Chapter 116
Ren Pingsheng couldn't help being startled when he saw the girl in front of him with firm eyes.
She is as delicate as a weak willow and Fufeng, but she is so stubborn in her bones.
After being silent for a few seconds, he nodded slightly: "Miss Mu is right, the affairs of the Mu residence really have nothing to do with this son, and this son should not meddle in other people's business."
Saying that, let go of her hand.
It wasn't until this moment that Mu Rou realized that Ren Pingsheng was so close to her, and she didn't feel sick.
"My lord, the carriage is ready."
At this time, the guard came to report.
Ren Pingsheng nodded slightly, looked at Mu Rou, with neither happy nor sad expression, and asked calmly: "Ms. Mu, is she going by herself, or is she taking a carriage?"
If it was just now, Mu Rou would definitely choose the latter.
but now……
She didn't hesitate at all, and her voice was cold: "Don't bother Your Highness, I will go by myself."
"it is good."
Ren Pingsheng looked at the guard and ordered: "Send the carriage back and prepare the horse for this son."
"Yes!"
The guard took the order and turned to leave.
Mu Rou pursed her lips, looked at Qiu'er behind her, and said softly, "Qiu'er, let's go."
Although Qiu'er didn't want her young lady to go to the emperor, she couldn't bear to see her dragging her sick body to the palace alone.
After hesitating for a while, he stepped forward to help her, and persuaded: "Miss, let's not go."
aside.
Ren Pingsheng said: "If you don't support her, she may not be able to walk to Sajin Street."
"..."
Hearing this, Qiu'er was slightly taken aback.
It seems... that's the truth.
Ren Pingsheng looked at Mu Rou: "If you don't want to trouble others, you can go to the emperor by yourself, why drag a little maid along with you."
Mu Rou turned a deaf ear and looked at Qiu'er with soft eyes: "Sister Qiu'er, would you like to go with me?"
Qiu'er's delicate face showed a tangled look, she raised her eyes to look at Ren Pingsheng, saw him nodding his head slightly, as if he understood something.
"Even if I don't go, the prince will take care of the lady."
After thinking up to this point, she no longer hesitated, and shook her head lightly: "The servant will not go."
"..."
Mu Rou's eyes dimmed, she didn't say any more, she turned and walked towards the gate of the mansion.
After a few breaths.
She walked out of Ren's mansion, moved lightly with lotus steps, and walked slowly towards the palace.
Ren Pingsheng got on his horse and followed her side without saying a word.
The light breeze rippling, blowing a strand of hair from Mu Rou's temples, and the light-colored skirt swayed slightly.
The delicate body can't bear a little cold wind.
She stopped, clutched her chest, and coughed violently.
"Cough cough cough cough..."
Ren Pingsheng reined in the reins, controlled the horse to stop, and just looked at her condescendingly.
After half a stick of incense.
Mu Rou gradually regained her strength, and continued to walk towards the palace with gentle steps.
Ren Pingsheng was still riding a horse, following her side, watching her struggling forward, doubts arose in his heart unavoidably.
"The majestic descendant of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, doesn't he have any cultivation?
If this is the case, why did the old heavenly master accept her as an apprentice and let her be his successor? Is it just because of her stubborn personality? "
While thinking wildly, they stopped and walked, and before they knew it, the two had arrived at Sajin Street.
Mu Rou's walking became more and more difficult, and every few steps she took, she had to stop and rest for a while, she was really crying and panting slightly.
As for Ren Pingsheng, he took his time and rode behind him.
Passers-by felt strange when they saw this scene, but they didn't think much about it.
In this world, it's nothing if you don't see any strange things.
Time passed by minute by minute.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.
Mu Rou didn't even finish half of the journey.
The tips of the hair were wet with sweat, and they were messily pasted on the smooth forehead. The slightly pale and delicate face, under the sunlight, had a faint halo like porcelain.
The soft and slender waist lay down quietly.
I haven't moved a step for a long time.
Ren Pingsheng rode on the horse, wandering leisurely, looked at the sky, and muttered to himself: "After all, I was worrying too much. At this speed, I am afraid that the curfew may not even reach the palace."
The voice fell.
Mu Rou raised her head slightly and glanced at him, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
After a few seconds.
She bit her pink lip, straightened her waist, and moved on.
Another gust of wind blew by.
She frowned and coughed.
"Cough cough cough cough..."
It is the most prosperous section of Sajin Street.
When someone saw this scene, he couldn't help but become vigilant, and muttered with disgust on his face: "Could it be tuberculosis?"
As soon as this word comes out.
The passers-by around were startled and looked up.
I saw the girl's lips were pale, her face was bloodless, and she was coughing continuously... Isn't this the characteristic of tuberculosis?
"It's really bad luck!"
Someone spat, quickened his pace, and left here.
Although the vast majority of people didn't say anything, they silently distanced themselves from her.
A few short breaths of time.
Ren Pingsheng was the only one left around Mu Rou.
"Don't go, stay away from her!"
"Where is the tuberculosis? Why don't you stay at home and run around?"
"It's disgusting."
"What, he...tui."
"..."
All kinds of voices of contempt came and went.
In a trance.
Mu Rou seemed to have returned to her childhood.
On the way home from school.
The boys circled and pointed at her.
"Freak! Freak!"
"Go back! Go back!"
"Cough cough cough cough..."
Mu Rou arched her waist, half squatted on the ground, and curled up into a small ball.
Because of the severe cough, two lines of clear tears flowed from the eyes and slid down the pale cheeks.
An unspeakable fear and uneasiness welled up in my heart.
The immature voice of "Freak" kept ringing in her ears, echoing for a long time.
My mind was blank, and there was only one thought in my heart: "Help me, who can save me..."
As time passed, feelings of helplessness almost overwhelmed her.
at this time.
A pair of big hands picked her up from the ground, patted her on the back lightly, and helped her relax.
follow closely.
A familiar voice rang in my ears.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay, take a deep breath."
The gentle tone was like a ray of light, dispelling the immature but malicious voice.
At this moment, she seemed to be lifted out of the water by a pair of big hands after drowning, and she breathed fresh air again.
The helplessness, anxiety and despair in my heart gradually dissipated.
Following the rhythm of the voice next to your ear, take a deep breath and then exhale.
After a few breaths, she finally stopped coughing, and the brows that were knit together gradually relaxed.
Ren Pingsheng patted Mu Rou's back lightly, and comforted her softly. Seeing her gradually returning to normal, a hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
"I almost overdid it..."
Ren Pingsheng breathed a sigh of relief, but was afraid for a while.
If Mu Rou really died in front of him, not to mention how the Heavenly Master Mansion would retaliate against him, even he himself would regret it for the rest of his life.
"Cough cough..."
Gradually recovering from the painful memories, Mu Rou clearly felt the warm touch brushing against her back, as if an electric current had flowed through it, which was indescribably tingly and numb.
After a few breaths.
He realized that it was not Qiu'er who comforted him, but Ren Pingsheng, the prince of Zhenbei.
She frowned slightly, trying to push him away, but her hands seemed to be disobedient, a little weak, pressing against the other's chest, like a young couple flirting, wanting to refuse to return.
It took a long time before she regained the familiar feeling, disgust welled up in her heart, and her tone was blunt: "Let me go."
"it is good."
Ren Pingsheng nodded slightly, and took away the hand that was stroking her back.
At this moment, for some reason, Mu Rou felt empty in her heart.
But in the next second, she returned to normal, stretched out her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, looked at Ren Pingsheng coldly, and said flatly, "Thank you, my lord."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and continued walking in the direction of the palace.
When Ren Pingsheng saw this scene, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart: "This little celestial master is a donkey, so stubborn!
No, I can't follow her anymore, otherwise she could really kill herself. "
With this in mind, he made up his mind, took a step forward, and hugged her without any explanation.
"What are you doing!"
