The queen loves me alone

Shangguan was looking at a blueprint, when he heard this, he raised his head and smiled: "Princess."

"Your Excellency has worked hard, and you are injured. County Magistrate Liu is watching over here. Your Excellency, go and rest."

Shangguan's eyes sparkled and he saw people smiling: "I'm not tired, seeing the princess is here, all injuries will be healed."

Mu Jin's heart skipped a beat.

The male god...why does it seem...that he is teasing himself?

Before she had time to think about it, a young man suddenly squeezed over, "My lord, General Lu is looking for you."

Mu Jin's attention was drawn back.

The other party was tall, dark, and muscular, with bright black eyes, but it was his facial features that she couldn't ignore the most.

She suddenly thought of Jing Wei, this young man was similar in appearance to Jing Wei, with three-dimensional facial features, a high nose bridge, and mixed-race features.It should also be the mixed blood of Mo Xiong and Han people.

When the Shangguan heard this, he said to Mu Jin: "The princess is sorry."

Mu Jin said: "Your Excellency, go and do your work."

Mu Jin walked back into the shed again, while Jing Wei said at the side: "The princess just stared at it for a long time."

Um?Shangguan?Mu Jin felt a little guilty: "It's...not long."

Jing Wei said: "Do you think you look a bit like me?"

Oh, so she was talking about the dark-skinned young man under General Lu's command.

Jing Wei said: "I don't know what Mr. Lu thinks, he actually recruited such a person."

Mu Jin saw that his expression was a little downcast, and he didn't know whether he was disgusting others or himself.On weekdays, I see Jing Wei being careless, but it is rare to see him like this.Mu Jin wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he didn't know where to start.

However, before she could say anything, she suddenly found out that His Majesty had disappeared.

She had just been thinking about something in her heart, but she realized that she suddenly exclaimed, "Where's Your Majesty?!"

Jing Wei said: "Your Majesty said you were tired just now, and went back to rest in the carriage. Let me stay and protect you."

Mu Jin was a little relieved.But not far away, someone beside the stone statue shouted loudly: "Something has been dug!"

A small heavy bronze figurine was handed over to Shangguan.I don't know what is engraved on it, and the part of the words on the back has a translucent seal like wax oil.

Mu Jin approached and said, "What is this?"

Shangguan frowned with a solemn expression: "I don't know, I found it in the stomach of the mother and child statue."

Mu Jin's eyelids twitched, and he thought: In the abdomen?Does that imply His Majesty?

This little bronze man had a sinister smile, the corners of his mouth extended to his ears, and the most terrible thing was that there was a big X carved on his forehead. Mu Jin always felt uncomfortable.

County government.

County magistrate Liu was sweating on his forehead and stared tremblingly at Jing Wei slowly scraping the wax on the back of the bronze statue with a dagger.

Those who didn't know thought that her dagger was scratched on the back of County Magistrate Liu.

Jing Wei scraped off the wax a few times, then wiped it with a soft cloth and blew it.He glanced at it, and then raised his eyebrows upside down.

County Magistrate Liu clutched his chest, as if he was about to die at any moment.

Jing Wei handed the bronze figure to Zhu Yan who was sitting beside her.Zhu Yan glanced at it, and her gaze was fixed.

Mu Jinkow was anxious, and he walked closer to have a look, and there were a few words on the back of the bronze statue: "At the end of the eighth day of the fourth lunar month in the year of Gengshen. Then there was a word death circled in red paint engraved on the end."

Mu Jin was startled, and said hoarsely, "Your Majesty...is this..."

Zhu Yanping retreated a group of people, leaving only Jing Wei, Mu Jin and Shangguan Chengzheng.

Holding the bronze figurine in her hand, Zhu Yan sighed, "It is indeed my birthday."

Jing Wei suddenly yelled angrily: "It's unreasonable! This is clearly... This is clearly..." Isn't this a curse? !

Mu Jin said: "Master Shangguan, is this bronze figure originally hidden in the statue?"

Jing Weiyi was stunned: "Didn't you say it came out of the statue? If it wasn't hidden in the statue, where else could it be hidden?"

