"Who!"

A dark figure slowly stepped out of the woods behind him.

Su Muge was stunned after seeing the other party's face clearly.

"You...... Lord Xia? ”

Xiahou Mo's dark eyes swept her up and down, as if to determine whether she was injured or not.

"You're going to be a big deal."

Su Muge blinked. "Haqiu!"

She rubbed her nose, it was really a little cold.

Half an hour later, Su Muge and Xiahou Mo sat opposite each other by the fire.

Su Muge's body was still dripping, and the wind in the forest was blowing on her body so cold that she shivered.

Xia Houmo looked at her eyes that were so white that her lips were frozen that her dark eyes sank, and she stood up and walked over to her and pulled her up.

"Eh, what are you doing!?"

Su Muge was pulled by him, looked down again, and found that the slender thug was undressing her!

"You, you, you don't even let go of me, it's just madness!"

Su Muge struggled, but where was she Xiahou Mo's opponent, but in the blink of an eye, she was stripped to only a pink middle coat.

Xiahou Mo glanced at the slightly bulging xiaolongbao on her chest, her eyes flashed, and the movement of her hand paused to push her behind a big tree,

Su Muge exclaimed in surprise before he could say anything, and a robe with someone's strong aura was covered with his head.

"Take it off, put it on."

Su Muge was so angry that he tore off his robe and threw it on the ground, stomping on it fiercely.

Is...... Angry people!

Why did he think she would do what he said?

"Haqiu!"

When a gust of wind came, Su Muge trembled, lowered his eyes and looked at the robe on the ground and gritted his teeth.

After a while, she squatted down and grabbed it fiercely, so that she didn't have trouble with her body!

After Su Muge came out with Xiahou Mo's robe, he hung the middle coat he had taken off on a branch to dry.

The clothes on the fire held up a barrier, just separating Su Muge from Xiahou Mo.

Xiahou Mo sat at the other end, and didn't seem to have any intention of coming over.

Su Muge snorted in his heart, even if he is not hateful to the end!

What happened in the painting boat today seemed to be premeditated, and the person who wanted to sink her to the bottom of the water was afraid that he was not targeting her alone.

She has been in the capital for more than a month, and she has hardly been out of Su Mansion, and the only conflicts with her are the eighth princess and An's mother and daughter.

Not to mention that it is unlikely that the eighth princess would use this method to find her angry at the banquet she held, but the An mother and daughter did not have the ability to make such a big battle.

At that time, the people on the painting boat were either rich or expensive, and they could not easily afford to offend.

So this matter is by no means against her alone.

"Why is Lord Xia here?" This Xiahou Mo always appears in some inexplicable places, whether it is a coincidence or an inevitability.

Xiahou Mo was through his dress, and he could vaguely see Su Muge curled up opposite.

Suddenly, I felt that the clothes in front of me were too much of a hindrance.

"Someone set off fireworks in Mingyue Lake, alarming the forbidden army in the city." Fireworks have been prevalent in the Chu State for several years, but because someone almost burned the entire street because of fireworks during the reign of the first emperor, the first emperor ordered to control the number of fireworks.

In other words, you may not be able to buy this thing even if you have money, and you can only sell it for a certain amount during certain festivals.

Now that there is no festival, suddenly someone sets off fireworks by the lake, which will naturally attract the attention of the forbidden army.

When Su Muge heard this, he thought that Xiahou Mo was the commander of the forbidden army in the capital!

If you have military power outside, you will also have power inside!

"Someone wants to paint the lives of the people on the boat."

"How do you know?"

"After the folk girl fell into the water, someone desperately grabbed the folk girl's feet so that the folk girl could not go ashore, intending to drown the folk girl."

Hearing this, Xiahou's ink eyes swirled a dark color.

"You're a big deal."

Xiahou Mo suddenly stood up and walked towards the woods behind him.

Donglin walked over from the other side of the forest.

"The prince caught two, five died, and one ran away."

Xiahou Mo stood with his hands in his hands. "Pry open those two live mouths."

"Yes."

When Xiahou Mo walked back again, Su Muge had already changed his dry dress.

"Thank you, Lord Xia, for coming to the rescue." She folded the robe and handed it to him, but Xiahou Mo glanced at it but didn't answer.

"Keep it for yourself."

Su Muge choked, this is disgusted that she has passed through!

"The official asked someone to send you back."

Su Muge was also worried about the situation over there, after all, Yueru was still waiting on the shore.

"Thank you, sir."

Xiahou Mo glanced at her and hooked his lips slightly. "No, the official will come back."

“……”

After getting out of the woods, Xiahou Mo asked Zuoqiu to send Su Muge to Su Mansion, but Su Muge was worried about Yueru's situation, no matter how she had to come back to Mingyue Lake, she even did not hesitate to jump out of the car.

Zuoqiu couldn't, so he could only take her there.

The edge of Mingyue Lake was already surrounded by forbidden troops, and from a distance, Su Muge smelled a smell of blood.

As soon as I leaned over, I saw corpses lined up on the shore.

"Miss, Miss! The slave has found you! Su Muge was about to find someone, when she saw Yueru running towards her, her eyes were red from crying.

Su Muge saw that she was fine, and she also exhaled.

