People always think I'm a broken sleeve

After Qiu Qingxi took Mu Rui and the servant away with a dark face, all the guests in the Mu Mansion bid farewell to Mu Hongyuan who knew each other well.

Mu Rui was arrested, and this kind of incident happened again, how could Mu Hongyuan still have any intentions to continue holding such a birthday banquet.

The guests took their leave one after another and left Mu's mansion. After a while, only Mu Hongyuan and a few servants in the mansion were left in place.

Mrs. Mu, who had been watched by the officers and soldiers before, so she couldn't come out to see what was going on, finally came late.She stared blankly at the scene in front of her, and then looked dull

Turning around, he looked at Mu Hongyuan who was standing silently beside him.

Mrs. Mu's voice trembled: "Husband... Husband, what happened? Why did the officers and soldiers come to the mansion? And where is my Ruier? Why didn't I see him?"

When Mu Rui was mentioned, Mu Hongyuan didn't speak. He stood there quietly for a long time, until the wick in the servant lamp was almost burnt out, then he turned and walked away without saying a word.

That vicissitudes of the back, as if all of a sudden aged 20 years.

On the other side, after Su Bian left Mu's residence, he boarded a sedan chair and went back to the residence with Bi Zhu who had been waiting outside.

Bizhu thought that it would take two or three hours for Su Bian to leave the mansion, but she didn't expect to come out in less than an hour, and she couldn't help feeling very surprised for a moment.

Bizhu was puzzled, "Why did your lord come out so soon?"

Su Bian's expression was indifferent: "The birthday banquet ended early."

Bi Zhu responded with a vague understanding, then suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, the servants seem to have seen some officers and soldiers enter the Mu Mansion just now, and it seems that something important has happened...

Are you all right, my lord? "

Su Bian replied calmly: "It's just a trivial matter, nothing to do."

Will the court ministers and officers and soldiers be mobilized for trivial matters...

Bi Zhu was puzzled, but since her lord had replied like this, Bi Zhu didn't ask any more questions.

Inside the sedan chair, Su Bian glanced expressionlessly at the same soft and warm palm as his right hand, and quietly looked away.

Su Bian said that he was left-handed...in fact, he was lying.

The purpose is just to make the fact that he is not the murderer more convincing.

Although he lied, the fact that he was indeed not the murderer cannot be discussed.

Therefore, Su Bian naturally has a clear conscience.

Su Bian sat in the sedan chair, thinking that no one would see his lie, but in fact Xuan Yue had already seen through it.

Xuan Yue has always had a good memory.

He clearly remembered that on the first night when Su Bian came to the capital, when he was a 'guest' in his mansion, whether he was eating or drinking tea, he always used his right hand.

The so-called left-handed person... is basically a lie to deceive Murui and his subordinates.

Xuan Yue lay lazily halfway in the sedan chair, and when he thought of Su Bian's expressionless expression lying in front of Qiu Qingxi and everyone just now, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly

.

interesting...so much fun...

Xuan Yue's eyes are curved, and the shimmering eyes are full of smiles that cannot be concealed.

Smiling and laughing, Xuan Yue suddenly sighed with regret.

It's a pity that he is not masculine.

If he had been interested in male sex, Xuan Yue would have taken Su Bian under his command.

However, although Xuanyue has no intention of male sex, but for some reason...

Every time Xuan Yue saw Su Bian's unsmiling and cold face, he couldn't help but feel a desire to take off Su Bian's clothes and see how Su Bian would react.

The impulse to respond.

Xuan Yue thought casually, Su Bian who was sitting in the sedan chair on the other side shivered suddenly.Chilled back.

But after this incident, Su Bian believed that no matter how ignorant Mu Hongyuan was, he would obediently give up the idea of ​​establishing a relationship with the Zhuang Mansion.

Although Su Bian has always been afraid of trouble, but it only takes a few hours to solve the trouble once and for all. This deal is still worthwhile.

Although Mu Rui and Jin Lin put in a lot of effort to frame Su Bian, in the eyes of Su Bian, who has watched countless legal programs, it was nothing short of child's play.

But I can also understand that this place is not like the 21st century, where science and technology are advanced, and people's thinking is also advanced. Naturally, there are many ways and means of killing people, and they are also more perverted.

What's more, Mu Rui and Jin Lin just had a temporary idea, how could they be so meticulous that they even wanted to put in pieces of porcelain, chairs and other things, and they could think of throwing a few vases to fake Bai Ning

The evidence of the struggle with Yue Zixin is already very good.

And... they didn't know that Su Bian was 'left-handed'.

The two of them made thousands of calculations, but they didn't calculate that Su Bian was left-handed, that Su Bian could guess that the clothes were on the servant's body, and that Xuan Yue loved Su Bian so much that he could be his own relative.

From the extent of the shot.

But these are only secondary.

