Ah Ci's jade lock!

Mu Yan's eyes naturally appeared in front of Duanmufei's little face, and his right hand clenched the handle of the fan in his hand again.

Mu Yan's dark eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "What is that jade lock like?" ”

"Smaller than a baby's fist, with a carved Goddess of Mercy on it and a willow leaf pattern engraved on the edge." Chu Qingyu tried to recall and describe two sentences.

Cen Yin raised his hand and made a gesture, and the little scorpion immediately understood, and asked people to fetch pen and ink and a long table.

"Draw!"

The little scorpion put the wolf pen on the table and said to Chu Qing in a cold voice.

Chu Qing promised again and again, and his rough voice trembled slightly.

She stiffened herself from the ground and walked to the long table, and with trembling fingers she picked up the wolf pen, which trembled in her hand.

When the tip of the pen is stained with ink, the hand trembles, and the ink drips from the tip of the pen, leaving a shocking drop of ink on the rice paper.

Obviously, no one reprimanded, but Chu Qingyu still tightened his heart, for fear of angering the people in Dongchang.

She took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and quickly put down her pen and draw.

Chu Qingyu is the daughter of the Chu family, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it is not a problem to draw a jade lock, but at this moment she is tense, and it is inevitable that she will be a little stiff and slow when she puts down the pen.

After half a cup of tea, she finally drew the jade lock, put down the pen, took two steps back, and stood stiffly aside.

Originally, she was sitting on the ground and was still invisible, but now she stood there so straight, her white prison clothes were empty, and her body looked even more slender and skinny.

The little scorpion picked up the piece of drawing paper from the table, and after drying the ink, he respectfully presented it to Cen Yin.

Cen Yin just casually glanced at the drawing paper, and didn't even raise his eyebrows. In his opinion, the appearance of this jade lock is very ordinary, and the black ink line does not show the jade quality.

Mu Yan's eyes were slightly condensed, and he subconsciously picked up the painting.

It wasn't until he looked at this painting that he vaguely remembered that a few years ago, when he was five or six years old, he happened to see Chu Qingci, who was only eight years old at the time, and took out this jade lock to show Wuyang......

The picture in his memory became clearer and clearer, fixed on Chu Qingci's smiling face.

The corners of Mu Yan's lips curled slightly, his expression was focused and soft.

Chu Qingyu has been paying attention to the changes in Mu Yan's expression, her heart seems to be tormented on the fire, she is not good at hiding her emotions, and her expression shows a little jealousy and resentment.

Since she was reborn, she has done so much for Mu Yan, but Mu Yan seems to be lost in her mind and ignores her efforts.

In his previous life, he only had Chu Qingci in his heart; In this life, he only has Duanmu Scarlet in his eyes.

Mu Yan's single-mindedness, Mu Yan's honor and wealth do not belong to him!

What is the purpose of going back to this world again?

Chu Qingyu hated even more in her heart, in addition to hate, she was more confused, she no longer knew what she was living for.

When she was in a trance, she heard Mu Yan ask again: "Why is Chu Tingshu in northern Sichuan?" ”

Chu Qingyu came back to his senses and shook his head, "I don't know." ”

She was telling the truth, she was already married at that time, but when she returned to her parents' house, she heard her grandparents and mother mention a few words, because Chu Tingshu was dead, and after the Chu family's house was completely destroyed, this was a sad thing for the Chu family, and everyone in the Chu family didn't want to say much.

Mu Yan groaned for a moment, changed his angle and asked again: "Then where did the Chu family find that nurse in Longzhou?" What clues did she give for the Chu family to find northern Sichuan? ”

"I don't know." Chu Qingyu slowly shook his head again, and under the half-lowered eyes, his eyes flickered.

Mu Yan noticed it keenly, squinted his eyes, and his eyes became deep and dangerous.

Not only Mu Yan, but Cen Yin also found out.

Cen Yin didn't take Chu Qingyu in his eyes at all, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with Chu Qingyu, so he raised his hand and made another gesture with a faint expression.

Meaning, since she is disobedient, then "ask" well.

"Smack!"

The little scorpion simply high-fived twice.

In the next moment, two Dongchang fans immediately came in from outside the cell.

The tall and sturdy figures of the two made the small cell suddenly crowded, and even the light of the torches was blocked a lot, and the cell was suddenly darkened.

