Although the incident between Qi Mengyao and Rumo made Ye Ningxiang's impression of Mu Jingyuan extremely bad, but seeing that she had sacrificed her life to save herself, and treated her own lord and monarch with her heart and lungs, Ye Ningxiang still couldn't bear it.

After struggling in her heart for many days, Ye Ningxiang finally made up her mind to come to Zhaoyang Hall to comfort Mu Jingyuan.

In addition to Ye Ningxiang, there is another person outside Mu Jingyuan's dormitory, Xiao Qingyu seems to have been waiting outside the dormitory for a long time, and the steward eunuch should have also passed it on, but Mu Jingyuan neither allowed him to enter his dormitory, nor did he show up to meet Xiao Qingyu, who was already sweating profusely under the scorching sun.

In my impression, Xiao Qingyu is always gentle and elegant, dignified and generous, but like today, she is soaked in sweat and embarrassed, but Ye Ningxiang has never seen it.

Ye Ningxiang knew that the reason why Mu Jingyuan was able to catch Rumo was all with the help of Xiao Qingyu's strength, and the kindness in his heart for Xiao Qingyu's cultivation and upbringing in the past seven years was also consumed at all. When she saw him again, she would not be nervous, her heart would beat faster, she would not feel guilty, she would only have a strong hatred.

"I didn't expect that the first son in the world would have such an embarrassed posture today. ”

Ye Ningxiang sneered, watching Xiao Qingyu's gaze change from the original admiration to a kind of contempt that went deep into the bone marrow and was outright disappointed.

"It seems that Ning Xiang is resentful of what I am doing now. ”

Xiao Qingyu smiled slightly, looked at Ye Ningxiang's eyes with a complicated look, and continued: "People die for money, birds die for food, in my heart, power always comes first, and anything that hinders it should be removed without hesitation." ”

"People are doing it, the sky is watching, this blood debt will be paid to your head sooner or later. ”

Ye Ningxiang was angry in her heart, turned her head, no longer looked at Xiao Qingyu, and quickly walked towards the gate of the emperor's bedroom.

The gatekeeper wanted to try his best to stop it, but was rudely knocked to the ground by Ye Ningxiang's punch, holding the bloody corners of his mouth, kneeling on the ground and crying and shouting to Ye Ningxiang: "Princess, no! Princess, no!"

Because for half a month, the doors and windows of Mu Jingyuan's dormitory were always closed, and the moment Ye Ningxiang opened the door, a smell of old and stale mixed with a strong smell of wine came to his nose. Ye Ningxiang covered her mouth and nose, and walked quickly to the window to open the window for ventilation.

"Get out, get out of here!"

Mu Jingyuan didn't look up to see who it was, and directly threw out the wine glass and smashed it at Ye Ningxiang's forehead. The glass hit the ground and rolled a few more times, making a pleasant jingle sound. What happened simultaneously with this sound was the blood that instantly gushed out of Ye Ningxiang's forehead.

"Ningxiang. ”

The first to shout Ye Ningxiang's name was not Mu Jingyuan, who accidentally injured Ye Ningxiang, but Xiao Qingyu, who followed Ye Ningxiang into the emperor's bedroom.

I saw Xiao Qingyu quickly run to Ye Ningxiang's side, stretched out his sleeve and gently stroked Ye Ningxiang's cheek, carefully wiped the blood on Ye Ningxiang's face, and then grabbed the placket of Mu Jingyuan's clothes as if he had lost his mind, and his always gentle and elegant face became terrifying.

Mu Jingyuan never thought that anyone would dare to be so disrespectful to him, and he was shocked, and he was also sober from drunkenness. Seeing that Xiao Qingyu, who had always been respectful to him, was acting rudely at the moment, his eyes were cold, Mu Jingyuan looked stunned, and roared angrily: "Xiao Qingyu, are you looking for death?"

