!It was getting dark, and Luo Xiao prepared dinner.

On the other side, Mu Lu repeated his old trick. He came over with a bowl of medicine and said with a grimace, "Master Hou still refuses to take medicine."

Luo Xiao almost laughed out loud. She turned her back and tried her best to hold back.

Xu Rongrong did not get up this time, but scooped a spoonful of egg custard into his mouth: "Marquis Weiyuan is a high-ranking military marquis, but he doesn't even have a useful person around him. It's a pity! After I return to Beijing, I will enter I beg you, the Queen, please replace the Marquis with some useful subordinates."

Mu Lu: "..."

What, is this job loss?

He hurriedly said: "My subordinates are incompetent about right and wrong. I don't mind them when marching and fighting, but... such delicate work as giving medicine to the Marquis."

"Are women born to do fine work?" Xu Rongrong stirred the spoon in her hand.

Mu Lu quickly kept silent: "This is not what I meant."

"What do you mean, I don't care." Xu Rongrong said with a smile, "For the current matter, you can either sympathize with your prince and help him take medicine to recover as soon as possible; or you can let him survive by himself and see if he can survive."

"It makes no sense to come to me for help again and again." Xu Rongrong looked worried as he spoke.

Even though Mu Lu was thick-skinned, he didn't dare to say anything after being scolded like this and had to resign.

Seeing him leaving, Xu Rongrong let out an almost inaudible sigh of relief.

Thinking of the embarrassing scene in the afternoon, she wished she had never entered Mu Rong's room!

Now it is absolutely impossible for her to go in again!

Luo Xiao served Xu Rongrong another bowl of soup: "But the charcoal fire in the house is too bright? Why is the county master's face so red?"

Xu Rongrong quickly lowered his head and concealed it: "It's okay, maybe he was in a hurry."

In Mu Rong's room, he had already opened his eyes.

Since Xu Rongrong didn't want to come, there was no need for him to pretend.

What's more, lying in bed all day made all the bones in his body uncomfortable.

"Do you really want to drink it?" Mu Rong wanted to vomit when he smelled the taste.

Mu Lu nodded: "This is what Dr. Shu specially told me."

"Did Shu Qing tell me, or did you tell me?" When Mu Rong spoke, his tone was neither slow nor urgent.

Mu Lu knelt down quickly: "I don't dare... Mr. Shu asked Mr. Hou to take medicine on time. I just want the young lady to feel more sorry for Mr. Hou."

Mu Rong looked at the dark concoction and said without comment: "Put it down."

Mu Lu felt like he was being pardoned and quickly put the medicine on the table.

"Is there any news in Beijing?" Mu Rong asked.

Mu Lu quickly called Mu Ai in. Mu Ai had always been responsible for conveying news to the capital, and he did not dare to overstep his authority.

"Returning to the Marquis, news came from the capital this morning that the second prince has been placed under house arrest by His Majesty."

"What about other than that?" Mu Rong asked.

"There is no other news. Lord Chang Jing was not involved in the flood. Your Majesty said that his merits and demerits were equal to each other, so he still returned to Jiangnan and continued to serve as the deposed envoy of Jiangnan Road. Although he was not promoted, he could still retain his original position after such a big event. His Majesty’s attitude is already obvious.”

"Yeah." Mu Ai also agreed with this statement.

But he didn't expect that only the second prince would be punished for this matter.

Although he did not return to Beijing, Cao Yang could definitely handle this matter alone.

Duan Chuannan's identity will definitely be exposed, but according to the second prince's always flamboyant character, someone else must be behind such a complicated conspiracy.

Mu Rong believed that this person was inseparable from the fourth prince, but he did not expect that after all the troubles in the capital, the fourth prince was not injured at all!

From this point of view, the fourth prince's secrets were deeper than he thought.

But this is fine, the second prince fell much earlier than in his previous life, and Duan Chuanan will not affect the third prince.

The tragedy of the third prince's death in front of him in his previous life will not be spoken out again.

Thinking of this, he ordered Mu Ai: "Send a letter to the third prince and ask him to stay in the mansion as much as possible before I return to the capital."

"Yes!" Mu Ai responded, "I have one more thing to report."

"Say."

"The guard named Chu He beside the eldest lady has not shown up since last night. His subordinates went to Yaju to inquire about him, but no one knows his whereabouts."

Chuhe?Mu Rong frowned.

Mu Ai was a little worried: "This man has good skills, but his whereabouts are strange. His subordinates are worried that he will be harmful to the eldest lady. This time, Lin... Mu Wan'er is about to harm the eldest lady. His disappearance must also be related to this. There is involvement.”

Mu Rong sneered, and then said firmly: "He will not be embarrassed."

Mu Lu on the side opened his eyes wide: Mr. Hou, that person is your love rival!Is this really okay with you?

"But this matter still needs to be investigated. He will not disappear inexplicably at this moment." Mu Rong ordered.

……

On the other side, Chu He, who was under suspicion, was outside the station in Suzhou City.

After Mu Xin'er informed Lin Jiaoyue of his hiding place, he followed the official road to follow the team transporting tributes from southern Xinjiang to the north.

There are hundreds of guards in this team. He tried it twice in the afternoon and found that he is indeed one of the best in the world.

If he wanted to intercept and kill Lin Jiaoyue here and escape unharmed, it would not be easy for him.

Therefore, he chose to test it in the dead of night.

The ones who entered Beijing from southern Xinjiang were Vali and Vai, a pair of patriarchal brothers and sisters.

There is a big difference in appearance between the people of Southern Xinjiang and the people of Dazhou. As a woman, Vai has always been criticized by others. Suddenly she met Lin Jiaoyue, who was so beautiful, and treated her as usual for a girl of the same age. It took only half a day to see her. Introduce her as a confidant.

Lin Jiaoyue named herself as the daughter of a minister. She came to Jiangnan with her maid to play, but she didn't expect that someone would take notice of her.

Her maid also died tragically in a different place in order to protect herself.

As she spoke, her appearance was so sad that even Vai, who was also a woman, felt pity for her.

She never expected that in the territory of Great Zhou, which everyone envied, someone would dare to offend a daughter of a good family in broad daylight!

This aroused her protective desire, and that night, she placed Lin Jiaoyue next to her bedroom.

Chu He sneaked into the inn quietly, and as soon as he approached Lin Jiaoyue's room, a flying knife was fired out, and he was noticed by Vai.

The girl from southern Xinjiang only wore a white undershirt and rushed out of the room with a steel fork. She knocked away the flying knife projected by Chu He: "Young disciple! I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Chuhe: "..."

This was the first time he encountered such a situation, and he was labeled as a traitor for no apparent reason.

Seeing that the person coming was full of murderous intent, Chu He turned over and hid under the eaves.

There were small jade beads in Wai's hair, shining under the moonlight. She was originally a petite girl, but now she was standing outside the door of Lin Jiaoyue's room holding a huge steel fork. No matter from which angle she looked, , all like a door god.

There was a lot of movement in the inn, and guards came from all directions.

Chu He knew that he could not stay any longer, so he quietly hid in the night.

When looking back, Lin Jiaoyue was already hiding in the room and did not dare to show up, while the girl from southern Xinjiang was resolutely guarding her.

"Idiot!" Chu He thought to himself.
