Mu Ling took advantage of the starlight and moonlight to rush back to Muxiyuan, but he didn't see the handsome man again—the basement was full of medicinal smells, as if he had found the usual medicine bag that the cigarette had put up, and the drinking water and food in it were gone.

Only the rope that was broken into several pieces was left to bind the man.

She thought of the fire in Yikun Palace, and her heart was terrified—that person wouldn't have the courage to do that, would he?

The guards of the palace are searching, eager to open every wall, every inch of turf to find, the queen's palace is even more heavily guarded, this person is injured, he can still find Yikun Palace, and set a fire vigorously? !

What a feud this person has with Su Nianru!

Mu Ling lost his mind, looked around the room that was turned upside down by the guards, and hated it.

Picking up the table and chair with missing arms and legs, folding the clothes, the dirty ones were torn, she shook her head and poked her breath, threw them into the wooden basket, and cleaned up the broken porcelain pieces.

The collapsed bed was spliced together, and the futon was fished out of the water...... There was barely enough room to sleep in.

"Is the noble lady here?"

A small call sounded from outside the courtyard, the voice was tender, Mu Ling hurriedly carried the palace lamp out, "Who is it?" ”

"Niangniang, the slave maid and the maid have been instructed by the princess to send the girl back with cigarettes." The little palace maid is only seven or eight years old, and her voice is tender and crisp, just looking at Mu Ling's eyes, she is worried and timid.

When Mu Ling finally saw the rim smoke that had been carried back on the stretcher, he finally understood why the little palace maid looked like that-

The rim smoke was beaten to the board, and the blood on her body flowed all the way, "tick" and "tick", the sound was not loud, but it was like a hammer, knocking on her heart, she stumbled and held on to the wall: "She, what's wrong with her......"

The little palace maid's name is Cuiyan, and she whispered: "The girl with the rim cigarette has been tortured...... The princess has ordered the imperial doctor to come over immediately, the imperial doctors are so good at medical skills, the girl will be fine, Niangniang, don't worry. ”

The little palace maid stepped forward to hold Mu Ling's hand, the warm palm gave her infinite strength inexplicably, and she couldn't take care of it at this time, Mu Ling asked the palace people to carry the cigarette into the house to settle it.

The rim smoke was beaten to the board, on the buttocks and legs, the flesh and blood were blurred, Mu Ling's tears couldn't stop falling, and the palace people who sent people went back to restore their lives, but Cui Yan stayed.

After saluting Mu Ling, Cui Yan said: "Her Royal Highness the princess sent a slave to serve you, and she will follow you in the future. ”

Mu Ling's eyes were hot, "The princess is merciful." ”

Cui Yan pursed her lips and smiled, her hands and feet neatly went out to boil hot water, the room was so messy, she didn't ask too much.

The child was only seven or eight years old, and Mu Ling couldn't bear to let her do too many things, one to light a fire and the other to carry water.

Liang Yan did not leave the palace immediately, but came to Muxiyuan.

Strangely, he saw Cuiyan and nodded, and Cuiyan only shouted "Seven Princes", and continued to work after saluting.

It doesn't seem strange at all that the other party is here.

Mu Ling reacted suddenly and asked Liang Yan: "That cuiyan, it wasn't sent by the princess, but your people?" ”

"People are indeed Mu Qing's, but they are also my people." Liang Yan didn't elaborate, and Mu Ling didn't want to ask too much.

"Already medicated?" Liang Yan smelled the smell of medicine in the air and asked unintentionally.

Mu Lingxin raised it and nodded vaguely: "The situation is not very good." ”

Liang Yan said softly: "I have two pills here, take them with warm water, even if I only have one breath left, I can bring the dead back to life." ”

Mu Ling took it, thanked him in a low voice, and took a water cup to deliver medicine to Rim Yan.

Liang Yan turned his back and talked about the fire in Mu Ling's clothes at the banquet tonight.

"I was startled, and was about to rush up, when I saw that you had jumped into the pool—the fire, not an accident?"

Mu Ling smiled bitterly, settled the rim cigarette, which was already a little hot, and said: "If my guess is correct, the gauze robe must have been sprinkled with white phosphorus powder - at that time, the robe burned out in an instant, and the fabric on my body had also caught fire, so I could only jump into the pool." ”

Liang Yan asked hurriedly, "Are there burns?"

"It's just a piece of red, no blisters, not serious."

"I felt that something was wrong - you had already decided to leave, how could you still go to the trouble of currying favor at the banquet." Liang Yan was afraid for a while, "That woman is so vicious!" ”

He also decided that it was Su Nianru who was the demon.

Mu Ling lowered his eyes: "If I fall into the water, I must be in a mess, and the crime of disgrace in front of the emperor is enough to drink a pot." ”

The words fell, and both fell silent.

"Ahh

Liang Yan took off the cloak on his body and subconsciously draped it on Mu Ling, "Put it on, it's cold at night." ”

Mu Ling's eyes were deep, and he didn't say a word, letting him drape the cloak with residual warmth on his body, warming his heart from his body.

"I can't get out...... Mu Ling said softly, glancing at the seriously injured rim smoke, "The assassin's matter, if it is not resolved for a day, I will not be able to leave for a day." The queen didn't say that the assassin had something to do with me, although I defended it, but except for you and the princess, who cares what the truth is. If I escape, Hugh said that the sea fishing documents in the sky are all over the world, and it is the Mu family, and it will be difficult to escape. ”

Liang Yan's heart tightened, "The assassin's matter will not drag on for too long." ”

Cui Yan knocked on the door, and without waiting for a summons from inside, she pushed the door and entered, and said softly: "Niangniang, prince, Her Royal Highness the princess is coming here, and her steps are very urgent." ”

Mu Ling immediately stood up and pushed Liang to say, "You go quickly." ”

Liang Yan's eyebrows were reluctant: "I will come to see you again." ”

Mu Ling nodded hurriedly and watched him leave from the path.

Mu Qing walked all the way and pushed the door in, "Mu Ling, you're in trouble." ”

Mu Ling raised his eyebrows lightly and invited the princess to sit down, "I thought there was enough trouble......"

She sighed softly and went to test the temperature of her forehead, which was getting hotter and hotter.

"The Imperial Doctor hasn't come yet? Papaya, go find it! Mu Qing shouted, took Mu Ling's hand and sat down, his eyes full of anxiety: "Tell me quickly, the sudden fire on your body was intentional, or did someone give you the idea?" ”

Why did the princess ask? What happened? ”

"The queen woke up, but she made a big fuss about the fire on your body, not to say that Yikun Palace was on fire, it was you who did it - I think she is going to splash dirty water on you alive or dead, you say it quickly, who gave you the idea."

"Thank you, you're still thinking of me." Mu Ling said heartily, "That fire is not anyone's idea for me. ”

Mu Qing's eyes widened in shock: "But, ......"

Seeing that she was scared, Mu Ling hurriedly patted her hands, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "The fire was an accident - after I got on stage, my clothes rubbed against each other, and they burned in an instant, and the clothes and skirts inside also burned, so I had to jump into the pool." ”

"You still danced in the pool, because you were afraid that you would show your clues and make the queen mother angry, right?"

Seeing that Mu Qing lowered her eyes, Mu Ling didn't know how to comfort her—if her mother targeted her friend, she would be very embarrassed and guilty about her friend.

"Yes, the envoys from various countries came, and the women and many ministers looked at it, and the face was small, the queen mother was not happy, and my bitter lord couldn't get any good." Mu Ling said truthfully.