Mu Rou was taken aback by Ren Pingsheng's sudden movement, and she froze in his arms, motionless like a sculpture.
"My son is also going to the palace, and I will give you a ride along the way."
With that said, he gently put her on the horse's back.
"Put me down."
Mu Rou straddled the horse, her tone was blunt, she was clearly resisting, but because her voice was too soft, it sounded like she was being coquettish.
Ren Pingsheng turned a deaf ear, got on his horse, and said to himself: "Grab the clothes, don't blame me for falling off."
After finishing speaking, regardless of what Mu Rou said, she pulled the reins and controlled the horses to move towards the palace.
I spent a few days with this little celestial master.
He understood.
This is the master who doesn't eat the soft ones and doesn't eat the hard ones.
That being the case, why don't you just ignore what she thinks, and let's get things done first.
She really doesn't appreciate it.
In the worst case, write a letter to the old celestial master to explain the situation. It is nothing more than waiting a little longer before practicing the "Yin and Yang Liangyi Heart Sutra".
As the speed of the horse is getting faster and faster.
Instinctively, Mu Rou hugged Ren Pingsheng's waist, hearing the whistling wind, but she didn't feel anything on her face, because there was a wide back in front to shield her from the wind.
"He...why is he so annoying!
Obviously only meager friendship, why does he insist on me!
What about me has nothing to do with him! "
Mu Rou tightly grasped the fabric around Ren Pingsheng's waist with both hands, and the lavender skirt swayed in the wind, just like her mood at the moment.
…………
After half an hour.
In front of the palace gate.
Ren Pingsheng tugged at the reins.
"Call..."
The horse stopped in place.
Ren Pingsheng turned his head and glanced at Mu Rou.
The little celestial master's face was cold, his lips were slightly pouted, he looked like he was wronged and still kept his mouth shut, just like a doormat.
Seeing Ren Pingsheng looking at her, she turned her face away and refused to look at him.
Seeing this scene, Ren Pingsheng smiled and got off his horse.
He reached out and patted the horse's head, and said: "You wait for me here, don't move around."
After finishing speaking, he walked towards the palace gate without looking back.
Mu Rou was riding on the horse, looking at Ren Pingsheng's back, slightly startled.
"He left me on the horse and left me alone?"
While in a trance, Ren Pingsheng muttered to himself: "I almost forgot about the little Heavenly Master."
Seeing Ren Pingsheng go and come back again, her heart became much more stable in an instant.
but.
Seeing Ren Pingsheng looking at her, she turned her face away and looked in another direction.
After a few seconds.
Ren Pingsheng returned to the front, glanced at the little celestial master who was sitting motionless on the horseback, and asked with a smile on his face: "Could it be that the little celestial master likes the feeling of riding a horse? Why don't you get off?"
on horseback.
The little celestial master turned his face away, pursed his lips, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and wanted to curse.
"Could it be that they can't come down?" Ren Pingsheng asked again.
The little celestial master's shoulders trembled slightly, obviously trying to endure some kind of emotion.
She has been weak and sick since she was a child, and she always rides a carriage or a sedan chair wherever she goes, and has never ridden a horse.
He can neither mount nor dismount.
He obviously asked knowingly.
"Do you want to help?" Ren Pingsheng asked again.
The little celestial master's eyelashes fluttered, but he didn't speak.
"Just don't."
As Ren Pingsheng said, he turned around and was about to leave.
Mu Rou's heart trembled, she subconsciously looked at Ren Pingsheng, and saw that he was looking at her with a half-smile on his face.
"..."
Seeing this scene, a slight blush appeared on Mu Rou's pale face, and she felt ashamed and annoyed.
It was the first time she was teased like this since her father passed away and was adopted by her uncle.
But I don't know why, and I don't feel disgusted, just annoyed.
next second.
She turned her face away again, looked aside, and made up her mind that no matter what Ren Pingsheng said, she would not look at him.
Thinking about it this way, after a few breaths.
She suddenly felt a big hand wrap around her waist.
Immediately afterwards, most of his body was suspended in the air, and after only a moment, he was placed on the ground with gentle movements without any discomfort.
"I'm not seeking justice from His Majesty, let's go, Miss Mu."
A familiar voice rang in the ears, the distance seemed to be close to the earlobe.
As usual.
At this time, I will definitely feel disgusted, even nauseated, and no matter how bad I am, I will feel uncomfortable all over my body.
But somehow.
At this moment, apart from being a little awkward, she didn't feel anything else in her heart.
Perhaps it was because this guy was so hateful that he was already numb.
Mu Rou thought so, without saying a word, followed behind him, and walked towards the palace gate silently.
After half a stick of incense.
When the two came to the gate of the palace, before they could open their mouths, they heard the guard say: "The sage has an order, and none of the disciples of Tianshi's mansion will be seen."
"..."
Mu Rou was silent for a few seconds, then said softly: "Mu House Mu Rou, please see the Holy Majesty."
The guard gave her a squinting look, and said in a cold tone: "The Holy One has a decree, Mu Ying is corrupt and perverts the law, and all relatives will sit together. If your Excellency is from Mu's residence, you should be staying in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."
Mu Rou opened her mouth, wanting to say something else.
aside.
Ren Pingsheng suddenly said: "Don't mess around, you want to be thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"
Hearing this, Mu Rou fell silent, but she didn't leave, she still stood there.
After a while, she spoke again: "My uncle was wronged, he is a good official."
The guard stared ahead, not bothering to pay attention to her at all.
Seeing this scene, Mu Rou's eyes dimmed for a moment, and after a few seconds, she spoke again: "Your Majesty doesn't want to see me, so I will stay here all the time."
The guard gave her a sideways look, and said lightly, "Please go ahead."
Mu Rou pursed her lips, and she really stood there, motionless.
"This is not only stubborn, but also a bit stupid... What did the old master think, choosing such a little stubborn donkey as the successor of the master's mansion."
Ren Pingsheng looked at Mu Rou beside him, and sighed helplessly.
Turning his head to look at the guards, he said, "The prince of Zhenbei, Ren Pingsheng, please see Your Majesty."
The guard looked at Ren Pingsheng, his tone softened a lot, and he replied: "The sage has an order, the son can enter the palace, but he is not allowed to go near Yong'an Palace, and he is not allowed to have a private meeting with Princess Yunhe."
"?"
When Mu Rou heard this, she turned her head to look at Ren Pingsheng with a strange expression.
Why did the emperor specifically tell him not to have a private meeting with that Princess Yunhe.
Could it be that before that, he often harassed Yun and the princess?
"Sure enough, he is a frivolous person."
Thinking of what happened just now, the little celestial master put a label on Ren Pingsheng in his heart, looked away, and continued to stand.
now.
The weather was gloomy, with thick cloudy clouds all over the sky.
The wind was cold and ran violently in front of the palace gate in the wilderness.
The girl's lavender skirt swayed slightly like falling hibiscus flowers, and the black hair from her temples fell to the corner of her mouth.
A chill welled up from the bottom of my heart.
The face that was originally rosy turned pale again.
Her delicate body trembled slightly like a slender flower branch in the wind.
"The minister obeys the order."
After Ren Pingsheng saluted, he did not enter the palace, but untied the belt around his waist, took off his outer robe, and put it on Mu Rou's shoulders.
A strong masculine breath came over his face.
Mu Rou's heart trembled, her eyes showed a hint of panic, she looked at Ren Pingsheng, trying to push him away.
Before he started, he lowered his voice and said: "I still count on you to translate the dual-cultivation exercises for me. Wear it well, don't turn around and freeze to death at the door."
After finishing speaking, he met the surprised eyes of the guards very frankly, and said lightly: "Is there any extra robe?"
"This……"
The guards looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.
at this time.
A centurion wearing a flying fish suit came over, held a clean robe in his hand, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "This robe is not cheap, next time you drink, my son, don't forget to return it." Give me."
