Talking about the situation of the emperor and the queen, Mu Zhaolin was shocked, like Mu Xuefu, he couldn't believe that the queen mother, who had always been weak, dared to do something to dominate the government. Mu Zhaolin believes that someone must be operating behind her back, otherwise she doesn't have the courage to think so thoroughly.

Mu Xuefu heard from Mu Zemao that Mu Zhaolin had taken a new concubine in the past two years, and he doted on her very much, and arranged for her to live in the Yufu Pavilion where Mu Xuefu lived before. Since he was idle at home, Mu Zhaolin didn't ask about the affairs of the house, and only served with the concubine in the Yufu Pavilion, and it was not easy for Shen Ruoshui to see him.

And with this concubine, he no longer values the rights he was obsessed with before. But hearing this, Mu Xuefu was very shocked, and she was also full of curiosity about that woman, and really wanted to see how attractive she was, so that the power-leaning Zuo Xiang was willing to give up his power and live with her idle clouds.

Outside the window, the sound of cicadas chirped and the stars fluttered, making the night even more silent. Mu Xuefu sat by the window, with a touch of irritability in her heart, Luo Fan shook gently, but she still couldn't disperse, "How do you think of resigning and retiring?" ”

Mu Zhaolin smiled faintly and said abruptly: "I just chose to leave at the right time." The emperor is already able to take charge on his own, and he doesn't need my support. It's just that I didn't expect it, but it gave people a chance to take advantage of! ”

After retiring successfully, Mu Xuefu knew in her heart that her father was framed because he did not retire as soon as possible, so it aroused Jing Lingcang's suspicion. Now Mu Zhaolin takes it as a warning, for fear that she will end up in the same fate as her father if she doesn't know the truth that the bird is good and the bow is hidden.

"How long has it been since Zuo Xiang entered the palace?" Jing Rong didn't speak, but he kept looking at Mu Zhaolin. Yes, he saved Mu Xuefu and raised her, he should also be grateful, but I don't know why Mu Zhaolin always gave him a sinister and cunning feeling, which made him repulse, so he called Mu Zhaolin the left minister from beginning to end.

The candle shadow shook red, and the flickering candlelight shrouded Mu Zhaolin's slightly tired face, "I haven't entered the palace for half a year, and the last time I entered the palace was the emperor's birthday, but I also met the queen in a hurry." He blamed himself slightly, frowning, "It's also my neglect, I thought that the emperor could be alone, but who knew that there would still be wolf ambitions to covet." ”

Jing Rong asked again: "Wanxi was ordered by the queen to ask for help like Zuo Xiang, doesn't Zuo Xiang know?" ”

"What? Wanxi to find me? Mu Zhaolin looked dazed, and his brows condensed deeper, "The men in the mansion have not reported this matter, if it is someone from the palace, they dare not hide it, not to mention that there is no one in the mansion who does not know Wanxi." ”

There was a sparkle in Jing Rong's eyes, "Wanxi is dead, and she was found on the outskirts of Beijing." ”

"Dead?" Mu Zhaolin's face turned white for a moment, and the hand holding Jing Mu was loosened, and she almost fell out of her arms, "That must be murder, the Queen Mother found out about Wanxi's whereabouts, and was afraid that she would find me, so I killed her on the way out of the palace." He was worried, "I don't know what will happen to Rong'er in the palace." ”

"I'm also very worried about Sister Yurong, so I think-" Mu Xuefu was just halfway through her words when she was intercepted by Jing Rong, "so we want to let Xiangye enter the palace first, see the situation of the emperor and the queen, and then take action." This is a big deal and we cannot act rashly. ”

Mu Xuefu glanced at Jing Rong and did not squeak.

"Hmm." Mu Zhaolin bowed, "It's still King Chen's thoughtfulness, this matter really can't be reckless." He stopped, pondered for a moment, and said: "The identity of the prince must be careful in Beijing, I will enter the palace early tomorrow morning to see what is going on, and also to see what Tai Chi the Queen Mother is doing." ”

After talking for a while, Mu Zhaolin left from the back door of Mingyin Building before dawn.

Who knew that less than an hour after leaving, Mu Xuefu and the others had just fallen asleep, when they heard a "bang" knock on the door outside, and when they listened carefully, it seemed that there were many people surrounding outside.

Mu Xuefu slept lightly and woke up as soon as there was movement. Jing Rong was also awakened by the sound, lifted the curtain and got out of bed to the window, he didn't open the window, just looked down through the gap in the eaves, and when he saw it clearly, he was shocked and hurriedly said: "Fu'er, there are a large number of officers and soldiers below." He narrowed his eyes and argued seriously, seeing the person in charge clearly, "It was Mu Junsheng who brought people." ”

"He's probably not going to be good." Mu Xuefu followed him closely, and looked down, there were two floors downstairs, about a hundred or so people, each with a sword in his hand, and some with bows and arrows.

