April is the end of the world, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are beginning to bloom.

In the late spring, the peach blossoms on the back mountain of Xiangshan Temple were in full bloom. The whole family went to burn incense and worship Buddha together, earning a lot of money for sesame oil, and also got the privilege to go to the back mountain to pick some peach blossoms.

Mu Ting went back and made a peach blossom feast for the table, and also dried a lot of dried flowers, intending to use them to grind into powder and make a birthday peach cake for the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother's birthday is getting closer and closer, and the capital is becoming more and more lively, and people are becoming more and more panicked.

The Zhou family stayed at Qi's house for a month and then set off to go back. With the back and forth on the road and the month at Qi's house, half a year has passed. Uncle Qi Zhan can't just take care of the family affairs.

The second is that they are afraid that if something happens, it will be difficult for them to leave, so it is better to go back earlier.

Cousin Zhou's fiancé, Feng Sixue, was also taken back.

Feng Sixue has been locked in prison since he was sent to the yamen. It was not necessary for Qi Zhan to find someone to ruin his reputation, and he was not able to participate in Chunwei.

The Zhou family made it impossible for Feng Sixue to pay back the money he paid. He was also suspected of murdering and kidnapping Mu Ting. This is a violation of the law. He was sentenced to another year in prison. Although Feng Sixue is still a scholar, his reputation has been ruined, and the Zhou family no longer cares about him.

Just wait for the marriage to be withdrawn after returning home, and the two parties will have nothing to do with each other.

The Zhou family also brought back an imperial decree this time, which was related to chili peppers. The proposal written by Mu Ting was also given to Cousin Zhou. In the future, how high the chili pepper can be on the people's table depends on them. up.

Cousin Zhou also gained a lot of knowledge when he came to the capital this time, and he often followed Mu Ting to see how he manages restaurants, prepares food courts, and even visited all the streets in the capital to see what sells best in this place , What people like to buy the most may not be useful, but it is not a bad thing to know more about these things.

He is also full of ambitions, and wants to go back to plant and manage the peppers to produce flowers.

Young people never lack courage and are not afraid of failure. He hopes that when he comes to the capital next time, he will be able to talk freely. The son of a merchant is no worse than anyone else.

It seems that everyone has found their own direction and is working hard for it.

There are also people who are more anxious in anticipation, such as Mu Wenhui.

As the queen mother's birthday is approaching, he will often receive some bad news, such as the queen mother's health gradually improving, such as the frequent disappearance of his subordinates, and the fact that the people he sent to arrest Mu Ting have never succeeded.

Mu Wenhui felt that the bargaining chip he had raised for so many years should come back and be used, but found that he couldn't catch anyone at all.

Mu Ting himself is not so easy to catch if he has kung fu, and the people around him are also very loyal to him, even the daily food is made by himself, which is simply impossible for people to start.

The emperor also sent people to protect him secretly. As long as his people dared to attack Mu Ting, they would be intercepted and killed by the emperor's people. After losing more than a dozen people in a row, Mu Wenhui became restless.

If on the day of his birthday, Mu Ting can't be held in his hands to threaten and laugh at that person, what's the point of his planning like this.

Mu Wenhui was looking forward to the Queen Mother's birthday coming soon, and the emperor had already secretly removed his wings, so he couldn't wait that long.

Mu Wenhui locked himself in the study, thinking about countermeasures, when the door was suddenly knocked open from the outside, and a man covered in blood fell at the door.

Mu Wenhui was startled, and immediately looked, only to find that this was the Yuan family.

Mu Wenhui quickly reached out to help the other party, "Little General Yuan, what happened, why are you hurt so badly?"

The person lying on the ground was so angry that he opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't even make a sound. After struggling for a while, he died on the spot.

"The Yuan family plotted rebellion, and the emperor issued an order. The Yuan family will be determined from top to bottom, and no one will be left alive."

The dead Yuan family didn't answer Mu Wenhui, but another person spoke.

Mu Wenhui followed the voice and looked up, first saw a sword, the tip of which was still dripping blood, and then up, there was a face he was very familiar with, the emperor's guard - Wang Qi.

