Don't be defensive girl, I'm blind

Chapter 187 The evening practice is coming (seeking subscription)

At this moment, Nangongxue was lying in Xue Mu's arms.

She kept crying and sobbing.

I can tell.

Something that must have happened in the palace just now made Nangongxue so sad.

Xue Mu also knew that it must have something to do with his father.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked Nangong Wei in person.

Thinking of this, Xue Mu hugged him tighter.

Although he couldn't understand the feeling of losing his mother since childhood.

But he also knew that this taste must be uncomfortable.

Especially Nangong Xue once lived under the fence.

He even lived in Zhao Jingyan's palace.

According to Nangongxue's personality, she was definitely unwilling.

Therefore, when she saw a happy family on the street, she was touched by the scene for a moment, and finally shed tears.

Xue Mu just kept holding her like this, stroking her hair slowly with his palms, trying to calm her down.

After a quarter of an hour, Nangong Xue finally eased up.

She then broke free from Xue Mu's embrace, and said to him, "Let's go, I'm fine."

Xue Mu understood that she was always strong, so he didn't ask any more questions, nodded and said, "Okay."

On the way to the palace of the eldest prince Zhao Ji, Xue Mu asked Nangong Xue: "Does sister Xueer know anything about this eldest prince Zhao Ji?"

Nangongxue replied: "I don't know him very well, I only know that he has a certain prestige in the court."

Just when Xue Mu thought that perhaps this trip to Zhao Ji's mansion would be fruitless, a familiar voice came.

"Brother Xue." Xue Mu was surprised when he heard that.

This is Zhao Jingyan's voice.

Zhao Jingyan didn't expect to meet Xue Mu on the road.

Although there is Nangong Xue beside her.

But he pretended not to see it, and went up to Xue Mu excitedly and said, "Brother Xue, where are you going?"

Nangong Xue glanced at this moment, but did not speak.

It seems that he is too lazy to talk to Zhao Jingyan.

Although Zhao Jingyan ignored Nangongxue, he still felt a little nervous.

The housekeeper Lao Jia on the side greeted Nangongxue respectfully: "Master Nangong."

"Butler Jia." Nangongxue nodded.

Xue Mu remembered Zhao Jingyan's identity. Logically speaking, if he was a prince, he must be about the same age as the eldest prince Zhao Ji.

So he explained: "We are going to visit Prince Jing's Mansion."

"Prince Jing?" Zhao Jingyan became suspicious: "Are you going to find the eldest prince Zhao Ji?"

"Exactly."

"Why are you looking for him?" Zhao Jingyan thought that Zhao Ji had nothing to do with them, so why did he suddenly go to him?
Xue Mu then replied: "We are looking for the eldest prince, we have some important matters to ask, and it is related to a case in the palace."

As soon as Zhao Jingyan heard it, he really became interested. He quickly asked excitedly: "What case is it? Can you tell me about it?"

At this time, Nangongxue coughed: "Ahem."

When Zhao Jingyan heard this, he immediately said seriously: "Nangongxue, don't put on a straight face, I didn't talk to you."

Nangong Xue glared at him.

Perhaps it was the emotion just now that made her look even more fierce.

Zhao Jingyan was immediately frightened.

He faltered: "I, in short, it's none of your business for me to talk to Brother Xue."

Nangong Xue didn't want to talk to him either, so she walked straight forward.

Seeing her leave, Xue Mu took the opportunity to talk to Zhao Jingyan: "Brother Jingyan, do you know Zhao Ji?"

"Of course I know." Zhao Jingyan said calmly, "He, he and I grew up studying together."

"Oh?" Xue Mu was a little curious. In fact, he still doesn't know Zhao Jingyan's real identity.

He only knows that he is known as King Jing to the outside world.

Seeing that Zhao Jingyan seemed to be gossiping again, the butler Lao Jia on the side reminded him in a low voice: "My lord, the master has already said it, so don't talk nonsense."

Zhao Jingyan kicked Lao Jia's ass: "It's none of your business, I'm talking to my brother Xue, is that called talking nonsense? You hurry to find Nangongxue, don't bother me here."

"Ouch."

Lao Jia was kicked in the ass, so he could only leave in despair.

Then Zhao Jingyan looked at Xue Mu and explained: "My father and the current His Majesty are two brothers. When the former emperor, that is, my grandfather, laid down this Daqing, my father also made a lot of contributions. Also studying with His Majesty's two princes."

"I see."

At this moment, Xue Mu took a step back, saluted respectfully, "Xue Mu met the little prince here."

"Hey, hey." Zhao Jingyan hurried forward and helped Xue Mu up: "Brother Xue, we are good brothers, so don't mention these worldly etiquettes."

Then he became curious: "What case are you going to handle?"

