Mu Huai'an: ???

He was stunned for a moment before he realized what Shen Lingxi was talking about.

The news was like a bolt from the blue to him.

It completely disrupted his plan for the future of the two of them.

He originally thought that Shen Lingxi just didn't understand love and hadn't opened his mind yet, as long as he could keep the clouds open and see the moon, he still had a chance.

But I didn't expect that-

She would agree to marry Chu Yan.

This...... How can it be!

Mu Huai'an's throat was dry, and he said with difficulty: "Didn't you say it before...... Do you want to stay in the capital and concentrate on making Shen's coffin bigger and stronger? ”

"Why did you suddenly decide to marry him?"

"You should know that after becoming the crown princess, you can't easily show your head outside. You've always been willing to die for people...... After marrying him, he is a member of the royal family, how can he do these jobs? And the coffin shop left by your Ah Weng, what should you do with it? Fu'an Shantang has just begun to have some scale, do you want to give up halfway? ”

Shen Lingxi didn't expect that he would ask these questions one after another.

These are the things she wants to do, and is doing.

I have to admit that Mu Huai'an has known her long enough. I really know her very well.

"If I say what I want to do, I'll keep doing it and do it well." Shen Lingxi said softly: "Shaoqing doesn't have to worry about me. ”

Mu Huai'an closed his eyes, opened his eyes again, and his tone couldn't help but be a little sharp: "How to do it?" As the imperial concubine, what female virtues, female commandments, female training, what palace rules, palace training, and palace prohibitions, have you ever understood? ”

"Do you know that as soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, this place is like a cannibalistic cage, there is no freedom, what happened last night will be staged from time to time in the future, you have already experienced it, is it not enough for you to know all this clearly?"

Although his tone was aggressive, Shen Lingxi could hear the hidden concern in it.

Shen Lingxi was moved: "I know ......"

"No, you don't."

Mu Huai'an lowered his voice: "The things you did to manipulate the corpse were already shocking and unacceptable to the world, and when the time came, it would definitely be poked in the back by the courtiers." ”

"You're still used to the Xuanmen technique. The first prince Liangdi, just because she was the princess of Yunguo, was accused of being defeated by a witch Gu and killing the prince, let alone you? ”

"Have you ever thought that the Queen Mother and the Emperor are so fond of His Royal Highness, once your reputation is in the way of him, what will they do to you?"

Mu Huai'an's questioning was said quickly and urgently, pouring out all the worries in his heart.

I hope to make Shen Lingxi sober up.

Shen Lingxi thought about it and felt that his worries were not unreasonable, "What Mu Shaoqing said is extremely true. ”

Mu Huai'an's expression was slightly relaxed, just listen to persuasion.

However, the next moment-——

"If I get married, I can't continue to do these things in my own name." Shen Lingxi asked seriously: "That...... I changed my appearance, changed my appearance, changed my identity to do it, no one knew it was me, so I shouldn't have this kind of worry, right? ”

Mu Huai'an is a stalk.

He frowned and looked at Shen Lingxi, "Are you being lowered?" Or was it taken away by some lonely ghost? ”

Shen Lingxi blinked.

She's the lonely ghost.

How to answer this question?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Mu Huai'an took a deep breath and slowed down his tone: "Then have you ever thought about it, even if you change your appearance and change your identity, you are already the concubine of Your Highness, Your Highness has always acted with dignity and dignity, and there is no room for sand in your eyes, and Your Majesty is extremely strict." Can he allow you to run around all day? ”

"He'll agree." Shen Lingxi replied firmly.

In the clear apricot eyes, there was complete trust in Chu Yan.

She believed that since the imperial grandson had promised her three conditions, he would not break his promise with his usual character.

Mu Huaian looked at her appearance on the "love brain", and she was about to laugh angrily.

It's just that, in addition to being angry, an indescribable sullenness, like a vine, grows wildly in his chest.

He asked with a lot of disgust, "You like him so much?" Like to trust him unconditionally, give up everything for him, and seek fulfillment of grievances? You...... Or is it not the Shen Lingxi I know, who acts neatly and never compromises? ”

Shen Lingxi could see the unwillingness and hurt in his eyes.

She thought about it for a while, and said softly: "In the past few years of acquaintance, I have to take care of Shaoqing, I am very grateful." It's just that even if I don't marry Chu Yan this time, I have always only regarded Shaoqing as a close friend, and I have never promised to marry you before, and I will never consider marrying you in the future. ”

"Shaoqing is open-minded, and his favorite thing to do is to punish evil and promote good, and pursue his dreams, but he shouldn't be trapped and wasted for his children's private affairs. Please also ask Shaoqing to cherish himself, don't waste precious emotions on me. ”

Mu Huai'an looked deeply into Shen Lingxi's eyes.

Her eyes are as calm and clear as in the past, like the best glass in the world, so pure that they are not stained with dust.

Mu Huai'an only felt that his heart was densely entangled by those vines, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't breathe.

Whether it's a waste or not, it's not her final say.