Mu Wenhui shook his hands and asked Wang Qi, "What does Guard Wang mean?"

Wang Qi replied indifferently, "It means that after singing for so long, there should be a result."

Since the queen mother drank Mu Ting's stewed soup every day and gradually improved, the emperor changed his mind. He didn't want to cooperate with Mu Wenhui in singing this play anymore. The true identity of the Queen Mother was revealed to the public, giving the Queen Mother a real surprise.

And Mu Wenhui's disgusting existence must not be an eyesore at such a good time and spoil their good mood.

So the Son of Heaven let people do something in advance, and it was Mu Wenhui's henchmen who moved, from the courtiers who had been wooed, to the Yuan family with an army of 20, and finally him.

Without the Yuan family, Mu Wenhui is no longer something to be afraid of.

Mu Wenhui played chess for a long time, and so did the Son of Heaven. It was not easy to get rid of the Yuan family. Fortunately, the Son of Heaven had someone he could use, and step by step he reached the point where he could close the net.

The emperor gave the Yuan family a chance, as long as they handed over the tiger talisman, the head of the Yuan family would kill himself, and the Yuan family could live a peaceful life away from the capital, but they couldn't succumb to their ambitions, so they chose another ending.

Wang Qi pointed his sword at Mu Wenhui, "Mu Guogong, do you want to follow me yourself or do you want me to do it?"

Mu Wenhui stood up, his eyes were as cold as ice, and his face was full of sullenness, "What if I choose neither?"

"Don't choose, deal with it on the spot."

"My lord, the truth is not important. Not everyone wants to know. Whether you live or die doesn't mean much to the emperor."

Mu Wenhui took two steps forward, "How dare you!"

"Do you really think that I only have the Yuan family as a bargaining chip after I have been plotting for so many years? If that is true, why is your master so slow to move me?"

"Guard Wang, believe it or not, as soon as I die, the capital will immediately flow into rivers of blood, and all the people in the capital and even your master will be buried with me."

Wang Qi's reaction was flat, without a trace of expression on his face, "That's easy, as long as the Duke of the country is not dead, you are already old, and you can be boiled to death, there is plenty of time for us to pull out your minions. "

Mu Wenhui obviously didn't expect that the cold-faced guard was a sharp-tongued master, so he sneered, "Then do you dare to try?"

"Wang Huwei, it's easy to enter the government of my country, but it's difficult to get out."

As Mu Wenhui's words fell, Wang Qi saw a row of people standing on the roof opposite him, each holding a bow and arrow, and could shoot him into a hornet's nest just by giving an order.

Mu Wenhui was still talking, and he asked Wang Qi, "Guard Wang, does Guard Wang know how many corpses are buried in the ground you just stepped on?"

"I don't know, would you like to tell me?" Wang Qi replied blankly.

Mu Wenhui choked for a while, this person is quite good at answering.

Seeing that Mu Wenhui stopped talking, Wang Qi kindly eased the embarrassment for him, "It doesn't matter if the Duke can't remember, anyway, Wang Qi will live and die with the Duke today, you can let people look outside the gate, I am young I can endure it, don’t be afraid.”

As if to be a witness for Wang Qi, as soon as he finished speaking, someone rushed to report to Mu Guogong, "The Duke of the country is not good, there are all officers and soldiers outside, and the entire Duke's mansion is surrounded. .”

There was a faint smile on Wang Qi's face, waiting to see Mu Wenhui's reaction.

Mu Wenhui couldn't tell whether he should be angry or have other reactions. He took a deep breath to calm down, and said to Wang Qi, "Take me to see the emperor and the queen mother, and then send someone to find Mu Ting. I will send you to Wang Qi today." You understand everything."

"Master, you are not qualified to negotiate terms."

Mu Wenhui's eyes were sharp, "I do, if you don't want all of you to die together on the Queen Mother's birthday."

Wang Qi thought for a while and said, "My lord, I'm afraid you were reincarnated from the lotus root in that pond, and you have too many eyes." It was a fight with the emperor.

"Then please ask the Duke to follow me and go into the palace."

Wang Qi put his sword on Mu Wenhui's neck, holding him to the outside.

