Chapter Seventy-Seven: Upheaval in the Imperial City
The Luoxi Imperial Capital was still calm on the surface, but at the same time, the Purple Feather Imperial City set off a layer of turbulent waves.
The economic pattern in the imperial city has undergone earth-shaking changes in just half a month, and the shops that originally held the economic lifeblood of the imperial city have changed hands for various reasons, and those shops in the past were all the industries of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the court, and most of them belonged to the prime minister's party, which made the people feel panicked, which was a sign of a change in the sky.
In addition to the formation of a new economic context, the homes of some officials in the DPRK are also plagued by disasters, first it was reported that the eldest son of the squire of the criminal department died in bed for no reason in the land of fireworks, some people shook their heads helplessly, expressing sympathy for the sudden disaster, and some people sneered at this and started to abuse, saying that it was simply insulting and corrupting the doorway.
Next is the youngest son of Lord Shangshu who was beaten to death on the street, although it feels very cruel, but there is still a trace of happiness in the hearts of the people, they think that it is those officials who usually bully and are arrogant and domineering who anger Tianyan and will die.
In addition, there are many ministers' families that have been unquiet in recent days, and they have caused a sensation in the imperial city for a while, and even Jing Zhaoyin has been dispatched, but they can't find the mastermind behind the scenes, and someone has had accidents one after another, and it is surprisingly similar to the previous change in the economic lifeline, these ministers are all members of the prime minister's party.
It seems that there is a force in the dark that is working against the prime minister, but no one knows the true identity of the person behind it, the prime minister is undoubtedly furious, and a large number of secret guards were dispatched to investigate the matter, but those people were obviously prepared, and they couldn't find a trace of clues.
Yan Su was so angry that he almost vomited blood, he couldn't think of anyone else who could have such a big force against him, a bad thought came to his heart, except for Murong Lingche, he really couldn't think of a second person who could have this means, but he didn't believe that Murong Lingche could crawl out of the ground and continue to fight against him, could he really be a hell Shura, such a ghost?
But such a thought is fleeting, he will not believe such a childish idea, his secret guard personally came to report that Murong Ling Che died without a place to be buried, there is absolutely no possibility of survival, so, apart from him, could it be Murong Jinglan?
His nephew respects him very much on the surface, and he obeys him in everything, just to paralyze him and take the opportunity to expand his power, and when he is full-fledged, I am afraid it is time to get rid of him, however, he Yan Su is an old fox, how can he be suppressed so easily, and he has coveted that position for more than a day or two, this difficulty will not bring him down, and there is also his eyeliner in the palace, and he will step up further control of Murong Jinglan.
And Murong Jinglan's side was also full of doubts, obviously he didn't know who did it, it made him happy and worried, happy that someone helped him deal with Yan Su's old fox, and he was worried that he didn't know whether the other party was friend or foe, and whether he would turn around and deal with him in the end.
The fire in the imperial study was vigorous, and Murong Jinglan, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, stood in front of the dragon case with his back on his back, his deep and shrewd eyes stared at the Danqing painting scroll next to the bookshelf, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his hand and turned a golden dragon-shaped jade pot on the bookshelf.
Two black-clad secret guards knelt on the ground and bowed their heads to plead guilty, "The subordinates are incompetent, and they have not been able to find out the identity of the person behind the scenes." ”
In the dim secret room, his black eyes were shining with a grim light, his hands were behind his back, and he coldly glanced at the two people in front of him, and a terrifying majesty invisibly emanated to the surroundings, and slowly spoke, "Continue to investigate, at any cost, at the same time, pay close attention to the prime minister's movements, and when necessary, push the boat down the river, this fire is best burned on the prime minister's body in person." ”
The Luoxi Palace, which had just snowed, was covered in silver, next to a rockery in Yilanxuan, Mu Zhiyu released the carrier pigeon, after reading the letter, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but expand wantonly, and he couldn't help but praise Xiao Luoyu, his action was so fast, and the efficiency was so high, so she couldn't help but look at him with admiration, I thought that he was not in shape all day long, and he looked like a hanger, but he didn't expect to be not ambiguous at all when he got down to business, it seems that he is absolutely relieved to leave this matter to him.
He got up and went back to the house, threw the letter in the brazier, and it was burned to ashes.
"Xiao Yu'er, what are you burning?"
Chu Muchen's hearty and magnetic voice sounded behind him, turned around to look, and sure enough, he saw his peach-blossom-like smile, the folding fan in his hand kept shaking, and in the blink of an eye, the purple was already in front of him.
