Rebirth of the Great Power

During the recovery period, Xue Chang also came to visit him every three days.Every time I came here, I was blinded by Mu Yuan's meticulous care, and finally couldn't help but said once: "Mu Yunzhi, what's the matter? Shen Zhi was injured, but the injury was on the chest, and the hands and feet were not hindered, not even a little bit You can't take care of things."

Mu Yuan took the warm medicine indifferently, blew it slowly, took out the bamboo stick and dipped a few drops on his wrist to test the temperature, and handed it to Ji Jin's mouth when he felt that it was almost ready.

Ji Jin held the bowl with one hand, and quickly drank it in one gulp. There were some traces of the medicine on his lips, and he instructed Mu Yuan to gently wipe it off with a veil.

After drinking the medicine, his mouth felt a little bitter, and Mu Yuan immediately handed over the honey water that he had ordered earlier.A sip of honey water was held in his mouth, and he stopped for a while before swallowing it bit by bit, sweet from his mouth all the way to his heart.Mu Yuan didn't teach to drink more, just one sip, probably because he was worried about diluting the concentration of the soup.

Mu Yuan twisted the handkerchief again and wiped Ji Jin's face and hands clean, and then helped him to lean on the soft pillow.

Xue Chang watched eagerly from the side, thinking in his heart, the servants and maids in the palace didn't seem to be so meticulous and thoughtful, the thoughtfulness of those details must have been taken care of with [-] points of heart.

Standing by the side, Mo Yan secretly glanced at the tangled and surprised expression of the Holy One, and secretly smiled inwardly. Your Majesty hadn't seen the scene where Mu Ye was feeding porridge and medicine one mouthful at a time when he couldn't get up a few days ago. It's hard to look at.As for the more intimate care such as body scrubbing, I didn't even have a chance to see it myself.

After doing all this, Mu Yuan looked at Xue Chang slowly, and replied: "Although the limbs were not injured, it is inconvenient after all. Between Shenzhi and I, no matter how we should take care of him. If we change the injured one today It's me, and Shenzhi will take care of me like this."

Ji Jin smiled slightly and nodded: "Yun Zhi is right. However, as long as I am here, Yun Zhi will never be hurt."

Xue Chang covered his eyes and lowered his head: "Enough is enough, I know that you are deeply affectionate, so I shouldn't ask too much."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Probably because Mu Yuan came from a different era, so when facing Xue Chang, the most honorable person in Daqi, it was inevitable that people in this era lacked the awe of the emperor.Perhaps Xue Chang also realized that Mu Yuan's attitude towards him was somewhat different from that of ordinary courtiers towards the emperor, but he didn't care.In front of Ji Jin, he never puts on the emperor's airs. He even hopes to get along with Ji Jin as before he ascended the throne, treating each other as brothers.Therefore, when facing Mu Yuan who has such a close relationship with Ji Jin, he became more intimate.

Xue Chang waved his hand suddenly, and the attendant with him winked at Mo Yan, and retreated with a group of servants.

Mu Yuan guessed that they had something important to discuss, and was going to follow along.

But Xue Chang said, "Mu Yun stayed here."

Mu Yuan looked at Ji Jin, and Ji Jin looked at Xue Chang.

Xue Chang smiled and said, "He's your man, so it doesn't hurt to hear about it. You are together after all, and if something happens in the future, you won't make any wrong judgments."

Ji Jin smiled and nodded to Mu Yuan, and Mu Yuan turned around and sat back on the low table at the head of the bed.

Xue Chang said to Ji Jin seriously: "The assassins caught in the paddock have all been interrogated. They are willing to confess, but unfortunately they don't know much. However, I can guess without their recruitment. The mastermind must be my good uncle."

"King Wei?" Ji Jin asked.

Xue Chang nodded: "I haven't had time to settle the account with him about him chasing and killing you in Yangzhou before. This time he became more daring, and directly assassinated him in Beijing, just to settle the old account with the new one."

Ji Jin said: "Wei Wang's people are all under our surveillance now. It is not easy to sneak into the capital without the eyes of so many spies. I am afraid that Wei Wang is not alone in this matter."

"Of course." Xue Chang continued, "According to the confessions of the assassins, plus some clues, some people were also drawn out by following the clues. It was because of the imperial examination that he was dissatisfied with you and me, so he was bribed and used by the king of Wei. They did such a daring thing. They probably didn’t think that Wei Wang’s people came to Beijing to assassinate, but unfortunately, it’s too late to wake up and regret it now.”

Ji Jin sneered: "Wei Wang's wolf ambition is well known to everyone. They dared to seek skin from a tiger, and they were tricked. Such a stupid and evil-minded person does not deserve sympathy."

Xue Chang sneered: "It's just right, to make room for the future pillars of Daqi, and save us from looking for opportunities to recruit a few people."

Ji Jin nodded: "If we start preparations now, Enke will happen to be opened next year, so as to exchange some fresh blood for the imperial court."

Xue Chang looked at Mu Yuan again: "We must not slack off the affairs of the Chess Office. I have already written back to the lords of Fusang and Koryo, agreeing to hold the Three Kingdoms Go Tournament in Yunjing in June next year. Don't let me down." Great Qi's prestige."

Mu Yuan smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, you will live up to the divine grace as determined by the imperial edict."

Seeing how the two of them were getting very close, Xue Chang raised his eyebrows: "Then when is Mu Qing going to resume work?"

Mu Yuan and Ji Jin looked at each other, smiled and said, "Three days later, after three days, the minister will return to wait for the edict to cancel the leave."