Ren Pingsheng looked at the centurion, and found that he was a familiar face, having drank together in Zuihua Pavilion back then.
The middle and senior officers of the imperial army are all served by Wu Xun's children.
It's normal to meet people you know well.
Unfortunately, Ren Pingsheng forgot his name.
"Okay, I'll treat you to a drink in a few days."
He took the robe, exchanging a few friendly greetings, and walked into the palace gate.
Outside the palace gate.
Mu Rou wore Ren Pingsheng's outer robe and watched him drift away, slightly dazed.
After struggling for a long time, he finally didn't let go of the robe, and let it be draped over his shoulders and wrapped around his body.
…………
I haven't been to the palace for several days.
Walking in the square, Ren Pingsheng felt a little cordial.
Thinking back to what the guard said just now, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
"The emperor has never let me see my sister-in-law, there must be a reason...
Could it be the last time my sister-in-law attacked the carriage at night and he knew about it? "
Thinking of this, Ren Pingsheng's footsteps stopped, and a chill welled up in his heart.
"Forget it, it's a blessing or a curse, and if it's a disaster, you can't avoid it...just do whatever you want."
Ren Pingsheng sighed in his heart, and walked towards Qianqing Palace.
After a while.
He came to the door of the study room of Qianqing Palace, and said loudly: "I am the son of Prince Zhenbei, Ren Pingsheng, please see Your Majesty!"
The voice fell.
The voice of Emperor Zhaowu came from inside.
"allow."
Followed by.
Ren Pingsheng lifted the curtain, walked in, stood upright, and saluted.
"I see you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Zhaowu sat on the dragon chair, looked at the memorial presented by the cabinet, and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
Ren Pingsheng said: "The minister is here for the case of Mu Ying."
Emperor Zhaowu looked up at him, and stretched out his hand.
Behind.
Wang Zheng hurriedly handed over the imperial brush dipped in vermilion.
After receiving it, Emperor Zhaowu ticked off the memorial and said casually, "Continue."
"Yes!"
Ren Pingsheng said sternly: "I think there is something wrong with Mu Ying's case. Even if he is a small doctor, even if he has the courage, he would not dare to covet a full five million taels of silver. Therefore, there must be someone behind him." make people.
Jin Yiwei searched for three days, but did not find any stolen money in Mu's residence, which just confirmed the minister's thoughts. Not surprisingly, the money was sent to the person in charge. "
Emperor Zhaowu said calmly, "Why can't Mu Ying hide it and leave it to future generations?"
Ren Pingsheng said: "Your Majesty is wise, of course there is such a possibility, but I think this is not in line with common sense, and the possibility is unlikely."
"how do I say this?"
"If it's 10 taels, or even 50 taels, it's fine to keep it privately for future generations, but it's 500 million taels of silver. Is he greedy for so much silver, is he going to leave it to future generations, so that they can rebel? "
Hearing this, Emperor Zhaowu's hand holding the imperial brush froze slightly.
In the next second, he returned to normal, put down the memorial in his hand, and looked up at Ren Pingsheng: "What does the case of Mu Ying have to do with you? Why are you so concerned?"
Ren Pingsheng raised his head slightly, with a dignified look on his face: "Food the king's salary, and take care of the king's worries. I heard that your majesty is worried about the five million taels of silver, and I feel sad. I want to share your majesty's worries, that's all."
"No other ideas?" Emperor Zhaowu pointed out.
"Have!"
Ren Pingsheng was frank and serious, saying: "The minister is your majesty's son-in-law, and your majesty is your minister's Taishan. It is only natural for a son-in-law to please Taishan."
Emperor Zhaowu: "..."
After a few seconds of silence.
He said again: "I'm afraid it's not me you want to please, but someone else."
Ren Pingsheng said: "Your Majesty is really wise. You can see through my mind at a glance. In addition to pleasing Your Majesty, I also want to please the little celestial master Mu Rou, so that I can get the method of dual cultivation from her and practice together with Your Highness the Princess."
Emperor Zhaowu obviously didn't expect him to be so frank, he was startled for a moment, then annoyed on his face, he suppressed his anger, and said word by word: "I have said that, without my will, you are not allowed to approach Yong'an Palace! You are not allowed to approach Yunhe!"
What he said was gentle enough, but in fact, he was already yelling in his heart: You bastard!Still thinking about double cultivation, why don't you want to go to heaven?
How could your father, who is so dedicated, give birth to you, a slut who always wants to mess with women!
"?"
Ren Pingsheng was stunned: "What is the relationship between the minister and His Highness Chang An's cultivation, and His Highness Yunhe?"
The voice fell.
Emperor Zhaowu's expression instantly froze on his face, and after a long silence, he slowly said, "You are honest."
At this moment, Ren Pingsheng realized that his expression became a little weird.
Emperor Zhaowu thought I was talking about Yunhe just now?
How could he think so.
There is no such thing as a father.
"In front of His Majesty, I only speak from the bottom of my heart, without any deceit." Ren Pingsheng replied.
"For the sake of your honesty, I will give you a chance."
Emperor Zhaowu picked up the imperial pen again, reviewed the memorial, and said casually: "Within fifteen days, if you can find out the mastermind behind the scenes, or recover more than half of the silver, which is 250 million taels, I will sell you a favor and release Mu. If the people in the mansion can't be found out, or if they can't get back the money, all the people in the Mu mansion will be executed after autumn."
Half a month, isn't it a bit tight?
Ren Pingsheng hesitated for a while, bargaining: "Your Majesty, can you be tolerant for a while."
Emperor Zhaowu said casually: "For the sake of Xia Miao's meritorious service, add five more days."
Only five more days?
Forget it, five days is five days.
Ren Pingsheng sighed in his heart, and saluted again: "The minister will take his leave first."
"Wait."
Emperor Zhaowu stopped him: "This year, Xia Miao, you are the number one. It stands to reason that you should be named a general and go to the southern border to lead the army to fight, but I think you and Chang'an will not be married soon, so I will let it go... Speak, I want What compensation?"
ah!Unexpectedly, there was a surprise.
Ren Pingsheng raised his eyebrows without the slightest hesitation: "I haven't seen Your Highness Yunhe for many days, and I miss you very much. I implore Your Majesty..."
Before the words were finished, the emperor said coldly: "Get lost!"
Ren Pingsheng: "..."
Don't keep your word, old man.
He sneered, turned around and was about to leave.
Emperor Zhaowu said again: "Wang Zheng, take him to get a magic weapon."
Wang Zheng saluted: "Your maid obeys the order."
After half an hour.
Ren Pingsheng came out from the warehouse, holding a carefully selected silkworm soft armor in his hand.
"Thank you, Eunuch Wang."
"Your Majesty, you're being polite. The servant girl has to go back to report, so I can't send her away."
Say hello politely.
The prince turned and left.
Ren Pingsheng stood alone on the spot, looking at the silkworm soft armor in his hand, feeling quite satisfied in his heart.
According to Wang Zheng.
The silkworm soft armor can resist all attacks below the sixth rank.
Level [-] attacks can be resisted ten times.
The attack of the fifth rank can resist once.
It is a good defensive weapon.
"My father-in-law is quite generous this time."
Ren Pingsheng thought so, took off his outer robe, put on the silkworm soft armor, put on his outer robe again, and walked away.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly thought of it.
During Xia Miao's time, the emperor asked him to go to Zangshu Pavilion to read "Records of Emperor Taizu".
Some time ago, I had been stopped outside the palace and had no chance to see it.
Why don't you take this opportunity to have a look?
As Ren Pingsheng thought about it, a delicate figure suddenly appeared in front of him, standing in the cold wind, shivering.
"Let's do it next time, otherwise Mu Rou's stubborn donkey might freeze to death when he comes back from the Library Pavilion."
