The two returned to the palace with their front feet, and the guards sent from the palace at the back completely surrounded the entire palace, and the old general Qin asked for orders in person to come and arrest Mu Yunjin.
After arriving outside the mansion, the gate of Prince Ning's mansion was closed tightly at this time, and there was no one guarding the door. Old General Qin stepped up the steps. After walking a few steps, he was suddenly bounced by a barrier, and took a few steps back.
"This kid Chu Li actually set up a formation." Old General Qin's eyebrows darkened, and he turned to look at a guard beside him, "Enter the palace, please come together to arrest Mu Yunjin and Chu Li's orders. "
"Yes!" After receiving the instruction, the imperial guards ran towards the palace.
…
After returning home, Mu Yunjin simply took a hot bath, and then fell into a deep sleep.
Chu Li tucked the quilt for her, stood by the bed and looked at her sleeping face for a while, then walked out the door and walked to his study.
In the study, Huang Yan waited for a long time.
"Young Master, everything has been settled. The hundreds of thousands of troops owned by Qin Feng, an old thief, have been divided into three factions. The morale of the army has been scattered, and they have all been disintegrated one by one." Huang Yan looked at Chu Li with a smile.
Seeing that Chu Li's face was dull, Huang Yan added, "The leaders of the three factions have accepted all the benefits we have given, and are willing to serve you for the rest of their lives."
"So, now, son, you are the one with military power."
"Qin Feng, that old thief, doesn't know yet."
Ding Xian took a look at Huang Yan, seeing that Huang Yan had already settled everything, he was naturally not to be outdone, "Your Highness, City Lord Qu is seeking to see you outside."
"Let her in."
Ding Xian nodded and ran out the door.
After a while, Qu Xinyao's usual gorgeous figure appeared in Chu Li's study room, and as soon as she entered, she smiled and lamented, "Your house is surrounded inside and out, it really took me a while to get in." A lot of effort."
"Sit." Chu Li said politely.
Qu Xinyao sat down, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "You really figured out what happened today, but I have listened to you and set fire to Qiuye Mountain. I guess that old dog Qiuye will be gone soon." I can't bear to show up."
"Thank you." Chu Li said slightly.
"It's hard work, but the matter of Concubine Ning's phoenix daughter has been revealed in front of everyone, Emperor Ximing will not let this matter go." Qu Xinyao poured herself a glass of water and took a few sips.
When Chu Li heard this, he didn't take it seriously, "Follow them."
"Huh?" Qu Xinyao caught another layer of meaning from his words, "You mean, you are planning to leave Emperor Ximing?"
Chu Li is a good friend she has known for many years. She can somewhat understand his temperament and temperament. Chu Li has always hidden himself very deeply, so that others cannot pry into his true heart.
She seems indifferent and doesn't fight or grab, but there is a huge vortex hidden in her heart, which can swallow people up at any time.
Today, when the Mu family fell and Mu Yunjin committed murder in the palace, the rest of the Three Kingdoms saw it. Emperor Ximing lost all face. If he wanted to gain a foothold in the Canghua Continent, he would never let Mu Yunjin go. of.
"City Master Qu, our son has never really integrated in, how can we leave?" Huang Yan joked aside.
Qu Xinyao was taken aback for a moment, then she blinked at Huang Yan knowingly, and raised the teacup in her hand, "If you understand, replace wine with tea!"
…
The next day, when Mu Yunjin woke up, she always felt that she had had a long, long dream, which made her feel powerless, but when she opened her eyes, her head was in a mess, and she couldn't remember the content of the dream .
"Are you awake?" Chu Li's voice came from the room. When Mu Yunjin looked sideways, Chu Li was sitting on the rocking chair in the room, staring at Mu Yunjin.
"Yeah." Mu Yunjin nodded, lowered her eyes slightly, and then seemed to remember something, "How is the Mu family now?"
"Mu Yunhan took over the affairs behind Mu Xiang." Chu Li said calmly.
When Mu Yunjin heard this, she pursed her lips, "Is the Mu family not implicated?"
"No." Chu Li shook his head, sat up, approached Mu Yunjin, reached out and stroked her cheek, "Are you hungry?"
"It's okay." Mu Yunjin didn't have much appetite at the moment.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Ding Xian's voice sounded outside, "Your Highness..."
"You continue to sleep for a while." Chu Li glanced at Mu Yunjin and walked out.
After leaving the door, Ding Xian frowned and said, "Eunuch Lu took the imperial decree outside the residence."
"En." Chu Li responded, and walked towards the gate of the mansion.
…
Outside the gate of King Ning's Mansion, not only was it surrounded by the imperial guards in the palace, but there were also many people standing there watching.
Early this morning, they heard about Mu Xiang's suicide last night, and there were a lot of rumors, all kinds of rumors. At this time, seeing that Chu Li's palace was surrounded by people, they all rushed to watch the fun.
The gate of the palace was slowly opened at this time.
Eunuch Lu took the imperial decree and finally saw Chu Li's figure. He wanted to take a step forward, but he was still bounced away by the barrier. He had to give Chu Li a strange look. What kind of strange skill is he practicing? .
"Decree." Chu Li pursed his lips into a line, and looked at Eunuch Lu with sullen eyes.
Eunuch Lu was startled by the cold tone, and then took out an imperial decree from his pocket. In fact, he brought two imperial decrees today, but according to the holy will, read the first one first.
If the first letter doesn't work, read the second letter.
