Chapter 124: Hidden Murder
Although Mu Lingyun also wanted to know who sent Xu Ce to assassinate her, she knew that Xu Ce would not tell her the mastermind behind it at all, he was the killer and was no longer the simple and kind Xu Ce he used to be. If the real culprit is revealed, then he may not be able to survive in this world. The imperial court and the rivers and lakes are inseparable, bloody rain and bloody wind, the slightest difference in the pool, will be sent to Huangquan.
"I'd better send you back." Xu Ce looked at Mu Lingyun and said, although he also hoped that she could stay by his side for a longer time, but the reality was cruel, she was now Princess Ming, and if the people of the Prince's Mansion found out that she was gone, it might damage her reputation.
"Good! However, Brother Xu, you have to take care of yourself in the future. Mu Lingyun sympathized with his plight, and beheaded all the doors, leaving him alone to survive in the world.
"Well, don't worry, I will." Xu Ce bowed slightly.
As the sun sets, the sunset fills the sky.
Mu Lingyun hadn't appreciated the sunset so much for a long time, she remembered that before, she sneaked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she also went up the mountain with Xu Ce to pick fruits, and only went home in the evening. And the old days are gone, and he and she are no longer the same people.
At this time, Mu Lingyun turned his head to look at Xu Ce. "Brother Xu, you are wandering outside, if you encounter any problems in the future, you can ask me for help." Mu Lingyun said softly.
She has always regarded him as a big brother, and she has always cherished this friendship in her heart, even if the stars change, those memories will not disappear.
"Yun'er, thank you for treating me with this heart, I will remember it in my heart." Xu Ce smiled and said. He also knew that Mu Lingyun regarded him as a good friend and a good brother. He never imagined that the other party would be able to like him one day.
Unknowingly, Xu Ce sent her back to the prince's mansion. Xu Ce stood at the door of the prince's mansion and watched Mu Lingyun enter. There was a little sadness in his heart, and he didn't know when he would see him again.
As soon as Mu Lingyun stepped into the threshold, Jin Shaoming greeted him. When he saw her come back, his expression was extremely excited, "Yun'er, where did you go?" I'm scared to death, I'm scared what will happen to you. β
"You, it's always like this, and by the time you find out, I've managed to save myself." Mu Lingyun pouted. The last time she was caught by traffickers on the street, this time she was assassinated by a killer, every time Jin Shaoming's reaction was half a beat slow, Mu Lingyun was fortunate that she was able to survive thanks to her great fortune.
"Self-help? What do you mean by that? Are you in any danger? Jin Shaoming was surprised, he hurriedly clenched her hand, looked left and right, and saw if she was injured anywhere.
"Don't look, I don't have any injuries on my body, I just was kidnapped." Mu Lingyun said with a smile.
"Who kidnapped you? So are you really not hurt? Jin Shaoming asked again, he was worried that she was pregnant now, and a little bit of a mistake might affect the fetus in her womb.
"There were no injuries. The killer broke into the house and robbed me, but he didn't kill me and later released me. Mu Lingyun told him about this matter calmly.
"But why did he let you go when he took you away?" Jin Shaoming felt strange, since this killer has the ability to arrest her, it means that he is quite powerful, if the killer has the intention to kill, then she would have died a long time ago.
"Actually, that killer was my childhood friend, and he couldn't bear to kill me, so he let me go." Mu Lingyun explained. However, Mu Lingyun did not say Xu Ce's name, after all, His Majesty ordered the killing of the Xu family back then, and now, Xu Ce escaped, and she didn't want to hurt Xu Ce.
"Your childhood friend?" Jin Shaoming was full of curiosity about this person's identity.
"Alas, don't ask, this is someone you don't know, it's just that he stepped on the wrong path for a while, so he became an assassin." Mu Lingyun didn't want Jin Shaoming to delve into this matter.
Jin Shaoming felt that Mu Lingyun seemed to be deliberately shielding this killer, so he didn't want to ask more.
In the middle of the night, the crooked moon hides in the dark clouds.
The moonlight was a little dim, and in the pavilion of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yang came to this place alone.
Suddenly, a dark shadow crept in, and the man came behind Yang. This man in black is the person Yang is waiting for.
"Mrs. Yang" the man in black bowed to her.
"How's things going, ghost?" The woman's cold voice rang out.
"I had already managed to break into the room, I thought she was asleep. But I didn't expect that the woman Princess Ming was very cunning, and she used a strange poison to make me feel weak. I was lucky to be able to get out. Xu Ce himself made up a lie to cover up the truth that he was soft-hearted and let go of Mu Lingyun.
"Rubbish! What a rubbish! Yang stretched out his palm and slapped Xu Ce fiercely.
She spent a lot of effort to get the servants to find the best killer in the whole capital for her, but she didn't expect that this ghost was nothing more than that, and she didn't complete this task.