With this in mind, Ren Pingsheng stopped being entangled and left the palace.
After two sticks of incense.
Ren Pingsheng walked out of the palace gate and looked up.
The little stubborn donkey was still standing there, wrapped in his own robe, his delicate body trembling slightly with the howling cold wind, his delicate face was bloodless, looking unusually pale, with a few strands of hair on his temples. The blue hair blows to the side, and the whole person has a strange sense of beauty.
Using the words in female video novels to describe it, it should be broken beauty?
"Little Stubborn Donkey..."
Ren Pingsheng stepped forward, originally wanted to say hello, but inadvertently said what was in his heart. After a second of silence, he acted as if nothing had happened, with a gentle smile and a soft tone: "Miss Mu."
Little Stubborn Donkey... Are you talking about me?
Mu Rou was in a daze for a while, and it took her a while to react, a pang of anger rose in her chest, a faint blush appeared on her pale face, she turned her face away, as if she didn't hear anything.
Ren Pingsheng walked to Mu Rou's side, and asked with a smile, "Miss Mu doesn't want to know, what did I talk to Your Majesty about?"
Could it be that he entered the palace to meet the emperor for himself?
Hearing this, Mu Rou couldn't help thinking about it, and wanted to ask.
But thinking of the little stubborn donkey just now, he pursed his lips and forcibly endured it.
"I've been busy working for the Mu Mansion for so long, and Miss Mu's attitude is really chilling."
Ren Pingsheng stood beside Mu Rou, his tone was low, as if he was sad and lost.
Hearing this, Mu Rou's long eyelashes trembled slightly, she hesitated for a moment, turned her head to look at Ren Pingsheng, and said softly, "Thank you, my lord."
After finishing speaking, I realized that Ren Pingsheng was smiling all the time, and he didn't look a bit disappointed.
"Miss Mu repeated over and over and only said thank you, son. It's really nothing new. Think about something else next time." Ren Pingsheng teased with a smile.
Mu Rou bit her pink lips, turned her face away again, and didn't want to talk to him.
Seeing this, Ren Pingsheng stopped teasing her, and said seriously: "Your Majesty has promised me that within 20 days, as long as I can find out the mastermind behind the embezzlement of ink and silver, or recover 250 million taels of silver, I will pardon everyone in the Mu Mansion." crime."
Hearing this, Mu Rou's eyebrows showed joy, she turned her head to look at Ren Pingsheng, her pink lips parted slightly, and she wanted to say something.
Ren Pingsheng waved his hand first: "Thank you, son, there is no need to say it, I am tired of hearing it."
Looking at the frivolous man in front of her, a warm current surged in Mu Rou's heart and spread all over her body, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her voice was soft: "Thank you, Mr. Ren."
Mr. Ren...
Needless to say, after so many years, this is the first time Ren Pingsheng has heard of this title, which is considered novel.
"When His Majesty truly pardons the people in Mu's residence, it will not be too late to thank you."
It was rare for Ren Pingsheng to be serious: "Time is running out, so don't waste time here, Miss Mu, come back home with me."
talking room.
The steed had already come to him with brisk steps, rubbed its head against his shoulder lightly, and made a flattering nasal sound.
Mu Rou looked at the horse, she didn't know what to think, her face flushed slightly, she didn't say a word, she silently turned her face away, neither looking at the horse nor at Ren Pingsheng.
Seeing this, Ren Pingsheng tacitly did not speak, stretched his arms around her slender waist, and put her gently on the horse's back.
Then got on the horse and said: "The wind is blowing, Miss Mu can get closer."
After finishing speaking, he lightly tugged on the rein and controlled the horse to walk in the direction of Ren's mansion.
Behind.
With both hands, Mu Rou tightly grasped the robe and the corner of his waist, and unconsciously moved closer.
The man's breath rushed towards her face, but she didn't feel disgusted, just a little uncomfortable.
time flies.
In a blink of an eye.
The horse stopped in front of Ren's mansion.
Ren Pingsheng got off his horse, looked up, and saw Mu Rou's face turned away, her soft body was as stiff as a sculpture.
"The little stubborn donkey has made rapid progress, and has learned to descend the donkey along the slope."
Ren Pingsheng chuckled, without saying anything, he stretched out his arms to wrap around her soft waist, and hugged her down.
A warm touch came from the waist.
An unprecedented and indescribable feeling surged in Mu Rou's heart, her body trembled slightly, and she gradually calmed down when her feet hit the ground.
In front of the house.
Seeing this scene, Qiu'er, who was looking forward to it, widened her eyes, opened her mouth slightly, and four words were written on her delicate face - unbelievable.
what did she see.
The young lady and the prince rode on the same horse, and they were still wearing the clothes that the prince was wearing when he left.
That's all, Shizi put his arms around the young lady's waist and carried her off the horse, but the young lady didn't respond at all.
According to what she knew about Miss.
The above three points, in the past, it was impossible for the lady to do any of them.
Don't talk about physical contact, even if there are men of the same age standing within five steps of the lady, the lady will not be able to control herself and want to escape.
The young lady's dislike of men of the same age is definitely not a disguise, but an instinct.
When it is exaggerated, the lady will even feel sick and retch.
therefore.
She couldn't believe her eyes when she saw that the young lady and the prince were acting so intimately.
"How did the prince do it? What happened during the time they left?"
There were countless questions in the little maid's mind, all of which were suppressed abruptly.
Because she is very clear.
For a young lady, it is an excellent thing to have a man of the same age who does not hate her by her side.
"Miss, you are finally back. During the time you were away, this servant was really worried about you..."
Qiu'er stepped forward, reached out to support Mu Rou, and said sobbing.
Although Sister Qiu'er didn't want to accompany her to the palace, she knew in her heart that Sister Qiu'er was thinking of herself and didn't take it seriously, so she said softly, "I'm fine, Sister Qiu'er doesn't have to worry."
aside.
Ren Pingsheng said with a smile: "With this son taking care of your young lady, naturally nothing will happen."
When Qiu'er heard the words, she took it very seriously, raised her eyes to look at Ren Pingsheng, and was sincerely grateful: "My maidservant thank you son."
Ren Pingsheng waved his hand: "Help your lady back to rest."
"Ah."
Qiu'er nodded heavily, reached out to support Mu Rou, and walked into the gate of the mansion.
A few steps away.
Mu Rou stopped in her tracks, turned her head to look at Ren Pingsheng, with a trace of worry in her eyes, and said softly, "Young Master Ren, the matter of the Mu residence..."
Ren Pingsheng knew what she wanted to say, and waved his hand: "There are many strange things about the case of Mufu, Mr. Xiao and I have already started to investigate this matter, you don't have to worry, if we can't find any clues, I will find you help."
Mu Rou lowered her eyes: "Young Master Ren is bothering you, but the matter of the Mu residence has nothing to do with Young Master Ren..."
Why are you being hypocritical again?
Ren Pingsheng sighed helplessly, and said leisurely: "To be honest, you can't help at all now, why don't you go back and recuperate, and help me translate the "Yin and Yang Liangyi Heart Sutra" by the way, so that I will also have the motivation to investigate the case.
Don't worry, even if you can't find out who is behind the scenes within 20 days, it will be a question after autumn, and there is still time for mediation. If it doesn't work, you can write to your master. If he really came to plead for mercy, he would definitely save face. "
Hearing this, Mu Rou was completely relieved, a smile appeared on her brows, and she said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Ren."
"Miss actually called the prince as Mr. Ren..."
On the side, Qiu'er's eyes sparkled slightly, she looked at her young lady, and at Ren Pingsheng who was not far away, the corner of her mouth couldn't hide the smile.
After a few breaths.
The two walked back to the courtyard that Ren Pingsheng had prepared for them.
Ren Pingsheng watched them leave, stood where he was, thought for a while, got on his horse, and went straight to Zhenmensi.
