Mu Chi was always beaten, so although the caning hurt, it wouldn't make him lose consciousness. As a result, he was branded with an iron block, and immediately passed out.
It took him two days to wake up faintly, and when he opened his eyes, he entered a familiar house.
He lay there blankly for a while, his whole body ached, and his chest hurt even more. Mu Chi was dull for a while, then suddenly remembered something, and regardless of the pain in his body, he lowered his head and opened his front. There was a white plaster and bandages on his chest. Mu Chi opened the bandage, and sure enough, the word Jiang was on his chest, exuding a black and red color.
For some reason, Mu Chi's heart jumped for joy, as if there was some connection between him and Jiang Shining.
He was in a daze when another fellow shadow guard walked in, and when he saw his appearance, he immediately frowned and came over.
"Muchi, you're wasting too much ointment, but it's a good ointment given by your empress."
Mu Chi let the person help him to wrap the bandage. He saw that the movement of the other person raising his head and arms was a bit inconvenient, and he suddenly realized something.
"you also… ?"
"All the shadow guards in the inner courtyard have been given." The shadow guard said, "I feel at ease now. I am afraid of being driven away without seals. Where can I find such a good master?"
Mu Chi became a little depressed, for a moment he thought he was unique. But after calming down and thinking about it again, Jiang Shining is meticulous in her work, and it is the safest thing for her to give seals to everyone. If you only give him one, it seems too deliberate.
Mu Chi vaguely realized that he had caused trouble for Concubine Xiao again. Although this incident was a disaster for him, he still felt a little guilty. He would go to work with Yinghong the next afternoon to see Jiang Shining .
Yinghong watched him hesitate to speak, but finally helped him.
Mu Chi and Ying Hong went into the room alternately to hide. He saw Jiang Shining standing at the table practicing calligraphy, and there was no one else around. He pursed his lips and appeared in front of her.
As soon as Jiang Shining looked up, she saw a familiar black figure kneeling in front of her, and Jiang Shining's temples hurt slightly.
"Get up and talk."
Mu Chi stood up, and he felt Jiang Shining's eyes slide down his face to his chest, where the brand was. For some reason, Mu Chi felt a little ashamed. But soon the throbbing disappeared, because he felt Jiang Shining frowned, as if he saw something nasty.
He suddenly remembered that Yinghong said that she didn't like giving seals.
Mu Chi's heart sank to the bottom, and before he could admit his mistake, Jiang Shining said coldly, "Why did you go back to the Shadow Guard Pavilion without authorization?"
Jiang Shining had never spoken to him in such a cold tone, and Mu Chi lowered his head, speechless.
"...Subordinate, this subordinate is afraid of causing trouble for the empress, so I want to ask if I can be transferred elsewhere..." Mu Chi said in a low voice.
He really couldn't express his sincerity. If you like it, you will be hated.
"Nonsense!" The brush in Jiang Shining's hand was thrown onto the rice paper, and the well-written 'peace of mind' was destroyed by ink.
Seeing that Mu Chi was about to bend down again, she pointed her finger at him and said angrily, "If you kneel again, if you kneel again, I will beat you!"
Mu Chi's movements froze, his expression lost in confusion.
Jiang Shining was almost killed by this anger. He acted so honestly, but turned around and caused trouble. After the incident, she looked innocent, pitiful and confused again, which made her dizzy with anger.
That's not all. The shadow guard, who was completely incapable of observing words and expressions, was in a daze for a moment, and actually took what she said as a problem-solving thinking, and pulled out a soft whip from his waist and handed it to her. Jiang Shining was so angry that he vomited blood, and almost couldn't hold back his quiet burden as Concubine Xiao.
"Don't appear in front of me until you recover!"
In the end, Jiang Shining roughly drove the person away, out of sight and out of mind. She found Yinghong again, and told her not to open the back door for Mu Chi.