"......" Chu Qingyu was like a frightened bird, so frightened that he retreated several steps in a row, until he couldn't retreat anymore, his back was against the mottled and rough wall behind him, and his legs under his skirt trembled like chaff.

In the silence of the room, her teeth could almost be heard chattering.

The little scorpion pursed his lips disdainfully, just this sparrow dares to play tricks in front of the overseer, he really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead!

"I say! I say! Chu Qingyu immediately abandoned his weapon and surrendered, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he held his breath.

The two Dongchang fans stopped at the point where they were only three steps away from her, and their shadows shrouded her whole body.

"It's you." Chu Qingyu looked at Mu Yan and said in a trembling voice, "In the last life, it was you who found the Ma family, and it was your people who found Chu Tingshu's whereabouts in northern Sichuan. ”

Thinking about all the things in his previous life, Chu Qingyu only felt like yesterday, and his eyes were chaotic.

Regardless of his past or present life, Mu Yan was relentlessly looking for Chu Tingshu's whereabouts, and obviously many things were different...... However, there are many things that have gone down the same path.

The little scorpion waved his right hand, and the two Dongchang fans understood, and retreated one after the other.

Chu Qingyu was relieved, gasping for breath, and continued: "I actually don't know much, but I heard some ...... from my grandparents afterwards."

Back then, Mu Yan found Chu Tingshu's nurse Ma, and Ma confessed that outside Nankang City, Longzhou, she took Chu Tingshu penniless, and there were searches by Pu people everywhere, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she gave Chu Tingshu to a young woman.

Mu Yan later sent people to search around Nankang City, but after more than ten years, it was not so easy to investigate, and it took more than a month to find some clues. After that, Mu Yan traveled several places before finally finding Chu Tingshu's whereabouts, but in the end he was one step too late.

Chu Tingshu is dead!

Chu Qingyu clenched his fists, his cheeks tightened, "...... That's all I know, and I really don't know the details. ”

She didn't ask, and no one told her.

She only knew that in October next year, the Chu family held a funeral for Chu Tingshu, and at that time, Mu Yan also came, looking as sad as her grandparents.

At that time in his previous life, Mu Yan was just Feng Yan, the son of the eldest princess of Anping.

At that time, she wondered why her grandfather asked him to help the Chu family find Chu Tingshu, and she didn't understand why he was so sad.

It wasn't until Mu Yan ascended the throne as emperor and insisted on marrying Chu Qingci's tablet that she knew that everything Mu Yan did was because of Chu Qingci.

He went to great lengths to find Chu Tingshu not because of the Chu family's trust, but because he was sad and annoyed because he didn't help Chu Qingci find his younger brother.

At that time, she was envious and envious that Chu Qingci was obviously dead, but he had been living in another form, living in the hearts of his grandparents and in Mu Yan's heart......

Unlike her, who married her cousin and lived a mediocre life, in the eyes of outsiders, she was just Cheng Chu.

When she wakes up one day, she finds that she has returned to the past, and she wants to fight hard to change her destiny......

But how did it turn out like this?!

Which step was wrong, could it be that if she hadn't killed Chu Qingci in the first place, it would be a different situation now?!

Chu Qingyu's feet were soft, as if the strength of his body had been drained, his body slid down the rough wall, and he fell to the ground again.

She hugged her knees with her arms and shrunk into a ball, it was clear that it was August fever, but she felt cold all over her body, and her body couldn't stop shaking......

Mu Yan couldn't take care of Chu Qingyu for a long time, and his heart was so shocked that it seemed to set off a stormy wave.

If Xiao Tian is really Chu Tingshu.

So, is the young woman mentioned by the nurse Ma Shi the crazy Xiao Tianniang in the mouth of the human tooth?

"What else do you know about the young woman Mars spoke of?" Mu Yan asked.

"I don't know, I really don't know!" Chu Qingyu hugged his knees harder, his voice was slurred, and his whole person trembled even more, looking pitiful.

However, none of the people present had any pity for the jade and were unmoved.

Mu Yan said lightly: "Really? Do you want to think about it again, lest you forget something? ”

"I don't know. I know I've already said it......" Chu Qing muttered repeatedly.

Mu Yan's repeated questioning was like adding fuel to the fire, which made Chu Qingyu's emotions start to get out of control again, and he was frightened, angry, unwilling, and jealous.

She really didn't understand, Mu Yan obviously didn't like Chu Qingci, why was he still so interested in Chu Qingci's younger brother, why didn't he even look at herself......

