Princess of the Past and Present

After the meal, the Crown Princess was going to take a bath, while His Royal Highness went to the study to read official documents.

The days are still passing day by day.Reading, painting, playing the piano, dancing swords, and copying are all Moshuang's day.It was Mu Jin's day to go to court and review official documents.

That night, there was quite a commotion outside the Prince's Mansion, thousands of Imperial Forest Army held torches and surrounded the Prince's Concubine tightly.Mu Jin, who was reading official documents in the study, came out upon hearing the words, and saw a large group of Imperial Forest Army at the door, led by the Sixth Prince Zhekan.

Standing at the door, Mu Jin glanced at the people at the door, his eyes uncertain, "Brother Liu Huang led the Imperial Forest Army to the palace late at night, what's the matter?"

The sixth prince, Zhe Kan, came out and cupped his hands, "Return to Your Royal Highness, an assassin broke into the palace tonight, intending to assassinate the emperor. I was in the palace at that time, so I chased the assassin together with the imperial army. Just now, the assassin entered the prince's mansion. The king did not dare to search the mansion on his own initiative, so he surrounded the prince's mansion first to prevent the assassin from escaping."

Mu Jin gritted his teeth secretly, there is no such a coincidence in the world, the assassin hid in his prince's mansion without going anywhere, and it was Zhe Kan who took the lead in chasing him.

"The situation is urgent, and I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will allow me to lead people to search the house and catch the assassin in time." Zhe Kan cupped his hands.

Mu Jin glared at him. If he searched the house for him, nothing good would happen. "I am responsible for capturing the assassin. Since the assassin has infiltrated the Prince's Mansion, I should lead the search in person. Don't bother Brother Six."

"Then... there is His Royal Highness Prince Lao."

Mu Jin turned to enter the door, Zhe Kan called him, "His Royal Highness, I would like to remind you that the assassin's right arm was injured, Your Highness must not admit his mistake."

Mu Jin paused, went straight into the mansion, ordered people to close the gate, and immediately summoned the guards in the mansion to search for the whereabouts of the assassin.

After the guards dispersed, Mo Shuang's figure appeared in the corridor not far away, and he turned and left after only one glance.Looking at his back, Mu Jin frowned suspiciously.

After an hour of incense sticks, the guards came to report one after another, but no trace of the assassin was found.Mu Jin pondered for a while, "Go and search again!"

The guards scattered to search again, while Mu Jin went to the main room.

Just as Dong Ling came out of the main room, he met His Highness the Crown Prince who hurried over, and before he had time to say hello, His Highness the Crown Prince pushed open the door forcefully and walked in.

Mo Shuang, who was sitting on the low couch, was about to get up to salute, but before he got up, Mu Jin had already arrived in front of him, pulling him up by the wrist.Mo Shuang didn't resist, her arms were raised high, and her sleeves were pushed to her shoulders, revealing her white and well-proportioned arms without any scars.

Seeing this scene, Dong Ling shouted, "His Royal Highness!"

Mu Jin's eyes darkened, and his breathing became short of breath. Only then did he realize that the distance between the two was extremely close, and their bodies were almost touching each other.Mo Shuang's arm was raised by him, and his wide sleeve was pushed to his shoulder.

Mu Jin stared straight into Mo Shuang's eyes like a thousand-year-old deep pool, his chest heaved, and all the breath he exhaled hit his face.Mo Shuang turned his face away first, Mu Jin let go of his hand, took a step back, turned and left the room.

Dong Ling hurried over to tidy up his son's sleeves, and a red mark was caught on his wrist. One can imagine how hard the Crown Prince used to be, and distressedly said: "Young master, are you alright?"

Mo Shuang was silent for a long time, "It's okay, let's go down."

The night outside the window was as cold as water, and occasionally a few guards walked by with lanterns.After searching all over the prince's mansion, he failed to find the assassin. After Mu Jin responded to the imperial forest army waiting outside, he dismissed him.

Above Mo Kong, two men floated in the air, the man in green was Lanzhou Xianjun, and the man in black was Hades.Just now in the dormitory, Mu Jin saw Mo Shuang's scene clearly.

Lanzhou Xianjun sighed and looked at Pluto next to him, "Are you happy this time?"

The corners of Pluto's lips curled up, "He also tortured me back then."

"Zi Yue was not wrong about what happened back then."

"It's just his meddling."

"Back then, it was you who wished to trap Fairy Yugui in the underworld with your wishful thinking. Immortal Ziyue just unlocked the spirit spell for her and set her free. You were obsessed with it."

"But if he hadn't been meddling in other people's business, this king should stay with Yugui now." After finishing speaking, he waved his sleeves and disappeared into Mokong.

When the obstinate Pluto fell in love with Fairy Yugui, he was also so persistent and couldn't pursue it so hard, so he used insanity to confuse Fairy Yugui and trapped her in the underworld for more than ten years.

Later, it was Ziyue Xianjun who rescued Fairy Yugui and broke the soul-hunting spell cast on her by Hades.Fairy Yugui was furious and hated Pluto ever since, and vowed not to see him again.

Pluto was so sad that he went to the Heavenly Palace to kneel in front of Fairy Yugui several times and could not be forgiven.After being disheartened, he never went to the Heavenly Palace again, and it was at that time that he had a grudge against Xianjun Ziyue.

The next day, the early riser at the mansion found the body of a man in black in the well.

