Chen Xuan was escorted down by the guards, in order to prevent changes, so Mu Yuanjing made the decision to behead Shen Shimo, as long as there are still a few details in the case that are not clear.

As the person in charge of the Hidden World, Mu Yuanjing secretly dealt with a lot of troubles for Emperor Wu'an that could not be solved on the surface, and he had a way to know the things that Chen Xuan was concealing, but these were inconvenient for Su Qingmo to see.

After sending Su Qingmo back to the palace, he returned to the yamen alone.

In the hidden prison, Mu Yuanjing stood up from his chair and glanced at the person who was hanging in the air not far away, the person hung his head down, his clothes were intact, and there were no external injuries, but his breath was very weak.

"Lord Wang, time is running out." Seeing that the master had almost asked, Wei Xu stepped forward and reminded.

Mu Yuanjing straightened the hem of his clothes, with a coldness on his face that Su Qingmo had never seen before, "Clean him up, and don't be seen by others when he is cut down." ”

Wei Xu ordered someone to carry down Chen Xuan, who had already fainted in pain, and fed a pill into his mouth and asked the guards to carry him back to the prison.

Mu Yuanjing left the dark prison and pondered Chen Xuan's words in his mind.

In order to force Chen Xuan to tell the truth, he asked Wei Xu to poison Chen Xuan, the poison made Chen Xuan unable to survive and die, the pain was unbearable for ordinary people, not to mention Chen Xuan, so it didn't take much time for Chen Xuan to tell everything he knew.

It turned out that Chen Xuan eloped with Widow Liu and then hid in the slums in the east of the city, Chen Xuan's character is cowardly, and it has taken the greatest courage of his life to walk with Widow Liu, he fantasizes about a happy life for the two in the future, but the poor life has broken all imagination.

Until a woman in black appeared at his home late at night.

In fact, Widow Liu lied, Chen Xuan didn't know about the existence of the woman in black, on the contrary, the person the woman in black first found was not her but Chen Xuan.

The woman in black took advantage of Chen Xuan's poverty and tempted him to kill his wife and children with the secret technique of refining ghosts and moving gold.

Can Chen Xuan do it?

No, he was afraid to die, but the despair brought about by the lack of money and the bewitchment of Widow Liu made him ruthless and handed Yuan Niang a note that he had met Chen's mother in the middle of the night.

In this way, Yuan Niang added a little sleeping medicine to the kettle that Chen's mother drank to make Chen's mother sleep more deeply, and then opened the door in the middle of the night to let Chen Xuan enter the house.

Before Chen Xuan dissected the belly of Yuan Niang, who was fascinated by the fragrance of the soul, his hands trembled, his face stiffened, and he didn't dare to look at Yuan Niang's eyes, if it weren't for the constant urging of Widow Liu beside him, maybe Chen Xuan would have given up a long time ago.

This is the second lie told by Widow Liu, she is not a participant in the killing of Yuan Niang, but another murderer who joined forces with Chen Xuan to kill, that is, her little finger was bitten off when she held down Yuan Niang.

After killing his wife and taking his children, Chen Xuan refined the ghost baby according to the method taught by the woman in black, and used the ghost baby to win a lot of money in the gambling house, he began to become unscrupulous, and the more money he won, the greed in his heart also grew, he decided to abandon the past and enjoy the life of a human being, and he was even ready to abandon Widow Liu together.

So when the woman in black found him again and revealed that she could change her own fate and the fate of others at will after devouring the ghost baby, the ugliest desire in human nature made him forget the fear and fear of killing people before, and also wiped out the last trace of humanity in his heart.

In order to meet the necessary conditions for devouring the ghost baby, he first killed Wu Zhong's wife Wu Rong, and then deceived and used Widow Liu, so that she appeared in front of Mu Yuanjing with Wu Rong's face.

On the afternoon of the day when Widow Liu was taken into custody, someone informed Wu Zhong that his wife Wu Rongshi had somehow been locked up by the people of the Yamen, and when Wu Zhong was in a hurry to see Wumen, someone appeared at his house late at night and said that he could take him to see Wu Rong, Wu Zhong responded, but was stunned on the way to the cell, and when he woke up, he saw Widow Liu dressed as Wu Rongshi standing in front of him.

