Start practicing from marrying the disfigured princess

"?"

Jiang Chuyue said doubtfully: "They didn't move."

Ren Pingsheng grabbed Mu Rou's slender little hand, looked at Jiang Chuyue, and pretended that nothing happened. He said in a calm tone: "Put your clothes on the chair. Take them and go back to rest."

Seeing that he had a cold attitude towards her, Jiang Chuyue pouted aggrievedly and said pitifully: "Did you do something wrong today? The prince clearly promised to forgive me last night, so why did you treat me like this?"

Mu Rou murmured in her heart: "This sentence sounds familiar."

Seeing her like this, Ren Pingsheng looked helpless, slowed down his tone and said, "You didn't do anything wrong, it's just that I am a little tired from investigating the case today and want to rest early."

tired?

Jiang Chuyue's eyes brightened slightly when she heard what he said, and she said, "I can give the prince a massage."

It’s not over yet…

Ren Pingsheng just wanted her to leave as soon as possible. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and said in a gentle tone: "You spent the whole day at the beach today. You still have things to do tomorrow, so it's better to rest early."

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about me, I'm not tired."

The words fell.

Before Ren Pingsheng could react, Jiang Chuyue came up to Ren Pingsheng, pressed Ren Pingsheng's calf muscles, and started massaging them gently.

Don't say it.

It's really like that.

"Your Majesty, please relax..."

Jiang Chuyue raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "I learned this in the palace before. The female officer said that even an extraordinary warrior can feel much more relaxed after being massaged like this."

Inside.

Mu Rou, who was drunk, became interested after hearing Jiang Chuyue's words. She stretched out her other hand and gently pressed Ren Pingsheng's calf.

"The two of them have agreed today to torment me together?"

Ren Pingsheng's eyelids twitched, he suppressed the throbbing in his heart, looked at Jiang Chuyue, and said, "You don't have to be like this."

Jiang Chuyue opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

Before he could speak, he suddenly heard a soft cry from inside.

"This is……"

She was startled slightly and subconsciously looked up.

Then he saw a familiar face.

Then, I smelled the scent of plum wine again.

"Miss Mu... why is she here?"

Jiang Chuyue stared blankly at Mu Rou, who had her eyes closed and seemed to be asleep, with surprise and confusion written on her face.

aside.

When Ren Pingsheng saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat and he could only explain: "Miss Mu went to the wrong room."

Wrong room.

Shouldn't she be sent back?

Why stay here.

Does the prince think that he is a fool?

Jiang Chuyue cursed in her heart, but said nothing. She just looked at Ren Pingsheng without blinking and said nothing.

inside the house.

The atmosphere became increasingly silent.

After a while.

Ren Pingsheng finally compromised: "Tell me, what do you want?"

Jiang Chuyue pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why did the prince say this?"

Ren Pingsheng said: "I will do my best to promise you something."

Jiang Chuyue held out three fingers: "Three pieces!"

Ren Pingsheng hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Deal."

After reaching a tacit understanding.

Jiang Chuyue stood up, looked at Mu Rou who was already asleep, and then at Ren Pingsheng, shook her head gently, and said: "I really didn't expect that the senior sister is next door, and the prince actually..."

Having said this, he sighed and shook his head slightly.

Ren Pingsheng glanced at her sideways and wanted to retort.

After a second thought, I felt it was unnecessary and just said: "What I just said is the truth. It's up to you to believe it or not."

actually.

He doesn't explain.

Jiang Chuyue could also tell from various details that the relationship between the two was innocent... at least so far.

otherwise.

It is impossible for her to accept Ren Shengsheng's "hush money" so easily.

As for what will happen in the future.

I can remind senior sister at the right time.

If the senior sister didn't care, then there was no need to say anything else.

I thought about it for a while.

She raised her eyes to look at Ren Pingsheng, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want someone to help send Miss Mu back?"

When these words came out of her mouth, it always felt a little strange, and seemed to have some ironic meaning.

Ren Pingsheng glanced at her and saw that she was serious and not joking.

He waved his hand and refused: "No need."

Jiang Chuyue asked curiously: "The prince plans to send Miss Mu back in person?"

Ren Pingsheng glanced at Mu Rou, who was already sleeping deeply. After thinking for a few seconds, he said, "Let her rest here first, and then talk about it after she wakes up."

When Jiang Chuyue heard this, her expression became a little strange and asked, "Isn't the prince afraid of being discovered by senior sister?"