I saw him glance down at the ashes in the brazier, frowned slightly, and took a few steps back, "It smells so bad." ”
The corners of Mu Zhiyu's mouth couldn't help twitching, looking at his disgusted look, it was really hypocritical, besides, he went there to see it himself, and no one forced him to go, so he said angrily, "His Royal Highness King Chen is really a golden honor, you better hurry back to your own house, so as to save this ash from staining your eyes and smelling your nose." ”
Chu Muchen was choked for a moment, nodded his head with the other end of the folding fan, and smiled awkwardly, "I'm joking, but, seeing that you were obviously very happy when you entered the house from the courtyard just now, is there anything very pleasant?" ”
Mu Zhiyu smiled slyly, then sat on the beauty couch and squinted at him, "I won't tell you first, it's a good thing anyway." ”
Although he was a little confused, seeing that she didn't want to say more, and didn't ask any more questions, he suddenly raised his lips and smiled, walked quickly to her side, and sat down on the ground, "You said that night that there was a way for Luo Keluo to hand over the things in person, say it quickly, what are you going to do?" ”
Asked with great interest, obviously very curious about this matter, which made Mu Zhiyu feel funny, this His Royal Highness King Chen seemed to have no shape all day, blinked, and smiled at him weirdly, "You say, if he entered the assassin in the middle of the night and held the emperor hostage, just to let him hand over the piece of amethyst jade pendant, would he go back to Mu Yaru to settle accounts?" ”
"Kill two birds with one stone, you can not only get what you want, but also slash that Mu Yaru fiercely." Chu Muchen said, his eyes lit up with embarrassment, and he was bored for no reason when he thought of the arrogant and contrived woman before.
"And when are you going to act?"
"I'll go when this girl is in a better mood."
said casually, in fact, she planned to stay here for a little more time, and take a good look at the Luoxi Palace to see if she could find an effective way to pocket the entire Luoxi Kingdom, anyway, with Che's support behind her, she could do it boldly with confidence, and someone would clean up the mess for her if she caused trouble.
If you are lucky, find the real reason for the death of Emperor Luo Xi first, maybe you can accelerate Luo Xi's civil strife, and if it is not good, create some incidents, and wait for the eldest brother's matter to be resolved, after returning to Ziling Kingdom, Luo Xi Kingdom will also be famous.
The days in winter are always very short, and the nights are coming soon, because they are the guests of Emperor Luoxi, their treatment is no worse than those favorite concubines in the harem, there are several pots of charcoal in the house, and the palace maids have also sent several times of high-quality warm clothes, and the snow fur that Mu Zhiyu is wearing makes her very satisfied, both soft and silky and warm.
Chu Muchen nominally came to Luo Xi as an envoy on behalf of Cangyun's envoy, but in fact, it was not a big deal, he wandered around the palace every day, although Luo Keluo was dissatisfied, but it was not easy to attack, he could only be regarded as a VIP hospitality, no matter what, what was passed on to the outside world was the friendship between Cangyun and Luo Xi.
She knew that this qiē was all because of Luo Keluo's jealousy of Cangyun Kingdom, and she was still stained with Chu Muchen's light, but with such convenience, she still had to use it, and she didn't feel any discomfort at all.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, watching the wax oil keep dripping, her eyes turned outside from time to time, although she didn't know what Murong Lingche was busy with during the day, she didn't ask, she believed that everything he did had his reasons, just as he let her do everything.
He would come to accompany her every night, no matter how late, and today she was looking forward to it, not knowing when he would come, her heart was pounding, and she couldn't help but be annoyed when she had become so unreserved.
Feeling the familiar breath, my heart became happy, and he came.
In an instant, the small body fell into a wide and warm embrace, his hand wrapped around her tightly, his slender chin against her forehead, for a long time, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said slowly, "Yu'er, I have something to leave for a while." ”
Hearing this, he was slightly stunned, came out of his arms, raised his eyes to look at him, obviously saw the reluctance in his eyes, and felt slightly relieved in his heart, knowing that he must have something very important to do, and asked softly, "When will you leave?" ”
Slightly disappointed to see her so calm, didn't she want him to stay by her side all the time?
"Yu'er, you just want me to go so much?" A hint of hurt flashed in his eyes.
Mu Zhiyu was dumbfounded, how could he understand it like this?
