Text Chapter 159 It's a mess
"I heard that Ronghua also went to you yesterday?"
Di Chulin took the lead in breaking the silence and said to Situ Yanran.
Hearing the other party's question, Situ Yanran's first feeling in her heart was that Ronghua went to find her yesterday in that arrogant tone, although she was invited to see her birthday banquet, but the almsgiving eyes made her feel angry until now, but after hearing that the other party was assassinated, she couldn't help but applaud in her heart.
However, when she heard Di Chulin's words first, she still tried her best to restrain the joy in her heart, and said with a sad look on her face: "Yes, Ronghua came to find the people's daughter yesterday.
Ronghua She invited the Minnu to tomorrow's banquet, originally she was still good when she was at the Minnu's house, who knew that she would be assassinated just after coming out of the Regent's Palace, oh - the Minnu had no other meaning, that is, she felt that Ronghua died unjustly, and asked His Majesty to be the master of Ronghua. As he spoke, he knelt directly in front of Di Chulin with emotion, and when he raised his head, his eyes were red.
She didn't call the other party Ronghua County Lord, but directly called Ronghua, which invisibly added a sense of intimacy.
Mu Xiaochu on the side was speechless when she saw Hou Ou, as far as she knew, the Lord of Ronghua seemed to have a very bad relationship with her.
As for why he went to her, it is unknown.
But now seeing the other party's style, she felt a pang in her heart, if it weren't for Di Chulin's presence, she thought she would not have the courage to stay here.
Di Chulin seemed to sense Mu Xiaochu's dissatisfaction, and directly waved his hand to let Situ Yanran get up, and said in a tone that was not salty or light: "I know, you get up first." β
"Yes." Situ Yanran got up slowly, and then pretended to be slow when she got up, so that Di Chulin could see the tears in the corners of her eyes, and then she pulled back to her seat aggrievedly.
Qi Ziyan on the side didn't get up, and his tone was casual: "I don't know why His Majesty called us here." β
He didn't even look at Di Chulin, he casually played with the teacup in his hand, and looked at Mu Xiaochu beside him from time to time.
Mu Xiaochu was naturally aware of it, and smiled back when she saw it, but after many times, she also reminded the other party to pay attention to the next occasion with her eyes.
Then there was Qi Ziyan's questioning.
"It's not a big deal, I just want to call a few people over and ask what happened that day." The tone can be said to be quite casual, as if Ronghua's death is just a very ordinary thing in his eyes.
Hearing this tone, Situ Yanran raised her head in shock, but after coming into contact with Di Chulin's cold extension, she shivered, and pretended to be naΓ―ve and asked, "Your Majesty, do you know who wants to harm Ronghua?" Obviously, yesterday the folk girl was discussing with Ronghua when to be her sister-in-law, but I didn't expect Ronghua to be ...... just one night Something unexpected happened. β
"Poof-" Mu Xiaochu couldn't help but spit out the tea in his mouth directly, and after seeing that everyone's eyes fell on her, he waved his hand and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, you continue, continue, don't care about me." β
Qi Ziyan beside her escaped from her arms with a handkerchief, gently wiped the tea stains left at the corners of her mouth, and said helplessly: "Drinking tea is still as frizzy as a child." β
Mu Xiaochu knew that he was at a loss and didn't speak because of Qi Ziyan's actions, but Situ Yanran on the side saw this, and wanted to scold, do you still have the existence of Your Majesty in your eyes, you dare to be so rude in front of Your Majesty!
However, when Situ Yanran looked up at Di Chulin, she found that the other party's eyes showed the same worry as Qi Ziyan, she was shocked, and an idea popped up, but she quickly rejected it.
How could it be, Mu Xiaochu will marry the regent in a month, besides, even if Mu Xiaochu is not married, she still has the title of future crown princess on her head.
No, she must have thought wrong.
Mu Xiaochu: Hey, it's been so long, and they haven't entered the topic yet, and if they continue like this, they all suspect that the other party is asking them to come over for tea, although the tea here is a little better.
Oh - no, it's not tea, it's a sweet drink, and although I don't know how the other person did it, it's really delicious.
After Qi Ziyan saw it, he said, "Since Your Majesty is fine now, the minister will leave first." As he spoke, he was going to take Mu Xiaochu away.
Then it wasn't until his hand was grabbed that Mu Xiaochu raised his head and asked, "Leaving so soon?" β
"If Miss Mu doesn't want to leave, you can also take it with you in the palace for a while longer, the good things in the palace are not only the drink you drink now."
This time it was Mu Xiaochu who said, "No need, there are also a lot of good things in the Regent's Palace." β
As soon as she finished speaking, she got up, "Then we'll leave first." β
Coming to the capital was Mu Xiaochu's etiquette for a period of time, and as time went by, he basically returned it to the teacher.
So what she says and does now is very casual, no, it is not ordinary casual, but quite casual, especially when she heard what Mu Xiaochu said to Di Chulin, Situ Yanran's expression can no longer be described as surprised, it can be said that she is a hell.
When did Your Majesty become so good-tempered that he could allow people to use honorifics?
It's better to say that the other party is the regent, but what is she Mu Xiaochu, she is just a stinky girl from the countryside, why did she get such preferential treatment!
