The Time Traveling Prince Consort Plans to Rule the World for Me
Chapter 223 Little 2
For several days in a row, Su Yi was very busy. Sometimes he would rush back to the mansion at around 1 a.m., but he would get up and leave the mansion within half an hour of sleeping. In fact, he even did not return to the princess' mansion for the past two days, which was unprecedented.
Su Muxue, who hadn't seen Su Yi for several days, asked about Uncle Kun, but he knew nothing about anything. She could even feel that there were more than twice as many guards in the mansion as before, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
These days, Su Yi has issued an order that no one in the mansion can go out unless it is necessary.
But on this day, Su Muxue, who was bored, ignored Uncle Kun's dissuasion and pestered Mu Jin to go stroll around the streets of Bianliang together. Mu Jin also wanted to go out for a walk, but Uncle Kun had no choice but to send a few people to follow him from a distance.
When they were tired of walking around, they went to a teahouse called "Xiang Ming Ju" to have tea and rest.
There were not many people in the teahouse today, and only a few people in the lobby, but Su Muxue did not like sitting in the lobby, so she went upstairs with Mu Jin and asked for a private room.
The private room upstairs was separated by a veil. As soon as Mu Jin and Su Muxue sat down, they were attracted by the words of several young men in the private room.
A man wearing a bright red robe and looking very frivolous said, "My father said that Bianliang has been in turmoil these days, so he told me not to go out. I have been stuck at home these days, and I am so bored. If I hadn't been smart and climbed over the wall to get out, I don't know how long I would have had to stay there before I could leave the house."
A purple man laughed and said, "You've been holding it in for so long, why don't you go to Yihong Courtyard? Why come here instead?"
"Why go to Yihongyuan? You have to wait until night to go. Now I just want to drink some tea and listen to some books." After the man in red said this, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
"I think you are afraid that your father will beat you." The man in purple teased.
"Stop talking nonsense." The man in red put down his teacup and glanced at the man in purple.
A man in a black robe next to him seemed to have thought of something, and quickly approached the man in red and asked.
"According to rumors, the emperor's life or death is still unknown. Some people even say that the emperor may have been murdered by the Su family. I heard that since this month, the Su family has forbidden anyone to approach the Ambergris Palace."
"Even Princess Wenhui is not allowed to enter. Princess Wenhui is the eldest sister of the emperor. How dare that Su say that she is not allowed to enter? I heard that Princess Wenhui fainted outside the Dragon's Saliva Palace because of anger. Has your father ever mentioned this to you?"
After listening to the conversation between the two, Mu Jin and Su Muxue couldn't help but look at each other.
At this time, the purple-clothed man said nervously: "Keep your voices down, don't let Su's minions hear us, otherwise we won't be able to escape with such bad results."
The man in red sneered, "What are you afraid of? Isn't this matter now known everywhere? Everyone is talking about it, why don't you allow us to talk about it?"
The purple-robed man said, "That being said, it's better to be careful."
The red-robed man sneered and said, "Don't worry, it won't be long before that Su won't be able to act arrogantly anymore."
The people nearby looked at the man in red in surprise and said, "Why do you say that, Prince Lu? Your father is the Privy Councilor. Did he tell you something? Tell us quickly so we can prepare."
Mu Jin glanced at the man in red and thought: It turns out that the man in red in front of me is Lu Changwei's son.
The man in red was obviously a little annoyed that he had let the cat out of the bag, but he still glanced around and asked a few people to come closer and said, "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone."
Several people nodded immediately, and the man in red whispered, "I also overheard what my father and his secret guards said by accident. If you spread it to me and my father knows, he will not forgive me."
Several people nodded quickly to indicate that they would keep their mouths shut.
The man in red said solemnly, "Anyone with the surname Su is considered a foreign relative, and it is a taboo for foreign relatives to interfere in government affairs. Princess Wenhui has joined forces with some ministers and wants to enter the palace to attack Su Yi."
As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped, realizing that this was an attempt to force the emperor to abdicate. Bianliang City was afraid that a bloody storm would be set off.
Instantly, everyone's faces became solemn. They picked up their teacups and drank tea to hide their inner nervousness without saying a word.
After a long silence, the man in purple suddenly stood up, with an apologetic look on his face, and said, "Something urgent happened at home, so I can't stay here long. I'll leave first, and I hope you won't mind." After that, he left in a hurry, without even having time to say goodbye to everyone.
When the others saw this, the lively atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and the men lost interest in drinking tea and chatting. They looked at each other, as if they wanted to say something.
Not long after, someone stood up, saying that he had something to take care of. In the blink of an eye, the private room that was originally full of people suddenly became empty.
The man in red sneered coldly: "You are so timid, and you still want me to tell you."
The man in black smiled in agreement, he also wanted to leave, but his father was Lu Changwei's subordinate, he didn't dare to offend him.
At this time, a waiter came up from downstairs, carrying a lacquer tray full of tea and fruits to Mu Jin's private room.
"Ladies, this is your stuff."
Su Muxue looked at Mu Jin in confusion and asked, "When did Jin order it?"
Mu Jin also looked at the waiter in surprise: "We didn't order these, but they were delivered to the wrong place?"
"That's right. Just now a gentleman said he wanted to give it to the two young ladies."
The waiter looked very ordinary, spoke fluent Bianliang dialect, and wore a very ordinary cotton clothes, but on his feet he wore a pair of expensive brocade boots.
How could a waiter in a teahouse afford such expensive boots? Even if he saved money for a whole year, he still couldn't afford them.
Mu Jin suddenly realized something was wrong, raised his eyebrows, pulled Su Muxue behind him, and shouted, "Be careful!"
“Crash!”
The moment Mu Jin spoke, the so-called "waiter" realized that his identity had been exposed. The simple, cautious, and flattering expression he had pretended to have disappeared in an instant, replaced by a fierce and vicious face.
He pushed the lacquer tray full of tea and fruit towards Mu Jin without hesitation, then quickly pulled out a sharp dagger from under the plate and stabbed it straight at Mu Jin!
"go to hell!"
Su Muxue screamed in shock. Seeing that the knife was about to stab Mu Jin, she saw that Mu Jin's calm and warm expression suddenly turned cold.
Mu Jin flew up and kicked the dagger of the "waiter" to the ground. She picked up the dagger from the ground suddenly. In just a moment, she saw a flash of bright knife light, and the dagger was pressed on the neck of the "waiter".
When Mu Jin's knife fell on the "waiter's" neck, several maids rushed into the private room.
"I am late, please forgive me, Miss Mu."
Several female guards disguised as maids who were standing at the stairs saw several men next to Mu Jin's private room running out in fear. They knew something was wrong. When they ran into the private room, they saw Mu Jin holding a short knife across the neck of a waiter.
"Tell me! Who sent you?"
The waiter had no idea that Mu Jin's Kung Fu was so amazing.
"I...I...I saw that the two girls must be daughters of wealthy families and were short of money recently, so I had evil intentions. I wanted to threaten the two girls with a knife in order to cheat them of some money. I didn't really want to kill them..."
Mu Jin pushed the knife in two more times, but before she could open her mouth to interrogate him, the fake waiter suddenly fell to the ground and died.
Mu Jin's face changed and he immediately went forward to check, and found a tiny needle hole on the waiter's neck.
"Oh no, someone doesn't want him to reveal the mastermind behind this." Mu Jin's heart sank.
She looked around and saw a dark shadow flashing outside the window.
"Chase!" Mu Jin picked up a dagger, protected Su Muxue in front of him, and watched several female guards rush out of the room.
