"Miss, don't be sad. The third prince's ambition is too great, and for a time, he can't be bothered with the personal feelings of his children. But he definitely has you in his heart." Seeing Xue Shaoli's disappointed face, Liu Xu quickly comforted him.
"Yes, you're right. Right now, we should do something big for the prince and let him see my ability." Xue Shaoli immediately came back to her senses and comforted herself.
In reality, aside from power, how could Mu Lingfeng have any other feelings for him? He was destined to fight for the throne since birth. His heart was as cold as iron. He felt that for someone who had done great things, how could they be involved in a relationship with each other?
Regardless of whether it was Xue Shaoli or Zheng Ziyi, who had flattered him so many times, they were merely stepping stones for him to ascend the throne. They only acted on the spot to make them more determined.
During this period of time, many ministers had been praising Mu Lingfeng endlessly. There had even been rumors spreading that he might replace Mu Zhuo as the crown prince. This news made Mu Lingfeng very happy.
However, not even a few days had passed when Zheng Ziyi secretly said something that shocked Mu Lingfeng. "Your majesty, there might be another person with the imperial edict in his heart. That person over there is Mu Sheng!"
When Mu Lingfeng heard this news, he was instantly petrified.
So it turned out that Zheng Ziyi and the emperor were very close. The emperor almost treated her as a substitute for Xue Ruyun, and many things were done with her from the bottom of his heart.
Once he was drunk, Mu Zheng remembered how he had been on good terms with Mu Ying since he was young. He had helped him ascend to the throne regardless of everything and had even handed over the military power.
Mu Zheng felt guilty and joked that the two of them had shared everything before. One day, they would share everything in the mountain and take a look at it as well.
Although this was a joke, it was unintentional and understood the meaning of others' words. Zheng Ziyi's thoughts were clear, and secretly passed these words to Mu Lingfeng.
When Mu Lingfeng heard this, he was shocked and even angered. He didn't expect that after working so hard to deal with Mu Zhuo for so long, he still had another opponent.
But no matter who it was, if they dared to stop him from ascending the throne, then he would kill gods and buddhas when he met gods.
Even Mu Sheng was no exception.
Now that Mu Ying and the others had reached the Qing Shui County, it was as if they had entered his hands. With a little force, he could crush these two to death.
However, it seemed more useful to keep them alive for the time being. As Mu Lingfeng thought of this, he let out a sinister laugh.
Mu Lingfeng said thoughtfully as he drank. His eyes were deep, and one could not see the bottom of his eyes.
"Miss, according to the Third Prince's intentions, we must quickly capture the Prince and Xue Ruoyun." Liu Xu reminded.
"There's no hurry. The more urgent the matter, the easier it will be for it to be exposed. Now that father has discovered that there's a spy in the county magistrate court, he's plotting to capture me." "Let's avoid the limelight first." Xue Shaoli analyzed calmly, not panicking at all.
"I wonder when they will make their move." Liu Xu said anxiously.
"I'll deal with it when it's time for battle. I'll just have to be careful during this period." Let's see what they do first. " Xue Shaoli decided to not change.
"Miss is right."
"You go out first, and carefully observe their every move. If you have anything to report to me in advance, we'll talk about it later." Do not act on your own. " Xue Shaoli warned.
"Okay, then miss, please rest early."
"What you said today is right. Since there is a traitor within this county magistrate, we must first pull out this nail and make a move on him. Slowly, we must break out of this organization." Inside the Songya Courtyard where Xue Ruoyun lived, Mu Ying was still discussing the matters of the day with her.
"Catching this traitor, this is a potential danger, otherwise he will know everything we do." Secondly, we can let him reveal the secret of our organization. " Mu Sheng was very much in favor of Xue Luoyun's suggestion.
"But what is it?" Xue Ruoyun pounded his head, deep in thought. This traitor was within the county magistrate court, and the only one who could be trusted now was Xue Duan Sheng. Everyone else was suspicious.
"Don't knock on the door." Feeling pained, Mu Sheng pulled away her hand, afraid that she would smash her head.
"Got it." Xue Ruyun stretched out his brows and suddenly said, scaring Mu Ying out of his wits and causing him to withdraw his hand.
Mu Sheng looked at her, his eyes filled with light. He liked her the most as she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and burst of wisdom.
"Anyway, we have to be careful during this period of time …" Liu Xu was wiping away the pillars on the side of the corridor when she suddenly saw Xue Ruoyun and Mu Ying walking while secretly walking into the magistrate court. He suddenly stopped talking after seeing his servant, as if he was discussing some secret matter.
Seeing their appearances, Liu Xu followed not too far away.
After seeing Xue Duan Sheng speak a few words, they found an excuse and cast the Grand Master away.
After the Grand Master left, the several people closed the door and entered the inner hall, as if they were afraid of being found out.
This made Liu Xu even more suspicious. She pretended to be wiping the windows, wandering around the hall and listening attentively. However, their voices were too soft, and in the inner hall, Liu Xu couldn't hear them clearly.
Seeing that no one was around, Liu Xu left the work in her hands and sneakily went to the window at the back of the inner hall. No one moved here, so she could hear a lot more clearly.
Liu Xu found a secluded place, bent over, and gently leaned on the door to eavesdrop.
