Beituo gritted his teeth and replied.
Mu Zun, who was at the top, was very annoyed when he saw that the two sons were coming and going, accusing each other.
"Alright, stop arguing!"
"Father, the crown prince ......"
Mu Beituo wanted to pour some dirty water on Mu Liancheng again, but was interrupted by Mu Zun: "I handed over the case of Sansso-Wu Gate to you to deal with, but you neglected your duties and let the prisoner escape, do you think you don't have any responsibility?" ”
"Erchen, Erchen is guilty!" Mu Beituo immediately fell to the ground, but he was unwilling.
This old guy really still favors Mu Liancheng!
Mu Zun looked down at the two of them, and said in a cold voice: "Prince, you let go of the fugitive without permission, it is really disappointing to me, although it is to save people, it is understandable, but a mistake is a mistake, and there is a deserved punishment." ”
"From today onwards, stop all your duties, and think about it in the Prince's Mansion, without my permission, you must not go out of the mansion for half a step, otherwise you will be severely punished!"
"The retainers obey the emperor's orders." Mu Liancheng happily accepted it.
This punishment seems to be just confinement, but in fact it is not light.
dismissed from his position, and was still confined in the house, unable to communicate with the outside world, in essence, he was half a waste prince.
Mu Beituo secretly thought to himself that during this period, without Mu Liancheng getting in the way, he could finally let go of his hands and feet and show his skills.
Mu Zun said again: "Third child, since the person escaped from you, then you are responsible for chasing him back and making meritorious contributions!" ”
"Yes, my son will do his best."
"Well, step aside." Mu Zun rubbed his forehead, his face tired.
Mu Liancheng and Mu Beituo silently withdrew from the imperial study, and then left separately.
His head began to swell and hurt again, and Mu Zun had no choice but to put down the government affairs at hand and go to the side hall to rest.
The chamberlain said worriedly: "Your Majesty, do you want to send the imperial doctor over to take a look?" ”
"No, it's useless." Mu Zun waved his hand and said.
His physical condition is getting worse and worse, I am afraid that he will not have many years to live, but his sons are still not angry at all, who should this Great Yan Dynasty be handed over to in the future?
It is said that early this morning, Qingtao woke up and found that the young lady was no longer there, so she also left Qinglu Temple with those jewelry boxes and silver tickets.
But for a while, she didn't know where to go, so she planned to go back to the mansion to pack her bags first.
Unexpectedly, when I came back, I found that the young lady had not left.
"Miss, you haven't eaten for a day, and if you continue like this, you'll be hungry, the slave specially made your favorite lotus seed soup, how much can you eat?"
"I don't have an appetite, let's take it."
After Feng Qingfang returned home, he locked himself in the room, not thinking about tea and rice, and not saying a word.
At this time, it was the first sentence Qingtao heard from her mouth today.
couldn't be persuaded hard, Qingtao had no choice but to shake her head and sigh, and go out with her meal.
By the next day, Feng Qingmad finally ate a little, but he still didn't eat much.
For three days in a row, she spent time in chaos.
Until this morning, Qingtao ran back from outside and said breathlessly: "Miss, the slave maid heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was convicted of letting go of the Jiang family, and was dismissed and grounded by the emperor. ”
"What?" Feng Qing's hand shook wildly, and the teacup fell and shattered to the ground.
"It's all my fault, it's me who has caused him a burden."
The imprisoned prince has a bleak future, how could Mu Liancheng's supposed brilliant life be ruined because of her?
Thinking of this, Feng Qingfang hurriedly got dressed and got out of bed.
"Qingtao, help me comb my hair, I have to go to the Prince's Mansion quickly."
Qingtao exclaimed: "Miss can't do it, the emperor ordered that no outsiders are allowed to enter the prince's mansion, and it is said that there are guards at the door." ”
"I have my own way to get in." It is not difficult for Feng Feng to evade the guards and sneak into the prince's mansion.
It's just that I don't know if Mu Liancheng still wants to see her now, if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have ended up like this, he must hate her in his heart, right?
After a little grooming, Feng went to the prince's mansion alone.
When she arrived, she hid behind a large locust tree, and saw from a distance that there were four guards guarding the vermilion lacquer gate.
So I went around in a circle, came to the side courtyard wall, and climbed in.
The original owner of the Prince's Mansion had been here, and he had deliberately memorized the terrain and layout inside, and it was with Yi Feng that he easily found the courtyard of Mu Liancheng.