Mu Chi could only return to the previous state of staring at the sky in a daze. And he found that the ointment he applied had been changed. The others all used the very precious ointment for the empress that was rewarded by Concubine Xiao, so it turned out that he also used this. As a result, Jiang Shining got angry and changed him to a normal one.
"Why did you offend the empress, she just gave you the most common one?" someone asked strangely.
Mu Chi: "..."
He suddenly remembered Jiang Shining's last words, don't show up in front of her until the injury is healed, it's obviously because he doesn't want to see him, so let him slow down.
Mu Chi didn't know how to make an evaluation. He knew that if Concubine Xiao said a word, he would never see her again for the rest of his life. But she chose to use this kind of angry way, which has a very childish feeling.
In fact, shadow guards are not that expensive, and it is normal to have injuries all year round. But on the second night, his ointment was changed back to the best. Jiang Shining still couldn't bear to make him suffer more.
A few weeks later, Mu Chi's injury was almost healed. He honestly didn't show up for a while, and now that his injury was almost healed, he was a little hesitant to report to Jiang Shining.
After entanglement and entanglement, Mu Chi still chose to show up in the afternoon.
Seeing him, Jiang Shining sighed softly.
"Healed?"
Mu Chi nodded honestly.
"Who can prove that you are alright?" Jiang Shining raised his eyebrows and said almost unreasonably, "How do I know if you are lying or not."
Mu Chi was dumbfounded, he didn't know how to prove it. You can't take off your clothes in front of her.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Shining wanted to bully others, but he couldn't do too much. Seeing Mu Chi's helpless look made him feel better.
Jiang Shining beckoned him over, "Can you write?"
Mu Chi nodded, Jiang Shining gave him the brush, and he carefully wrote his name, Mu Chi.
The shadow guards can write and read, but the quality is not so good. Jiang Shining wrote again next to his crooked words: Mu Chi. Flowing clouds and flowing water, very beautiful.
"Go back and practice your calligraphy." Jiang Shining said, "Correct your dog's calligraphy well."
"I'm a shadow guard, why do I need to practice calligraphy?" Mu Chi said in confusion.
Jiang Shining snorted, in fact, she wanted to find some way to make things difficult for him, who made him think so righteously. But it's not easy to say that, so he said grandly, "Practicing calligraphy is also self-cultivation, and there is nothing wrong with taking care of your temper."
Mu Chi thought for a while, "Then you should ask His Highness Jing Yuan to practice calligraphy more."
Jiang Shining laughed without hesitation, then became serious again, and waved for Mu Chi to leave.
"Just practice your name, I'll check next time."
The two of them were like this, talking a few words every few days, but unknowingly became Jiang Shining's only mediation in this world. She has a mask and pressure when facing everyone, only Mu Chi, who has never appeared in the book, makes her feel more relaxed.
In the winter of the forty-fourth year of Runhe, with the success of the front line, Concubine Gu was promoted to concubine, on an equal footing with Jiang Shining. The harem forces have been further divided, and the form has become more and more complicated. Gradually, the concubine Wang Guifei who had punished Jiang Shining to kneel down a few years ago gradually lost her sacred heart because of being framed, and the situation became a separation of powers among the queen, concubine Xiao and concubine Gu.
Jiang Shining and the two of them were constantly at odds. She has been promoted very quickly these years, but she has been stuck in the concubine position for several years. Concubine Gu has been favored so much in the past two years. Standing on the wrong team.
In the spring of the 45th year of Runhe, Concubine Gu gave birth to a son, who immediately became a celebrity in the palace.
Everyone knew that the relationship between Concubine Gu and Concubine Xiao was not good, and they were all waiting and watching. Some people thought that Jiang Shining would be pulled down by Concubine Gu within a year. Concubine Gu's family background is too good, and her heart can't sink. She couldn't wait to point the finger at Jiang Shining just after her ascension, wanting to avenge her shame.
In order to frame Jiang Shining to death at once, Concubine Gu conspired for a long time, and even joined forces with the queen. He planned to put Jiang Shining on Jiang Shining's charge of framing her because of jealousy, so that the emperor had to kill her because of the complete evidence.