If people can really control their emotions freely, where are there so many crazy men and women in this world.

Mu Huai'an lowered his eyes to hide the obscure emotions under his eyes.

Since she said that she wanted to marry Chu Yan, she wanted to come to the holy decree or the queen mother's decree, and there must be one on the way.

He was married once by Shen Lingxi, so he naturally understood that no one could force her to do what she was unwilling to do.

Mu Huaian kept telling himself that he wanted to marry Shen Lingxi because he wanted to handle the case with her.

But today, when he learned that she was going to marry someone else, he deeply understood-——

No.

He had never wanted to be with her.

Walk all over the mountains and rivers of Dazhou together, punish evil and promote good together, hoe the strong and help the weak.

Without her, all this would be a loss of color for him.

Mu Huaian never thought that there would be such a day.

Listening to Shen Lingxi himself, he wanted to marry someone else.

This taste hurts so much.

Shen Lingxi: "Mu Huai'an......"

Mu Huai'an swallowed the bitterness in her throat and interrupted her words, "Shen Lingxi...... Don't take yourself too seriously. ”

He deliberately snorted in a tone that he had not cared about before.

"Master just valued your ability before, and I was afraid that you would become the crown princess in the future, so you would no longer handle cases for me.

"Since you are sure that even if you marry into the royal family in the future, you can be as ...... as before"

"Then the little master will wait and see."

"Hopefully everything will turn out as you wish. Don't find out that you're jumping into a fire pit, but come to beg the master to save you...... Xiao Ye is not the kind of person who comes and goes when he is called. ”

"You...... Don't want me to make it easy. ”

Putting down these words in a deep voice, Mu Huai'an's hand hidden in his sleeve, pinched his palm, crossed Shen Lingxi, and strode towards Shou'an Palace.

Shen Lingxi looked at his back and breathed a sigh of relief silently.

*

At the same time, the imperial study of the Shotoku Palace.

The emperor heard Chu Yan's report on what happened last night, and his brows furrowed.

"Do you suspect this, and there is another behind it?" The Emperor asked.

Chu Yan lowered his eyes, "Yes." The Mu family said that when Mu Xue'e went to Huguo Temple to offer incense five years ago, she startled the horse, and it was Danzhu, who was disguised as a beggar, who rushed up to save her. ”

"Danzhu has a life-saving grace for Mu Xue'e, the Mu family pities Danzhu's beggar's body, and wants to give a generous gift, but Danzhu just wants to stay by Mu Xue'e's side to serve, Zhou saw that she knew some Qihuang techniques, so he agreed to keep her."

"When Danzhu rescued Mu Xue'e, it was when Imperial Physician Liu's family was beheaded. Danzhu has been recuperating in the suburbs of Beijing and living in the boudoir, so no one recognizes her, so she escaped. ”

"But she's a boudoir woman, and she can't escape the pursuit of the internal guards. At this time, she couldn't hide, how could she dare to appear in Huguo Temple in a grand manner, and dare to save people in front of everyone? ”

"This matter must have been arranged by someone behind the scenes, taking advantage of the deep blood feud between the Zhou family and the Liu family, and burying a nail in the Mu family."

The embroidered envoy interrogated the four Yu Lin Wei overnight, and they were instructed by Danzhu to take advantage of the chaos to kill the Duchess of Chengen. It is no coincidence that these four people were all people in the family who had received the favor of Dr. Liu before they were in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and it was only during this mausoleum sacrifice that they were temporarily transferred back to the palace. ”

They confessed, and in this action, Danzhu did not directly instruct them, but sent an old eunuch to connect with them, and the old eunuch asked them to move Mu Xue'e's body from the abandoned palace to the Dizang Palace. also asked them to assist Danzhu and kill the Zhou family to take revenge. ”

When the emperor heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Have you caught the old eunuch?" ”

"I didn't catch it." Chu Yan said in a deep voice: "The people in the palace said that the eunuchs over fifty years old in the palace were released at the beginning of the year, and the palace has never seen these four old eunuchs described by Yu Linwei. This old eunuch must have a disguise, and he was sent behind the scenes. Mu Xue'e's death should have been planned by them in advance, and it was no coincidence. ”

The emperor twisted his eyebrows, "What's going on with the underground palace of the Jizo Palace, can it be related to the people behind this scene?" ”

Chu Yan: "The other party intends to move Mu Xue'e's body to the Dizang Palace, the purpose is to let people discover the dungeon, and then discover ...... The name of the concubine is engraved on the wall. ”

Speaking of the first crown princess, Chu Yan's voice was low.

"How can it be?" The emperor was so angry that he paced back and forth, and asked, "What is the origin of this underground palace, can you find out?" ”

Chu Yan raised his eyes and gestured to Su beside him.

