Xie Chongning pondered for a while, "If you are by my side, she will not be embarrassed by you." ”

There was a bitterness in Mu Yu's mouth, feeling that this county lord is still a master who sees people on the dishes, as long as Xie Chongning is there, he will not embarrass himself? If Xie Chongning leaves, will this county lord skin himself?

"If that's the case, then it's embarrassing for Big Brother Xie." She sighed lightly and had to give in to the facts.

In the evening, Mu Heyun learned about the holy decree, called Mu Yu to the study, and carefully instructed, "You kid, you have never been far away, and now you have to accompany the county lord to the south, remember that safety is the most important thing." ”

Mu Yu nodded obediently, she was worried in her heart, there was Xie Chongning on this outing, her father was so opposed to her meeting Xie Chongning before, she thought that her father would be like thunder.

"Father, this trip is not only mine and the county lord, but also the county king and Lord Xie." In front of her father, she didn't dare to call her "Brother Xie".

"I know." Mu Heyun sat in his position and sighed, "It's time to go south, and the south is not peaceful." ”

Now that the government is chaotic, even in the capital, there have been smashing incidents, not to mention those places where the emperor is far away, Mu Heyun's worries are not unreasonable.

"Father, don't worry too much, this trip is accompanied by Master Xie, he is strong in martial arts, I will be fine." Mu Yu comforted.

Mu Heyun frowned, and snorted coldly, "It's because of him that there is something to do!" I'm the least at ease with handing you over to him. ”

"Why does my father always dislike Lord Xie, the rumors are incomprehensible, and don't say anything else, Lord Xie has never been an enemy of the Luanping Hou Mansion, and has never harmed the Hou Mansion, why does my father refuse to accept him so much?" Mu Yu asked the puzzle in his heart because of repeated times.

Mu Heyun never told Mu Yu about this, he sighed and looked at his daughter, there are some things, maybe it is time for her to know, "Xie Chongning is the orphan of the Xie family, this Xie family was slaughtered, according to legend, it was killed by the enemy, I am friends with the Xie family, as soon as Xie Chongning's father died, I began to investigate this matter." ”

Mu Yu was surprised, his father even investigated the destruction of the Xie family? "And then?"

"As soon as I found a clue, I was stopped." Mu Heyun looked into the distance and recalled what happened that day, "I found the waist card of the Xuanhu internal guard in the Xie family. ”

"Xuanhu Internal Guard?" She had heard that this Xuanhu internal guard was the emperor's secret guard, and he had been secretly protecting the emperor's safety, and occasionally helped the emperor do some unsightly things.

It's just that how could the waist card of this Xuanhu internal guard appear in Xie Mansion?

"I found this waist card when I went to Xie's house for verification for the second time, and on the second day, Xie's house was burned by a fire." Mu Heyun's hands attached to his knees were slightly folded, as if he was regretful and forbearing.

"The second time I went to find out? Could it be the first time it has fallen? ”

Mu Heyun shook his head, "The waist card is placed on the table, you can see it at a glance, and it will definitely not be missed." ”

So this waist card was deliberately placed there by the Xuanhu internal guard? So the emperor is warning his father not to continue to investigate? The emperor had just ascended the throne back then, so why did he specifically prevent his father from continuing to investigate the affairs of the Xie family?

Mu Yu gradually thought about it, could it be that the emperor destroyed the Xie family? It's a pity that there is no such record in the book she carried, only that Xie Chongning betrayed the country and became a great minister.

Could it be that Xie Chongning discovered that the emperor was the one who destroyed his family? These are just their own speculations, and there is no factual basis, "Then my father didn't continue to investigate?" ”

"I can ignore the more than 100 people in the Hou Mansion, but your grandmother, mother, and you are not something I can take the risk of." Mu Heyun's eyebrows were furrowed, and the worries in him were not fake.

The prosperous Xie family is still like this, and his father is an official at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and he is in the hands of the emperor.

"But Master Xie is just a poor person, there is no need for my father to be so estranged from him, right? And the emperor has also reused him now, maybe the waist card of the mysterious internal guard back then was not ordered by the emperor? ”

"Rumor, you're too simple." Mu Heyun denied her idea, "What should you reuse?" ”

Xie Chongning has already served as the secretary of Dali Temple at a young age, appointed by the emperor, no matter what he does, he has the emperor's support behind him, isn't this a reuse?

"He's just a pawn of the emperor against the cabinet." Mu Heyun groaned and continued, "If the emperor is caught by the cabinet, he is a substitute for the dead ghost. ”

Mu Yu pursed her lips, the affairs in the court are changing rapidly, step by step, she can know the danger, "So in order to keep the Luanping Marquis Mansion, I shouldn't have gotten too close to him, right?" ”

Mu Heyun knew what his daughter was guilty about, "The matter of giving marriage, if you can delay it, your father will find a way for you." ”

In Mu Heyun's answer, Mu Yu actually heard a trace of affirmation, but the holy decree has been issued, can his father still take him to resist the decree? "Father, I know that you have always been a neutral faction in the court, but I want to ask you, which side do you prefer in your heart?"