"I was rescued by the forbidden army, it's okay, you were on the shore at the time, can you see what happened?"

Yueru wiped her tears and said: "At that time, the slave maid saw that the painting boat was on fire and wanted to find the young lady, but at this time, where were there so many boats, the slave and maid could only wait on the shore, and then heard that someone was still dead, and the slave and maid panicked, and hurriedly asked Xinche to go back and inform the lady that she had been looking for the young lady on the shore." ”

Su Muge looked at those corpses, many of them were dressed very well, I don't know which lady or young master of the mansion it is.

"Let's go back first."

"Yes."

After Su Muge returned to Su Mansion, she knew that Su Jingwen had been sent back, but she seemed to be frightened a lot, and An also invited a doctor.

The movement was so loud, the Zhao family was naturally shocked, and Su Muge pulled her as soon as she came back.

"Mother heard that there was an accident on the Moon Lake, and I saw that you haven't come back, but my mother is worried."

"It was really dangerous at the time, and my daughter almost died in the water, but fortunately, she came back safely." Now that she has arrived in the capital, Su Muge doesn't plan to pick everything and tell the Zhao family, she should have a certain amount of tolerance.

Sure enough, Zhao's face changed when he heard this.

"It's so dangerous! Amitabha, the Buddha blessed me Mu Mu is fine, and after a while, I followed my mother to the Buddha and followed the incense on the pillar. ”

Su Muge couldn't smile bitterly.

……

Imperial Palace, inside the Imperial Study.

Xiahou Rui sat on the dragon chair, one hand in front of his forehead, and a pair of hoarfrost-stained brows were furrowed.

Xiahou Kun bowed slightly and stood in the room. "Father, a total of fifteen people died in the Mingyue Lake case this time, eight of them were family members of court officials, and the rest were accompanying slaves."

After speaking, Xiahou Kun glanced at Xiahou Rui, and saw that he didn't open his mouth and could only continue: "These people are inevitably too bold, and they dare to commit murder in the capital in broad daylight!" If Erchen is not mistaken, the Praetorian Guards on the Ninth Brother's side should send additional men to patrol Mingyue Lake. ”

After the words fell, Xia Hourui finally opened his eyes. "Are you saying that the consequence of this is the fault of your ninth brother?"

Xiahou Kun hurriedly lowered his head. "The son is just telling the truth, and I hope my father will see it."

At this time, Grandpa Yi walked into the house.

"Your Majesty, King Jin has arrived."

"Let him in."

"Yes."

After a while, Xiahou Mo walked into the house.

"See Father."

"All the people arrested on Mingyue Lake have been tried?"

"When the retainer interrogated the men in black, he found that there was a mark on the soles of their feet." Xiahou Mo took out a drawing from his body, and Gonggong Yi stepped forward to take it and put it in front of the dragon case.

Xia Hourui opened his eyes and saw that there was a mark of a crescent moon painted on it.

Xiahou Rui had a touch of anger on his face and threw the drawings at Xiahou Kun's feet. "You tell me, what is this?!"

Xiahou Kun was a little puzzled at first, and when he squatted down and picked up the drawings, his pupils shrank sharply.

"Father, this ...... Son's ......"

"Sometimes I turn a blind eye to something, but that doesn't mean I don't know what you've done!"

Xiahou Kun knelt down with a "snap".

The graphics on the drawings are the marks of his secret guards!

"Father and Emperor are aware that the son is wronged! What's the benefit of the retainers killing those young masters and young ladies? This is clearly someone who wants to frame his sons! ”

As he spoke, Xiahou Kun glared at Xiahou Mo, it must be him!

Xiahou Rui's eyes narrowed, and he snorted coldly before turning to Xiahou Mo. "What happened?"

Xiahou Mo lowered his eyes. "I only said that the people above them wanted to draw the life of the young master and young lady, and they didn't let go of any of them."

"Bang!"

"Presumptuous!"

Xiahou Rui slammed his palm on the desk, making a dull sound.

When Xiahou Kun heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and could only grit his teeth and say: "Father, although the ninth brother said that those people have the mark of the son's secret guard, this does not rule out the possibility that someone framed the son, and asked the father to believe that the son's minister gave the son-in-law a chance to prove his innocence." ”

Xiahou Rui looked at Xiahou Kun with a somewhat dark expression.

"Okay, I give you this opportunity, if you can't prove your innocence, you won't have to see me."

“！！”

"Yes, the retainer is commanded." Xiahou Kun clenched his fists.

"Stand down."

"The retainers retired."

Xiahou Kun left with a belly full of anger, and only Xiahou Mo and Xiahou Rui were left in the study.

"Say what you think."

"That mark is too obvious." There are many families in the capital who will also raise dark guards, and these dark guards will have unique marks on their bodies, but these marks will be temporarily erased with potions when they go out on a mission, and they will definitely not leave any handles.

Besides, no matter how you look at this matter, it won't be of much benefit to Xiahou Kun, and it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he is not so stupid.

"You mean, the person wasn't sent by your second brother?"

"Erchen didn't dare to make a conclusion until he found out."

Xia Hourui seemed to chuckle. "I know that you have always been a steady and calm person, you watch this time, let your second brother find a way to prove his innocence."

"Yes." Xiahou Mo's complexion remained unchanged.