However, the jealous Situ Yanran forgot one thing, that is, in addition to Mu Xiaochu being a girl from the countryside and the future princess regent, he also had a title that was not inferior to the regent - the head of the Murong Mansion.
Seeing that the other party was really leaving, Di Chulin cursed in his heart, and his face became normal; "Waitβ"
Then he said to the eunuch outside: "Bring that maid in." β
Soon, a person dressed as a maid was led in by a little eunuch, and when the other party saw the emperor, he knelt directly in front of him and cried, "Please Your Majesty be the master of the county, the county lord was kind enough to invite Miss Mu and come to be a guest, but as soon as he came out of her, he encountered an accident...... Poofβ"
The maid was kicked away by Qi Ziyan, her tone was cold, and she asked coldly, "You mean that Ronghua was murdered by Xiao Chu?" β
After the maid was kicked away by Qi Ziyan, she fell directly to the ground, exhaled, and it took a long time to react, and she explained eagerly, "The slave didn't mean that, the slave just stated the facts." β
The tone is neither humble nor arrogant, like a faithful protector of the Lord.
But when Situ Yanran saw the maid, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak, because she remembered that the maid who accompanied Ran Ronghua that day was not the ......
Don't ask how she found out, if it weren't for the arrogance of the maid who relied on her errand by Ronghua's side, she wouldn't have remembered a lowly maid.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Emperor Chulin asked, "Do you know how your master was assassinated?" β
Di Chulin's words were like a savior, and the maid said with tears in her eyes: "Back to Your Majesty, our county lord was assassinated after seeing Miss Mu, as for how he was assassinated, the slave maid didn't know, because the slave was stunned by the assassin at the time, so I don't know." β
Mu Xiaochu, who was about to leave, asked, "You said you were stunned." β
"Yes." The maid replied with a sincere face.
"Oh-"
The maid who has prepared a lot of wording, "......"
Mu Xiaochu didn't understand what Di Chulin wanted to do, since he called the maid over, why didn't he just ask and stop care.
And if he looked at himself with a gaze that was not so obvious, he felt the cold air of Qi Ziyan beside him.
Mu Xiaochu didn't dodge the other party's eyes when he saw him, he pretended to look at the other party fiercely, and then ...... Then the other person smiled when he saw her.
After Qi Ziyan saw it, his whole body was instantly cold, and his eyes looked at Di Chulin with fierceness, and the other party looked back without showing weakness.
Just as Qi Ziyan was about to rush forward, Mu Xiaochu patted the back of the other party's hand with his other idle hand.
Qi Ziyan eased up, and then didn't look at Emperor Chulin, and directly pulled Mu Xiaochu away.
"Stop!" Di Chulin said in a short tone.
However, Qi Ziyan didn't listen to him, but moved faster and pulled people away.
After passing by Situ Yanran's side, his footsteps stopped slightly, glanced at the other party, but quickly left.
"I told you to stop, didn't you hear, Qi Ziyan-" Looking at Qi Ziyan, who didn't listen to him at all, Di Chulin was really angry this time.
Then Qi Ziyan only turned around and said, "The minister still has something to do, so I won't bother Your Majesty, as for the matter of the Lord of Ronghua, the minister will definitely give Your Majesty a reasonable explanation." β
"You are bold! Come on, stop them for me! Di Chulin said to the secret guard hiding in the shadows. β
Soon, a lot of people appeared in the study room of a few people.
They surrounded Mu Xiaochu and Qi Ziyan, and one of them stepped forward and said, "Regent, I'm offended." After speaking, he quickly stepped forward to attack.
Qi Ziyan was not to be outdone, holding Mu Xiaochu's hand with one hand, and his movements were still agile to fight back.
After seeing this scene, Situ Yanran didn't know what to say.
Why did things turn out the way they did?
Obviously, they came to cooperate with the assassination of Lord Ronghua.
However, in her eyes, this scene is not a scene of His Majesty trying to catch people who do not cooperate with work, but a drama of two strong men and one woman.
With this cognitive source in his heart, Situ Yanran's eyes were full of jealous flames.
Seeing Mu Xiaochu become more and more unpleasant.
The hands hidden in the sleeves were clenched tightly, and the long nails pierced the palms of the hands.
When the dark guard fought with Qi Ziyan, although the opponent had a large number, Qi Ziyan was not at a disadvantage, but had a bigger and more powerful posture.
Unwilling to accept Mu Xiaochu receiving such treatment, Situ Yanran pursed her lips, was ruthless, and stepped forward and said: "Don't fight, everyone, let's talk about something after we do it." β
As he spoke, he moved little by little towards the place where he was fighting.
And the strange thing is that the other party didn't accidentally hurt Situ Yanran's actions at all, as for Qi Ziyan, there were a few times, but in the end they were blocked by the secret guards.
When Situ Yanran saw this, she knew that it was instructed by Di Chulin, and she felt that she still had a certain status in Di Chulin's heart.
Unconsciously, the movement was a little faster than before, and when he was only a short distance away from Qi Ziyan, one of the secret guards actually spilled white powder directly.
The study turned white in an instant.
And Qi Ziyan was also dazzled in white, and let go of Mu Xiaochu's hand in an instant, and soon grabbed it again.
