After being surprised, Mu Furong smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that I failed because of a detail that I never paid attention to."

She loves jade, so she has a lot of jade jewelry. Even she herself can't tell who gave it to her and where it came from.

She sat down resignedly and said calmly, "Does the prince want to put me under house arrest now?"

Seeing that she was so calm, Jiang Xue Ning was even less panicked.

"It's getting late, let's eat first."

Jiang Xue Ning did not treat her harshly and had someone serve her a table full of delicious food and a pot of good wine.

"I won't accompany you, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat after watching me."

They went to another place to eat. Gu Tangli was a little worried, "If we just keep her here, will she become desperate?"

"Then you have to jump too."

Jiang Xue Ning called Que Ling, "Take someone to her house and tell them that I want her to stay overnight."

"Yes."

Queling rode at full speed to where she lived. It was a little remote, but quiet.

She introduced herself as someone from the palace, and soon Mu Qianmo came out personally.

"I wonder what the lady is here for?"

Que Ling said calmly, "The prince wants to keep Deputy Commander Mu living in the palace, and he asked me to come and tell him."

Mu Qianmo frowned and asked tentatively, "Will she be back tomorrow?"

Que Ling shook his head. "I don't know about that."

I have already said this, and it would be bad to say more. I just want to be mysterious and leave some room for imagination.

Que Ling didn't give him the chance to ask more questions and turned away.

As soon as the others left, Mu Qianmo's expression changed immediately and he strode into the study.

"My sister was left in the palace. Something must have happened."

Mu Furong's confidant Yan Liu's expression changed slightly when she heard this, "It can't be so sudden, there is no sign at all."

"My sister didn't go out alone today. She brought someone with her. If something really delayed her, she should have sent someone to report it, not someone from the palace."

Yan Liu made a prompt decision, "I will take people to the palace to inquire about the situation, young master, you go to the military camp to contact Deputy General Zhang."

They must prepare for the worst. Once they find out that Hibiscus has really been detained, they must find a way to force the palace to release her.

The two of them immediately split up, with Mu Qianmo leading his men to the eastern military camp at full speed, while Yan Liu led his men to the direction of the palace.

Wu Jin, who was hiding in the dark with his men, said softly, "Qingsi, take the men and go towards the palace."

She brought her people and followed Mu Qianmo to the east.

The unexpected event occurred when the moon was at its highest point in the sky.

Under the moonlight, a sharp arrow shot through the air and hit Mu Qianmo's vest. He jumped off his horse to avoid the arrow.

Wu Jin raised his sword and attacked him. In just half an hour, he was pierced through the heart by the sword. His martial arts skills were not weak, but in front of a top killer like Wu Jin, he was no match at all.

He said unwillingly, "Who are you?"

Wu Jin did not answer, but swung his sword to chop off his head and put it in the wooden box he brought.

As Yan Liu and her men approached the palace, they were attacked from both sides and strangled. Before she fell, she shouted, "I'm here to see Deputy Commander Mu."

Unfortunately, this sentence could not save her, but could only become her death warrant.

It was late at night and the dew was heavy, but the light in the study was still on.

Jiang Xue Ning and Jiang Li stared at the huge map on the wall. Mu Furong felt very uneasy and looked outside from time to time.

"I wonder if Gu Hanzhou is hiding here, or here?"

She randomly pointed to a few places on the map. Mu Furong took a look and said in a cold tone, "It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime. The crime of treason requires evidence. A jade hairpin can't prove anything."

"A jade hairpin really can't prove anything." Jiang Xue Ning chuckled, "It's obvious that Deputy Commander Mu doesn't understand my style of doing things."

Tonight's drama had just begun and had not yet ended. Jiang Xue Ning was ready to teach her a lesson. It was obvious that she had ambitions but did not know what she had to pay on the road to power.

Mu Furong couldn't guess whether she left her here to break up with him or to do something else.

The worst outcome would be to convict her, arrest her, or, in a more ruthless way, kill her on the spot.

It's not that she doesn't have any trump cards at all. If she wants to kill her, she can use 40,000 troops to deal with Gu Hanzhou and save her life temporarily to buy time.

If she doesn't come back for a long time, Mu Qianmo will definitely realize that something happened to her and he will not remain indifferent.

She analyzed them one by one, trying to figure out the situation and how to deal with it in the best way for her.

There were footsteps outside, and soon there was a knock on the door, and she thought she smelled blood...

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Wu Jin came back with a few people. Behind her were two secret guards, each holding a wooden box in their hands.

"The mission has been accomplished, and the traitor has been killed."

Jiang Xuening looked at Mu Furong who had frozen to the side, "Power is a good thing, but unfortunately the road to imperial power comes at a price. Deputy Commander Mu must be very clear about this."

"Open the wooden box and show it to Deputy Commander Mu!"

With a snap, the wooden box opened, revealing two familiar bloody human heads.

"what!"

"Jiang Xue Ning, I'm going to kill you!"

All her calmness and composure collapsed in an instant. Mu Furong drew her sword at her, but she dodged it easily and was then knocked away by Jiang Li's sword.

She stood there trembling, not daring to look at him again. He was her own brother, and they had even spoken to each other last night.

"Jiang Xue Ning, you will be punished!"

"I've heard this too many times." Jiang Xue Ning said calmly, "I've said that the road to power requires a price."

King Mu Furong's eyes turned red with anger. "One day you will pay the price, and it will be even more tragic than this."

Jiang Xue Ning said softly, "I have already paid the price. My entire family was wiped out."

Hibiscus took a step back, "If you have anything to say, come at me, why are you touching them!"

"If Xiangchu falls in the end, you will be the winner. Will you only come after me?" She said indifferently, "You won't. My friends, my subordinates, and my family will all be implicated and will pay the price."

"So on this road, being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself."

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If you lose, you will pay a heavy price."

“Hahahahahahaha…” Mu Furong covered her heart with her hands, laughing until tears came down her face, “Hahaha, Your Highness really taught me a vivid lesson tonight.”

Jiang Xue Ning pressed on, "This is just the beginning. You still have family in Liangchuan Mu Mansion, right..."

Mu Furong was very emotional and spat out a mouthful of blood. "Jiang Xue Ning, you are completely heartless!"

"It seems that when you were preparing to betray, you didn't think about the consequences of failure."

She had never thought it would come so violently and so unexpectedly. It turned out that she was not so indifferent and indifferent when facing the blood of her relatives.

"What do you want?"
