Mu Youning was stunned, Prime Minister Xie Min?

The anger and murderous intent that flashed on the face of the leader of the man in black made Mu Youning and Bai Yujin understand that this man in black was not lying.

But Xie Mintang, the prime minister, is above 10,000 people under one person, and there are many people under him, and only Mu Feng can compete with him above the court.

If he came for the Mu family, there was no need to send someone to kill him at this time, after all, everyone in the court now knew that she Mu Youning came to Wancheng to investigate the case of the Wu family and Liu Cheng, and this case also involved the forbidden art that had been missing for a hundred years.

If he did it at this time, Xie Min would inevitably involve himself in these two cases.

Although he, Xie Min, as the emperor's concubine, is deeply trusted by the emperor, but the hundred years of bloody witchcraft make the emperor even more jealous, because killing a Mu Youning and attracting the emperor's suspicion is not worth it at all for Xie Min.

If it was because of Bai Yujin, it should be even more impossible.

Bai Yujin's background is not even clear to the four royal families, let alone that he did not enter the court as an official in any country, even if his reputation is loud, he is just a person in the rivers and lakes.

It's really not worth Xie Min to send a dead soldier to assassinate him.

If it wasn't for her and Bai Yujin, it could only show that Xie Min was already related to the Wu family and even Liu Cheng's case.

A few days ago, at the flower viewing banquet, Wu Aiqin was poisoned, and the other party obviously didn't know that she had been hit by the Gu, and the amount of poison was very large, obviously to kill her with one blow, and not give Wu Aiqin any chance to survive.

The other party did this, firstly, because he really wanted Wu Aiqin's life, secondly, to fight Concubine Dong and Qi Siyuan, and thirdly, to frame her Mu Youning by the way, which would not only lead to trouble but also hit the Mu family.

And as the emperor got older, the matter of establishing a prince was put on the table.

Today's saint heirs are not plump, a total of eight princes, except for the tenth prince and the thirteenth prince who were young last year, only the second emperor born to the queen, the fifth prince born to Concubine De and the fourth prince born to Concubine Dong have the strength to compete for the East Palace.

Such a plan to kill three birds with one stone, now it seems that it is indeed the most beneficial for the Xie family and Concubine Dong.

If Mu Youning suspected that the other party had poisoned Wu Aiqin's wine before, it might have been just a target chosen at random, but today's assassination made her understand that the other party's target was Wu Aiqin from the beginning.

It's just why Xie Min wanted to kill the daughter of a little assassin, and even sent someone to kill himself and Bai Yujin.

Mu Youning thought like this, and glanced at Bai Yujin.

Suddenly, her fingertips moved slightly, and there were two more silver needles in her hand.

She raised her hand and stabbed the silver needle into the ears of the two Assassins.

The two Assassins tilted their heads and fell asleep.

"I ordered their sleeping holes. With that, Mu Youning turned around and sat back at the table, Bai Yujin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and also walked over and sat next to her.

Mu Youning looked at him and asked, "How to deal with these two people, what does Bai Gongzi think?"

They are now alone, although they can hand over these two people to the prefect of Ningcheng, but it is difficult to guarantee that this person is not Xie Min's eagle claws.

But the two of them were in a hurry to Wancheng, obviously it was unrealistic to take people with them or send them to the criminal department.

"Killed?" Bai Yujin asked with a feather fan against his chin and a wink of his eyes.

Mu Youning frowned: "No, these two people are witnesses." ”

Bai Yujin took out a gourd from his waist for a long time, took a sip, handed it to Mu Youning and said: "General Mu knows that it is impossible to bring down Xie Min with these two people, and when the time comes, he only needs to say that he does not know this person, and assassinate the person in the prison afterwards, and there will be no proof of death at that time, and the emperor will not suspect a minister just based on your words and me." ”

He paused, glanced at Mu Youning, and said: "Especially the emperor is still afraid of the Mu family, for the emperor, there must be a Xie Min in the court to compete with the Mu family." No matter what, you can't shake him, at least not yet. ”

"It's not just because I can't move, but also for the safety of the Mu family. ”

Mu Youning's eyes flashed, and he took the wine gourd and took a sip.

She understood what Bai Yujin said, even if the emperor agreed to her to take over the case so easily, he also wanted to strip her from the army and weaken the military power of her Mu family.

It's called promotion, but it's actually a derogation.

An inspector with no real power, once this case is over, she is an idle official.

"You're right, but these two can't be killed, although they can't bring down Xie Min now, they can't one day. A flash of light flashed in Mu Youning's eyes: "After all, his target is not only my Mu family, when he aims the tip of his knife at the other party, he will also become the target of the other party." ”

Bai Yujin hooked her lips and smiled, and suddenly said, "If Miss Mu can trust me, how about handing over these two to me?"

Mu Youning was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly smiled: "Why not!"

"Although I don't know your background or origin, you and I are now comrades-in-arms who have lived and died together, and on the battlefield, you can hand over your backs to your comrades. ”

Bai Yujin was shaken by her smile, his eyes flashed, and he raised his head to take a sip of wine: "Has Miss Mu always trusted others so easily?"

Hearing this, the smile on Mu Youning's face subsided a little, and she slowly shook her head, she turned around and walked to the window, tapped the windowsill with her toes, and the whole person jumped onto the roof.

Bai Yujin raised his eyes and looked out the window, and the hand holding the wine jug tightened tightly and followed.

When he stood on the roof, he saw Mu Youning lying on it, with stars above his head and thousands of lights under his feet.

At that moment, he felt a little calm.

Without a word, he walked over and lay down beside her.

The two of them looked at the stars and remained silent.

Until Mu Youning suddenly opened his mouth and broke the silence.

"I'm not gullible, but for some reason, you make me want to believe it. She said: "I used to be gullible, and the end was very miserable. ”

Bai Yujin turned his head and accidentally crashed into her eyes.

At this time, there were no stars in her eyes, only herself, but he felt that at this moment, her eyes carried thousands of stars.

At this moment, in the distance, out of nowhere, a burst of fireworks was ignited.

The fireworks that rushed to the sky made a loud "bang" sound, lighting up the sky and the earth, and at the same time, it also woke up the white jade brocade.

Only then did he realize that at some point, Mu Youning had already stood up.

She stood not far away.

Standing in the wind, watching the fireworks in the distance.

The side face is gentle as water, and the eyes are full of sparks.

Suddenly, Mu Youning turned her head and smiled at him, the breeze raised her long hair, and the smile at this moment was ten thousand times more beautiful than the colorful fireworks.

"Bai Yujin, I think it's good to be alive. ”

Bai Yujin was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and chuckled: "Hmm." ”

Yes, it's good to be alive, so in order to live, too many people can't help themselves, because they carry the expectations of more people.