Xue Mu also knew that if he didn't give him some bait, he wouldn't take the bait, so he explained: "There have been several cases of cat demons in the palace, and we suspect that someone did it on purpose. , and then there was an incident back then, that is, the concubine Yu pushed the eldest prince into the water."

Hearing this, Zhao Jingyan was immediately surprised: "So that's what happened."

"Does the prince know about this?" Xue Mu asked.

Zhao Jingyan nodded: "Because I was there at the time."

"You were in the back garden?"

"Yes." Zhao Jingyan explained: "At that time, I saw that empress and Zhao Ji by the lake. In fact, there were many people around, but they didn't pay attention. The next second, Zhao Ji fell into the water."

Xue Mu asked, "Did Concubine Yu push her into the water?"

Zhao Jingyan thought for a while, then shook his head: "I'm not sure about this, because I didn't witness this incident at the time."

"Okay." Xue Mu obviously felt a little regretful.

"But." Zhao Jingyan said again: "At that time, I thought that the empress was so thin, how could she push Zhao Ji who was about to grow up?"

"Zhao Ji is tall and tall, and he is a young man. Although compared with me, he is indeed inferior." After speaking, Zhao Jingyan raised his chest and raised his head, a little more confident.

Hearing this, Xue Mu also felt something strange.

So he took the opportunity to ask: "Then Zhao Ji, the eldest prince, how is his reputation?"

"Are you referring to the reputation within the court or among the common people?" Zhao Jingyan asked back.

Xue Mu was a little curious: "Is there a difference?"

Zhao Jingyan laughed: "Of course there is. Naturally, everyone agrees that the prince-to-be is the one who is judged inwardly. There are many cases inwardly and outwardly."

"But the evaluation among the common people is that it is even worse than his father."

Xue Mu didn't understand: "Why do you say that?"

"At the beginning, His Majesty launched a mutiny in order to ascend to the throne, and finally put his wife to death, and the eldest prince did the same. Originally, his mother had chosen a concubine for him. As a result, Zhao Ji had no Background, personally killed her."

Zhao Jingyan's calm words made Xue Mu immediately whisper, "You can't say this too loudly."

However, Zhao Jingyan didn't take it seriously: "It doesn't matter. Among the people, these things have long been rumored. From ancient times to the present, paper cannot contain fire."

Seeing that he talked too much, Xue Mu was worried that something might happen, so he deliberately changed the topic: "Master Nangong seems to have gone far, let's hurry up and follow."

Seeing that Nangong Xue was always by his side, Zhao Jingyan was not happy, so he took the opportunity to say: "Okay, brother Xue, I won't follow you to Zhao Ji's residence. Let's talk together when we have time."

"Okay, Brother Jing Yan."

Then, Zhao Jingyan yelled: "Lao Jia, let's go and buy a new episode of "A Dream of Red Mansions."

Lao Jia came back in despair.

When he passed by Xue Mu, he said with a smile on his face, "Master Xue, then we will leave first."

"it is good."

After finishing speaking, Lao Jia waved his hands again, and said to Zhao Jingyan: "Little prince, wait for this old slave."

Xue Mu looked back at Lao Jia.

A seemingly clumsy old man, secretly has an invisible strength.

It seems that this Zhao Jingyan and his father's background must not be underestimated.

I have to hug this thigh well, and if something happens, maybe Zhao Jingyan can save my life.

Not long after, he followed Nangongxue.

And Nangong Xue also stopped.

Because in front of them is Zhao Ji's mansion.

The guard outside the palace saw Nangongxue and the two, and asked, "Who is it?"

Nangongxue reported her name: "Deputy commander of the Shenhun Division, Nangongxue."

Xue Mu followed closely and said, "Shen arrests Si Qianhu, Xue Mu."

"What's the matter, my lords?" The guard could understand it clearly, he first clasped his hands and then asked.

"We have something to see His Royal Highness Prince Jing."

"Today, His Highness Prince Jing said that he did not see any guests, and asked the two adults to come back some other day."

Nangongxue naturally did not give up, he continued: "We are ordered by His Majesty to investigate some matters, please be more accommodating."

Just like that, one of the guards walked in immediately, as if he wanted to inform the housekeeper.

Not long after, a middle-aged man hurried over.

After seeing Nangong Xue and Xue Mu, he immediately said, "I have seen two adults."

Nangong Xue nodded.

Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man reported himself: "The villain is the steward of Prince Jing's mansion, are the two adults looking for our prince?"

"Yes."

"Then please wait for a moment, the villain will report right now."

"it is good."

The middle-aged man hurriedly returned to the mansion with his robe in hand.

After a while, he made a welcome gesture: "My lords, please."

Nangong Xue pulled Xue Mu's hand, and then walked in.

Xue Mu has recovered his eyesight at this moment.

