At this time, Lin Ning's voice came from outside the study, "Lord Wang, my subordinate Lin Ning has arrived." ”

Mu Yuanjing restrained his emotions and opened the door of the study, and said as he walked out: "From today onwards, you will hide in the dark, if no one is there when this king is poisoned, you will be tired, and the matter handed over to you will be sent to the hidden guard." ”

"Subordinates obey." After Lin Ning responded, he disappeared with a vertical leap.

Seeing that the master finally left Lin Ning, Yong'an's heart fell back to the same place, only to hear Mu Yuanjing ask, "The princess is still in the garden?" ”

The matter was over, Yong'an's expression was a lot more relaxed, "The princess just returned to Moxiangju after enjoying the flowers. ”

Yong'an's words made Mu Yuanjing silently change the direction of his feet from the garden to Moxiangju.

When he entered the door, Su Qingmo was leisurely lying on the couch under the window in the usual dress in the boudoir, and the maids were all sent away by her, and no one announced Mu Yuanjing's arrival.

Su Qingmo held a book and watched it with relish, and didn't raise his head until the scroll in front of him was blocked by a shadow.

Mu Yuanjing found out last night that his princess was not as dignified and elegant as she looked on the outside, but on the contrary, her personality was a little straightforward and unpretentious, so it was better than those girls who pretended to be delicate at every turn.

Su Qingmo was also annoyed at this time, she liked to be unrestrained when she was in the Su family, and she was comfortable in the boudoir on weekdays, but the Zhou family was strict, so she didn't dare to show this appearance in front of the Zhou family.

There are only a few maids who have seen it, who knows that they were discovered on the second day of marrying into the palace, and this person is not saying that he will not come back to eat today, but when he says that he can't do it, the man's mouth is really a deceitful ghost.

Su Qingmo pretended to sit up calmly, put on embroidered shoes, straightened his shirt and bowed to Mu Yuanjing, and said, "The concubine has seen the prince." ”

Although Mu Yuanjing thought it was funny, his good upbringing did not allow him to do anything rude, and looking at the other party's somewhat apprehensive look, she was embarrassed and pretended not to know: "What book was the princess reading just now?" ”

Mu Yuanjing stretched out his hand to pick up the book on the couch, Su Qingmo quickly pulled the book away, and said with a smile: "It's not a unique masterpiece, I don't want to be interested in the prince." ”

Mu Yuanjing couldn't bear the teasing thoughts in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay to read some miscellaneous books for entertainment." ”

Su Qingmo looked at the outstretched palm in front of her, only to feel that the big hand of fate had grabbed her neck, and she really couldn't think of an excuse to refuse, so she had to send the book to the other party.

Mu Yuanjing took the book, flipped through the two pages, and saw a certain fragment that read: 'The man was shirtless, single-handedly rushed into the bandits' den of sixty people, pushed left and right, chopped his arms and legs, and rescued his sweetheart from the bandits' in a short time.

Closing the book, Mu Yuanjing pondered and said, "The princess likes to read this kind of book? ”

A light smile appeared on Su Qingmo's lips, and he said, "I can't talk about liking, I just pass the time." ”

Mu Yuanjing thought for a while and said, "There are some miscellaneous books in this king's study, let Yongan bring you some tomorrow." ”

Su Qingmo smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”

In the afternoon of this day, the two read their own books in Moxiangju and got along very well, and at the end of Shen Shi, Qingrui came in from outside and said, "Lord, princess, do you want to have dinner?" ”

Mu Yuanjing looked at the sky, nodded and said, "Put it here." ”

The maids came in, and it didn't take long for dinner to be set up in Moxiangju, and the two masters sat at the dining table after rinsing their hands and mouths, Su Qingmo was slightly surprised when he saw the unique delicacies of his hometown on the table.

Mu Yuanjing said on the side: "I'm afraid that you won't be used to eating the food in the capital, so I asked someone to invite a cook from your hometown, and if you want to eat anything in the future, just go down." ”

I have to say that if you put aside the side talks, Mu Yuanjing is worthy of people's affection, and under the suppression of reason, Su Qingmo's heart was somewhat moved, and she smiled: "Thank you for your trouble." ”

The two silently finished dinner, and after rinsing their mouths, Mu Yuanjing said to Su Qingmo: "The princess is willing to go shopping in the palace with this king." ”

Su Qingmo said happily: "It just so happens that the concubine is not very familiar with the palace, so the prince can help introduce the concubine." ”

Afraid of the cold at night, Qinghe took out his cloak and followed behind Su Qingmo, Mu Yuanjing took the cloak from Qinghe's hand and said to the servants around him: "You don't have to follow, this king and the princess go alone." ”

Su Qingmo nodded to Qinghe, and then followed Mu Yuanjing out of Moxiangju, after the sun set, the scenery in the palace is naturally not as good as in the daytime, the attic rockery, Qingxi stone road, can only see the general outline in the night, it just so happens that today is still the new moon, if there is no lantern in the garden, I am afraid that I will not be able to see things clearly.