The last thing the two of them didn't expect was that Su Bian was not a waste.

It was not only beyond Mu Rui's expectation, but also beyond Qiu Qingxi's expectation.

Qiu Qingxi took Mu Rui and his servants to the torture room of the Taiqing Yuan for interrogation. After interrogating for a while, he learned that Jin Lin was actually involved.

But after all, Jinlin is a relative of the emperor, and if he wants to be arrested and brought to justice, he must obtain the consent of the emperor.

So now, even if Qiu Qingxi knew that it was Jin Lin who made the plan, there was nothing he could do about it.

But after Mu Rui truthfully explained all the process, Qiu Qingxi couldn't help being startled.

If at that time Prince Lin wanted his servants to get the cloak, Zhuang Duxin...it was because Su Bian didn't realize it, and let the servants slip away smoothly and left Mu's mansion...At that time, even if he was aware of it

Isn't it difficult to remove the suspicion of the porcelain shards on it, and the left-handed person?

If it wasn't for that dress, he wouldn't have suspected Murui at all.

Because it's true that Mu Rui has deep feelings for Bai Ning and Yue Zixin, and it's true that Su Bian... oh no, it's also true that Zhuang Duxin is a good man.

But the question is... how did he realize it?

Qiu Qingxi frowned and questioned this.

Na Murui thought about this point all the way, but couldn't figure it out.

In the torture room, after being punished, Mu Rui looked extremely haggard and pale.

He lowered his head and murmured: "I don't know... Just as Brother Lin was about to send the servants away, Zhuang Du... Lord Jiuqing suddenly ordered that everyone in the mansion not leave the mansion without authorization.

If you dare to leave, you will be punished as a criminal. "

Qiu Qingxi listened with a delicate expression.

Qiu Qingxi frowned, "Zhuang... Master Jiuqing really said that?"

Murui twitched the corner of his mouth, and replied, "Not a single word was missed."

When Qiu Qingxi heard this, not only did the wrinkles between his brows not ease, but they became more and more dignified.

Qiu Qingxi had a weird expression on his face, and he couldn't let go of what happened in the Mu Mansion tonight for a long time.At this time, Su Bian, who had returned to the Zhuang Mansion, had completely forgotten about this matter.

The next day he went to court as usual, and what happened in the Mu Mansion last night did not have any impact on Su Bian.

Those who should go up are going up, those who should be in a daze are in a daze, and after the time has passed like before, they are ready to go down.

On this day, when he and Xie Daochen were about to go to court together, Qiu Qingxi, who used to ignore Su Bian, unexpectedly found him.

Qiu Qingxi stopped in front of Su Bian uncharacteristically, causing Su Bian to be slightly taken aback.

Xie Daochen who was standing beside him was also startled.

Qiu Qingxi cupped his hands and said quietly: "Master Jiuqing, Lord Mu Xiaohou and his subordinates have confessed truthfully, and the fact of framing Your Excellency has been proven. How should we deal with it?"

After hearing this, Su Bian was taken aback again.

Because he remembered that he had told Qiu Qingxi that no matter how big or small it was, it was up to Qiu Qingxi to decide for himself and not to ask him.

When Xie Daochen heard that he had framed Su Bian, his face suddenly became ugly. He frowned and asked, "...framed?"

Regarding this matter, Su Bian obviously didn't take it to heart, he wrote lightly: "It's just a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning, General Xie doesn't need to take it to heart."

The word trivial in Su Bian's mouth caused Qiu Qingxi's eyelids to twitch.

After replying to Xie Daochen, Su Bian turned his attention to Qiu Qingxi again.

Su Bian said in a deep voice: "Since the evidence of the crime is conclusive, we can deal with it as we have done in the past. You don't have to ask me."

Qiu Qingxi's face darkened again and again, and he subconsciously said: "What if the officials just punished Xiaohou Mu a little, and then let Xiaohou Mu go back?"

Su Bian still looked indifferent, "That's Mr. Shaoqing's business."

Su Bian's words have clearly revealed that he doesn't care about the affairs of Taiqing's courtyard.

Hearing this, Qiu Qingxi's face was almost blackened.

If it was before, Qiu Qingxi thought that Su Bian had no talent and had nothing to say, so that's all.

I know that I don't have the ability to deal with the affairs of Taiqing's court, so I don't care about the affairs of Taiqing's court, that's justified.

Qiu Qingxi can understand.

But last night regarding the matter of the Mu Mansion, Qiu Qingxi found out that Su Bian was not just full of words, and was even better than him, the young minister of the Taiqing Academy... Therefore, Qiu Qingxi was completely useless.

The law understands.

But after what Su Bian said just now, Qiu Qingxi suddenly realized again.

Judging from Su Bian's performance in the court these days, plus what Su Bian just said...

Qiu Qingxi understood.