Mu Yan opened the folding fan in his hand, slowly shook the folding fan, and pursed his thin lips.

The area around Nankang City in Longzhou is still a bit large, and I'm afraid it will take some time to find Ma's.

Still, he has patience.

Since he couldn't ask anything else from Chu Qingyu, Mu Yan didn't bother anymore, turned his head and nodded slightly at Cen Yin, meaning that after he finished asking, they could leave.

Cen Yin had come with Mu Yan, and he didn't have anything to ask, so he nodded and stood up almost at the same time as Mu Yan.

The movements of the two have been clear, and they intend to leave.

When Chu Qingyu saw that they were leaving, he was in a hurry, and for a moment he left all the fear, apprehension, and unwillingness in his heart, and rushed towards Mu Yanfei in a hurry, shouting in his mouth: "Don't go!" ”

How could the little scorpion let Chu Qingyu be presumptuous in front of Cen Yin, and kicked Chu Qingyu in the abdomen.

Chu Qing snorted, fell to the ground in embarrassment, and said excitedly:

"I know a lot about the future, trust me, I will be able to help you!"

"By the way, the third prince and the Xie family are colluding together, and they will have trouble soon."

"I also know about the West, the firecrackers and cannons of the West are far more powerful than our Dasheng!"

"And Beiyan, and Jinju...... I know all of this! ”

Chu Qingyu said several things in one go, wanting Mu Yan to see her value, wanting Mu Yan to know that he had underestimated her before, and wanting Mu Yan to understand that she was far more useful to him than Duanmu Fei.

Mu Yan glanced at Chu Qingyu lightly, and smiled with a smile on his lips, with a little ridicule and a little contempt.

"Do you really think what you know is valuable?" Mu Yan looked at Chu Qingyu condescendingly, breaking her illusions, "Mu Youjing is dead, how can he still do something?!" ”

What the?! Chu Qingyu's eyes widened in disbelief, his dry and flaky mouth opened slightly, and he muttered, "Impossible, impossible...... "How could the third prince die!"

It was as if all her strength had been drained away at once, and she collapsed into a puddle of mud.

Mu Yan sneered softly, his sharp gaze seemed to penetrate Chu Qingyu's appearance, and said, "What if you live again!" ”

With her brain, even if she is reborn a hundred times, it is useless!

Before the words fell, Mu Yan had already turned around and walked out of the cell, without giving Chu Qingyu another look.

Cen Yin looked at Mu Yan's back, his eyes flashing slightly. He is a smart person, he can hear the meaning of Mu Yan's words, not to mention anything else, Mu Yan obviously believes Chu Qingyu's words seven or eight points.

After the two went out, the little scorpion followed them out of the cell, and the lantern was taken away by him, and the cell without light fell into darkness.

"Squeak", the door of the cell closed again, and then the sound of locking sounded, Chu Qingyu sat there motionless as if he had not heard it, as if he was enchanted, and his mouth was still muttering repeatedly: "Impossible, impossible ......"

Mu Yan and Cen Yin walked unhurriedly towards the entrance of the dungeon along the same path, silent all the way.

At this time, it was just the beginning of Shen, the sun outside was scorching, coming out of the dark dungeon, the dazzling sunlight pierced his eyes, Mu Yan only felt a sour eye socket, and squinted.

Mu Yan stopped at the edge of the shade, his body half in the shade and half in the sun, making him seem noble and arrogant, cold and detached, and so out of reach.

Cen Yin walked to Mu Yan's side and stood side by side with him, both of them tilting their heads slightly, looking ahead.

The canopy above the two of them swayed, quiet and peaceful.

Cen Yin stood with his hands behind his back, and suddenly said: "It's hard to say whether the reliving life is true or not, the important thing is now." ”

"I know." Mu Yan turned his head to look at Cen Yin, and smiled slightly, his smile bright.

As soon as he smiled, his whole body was dyed with the breath of sunshine, revealing a kind of wanton flying.

"Big brother, I'm not stupid."

He is not stupid, of course he can hear it, Chu Qingyu just said that when he liked Chu Qingci in his previous life, after all, every word has a provocative element, on the one hand, he praised Chu Qingci to the clouds, and on the other hand, he reduced Duanmu Fei to the dust.

He didn't understand why Chu Qingyu did this, but at least he could see that she was trying to provoke herself and Duanmufei, wanting him to feel sorry for Duanmufei and leaving a thorn in his heart.