Ren Pingsheng said: "Don't be afraid."

Jiang Chuyue suddenly became interested and asked curiously: "Why?"

Ren Pingsheng said lukewarmly: "Because if Chang An finds out, the three things I promised you will be void."

"..."

Jiang Chuyue was startled for a moment, then quickly reacted and said seriously: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I guarantee that Senior Sister will not find out!"

Ren Pingsheng said no more and waved his hand: "It's getting late, go back and rest."

"Um!"

Jiang Chuyue nodded heavily, picked up the clothes she left behind, turned and left the room.

All of a sudden.

Ren Pingsheng and Mu Rou were the only two people left in the room.

A ray of soft moonlight shines into the room through the crack in the window, leaving mottled black shadows.

The dim candlelight flickered slightly.

The atmosphere is serene and peaceful.

Ren Pingsheng looked at Mu Rou, who was lying obediently and motionless on the inside of the bed, and suddenly thought of her little actions just now.

He pinched her fair cheek gently.

Mu Rou seemed to feel something in her sleep. Her nose wrinkled slightly and she made a coquettish nasal sound.

Then, he turned sideways, leaving only Ren Pingsheng's back.

"It looks like he really fell asleep."

Ren Pingsheng looked at the well-behaved little Celestial Master, thought for a few seconds, and sat on a chair nearby.

The long nights are a good time to practice hard.

With this thought in mind, he began to mobilize the spiritual energy in his body and run the "Immortality Skill".

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the next day.

In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight shines into the house, turning the entire room golden.

"Well……"

On the bed.

Mu Rou let out a cry and slowly opened her eyes.

Before he could see the scene in front of him clearly, he felt a vague headache.

After holding on to my forehead for a while, I felt some relief.

Looking around, I suddenly found that the furnishings in the room seemed a little different from what I remembered.

"Where is this?"

Mu Rou looked at everything in the room, her clear eyes full of confusion and confusion.

After half a stick of incense.

She just suddenly reacted.

He came to Master Ren's room by himself.

Just for a moment.

The memories of last night flooded into my mind like a tide.

Qiuer persuaded her with sincerity.

I borrowed wine to strengthen my courage...

And later, he came to Mr. Ren's room and mustered up the courage to tell his previous life experiences...and so on.

The last memory is when Miss Chuyue came into the house.

Feeling interesting, he gently touched Young Master Ren's waist.

"Well...how could I do such a thing."

Think back to those things.

Mu Rou reached out to cover her face, feeling hot on both sides of her cheeks, and her eyes were filled with mist.

His heart was beating violently, and even his breathing became much faster.

I do not know how long it has been.

Only then did she calm down.

Because she thought of something more important.

Last night, what happened after I fell asleep.

"Given Mr. Ren's character, he shouldn't take advantage of others' danger..."

Mu Rou thought so and lifted the quilt.

He was neatly dressed, just like when he came here last night.

Saw this scene.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he got up, straightened his clothes, came to the door, and listened.

After confirming that no one is outside the house.

She gently pushed the door open, looked left and then again. Seeing that no one was passing by, she walked out quickly and quickly closed the door.

After taking a deep breath to calm down, he walked down to the second floor.

In the lobby.

Ren Pingsheng, Chang An, Jiang Chuyue and Qiu'er were all sitting at the table, eating breakfast quietly.

It looked no different from the previous days.

But in fact.

Except Chang An.

The other three people all used their peripheral vision to pay attention to the movement of the stairs.

Of course, everyone has a different mindset.

I saw Mu Rou coming down from the second floor.

Ren Pingsheng behaved quite calmly.

Jiang Chuyue was equally calm on the surface, but in fact she was silently relieved.

From just now to now.

She had been thinking about how she would respond if her senior sister happened to catch Miss Mu coming out of the prince's room when she went upstairs.

Now that she sees Mu Rou, she finally doesn't have to worry about this problem anymore.

When Qiu'er saw Mu Rou, her eyes lit up and the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile.

last night.

It was under her instigation.

Only then would Mu Rou muster up the courage to make a decision.

She thought.

The best result is that the prince also has a good impression of the young lady.

The two fell in love with each other, and after returning to the capital, their relationship gradually warmed up, and then they practiced the "Yin Yang Liang Yi Heart Sutra", which was just a matter of smooth sailing.

But I didn't expect it.

I waited until dawn, but still couldn't wait for the lady to come back.

