The Second Prince's Mansion.

"General Mu, you're here!" The housekeeper of the Second Prince's Mansion saw Mu Rin coming, and hurriedly stepped forward.

When Mu Rin walked into the Second Prince's Mansion, he felt that the mansion was unusual, and a trace of darkness flashed in his eyes, and he asked lightly, "Where is the Second Prince?"

When the housekeeper heard this, his expression was gloomy, and then he said in a deep voice: "The second prince has just been sent back by the emperor, and at this moment, he is locking himself in the room......"

Seeing that the housekeeper wanted to speak and stopped, his expression was obscure, but Mu Rin's expression was faintly calm.

"General Mu, if you want to see the second prince, I'm afraid you won't be able to see it, and the second prince said that no one will come!" The housekeeper looked in the direction of the main courtyard, then looked back at Mu Rin, and said embarrassedly.

"What's the matter? he lost his temper?" Mu Rin didn't listen to the butler's words, but stepped out of his slender thighs and walked towards the main courtyard.

The housekeeper didn't dare to stop him, but he stepped forward in embarrassment, and said: "After the second prince came back, his expression was very wrong, I had never seen him like this, and the whole person was very gloomy. Now the maids in the palace don't dare to come to him, for fear that the second prince will be even more unhappy. ”

Listen as you walk.

Hearing this, Mu Rin saw the tightly closed door, and then looked at the windows around the house that were also closed with curtains, his brows couldn't help frowning, and said, "There is no one left here, just guard the outside of the courtyard." ”

"Yes!" replied the butler, glancing at the tightly closed room.

Then, he waved to the attendants waiting in the courtyard, sent him away, and walked outside the courtyard to wait in person.

"Squeak ......"

The door was pushed open!

"Bang!" followed by a roar: "Whoever allowed you in, get out!"

Mu Rin looked at the fragments of porcelain on the ground, raised his eyebrows, and said lightly: "This is what you can do?

The strong smell of alcohol filled the entire room, and he couldn't help frowning.

The light in the room is very poor, but you don't need to look to guess how ugly Jun Qingzhen's face is at this moment.

"What are you doing here?"

Listening to the indignant voice, Mu Rin got closer and closer, only to find that Jun Qingzhen was sitting on the ground and said in a deep voice: "You and I are bound by fate, why don't I come to you?"

Hearing this, Jun Qingzhen sneered and said, "It's really laughing to death, tied together? What, what can such a useless waste prince of mine affect you, the youngest and most promising general? Now, everyone in the world is waiting to see my jokes, aren't you happy!"

"You are the one who promised, and you are the one who is not happy now. From the very beginning, I never planned to really accept the emperor's marriage. Mu Rin looked condescendingly at Jun Qingzhen, who was sitting on the ground, stretched out his hand and took a pot of wine on the ground, and said flatly.

Jun Qingzhen poured a big sip of wine into his mouth, and then said, "What if I'm half-hearted? My thoughts never matter, do they?"

"I used to think that you were squirrel, but your temperament was still good, and it was not hopeless. Now, seeing you like this, it makes me feel that I am wrong!" Mu Rin looked at Jun Qingzhen lightly, but when his eyes fell on the wine jug in his hand, a haze flashed in his eyes.

Hearing this, Jun Qingzhen said decadently: "I am like this, you all look down on me so much, why do you want to use me as a chess piece! In your eyes, I am not what I should be? I have become a person in your eyes, why is it my fault again?" The words fell, and he took another big sip of wine.

Mu Rin squinted his eyes and said lightly: "Because Yan'er didn't go to the palace to participate in the discussion of our marriage, you feel that it is impossible to go as you expect if you agree to this marriage, so you ask the emperor to take back your fate." ”

As soon as these words came out, Jun Qingzhen's movements stopped, and after being silent for a while, he replied with a wry smile: "I thought I would be able to get closer to her, but when I knew that only the Fourth Emperor Uncle entered the palace, I knew that she did it on purpose." She has such deep feelings for you, she is most nervous about you, how can your marriage not appear, the only possibility is that she wants to avoid suspicion. And the person she wants to avoid suspicion is me!"

"Yan'er has always done things clearly, never dragged mud and water, let alone had any entanglements with other men, she has such a temperament, as long as she is in that position one day, she will not be able to do what you want. Mu Rin said calmly, not because Jun Qingzhen's tone was not good.

"Are you here to teach me a lesson, or do you want to beat me up again?" Jun Qingzhen looked even more desolate after hearing this, and asked indifferently.

He is a poor man who has no mother and father, but is almost like an orphan!

Mu Rin's eyes flashed with light, and he said coldly: "Who are you going to show like this?

"Let go, let go of me!" Jun Qingzhen had to reach out and grab Mu Rin's hand and shouted urgently.

