Mu Jinan just wanted to keep the peace, so she took out the handkerchief from her waist and was about to stand on tiptoe when Li Huaijin bent his knees, lowered his body, and looked at her straight in the eye.

Mu Jinan's eyes flickered, and his handkerchief gently brushed across his cheeks and forehead.

Li Huaijin nodded with satisfaction:

"I'll let you go today"

Mu Jinan felt relieved, immediately took back the handkerchief, and bowed:

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Liang"

As for the matter of the armory in He Cheng's mansion, Mu Jinan learned about it from the large page of relationship chart of court figures on the desk.

But she no longer remembered that this was a gift from Li Huaijin.

Li Huaijin watched her figure go away, his eyes somewhat gentle:

"The little fox is quite clever and learns quickly"

After leaving the palace, Zezhou looked around in the carriage and reported in a low voice:

"Your Highness, Song Hao from the Ministry of Justice sent me a white jade ring, saying that Prince Chen was assassinated a few days ago. The assassin confessed that he was assigned by a masked man. The man also said that the masked man's eyes looked like those of a Hu person."

Li Huaijin pondered for a moment: "Before this, the masked man was just a copper ring, now I will assign Baiyu..."

"Assassinate the princes, the Hu people"

"There is a new Hu man in the court recently, who was recommended to the prince by Huaiyu."

Li Huaijin's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he paused, his eyes were cold, and his tone was cold:

"It's better to kill by mistake"

"Tonight, have Yun Chi bring a master to bring the Hu man to the palace and prepare the mask."

"Let Song Hao bring the assassin to the palace as well."

"This king will personally judge"

Zezhou went to do business.

Inside the Jixue Pavilion in Prince Liang's Mansion, Li Huaijin flipped through the portraits one by one. These were portraits of important figures from the surrounding ethnic groups, sent back by his eagle guards from each ethnic group.

He looked at the faces carefully.

I saw a portrait of a man with a Hu face, deep eye sockets, and a handsome look.

Thinking of Princess Huaiyu, he lowered his eyes and thought deeply.

The night was originally quiet and dark, but after a while, the wind howled, thunder and lightning rolled, and heavy rain poured down.

In the dungeon of Prince Liang’s mansion.

Song Hao is the son-in-law of the Minister of War He Cheng.

He looked solemn, about twenty years old, dressed in black, and said respectfully:

"Meet His Royal Highness Prince Liang"

Li Huaijin raised his hand and looked at the prisoner behind him. Three of his fingers were broken and the smell of burnt tongs was still on his body. His eyes were covered and his mouth was gagged.

Li Huaijin's lips curled up into a smile:

“The attack was not light”

Song Hao lowered his eyes, knelt down immediately and said: "Your Majesty, I am not doing my job well."

Li Huaijin had a somewhat unruly look on his face, leaning against the vermilion chair, and moved his index finger:

"Get up"

“I didn’t say you did a bad job.”

Song Hao was terrified. The water dungeon was obviously freezing cold, but he was shocked by Li Huaijin's aura. He broke out in a cold sweat on his back and slowly stood up.

As soon as Song Hao turned around, he was frightened by the person hanging in front of him. The man was shirtless, with holes all over his body, his eyes were staring, and blood was all over his body.

Tongue sticking out.

Song Hao just felt a little nauseous and wanted to vomit, but he didn't dare to make a sound and just endured it.

Li Huaijin looked at him as he took a few steps back, a hint of disdain flashing across his eyes.

The low and contemptuous voice sounded like the King of Hell judging the life and death of mortals.

"He is a traitor who colluded with foreign races"

"Saving him alive is also a gift"

Although Song Hao was used to all kinds of torture in the Ministry of Justice, every time he saw the prisoners in Li Huaijin's hands, he would be horrified and have nightmares at night.

Yun Chi took the prisoner away.

Zezhou stepped forward and brought the Hu man Zhu Wuyou forward.

Blood was still flowing from Zhu Wuyou's chest, and drops of blood seeped into the water dungeon, dyeing the pool water red.

He was wearing a mask on his face and there was indeed a scar on the palm of his hand. Not long after Mu Jinan returned to Chang'an, he was assassinated in front of Princess Xianning's mansion. The scar was exactly the same as the one confessed by the assassin.