"There's been someone missing for the past few days. It seems like we have to hurry and capture the person who caught them." Xue Duan Sheng said anxiously.
"This is also the reason why we came to find you today. The people of the city have been frightened and can no longer cause any chaos." Mu Sheng's voice sounded.
"The most important thing right now is to catch him." Xue Luoyun said.
"Right, then through him, we can infiltrate the internal organization."
"But why did you avoid Grand Master just now?" Xue Duan Sheng asked in confusion.
"Right now, there is a traitor within the county magistrate court. We do not know his identity. However, those who are able to immediately grasp your movements must be people close to you, so before we know who is the traitor, the less we know about, the better it is. " Xue Luoyun explained.
"Then what is your plan?" Xue Duan Sheng asked.
He saw Mu Ying look around, scaring Liu Xu so much that he quickly lay on the ground, not daring to move.
"This is my inner chamber. It has always been secluded. There is absolutely no one here. Prince, don't worry." Xue Duan Sheng said.
Only after hearing what Xue Duan Sheng said did Mu Ying relax.
"We've already discussed this. In the near future, I will move back and live with them. After that, I will wander around the streets to attract the attention of this group of people. "Once they act against me, you can come out and capture him. As long as you capture him, you can follow the vines and find the location of the organization, and capture him in one fell swoop …" Xue Luoyun said.
"Oh, in that case, turning passivity into initiative, then the following matter will be easy to handle." Xue Duan Sheng came to a sudden understanding.
"But, if you are to be the bait, it will be very dangerous." Xue Duan Sheng was worried about Xue Lao Yun's safety and hesitated.
"I'm fine." Xue Luoyun didn't seem to care at all.
"If I let you put yourself at risk, I'm afraid …" Xue Duan Sheng looked embarrassedly at Mu Ying.
After all, Xue Luoyun was now his fiancée, his future concubine. If something happened, Mu Ying would definitely blame him.
Moreover, Xue Duan Sheng knew that the emperor also cared a lot about Xue Ruoyun. If this time, something happened to Xue Ruyun after he failed, then the two of them would blame him. Xue Duan Sheng's head wouldn't be kept!
"I also advised her not to, but she insisted. For the sake of the people, we can only do this. " Mu Ying looked at Xue Duan Sheng and shook his head helplessly. He loved Xue Luoyun too much, so he couldn't stop her.
"Don't worry, we were just pretending to be captured by him. However, an inescapable trap has already been set up inside and outside the government office. I know martial arts too, it's alright. " Xue Luoyun comforted the two, but his words did not allow for discussion.
After Liu Xu heard this, she was shocked for a moment before hurriedly running away. Hearing the sounds coming from outside the door, Xue Luoyun and the others looked at each other and smiled.
"Take it." Xue Shaoli chose a box of rouge and was dressing.
"Miss, it's bad." Liu Xu rushed in.
"What is it? Why are you making such a big fuss over nothing?" Xue Shaoli glared at Liu Xu, hinting that there were still people around.
"Yes, this servant knows her wrongs." Liu Xu bowed, then quietly stood aside.
"All of you can leave now." Xue Shaoli wiped away her blush calmly and instructed the servants to leave.
Seeing that everyone had gone down, Liu Xu quickly closed the door and windows in the room.
"What's going on? You've almost made people suspicious today. Don't you know that the government is investigating the spies? Are you afraid that others won't know our identities?" Xue Shaoli's reprimands made Liu Xu not dare to move.
She then continued to comb her hair and look at herself in the mirror, "Remember, no matter what happens, you must remain calm and not show off."
"Yes, Miss. This servant understands." Liu Xu lowered her head and said.
"Speak, what is it?" Xue Shaoli asked leisurely.
"Just now, I heard Xue Luoyun and the others secretly discussing that they wanted to lure the people from the organization in." Liu Xu said concisely.
"What?" Xue Shaoli's comb stopped moving. "What did they say?"
Liu Xu told Xue Shaoli every word of the conversation, "Miss, what do you think we should do?"
"At this time, those people are trying to lure us in …" Xue Shaoli stood up after listening, half believing and half doubting.
"A few days ago, they were still talking about capturing the traitor. Why did they become so anxious in the past few days? Why did they suddenly switch to catching the traitor?" Xue Shaoli paced back and forth inside the room, carefully analyzing the situation.
"I don't know. I heard that it's because there have been a lot of people missing these past few days. Perhaps they are getting anxious. Furthermore, with the presence of the Prince, the Old Master would like to end this matter as soon as possible. Liu Xu speculated.
"It's possible, but I don't think it will be that simple." Xue Shaoli thought hard and walked for a while before sitting down again.
"Miss, have some tea." Liu Xu reached for a cup of tea.
"They're going to start moving in the next two days. Should we quickly inform the other side?" Liu Xu asked tentatively.
"No rush." Xue Shaoli stopped him.
"I don't think this matter is that simple. How could it be so coincidental? Xue Luoyun and the others came in to discuss it, and you heard them." Furthermore, this is the critical point where they want to seize the traitor. I feel that all of this is too much of a coincidence. " Xue Shaoli was meticulous and worried that she would fall into her trap.
"Yes, you're right. Right now, we should do something big for the prince and let him see my ability." Xue Shaoli immediately came back to her senses and comforted herself.