"You've always been in trouble and won't clean it up, do you think those things will disappear by yourself?" Mu Rin's eyes staring at Jun Qingzhen's face were full of cold light.

"I admit that I often get into trouble, and that time, I didn't do the cleaning up myself?" Jun Qingzhen replied angrily.

When Mu Rin heard this, he smiled coldly and said, "Your ability is not small, but there are many people who are better than you. What if you are the prince? Are there fewer dead heirs in the palace? Do you think that you can often hang around the fourth prince, is it really your ability to impress that ruthless man?"

The more he listened to Mu Rin's words, Jun Qingzhen's face became more and more ugly, and he said in a tight voice: "What do you mean?

Mu Rin's face was cold, and he said, "If the emperor hadn't come to me, I wouldn't have come." I say this, if you still don't understand, you are really stupid and hopeless!" The voice fell, and then he let go of Jun Qingzhen fiercely.

Unsteady, he staggered back a few steps, and Jun Qingzhen, who finally stood firmly, finally knew who really cared about him the most.

"How is it possible, he has never only punished me, never praised me......"

"Praise may not be a real boast, pampering may not be a good thing, as a prince, is it possible, do you really not know those dirty things in the backyard of the palace?" Mu Rin said lightly: "Although, you have been sent by the emperor to the independent prince's mansion since you were a child, but have you ever seen an unfavored prince who can have a prince's mansion as you ......?"

"The emperor is seriously ill now, and there are many things to consider, but he still wants you to be able to live a stable life in his hundred years, and he will not hesitate to say all the good things to me. Do you still want to say that the emperor is selfish?"

Jun Qingzhen's heart with resentment was finally awakened by Mu Rin's words!

Yes, I have been complaining in my heart, and at this moment, I am full of guilt.

He felt sorry for the emperor's good intentions.

Because, in his impression, his father has always been cold to him, rarely take the initiative to get close, and even when he was young, he often saw his father smiling and hugging the crown prince Jun Yuan, and the third prince Jun Yan Lie, and his heart was extremely envious. For him, it was the opposite, never a smile, never a warm embrace.

Therefore, he never thought that what his father did to him was for his good!

"Then, is it possible, do you really want to marry me?" Jun Qingzhen pulled the hair on his head with his hand a little irritably, and said in distress.

Mu Rin listened, and said calmly: "This is also one of the reasons why I came to you!" After a pause, he looked at Jun Qingzhen's puzzled eyes, and asked lightly, "Do you want to control your own destiny?"

Jun Qingzhen heard the words and replied: "Nonsense! Of course I want to!"

"Well, let's make a deal......

Yefu.

Mu Qingyan walked casually in the courtyard of Ye Mansion, and not long after, Ye Ting's courtyard was close in front of her.

Luan'er and Yan'er followed closely behind them, watching Mu Qingyan stop with a staring look, and couldn't help but look at them curiously.

What caught his eye was Ye Ting, who stepped out of the courtyard.

"When did you come?" Ye Ting saw Mu Qingyan, his eyes flashed with joy, and said, "Do you want to go in and sit?"

Mu Qingyan's expression was faint, she shook her head, and said softly: "I just walked here, but it was an accident, you are still in the courtyard today." ”

The smile in Ye Ting's eyes did not decrease, and he walked to Mu Qingyan's side and said, "Yes, I just happened to be free today, I'll go with you!"

"Well, it's okay! The scenery of the beginning of spring is also good, it is too monotonous to watch alone, and it is also a pleasure for my cousin to be willing to appreciate the face!" Mu Qingyan smiled slightly when she heard this.

Walking, walking, the two chatted, and there was no one sentence, well, they were not chatting, but unilaterally. Almost all of the people who spoke were Ye Ting......

"Why did you come to Ye Mansion today?"

Mu Qingyan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then said: "I was so excited that I suddenly wanted to see my grandfather and grandmother." ”

However, such a statement is absolutely untenable for Ye Ting, who has a heart.

In the next second, Ye Ting asked without hesitation: "Do you have something you want to ask your grandfather, that's why you came here!"

Not a doubt, but a certainty, for he knew her too well.

Hearing this, Mu Qingyan smiled bitterly and said, "Is it so obvious?"

Ye Ting immediately said: "It's not obvious, it's just that I know!"

When Mu Qingyan heard such an ordinary sentence, she couldn't help but have a sour nose and wet eyes.

Yes, Ye Ting can also know her feelings so clearly and think about why she did it. And the man kept saying that he was attracted to her, but everything he did made her heart uncomfortable......

"Is there something unpleasant happening in the Four Princes' Mansion?" Ye Ting couldn't help frowning when he saw Mu Qingyan's sad expression, and asked.

Mu Qingyan listened, raised her eyes to look directly at Ye Ting, and then said very seriously: "If, I say, I will beat King's Landing." What would you do?"