Mu Yuanjing walked for a while with the lantern in his right hand and asked, "Is the climate princess in Beijing still used to it?" ”

Su Qingmo carefully looked at the road under his feet and replied, "The concubine does not have any discomfort. ”

After returning to Moxiangju, Qingrui was busy preparing the things for the master's bath and sleep, and never noticed Mu Yuanjing, and even Su Qingmo did not hear Mu Yuanjing's footsteps following behind him.

The moment Su Qingmo looked back and saw Mu Yuanjing, he was surprised and said, "Why is the prince still here?" ”

Mu Yuanjing thought a lot along the way, if Su Qingmo and the Su family did not make mistakes, then his princess would not be replaced in his life, and he didn't like the matter of taking concubines to have sex, so it was better to get along well with the relationship between the two, and if he couldn't be a lover with mutual affection, at least he could be a friend with a similar heart.

Mu Yuanjing walked behind the screen to change his clothes, and walked up to Su Qingmo as if teasing: "Won't the princess stay with this king today?" ”

Su Qingmo looked at him with the same eyes as if he had known Mu Yuanjing on the first day, and he almost couldn't hold it on his face, and just when he was about to retreat, Su Qingmo asked, "Does the prince want to bathe first?" ”

Mu Yuanjing nodded, turned around and walked quickly out of the main room to Tang Mu Fang, Yongan entered Tang Mu Room with his side, and after removing his clothes, Mu Yuanjing sat in the bath tub and instructed Yong'an: "Tomorrow, bring one of the king's products to the princess." ”

Mu Yuanjing's mind she can probably figure out, to be honest, such a result is the best she expected, the two can't be a loving couple, then they will be friends who live together, but although the worries in her heart have decreased, they are not to the point of being completely eliminated, and look back, where can he and her go.

After the two bathed, they returned to the bedroom in their bedclothes, and after the maid dispersed, there was a trace of imperceptible embarrassment in the room, Mu Yuanjing spoke first: "It's late at night, just rest." ”

Su Qingmo nodded, took the lead in climbing onto the inside of the bed, lay straight upright, and covered the quilt.

After Mu Yuanjing waited for Su Qingmo to lie down, he lifted the other side of the quilt and lay in, sensing the tension of the people around him, Mu Yuanjing said softly: "Don't worry, even if you don't agree with the heir, this king will never touch you." ”

Su Qingmo slandered in her heart, and yesterday she said that she was too young and had to wait, but today she will become a round house or not depends on whether she agrees or not, a man's mouth, a deceitful ghost.

The night was getting deeper, Su Qingmo thought that she would lose sleep all night, but she didn't expect that she would fall asleep in just a moment, Mu Yuanjing could see even in the dark because of her martial arts practice, and the woman next to her was obviously asleep, breathing long and even.

If you marry into an ordinary family, you may be favored by your husband and have a happy life, or you may not be as good as you are now, but since he was put into the chess game by the Su family and the royal brother as a chess piece, he will try his best to protect her, while he can still protect her.

As his thoughts surged, Mu Yuanjing slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Just after the hour, except for the people who patrol the night in the entire capital, the rest of the people have already fallen asleep, Su Qingmo turned over and rubbed beside Mu Yuanjing, Mu Yuanjing was woken up, looked at the dark head next to him, closed his eyes and was about to continue sleeping, when the door was suddenly knocked, Mu Yuanjing got up, and Su Qingmo also woke up with his movement.

Su Qingmo said in a daze: "What's the matter?" ”

Mu Yuanjing put on his coat and said softly: "It's okay, you continue to sleep, this king goes out to have a look." ”

Su Qingmo slowly retracted the quilt, Mu Yuanjing opened the door, and Yong'an outside the door said, "Lord Wang, something happened." ”

——

Yongan stood at the door of the bedroom and said eagerly: "Commander Wei sent someone to report that the guards guarding the north city gate found that the corpses of twelve children suddenly appeared in the mass grave outside the city gate, and each corpse had been roasted, and Commander Wei had already taken people to the mass grave. ”

Yong'an's voice was not lowered because he was eager when he spoke, and Mu Yuanjing didn't realize whether he would wake up Su Qingmo, until Su Qingmo came over in a skirt, and Mu Yuanjing said apologetically: "Wake you up, this king has something to go out for." ”

Su Qingmo ignored him, she stared straight at Yong'an, "Is it the first day of junior high school tonight?" ”

Yongan was panicked, but still replied: "Back to the princess, exactly." ”

Su Qingmo's heart tightened, he reached out and grabbed the cuffs of Mu Yuanjing's shirt, and his voice was so soft that he was afraid of waking someone up, "Lord Wang, no one in Beijing has been killed in the past two days, and the way of death is particularly strange and weird." ”

Mu Yuanjing and Yong'an both felt incredible, the incident in Chengnan District only happened yesterday, and it was impossible for it to reach Su Qingmo's ears so quickly.

