Xiao Liu continued: "The totem on the wide knife belongs to the Zhenshan knife family, this Zhenshan knife used to be a well-known person, it is said that the wide knife poured by his family vibrates, and the mountain will tremble."

"But in recent years, the Zhenshan Knife has gradually declined, and it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the Zhenshan Knife was inexplicably wiped out of the clan, and now there are no descendants anymore, how can it appear in the East Palace again?"

Lin Yanxi was puzzled, "Do you know who destroyed the clan?"

Xiao Liu shook his head and said, "The Zhenshan Sword has almost disappeared on the rivers and lakes in recent years, and there is no one who knows about the events of the past, but I will let the Dark Night Division continue to investigate."

Xiao Liu paused and said, "By the way, Second Miss, a champion you sent to the Dark Night Division before, according to the Third Miss, she felt dizzy that day, and now it has been determined that it was caused by someone drugged. And it is very likely that the person who drugged him was in the Taifu Mansion."

"From this point of view, that champion should not be the one who offended the third lady."

This result was expected by Lin Yanxi, and she also doubted it, but she had no way to find out who the person who drugged it was.

Lin Yanxi rubbed his forehead and said, "But most of the people in the house are domestic slaves, who will drug Ruoyan?"

If all this is secretly controlled by someone, Zhuang Yuanlang is also framed by someone, and if he is released at this time, the person who framed him is afraid that he will be killed, so there is no proof of death in this matter.

"Let's lock that champion for a few more days, don't use punishment, good food and good food are served, and then release him when we find the person behind the drug."

Xiao Liu replied "yes" and exited the house.

Shen Muzhou was covered with injuries all over his body, his cheeks seemed to be thinner, he had been tortured like this for only three days, it was hard to imagine how he spent a year in prison in his previous life.

When Shen Muzhou woke up on the second day, he only felt a numbness in his left arm, as if he was unconscious.

He was startled, and when he lowered his eyes, he saw a small round head lying on the side of the bed, sleeping on his arm.

A few strands of broken hair between Lin Yanxi's forehead blocked the side of her face, her white and tender skin was crystal clear under the morning sun, she didn't know what she was dreaming about, and her eyebrows were lightly twisted together.

Shen Muzhou looked at the familiar environment around him again, and he actually felt that the scene in front of him was a little unreal.

"Ahem, ahem." His chest heaved and he coughed.

Lin Yanxi woke up from his dream, raised his head suddenly, and looked at him.

The man in front of him had a pair of charming peach blossom eyes full of warmth, and there was a small abrasion on his face, which made him look a little fragile and distressing, as if he had fallen into the mortal world without staining the dust, and his whole body was full of dignity and pride.

Lin Yanxi went to pour him a glass of water and handed it to him and said, "I was worried about your injury, so I took care of you for one night."

Shen Muzhou didn't speak, but just stared at her eyes with a little more meaning.

Lin Yanxi was a little weak by him, and he didn't reach out to take the cup he handed over.

"Okay, okay, actually took care of it for half the night......

Shen Muzhou smiled dumbly and asked, "Half a night?"

Lin Yanxi's face was a little red, and he said in shame, "Do you want to drink water?"

Shen Muzhou looked at her innocently and said, "You sleep with my hands on your pillow, and most of my body is numb from you."

Her face turned red and she stopped talking, in fact she had only been taking care of her for about an hour before falling asleep, and she was too sleepy.

Lin Yanxi applied ointment to Shen Muzhou's face while telling her what had happened in the past few days.

He asked, "Zongzheng Siqing is the illusion you used?"

Lin Yanxi nodded, took out the small rattle bell from his waist and said, "Soul Bell." I've seen its urging spell in an ancient book."

"In fact, the soul bell will leave people with a door in the illusion, as long as you recognize that what you really want in your heart is the door of life, and Siqing's door is to admit your sins in the illusion, but in the end he failed to face the crimes he committed, he would rather drive himself crazy than face the sober pass

Go."

Shen Muzhou stared at her eyes, the last time he entered the illusion and saw Lin Yanxi and Zhaozhao, he chose to save Lin Yanxi at a critical moment, and then the illusion was shattered, it turned out that from then on, his life was her.

Lin Yanxi was a little shy by his staring, she put away the rattle in her hand, and told him about the Zhenshan knife again.

Her eyes dimmed, and she said a little lowly: "But the clue is only broken here, and the Zhenshan Knife has disappeared for many years after it was destroyed, and there is no trace to follow."

Shen Muzhou thought for a while and said, "I can go to the city to inquire about the news, there is a mysterious Zhihai Mansion there, the owner of the Zhihai Mansion knows the world's affairs, we can ask him about the whereabouts of the Zhenshan Knife."

When Lin Yanxi heard about the Dragon's City, his eyes flashed with a little starlight, and he asked in surprise, "That underground ghost city? Do you know how to get there?"

Shen Muzhou nodded indifferently.

"Then I'm going too, maybe there's news of a sorcerer there."

When Shen Muzhou stood up from the bed, he accidentally pulled the wound, and he said, "Don't worry, I just left Zongzheng Temple, and I want to go to the palace to return to Your Majesty."

"And ...... Your marriage to me, even if it is fake, we have to do a good job, and I will go to the Taifu Mansion with the dowry."

