The development of the matter was almost exactly as Mu Qiu expected - after Song Zichen made a request to take care of the young son, the emperor not only readily agreed, but also praised his determination to serve the country in front of all the officials. The military power of the Northwest Division was handed over to him, and he was also given the armor seal of General Zhengxi.The army is scheduled to go out in three days. When the army leaves, the emperor will also personally reward the soldiers of the three armies to show the prestige of the country.

"Your Highness has done a good job." Following Song Zichen into the study, Mu Qiu closed the door, poured a cup of tea and put it in his hand, smiled and praised warmly, "In this way, both the family and the prince will have The emperor will take care of it on his behalf, and we will have no worries."

"Say it as if I've given you permission to go with me."

Song Zichen talked about how thirsty he was for half a day. Hearing this, he chuckled lightly, drank the tea in his cup, raised his hand and pulled Mu Qiu to sit down together: "I haven't forgotten—you said wait If you have something to tell me when you come back, you can’t just fool around like this.”

Mu Qiu sat down following his strength, but when he heard the words, his expression was suddenly slightly startled, he pondered for a moment and suddenly got up, took half a step back and fell to his knees on the ground.Before Song Zichen had time to pull him, he saw him prostrating deeply: "Your Highness, please forgive Mu Qiu's crime."

"What are you doing - get up!"

Song Zichen was startled by him, pulled him up, and was afraid that he would do something shocking again, so he simply dragged him open the secret door and went straight into the bedroom, and pulled him to the side of the couch to sit together Next: "It's clean here, so feel free to say whatever you want, and don't apologize to me for nothing, you know?"

"It's been going on for a long time, but Mu Qiu didn't report it because of his own advances and retreats. It was a crime in the first place - talking about the prince was a crime..."

Mu Qiu smiled helplessly, shook his head slightly and responded slowly: "This matter is of great importance, Mu Qiu dare not lie to His Highness in the slightest, I just hope His Highness can be more vigilant, and Mu Qiu is willing to plead guilty."

"Tell me." Song Zichen's gaze finally became serious. He always thought that he had lived once, at least he knew almost everything he needed to know, but now what Mu Qiu wanted to say was obviously of great importance, but he didn't. A little bit of clues—could there be too many secrets that I don't know in this pile of things?

Mu Qiu pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then put her hand into her bosom, took out several small porcelain bottles and laid them out in a row.Before Song Zichen could react, he lowered his eyes and said softly: "From left to right, this row is Liuchu Frost, Jinfengyulu, Qijue Pill, Mixianyin, Ten Days Drunk, and Broken Hearts Powder, all of which can be ordered. The poisonous drug that kills people is what I found on the servants of the mansion in the past two months."

"What did you say?" Even though he was ready, Song Zichen couldn't help but feel a huge shock in his heart. He stood up abruptly, and after a while he clenched his fists and asked in a low voice, "Where did all these come from?"

"At the residence of the third highness." Mu Qiu met his stupefied gaze without evasiveness, and said each word with a rare low tone, "The poison is not aimed at your highness, it has always been on the side of the princess." What happened. After that, I was always careful to guard against whether someone would still poison the princess, but I never thought that it would change on the day the princess gave birth..."

Song Zixuan.I don't know whether it's hate or hate to chew on this name, Song Zichen really didn't expect that his loyal third brother would really do it so early, that he had already started to reach into his mansion at this time, and started to... He planned to get rid of the people around him, but in the end he still came to question him as if he had nothing to do with him.

Although Mu Qiu didn't say it clearly, it coincided with his guess. Why did assassins suddenly make trouble in the palace on that night, but they let it go with a lot of thunder and rain?The only explanation is that the assassin's target is not him at all, but the princess and the prince of the mansion.

Song Zichen suddenly understood how Mu Qiu made a mistake at that time.He couldn't tell himself clearly, but could only secretly mobilize all the power to protect the princess, which was exhausting already. He even vaguely remembered that there was a time when he even had to taste the meals that he and the princess used. Zha Di laughed that he was too cautious, and had no idea how much that person had done silently where he didn't know.

Mu Qiu's body was not very good under the poisonous erosion of drunken mortals. He could even think that Mu Qiu, who was poisoned that day, finally collapsed with a sigh of relief because the princess went through the delivery smoothly, but suddenly heard a shocking change. I was caught off guard at the time, but he still reprimanded him so ignorantly...