Hearing Mu Qingyan's question, Ye Ting said without hesitation: "You can still come over unharmed after beating that man, I will be doubly good to you! If he wants to divorce his wife, it will be better, just give me the opportunity to take care of you." ”

After finishing speaking, he still looked at Mu Qingyan very reverently.

Mu Qingyan: "......"

Luan'er, Yan'er couldn't help but feel ashamed of him when she heard Ye Ting's words, there are really not many people who blatantly curse the separation of the fourth prince and the princess!

There was a dead silence in an instant, the cold wind blew, Luan'er, Yan'er, the two of them consciously retreated a few big steps to Ye Ting's side, widening the maximum distance between each other.

His expression was as silent as a cicada, for fear of being contaminated by Ye Ting's breath, God, you must know that the fourth prince could not bear this the most, and the thing that he was mad about before coming out of the palace was also because the princess proposed this harmony.

Mu Qingyan looked at Ye Ting, her original silent expression moved, she smiled faintly, and said, "Cousin, do you know? Don't say to people easily in the future, I take care of you or I raise you." It's poisonous!"

When Ye Ting heard this, his expression moved, a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes, and he said, "I'm sorry, I don't mean to treat you as an accessory, I'm just ......"

"Well, I know!" Mu Qingyan interrupted him and said lightly: "Even if there is such a day, I don't need others to raise it, of course, I don't need it now." Don't think I'm so fragile, I'm not here to complain to you. So, don't look at me with that worried look, I'm fine......!

"I just want to figure out something, you know, my mother's thing is my heart knot. As he spoke, he took a deep breath and stopped, staring at the pond of spring lotus outside the corridor, his eyes distant.

When Ye Ting heard this, the expression that was still a little worried disappeared, and he stepped forward to stand side by side with Mu Qingyan, looked at the newly bloomed lotus leaves on the pond, and said, "If what Mu Zhao said is true, then my aunt must still be alive in this world." After all, she is the saintess of the water tribe and has abilities that ordinary people do not have. ”

Hearing this, Mu Qingyan's faint eyes finally had ripples, and she said lightly: "I want to go to her in person, I want to know where she is, and I want to know if she is okay......"

When Ye Ting heard this, he couldn't help but look sideways, looked at her beautiful side face, and fell into deep thought......

Four Princes' Mansions.

The atmosphere in the house is not ordinary horror, oppressive, and everyone is afraid to breathe.

At this moment, Zhang Qing was standing in the room, looking dejected.

Jun Lin looked at Zhang Qing's appearance, sneered angrily, and said in a deep voice: "Very good! How much did you say about the events of that day?" Why did he think that Mu Qingyan was avoiding him and didn't let him touch it.

When Zhang Qing heard this, he trembled, and said in a low voice: "I said everything I saw!"

He didn't expect it to be like this, the princess asked the master about the situation, and he said, at that time, the princess was not angry!

"That's the stripping part!" King's Landing said, his expression even colder.

Zhang Qing didn't dare to raise his head, didn't dare to respond, and nodded.

Zhang Heng on the side saw it, and couldn't help but feel that Zhang Qing was not saved! This paragraph was also said, and he still told the princess that Ye Xun was stripped naked in the master's palace...... The master was still disheveled, saying that there was nothing. Who believes?

I'm really not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates!

This time, the master was so angry, Zhang Qing deserved to be punished, let him talk but have a brain, and the princess would not take a detour when asked.

"Zhang Heng!" King's Landing shouted coldly.

Zhang Heng immediately stepped forward and bowed in response: "Master!"

"Punishment!"

A faint word convicted Zhang Qing.

"Yes!" Zhang Heng ordered.

Then, he took Zhang Qing and retreated out of the courtyard outside the house.

Zhang Heng looked at Zhang Qing, who stood up consciously and hung his head consciously, and sneered: "You are really good, it is also an ability to be able to make the master angry to this extent! Have you heard the words I often say in your ear?"

Hearing this, Zhang Qing looked up at Zhang Heng and said with a sad face: "The princess asked, and I answered, didn't the master say that you are not allowed to deceive the princess!"

Zhang Heng was really going to be angry with Zhang Qing at this moment, and said: "You just hid some unnecessary scenes, is this a lie?" This can only be said to be not said, besides, you tell the princess about that kind of thing in detail, do you want to see the Four Princes' Mansion turned over by the princess?" said coldly, and shouted: "Stand up!"

At this time, the dark guard flashed out and put down a whip in Zhang Heng's hand.

"Chief, the master said to let him have a long memory!" the dark guard said to the side.

When Zhang Heng heard this, he knew that Zhang Qing's punishment this time could not be escaped, and he still had to be severely punished, the whip in his hand was waved instantly, and the first whip hit Zhang Qing's back.

A whip fell, the clothes were rotten, and the skin was open.

