Mu Yu listened to this child's words, and glanced at Xie Chongning with a wicked smile, didn't he just rush to die? "But I heard that this adult came to the south to investigate the epidemic."

"Now in this world, the people in this court can't be counted on." The child waved his hand angrily, "If you don't have anything else to ask, I'll go first, I still have a group of younger brothers and sisters waiting for me to find something to eat." ”

"A group of younger siblings? Are they all children? Mu Yu was stunned.

"That's right, because of this strange disease, all the adults in the village have died, and we are the only children left, I am the oldest, so I naturally have to take care of them."

The adults are sick and dead, but these children are still alive, is it possible that this epidemic also picks age? This was in ancient times, and there was no possibility of experimentation, and as for adults being more likely to get sick than children, it can only be said that this is a speculation.

"Where do you live?" There was only a group of children left, and making a living was really a problem, and if she could help, she would have to find a way to help these children.

But when it comes to where they are staying, the child becomes alarmed, "What are you asking for?" If you're curious about anything else, I can tell you, but you want to know where my siblings are, you can't be a human trafficker, right? ”

Mu Yu looked at him with a pair of eyes that looked like he was the same age, funny and distressed, the trafficker would say that he was a trafficker, "If I am a trafficker, can I still give you money?" ”

The child quietly weighed the weight of the silver in his hand, and believed what Mu Yu said, "Then what are you asking us to do where we live?" ”

"Naturally, I want to help you."

"Is there such a kind person in this world?"

"Of course there is, sister, I am." Mu Yu touched the child's hair, "How many children do you have, tomorrow night, I will bring you some food here." ”

The child got such a promise from Mu Yu, as if he had encountered a pie falling from the sky, and he was very happy, and trotted away.

But looking at the back of the child, Mu Yu sighed, and his heart was depressed, "It is difficult for this group of children to live in such a place, I met them, and I always wanted to help them, so I helped them." ”

Xie Chongning, who was in the dark, pursed his lips dotingly, "You have the final say." ”

Mu Yu laughed a little embarrassedly, "Actually, we also asked something useful, just now the kid said that the sick people in the city were all sent to the dungeon, so as long as we find the dungeon, we can find evidence that the Marquis of Guangping deceived us." ”

But if there really is a place like a dungeon, which exists specifically for the sick people, there must be a wailing in it at this time, and the people are not living.

This disease is contagious, as long as one of them gets sick, will the others still run away?

"But how are we going to find this dungeon? I don't know how much eyeliner this Guangping Hou has by our side, but whenever there is any movement on our side, he will know. Mu Yu said worriedly.

"Don't think about it, it's getting late, let's go back today." Finding a dungeon is indeed not an easy task, you can only take your time.

The two took advantage of the night to return to the Marquis of Guangping's mansion, Mu Yu tiptoed past the courtyard and returned to the house, no matter how it was, she tossed for a night, she naturally lay on the bed, leaving half of the place for Xie Chongning.

Xie Chongning lay quietly on the other side, silent throughout the whole process.

Obviously, the two of them have been "sharing the same bed" for a few days, but tonight's Mu Yu can't fall asleep over and over again, and I don't know if she is sleepy, or what, she is panicked, and this feeling is becoming more and more obvious.

Just as she was about to turn over again, a deep voice came from her ear, "Can't sleep?" ”

Mu Yu immediately restrained his back against the bed, not daring to move again, "Did I disturb you?" ”

Xie Chongning didn't answer her, and continued to ask, "Why don't you sleep?" Because of those kids, or the dungeon? ”

"Maybe both." Maybe neither...... In the second half of the sentence, she quietly added in her heart, "If you are sleepy, go to sleep first, I promise not to move." ”

"I'm not sleepy." Xie Chongning propped up his head unhurriedly, and looked at her sideways in the dark, "If you have something in your heart, tell me." ”

"You say...... How is the capital now? "It's been so long, and she hasn't known the current situation in the capital.

"The cabinet and the king of Anping County are fighting in secret and fighting for military power."

Sure enough, this king of Anping looked improper, and at this critical juncture, he revealed that he was a master who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger.

"Then you say, can the emperor's body be healed?" Although this secret discussion of royal affairs was a great rebellion in the eyes of the ancients, it could not stop Mu Yu's curious thoughts.

"It depends on whether the person who made the emperor sick wants to let the emperor get up." Xie Chongning chuckled.

Hearing this, Mu Yu turned over coldly and asked in a low voice, "So you also think that the emperor's illness is not simply sick?" ”

It seems that her guess is still not wrong, "Then the person who made the emperor sick, but the cabinet?" ”

In the darkness, Xie Chongning and Mu Yu glanced at each other and said lightly, "It's hard to say." ”

How is this hard to say? "Could it be that in this capital, in addition to the cabinet, there are still people who want the emperor to fall?"

