Hua Zhuyue had already sat there, a touch of lake blue bandeau skirt and warm red decoration in the room formed a vivid color difference, and the beige brocade curtain that passed by her shoulders made her already white neck and shoulders look as moving as congealed cream.

"Childe ...... today. It's late. There is a hint of laziness in the delicate voice, the willow eyebrows of the flowers are slightly provoked, and the seductive Danfeng eyes blink inadvertently, and the flirtatious people throb.

"I see pity" is Mu Zhixun's true inner monologue when he saw Hua Zhuyue for the first time before.

He liked the title "Childe", no one had ever called him that, and since the first time they met, he began to enter her world.

That is, after that day, except for King Chang, there were no other guests in front of the door of Hua Zhuyue.

"Why don't you change some other flowers? Don't you get tired of this kind of time? Mu Zhixun walked slowly to the window, pretending to play with the emerald green and white Jiuli incense, in order to calm the turmoil in his heart, although they are not the first acquaintance, but Mu Zhixun is still hindered by his identity, and he is never willing to lose his royal demeanor in front of her, so that every time he spends month by month to break through his defense.

"Don't you like it?" Hua Zhuyue slowly got up and hugged Mu Zhixun's neck, and the hot and humid breath tore around his ears.

"As long as you like...... The king likes it. Mu Zhixun gently held the hand that Hua Zhuyue put around his neck.

When this sentence came out of Mu Zhixun's mouth, which Hua had heard countless times month by month, there was a subtle wry smile on the corner of her mouth, she slowly withdrew the arm on Mu Zhixun's shoulder, and complained while stroking the flowers and leaves: "Jiulixiang, also known as Qianlixiang, Wanlixiang, but even if it is fragrant, in the end, it can't even fall into the name of a flower, it is neither as noble as the peony flower, nor as fresh as the hibiscus flower. ”

Although Mu Zhixun didn't know why she suddenly became sentimental, he could at least hear the meaning of these words, and when he was about to persuade him, he heard a noise outside the room, mixed with some screams and scolding. As the sound gets closer, the more clearly it is heard.

"Official! Official! Can't break through...... I can't break in! The steward's pleading tone already revealed a bit of crying.

"Cheap thing! The Imperial City Division investigates the case and dares to stop it! ”

Hearing the words "Imperial City Division", Mu Zhixun frowned slightly, the Imperial City Division is a subordinate agency of the Imperial City Division, and it is a special agency responsible for reviewing courtiers. Why did you go to the Qinglou to investigate the case today, could it be that the officials who visited the Qinglou were arrested? Just as he was wondering, the door was kicked open.

The moment he saw Mu Zhixun, the captain of the Imperial City Division was directly stunned, he never expected that His Royal Highness King Chang, whom he had just seen in the North Palace half a day ago, would appear in the Qinglou at this moment. When a small low-ranking lieutenant broke into the fragrant world of His Royal Highness King Chang in such a rude and rude way, the expression on his face changed from trance to shock, and finally to horror, "Little ...... The little one, I have seen His Highness. In a panic, the salute of kneeling on one knee turned out to be a salute of kneeling on both knees, and when he raised his head again, he clearly saw the killing intent in Mu Zhixun's eyes.

"Just heard...... You want to handle the case," Mu Zhixun narrowed his eyes, "Are you going to handle this king?" Yes! Mu Zhixun raised his voice and looked angry.

"Don't dare...... Don't dare, little ...... The little one was ordered by the palace marshal to come to Yunujiao to arrest the remnants of the traitor and ...... There is no intention of colliding with His Highness! The lieutenant's knees were shaking.

"Huh! Joke, did the dignified Daning Imperial City Division go to the Qinglou to catch the rebellion? Mu Zhixun tilted his head and forced a smile, "Okay, you tell me who the girl here is rebellious." ”

The lieutenant slowly raised his head and said as if he had made a lot of determination, "Flower...... Flowers month by month. ”

"Presumptuous!" As soon as the captain said this name, he slapped Mu Zhixun firmly, Mu Zhixun was already disgusted with the style of the Imperial City Division to be implicated in handling cases at will, but now it was on his own head, and his heart was naturally angry.

