Yu Ruyan retracted her eyebrows and stood quietly beside Mu Lingzhi, her face calm and indifferent, not urging or hurrying.

Feeling that the burning eyes of everyone around him were gathered on him, Mu Ziyue's little face was pale, her moving apricot eyes were gray, her lips couldn't open her mouth after a few strokes, her nails were deeply pinched into her palms, and she wanted to pinch blood-

She bit her lip and couldn't open her mouth for a long time, Mu Ziyang on the side saw it, and she cherished her delicate sister very much, came forward to relieve her, took two steps forward and hugged Mu Lingzhi and said: "I disturbed His Highness's mansion today, and I also troubled Miss Xiaoqing, I'm really sorry, tomorrow I will prepare a generous gift to apologize to His Highness and Miss Xiaoqing, and please forgive Your Highness!" ”

Seeing this, Mu Ziyue also stepped forward like a weak willow in the wind and said pitifully: "Today's incident is too sudden, and my brother and I are also very ······ Please forgive your Highness! ”

Yu Ruyan smiled coldly in her heart, the brother and sister were really the same shameless, they had sworn that they were accomplices with the assassin and insisted on searching the room, but now the assassin didn't find it, so he pretended to be fine, and wanted to beat lightly in a few words.

Mu Lingzhi's heart was also cold, his face was gloomy and he said in a cold tone: "You don't owe me anything, so you don't need to ask for my forgiveness, but you owe Xiaoqing, I hope you can sincerely apologize to her and ask for her forgiveness." ”

Hearing this, Mu Ziyue's whole body froze, and Ying Yingxing's apricot eyes looked at the handsome man incredibly.

She was resentful in her heart, she blamed all her resentment against Mu Lingzhi on Yu Ruyan, and firmly believed in her heart that if she hadn't provoked their relationship in the middle, Mu Lingzhi would never have done this to her.

However, she never reflected on it, it was her conspiracy to hurt Yu Ruyan again and again that made Mu Lingzhi completely see her disguised true face, which chilled her and affected the relationship between them!

In Mu Ziyue's world, everything she does is taken for granted, not only how much harm is caused to others, but others should suffer, and if these injuries are inflicted on herself a little bit, she will be extremely resentful.

It's the same now, obviously she forced Yu Ruyan's room before, and openly suspected that she had colluded with the assassins, and promised that no one could be found to ask Yu Ruyan for guilt, but when it came to the end, she repented!

Mu Lingzhi looked at her with blazing eyes, and his eyes were firm and couldn't allow her to push back at all!

Mu Ziyue's whole body trembled like chaff, the eyes of the whole audience looked at her, she had nothing to hide, she looked at Mu Lingzhi with a frosty face in a daze, gritted her teeth and walked to Yu Ruyan and bent down-

"Miss Xiaoqing, I was too impulsive to offend you today, and I ask you to do a lot of things, don't worry about me!"

The bright lights illuminated Mu Ziyue's face pale. Yu Ruyan thought of the humiliation of Qin Xianglou, the suffering of the East Palace, the mass grave in the snowy night, and the unprovoked suffering of Brother An and Xiaodao. All of this made her can't help but teach the hypocritical and disgusting woman in front of her a good lesson, her teeth were sore and her teeth were sore, and the last reason made her put away the anger in her heart.

In front of everyone's eyes, she looked at Mu Ziyue, who was described as bleak in front of her, with a calm face, and said slowly: "I don't have to worry about Miss Mu, but I also ask Miss Mu to make it convenient and let my friend go!" ”

Mu Ziyue suddenly raised her head when she heard this, looked at her for a moment, her eyes were full of hatred, and she said coldly: "One yard is one yard, how can today's incident be confused with other things?" I sincerely apologize to you, what else do you want? ”

The assassin was not caught, and the game set up could not be resolved, and now Brother An is the last trump card in her hand to deal with Yu Ruyan, how can she be willing to hand it over easily!

