Princess of the Past and Present

A sentence that he once swore once crossed his mind, "I don't like men!"

Mu Jin let go of Mo Shuang as quickly as lightning, and took a staggering step back, still panting heavily.

With a rare blush on his face, Mu Jin hurriedly took the clothes to put on.Mo Shuang held his hand, "Your Highness, change the medicine before wearing it."

Mu Jin glanced at him, the man's face was calm, as if nothing happened.But he was blushing and heartbeating, at a loss, "Yao Bengong can change it by himself, you go out first."

Mo Shuang was silent for a while, "I will take my leave."

Mo Shuang went out, leaving Mu Jin alone in the room.Sitting down on the edge of the bed, his mood has not calmed down for a long time. Just now, he was obviously a little out of control.Even I didn't know why I hugged him all of a sudden, and wanted to go further.

In Qizhou, an official was temporarily transferred to Lingzhou to temporarily act as the governor. Mu Jin was recuperating in Lingzhou while handling Lingzhou's affairs, large and small.

When the wound healed, he set off to return to Beijing to return to his command.The investigation of Liu Fushan's whereabouts and the investigation of the case will be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Back at the Prince's Mansion, he heard Yuan Yuzhi's call just as he got off the carriage and before entering the door.

"Brother Mu Jin!"

Yuan Yuzhi ran towards this side and saw that Mo Shuang's expression changed when he got off the carriage. Why did he come back at the same time as Brother Mu Jin?

But he quickly ignored it, ran to Mu Jin, raised his arms to encircle him, and put his whole body into his arms, "Brother Mu Jin, I miss you so much."

Mu Jin tilted his head slightly and glanced at Mo Shuang from the corner of his eye, pulled Yuan Yuzhi a little away, and said, "Didn't I say this before, you should pay attention to your identity."

Yuan Yuzhi held Mu Jin's hand in his palm, and said coquettishly: "But, I haven't seen you for nearly a month and a half, I really miss you."

Mo Shuang walked towards the mansion with a steady pace, the old housekeeper bowed his waist and greeted him, "The princess has been running all the way, you have worked hard."

Mo Shuang nodded to him with a smile on her face, as a return gift.

Mu Jin looked at the white figure and watched him enter the door.

"Brother Mu Jin, do you miss me these days?"

Mu Jin looked at the person sticking to him, "Let go first, I'm tired, I need to rest."

Yuan Yuzhi let go of his hand obediently, and Mu Jin stepped back to the house. The people around him still followed, and said with a shy face: "Brother Mu Jin, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be in a few days, do you still remember?"

"This palace knows."

Yuan Yuzhi interpreted Mu Jin's words as he knew that their marriage was approaching, and he was secretly happy.So he put on a considerate look, "You must be tired after traveling all the way, so hurry up and take a rest."

Mu Jin went straight to the study, sorted out the big and small things in Lingzhou, and wrote it in a memorial, intending to send it to the palace tomorrow for the emperor to see.

By the time it was sorted out, it was already evening.

Mu Jin entered the dining room, but Mo Shuang was nowhere to be seen.The servants brought up the dishes one after another. Mu Jin looked at the dishes on the table, but lost his appetite.

On the way back to Beijing, I ate every meal with Mo Shuang, and I was not used to being alone again suddenly.

"Can the princess go and call?" Mu Jin casually asked the maid beside her.

"I went to call just now, but the servant girl said that he is still taking a bath."

Mu Jin didn't ask any more questions, picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, but the taste was bland and hard to swallow.

Mo Shuang didn't come until halfway through the meal.

A few vegetarian dishes were brought to the table immediately, and Mo Shuang was seated. Mu Jin stretched out his chopsticks to the plate in front of Mo Shuang, picked up a piece of boiled vegetable heart with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed, and found that the vegetable was better than big fish and big meat. The taste is better.

The next day, after Mu Jin came down from the court, he went straight to the imperial study room and reported the robbery of the official bank in Lingzhou to the emperor.

The emperor saw Mu Jin's memorial, closed it with a snap, and said angrily: "It's unreasonable, a little governor who is corrupt and perverts the law, and dares to lie to others, is really lawless!"

Mu Jin said before the case: "Father, calm down."

The emperor put aside the memorial in his hand, looked at Mu Jin and asked, "Is there any clue about arresting Liu Fushan?"

"Returning to father, my ministers have ordered arrests in all states and counties, and with the assistance of the Ministry of Punishment, it is just around the corner to arrest corrupt officials and bring them to justice."

The emperor pondered: "What about the whereabouts of the 30 taels of official silver?"

"I haven't found it yet, but according to my opinion, Liu Fushan still has other followers in Beijing."

"how do I say this?"

"The officers and soldiers were strictly guarding the official bank during the transportation. There was no emergency before Lingzhou was robbed. Therefore, I guessed that the official bank was stolen in private in the capital. Liu Fushan cooperated with his party members internally and externally to make the official bank be stolen. The false appearance of robbery."

The emperor thought for a while, nodded and said: "It is indeed reasonable, but if you want to convince the world, you must have solid evidence."

Mu Jin cupped his hands and said: "I understand that the truth has not yet come to light. I hereby beg my father to allow me to investigate this matter secretly in the capital."

The emperor looked at his son with great satisfaction, "If you take the initiative to invite Ying, I will allow you to continue to investigate this matter."

"Thank you, Father."

