"Oh, really?" Situ Qi replied lukewarmly.

The maid beside Murong Xiaoxiao began to tremble under Situ Qi's majesty. Murong Xiaoxiao also raised her head in panic, just in time to meet the eyes cast by her boss Tu Qi, she turned her head in a panic, and tried to avoid his sight in a self-deception.

Immediately, two guards walked up to Murong Xiaoxiao and pressed her maidservant in front of Situ Qi.

"Little girl, isn't it her?" Situ Qi turned his head and instantly changed his face, and said softly to Mu Yuqing.

The maid looked at Mu Yuqing with a frightened expression, hoping to say "no" from her mouth. But hers is going to fall short eventually.

Mu Yuqing smiled at the maidservant, "That's her." A fluttering sentence sentenced the maidservant to death.

Murong Xiaoxiao's maid listened to this, and kept kowtowing to Situ Qi, "Lord Wang, no, it's not me, it's really not me!"

Murong Xiaoxiao's face turned white in an instant, afraid that she would say that she had instructed her.

"It's not you, who's it?" Situ Qi's voice suddenly raised an octave, anger leaked out, and the majestic voice resounded throughout the garden.

The maid was even more frightened and burst into tears, looking pitiful, but a person who did something wrong would eventually have to pay the price. "It's really not a slave, yes, yes, it was Miss who asked me to do it. Please spare the life of the slave and maid, please spare the life of the prince. ”

Situ Qi's eyes suddenly fell on Murong Xiaoxiao.

Murong Xiaoxiao rushed out of the crowd at once, knelt in front of Situ Qi, and pulled the hem of his clothes with both hands, "Seventh Prince, no, it's not me, it's her nonsense, she framed me." ”

Murong Xiaoxiao was kicked to the side of the stone in disgust by Situ Qi, and blood flowed down her forehead. Everyone looked at it and took a breath, but no one dared to provoke Situ Qi.

Murong Xiaoxiao let out an "ah", she felt a pain in her head, a stream of liquid flowed down from her head, she reached out and touched it, "blood, blood" and then fainted.

When Lord Murong heard that his beloved daughter had an accident, he hurriedly felt that his beloved daughter fainted to the side, and there was blood on her head, so he couldn't help but be angry, and after bowing to Situ Qi, he wanted to ask the master, "Lord Wang, what did your beloved daughter do to make you do so much?" ”

"What have you committed? You tell Lord Murong to hear it! Situ Qi turned his head and said to the maid who was crying.

Murong Xiaoxiao's maid cried while intermittently telling the whole thing.

"Lord Murong, I rescued Miss Mu, and I saw this maid acting panicked on the way here, and I bumped this prince."

Murong Hai's face changed, in the end, he was a person who had experienced wind and waves, and he quickly adjusted his state, he knew that he was in charge, and the five princes here testified for Mu Yuqing, and he couldn't say anything. "It turned out that the little girl collided with Miss Mu, and the official apologized to Miss Mu for the little girl, hoping that Miss Mu would forgive the little girl if she had a lot."

"Lord Murong, forgive, this is an attempted murder, so if Qing'er really has something, is it also a sentence of forgiveness and it will be over." Situ Qi obviously didn't want to let Murong Xiaoxiao go like this, today he said that she was his favorite person, and tomorrow he was going to go on an expedition, I am afraid that it would be difficult for him to protect her, and today he took this opportunity to kill the chickens and monkeys, so that they could converge and converge.

"This, I don't know what the Seventh Prince wants to do?" Murong Hai originally wanted to make a big thing small, but he didn't expect Situ Qi to refuse to let him go.

"The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and Miss Murong naturally has to be handled officially, right? The Five Princes. ”

This Situ Qi really has a black belly, and he didn't forget to pull him up when he offended people, "That's true." Fang Yan responded.

When Murong Hai heard the voice of the five princes, he couldn't say anything, so as not to make trouble to the emperor when he got to.

"Okay, since the five princes all agree, let's drag it out!" In the end, the guards dragged Murong Xiaoxiao's master and servant down, and the matter was over.

Mu Yuqing came to Fang Yan's side and gave a blessing, "Qing'er thanked the Fifth Prince for saving his life. ”

"You saved me before, and now I save you, it's a draw."

"Shall I give this back to you, then?" Mu Yuqing took out the fiery red jade pendant that Fang Yan had just given her on her waist today.

Fang Yan opened the fan and laughed heartily twice, "Little girl, how can you get back what you gave out, now that you and I have a draw, we will be called friends in the future." With that, he left.

The group of people who were watching the excitement on the side were shocked when they heard the friendship between Mu Yuqing and Fang Yan, but they didn't expect that Mu Yuqing, who was humble, had two backers behind her.

Mu Yuqing watched Fang Yan walk away before coming back to her senses and looking at the jade pendant in her hand.

"Let's go, girl." Situ Qi took her hand, as if realizing that Mu Yuqing was struggling, he added again, "Don't move, there are many people watching behind." Sure enough, Mu Yuqing settled down.

