I survived as a female assassin

"It seems that Sixth Brother has made a lot of progress recently. Haven't you always wanted to enter the Dali Temple?"

"Second brother thought it was no longer a problem."

Mu Yuan really knew where his pain points were.

The Prince of Ning, who was so full of confidence just now, now looked as droopy as an eggplant hit by frost...

"Second brother always rubs salt into my wounds. As my grandfather and mother said, which prince in history would serve in the Dali Temple?"

"All my efforts were undone by just one sentence..."

Mu Yuan walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder. "Sixth Brother, your analysis is correct. The death of Yuzhixian proves that you are right. It's just that you acted too loudly and alerted the enemy."

Mu Hongrui suddenly became much more sober and knew that his second brother understood him best!

"I think so too! It's just that I'm alone and no one has reminded me of this. Thank you, second brother."

Mu Yuan laughed, "So I have to thank my second brother?"

"Then what I'm going to say next, won't you be grateful to your second brother?"

His words immediately piqued Mu Hongrui's curiosity. He smiled with his big white teeth showing, "What's the matter, second brother?"

"Hurry up, hurry up, please stop keeping me in suspense!"

"I've told you everything..."

"You also know that the emperor has given this case to me, the Eastern Palace, to investigate fully, so I thought if you, Sixth Brother, don't mind, you could help Second Brother."

Mu Hongrui thought he was hallucinating and asked uncertainly, "What?"

"Second brother, is that what I think it means?"

"You mean I can investigate the case with you?!"

"Did I hear that correctly?"

Mu Yuan continued, "I heard that you have acquaintances in the Dali Temple. You must keep a close eye on the body of the Jade Hairpin Immortal. Also, don't mention the matter of helping my second brother to anyone."

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

As Mu Hongrui spoke, he imitated others and bowed to Mu Yuan.

He didn't expect that his second brother would trust him so much. He would not let his second brother down and would find out the real culprit behind the scenes!

After coming out of the Eastern Palace, he was invited to the Dingguo Marquis Mansion by his grandfather's men. His grandfather just lectured him about his behavior in the court and told him not to get too close to the prince, etc. These were the only things he had heard since he was a child, and his ears were almost callused from hearing them.

I don't know why grandpa hates my second brother so much...

But he always just keeps nodding his head and saying yes and yes, everything will be fine.

After leaving the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, he always felt that someone was following him, and he couldn't understand why his grandfather did this.

Thinking of his second brother's advice to him that he must be low-key and cautious in his actions, he decided to take the enemy by surprise.

He did not return to Prince Ning's Mansion and stayed directly at the Yuemanlou Inn.

What he never expected was that the woman with the poisonous mouth actually lived next door to him...

I don’t know why Brother Xin would fall in love with this kind of woman.

"Hey, Brother Xiahou, I'm asking you a question. Are you still asleep?"

Xin Youran asked again, completely interrupting his thoughts.

"Oh, I didn't sleep very well last night..."

As he said this, Xia Hou Rui also yawned.

"I have other things to do recently, so I'm staying in Yuemanlou. It will be convenient for Brother Xin to find me."

One person found the breakfast bland, another found it tasteless, and another felt very satisfied.

By the end of the meal, the satisfied guests praised the food again and again, saying, "I didn't expect the breakfast at Yue Man Lou to be so delicious."

"I haven't had such a satisfying meal in a long time..."

"Waiter, check out!"

Xia Hou Rui quickly stopped her, "Brother Xin, you don't have to pay. I've already booked a room here for a month and paid a sufficient deposit. You can just deduct the cost of food and lodging from my account. Don't worry about it."

Xin Youran: This Xiahou Rui is truly wealthy...

Leng Yue: Humph, such a high-profile playboy will squander all his family fortune sooner or later!

"Hehe, thank you very much, Brother Xiahou."

"I wonder what happened to the incense master..."

Since she has encountered this, it would be more reassuring to ask. This is an important part of her next plan!

Xiahou Rui fanned himself and took a sip of tea to clear his mouth. When he heard this question, the confidence on his face faded a little.

"Master Qiu has a rather strange personality. He only recognizes objects and not people. Brother Xin will have to go there in person."

Xin Youran understood what he meant. This was normal. Only people like him could be called masters!

In a materialistic society, he is still able to remain unafraid of power and stick to his principles. Xin Youran even wants to give him a thumbs up.

"No problem. When would be a good time for us to go?"

"I'll have to trouble Brother Xiahou to lead the way..."

Xin Youran said as she refilled Xiahou Rui's cup of tea.

"Every day at this time, Master Qiu would be worshipping Buddha in Jingxinzhai."

"Have you finished eating?"

"We're leaving now just as he finishes his worship."

Xin Youran originally wanted to take another sip of the eight-treasure porridge, but when she heard Xia Hou Rui say this, she quickly put down the bowl in her hand.

Then he looked at Leng Yue and found that she had already sat upright with her arms folded across her chest, closing her eyes to rest...

Well, she is the biggest eater.

The three of them got into Xiahou Rui's carriage together. Well, this carriage was the most luxurious carriage Xin Youran had ever ridden in!

The surface of the carriage is decorated with gold carvings, which is extremely gorgeous.

Even the two lanterns hanging in front of the car were hollow bamboo carvings. The curtains were made of exquisite silk and smelled fragrant. I don't know what kind of cushions were on the seats, but they were very soft.

The young master really knows how to enjoy life.

In the carriage, Xin Youran humbly asked Xiahou Rui what Jingxinzhai was. He looked surprised, but then he understood that it was normal for people from outside the place not to know about Jingxinzhai.

"Jingxinzhai is a temple built with government funds, used for worshiping Buddha, chanting scriptures and practicing meditation."

"Master Qiu is a frequent visitor here. Let's go. He should have finished his worship by now."

"My men have already found out the route he takes every time he returns home."

"Let's have a beautiful encounter with Master Qiu~"

Leng Yue watched Xia Hou Rui put away his fan and said the words "beautiful encounter" with a sweet smile on his face, just like a peacock spreading its tail...

He couldn't help but roll his eyes towards the sky. If Xueying hadn't insisted on meeting that Master Qiu, he would never have been in the same frame with Xiahou Rui!

The people under Xiahou Rui were really reliable. They soon had a beautiful encounter with Master Qiu. However, Master Qiu did not think so. He recognized Xiahou Rui at a glance.

"rather……"

Just as he was about to open his mouth to greet him, Xia Hou Rui beat him to the punch, "Master Qiu, what a coincidence!"

"I went to your house yesterday to hand in my visiting card, but I didn't see you. I didn't expect to run into you again. It really is fate!"

Xia Hou Rui said this while blinking madly at people.

"Master Qiu" understood what he meant, wondering what this guy was up to. "Haha, it really is fate."

"In that case, how about coming to my Zen room to reminisce about the past?"

Let's see what you're going to do next.

"Then I'd rather obey than be respectful~"