(End of this chapter)
Ren Pingsheng couldn't help being startled when he saw the girl in front of him with firm eyes.
She is as delicate as a weak willow and Fufeng, but she is so stubborn in her bones.
After being silent for a few seconds, he nodded slightly: "Miss Mu is right, the affairs of the Mu residence really have nothing to do with this son, and this son should not meddle in other people's business."
Saying that, let go of her hand.
It wasn't until this moment that Mu Rou realized that Ren Pingsheng was so close to her, and she didn't feel sick.
"My lord, the carriage is ready."
At this time, the guard came to report.
Ren Pingsheng nodded slightly, looked at Mu Rou, with neither happy nor sad expression, and asked calmly: "Ms. Mu, is she going by herself, or is she taking a carriage?"
If it was just now, Mu Rou would definitely choose the latter.
but now……
She didn't hesitate at all, and her voice was cold: "Don't bother Your Highness, I will go by myself."
"it is good."
Ren Pingsheng looked at the guard and ordered: "Send the carriage back and prepare the horse for this son."
"Yes!"
The guard took the order and turned to leave.
Mu Rou pursed her lips, looked at Qiu'er behind her, and said softly, "Qiu'er, let's go."
Although Qiu'er didn't want her young lady to go to the emperor, she couldn't bear to see her dragging her sick body to the palace alone.
After hesitating for a while, he stepped forward to help her, and persuaded: "Miss, let's not go."
aside.
Ren Pingsheng said: "If you don't support her, she may not be able to walk to Sajin Street."
"..."
Hearing this, Qiu'er was slightly taken aback.
It seems... that's the truth.
Ren Pingsheng looked at Mu Rou: "If you don't want to trouble others, you can go to the emperor by yourself, why drag a little maid along with you."
Mu Rou turned a deaf ear and looked at Qiu'er with soft eyes: "Sister Qiu'er, would you like to go with me?"
Qiu'er's delicate face showed a tangled look, she raised her eyes to look at Ren Pingsheng, saw him nodding his head slightly, as if he understood something.
"Even if I don't go, the prince will take care of the lady."
After thinking up to this point, she no longer hesitated, and shook her head lightly: "The servant will not go."
"..."
Mu Rou's eyes dimmed, she didn't say any more, she turned and walked towards the gate of the mansion.
After a few breaths.
She walked out of Ren's mansion, moved lightly with lotus steps, and walked slowly towards the palace.
Ren Pingsheng got on his horse and followed her side without saying a word.
The light breeze rippling, blowing a strand of hair from Mu Rou's temples, and the light-colored skirt swayed slightly.
The delicate body can't bear a little cold wind.
She stopped, clutched her chest, and coughed violently.
"Cough cough cough cough..."
Ren Pingsheng reined in the reins, controlled the horse to stop, and just looked at her condescendingly.
After half a stick of incense.
Mu Rou gradually regained her strength, and continued to walk towards the palace with gentle steps.
Ren Pingsheng was still riding a horse, following her side, watching her struggling forward, doubts arose in his heart unavoidably.
"The majestic descendant of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, doesn't he have any cultivation?
If this is the case, why did the old heavenly master accept her as an apprentice and let her be his successor? Is it just because of her stubborn personality? "
While thinking wildly, they stopped and walked, and before they knew it, the two had arrived at Sajin Street.
Mu Rou's walking became more and more difficult, and every few steps she took, she had to stop and rest for a while, she was really crying and panting slightly.
As for Ren Pingsheng, he took his time and rode behind him.
Passers-by felt strange when they saw this scene, but they didn't think much about it.
In this world, it's nothing if you don't see any strange things.
Time passed by minute by minute.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.
Mu Rou didn't even finish half of the journey.
The tips of the hair were wet with sweat, and they were messily pasted on the smooth forehead. The slightly pale and delicate face, under the sunlight, had a faint halo like porcelain.
The soft and slender waist lay down quietly.
I haven't moved a step for a long time.
Ren Pingsheng rode on the horse, wandering leisurely, looked at the sky, and muttered to himself: "After all, I was worrying too much. At this speed, I am afraid that the curfew may not even reach the palace."
The voice fell.
Mu Rou raised her head slightly and glanced at him, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
After a few seconds.
She bit her pink lip, straightened her waist, and moved on.
Another gust of wind blew by.
She frowned and coughed.
"Cough cough cough cough..."
It is the most prosperous section of Sajin Street.
When someone saw this scene, he couldn't help but become vigilant, and muttered with disgust on his face: "Could it be tuberculosis?"
As soon as this word comes out.
The passers-by around were startled and looked up.
I saw the girl's lips were pale, her face was bloodless, and she was coughing continuously... Isn't this the characteristic of tuberculosis?
"It's really bad luck!"
Someone spat, quickened his pace, and left here.
Although the vast majority of people didn't say anything, they silently distanced themselves from her.
A few short breaths of time.
Ren Pingsheng was the only one left around Mu Rou.
"Don't go, stay away from her!"
"Where is the tuberculosis? Why don't you stay at home and run around?"
"It's disgusting."
"What, he...tui."
"..."
All kinds of voices of contempt came and went.
In a trance.
Mu Rou seemed to have returned to her childhood.
On the way home from school.
The boys circled and pointed at her.
"Freak! Freak!"
"Go back! Go back!"
"Cough cough cough cough..."
Mu Rou arched her waist, half squatted on the ground, and curled up into a small ball.
Because of the severe cough, two lines of clear tears flowed from the eyes and slid down the pale cheeks.
An unspeakable fear and uneasiness welled up in my heart.
The immature voice of "Freak" kept ringing in her ears, echoing for a long time.
My mind was blank, and there was only one thought in my heart: "Help me, who can save me..."
As time passed, feelings of helplessness almost overwhelmed her.
at this time.
A pair of big hands picked her up from the ground, patted her on the back lightly, and helped her relax.
follow closely.
A familiar voice rang in my ears.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay, take a deep breath."
The gentle tone was like a ray of light, dispelling the immature but malicious voice.
At this moment, she seemed to be lifted out of the water by a pair of big hands after drowning, and she breathed fresh air again.
The helplessness, anxiety and despair in my heart gradually dissipated.
Following the rhythm of the voice next to your ear, take a deep breath and then exhale.
After a few breaths, she finally stopped coughing, and the brows that were knit together gradually relaxed.
Ren Pingsheng patted Mu Rou's back lightly, and comforted her softly. Seeing her gradually returning to normal, a hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
"I almost overdid it..."
Ren Pingsheng breathed a sigh of relief, but was afraid for a while.
If Mu Rou really died in front of him, not to mention how the Heavenly Master Mansion would retaliate against him, even he himself would regret it for the rest of his life.
"Cough cough..."
Gradually recovering from the painful memories, Mu Rou clearly felt the warm touch brushing against her back, as if an electric current had flowed through it, which was indescribably tingly and numb.
After a few breaths.
He realized that it was not Qiu'er who comforted him, but Ren Pingsheng, the prince of Zhenbei.
She frowned slightly, trying to push him away, but her hands seemed to be disobedient, a little weak, pressing against the other's chest, like a young couple flirting, wanting to refuse to return.
It took a long time before she regained the familiar feeling, disgust welled up in her heart, and her tone was blunt: "Let me go."
"it is good."
Ren Pingsheng nodded slightly, and took away the hand that was stroking her back.
At this moment, for some reason, Mu Rou felt empty in her heart.
But in the next second, she returned to normal, stretched out her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, looked at Ren Pingsheng coldly, and said flatly, "Thank you, my lord."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and continued walking in the direction of the palace.
When Ren Pingsheng saw this scene, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart: "This little celestial master is a donkey, so stubborn!
No, I can't follow her anymore, otherwise she could really kill herself. "
With this in mind, he made up his mind, took a step forward, and hugged her without any explanation.
"What are you doing!"