This slap completely stunned the captain of the Imperial City Division, he was just a small low-level captain, he offended His Royal Highness King Chang, he couldn't even save his life, what kind of errand, "Your Highness, stop your anger...... Rest your anger! The little one was also ordered to arrest people. This...... You can't blame the little ones. ”

"Get out!" Mu Zhixun waved his sleeves, "Go back and tell Zheng Guan that if you want to catch the rebels, come to Chang Wangfu!" ”

"Yes...... Be. After the people of the Imperial City Division buckled their heads, they ran out with a rolling belt.

After calming down slightly, Mu Zhixun closed the door of the room, and when he saw Hua Zhuyue drinking the tea on the table casually, he immediately became proud of his hero's behavior of saving beauty.

He smiled and walked over to Hua Zhuyue's side, his hands gently resting on her shoulders, "Don't be afraid, these undisciplined dogs. has always liked to bite people, and this king just taught them a lesson for his father. ”

Hua Zhuyue put down the porcelain cup in her hand and smiled slightly, she raised her head and looked at Mu Zhixun meaningfully, "What if I tell Childe that they didn't bite the wrong person this time?" ”

"If a beautiful woman like you is a rebel remnant, then this king hopes that there will be a few more such rebels, dare to ask which one of the beauties is the rebellious queen?" Mu Zhixun closed his eyes and sniffed the freshness of the flowers month by month.

"Childe, Daning Dynasty...... Is there a second one of the rebels surnamed Hua? Hua said this coldly, and her eyes, which had always been warm, were full of coldness.

"What!" Mu Zhixun looked shocked, but then said calmly, "Impossible, Hua Chenghei has already been punished by the Nine Clans." ”

“…… But his daughter is still alive. "The eyes of the danfeng that are flowering by the moon look extremely ghostly, and the expression on his face is indescribable." ...... who died that year She is the daughter of the housekeeper of the Flower House. ”

"You ......" Mu Zhixun looked at her in disbelief.

"That's right, I am the daughter of Hua Chenghei, the envoy of the Dongyuan Army...... The remnants of the traitors. Hua Zhuyue said coldly, "Childe, do you know that the people from the Imperial City Division came to arrest me today, why didn't they bring His Majesty's will?" ”

“…… Why? Hua Zhuyue's confession stunned Mu Zhixun.

"Because Zheng Guan will not let me meet His Majesty." Hua Zhuyue said coldly, "Do you still remember the ancestor worship in the suburbs of Beijing that was canceled in the spring of Chengping's nineteenth year?" ”

"Of course, I remember that every spring, this dynasty will go to the emperor's mausoleum on the outskirts of Beijing to hold a ceremony to worship ancestors, but it was not held that year." Mu Zhixun recalled, "I remember that the night before preparing to worship the ancestors, my father suddenly fell ill, so serious that my father had even begun to dictate the edict to designate the ministers of Tuogu, and in this case, the ancestor worship ceremony naturally could not be held." Later, it was Concubine Hui and the imperial doctor who guarded and treated her in front of the bed for three days and three nights, and her father's condition improved. However, the date of ancestor worship has passed, and it can only be held again the following year. ”

"Heaven does not die, Da Ning...... Your Majesty's sudden pain...... saved your entire royal family and the country of Daning. Hua Zhuyue smiled bitterly. Daning worships the ancestors, and has always been the deputy commander of the front division of the palace to go with Luan, and the commander of the envoy to stay in Yunjing. If I'm not mistaken...... In the nineteenth year of Chengping, Zheng Guan was only a deputy commander. ”

"What...... You mean Zheng Guan ......," Mu Zhining said in horror.