Seeing Wang Qi's reaction, Mu Wenhui always felt that he had been tricked by something. Maybe the emperor didn't want to kill him directly at first, but wanted to get some news from him.

As for what to do specifically, Mu Wenhui recalled what he had said, and then turned to look at Wang Qi in surprise.

Wang Qi was very generous this time, and gave him a smile, "Thank you, Lord Guo."

As long as you know what his bargaining chips are, the rest will be much easier.

All the way out the door, there was a carriage waiting outside, Wang Qi sent Mu Wenhui to the carriage at the first mention, and accompanied him throughout the journey.

After entering the palace, seeing the emperor and the room full of people, Mu Wenhui's guess was confirmed. This is the circle that the emperor set up for him, and he jumped into it on his own initiative.

The Son of Heaven glanced at Mu Wenhui lightly, and said, "All the people are here, let's talk."

The people in this room, including the emperor, the empress dowager, the empress, Xiahou, including Mu Ting, whom Mu Wenhui wanted to see, were all there, including several important officials in the court, who had been waiting for Mu Wenhui early on.

Seeing this, Mu Wenhui laughed a few times, and then said to the emperor sarcastically, "The emperor is a good planner."

The emperor said: "Don't be polite, just tell me, what did you do back then, and why did you rebel."

Mu Wenhui said: "Didn't your majesty check everything out clearly? Do you know everything? Why bother to ask more questions?"

"Because I want you to say it yourself and admit the sins you committed back then." The emperor's eyes were cold, and his tone was even colder.

"Sin, hum!" Mu Wenhui stretched out his hand and pointed at Mu Ting, "Isn't he still alive and well? If it weren't for me, maybe he really wouldn't be here."

"Your majesty, you have come all the way, and there is not a single brother left. You have to thank me for leaving an extra seed for your Chu family. Otherwise, you will be really lonely."

Although the late emperor had many heirs, many of them died when they were young. When they grew up, some died in the hands of the late emperor, and some died in the hands of the emperor. His hands were indeed stained with the blood of his loved ones.

The emperor smiled softly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "You are right, I really should thank you."

"When you finish what you should say, I will thank you personally."

Mu Wenhui looked into the eyes of the emperor, and wanted to ask him what would happen if he didn't tell him, but then he thought of what Wang Qi said before. They didn't necessarily want to know the truth, but he wanted to tell that people.

Mu Wenhui looked at the Queen Mother, "My Lady Queen, long time no see, have you missed me all these years?"

"Shut up!" the Son of Heaven scolded coldly, with anger in his eyes.

Not to say it's outrageous, but it's disgusting to hear.

On the contrary, the queen mother didn't react much. She looked down at her fingers, without looking at Mu Wenhui, and asked softly, "Who are you, you deserve to be missed by my family?"

This contemptuous tone and dismissive attitude were a great stimulus to Mu Wenhui. He clenched his fists slightly, "The Empress Dowager is such a noble person who forgets things. We almost became a family back then. Empress Dowager, you should have It should be my woman."

When it came to what he cared about the most, Mu Wenhui's expression was a little exaggerated, there was some persistence and hatred in the madness, "Qingrou, you and I grew up together, and we almost got engaged, I almost married you But because of that surname Chu, relying on his own emperor, he snatched you away with an imperial decree and forced us to separate. Qingrou, I swore on the day you entered the palace that one day I would Take you back, even if it is your bones. In life, you are mine, and I want you; in death, I want you to be buried with me! Qingrou, you are mine, and you can only be mine!"

The more Mu Wenhui spoke, the more excited he became, and he tried to get closer to the queen mother, his eyes full of madness.

He has been waiting for this moment for many years. He wants to tell Qing Rou how much he loves her and what he has done for her all these years.

"Qingrou, look at me and see how much I like you. I haven't forgotten you for a moment in these years. I remember all the promises we made back then. Qingrou, I'm here to find you now."

Mu Wenhui approached slowly, trying to reach out to touch the Queen Mother, but just as he stretched out his hand, Wang Qi threw it back to the center of the hall with a wave, and landed heavily on the ground.