Song Hao signaled the people from the Ministry of Justice to remove the cloth covering the assassin's eyes, with a fierce look in his eyes:

"Do you know him?"

The assassin looked at Zhu Wuyou in front of him, looked into his eyes, and nodded quickly: "It was him. He asked me to kill King Chen."

"it's him"

Seeing Li Huaijin's cold expression, Song Hao covered the assassin's mouth.

He looked at Li Huaijin respectfully and said seriously: "Assassinating Prince Chen is a capital crime. I will take him back to the Ministry of Justice to deal with him, so as not to offend the prince."

Then leave.

Zhu Wuyou was brought forward, his mask fell off, and Li Huaijin looked at his face, his eyes full of murderous intent:

"What is your purpose in approaching Huaiyu?"

Zhu Wuyou lowered his eyes and pretended to be innocent:

"Your Highness Prince Liang, I met the princess by chance. The princess took pity on me and took me in as her guard. She didn't have any other purpose."

Li Huaijin raised his chin, closed his eyes, looked a little annoyed, frowned, and moved his fingers.

Yun Chi picked up Zhu Wuyou and punched him in the face. There was blood at the corner of his mouth:

"what--"

Yun Chi hit Zhu Wuyou's chest hard, and the wound seemed to be torn apart. He was dragged to the ground by Yun Chi and thrown to the ground like a piece of clothing.

His heart seemed to be broken, he stared with his eyes wide open, his face grim and he shouted:

“Ah – spare my life.”

Yun Chi didn't wait for him to react, he picked him up and knelt in front of Li Huaijin. Zhu Wuyou's face turned pale and he said in pain:

"It's Prince Rui. The white jade and the copper ring are all his."

“It was also he who brought me close to the princess.”

......

Li Huaijin felt a little sleepy, and slowly opened his eyes, looking relaxed:

"Does Minister Lin have the right to appoint Baiyu?"

Zhu Wuyou nodded and said, "Yes, but very little."

Li Huaijin stood up and looked at the blood-stained pool in the water dungeon with a cold look in his eyes:

"Do you want to die here or leave Huaiyu?"

Zhu Wuyou quickly begged for mercy:

"Your Majesty, I will leave tonight."

Yun Chi took Zhu Wuyou away. Li Huaijin's pupils were dark and he said coldly:

'Keep an eye on him'

Zezhou said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Time flies, lotus leaf skirts, ripples on the water, red silk cloth has been hung in the Mu Mansion, and everyone's face is filled with joy.

The big red "囍" characters were pasted on the door and windows of Xiyue Hall.

The wind blew and the glazed wind chimes in the corridor rang.

Sweet potato ran into the house anxiously:

"Madam, the Major General is back."

Mu Jinan's complexion is rosy. He has been eating well and sleeping well recently and is recovering well.

She put down the military book in her hand and asked doubtfully:

"Didn't you say you would be back in a few days?"

Fanshu said happily: "The young general wants to catch up with your big day and send you off to get married. Madam, get up quickly and go to Mu Ning Zhai."

Mu Jinan quickly stood up, and several people came to Mu Ningzhai. There was a group of people standing in the room. Mu Chen was smiling happily, and Madam Zheng was laughing heartily.

Mu Jinan stood in front of the door, a ray of sunlight shone on her, and she looked bright and charming in her red skirt.

Mu Jingyi raised his eyes and looked at her standing outside the house, feeling a little dazed. They looked so alike.

Mu Jingyi's bright eyes were a little moist. He walked out of the house and looked at Mu Jinan.

Mu Jinan saw that his eyes were like cold stars, he was full of energy, he was wearing silver-white armor, and the young general looked heroic and proud.

He looked at her with a little more tenderness and took her hand:

"Sister, you have grown so tall"

"Yes, so much like my mother."

Just as Mu Jinan was about to speak, he pulled her over and hugged her tightly:

"Sister, I heard you suffered a lot"

"I'm sorry I haven't been with you all these years"

"Are you feeling well? Did you eat a lot?"

"Brother has saved a lot of money, and I will give it all as your dowry"

He asked one question after another and Mu Jinan had no time to answer.