Xiao Qingyu let go of his hands and got up slowly, the coldness in his eyes did not decrease in the slightest, and his attitude towards Mu Jingyuan did not change in the slightest, as if he did not regard Mu Jingyuan as the emperor.

"For the sake of a woman, he abandoned the government and ignored the government, and he had a hangover all day long, but the emperor's life was extremely chic and happy!"

While speaking, Xiao Qingyu deliberately stepped back sideways, allowing Ye Ningxiang's injured forehead to show in front of Mu Jingyuan.

"Ye Ningxiang, why are you injured, who injured you? Imperial Doctor, quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor!"

Hearing such a question, Ye Ningxiang also felt a wave of anger rise in her heart, stared at Mu Jingyuan with wide eyes, and did not answer.

Seeing Ye Ningxiang's reaction like this, and recalling what he had done when he was drunk just now, Mu Jingyuan realized the big mistake he had made.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was careless, I ...... I didn't know it was you!"

Mu Jingyuan grabbed Ye Ningxiang's arm, and his words of self-blame and confession were urgent, and even trembled slightly, revealing his guilt and overwhelm.

Ye Ningxiang didn't pay attention to how he sincerely apologized to himself, and knelt directly in front of Mu Jingyuan after Mu Jingyuan finished speaking, raised his head, and looked at Mu Jingyuan solemnly, the blood flowing from her forehead made her cheeks a little cruel and bewitching out of thin air.

"Please let go of your children's personal feelings and focus on the country's social affairs. Don't drink alcohol every day and hurt your body. ”

"Ye Ningxiang" Mu Jingyuan just called out her name, as if she wanted to refute Ye Ningxiang. However, the rest of his words were cut off by Ye Ningxiang.

"Now that the plague of the plague in Linzhou has just been resolved, most of the people in the country have fallen into a dire situation, King Yu has fled, and he is nowhere to be found, and he does not know what kind of bloody storm will be set off in the future. At such a critical juncture, you really shouldn't be confined to the love of your children and put people's lives at risk. ”

Mu Jingyuan sneered, his eyes were sad and heart-wrenching.

"I'm tired and have no strength, let Mr. Xiao do the work of appeasing the people. ”

As if something suddenly came to mind, Mu Jingyuan suddenly turned his head to look at Xiao Qingyu, "Is it possible to overturn the case of Su Zhiwu's rebellion?"

"Back to Your Majesty, there are indeed many doubts in the case of Su Zhiwu's rebellion seven years ago, as long as you carefully consider it and scrutinize it repeatedly, you will definitely be able to find evidence to overturn the case. ”

"You can do things without worry. Mu Jingyuan patted Xiao Qingyu's shoulder and smiled tiredly.

Hearing that Mu Jingyuan wanted to overturn the case for Su Zhiwu, Ye Ningxiang was extremely happy in her heart, and her previous resentment towards Mu Jingyuan was almost faint, and she was even a little worried about Mu Jingyuan.

Ye Ningxiang knew that Xiao Qingyu had never approached Mu Jingyuan to help Mu Jingyuan achieve his grand hegemony, but just to subvert the government of the country. It stands to reason that she should have revealed Xiao Qingyu's bad intentions to Mu Jingyuan in advance, but whenever she thought of her tragically dead relatives and her vow of revenge, she still couldn't speak.

Regarding Mu Jingyuan's 100% trust in Xiao Qingyu, Ye Ningxiang was also puzzled in her heart, this Xiao Qingyu was obviously introduced to Mu Jingyuan by her, why did Mu Jingyuan's trust in Xiao Qingyu even surpass her, what magic power did Xiao Qingyu have in his body that could make this Mu Jingyuan, who said that wind is rain, obey him?

Mu Jingyuan wanted to overturn the case for her father because of Mo Xiaoqin, but if Xiao Qingyu was solely responsible for this case, I am afraid that this case would not be overturned, but it would take the lives of some more people. She must stop these tragedies from happening.

