Princess of the Past and Present

In the evening of the next day, Mu Jin asked Uncle Chen to prepare a few gifts, which he would bring to the prime minister's mansion as a guest, stay for a meal, and then visit the prime minister's mansion on the way.

Mingli wanted to be a guest, but in fact he took the opportunity to investigate.

Mu Jin was about to leave this room.

"Your Highness."

Mu Jin tilted his head, stood still, looked at Mo Shuang who was coming from the side path, and frowned dissatisfiedly, "Didn't I say that, it's cold outside, remember to wear fox fur when you leave the room?"

"It's okay, I'm born with a cold body, not because I'm afraid of the cold." Mo Shuang went straight to the point and asked, "Your Highness is going out?"

"Yeah." Mu Jin nodded.

"Going to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Mu Jin was a little surprised, how did he know?Obviously didn't tell him anything.

As soon as Mo Shuang heard the news that Uncle Chen was going to prepare a gift to the prime minister's mansion, she rushed over, "If you go there rashly, you will definitely arouse suspicion, and in two days it will be the anniversary of Shimu's death. If your highness doesn't mind , and went back with the minister to offer a stick of incense to the dead mother."

"Dead mother?" Mu Jin looked at her puzzled, "Then the prime minister's wife?"

"She is not the biological mother of the minister." Mo Shuang replied lightly.

Mo Shuang's biological mother and the current prime minister's wife are siblings. They work together as a husband. The elder sister is the main wife and the younger sister is the concubine. Fortunately, they are not fighting openly and secretly like the wives and concubines of other noble families. They still love each other as sisters.

The younger sister married into the prime minister's mansion and gave birth to a son for two years. After giving birth, her health deteriorated. At the age of three, Mo Shuang, who was also suffering from various diseases, was sent to a Taoist temple. Not long after, his biological mother passed away due to illness.

So far, Mo Shuang has adopted the name of the prime minister's wife, and calls the prime minister's wife a mother.

Mu Jin stared at Mo Shuang, and seemed to see a trace of sadness in his eyes, "Actually, you don't have to help me with this matter."

"I feel that nothing can help me." Mo Shuang wrote lightly.

"If I sent your father to the guillotine with my own hands, would you hate me?"

"Yes." Mo Shuang replied firmly.

Mu Jin looked away, "Then why do you help me?"

"However, if His Highness sends a corrupt official to the guillotine, not only will I not hate His Highness, but I will also give my best assistance."

Mu Jin looked at Mo Shuang silently, without any doubt about his words.

He has long been aware of Yin Sheng's corruption and perversion of the law, and now he is cooperating with Mu Jin to secretly investigate his father, not because he wants to kill his relatives righteously, but because he does not want Yin Sheng to take bribes and pervert the law again, and bring cholera to the fore.

Otherwise, the more sins Yin Sheng has accumulated, the more he will be reincarnated in the next life, and he will probably become a beast.

Two days later, Mu Jin and Mo Shuang went to the Prime Minister's Mansion together.

Yesterday, someone was sent to say hello, and today the prince will come back with the princess to offer incense to the second lady.

When Mu Jin and Mo Shuang arrived, it was already dusk and sunset.The prime minister and the prime minister's wife greeted him at the door, and after exchanging greetings, the prime minister's wife led Mo Shuang to worship in front of the second lady's tablet.

His Royal Highness must not be neglected when he comes.The prime minister's wife smiled warmly, and it was not hypocrisy.Yin Sheng had an old face, and smiled far-fetchedly.When Mu Jin saw Yin Sheng's old fox face, he felt inexplicably angry, but he also greeted him with a smile.

The prime minister's wife had someone prepare dinner early, the crown prince sat on the top seat, the princess princess sat on the left seat, and the prime minister and his wife sat on the bottom seat.

Today, the other two sons of the mansion happened to be out on business, so they were not able to serve the table.Mu Jin guessed that it was probably because they knew he was coming today, so they avoided him early.The two sons of the prime minister's family have always been relatives of the sixth prince Zhe Kan, from childhood to adulthood.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was extremely embarrassing, and the prime minister's wife seemed to be fine, and it was rare to see Mo Shuang, so she started talking.

"Recently, I feel better."

"Mother, don't worry, the baby is much better."

"Today is your mother's death day. In my opinion, you can stay with His Highness today. I have my dormitory cleaned up early in the morning."

Mo Shuang nodded, looked at Mu Jin who was beside him, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

Coming here at this time is just to stay.Mu Jin looked embarrassed, looked at the silent Yin Sheng, and said, "Since it's your birth mother's death day, it's fine to stay for one night."

Seeing that Mu Jin's attitude towards Moshuang improved, Yin Sheng's guilt eased a little, and his mood improved, "The humble house is so humble, I have wronged His Highness the Crown Prince."

Mu Jin smiled, "How could that be?"

The prime minister's wife continued to chat with Mo Shuang, "I heard that the Taoist priest of Lingyun Temple passed away a few months ago. If you are free, you should go back to pay homage to him. If it wasn't for him back then, you would not have recovered so quickly. .”

"The boy knows."

After dinner, Yin Sheng said that there was still business to be done, and the prime minister's wife had a conversation with Mo Shuang alone, and Mu Jin had nothing to do, so he followed Mo Shuang to talk with the prime minister's wife.

The Prime Minister's wife has always treated Mo Shuang as if she was her own. She did not agree with Yin Sheng's decision to marry Mo Shuang into the Prince's Mansion as a man.Only because it was the emperor's intention, she didn't stop it.

After talking to Mo Shuang, seeing that it was not early, he called his servants to lead the prince and princess to the dormitory to rest.