The Shangguan clearly understood what Mu Jin meant, and after deliberating for a moment, said: "This bronze statue is hidden in the abdomen of the mother and child statue, and there is a hollow space inside. But when the craftsmen dug it open, they found that the color of the stone in the belly of the mother and child statue was as good as the surrounding area. Some nuances, a little lighter color."

Shangguan pondered for a moment and said: "That is to say, the bronze figurine of the mother and child statue was probably put in during the second repair process."

Zhu Yan nodded and said: "Although I was young at that time, I don't have much memory, but when my mother supervised the construction, outsiders should not be able to touch it."

A feeling of horror rose in Mu Jin's heart.Who would know that the statue of mother and child is carved with His Majesty Xian and Zhu Yan, and who would know Zhu Yan's birthday?It is definitely not these rural villagers who can know these two pieces of information at the same time!Those who have such vicious thoughts must be people close to His Majesty!

No wonder these people refused to push this stone statue.They may not know why, but the mastermind behind their instigation not to overturn the stone statue must have something to do with it.

Mu Jin suddenly had an idea, and blurted out: "The wizard of Ami Mountain Village!"

Jing Wei also came to his senses, raised his sword and said, "Your Majesty, I'll go and get him back right away!"

Zhu Yan sat on the side, a little disturbed.She didn't really believe that these curse techniques could do anything to her. She had grown up peacefully for so many years, and her body was fine.

The problem is, there is someone very close to her who is trying to harm her.This made her teeth shudder more than the incident itself.

Zhu Yan said: "I'm afraid we won't be able to get anyone. The construction here has been started for three days. If the other party has ghosts in their hearts, they must have escaped long ago."

Jing Wei just didn't believe in this evil, "Then I have to look for it, find this person and torture him!"

After going back and forth for an hour, Jing Wei did not catch anyone.A thatched cottage is empty.Jing Wei was a little frustrated.

The Shangguan thought for a moment and said: "This stone statue hides something so blasphemous to His Majesty, the person who put it in must not want others to find out. In order to ensure that the stone statue will last for a long time without accidental damage, he will probably pretend to be the will of the gods. Spread rumors that once this stone statue is destroyed, it will bring disaster. Just like the villagers tried their best to obstruct it at the beginning."

Mu Jin said: "Your Excellency is right. The wizard may really know nothing, but he was entrusted to live in the local area to prevent the people from destroying the stone statue."

Mu Jin's head was a little big, and he said: "If there may be no clues to catch the wizard, it is always possible to check the craftsmen who participated in the repair."

Shangguan said: "This method is feasible, but these craftsmen may be dead, or they may have run away and lived in seclusion. I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to find them."

The work of pushing stone statues to dig the river did not stop and continued, and Shangguan was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.Naturally, Wuxia was distracted to check on Tongren's affairs.

When Mu Jin thought that there was such a vicious person among the people close to Zhu Yan, he couldn't sleep well.

If she can't sleep well, she will go check it out.Walking around the streets with Jing Wei, I read many local county annals.Magistrate Liu felt that half of his head was about to fall off, and he was worried all day long, following the two of them around.

Mu Jin was a little worried about what happened to the mother-son statue, so he sent someone back to Mount Ami.

As expected, the artisans who participated in the restoration of the mother and child statues were either dead or missing.The opponent is indeed tight-knit.However, the recovery of Skynet still allowed them to find some clues.

Alley mouth.

An old lady sat on a small horse, and several hand-woven bamboo baskets were placed in front of the simple stall.

Mu Jin knelt down and said, "Old man, do you really remember?"

The old grandma's teeth were about to come off clean, and her speech was a bit leaky, she pursed her mouth and said, "I remember, I lived in the village at the foot of Mount Ami back then."

It turned out that the old lady lived at the foot of Mount Ami with her son and daughter.One day, the son and daughter went hunting.But he never returned.Two days later, the villagers from the same village brought back the bodies of their son and daughter who had been bitten off half of their bodies by wild animals.

The old lady was greatly stimulated and fell ill, and almost went with her children.

