Lu Yue saw Qin Zixuan's expression of wanting to speak, and suddenly said, "Does Xuan'er have something to say to your aunt?" ”

Qin Zixuan lowered his eyes and said softly: "Father didn't let Xuan'er disturb my aunt's rest, saying that my aunt was sick, but Xuan'er looked at my aunt's ruddy face, but it was a lot rounder. ”

"Ahem, cough, cough" Lu Yue was suddenly choked and coughed, and Lu'er was also startled, and quickly poured Lu Yue a cup of tea, drank water, and patted her back.

It took Lu Yue for a while to stop coughing and blush.

Qin Zixuan looked like he had done something wrong, he kept his head low and didn't speak, Lu Yue laughed a few times, took Xuan'er's hand, and said kindly: "Xuan'er, is my aunt fat?" ”

"Auntie, don't be angry, Xuan'er just thinks that Auntie has a lot more food than before......"

Lu Yue suddenly thundered in the sky, and Xuan'er actually said that she ate too much.....

Lu'er snickered and was glared at by Lu Yue.

Lu Yue pulled Qin Zixuan and planned to have a good talk, "Xuan'er, your father is right, my aunt did have an illness, so I have to make up for it." ”

"Well, is that auntie feeling better now?" Qin Zixuan blinked.

Lu Yue nodded and pretended to say, "Xuan'er, auntie, this is fat. ”

"Poof" Lu'er couldn't help laughing, and when she saw Lu Yue glaring at her, she hurriedly turned her face and snickered.

Lu Yue ignored Lu'er, she reached out and nodded the tip of Qin Zixuan's little nose. "Do you understand?"

Qin Zixuan nodded half-knowingly.

"But my aunt will make you something to eat." Lu Yue pretended to threaten.

"Okay, auntie, Xuan'er knows." Qin Zixuan responded, staring at Lu Yue tightly with a pair of eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of Lu Yue's mouth.

Inside the study

Qin Mufeng was sitting at the desk, flipping through a book in his hand, when there was a knock on the door, and Xiao Liuzi said outside the door: "Lord Wang, it's time for dinner." ”

Qin Mufeng glanced at the wall behind the bookcase, and said in a deep voice, "Wait." ”

"Yes," Xiao Liuzi replied against the door.

Qin Mufeng listened to Xiao Liuzi's footsteps and left, only then turned another page of the book, and just lowered his head, he heard a strange sound coming from the wall, it turned out to be a secret door, the door opened, and came out in a black suit, with a full face beard, thick and dense, and a pair of jackal eyes.

This person is Qin Mufeng's right-hand man Chen Er.

He knelt down and said, "The prince has recruited." ”

Qin Mufeng closed the book, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Okay." ”

The two entered the secret room one after the other, only to see that there was a long passage into the secret room, and oil lamps hung on the walls on both sides.

The more you go inside, you can hear the sound of the water, Chen Er walked in front, turned around and went down the steps, this is the death row of the Qin Palace, few people know, this death row was found from the books left by his father after Qin Mufeng took over the Qin Palace, even his mother did not know that there would be such a place in this Qin Palace.

The two went down the steps, Qin Mufeng raised his feet and wanted to enter the cell, but was stopped by Chen Er and said: "Master don't enter, this cell is dirty, I am afraid of defiling the master's eyes." ”

Qin Mufeng's cold eyes glanced at Chen Er, and Chen Er obediently stepped out of the way.

As soon as he stepped into the cell, a foul smell came to his face, and he saw two wooden stakes on the opposite side with iron chains.

The two men had been tortured to the point that they did not look like human beings, their hair was scattered, their naked upper bodies were drenched in blood, there were whip marks, there was not a piece of good meat, and the ground under the feet of the two men was red, and the blood flowed into a small river.

"Ahh When one person saw Qin Mufeng coming in, he couldn't help but howl.

The man's eyes widened, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

"What's going on?" Qin Mufeng's brows furrowed slightly.

"A subordinate is derelict in his duties." Chen Er knelt down and said.

Qin Mufeng didn't say a word, took a step forward, and when he saw the blood on the corner of the man's mouth, he immediately understood, that person must have wanted to bite his tongue and kill himself, so he hurt his tongue.

"Find a doctor."

"Yes"

Qin Mufeng looked at the stains on the ground, stopped moving forward, and retreated to sit on the chair.

His gaze turned to another person, who saw Qin Mufeng looking over, his panicked eyes turned around, he shrunk back, his hands were tied to the wooden stake frame, trembling, bloody, it turned out that the nails on his ten fingers had actually been pulled out.

"Who are you principals?" Qin Mufeng said coldly.

The man glanced at Chen Er timidly, shrunk his fingers, and said in a low voice, "Yes.. Fangs. ”

"Fangs?" Qin Mufeng's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but think of someone in his mind, "Is it one eye?" ”

The man shook his head in fear.

Qin Mufeng pondered, then it was not the person who injured Lu Yue.

"What's his name?" Qin Mufeng's cold eyes stared at that person's eyes.

"The villain doesn't.. I don't know.." Blood flowed down the man's face.

Qin Mufeng's eyes became cold, and he glanced at Chen Er, Chen Er suddenly understood, picked up the whip from the rows of torture racks, and walked towards the man.

"Don't—" The man's face turned pale with fright, and his legs shook, and the sound of soothing sounded in the silent cell, and the smell of urine spread.

Qin Mufeng frowned, and a handkerchief in his arms covered his mouth and nose.

The man cried out in his mouth, "The adults spare their lives, but the villains really don't know..."

Chen Er sneered, threw down the whip, and changed another thing, the man couldn't wait to faint to death when he saw this instrument, and immediately stared at his remaining three toenails with a panicked face.