——What kind of self-knowledge is it? It's just that I don't care about it!

Qiu Qingxi's face was so dark that it couldn't be darker. Just as he was about to continue to question, he saw that Su Bian had walked around him and left together with Xie Daochen.

Qiu Qingxi stood there watching Su Bian's leaving back for a few seconds, then turned around, and went to see Emperor Jin.

The reason is naturally also a matter of the Mu family.

Thinking that the Lord is completely indifferent, but it is he, the Shaoqing of Taiqing Yuan, who is doing his best, Qiu Qingxi's face becomes more and more ugly.

The eunuch Shunde reported to Emperor Jin the news that Qiu Qingxi wanted to see him, and Emperor Jin just sat down in the imperial study room and was about to approve Naoshizi's papers.

Qing Xi wanted to see him, and he immediately agreed without saying a word.

Qiu Qingxi came to the imperial study room with the court lady, the court lady stopped outside the imperial study room, Qiu Qingxi stepped into the imperial study room, before his feet could stand firmly, Emperor Jin greeted him enthusiastically

.

Emperor Jin warmly greeted: "Come, come, Aiqing, sit down quickly. If you have anything to say, remember to tell me slowly, as slowly as you can."

Emperor Jin would rather spend a whole day talking nonsense in the imperial study with someone than sit in front of the dragon case and criticize some ghost notes.

Hearing this, Qiu Qingxi frowned. Although he always liked to make short stories, since Emperor Jin ordered him to do so, Qiu Qingxi had no choice but to follow suit.

Qiu Qingxi brought together what happened in Mu's mansion yesterday, together with the confessions made by Mu Ruiqi's servants, that Emperor Jin thought he didn't take Qiu Qingxi's words to heart

, the more I listened, the more fascinated I became unknowingly.

After hearing this, Emperor Jin asked curiously: "How did Zhuang Aiqing know that the clothes were worn by the servants?"

Qiu Qingxi shook his head, "I'm stupid, I haven't figured it out yet."

Unexpectedly, even Qiu Qingxi, who had always been extremely intelligent, didn't know, Jin Emperor couldn't help but take a low breath.

Emperor Jin sighed in a low voice: "Zhuang Aiqing is really extraordinary, I chose him as Jiuqing, I really chose him..."

When Qiu Qingxi heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

Qiu Qingxi frowned and said, "Wait, Your Majesty."

Emperor Jin raised his head in doubt, "Huh? What's the matter?"

Qiu Qingxi asked: "It was the emperor who appointed Mr. Zhuang as Jiuqing... Wasn't it because of Mr. Guowei?"

Emperor Jin blinked, with a puzzled expression on his face, "That's right. But Zhuang Aiqing didn't seem to be willing at the time, so I just cut it first and played it later, and drew up the imperial edict."

Emperor Jin chuckled. Whenever he thought of this, he felt that this was the most wise thing he had done in the past 20 years.

When Emperor Jin finished speaking, Qiu Qingxi thought that it was time for Su Bian to tell him that he had no interest in Jiuqing on the first day he went to court.

At that time, he didn't believe it.

...Even just now, Qiu Qingxi still didn't believe this sentence.

Qiu Qingxi was silent, and Emperor Jin suddenly realized that he hadn't seen Su Bian for a long time, so he couldn't help but said depressedly: "I haven't seen Zhuang Aiqing for a long time..."

After finishing copying the Four Books and Five Classics with great difficulty, he was forced to criticize some scriptures after finishing the copying. He had no time to go out of the palace and went to play with Su Bian.

Emperor Jin was very nostalgic for the night when they were in Xunfang Pavilion when Su Bian was not yet Jiuqing.

There are beauties, there are fine wines, there is no Ji Yixiao, and there is no Xuanyue, and there are no ministers who just hate him in the court every day...

Since you can't sneak out of the palace, how about...how about finding a legitimate name to leave the palace?

The Emperor Jin was planning, Qiu Qingxi waited for a long time but did not wait for the Emperor Jin to say how to deal with Jin Lin, so he couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, what should Prince Lin do?"

Qiu Qingxi suddenly made a sound, and Emperor Jin was shocked.

Emperor Jin frowned and scratched his head with a rather embarrassed expression.

Emperor Jin said: "After all, he is my real brother... I don't want to be punished too severely. Then... er... locked in the palace for a month and not allowed to leave the palace!"

Qiu Qingxi took the order.

Qiu Qingxi just stepped back, and Su Bian had already left Donghua Gate with Xie Daochen.

Just like in the past, after leaving Donghuamen, Su Bian prepared to say goodbye to Xie Daochen without even thinking about it.

Su Bian turned his face sideways, looked at Xie Daochen, and was about to say goodbye to Xie Daochen, when Xie Daochen, who had been standing beside him without speaking, suddenly spoke.

