232 Make a deal
The prince was slightly stunned, and said, "Pass quickly." β
"See Your Highness." Xiao Mu was in the study, saluting the prince.
In the study at this time, there were other Ji Nanxian and two East Palace staff.
Seeing Xiao Mu at the moment, Ji Nanxian's mood was quite complicated.
Recently, he thought about it again and again, but he still felt that the words and deeds of the other party in the mourning hall that day could not escape the words "chaos and abandonment"!
As a brother, his sister was bullied like this, it is said that he should be angry and hateful, and he hates each other very much-
But......
At this time, looking at the young man who must have not yet come out of the pain of losing his mother, Ji Nanxian's heart was indescribable.
Xiao Hou this person......
Strong and strong over the spectrum, miserable and miserable is rare in the world.
The former, he is inevitably a little afraid......
The latter, he couldn't help but be a little soft-hearted......
So, the brother of the Ji family, who was angry with himself, could only silently turn his eyes away and no longer look at the young man.
"Xiao Jieji doesn't have to be polite." The prince raised his hand and looked at the person in front of him, and his heart fluttered a little: "I don't know why Xiao Jie's envoy came here at this time?" β
Xiao Mu said bluntly: "The minister wants to see Jiaque. β
The two staff members exchanged glances when they heard this.
- Is this dissatisfied with His Highness's delay in dealing with Gaque, and he came directly to the door to beg for someone?!
When the staff wanted to speak and stopped, they saw the prince turn around and walk towards the bookshelf on the side, but he raised his hand and took off the sword hanging in front of the bookshelf.
Your Highness, what is this?
The two staff members were slightly startled.
Although the Marquis of Dingbei's begging behavior is arrogant, His Royal Highness will not raise his sword and cut it, right?
The next moment, he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hand the sword to the Marquis of Dingbei.
"This person will be handed over to Xiao Jie's envoy."
Xiao Mu lowered his eyes and looked at the familiar saber.
This sword was once owned by him when he was young, and he rarely left it.
After the accident in the Shuguo Mansion, it must have been confiscated along with the family property in the mansion.
I didn't expect it to be here.
He stretched out his hand and took the sword from the prince's hand, and the two of them passed one after the other, as if there had been a long time of change.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Xiao Mu raised his hand, lowered his eyes and retreated.
"Your Highness...... What a wonderful move! After the door of the study was closed, one of the staff members whispered: "Directly hand over Nagaque to Dingbei Hou to deal with, and one is to give Dingbei Hou a personal favor, expressing His Royal Highness...... Second, this burden of taking care of the overall situation was handed over to the hands of the Marquis of Dingbei, so that the Marquis of Dingbei might not dare to risk such a big disapproval and insist on Nagaque's life! β
Another staff member looked at him: "If Dingbei Hou is biased, he dares to risk such a big disapproval?" β
The other party was stunned: "That ......"
So, this topic...... Aren't you just talking about death?
Through the closed door, the prince seemed to be able to see the figure still.
"The sword was given to him...... There is nothing wrong with what he does. β
β¦β¦
"Xiao Mu? What are you going to do? β
In the dark room of the East Palace, where Jia Que was detained, as the door of the dark room was reclosed behind Xiao Mu, the room that was briefly bright for a moment fell into darkness again.
The candle flickered, reflecting the anger in Gaque's eyes and the uneasiness that was pressed under this anger.
His gaze fell on the saber in Xiao Mu's hand.
"What, you want to kill me?" Jia Que gritted his teeth and asked in a fixed voice, "Do you dare?" β
Seeing that Xiao Mu didn't answer, he felt even more uneasy: "...... Thanks to you, Xiao Mu prides himself on being brave and strategic, and now it seems that he is just a stupid villain! I have always dared to do it! The one who killed your mother, there is someone else! You should seek out your Dasheng Prince to explain the law! β
Xiao Mu looked at the fierce-looking man who had been silently guarding against retreating with some amusement: "There's no need to be so afraidβI just want to make a deal with you." β
"Fart less...... Who's afraid! Gaque's chest puffed out.
"Whew-"
The sword came out of its sheath and lay across his chest.
It was so fast that he didn't even react!
"You...... Didn't you just say to make a deal! Jiaque didn't dare to scold if he wanted to scold, and asked with wide eyes.
"That's the deal I'm going to makeβ"
ββ¦β¦β
Half a quarter of an hour later, Xiao Mu lifted his sword out of the dark room, and blood beads condensed and slipped from the sword body.
The sword was unsheathed, and there was no expression on the young man's grim face.
The guards guarding outside the dark room looked slightly shocked, but they didn't dare to say more.
When the evil god had gone away, the guards returned to the dark room to check, only to see Gaque lying on the ground, a bloody hole in front of him, and his eyes closed.
The guards were shocked.
"Hurry up and go to His Highness ...... Ming!"
The night is getting darker, and the moon is passing over the branches.
"Teacher, is A-Niang really okay?"
On the path in the garden, the county lord of Jiayi held Hengyu's hand and was about to see the crown princess.
"Don't worry, the county lord can rest assured, Mama Xiang said that the crown princess is fine, she just needs to stay in bed and recuperate for a while."
"That's good......" Listening to the cry of the palace people from nowhere, the county lord of Jiayi clenched Hengyu's fingers: "Teacher, I'm a little scared...... Can you stay in the palace with me tonight? β
Children are still children after all, and no matter how lively and bold they are on weekdays, they are also divided into things.
The saint died, the palace was vegetarian, and the atmosphere was tense, which was a scene that the lord of Jiayi had never experienced.
Heng Yu held the little girl's soft hand and responded softly: "Okay." β
The county lord of Jiayi was a little more relieved.
At this time, with the sound of footsteps, a figure came to meet him.
Seeing the person who came, the female envoy beside Hengyu saw the blessing and saluted: "Xiao Jie envoy." β
Hengyu raised his eyes and looked over.
Under the light moonlight and the stone lamp, the face is more and more like a flawless cold jade, lacking the breath of mortals.
Between the four eyes, Hengyu's eyes were detached, as if looking at a stranger, his expression lowered his gaze indifferently, and he was silent.
Xiao Mu bowed his hand to the county lord of Jiayi and left with his feet raised.
When he walked away, Yuejian, who had always been steady, changed his face and lowered his voice: "Xiao Jie envoy...... How to enter the palace with a sword?! And there's blood on your hands! β
The county lord of Jiayi, who was restless, turned his head in surprise and looked in the direction where Xiao Mu left: "...... That's where my father's study is! β
"Don't be afraid." Hengyu took Jiayi's hand again: "He won't." β
Jiayi turned her head and looked up at the teacher, met those eyes, and slowly settled down.
"Let's go, go see the crown princess."
Jiayi nodded slightly.
Tsukimi hesitated for a moment, then followed.
β¦β¦
Soon, the news of the Marquis of Dingbei slashing Jiaque spread in the palace.
There was a constant tremor in all directions.
Some ministers were both shocked and angry: "How can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince condone Dingbei Hou to deal with this matter privately!" β
"Your Highness in order to appease the Marquis of Dingbei...... It's a bit too much! β
"The bones of the saint are not cold, and this kind of thing happens......"
sighed again and again, and the hundred officials only felt anxious.
"Let's go, come with me to meet His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Several officials went to the East Palace to see the prince, but they heard from the palace people: "Your Highness is discussing important matters with the envoy of Xiao Jie, the hour is late, please come again tomorrow." β
Several people stared at each other when they heard this, and they were so angry that they threw off their sleeves and left.
