A hint of ridicule flashed in Jing Rong's eyes, the emperor is saying that he should stand on the side of King Rui. Hiding the smile, he said sincerely: "Yes, the imperial nephew will apologize to the princess after he goes back." ”

Emperor Xuanwu saw that he was obedient and looked at King Rong again, and said: "Before, you had a million troops at the border pass, why didn't you grow up when you returned to Beijing?" In your control, you actually let people cut off 300 heads of the Praetorian Guards outside the palace gate without knowing it, and the perpetrator can kill people outside the palace gate today, will he be able to enter the palace and kill him one day? ”

"Please calm my father's anger, it is the son's ministers who are not effective in supervising and inspecting strictly, please punish my father." King Rong arched his fist forward and said sincerely.

Emperor Xuanwu slowly discouraged, sighed, and said, "Is there a direction to trace?" ”

King Rong gritted his teeth and shook his head, "The murderer didn't know what means he used to make none of the three hundred Praetorian Guards resist and struggle, so he took everyone's heads. There was nothing but skulls all over the ground. ”

Emperor Xuanwu was affectionate and solemn, punched the dragon case, and said angrily: "This is clearly a provocation to the imperial court!" It's a demonstration to me! King Rong and King Chen, you all have mistakes and omissions this time, I will give you a month to arrest the murderer. ”

"Erchen (Weichen) commands!"

There was no clue about the matter, and there were no clues left at the scene. The news that Jingrong and King Rong got from Qi Zuo only said that there were only four murderers, because all the corpses combined were only killed with four different weapons. But this kind of news made them even more shocked, how did these four people use to make three hundred people stand there obediently and not resist?

The thinking became more and more confused, and the two seemed to have fallen into a dead end, and they could never get out.

After Mu Xuefu returned to Mu Mansion, he was called to the study by Mu Zhaolin, he watched Mu Xuefu return alone, he was unhappy, and asked with a calm face: "Why didn't King Chen come back with you?" ”

Mu Xuefu leaned back on the chair and took a sip of grapes, and said, "It was said that there was an accident in the palace, and he was recruited into the palace by the emperor early in the morning." That's fine, this King Chen is a dangerous person, and I can't wait to stay away from him. ”

"You don't have a round house yet, do you?" Mu Zhaolin squinted, twisted his eyebrows, and looked her up and down.

Mu Xuefu froze for a moment, threw the grape grains in her hand into the plate, sat up straight, and said: "I am a woman who looks like no salt and has a bad fate, and before I entered the door, I couldn't even get off the ground of the always healthy Chen Wangyeke." Is he going to die, and he dares to go to me? ”

"This prime minister asked you to go to King Chen's Mansion not only to make you a pawn of the emperor, but more importantly, to let King Chen treat you like King Rui treated Yurong. As long as you tie King Chen's heart, isn't the power in his hands yours? You have a unique and stunning beauty, can't you still win a man's heart? Mu Zhaolin sighed heavily with a snort, as if he was angry, his face was dark, and he didn't have the gentle and elegant bearing he usually had.

Mu Xuefu disagreed, smiled slightly, with calmness and confidence, "To deal with ordinary men, my appearance is certainly more than enough." But King Chen is not an ordinary man, his heart is very hard-hearted, where does King Rui know to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade? It is said that the best way to deal with a man is to let him ask for nothing, but this King Chen has nothing to ask for a woman at all. I can only find another way, break his heart little by little, and let him taste the taste of this marrow and knowledge. ”

Mu Zhaolin's attitude softened, pondered for a moment, and said, "You did the three hundred Praetorian Guards?" ”

Mu Xuefu neither admitted nor denied it, with an unclear smile on the corner of her mouth, and said lightly: "I just came back, I don't know a lot of things, I need to think well, I don't want to be disturbed, and I don't want to contact King Chen too early in this situation that is not conducive to me." ”

"The emperor is the most suspicious, if something like this happens, he will naturally reduce his trust in King Rong, which is also a good thing." Mu Zhaolin took a sip of the tea cup on the table, felt that today's tea was particularly fragrant, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Mu Xuefu glanced at him with a faint expression, took a sip of tea, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile but not a smile.

After a busy day, Jing Rong didn't return to King Chen's Mansion until late at night.

"Can the princess go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion today? When did you come back? Where did you go along the way? Before going to bed, Jing Rong suddenly thought of Mu Xuefu, who should return to Ning today, and asked Zhou Cheng, who was waiting beside him.

"The princess went early today, and not long after the princess left the palace, the princess left the palace and left after having lunch in the prime minister's mansion. It's just that on the way back, I went to Jinxiu Tower, and stayed there for an hour before coming back. As the head of King Chen's Mansion, he naturally knew the whereabouts of everyone in the mansion, and Zhou Cheng reported Mu Xuefu's whereabouts today while serving him in wide clothes.

As soon as his words fell, Jing Rong frowned, and looked sideways and wondered: "Stopped for an hour in Jinxiu Tower?" Did the people sent see what she did? ”

"This woman, isn't she just buying things and drinking tea, and the princess is not exempt from vulgarity. At this hour, the princess was just wandering around the Splendid Building, and bought a lot of clothes and jewelry. Or the shop sent someone to our palace, and the slaves took it personally, and the slaves quietly checked it, and there was nothing wrong with it. ”

Jing Rong's brows loosened and stretched, and said: "In the future, whatever the princess wants to buy will be recorded in the name of the palace, don't let her take her mother's money for herself." He sat on the edge of the bed, took off his shoes from Zhou Cheng, thought for a while, and said: "This king remembers that there is a superb coral in the treasury, you take it and send it in person tomorrow, just say that this king has been busy with official business recently, and he really can't spare time to accompany her, and he will visit her after this busy time." This coral is given to her to play with, if she is bored, she can go out of the house at any time, and she can also let her best friends accompany her, without restraint. ”

"Yes, the minion made a note of it." Zhou Cheng took off the bed curtain and was about to leave.

"By the way, can people in the city see her face today?" Jing Rong suddenly stopped Zhou Cheng and asked.

Zhou Cheng immediately stopped and replied: "No, the princess went out of the mansion with a hat, and she never took it off back and forth, so no one saw it." ”

"Go down." Jing Rong waved his hand, and after Zhou Cheng left, he slowly opened his eyes, his deep eyes shone in the faint candle flame, the corners of his eyes moved slightly, and he said quietly: "This princess has a few meanings." Today should have been the time for her to set the record straight, and although I don't know what she looks like, it definitely won't be like a ghost. As long as people see her face, all rumors can be dispelled. But she deliberately made her face invisible, and swaggered in the carriage of King Chen's Mansion in public. This move further confirmed that Princess Chen's face was unbearable, and she didn't dare to show her true face. So why did she do this? Was it deliberate or capricious? It's a little hard for him to understand.
