slave like jade

Chapter 72

Mu Ziyue pretended to be surprised, but her eyes calmly gave the maid beside her a wink, the maid nodded almost imperceptibly, turned and went out.

Yingying looked at Mu Lingzhi sincerely with big eyes, and Mu Ziyue said helplessly, "Lingzhi, look... let her go back, actually... Although she has always disliked me in her heart, in my heart , but I never hated her. I had no sisters since I was a child, and I sincerely regarded her as a younger sister. It's a pity—ah, after all, I am not lucky enough to be favored by my younger sister. Now my face is bruised, ugly and unsalable , I’m afraid I’m going to die alone forever!” As soon as the words fell, a few tears fell down, it’s really pitiful to me.

Mu Lingzhi sighed and pulled her into his arms, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, the imperial doctor has already said that as long as you take the medicine obediently, be careful not to get water on the wound, and apply the medicine on time, you will definitely not leave any scars!"

In fact, the wound on Mu Ziyue's forehead was just a thin one, so there was no need to be nervous at all, and Xiang Ye didn't need to make a fuss.But the anger is there, the daughter and future mother of the country that I hold in the palm of my hand like a treasure, was taught a lesson by a lowly little girl, where should I put the face of the dignified prime minister?
Mu Ziyue waited for the opportunity to put her in his arms, and she couldn't bear to say: "Then...how can I have the heart to let her kneel all the time!"

Mu Lingzhi's eyes swept over Mu Ziyue's face, and finally stopped on the pots of precious peonies in the middle of the yard, feeling a little cold in his heart, and said calmly, "Leave her alone, let her kneel if she likes to kneel! "

When Mu Xiang was invited back to the mansion by the maid, he saw a thin figure kneeling in front of his mansion from a distance, and when he found out that this weak woman was the one who hurt Yue'er, the raging fire in his heart instantly disappeared. lit!

Going forward without asking anything, he kicked the person kneeling on the ground over, and Mu Xiang cursed fiercely: "You lowly thing, how dare you hurt my daughter!"

Yu Ruyan knelt at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion from morning to afternoon, five hours passed, her head was in a daze, her knees were still numb all over her body.It's been a day without a drop of water, and his body is extremely weak. He was kicked suddenly, and fell to the side like a lifeless puppet with a 'bang'.

She gritted her teeth in astonishment and got up.Looking back, she saw a middle-aged man in a majestic official uniform staring at her angrily. She was slightly taken aback, then knelt down again in the next second, and said respectfully: "I have seen the Prime Minister!"

"Hmph, the little girl is quite courageous. I didn't look for you, but she dared to run to my house. Why are you kneeling here hypocritically? Thinking that the truth will forgive you. Oh, how naive and ridiculous!"

After seeing Yu Ruyan's alluring face, Mu Xiang's stomach became even more angry - no wonder the always wise Third Prince openly brought a lowly maid into and out of the noble land of the Eastern Palace.
Although the whole body was in unbearable pain and shivering uncontrollably, Yu Ruyan's cold eyes did not show the slightest panic, she looked coldly at the powerful minister in front of her, and said calmly: "Your servant did something wrong, and I took the initiative to come to the door to receive punishment. What can I do to make Mu Xiang extinguish the anger in my heart?"

The noise here attracted more and more passers-by to stop and watch, Mu Xiang took a look at the more and more people gathered, and suddenly didn't know how to answer her words.

In fact, what happened in the East Palace that day, Mu Xiang had already listened to his servants to report in detail, just hearing the three words 'Aphrodisiac Fragrance', his heart was clear——

This thing was filially given to him by his disciples far away in the Western Regions, and now it appears in Wen Xiang's hands, one can imagine who is the mastermind behind this play!
Although he knew that his daughter was wrong first, but it was because of his daughter's reputation that the incident was involved, so Mu Xiang made a big fuss about the accident, automatically ignored Wen Xiang's guilt, and turned around to point the finger at Mu Lingzhi. Complain to the Holy One.

For such a trivial matter, King Liang certainly would not refute his intention, so he had to call Mu Lingzhi to reprimand Mu Xiang to vent his anger. In this way, everyone who attended the banquet in the East Palace that day was afraid of Mu Xiang, and never dared to speak to Mu Xiang again. The news of that day got out, let alone Mu Ziyue.

