The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 325: Cheating the superiors and deceiving the subordinates, both are equally important

Once the identity of the person behind the scenes is known, all suspicions become clear.

Mu Qianyin was puzzled by the fact that the Queen asked Concubine Shu to assist in organizing the celebration banquet.

Prince Ning is only the third son of the current emperor, so even if it is to celebrate his success, the banquet will not be too complicated.

After all, she had the help of the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department, and the Queen was also surrounded by several maids who were familiar with the affairs of the palace.

There was no need for anyone else to assist at all, but the queen not only asked someone, but also asked the concubine to help.

When it comes to the relationships among the people in the harem, I'm afraid everyone knows how much Concubine Shu hates the Queen.

However, the Queen had always been kind and benevolent, so her desire to promote Concubine Shu, who had lost the Emperor's favor and whose son was oppressed, and to have her assist in the celebration banquet did not seem out of place. Instead, it would make people praise the Queen for her "virtue."

The Queen must have known that Concubine Shu would tamper with the celebration banquet for this play.

Sure enough, Concubine Shu invited girls from good families in the Beijing music hall to perform singing and dancing in the palace. She wanted to take advantage of this celebration banquet to stuff a few women into Prince Ning's mansion. Even if it couldn't shake Prince Ning's foundation, it would be great if it could cause the couple to turn against each other.

When she saw that Princess Ning, Mu Qianyin, was pregnant, she felt that it would be perfect if she could succeed in making Mu Qianyin so angry that she had a miscarriage!

She just didn't expect that her arrangement would provide an opportunity for the queen.

Isn’t this just like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it?

Unfortunately, the cicada was not caught, and the oriole was already impatient! Mu Qianyin was a little worried: "I guess the Queen didn't expect that the woman would not be able to commit suicide, but was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for stabbing Tian Xiao. He also personally ordered the Ministry of Justice to investigate. The old man Jiao Shuming of the Ministry of Justice has always had a way of interrogating, and he has countless cruel officials under his command. I am afraid that the truth behind this will sooner or later surface... Can the Queen sit still? Will she hate Tian Xiao so much that she wants to make a desperate move?"

When she said this, her heart tightened and her lips turned slightly pale.

Wu Tianxiao sat aside, looking at Mu Qianyin's face full of worry, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, like warmth, but more like heartache.

The woman caused a scene at the celebration banquet in Zhengyang Palace last night. Everyone around her was whispering, but Mu Qianyin was the only one who had no doubts about herself.

Thinking back to the days when he went to the border, because of the busy affairs after the reopening of trade, he sometimes took three to five days to write a letter back to Beijing. Sometimes he would express his longing for his mother, but more often, he would just say a few words to report that he was safe.

The woman must have known this very well, so she slandered him, saying that he had betrayed Yinyin and raped and killed her at the border... But facing the other party's convincing words, the simple-minded Mu Qianyin did not have any suspicion at all.

Such a pure and perfect woman, just because she married him, married into the royal family, had to face such a dirty situation. If she was not careful, her reputation would be ruined, and she had to deal with all kinds of calculations even when she was pregnant.

He originally wanted to embrace his wife, but in the end he just gently grabbed her hand and held it tightly: "Don't worry, the Queen now has the favor of the emperor, and the Concubine Shu is leading the charge. I'm afraid no one except us can guess what happened yesterday."

After he finished speaking, he saw that Mu Qianyin didn't believe him, so he turned his head and looked at Mu Rong.

The latter understood and nodded, "Third brother is right. The Queen is currently focused on how to push Concubine Shu to take the blame, and she can't spare time to deal with other matters for the time being."

Seeing their assurance, Mu Qianyin finally felt a little relieved. She looked at Wu Tianxiao solemnly, "I don't want to ask about what you and Rong Ge'er are planning, nor do I dare to be interested. I just hope that you... you are all safe. Never do something as dangerous as yesterday again. A self-torture scheme will only bring suffering to those who care about you."

Seeing that his wife was finally willing to talk to him, Wu Tianxiao naturally responded.

Mu Qianyin sighed deeply: "You know, when I stabbed him last night, the baby in my belly kicked me... I guess he was scared too."

This one sentence moved everyone in the room.

Wu Tianxiao lowered his head, his voice hoarse: "I will never be so reckless again, and I will definitely not do anything to make you and your son worry."

Mu Qianyin stopped talking and stood up and walked out.

Xu Rongrong was worried about her.

In addition, what Mu Rong and King Ning were discussing in the room was somewhat secretive, so she felt it was inappropriate to stay, so she followed Mu Qianyin out.

The door closed again.

Hearing the footsteps of the two people gradually disappearing, Wu Tianxiao raised his head and looked at Mu Rong, saying in a deep voice: "Why did you lose so much of your internal energy?"

Last night, when the woman attempted to assassinate him, Mu Rong used his palm to break her wrist strength, which caused her dagger to deflect.

Wu Tianxiao, who had practiced martial arts with Mu Rong since childhood, was well aware of his abilities. At the time, Mu Rong wasn't far from the woman, and with his internal energy, he could have knocked the dagger away.

But he didn't.

It was for this reason that Wu Tianxiao thought that Mu Rong was hinting that he could take advantage of the situation to suffer some minor injuries, which made him think slightly and take the initiative to meet the dagger.

But tonight, Mu Rong's questions proved that the other party had no intention of letting him use the self-torture trick at all.

Since Mu Rong didn't intentionally leave the dagger behind, it can only mean...

His attack was not powerful enough, so he could only absorb part of the woman's strength.

And this means that Mu Rong’s internal strength... has been damaged.

Wu Tianxiao's question made Mu Rong slightly stunned.

He didn't expect that Wu Tianxiao would see through his damaged internal strength so quickly.

He pondered for a moment, then smiled bitterly. "Come to think of it... it was all due to my own recklessness. A few days ago, I was too eager to achieve results while practicing, and ended up suffering internal injuries... Fortunately, the injuries have mostly healed now, but my internal strength still needs to recover."

Even if it was Wu Tianxiao who wanted to join forces with him to conspire to conquer the world, Mu Rong did not want the other party to know that his internal strength was damaged in order to detoxify Xu Rongrong. After all... if that day really came, he did not want his little girl to become the target of public criticism.

Although Mu Rong was a quiet man, he had never lied to him since childhood, so Wu Tianxiao naturally had no suspicions. He was just a little angry at Mu Rong's recklessness: "You are so old, and you are still so reckless when practicing martial arts! If your third sister-in-law knew, she would definitely scold you again."

Mu Rong smiled and said, "Then please help me keep it a secret, Third Brother. Also... as for Rongrong, please keep it a secret as well, Third Brother."

Wu Tianxiao's eyes widened when he heard this: "Great! You're so good at deceiving your sweetheart, but you exposed me directly in front of your third sister-in-law!"

If it weren't for Mu Rong today, I'm afraid Yinyin wouldn't be angry because of his deception!

Seeing this, Mu Rong smiled slightly: "It's because Third Brother was too reckless. That knife strike was indeed very scary."

Wu Tianxiao: "..."
