Ruan's wife is pregnant

Chapter 223 The Emperor's Assassination
Upstairs, Xiyin helped Ruan Cailing spread a thick blanket to ensure that Ruan Cailing would not feel uncomfortable lying down. Gu Jinxi said, "I still have something to do in Tianji Pavilion, take care of Ruan Ruan."

"it is good."

When Ruan Cailing woke up, Xiyin was sitting near the railing looking down, eating melon seeds.

Lifting the quilt and sitting up, Xiyin looked back when he heard the voice, "Yo, are you awake?"

"How long have I been asleep?" Ruan Cailing asked Xiyin.

It has been about two hours since Gu Jinxi sent Ruan Cailing here. Xiyin calculated that according to the extent of Ruan Cailing's ability to sleep, the time spent waking up this day is indeed not as long as falling asleep. Go over and pull Ruan Cailing up from the ground.

"Do you have something to tell me?" Xiyin asked.

Ruan Cailing took a sip of tea to wake up, and after a while she remembered what she was going to say to Xiyin. She rubbed the center of her brows, feeling very anxious, "The more you sleep, the more stupid you become, Uncle Long must quickly develop the antidote for me. "

About this Thousand Day Drunken, Xiyin couldn't understand it best.

The former minister had killed Xiyin's senior brother with a thousand days of drunkenness, but Xiyin's senior brother had a dull expression when faced with a dozen or so masters besieging him, and was finally pierced through the chest by a sword. Seeing this scene, although the group of people were all killed by Xiyin.

But the senior brother didn't come back either.

"You find someone to go to the family. Hope is not a big deal. After all, he is not good at martial arts. He can't go to many places. You have to find evidence for me. The Cheng family and the Lin family at the time, and now Xie Qingyuan colluded." Ruan Cailing said to Xiyin.

Xiyin nodded, "No problem."

Still eating melon seeds, Xi Yin said, "Your itinerary to Jiangnan has already been decided, but in your situation, I'm afraid you will suffer hardships on the way."

"It's fine." Ruan Cailing said.

Because she was infected with Thousand Day Drunkenness, and the plague in the border town was really severe, Ruan Xuchen and Ruan Cailing decided to take Meng Tianlong with them to take care of Ruan Cailing's condition personally, and Meng Tianlong also wanted to see if he could survive the plague. No matter what kind of condition people are in, they can be healed.

Here, waiting for the news from Xie Qingyuan and the others is a bit passive after all.

"I heard that Xie Qingyuan has set off and returned." Xi Yin said.

Ruan Cailing paused holding the teacup, and then sneered, "Does he dare not come back? I just married the princess of Anyang, if Ninglu or Shen Yunyun said something that shouldn't be said in front of Anyang, I'm afraid he won't be able to live Prince Ping's pass!"

"Use a woman to hit Xie Qingyuan? Is it possible?"

There is no other way, now Xie Qingyuan is in the limelight, almost surpassing Wen Rushi who made Xie Qingyuan a senior official.

Ruan Cailing returned to Duke Dingguo's mansion after dark, but unexpectedly, someone was already waiting for her on the roof of Sihua Building, perhaps because Qian Rizui fell asleep for too long in the afternoon. Not sleepy, she asked Li'er to bring her some Peach Blossom Drunk and drink in the main hall.

Under the darkness of the night and the moonlight, Ruan Cailing drank alone.

"It's cold at night, it's better to drink less cold wine."

Accompanied by the sound of trampling dead branches and fallen leaves, Mu Yizuo stood in a black robe with his hands behind his back. The cold white moonlight shone down Mu Yizuo's shoulders onto Ruan Cailing's legs. She looked sideways at the shelf near the Xuanmen in the main hall .

All of them were precious jades she had found from various places, and were also given to her by Gu Jinxi.

Ruan Cailing held a small and exquisite wine glass in his hand, the cup was dotted with faint gold powder, and Ruan Cailing's mouth fat was vaguely stuck to it, Ruan Cailing did not turn his head to look at Mu Yizuo, but said, "The third prince came late at night, could it be In order to ask for a drink from my courtiers?"

"Hey, if you want, I can drink all the wine in your Dingguo Mansion."

He suddenly stepped forward and snatched her wine glass from Ruan Cailing's hand. Facing the moonlight, he could see the wine inside through the pure jade glass. Mu Yizuo did not stain the wine glass, but drank it down.

Ruan Cailing stared at Mu Yizuo's back with a trace of coldness in his eyes.

"Tell me, what are you doing here?" Ruan Cailing asked.

Mu Yizuo stopped joking with Ruan Cailing, and sat down directly next to Ruan Cailing, "One hour ago, my father was assassinated, and the assassin was killed by the imperial guards who rushed over. It took a long time to stabilize father's condition."

The emperor was assassinated!

Ruan Cailing was shocked, and the hand that was pouring the wine stopped, and the peach blossom drunk spilled down the wine glass. Mu Yizuo snatched the jug from Ruan Cailing's hand, and Ruan Cailing came back to her senses. She said, "The palace is full of assassins, why are you Is there still time to come out? Are you here to find my elder brother, or are you here to find me?"

"Coincidentally, I came to find the two princes to discuss this matter, but the two princes are not here." Mu Yizuo said.