This method really sealed everyone's mouths very well!
But now, seeing the person in front of him begging for punishment with a calm expression, Mu Xiang couldn't help feeling embarrassed——

Let’s take a light punishment, don’t you just indirectly admit that you made a fuss out of a molehill before;

Punish it severely, after all, Yue'er just licked her forehead, and she is almost healed now.If it really punished her severely, if it spreads out, people will laugh at him for being unfair in enforcing the law, narrow-minded and waiting for an opportunity to retaliate!

In a dilemma, he saw his own daughter and the third prince came out together.

Mu Lingzhi's expression was indifferent, and he glanced coldly at Yu Ruyan who was kneeling on the ground, but she was so thin that her cheeks were sunken, her eyes were dark, and her palm-sized face was frighteningly white. Kneeling on the ground to plead guilty to Mu Xiang, but the thin back is straight——

He knew that she had never surrendered in her heart!
I couldn't help admiring her in my heart, but when I saw her in a state of embarrassment, her deep eyes revealed a bit of reluctance and heartache——

Why is she willing to come to the prime minister's mansion to plead guilty?
Copper money has been guarding Yu Ruyan at the door of the Prime Minister's mansion with Yu Ruyan, and when he saw the Prime Minister approaching, he kicked Yu Ruyan over. I was anxious at the side, but seeing Mu Lingzhi's cold eyes piercing him like knives, my heart trembled, and I stepped forward tremblingly and said in a low voice: "Master, she insisted on it, but she couldn't pull it back. Slave... This slave has nothing to do with her! This slave didn't do the errands assigned by the master, so I ask the master to punish her!"

"I remember it all, and we will count it together in the future!" Mu Lingzhi stared at him and said nothing.

With her back to the gate, Yu Ruyan didn't notice that Mu Ziyue and Mu Lingzhi had appeared. Her cold eyes fixed on the majestic Mu Xiang in front of her, as if she had seen through his worries, and she couldn't help feeling ashamed of him. His hypocrisy——Sure enough, only a father is like a daughter!
She had a calm face, and said in a gentle tone: "No matter what kind of punishment the Master Xiang, the slaves will willingly accept, without any objection, it's just—"

The cold eyes flashed slightly, and he said coldly: "This matter is still done by me alone, and it has nothing to do with the third highness. Please don't blame the highness again, and take back the pleading in front of the holy majesty!"

She disliked being in debt the most in her life, so she had to pay back what she owed to Mu Lingzhi!
It turned out that she came here to plead guilty because she was worried that she would be implicated!

Self-righteous silly woman!

Mu Lingzhi's eyes darkened, and he couldn't help but be annoyed that she didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, but a certain part of her heart became abnormally soft...
Seeing Yu Ruyan again, Mu Ziyue's almond eyes flashed with hatred, her hands clenched into fists under her sleeves, the wound on her forehead seemed to ache again——

If it wasn't for dealing with her, why would I have to take such a big risk!

Seeing that her father didn't know how to deal with her for a while, she turned her eyes, took two steps forward and looked at Yu Ruyan who was in a state of distress on the ground with a gentle smile, and said with a slight smile: "Father, my daughter is fine, so don't make things difficult for me." It's Xiaoqing." After saying that, he stepped forward to help Yu Ruyan himself, wiped off the dust on her face with a silk handkerchief, took her hand kindly and said: "Sister finally came to my house, Please go in and sit down."

Her demeanor made everyone onlookers applaud and praise Miss Mu for her kindness, kindness, and kindness!

Yu Ruyan looked coldly at this extremely hypocritical woman in front of her, a surge of hatred welled up in her heart, the corners of her lips curled up almost inaudibly, this vicious woman had thought up some tricks to deal with her!
Sure enough, when Yu Ruyan was pulled into the mansion by her intimately, she pushed Mu Lingzhi away, and shot Yu Ruyan with her sinister gaze like a poisoned arrow in the dark, and said coldly: "If you want me to forgive you, I will not forgive you." Difficult, tomorrow is Wen Xiang's first seven days, she is young and no one will fulfill her filial piety, why don't you keep her filial piety and perform the gift of a filial son!"