Concubine Gu's child is full moon, so she took this opportunity to hold a big banquet and invite all the concubines in the palace to attend. She planned to push the prepared frame on Jiang Shining in front of everyone. Jiang Shining will definitely not be able to find evidence to prove her innocence for a while, when the time comes, all the concubines will condemn her together, raising the atmosphere, and the queen will come out to make the decision and order someone to take her down.
If Jiang Shining was controlled, no matter how smart she was, she would not be able to turn over. When the emperor came, the evidence was conclusive, and Jiang Shining could not escape death.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Shining had already expected that this was a Hongmen banquet. She knew that Concubine Gu was going to frame her, so she had already prepared countermeasures. But on the surface, she still went to the appointment as usual, but she asked another emperor to be invited.
So, when Concubine Gu clamored to let the queen decide, Chu Haoli suddenly arrived. Concubine Gu and the queen were a little surprised by this change, and Concubine Gu was a little out of control, but she followed suit and said that Jiang Shining wanted to murder her.
Jiang Shining produced personal and physical evidence in front of everyone, and questioned Concubine Gu until she was speechless. Seeing the change in form, the queen immediately turned around and accused Concubine Gu.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Gu also kept a hand. The things Jiang Shining gave when he went to the banquet were exchanged, and Concubine Gu insisted that Jiang Shining had bad intentions. Even if she 'misunderstood' Jiang Shining in the previous incident, at least this incident was true.
Chu Hao was terribly annoyed, Concubine Gu was proud of being favored by her family background, he was already a little annoyed, but he could only endure it. In his heart, he prefers Jiang Shining who never causes trouble, let alone framed someone like giving gifts in public.
But the front line still depends on Concubine Gu's father and elder brother, and Concubine Gu has just given birth to a son, so Chu Haoli can't say anything. He wanted to settle the matter, but Concubine Gu refused to let her go.
Jiang Shining had no way to prove that the gift was swapped out, Chu Haoli made the big deal smaller and asked her to make amends to Concubine Gu, so forget about it.
However, it was impossible for Jiang Shining to admit it. On the surface, it seems that she, Concubine Gu and the queen are arguing with each other, but in fact it is also a contest between various forces. With so many people in the palace watching, Jiang Shining gave way now, and the people in his own camp would be confused. They were already afraid of Concubine Gu's background, if Jiang Shining was dismissed by her, the road ahead would be very difficult.
Furthermore, if she admits it, the matter of framing Concubine Gu will become real.
Jiang Shining naturally refused to apologize.
Chu Hao couldn't hold back his face anymore. He felt that he trusted Jiang Shining so much that he didn't poison him, and he only asked her to make a verbal apology to settle the matter. He was already very close to her. How could she be so ignorant and not give him a step down
"Jiang Shining, I'll give you another chance to apologize to Concubine Gu!" Chu Hao said coldly while sitting on the front seat.
Jiang Shining knelt on the ground, she raised her head and smiled mockingly.
"There is nothing wrong in the first place, so why admit it?" She said, "I, Jiang Shining, have never done anything sneaky since I entered the palace for so many years. Besides, I was framed by someone, so why did I do anything wrong?"
"Your Majesty, look at her." Concubine Gu said aggrievedly.
Chu Hao couldn't get off the stage, and suddenly laughed out of anger.
"Okay, okay." He said, "Concubine Xiao has a backbone. You can choose, or you will kneel and reflect on yourself outside Concubine Gu's palace alone, and let everyone see how you look, or you will admit your mistake and apologize! "
"Sister, just be soft." The queen also spoke beside her, "After all, you were the one who was wrong first, so what's the use of being stubborn?"
It seemed that they were forcing her to admit the sewage.
Jiang Shining smiled lightly, she gave Chu Hao a sharp look, and then bent down.
"The concubine chooses the first one."