Mu Jin and Mo Shuang followed the servants from the house to the dormitory, waved the servants away, and closed the door.Mu Jin turned to look at Mo Shuang, and said, "It can be seen that Mrs. Prime Minister treats you very well."

Mo Shuang nodded, "She is kind and treats her ministers as if she was her own."

Mu Jin suddenly felt relieved, Mo Shuang was a concubine, and his mother left early. Fortunately, the prime minister's wife treated him well, "How do your two elder brothers treat you?"

Mo Shuang chuckled, "Isn't Your Highness here to investigate this?"

"Just asking casually." For some reason, he wanted to know if he was bullied in this house, and if so, he would get it back for him.

"They treat their ministers like brothers."

"Didn't bully you?"

Mo Shuang shook her head lightly, and teased, "Your Highness is probably the only one who has ever bullied a subject in this world."

Mu Jin froze for a moment, listening to his words, he really didn't know whether to laugh or feel guilty.In this world, only he has bullied him, and only he can bully him. It sounds like he should be happy, but the guilt for him still lingers in his heart.

Mu Jin held him between his arms, and he said softly: "However, from now on, I will not allow anyone to bully you again."

"What you said just now is just a joke, Your Highness must not take it seriously." A black shadow flashed outside the window, and Mo Shuang raised her hand to put on Mu Jin's waist, and said calmly, "There are people outside."

Mu Jin raised his vigilance, pressed against Mo Shuang's ear, "Go and lie down on the couch first, and then act after midnight."

"okay."

Mu Jin let go of Moshuang, and raised his voice, "I'm a little tired, why don't I rest first."

"Ah."

The two of them lay down on the bed with their clothes on, and then extinguished the two candles in the room with a blow of finger wind.The room was pitch black, and the people outside saw that the candles were extinguished in the room, so they went to report to Yin Sheng.

"Master, His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess have already rested."

Yin Sheng murmured, "Understood."

After midnight, the prime minister's mansion was silent.Occasionally, the cold wind blows, and the dead branches on the branches make a rustling sound.

Mu Jin and Mo Shuang went out from the window and touched the base of the wall until they reached Yin Sheng's study.There are two windows in the study, one window is closed tightly, and the other window is also closed, but it can be opened.

Mu Jin opened the window, leaning on the window sill with both hands, and jumped in lightly, followed by Mo Shuang.

There was still some light in the study room, and the lanterns on the eaves outside could only see the outline of things clearly.The two split up in the study to find a mechanism that could lead to the secret passage.

In order to hide their wealth, the princes and grandsons usually dug darkrooms in their mansions, and the entrance to the darkrooms is most likely to be located in the study.

Mu Jin and Mo Shuang slept in a room not far from the study, walking a distance from the window, just in time to avoid the night watchman, and came to the study quietly.

Mu Jin moved the bookshelf a little, and with a sound of brushing, several books fell to the ground.Mu Jin's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Mo Shuang, who was looking for a mechanism on the wall.

The two looked at each other in the dark, and then looked at the door. Fortunately, the night watchman didn't notice.Mu Jin leaned against the wall and glanced behind the bookshelf, only to see darkness.

He took out the tinder from his pocket and blew on it, then took a photo inside, tapped his hand against the wall, and gently moved the bookshelf back after confirming that there was no secret passage.

When he bent down to pick up the book, Mu Jin tapped the ground again, but he didn't find anything wrong.Mo Shuang has moved the things on the wall and the multi-treasure shelf, none of which are organs.

Mu Jin crawled on the ground, knocking one brick after another. When he knocked on the brick under the desk, he finally found something wrong. He knocked a few more times and found that the sound was clearer. Obviously, there was something tricky under the brick.

Mo Shuang came over, and a short man beside him asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong?"

"Hmm." Mu Jin raised his head, "Knock it, it seems that the floor tile is empty."

Mo Shuang raised her right index finger and tapped, "It is indeed empty."

"The organ should be near here." Mu Jin swept his palm against the ground, then moved up along the table legs, and reached the edge of the table, where he found a slightly protruding square.

Stretching out his hand and pressing it down, the bricks underneath moved immediately.The bricks under Mu Jin's feet moved away, and Mo Shuang quickly pulled Mu Jin up from the ground, and the bricks under the desk slowly moved away, revealing a dark hole in the ground.The size of the hole is exactly the size of the desk, and the desk is fixed on the ground and cannot be removed.

Mu Jin bent down, stretched out his feet first, and found something like a ladder.Turning back to Mo Shuang, he said, "I'll go down and have a look first."

"Be careful."

Mu Jin bent down and went down the stairs step by step. When he got to the bottom, he couldn't see his fingers. He took out the fire from his arms and ignited it. Then he realized that this was a basement, but the cave was narrow, except for the stairs connecting the ground and the four sides. Stone wall, nothing else.

Mo Shuang also came down from above, and the upper entrance was slowly closed.

The author has something to say: update (*^__^*) hee hee...

Now Mu Jin's concern for Mo Shuang can be provoked naturally.

In other words, do you think Mo Shuang is ruthless when he kills relatives righteously?Let me explain this, I don't mean to express his ruthlessness.But he is more rational and absolutely does not cover up.If Yin Sheng is really a corrupt official and has done something outrageous, he will never forgive him.

In the article, Mu Jin asked: If I personally sent your father to the guillotine, would you hate me?

Mo Shuang replied: Yes.But if His Highness sends a corrupt official to the guillotine, not only will the minister not hate His Highness, but will also fully assist him.

This sentence is the situation of Mo Shuang. He is a filial person, but he can't bear a person who brings disaster to the court.

Huhu, okay, I’m here to explain it in a reading comprehension style again, because I’m afraid that readers won’t see it clearly, and there are too many negative distractions in the text, ~~o(>_<)o~~
