In danger, he traveled through time to save her, and the black-bellied prince doted on her

Li Huaijin said angrily: "What's the criticism?"

Mu Jinan sighed, lowered his head and walked forward:

"They said I was not polite, that I was engaged to someone else, and that I was having an ambiguous relationship with the King of Liang, and that I was seducing him."

Li Huaijin followed beside her, his deep eyes flashing with coldness:

"These people are probably jealous of you and me. Besides, if they want to seduce me, then I am the one who is using seductive tricks to seduce Madam Mu."

Mu Jinan said angrily:

"They say I am not polite. When my cousin left, he said the engagement was invalid. How come I am the one being criticized for being unfaithful?"

Li Huaijin's angry eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam of light. He stopped and pulled her sleeve, unable to hide his inner joy:

"Why didn't you tell the king earlier?"

Mu Jinan paused and asked in confusion, "What did you say earlier?"

Li Huaijin's eyes were bright and fiery, and the sunset reflected on his handsome face, adding a touch of tenderness:

"In this case, the engagement between you and Nangong Yu is cancelled. I will send a matchmaker to propose marriage tomorrow."

Mu Jinan's eyes turned slightly, and he immediately interrupted him: "No"

Li Huaijin's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his heart felt like it was hit hard by a stick:

"Why? Do you really like Nangong Yu?"

"You and the king have had physical contact... How can... you like two people at the same time?"

Mu Jinan frowned, she was furious. How could this person say intimate words at any time? He had no sense of shame. She also didn't like Nangong Yu:

"Li Huaijin, what nonsense are you talking about? That was just a kiss on the cheek. How could we have physical contact?"

"Besides, he's just my cousin."

Some people can't help but say: "I never said I like you"

Li Huaijin was anxious, and he asked:

"Although my dynasty has an open-minded people's morals, I kissed you, so intimately, if you don't marry me, who else can you marry?"

Mu Jinan thought about the poisonous insects in her body and couldn't help but feel anxious. She said:

"My Lord, besides saying these intimate and cheesy words every day, do you have any real work to do?"

Li Huaijin was so angry that he stuttered and his face turned slightly red:

"You are so powerful, but you have to rely on yourself for everything. I impeached Li Heng, but you scolded me. I really don't know what to do."

He spoke one sentence after another, his eyes full of grievance and innocence, and said out loud all the words that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time:

"How about I lower my posture to please you and show my goodwill to you? How can this not be a serious matter?"

"One does not know how long one will live, so satisfying one's expectations and treating the people one loves are as important as handling important matters in the court. They are both serious matters."

"In my heart, liking you and following you is my real job."

Mu Jinan was left speechless by his words. He opened his mouth and closed it again. He walked forward on his own, not wanting to pay attention to him.

Li Huaijin followed her, got on the carriage, took out the prepared envelope and handed it to her.

Mu Jinan looked at the large envelope and wondered:

"What is this?"

Li Huaijin's face was calm: "Open it and take a look"

Mu Jinan opened the envelope. On a piece of rice paper half a person's height was a densely packed list of names: Crown Princess Zhang Yanhe, Lin Xiang, Lu Zhifu, Shen Yuzhong...

There are about several hundred names, with clear records of their official positions, relatives, party affiliations, ages, hobbies, promotion and demotion times, reasons, etc.

Mu Jinan seemed to have forgotten what happened just now, his eyes sparkled and he exclaimed:

"Where did this come from?"

Seeing her happy, Li Huaijin said proudly:

"I have collected and drawn these figures. With these figures, you will know which people in the court you cannot offend easily, who you should be careful of, and how to restrain them... and deal with them skillfully."

Mu Jinan recalled that he had been able to find out about Li Heng's collusion with Yu He, so he must have some skills. Maybe he was planning something behind the scenes but just never told him.

Mu Jinan was full of smiles, and a gleam of light flashed across his eyes.

"My Lord, to thank you for your hard work in collecting this information for me, how about I invite you to Hu Yulou for a drink and music someday?"

Li Huaijin was so happy that he quickly agreed: "Okay, you treat me, and I'll pay for it."

I was a little confused again, hesitating:

"Jin'an, do you feel that your temper is somewhat unpredictable?"

"It's like... I can't put it into words... It's like two different people... But I feel like getting angry isn't your true behavior... Are you sick?"

Mu Jinan clenched the envelope in his hand, his bright peach eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and his pupils lost their color, as if his secrets had been exposed and the old wound in his heart was torn open.

She looked at Li Huaijin in disbelief, frowned, and uttered a few words

"What did you say?"

Li Huaijin saw her strange expression and immediately changed his words:

"I was just saying this casually, don't be angry."

Mu Jinan's throat seemed to be blocked. She closed her eyes and calmed down:

"Your Majesty, I will wait for you at Hu Yulou tomorrow night. I have something else to do and need to return home first."

Seeing that she was angry, Li Huaijin did not dare to anger her, so he whispered:

"it is good"

The carriage gradually disappeared on the long street, and Li Huaijin looked gloomy:

"I didn't say anything just now, what happened to her?"

Dark clouds covered the waning moon, the night was dark and silent, the cicadas' chirping disappeared, the candles in the house went out, and the wooden door creaked shut.

The bed curtains were changed to white. She opened her eyes, her heart ached slightly, and her lips were slightly pursed.

My thoughts go back to the past.

The sound of the clock hands ticking away could be heard on the white painted wall.

The three large red characters are clear and eye-catching.

1,2,3.

Two o'clock in the morning.

The moonlight shines through the white curtains, casting a few soft lights. There are only a few simple pieces of furniture in the room. The white iron bars on the headboard are freezing cold, and the white sheets are neat and clean.

Outside the white bed frame was a white iron cage.

Jiang Xueer curled up against the head of the bed, her long, shiny black hair spread out in front of her, her white dress was stained with blood, and her round, dark eyes were dead and empty.

She turned her head to look out the window, trying to see when dawn would come. Her eyelids drooped, and when she blinked, it was as if there was no window and she could see nothing.

Suddenly, a beam of light came on, it was the sound of turning on a light.

The sound of leather shoes "clacking" came from above her head along the stairs. She raised her eyes slightly and looked up. It was that hateful face.

The sound of leather shoes was getting closer and closer, the lock was opened, and the sound of the white iron cage chain falling pierced her heart.

Helian Yuan's tall figure approached her, sat beside the bed, and looked at her sideways:

"Xue'er, are you feeling better today? I heard that you didn't eat well these days."

Jiang Xueer sneered, with disdain in her eyes: "It's better to starve to death than to be locked up here."

Helian Yuan looked at the bloodstains on her white dress, his eyes sinister and violent:

"If you dare to commit suicide again, I will dig up Luo Nanxi's grave"

Jiang Xueer turned her head away and said with a crazy smile:

"When I die, you'd better grind my bones and scatter my ashes"

Helian Yuan was furious and grabbed her wrist with one hand:

"wanna die?"

"Unless I die"

"Otherwise, you will be locked up here for the rest of your life."

Jiang Xueer frowned, her eyes were red:

"Killing for one's own selfish desires is so cruel. This is a society ruled by law. Do you think you can escape?"

"Kill me if you can."

Helian Yuan brushed away her long hair, his dark eyes were as deep as a wolf's, and he opened his lips slightly:

"I finally found it, how could I let you die?"