"I said... Say.."

The person next to him shouted loudly, Chen Er walked over directly and raised his hand, and the strange screamer suddenly fainted.

"It's a surname. Plum.. The name villain really doesn't know~" The man exhaled with a look of despair.

Qin Mufeng stopped talking, covered his mouth and nose and stood up, and Chen Er followed Qin Mufeng and walked out.

"Send someone to find out." Qin Mufeng turned his head and ordered Chen Er, and Chen Er nodded in agreement.

"Find another doctor."

Qin Mufeng left this sentence and turned his head to the steps.

"Yes" Chen Er respectfully followed behind, and the two of them walked out of the secret room.

As soon as Qin Mufeng came out of the study, he immediately instructed Xiao Liuzi to prepare hot water, and he wanted to take a bath.

He leaned against the barrel with a cold face, and waved his hand to signal the maids to retreat.

The door was closed, Qin Mu closed his eyes relaxedly, but his mind was considering the man's confession, they tracked down this underground smoke house all the way, and from time to time the clues were interrupted, someone must be making trouble behind his back.

If it is really as they said, the black hand behind this is the three princes, then the main thing must have been in contact with the three princes, and his surname is Li.

Who is it? Qin Mufeng pinched the bridge of his nose and frowned in thought.

The second day at dusk

Lu Yuezheng wrote a letter and stacked it several times, and was about to call Lu'er to send it out quickly.

As soon as she stepped out, she bumped into Qin Mufeng head-on, Qin Mufeng reached out to support Lu Yue's swaying body, her brows furrowed, "In such a hurry, where are you going?" ”

Lu Yue looked at Qin Mufeng, her eyes flashed, and she smiled wryly: "I.. Send a letter to my father. ”

She shook the envelope in her hand.

Qin Mufeng's eyes stared at the envelope, Lu Yue's heart instantly became furious, and she forced her breath and deliberately dissatisfied: "What? In the letter I wrote to my father, you want to try me like a prisoner? ”

Lu Yue pouted, turned around, and sulked.

Qin Mufeng was silent for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "No." ”

"Little Sixth Son" Qin Mufeng raised his voice.

The little six sons who were waiting outside the door came in and knelt down and said, "I've seen the prince and the princess." ”

Qin Mufeng's eyes turned to Lu Yue, "Let Xiao Liuzi send it." ”

Lu Yue suddenly secretly screamed in her heart, this is a letter to Li Hu, let Xiao Liuzi send it, isn't it exposed?

Last time, the two had a dispute over Li Hu in the cave, and now Qin Mufeng is so strict with her, I am afraid that Qin Mufeng has a bad heart about Li Hu's affairs.

Lu Yue waved the letter in her hand and said to Qin Mufeng: "Just send a letter, how can you let Xiao Liuzi run away?" Besides, the people of Lu Mansion were already waiting at the door. ”

Qin Mufeng glanced at Lu Yue with his eyes, nodded, no longer dwelled on this matter, and sat on the chair.

Lu Yue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, this Li Hu was saved by her, and she didn't want to trouble Qin Mufeng too much.

Lu Yue saw that Qin Mufeng was drinking tea under the service of Xiao Liuzi, so she immediately stepped outside the house in a few steps and handed the envelope to Lu'er.

Lu'er took the letter and went out of the courtyard.

Qin Mufeng looked at this scene and didn't speak, but gave Xiao Liuzi a look, and Xiao Liuzi bowed and retreated.

When Lu Yue entered the room and saw that Qin Mufeng was drinking tea wholeheartedly, she felt a little weak in her heart, "Have you had dinner?" ”

Qin Mufeng had already eaten at Old Madam Qin's place earlier, but looking at Lu Yue's face, he shook his head in a daze.

Lu Yue had no choice but to carry her skirt and go out to tell the maids to make some food for Qin Mufeng.

Qin Mufeng's gaze swept around the house, and when Lu Yue came back, he said, "Your house is a little remote, change the yard for you." ”

As soon as Lu Yue heard this, she immediately said, "Don't change it." ”

She just likes the remoteness of this yard, just no one comes to bother her, and besides, every grass and tree in this yard, every brick and tile is served by their own hands, this is all emotional, how can you say that you can change it?

But when she raised her eyes, she found that Qin Mufeng's face was slightly gloomy, as if she was unhappy.

Lu Yue was also very unhappy in her heart, but she didn't want to make Qin Mufeng unhappy.

She looked embarrassed: "I really like this courtyard, in fact, the palace is so big, the scenery is so beautiful, just take a few more steps." ”

What she meant was that she didn't dislike the remoteness of the yard at all.

"It's good, it's good, but it's inconvenient to get up early this morning..."Qin Mufeng looked at Lu Yue with burning eyes, and his eyes flashed with a touch of deep meaning.

When Lu Yue heard this, she was puzzled, get up early in the morning? Except for occasionally getting up early to greet Old Madam Qin, she doesn't need to get up early, and besides, her yard seems to be quite close to the old lady's yard.

Qin Mufeng looked at the suspicion in Lu Yue's eyes, and knew that what he said today was in vain, and Lu Yue didn't understand this matter at all.

What he meant was that Lu Yue moved in with him.

Lu Yue's head was stunned, and she was stunned by Qin Mufeng's cold eyes.

Qin Mufeng stood up and waved his sleeves and left, all in one go.

"Miss~" As soon as Lu'er entered the room, she found Lu Yue sitting at the table in a daze, and she looked around the room.

Only then did Lu Yue hug her arms and rub the goosebumps on her body, this Qin Mufeng's last glance was like a flying ice knife.
