055. Transfiguration
The white light, the frost-like moonlight shines down, cool and soaked, but it is still a dazzling brightness, as if the light that has accumulated for several lifetimes, and the grass is printed with the branches and shadows of the trees, meandering, swaying with the wind, a night in the sky and on earth.
In the early morning, the sky has just revealed a glimmer of the sun's rays, and the distant peaks are still looming in the verdant smoke, and the mountain fog is as misty as silk.
After Mu Wanqing woke up, she saw her embarrassed appearance, and hurriedly got up and tidied up her clothes, the broken grass stuck to her clothes, she also carefully brushed it off, the broken grass sprinkled on Huo Chen's face, sour and itchy, even if he didn't want to wake up, he still opened his eyes.
Seeing Mu Wanqing lowering her eyes, picking at the broken grass on the green silk, and the golden sunlight jumping on her body, he couldn't help but smile slightly, since Chu Qing had already found out that there was a suspicion, then the person who killed the concubine was probably not her, and when he went back, he would definitely find out who the real murderer was.
The morning sun shone brightly, and the dew on the grass tips quietly rolled down, and the crystal light flashed and disappeared.
When the two returned to the small thatched hut hand in hand, Uncle Mo was drying medicinal herbs outside, and when he saw the two coming back, he smiled ambiguously and said, "Oh, what a spring night." ”
Uncle Mo said this, which made Mu Wanqing blush.
There was a stumbling among the leaves, and Huo Chen looked at the other side of the forest vigilantly, protecting Mu Wanqing and Uncle Mo.
In an instant, a group of people rushed out of the woods, brushing and surrounding them, and their movements were uniform.
Huo Chen pursed his lips, his eyes swept lightly.
Those people immediately knelt down: "Lord Wang! ”
"It's finally here." Huo Chen's eyes swept over Chu Qing's face, and his indifferent tone was with a sense of majesty.
Chu Qing lowered his head and said, "It's too late!" Please forgive me! ”
Huo Chen waved his hand.
As a dozen horses galloped together, the sound of horses' hooves shook the valley.
After living quietly here for so many days, and finally leaving, Mu Wanqing was reluctant to do so, but Uncle Mo said: "When your little husband divorces you, come to the master, and the master will support you for a lifetime." ”
Mu Wanqing pulled the reins and shed tears on the horseback.
Coming out of the woods, after countless detours, I finally returned to the capital.
At this time, it was evening, and the sun was setting, pulling the shadows of the old elders.
Mu Yirou received the news and immediately rushed to the gate of the palace, but what she saw was this scene.
Huo Chen's hand was on Mu Wanqing's waist, helping her to dismount, so ambiguous, in the sunset, the two seemed to be a match made in heaven.
Why is Mu Wanqing still here? Why stay by his side.
No matter how much pain she felt in her heart, Mu Yirou still smiled and walked up to Huo Chen: "Lord Wang, you are finally back." ”
Huo Chen looked at Mu Yirou's haggard face, knowing that she had been worried about herself for a long time, he nodded: "I've worked hard for you these past few days." ”
Mu Yirou shook her head, tears also spilled with her head, and she choked: "It's good that the prince is back." ”
After Huo Chen returned to Tonghuaju, he asked someone to be sent into the palace to report his safety to the emperor.
He washed away the fatigue of his body, and at this time, Mu Yirou had already asked people to prepare dinner, and the delicacies on the table made Huo Chen's appetite greater.
Huo Chen picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up a piece of meat, but he stopped and asked Gui Xin: "Gui Xin, go and see how Mu Wanqing is, she just came back, and Zhi Ning has not come back to serve her." ”
Gui Xin smiled slightly and retreated.
And the smile on Mu Yirou's face was a little stiff, it seemed that after this battle, Huo Chen and Mu Wanqing's relationship had grown greatly, and what she was most worried about finally happened.
"Lord Wang......" Mu Yirou wanted to speak and stopped.
Huo Chen looked at Mu Yirou and asked her to continue.
"Does the prince have a clue, who wants to assassinate the prince?"
"This still has to be checked." It stands to reason that when he went out of the city in the middle of the night, no one should know who got the news so quickly and sent a killer.
"Have you ever thought about it, it's all a bureau?" Mu Yirou said softly.
Huo Chen raised his eyebrows: "What do you say?" ”
"First of all, my sister pretended to be missing, but in fact, she had expected that the prince would chase her out of the city, so she had arranged a killer in secret, and my sister must have conspired with her father, otherwise how could the plan be so perfect."
"Enough!" Huo Chen shouted, he dropped his chopsticks and had no appetite to eat any more.
Mu Yirou trembled, unexpectedly touching Huo Chen's bottom line.
"You don't have to guess, this king will find out." Huo Chen said in a deep voice, Mu Wanqing also shot arrows and designed a trap to harm him, one arrow is enough, she can not go around so much.
"Yes." Mu Yirou responded, but she was worried in her heart, she was afraid that Huo Chen would find out, and she was afraid that Huo Chen would know that the person who reported the news was actually her. She was full of thoughts, but quietly retreated.
After Huo Chen finished dinner, Chu Qing came in to report.
"Do you know who it is?" Huo Chen touched the edge of the teacup.
"It's the Queen's Mother."
Huo Chen's hand paused and looked at Chu Qing: "Is it her?" ”
"It's the Black Wind Iron Cavalry sent by the Queen Mother, although the Queen Mother has destroyed the body, but her subordinates have gone to the military camp to investigate, and there must be no mistake." Chu Qing said, "Lord, if we go out of the city in the middle of the night, it stands to reason that it will not reach the queen's ears for so long, unless there are spies in the palace!" ”
Huo Chen frowned, put down the teacup, and his dark eyes were like midnight: "Who do you think it is?" ”
Chu Qing lowered his head: "My subordinates don't know." ”
Is it her?
As Rou'er said, could it have been deployed a long time ago? They devise a trap just waiting for him to jump out of the trap?
How so? If Mu Wanqing wanted to kill herself, then why save him.
"Chu Qing, the matter of the concubine is ......" Huo Chen remembered what Chu Qing said that night, "But there are also guards who have seen her enter and leave the palace, what you have found is correct?" ”
"The subordinates have carefully investigated, and those little beggars shouldn't be able to lie, but with such a smile, there are two Mrs. Mu, one is taking Concubine De out of the palace, and the other is with the beggar." The more Chu Qing thought about it, the more strange it became, and at the same time, on the eighth day of the third month, Mu Wanqing should not know any witchcraft, how could she know the art of doppelganger.
Huo Chen pondered for a moment, and countless possibilities flashed in his head, this could also be that Mu Wanqing misled Chu Qing, there is another person in the world who can do this kind of thing.
"Fox Hill!" Chu Qing and Huo Chen spoke at the same time.
"Today, the one who is good at disguise is Fox Hill!" Huo Chen said, "The human skin mask he made is simply leaky, and it can be called a must." ”
Chu Qing also thought of this possibility and said, "But Fox Hill has disappeared for a long time, and many people say that he is dead. ”
"How can you believe the rumors in the rivers and lakes. As long as there is a little clue, it must be pursued, and this king vows to Zhaoxue for his mother! Huo Chen's eyes flashed with determination, and at the same time, he also wanted to know if the person who killed his mother was Mu Wanqing!