Su Xian stepped forward and saluted: "The well above the underground palace is called the soul lock well, the soul lock well can lock the soul of the dead, this hidden palace is the place where the former and later concubines are buried and executed, and the resentment is extremely heavy. Burying the relics of those concubines in the eyes of the array can lock their souls and grievances in the well. ”

"The name of the former crown princess, like those former and later concubines, is engraved on the wall, which means that someone wants to use this soul lock well to lock the soul of the former crown princess in it. Those who can do this must have studied the Xuanmen technique, and they are extremely familiar with the affairs of the court of the previous dynasty, and they also have personal grudges with the former crown princess, so they can do such a vicious thing. ”

The emperor naturally recognized Su Xian's attainments in Xuanmen magic.

He knew that the death of the first crown princess was an inextricable knot for Chu Yan.

"It takes time to investigate the case, but this magic array must not be left any longer, can Su Jiu have a way to unravel this array?" The Emperor asked busily.

"If you destroy the Jizo Temple, you can destroy the Soul Lock Well. Only by doing transcendent rituals can we resolve grievances and send the souls of the dead to reincarnation. Su Xian said bluntly.

"Okay, just do as you say." The emperor didn't want to do it.

He said to Chu Yan in a gentle voice: "Liulang, don't be too sad about this matter and hurt your body." I leave this matter to you to stay and deal with, with Su Jiu assisting. The day after tomorrow, if you can't catch up, don't come, just go all out to catch the culprit and deal with the aftermath. ”

Chu Yan and Su Xian received the order.

Su Xian got Chu Yan's instructions in advance, knowing that he had something to say to the emperor, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his lips, he withdrew from the study first.

After the emperor finished explaining the matter, he saw that Chu Yan did not dodge like he had done the previous times, and he seemed to be in a hurry to leave for fear that he would ask something more.

He was a little surprised in his heart, and thought of the words that Gonggong Zhu had reported to him when he came back before, and the rumors that were boiling inside and outside the palace.

"Rokuro." The emperor coughed, "I heard Zhu Lianxi say that Miao Ling was in your dormitory last night?" ”

Seeing that he took the initiative to start, Chu Yan simply knelt down on one knee, "Minister, I implore the emperor to marry me and Shen Lingxi." The minister wants to marry her as a concubine, and she will be a couple for the rest of her life, grow old together, and ask the emperor to fulfill it. ”

When the emperor heard this, he had a straight face, and his expression was full of majesty and solemnity.

"Liulang, if it is because of those rumors that you want to marry someone outside the party as a concubine and break the stigma of your evil star, you don't have to do this, I will give a ban, and in the future, anyone who spreads rumors will be killed."

"The minister never cares what others think of the minister." Chu Yan said: "Shen Lingxi is the person who is truly pleasing to the minister, and the minister only wants to marry her as his wife in this life, and please fulfill the saint." ”

The emperor looked at him in surprise, "You hate monks and monks the most, how can you be so pleased with her?" ”

"That's the prejudice of the minister......"

Chu Yan's mind appeared that Shen Lingxi was wearing a Taoist robe, justifying the names of the corpses of the dead, and his voice was slightly warm: "Monks and Taoist priests are not all people who pretend to be gods and ghosts, they should not be judged by analogy as good and evil, and they should be hated, depending on what she has done." The minister likes her as a person, as long as she is by the minister's side, no matter what she does, the minister likes it. ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows high, it was the first time he saw the emperor's nephew, who had always been moody, showing such a look.

This appearance is very similar to the appearance of his imperial brother when he was about to marry the Xie family.

Thinking of them in the end, heaven and man are separated forever.

The emperor's majestic face was a little more embarrassed.

"Since you like her so much, I will naturally give you a marriage. Just ......"

The emperor sighed and said: "Our Chu family is now a thin heir, you said that you want to be with her for the rest of your life, but I can't indulge you, so let's do it, that Li Yuejiao was heavily implicated in this matter last night, you ......"

"Your Majesty!" Chu Yan's eyebrows were solemn, and his voice was cold to interrupt him: "The emperor has forgotten, how did Mu Xue'e die?" The minister is the fate of the Tiansha Lone Star, and the spirit rhino Dao method is profound, and he will not be restrained by the minister's fate, but if he is replaced by someone else...... I'm afraid that I have a life to marry, but I don't have a life. ”

"Please also ask the emperor to think twice, the minister will only marry Shen Lingxi in this life. If the emperor has to give the woman next to him to the minister, the minister can only prepare a coffin in front of the palace gate in advance and bury one by one. At that time, the ministers who married daughters in the DPRK and China were stiffened, and their reputation was not good. If the emperor feels that the ministers are overwhelmed, he can also let the eleventh brother ......"

"That's it!" The emperor waved his hand to interrupt him, "Prepare coffins, come and bury them one by one, do you really think that you are opening the coffin?" ”

"Although the minister didn't open it." Chu Yan lowered his eyes and said: "But Lingxi has the Shen family's coffin shop, which can be managed enough, in front of the Chenna Mansion, the place is big enough, and it is still enough to dig a pit and bury people......"

"Go, go!" The emperor waved his hand at him in disgust, "Zhu Lianxi said that you are afraid of guilt, and I still don't believe it, but now it seems that what you said is true." Stand down, and I'll think about it again......"