Mu Rou was taken aback by Ren Pingsheng's sudden movement, and she froze in his arms, motionless like a sculpture.
"My son is also going to the palace, and I will give you a ride along the way."
With that said, he gently put her on the horse's back.
"Put me down."
Mu Rou straddled the horse, her tone was blunt, she was clearly resisting, but because her voice was too soft, it sounded like she was being coquettish.
Ren Pingsheng turned a deaf ear, got on his horse, and said to himself: "Grab the clothes, don't blame me for falling off."
After finishing speaking, regardless of what Mu Rou said, she pulled the reins and controlled the horses to move towards the palace.
I spent a few days with this little celestial master.
He understood.
This is the master who doesn't eat the soft ones and doesn't eat the hard ones.
That being the case, why don't you just ignore what she thinks, and let's get things done first.
She really doesn't appreciate it.
In the worst case, write a letter to the old celestial master to explain the situation. It is nothing more than waiting a little longer before practicing the "Yin and Yang Liangyi Heart Sutra".
As the speed of the horse is getting faster and faster.
Instinctively, Mu Rou hugged Ren Pingsheng's waist, hearing the whistling wind, but she didn't feel anything on her face, because there was a wide back in front to shield her from the wind.
"He...why is he so annoying!
Obviously only meager friendship, why does he insist on me!
What about me has nothing to do with him! "
Mu Rou tightly grasped the fabric around Ren Pingsheng's waist with both hands, and the lavender skirt swayed in the wind, just like her mood at the moment.
…………
After half an hour.
In front of the palace gate.
Ren Pingsheng tugged at the reins.
"Call..."
The horse stopped in place.
Ren Pingsheng turned his head and glanced at Mu Rou.
The little celestial master's face was cold, his lips were slightly pouted, he looked like he was wronged and still kept his mouth shut, just like a doormat.
Seeing Ren Pingsheng looking at her, she turned her face away and refused to look at him.
Seeing this scene, Ren Pingsheng smiled and got off his horse.
He reached out and patted the horse's head, and said: "You wait for me here, don't move around."
After finishing speaking, he walked towards the palace gate without looking back.
Mu Rou was riding on the horse, looking at Ren Pingsheng's back, slightly startled.
"He left me on the horse and left me alone?"
While in a trance, Ren Pingsheng muttered to himself: "I almost forgot about the little Heavenly Master."
Seeing Ren Pingsheng go and come back again, her heart became much more stable in an instant.
but.
Seeing Ren Pingsheng looking at her, she turned her face away and looked in another direction.
After a few seconds.
Ren Pingsheng returned to the front, glanced at the little celestial master who was sitting motionless on the horseback, and asked with a smile on his face: "Could it be that the little celestial master likes the feeling of riding a horse? Why don't you get off?"
on horseback.
The little celestial master turned his face away, pursed his lips, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and wanted to curse.
"Could it be that they can't come down?" Ren Pingsheng asked again.
The little celestial master's shoulders trembled slightly, obviously trying to endure some kind of emotion.
She has been weak and sick since she was a child, and she always rides a carriage or a sedan chair wherever she goes, and has never ridden a horse.
He can neither mount nor dismount.
He obviously asked knowingly.
"Do you want to help?" Ren Pingsheng asked again.
The little celestial master's eyelashes fluttered, but he didn't speak.
"Just don't."
As Ren Pingsheng said, he turned around and was about to leave.
Mu Rou's heart trembled, she subconsciously looked at Ren Pingsheng, and saw that he was looking at her with a half-smile on his face.
"..."
Seeing this scene, a slight blush appeared on Mu Rou's pale face, and she felt ashamed and annoyed.
It was the first time she was teased like this since her father passed away and was adopted by her uncle.
But I don't know why, and I don't feel disgusted, just annoyed.
next second.
She turned her face away again, looked aside, and made up her mind that no matter what Ren Pingsheng said, she would not look at him.
Thinking about it this way, after a few breaths.
She suddenly felt a big hand wrap around her waist.
Immediately afterwards, most of his body was suspended in the air, and after only a moment, he was placed on the ground with gentle movements without any discomfort.
"I'm not seeking justice from His Majesty, let's go, Miss Mu."
A familiar voice rang in the ears, the distance seemed to be close to the earlobe.
As usual.
At this time, I will definitely feel disgusted, even nauseated, and no matter how bad I am, I will feel uncomfortable all over my body.
But somehow.
At this moment, apart from being a little awkward, she didn't feel anything else in her heart.
Perhaps it was because this guy was so hateful that he was already numb.
Mu Rou thought so, without saying a word, followed behind him, and walked towards the palace gate silently.
After half a stick of incense.
When the two came to the gate of the palace, before they could open their mouths, they heard the guard say: "The sage has an order, and none of the disciples of Tianshi's mansion will be seen."
"..."
Mu Rou was silent for a few seconds, then said softly: "Mu House Mu Rou, please see the Holy Majesty."
The guard gave her a squinting look, and said in a cold tone: "The Holy One has a decree, Mu Ying is corrupt and perverts the law, and all relatives will sit together. If your Excellency is from Mu's residence, you should be staying in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."
Mu Rou opened her mouth, wanting to say something else.
aside.
Ren Pingsheng suddenly said: "Don't mess around, you want to be thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"
Hearing this, Mu Rou fell silent, but she didn't leave, she still stood there.
After a while, she spoke again: "My uncle was wronged, he is a good official."
The guard stared ahead, not bothering to pay attention to her at all.
Seeing this scene, Mu Rou's eyes dimmed for a moment, and after a few seconds, she spoke again: "Your Majesty doesn't want to see me, so I will stay here all the time."
The guard gave her a sideways look, and said lightly, "Please go ahead."
Mu Rou pursed her lips, and she really stood there, motionless.
"This is not only stubborn, but also a bit stupid... What did the old master think, choosing such a little stubborn donkey as the successor of the master's mansion."
Ren Pingsheng looked at Mu Rou beside him, and sighed helplessly.
Turning his head to look at the guards, he said, "The prince of Zhenbei, Ren Pingsheng, please see Your Majesty."
The guard looked at Ren Pingsheng, his tone softened a lot, and he replied: "The sage has an order, the son can enter the palace, but he is not allowed to go near Yong'an Palace, and he is not allowed to have a private meeting with Princess Yunhe."
"?"
When Mu Rou heard this, she turned her head to look at Ren Pingsheng with a strange expression.
Why did the emperor specifically tell him not to have a private meeting with that Princess Yunhe.
Could it be that before that, he often harassed Yun and the princess?
"Sure enough, he is a frivolous person."
Thinking of what happened just now, the little celestial master put a label on Ren Pingsheng in his heart, looked away, and continued to stand.
now.
The weather was gloomy, with thick cloudy clouds all over the sky.
The wind was cold and ran violently in front of the palace gate in the wilderness.
The girl's lavender skirt swayed slightly like falling hibiscus flowers, and the black hair from her temples fell to the corner of her mouth.
A chill welled up from the bottom of my heart.
The face that was originally rosy turned pale again.
Her delicate body trembled slightly like a slender flower branch in the wind.
"The minister obeys the order."
After Ren Pingsheng saluted, he did not enter the palace, but untied the belt around his waist, took off his outer robe, and put it on Mu Rou's shoulders.
A strong masculine breath came over his face.
Mu Rou's heart trembled, her eyes showed a hint of panic, she looked at Ren Pingsheng, trying to push him away.
Before he started, he lowered his voice and said: "I still count on you to translate the dual-cultivation exercises for me. Wear it well, don't turn around and freeze to death at the door."
After finishing speaking, he met the surprised eyes of the guards very frankly, and said lightly: "Is there any extra robe?"
"This……"
The guards looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.
at this time.
A centurion wearing a flying fish suit came over, held a clean robe in his hand, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "This robe is not cheap, next time you drink, my son, don't forget to return it." Give me."