"Childe is really smart, ten years ago in the Dongyuan Rebellion, Zheng Guan was actually a participant. At that time, in order to ensure the success of the army, Hua Chengsi not only contacted the Ming Xinjiang State, but also thought about the Imperial Forest Army, but he knew that the commander at that time was a loyal and upright person, so he could only start from Zheng Guan, just in case, Hua Chengsi sent someone to secretly kidnap Zheng Guan's only wife and concubine as a bargaining chip. "Flower by the moon with deep eyes.

"What about Zheng Guan's reaction?" Mu Zhixun couldn't wait.

"Hmph." Hua Zhuyue suddenly sneered, "Of course he chose to stand on Hua Chenghe's side, and when your Mu royal family went to the outskirts of Beijing to worship your ancestors, the plan to slaughter all of you was proposed by Zheng Guan." At that time, there will be no owner in the world, Yunjing will be in chaos, and it will not be easy for the Dongyuan Army and hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ming Xinjiang Kingdom to enter Daning. ”

"But if that's the case, now that Zheng Guan has 100,000 imperial forest troops, why don't he rebel?" Mu Zhixun asked vigilantly.

"Gongzi still doesn't know Zheng Guan as a person, and it can be seen from his correspondence with Hua Chenghei that he never takes the slightest risk in doing things. Although he has 100,000 imperial forests in his hands, if he has been peaceful for a long time today, and rashly acts against the rebellion, how many percent of the 100,000 imperial forest troops can obey the order? Even if it succeeds, there are hundreds of thousands of troops outside the imperial court, the king of Beiyang, the Duke of An Guo, and the uncle Yan Bohou, which of them will sit idly by? ”

Mu Zhixun's expression was very complicated, and Hua Zhuyue's words made him speechless for a while.

At this time, she stood up, slowly walked to the window, gently stroked the flowers and leaves of Jiuli Xiang and continued, "Seeing that the opportunity was lost, Zheng Guan knelt directly in front of the palace and cried, and informed His Majesty of Hua Chenghe's rebellion and the death of his wife and concubine, but he hid the other half of the matter, but the ambitious Hua Chengji was already ready to send it, and the self-volunteering Zheng Guan deceived His Majesty's sympathy, and His Majesty put the 50,000 Imperial Forest Army plus the Xiang Army requisitioned from Zhennan Army and various places under his command. A rebel with a failed plan turned into a loyal servant who lost his wife and defended the country. ”

"Such a villain, my father really misjudged him!" Mu Zhixun hated and hated.

The bone-chilling and desolate sorrow rose in Hua Zhuyue's red eyes, "That was the only defeat of Hua Chenghe, but he gambled on the lives of hundreds of people in the Hua family, probably the ruthless Zheng Guan was afraid that after the rebel was escorted into Beijing, his affairs would be exposed, so they didn't even have a chance to enter Beijing for trial, so he ordered him to be beheaded on the spot...... On the eve of the defeat, Hua Chengsi said to me that he was sorry for all the Hua family, and he was to blame for such a fate, he just hated Zheng Guan, a two-faced villain, he was unwilling, and later Hua Chengsi gave me all the correspondence between him and Zheng Guan, and the housekeeper handed over his daughter who was the same age as me in order to repay Hua Chenghe's kindness in the shelter of Hua Chenghe...... He then committed suicide as well. ”

"So you came to Yunjing...... It's for revenge. Mu Zhixun looked at the flowers with complicated eyes.

"If you want to talk about enemies, the biggest enemy in my life is Hua Chenghei, the whole family of the Hua family was martyred because of his ambition, but he is dead, but Zheng Guan is still alive, this villain who killed me all over the house, he is the mastermind of this rebellion...... Shouldn't he be punished!? The flower complained month by month.

"So what are you going to do?

"I'm a woman who wants to go up to heaven and listen...... It's almost impossible, after being exiled to Yunjing, I came to Yunnujiao by mistake, but the reason why I stayed was because I knew...... This was the only opportunity I had to get in touch with the dignitaries. Hua Zhuyue's wry smile couldn't hide her disgust and unwillingness.