The rumor has been in the boudoir, and he still knows some things about the DPRK? Mu Heyun suddenly became interested and asked rhetorically, "Then what does the rumor think that the father should lean more towards?" ”

This is really embarrassing Mu Ruan, she shook her head helplessly, "I don't know about the rumor, but just based on the people and things I have come into contact with, I think the cabinet system is chaotic, if the cabinet covers the sky with one hand in the court, the people may not have a good life." ”

"Hahaha." Listening to her opinion, Mu Heyun laughed twice, "My son has a chance." ”

"This is just my superficial understanding, and I can't afford such praise from my father." Mu Yu lightly opened his lips, and the atmosphere between the father and daughter was no longer depressed just now.

"As a father, I also feel that the cabinet can't afford to be in charge." Mu Heyun said softly.

"Then my father supports the emperor?"

Mu Heyun didn't answer her question, "In short, remember that safety is the most important thing on this trip, and you wear this jade plate on your body." ”

"Jade?" Mu Yu took the jade plate given to him by his father, put it in his palm and looked at it, this brand is green and transparent, the carving on the brand is very simple, and the birds and birds that have been unknown look pleasing to the eye. "Why did my father give me the jade plate?"

"Keep you safe." Mu Heyun replied softly.

She thought there was some mystery in this jade plate, but it turned out to be a brand to bless peace, but in order not to worry her father, she was still careful not to use the jade plate on her waist, "Since my father said to bless peace, then I will always wear it on my body, what do you think?" ”

"Wear it, don't take it off."

Mu Yu was only regarded as a consolation in his father's heart, and he didn't take it too seriously.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the trip, and a large group of people from the Luanping Marquis Mansion stood at the door, reluctantly bidding farewell to Mu Yu, and a pair of worried eyes gathered on her, and the pressure was huge.

"Mother, I'm just traveling with the county lord, and the moon will come, don't worry." Mu Yu took Shen Mei's hand and couldn't stop comforting. "That's the King of Anping, the Lord of Fufeng, the emperor's favorite two, there will definitely be no danger on this trip."

Although she said that, Shen Mei also knew, but her daughter had never been far away, could she not worry? "Rumor, you must take care of yourself."

If Mu Yi didn't have a public office, he would really have to follow his sister and go with him.

"Mother, I'm going out to play, you're so worried, I'm going to miss you all the way." Mu Yu hugged Shen Mei with his backhand, and rubbed it intimately on his mother's neck, the tip of his nose was the faint fragrance of flowers on his mother's body.

Shen Mei choked slightly, and patted Yu'er's back, "Take care of yourself." ”

The two didn't get close for long, a carriage appeared at the door of the Luanping Marquis Mansion, the carriage was simply decorated outside, the wheels were wide, it seemed that it was prepared for a long distance, Mu Yu said goodbye to his parents and eldest brother, but at the last moment of boarding the carriage, he saw a dark red corner of clothes at the door.

When she said that she was leaving, the old lady only casually said "pay attention to safety", and did not say much else.

In fact, Mu Yu didn't look forward to the arrival of the old lady very much, but he didn't expect this duplicitous old child to secretly come to the door to bid farewell to him.

"Let's go." Mu Yu only took Biyue alone, and the trip can be said to be extremely simple.

The four of them met at the city gate, Xie Chongning and Qin Xu each rode two jujube red horses, Mu Yu greeted them, and his eyes wandered to find the figure of the county lord.

In the end, the status of the county lord is higher than herself, she should have seen the county lord first, she got off the carriage with Biyue's support, and then asked Qin Xu, "Hasn't the county lord of Fufeng arrived yet?" ”

"That girl has always been slow, and we have been waiting." Qin Xu also jumped off the horse, walked to the shadow of the wall, and lazily leaned on the edge of the city wall, "I thought that Miss Mu would not agree to this trip." ”

In fact, if it was just a simple trip, Mu Yudao was not very interested, because she knew the purpose of the detective from Xie Chongning's mouth, so she thought about it and came with her.

This trip may be dangerous, but she longs for this kind of small adventure in her heart, "I have never left the capital, and it is a great honor to have the opportunity to go out with the county lord and the county lord." ”

Qin Xu laughed heartily, "Haha, my sister, her mind is not so simple." ”

Is this a side knock from Qin Xu? "Why did the county king say that?"

Qin Xu glanced at Xie Chongning, who was standing coldly on the side of the horse, and deliberately lowered his voice, "It's not Lord Xie's rotten peach blossom yet." ”

Saying that his sister is a rotten peach blossom is a bit ...... Mu Yu pulled out a smile in embarrassment, "The county king is a little exaggerated." ”

"It's not an exaggeration, my sister is arrogant and arrogant, and she still likes Lord Xie, you see it, don't hide it." I don't know if it's out of kindness or out of the psychology of watching the play, Qin Xu reminded.

The two of them stood in the shadows and whispered, Xie Chongning stood alone in the hot sun and stood tall like a pine, for some reason, Mu Yu always felt that his handsome face was a little resentful.