Under everyone's gaze, Jiang Shining came to the palace road and knelt straight down. Su Ye was so anxious that she kept begging the emperor. Chu Haoli followed her out, lowered his eyelashes when he saw her kneeling down, and stopped looking at him.
Obviously she has a soft and weak body, but why is her temper so stubborn
Chu Hao snorted coldly, flung his sleeves and left.
The banquet broke up unhappily, and the concubines, big and small, dispersed. They kept peeking at Jiang Shining, and some even laughed.
They all felt that Concubine Xiao's disgrace this time was small, and that she was out of favor.
Concubine Gu won the final victory. She stood in front of Jiang Shining and pretended to look at the sky.
"Oh, it looks a bit cloudy today. My sister is afraid of the cold, so I won't be with my sister for now."
She wanted to leave triumphantly, but she heard Jiang Shining snorted. Concubine Gu turned her head, and saw that although Concubine Xiao was kneeling, she still had the usual cold and distant expression, as if she didn't care about anything.
Concubine Gu was a little annoyed for a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, "I really don't know where your arrogance comes from. Haven't you recognized the truth yet? Now the emperor loves me a little more, you are finished."
Hearing this, Jiang Shining's smile became even stronger.
"Concubine Gu, when you think the emperor loves you, you are not far from losing power." She said lazily, "Do you not know whether the emperor loves you or respects your family background?"
"You!" Concubine Gu gritted her teeth when someone talked about the central matter, "That's better than you, the daughter of the little magistrate! When my father and brother come back with a big victory, wouldn't it be easy for me to kill you?" .”
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it." Jiang Shining said, "I've run out of good words, so you can do it yourself."
Concubine Gu only thought that Jiang Shining was a dead duck with a stubborn mouth. She gave Jiang Shining a cold look, turned around and entered her palace, and asked someone to close the gate directly.
The sky was overcast, and the road under the high wall seemed extremely quiet.
Jiang Shining was very calm. To her, the most important thing was to survive and succeed in her mission. Under this, she can let go of everything, including dignity, as long as she can achieve the final victory. This reckless determination is quite similar to Jing Yuan's.
So if the situation required, Jiang Shining could admit his mistakes to Concubine Gu and apologize. But she knew that it was useless to obey the emperor all the time. Men are such cheap bones, the more you make him think about it, the more he will never forget it. The emperor has too many obedient women, but he lacks one who can make him stumble.
Su Ye didn't know what Jiang Shining was thinking, she was so distressed that she almost shed tears. Jiang Shining sighed slightly, and she said, "Su Ye, you should go back first."
"Your Majesty, how could this servant let you be here alone?" Su Ye's tears fell instantly.
"The emperor said to let me reflect alone." Jiang Shining said, "You will be found an excuse to deal with me when you are here."
There was no way, Su Ye almost left with tears in his eyes.
Thus, Jiang Shining was the only one left on the quiet palace road.
She raised her head, stared at the cold sky, and somehow thought of Mu Chilai. She hooked the corner of her mouth.
Jiang Shining's body in this world is extremely weak. Although she was only the daughter of a magistrate, the original body was also raised as a lady of the family. She didn't have the opportunity to exercise like modern women.
Later, when Jingxuan was born, his vitality was hurt, and his spirit was a little bit worse.
Come to think of it, this is not the first time. A few years ago, when Concubine Wang Guifei was still a concubine, she was not pleasing to the eye, and Jiang Shining was of a lower rank, so she was punished to kneel once at that time. It was later discovered that her body really became a young lady's life, and she had to take care of it all the time, and she would get sick if she caught cold and rained a little.
Jiang Shining didn't like this feeling of weakness. But perform the task, there is nothing to fault.
She calculated in her heart that it is already cold in spring, and the cold air enters from her knees, so she will definitely get sick. If it rains, there will be a serious illness. Chu Haoli has feelings for her, maybe love, but this kind of love is far inferior to his love for himself and the throne.
Maybe we can make a fuss about serious illnesses.
