The man was dressed in white, spotless, and every feature on his face was carefully carved by God.
Especially those eyes, as deep and calm as a starry night, pure and clean yet a bit mysterious.
The thin crimson lips are slightly raised, and the originally gentle and noble and calm charm of jade has a hint of ambiguous spring.
His eyes fell on Chu Liuyue, with a casual smile on his lips.
Mu Hongyu was stunned for a moment, and then finally reacted and opened his eyes wide:
"His Royal Highness King Li?"
Rong Xiu nodded gently:
"Princess Yongping."
Since Mu Hongyu came to the Imperial Capital and entered Tianlu College, he has always kept a low profile and rarely mentioned his identity.
She had not heard the title Princess Yongping for a long time.
At this time, hearing Rong Xiu mention it, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"you know me?"
Rong Xiu smiled lightly.
"I heard Miss Liu Yue mention it once. Now that I see her, the princess is indeed cheerful and generous, quite like King Pingjiang."
Mu Hongyu's mood immediately improved with these words of praise.
She admires her father the most, and is happier when others praise him than when she praises herself.
She asked curiously:
"His Royal Highness King Li has seen my father?"
"Although I haven't had the chance to meet him, I have heard about his name for a long time."
Mu Hongyu thought about it for a while, and it was the same.
His Royal Highness Prince Li had been in poor health since childhood and was sent to Mingyue Tianshan to recuperate. He had not even been back to the imperial capital a few times. How could he have seen her father in such a far away place
However, it looks like he still has good taste!
Mu Hongyu pulled Chu Liuyue's sleeve happily and whispered.
"Liu Yue, have you raised your sights too? I think His Highness King Li is quite good!"
Chu Liuyue glanced at her speechlessly.
I really don’t know when Mu Hongyu’s stubborn temper will change. He was bribed by others in just one sentence. In the future, he might be sold by others and help others pay for it!
"Hey, he said you mentioned me in front of him. Are you familiar with him?"
Mu Hongyu suddenly thought of something, and his eyes suddenly became subtle when looking at Chu Liuyue.
"You just said-"
"His Highness has helped me several times before. When I went to express my thanks, His Highness asked a few more questions about the academy, so I asked you a few questions."
Chu Liuyue said without blushing or heart beating.
Who can't lie
Since he deliberately exposed the truth, she doesn't have to be polite!
Mu Hongyu suddenly realized.
"No wonder... he must have been thinking about coming to the academy at that time, so he asked you those questions, right?"
The corners of Chu Liuyue's eyes twitched slightly.
Rong Xiu looked at the jade box in Chu Liuyue's hand calmly.
"It seems that you have something to do, so I won't disturb you for now."
Chu Liuyue knelt down and saluted:
"Your Highness, walk slowly."
Rong Xiu glanced at her quietly, then turned and left with Mr. Sun.
Mu Hongyu couldn't help but rub his arms.
"Liu Yue, why do I suddenly feel a little cold?"
Chu Liuyue coughed.
"Let's go quickly, this medicine will get cold after a long time."
…
The two soon arrived at Liao Zhongshu's residence.
Mu Hongyu stepped forward and was about to knock on the door when the door was opened.
Ji Yurong was standing inside.
He had the usual gentle and harmless smile on his face:
"Zhongshu said you would come today, so I have been waiting for you here. Come in quickly!"
Chu Liuyue looked at him.
Compared to the day before, he looked much more natural, as if nothing was wrong.
But this just proves that there is something wrong with him.
Yesterday, Mu Hongyu secretly investigated him and did not completely block the information. If he inquired, he would definitely know.
But he didn't look any different today, he was clearly hiding something!
Mu Hongyu said with a half-smile:
"Hey, how embarrassing is this? It must be hard for you to take care of him these days, right? We are just here to see him, you just go about your business!"
Ji Yurong's face stiffened for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
"We are all friends, and we live together. These are what we should do. Then... you go up first, and I will make you a tea later. You came yesterday, but you couldn't entertain me well."
"Are you so free today?" Mu Hongyu crossed his arms, "I remember you had classes today, right?"
A trace of panic flashed in Ji Yurong's eyes.
"Huh? Oh, I'm asking for leave today. The training time in Jiuyou Pagoda has run out, and I was planning to do some tasks today."
Mu Hongyu was noncommittal.
"This is an important matter, so we won't delay you."
This was obviously to get him to leave.
Ji Yurong hesitated.
"Actually...it's not that urgent...I'm afraid Zhongshu will wait a while..."
"The two of us are here, are you still worried that we can't take care of him?"
"No, no! Then, I'll leave first, please do as you please."
Ji Yurong knew that continuing to talk would only make things worse, so he had no choice but to leave unwillingly.
After his figure disappeared, Mu Hongyu curled his lips.
"If you want to spy on us, can't you think of some other way?"
Chu Liuyue didn't say anything, turned around and went upstairs.
…
Liao Zhongshu's face looks worse today than the day before, and his energy is even more depressed.
Mu Hongyu was surprised:
"Did he poison you again?"
Liao Zhongshu shook his head hard:
"Since you told me yesterday, I haven't touched anything he sent."
Chu Liuyue checked his soup bowl, and it was indeed clean.
"This blood-red Gu is very poisonous. Even if the medicine is no longer used, the poison will become more and more powerful. In the later stage, the army will be defeated like a mountain."
Chu Liuyue said, taking out the decoction from the jade box.
A strong medicinal fragrance spreads.
Mu Hongyu took a deep breath and felt relieved all over.
Chu Liuyue handed it to Liao Zhongshu:
"This medicine can only help you suppress the toxicity for the time being. We will figure out a way to deal with the antidote later."
Without saying a word, Liao Zhongshu took the soup and drank it in one gulp.
"You do trust us," Chu Liuyue said.
A weak but sincere smile appeared on Liao Zhongshu's pale face.
"I'm like this now. If I don't trust you, who can I trust?"
They have a life-and-death friendship, and besides, this is the only path left for him to choose.
"You rest first. Red Fish and I will check again."
Liao Zhongshu nodded.
"I'm sorry to bother you. I really don't know how to repay this friendship..."
"Liu Yue! Red Fish! We are back!"
Before Liao Zhongshu finished speaking, Cen Hu's voice came from downstairs.
Chu Liuyue let Liao Zhongshu rest alone, and then walked out with Mu Hongyu.
As soon as I reached the first floor, I saw Cen Hu and Gu Mingfeng coming back.
Gu Mingfeng had injuries on his face, and it looked like he had gone through a lot in the past two days.
Mu Hongyu was startled and stepped forward quickly:
"Mingfeng, what's going on with you?"
Gu Mingfeng lowered his eyes slightly.
"A little injury."
"How could this be a minor injury?"
It looks like he was beaten to death!
Gu Mingfeng said nothing, obviously not wanting to talk too much about this matter.
Originally, he didn't want to come to see Chu Liuyue and Chu Liuyue with such a face, but Cen Hu forced him to come.
Chu Liuyue only glanced at it, then withdrew her gaze and asked clearly:
"A person from the Gu family did it?"