Zhang Qing's face turned pale, but he was still standing in the courtyard.

"Do you know what you're doing wrong?"

Zhang Qing and Zhang Heng looked at each other and replied in a deep voice: "I know, my subordinates are willing to be punished!"

"Very good!" Zhang Heng listened, his expression was still as cold and hard as at the beginning, and the whip in his hand was even more ruthless and continued to hit again......

It wasn't until a hundred lashes were finished that Zhang Heng stopped.

At this time, Zhang Qing was already crumbling, and there was no place on his back to look good, the skin was open, the flesh was blurry, and it was scary.

"Master, the execution has been completed!" Zhang Heng bowed to the house and said.

"Hmm!" all that was met was a faint response.

Zhang Heng glanced at Zhang Qing, who was pale, and said to the people on the side, "Help him go back to rest!"

The people around him heard this, and immediately helped Zhang Qing down.

Suddenly, a secret guard flashed down to Zhang Heng's side from the roof, knelt and saluted, and then quickly came to him and whispered something, handing over a letter in his arms.

When Zhang Heng heard this, his expression instantly tensed, and he said to the secret guard beside him, "Find!"

"Yes!" the Dark Guard commanded, and vanished.

Zhang Heng's expression was heavy, he walked up the steps, walked into the house, and looked at King's Landing who was looking through the books all the time, but he didn't dare to make a sound and just stood quietly aside.

King's Landing opened another page of the book, not taking his eyes off the book, and asked faintly, "What happened?"

Zhang Heng replied in a low voice: "Ye Xun has escaped!"

Hearing this, the movement in Jun Lin's hand paused, his eyes moved away from the book, he raised his eyes to look at Zhang Heng, and said lightly: "She ran away?

However, there was an incomparably cold look.

Zhang Heng replied respectfully: "The secret guard reported that she killed the soldiers who guarded her camp that night, killed a military prostitute who was waiting for the soldiers that night, changed the soldier's clothes and fled. ”

"That's an all-nighter's place, how could she do that so easily?" King's Landing put the book in his hand on the desk, his eyes sinking in fear.

Zhang Heng tightened his body and said, "At that time, I found that she had escaped for only a quarter of an hour, and the soldiers chased after her, but they didn't catch anyone. Follow the trail to the river, only to find the stolen soldier's uniform. ”

Hearing this, King's Landing moved his eyes slightly, and said, "She didn't run away by herself, but was rescued!"

Zhang Heng listened, his expression was solemn, so to speak, someone knew that the master had thrown Ye Xun to the barracks, so, who was this person, and who was so capable of saving Ye Xun without being known by the master?

"Corpses have already experienced it?"

"Back to the master, I have already experienced it, this is the details of the autopsy. Zhang Heng handed the letter in his hand to King's Landing.

King's Landing opened the letter and looked at the contents, and the more he looked at it, the darker his eyes became.

When the body was found, it was still warm, and in this spring weather, the body temperature of a person alive is a little warmer than warm. In this way, it is not wrong for Ye Xun to be found to have escaped for a quarter of an hour, so how could Ye Xun easily escape to the river a mile away from the military camp at this quarter of an hour?

King's Landing looked down further, only to see that the autopsy wrote that the dead soldier and prostitute were all stabbed to the vital point and killed immediately, which was not like what Ye Xun could do, but like a trained person could do it.

A single knife kills, each knife is the major artery and heart of the neck, and they are all extremely accurate......

"Look at it!" King Landing gave the letter in his hand to Zhang Heng on the side, and said coldly.

Zhang Heng took the letter, looked at the contents carefully, looked at it carefully, was horrified in his heart, and said in a tight voice: "This technique is too neat and neat, it is clear that only trained people can do it, and the wound is neat, which shows that there is no hesitation when you start, and there is no trembling, the wound is deep and long!"

The dead are killed on the spot, and there is no room for salvation, that is, the murderer does not kill in a panic but kills in a planned way!

Besides, Ye Xun doesn't know martial arts, he kills people with a knife, no matter how ruthless he is, but those who have not practiced it have not enough strength in his hands, and it is absolutely impossible for the wound to be as deep and smooth as mentioned in the letter.

Because, when a person kills someone in a panic and panic, he can't find out where to stab at all, but he stabs indiscriminately, so the wound is absolutely disorderly and untidy.

"She didn't run away, but was rescued!" Zhang Heng said with certainty.

"This king wants to know who it is, and he has so much ability!" King's Landing's eyes became even colder, his daughter-in-law had made trouble for him, and now he had run away from home, if the initiator was still at large, he, the prince, had never been so aggrieved.

"Is the master the object of suspicion?" Zhang Heng has been by King's Landing for so many years, so he naturally knows what his master means when he says this.

King's Landing narrowed his eyes, his expression was cold, and he said coldly: "I ignored such a person......"
