withered prosperity

There were about five or six people in that row of light cavalry, all of them were good horses and saddles, but they arrived in front of them in a short while.

The leading man was dressed in a purple official uniform, and he was about twenty years old. At first glance, Yan Hai felt inexplicably familiar, but he couldn't think of where he had seen it before.

When the man passed by where Yan Hai was standing, he stopped suddenly and looked him up and down carefully.

Looking closely, this man's face is very handsome, but there is a red tire mark between his eyebrows, coupled with his cold and stern expression, it is impossible to feel close to him.

"You are Yan Hai?" He asked bluntly like this: "The servant who came with you from Chaomu Pavilion?"

"Yes." Yan Hai saluted him.

"I'm……"

"Jun Wang!" Mao Jiang trotted over.

"I'm Murong Ji." The man said to Yan Hai: "Sister She has been taken care of, and I will come to thank you someday."

After he finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and headed towards Maojiang.

"I have met the county king." Mao Jiang knelt down on one knee and saluted him. "Maojiang is not effective in doing things, and I ask the county king to punish him."

"Where's Murong Yu?" Murong Ji frowned, and the red vertical lines between his brows became more and more daunting.

"The princess is weak..." Mao Jiang coughed unnaturally: "It's resting in the carriage!"

"Get out and meet me!"

The door of the car was opened immediately, and Murong Yu rushed out extremely quickly, and knelt down under his brother's horse's hoof with a bang.

The horse didn't know if it was a steed or it was just a habit, it didn't move half a step.

"I was wrong brother." Murong Yu opened his mouth and said, "I'm sorry I got into trouble again, please forgive me this time because I am young and ignorant!"

"What's the use of knowing your mistakes? You know your mistakes every time, but you don't know how to correct them next time!" Murong Ji looked at the only younger sister coldly: "It seems that I can only chop off your hands and feet, and don't let me go." Only by running around and causing trouble everywhere can I manage you."

"Don't!" Murong Yu shrank his neck and muttered in a low voice: "If you abolish me, don't you still have to support me, a waste?"

"I, Murong, can't afford it?"

Murong Yu was cornered by his words, and he simply half-prostrated on the somewhat muddy ground without speaking or getting up, looking like he was about to play a rascal.

She had just changed into a dress, which made it unsightly.

"stand up!"

"Do not……"

"what?"

"Actually, I didn't do anything wrong this time..."

"Haven't done anything wrong?" Murong Jifei got off the horse and raised the whip in his hand to whip her. "Is it wrong to come back lying in a coffin?"

Maojiang had sharp eyes and quick hands, and quickly hugged his hand.

"Prince, please calm down first, this is not a place to punish the princess." Mao Jiang advised him: "Prince Cheng and Princess Chilian are both here! Let's talk about our own family affairs when we return to the mansion!"

"Yes! Duke, why are you so angry!" Yin Yutang, who was already standing there, finally spoke out.

Murongji threw the whip in his hand to Maojiang, straightened his clothes, turned around and bowed to Yin Yutang and Yin Chilian who were beside him.

Although he is not as good as these two in terms of rank, the Murong family has the iron armor and golden sword bestowed by their ancestors. According to the rules, all relatives and nobles of the royal family, except for the present, only need to pay a normal salute. Now this salute is passed.

"Sister She is extremely stubborn and has caused a lot of trouble for you, Murong Ji is here to apologize to you for her."

"How do you say that?" Yin Yutang quickly came over to help him: "The princess is brave and resourceful. Thanks to her presence this time, I have gained a lot of help. I will definitely make a statement to the emperor from now on. Please reward me!"

"My own younger sister, how can I not know?" Murong Ji said with disbelief on his face, "Don't speak for her, my lord. This kind of monkey-like girl, what else can she do except get into trouble?"

"I'm fine, what are you doing lying to the king?" Yin Yutang sighed: "The king should have got the news, so I'll ask you to worry about it later."

"The responsibility lies."

Murong Ji exchanged pleasantries with Yin Yutang, then turned to Chi Lian to greet him.

"Princess." He said, "It's really hard for you to travel all the way this time."

"Cousin, you're welcome, just call me Chi Lian." After all, Murong Ji's identity is different from Bai Yinuo's, and Yin Chilian was also very polite to him: "I haven't seen you for many years, my cousin looks more and more beautiful."

"What demeanor? I'm so pissed off." Murong Ji turned his head and glared at Murong Yu who had gotten up from the ground.