After she became ill, she was alone and helpless, unable to survive in the mountains, so thinking that she still had basket weaving skills, she wanted to go to the county town to make a living.

At that time, just in time for the restoration of the mother and child statues, the old lady went to the city with the people in the carriage of this group of craftsmen.

Among the craftsmen accompanying her was a young man named Cao Mu. Seeing that she was old and lonely, he took good care of her.

Later, when the old lady arrived in the county, Cao Mu helped the old lady buy a home again.Bring something to visit during the holidays.After coming and going, the old lady was grateful in her heart, and already regarded him as half of her relatives.

But one day, the old lady found out that Cao Mu hadn't been here for a long time.Asked around, but no one knew where he went.

The old lady was worried and frightened, so she posted notices everywhere to find her son.After searching for a long time, there was no movement, so I gradually became discouraged.

Unexpectedly, last year, she suddenly received a letter and a pack of medicinal materials.The letter said that he was doing well, and that he and his wife were running a shop in other places, and they were very busy, so they couldn't go back.Let her stop thinking about him and take care of herself.

The old lady raised her cloudy eyes and said with tears in her eyes: "I miss Amu so much. This child was an orphan since he was a child, without father or mother, and he is very dear to me. I have regarded him as my own dear." Son, if I could still take a look at him before I die, I would be willing. If the adults can find him, let him come back and take a look at me."

Jing Wei scratched her head, "I always think the name Cao Mu sounds familiar."

After thinking for a while, he suddenly shouted, "Oh, yes! Yupi Town! I have the bottom recipe, I have the bottom prescription, old man, do you still have the letter?"

The old lady said: "It's still there, adults follow me to the house."

Mu Jin and Jing Wei took the letter and went back to the yamen to compare with the prescription prescribed in Yubei Town that day.The writing on both sides is exactly the same.

It was indeed written by one person.

Several people discussed going to Yupi Town to find someone, and Zhu Yan originally planned to accompany them, but Mu Jin was worried about His Majesty's affairs in Ami, and if the person who cast the curse knew that he might take further actions, the road was especially unsafe.So Zhu Yan finally stayed in the Yamen.

Mu Jin and Jing Wei went.

Jihetang is no different from last time, but the two don't seem to have much quarrel today.

Jing Wei walked into the lobby of the pharmacy and said, "Miss Boss, do you still recognize me?"

The proprietress took a look and said: "I recognize it. The official who is treating dizziness, the guest officer is here to buy medicine again?"

Mu Jin glanced at him, and said with a smile: "I have taken it and the effect is good. I have been doing some small business all over the country, and I fell in love with these medicinal materials from your house. I wonder if you can transfer some of them back to me. The price is negotiable."

The proprietress smiled happily: "Yes, yes, the guest officer has really good eyesight. I personally pick all the medicinal materials in my store. The guest officer wants to have a lot in the back warehouse."

The proprietress greeted the waiter beside her and said, "A Yuan, look after the shop."

"Oh. Good!" The drug boy at the side agreed.

The proprietress said: "The two guest officials are talking in the backyard."

The two followed the people through the hall and walked to the backyard.As soon as I entered the yard, I saw the husband of the proprietress.

Jing Wei played tricks on Mu Jin.Mu Jin understood.

The proprietress said from the side: "The guest officer is talking in the room, and the medicinal materials are all in the room." The two followed others to a wing room, which is a medicinal material warehouse.There are many medicinal materials neatly stacked.As soon as it came in, there was a strong smell of Chinese medicine.

The old bridesmaid greeted her father-in-law standing in the yard and said, "What are you doing standing in the yard stupidly? If you don't come in, here comes the big buyer!"

The man looked timid, maybe he was timid by nature, so he walked in timidly.

Seeing people coming in, Jing Wei quietly moved to the door and closed it.The light in the room suddenly dimmed a lot.

Seeing that the room was dark, the proprietress was afraid that her medicinal materials might not look good, so she instinctively wanted to open the window.

Before she could open it, Jing Wei cut the man's hand behind her back, and knelt on the ground.

The man suddenly exhaled in pain: "It hurts..."

