Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 557 Don't jump into the pit

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the wind is getting faster and faster.

The two don't have knives in their hands, but their moves are fatal, with the wind and rain in their hands, they are determined to kill each other.Shangguan Xu is old but physically strong, while Yan Mu is young and physically weak.

After hundreds of strokes, both of them were struggling.

After a killer move, they looked at each other in the rain, Shangguan Xu panted secretly, the current situation was indeed beyond his expectation.First of all, he didn't expect Yan Mu to see the game of chess so clearly, and he was determined not to let Han Zicheng go.Secondly, he was also amazed that Yan Mu was almost crippled in Beijin, but now his kung fu is still so good, and even improved.Thirdly, maybe it's because he's old or maybe it's because Yan Mu's eyes are terrified of him, which makes him feel a little scared.

And here Yan Mu stood in the rain, as if solid as a mountain, but his hands were trembling under the sleeves.It's almost a tie. In fact, he tried his best to fight like this. If he continues to fight, his flaws will soon be exposed.

The two were thinking about each other, but at this moment, Dahei shouted: "The criminal Han Zicheng died because of his injuries!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Xu's face suddenly darkened, while Yan Mu burst out laughing.

"You killed the chief eunuch next to the emperor, you... so courageous!" Shangguan Xu shouted.

Yan Mu snorted, "The emperor can rest easy."

"you!"

"But Han Zicheng is dead, I really want to enter the palace to give an explanation to the emperor."

After finishing speaking, Yan Mu let out a cold snort, turned around and walked towards the hallway, and saw Liu Yunxiang still huddled in the corner, he opened his umbrella, pulled her in, and walked out together.

"I'll take you home first."

Liu Yunxiang asked worriedly: "Are you going to enter the palace?"

"Well, the emperor needs to put on a show, and I have to cooperate with him, otherwise the end will be even worse."

"After what happened tonight, I probably guessed it."

"So you see how deep the pit is."

"I'm sorry." Liu Yunxiang apologized again, this time with more sincerity.

Yan Mu let out a long breath, "You let them kill Han Zicheng?"

"Ah."

"well done."

Yan Mu sent her back to the mansion, changed her clothes and entered the palace.When he left, she asked her to go to bed early, so she didn't have to wait for him, but how could Liu Yunxiang sleep well.After waiting like this until dawn, Yan Mu came back completely wet.

The rain was still falling, and he knelt all night in the rain of His Highness.

The emperor didn't see him, and only asked the eunuch to tell him in the morning that since the murderer has been caught and the murderer has been punished, the case should be closed as soon as possible.

"Do you really want to close the case like this?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

Yan Mu shook his head, "Wait a little longer."

"Wait for what?"

"Wait for someone to show up."

Now that the emperor has spoken, the case should be closed as soon as possible. Yan Mu wanted to delay it, so he had to find a reason. It happened to be a night of rain, and he was indeed ill, so he decided to make it worse. After all, the emperor thought It is very clear why his body is so weak.

After breakfast, Liu Yunxiang stood in front of the house, and it rained heavily all night. At this time, the rain was still heavy and fast.Jinyan led Xingyi and Yan'er to play in the living room, the weather turned cold, and both children put on jackets.

At this time, Zijin came back from the rain outside, and for the past few nights, she had asked her to guard Qu Moran's place, fearing that Wei Hai would cause trouble for them.

"Is sister Qu's place okay?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

Zijin nodded, "These days, that Wei Hai left early and returned late, but he didn't see anyone else, and he didn't show up at the medical clinic, he was quite honest."

"He's not an honest man."

"By the way, Brother Qi found a buddy who knows a lot of kung fu and knows the basics. Doctor Qu left him behind and told me that I don't need to go there tonight."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Alright, I've been running around these days, thank you for your hard work."

Zijin smiled, "I really like the braised pig's trotters at the mouth of Dr. Qu's Hutong."

Liu Yunxiang touched Zijin's forehead with his hand, "You can eat so much, whoever dares to marry you in the future may not be able to support you."

Zijin frowned, "I'm not married, there is a girl raising me, I can eat whatever I want, as much as I can."

Jin Yan in the room heard this, and said with a smile: "You are clever!"

"Sister Jinyan is the one who should marry. She doesn't eat much and is virtuous!"

"Hey, you little girl!"

The two started chasing each other, Xingyi and Yan'er were bored, so they hurriedly joined the battle, the room was filled with their laughter.

Liu Yunxiang turned her head and looked outside again. She remembered that in her last life, from autumn to winter, there was always rain and snow, and it was a disaster.

"By the way, girl, when I was out shopping for buns, someone said that the Jiangnan mansion at the junction of Dongcheng and Xicheng collapsed, and there were several bunnies buried underneath."

Liu Yunxiang remembered what he heard at the wonton stand that night, that the Jiangnan Mansion was in disrepair for a long time, and Qin Shengan arranged for those young people to live in it.Those with money moved out, and those without money stayed there.

"Is the government trying to rescue you?"

"I heard that there was no one in charge, and it was raining heavily, and the land was low-lying. Even if people were not crushed to death, they drowned."

"The Third Highness is in charge of this Qiu Wei, but he didn't go there?"

Zijin curled his lips, "I said that I couldn't find anyone at first, and finally found it in Huajie. I was too drunk last night and couldn't wake up."

Liu Yunxiang snorted coldly, "Bring him the matter of Qiu Wei, the emperor will taste the bitter fruit."

And these actions are no better than ordinary people, just to appease and appease, at most scare, they are not afraid of trouble, the world's literati are easy to twist into a rope, if the court doesn't handle it properly, Qiu Wei can't be held normally, not to mention, there will be There was turmoil.

Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to inquire again, she wanted to see who would stand up at this time.

After lunch, Liu Yunxiang saw Yan Mu leaning on the arhat bed reading a book, his expression was still not very good: "I asked the kitchen to make ginseng soup for you, and I'll bring you a bowl."

"No, only a sick look can be convincing."

"You can't really drag your body down."

"Need not."

Liu Yunxiang saw that Yan Mu was still reading with his head down, and after talking to him for a while, he didn't even lift his head or look at her.Liu Yunxiang frowned, this man is still angry with her, it must be too much.

She was about to have a good talk with him, when Jinyan came over and said that the eldest princess and Mrs. Dingyuanhou were here, and she was waiting in the front hall, asking if she had seen her.

The corners of Liu Yunxiang's mouth twitched, everyone has already entered the house, can she see her, besides, this woman brought the eldest princess here.

She tidied her clothes before going to the front hall. When she entered the door, she saw two people sitting upright, their faces not looking very good, she couldn't help but sighed.

"Ouch, it's raining, the weather is cold and the road is slippery, the eldest princess and the old lady, why are you two here, something terrible must have happened, you can't wait for a while, right?"

Liu Yunxiang walked in and asked the maids to prepare charcoal fire, hot tea and snacks.

As soon as she walked in, the old lady Dingyuan Hou stood up abruptly, probably out of anger, the wrinkles on her face were trembling.

"I asked His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince to help me find my daughter, but the daughter was not found, and there were swear words about my daughter-in-law's pregnancy! There is a chastity archway outside our Hou's mansion. If you pour this dirty water on her, is it possible that she will be killed on that archway?" Down?"

Liu Yunxiang pretended to be surprised, "Ah, who spread such words?"

"Don't say you don't know!"

"The old lady's meaning is doubtful that I passed it on?"