Since knowing that Mu Xize was not the culprit in her father's murder, Ye Ningxiang looked forward day and night to find the real culprit who framed her father's rebellion, but because of Mu Xize's poison and the plague in Rinzhou, the search for the real culprit was delayed again and again.

Now Mu Jingyuan took the initiative to thoroughly investigate the rebellion case of the year, but it was an excellent opportunity for Ye Ningxiang, she clasped her fists with both hands and respectfully waved at Mu Jingyuan and said: "Your Majesty, Ning Xiang dares to ask the emperor to allow me and Mr. Xiao to be jointly responsible for Su Zhiwu's rebellion case." ”

"If you're curious about this case, go and look into it. ”

Mu Jingyuan didn't think much about it, but Ye Ningxiang was curious about the rebellion case that caused a sensation in the whole country seven years ago, and responded to Ye Ningxiang's request very happily.

A quarter of an hour later, the imperial doctor from the Imperial Medical Department hurried to Zhaoyang Hall and neatly bandaged the wound on Ye Ningxiang's forehead. Mu Jingyuan was still strong because of the wine, and after watching Ye Ningxiang bandage the wound, he fell asleep on the bed.

Ye Ningxiang was in the Zhaoyang Hall with Xiao Qingyu, because Xiao Qingyu would have a dissatisfied reaction because Ye Ningxiang suddenly inserted a bar. However, contrary to Ye Ningxiang's expectations, Xiao Qingyu's face was calm and calm, as if he didn't take this case to heart.

"If Ning Xiang likes this case, I will hand over all the documents in this case to the Inspector General, and leave it to you to handle it. ”

Xiao Qingyu smiled, and even from his words, Ye Ningxiang could hear a trace of joy.

Probably seeing that Ye Ningxiang was puzzled by what he had done, Xiao Qingyu deliberately explained: "People's energy is limited, focusing on one thing will inevitably weaken attention to another, investigating the case is not much benefit to me, on the contrary, it will restrain my energy, if Ning Xiang likes it, I would like to give you this case." ”

"Okay, tomorrow, Lord Ming will just hand over the case documents directly to the Inspection Division. ”

said that Xiao Qingyu made a very real-sounding explanation of his own approach, but Ye Ningxiang always felt that Xiao Qingyu's intentions would never be so simple, and she was still vigilant in her heart, so she hurriedly threw down a sentence and hurriedly walked towards the palace gate, not wanting to look at Xiao Qingyu again.

Xiao Qingyu stood behind Ye Ningxiang, looking at Ye Ningxiang's departing back, until her figure was blocked by the palace wall and there was no trace of it, he sighed lightly, turned around slowly, and faced Qin Mingyue, who was standing behind him at some point.

There are hundreds of palaces in the Imperial Palace, and it is not difficult to find an empty place where no one is suitable to talk. At this moment, Xiao Qingyu and his uncle Qin Mingyue came to the deserted palace where Rumo had found the scepter before, very low-key.

The two were silent for a long time, and finally Xiao Qingyu broke the embarrassing silence first.

"Uncle, you are my relative, and I will not beat around the bush when dealing with my relatives. Xiao Qingyu deliberately paused at this point, his expression was serious, and then his words were low, and he said slowly word by word: "You are not an official to help me, but to harm me." ”

"Ah Yu, I know that you have the talent to govern the country, but let me see you murder more innocent people, I can't do it. ”

Xiao Qingyu sneered, looking up at the gloomy and dim sky, with a little sadness in his eyes.

"Whether it's for the innocent, or for your old lover, I know very well. But uncle, I hope you remember that their Mu family has a common enmity with us, and sooner or later the Mu family will fall into my hands. If you insist on stopping me, don't blame me for fighting with you. ”

"Is the country really so important to you?"

Qin Mingyue lowered her head, her voice was weak and hoarse, and she seemed to be very distressed.

Xiao Qingyu didn't answer anymore, the corners of his mouth rose and smiled slightly, and gradually disappeared into the hazy rain and mist.