Widow Liu, who drank the corpse oil, manipulated the ghost baby to kill him when Wu Zhong was conscious, and planted the transformation Gu in his body.

Wu Zhong couldn't understand why his wife was suddenly imprisoned until he died, and even killed himself.

After Wu Zhong's death, the ghost baby quickly absorbed Wu Zhong's deep resentment as Chen Xuan's friend.

At this time, Chen Xuan, who was pretending to be stupid, had been taken back to the inn by Chen's mother from the hidden world, he brutally killed Chen's mother, cut off Chen's mother's face, and made a human skin mask overnight, and then Widow Liu, who escaped from prison, took the opportunity to sneak into Chen Xuan's room and pretended to be Chen's mother.

Chen's mother died at the hands of her own child, simply because if she wanted to devour the ghost baby, she had to sacrifice the soul of her loved ones.

Chen Xuan's plan was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Unexpectedly, someone saw through the disguise of the Transformation Gu and arrested Widow Liu for the second time.

Even so, when he was escorted into the Hidden World Ya again, Chen Xuan did not panic, he still pretended to be stupid, he taught Widow Liu how to deal with the Yamen's questioning in advance, in order to push all the crimes on her, and even the reason why Widow Liu appeared in front of Mu Yuanjing in the first place was to let her take the blame for herself in the future.

Who knows, success is also Xiao He defeat.

In the end, Widow Liu actually messed up and exposed him.

This is all the facts that Chen Xuan confessed.

Mu Yuanjing, who was deep in thought, was interrupted by footsteps behind him.

Wei Xu caught up with the master in front of him in a few steps, "The prince believes what Chen Xuan said?" ”

Mu Yuanjing didn't answer, but asked, "What do you think?" ”

Wei Xu scratched his head, "Chen Xuan said that the man in black he saw on the night he killed Yuan Niang was a woman, and he also said that it was a man who took Widow Liu from prison, and his subordinates were a little confused. ”

"He didn't dare to lie, what he said could only prove that there were two unidentified men in black in this case."

It's just that the two have never appeared in front of anyone so far, and they only command and control Chen Xuan and Widow Liu behind the scenes.

The murderer has been arrested, and Wei Xu is not as far-reaching as Mu Yuanjing, so even if the identity of the man in black is not clear, he is no longer entangled, and only sighs: "My subordinates can't imagine that there are people like Chen Xuan in this world, who have harmed the lives of their loved ones, and in the end they don't repent at all." ”

Mu Yuanjing didn't have a superfluous expression on his face, and said lightly: "People in the world will be more or less selfish, but Chen Xuan is especially serious, he tried to end everything with Widow Liu's death, so that he could completely get out and live the life he wanted. ”

Wei Xu continued: "As everyone knows, in the end, it was Widow Liu who made him leave a horse's feet. ”

Wei Xu's words were full of embarrassment, Mu Yuanjing didn't say anything more, and walked out of the hidden world in silence and got into the carriage back to the house.

——

More than half a month has passed since the case of refining ghosts and moving gold.

In the palace, Qingrui walked into Moxiangju with a gilded invitation, Su Qingmo was busy in his hands, not long ago the fourth Chu Xiang Wang Muyuan Chu returned to Beijing, in order to express his joy, Emperor Wu'an held a family banquet in the palace.

Mu Yuanchu is relatively straight, he has no heart, when Emperor Wu'an did not ascend the throne, he has been following behind Emperor Wu'an, a very good brother, sometimes Emperor Wu'an looks at him even more pleasing than his own brother Mu Yuanjing.

On the palace banquet, after Emperor Wu'an left the table, the people who were under the head became no longer restrained, and walked around at will to greet each other, and Mu Yuanchu, who was full of wine and food, also took the princess to the table of Mu Yuanjing and Su Qingmo.

Su Qingmo got up with Mu Yuanjing.