Xie Daochen paused, his hesitant appearance seemed to have been hesitating for a long time.

Xie Daochen said in a deep voice, "...Master Zhuang."

Su Bian was taken aback, and asked back, "General Xie, what's the matter?"

Xie Daochen looked at Su Bian Shaoqing silently, he pursed his lips, and the roots of his ears gradually turned red.

Xie Daochen stood where he was, neither walking nor speaking, which caused Su Bian to become more and more suspicious.

Su Bian frowned, and asked: "...General Xie?"

Xie Daochen held back for a long time, but in the end he couldn't say that sentence.

Xie Daochen was silent for a long time, then said quietly: "...nothing happened."

After all, as if to cover up something, he turned around and walked away quickly.

For some unknown reason, he even forgot to say goodbye to Su Bian as usual.

Su Bian stood where he was, watching Xie Daochen's leaving back, inexplicably.

Xie Daochen got on the horse, and the redness behind his ears gradually turned red to his neck.

Xie Qingyun said that if you want to become a 'best friend' with Lord Jiuqing, you should invite Lord Jiuqing to be guests in the mansion more often.

Xie Daochen listened.

It's just... After seeing Su Bian, Xie Daochen couldn't speak for some reason.

Or rather, forget what to say.

When Xie Daochen returned to the mansion, Xie Qingyun consciously greeted him, holding his brother's arm, and asked expectantly: "How is it? Will Lord Jiuqing come to the mansion as a guest today?"

Xie Daochen pursed his lips, "...No."

Hearing that 'sister-in-law' wasn't coming, Xie Qingyun looked disappointed, and her little mouth pouted unhappily.

Xie Qingyun let go of Xie Daochen's arm in frustration, and asked casually: "Did brother really go to invite Lord Jiuqing..."

Xie Daochen didn't speak.

Xie Qingyun understood.

Xie Qingyun asked slowly and word by word: "Brother...didn't you say?"

Xie Daochen still didn't speak.

Xie Qingyun understood again.

Xie Qingyun stood on the spot, stomped her feet, hating iron for not becoming steel, and said: "Brother, let's just let it go!"

If my elder brother has always been this virtuous, and wants to marry a sister-in-law, I guess it will be impossible in the next life!

Xie Qingyun was unhappy, and Xie Daochen's mood was not much better.

Xie Daochen meditated in his heart all night last night, but in the daytime, when he really saw Su Bian...he meditated all night, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Xie's mansion was gloomy, but Zhuang's mansion was very happy.

The matter of the Mu Mansion spread like wildfire in the capital, and it was spread all over the place in just one night.

Now no one dares to give gifts to the Zhuang Mansion.Afraid of sending him off, Su Bian sent him to the Taiqing Court.

Although the story of the Mu Mansion has been spread all over the capital, but because it is an outsider, they only know some rough outlines, not the details.

When Yan Ruyu heard this, she was very curious, followed behind Su Bian and asked: "My lord, what happened in Mu's residence last night? My lord, please tell me."

Su Bian doesn't like to talk too much, so he always just perfunctory.

Zhen Jing in Feng's residence also heard about this, and was already curious about what Su Bian looked like, but now he was even more curious about what Su Bian looked like.

As soon as Feng Cheng returned to the mansion, Zhen Jing threw insults at Feng Cheng, wanting to see Su Bian no matter what.

Zhen Jing cried and made noises, and almost hanged himself.

Feng Cheng had no choice but to follow Zhen Jing and go to the Zhuang Mansion in person to visit and invite Su Bian.

The result... came naturally.

Su Bian didn't even see Xuan Yue, so how could he meet Feng Cheng.

But how did Feng Cheng know that Su Bian was so arrogant that he didn't even see Xuanyue, Feng Cheng stood outside the gate of the Zhuang Mansion, thinking that he, the first-rank commander of the imperial guards, personally invited Su Bian to take office.

The Jiuqing who has been around for a long time is enough to save face.No matter what, she should always go to his Feng residence.

However, Feng Cheng did not expect...

Not to mention Su Bian, even the servants of Su Bian's mansion, Feng Cheng has not been able to see.

Feng Cheng stood outside the gate and knocked on the door.

……no respond.

Feng Cheng thought that his knocking was not loud enough, so he raised his hand and knocked again.

...still no response.

Feng Cheng frowned, and simply knocked on the door vigorously.

While knocking, he shouted: "Master Jiuqing is here?"

On the other side of the gate, the doorman was about to open the door, but after remembering Su Bian's order, he hesitated again.

The doorman trotted to the front yard, came to Su Bian who was playing chess, and whispered, "My lord, the door has been knocked three times."

Su Bian didn't raise his eyes, and his expression was cold: "Really."

Yan Ruyu, who was sitting opposite Su Bian, looked disgusted and said without thinking: "It must be another gift, don't bother."

The doorman replied: "...Yes."