Jiang Shining's mind was so calm that he was ruthless, and even used everything about himself as a pawn to advance the task.
While she was thinking, the sky was muffled by thunder, and heavy rain began to fall.
Jiang Shining's knees were already cold and cold, but when the heavy rain came, her whole body became icy cold. The biting cold made her a little unbearable, and it soon turned into numbness.
She wondered in a daze, in such a world, would she have to survive five more times before she could get a real chance to live again
…
The heavy rain became heavier and heavier, and for a while the whole world was filled with the sound of majestic rain. Even the maids and eunuchs were looking for shelter from the rain.
Mu Chi stood in a shadowy corner, his clothes were instantly wet by the heavy rain, and he didn't seem to feel anything. He stared at the frail figure in the distance, and couldn't help clenching his fists, his fingertips turning white.
On the other side, Chu Haoli was reviewing the memorial in the room, while the eunuch next to him was pouring water.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Chu Haoli's expression was obviously distracted. He frowned and slapped the pen on the table, staring out the window coldly.
The chief eunuch watched his words and expressions, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, the concubine Xiao is weak and may not be able to bear such a heavy rain."
"Who made her ignorant." Chu Hao said coldly, "She is so smart, how could she not understand the situation in the previous court, and insisted on confronting Concubine Gu head-on."
The eunuch couldn't say anything, so he could only smile awkwardly and put down the teapot.
Menlei rolled and roared in the clouds, Chu Hao lost patience after approving a few memorials, and threw all the things on the table out of his mind.
He paced back and forth in the study, feeling angry, but he had nowhere to vent his anger.
"Why do you think she has such an ass temper? Can't she be subdued even once?" Chu Hao said sharply. He turned around and became more irritable when he heard the sound of rain falling outside. He also said, "Is there anyone in Concubine Xiao's Palace to intercede?"
"It... doesn't seem to be there." The eunuch said cautiously.
"A bunch of trash!" Chu Haoli smashed the teapot to the ground.
The eunuch knelt down to pack his things, and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, why don't you let Concubine Xiao go back? She has also suffered a lot, and she will definitely reflect on it."
"Let her go for no reason, where will I put my face?" Chu Hao said angrily.
In the imperial study room, Chu Haoli still couldn't let go of his face.
In the rain, no matter how determined Jiang Shining's spirit was, the frail Jiang Shining was no match for his fragile body that had reached its limit.
She gradually lost consciousness and passed out.
When Jiang Shining's body fell down, it didn't land on the cold ground.
Mu Chi caught her body.
In the rain and fog, Mu Chi looked down at Jiang Shining's pale face. He picked her up and rushed towards the palace.
The shadow guard has lightness kung fu, Mu Chi hurried back and bumped into Su Ye who rushed out holding an umbrella. Su Ye was stunned when he saw him holding Jiang Shining, and immediately reacted, took Jiang Shining on his back, and ran towards the palace.
Only then did Mu Chi stop, and he walked back slowly in the heavy rain, instead of going through the main entrance, he turned in from the place where the shadow guards came in and out.
The entire palace was in full swing because of Jiang Shining's return, and everyone was busy for her alone.
Mu Chi quietly returned to the side yard where the servant lived, and happened to run into Yinghong. Seeing his drenched appearance, Yinghong froze for a moment.
"Brother..."
"I might not survive tomorrow." Mu Chi said calmly. "I just brought my mother back, I don't know if anyone saw me on the way."
"What did you say?" Yinghong was stunned, she murmured, "You, you?"
"If someone comes to blame, blame everything on me." Mu Chi said.
He walked past Yinghong sideways and entered his room, and Yinghong followed him in anxiously.
"You have always taught me not to be reckless, why do you do the same?" She said, "Whether a man or a woman can kiss each other, if you bring your mother back, if someone finds out—"
Mu Chi stopped abruptly, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.
"I can't watch her there." He said hoarsely, "Forget it, just do it, that's it."
"Brother, you are so confused!" Yinghong gritted her teeth helplessly, "You should come back and inform others, instead of making decisions on your own..."