The proprietress was shocked, "Guest officer, what does this mean? Why did you hurt my husband?!"

Mu Jin said: "Madam is too late, we just ask a few things."

Mu Jin walked up to the man and said, "Your name is Cao Mu?" The man suddenly looked at Mu Jin in horror, struggling to get up.

Jing Wei is pressing down on the person firmly.It is almost necessary to cut back the opponent's arm until it is deformed.The man was in pain and gave up struggling.

The proprietress was anxious, and said sharply: "You don't want to buy medicine at all! I'm going to report to the police!" She said and was about to go out.

However, when he pushed the door, the door would not open.

After several people entered the room, the accompanying guards brought by the two of them had already stood guard at the door, sealing the room tightly.

The proprietress knew that she was in trouble, and suddenly she sat on the ground and began to wail loudly: "Oh... this is really fatal. We ordinary people open the door and do business according to our duties. How did you offend everyone? Officer, you actually... actually wanted to kill my husband..." He cried out loudly.

Mu Jin was a little upset when he saw it, and said coldly: "If we want to kill you two, you have no chance to speak now."

When the proprietress heard it, she immediately stopped talking.Wiping his tears, he crawled and knelt down in front of the man: "My lord...the villain really doesn't know where I offended all the officials, my lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me!"

Mu Jin really wanted to find a piece of cloth to stuff the woman's mouth, and said impatiently, "Shut up, I'm asking your husband now, answer truthfully, and promise not to kill me."

The proprietress gave him a wink: "You...you answer the official's words honestly, do you hear me?"

The man trembled, and hummed vaguely.

Mu Jin said: "Cao Mu, I won't talk nonsense with you, do you know Mrs. Zhou from Ami Town?"

The man shook his head first, and was suffocated by Jing Weiyi's throat lock, so he coughed twice: "I know, I know."

Mu Jin smiled slightly: "Okay, that's right, you are the person we are looking for. You should know why I am looking for you. You participated in the restoration of the mother and child portrait back then, right?"

As soon as Cao Mu heard the words mother and child, he struggled violently again and shook his head again and again: "No, no, the villain doesn't know anything, please forgive me, the villain really doesn't know anything!"

Mu Jin laughed lightly, with such a big reaction, there really is no silver 300 taels here.

Jing Wei smiled evilly, and snorted: "If you don't tell me, I'll take you back to Ami. There may be more people expecting you to die. Maybe you won't be able to survive once you enter the city. Are you choosing now?" Cooperate with us to save your life, or choose to go back to Miami and be killed by those people?"

Jing Wei took out Bai Linlin's long sword, pressed it against the man's neck, and gently wiped the man's neck twice, leaving two shallow bloodstains.

Cao Mu rolled his eyes, his forehead was already sweating from tension.But still can't speak.

The proprietress watched impatiently from the sidelines, and suddenly let out a long cry; "It's time for someone who has suffered a thousand knives, do you want to die or something? Just say what you know!"

Cao Mu's face suddenly changed, his face was distorted, and he actually cried out.

Mu Jin said: "Tell me, who was in charge back then, and I will keep you safe after telling me."

Cao Mu cried extremely wronged, looked up at Mu Jin and said, "I knew Ami was going to be in chaos. A few days ago, I heard that I was going to push mother and child like me, but I was still found by you."

Mu Jin also remembered what Jing Wei said a few days ago that he was going to the south.

Cao Mu said: "Who else? Ami's parent officer, Liu Ya!"

Mu Jin was taken aback, and his heart was scorched. He grabbed the man's collar and asked sharply, "You mean Liu Ya? Liu Ya, magistrate of Ami County?!"

Cao Mu's tone was serious, and he complained a bit: "It's Liu Ya! He presided over the renovation back then, and my lord must have known that all the craftsmen were dead. I'm timid by nature, and I'm more sensitive to these things. I was so frightened that my wife happened to have an ancestral pharmacy here. I didn’t want anything at night, so I fled to my wife’s place alone.”

Mu Jin suddenly let go of his hand, his whole hand was shaking, his eyes looked at Jing Wei in horror, and tremblingly said: "Then Your Majesty now..."