But this fall did not make Mu Wenhui sober, he still stared straight at the queen mother, and called the queen mother by her boudoir name.

"Enough!" The queen mother scolded, and then helped the nanny beside her to stand up, "Mu Wenhui, as long as you are a human being, you will never say such shameless words if you have a little conscience. Aijia has never had anything to do with you." Never promised a marriage contract, let alone a lifetime promise, everything is just your wishful thinking!"

The Xia family and the Mu family are cousins. At the beginning, the elders were close and had frequent contacts. The Xia family siblings and Mu Wenhui did grow up together, but the Xia family had no intention of marrying the Mu family because of the marriage contract. Wen Hui is a cousin who has never promised anything.

An imperial decree from the first emperor allowed the queen mother to enter the palace, and she has never had anything to do with Mu Wenhui since then. If she had known that Mu Wenhui had such thoughts, she would never have tolerated him until now.

He even killed his own children.

The Queen Mother glanced at Mu Ting, who was on the side, with guilt on her face.

If it wasn't for Mu Wenhui, a black-hearted and vicious person, how could she have mistakenly thought that the child was dead, and had never looked for him for so many years.

"Hehe, wishful thinking, Qingrou, you have no heart, I have done so much for you, saved the child for you, carefully raised it for you, and now it is delivered to you well, you actually said that everything is my wishful thinking, Qingrou, how could you treat me like this." Mu Wenhui's frantic face added a bit of pain.

But these hypocritical words made the Queen Mother furious, "Shut up! You bastard, you secretly changed my child, making me think that the child would be gone after birth, and made him suffer so much. You still have the face to mention, even if you are eaten alive and chopped into pieces, it is not enough to vent the hatred in my heart!"

Mu Wenhui seemed very satisfied with the queen mother's reaction, the pain faded away, and became carefree, even complacent.

He laughed loudly, "Then do you know where the child who died at birth came from?"

Mu Wenhui suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Xia Mingxi, "Yes, it's his. Qing Rou, your good sister-in-law gave birth to two children. Unfortunately, one of them died in the stomach. I really have to thank you If she hadn't seen the dead baby, I wouldn't have thought of such a good plan to steal the money."

Mrs. Xia Mingxi gave birth to twins, and one of them died. She was afraid. First, she was afraid that the twins would be unlucky. Second, she was afraid that Xia Mingxi would blame her for killing one of the children before they were born. Quietly concealed it, and ordered someone to quietly bury the dead baby.

Mu Wenhui happened to meet him when he was burying the child, and at the same time it was reported in the palace that Xia Qingrou, who was still the queen, gave birth. The mother-in-law brought the man into the palace for a reason, and with the help of Xu Qiuniang and the maid, she successfully changed the position, making Xia Qingrou's child a stillborn child, and it became her heart disease ever since.

After bringing the child back, Mu Wenhui found someone to raise him outside. After a few months, he tried to find a way to exchange it with his own child. From then on, that child became the eldest son of Duke Mu's mansion.

The midwife Xu Qiuniang and Xia Mingxi's wife and children were burned to the ground.

It didn't take long for the court lady to fall into the well. So far, he is the only one who knows the truth in this world. He keeps this secret, so that one day he will see the empress dowager in pain, and hate him to death, but there is nothing he can do about him.

Then he will tell her that this is what happened when you betrayed me and married another man.

Then smiled and asked her if she regretted it?

The holy decree back then planted the seeds in Mu Wenhui's heart. He clearly realized how much power he has as an emperor, he can do whatever he wants, and he can have any woman he wants.

The one surnamed Chu stole his woman, so why couldn't he snatch his Chu family's throne, kill his son, and snatch his own woman back?

Seeing that the day he chose is getting closer and closer, he will soon achieve his goal...

Mu Wenhui turned around suddenly, looking sharply at the Son of Heaven, "I didn't expect that after decades of planning, I would never play with you brat in the end. In terms of calculations and cruelty, no one can compare to you with the surname Chu."

"However, it's not that the surname Chu is good at brains. I have to thank King Jin and his son who were played by me in the palm of my hand."