At this moment, Su Ye opened the door and walked in. Mu Chi took two steps towards her, and said hastily, "How is your empress?"
Su Ye shook his face heavily.
"Your Majesty has a fever and is unconscious at the moment."
Mu Chi's face turned pale immediately, and Su Ye looked at him.
"Mu Chi, you have to remember, I carried my mother back!" Su Ye said seriously, "You all must not say the wrong thing."
"But… "
The emperor asked Concubine Xiao to kneel until tomorrow. No matter who takes her away, it is against the emperor's order. If it is serious, it will be beheaded.
While Mu Chi was hesitating, Su Ye had already waved his hand.
"Okay, if you let the emperor know that it is you, you will definitely die." Su Ye frowned and said, "I am the empress's grand maid, and your majesty will not really kill you. Just remember that this matter has nothing to do with you, that's fine." .”
"What's okay?" Just then, another person outside the door said.
Everyone was shocked, and Mu Chi was even ready to silence her. Su Ye was relieved again.
"Master Zhang Qingning, you startled me."
Zhang Qingning obviously heard her words. He glanced at Mu Chi unkindly and narrowed his eyes.
"You are so courageous." Zhang Qingning said coldly, "It doesn't matter if you die, if you drag your empress' reputation down and suffer humiliation, your death is not enough to apologize."
"My lord." Su Ye stepped forward and smiled apologetically, "Look at this matter..."
Only then did Zhang Qingning look away, and he snorted coldly.
"Don't expect me to hide it with you, I will truthfully report the truth to His Royal Highness Jing Yuan." He said. Looking at Su Ye again, "Aunt Su Ye, have you ever thought about what if someone sees this guy bringing his wife back? Originally, killing him would be enough to solve the problem, and His Majesty might be reluctant to touch your lady. Once you cover it up, On the contrary, it is easy to have three hundred taels of silver here."
"Then what should we do, my lord?" Su Ye said helplessly, "We can't recruit them all before they are found, right?"
Zhang Qingning frowned, "You send people to report to the emperor, saying that your mother is in a coma and was brought back by a servant. Now she is unconscious and dying, and she is unable to plead guilty in person. As for whether the servant is a man or a woman, let's not mention this for now. Things. Don't tell if no one asks, and if anyone sees—"
He glanced at Mu Chi and said coldly, "You know what you're going to do."
"I understand." Mu Chi lowered his head and cupped his fists.
Zhang Qingning snorted coldly, opened the door and left.
Su Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried out to send a confidant eunuch to report to the emperor, and told him to cry as hard as possible, so that His Majesty would miss Empress's body more.
She sent someone here, and went to pick up the imperial doctor in person. This imperial doctor was considered to belong to Concubine Xiao. When he came to make a diagnosis, he also said that although the empress was in a very bad condition, fortunately, she was taken away in time. Her body is too weak, and no matter how long she kneels in the rain, the damage to her body will be indelible.
Su Ye signaled to the imperial doctor to speak more miserable in front of the emperor, and the imperial doctor expressed his understanding. After sending him away, Su Ye watched the servants boil the medicine again. After being busy for a while, she went back to the lower courtyard, and wanted to see what Mu Chi was doing, and then gave a few more instructions.
In the end, he saw Mu Chi standing in the rain in the backyard, waiting quietly, like a straight pine tree.
"Mu Chi, why are you here?"
Mu Chi turned his head and said flatly, "Auntie, I have something to ask you."
…
When Jing Yuan in the Prince's Mansion got the news from Zhang Qingning, everything was settled. He hurriedly went to see Jiang Shining, and saw the woman unconscious on the couch, her lips were pale, but her cheeks were abnormally red.
Jing Yuan took two steps back, a raging anger ignited in his chest.
How much he wanted to kill the emperor, concubine Gu, and all the concubines related to this matter. But Jing Yuan was much more mature and calm than before, so he didn't rush out like last time.
