Mu Yi didn't dare to guess, but he was afraid that Meng Yunshang would really send him to Yanyu Tower to receive the reward.

He could only smirk, "I guess he must be serious. After all, you are skilled and courageous, and you are also very beautiful. You can tell at first glance that you are a good person."

He uttered the last word "good man" with clenched teeth.

I can't praise it enough. I really can't praise it enough.

Meng Yunshang was almost amused by him.

"I am indeed a good person. After all, I just beat you up and didn't send you to the police."

Mu Yi wanted to cry after hearing this, but he didn't dare to.

He was afraid that the female devil would poke his head with the spear again.

"I'll give you another stick of incense time. If the lock is still not opened by then..."

"No, I'll start right away!" Mu Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued working.

After being treated with both soft and hard tactics, Mu Yi's work efficiency increased rapidly.

Less than an incense stick of time passed before he heard the long-lost clicking sound.

Mu Yi breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously wanted to open the mask and take a look.

Just as he stretched out his hand, he heard Meng Yunshang's voice that sounded like a hellish Shura, "Don't you want your hand anymore?"

Mu Yi was so scared that he quickly withdrew his hand and said, "No, no, please come and inspect the results in person."

"Ten steps back, then turn around. Don't look back, or you'll be dead."

"okay!"

After making sure that Mu Yi would not turn around to peek, Meng Yunshang bowed to Emperor Yuan Qing again, "I'm sorry, brother."

Emperor Yuan Qing gestured to her to invite him in.

Meng Yunshang walked forward confidently, removed the opened copper lock, and twisted the mask to both sides.

The mask was soon removed and Emperor Yuan Qing finally saw the light of day again.

He let out a long sigh of relief, then bowed to Meng Yunshang, who quickly returned the gesture.

"Brother, please take a rest for a while. I will ask Fuling to come over and check your wound."

Emperor Yuan Qing nodded and was happy to accept such an arrangement.

Meng Yunshang waved at the quiet and obedient Huai'an again, "Mother has to go take care of some things outside. Can you stay here with uncle and wait for Fuling to come?"

"Don't worry, mother. Huai'an will definitely be able to take good care of uncle."

"It's great that my baby can help me share the burden."

The child who was praised stood on tiptoe to assure his mother, "Huai'an can be even better."

Meng Yunshang touched his little face and turned to walk out.

Mu Yi followed her with great vigilance, "Aunt, what you promised me..."

Meng Yunshang was not vague and asked him as they walked, "Silver ounces or a house, pick one."

"I see that you are very powerful now. You must be the mistress of some high-ranking family. How about you take me in and I will work for you in the future?"

Mu Yi is not stupid. He knows the difference between short-term rewards and long-term support.

In addition, he has made many enemies while traveling far and wide over the years. Even if Meng Yunshang can help him deal with Yanyu Tower temporarily, there is no guarantee that other enemies will not come knocking on his door.

Instead of living in fear all the time, it is better to surrender to the little evil star. At least you will not have to worry about food and clothing and can sleep peacefully in the future.

Meng Yunshang happened to walk out of the tent. When she heard Mu Yi's words, she turned around and looked at him with a smile, "Do you think I look like a fool?"

"How can this be considered a sucker? I am the best in martial arts in Qinggong, and I can also use my empty hands. You won't suffer any loss if you accept me."

"The best in Qinggong?"

The number one in the martial arts world was chased by her for a whole day and night?

"There are wonderful hands with nothing, so you won't suffer any loss?"

Which good person would think about stealing things every day?

Mu Yi was broken by her disgusted look, "You, just tell me whether you want to keep me or not."

"It's not impossible for you to stay and retire, but the two reasons you mentioned are not enough."

"What else to do?"

"Remember Ling Yu who just brought you here? She's pretty good at Qing Gong as well. If you beat her, you can stay and get a job."

"really?"

This time Meng Yunshang didn't try to trick him again, but nodded affirmatively, "Really!"

After getting the promise, Mu Yi was very excited, "Okay, I'll go find her right away."

Late at night, in the silent prison, Lu Chenxiao had no desire to sleep.

What happened during the day flashed through his mind like a kaleidoscope.

The incident happened suddenly and he had not had time to explain it to Shang'er in detail. He didn't know whether she could understand the deep meaning of his move.

Lu Youlin is still young. If he really encounters trouble, he will not only be unable to help Shang'er, but will also be a hindrance.

There is also the royal brother, with whom he is difficult to communicate and cannot be seen in public. If Concubine Chen and her son maliciously target him, he will only cause trouble for Shang'er.

The more Lu Chenxiao thought about it, the more he felt that he was impulsive today.

He should have made arrangements for Shang'er before returning to Beijing with Lu Yuanjing.

Just as he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, he heard the sound of footsteps outside the cell.

Lu Chenxiao closed his eyes and dozed off.

The footsteps stopped in front of the prison door, and then Lu Yuanjing's voice was heard, "Go in and splash some water on him to wake him up."

"Absolutely not, Your Highness!"

Eunuch Shun subconsciously tried to stop him, but was kicked by Lu Yuanjing, "You little dog slave, you have no right to speak!"

"It's true that King Heng is very skilled in martial arts. If he attacks us, we're afraid..."

"You useless coward!" Lu Yuanjing snorted in disdain, grabbing Eunuch Shun by the collar and pushing him forward, "Then go wake him up."

Eunuch Shun was pushed and staggered. After he stood firm, he tiptoed inside.

After walking a few steps, he found that Lu Chenxiao was staring at him with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Eunuch Shun's legs softened and he knelt down in front of the bed, "Heng, His Royal Highness Prince Heng..."

"It's really you!"

There are only a few people in the entire Yuan Dynasty who can secretly knock the emperor unconscious and let Lu Yuanjing take the blame.

Eunuch Shun is the one who is closest to the water tower.

Eunuch Shun felt his scalp tingling when he was looked at, but he still tried to play dumb, "What is your Highness Prince Heng saying? How come I don't understand?"

Lu Chenxiao sneered, "When the city gate catches fire, the fish in the pond will be affected. How long do you think Lu Yuanjing will let you, an insider, live?"

Eunuch Shun's eyes darkened and the fingers hidden in his sleeves trembled slightly.

How could he not know this simple truth?

But now, he has no way out.

"Lu Chenxiao, stop spreading rumors and misleading people," Lu Yuanjing scolded angrily.

"Killing the king in public means death. Do you still think you are the high and mighty Prince Heng?"

"You will be able to reunite with your good brother in the underworld soon."

"Really?" Lu Chenxiao asked indifferently, "If that's the case, then why are you staying up late at night to bother me?"

"Of course I'm here to witness your downfall," Lu Yuanjing announced arrogantly.

He looked as if he had already reached the pinnacle of power, looking down upon Lu Chenxiao who had been relegated to the dust by him.

"Lu Chenxiao, no matter how arrogant you are, you have fallen into my hands now."

Lu Chenxiao sneered, "Are you sure you will have the last laugh?"

"Of course! Everything is under my control. You can no longer cause any trouble."

Lu Chenxiao sneered silently. For such a fool, he didn't even want to admit that they had the same father.

Seeing that he was silent, Lu Yuanjing thought that his words had worked, and said smugly, "You don't know yet, your good princess is flirting with Qin Yimo right now."

Lu Chenxiao: “???”
