Chapter 82: The True and False Emperors
Then the two of them were ready to go back to the dormitory, and after a while, they found that the candles on the road had almost been extinguished.
Mu Liran grabbed Zhan Cangming's hand tightly and didn't let go, one was because in the dark, it was inevitable to be nervous, and there was a very important point, just now at the banquet, Mu Liran was a nymphomaniac, and he was handsome by Zhan Cangming's words and actions, so he didn't ask him.
Now, after reacting, I am naturally quite unhappy.
And Zhan Cangming just felt that Mu Liran was a little nervous, and he didn't know at all, and he couldn't realize that his daughter-in-law was jealous.
The two of them returned to the dormitory, because the meals at Zhan Cangming's banquet were given to Mu Liran, they didn't eat a few bites, and now they were a little hungry, so they wanted to ask the palace maid to prepare some meals to eat.
Zhan Cangming sat on the table, knocked on the table, and called, "Come on." β
The two little palace maids walked in and blessed their bodies, and said softly: "May I ask the prince and princess what they command." β
"It's okay, just serve two side dishes."
"Yes." After speaking, the little palace maid was about to turn around and go out, but was stopped by Zhan Cangming.
"Wait a minute, there's no need for a vigil tonight, you all rest early." Zhan Cangming wants to live a two-person world with Mu Liran.
"Yes." The palace maid was blessed and retreated.
Mu Liran's face was dark, and after watching the palace maid go out, he scolded Zhan Cangming without thinking about it: "Haven't you eaten yet?" There are so many things at the banquet, you eat for nothing? β
After this sentence was asked, Zhan Cangming looked confused, but, as a straight man of steel, the focus of Zhan Cangming's attention to this sentence was, who ate the things on this table? ?
"Lady, what did you eat for your husband?? Did the lady spit out the grape skin? β
Mu Liran was stunned for a moment, and sighed in his heart, it's over, he was embarrassed and thrown home, he finished sweeping the food of the two, and he was very full, thinking that it was indeed Zhan Cangming who didn't eat.
However, you can't lose face, you can't lose momentum: "I know what you eat?" Why didn't you know you were hungry when you held hands with the princess? Patronizing and holding hands. β
Zhan Cangming looked at Mu Liran's puffed up appearance, and reacted, oh, I see, his little lady finally relieved herself and began to be jealous, it's really cute.
As soon as Zhan Cangming was about to speak, Mu Liran began to scold him: "You, a big man, why are you so good-looking?" You can help out a peach blossom by holding someone by hand, you are really absolutely I tell you, just now I saw that you performed well, I was too lazy to care, but the princess grabbed you, you let him catch it, why are you so unconscious, when I eat, I didn't notice it, right? β
Zhan Cangming looked at Mu Liran's indignant look, resisted the urge to laugh out loud, looked at Mu Liran with a serious face, and said, "Don't make a sound, there are people." β
Mu Liran immediately stopped and looked around.
Someone? How can there be someone again? Could it be that Wen Sisi is back?
No, there is no dead air around, and more importantly, there is not even any life around, except for the breath of the two of them, there is no other breath, is the other party hiding the breath? That must be a master, and it will take some thought.
Mu Liran looked at the surrounding situation very carefully, and after looking at it for a while, he didn't find the person Zhan Cangming said, and just as he was about to turn around and ask, he was circled into his arms, Mu Liran just wanted to struggle, and found that it was Zhan Cangming, so he quieted down, with Zhan Cangming there, no matter how powerful the person was, he couldn't get close to her.
The two hugged each other for a while before Mu Liran cautiously asked, "What's the situation?" Where is that man? Why can't I feel his breath? Even if he is not a living person, but he has no dead air, is this person very tricky? β
Zhan Cangming didn't speak, nor did he move, Mu Liran moved slightly, wanting to pull out a hand.
"Don't move! Stay good. Feeling the small movements of the person in his arms, Zhan Cangming finally spoke, and said in Mu Liran's ear: "Are you nervous?" If you're scared, hold me tight. β
Mu Liran's face flushed, in fact, she was not afraid, but she was very relieved in Zhan Cangming's arms, someone helped to fight monsters and upgrade, why not do it.
However, he always felt that something was wrong, Mu Liran thought about it carefully, if there was really someone, Zhan Cangming would have found him out, and would he still hold her here and comfort her for so long?
Mu Liran's eyes and brain, which were bewitched by beauty, finally came to her senses, and finally realized that Zhan Cangming was lying to her and coaxing her to come over.
Mu Liran, who realized this, broke free from Zhan Cangming's embrace, it was really naΓ―ve, but she just ate this set.