Inside the carriage, Situ Qi still held Mu Yuqing's hand and didn't let go, "Little girl, I'm sorry, do you blame me?" ”

Mu Yuqing looked at Situ Qi's face, there was a faint sadness on that handsome face, and anger at herself, she couldn't bear to blame him, she also knew that he was talking about the incident just now, "Don't blame." ”

"Why?" Situ Qi met her eyes, and there was a faint smile in her eyes.

"First, you didn't seek justice for me just now, and second, you didn't have to offend Lord Murong for me, but you would rather offend him and make an example for me, aren't you?"

He smiled, like the brightest star in the night sky, and people couldn't take their eyes off it. Mu Yuqing looked at him as if she was fascinated.

Situ Qi looked at Mu Yuqing's fascinated appearance, and couldn't help but laugh heartily. Mu Yuqing turned her face shyly.

Outside the carriage, Kill One and Biluo looked at each other and smiled, in their memory, the number of times the master laughed was really rare, let alone this hearty laughter, they felt happy from the bottom of their hearts for the master.

Mu Yuqing suddenly remembered that he said that he would tell her the murderer behind the scenes today, "You said that you took me to meet the mastermind behind the scenes today, who is the person behind the scenes?" ”。

"Girl, come here." Situ Qi hooked his index finger and motioned for her to come closer to him. Mu Yuqing moved a little closer to him.

"Little girl, do you remember that when you saw me, I was already seriously injured, if it weren't for you, I guess I would have died on that mountain."

"My father went to Xiguan when I was six years old, and the battle was victorious, and that time he repelled the soldiers of Tianxi and was seriously wounded, but it didn't take long for the news that my father had died in battle."

"I was told that my father's death was deliberate. I also didn't believe that my father would leave me and my mother behind, and my mother became depressed because of my father's death, and died soon after. So before that, I went to Xiguan to find out the cause of my father's death, but unexpectedly I was discovered by the saint, and I was hunted down all the way, and I almost died. ”

Mu Yuqing watched his whole person immersed in sad memories, and couldn't help but feel nervous.

"That is when I learned that my father was killed by Ma Zhao, but it was the emperor who ordered him to do it. ," Situ Qi briefly said the main thing.

Mu Yuqing had mixed feelings in her heart, she herself knew that he had been chased and killed and rescued by herself, and that had caused the disaster of slaughtering the village, which could not be blamed on him at all, but now that she heard his life experience, she no longer had hatred in her heart, and the rest was sympathy. She thought that in the past two years, he had always been responsive to her needs, and he had asked people to teach her medical skills and martial arts, but she .......

Seeing that Mu Yuqing fell into deep thought, Situ Qi called her a few times before she came back to her senses. Later, the two were relatively silent and returned all the way back to the Seven Kings' Mansion.

Early the next morning, Mu Yuqing got up early to practice martial arts as usual, this matter has become a habit of her in the past two years, revenge has not been avenged, she can't relax, and yesterday she knew the murderer behind the scenes, she had to redouble her efforts.

Mu Yuqing sweated all over after practicing martial arts, and after bathing, she went to the main hall with Biluo for breakfast. Situ Qi was already eating.

"Why don't you go to the morning court today?" Mu Yuqing walked to her place and sat down, and Situ Qi casually began to help her with the dishes again.

"Today the emperor asked me to take a day off, so I can accompany you around today. When you're done eating, follow me around a place. ”

"Where are you going?" Mu Yuqing stopped and looked at him.

"Secret, you'll know when you go," Situ Qi smiled.

Mu Yuqing pouted, "Okay." ”

After breakfast, Biluo packed up some things, and then the two boarded the carriage, while Kill One and Biluo sat in front and drove. The carriage went all the way to the suburbs, and Mu Yuqing and the two of them closed their eyes in the carriage.

Finally, the carriage stopped. "Lord, Miss, it's here."

Mu Yuqing got out of the carriage behind Situ Qi, and saw a dense bamboo forest, and when he came to one of the bamboos, he stretched out his hand to remove the soil on the ground, and there was a box inside, he opened the box and turned the mechanism, and a stone path suddenly appeared in the middle of the bamboo forest, and a courtyard could be faintly seen at the end of the bamboo forest.

"This is ......" Mu Yuqing looked stunned, she didn't expect that there was a mechanism here.

Situ Qi took her hand and led her all the way in. There is indeed a courtyard here, and the yard is not big, but it is not small.

Mu Yuqing took a serious look, and suddenly wet her eyes, this courtyard was exactly the same as her home in Maple Village, with four rooms, a main hall, and a kitchen were independent. There are some vegetables planted in one corner of the yard, and there is a chiaki made of vines hanging from the other side.

If anything, there is a peach blossom forest in full bloom behind the courtyard, and one of the rooms is dedicated to bathing, with a hot spring in it, and the heat is still bubbling out.
