After a brief lunch in the prime minister's mansion, Mu Yunjin didn't stop there, and left with Zixiang. During this trip to the prime minister's mansion, he didn't think about what kind of congratulatory gift he would prepare in the end.
"Miss, didn't Eldest Young Master say that His Highness the Sixth Prince is withdrawn, but besides those rare treasures, are there other things for this withdrawn thing?" Zi Xiang tilted her head and asked.
Mu Yunjin smiled, and looked at Zixiang, "You said that Chu Li has never seen any rare treasures before, and would be curious about my gift?"
"Since rare treasures are not uncommon, the servant thinks that the young lady should make some things by hand, so that they can't be bought and no one has seen them." Zixiang laughed.
manual
Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows slightly, and glanced at her own hands. The owner of this body really has a good skin, with slender fingers, light and agile.
However, what she seems to be least good at is hand-made.
If she is allowed to fight and kill, she will definitely have no problem. It is simply as difficult as going to heaven for her to make handmade items.
For a while, Mu Yunjin was in trouble again.
When she returned to the Sixth Prince's Mansion, Shen Momo saw Mu Yunjin coming back and greeted her with a smile, "Prince and Concubine, do you think of anything to give?"
Mu Yunjin shook her head, "I haven't thought about it yet."
Seeing this, Nanny Shen nodded, "There's no rush, anyway, there's still some time, so think about it slowly."
"Well, I'm a little sleepy, I'll go back to sleep first." Mu Yunjin said.
"Okay, Zixiang girl, help Mammy to pick some flower petals." Shen Momo left Zixiang behind and said with a smile.
Zixiang nodded and stayed.
Walking alone on the way back to Liquan Pavilion, Mu Yunjin looked at the back garden of this mansion, and found that the scale of this mansion was almost several times larger than the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.
He couldn't help sighing again about the prince's grandeur, and then walked to some houses that he hadn't been to in a bored way.
Before passing through a few vacant small pavilions, Mu Yunjin remembered what Zixiang said that day that these might be reserved for future concubines to live in, and her eyes could not help but be a little playful.
After walking a few steps, the earlobe moved slightly, and only heard the voice of a person in a small pavilion.
Mu Yunjin paused, and out of curiosity, she walked a few steps towards the source of the sound, and then only heard Ding Xian's voice inside—
"This time going south, there is no gain. That thing is very important to His Highness. This time, we must get reliable clues when we go to the Eastern Kingdom."
"Yes, Ding Wei!"
"Your Highness has been searching for that thing for nearly ten years. Recently, more and more clues have surfaced. You have to think about it carefully."
…
Mu Yunjin left quietly without finishing listening, and on the way back, she couldn't help but recall the scene when she entered the palace for the first time, bumped into Chu Li by mistake, and was later strangled by Chu Li.
At that time, what she eavesdropped on seemed to be similar to today's, looking for something. Later, Chu Li found out that she was eavesdropping, and even wanted to kill her to silence her.
After searching for ten years, what is the important thing
When stepping into the Liquan Pavilion, he happened to meet Chu Li who was about to go out alone.
Mu Yunjin glanced at Chu Li, perhaps because she overheard Ding Xian's words just now, she was a little guilty, and couldn't help showing a bright smile to Chu Li.
Chu Li glanced at Mu Yunjin, and said lightly, "What are you laughing at?"
"..." Mu Yunjin resisted the urge to curse, then gave Chu Li a gouged look, and strode towards her bedroom.
Chu Li stood where he was, shaking his head helplessly.
…
When Mu Yunjin woke up, it was already midnight.
Mu Yunjin sat up from the soft couch, looked at the pitch-black room, and then remembered that she had been sleeping since coming back in the afternoon.
After thinking about it, he sighed slightly and got out of bed, ready to find something to eat.
He opened the door in the dark, and there were candle-filled lanterns hanging in the yard outside, illuminating the whole yard, except the room diagonally opposite was completely dark.
Chu Li is not there again.
Just as he was about to walk towards the small kitchen in the front yard, a few gusts of wind suddenly blew in the peaceful yard, extinguishing all the lanterns hanging in the yard.
In the entire Liquan Pavilion, there was no light at all.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Yunjin heard the slight sound of footsteps on the roof accompanied by the breath of many strangers.
Mu Yunjin frowned slightly, this is...
Assassins coming
After thinking about it, Yun Jin immediately retreated to the room, leaned against the back of the cabinet, and listened intently to the movement around her.
After a while, Mu Yunjin looked at the few people who flew down from the roof through the remaining moonlight, and stood firmly in front of her room door.
"Chu Li's absence tonight is an excellent opportunity to do something." A deep male voice sounded from outside the door.
After the words fell, the assassins nodded, and then dispersed.
With a sound of "squeak", the first person pushed Mu Yunjin's room away.
Mu Yunjin stood behind the cabinet, watching the assassin walk lightly. After entering her room, she began to rummage through the cabinets.
Gradually, the man in black walked towards the cabinet.
The phoenix-tailed whip wrapped around Mu Yunjin's wrist was about to move, and the dagger hidden close to her body in her sleeve was now clutched in her hand, slowly waiting for the man in black to approach.
The moment the man in black opened the cabinet, Mu Yunjin, who was standing beside the cabinet, flashed a figure, smiled bloodthirstyly, then swung his wrist, and a dagger fell fiercely on the man in black's heart.
