Love is deep but fate is shallow, this beautiful wife has waited for a thousand years

Mu Xiaoqiao, Shao Shi, Mu Xiaoya and a group of female relatives were imprisoned together, while the men were imprisoned in the prison opposite. Some maids could not help crying.

Mu Xiaoqiao frowned, "Why are you crying? There are no cowards in our Mu family. You are not allowed to cry."

Shao said slowly: "That's right, the Mu family is upright, there is nothing to be afraid of, don't cry."

"Mother, father..." Mu Xiaoqiao was most worried about Mu Huanan's health.

Shao sighed. She was worried too, but she knew Mu Huanan's character better. Looking at Mu Huanan lying in the cell opposite, her eyes were full of heartache.

This day and night seemed so long.

Ruan Haoyu hurried back to his residence in Nanrong from the general's mansion. As soon as he entered the door, he was pulled to the corner by Zhao Ning.

"Your Majesty, this is bad. Someone from the palace has sent us an order, ordering us to leave the capital within three days. If we don't leave, all previous alliances will become invalid. The Great Jin will expel us and declare war on the Southern Rong!"

Ruan Haoyu frowned, "Da Jin actually broke the contract?"

"I heard that the General's Mansion was suspected of treason and it seems to be related to our Southern Rong. The Emperor of Dajin is furious. Your Highness, you just went to the General's Mansion. What is the situation at the border?"

Ruan Haoyu shook his head, "They were all arrested."

"That's right," Zhao Ning said anxiously, "It was fine yesterday. What went wrong? What should we do now?"

Ruan Haoyu thought for a while and said, "Gather all the secret guards. In half an hour, gather at the back mountain of Jianning Temple on the outskirts of the city. Send a letter to my third brother immediately to strengthen the border defenses. Notify everyone to pack up and evacuate the capital first. Set up camp thirty miles outside the city and wait for my order."

"Yes, Your Highness." Zhao Ning hurried to do it. Ruan Haoyu returned to the study, wrote two letters, and sent a personal guard to keep an eye on the general's mansion. He then set off for Jianning Temple.

Ruan Haoyu had not been walking for long when he discovered someone was following him. He snorted coldly. The emperor had indeed sent people to monitor him. It seemed that this incident in the General's Mansion was probably someone's attempt to use him as a pretext. The Emperor of Dajin gave him three days because of his status, but in fact, he was probably already wary of him.

As the saying goes, when two countries are at war, envoys should not be killed. After all, his current identity is an envoy from the Southern Rong. The Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty does not want to give up the tempting conditions he brought, but is worried that he has a conspiracy. He can only have people monitor him until he leaves. This is a good plan. However, the Southern Rong is not afraid of war. If he really angers him, he, Ruan Haoyu, is not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by others.

Ignoring the people following behind him, Ruan Haoyu came to Jianning Temple with confidence, entered the temple, burned incense, and went to the abbot's room to discuss Buddhism with the abbot.

In fact, he had already escaped and reached the back mountain.

"Your Highness, the palace guards searched the general's mansion and found letters of treason in General Mu's study and General Mu Xiaoqiao's residence." The news came from the guards sent to monitor the general's mansion.

"Sure enough, someone framed me." Ruan Haoyu clenched his fists. The person who was able to put evidence in Mu Huanan's study and Mu Xiaoqiao's boudoir must be a thief. He had no doubt that the letters must have fabricated his dealings with the General's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Haoyu would become the knife used by others to attack the General's Mansion.

"Find a way to find out the situation in the Dali Temple prison. I want to know every detail. Keep an eye on the General's Mansion day and night. Also, find out if there is anyone in the General's Mansion who has not been arrested and imprisoned this time, and if there is anyone who has been acting suspiciously recently. Don't miss any clues." Ruan Haoyu's eyes were as sharp as torches.

His secret guards knew that their master was really angry this time.

Dali Temple Prison.

The servants were taken out for questioning one by one. When they came back, they were either dying or covered with scars from torture. Mu Jincheng was extremely angry and shouted outside, "Ask me if you have any questions. Why are you so cruel to the servants?"

"Jincheng, shut up." Mu Huanan scolded.

Mu Jincheng sat down angrily, "Father, what does the emperor mean? Is he doubting our Mu family?"

Mu Xiaoqiao said from the opposite side: "Father, there is something fishy about this matter. Think about it, have you offended anyone? Who is it that wants to frame our Mu family like this?"

Mu Huanan said, "In my life, I have fought on the battlefield and helped the emperor build the Jin Dynasty. I have never flattered anyone, and I can't stand those who curry favor with the powerful. I will not offend anyone unless they offend me. I haven't offended anyone, but there are many people who don't like me. I'm afraid that this time it's not just me who is offended, but the entire general's mansion."

Mu Xiaoqiao remained silent. This incident happened without any warning, so they were caught off guard and didn't even have time to react. Until now, they still had no idea who they had offended.

When the jailer came to pick up the people, all the servants were trembling with fear. For several days, no one summoned the masters of the Mu family.

During this period, Mu Huanan's health became worse and worse. He often held his chest tightly and gasped for breath. Although Doctor Du was by his side, he was helpless without medicine.

Mu Xiaoqiao also protested loudly and used threats and inducements, but no matter what, the jailers seemed not to hear him and ignored him.

In a blink of an eye, the Mu family has been imprisoned in the Dali Temple Prison for ten days. Mu Huanan and Mu Xiaoqiao gradually see the situation clearly. The General's Mansion is probably doomed this time. If the Emperor intends to let the General's Mansion go, it is impossible that he would not summon them for ten days in a row, unless he is ready to give up the General's Mansion.

During these ten days, Mu Xiaoqiao had no news of Ruan Haoyu, who was imprisoned in the Dali Temple Prison. She seemed to have lost her eyes and ears and could not get any news at all. Chen Taorui also had not appeared and no one knew where he was. Mu Xiaoqiao could only pray that he would not be discovered by the palace guards. At this moment, if one person could escape, they would escape. She even thought that if reinforcements came, she would send Xuemei out first and let the two of them go far away.

Everyone was becoming more and more haggard, and Mu Xiaoqiao was extremely anxious. On this day, she could not help but shout to the jailer, "I want to see the emperor, I want to see Lord Wang, the Minister of the Dali Temple."

Still no one paid any attention.

"Xiao Qiao, stop shouting." Mu Huanan leaned against the wooden fence. He no longer had the strength to stand up. He asked Mu Jincheng to come over and explain things to them.

"Xiao Qiao, Jin Cheng, the Mu family is in great danger this time. Father's old bones don't have much time left. It's hard for you siblings and your mother."

Shao couldn't help crying when she heard this, "Master, I'm not miserable. It's my greatest luck to be able to enter the general's mansion in this life."

Mu Xiaoqiao supported her mother and couldn't help crying.

"Father, mother, we will be fine. We have fought for the country for so many years. Your Majesty, you will definitely give justice to our Mu family." After Mu Xiaoqiao said this, he felt that he had no confidence in what he said.