An Lan listened to Yuan'er's detailed report of every move in the mansion, while leisurely trimming the flowers and branches in the pot with small scissors. After a pause, a stern smile appeared on his lips.

Yuan'er said angrily: "Master, you have indulged them too much. Now your housekeeper lets them do whatever they want. A few days ago, Mrs. Gu drove her away without your consent. If you want to drive it away, you have to drive it away, why let Mrs. Gu be the master. Now that lowly servant girl sneaks out of the house without telling you, the master should immediately send someone to arrest her and punish her!"

Glancing at Yuan'er, who was puffed up, An Lan smiled indifferently. She casually cut off the brightest flower in the flowerpot and threw it on the ground, smiling coldly: "Are you also like them?" Do you think that lowly servant girl Xiaoqing has completely fallen out of favor with His Highness this time?"

"Isn't it?" Yuan'er was full of doubts and puzzled, "She shot and hurt Miss Mu. That Miss Mu is the person on the top of His Highness's heart, and she caused His Highness to offend Prime Minister Mu and was punished by the Holy Master. Didn't the master also see it? , His Highness didn't plead for mercy when she was beaten, and His Highness didn't even look at her when she was so sick that she was about to die. Isn't this falling out of favor or something?"

"Oh!" An Lan couldn't help but sneered, "Silly girl, you only saw that His Highness ignored her these days, but why didn't you see that the person who has been guarding her side these days is Who?"

Yuan'er still didn't quite understand, An Lan shook her head and smiled, her plain eyes reflected a sharp cold light, and said coldly, "Copper money is the person His Highness trusts the most!"

"What do you mean, lord?"

"Your Highness seems to be ignoring that lowly maidservant, but he is actually defending her. Think about it, if His Highness still protects her at this time, wouldn't it annoy Mu Xiang even more? Will her end be okay? I know that the imperial concubine attaches great importance to the influence of the Mu family. I am afraid that with a word from Mu Xiang, the imperial concubine will let this lowly maidservant die without a place to bury her!"

Yuan'er understood, and couldn't help admiring his master's cleverness and subtlety even more, and he said sincerely: "It's still the master's interests, who can see everything so thoroughly, slaves admire."

"Then why did Xiaoqing run to Mufu so recklessly? Pleading guilty?" Yuan'er asked again in puzzlement.

"Of course it's an apology!" The sharp scissors in her hand cut off a few more petals, "She is a little bitch, besides pleading guilty, is she going to turn the world upside down? It's just that she wants to resolve the conflict, and Mu Ziyue is not a vegetarian. Can she do what she wants? Let's just wait and see the big show, this time, I'm afraid it will really hurt our good Highness, there are beloved people on the left and right, how hard it is to choose!"

Seeing that her master didn't feel at all appreciative when talking about His Highness and other women, Yuan'er couldn't help being a little surprised, and asked cautiously: "Master... aren't you sad?"

"Sad, why am I not sad." An Lan smiled indifferently, "Is it useful to be sad? Your master has neither stunning beauty nor a family background, what should I use to feel sad? Tell you , I have understood a truth from the first day I became His Highness's woman, this woman, you can't have true feelings, you will lose if you fall in love, and don't expect extravagant favor from your husband, only power and status are the best amulets!"

The small scissors in his hand gleamed sharply.While talking, she cut off all the branches and leaves around a pot of good jade camellia, and after cutting the branches and leaves, she cut off the flowers. After a while, she cut the good pot of jade camellia to pieces, and the last thing left was The branch in the middle of the bottom stands alone, just the opposite of the previous scene where the pots of flowers were competing to bloom, leaving an abrupt stand alone.

"Now that I have power, when I slowly trim off the excess branches and leaves, His Highness will naturally find out that I am good. At that time, do you still have to worry about not being favored?"

Yuan'er's heart trembled, seeing An Lan's gentle and kind eyes filled with sternness at the moment, she couldn't help but tremble with fear - after following her master for so long, she never realized that her master was such a powerful person!
"How's Furong Yuan going?"

Yuan'er replied respectfully: "Mrs. An has been quiet except for smashing the house for two days at the beginning. She listened to people's reports. She stayed in the house all day, copying scriptures and chanting Buddha, as if she had seen through the world and was not making noise. .”