Ruan Cailing knew that the elder brother hadn't come back yet. When she left the Yanhua Building, Xiyin also said that Gu Jinxi was going to the Tianji Pavilion. It seemed that there was something to be resolved. At this time, the two princes were not in the capital, but only The next Ruan Cailing, no wonder Mu Yizuo is still here at this time.

Ruan Cailing said, "What did the assassin say before he died?"

This is what caused Mu Yizuo a headache.

Before the assassin was killed, both Mu Yichen and Mu Yizuo rushed to the emperor's bedroom, but when the assassin was unable to say a word before he died, he kept pointing at Mu Yizuo with his bloody hand. .

He could already see the question in the emperor's eyes.

"The emperor doubts you, but you still come out at this time. Didn't you tell the emperor clearly that you have doubts!" ​​Ruan Cailing clapped her left hand on the seat and shouted at Mu Yizuo.

Li'er and Meizi were standing at the door, Mu Yizuo came quietly, but now they heard Ruan Cailing's voice, they didn't know what was wrong, so they had to hurry over to have a look.

When they saw Mu Yizuo sitting beside Ruan Cailing, the two maids were stunned.

"See Third Prince, Your Highness Wan'an."

Mu Yizuo glanced at Ruan Cailing. The latter stabilized his mood. Ruan Cailing took a deep breath and said to the two people who were kneeling on the ground and saluted, "You all step back first, and Li'er will help me pour two jugs of wine."

"Yes."

The news of the emperor's assassination had already reached the homes of all the ministers. Ruan Cailing looked in the direction of Jinse Pavilion and thought for a while, "You came here to remind me and make my father be careful?"

This time, it was obvious that the purpose of the assassin's death was to transfer the emperor's suspicion from Mu Yichen to Mu Yizuo. In this way, the family that helped Mu Yizuo would definitely suffer. Ruan Cailing rolled her eyes and said yes Mu Yizuo said, "In the middle of the night, you should go back quickly. If the emperor goes to your palace to look for you but sees no one, he will definitely be more suspicious. Don't worry, I will tell my father and my elder brother."

Mu Yizuo also lost the playful look before, nodded, and stretched out his hand to cover Ruan Cailing's slightly cold palm, "Be careful in everything."

"Ah, you too."

After this period of time, Ruan Cailing believed that Mu Yizuo must have let go of himself, the relationship between them was just friendship, and the third prince would have to go through many hardships if he wanted to inherit the throne.

As long as she is an enemy with Mu Yichen, then she is her friend.

Ruan Cailing saw it very simply.

This night, even though Ruan Cailing was suffering from a thousand days of drunkenness, she couldn't sleep well, Ruan Xuchen came back only early in the morning, and happened to be having breakfast with Ruan Su and Ruan Qi, it was rare that Ruan Cailing also came.

In fact, Ruan Cailing couldn't get up because she told Li'er before going to bed, no matter what, she must be woken up during breakfast, she was going to Jinse Pavilion and had something to tell her parents.

"I see you falling asleep all the time recently, are you feeling unwell?" Ruan Su asked, seeing that Ruan Cailing's expression was not good.

Before Ruan Cailing came, she asked Li'er to help her with her makeup, so she didn't look so pale, but Ruan Su saw that Ruan Cailing was yawning profusely, as if she was still awake.

Ruan Cailing said, "No, it's just that it's too late to look at the account book. There are many things to prepare before going to Jiangnan. There are also affairs that I want to preside over at the Yanhua Building, by the way."

She suddenly became serious.

"Brother Dad, the emperor was assassinated in the middle of the night yesterday."

"what!"

"What did you say?"

Ruan Xuchen and Ruan Qi were shocked.

Facing the surprised expressions of the two, Ruan Cailing's heavy eyes also became worried, she nodded and said, "Mu Yizuo came out of the palace on purpose in the middle of the night yesterday, and came to tell me the news, just to let you go to court today. Be careful, he, I'm afraid he will be blamed."

She told her family that the emperor was assassinated and that the assassin pointed to Ruan Xuchen before he died. Ruan Su put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and looked at Ruan Qi worriedly, "Master, then... ..."

"It's okay, even if the emperor is suspicious of the third prince, he must have evidence, and he can't listen to an assassin's dying words." Ruan Qi said.

Even though he said so, judging by Ruan Qi's appearance, he didn't seem to be sure.

"In that case, then I will go into the palace with Dad, and I will ask the third prince what's going on." Ruan Xuchen said.

Ruan Qi nodded, "That's fine, then Ling'er, don't run around and stay at home to guard your mother. I'm afraid that someone with a heart will take advantage of this opportunity."

"it is good."

Many people in the court are staring at Dingguo's mansion and the family. Now, the two sons of Dingguo's mansion and Xuanwang's mansion are on the side of the third prince. Now that something happened to the third prince, there must be some people thinking about it. We must take the opportunity to pull down the Wangfu and Dingguogongfu.

"Be careful when you're done. If you encounter any difficulties, let someone tell you." Ruan Cailing sent Ruan Xuchen and Ruan Qi to the door, watched them get into the carriage, and then went home.

Ruan Sushi was also watching not far away, and when Ruan Cailing came back, she saw Ruan Sushi's worried expression.

"Okay mother, don't worry, father and elder brother know it well, besides, the emperor will not be so ridiculous, just relying on an assassin to directly convict Mu Yizuo." Ruan Cailing said.

Ruan Su took Ruan Cailing's hand and said, "It's a good thing you didn't betrothed to the prince, otherwise, mother would really worry to death."