Originally, she was worried that the young lady would be rejected by the prince, but she couldn't accept it for a while and left the inn.

Now, seeing the young lady appear on the second floor, this worry is naturally relieved.

the other side.

Mu Rou came to the table and sat down. She silently picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and took a bite.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Qiu'er winking at him.

She felt guilty for a moment and lowered her head in a hurry, not looking at anyone.

At the table, all five people ate quietly without saying a word.

The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.

The atmosphere seemed to rub off on others.

soon.

The guards who were eating at the nearby table also fell silent.

for a while.

The only sound that could be heard throughout the lobby was the sound of chewing food.

I do not know how long it has been.

The voice of the innkeeper broke the awkward atmosphere.

"Sir, please find another inn to rest in as we are doing some proofing here these days."

The words fell.

Including Ren Pingsheng, everyone looked up at the door.

There.

A man with a slightly weathered face stood straight on the spot.

A medium-sized coffin lay across the back.

It looks extremely weird.

"I'm looking for him..."

A hoarse, low voice sounded.

The vicissitudes of life man carrying the coffin pointed at Ren Pingsheng.

The innkeeper was slightly startled, and subconsciously looked at Ren Pingsheng. When he saw Ren Pingsheng nod, he realized that the two knew each other, apologized, and left quickly.

Ren Pingsheng and Murong looked at each other, and walked up to the second floor in tacit understanding.

Back to the room.

Ren Pingsheng asked, "Is there a problem with the Tongzhi of Chanzhou?"

Murong nodded slightly, and his voice was low: "After you left Chanzhou City yesterday, three people met him one after another. Two of them came from outside the city. They were very vigilant. I couldn't get too close.

The other one was a soldier from the Chanzhou Guard. After meeting the Tongzhi of Chanzhou, he quickly left Chanzhou City."

Ren Pingsheng asked again: "Did you hear what they said?"

Murong shook his head, indicating that he didn't hear it.

Ren Pingsheng subconsciously glanced at the coffin he was carrying behind him.

Thinking.

Carrying such a coffin, it is not easy to find out these news without being discovered.

This is the thought.

He nodded slightly and said sincerely: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

After a pause, he said: "There is another thing for you to do... Control the Tongzhi of Chanzhou, don't let him meet anyone, and don't let him leave the hall of the government office."

The reason for this.

Because all signs show that the Tongzhi of Chanzhou is not as honest and conscientious as he looks.

It will never go wrong to control him first and then slowly investigate.

As for alerting the enemy...

Originally, I was worried about alerting the enemy because I was afraid that the Tongzhi of Chanzhou would be on guard against me and destroy the evidence.

Now, the Tongzhi of Chanzhou has become my suspect.

There is no point in talking about alerting the enemy.

Of course.

There is indeed a disadvantage to controlling the Tongzhi of Chanzhou so early.

That is, it may alert the people behind him.

But in Ren Pingsheng's view.

If the Tongzhi of Chanzhou is an insignificant character and can be easily abandoned by the people behind the scenes.

Then no matter how you investigate, you will not find anything.

If the person of Chanzhou Tongzhi is extremely important.

Then the person behind the scenes must be in a panic, and he might be exposed.

In short.

Ren Pingsheng doesn't want to waste too much time on this case.

Before there is a suspect, you must act carefully.

After there is a suspect, you can let go and do things.

On the other side.

Murong just wants to complete the task assigned by Ren Pingsheng.

Hearing "control Chanzhou Tongzhi", he didn't say much, just responded, and turned away.

Ren Pingsheng stood there, watching his back gradually go away, and silently said in his heart: "I hope everything goes well."

…………

At the same time.

Chanzhou Yamen.

Chanzhou Tongzhi sat on the armchair, looking haggard.

On the side.

A young man in a long gown who looked gentle and refined whispered, "One hundred thousand taels of silver were delivered to your residence a month and a half ago. I wonder when you can fulfill your promise and prepare the things that the priest needs."

The Tongzhi of Chanzhou frowned and looked at the young man, suppressing his anger and said, "You killed people without my permission, which led to the imperial envoy sent by the court.

Now the imperial envoy sent by the court has not left yet, and he urged me to prepare things. Do you really think that the imperial envoy is a playboy who only knows how to travel around?!

Even if you don't take me seriously, you shouldn't despise the court so much!

I'm telling you today, if something happens to me, from now on, you will never get any goods from the territory of Da Zhou again!"