Ren Pingsheng looked at the centurion, and found that he was a familiar face, having drank together in Zuihua Pavilion back then.
The middle and senior officers of the imperial army are all served by Wu Xun's children.
It's normal to meet people you know well.
Unfortunately, Ren Pingsheng forgot his name.
"Okay, I'll treat you to a drink in a few days."
He took the robe, exchanging a few friendly greetings, and walked into the palace gate.
Outside the palace gate.
Mu Rou wore Ren Pingsheng's outer robe and watched him drift away, slightly dazed.
After struggling for a long time, he finally didn't let go of the robe, and let it be draped over his shoulders and wrapped around his body.
…………
I haven't been to the palace for several days.
Walking in the square, Ren Pingsheng felt a little cordial.
Thinking back to what the guard said just now, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
"The emperor has never let me see my sister-in-law, there must be a reason...
Could it be the last time my sister-in-law attacked the carriage at night and he knew about it? "
Thinking of this, Ren Pingsheng's footsteps stopped, and a chill welled up in his heart.
"Forget it, it's a blessing or a curse, and if it's a disaster, you can't avoid it...just do whatever you want."
Ren Pingsheng sighed in his heart, and walked towards Qianqing Palace.
After a while.
He came to the door of the study room of Qianqing Palace, and said loudly: "I am the son of Prince Zhenbei, Ren Pingsheng, please see Your Majesty!"
The voice fell.
The voice of Emperor Zhaowu came from inside.
"allow."
Followed by.
Ren Pingsheng lifted the curtain, walked in, stood upright, and saluted.
"I see you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Zhaowu sat on the dragon chair, looked at the memorial presented by the cabinet, and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
Ren Pingsheng said: "The minister is here for the case of Mu Ying."
Emperor Zhaowu looked up at him, and stretched out his hand.
Behind.
Wang Zheng hurriedly handed over the imperial brush dipped in vermilion.
After receiving it, Emperor Zhaowu ticked off the memorial and said casually, "Continue."
"Yes!"
Ren Pingsheng said sternly: "I think there is something wrong with Mu Ying's case. Even if he is a small doctor, even if he has the courage, he would not dare to covet a full five million taels of silver. Therefore, there must be someone behind him." make people.
Jin Yiwei searched for three days, but did not find any stolen money in Mu's residence, which just confirmed the minister's thoughts. Not surprisingly, the money was sent to the person in charge. "
Emperor Zhaowu said calmly, "Why can't Mu Ying hide it and leave it to future generations?"
Ren Pingsheng said: "Your Majesty is wise, of course there is such a possibility, but I think this is not in line with common sense, and the possibility is unlikely."
"how do I say this?"
"If it's 10 taels, or even 50 taels, it's fine to keep it privately for future generations, but it's 500 million taels of silver. Is he greedy for so much silver, is he going to leave it to future generations, so that they can rebel? "
Hearing this, Emperor Zhaowu's hand holding the imperial brush froze slightly.
In the next second, he returned to normal, put down the memorial in his hand, and looked up at Ren Pingsheng: "What does the case of Mu Ying have to do with you? Why are you so concerned?"
Ren Pingsheng raised his head slightly, with a dignified look on his face: "Food the king's salary, and take care of the king's worries. I heard that your majesty is worried about the five million taels of silver, and I feel sad. I want to share your majesty's worries, that's all."
"No other ideas?" Emperor Zhaowu pointed out.
"Have!"
Ren Pingsheng was frank and serious, saying: "The minister is your majesty's son-in-law, and your majesty is your minister's Taishan. It is only natural for a son-in-law to please Taishan."
Emperor Zhaowu: "..."
After a few seconds of silence.
He said again: "I'm afraid it's not me you want to please, but someone else."
Ren Pingsheng said: "Your Majesty is really wise. You can see through my mind at a glance. In addition to pleasing Your Majesty, I also want to please the little celestial master Mu Rou, so that I can get the method of dual cultivation from her and practice together with Your Highness the Princess."
Emperor Zhaowu obviously didn't expect him to be so frank, he was startled for a moment, then annoyed on his face, he suppressed his anger, and said word by word: "I have said that, without my will, you are not allowed to approach Yong'an Palace! You are not allowed to approach Yunhe!"
What he said was gentle enough, but in fact, he was already yelling in his heart: You bastard!Still thinking about double cultivation, why don't you want to go to heaven?
How could your father, who is so dedicated, give birth to you, a slut who always wants to mess with women!
"?"
Ren Pingsheng was stunned: "What is the relationship between the minister and His Highness Chang An's cultivation, and His Highness Yunhe?"
The voice fell.
Emperor Zhaowu's expression instantly froze on his face, and after a long silence, he slowly said, "You are honest."
At this moment, Ren Pingsheng realized that his expression became a little weird.
Emperor Zhaowu thought I was talking about Yunhe just now?
How could he think so.
There is no such thing as a father.
"In front of His Majesty, I only speak from the bottom of my heart, without any deceit." Ren Pingsheng replied.
"For the sake of your honesty, I will give you a chance."
Emperor Zhaowu picked up the imperial pen again, reviewed the memorial, and said casually: "Within fifteen days, if you can find out the mastermind behind the scenes, or recover more than half of the silver, which is 250 million taels, I will sell you a favor and release Mu. If the people in the mansion can't be found out, or if they can't get back the money, all the people in the Mu mansion will be executed after autumn."
Half a month, isn't it a bit tight?
Ren Pingsheng hesitated for a while, bargaining: "Your Majesty, can you be tolerant for a while."
Emperor Zhaowu said casually: "For the sake of Xia Miao's meritorious service, add five more days."
Only five more days?
Forget it, five days is five days.
Ren Pingsheng sighed in his heart, and saluted again: "The minister will take his leave first."
"Wait."
Emperor Zhaowu stopped him: "This year, Xia Miao, you are the number one. It stands to reason that you should be named a general and go to the southern border to lead the army to fight, but I think you and Chang'an will not be married soon, so I will let it go... Speak, I want What compensation?"
ah!Unexpectedly, there was a surprise.
Ren Pingsheng raised his eyebrows without the slightest hesitation: "I haven't seen Your Highness Yunhe for many days, and I miss you very much. I implore Your Majesty..."
Before the words were finished, the emperor said coldly: "Get lost!"
Ren Pingsheng: "..."
Don't keep your word, old man.
He sneered, turned around and was about to leave.
Emperor Zhaowu said again: "Wang Zheng, take him to get a magic weapon."
Wang Zheng saluted: "Your maid obeys the order."
After half an hour.
Ren Pingsheng came out from the warehouse, holding a carefully selected silkworm soft armor in his hand.
"Thank you, Eunuch Wang."
"Your Majesty, you're being polite. The servant girl has to go back to report, so I can't send her away."
Say hello politely.
The prince turned and left.
Ren Pingsheng stood alone on the spot, looking at the silkworm soft armor in his hand, feeling quite satisfied in his heart.
According to Wang Zheng.
The silkworm soft armor can resist all attacks below the sixth rank.
Level [-] attacks can be resisted ten times.
The attack of the fifth rank can resist once.
It is a good defensive weapon.
"My father-in-law is quite generous this time."
Ren Pingsheng thought so, took off his outer robe, put on the silkworm soft armor, put on his outer robe again, and walked away.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly thought of it.
During Xia Miao's time, the emperor asked him to go to Zangshu Pavilion to read "Records of Emperor Taizu".
Some time ago, I had been stopped outside the palace and had no chance to see it.
Why don't you take this opportunity to have a look?
As Ren Pingsheng thought about it, a delicate figure suddenly appeared in front of him, standing in the cold wind, shivering.
"Let's do it next time, otherwise Mu Rou's stubborn donkey might freeze to death when he comes back from the Library Pavilion."
