Chapter 20: Asking for Rewards
Mingran's body was extremely tired, and when she saw Mu Xu running in front of her from a distance with an angry face, she finally collapsed and was caught by Mu Xu.
Seeing her weak appearance, Mu Xu was very distressed, and his anger turned into nothing in an instant.
"Big brother, I'm sorry, I'm worried about you."
Mu Xu was angry and funny, daring to love her because she knew that she would blame her, and deliberately made this weak appearance to make her heart soft.
Seeing that she was unharmed, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and carried her to the camp.
Xiao Yiqian stood outside the tent, surrounded by people, everyone looked at the figure approaching from a distance, and when they saw Mu Xu returning with Ming Dye in his arms, everyone moved and left a way for Mu Xu to enter the tent.
Walking into the camp tent, Mu Xu put Ming Ran on the stool, and Lan Ling immediately stepped forward to check if there were any injuries on her body.
Everyone followed behind Xiao Yiqian and entered the account one after another.
The sky outside the tent gradually darkened, Ming Ran looked at the people who entered the tent, and sighed: "It seems that it is really as Muyang Second Brother said, I lost." ”
Xiao Yiqian smiled knowingly, and the people in the tent looked at each other and smiled.
"Why did Dye say she lost?" Xiao Yiqian walked up to her, waved his hand, and the two people outside the tent came in with bamboo baskets.
Mu Yang pointed to the prey inside and said, "This is all for the arrow hunting that you marked." ”
Mingran got up from the stool excitedly and limped over to the prey to inspect.
Mu Yang smiled and held Ming Ran's hand, and praised: "Except for Miss Guo who hunted a few flying geese, the rest were all hunted by you, you women are amazing, our group of men all returned empty-handed." ”
Ming Ran looked at these prey that did not belong to her own hunting, and her heart was extremely moved, she understood that it was her two brothers who hunted for her.
Guo Yuxi looked at Ming Ran and asked softly, "Where did Sister Ming Ran go today, why can't I find you in the forest?" ”
Ming Ran looked up embarrassed, and saw Xiao Yiqian also looking at her with a curious face, she thought for a while and said, "I went into a forest, got lost in it, and then ......."
She paused slightly, and then said, "Later, I walked for a long time before I came out." ”
Her words were clearly concealed.
Xiao Yiqian nodded slightly and said, "Fortunately, you found your way back, and it can be regarded as a thrill." Since you have the most prey, what reward do you want? ”
He walked over to the stool and sat down, looking at Ming Ran with a gentle smile on his face.
Ming Ran glanced at the people in the tent, "Can you bother everyone to go out first?" I want to ask the emperor privately for a reward. ”
Mu Xu and Mu Yang glanced at each other, although they were suspicious, they still nodded and lifted the curtain and walked out, and Guo Yuxi also led the maid out.
Lan Ling stood up at the door of the tent and bowed his head silently.
Seeing that the tent was empty, Ming Ran walked up to Xiao Yiqian and knelt down.
Xiao Yiqian didn't know why, and said with a puzzled face: "What are you doing here?" ”
Ming Ran leaned over and kowtowed, straightened up and said, "The emperor forgives the sin, what Ming Ran asked for today is to ask the emperor for justice." ”
Xiao Yiqian's eyes narrowed slightly, "Justice? What is the dye house? ”
Ming Ran pursed his lips and said, "I don't know if the emperor has heard rumors about the eldest princess?" ”
Xiao Yiqian was silent, and motioned for her to continue with his eyes.
"Regardless of whether the rumors of the eldest princess are true or not, it is a fact that the eldest princess poisoned Mrs. Su for her own selfish interests, and Ming Ran begged the emperor to severely punish the eldest princess and give Mrs. Su justice."
Xiao Yiqian asked, "Who is Mrs. Su?" ”
Ming Ran replied: "Supervising the Imperial History of the Su Mansion, last year it was the Su family that rescued me from the moat, just because I was the mother of the benefactor, on the night of the day I left the palace, I went to the Su family's mausoleum to open the coffin, and found that Mrs. Su was indeed killed by the soul." ”
"How do you know she's the Dead?"
