"In this case, he will have to sign Heli Shu."

Hearing this, Dou Lianyi was stunned for a moment, and she asked subconsciously: "Do you know that I want to make peace with Lu Shangxuan?"

"Of course, and I'm more concerned about this than you are."

As soon as she finished speaking, Dou Lianyi's whole face turned red with embarrassment. She glared at Qin Mu angrily and muttered: "You're not doing anything right. I don't believe what you said."

"I will be very busy during this period, and I may not be able to come to you often, but if you give me some more time, I will tell you everything."

This time Qin Mu did not escape, but sighed and said sincerely to Dou Lianyi.

"Is that really everything?"

"Yes," Qin Mu looked into Dou Lianyi's eyes and promised word for word: "As long as you want to know, I will tell you."

After a while, Dou Lianyi was no longer awkward. Although she was still a little embarrassed, she nodded and said, "Okay."

Just as Qin Mu told her, he would not be seen in the following days, but Dou Lianyi did not feel the slightest bit uneasy or anxious because she was also busy with her shop business.

Not only that, people from Fengxue Pavilion would always come to help and bring her news about Qin Mu.

So even if she can't see others, Dou Lianyi will feel at ease.

Until one day, when she followed Shopkeeper Chen to the dock to inventory the goods, she overheard the porters chatting, and their words seemed to mention something unusual about some recent merchant ships.

Dou Lianyi thought about it and asked Xiao Liuzi to find out.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Liuzi ran over, leaned into Dou Lianyi's ear and told him all the news he had learned.

"The draft is heavy, but the quantity of cargo is the same as before?"

"Yeah," Xiao Liuzi also felt a little strange. He touched the back of his head and asked in confusion: "Is it related to the fact that there are a few more crew members with unfamiliar faces? But that's just two more. Looking at He’s not a very strong person either.”

"I understand, please don't make any announcement about this matter."

"Yes, ma'am."

Before leaving, Dou Lianyi walked to the front of the merchant ships and took a closer look. As expected, someone immediately came out to drive her away.

She didn't say anything, but smiled, turned back to the shop, and asked someone to convey the news to Qin Mu.

Five days later.

Qin Mu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, finally appeared outside the Prime Minister's Mansion. As soon as he saw Dou Lianyi, he couldn't wait to step forward with joy in his eyes.

"Did you know? Those merchant ships are full of gunpowder. You have done a great job!"

"Is it Lu Shangxuan? No, he doesn't have that much courage," Dou Lianyi squinted her eyes, and a name came to her mind. She hesitated, then lowered her voice and asked, "Is it Prince Rui?"

Hearing this, Qin Mu smiled in a low voice, "Lianyi, you have always been smart."

"Then, is it possible..."

"The cunning rabbit has three holes, let alone a prince who has concealed it for so many years," Qin Mu pursed his lips and said with some helplessness: "He threw all his sins on Lu Shangxuan and found a scapegoat for himself."

"You mean, the blame was given to Lu Shangxuan?"

Dou Lianyi was stunned, how could she not realize what this meant.

"After all, only dead people won't open their mouths to reverse the verdict."

Qin Mu turned his face sideways and his tone became a little strange.

"Is it dead?"

Dou Lianyi lowered her eyes and said softly.

She had indeed always wanted to see Lu Shangxuan die, but she never expected that his life would end so dramatically. "Didn't Prince Na Rui escape this time? But what did he prepare the gunpowder for? As a member of Dongchang, don't you have to investigate thoroughly before reporting to the emperor?"

Dou Lianyi didn't want to mention Lu Shangxuan anymore, and instead worried about Qin Mulai.

Seeing her frowning, Qin Mu couldn't help but smile, raised his hand and pinched her earlobe. Instead of denying it, he said, "Don't worry, I will solve all this."

This spring passed quickly, and when summer was about to begin, Dou Lianyi heard the news from Qin Mu that envoys from the Yue Kingdom were coming to the capital to pay homage to the emperor.

Dou Lianyi looked at Qin Mu's frown and asked with some confusion, "What's wrong? Did something go wrong with the envoy?"

"My mother is the princess of the Yue Kingdom," Qin Mu did not intend to hide this from Dou Lianyi. He said calmly: "Now they want to persuade me to return to the Yue Kingdom, and this secret was found out by Prince Rui's men. And they decided that I was a spy."

"what?"

Dou Lianyi stood up in a hurry. Seeing the calm look on Qin Mu's face, she became even more anxious, "Qin Mu, why are you not anxious at all?"

"That's not the worst news."

Qin Mu curled up his lips, stretched out his hand and gently pulled Dou Lianyi into his arms, and said softly: "The emperor is under pressure from the ministers and wants to execute me. What should I do? You will lose your husband before you get married." ”

"At this point, you're still making such a joke with me!"

Dou Lianyi was so angry that she broke away from Qin Mu's arms and kicked him viciously to vent her anger.

"Call my husband to come and listen." Qin Mu was not annoyed. Instead, he teased her, "If I really can't avoid this disaster, I can still rest in peace."

Seeing Qin Mu like this, Dou Lianyi could calm down. She looked at Qin Mu suspiciously, and suddenly an idea flashed across her face.

"No," Dou Lianyi took a step forward, tightened Qin Mu's collar, stared at him and asked word for word: "You must have thought of a solution, otherwise you wouldn't tease me like this!"

"Oh?"

Qin Mu did not deny it, but listened to Dou Lianyi's explanation at leisure.

"If you really can't escape the death penalty, how could you ask me to call you husband? You must be eager for me to stay as far away from you as possible, right?"

Hearing this, Qin Mu was stunned for a moment, and a smile flashed across his eyes.

"Do you still have that wrench?"

"Wear it all the time."

Dou Lianyi didn't hesitate and stretched out her hand directly to Qin Mu, "Are you going to take it back?"

Qin Mu looked at the ring finger carefully. As if he suddenly thought of something, he stood up and said with joy, "Lianyi, I need to use it."

"it is good."

Dou Lianyi didn't ask any questions, but directly took it off and put it in Qin Mu's hand.

"wait for me."

The cold touch made Qin Mu tighten his palms. He looked at Dou Lianyi seriously and said.

Then he turned around and left the Prime Minister's Mansion in large strides.

After that, Dou Lianyi didn't see Qin Mu again for a full month.

Although Dou Lianyi was anxious, she could only hold back and wait silently.

Until one day, a red letter of marriage invitation and an imperial edict were delivered to the prime minister's house.

Looking at the name of the person who wrote it and the finger that came with the letter, Dou Lianyi finally couldn't help but laugh.