Mu Yuanchu nodded to Su Qingmo with a wine glass, and then smiled on his face, pointing to the purse on his waist and looking at Mu Yuanjing with an expressionless face on the side, "Why did the sixth brother still carry the objects in the palace on his body after marrying his wife, and all the clothes that your fourth brother and I should wear are all prepared by the princess herself." ”

Mu Yuanjing glanced at the purse on Mu Yuanchu's waist, and his expression was indifferent, "It's a pity that the craftsmanship of the fourth imperial sister-in-law." ”

Mu Yuanchu has been squeezed by Mu Yuanjing since he was a child, but he always likes to go to Mu Yuanjing's side, Mu Yuanjing's casual words felt harsh in Mu Yuanchu's ears, and he said hurriedly: "What do you mean." ”

Mu Yuanjing smiled perfunctorily and didn't speak, and then Su Qingmo watched the whole banquet come down, and Mu Yuanchu moved his somewhat rounded body to chase after Mu Yuanjing.

It wasn't until the end of the palace banquet that Mu Yuanjing was about to help Su Qingmo into the carriage, and Mu Yuanchu followed behind him and said, "What did you mean by what you just said?" ”

Mu Yuanjing raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?" ”

Mu Yuanchu's face turned red with anger, and he actually said to Su Qingmo like a child's complaint: "Sixth brother and sister see how your husband is disrespectful. ”

Su Qingmo was about to open his mouth when Mu Yuanjing was forced to gently send him into the carriage, and then Mu Yuanjing, who followed the carriage, said casually: "It's okay, let's go back first." ”

Su Qingmo sat in the carriage and listened to Mu Yuanchu's angry accusations outside, and the gentle dissuasion of the princess Gao Biyun, and after thinking about it, Su Qingmo lifted the curtain of the car and smiled at Gao Biyun: "What my prince said today, please don't take the fourth emperor brother and the fourth emperor's sister-in-law to heart and leave." ”

The two women looked at each other and smiled, and after the carriage of the Linchuan Palace's mansion was getting farther away, Gao Biyun reached out and pinched the soft flesh on Mu Yuanchu's waist, and said angrily: "Lord, what are you doing with the six emperor brothers with a purse." ”

Mu Yuanchu bared his teeth and said: "Who let him always stab this king with words on weekdays, if this king doesn't ask for it, others will think that this king is afraid of him." ”

Gao Biyun's subordinates continued to exert their strength, "Now, isn't the prince still angry with the six emperor brothers. ”

Mu Yuanchu couldn't escape the black hand of his own princess, and compromised: "This king knows, next time I see him, this king will definitely hide far away." ”

Gao Biyun let go angrily, she believed that if she saw Mu Yuanjing next time, she would definitely come up again with the temperament of the prince of his family.

Su Qingmo in the carriage was made her scalp tingle by Mu Yuanjing, who was looking at her with a smile, and said in a little panic: "Why does the prince look at me like this?" ”

Mu Yuanjing supported his chin with his right hand, the moonlight hit his face through the car window, and his eyes seemed to be filled with fine starlight.

Su Qingmo stepped forward and tested the temperature on his forehead, "Is the prince drunk?" ”

Mu Yuanjing gently pulled off the hand she attached to her forehead and held it, and her smile was particularly confusing: "I'm a little drunk, so the princess has to take care of your family's prince." ”

Hearing this, Su Qingmo pulled his hand and let Mu Yuanjing hold it without moving.

——

"Princess, princess?" Qingrui looked at the master who was suddenly stunned when he was halfway through the embroidery purse and shouted.

Su Qingmo came back to his senses, looked at the purse he had just made in his hand with an unnatural expression, stood up and gritted his teeth and walked outside Mo Xiangju.

Su Qingmo walked to the door of the study all the way in a nervous mood, hesitating whether to go in, Yongan said softly on the side: "The princess is here to find the prince?" The prince is in the study. ”

Su Qingmo stood in front of the door and hesitated, and was about to turn around and leave when the door of the study was opened.

Mu Yuanjing didn't seem surprised by her appearance, and asked with a smile in his eyes: "Looking for me for something?" ”

Su Qingmo hurriedly hid the hand holding the purse behind him, nodded and walked into the study, Mu Yuanjing glanced at Yong'an, Yong'an blinked suspiciously, Mu Yuanjing said, "Stay away." ”

Yongan instantly understood the meaning of his master, and walked a little farther away from the study with great eyes.

Mu Yuanjing closed the door of the study, walked over to Su Qingmo and sat down, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Su Qingmo shook his head at first, and then nodded, with obvious hesitation on his face.