Even though he still pretended not to see it, the scenes in front of him had been fully seen.

Looking at the environment in the mansion, he couldn't help feeling emotional.

This is indeed the benefit of being born in the royal family.

Even this yard is already ranked in the capital.

Not to mention the design and momentum of this building.

Not long after, they came to a wing after passing through the backyard.

The housekeeper and Nan Gongxue said: "Please wait here for a moment, my lords, His Highness Prince Jing will come soon."

"There is a housekeeper."

After the housekeeper left, Xue Mu walked around for a while.

Nangong Xue was puzzled. It was strange that an invisible person was looking for the window and looking at the scenery outside.

But she didn't say much.

Because in her impression, Xue Mu is invisible.

No matter how hard she tries.

He just can't see it.

Even if one day, she took off her clothes and appeared in front of him, she would not know it.

It is also this concept that made her be looked down upon in the future.
Of course, that's all for later.

The current Xue Mu tries his best to look at the surrounding environment as much as possible.

After waiting for a while, Nangong Xue became impatient: "Why is the butler gone and never coming back?"

Xue Mu replied calmly: "It seems that His Highness Prince Jing doesn't take us seriously at all, otherwise he wouldn't have stopped coming for so long."

After Nangongxue heard this, she also clenched the hilt of her sword tightly.

Because of what His Majesty said just now, she has become more and more disgusted with this royal family.

If it weren't for Nangong Wei still in the palace, she might have been removed from the post of deputy commander of the Shenhun Department long ago, and would never step into the court again.

Finally, I don't know how long it took.

At last there were footsteps at the door.

I saw a young man walking in.

He glanced at Nangongxue and Xue Mu, then sat down and asked, "Are the two masters the God Detectives?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Jing, your subordinate is the deputy commander of the Shenhun Division, Nangongxue."

"He is Qianhu, Xue Mu, from the God Detective Division."

"This time, by order of the empress, I am here to ask His Highness Prince Jing some things."

Zhao Ji didn't want to pick up guests today, but when he was about to let Xia Ji swallow his reincarnation, the housekeeper knocked on the door outside to talk about it.

So I was a little unhappy in my heart.

But helpless, this is the father's god catcher.

The Shenhun Division does not belong to the Six Departments, but only belongs to the father and emperor.

So no matter how uncomfortable Zhao Ji felt, he had to hold back.

Then he asked curiously: "I don't know why the two adults came here this time?"

"This subordinate would like to ask, five years ago, when Prince Jing went to the back garden to play together, was it true that Concubine Yu really pushed her into the water?"

Hearing this sentence, Zhao Ji frowned slightly.

His expression also seemed a little dazed.

Xue Mu suddenly noticed something was wrong.

He also secretly guessed that this Zhao Ji must have other secrets.

However, Zhao Ji said, "It's only natural. If she hadn't pushed me into the water five years ago, I wouldn't have caught the cold and almost lost half my life."

"His Royal Highness Prince Jing, are you sure it was the empress who pushed you?" Nangongxue asked again.

"Why, is it possible that you still don't believe what I said?" Zhao Ji asked back.

Xue Mu took a step forward at this time, and said tactfully: "I dare not, but I have to investigate this matter under the orders of the Empress and Your Majesty, so I need to ask more detailed questions. Please forgive me, His Highness Prince Jing."

After hearing these words, Zhao Ji looked at Xue Mu.

At first he didn't pay attention to the young man.

It's just that as soon as these words came out, they threatened at first, and then retreated to advance.

This rhetoric is amazing.

Then he waved his hand and said: "Five years have passed since this matter, and there is no point in discussing it any more. In short, this king was indeed pushed into the water by him. Well, if there is nothing wrong, then so be it."

With that, he left.

Nangong Xue just wanted to stop it.

But he was stopped by Xue Mu.

After walking out of Prince Zhao Ji's mansion, Nangong Xue asked, "You know he lied just now."

Xue Mu explained: "Since Sister Xue'er already knows that he lied, it proves that our previous inference is correct, so we only need to focus on the eunuch or maidservant who took care of Concubine Yu before."

Hearing this, Nangong Xue finally nodded, and he said immediately: "Okay, I'm tired today, so let's come here for now, and you go back first."

"Okay, sister Xue'er, you should also be careful."

"Oh, I see."

Xue Mu then turned and left.

Nangongxue watched him leave, recalled the scene of herself in his arms, and was fascinated for a while.

When Xue Mu returned home, Leng Mei was waiting in the room.

When he came back, Leng Mei said: "Xiao Mu, let's practice tonight."

"Practice?"

"Well, practice." Leng Mei explained: "I have a set of methods for men and women, which can make your strength go a step further."

"real?!"

"Yeah." Leng Mei immediately blushed,
"Of course it's fine."

With that said, Xue Mu immediately hugged her up.