At the gate of the courtyard, she heard the sound of feather arrows passing through, and when she stepped through the moon gate, three arrows hit the target.
Mu Liancheng took out three more arrows, fired them together, and hit the red heart again.
This man's reputation as an archer is not something to boast about!
Feng Qingfang couldn't help but admire.
"What did you find?" Mu Liancheng suddenly asked.
It turned out that he thought that his subordinates had come back to his life.
"His Royal Highness the Prince." Feng called softly, with an apologetic tone.
Mu Liancheng was stunned for a moment, turned around, and suddenly showed a light smile.
CHAPTER XXXVII
"Frivolous? How are you? ”
Mu Liancheng put down his bow and arrows, walked slowly, and smiled with a handsome face, "How did you get in?" ”
Seeing that he was not as sad and depressed as he imagined, Feng Qingfang was surprised, but also relieved a little, and smiled: "I slipped in over the wall." ”
Thinking of how Feng Qingfang came and went freely in the Third Prince, and how he escaped from his hands, Mu Liancheng felt as if he had asked a nonsense.
"Since you're here, let's come in and have a cup of tea."
Mu Liancheng led Feng Qingfang into the pavilion and called the little maid to serve tea and snacks.
"This is the tip of the hair that has just been tributed, the taste is fresh and tender, it is very good, try it."
Feng Qing took a few sips, and sure enough, the taste was strong and mellow, and it was sweet and sweet.
However, at this time, she did not have the intention of tasting tea.
"Your Highness, you, don't you blame me?"
"Why do you ask?" Of course, Mu Liancheng knew that she had this question, but he suddenly wanted to pretend to be stupid.
Feng Qingfang's face showed guilt, and said: "It's all because of me that you were blamed by the emperor and reduced to this point, and I made you miserable." ”
"This palace is still a little confused, the emperor condemned me, because I let go of the people of Sanssouci without authorization, I deserve it, what do you have to do?" Mu Liancheng continued to play dumb.
"But if I hadn't forced you to release them, you could have taken them back!"
"Why are you persecuting me?"
"I promise to marry ......" Feng said lightly, but the person in front of him stared at him with a pair of good-looking phoenix eyes shining brightly, with a wicked smile on his face.
This guy turned out to be on purpose!
Forget it, for the sake of being ashamed of him, bear with it.
"Anyway, I'm the one who hurt you like this, I'm sorry!"
Mu Liancheng smiled, but did not speak.
Feng looked at him lightly and couldn't help but wonder a little.
"You don't hate me?"
Mu Liancheng suddenly suppressed his smile and said with a straight face: "Of course this palace hates you, if it weren't for you, this palace wouldn't be like this." ”
Like now, children have a long relationship, and they know that they can't do it.
Feng Qingfang thought that he was referring to the current situation, and his pretty face immediately collapsed, his fingers grabbed the sleeves of his shirt, and his heart was uneasy.
lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "Then you scold me and get angry first." ”
"What's the use of scolding you?"
"Beat me up then?" Feng Qing raised his chin slightly, his eyes showed timidity, Mu Liancheng's martial arts were so high, he was afraid that he would be disabled if he beat him.
I just hope that he can be merciful when he starts.
Mu Liancheng said coldly: "What's the use of beating you?" ”
"So, what are you going to do?" Feng Qing was frightened, "Could it be that you still want to ...... Bite me? ”
Hearing this, the thousand-year-old iceberg Mu Liancheng couldn't help but laugh out loud.
It turns out that the smart and clever Feng Qingmad also makes stupid times, and he is very cute!
"You're teasing me again!"
Feng Qing stared wildly, her cheeks puffed out with anger, she thought too much, she thought that Mu Liancheng would be sad because of the punishment, so she came to apologize and comfort her, but people didn't care about it at all.
Mu Liancheng lightly shook Feng Qing's hand and said seriously: "Light-hearted, I don't blame you, and I don't hate you, because this is a choice I made myself, not forced by you." ”
"If I don't want to, if you just kneel down and beg me, I won't waver, you know?"
Yes, Mu Liancheng only had to give an order at that time, Jiang Mingche and the others didn't want to leave, Mo said that she promised to marry him, that is, she promised to be a cow and a horse for him, and the result was the same.
All because he didn't want to break her heart.
At this moment, in addition to being sorry, Feng Qingfang could only say one more thing: "Thank you." ”
