Mu Xiao looked at her, his brows furrowed slightly.

Shen Yunzhu smiled at him, so that Mu Xiao could believe in himself.

Mu Xiao understood what she meant, he was not an incurable disease, as long as he cooperated, and when he found something to understand the Gu, he would be able to catch up again.

He is the son of the Mu family, how can he easily admit defeat!

"Yes, when I'm better, we'll compare." At this moment, Mu Xiao was already calm.

Although he seems to be sick and weak, his aura is not small.

Everyone looked at each other, not daring to laugh at random.

Song Hongzhe hurriedly gave the young man a look.

The boy said, "Then wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon?" You've got to give me some time! ”

Mu Xiao looked at Shen Yunzhu.

Shen Yunzhu's mouth hooked slightly, and said, "In two months, my cousin will be fine." ”

Two months?

The young man smiled proudly again: "Okay, since it's a pot throwing competition, then we'll set a lottery." ”

Mu Xiao asked, "What kind of color head?" ”

"I have taken a fancy to your family's Qinglong Knife, if I win, you will present the Qinglong Knife with both hands!" The young man said, "If I lose, I'll kneel down and call you three times Grandpa, Mu Goro, do you dare to bet?!" ”

Song Hongzhe immediately collapsed: "Feng Yang, are you confused?" It was a gift from the emperor, how could it be used as a color head! ”

Mu Xiao also had a little regret at the moment.

It was given to his grandfather by the first emperor in recognition of his merits in defending his family and country.

After the Mu family overturned the case, the Qinglong knife was sent back, and now it is placed in the family ancestral hall.

If he loses the royal gift, what face will he have to meet his grandfather and father and brother under the Yellow Spring in the future!

Mu Xiao was about to refuse, but a voice came from the octagonal glazed pavilion above his head: "Since they have all proposed to use the things given by the emperor to make color heads, it is too boring to compare a pitching pot alone." ”

Except for Mu Xiao, who was present didn't know whose voice it was.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty actually came to Song Cifu's birthday banquet!

The palace people rolled up the curtain, and in the pavilion, it was Gu Cezhou who was dressed in dark pattern clothes, and Concubine Song De, who had just entered the palace, was waiting on the side.

She has apricot faces, peach cheeks, bright eyes and bright teeth, and can be regarded as a delicate beauty.

"Your Majesty is right, it's better to shoot on horseback." Concubine Song Defei smiled, "Only such a winner is qualified to be worthy of that Qinglong Knife." ”

Everyone bowed and saluted, Mu Xiao's heart was slightly cold, and he looked at Song Hongzhe in disbelief.

Shen Yunzhu said in a low voice: "Cousin, he just deliberately tricked you." ”

She was just a little skeptical, but when she saw Gu Cezhou, she would basically be sure.

This is to let His Majesty know that Mu Xiao is useless, and he doesn't even dare to throw a pot to fight, let alone enter the military camp to reshape the glory of the Mu family.

Gu Cezhou walked out of the pavilion and looked at Mu Xiao: "Mu Xiao, use your Qinglong knife to make a color head, are you willing?" ”

Mu Xiao had no choice, so he could only say: "The grass people are willing." ”

Gu Cezhou tilted his head slightly, his eyes fell on Shen Yunzhu intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "Just having this color head seems to be a little dull, then add another one, the winner of the cavalry shooting, you can be the hussar general of the Gyeonggi battalion." ”

Concubine Song Defei said: "Your Majesty, it's better to let two more people participate, then the competition will be much more exciting." ”

The corners of Gu Cezhou's mouth hooked: "Concubine De is right, this kind of riding and archery competition, two more people are interesting." ”

Subsequently, he asked Wei Jinzhong to handle the matter.

Song Hongzhe's eyebrows were bright, and he was the first to run up to sign up.

Mu Xiao's face sank, he and Feng Yang were necessary to participate, so it was better to sign up deliberately.

He turned around and left, and Shen Yunzhu hurriedly followed.

When he got to a place where there was no one, he hammered the rockery fiercely.

His strength was weak, and the rockery did not shake at all, but his hand was bruised.

"Cousin, don't be angry." Shen Yunzhu hurriedly persuaded, "Beware of that blood-devouring Gu waking up." ”

Bai Shao also frowned, and stepped forward to wipe Mu Xiao's wound with a handkerchief.

"Your Majesty was full of benevolence and righteousness before, but now he has opened his mouth to facilitate the gambling game, and he doesn't think about the merits of the Mu family at all." She couldn't help but open her mouth and shudder.

"Don't say it, beware of the misfortune that comes out of your mouth." Mu Xiao's expression was solemn, he looked around, and only after making sure that there was no one did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Bai Shao was rarely so reckless, she lowered her head: "The slave almost caused trouble for the princess and the princess." ”

Mu Xiao is not a gentleman, and he has been imprisoned for five years, so how can he not see everyone's intentions.

"The Song family knew that His Majesty would come today, so Song Hongzhe took me there and sang and harmonized with others, so that His Majesty knew that I was weak and overwhelmed." He sneered, "It's really painstaking. ”

Song Ren's relationship with his father is afraid that it has long ceased to exist.

Shen Yunzhu's impression of Gu Cezhou became worse and worse, and said, "I still think he has a good conscience." ”

Mu Xiao had already seen through the warmth of human feelings this time, so he explained the relationship with her: "My grandfather and father led a lot of soldiers back then, if I can join the army, I can rely on the past to quickly gain a firm foothold, he is the son of heaven, and he will never do a loss-making business." ”

This is the test given to him by the young emperor.

If he can't even win those noble children, how can he talk about revenge?

Shen Yunzhu smiled: "But this time, it's not without gain." ”

"Why did Yun'er say that?" Mu Xiao was puzzled.

"The Song family gave you a post and specially arranged this game, because they already knew that you were weak and made Your Majesty disappointed in you." Shen Yunzhu said, "Even Your Majesty doesn't know that you have a cold disease, why do those people know?" ”

Mu Xiao's thinking also became clear, during the years he was imprisoned by Long Weisi, he carried all minor and major illnesses by himself, after all, he was a prisoner, and he was not qualified to hire a doctor.

He was startled, "What do you mean ......?"

Shen Yunzhu nodded and lowered his voice: "Didn't Lord Song send you something?" If the eggs of the Blood Devouring Gu were mixed into the diet, they would be able to unknowingly descend into the Gu. ”

Mu Xiao's breathing slowed down, and said, "At that time, he was still running for the Mu family's case, how could he ...... How could it be ......"

"I just suspect that if it is really Lord Song's Gu, I will definitely be able to find some clues." Shen Yunzhu said, "Cousin, hold on, as long as I find out who ordered the Gu, I will be able to follow the vine and find the Hongyan Lingzhi." ”

Where the Blood Devouring Gu is caught, there will definitely be a Gu antidote within a radius of five miles.

Mu Xiao looked at her serious look, and knew that she was not comforting herself, he really had a chance to cure the Gu poison and recover!

He nodded: "I know, I won't startle the snake." ”

The Song family has already notified the guests to open the table.

Gu Cezhou and the master's house were naturally in the main hall, and the rest were in the outer courtyard.

At this time, men and women sit separately.

The maidservant led Shen Yunzhu to a table.

The officials and dependents at this table were all dressed up exquisitely and luxuriously, and Bai Shao mentioned a few words on the side, and she knew that these people were either from the Guogong Mansion or from the Hou Mansion.

Although Shen Yunzhu is the prince and princess, no one in Beijing knows how she entered the door, so she deliberately moved her position and stayed away from her, so as not to lower her value.