Mu Zhixun silently stared at the woman in front of him, and the picture she told appeared in his mind over and over again, thinking that he had simply met a wonderful woman, but unexpectedly involved a shocking secret behind the reverse case, restlessness and restlessness slowly spread like vines in his heart, intertwined into a ghostly pattern.

After a long time, he slowly spoke, "Give me those letters." ”

The expression of "Childe ......" is distressing.

"Since Zheng Guan has found out that you are still alive, he will not let you and the letter in your hand go no matter what...... Now I'm the only one who can help you. ”

In the middle of the moon, peach lanterns were hung all over the thirty-six heavens. Hua Zhuyue's fingers pressed lightly on the contract, and as she watched the beautiful fairies on the round platform dance her very familiar dance to the endless sound of pianos and bells and drums, she remembered the time when she had been beaten and bruised by the line dance......

Soon another high-profile Oiran will be born here, but it will only be the next Nine Mile Incense after all.

That night, Mu Zhixun spent a lot of money, and spent months getting rid of his nationality and becoming good.

In King Chang's Mansion, when Mu Zhixun saw the clearly visible handwriting and dark red and black handprints on the yellowed rice paper, a chill surged in his heart.

Mu Zhixun didn't guess wrong, Zheng Guan really came to Changwang's Mansion that night, different from the usual style in the past, this time he only brought a deputy general, and asked him to wait outside the mansion.

"Chen Zhengguan has seen His Royal Highness King Chang." Zheng Guan, who walked into the main hall, smiled slightly and saluted.

"Hey, it's so late, your palace marshal has also gone to the mansion in person, what are you doing, sit down." Mu Zhixun, who was sitting in the hall drinking tea, said politely with a smile on his face.

"Your Highness Xie, I can't hide it, the minister's late night visit is for the blessing and misfortune of His Highness." Zheng Guan sighed, looking embarrassed.

After hearing this, Mu Zhixun immediately said nervously, "...... Is this king in trouble? ”

"The stakes are very high, so the minister will get straight to the point." Zheng Guan locked his eyebrows, and said with a serious face, "The person Your Highness took back to the house is actually the daughter of the rebel minister Hua Chenghei, Your Highness should break off the relationship with her as soon as possible and hand it over to the minister to take back to the Imperial City Division." ”

"The palace marshal said that it was funny, there are thousands of flower surnames in the world, and if you don't have the surname flower, it has something to do with the flower heir, besides, wasn't the palace marshal at the scene when the execution was carried out? It's hard to see such a big flaw. Mu Zhixun fiddled with the lid of the cup, and blew away the rising heat as if nothing happened.

"This matter is also strange to the minister, because there were too many people involved back then, it was inevitable that there was something wrong, so over the years, the minister has been sending people to investigate whether there are still fish that have slipped through the net. Not long ago, the eyes of the Imperial City Division found the son of the housekeeper in Hua Chenghe's mansion near the Honghe River, and learned from him that Hua Chenghe's daughter was not only alive, but also came to Yunjing. ”

"Oh? There is such a thing. Mu Zhixun pretended to be surprised, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat in his heart, if he wasn't in Yunujiao today, wouldn't it be ......

"Absolutely." Zheng Guan kindly reminded again: "Your Majesty's attitude towards the rebel Your Highness should be very clear, the minister knows that Her Highness must have been deceived by her, Your Highness handed her over to me, and the minister should treat it as if nothing had happened." ”

"Yes, you can take people." Mu Zhixun nodded, paused slightly, and said, "But...... I'm going to deliver those letters to my father. ”

"What letter?" Zheng Guan wondered.

"Have you forgotten those letters with the handprints of your palace marshal?" Mu Zhixun raised his voice.

"Minister...... The minister didn't understand. Zheng Guan's voice trembled a little.

"Zheng Guan! You are guilty! Mu Zhixun suddenly stood up and scolded sharply, and the teacup in his hand was shattered by him.
