After eating, he said a few more words, and Jiayin excused himself to be tired, so he went back to the side hall early.

Shui Ling and Shui Yun knew the inside story, and they hurriedly sent the palace maids who were waiting.

Jiayin pushed open the door of the inner hall, bypassed the four carved floor-to-ceiling screens, and just turned around, he saw Mu Jue asleep on the low couch of Huanghuali by the window.

After a few days outside, he definitely couldn't take care of eating and sleeping, he lost a lot of weight, and his hands, face and clothes were gray.

Because of the small table in the middle of the low couch, he lay on his side, his legs curled up, and he looked very uncomfortable.

Jiayin hurriedly stepped forward and moved the small table away.

Mu Jue frowned and moved.

Jiayin hesitated for a moment, but still shook his hand and said softly, "Sleep first, don't worry about anything." ”

Xu smelled the familiar warm fragrance, Mu Jue's brows slowly loosened, and he fell asleep completely with confidence.

The night swallowed up the hustle and bustle of the day, and it was rare to give the world a peace.

The lively streets have gone from being crowded to deserted.

The crickets and all kinds of insects that have been depressed for a day all run out to find a sense of existence.

Even the palace, the most oppressive place in the world, is rarely lively.

In the small garden behind Zhilan Palace, an unknown insect screamed hard by pulling its neck, wondering if it was going to be a singer.

In the side hall, Shui Ling had already slept in a large shape, snoring heartily.

Shui Yun rubbed his heavy eyelids, listened to the slight sound in the inner room next door, and picked up the needle and thread in his hand again.

Separated by a wall, Jiayin also yawned and put down the account book in his hand.

The dimness of the candle flame sprinkled on Mu Jue's face, and her eyelashes cast a small shadow under her eyes.

After getting along for so long, Jiayin mostly treats him as a friend, no need to be restrained, and there is no need to guard against too many friends.

But at this moment, she dragged her cheeks and looked at him carefully, and her heart suddenly beat a little faster.

In his previous life, at his age, Mu Jue was at most a freshman.

But in this time and space, he has already experienced the destruction of his family, revenge, learning martial arts to make a living, and now he is doing his best to help his family protect the peace of the rear of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and also take care of her safety......

It's hard for him!

Jiayin didn't think about whether he really wanted to marry him for the rest of his life and work together for a lifetime.

But for the time being, she also has some favorites.

As long as he doesn't change, it always is, maybe he loves each other and is okay with being a free little couple......

Thinking like this, she lost her mind, and when she retracted her thoughts, she suddenly met a pair of bright eyes.

"Oops, when did you wake up!" Jia Yin blushed a little.

Mu Jue turned over and sat up, smiled with two points of pride, and responded, "I've woken up a long time ago, but someone is admiring my peerless beauty, and I can't bother you." ”

Jiayin gave him a big roll of his eyes, and said angrily, "Hurry up and wash your hands and face, and leave you food." ”

With that, she went to lift the small stove in the corner of the house.

I have to say that this stove has become a special cover-up prop.

Of course, it is best to store the food in a space, not afraid of rotting and smelling, not afraid of cold.

Mu Jue was so hungry that he didn't pay attention to where the food came from, and after washing up indiscriminately, he picked up the rice bowl.

The big bowl of white rice, with the red and oily braised pork, was picked into Mu Jue's stomach in the blink of an eye.

Jiayin hurriedly handed him a glass of warm water, "Eat slowly, don't choke." ”

Mu Jue drank the warm water in one gulp and continued to sweep the next bowl.

When he was finally half-full, he slowed down and said while eating, "The destruction of military rations is already a bit eyebrow-raising.

"I really didn't expect that Uncle Dayong, who usually looks so gentle, actually has a cold and iron-blooded side, and he just pried open the mouths of two key witnesses and got some clues and evidence."

Jiayin's eyes darkened, and he sighed.

"Uncle Dayong is also angry, he has been following his father-in-law for several years, and he knows too much that the battlefield ahead is dangerous.

"Not only did Xindu not do his best to help, but he also dragged his feet, it's strange that he is not angry!

"Although the second uncle only delayed for three or four days to raise the second batch of military rations, no one could predict how many soldiers would be sacrificed on the father-in-law's side in the three or four days."

"yes!" Mu Jue nodded, stretched out the bowl in his hand, and Jiayin tacitly added him a spoonful of braised pork.

Mu Jue said again, "This time, I still haven't caught the key person behind the scenes, but several of the generals involved have been grabbed by the wrists, and there is no room for them to jump in the future."

"Also, I sent the key evidence out for a long walk, and sent a few more people into Dali Temple.

"These are all related to the incident at the palace gate the night before, together with the five hundred soldiers guarding the gate, don't think about it, it is estimated that they will be sent to the southwest to guard the border next month."

Jiayin paused for a while, and it took a long time to react.

Mu Jue means that he used the evidence of the destruction of military rations to avenge her for the palace gate being blocked?

"You...... It's too fast! I didn't even tell my family about this, how did you know? Jiayin's heart was a little hot, and she tried her best to pretend to be calm and asked.

Mu Jue put rice again, buckled it directly into the braised pork plate, and then mixed another plate of refreshing cold salad into it, and continued to eat.

After being busy, he responded, "I promised Master Hou to protect you, naturally you are the most important." Others may not know, but I can't leave anything behind.

"Besides...... I won't allow you to be wronged in the slightest! ”

It was the first time for Xu to say such love words, Mu Jue also blushed a little, coughed dryly, lowered his head and continued, "Fortunately, this time I helped investigate the destruction of military rations, otherwise there was really no way to clean up those few indiscriminate things so quickly." ”

Jiayin's face turned even redder, and he asked casually, "Those people at the gate of the palace, who is behind them?" ”

"You may be surprised when you say it, although several of the people involved are military generals and have the intention of testing the emperor's mind, but the one who contributed the most was actually bribed by a businessman with a lot of money."

"Merchant?" Jiayin frowned, "My family's business has offended people?" ”

Mu Jue nodded, "It's the owner of Nine Lotus Zhai." ”

"Nine Lotus Zhai?" Jiayin was even more surprised, "Didn't this shop close a few years ago?" ”

"That's right, it was closed because of the white clouds." Mu Jue smiled, "Although it's been a long time, you still don't allow people to hold grudges." ”

Jiayin sighed, "This is really a disaster, normal competition, don't you want my dim sum shop business to be booming!" ”

Mu Jue put down the bowl, burped, and ate to his heart's content.

"Don't worry, this matter is settled. The few people who were bought were unlucky, there was no place to be angry, and they would definitely push all the blame on the head of the owner of Jiulian Zhai, and in the end, the dog ate the dog, and they all went to the southwest to eat sand. ”

Jiayin looked at his appearance and couldn't help but smile.

"So, the county lord doesn't have to interfere, and this matter is over?"

Mu Jue raised his eyebrows proudly and smiled ruffianly, "Of course, with me, where can I use you to do it." ”

The two looked at each other, and they were both smiling brightly......