With this in mind, Ren Pingsheng stopped being entangled and left the palace.
After two sticks of incense.
Ren Pingsheng walked out of the palace gate and looked up.
The little stubborn donkey was still standing there, wrapped in his own robe, his delicate body trembling slightly with the howling cold wind, his delicate face was bloodless, looking unusually pale, with a few strands of hair on his temples. The blue hair blows to the side, and the whole person has a strange sense of beauty.
Using the words in female video novels to describe it, it should be broken beauty?
"Little Stubborn Donkey..."
Ren Pingsheng stepped forward, originally wanted to say hello, but inadvertently said what was in his heart. After a second of silence, he acted as if nothing had happened, with a gentle smile and a soft tone: "Miss Mu."
Little Stubborn Donkey... Are you talking about me?
Mu Rou was in a daze for a while, and it took her a while to react, a pang of anger rose in her chest, a faint blush appeared on her pale face, she turned her face away, as if she didn't hear anything.
Ren Pingsheng walked to Mu Rou's side, and asked with a smile, "Miss Mu doesn't want to know, what did I talk to Your Majesty about?"
Could it be that he entered the palace to meet the emperor for himself?
Hearing this, Mu Rou couldn't help thinking about it, and wanted to ask.
But thinking of the little stubborn donkey just now, he pursed his lips and forcibly endured it.
"I've been busy working for the Mu Mansion for so long, and Miss Mu's attitude is really chilling."
Ren Pingsheng stood beside Mu Rou, his tone was low, as if he was sad and lost.
Hearing this, Mu Rou's long eyelashes trembled slightly, she hesitated for a moment, turned her head to look at Ren Pingsheng, and said softly, "Thank you, my lord."
After finishing speaking, I realized that Ren Pingsheng was smiling all the time, and he didn't look a bit disappointed.
"Miss Mu repeated over and over and only said thank you, son. It's really nothing new. Think about something else next time." Ren Pingsheng teased with a smile.
Mu Rou bit her pink lips, turned her face away again, and didn't want to talk to him.
Seeing this, Ren Pingsheng stopped teasing her, and said seriously: "Your Majesty has promised me that within 20 days, as long as I can find out the mastermind behind the embezzlement of ink and silver, or recover 250 million taels of silver, I will pardon everyone in the Mu Mansion." crime."
Hearing this, Mu Rou's eyebrows showed joy, she turned her head to look at Ren Pingsheng, her pink lips parted slightly, and she wanted to say something.
Ren Pingsheng waved his hand first: "Thank you, son, there is no need to say it, I am tired of hearing it."
Looking at the frivolous man in front of her, a warm current surged in Mu Rou's heart and spread all over her body, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her voice was soft: "Thank you, Mr. Ren."
Mr. Ren...
Needless to say, after so many years, this is the first time Ren Pingsheng has heard of this title, which is considered novel.
"When His Majesty truly pardons the people in Mu's residence, it will not be too late to thank you."
It was rare for Ren Pingsheng to be serious: "Time is running out, so don't waste time here, Miss Mu, come back home with me."
talking room.
The steed had already come to him with brisk steps, rubbed its head against his shoulder lightly, and made a flattering nasal sound.
Mu Rou looked at the horse, she didn't know what to think, her face flushed slightly, she didn't say a word, she silently turned her face away, neither looking at the horse nor at Ren Pingsheng.
Seeing this, Ren Pingsheng tacitly did not speak, stretched his arms around her slender waist, and put her gently on the horse's back.
Then got on the horse and said: "The wind is blowing, Miss Mu can get closer."
After finishing speaking, he lightly tugged on the rein and controlled the horse to walk in the direction of Ren's mansion.
Behind.
With both hands, Mu Rou tightly grasped the robe and the corner of his waist, and unconsciously moved closer.
The man's breath rushed towards her face, but she didn't feel disgusted, just a little uncomfortable.
time flies.
In a blink of an eye.
The horse stopped in front of Ren's mansion.
Ren Pingsheng got off his horse, looked up, and saw Mu Rou's face turned away, her soft body was as stiff as a sculpture.
"The little stubborn donkey has made rapid progress, and has learned to descend the donkey along the slope."
Ren Pingsheng chuckled, without saying anything, he stretched out his arms to wrap around her soft waist, and hugged her down.
A warm touch came from the waist.
An unprecedented and indescribable feeling surged in Mu Rou's heart, her body trembled slightly, and she gradually calmed down when her feet hit the ground.
In front of the house.
Seeing this scene, Qiu'er, who was looking forward to it, widened her eyes, opened her mouth slightly, and four words were written on her delicate face - unbelievable.
what did she see.
The young lady and the prince rode on the same horse, and they were still wearing the clothes that the prince was wearing when he left.
That's all, Shizi put his arms around the young lady's waist and carried her off the horse, but the young lady didn't respond at all.
According to what she knew about Miss.
The above three points, in the past, it was impossible for the lady to do any of them.
Don't talk about physical contact, even if there are men of the same age standing within five steps of the lady, the lady will not be able to control herself and want to escape.
The young lady's dislike of men of the same age is definitely not a disguise, but an instinct.
When it is exaggerated, the lady will even feel sick and retch.
therefore.
She couldn't believe her eyes when she saw that the young lady and the prince were acting so intimately.
"How did the prince do it? What happened during the time they left?"
There were countless questions in the little maid's mind, all of which were suppressed abruptly.
Because she is very clear.
For a young lady, it is an excellent thing to have a man of the same age who does not hate her by her side.
"Miss, you are finally back. During the time you were away, this servant was really worried about you..."
Qiu'er stepped forward, reached out to support Mu Rou, and said sobbing.
Although Sister Qiu'er didn't want to accompany her to the palace, she knew in her heart that Sister Qiu'er was thinking of herself and didn't take it seriously, so she said softly, "I'm fine, Sister Qiu'er doesn't have to worry."
aside.
Ren Pingsheng said with a smile: "With this son taking care of your young lady, naturally nothing will happen."
When Qiu'er heard the words, she took it very seriously, raised her eyes to look at Ren Pingsheng, and was sincerely grateful: "My maidservant thank you son."
Ren Pingsheng waved his hand: "Help your lady back to rest."
"Ah."
Qiu'er nodded heavily, reached out to support Mu Rou, and walked into the gate of the mansion.
A few steps away.
Mu Rou stopped in her tracks, turned her head to look at Ren Pingsheng, with a trace of worry in her eyes, and said softly, "Young Master Ren, the matter of the Mu residence..."
Ren Pingsheng knew what she wanted to say, and waved his hand: "There are many strange things about the case of Mufu, Mr. Xiao and I have already started to investigate this matter, you don't have to worry, if we can't find any clues, I will find you help."
Mu Rou lowered her eyes: "Young Master Ren is bothering you, but the matter of the Mu residence has nothing to do with Young Master Ren..."
Why are you being hypocritical again?
Ren Pingsheng sighed helplessly, and said leisurely: "To be honest, you can't help at all now, why don't you go back and recuperate, and help me translate the "Yin and Yang Liangyi Heart Sutra" by the way, so that I will also have the motivation to investigate the case.
Don't worry, even if you can't find out who is behind the scenes within 20 days, it will be a question after autumn, and there is still time for mediation. If it doesn't work, you can write to your master. If he really came to plead for mercy, he would definitely save face. "
Hearing this, Mu Rou was completely relieved, a smile appeared on her brows, and she said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Ren."
"Miss actually called the prince as Mr. Ren..."
On the side, Qiu'er's eyes sparkled slightly, she looked at her young lady, and at Ren Pingsheng who was not far away, the corner of her mouth couldn't hide the smile.
After a few breaths.
The two walked back to the courtyard that Ren Pingsheng had prepared for them.
Ren Pingsheng watched them leave, stood where he was, thought for a while, got on his horse, and went straight to Zhenmensi.
