Prisoner of the Eastern Palace

Not long after the conversation between Luo Ange and Chen Ting, Lang Feng reported it to Mu Ke, Mu Ke smiled coldly, his eyes were full of mischief, "It really is him, day and night defense is a house thief that is difficult to guard against. "

He turned around and sat down on the chair, knocked on the table, and thought: "Where is Luo Ange now?"

Lang Feng replied: "Still in the small study."

Mu Ke nodded, and looked out of the window thoughtfully, "Two days ago, a pure white little fox was brought over from outside. It looks cute and is kept in the small yard behind."

Lang Feng understood, "Yes, this subordinate will let someone show Shaoqing to see it."

Mu Ke smiled in satisfaction, "Remember to tell the servants to keep Luo Ange over there for a while."

Then his face turned cold, "While Luo Ange is away, put Chen Ting in the dungeon, and I will interrogate him myself."

"Yes." Lang Feng agreed in a low voice, and then quietly retreated.

Over there, Luo Ange didn't feel the turmoil and the tense atmosphere around him.He thought he was hiding it well, as long as he didn't tell, no one would know the truth about oleander.

As for why Chen Ting wanted to harm him, Luo Ange was going to ask slowly.This young man had stayed by his side for three full years, Luo Ange didn't think he was a bad person, maybe he was deceived by a traitor.

Chen Ting is not in the study now, Luo Ange sent him to rest.No matter how gentle Luo Ange is, there is still a vigilance in his heart. This person is planning to kill him. Even if he has some difficulties, Luo Ange would not dare to stay in the same room with him alone.

Luo Ange sighed, and submerged himself in studying the illustrated book of plants in his hand—he didn't want to suffer any more in this regard.

Just watching, suddenly the palace maid Yaohua came in, sang to Luo An and blessed her body, said with a smile: "I'm bothering Shaoqing, Yaohua came in to find something."

"Well, look for it, don't worry about me." Luo Ange was noncommittal and continued to read his book.

Yaohua rummaged there for a while, and suddenly a crisp bell came to Luo Ange's ears.

Luo Ange looked up in surprise, and saw Yaohua holding a silk inlaid collar in her hand, with a delicate and beautiful silver bell hanging on it.

"Yaohua, what are you doing with this?" Luo Ange got excited and put down the book in his hand.

Yaohua smiled slightly, revealing the two dimples on her cheeks, "Going back to Shaoqing, a little white-haired fox was brought in recently, and Yaohua will find an accessory for it to wear."

"White-haired one?" Luo Ange's curiosity was aroused, "I've grown up so much, I haven't seen a white fox before. Is it in the East Palace? I want to see it too."

A hint of cunning that took the bait flashed in Yaohua's eyes, and she quickly disappeared. She blessed her body and said respectfully: "Of course it is here. If Shaoqing wants to see it, go with Yaohua."

Luo Ange hesitated for a moment, looked at the plant illustrated book in his hand, and looked helplessly at the silver bell in Yaohua's hand, and finally said pitifully: "No... I still won't go to Yu. Xi. Tuan Team. Alone. Family. Now, I have to learn..."

"Then the little fox can still bow to each other." Yao Hua said with a smile.

Luo Ange put the book down with a snap, stroked his sleeves and stood up, earnestly said: "Go and have a look, it's okay to miss reading for a while, let's go."

The yard where the little foxes are kept is in a remote corner of the East Palace, far away from the dungeon, and it will take some time to go back and forth, not to mention that Luo Ange has already been stumbled by the cute little white fox, and he doesn't care at all. I know what happened to the dungeon.

Mu Ke didn't expect the accident to happen so quickly. He was sure that someone behind Chen Ting was instigating, so he just had someone put him in the dungeon. When he was about to interrogate him, the dungeon sent someone to report : Chen Ting is dead.

It was not killed by others, but by suicide.

You don't even need to check carefully, just look at the face to know that Chen Ting has taken poison, and it is extremely poisonous.

In the dungeon, Mu Ke looked at the young man's body with a very bad and gloomy expression.

The jailer at the side reported in cold sweat: "Return to Your Highness, he was still fine when the guards caught him. We just didn't pay attention, and this man is already dead. He must have hidden poison on his body. We blame him." Dereliction of duty, did not search the body at the first time."

Mu Ke took another look at Chen Ting's body, his complexion was gray, and there was blood around his mouth, he probably took poison like arsenic.

"Before he died, did you ask anything?"

The jailer wiped his sweat and said in a low voice: "Your Highness didn't come, we dare not interrogate without authorization... You also know that this is from Shaoqing's side, but I asked too much, Shaoqing treated him so well, Why do you want to murder Shaoqing?"

Mu Ke narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, and asked unhurriedly, "What did he say?"

"He said..." The jailer swallowed nervously, and replied: "He said he had a personal grudge against Shaoqing...but I don't think it's true. How can such a half-grown child have any grudge against Shaoqing? I'm afraid It was because he didn’t dare to confess the master behind his back, and because he was afraid of the severe punishment in the dungeon, he took poison and committed suicide.”

Mu Ke sneered, his eyes were serious, "It seems to be with me."

He pressed his forehead and felt a headache looking at the corpse, "But Gu didn't expect him to die so quickly, that's all, take it out and bury it."

After finishing speaking, he ordered Lang Feng behind him, "Don't ignore the remaining two, you go and check it out, if there is no problem, let them stay by Luo Ange's side, if those two are also tricky..."

Mu Ke paused, and said without hesitation: "Just get rid of it secretly."