Obviously, she is uneasy and kind, and she is hurting others and herself.

This woman is so stupid and selfish!

Mu Yan's eyes flashed, and the corners of his lips curled higher, outlining a disapproving arc.

He comfortably fanned the folding fan in his hand again, and said with a smile: "Big brother, what the last life was like, it has nothing to do with me, this life belongs to me." ”

Whether the previous life existed or not did not matter to him at all.

In the previous life without Ah Ci, he didn't want to think about it at all, and now he has Ah Ci, which is better than anything and more important than anything!

Another breeze blew, and the surrounding flowers and trees danced, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

"If only you understood." Cen Yin smiled with relief, raised his hand and patted Mu Yan's shoulder.

Cen Yin also understood Chu Qingyu's provocation.

He could see that Mu Yan seemed to believe Chu Qingyu's remarks about reliving a lifetime, even if most of the things that Chu Qingyu foresaw were outrageously wrong......

Cen vaguely felt that it should be some reason that Mu Yan chose to believe Chu Qingyu, but since Mu Yan didn't plan to say it, Cen Yin didn't plan to ask.

What he was afraid of was that Mu Yan would drill the horns, after all, the eldest girl of the Chu family had been dead for several years.

People can't be resurrected after death, what kind of person is Chu Qingci, or if Mu Yan meets Chu Qingci first, will he have no relationship with Duanmu Fei because of this, these can only become meaningless assumptions.

You can't let Mu Yan and the little girl centrifuge because of Chu Qingyu's whimsical nonsense.

Seeing that Mu Yan could see it clearly, Cen Yin had reached the point, so he didn't say much.

After a pause, Mu Yan said again: "Big brother, I still want to bother you to help me find the nurse Ma." ”

Cen Yin simply responded.

Since Mu Yan is so concerned about Chu Tingshu's affairs, then continue to look for it, anyway, it is just a matter of spending some manpower and time to find someone.

Thinking back to what Chu Qingyu said, Mu Yan's mind was still a little confused, and an impulse rose in his heart, wanting to go to Duanmu Fei now, wanting to see her immediately.

Calculate the time, at this time, Zhen Zhen should also go back from the Jinjun Palace.

Thinking of Duanmu Fei, Mu Yan's mood became excited, and he said goodbye to Cen Yin with a smile: "Big brother, then I'll go first." ”

Before the words fell, Mu Yan ran away and eagerly rode his horse away from the East Factory.

From his arrival at Dongchang this morning, to the fact that he and Cen Yin went to Jinjun Wangfu together, and then to their return to Dongchang again at noon...... This scene was seen by many well-intentioned people, and they all speculated about the purpose of these two masters going to the Jinjun Wangfu today.

Mu Yan didn't notice this, or rather, he didn't care at all, and went straight from Dongchang to Quanyu Street.

Mu Yan skillfully climbed over the wall and entered Duanmu Mansion, and the mansion was quiet, only the remnants of the cicadas in early autumn hissed.

He avoided people's eyes all the way, climbed over eight or nine walls and came to the backyard of Zhanqing Courtyard.

Well, he's in luck!

Mu Yan, who was squatting on the wall, looked down at the courtyard below, and his eyes narrowed with a smile.

Duanmu Fei has indeed returned, and at this moment she is pruning a pot of evergreen in the courtyard.

The girl under the osmanthus tree changed into a pink skirt, standing gracefully, and her slender back was as elegant as an orchid.

Just looking at her back like this, Mu Yan's heart calmed down.

He crouched at the top of the wall for a moment, jumping gracefully off the wall like a big cat, his shoes making a slight noise on the fallen leaves.

Duanmu Fei put down the scissors and turned his head to look over, and the moment he saw Mu Yan, his little face smiled.

"Ah Yan!"

A breeze blew, blowing the golden osmanthus next to it swaying, and the light yellow flowers were sprinkled like rain, and the fragrant cinnamon fragrance filled the air......

Mu Yan stepped forward in three steps and two steps, hugged Duanmu Fei's slender waist, hugged her tightly in his arms, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled.

"Rustling ......"

The wind gently brushed in his ears, sending the scent of her body into the tip of his nose.

Sweet, warm.

His blood warmed up little by little, and his heart seemed to be soaked in a honey pot, and his heart rippled round and round......

She's warm, she's alive!

