Early the next morning, Mu Youning and Zheng Qichang went to the imperial study to meet the emperor.

After the three of them explained the matter clearly, the emperor nodded: "In this case, Youning can be regarded as clearing the suspicion, and you have nothing to do with this matter." ”

Hearing this, Mu Youning stepped forward and said, "Thanks to Emperor Shengming, Youning has a chance to prove himself." ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows, pointed at her and laughed: "Hahaha, you look at her, now she is more and more articulate." ”

Zheng Qichang hurriedly said: "General Mu can fight on the battlefield, and Wen can judge and investigate the case, he is really a talent." ”

"Hmm. The emperor nodded: "At this time, Mu Qing is indeed doing well, and your position as General Ning Yuan can also be promoted." ”

When Mu Youning heard this, he lifted his robe, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the real culprit of this matter has not yet been found, and Youning has just cleared his suspicions, and he really has no credit." ”

"And a few days ago, I heard my father say that Wancheng County ordered Liu Cheng and Lord Liu to die mysteriously, and the cause of death has not been found out so far. ”

After discussing with Bai Gongzi, the ministers all believed that Lord Liu was likely to have also been poisoned by Gu, and the local people did not know Gu, so they had no way to find out the real cause of death. ”

"And the minister found a soapberry leaf on the body of Miss Wu, this tree is a unique tree in Wancheng, not owned by the capital. ”

"And the Wu family and the Liu family are in-laws, yesterday the minister also asked Miss Wu's maid Hongluan, and learned that before January, Miss Wu had indeed visited Liu's wife, that is, her aunt. ”

Therefore, Weichen has reason to suspect that Miss Wu's Gu case is related to Lord Liu's mysterious death, and Miss Wu is likely to be a Gu in Wancheng. ”

"Your Majesty, everyone knows the harm of Gu poison, if you let the people who hold Gu wantonly kill the people of my Qilin, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles. ”

When the emperor heard this, he glanced at her: "What does Mu Qing want?"

"Bai Gongzi and I have been involved in this case from beginning to end, and Bai Gongzi has excellent medical skills and is well-read and has a strong memory, so I asked the two of us to find out about this case and bring this person to justice. Mu Youning looked up at the emperor and said.

Since she is in charge of this matter, there is no reason to give up halfway.

And for some reason, she always felt that there was a huge conspiracy behind these two things.

It is even related to the destruction of her Mu family in her previous life.

Why did an innocent official woman attract many people to kill, and what is the secret behind her?

Why did a small county magistrate suddenly die at home, and what was written in the letter he received before he died?

And these two cases involve forbidden techniques --- witchcraft that have disappeared for a hundred years.

Why did the poisoner suddenly target her?

What is the secret behind this?

Mu Youning lowered his eyes, covering the thoughts under his eyes.

The emperor played with the Buddhist beads in his hand, pondered for a while, and then said: "Yes, from now on, General Feng Ningyuan Mu Youning will be the supervision envoy, and within three months, the case will be ascertained." ”

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty. ”

"Well, go down, I'm tired. The Emperor waved his hand at the crowd.

"The ministers retired. ”

The three of them exited the study.

"Congratulations to Lord Mu, when these two cases are settled, Lord Mu has a bright future. Zheng Qichang walked and bowed towards Mu Youning.

"Lord Zheng is polite, this matter is thanks to Lord Zheng's help. Mu Youning returned the salute.

The corners of Zheng Qichang's mouth curved slightly, "It's just a gesture." ”

......

Bai Yujin raised his eyebrows and said lazily: "Lord Mu, this is all out of the palace, we have to rush to Wancheng, and it will be dark if we continue to talk." ”

Zheng Qichang originally wanted to say a few more words, but it was not good to say anything at this time, so he had to say goodbye and leave.

Mu Youning hooked his lips and smiled, turned over and got on his horse: "I want to go back to the house to see my father first, and I'll see you at the city gate tonight." ”

With that, she rode away.

Bai Yujin looked at her back and smiled.

He fell backwards, lay on his back on the horse, folded his legs around the horse's neck, put his hands to his lips, and whistled softly.

The red rabbit under him turned around and walked slowly towards the suburbs.

When the sun sets, there are horses, songs and breezes, but there is a sense of comfort.

As soon as Bai Yujin walked out of the city gate, a man dressed in black flashed, and he knelt down on one knee in front of him: "Young master." ”

Bai Yujin sat up and looked down at him from above: "How?"

"Nakshatra-sama said that it was indeed her. Bai Feng hurriedly replied, with joy in his eyes.

Bai Yujin responded lightly, his eyes were dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"You go back to Juxian Valley first. ”

"Yes, young master. ”

After speaking, the figure of the man in black flashed, and in a few ups and downs, he disappeared.

At this time, after Mu Youning said goodbye to Bai Yujin, he went straight back to the General's Mansion.

As soon as she entered the mansion, she was told that Mu Feng was waiting for her in the study.

After handing over the horse in her hand, she hurried to the study.

The guard guarding the door, seeing her coming, hurriedly opened the door respectfully: "Miss, the master commanded, you can just go in directly when you come, you don't have to pass it on." ”

Mu Youning nodded, walked in and stood still at the desk.

"Daddy, Youning is back. She said respectfully.

Mu Feng looked her up and down, and saw that she had no scars on her body, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good to come back." ”

"Daddy, I heard that you asked the emperor to take over Liu Cheng's case?"

"Hmm. Mu Youning nodded.

Mu Feng's face sank: "Confused, you! I will go back to Your Majesty tomorrow, and I will say that you are young and ignorant, and you can't take on this heavy responsibility." ”

Mu Youning was stunned: "Daddy, why is this?"

"Do you know that Gu poison is a forbidden technique that everyone in the Xuanyuan Continent avoids?" Mu Feng stood up with his hands behind his back, sighed and said: "A hundred years ago, the blood of the Xuanyuan Continent flowed like a river, and the blood of many Gu masters stained this land red, and now these people are making a comeback, they are carrying the blood of countless people from their ancestors, they hate the people of the four countries, I am afraid that this must be a big conspiracy." ”

"Daddy really doesn't want you to get involved, you know?"

Mu Youning's heart warmed: "Daddy is afraid that Youning will be injured, but Youning understands it." But my father taught me since I was a child that the most important thing in killing the enemy on the battlefield is a bold word, and what is other than the word courage is a strategy. ”

"If I knew it was dangerous, I would be afraid, how to be my father's daughter, how to be worthy of my father's years of teaching. ”

Mu Feng was stunned when he heard this, relieved and worried.

After a while, he sighed: "That's it, you should take care of yourself." ”

Mu Youning hooked his lips and smiled: "Youning knows." ”

Mu Feng nodded and asked her to retreat.

He looked at Mu Youning's back, shook his head, walked to the window, looked at the moon above his head, and said softly: "Maybe all this is Youning's fate." ”
