Mu Chen put down the teacup and said without hesitation: "Go, don't forget to come back and have dinner with father."

After what happened today, he felt that his daughter was smart and resourceful, and he felt a little more fond of her.

Mu Yun looked at the expression of Prince Rui Li Heng today and felt that he was very dissatisfied with Mu Jinan and wanted to join forces to kill Mu Jinan. Seeing that her father cared more and more about Mu Jinan, she could not wait any longer.

Mu Jinan took two maids and went to her aunt's mansion together.

When Mu Jinan walked in, he saw that the mansion was simple and elegant, with pavilions and towers that were restrained and majestic. It was twice as big as his own house.

She exclaimed, "Aunt is so lucky in her life. How can such a large house be left idle here?"

Nangong Yu touched her head. He hadn't seen her for a long time. In fact, he had already prepared gold, silver and treasures here. It was a surprise, but Mu Jinan didn't know about it and dismissed the guards who came from Xuanzhou halfway.

"If you like it, you can live here in the future, and you don't have to go back home to engage in intrigue."

Mu Jinan smiled bitterly. The fate of the marriage could only be changed by herself. How could she avoid it forever?

"Now that I have returned to Chang'an, I must finish my own journey"

Nangong Yu felt her loss of emotions:

"Then I'll stay a little longer and accompany you."

Mu Jinan pulled his arm, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Is what my cousin said true? If you don't return to Xuanzhou, who will take charge of the affairs of the clan?"

Nangong Yudao: "Father follows Mother every day, so let him suffer a little during this period of time."

Mu Jinan shouted happily, "That's great!" She excitedly turned around and around in the yard.

At this moment, she was free.

Nangong Yu's eyes were full of tenderness, feeling her joy.

Mu Jinan came to the Jinyu Pavilion in the inner courtyard and pushed open the door. Everyone widened their eyes in shock.

The house was filled with peach blossoms, each one fresh and pink, and they were placed in vases made of azure and green glass, making it feel like being in a sea of ​​flowers.

A peach tree is embroidered on the jade-inlaid gauze screen, and two wild geese are flying on the branches, looking lifelike.

Mu Jinan approached and saw that the room was filled with countless silk clothes, gold, silver and jewelry. They were extremely luxurious and glittering. She couldn't let go of the night pearl.

She said: "Cousin, this is the happiest day I have had since returning to Chang'an."

Nangong Yu signaled the maid to leave. He wanted to ask her for punishment, but seeing her happy, he whispered:

"Why did you send away the people who were escorting you? Do you know that this is dangerous?"

Mu Jinan looked at Nangong Yu with a guilty conscience and served him a cup of tea:

"Cousin, I'm grown up now and can protect myself. Look, I'm standing in front of you now, right?"

Mu Jinan smiled and caught his eye. An unnoticeable emotion flashed across his bright eyes, and he looked away:

"It's getting late, go to bed early"

He stood up and was about to leave without even looking at Mu Jinan.

Mu Jinan was a little confused. Why did he leave before he could even say a few words?

"cousin"

Nangong Yu stood in front of the door, his shoulders relaxed a little, and said only one word:

"Um"

His back was to Mu Jinan, so one couldn't tell the emotions on his face, except for a hint of doting in his response.

And a bit of forbearance.

In the dead of night, with a cool breeze and bright moon, everything was quiet as he sat in Shi'an Pavilion.

Mu Jinan tried on the clothes one by one, and his eyebrows were filled with joy:

"If you ask me, my cousin's aesthetic taste is much better than mine."

Nangong Yu put down the book in his hand, his eyes slightly raised and a smile on his lips.

Feel her joy.

In Jinyu Pavilion, Mu Jinan felt a little tired, so he leaned against the pink gauze curtain and closed his eyes.

I opened my eyes reluctantly, it was already Chou time.

She murmured, "I can't sleep."

Tossing and turning.

"I wonder how Li Huaijin is injured?"

I felt a little worried.

It was pitch black inside Shi'an Pavilion. Nangong Yu had his inner garment half-open, with a soft silk draped over his body. His bony fingers gently lifted the curtain.

There was a hint of jealousy in his dark eyes, feeling her loneliness, melancholy and longing.

Lips slightly parted:

"Only January?"

His eyes were cold.

The silent night seemed to be covered with a layer of soft fairy clothes. There was no pedestrian on the road. A carriage stopped on the long street.