I had long expected that she would not let go easily, Yu Ruyan smiled lightly: "Then I only ask Miss Mu, my friend is just a patient, she didn't know where to offend Miss You, so that Miss Mu spent all her efforts to arrest her?" ”

Without waiting for Mu Ziyue to reply, her cold eyes looked back at Mu Ziyue without showing weakness, and continued in a solemn tone: "Although Mu Fu is powerful, there is no reason to arrest people casually, let alone the rule of imprisoning people privately, am I right, Lord Wang?" ”

Lord Wang, who had been watching the excitement from the sidelines, was watching with relish, but he didn't expect Yu Ruyan's words to turn to him, and he was stunned for a while!

He didn't dare to offend the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he didn't dare to bend the law in front of the Third Highness, the Third Highness was notoriously strict in rules, so for a while, he really became Zhu Bajie and looked in the mirror and was not a person!

After grinding for a long time, seeing everyone looking at themselves in unison, even His Royal Highness the Third Highness put down the teacup and looked at him with great concern, a layer of cold sweat broke out in Lord Wang's palm, and he asked Mu Ziyue cautiously for a long time: "Dare to ask Miss Mu, what is the reason why your mansion arrested people?" ”

Mu Ziyue's cold eyes swept over Lord Wang and stopped at Yu Ruyan, and sneered: "A few months ago, my brother kindly took a woman into the mansion, but I didn't expect her to spend all her energy climbing into my brother's bed, but she was not perfect before, she was a very lowly military prostitute like you, how could such a lowly person stay in the mansion and stay by my brother's side?" ”

Mu Ziyue was bent on attacking Yu Ruyan, so the words he said were extremely vicious, and he also took into account Mu Lingzhi's face, and his face turned gray when he heard this.

Looking at the color revealed in her cruel eyes, Yu Ruyan smiled slightly, and even put on a serious look to listen to her continue, but the smile on her face did not reach the bottom of her eyes, her gloomy eyes were as cold as ice, and the hands under her sleeves were clenched into fists, and the green tendons burst out—

Brother An has always been reluctant to tell her who sold her into the Qinglou, and who made her abandon her after she became pregnant with a child, it turned out that all this was actually done by Mufu!

Now that she thinks about it, she doesn't want to tell herself, just because she is afraid that she will become an enemy of Mufu, just think about her current identity, where will she be the opponent of the powerful Prime Minister's Mansion?

In the final analysis, she endured the hatred in her heart because she was afraid that she was in danger!

The heart is bitter and unspeakable, and the endless hatred is like a frenzy attacking her one by one, thinking of the pain and injustice that Brother An has endured, Jade Ruyan gritted his silver teeth-

Mu Ziyue, Mu Ziyang, you wait well!

"So, just because of Brother An's background, and because she is not worthy of your young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you will sell her to Qin Xianglou!" Yuru's face was indifferent, but there was a chill in her eyes, and the monstrous anger and hatred in her heart were about to swallow her!

Mu Ziyang was stunned when he heard this, and looked back at Mu Ziyue in disbelief, the latter's expression changed greatly, panic flashed in Ying Yingxing's eyes, and she was about to make a quibble, but Yu Ruyan spoke coldly again-

"I didn't expect the dignified Prime Minister's Mansion to sell people into the Qinglou at every turn, others don't know, and they still think that Qin Xianglou was opened by your Mufu!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a suppressed sigh in the hall, mixed with a few laughs. Mu Ziyang stayed on the spot with a pale face, but Mu Ziyue pointed at Yu Ruyan angrily, and said a sentence for a long time.

"You ······"

"Lord Wang, should this privately sell women from good families?" Yu Ruyan didn't look at Mu Ziyue, who was trembling with anger, and asked Lord Wang again.

Wang Dacai had just relieved himself, but he didn't expect Yu Ruyan to throw the question on his head again, and his whole body suddenly stiffened and froze!

"Hugh wants to talk nonsense!" Mu Ziyue breathed a sigh of relief and finally spoke up, she said fiercely: "My mother just drove her out of the palace, and didn't sell her into the Qinglou, she was willing to fall and sell herself into the building, what does it have to do with my Mu family?" ”

"Huh!" Yu Ruyan smiled angrily, what kind of mother has what kind of daughter, the conspiracy methods are all the same vicious and dirty, and even the despicable acts that dare to do but dare not do it are exactly the same.

