Just as he was so dizzy that he was about to fall to the ground without support under his feet, a huge iron cage instantly fell directly above him, which was impartial and impartial, and just right in the middle.

In fact, from the moment he felt dizzy, he had already realized that he had fallen for Xiao Qingyu's scheme, deliberately planting peach branches in the palace and sprinkling peach blossom pollen, making him weak and incapacitated, using his hand to find the whereabouts of the scepter, and then imprison or kill him.

Rumo leaned weakly on the iron cage, but his hands were holding the scepter with the ability to reshape the illusion of the void, and his eyes were gloomy and cold, even though he was already in the cage, he still made people feel terrified.

There was gradually light around him, and two people gradually came in the firelight, one was Mu Jingyuan, the departed emperor who was supposed to take care of Mo Xiaoqin in the palace, and the other was Xiao Qingyu, a witch from his slumber.

"Brother Xiao said that Mr. Mo would find the whereabouts of the scepter, originally I didn't believe it, but I didn't expect you to find it. ”

Mu Jingyuan shook his head at Rumo, with a look of regret in his eyes.

"Brother Xiao said that you are most afraid of peach blossoms, and I didn't believe it, but I didn't expect you to be so vulnerable. I couldn't bear to kill you, but I can't feel at ease that you're such an inhuman monster in the world. ”

Mu Jingyuan glanced at the archers who had been preparing for a long time, and the archers immediately understood, and countless bows and arrows stabbed towards Rumo at the same moment. However, this bow and arrow is not made of ordinary wood, but specially made of peach wood, and the iron tip of the arrow is specially coated with peach pollen.

Rumo tried his best to keep the bow and arrow at a distance of about ten inches from him, hanging in the air. However, this state lasted only for a moment, and when he lost his strength, the dense arrows pierced through the halo he had created, and then stabbed into his body without hesitation.

He lay on the ground, the blood oozing from his body dyed the bluestone platform beside him a dark red, his eyes were struggling to open wide, and the coldness and fierceness in his eyes were not diminished by his dying breath in the slightest.

The iron cage imprisoned on him had been raised, Mu Jingyuan walked towards him with a smug face, slowly squatted down, patted Rumo's cheek very presumptuously and even with contempt, and then wiped away the blood that overflowed from the corner of Rumo's mouth.

"This time, you're defeated, and you've lost everything. ”

Mu Jingyuan smiled evilly, quickly took the scepter in Rumo's hand into his hand, and then turned to leave.

Vaguely, Mu Jingyuan seemed to hear words like ink and silk, hazy and illusory.

"Xiaoqin, good ...... Be kind to ...... She. ”

It has been three days since she returned to King Ning's Mansion, and in the past few days, what Ye Ningxiang has done every day is to sleep. Even she admires herself very much, as long as she wants to sleep, she can really fall asleep.

Since witnessing Daddy Mo's death, Mu Xize seems to have become sensible, and he no longer cries for no reason, but more often sits quietly beside Ye Ningxiang, looking at her or smiling at her with a pair of very charming peach blossom eyes.

Rumo has been healing Mu Xize's luck for three days, and it is false to say that Ye Ningxiang is not worried at all, but whenever she is worried, she always thinks that Rumo is excellent in kung fu, and there is no opponent in today's world, and a hanging heart is naturally put down.

Early this morning, Ye Ningxiang fed Mu Xize some porridge, and then taught him to speak as usual and teach him to do things like ordinary people.

Ma Zhong, who is the most eccentric on weekdays, also has a sad face every day, even to the point of deliberately avoiding Mu Xize. However, at this time, he ran to Ye Ningxiang in a hurry, and took a few breaths before speaking.

"Qin Mingyue, Lord Qin came to visit the prince, and he had already entered the palace at this time. ”

Qin Mingyue, Ye Ningxiang had already met twice before, and when she returned to Jing'an this time, the most shocking thing she heard was that Qin Mingyue, the former general of Zhenguo, who had resigned for many years, returned to officialdom with the official position of Taifu.

And as far as she knew, the reason why Qin Mingyue was able to become a Taifu was all due to Xiao Qingyu's recommendation. When she heard that Qin Mingyue had come to visit, her heart suddenly wrinkled, and every nerve in her whole person tensed, for fear that Qin Mingyue would do something to hurt Mu Xize.

However, he hasn't seen him for about two months, Qin Mingyue seems to be a lot older, although he still has a refined temperament, but the gray of his temples makes his whole person look tired.

Knowing that Qin Mingyue was now holding the title of the emperor's teacher, Ye Ningxiang respectfully saluted Qin Mingyue, and then pulled Mu Xize to bow to Qin Mingyue.

Seeing Mu Xize with this appearance, Qin Mingyue's face turned pale instantly, and her eyebrows twitched slightly, as if she couldn't accept such a fact for a while.

Mu Xize didn't know why, but he also felt that Qin Mingyue's slightly moving eyebrows were very funny, and he couldn't help but smooth out Qin Mingyue's frowning brows, looking at his successful masterpiece, he couldn't stop smirking.

"How long has he been like this?"

Qin Mingyue's voice was very low, and there seemed to be something in his throat pressing against his Adam's apple, making him say every word with difficulty.

Being asked by Qin Mingyue like this, Ye Ningxiang also fell back into guilt and melancholy, and sighed lightly and said, "It's been a month and a half." ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was embarrassing to the extreme, Ye Ningxiang tried to change the topic with a calm mind and said: "Lord Qin has resigned for many years, why do you want to enter the court again to go to the troubled waters as an official." ”

Qin Mingyue smiled faintly, her eyes were filled with heavy sadness, just looking at him would be disturbed by his expression at the moment.