Xu Ce's words made Yang believe that it was true. Just because Xu Ce has been a killer, in order to prevent others from recognizing him, he has been using the name of a ghost, no one knows where he comes from, and no one knows his background, only that he is a master of one to one, and he shoots ruthlessly and kills people without dazzling eyes. Therefore, the Yang family didn't know that the ghost was Xu Ce, and they didn't know that Xu Ce was merciful to Mu Lingyun's subordinates, so the assassination failed.
At this time, Xu Ce covered his beaten cheek, and he lowered his eyes and said, "If there is nothing else, the little one will retire." β
"Wait!" Yang shouted to him again. Xu Ce looked up suddenly.
"What is a single assassination? In this way, you sneak into the Mingwang Mansion and wait for the opportunity to move. I don't require you to be able to successfully kill Mu Lingyun, as long as you get rid of the flesh and bones in her belly, I will be rewarded! Yang suddenly said such a thing, which made Xu Ce unexpected.
The reason why Yang used ghosts again was because she believed in ghosts' martial arts, and she didn't want too many people to know about it. Instead of calling someone else, it's better to continue to use this person.
"This ......," Xu Ce wanted to say and stopped.
"What? Are you scared? Hmph, if you can't be of use to me, then you might pay for it. Yang threatened, she is not such an easy person to offend, and she wants to prevaricate this matter with a sentence of 'miss', which is too naΓ―ve.
"Little Command." Xu Ce had no choice but to agree. People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, he thought to himself, it's just that he unknowingly removed the flesh and blood in Mu Lingyun's abdomen, as long as it doesn't endanger Mu Lingyun's life, this is also a last resort.
"Okay, let's go." Yang's red lips said lightly.
The black shadow disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye, leaving only the Yang family alone, she gritted her teeth and said, "Mu Lingyun, I want you to taste what it is like to be painful." β
In the palace of King Ming.
Mu Lingyun sat on the stone chair, she didn't want to sleep yet, so she sat in the garden to admire the moon. The crooked moon shuttles in the clouds, and the wind blows to bring a trace of coolness. Mu Lingyun suddenly sneezed, she rubbed her nose: "Alas, who is talking about me!" β
"You'd better wear an extra piece of clothing, and be careful of catching a cold." Jin Shaoming took a piece of clothing and draped it on her body.
She is pregnant now, and she can't be careless at all, Jin Shaoming was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he specially took out clothes from the room and took them out for her to wear.
"Okay, I'll take care of it." Mu Lingyun nodded.
Jin Shaoming hesitated, and said with a sad face: "Actually, there is one more thing I haven't told you. β
Mu Lingyun raised her eyebrows and looked at him, she had an ominous premonition in her heart, feeling that what Jin Shaoming wanted to say would not be a good thing, but she couldn't stop her curiosity and asked, "What's the matter?" β
Jin Shaoming frowned and said: "It was during the period when you were not in the Ming Palace, that my father gave me a marriage and asked me to marry Shen Xuerou, the daughter of General Shen, as a concubine. β
He also knew that Mu Lingyun didn't like to hear such things, but she had already returned, and she would know sooner or later, so it was better to let her know now.
"You! Jin Shaoming! Okay, the men are really big pigs' trotters, and they keep saying that they have been looking forward to my return in the past few years, and it turns out that you have already had another woman. Mu Lingyun was emotional for a while, pointed at his nose, and scolded.
"Yun'er, don't be angry, it's not good if you have tire gas." Jin Shaoming hurriedly persuaded, he also knew that Mu Lingyun would have such a reaction, so before, he couldn't help but tell her, didn't even let his subordinates mention this matter, and didn't let Shen Xuerou come to ask Mu Lingyun for peace, but he still said it.
Mu Lingyun grabbed the green jujube on the table, she threw the green jujube on Jin Shaoming's head, and her anger exploded directly on the spot.
"Ahh Madame extinguishes the fire! Jin Shaoming covered his smashed head and begged for mercy. But Mu Lingyun didn't let him go, and another green jujube smashed over.
"I'm just going to beat you, you bad guy!" Mu Lingyun was furious, she thought that Jin Shaoming was infatuated with her, and he still adhered to the oath of the two of them over the years, but he was just like other men, and he was also a big carrot.
Jin Shaoming suddenly grabbed her wrist, pulled her over, and held her in his arms. "Alright, my Yun'er, don't be angry. Although I married Shen Xuerou, I never touched her for a day, let alone smiled at her. I've only loved you all these years. Jin Shaoming hurriedly explained that he didn't want her to have any misunderstanding.
"You don't have to explain, if you marry, you will marry!" Mu Lingyun stared at him with wide eyes, she only believed in the facts in front of her, she felt that she had infinite grievances in her heart.