Immediately after that, I heard a shout, "Open the door!" Open the door! Open the door! ”

Jiang Yueyao also heard the movement on her side, she went downstairs to open the door, looked at the officers and soldiers who were blocking the door, raised her eyebrows, and said, "What kind of law did we commit in Mingyinlou to dispatch so many people?" ”

"What law did you violate?" Mu Junsheng held a torch in his hand, took a look at Jiang Yueyao's body, and looked at it carefully. Seeing Jiang Yueyao's beauty, she smiled lightly and said, "The little lady is the head of this Mingyin Building?" ”

"What? Not like? This unscrupulous gaze annoyed Jiang Yueyao, and she leaned against the door, "Don't talk nonsense, what does this group of people mean by blocking our door?" We are a legitimate restaurant business, there is no tax evasion and no leakage, if such a posture frightens my customers, are you responsible? ”

Mu Junwei leaned towards Jiang Yueyao's side, looking prodigal, "How do you want me to be responsible?" ”

Looking at this close to her face, Jiang Yueyao felt sick to her stomach, and her hand waved on Mu Junyao's face, "Responsible?" Okay, then I'll slap you both! ”

Mu Junwei took a few steps back, thinking that she was really going to slap herself, and was furious, "I'll tell you, don't toast or eat and drink!" Someone reported that King Chen returned to Beijing without an edict, and he hid it with you, if you know each other, you should hand it over quickly. Otherwise—"

Jiang Yueyao has never been afraid of other people's threats, in the face of Mu Junjiao, she can pinch him to death like an ant as long as she moves, and she doesn't care about it at all.

She glanced at him contemptuously, "Or what? ”

Mu Junwei pointed to her nose, "Otherwise, I will make you look good!" I'm telling you, you won't be able to escape even if you harbor criminals! If you know each other, hurry up and hand them over! Master, I am magnanimous, so I will not pursue you, otherwise, let me catch someone and end up with you. ”

Jiang Yueyao had a spicy temperament, and "spitted" on the ground, "I don't know what you are talking about at all, and I don't know what King Chen, I see that the person who reported to you is either just teasing you, or we are jealous that our business is good, and you came to find fault with it, you really believe it, and it is naïve enough." ”

"Stinky! Hurry up and get out of the way, or I'll catch you together! Mu Junyao's face changed, and he drew his sword and pointed it at Jiang Yueyao, "If you don't get out of the way, you will be arrested as an accomplice!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the sword in Mu Junwei's hand suddenly fell to the ground, but the posture was still the action of drawing the sword, "How can this be?" "He couldn't move at all, as if someone had pointed him.

Slowly, he began to itch all over his body, as if countless ants had burrowed from the soles of his feet, but he couldn't move. That taste, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

Jiang Yueyao is a master of poisoning, and with a casual wave of her hand, she can poison people. This kind of torture is already cheap for him, if it weren't for the fact that he is Mu Zhaolin's son, how could he still be alive at this moment.

Mu Junqi shot at her suddenly, and said in horror: "What the hell did you do? The expression on his face was complex and distorted, painful and irritable, and his whole body seemed to be paralyzed, only his lips and eyes could move.

"Mu Shao, what's wrong with you?" The guards next to him saw that he was motionless and hurriedly asked.

Mu Junwei glanced at him, "What nonsense!" Let me go into the house and arrest someone. He was not stupid, he guessed that Jiang Yueyao was poisoned, "She is King Chen's accomplice, arrest this woman for me!" ”

"Yes!" The people below received the order, drew their swords and rushed up.

"You want to catch me?" Jiang Yueyao's eyes were fierce, her red pupils flashed like jewels, and her palm urged forward, with her as the center, the palm wind formed a fan shape, spreading out in all directions.

Her palm was poisonous, and the person she struck was killed by foaming at the mouth. At this time, no one dared to approach, and they all held swords and did not dare to take a step beyond the pool, for fear that the next one would be themselves.

Someone saw that her eyes were red, and they thought of her unguardable poisonous gas, and shouted: "She is the Nine Poison Demon Queen of the Underworld Pavilion, and her eyes will be red." ”

The eyes of the Rakshasa Marquis are green when he kills, the eyes of the Nine Poison Demon Queen are red when he uses poison, the eyes of the Dragon Master are blue when he takes out the sword, and the Dream Fairy is purple when he departs the soul, which has long been rumored in the rivers and lakes.

When Mu Junwei heard her identity, he was also afraid in his heart, he swallowed his saliva, although his tone was arrogant, but he was not as frivolous and impetuous as just now, and he was also cautious, "I tell you, we are here to arrest people on the orders of the Queen Mother." This is a matter of the court, you are a Jianghu person, you should not go against the court, and it is not good for you to maintain them. In the final analysis, this matter has nothing to do with you, why don't you stay out of it, everyone in the province is not good-looking. ”

Jiang Yueyao was just teasing him just now, and after a while, he was able to move, but his body was still extremely itchy. While he took out a serious negotiation posture, he kept scratching his whole body, which was also funny.

Jiang Yueyao took a sip of "puff" and said disdainfully: "Isn't it good-looking? I don't think you look good! With a wave of her hand, others thought she had poisoned again, and they were so frightened that they collectively took three steps back.

Jiang Yueyao smiled contemptuously, "A bunch of waste! ”

As soon as these words came out, Mu Junjiao's face changed, dark and scary, he usually hated others for scolding him for being a waste.

As if he no longer felt itchy on his body, he pulled out a knife from the guards beside him and roared angrily, "Give it to me, catch King Chen!" ”

The guard who was drawn hesitated and looked at him, "But she's the Nine Poison Demon Queen—"

Before he could finish speaking, a knife pierced his heart, killing him.

"Huh", Mu Junwei pulled the knife out of his body, and the yin owl in his eyes was like a black cloud pressing down on the city, "Whoever dares to retreat again, will end up like him, give it to me!" ”