With a cold look in her eyes, An Lan narrowed her eyes and thought for a while, then said coldly: "Although she is dull, she is not stupid, and one day she will know that I caused her."

"Then...then what should I do?"

"There is no turning back. Since I broke my face with her, I never thought of reconciling with her one day. It's a pity that her yard is heavily guarded, otherwise I would have taken the opportunity... Alright, you Hurry up to Mufu to find out what's going on now!"

Because she died with a crime, after Wen Xiang's death, the prime minister's mansion did not bury her generously, and threw a straw mat and a thin coffin in the mass grave.

The mass graves in winter are more murderous than usual.The grass was withered and yellow, revealing piles of uneven grave mounds, some unburied coffins were directly exposed to the sun, groups of wild dogs were rummaging for food, and there was a disgusting smell of decay in the air.The servants of the Xiangfu brought Yu Ruyan to the mass grave, pointed to a new grave not far away, stuffed a burning paper candle into her hand, and said in a harsh voice: "Obey, help Wenxiang to guard seven, if you If you dare to be a little sloppy, we will not let you go."

Yu Ruyan took the things with a lonely expression and walked towards the middle of the cemetery without saying a word. After finding the tomb they mentioned, she set up candle offerings and knelt down silently...
The sun was setting and the night was coming. The temperature in the field was getting colder and colder. The north wind whizzed past my ears, and it was as uncomfortable as a knife blowing on my body.

She tightened the clothes on her body, but the north wind still penetrated into her bones, and her whole body was shivering with cold.His hands were blue and stiff from the cold,

The candle was blown out by the wind, and it was pitch black.The burnt paper was blown to pieces by the strong wind, floating in the cemetery like wisps of will-o’-the-wisp, which made people tremble.The whimpering north wind passed through the mountains and forests, as if a lonely ghost was crying and weeping, making people stand on their heads.

Yu Ruyan's whole body was frozen to the point of numbness, and the breath she exhaled didn't carry any trace of heat. She raised her head numbly and glanced at the few cold stars in the sky, wondering when the sun would come out again?
Although on the surface she and Wen Xiang are both slaves and have similar status, Wen Xiang committed a crime and died. In Daliang, a sinner like this can't even erect a tombstone, but Mu Ziyue wants her to guard seven for a sinner. From now on, she will not be able to hold her head up in front of others.

Moreover, in such a weather where the water is dripping into ice, if she is already weak and stays in the wild for a night, she is afraid that her life will be lost!
Yu Ruyan's heart was cold, and she couldn't help sneering——

She is already the most despicable military prostitute in the world, what could be worse than this.

At some point, goose-feather-like snowflakes fluttered in the sky, and not long after, the world was completely white.

Yu Ruyan lowered her head and looked at the heavy snow, and smiled wryly——

It's really God's death for her, and it's snowing at this time!

In the darkness, there were footsteps 'creaking creaking' approaching her step by step. She was so frozen that she didn't even have the strength to twist her neck to look back. She felt that her heart was frozen, her mind was in a state of confusion, and her breathing became more and more difficult. more difficult...

Seeing her kneeling like a snowman alone in the dark and terrifying mass grave, Mu Lingzhi's heart was suffocated suddenly, and he strode forward and hugged her into his arms, pulling her into him. In her cloak, she could feel the piercing chill all over her body, and the anger in her deep eyes——

"Stupid self-righteous woman, really—"

Holding her tightly in his arms, he felt flustered, confused and heartbroken, and strode back and turned to walk down the hill to the carriage.

The chill on her body gradually dissipated, Yu Ruyan came back from the confusion in a daze, looked at someone's icy face above her head, opened her mouth in disbelief, was she dreaming?

It wasn't until she heard Mu Lingzhi's strong heartbeat that she realized that everything was not a dream, and said hoarsely, "Your Highness...is it really you?"

"To shut up!"

With a pale face, Mu Ling threw her into the warm carriage.

There was a stove in the carriage, full of warmth, when Yu Ruyan Chuchu entered, her whole body trembled comfortably, she rushed to the stove to greedily absorb the heat, until this moment she felt that she was alive again.