The news that the assassin's body was found in the well of the Prince's Mansion spread quickly, and Mu Jin was summoned by the emperor to the palace for questioning.

The emperor in a shining dragon robe sat on the dragon chair with a serious expression, "Why did the assassin come to your house last night, Mu Jin, please explain to me."

"Going back to my father, my son doesn't know."

"The assassin broke into the house, and you didn't know?"

"My son was busy with official duties yesterday, and only after hearing what brother Liu Huang said, did I know that an assassin broke into the mansion."

The Sixth Prince who was at the side said: "Father, my ministers and everyone did see the assassin hiding in the Prince's mansion yesterday, the prince responded yesterday that no trace of the assassin was found, but today the assassin's body was found in the mansion. contradiction."

"Oh?" The emperor's eyes fell on Mu Jin, "Is this really the case?"

"Father, my servants led people to search the whole mansion yesterday, and indeed no trace of the assassin was found. As for the assassin's body this morning, the people in the mansion accidentally discovered it."

Zhe Kan glanced at Mu Jin, "His Royal Highness swore yesterday that the assassin was not in the house, and found it again today. Did His Royal Highness not search with all his heart yesterday? Or is there something else hidden in it?"

Mu Jin glared at him fiercely, clearly trying to provoke him with an excuse.

The emperor was displeased when he heard Zhe Kan's words, "Mu Jin, what's going on?"

Mu Jin cupped his hands and responded, "Go back to the emperor, the assassin was not found last night, it was my negligence, please punish the emperor."

The emperor pondered for a while, and took a deep breath, "I will not pursue this matter any longer, the most urgent thing is to find out the origin of the assassin. I will entrust you with this important task, what do you think?"

Mu Jin cupped his hands and said, "I will do my best."

Seeing that the provocation was unsuccessful, Zhe Kan secretly gritted his teeth.

Back at the mansion, the bodyguard came to report the situation.

"Your Highness, the assassin did have a wound on his right arm. Although the body was found in the well, the assassin did show signs of being poisoned and died from drowning. Furthermore, the well water is not deep, so even if the water quality is poor, he will not drown. Preliminary It is speculated that the assassin was poisoned first, and died when he encountered the cold well water."

Mu Jin took a sip of tea, feeling a little strange, he knew best how capable his guards were, "Did you find out?"

The personal guard pondered for a moment, and said truthfully: "The lowly position is dull, thanks to the princess' point."

Mu Jin paused, with complex expressions in his eyes, "What else did he say?"

"The assassin has many stab wounds, old and new, accumulated over the years. The princess conjectures that this person is an assassin from the underworld, and there should be an envoy behind him."

After Mu Jin heard this, he thought for a moment, the secret assassination in the Jianghu is a business that specializes in collecting money and sex, but it is very dangerous to enter the palace alone at night, even the best martial arts assassin will not take the risk.

The only explanation is that not only did he receive money, but he was also poisoned, and he had to take risks in exchange for the antidote, not to mention that there were people secretly helping him, so he easily escaped from the palace and hid in the Prince's Mansion for nothing more than blame.However, the assassin hid in the well and died of poisoning after being stimulated by cold water.

When you think about it this way, it's completely logical.

Mu Jin pondered while holding the teacup, why did Mo Shuang help him?

He closed his eyes, and a sneer appeared on his lips. That man is Yin Sheng's son, so how could he help him?If he was one of the masterminds behind the scenes, the ins and outs of the whole matter would be clear, and he might just say it to gain trust, Mu Jin thought.

The origin of the assassin was soon found out, and the emperor was very pleased, and rewarded Mu Jin with a piece of fine South Sea coral, and praised it lavishly.

Back at the mansion, Mu Jin ordered his servants to put this precious South Sea coral into the main house.

Dong Ling stared at the half-person-high South Sea coral for a long time, and sighed: "My lord, this South China Sea coral is really a precious item. It's really beautiful. It's the first time I've seen such a big one."

Mo Shuang glanced at the half-human tall coral, pursed her lips and remained silent.

In a few days it will be Prime Minister Yin Sheng's [-]th birthday, Uncle Chen came to ask the Crown Princess for advice on what birthday gift he should give.

Mo Shuang just said casually, his father's [-]th birthday, he didn't even remember the date.He was sent to the Taoist temple at the age of three, and he rarely returned to the prime minister's mansion once a year. Even if he came back, he was sent back within a few days because he was too weak to bear it.

As I got older, my body gradually got better.But he was very unfamiliar with the ups and downs of the Prime Minister's Mansion.His father is the prime minister of an extremely human minister, and the two elder brothers who are five or six years older than him are now important officials in the court. It looks like a family.

The prime minister's [-]th birthday was a grand occasion, with hundreds of civil and military officials gathered, and the empress in the deep palace also sent birthday gifts.

The prince brought the princess to pay his respects to his birthday, with a reluctance on his face.Mo Shuang followed behind Mu Jin, and when the officials came to bring their luggage, he returned the greeting with a smile on his face.

Meeting Yin Sheng whom he hated in his heart, Mu Jin cupped his hands expressionlessly to congratulate, "I hope that Prime Minister Yin will be as blessed as the East Sea and live longer than Nanshan."

Yin Sheng smiled all over his face, "With the words of His Royal Highness, the old minister will surely live to live to be over a hundred years old!" After being proud, his eyes fell on Mo Shuang who was behind Mu Jin, and he suppressed his smile, with guilt rising in his eyes meaning.