Mu Yuanjing looked at her unconscious trembling hand, wrapped her hand with his other hand and said, "Yesterday, a woman was killed at her home in Chengnan District. ”

Finished.

After Mu Yuanjing's words were finished, Su Qingmo had only one thought in her heart, she looked out of the door with a void gaze, and muttered in her mouth: "Is she still pregnant with a child in her belly, and the body has been divided?" ”

Mu Yuanjing noticed that Su Qingmo's mood was a little wrong, and he said to Yong'an, who was shocked on the side: "Let Wei Xu send someone to guard the mass grave, and talk about it tomorrow." ”

After speaking, he closed the door and led the person back to the inner room.

Placing the person on the bed, Mu Yuanjing walked to the table outside, raised his hand to test the temperature of the teapot, the temperature was a little high, it seemed that it was not long after the maid who was waiting outside was newly replaced, he raised his hand and poured a cup of tea into the inner room and put it in Su Qingmo's hand, then sat next to her and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Su Qingmo held the warm teacup, the warmth was transmitted back to her heart from her fingers, and then she felt that her limbs had eased up, she took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and her face was hesitant but she still said to Mu Yuanjing: "Lord Wang, someone is refining ghosts and moving gold." ”

At first, Mu Yuanjing didn't understand the meaning of her words, until Su Qingmo explained: "Someone is refining ghost babies to make money. ”

Mu Yuanjing believed in the evil sect's crooked technique, after all, in the past few months since the establishment of the Hidden World Ya, he has also encountered a few ghostly and evil things, what he didn't expect was that Su Qingmo actually knew something about this, and he asked softly: "How do you know?" ”

Su Qingmo's eyes widened with black purity, and he felt incredulous, "You believe me?" ”

I was so shocked that I didn't even need to be humble.

"Why don't I believe you?" Mu Yuanjing said with a smile.

Su Qingmo took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, "The concubine thinks that the flow of witchcraft and evil art will provoke the disdain of the prince." ”

Mu Yuanjing smiled and said: "Everything has a reason for the existence of all things, man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, the Tao is the nature, everything is the meaning of its existence," after a pause, Mu Yuanjing continued: "In the future, there is no need to use humility, I hope that you and I can get along like friends." ”

Su Qingmo looked at Mu Yuanjing's eyes and confirmed for a long time, then replied with a smile: "Okay." ”

Mu Yuanjing also smiled, so that the relationship between the two was a little more harmonious.

Thinking of the mass grave, Su Qingmo said with a straight face: "Has the prince heard of refining ghosts and moving gold?" ”

Mu Yuanjing shook his head, and Su Qingmo continued: "When I was young, my body was weak, and my father was worried about my death while treating me, and my mother cried all day long, saying that she was afraid that the little ghost would entangle my life, so my father sent me to the master's door, and the master consolidated my soul for me. “

"He also taught me the formation spell style he knew all his life, in fact, the master also wanted to teach me some real skills, but my body can't bear it, and the most basic thing about those skills to subdue evil is to use the original solid key of the caster's body, and I can't learn it in my life."

"I can't learn, but my cousin can, when my cousin went to see me, the master said that my cousin's bones were amazing, at first I thought that the master was to deceive my cousin's family to learn the words in the martial arts book to praise my cousin, until later after my cousin started, I knew that the master's eyesight was really sharp."

Seeing that the topic was getting more and more biased, Mu Yuanjing hurriedly interrupted, "Qingmo hasn't told me what ghost refining and gold transfer is. ”

Such an affectionate title made Su Qingmo suddenly feel a little ashamed, and said: "As the name suggests, refining ghosts and moving gold is to refine ghosts to boost their own financial luck, and generally people who refine ghosts are gamblers, because they want to win money after they lose money, but they have no capital, so they can only think of some evil ways to do crooked." ”

She took another sip of tea, "This technique is what I saw from an ancient book of my master, if you want to make the ghost refining and move gold successfully, you must choose to start it at the time of Shuori, does the prince know what Shuori is?" ”

Mu Yuanjing shook his head.