Mu Lingzhi lifted the curtain and came in, gave her a cold look, and said coldly, "Who told you to do stupid things on your own?"

Yu Ruyan was startled when she heard the words, wondering what stupid thing he was talking about?
Too lazy to look at her again, Mu Lingzhi told the copper coin, "Go back!"

Suddenly remembering that she hadn't finished her work, Yu Ruyan said anxiously: "Wait, I... I have something to do, Your Highness, go back first!"

After all, she gritted her teeth, got out of the curtain and walked back!

No matter what she promised Mu Ziyue, she would do it no matter what, and she had survived such a long time, and if it was almost dawn today, she would definitely persevere.

As soon as the curtain was opened, the cold wind blowing in front of her made her shiver uncontrollably, she gritted her teeth and got out of the car against the wind and snow, when her body was suddenly dragged back——

Throwed into the carriage again by Mu Lingzhi, he stared at her fiercely with cold eyes: "Wen Xiang was killed by Ben Gong, what crime do you want!"

Without waiting for her to answer, he said coldly again: "Didn't you always deny that it was your fault? Why, are you bowing your head again now?"

It’s okay not to mention it, but as soon as Yu Ruyan said that the grievances in her heart poured out overwhelmingly, she said indifferently and distantly: "Since your highness thinks it is the fault of the servant, then let the servant take the punishment, why bother Come find me from afar?"

Unexpectedly, she dared to speak against him, Mu Lingzhi suddenly froze.

He has always known that she is a cowardly person on the outside, but bold on the inside, but no matter how bold and fearless she is in front of others, she has always been submissive in front of him, and she is not afraid of half a retort, and her voice is never too loud. So, Mu Lingzhi was stunned when he suddenly heard her confrontation.

His deep phoenix eyes narrowed dangerously, and he raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Although you were a victim of what happened in the East Palace that day, you were not completely innocent!" His cold eyes fixed on her, making her She trembled for a while, "Dare you say that you didn't play any tricks in the whole incident?"

Yu Ruyan's heart was shocked——

She knew, how could he not see through the ins and outs of the whole thing if he was as smart as he was!

Guilty lowered his head and did not dare to look into his eyes, but he was still unconvinced.She murmured: "Since Your Highness knows everything, he also bent the law for selfish ends, turned a blind eye and pretended not to know, and let the real people behind the scenes..."

"Wen Xiang is dead, what else do you want? Do you have evidence?" The cold air on Mu Lingzhi made her chest choke, and she dared not speak any more.

"You and that young master Yue have teamed up and made a good show. But what is strange to me is that you and him have only met once, how can you have such great trust?"

His deep eyes were like a pool of deep water, he looked at the woman in front of him fixedly, it seemed that there was a turbulent hidden inside the waves.

"It's not surprising that you believe in him, but it's strange for me. Why does the head of the Yue family, who has always refused people thousands of miles away, trust you so much?"

Yu Ruyan's heart trembled, Mu Lingzhi's words reminded her of one thing——

That day in the East Palace, she just designed to fall into the water on purpose, and she didn't try to seduce Yue Yu later by Wen Xiang, but then things turned out like this, it seems that it was all arranged by Yue Yu.

It's just that the handsome and elegant Yue Yu doesn't look like someone who would set up such a trap at all. Besides, this matter is also related to his reputation and relationship with the prime minister. She believes that these things will not be written by Yue Yu. Maybe it was Wen Xiang who really had an unruly intention towards him!After all, Yue Yu has outstanding looks and a lot of money, so he is indeed a good destination for a woman!

Thinking of this, she felt relieved, pouted and said displeasedly: "I'm not a villain, why can't you trust me, my lord?"

Under the light of the fire, her face gradually returned to blood, and her pouty lips were as tender as a flower. Mu Lingzhi rolled her throat a few times, and suddenly laid her across her knees, and stretched out her hand to lift up her dress——

Yu Ruyan was taken aback by his sudden action, she instinctively wanted to jump off him, he slapped her buttocks unceremoniously, and said coldly: "Be honest!"

Feeling his hands walking on her back, Yu Ruyan was both shy and sad——

He was injured like this, how could he do it?