"why--"

As soon as Song Zichen asked, he swallowed it back.Why didn't you tell yourself earlier?I'm afraid he knows better than Mu Qiu who knows nothing about the future - if he was himself back then, after hearing Mu Qiu's words, he would only drive him away or even kill him in anger.Isn't that what you used to do?Even when that person had never really done anything against him, he was condemned and relegated without explanation, but he was never given even a chance to defend himself.

In his previous life, Mu Qiu didn't tell himself about this, but it wasn't necessarily because he didn't dare to say it, but because he couldn't say it—he didn't tell himself, and it wasn't necessarily because he wanted to protect himself, but because he was worried that once he got angry, he would uncontrollably explode. , even though he has great abilities, he is no longer able to protect himself.

From this point of view—he didn't even know who was the more hateful one, he or Song Zixuan.After all, the one who really harmed that person, caused that person to be poisoned and injured, and even lost his life in the end, was actually always him...

"Your Highness..."

The people around him called softly, with some uneasy worry and concern in their eyes.Song Zichen hurriedly shook his head at him, trying to lift the corners of his lips to ease his expression, but he still couldn't help but raised his hand and pulled him into his arms, hugging him tightly involuntarily: "From now on... no matter what you say, I will believe it You. Don't carry it alone, tell me, and we will share it together——will you?"

Mu Qiu was stunned for a moment, although his expression was still puzzled, he still frowned and smiled slightly, and nodded slightly: "Okay, no matter what happens in the future, I will definitely tell His Highness the truth."

"I know that Song Zixuan is staring at me—although I still don't understand why, but I don't trust him long ago, and I'm just making false claims with him, doing some stage work..."

Knowing these secrets, Song Zichen no longer kept Mu Qiu's thoughts from him, and sat down with that person seriously, and said all the things he had thought about these days: "So if there is anything, don't worry about it. You can tell me, I may not know what you know, and you may not understand all of what I know - let's figure things out together, so that we can deal with his secrets."

"Your Highness—you actually know?"

Mu Qiu whispered in surprise. He thought that His Highness was just wary of Song Zixuan at most, but he didn't expect Song Zichen's attitude to be so clear, and he couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It is indeed a great improvement to understand and grasp people's hearts..."

Song Zichen couldn't help but blushed slightly, he let go of the person in his arms after hesitating vaguely, and sat up straight again: "But——I still don't understand, there is no reason why his target is the princess, but what is he called? Taking such a big risk, want to start with an unborn child?"

"I've been thinking about this for the past few days, but I still don't have a clue. I can only speculate secretly—whether the Third Highness heard something when he was with the emperor..." Mu Qiu spoke in a low voice, thinking There is also a bit of speculation, "For example, the son of destiny, or the son of the emperor's grandson is blessed - His Highness is so relaxed in the court today, and this is more or less verified. The emperor's mood, I'm afraid most of them It's because of the emperor's grandson that he got better."

"Can you be so vicious because of something so mysterious and mysterious?" Song Zichen sneered and shook his head slightly, "I'm afraid that I have long been displeased with me, and I'm afraid that I have a little bit of a prestige, so I can't wait to come up and thoroughly Stamped to death... By the way, it stands to reason that when I go to war, my father will definitely hand over the errand of transporting food to him, you think--will he take the opportunity to do something wrong?"

"Your Highness can rest assured about this matter." Mu Qiu smiled lightly, and his tone was gentle and firm, "The emperor's most important thing is the love of family and brotherhood in the clan. The third highness is so good at trying to figure out the holy will, so it's not clear This point, so in this kind of occasion where countless people are watching, it will definitely be done perfectly. Even if the worst is predicted, if the Third Highness is really pressed for some reason, even the military rations will be slack on His Highness, which will delay the military plane , Your Highness can also take the opportunity to cry in front of the Emperor. The Emperor raised his son for His Highness, and he knew in his heart that His Highness, the princess, and the youngest son of the family went to the front line regardless of mourning. Originally, he had pity for His Highness, but it may not be a bad thing when it turns out."

When Mu Qiu was young, he patiently analyzed the pros and cons of everything for him. Song Zichen subconsciously straightened his body and nodded frequently. It took him a while to realize that as a person who had already lived once, he was not as good as Mu Qiu. After seeing it thoroughly, his face turned red, and he raised his hand to grab the man's wrist: "Mu Qiu, your way of understanding people's hearts is simply much better than mine... I will need you to teach me in the future."

"It's a good thing Your Highness wants to learn. You can't rush this kind of thing. You will improve after practicing a few times." Mu Qiu chuckled lightly, and patted the back of his hand twice as if comfortingly, " It's getting late, Your Highness should rest. The army will go out in three days, and there are still a lot of preparations—tomorrow morning, I'm afraid it will be busy."