"Cousin Yu's temper is indeed a bit flamboyant, and cousin has to control her well." Yin Chilian said honestly: "Otherwise, you will suffer a big loss in the future, and cousin will feel sorry for you, right?"

When Murong Yu heard this, she became excited, and immediately winked at Mao Jiang.

Mao Jiang quickly lowered his head, and even Yin Yutang showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

In this capital, Murong Ji's protection of weaknesses is well known to everyone.

That is to say, after Yin Chilian left these years, Murong Yu was not old enough to do anything extraordinary when she left. She only knew that Murong Ji was very precious to this younger sister, but thinking that she was also a cousin, it didn't matter if she said a few words.

But he didn't know that Murong Ji hated people saying that his sister was not the most.

A few years ago, there was a short-sighted dandy who had a conflict with Murong Yu on the street, and then made a move.

Not to mention that Murong Yu broke the opponent's leg on the spot, and when she returned home, Murong Ji saw the bruise on her face, Murong Ji couldn't help but tie her to a stool and beat her up, and then went out , Interrupted the hands of all those who dared to touch their sister.

Relying on their elders being officials in the court, several sufferers joined Murong Ji's book under their names. Murong Ji confessed to the court and paid them all their crimes and money.But in less than three months, these companies were exposed to some shameful scandals, and they fell down one after another.

Anyone with a discerning eye can understand at a glance that the handiwork of the prison secretary is not the work of Murong Ji!

After that, similar things happened more than once, but those who opposed Murong Yu were either killed or injured, and Murong Ji's reputation for protecting his weaknesses spread throughout the entire capital.

In a word, Murong Ji can beat and scold his sister, but he can't tolerate others saying that she is not good.

Now Yin Chilian took the initiative to step on Murongji's tail, really making people sweat for her.

Murong Ji's complexion really changed.

"Xiaoyu lost her parents since she was a child, and it's all because of my fault that she didn't become a lady like the princess." He said coldly, "I will definitely remember what the princess said, and I won't bother you with the rest. I'm bothered."

Yin Chilian didn't expect him to change his face suddenly, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment, his expression froze immediately.

"Disgraceful thing!" Murong Ji walked up to Murong Yu, dragged her collar and left. "Go home and settle accounts with you!"

"Hey, I'm wearing a skirt!" Murong Yu was thrown sideways on the horse's back, and could only press down on her skirt with both hands. "My dignified Miss of the Murong family, it's too embarrassing to be seen like this!"

"Put a skirt over your trousers to become a young lady?" Murong Ji found a bag from nowhere and threw it on her.

"Don't..." Murong Yu wailed, and skillfully covered her head.

Across a cloth bag, Murong Yu somehow knew that he was passing by Yan Hai, and even grabbed Murong Ji's leg to say goodbye to him.

Murong Ji gave them another look condescendingly, then rode away.

A group of people came and went in a hurry, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"That's how the Murong family behaves." Yin Yutang said to Yin Chilian, "They are all relatives of my own family, so you don't have to worry about it."

"No." Yin Chilian lowered his head: "I said something wrong, which made my cousin unhappy."

"It's nothing, he just has this temper." Yin Yutang turned to the other side: "Bai Guifei probably got the news, and I don't know what the current situation in the palace is. I will go into the palace tomorrow morning to have a look, and you should also prepare. In two days, the Holy Majesty will definitely order you to enter the palace to speak."

"My lord is bothering you." Chi Lian replied coldly.

"I'm taking the coffin of the princess with me, and I can't go back to the mansion until noon, so you go into the city!"

"The prince's mansion must be busy with the funeral, so why not let me take Yan Hai and the others back to the princess' mansion for placement."

"It's not right." Yin Yutang rebuffed her straight away: "There are too many involved in this case, it's better for this king to take care of this person himself."

Chi Lian wanted to say something more, but Yin Yutang raised his hand to stop him.

"There is no room for change in this matter, you don't need to talk about it anymore."

Chi Lian could only keep his mouth shut.

"My lord." It was Yan Hai who came over: "If you enter Prince Cheng's residence, I have a heartless request."

Yin Yutang looked at him suspiciously.

"I'm not afraid of my lord's jokes. I can't sleep well now. Only when I think of Mr. Xiao is still nearby, can I fall asleep peacefully every night." Yan Hai looked at the black-clothed figure beside him: "So, I wonder if I can Please, Mr. Xiao, enter Prince Cheng's mansion together, so that I can feel at ease."