Ming Ran lowered his head, "On that day, I invited Mr. Wufei from King Chen's side to go to the autopsy, and Mr. Wuzhi told me personally. ”
After Xiao Yiqian heard this, he asked in a cold voice, "How do you know that it is the poisonous hand of the eldest princess?" ”
Ming Ran looked up at him, "Your Majesty ......"
For a moment, Mingran didn't know how to answer. Did he tell him that he knew that the dead soul belonged to him to the eldest princess? Or do you know about the death of the colt?
She thought about it slightly and said, "Your Majesty, that day the prince of King Run also went to the tomb of Sufu, and it was nothing more than Mr. 's words, and the prince also listened." And now, rumors are spreading in the capital, and it is rumored that the eldest princess poisoned the concubine and Mrs. Su. ”
Ming Ran was sure that Xiao Yiqian had heard these rumors.
She is now telling him that the Runwang Mansion also knows about it, and the matter of the horse can no longer be hidden.
Xiao Yiqian got up and helped her up, and said, "The eldest princess is my aunt, give me some time, I will find out about this matter and give Mrs. Su justice." ”
Mingran stood up and smiled, then lowered his head again.
Xiao Yiqian stared at her, turned around and walked out of the tent with his hands in his hands.
Ming Ran looked at the empty tent, slightly worried in his heart, what did Xiao Yiqian's expression mean?
He clearly knew the rumors in the capital, so did he believe his words?
But she was just to help Miss Su investigate her mother's poisoning and death, if she knew about it early in the morning, it would be very implicated, and if she gave her ten more guts, she wouldn't dare to call An Xuqiao that day.
She sighed deeply and sat down on the stool in silence.
Mu Xu lifted the curtain and walked in, and looked at Ming Ran, "Prepare for the return trip, your feet are viable?" ”
Mingran nodded listlessly.
Mu Xu walked up to her and touched her forehead, "What's uncomfortable?" ”
Ming Ran looked up at him and shook his head, "Big brother, have you notified the Hou Mansion of today's matter?" ”
Mu Xu said: "I haven't had time to inform the Hou Mansion yet, but Mu Yang returned to the city to transfer people, presumably this matter has been passed on to the Hou Mansion." ”
Ming Ran got up from the stool, grabbed his wrist, and said, "I will see my grandfather today, and I will not return to the Hou Mansion." ”
It turned out that she would also be afraid of being scolded when she returned to the Hou Mansion.
Mu Xu smiled dotingly and gently pulled her out, "Okay, grandfather is looking forward to you." ”
Hundreds of people all the way back to the city.
Xiao Yiqian asked Xiao Yichen to come and walk with him, and the soldiers and secret guards behind him were all ten steps away.
Xiao Yiqian pulled the reins, looked ahead, and asked leisurely, "Are the people in the Runwang Mansion knowing?" ”
Xiao Yichen replied: "Yes, the recent rumors have come from the people of the Shen Mansion, and King Run should not be able to hold back his anger for long." ”
The corners of Xiao Yiqian's mouth hooked up a sneer, "He can't hold his breath for a long time." ”
He glanced sideways at Xiao Yichen, "Are there any changes in the people under you?" ”
Xiao Yichen smiled faintly and said meaningfully: "After all, they were Shen Xing's people before, and when they heard that the old master was poisoned, of course they would want to avenge the old master." ”
Xiao Yiqian laughed twice, and after stopping the laughter, he said, "Then arrange it and let people take the lead in joining King Run." ”
"Brother I understand."
He looked at Xiao Yichen, raised a meaningful smile, and asked, "Today's Miss Guo, what do you think?" ”
Xiao Yichen lowered his head and said respectfully: "The marriage of the younger brother is up to the imperial brother." ”
He chuckled lightly twice, and then remembered Mingran's words, "Do you think you have any doubts about Mingran in the forest?" ”
Xiao Yichen shook his head and said, "My brother also got lost in the forest when he was a child. ”
Xiao Yiqian nodded, waved the reins, and galloped up.
Xiao Yichen raised his head and looked at the departing back with an intriguing gaze.