She didn't bother to argue with her, her cold eyes looked at Mu Ziyang who was sluggish on the side without a trace of warmth, and said word by word: "Since Mu Gongzi dislikes Brother An's low background, why did he keep her by his side in the first place?" Even if you get tired of playing with her in the end and get tired of it, you can leave her a way to live for the sake of her being pregnant with your flesh and blood, and it's good to give her a little silver to beat her down, why do you need to sell her into the Qinglou to make money? Is the powerful and rich Prime Minister still lacking this bit of silver? ”

Yu Ruyan's words were heartfelt, and her sharp eyes were eager to kill the two hateful brothers and sisters in front of her, so for her, and for Brother An, it was so hateful!

Thinking of her pitiful appearance when she saw Brother An, and thinking of the birthal clothes that were still in her body and threatening her life, Yuru was so angry that her whole body trembled, and her eyes were dark, and she was about to fall to the ground.

A pair of hands stretched out behind him to steadily hold her into his arms, Mu Lingzhi's deep eyes swelled with a few feelings of pity, warm hands covered her cold fingertips, and said firmly: "Don't worry, everything has me!" ”

Mu Ziyang's face turned pale, her lips twitched a few times and she didn't say a word, and Mu Ziyue saw Mu Lingzhi protecting her, her apricot eyes suddenly turned red, and she couldn't care about pretense anymore, and the hatred in her heart made her lose her last reason, and she flicked the beautifully decorated horsewhip in her hand and whipped it towards Yu Ruyan, and said sharply: "Slut, don't say crazy words without evidence." ”

The exquisite and luxurious horsewhip carried the chill to Yu Ruyan's face, she didn't expect Mu Ziyue to suddenly be difficult, she didn't have time to avoid it, seeing that the horsewhip was about to be drawn head-on, Mu Ling's eyes reached out and grabbed the horsewhip without blinking, and his tone was cold and piercing: "I heard that Liu Mazi, a famous ruffian in the Eastern Capital, is the brother-in-law of the Jiang Steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his usual business is to sell women from good families to Qinxianglou for money, if he is arrested and tortured, I believe it will not be difficult to find out who is behind him!" ”

With a shake of her hand, Mu Ziyue was so shocked that she couldn't hold the horsewhip in her hand, and fell to the ground with a 'horn click', looking up at Mu Lingzhi in disbelief.

Yu Ruyan looked coldly at the horsewhip that fell to the ground, and said in a cold voice: "I only ask Miss Mu one more thing, why do you want to arrest her back now when Mu Mansion mercilessly abandoned Brother An, who was pregnant?" What did she do to your prime minister? ”

The streamer's eyes were like a pool of cold, bubbling with a hint of cold, she looked at the vicious woman in front of her like a snake and scorpion, gritted her teeth to suppress the hatred in her heart, gritted her teeth and asked: "As long as Miss Mu is willing to let my friend go, the grievances between me and Miss Mu will be eliminated, I don't know what Miss Mu wants?" ”

She deliberately said the word 'before' very seriously, that is, to tell Mu Ziyue that if she dared to detain Brother An again, don't blame her for the dirty things she framed herself before!

Mu Ziyue was forced to have no way to escape, her mouth opened and closed several times, but she couldn't speak anymore.

She looked at the indifferent Mu Lingzhi in despair, the indifference on his face made her heart tremble, and she gritted her teeth and said to Yu Ruyan: "It's too late today, tomorrow you will come to the house to pick up people!" ”

"No, I'll go back to Mufu with Miss Mu to pick up Brother An now!" Yu Ruyan knows the woman in front of her too well, and she doesn't know what tricks she has come up with in one night, she must rescue Brother An immediately!

Sure enough, hearing her words, Mu Ziyue's eyes darkened, and she was about to say something to refute it, but Mu Lingzhi said coldly: "I'll accompany you to pick up Brother An!" ”

As soon as Mu Lingzhi's words came out, there was no reverberation, Mu Ziyue's heart was cold, and she stumbled, almost falling to the ground······

On the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yu Ruyan looked at Mu Lingzhi, hesitated for a long time before mustering up the courage to say, "Your Highness, thank you!" ”

After a night of trouble, Mu Lingzhi seemed to be tired, he leaned against the wall of the carriage with his eyes closed, his body swayed slightly with the movement of the carriage, his expression was stunned when he heard Yu Ruyan's words, and after a while, he slowly opened his eyes, and his deep eyes were bright and dazzling under the reflection of the lights-

"Thank me for what?" He looked at it and asked softly.