The two men were covered in black and walked into the dim cell, which was only lit by a few candles. He walked with heavy steps.

The jailer opened the cell bars and saw Lu Mingxu lying on the ground, his white clothes stained with blood. There was a deathly silence in his eyes as he listened to the sound of the cell door being pushed open.

He slowly turned his head and looked up at the person's shoes and clothes.

He was dying, and after seeing clearly, he said:

King Liang, what are you doing here?

Li Huaijin leaned over, his cold face devoid of any warmth.

He took out a white jade ring that he was holding tightly in his hand:

"I found several rings in your house. I want to ask you, what do these rings represent?"

Lu Mingxu snorted coldly: "It's just an ordinary ring, nothing special..."

Li Huaijin stood up and turned his back to him.

Yun Chi pinched Lu Mingxu's mouth hard, threw a pill in, and then punched him in the face and body.

He was kicked out and his back hit the wall.

Lu Mingxu screamed in pain, and the drug took effect immediately: "Please spare my life, I will say"

Li Huaijin turned around and looked at him.

Lu Mingxu curled up in the corner in pain, muttering:

"The copper ring is of low quality, it can kill nobles and destroy scholars, while the white jade ring is of high quality, it can kill nobles and kings."

Li Huaijin's pupils suddenly widened. It seemed that these plans had been implemented for many years:

"What about the average?"

Lu Mingxu said: "The middle-level Jinyu is actually a supervisor, monitoring the copper ring and white jade, and can go in and out without a trace. If anyone rebels, they will be killed by Jinyu."

Li Huaijin waved his sleeves and said coldly: "Who ordered this?"

Lu Mingxu crawled forward a few steps, tears streaming down his face, his eyes full of anticipation, begging:

"If I tell you, can you save my life?"

Li Huaijin leaned over and said calmly:

"Are you qualified to negotiate? You have committed treason and your family has hundreds of people, but I can guarantee that your two sisters will not become official prostitutes."

Lu Mingxu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly began to kowtow, kneeling on the ground and kowtowed heavily, saying:

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Liang."

Then he told the truth:

"I only heard that the leader of the copper ring is a Sheng countryman who has been in Yuhe for many years. I have never seen him. The leader of the white jade is an important official of our dynasty. I don't know about the gold and jade."

Li Huaijin pondered for a moment: "Have the copper ring and white jade ever joined forces?"

Lu Mingxu said: "Yes, white jade can be made into a copper ring."

Li Huaijin had a gloomy face and asked him, "Who is in the court?"

Lu Mingxu whispered:

"I was greedy during this gold digging and didn't want to obey orders. Bai Yu sent me a treasure bestowed by the emperor, a blue glazed plate with eight-petaled round flowers and gold-painted patterns, to threaten and pressure me."

"I have seen that treasure in the palace before. Later I heard that His Majesty gave it to the late Concubine Hui. I don't know why it was passed out of the palace."

Li Huaijin asked: "Where is the treasure now?"

Lu Mingxu said: "Buried under the pomegranate tree in the inner hall of my mansion."

Li Huaijin signaled Yun Chi to let Lu Mingxu write down a confession and sign it.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Lu Mingxu endured the pain, bowed his head and said:

"Please, Prince Liang, protect my sister. It is me who has implicated them. I deserve to die."

Li Huaijin raised his eyes and said coldly: "I will do it"

Walk away.

The tall, godlike figure disappeared into the hell on earth.

On the carriage, he kept coughing, his face pale. Zezhou said worriedly:

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician has asked you to rest and recuperate, and not to work too hard and strain your mind."

Li Huaijin endured the discomfort in his body, leaned to one side, and said softly:

"Has she come to see me?"

Zezhou stammered, "The secret guard reported that Madam Mu went to live in Nangong Mansion."

Li Huaijin couldn't believe it, his bright eyes flashed with fire, and he said in shock:

"what?"

Her heart was filled with anger, and there was an indescribable bitterness. She was no longer eleven or twelve years old, but had already passed the age of marriage. A chill was rising:

"It is not proper for a single man and a single woman to live in the same house"

Li Huaijin was deep in thought, remembering today when he saw Mu Jinan trust Nangong Yu very much and the two of them cooperated very well, he couldn't help feeling anxious.

If I meet her again, I will never let her go.
