Mu Huai'an's tone was just to put the words "are you not good" on the door of his head.

The green tendons on Chu Yan's forehead jumped, and for the first time he tasted what it was like to "move a stone and hit himself in the foot".

"I'm not hurt." He said coldly.

When Mu Huaian heard this, he was completely relieved, "It's good that you are not injured." ”

If he is injured, he can't afford it, and his aunt will definitely peel off a layer of his skin.

However, the next moment---

Mu Huai'an suddenly realized that the blood on Chu Yan's body was not his own, it was someone else's.

"You...... Okay? His handsome face really gave birth to a little concern this time.

Few people know that His Royal Highness, the most noble prince of the Great Zhou, had an unknown hidden illness when he was a child.

I can't see the blood of others splashed on his robe.

Once such a situation occurs, it can range from a head attack to a coma.

This hidden disease is related to Chu Yan's childhood experience, which is born from the knot of his heart.

Although I heard that when he went west with the first emperor, he was cured on the battlefield. But after so many years, it was the first time that Mu Huaian had seen the blood of others on his robe.

"It doesn't matter." Chu Yan replied lightly, but the forbearance and gloom in his expression was difficult to hide.

Shen Lingxi only thought that he was "annoyed and angry", and he didn't pay much attention to it.

Mu Huai'an simply said to them: "Let's go, the Mu family has a hot spring village near here, I will take you to bathe and clean, and by the way, let people clean up here." ”

Shen Lingxi originally wanted to refuse.

But when she saw that the corpse of the man in black who was a foot away from them began to slowly float out of the corpse, she hurriedly changed her mind.

Those men in black were not long in mourning, and it was the time when the anger was at its heaviest, and if she stayed, it would inevitably make her so noisy that she couldn't even sleep.

Although Chu Yan is not good, the evil qi around his body can be regarded as having his own purification aura.

Shen Lingxi closed his eyes and nodded in response.

*

The hot spring Zhuangzi is at the foot of Cuilan Mountain, five miles away from Wangxian Village.

As soon as he entered Zhuangzi, Mu Huaian explained to his mother and took Shen Lingxi to Qifengzhai.

Qi Feng Zhai is the best hot spring courtyard in this Zhuangzi, which is exclusively used by the ladies of the Cheng'en Mansion.

The housekeeper's mother couldn't hide her surprise on her face, knowing that this woman must be unusual in the heart of her master.

was a little more respectful towards Shen Lingxi, and took her to freshen up without mentioning it.

And Mu Huai'an invited Chu Yan to Ruichun Pavilion, where he entertained distinguished guests.

The hot spring water washed away the blood stains on his body, and finally eased Chu Yan's expression a lot.

Mu Huai'an solemnly confessed to him, "I was in a hurry, and I asked His Highness for forgiveness." ”

Chu Yan's cold gaze fell on his face, "In a hurry? Seeing that you are so nervous about her, what is your relationship with her? ”

"It didn't matter...... Later, there will be a relationship. ”

Mu Huai'an thought of Fang Cai, and saw her almost die under the sword of the man in black, and he felt his heart pounding, "I heard my grandmother mention it before, and she wanted me to marry the daughter of Xuanping Hou. Originally, I didn't have that idea, but now that I know her identity, I decided that it would be her. ”

Chu Yan frowned.

"Chunjun has checked her past, can you think clearly, this woman's origin is unknown, and she is thoughtful, if you want to marry her, the queen is afraid that she will not agree."

"Auntie, I have my own words." Mu Huai'an waved his hand indifferently, and when he mentioned Shen Lingxi, the corners of his lips unconsciously smiled a little, "I haven't known Shen Lingxi for a day or two, even if she is indeed a little weird sometimes...... But she's interesting! It's so much fun with her. ”

He said longingly: "I think about it, after marrying her in the future, I will let her disguise herself as a man and go with me every day to investigate the case. Then you can go to Jiangnan, and then you can go to Yunjiang...... It's definitely more fun. ”

Chu Yan: ......

"If it's just for that, you don't have to marry her." Chu Yan rarely patiently analyzed the pros and cons for others, "Aren't you able to investigate the case with her now?" The Chengen Mansion wants to be the housewife, not the post-mortem. If you really marry her back to the house, with her heart, the Mu family may not be able to tolerate her, and then the family will be restless, how can you investigate the case with peace of mind? ”

Mu Huai'an was unhappy, and raised his eyes, "The position of the prince and my unsuccessful brother can sit, let him marry a housewife, anyway, I will identify Shen Lingxi." ”

He smiled flatteringly at Chu Yan, "Brother, I know that the embroidered envoy is suspicious of her identity, so you will come to check on him personally." Now my brother has also seen it, she is just a weak woman who is powerless, why don't you let her go for the sake of our childhood affection? ”

After talking for a long time, it turned out that he was waiting for him here.

Chu Yan lowered his eyes and did not respond directly, but talked about tonight's assassination, "Those assassins used cloud-piercing arrows, and they were by no means ordinary killers. Gu Yuan thought that this was just a small case of buying a murderer, but now it seems that the real murderer is quite deeply involved. This matter involves the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, if you have the heart to marry Shen Lingxi, for the sake of justice, it is better to hand over this case to the embroidery envoy for trial, how about it? ”

Mu Huai'an secretly said that it was not good, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is too worried, I haven't talked to Shen Lingxi yet." At present, the man in black has a living mouth in this case, Feng Qi must know something, and the body of the magpie has not yet been found, and when I have checked these almost, I will show the file to His Highness, okay? ”

Chu Yan raised his eyes to look at him and smiled.

Mu Huai'an's eyebrows jumped, and he secretly wondered in his heart, it seemed that King Ning had a deep prejudice against Shen Lingxi, and before his marriage with Shen Lingxi was decided, it was better to mention it less in front of King Ning, so as not to cause extraneous branches.

Early in the morning of the second day, Shen Lingxi, who had been resting all night, came out of Qifeng Courtyard refreshed, and saw Mu Huai'an standing tall and jade, waiting at the door.

Until he got on the carriage looking back at Xian Village, he didn't see any trace of Chu Yan.

Shen Lingxi asked curiously, "What about Ning Liulang?" "It's not that I'm annoyed and angry, and I don't want to see her anymore.

"I went back to Beijing last night." Mu Huai'an hesitated for a few moments and explained to her: "When he was a child, he saw his mother fall from a rockery and die tragically in his arms. It shouldn't happen again in these two days. ”

It was the first time Shen Lingxi had heard of this.

Thinking of last night, she misunderstood that he was deliberately using her as a punching bag, and retaliated by rubbing blood on him, and guilt welled up in her heart.

"Then he's ...... Could something go wrong? She asked worriedly.

Mu Huai'an: ?

It was the first time he had seen such a look on Shen Lingxi's face.

"Hey, Shen Lingxi." Mu Huai'an's white and slender hand snapped his fingers in front of her eyes, "Have you ever heard a word?" ”

Shen Lingxi: "What words?" ”

Mu Huai'an: "Feeling sorry for a strange man is the beginning of bad luck." ”

Shen Lingxi: ...... There's nothing wrong with that.

Mu Huai'an looked at her, "Instead of worrying about him, you should worry about yourself." Do you know that now you've been targeted by the embroiderer? The cloud-piercing arrow used by the man in black last night is a thing in the army, it seems that this case is very involved, and it needs to be found out as soon as possible, if you wait for the embroidery envoy to intervene, your Shen family will be in trouble. ”
