The concubine will not accompany you: General, Madam ran away again

Chapter 625
Therefore, Mu Shuyao met Mu Wanting in a separate small room in Jingzhaoyin Yamen.

Mu Shuyao also prepared some pastries that little girls love to eat for her.

When the little girl saw Mu Shuyao, she rushed up and cried, "Second Sister, Eldest Sister was so nice when she died, I still have nightmares."

"Good boy, I'm fine now." Mu Shuyao is really not very good at coaxing people, so she reached out and patted Mu Wanting on the back and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'll go back to the Li Palace with Second Sister today. ?”

"But didn't the Mu family commit a crime?" The little girl's eyelashes were still stained with tears, "Father escaped from Beijing privately, isn't the emperor very angry? How can I live in the Li Palace? How many people do I have to have?" Pointing at Second Sister behind her back."

"Silly boy, Mu Yongnian committed a crime, and you didn't commit any crimes. What's more, you're a child. What do you know?" Mu Shuyao patted Mu Wanting lovingly because she didn't sleep well these days, and she was a little tired. small face.

Mu Wanting carefully looked at Mu Shuyao's face, trying to find a trace of playfulness from her face, but the investigation obviously failed.

After a while, she pursed her lips, lowered Mu Shuyao's neck and said, "Second Sister, let me tell you something. Actually, I know where father is going."

"What?" Mu Shuyao pushed Mu Wanting away a little bit, looked at her in disbelief, and said seriously: "Wanting, you can't talk nonsense, it will cause trouble, and you are not allowed to say such words in the future gone."

"Second sister, I'm talking nonsense, I really know." Mu Wanting stomped her feet anxiously, "I went to the fourth sister's courtyard to deliver clothes that day, and I happened to hear her talking to her mother. They were planning to flee to the north. Yu, my mother said that she will find a high-ranking husband for her in the world of Beiyu, so that she will not worry about it for the rest of her life."

"Beiyu, they went to Beiyu?" Mu Shuyao frowned and repeated: "But the capital is heavily guarded, how did Mu Yongnian and the others get out?"

"I didn't hear that very clearly, it seems to say that there is a secret passage in the study or something."

When Mu Shuyao heard this, she gasped and said solemnly: "Wanting, don't tell others these things. If someone asks you, Le just doesn't know what to say. You are just a child, and no one will make things difficult for you." You, but once you say it, if they don't find Mu Yongnian, do you know what will happen to you?"

Mu Wanting had never seen Mu Shuyao speak so seriously before, she nodded in a daze, then shook her head, and whispered, "But... I'm obviously not lying?"

"Yes." Mu Shuyao nodded. "I know that Wanting is a good boy and will never lie, but others may not think so. If you capture Mu Yongnian and the others according to what you said, you will be right, but if they find If not, will they put all their anger on you? They can say that you made up a random route in order to exonerate yourself; they can also say that you are covering Mu Yongnian and the others, because you It's his daughter."

"But... but... Is what I said really the truth?" Mu Wanting was anxious, "The secret passage in the study might think I'm a witness."

"Wanting, you have to know that most of the rich families in the capital are secret rooms and tunnels. A secret passage really doesn't mean anything." Mu Shuyao held down Mu Wanting who was circling in the room, "No matter what , This kind of place is uninhabitable, you go back to Prince Li's Mansion with me first, and you don't care about Mu Yongnian's affairs."

"Second sister, I know you are good to me." Mu Wanting is also a stubborn little girl, she pursed her lips and said: "I am the daughter of a criminal minister, and living in the Li Palace will definitely make my sister be punished." People criticize me, I, I can't go."

Mu Shuyao talked and talked, and finally persuaded Lin Wanting to agree to live in her other courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing. Of course, Aunt Ye was also with her.

After leaving the yamen, Shuyao didn't even return to Prince Li's mansion, and went directly into the palace to explain all this to Emperor Luo, who immediately sent out his secret guards to chase north at full speed.

In an inn in the north of Tianli, a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman were sitting down and discussing things together.

"Rong Xian, why do I feel so uneasy these days? I always feel that something is going to happen." Mu Yongnian said with a sad face after he lost his high spirits when he was prime minister, "Leaving the capital is tantamount to treason."

"Husband, there is nothing to worry about." Rong Xian smiled and said, "I have already received the border defense map you gave to my brother. If you stay in Beijing at this time, it will be dangerous. Do you think the emperor will let you go?" past you?"

After finishing speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, "It's really a coincidence, Yan Ran went there inexplicably a few days ago, Nan Lan assisted the second prince to force the palace and failed, King Guangping and General Dingyuan were sent out again, even our most feared King Li is also going to pacify the rebellious army in the west, if we don't run away now, when will we run away?"

After hearing this, Mu Yongnian nodded and shook his head, then sighed again and again.

Rong Constitution didn't tangle with him on this topic, anyway, he had already been driven out of the capital, and even if he wanted to go back to be his prime minister, he couldn't do it.

At this moment, a woman in a bright green dress came in and complained to Rong Xian, "What kind of shabby place is this? The quilts on the bed smell musty. How can anyone live there?"

"Jiaqing, at what time are you still so picky, you know we are fleeing from disaster!" Mu Yongnian looked at this daughter displeased. He really didn't understand why Rong Xian insisted on taking her out back then. Isn't that innocent girl bad?
"Jiaqing, you just have to endure it for two more days. When you get to our land, you will be a high-ranking young lady. Can you be spared if you are rich in clothes and jade?" Rong Constitution smiled and said, "Think about you." Those third sisters, if the emperor finds out that we have escaped and arrests them all, they are afraid that they will all live in a stinking cell by now."

Mu Jiaqing thought about it, and it seemed to make sense, but she asked in a very puzzled way: "Why did all my rebels flee to the north? My father is a high-ranking member of the dynasty, and my mother is a princess personally appointed by the emperor. , can’t we all live a good life together?”

Rong Xian and Mu Yongnian looked at each other before saying, "Didn't you see how your eldest sister died?"

"Mu Yanran?" Mu Jiaqi paused for a moment and said, "Didn't she die of illness?" She said so, but she was still shocked in her heart. After Mu Yanran died, she also went to take a sneak peek. , that face was so disgusting that she almost threw up on the spot.

"How do you think she got sick for no reason." Mu Yongnian also said, "She died after being poisoned."

"Poison?" Mu Jiaqing was stunned, "Who would be so bold as to come to the prime minister's residence to poison?"