Lin Yanxi remembered that there was still such a thing as getting married, and her cheeks were slightly red and nodded.

---

In the past two days, Lin Yanxi has repeatedly practiced talismans according to the content of the ancient books, but the spells in her body have never been able to condense and gather qi.

She thought about the old man in the prison again, who he really was, how could he know

On the day that Shen Muzhou came to Taifu's mansion to be hired, Lin Ze said that he did not agree with this family business, but he still waited in the lobby early in the morning, and he sat on the carved rosewood circle chair with a gloomy face.

He sighed from time to time and frowned all the time.

When Shen Muzhou came, he was empty-handed, and only a small six and a row of guards from the Dark Night Division stood on the outermost.

Xu Xiaoniang and Lin Yuan sat on the side, they didn't understand what was going on, they craned their necks and looked out, wanting to see if there were still people behind them carrying things and not entering the lobby.

Seeing that he really didn't carry the whole box of dowry, he sneered lightly, "My Majesty gave me a marriage, and I wanted more scenery, but I didn't even have a dowry."

The two of them covered their mouths with handkerchiefs, unable to hide their smug smiles.

Lin Ze glared at them, and when he saw that Shen Muzhou was angry, he didn't say anything, "Is the Ninth Prince so scornful of my Taifu Mansion? He said he was hired for a job, but he came empty-handed."

Lin Yanxi sat on the side, she looked indifferent, anyway, it was fake, even if he gave this dowry, on the day when the two of them achieved their goal, she would return the dowry when she left the palace.

It's good that way, and it saves trouble.

She relieved Shen Muzhou and said, "Well, I am in love with the Nine Princes, so I don't have to care about those false courtesies."

Lin Ze's eyes looked at Shen Muzhou even more resentful, this stinky boy didn't know what ecstasy soup he poured into Zhaozhao.

Xu Xiaoniang and Lin Yuan looked at her with a foolish look, their eyes full of ridicule and pride.

"Shouldn't you give back some dowry, and the concubine of the Taifu Mansion won't be so upside down, right? Eat and drink well to feed me and grow up, but I turned out to be a money-loser." Xu Xiaoniang mercilessly ridiculed.

Lin Yanxi glared at her, disdainful of bothering her.

Shen Muzhou's gaze turned cold, and his smile was retracted with a murderous aura.

A concubine dares to speak to her concubine like this, which shows that Lin Yanxi's life in the mansion is not easy.

He glanced back slightly, Xiao Liu nodded, and walked over to Xu Xiaoniang, pulling out the knife at his waist and holding it on her neck.

Xu Xiaoniang's neck was cold, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, but Rao is so Xiaoliu's knife was extremely sharp, and the blade still rubbed a blood mark on her neck, dripping blood.

If she moved again, the knife would cut her throat in no time.

Lin Yuan was so frightened that he knelt directly on the ground to intercede for the Xu family, "Lord Wang, the sword has no eyes, spare your life."

Xu Xiaoniang's eyes were frightened with tears to Lin Ze

He cast a begging gaze and said, "Master, save me."

Lin Yanxi raised his eyebrows, took a sip of tea, and looked at this good show, feeling very comfortable.

Lin Ze glared at the Xu family, and deliberately waited for a while, so that she could remember it for a long time before he spoke: "Nine Princes, this is not the Dark Night Division, and it is so rude to my concubine in my Taifu Mansion, this is not to take me as a Taifu in his eyes!"

Shen Muzhou's gloomy eyes were soaked in a faint smile, and he casually knocked on the bone knuckle and said, "If you don't put Master Taifu in your eyes, your ugly concubine will already fall to the ground at this time."

"Dare to speak disrespectfully and insult the people of my Muwang Mansion, Xiaoliu."

Insulting the people of the Shepherd's Palace.

She silently repeated his words in her heart.

Xiao Liu unceremoniously grabbed Xu's shoulder, and the strength in his hand seemed to crush her bones.

"Oh, it hurts me to death, sir, sir, help me."

Lin Ze asked anxiously, "What are you going to do here?"

Shen Muzhou said in a deep voice, "Let her remember that the people who see me in the Muwang Mansion in the future should be cautious in their words and deeds."

"Master Taifu, let's continue."

Xu Xiaoniang was taken to the courtyard, and the people of the Dark Night Division tied her to a big tree and whipped her broad back with wattles, and with each whip, the flesh on her back trembled.

The subordinates who were working and serving back and forth could see that Xu Xiaoniang was forced to hold the big tree and tie it together, and the people of the Dark Night Division waved the whip mercilessly, and her wailing and screaming could be heard clearly in the entire Taifu Mansion.

Lin Yuan sat in the lobby and listened to Xu Xiaoniang's screams, she only felt that her face was dull, Lin Yanxi had Shen Muzhou's support again, how could they survive in the second room in the mansion!

She had to go to the crown prince again, and only when she entered the East Palace could she raise her head in the capital and live.

Lin Ze saw that it would not hurt Xu's life, so he didn't stop it.

The Xu family dared to bully Zhaozhao, and he should also suffer some hardships.

Shen Muzhou took out a wad of things from his arms and said, "This is the king's dowry."