What's more, this is still on the carriage, just in case, just in case...
Looking at the criss-crossing scars on her back, Mu Lingzhi's heart tightened suddenly, and he frowned——

I still remember how she was when she was sent to her tent for the first time. At that time, her skin was clean and flawless, white and translucent, as if coated with a layer of good oil, smooth and moist, but now, it is already covered in wounds!
Seeing these scars made his heart ache!
He is the third prince of the Great Liang, who can kill the enemy and break the formation on the battlefield, making the enemy generals frightened; he can also turn the clouds and rains in the court, everything is under control, but he can't protect her well alone!
When I brought her back, I wanted her to have a safe place to shelter from the wind and rain, but I didn't expect to make her suffer so much.

Thinking of the disappointment in her eyes towards him in the East Palace that day, his heart ached!

Why didn't he know the grievances she suffered, but in that situation, the more he protected her, the more he was harming her. If he angered the concubine mother, she might lose her life!

The slender hands rubbed gently along the scars on her back, as if trying to iron out the pain on her body, and a trace of pity welled up in the usually indifferent phoenix eyes——

This woman always inadvertently provokes the softest nerves in his heart, so that he can't hate her no matter what, but instead cares about her more and more...

Yu Ruyan lay on his knees nervously, but after waiting for a long time, he did not see his next move.Gradually, sleepiness hit her heart, and she fell asleep on his lap.

Before falling asleep, she murmured unconsciously: "This slave makes trouble for His Highness every day, does His Highness regret bringing me back?"

Mu Lingzhi's expression was shocked, and he said slowly with a firm face: "Never regret it!"

It was already bright when the carriage entered the city through the wind and snow, Mu Lingzhi did not go back to the house directly, but let the copper money drive the carriage to Jinxiuzhuang on Zhuque Street.

He woke up Yu Ruyan.The latter followed him out of the car with a confused face, thinking that the palace had arrived, but when she saw the three gold-plated characters of Jinxiuzhuang, she couldn't help looking at Mu Lingzhi in confusion.

Take her to visit the silk and satin village early in the morning!When will the Third Highness, who is busy with government affairs and even busier with military affairs, have such leisure time?
Could it be that he specially chose the clothes for Mu Ziyue to make amends to Mu Ziyue?

Immediately, she stayed at the door and didn't want to go in, and said with a sneer, "Your Highness, take your time, I'll wait for you in the carriage!"

"Come back!" Mu Lingzhi stretched out his ape arm and lifted her over. He pointed to the various fabrics on the shelf and said, "There will be a chess competition on February [-]th. Choose the fabrics to make clothes for that day."

What?
The abrupt words made her unable to recover for a long time, and she was stunned for a long time before remembering that the last time she played chess with him, he had said that if he won, he could go with him to participate in the annual chess competition in Dongdu, and there was a bag of the money—

In this way, did he indirectly admit that he was defeated by his own hands that day?

In that case, what about the money owed to her?

Yu Ruyan suddenly became excited, Liu Guang's eyes lit up with excitement, and she began to choose fabrics with peace of mind.

Thinking that it was worn for a chess competition, of course it can't be too fancy, but it's also not good to be too dull, so in the end, she chose a streamlined silver Sichuan brocade to make the most fashionable floral pleated skirt at the moment.

The shopkeeper enthusiastically helped her measure the size, and Mu Lingzhi, who was sitting leisurely drinking tea, suddenly said, "I will also make one of this kind of fabric for Bengong."

The shopkeeper hastily bowed to answer, Yu Ruyan was startled, did he want to wear the same color clothes as her to attend the competition?
His face turned red all of a sudden, and his heart was filled with sweetness in an instant!
After choosing the cloth and returning to the carriage, Yu Ruyan carefully observed Mu Lingzhi's expression, and found that he seemed to be in a good mood today, she hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and said courageously: "Your Highness, the bet from last time is still... Have······"

"Yeah." Someone closed his eyes and meditated, and he hummed indifferently after hearing what she said.

"And... there is still a bag of silver, when is it convenient for His Highness to give it to the servant?"

"Ok?"

The deep phoenix eyes slowly opened, Yu Ruyan felt a chill on her face in an instant, she closed her eyes in fright and said against her will: "Forget it...forget it... the silver servant is gone!"