The corners of his mouth hooked up slightly, reached out and pinched his face, and said jokingly, "Yes, I can't wait for you to leave, and no one will bother me in front of me then." ”
Looking at her playful smile, Murong Lingche suddenly realized that she did it on purpose, and then smiled evilly, "Oh, that's it, since someone annoys me so much, then I'll disappear immediately, and it seems that it is necessary to take some side concubines, so as not to keep me alone in the empty room." ”
After speaking, he turned around to leave, deliberately slowed down his pace, walked a few steps and didn't hear the sound or movement of the retainer, his steps paused, his eyebrows twisted, she didn't stop him?
turned around and saw a layer of mist in her eyes, her heart couldn't help but hurt, and her figure flashed in front of her, hugged her tightly in his arms, wrapped her waist with one hand, caressed the back of her head with the other hand, and pressed her face to his chest, he actually made her cry, was it because of his joke just now?
"Yu'er, I was joking with you just now, I won't leave tonight, let alone find another woman." The soft voice was comforting, but it could also be heard, and the firmness in the words was heard.
Mu Zhiyu didn't know why, as soon as he heard him say that he wanted to accept the side concubine, his heart hurt like a tear, and tears poured out very unproductively, rubbing the tears on his clothes fiercely, and then he gave up, came out of his arms, looked directly into his eyes, and said in a firm and domineering tone.
"I, Mu Zhiyu, will never share my man with any woman, if you want to take a side concubine, I will definitely leave without hesitation."
Murong Lingche looked at her eyes affectionately, and said firmly, "Yu'er, in this life, I, Murong Lingche, you alone are enough, and there will be no woman between you and me." ”
"Really?" Although she heard him promise in person, she didn't dare to believe that it was common for men in ancient times to have three wives and four concubines.
Gently scratching the tip of her nose, she smiled, "Of course it's true." ”
Mu Zhiyu finally broke into tears and laughed, "I remember your words, if you dare to betray me in the future, I will make you look good." ”
Murong Lingche couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, but I can guarantee that there won't be that day." ”
He nodded with satisfaction, and then remembered the matter, "What do you need to go there in person?" ”
"Yu'er, there is one thing I haven't told you."
Stretching out her right hand, the blue dragon head ring was reflected in front of her eyes, "It symbolizes the identity of the Palace Master of the Spirit Rain Palace." ”
Mu Zhiyu was stunned, she heard Jiang Yi mention that the largest assassination organization on the Qianxu Continent, the terrifying Lingyu Palace, has a sophisticated and huge intelligence network, and no one knows who its palace master is, but she didn't expect it to be Che?
"The Palace Master of the Spirit Rain Palace turned out to be you?"
Murong Lingche smiled slightly and nodded, she didn't expect her to know about the Lingyu Palace, "Actually, I also took over the Lingyu Palace a few months ago, and the Lingyu Palace was actually founded by my master, and I will tell you more about it later." ”
Nodding, knowing that it must be difficult to explain, but when she learned that the Spirit Rain Palace actually obeyed Yu Che, how could she feel so happy? Not only has it expanded its power, but it will also be more convenient to do anything in the future, and I feel really good when I think about it.
"By the way, you haven't told me why you left." Blinking at him.
"The intelligence has been found that Qianfeng Haoye is a person from the Hidden Pavilion, and the Hidden Pavilion has the ability to override the imperial power, and has been hidden in the world, and has been almost forgotten by the world for nearly a hundred years, but they were suddenly found in the northernmost part of the Qianxu Continent, and it seems that they have an unknown conspiracy with Qianfeng Haoye, so I want to go in person to see what they have to make the royal families of all countries jealous, and whether they are really as rumored to be indifferent to the world and indifferent to fame and fortune."
Mu Zhiyu had never heard of the Hidden Pavilion, but when he heard him say this at this time, he seemed to be very powerful, and he couldn't help but worry about him, "Will it be dangerous for you to go?" ”
Murong Ling Che smiled and stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, "Yu'er, believe me, I won't let myself have trouble, in this world, there are not many people who can hurt me." ”
"But I'm worried about you, can you not go?"
"If Qianfeng Hao doesn't get rid of it all night, the Qianxu Continent will be ruined sooner or later, and if you want to get rid of him, you can only start with Yin, rest assured, most of the masters of the Lingyu Palace will go with me, they are all among the best in the martial arts rankings."
Mu Zhiyu knew that she couldn't shake his determination, and she was slightly relieved after learning that there was a master escort, she would always support him behind her back, "In this case, promise me that you will come back safely." ”
"Well, Ling San and Ling Si will leave it to you, and they will protect you."