The hostility on his face made Zhang Qingning break out in cold sweat, and kept comforting in a low voice, Jing Yuan seemed not to hear.
Jing Yuan only felt that he was powerless, how many contacts he thought he had, and how many families he had won over. But in fact, just like when he was young, he was completely powerless to protect Jiang Shining.
he hates. He hated Chu Haoli, and also hated himself for being helpless.
Jing Yuan walked out of the palace in a daze, but saw a black figure kneeling in the rain far away.
"He is that shadow guard?" Jing Yuan squeezed out the words from his teeth.
When Zhang Qingning saw it, he immediately felt a headache. Why does this shadow guard have such an elm head, blocking Jing Yuan's eyes? The other servants wanted to keep him, but if he didn't die in the hands of the emperor, there was a high probability that he would be killed by Jing Yuan.
Jing Yuan has always been ruthless, he will not let a single handle go on living.
He walked into the rain angrily, and Zhang Qingning quickly opened his umbrella to follow.
Chu Jingyuan came to Mu Chi. The man was like a stone, kneeling there motionless, letting the rain soak his cold body, and letting Jing Yuan glare at him at will.
Mu Chi was very calm.
He remained silent about all Jing Yuan's words, until the furious prince said, "You should be executed."
Mu Chi finally moved, he presented his sharp sword cleanly, his expression remained calm.
At this moment, Mu Chi was thinking the same as Jing Yuan. He is a handle, a loophole. As long as he is killed, no one can say that Jiang Shining made a typo.
But no one can kill him, only Jing Yuan.
So, Mu Chi presented the sword.
Jing Yuan was furious in an instant, he took this as Mu Chi's provocation, and immediately drew his sword to slash people, Zhang Qingning, who was trying to stop him, was almost unable to resist.
"Seventh brother!"
At this moment, Jing Xuan finally arrived. As soon as he saw this scene, he immediately ran over and stood in front of Mu Chi.
"Jing Xuan, get out of the way!" Jing Yuan said angrily, "I'm going to kill this shadow guard!"
"Seventh brother, you can't kill him, he belongs to the concubine mother!" Jing Xuan tried his best to dissuade him, "The imperial doctor said that if it was a little later, the concubine mother would get sicker. The shadow guard saved him by betting with death." Concubine Mu, if you killed him, wouldn’t it chill people’s hearts? Next time this happens, will anyone dare to save Concubine Mu?”
Jing Xuan persuaded again and again, and Jing Yuan finally let go of his murderous intentions. He dropped Mu Chi's sword, but still looked at Mu Chi's dead face, angry, and kicked it.
Although he exerted great force, the hidden guard should be able to bear it. Unexpectedly, Mu Chi was kicked down by him, so he no longer had the strength to get up. Lying prone in the rain and unable to get up. He saw traces of blood soaking through Mu Chi's skirt, swirling in the rain. Jing Yuan, Jing Xuan, and Zhang Qingning were all stunned.
"Where did you get injured?" Jing Xuan frowned.
Mu Chi panted lightly, and it took a long time before he propped himself up and lowered his eyelashes.
"If a villain commits a crime, he will receive two hundred lashes." He said in a low voice, "It will be more credible to kill him again this way."
"You—" Even Jing Yuan, who was originally angry, was at a loss for words for a while, he naturally felt the loyalty of the shadow guard, how could he be able to do it again. He flicked his sleeves, snorted angrily, turned and left.
Jing Xuan and his eunuch were left, Jing Xuan bent down to help Mu Chi, but Mu Chi was already unable to get up, Jing Xuan turned his head and frowned, "Someone take him back to take medicine and rest."
When Mu Chi heard this, he grabbed Jing Xuan's sleeve and slid it down weakly.
"It's still... It's safer to kill the villain..." He was about to lose consciousness, and he still murmured.
"It's not a last resort, it doesn't have to be like this." Jing Xuan said in a low voice, "This matter is beyond your control, go back and recuperate. The rest is up to fate."