Mu Liran smiled and patted Zhan Cangming's chest: "Are you naΓ―ve or not, how old are you, and you are still playing like this, why, you are holding the hand of the princess of the other family, and with a high-sounding word, do you want me to open this article?" β
Zhan Cangming knew that Mu Liran smiled, it was fine, but his wife still had to be supplied, so he grabbed her hand and pressed it on his chest: "Okay, lady, for the sake of the husband, for the sake of the meat, forgive me." β
Mu Liran snorted coldly: "For your sake, forgive you for being so sincere." β
The two of them were just about to sit down when they heard a noise outside, and the two of them frowned, because they heard something about the assassins in the palace, the princess was assassinated, and they didn't know what the situation was, and the assassins also set fire to the princess's bedchamber.
The two of them glanced at each other, and Mu Liran decided to inquire about the situation outside, tonight, the palace is afraid that it will not be able to live in peace.
Zhan Cangming stopped Mu Liran, who was about to rush out, and sat down according to Mu Liran: "Liran, wait a minute, don't you think there is something strange about this, now it is in the palace, the eldest princess is so favored, the eldest princess's bedroom must be heavily guarded, and the eldest princess can be assassinated in the palace, then it can only mean that the people in the palace did it themselves, or, it is simply fake news, deliberately making people think that the eldest princess was assassinated." β
Mu Liran calmed down and thought about it: "What you said makes some sense, but what is the purpose of them releasing this false news and setting fire to the dormitory?" Wouldn't this loss be a little too big? β
Zhan Cangming shook his head: "I don't know, at the moment, it is very likely that it is aimed at us." β
Mu Liran thought about it, the unexpected situation at the banquet, the eldest princess suddenly fell, since it was the princess who wanted to dance, it was impossible to have a problem with the clothes and trip the princess, and also, the emperor was too talkative, even if Zhan Cangming said that he could not refuse, but Zhan Cangming's tone was inevitably stiff, coupled with the lifeless Wen Sisi who he met on the way back, this string was indeed suspicious.
Zhan Cangming looked at Mu Liran's more and more serious face, knowing what Mu Liran had guessed, according to Mu Liran's character, since he had a little clue, he would definitely find out the root cause, not to mention, this matter may threaten the two of them, and it must be investigated.
Mu Liran looked at Zhan Cangming: "Let's go and investigate, this problem can't be ignored." β
Zhan Cangming nodded and walked out with Mu Liran.
It was still very noisy outside, and the crowd kept running in one direction, and they followed the direction of the crowd to find the princess's bedchamber.
The closer they got to the princess's bedchamber, the louder the noise became, and the sky-high flames could be seen far away, so that when they got to the back, they ran directly in the direction of the firelight.
All the way there were people who were busy carrying water, and from time to time there were people who bumped into Mu Liran and Zhan Cangming because they were too anxious, and after the two of them ran to the princess's bedroom, they were all wet and didn't pay much attention to it.
They looked at the sky-high firelight, and Mu Liran sighed in his heart, sure enough, the wooden building is ruthless enough, and it burns so spectacularly.
They grabbed a little eunuch passing by and asked, "Wait a minute, how is the eldest princess now?" β
The little eunuch was on fire and didn't want to speak, but looking at the silk and satin worn by these two people, the little eunuch replied patiently: "Back to the two nobles, the eldest princess is in the dormitory, the assassin ran away after injuring the eldest princess, and set fire to the dormitory, before we could rescue the eldest princess, the fire spread rapidly, and now the life and death of the eldest princess are unknown, the fire is too big, and we can't get in." β
Zhan Cangming's face darkened, and the matter was a little serious: "Okay, you go and put out the fire." β
Mu Liran glanced at Zhan Cangming heavily, and said: "This eldest princess, I'm afraid she won't survive, not to mention that this fire is so fierce that not a single fly can fly out, not to mention a pampered eldest princess, we don't know how much the eldest princess was injured by the assassin, whether it was fatal, we don't know." β
Mu Liran paused, and Zhan Cangming took Mu Liran's words: "We just listened to them talk about an assassin who injured the eldest princess and set fire to the palace, we also thought about it just now, this palace is heavily guarded, how can anyone enter the eldest princess's bedroom?" People like you and me have to be careful, if they are not as good as us, then how can they run away without alarming anyone? What's more, when he escaped, since someone saw it, it seems that he hasn't caught it yet, and there is definitely something wrong with it. β
Mu Liran raised his eyes to look at the palace, not knowing what he was thinking, and Zhan Cangming recalled everything that had just happened, and just when everything in his mind was about to be connected into a line, a black shadow passed by the two of them at a very fast speed.
Both of them were thinking about things at first, not noticing the situation around them, and only reacted when the dark shadow floated by.
The two people glanced at each other, and immediately chased after them, the breath of the black shadow was extremely light, and it passed by in a flash, and the speed was very fast, for a while, the two people didn't even see if the black shadow was a person.
However, after the two of them walked away for a while, the fire on this side gradually faded.
In front of the princess's hall, Emperor Mu Jinguo stood there, his face was gloomy, the princess didn't know whether she was alive or dead inside, the fire had been burning for so long, and the longer the time, the smaller the chance of the princess surviving.
