Mu Xianyi and Ling Xuetang entered the palace together, and pleaded guilty to both the emperor and the empress. Naturally, the emperor and the empress would not convict the two of them, and the emperor was a little furious—this happened during the porridge, it was indeed He despised the king's law and became lawless, so he ordered Li Jing, Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, to find out the truth and punish him severely.

After returning home from the palace, it was already evening, but the two couldn't wait to call in the guard who was in charge of examining the assassin's body.

The bodyguard is Ling Xuetang's personal bodyguard, who often follows him around. His name is Zhou Mian. He looks upright and taciturn.He quickly stepped into the house, bowed his hands towards the two of them, and said:

"Master, we have finished examining the six corpses."

"Did you find anything?" Ling Xuetang asked, while Mu Xianyi was holding the handkerchief with one hand, staring closely at his face.

"There is no other abnormality, but five of them have small totems on their bodies, which are the marks of the dead soldiers trained by the palace." Zhou Mian said, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and handed it to Ling Xuetang. Removed the totem on the assassin's body.

Ling Xuetang glanced at it, then handed the paper to Mu Xianyi.

Mu Xianyi took the paper, looked at it carefully, and frowned: "That's right, it's indeed the totems of dead soldiers trained by the royal family."

"In other words, people from the royal family want to kill you." Ling Xuetang concluded.

Mu Xianyi was not surprised by this conclusion, and looked up at him: "It's either Mu Jingyuan, or the Eldest Princess Mu Huihua."

"Huh? What kind of enmity did the Eldest Princess have with you?" Ling Xuetang had never heard of the matter between the Eldest Princess and Mu Xianyi, and she really didn't expect that Mu Huihua would be the culprit behind this matter.

Mu Xianyi said, "Do you still remember Jiang Hanwei?"

"Ah."

"I went to Xiangguo Temple that day and met him when I came out. He told me to be careful of the princess." Mu Xianyi said, his eyes fell on the window not far away. Bright, but the focus of his eyes is not here, but nothingness, "Mu Huihua is the queen's daughter. She admired Sheng Jin'an before she came out of the cabinet and wanted to marry him, but the queen intended to marry him to the Ministry of Industry. Xiao Yan, the eldest son of Shang Shu Xiao Xia, was able to win over the Xiao family because of this. I never had any hatred with her, but Sheng Jinan was arrested in the prison, maybe Mu Huihua vented all these grievances on me."

Ling Xuetang understood, and nodded: "So that's how it is...Sheng Jin'an has been sentenced to beheaded, and she will be executed in a few days. She wants revenge, which makes sense." She added, "If she fails this time, she must It’s been a while, and these days, you and I need to pay close attention to the dark situation in the capital.”

"I think we can start with Jiang Hanwei—" Mu Xianyi looked at him meaningfully.

Ling Xuetang was stunned for a moment, nodded knowingly, turned to Zhou Mian and said, "Zhou Mian, you and Suzaku go to Qinshui Princess Mansion to keep an eye on it, and report any abnormalities immediately!"

"Yes!" Zhou Mian nodded, and was about to turn around and go out when Mu Xianyi stopped him:

"and many more."

When Zhou Mian turned around, Mu Xianyi smiled and said:

"I took in a little 'guard' today, and I need to trouble you to find time to train him." After speaking, he said to Ling Xuetang, "It's the child you saved today. It's very interesting."

"Really?" Ling Xuetang raised her eyebrows, and said again, "If you are willing to accept him as a bodyguard, you can, Zhou Mian, I will leave this matter to you, and you must train him well."

"Yes!" Zhou Mian seriously bowed his head in agreement, and then withdrew respectfully.

The room suddenly fell into silence, and a few candles illuminated the room brightly. The shadows cast by the candles fell on the desk and the ground, shaking slightly, and there was the sound of burning charcoal in the charcoal basin, but it seemed The house was quieter.

Ling Xuetang got up, walked to Mu Xianyi and sat down next to him, her voice became a little gentler: "Did you get scared during the day today?"

Mu Xianyi looked up at him, smiled and shook his head: "With you here, I'm not afraid."

He deeply remembered Ling Xuetang's big strong hand around his waist and that warm and reliable embrace at that time. To be honest, he was not worried that he would die at all, and he didn't even feel that death was a terrible thing. Maybe being with your true love will indeed have the courage not to fear death.

After hearing his answer, Ling Xuetang also smiled: "You are not afraid, after all, you asked me to save others."

Mu Xianyi chuckled.

After all, he was already safe at that time, but Bai Yu was in danger!

He turned around and buried his face in Ling Xuetang's arms: "Didn't the son-in-law also go to rescue him? The son-in-law is also a selfless 'true general'!"

When Ling Xuetang heard this, she held him in her arms, pinched his face with her hands, and her smile became even more doting.

……

In a mountain villa in the suburbs.

"Jian'an, Jin'an, I have something interesting to tell you!" Princess Qinshui, dressed in a bright red palace attire, walked in quickly from outside the room.

In the room, the man was sitting in front of the window, with a crow blue brocade robe draped over his back, his long hair scattered on his shoulders, and he was wiping his dagger against the candle flame. The already shiny dagger, the dagger reflected a bright snow light, which fell obliquely on his face, revealing a finger-length scar on his face.

"Jian'an, you will definitely be interested in this matter!" Mu Huihua walked in front of him, her beautiful face was full of excitement, and she spoke quickly, "Do you know? Porridge, but was assassinated by an assassin!"

Sheng Jin'an frowned suddenly when he heard the words, and looked up at her suddenly: "Are you dead?"

"Um, not really... It's a pity that those assassins are too weak to kill her!" Mu Huihua was not without regret, with a pair of phoenix eyes showing coldness, "Why, are you unhappy?"

"Oh." Sheng Jin'an sneered, looked at his own dagger, stretched his thumb and index finger on the dagger and flicked it, and the dagger made a clear "ding" sound, "How could she die in someone else's hands? I want to catch her with my own hands, torture her, and make her life worse than death!"

When Mu Huihua heard the words, she also raised her red lips, sat down on the couch beside him, picked up the teacup and drank tea slowly, after drinking, said: "I just don't know, who is like us, who wants Mu Xian Should that bitch die? If we found out, wouldn’t it be more helpful for us to join forces with that person?” Thinking of something, he looked at Sheng Jin’an and asked, “Could it be Mu Jingyuan? The death of his sister Mu Yinqi He has always suspected that Mu Xianyi did it..."

"It can't be him." Sheng Jin'an smiled, his brows darkened, "He's an idiot, there won't be such a dead man, and he won't be so carefully arranged."

Mu Huihua thought for a while and said, "Who could it be?"

"It has nothing to do with me." Sheng Jin'an said, sheathing the dagger, with bloodthirsty murderous intent and endless hatred in his eyes, "Is it going to be Laba soon? I have a big gift for Mu Xianyi ……snort."