"What do you mean you don't want it anymore?" Someone sat up straight and solemnly began to settle accounts with her——

"The fabric you chose just now is the best Shu brocade, 50 taels of silver a piece, plus the tailor who made the clothes for you was the best tailor in Jinxiu Village, Feng Xiuniang, who did it herself, and the manual cost is 30 taels. After this calculation, you still owe Ben Gong has dozens of taels of silver. Do you still have the nerve to ask Ben Gong for silver?"

"..." A certain person was speechless, not daring to say a word again.

The carriage returned back to the palace, and there was a young man dressed in the clothes of the Mu Xiang mansion standing at the gate of the palace. The young man finally saw Mu Lingzhi come back, so he rushed up to him and whispered something in Tong Qian's ear, Tong Qian's expression changed. Changed, and turned to whisper in Mu Lingzhi's ear.

Hearing the words of the copper coin, Mu Lingzhi, who was originally calm, showed a bit of surprise on his face. He looked at the copper coin in disbelief, and he didn't believe it until the copper coin nodded seriously.

Sensing the change in his expression, Yu Ruyan couldn't help asking: "What's wrong, Your Highness? But what happened?"

Mu Lingzhi followed her words and looked at her, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were probing and probing, as if he was doubting something.

The next second, he said in a deep voice: "Go in, I still have something to do in the palace!" After finishing speaking, he boarded the carriage again, and the copper coins turned around and rushed back and forth.

Watching them leave, Yu Ruyan suddenly thought of something, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly raised her legs and ran towards her small bungalow.

I didn't come home last night, so I don't know what happened to the knife?He would be anxious to find out that he was missing.

In fact, three days ago, Yu Xiaodao took advantage of the darkness to find Yu Ruyan's bungalow.

It turned out that he has been lurking quietly in the palace these days and has not left, but Yunsong Court has added a lot of hidden guards since he broke into it last time, so he can no longer sneak in to find Yu Ruyan, until a few days ago Yu Ruyan was kicked out of Yunsong Courtyard by Gu Qing'er, so he had a chance to meet her again.

Pushing open the door suddenly, she went in, and her heart fell safely to the ground when she saw the little knife lying asleep beside the bed.

When Yu Xiaodao heard the sound of the door opening, his first reaction was to pull out the sword on his body. When he saw that the person who came in was Yu Ruyan, he immediately put away the sword and rushed over. He pulled her hand and said in pain: "Sister Thank you, they didn't make it difficult for you, did they?"

Yu Ruyan was startled when she heard the words——

Yesterday, she deliberately asked Xiaodao to send something to An Ge to excuse him, so that she had the opportunity to go to the Xiangfu to plead guilty, because she knew Xiaodao's character, and if she let him know that she did this, she would definitely not agree.

But at this moment, listening to the meaning in his words, it seemed that he already knew everything.

He glanced suspiciously at Xiaodao, only to see that his eyes were red and his expression was exhausted, as if he hadn't slept all night.Yu Ruyan looked at the snowflakes on his shoulders, her heart froze: "Xiaodao, why did you go last night?"

Yu Xiaodao didn't expect that she saw him through at a glance, his face sank, and he turned his head away from looking at her.

Seeing his appearance, Yu Ruyan recalled for no reason the sudden changes in the faces of the servants of Xiangfu and Mu Lingzhi she saw at the gate of the mansion just now. Boy: "Xiaodao, did you carry me to Xiangfu yesterday?"

"Sister can secretly carry me behind her back, why can't I?" Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Yu Xiaodao groaned displeasedly with a long face.

"Tell me quickly, what have you done?" Yu Ruyan understands his temperament too well. He has clear love and hate, even to the point of paranoia, and he has always acted boldly. Seriously.At this moment, looking at his obsidian-like eyes exuding a cold air, a bad thought flashed in his heart——

She worked so hard to reach an agreement with Mu Ziyue that she would no longer pursue the matter of the East Palace. She had to go through a lot of hardships last night to get through this, but don't cause trouble again!

Yu Xiaodao smiled coldly, a cold light flashed in his dark eyes, and said coldly: "Mu Ziyue dares to treat you like this, how can I let her go!"