Lang Feng respectfully said: "This subordinate understands."

Soon, two guards came over and wrapped Chen Ting's body in a straw mat and took it out.The skinny young man didn't take up much room in the banquet, just like when he was alive, after all, he was just a small chess piece that wasn't very useful and didn't deserve too much attention.

Mu Ke had two confidantes stationed at Yunle's side, and wrote a secret letter after returning to his study, ordering his confidantes to secretly investigate the real culprit behind the scenes.The secret guard sent the letter directly to Yun Le, but Mu Ke also knew that he might not be able to find anything for a while, so he could only wait patiently.

When it was almost time for lunch, Mu Ke walked into the dining room, and as soon as he entered, he saw Luo Ange worried and angry at the porridge on the table.

Seeing Mu Ke coming in, Luo Ange raised his head and complained to him, "I drank porridge last night and this morning, why do I still have porridge at noon? I won't eat it!"

Mu Ke smiled helplessly, and his eyes were full of tenderness, "The imperial doctor told you yesterday that you just cleared your stomach, you can't touch meat, fish, oil and salt for three days, you can only eat liquid food, you should feel wronged first, Let's drink porridge for a few days."

"Hmm..." Luo Ange seldom wronged himself when it came to eating, so he was a little unhappy at this time.He secretly blamed Chen Ting in his heart, if he wanted to kill him, he would kill him, and tricked him into eating oleander, now it's all right, he won't even be able to eat meat.

Thinking of this, Luo Ange couldn't help looking outside, "Why didn't you see A Ting? Where did he go?"

Mu Ke smiled calmly, "Oh, he said he was in a hurry and wanted to go back to Yunle, so I sent a car to take him back."

"Hui Yun is happy?!" Luo Ange was startled, but then relieved.After such a thing happened, I am afraid that Chen Ting would not dare to stay by his side anymore.Although he claims to be gentle and kind, he will not easily let go of those who want to murder him.

"He left in a hurry, it looks a bit strange." Mu Ke lied without blushing, "I wanted him to tell you before leaving, but I couldn't find you at that time. So that's all, I guess he has already left the city by this time."

It is indeed out of the city, but the person lying in the carriage is not a living person, but a corpse.

Luo Ange didn't know what Mu Ke was thinking, so he sighed slightly, "Forget it, let's go."

He suddenly lifted his spirits again, and said with a smile, "I wasn't here in the morning, I went to watch the foxes in the courtyard."

"Fox?" Mu Ke pretended to be surprised, with an innocent look of ignorance, "Since when is there a fox in the East Palace?"

"Yaohua said it was sent from outside a few days ago." Luo Ange looked at Mu Ke suspiciously, "The prince doesn't know?"

"Oh, I don't care much about these little things." Mu Ke smiled, "How about it, is that fox pretty?"

"It's so beautiful." Luo Ange leaned over and fished it under his feet, and brought up a fluffy white dumpling, which was as big as a puppy, with two big ears standing lively, and a delicate necklace hanging around his neck. silver bells.

"Look, doesn't it look good?" Luo Ange pinched the little fox's paw and waved to Mu Ke.

Mu Ke couldn't help laughing. Instead of reaching out to touch the fox, he pinched Luo Ange's face, "Just go and have a look. Why did you bring it here? Isn't it too dirty?"

"Not dirty." Luo Ange looked at the little white fox over and over again, "It's very clean."

While talking, he stuffed the fox into Mu Ke's arms, "Touch it, it feels very comfortable."

Luo Ange tried so hard to bring the topic to the fox because he didn't want to talk about Chen Ting anymore.In his cognition, the prince hadn't found out that Chen Ting wanted to harm him.Now that Chen Ting has returned to Yunle, Luo Ange doesn't want to cause any further complications.

Mu Ke could see these small thoughts clearly, but he didn't bother to expose them, both of them tacitly had something to hide and teased the fox.

Mu Ke held the little white fox's hind neck with one hand, looked it up and down, looked at those blue eyes, and smiled with satisfaction, "It's not bad, it's quite beautiful, let's keep it."

It was probably because His Highness the Crown Prince's method of carrying the fox was too ungentle, the little fox wailed twice, and struggled with its four little paws.

Luo Ange quickly snatched it back from Mu Ke's clutches, hugged it in his arms and comforted him for a while, "Okay, okay, good boy, let's ignore him, he's rough-handed and rough-footed."

The little white fox was still young and very friendly, stretched its neck and licked Luo Ange's chin.The two little things look dear and dear.

"..." Mu Ke gritted his teeth, "Believe it or not, I'll throw you both out!"

Luo Ange ignored the prince's anger, he fondly teased the little white fox in his arms, and pinched its big furry ears, "What name do you want to give it?"

"What name do you want for a beast..." Seeing Luo Ange glaring at him, Mu Ke hurriedly changed his words, "I think this fox's fur is as white as snow, and the spring is as white as snow. It is an elegant thing, why not call it Baixue."

"Vulgar." Luo Ange frowned, and rejected the prince's proposal with just two words.

Mu Ke laughed, "Then what do you call it?"

Luo Ange thought hard for a while, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and stood up holding the little fox, "I want to call it a coal ball!"

"Pfft!" The crown prince spewed out a mouthful of tea, "You are a white fox, what kind of briquettes are you calling?!"

"You don't understand, to say that black is white, and that a deer is a horse, is so ingenious and unique." Luo Ange said it clearly and logically, and Mu Ke didn't bother to argue with him.

Anyway, it was raised for him to play with, so let him be happy.