"Uh, Your Highness Xie ······ tonight" Yu Ruyan was about to break her fingers and thank him for his help tonight, if it weren't for him standing by her side, believing in her, and defending her, Mu Ziyue would not have agreed to let Brother An go so quickly.

"Thank you, I know that Xiao Yue has done so many hurtful things to you, but I pretend not to know?"

Mu Lingzhi's abrupt words made the entire carriage fall silent suddenly!

The head he had been holding high hung down at some point, and Yu Ruyan couldn't see his expression, but only felt the faint sadness emanating from his body.

Her heart was sour, and all the past passed in front of her, and her eyes suddenly became extremely sour.

"It turns out that His Highness knows everything!" After a long time, Yu Ruyan said softly.

"So······ Don't you hate me and hate me? The flickering lights in the carriage made his expression flicker, his deep eyes were full of guilt, and his always calm voice trembled with a trembling voice, which seemed to be low to the dust.

"Hate! Of course I hate! Yu Ruyan looked at the man in front of him in a daze, at this time he seemed to be no longer the high Liang Third Prince, but like a child who had done something wrong.

A rolling wave churned in her heart······

The tide subsided, and her voice was filled with helplessness and rebuke—

"But I know His Highness's intentions, and I also know His Highness's difficulties, His Highness is a person who cherishes every feeling in his heart, and it is precisely because of this that he will be tolerant and understanding of Miss Mu. So, in the end, I couldn't hate it! ”

Mu Lingzhi was stunned when he heard this, and his sunken eyes suddenly flashed brightly. He held out his hand to her, and she hesitated for a moment to put her hand in his palm, and the next, it had been carried into his warm arms.

"Have you heard of the mutiny of Daliang ten years ago?" Mu Lingzhi's eyes hesitated and struggled, and his body was filled with indescribable sadness, but he finally mustered up the courage to say this.

Yu Ruyan felt the struggle in his heart, raised her head to look at the sadness on his face, and her heart was clear-

She had heard a little about the mutiny of the Daliang royal family ten years ago, but she only heard that the scene at that time was very tragic, and the entire eastern capital was full of blood and corpses.

She grew up in the palace and knew the cruelty of the royal family, just by looking alike, she could know what kind of miserable situation it was at that time. Now that she heard Mu Lingzhi take the initiative to mention it, her heart suddenly hurt.

"Ten years ago, the father regent, who was still the regent, led troops against the first emperor, that is, my imperial uncle. That day was the Hanrui Festival, and according to the past practice, I made an appointment with my cousin, who was the then Prince Yi and Xiao Yuechen, to go to the candy man shop, but when I was about to go out, my father stopped me and asked me to find an opportunity to kill my cousin······"

Mu Lingzhi's voice seemed to come from the distant sky, and it was too unreal to listen to Yu Ruyan's ears-

“······ I can't do anything, after all, I grew up with my cousin, Chenzhi and Xiaoyue, and I have a lot of feelings, and my cousin treats me like a brother and sister, teaching me to play chess and draw martial arts since I was a child, in my heart, he is not only my brother, but also like my mentor and friend, and the person I respect and admire the most, so I can't do it until I ······"

“······ There was a fire in the palace, and my cousin realized that something was wrong and took us back with him. When we arrived, my father was fighting desperately with the emperor, and my cousin angrily aimed an arrow at my father, and I was finally a sword······"

The corners of Mu Lingzhi's eyes were moist unconsciously, and it took a long time before he continued: "Xiaoyue was crowned the crown princess when she was eight years old, and she only married her cousin after the year of Jiqi, she should have a brilliant future, but she was all ······ by me My cousin died, Chenzhi was also killed, and only me and Xiaoyue were left among the four, and because of the guilt in my heart, and because of the nostalgia for when I was a child, I have been obedient to her with a sense of atonement over the years, even if it is found out that she sold you into the Qinglou and designed to harm you in the East Palace, I can't be cruel to her! ”

Mu Lingzhi's eyes were full of sadness and guilt, "Not in the future, I won't let people bully you again." He said to her firmly.