The emperor got up, walked around the case and walked in front of Mu Jin, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "As expected, I was not mistaken, you did not disappoint me."

When he left the imperial study room, he bumped into the sixth prince Zhe Kan.

"His Royal Highness, I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you doing these days?" the sixth prince Zhe Kan asked, clasping his hands.

Mu Jin remained expressionless, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Huang, my palace is doing well."

Zhe Kan looked him up and down, "This king sees His Highness as ashes, I'm afraid it's not that good."

"I have a bad face when I see people I don't want to see. It's always like this. It's just that the emperor didn't notice it."

"Really?" Zhe Kan smiled, and then took a deep breath, "No matter what, you are the prince now, so take care of yourself."

"Brother Huang, don't worry, I will definitely take care of myself."

The light in Zhe Kan's eyes narrowed, and he seemed to mention it unintentionally, "I heard that you have solved the robbery case of official bank and uncovered the mastermind behind the scenes. I am really happy to congratulate you."

"It's just opportunistic."

"This king hopes to be opportunistic once again, and perform well in front of the father."

Mu Jin didn't have the patience to continue talking nonsense with him, and said: "I have something to do, so let's take a step first."

Just as he was about to leave, Zhe Kan said to himself: "By the way, I have recently become obsessed with Taoism. I have read a few books but have not gained much. I still want to go to the Prince's Mansion to discuss the details with the Crown Princess. His Royal Highness will not mind it." .”

Mu Jin straightened his back, put his hands behind his back and said, "If Brother Huang likes it, how can I care about it?"

The corners of Zhe Kan's lips curled up, "Since that's the case, I can rest assured."

Mu Jin left with a flick of his sleeves, and went straight to the queen's bedroom to pay her respects.

Back at the mansion, Shang Shuling Yuan Gang has been waiting at the mansion for a long time with gifts.

Shang Shuling made Yuan Gang smile and said that it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, so he sent some small gifts over.

The two sat down in the main hall, and at first they talked about the robbery of the Lingzhou official bank.Yuan Gang said: "On the face of it, this is an ordinary robbery case. I didn't expect that after the investigation by His Majesty, corrupt officials were found out. I admire you."

"Uncle has won the prize. If Liu Fushan hadn't revealed himself, I probably wouldn't have cracked it so soon."

"In any case, the case was solved, and His Highness has contributed a lot."

If there should be one person who deserves the credit, it is Mo Shuang.If he hadn't appeared in time to save him from the claws of the giant bat, what would have happened later was unimaginable.

"I'm here today, apart from presenting a small gift, I have another matter, I want to discuss it with His Highness."

"Uncle, please tell me."

Yuan Gang said with a smile, "Actually, it's my little girl's lifelong event."

Mu Jin froze for a moment, as if he just remembered his engagement with Yuan Yuzhi.A few months ago, he had postponed the marriage until after the Mid-Autumn Festival.It is only two days away from the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the time really flies like an arrow and the sun and the moon fly by.

The marriage contract with Yuan Yuzhi was arranged by the queen.Mu Jin didn't have a crush in his heart, and he didn't want to disobey the queen's wishes, so he complied at the beginning.

But now thinking of marrying Yuan Yuzhi, I always feel a little inappropriate.

Seeing that Mu Jin hesitated for so long and did not speak, Yuan Gang said, "The twelfth day of next month is an auspicious day, what do you think, Your Highness?"

The expression in Mu Jin's eyes darkened, "To tell you the truth, Uncle, there are countless clues behind the robbery of the official bank in Lingzhou, and I will continue to investigate secretly."

Yuan Gang understood immediately, and then forced a smile and said: "Your Highness is concerned with state affairs, and it is indeed a blessing for the people of the world."

"It's just a matter of duty." Mu Jin also knew that he was a little sorry for pushing the marriage again and again. "Recently, I have to focus on this matter. I hope uncle will be considerate."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Yuan Gang's face, "I understand, let's put the little girl's affairs on hold for now, and His Highness can just concentrate on the business."

Mu Jin felt guilty, "Thank you, Uncle."

As expected, Yuan Yuzhi came to the Prince's Mansion the next day.Unexpectedly, Yuan Yuzhi did not cry.

He brought the moon cakes he made with his own hands and said that he would give Mu Jin a taste. Mu Jin ate a piece and said, "It's well done."

Yuan Yuzhi held Mu Jin's hand and said, "Then I will make it for Brother Mu Jin every Mid-Autumn Festival from now on."

Mu Jin paused, "Actually, there are better people in the world who deserve what you do for him."

"No!" Yuan Yuzhi held Mu Jin's hand tightly, "There will never be anyone better than Brother Mu Jin in this world."

"You haven't gotten to know each other yet, so how would you know?"

"I know, of course I know. I just like brother Mu Jin. In my eyes, no one is better than you."

She was so persistent that Mu Jin felt a headache.At the beginning, he didn't dislike the marriage with Yuan Yuzhi, but now he is so repulsed, even he doesn't know when it will change.

Yuan Yuzhi got up and hugged Mu Jin from behind, putting her face on the back of his neck, "I can wait, no matter how long, I can wait, brother Mu Jin will definitely marry me, right?"

Mu Jin frowned, and untied her hands around her chest, "You go back first, I still have business to do."

Yuan Yuzhi withdrew her hand, "Then I won't bother brother Mu Jin."

After Yuan Yuzhi left, Mu Jin sat alone in the room, glanced at the mooncakes on the table, feeling mixed feelings.