"In life, not everything can be chosen by your personal will. ”

In the next few hours, the only thing Qin Mingyue did was to let Mu Xize know him and get close to him.

And the price he paid for this was that his clothes became messy, and his hair, which was originally neatly tied by sandalwood hairpins, was also braided into several messy pigtails by Mu Xize, lying on his head one by one.

He was not annoyed, and even showed a look of joy, because Mu Xize had been able to take the initiative to get close to him and learn to call him "Master." ”

If it weren't for the series of tragedies caused by his theft of the royal seal, Mu Xize would not have fallen to the point where he is today, even if Mu Xize was so ridiculous that he cut off his head with a long knife in his hand, he would never complain.

When Mrs. Haitang came to King Ning's mansion, what she saw was Qin Mingyue with a bunch of pigtails on her head, her clothes were messy, and she looked like a madman.

In the past, when she followed Mu Xize as Mu Xize's concubine, she was fortunate to meet Qin Mingyue once, at that time, Qin Mingyue was elegant with majesty, gentle and tenacious, like a dragon and phoenix among people who are unique in the world.

Seeing that Qin Mingyue had no charm and demeanor at this time, standing there like a crazy woman, Haitang was both surprised and sympathetic.

But when she really saw her former husband, Junning Wang Mu Xize, her surprise and sympathy instantly turned into uncontrollable grief, and teardrops of bean size kept pouring out of her eyes one after another.

Regardless of her body that was more than seven months pregnant, she quickly ran to Mu Xize, looked at Mu Xize with teary eyes, and touched Mu Xize's shoulders with trembling hands.

Although Mu Xize was afraid, he also realized that this strange woman was worried about him from the bottom of her heart, so she did not resist or howl, but quietly let Begonia vent her inner grievances by his side.

On this day, Qin Mingyue and Haitang both stayed in King Ning's Mansion until late before leaving, obviously they could meet at any time, but their eyes still revealed strong reluctance.

Just like Ye Ningxiang, for Mu Xize's sudden change, Haitang and Qin Mingyue were both difficult to accept at first, and then they would slowly get used to Mu Xize's stupidity, and then they would be glad that he now has hands and feet, can eat and sleep, and is still living in this world normally.

In the next five days, Haitang simply moved into King Ning's Mansion and helped Ye Ningxiang do the necessary training for Mu Xize every day.

However, Ye Ningxiang is obviously absent-minded, since the last time she was separated outside the palace, she has not seen Rumo for eight days, during which she used the excuse of visiting the sick Mo Xiaoqin to explore Rumo's whereabouts, but she was stopped by the eunuch guarding in front of the emperor's bedroom, not to mention exploring Rumo's whereabouts, she didn't even see Mo Xiaoqin or even the emperor's face.

The woman's intuition told her that there must be something wrong between Rumo and Mo Xiaoqin, but she was closed to news and didn't know what was wrong.

These days, Wei Xun is always the dragon without seeing the end, busy day by day, and it seems to be a little mysterious. Ye Ningxiang thought that some time ago, he accompanied him to deal with the plague, and accumulated too many official duties, so that he would be so busy every day.

Probably Ye Ningxiang was so anxious that she couldn't bear it, and early in the morning of the ninth day of Rumo's disappearance, Ye Ningxiang hurried to Dali Temple, wanting to tell Wei Xun about the confusion in her heart.

Wei Xun did not return from the early dynasty, and Ye Ningxiang wandered alone in his study. Wei Xun is a strict and serious person, and his study is as neat and tidy as he is, with a glance, which makes people not want to leave when they come. Being able to touch the talent of Wei Dacai can be regarded as her Ye Ningxiang's trip in vain, so Ye Ningxiang swaggered and sat on the chair where Wei Xun was reading and reviewing the dossier, stretching her limbs to the maximum extent, and her expression was very comfortable.

Turning her head lazily, she suddenly saw some piece of paperwork peeking out of the corner in the drawer under the desk. Ye Ningxiang has always been a very curious master, taking advantage of Wei Xun's failure to return, her eyes widened as if she was a thief, opened the drawer, and took out the stack of papers.

When she saw the whole picture, her pink cheeks turned white, and she involuntarily sat down in her chair, her eyes staring straight at the stack of papers in her hand.

The stack of papers had yellowed and seemed to be old, and it was easy to identify the case file from the size of the paper. However, this case is nothing else, but the case of her biological father, Su Zhiwu, the general of Zhenguoda.

How could a person who had never met her father, who had never had any contact with her, go to great lengths, even to steal this top-secret file?

As soon as Wei Xun entered Dali Temple, he heard the news that Ye Ningxiang had come to look for him, and the depression of many days was swept away, and there was an indissipable smile on the whole person's face. He slowly pushed open the door of the study, his words full of joy.

"Ningxiang, I've kept you waiting. ”

But when he saw Ye Ningxiang sitting on his chair as if he was greatly stimulated, and saw that the stack of documents in Ye Ningxiang's hand was the file of Su Zhiwu's counter-case, he who had always been calm instantly panicked.

"Condensation...... Ningxiang, why are you looking for me?"

Ye Ningxiang raised her head and looked at Wei Xun's eyes showing a strangeness that she had never seen before, which made Wei Xun panic in the bottom of her heart and tingle in her heart.

"Why do you have Su Zhiwu's file?"

Wei Xun pretended to be calm, tried to squeeze out a smile, and looked at Ye Ningxiang as if nothing happened.

"The scourge of the plague in Linzhou has been lifted, and the emperor has already convicted King Yu of the crime, and there is no important case in Dali Temple at the moment. ”