Yu Ruyan raised her sleeve to wipe his tears, and in order to alleviate the depressing and dull atmosphere, she pretended to be relaxed and playful: "This is His Highness's own guarantee, His Highness will never bully me again in the future." Her sparkling eyes blinked a few times, tilted her head and said seriously: "If Your Highness can't do it, it's a leper dog who doesn't count!" ”

Mu Lingzhi's face turned red, he blushed when she teased him, and the depression in his heart was swept away, he pulled up her sleeve and glanced at it, and was so angry that he vomited blood: "It's really ······ that your sleeve is stained with rat blood and used it to wipe my eyes Where's your handkerchief? ”

Her handkerchief burned after wiping the blood stains with the knife, and now when she suddenly heard him ask, her heart was stagnant, and she was so frightened that cold sweat came out, and she hurriedly salivated and said, "I don't shed tears, why do I have a handkerchief!" ”

As soon as she said that, she hated to pump herself two big mouths.

Sure enough, the attentive Mu Lingzhi seemed to have thought of something, and after thinking about it seriously for a long time, staring at her eyes and saying strangely: "Don't you say that I haven't shown up yet, I've been with you for so long, I really haven't seen you cry, and I haven't seen you shed a single tear when I was beaten so badly in the East Palace, tsk, as the saying goes, women are made of water, and I think you look like you're made of stone." ”

The bitterness in her heart was boundless, she grinned on her face and joked: "When I was a child, I loved to cry, and I cried all my tears, but now I can't cry if I want to." ”

Hearing this, Mu Ling's eyes flashed slightly, and her slender fingers slowly stroked her cheeks, took her hand and took her into his arms again.

The temperature from her fingertips seemed to have a magical power to instantly warm her whole body, and the bitterness and coldness in her heart were dispelled by his warm embrace, and at this moment, there was no more darkness in Yu Ruyan's heart, only sunlight remained.

After successfully picking up Brother An, Yu Ruyan sent her to the Wuwei Medical Center overnight, running back and forth all night without closing her eyes for a moment, but as soon as the morning dawned, after Mu Lingzhi went out, she quickly got up and secretly left Yunsong Courtyard and came to the garden.

She was worried about the knife all night, not because he would be discovered, but about the wounds on his body.

Last night, after understanding Mu Ziyue's trick, Yu Ruyan understood that Xiao Dao could no longer stay in her bungalow no matter what, but she couldn't think of any other place in the palace where Xiao Dao could hide, and when she was at a loss, Xiao Dao told her that there was an extremely secret stone cave in the garden, and this stone cave was also the hiding place of Xiao Dao before, and it helped him escape the search of Mu Lingzhi's secret guards, and he couldn't find him when he wanted to come to Mu Ziyue's mansion.

After arranging the knife, she deliberately showed a panicked and nervous mood in front of Mu Ziyue, making her think that she had hidden the knife in the bungalow, but at the right time, she saw the blood stains on her sleeve, which further made her think that the knife must have a connection with herself, and then confidently insisted on searching her bungalow.

If she can't find a knife in her room, Mu Ziyue will make amends to her, so that she can use this to ask her for Brother An!

A death situation was changed by her, but the sinister Yu Ruyan in it is afraid when she thinks about it now!

The lonely garden was empty, it was still early, and the ladies in the house had not yet gotten up. Yu Ruyan cautiously came to the edge of the stone cave, moved away from a rockery outside and looked inside, and couldn't help but change her face greatly-

The cave was empty!

Yu Ruyan's face turned white, and her heart jumped out suddenly, where did the knife go?

Suddenly, her eyes flickered, and she thought of a possibility, so she hurriedly covered the hole and walked out.

Soon after Yu Ruyan left, a petite figure appeared in front of the stone cave, and the figure moved away from the rockery outside the stone cave according to Yu Ruyan's appearance, and when she saw the cave inside, her eyes sank, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but evoke a smug sneer.