Steady, accurate and ruthless, the same is not bad.
The man in black didn't expect that a person would suddenly appear from behind the cabinet, and by the time he realized it, he was already dead.
Mu Yunjin stroked her body and pulled out the dagger, then walked outside.
At this moment, in the entire Liquan Pavilion, there were figures of men in black walking around everywhere. Mu Yunjin squinted her eyes slightly, and her eyes kept wandering around the man in black.
When Mu Yunjin was about to wave her whip to deal with those men in black one by one, she felt the aura of hidden guards suddenly appearing around her, and these auras were very familiar, as if it was the first time she met Chu Li. people around.
Afterwards, the originally extinguished lanterns in the entire Liquan Pavilion instantly regained their light.
Those men in black who had been walking in the dark with ease stopped in place one after another, and then saw a dark figure walking in at the gate of Liquan Pavilion.
When Mu Yunjin saw Chu Li, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and then looked around at all the hidden guards who had appeared at the moment, suddenly felt that she had just been acting affectionate.
It turns out that people have already prepared.
"Oops, I've been tricked, retreat!" A man in black shouted, and then flew away from the spot.
When Chu Li heard this, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his tone was cold, "All of them will be dealt with, and none will be left behind."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After the words fell, the dark guards were dispatched one after another.
Chu Li stared at the surroundings, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Mu Yunjin standing at the door of the bedroom, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, and then he walked away.
When he walked in front of Mu Yunjin, Chu Li pursed his lips, "Scared you?"
"No, it's just that there is still a dead body in my room, please wait for someone to clean it up for me." Mu Yunjin finished speaking and pointed inside.
Chu Li frowned slightly, "You did it?" "I was a sneak attack, it's just luck." Mu Yunjin smiled calmly, lowering her eyes slightly. She can hide things like her skills for as long as she can.
"Yeah." Chu Li nodded slightly.
After a while, Ding Xian flew down from the roof, holding the collar of a man in black in his hand, walked to Chu Li and said, "Your Highness, you are from Donglin Kingdom."
"Clean it up." Chu Li glanced at Ding Xian.
Ding Xian nodded.
Hearing the word Donglin country again, Mu Yunjin couldn't help but think of the name of this country when she eavesdropped on Ding Xian during the day.
Can't help but smell a conspiracy.
It seems that the sixth prince's mansion is not peaceful.
After a while, when the surroundings returned to calm, Mu Yunjin originally wanted to go back to sleep, but as soon as she went in, she came out with some disgust.
Chu Li looked at Mu Yunjin in puzzlement.
"I'm hungry, I'll go find something to eat." After saying that, Mu Yunjin twitched the corners of her mouth and walked out of the yard.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows slightly, watched Mu Yunjin walk out of the yard, and then said to Ding Xian, "Go and clean up the bloody smell in Mu Yunjin's room."
"Yes, Your Highness."
…
In the small kitchen, Mu Yunjin rummaged through the entire kitchen, but in the end only found a few dry steamed buns and some leftovers.
Mu Yunjin curled her lips, rolled up her sleeves, found two eggs, and then scrambled a bowl of egg fried rice for herself.
When she just took a mouthful of rice, Mu Yunjin felt as if she could smell blood, so she couldn't help but spit it out, and put the bowl aside.
Then he took a steamed bun and walked out of the small kitchen.
In the late summer night, there is a slight breeze blowing on the body at this moment, but it feels cool.
For a while, Mu Yunjin didn't want to go back to Liquan Pavilion at all, so she sat on the railing of the gazebo outside, gnawing on the cold steamed buns in her hand.
Looking at the bright moon in the night sky, Mu Yunjin said slowly, "I didn't know the moon when I was young, and I called it a white jade plate, and I was suspicious of the Yaotai mirror, flying in the blue clouds."
After all, Mu Yunjin laughed a few times.
"In the middle of the night, you are in a good mood." Chu Li's voice came from one side, and the words were tinged with a bit of teasing.
Mu Yunjin paused for a moment, looked around, and then said, "Your Highness the Sixth Prince is not going to rest, what are you doing here?"
"You wrote this poem?" Chu Li asked, ignoring Mu Yunjin's words.
"You think highly of me, I don't have the ability to write poetry." Mu Yunjin curled her lips, took the last bite of steamed buns, and wiped her hands with a silk handkerchief.
Chu Li stared at Mu Yunjin, with some thought in his eyes, then took out a jade whistle from his sleeve and handed it to Mu Yunjin.
"Blow the whistle to summon the hidden guards in the palace."
Mu Yunjin paused, glanced at the exquisitely crafted jade whistle, slightly curled her lips, and did not reach out to pick it up, "No, I can protect myself well."
"Only by yourself?" Chu Li smiled lightly and played with the jade whistle a few times.
Mu Yunjin bit her lips when she heard the words, and there was a bit of thought in her eyes, then she smiled soothingly, and reached out to take the jade whistle pointed by Chu Li, "Then I will accept it."
Putting away the jade whistle, Mu Yunjin secretly thought, now that she deliberately hides her skills and does not show her sharpness, these hidden guards may really help her someday, it is better to keep this jade whistle for self-defense first.
Seeing that Mu Yunjin had accepted the jade whistle, Chu Li raised his eyebrows indiscriminately, "The smell of blood in your house has been eliminated, you can go back to rest with peace of mind."
"..." Mu Yunjin stood where she was, the corners of her mouth twitching.