"By God's blessing, the emperor ordered that Concubine Ning Mu Yunjin committed crimes in the palace last night, killing the five princesses and injuring Vice-General Qin. Her behavior was extremely bad. Immediately send her to the Heavenly Prison and wait for the Dali Temple to punish her according to the law! Yours truly!"
There was a burst of uproar in the crowd, as if it was unbelievable that Mu Yunjin could do such a thing.
After sighing for a while, everyone turned their eyes to Chu Li, waiting for Chu Li's answer.
"His Royal Highness King Ning, accept the decree." Eunuch Lu put away the decree, bent over, and handed the decree forward.
"No." Chu Liyun said lightly, squinting at the bright yellow imperial decree, turned around and was about to enter the door.
Seeing that Chu Li refused to accept the order, Eunuch Lu was horrified, and shouted at Chu Li's back, "Your Highness King Ning, don't be confused!"
"Please listen to the second order..."
"boom!"
The gate of Prince Ning's Mansion has been shut heavily.
Old General Qin hurried over at this time. Before he came, he had calculated the time well. At this time, he saw Eunuch Lu standing outside the mansion, holding the imperial decree in his hand, and after the gate of the palace was closed, he felt a little joyful. He opened his mouth, "Did King Ning resist the decree?"
Eunuch Lu nodded miserably.
"His Highness King Ning intends to protect the murderer. Could it be that he wants to rebel?" Old General Qin deliberately raised his voice so that all the people in the audience could hear clearly.
"The old slave will go back and report to the emperor, and wait for the emperor to decide on this matter." Eunuch Lu has been in the palace for decades, and he is well aware of the dangers in the palace, so he doesn't want to talk to the old general Qin at this time, so as not to affect himself.
After Old General Qin and Eunuch Lu dispersed at the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion, a white figure appeared around the corner.
"His Royal Highness, it is inconvenient for us to intervene in this matter." Hong Ling stood beside Rong Jiu, seeing that his complexion had been sour since last night, he knew that he was concerned about Mu Yunjin's safety.
"It's not easy for her in this Xiyuan country." Rong Jiu sighed slightly and frowned.
Hong Ling also sighed, looking at the imperial guards in front of her, "Miss Mu is too sharp, and because she is loved by King Ning, there will always be people who envy and envy her."
"His Royal Highness, this matter is of great importance. We cannot recruit it. I believe that His Royal Highness King Ning will also protect Miss Mu." Hong Ling comforted Rong Jiu.
Rong Jiu nodded slightly, feeling powerless for the first time in her life.
"Your Highness, look there!" Standing behind the two of them, Zhang Bai kept looking around with a vigilant expression, and was shocked when he saw a familiar figure.
Rong Jiu looked in the direction Zhang Bai was pointing at, her brows sank, and a rare murderous look appeared in her clear eyes.
"Why is the second prince here?" Hong Ling was also surprised, pressing the second prince Rong Min who was striding down the street with a folding fan in his hand.
"Go back to Yilan Palace first." Rong Jiu ordered.
"yes!"
…
After getting up, Mu Yunjin was sitting in the room drinking porridge, when she saw Chu Li came back from outside, she asked, "What's the situation now?"
"It's nothing." Chu Li looked at her with a faint smile on his brows.
Hearing this, Mu Yunjin put down the spoon in her hand, raised her eyes to meet Chu Li's gaze, "Don't lie to me, such a big thing happened, why is there no movement in the palace?"
"Mu Yunjin, do you trust me?" Chu Li looked at Mu Yunjin with deep eyes.
Mu Yunjin nodded solemnly, "I believe."
"Then stay in the mansion obediently for a few days." Chu Li patted her head.
Mu Yunjin's heart sank, she bit her lip, secretly thinking that something really happened, but if Chu Li told her this, does it mean that he can solve the matter
Mu Yunjin's head hurts.
"I see, I'll listen to you." Mu Yunjin pursed her lips, then put her arms around Chu Li's waist, looking for a sense of security.
Chu Li hugged her and smiled slightly.
…
At night, inside the Yilan Palace.
"My lord, someone sent something outside the door." Beitang lay on the soft couch with his eyes closed and rested after hearing the wind, while the little maid standing beside him was rubbing his temples.
"Bring it up." Beitang raised his eyes upon hearing the wind, and saw a brocade box presented by his attendant.
"Open." Beitang ordered his followers upon hearing the wind.
The entourage at the side nodded, and slowly opened the brocade box, a ray of white light overflowed from the brocade box.
Inside the brocade box, there is a moon-white jade pendant. The jade pendant is shining white, and the word Yunjin can be vaguely seen engraved inside.
After Beitang Wenfeng's sight came into contact with the jade pendant, he immediately sat up in shock from the soft couch, reached out and took the jade pendant in the brocade box, and placed it in the palm of his hand. My heart began to tremble uncontrollably.
Immediately, Beitang heard the wind and got up, before he even had time to put on his shoes, he ran out of the courtyard where he lived, and rushed to another courtyard to the west.
"My lord, my lord..." The guards and attendants brought by Beitang Wenfeng behind were shocked, and they followed Beitang Wenfeng, trotting all the way.
"boom-"
The door of a room in the west courtyard was kicked open with such force that even the door fell down.
Jiang Qingxue was lying on the bed with a pale face, with sadness and despair in her eyes, and when she heard the sound of the door being kicked open, she glanced sideways.
"Qingxue..."