Mu Wenhui laughed as he said that, he seemed very proud, and he walked towards Mu Ting, "Good son, it's a pity to be a father, I taught you so well, let you escape from Chu Heng's bed, you don't know , how much my father wanted him to sleep you, so that I could see my Qingrou collapse and cry on the day the truth came out, brother. Brother. Phase. Rape, just talking about it makes people excited and makes me cry If the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty hear it, and let the people of the world know, your Chu family’s faces will definitely look good.”

"It's a pity that it didn't work out, but it doesn't matter. When your identity is made public, someone will mention that Chu Heng wants to sleep with you. You," Mu Wenhui pointed in a circle, "Your Chu family still can't escape. .”

Mu Wenhui wanted to reach out to pat Mu Ting, and he asked, "Do you like the big gift my father prepared for you?"

Mu Ting moved his wrist and asked the emperor, "Your Majesty, can I beat someone?"

The emperor nodded, "You can do whatever you want."

As soon as the words fell, Mu Ting aimed at Mu Wenhui's eyes and punched heavily, "I like to see brothers, brothers, relatives, and traitors, right? Don't worry, I will definitely give you a few more bastards before you die, and let them Take good care of your eighth brother."

Mu Ting hit hard, and only picked the face to hit, "Don't worry, I have no regrets, I will definitely let them serve you well, are you satisfied with the generous gift I am about to present to you?"

In front of Mu Ting, Mu Wenhui had no power to fight back, he could only be pressed and beaten, perhaps because he was afraid of embarrassment, no matter how hard Mu Ting beat him, he didn't even utter a word.

When Mu Ting stopped, Mu Wenhui's face could no longer be seen. Mu Wenhui sat on the ground and laughed softly, "Winner and loser, today I lost, let you do what you want, but I will be here below Waiting for you, believe me, you will come down soon, and everyone will come down to accompany me!"

Mu Wenhui stretched out his hands and stretched his arms upwards, his tone was extremely crazy.

Mu Ting shook his hand and punched again, knocking Mu Wenhui's head off, "Stay with your mother!"

He kicked Mu Wenhui down and stepped on him, "Don't worry, I won't let you die easily, after all, you haven't confiscated the gift I gave you."

"I won't let you die, but there are many ways in this world to torture people to the point that life is worse than death. Someone will let you enjoy it."

Mu Wenhui laughed stupidly, "Life is better than death. I have tasted enough of this kind of feeling. I have suffered so much when the dog emperor robbed my woman. Now I am not afraid. What do you have?" As long as you use it, I will accompany you."

Mu Wenhui turned his head in the same direction and went to look at the Queen Mother, "Qingrou, do you like the truth you heard today? It's all because of you, you killed your brother's wife and child, you almost killed yourself His own son was defiled by his cousin. It was all your fault, and it was all caused by leaving me. "

"You are the chief culprit of all this, Qing Rou, what face do you have to live, what face do you have to face your brother, your child, you should die, die with me!"

Mu Wenhui looked at the Empress Dowager with resentment in his eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person.

The Empress Dowager's illness has improved, but after all, it was because of years of heart knots and depression, she felt guilty for not being able to find a child, and now she knows that her brother, wife and daughter were all killed by Mu Wenhui because of her, and Mu Ting The matter with Chu Heng...

Thinking about these things, the queen mother felt sad, she really started coughing, and the coughing became more and more severe and she couldn't stop, at the end she vomited a mouthful of blood and passed out directly.

The energy and spirit that had been regained with great difficulty were probably completely wasted because of this vomiting of blood.

The empress dowager fainted, and everyone was anxious, and rushed to pass on the imperial doctor.

Only Mu Wenhui smiled complacently, "I said before, she is mine at birth, and she will enter my grave after death hahaha..."

But after a short laugh, the laughter stopped abruptly. Mu Ting drew Wang Qi's saber and pressed it to Mu Wenhui's neck, telling him coldly, "You won't have a grave, you will be quartered by five horses and thrown in a mess." Zanggang, you will have no bones left, and all your ideas will not be realized!"

Mu Ting raised his sword and cut off Mu Wenhui's nose.