Mu Yuanjing looked at her tangled appearance and said with a smile: "You and I can just talk about something between us." ”

Su Qingmo was really ashamed to embroider the purse with his own hands and planned to give it to him, so he changed the topic and said, "I came to know how the people who were killed by Chen Xuan were settled. ”

"I asked the abbot of the Temple to overdo it for them."

Mu Yuanjing took the hot tea and put it in Su Qingmo's hand, and said suspiciously: "You came to the study just for this matter?" ”

Su Qingmo despised himself for being cowardly and cowardly in his heart, and said with no show on his face: "I also want to ask Widow Liu how she is." ”

"Dead."

Without waiting for Su Qingmo to ask, Mu Yuanjing continued: "At the same time that Chen Xuan was beheaded, she committed suicide in prison. ”

Su Qingmo touched the mouth of the teacup and sighed, "Chen Xuan treated her so well, but she still died with him, is it worth it?" ”

The air calmed down, neither of them spoke again, Su Qingmo pinched the purse hidden in his sleeve, thought about it and really didn't have the courage to give it away, and stood up with some loss and said, "The prince still has something to do, I'll go back first." ”

always felt that she didn't come to the study to ask about Chen Xuan, Mu Yuanjing was a little puzzled when she saw her move out of the study step by step.

After walking out of the study, Su Qingmo looked at the purse in his hand with some dejection, and was about to raise his foot to leave when he heard Mu Yuanjing ask softly behind her, "Give it to me?" ”

Su Qingmo didn't know when he came out, and stood stunned and didn't dare to look back.

Mu Yuanjing grabbed her stiff shoulders and pulled the person back to the study with a smile, "This purse is going to be given to me?" ”

Su Qingmo's eyes stared elsewhere but didn't look at Mu Yuanjing, she handed over the purse, and said with a slightly embarrassed expression: "Didn't the Fourth Emperor Brother say that his purse was made by the Fourth Emperor's sister-in-law during the last family banquet, I thought about it, anyway, embroidering a purse is not a troublesome thing, so I made one for the prince." ”

A fair-skinned and slender hand took the purse from Su Qingmo's hand, and after a long time he didn't hear any sound, Su Qingmo looked over apprehensively, and was unconsciously stunned.

She had never seen Mu Yuanjing so happy.

He looked at the delicate purse in his hand, and the love from the bottom of his heart was contained in his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth were filled with a faint smile.

Su Qingmo stammered a little, "You, do you like it?" ”

Mu Yuanjing raised his arm and gently hugged Su Qingmo into his arms, and he whispered in her ear: "I can't help but be overjoyed." ”

Su Qingmo hid his head in Mu Yuanjing's arms in shame.

Mu Yuanjing looked at her red ears, let go of her embrace with a smile, and said softly: "It just so happens that I also have something to discuss with you." ”

Su Qingmo coughed unnaturally and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Mu Yuanjing smiled: "Can I set up a small study room for you in the study?" ”

Su Qingmo looked around at the spacious study, "Where is it located?" ”

"Next to me." Mu Yuanjing pointed to an open space next to his desk and said.

Although having a study is not a bad thing for her, Su Qingmo is still a little puzzled, "Why would the prince suddenly want to set up a study for me." ”

Mu Yuanjing smiled and said, "If I say it's because I want to see you more every day, do you believe it?" ”

Mu Yuanjing really thought so in his heart, and after getting along with her, Mu Yuanjing gradually discovered her goodness, and her personality and temperament are also quite good for her own temper, which cannot be said to be completely fond of her.

But there are a lot of good feelings, and he wants to try to see if the two have more opportunities to get along, then the relationship between the two will not change.

Su Qingmo found that since the family banquet, this person would always say something that made people feel more than happy, she was not afraid to give sincerity, but the premise was that the other party needed to show sincerity first, she could see that Mu Yuanjing had a good impression of her, but it was not as good as she wanted.

After thinking about it, Su Qingmo agreed: "The matter of the study is up to Lord Lao." ”

She looked at Mu Yuanjing for a long time, and then pointed out: "If you don't try some things, I'm afraid that you will never know whether the result is good or bad." ”

Mu Yuanjing looked at Su Qingmo with soft eyes, and admitted with a smile, "I think so too." ”