His resignation is still there, and his Zhenzhen is still there, it's good.

"Ah Yan?" Duanmu Fei was held by him, looking up at him in his arms, feeling that something was wrong with him.

With Mu Yan's skills, if he wanted to steal chickens and dogs, how could he be discovered by himself, he was clearly intentional.

"I miss you!"

Mu Yan said confidently, as if he had completely forgotten that they had just met in the morning.

He lowered his eyes and stared at Duanmu's little face, the faces of the two were close at hand, and in the fine sunlight, her long and thick eyelashes were so clear that they could be counted, and the eyelashes flickered and cast a faint shadow on her fair cheeks.

The skin is as delicate as jade, like a delicate jade doll.

His fur is so beautiful, so beautiful that he can't take his eyes off it.

Mu Yan stared at her without blinking, his eyes looked at her as hot as the sun, his hands moved up from her slender waist, holding her face affectionately, as if he wanted to engrave her face deeply in his eyes and heart.

His exhalation sprayed her cheeks affectionately, his calloused fingertips rubbing against her skin...... She could clearly feel the warmth and strength of his fingers, his breath clean and fresh, with a little incense from his clothes, lingering between the two of them.

Duanmu Fei felt that the roots of his ears were slightly hot.

Her reaction was to bury her head directly into Mu Yan's arms, and then, with her arms, wrapped around his waist, tightly.

Mu Yan bowed her head slightly, and leaned her face closer to the top of her hair.

The two of them were so close that he could clearly see that the roots of her ears were red, and the delicate color of flower petals spread from the base of her ears to her chin and neck, and to the collar......

Whew-

Mu Yan's breath burned again, and his whole body burned like fire......

A feeling of happiness, comfort, and contentment permeated my heart, and my heart pounded like a drum.

His eyebrows were stretched, his expression relaxed, and there was joy and sweetness between his eyebrows.

The most important thing is that he has Zhen Zhen in his heart, and Zhen Zhen also has him in his heart!

Until he came out of Duanmu Mansion, Mu Yan's feet were still as light as clouds and mist, and the corners of his mouth were grinning uncontrollably, looking stupid.

The sun had just set halfway, thinking that it would not be too early anyway, Mu Yan simply returned to the princess's mansion directly.

After getting off the horse at Yimen, Mu Yan's soul returned to his place, remembered a person, and asked the chief butler to ask, "How is Xiao Tian doing these days?" ”

The chief housekeeper knew that Xiao Tian was a distinguished guest, so he didn't dare to slack off, and he kept paying attention to his movements, and immediately replied: "Childe, Xiao Gongzi hasn't gone out for the past few days, and today he just walked around the yard and garden, delicious and delicious." ”

Mu Yan looked towards the courtyard where Xiao Tian lived, and wanted to go to him, but finally gave up.

With Xiao Tian's suspicions, I'm afraid that even if he really has a jade lock, he won't admit it, and even he will wonder if he deliberately made up a story to coax him to agree to Zhao'an.

That boy, if you want him to let down his guard, you have to come up with some real evidence.

Otherwise, maybe he would not even care about his shoulder injury and simply run away.

With Xiao Tian's skills, unless he is imprisoned as a felon, it is not easy to keep people in check.

To tell the truth, it is not difficult to lock up Xiao Tian, the problem is that if Xiao Tian is really Chu Tingshu, then naturally he can't be treated as a prisoner.

This is probably the concern is chaos.

Mu Yan sighed silently, and said in his heart: Brother-in-law is embarrassed!

For the sake of his future brother-in-law, he had to spend more time.

"......" The chief housekeeper also vaguely heard that it had been an eventful time in the court recently, and thought that Mu Yan was worried about it, and his face showed a little desire to say something, and he wanted to comfort Mu Yan a few words, but thinking that Mu Yan had been acting casually in front of An Ping, he didn't seem to be able to break the words.

The chief butler gave a worried look to Luofeng on the side, which means, you have to share your son's worries!

"......" Luo Feng looked at the big butler with an inexplicable expression.

In the next few days, the chief housekeeper has been paying close attention to the movements in the court, knowing that those courtiers are still making trouble, and the courtiers who have asked for leave continue to close their doors, looking like "Mu Yan bows his head and gives an explanation".

But soon, someone noticed that King Jinjun had actually canceled his leave, and he began to go up and down on time in a regular manner, and he didn't dare to be lazy at all.