Xie Chongning raised his eyebrows without hesitation, "Today's saint is ruthless, although he can't use iron-blooded means, he is by no means a person who can show affection. ”

"But since the emperor is ruthless, why has the cabinet been in charge of power?" She had never been in contact with the emperor, and naturally she didn't know what the emperor was, but when she saw the cabinet covering the sky with one hand in the court, she thought that the emperor was an indecisive person.

"The DPRK and China are not the only cabinet forces." Xie Chongning paused, "The cabinet is in charge of the government, and the major marquis are in charge of the military. ”

Therefore, the emperor not only has no power, but also has no soldiers, and is controlled by many forces in the court, so it is no wonder that the cabinet cannot be solved until now.

"So what you mean is that although the cabinet seems to be the dominant family in the DPRK, there are actually major marquis to contain each other, which can be regarded as a tripartite containment of each other, but if the cabinet is found out, then these marquis who hold the military power will not be easy to deal with?"

Xie Chongning nodded, "A little bit is thorough." ”

No wonder, it turns out that there are so many twists and turns, "But if this power is not unified, the Ming Dynasty will never be peaceful, and now the emperor has fallen again, this court, isn't it going to turn the sky upside down." ”

"It's going to turn the sky upside down." Xie Chongning said leisurely, obviously he is the sharpest knife in the emperor's hand, once the emperor has an accident, he will not be able to escape the pursuit of the cabinet and the marquis, but he seems to be out of the way, extremely calm.

"Then you ......" Mu Yu couldn't help but worry about Xie Chongning, "Isn't this cabinet going to embarrass you severely." ”

"So what?" Xie Chongning smiled coldly, "I joined the court as an official, just to know some things about the Xie family back then." ”

That's right, Xie Chongning said before that the reason why he would be loyal to the emperor was only because the emperor should help him find the enemy of the Xie family, "You think so, I'm afraid that the people in the cabinet will not let you go." ”

In outsiders, this Xie Chongning is the emperor's trump card, they have long been grasshoppers on a rope, the cabinet regards him as a thorn in the side, and he has amazing talent, how can he easily let him go.

"It also depends on whether they have the ability to do it." Xie Chongning didn't care.

Speaking of the emperor, she thought of Qin Xu, "What kind of person do you think, Qin Xu?" ”

Xie Chongning was silent, and asked in a cold tone, "What kind of person do you think he is?" ”

"After so many contacts with him, I think he is not a simple gentleman, and he is the only person who can rightfully inherit the throne so far, maybe ......"

She didn't continue to say the rest of the words, but Xie Chongning could also understand it, maybe after the emperor died, Qin Xu would be able to take over.

"If the emperor really has a case today, I won't care about the affairs of the court."

Mu Yu nodded, and also understood that Xie Chongning was doing things for the emperor, just to find out what happened to the Xie family back then, if the emperor died now, the agreement between the two of them would not be counted over there, he was not in the court, so he would naturally not stay in the court.

She took a deep breath and smiled slightly, "It's good." ”

"You don't like me to do things for the emperor either?" Xie Chongning heard her tone.

"Not really, it's just that after all, people who do things for the emperor don't have their waists around every day, and their lives are too unstable." What she was actually afraid of was not instability, but the ending of Xie Chongning that she remembered - the great minister of the Qing Dynasty.

Away from the government, there is naturally no possibility of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and a person as smart as him will not fall to such a depressed ending.

"Okay." Xie Chongning responded, and before Mu Yu could react, he pulled the quilt for her, "It's not early, hurry up and rest." ”

Mu Yu swallowed back the words before he could speak, followed Xie Chong's movements, pulled the quilt, and closed his eyes.

When she woke up the next day, the people around her were gone, only a small groove in the position, and even the residual heat was gone, which showed how long the person had been gone.

At breakfast time, Guangping Hou once again asked a few times, wanting to drive them away.

"There's no hurry." Xie Chongning calmly took a sip of rice porridge, "This epidemic has not continued to spread, and there is still enough time." ”

Zhang Wei raised her head slightly, and couldn't help but glance at Xie Chongning, so far, she naturally saw Xie Chongning's abnormality, he stayed in Yancheng, definitely for a purpose.

Guangping Hou breathed a sigh of relief in his chest, and he couldn't say how uncomfortable it was, "My lord, it's actually not that I have to drive you away, it's just that the epidemic in the south is serious, and you said that you were a day late, so I don't know how many people's lives there are, Master Wuchen thinks what I said is right?" ”

It seems that this Guangping Hou is really in a hurry, and he even asked for help from Wuchen, Mu Yu sipped his tea, trying to cover the corners of his mouth that he couldn't help but pick, it's a pity, Wuchen is also a person who knows their plan, so naturally he won't help Guangping Hou speak.

A smile flashed in Wuchen's indifferent eyes, "What Master Hou said is true, but Wuchen came with Lord Xie, and everything is subject to Lord Xie's arrangement." ”
