Chapter 199: Don't Annoy Your Husband
It turns out that he also has warmth, but this kind of warmth is only available to the little girl of the Mo family.
This reminded her of General Yun, and his gentleness was all left to the eldest princess.
Seeing Mo Li lift the hem of her skirt and run over happily, Mama Liu blessed Murong Chu and quickly disappeared into the courtyard gate.
The next day, Murong Chu personally led two hundred Praetorian Guards to escort the eldest princess back to the city, and the journey was naturally smooth, and the eldest princess was sent back to the mansion before noon.
Mo Jinhua and Duan's got the letter, and when Mo Li arrived home, the two had been waiting at the gate of the mansion for a long time.
Seeing Mo Li get out of the carriage safe and sound, the husband and wife breathed a sigh of relief.
Murong Chu hurried to the palace to report to the emperor, as long as he said hello at the door, he didn't follow him into the mansion.
Back to Ruolixuan, Mo Li first told her brother and sister-in-law about the eldest princess accepting her as a righteous daughter.
Hearing this, the Duan family frowned and asked: "How many ladies in this capital are beautiful, none of them have been able to enter the eyes of the eldest princess, is it a good thing for our Xi'er this time?" β
Mo Jinhua didn't expect such a thing, he thought about it in his heart, and said, "Since the eldest princess has spoken, then I can only respond." You, who are sisters-in-law, are busy again, hurry up and prepare, don't lose your courtesy. β
Duan knew that the brother and sister had something to say, so they hurriedly retreated and arranged the things needed for the bowing ceremony.
"What does Xi'er think about this?" Mo Jinhua waited for Duan to leave and asked.
Mo Li recounted his conversations with the eldest princess one by one, and then said his own analysis.
Mo Jinhua nodded: "Xi'er is reasonable, Murong Chu was cultivated by General Mengyun when he was a teenager, and he and his husband are very familiar with each other. He led the army to break through the northern project, which can be regarded as avenging General Yun. The eldest princess is a person of great affection, and this alone will not be unfavorable to the two of you. β
"However, this must also be based on Murong Chu's loyalty to Da Zhou, on the contrary, the first one who will not spare him is the eldest princess, and you are the bargaining chip to restrain Murong Chu."
"Brother, don't worry, don't you know what Murong Chu is thinking?" Mo Li smiled lightly.
Mo Jinhua knew that his sister had an idea now, so he put his mind at ease: "This is very good, in this way, your worth will naturally rise, and the people of the Bac Ninh Royal Mansion will not dare to despise you." β
"Brother, there's something I still haven't figured out." Mo Li pondered for a moment, but still voiced his doubts, "Who is the assassin you met on Longfu Mountain this time aimed at?" β
"What did Murong Chu say?" Mo Jinhua asked rhetorically.
"I heard him tell the eldest princess that the Xiangzhu Garden was sealed, and all the people, including the evidence, were handed over to the Dali Temple for disposal. When I asked him later, he only told me that the Assassins had been caught, and nothing else. Mo Li frowned slightly.
Mo Jinhua has been in the capital, of course he knows about the closure of Xiangzhuyuan, but there must be things that cannot be known to outsiders, Murong Chu does not say it, it is also a kind of protection for his sister, he naturally has no need to talk more.
So he said: "No matter who the assassin's target is, after all, it is the eldest princess's driver, and this alone is enough to punish the nine clans." β
"Can't my brother tell me the truth?" Mo Li complained.
Mo Jinhua laughed twice: "Xi'er, it's not that my brother doesn't tell you the truth, but I really don't know the details. Besides, Murong Chu will take care of everything, and there is no need for your little girl's family to get involved. β
Mo Li pursed his lips: "I know that you are one or two, and you are all like this." β
"He doesn't tell you, it's for your own good. But don't be petty. Don't annoy your husband before you even pass through the door. Mo Jinhua laughed.
Mo Li's face turned red, and he was disgusted: "My brother also came to make fun of me and ignore you!" β
Mo Jinhua laughed, although his sister has been very different from before this year, but after all, she is still a child.
"Listen to your sister-in-law, Danyu will be raised for a few more days, although Ruoping's injury is not a big problem, but she can't serve you alone, go back and let your sister-in-law pick a few more people to come over."
"No need, I'm not used to others, there are still grandmothers and rough girls in the yard, just a few days, and when Danyu is ready, let her come over." In less than two months, he will marry into the Bac Ninh Palace, and Mo Li doesn't want to recruit people from Ruolixuan.
"It's up to you." Mo Jinhua didn't insist anymore, "You rest first and take care of your body." I sent someone to the eldest princess's mansion to deliver a greeting post, and I, as an elder brother, have to pay a visit first. β
β¦β¦
In the imperial study, Murong Chu replied to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the minister has sent the eldest princess back to the mansion."
Although the emperor was in a strong spirit, he could not hide his haggard look: "Well, it's good to come back." The eldest princess wants to accept Miss Mo as a righteous daughter, and Lian already knows. β
"The eldest princess is alone, and she has no heirs under her knees, and I hope that after you marry Miss Mo Jia, you will do your filial piety under the knees of the eldest princess."
"Your Majesty will follow your Majesty's teachings." Murong Chu responded respectfully.
The emperor suddenly changed his words: "The assassin incident of Longfu Mountain this time really shocked me, I don't know what General Murong thinks about this?" β
"Please forgive the emperor, this matter has been handed over to Dali Temple, and the minister does not dare to discuss it."
"According to the report of Dali Siqing, the assassin is from Xiangzhu Garden, do you know about this Xiangzhu Garden?"
"Back to the emperor, the minister has not been in the capital for many years, and he didn't know that there was such a fragrant bamboo garden. At first glance, I thought it was a place of fireworks. Murong Chu replied.
"Come and see this." The emperor picked up a booklet from the dragon book case, and the chamberlain on the side hurriedly took it and handed it to Murong Chu.
This booklet Murong Chu is no stranger, it is one of the account books of Xiangzhuyuan.
However, he still opened the booklet, looked at it carefully, and at the same time showed a look of surprise: "Your Majesty, this ......"
"This is exactly the account book of Xiangzhuyuan." The emperor said, "Xiangzhuyuan is indeed a trick house, but there is an ulterior business behind it. β
"Your Majesty, how can there be such a thing at the feet of the Son of Heaven? Could it be that someone is deliberately confusing? Murong Chu asked tentatively.
The emperor raised his eyes and looked at Murong Chu, and suddenly a smile of unknown meaning overflowed on his lips: "It was General Murong's future mother-in-law and fiancΓ©e who were assassinated this time, doesn't General Murong want to find out who is behind this scene?" β
Murong Chu bowed and saluted: "The minister hates the person who commanded the person behind the scenes, but this matter is not the minister's duty, and the minister does not dare to overstep it." I believe that Your Majesty will make a conclusion and will not let the murderer go unpunished. β
"Well, I have my own opinions, General Murong has worked hard in recent days, step down." The emperor waved his hand.
Murong Chu didn't understand, this was the emperor's temptation of him, and he wanted to know how much he knew about this matter and what kind of attitude he had.