Xue Chang rubbed his nose: "It's not that I'm unkind, it's just that you stay in the mansion these days and don't know that the rumors outside have been spread everywhere. If Chief Mu doesn't show up again, I'm afraid not only my trusty king According to the mouths of the people, he has died of serious injuries, and even Mu Daguo will die with his own body."

Ji Jin asked curiously, "What is going on outside?"

Xue Chang pretended to be mysterious and smiled: "Go and find out by yourself, I won't be the one to spread the word."

In fact, at the beginning, many ministers in the court sent invitations to visit the palace, but Ji Jin refused them all.He understood that most of these people just wanted to know how his injury was, whether it was serious, and whether it was life-threatening, so that he could prepare for it.Ji Jin had no intention of coping with these temptations, and later His Majesty directly issued an imperial decree to let King Xin close the mansion for rest, so he completely cut off these visits.Everyone in the mansion is very strict with their mouths, and the situation in the mansion cannot be spread to the outside world, so there are more speculations and words.Of course, it is unavoidable that there are reasons for His Majesty and King Xin's intentional laissez-faire, and they also took the opportunity to eliminate the relevant personnel involved in the assassination.

During this period, apart from Xue Chang and Mu Yuan, the only person who has entered the palace is the current patriarch of the Ji clan, Ji Jin's third uncle.At that time, Ji Jin was not able to get up, so Mu Yuan had to do everything for him.The third uncle looked in amazement at the various meticulous things Mu Yuan did for Ji Jin. He watched Ji Jin grow up and knew that he never liked to get too close to people, and he didn't like to be served on private matters.And the handsome and steady young man in front of him didn't look like a servant, whether it was his clothes or his demeanor.

Sure enough, Ji Jin introduced Mu Yuan's identity to third uncle.The third uncle thought to himself: So this is the famous No. [-] chess player of Daqi some time ago, the chief chess player waiting to be Zhaomu, who is really extraordinary.But, never heard of him and Shenzhi being so close?

Although the third uncle had doubts, he was not a deep-seated person. He expressed the concern of the whole family to Ji Jin and sent some nourishing medicinal materials.After Ji Jin thanked him, he told him to take a good rest and left.Before leaving, he couldn't help but look back at Ken Muyuan, feeling a strange and indescribable sense of both disobedience and harmony in his heart.

After the third uncle left, Ji Jin thought that Mu Yuan was a little at a loss. Although others couldn't feel it, Mu Yuan was too calm, but Ji Jin knew that he was a little nervous.

Ji Jin couldn't help laughing and asked, "Is Yun Zhifang nervous?"

Mu Yuan pondered for a while, then nodded: "This is the first time I've seen your people, so they should be considered family members."

Ji Jin nodded with a smile: "Third Uncle and I have not been together for five years. Grandfather left early. He watched me grow up."

Mu Yuan took a deep breath: "I always feel that the way he looks at me is a little strange."

Ji Jin smiled and said: "He probably wondered why we are so close. I have never been close to anyone except Your Majesty since I was a child."

Mu Yuan was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Shen Zhi, have you met my father?"

"Mu Jijiu?" Ji Jin thought for a while and said, "I saw him once when he entered the palace to thank him."

"At that time, what did Shen Zhi think in his heart?" Mu Yuan asked.

"What did Yun Zhi want to ask? Do I have any ideas?" Ji Jin deliberately asked back. Do you feel nervous when Xiao Xiang's son faces his father?"

Mu Yuan looked at him, but didn't speak.

Ji Jin thought for a while and said seriously: "To be honest, I didn't have any at that time. Because I didn't know Yun Zhi's thoughts at that time, and even Xiao Xiang couldn't think about it. Now, if I see Mu again I'm afraid I'm going to be nervous about offering wine."

Mu Yuan smiled: "Me too."

"What is it?" Ji Jin asked.

Mu Yuan leaned close to his ear and whispered: "I miss other people's best nephew in Xiao, so when I see the old man, I inevitably feel a little guilty."

The scorching breath made the ears turn red, Ji Jin turned his head slightly, and bumped into Mu Yuan's smiling eyes, there was starlight in those eyes, there was him!

They were so close, so close that they breathed and smelled each other, so close that they could touch those moist and passionate lips just by lifting their jaws a little.

Therefore, Ji Jin raised his jaw slightly.

When Ji Jin wanted to retreat, Mu Yuan held the back of his head with one hand, and pressed forward lightly.The retreat becomes a temporary retreat before the attack.

Gently licking away the silver thread overflowing from the corner of the other's mouth, Mu Yuan calmed down his panting, and put his forehead against Ji Jin's.

Mu Yuan slid his palm down, and rubbed his thumb against the back of the other's neck, his voice was low, with a kind of hoarse sexiness: "Shen Zhi, when you recover, let's go back to Mu's residence to meet your parents. "

Ji Jinyuan was panting harder than him, and the voice he squeezed out had a sense of brokenness: "Okay."

Three days later, Mu Yuanzhong walked into the waiting room again.

Everything was as usual at the waiting office, and it didn't become lax because of the temporary absence of his chief.The game is going on in an orderly manner, but Mu Yuan, because he has been absent for more than half a month, may not be able to complete the number of games this month.As soon as the new system was implemented, Mu Yuan, the chief executive, was absent, but there was a reason for the incident, not to mention that His Majesty personally ordered the price to be sued, who would dare to make unreasonable comments?

However, even His Majesty's oral instructions cannot stop people's curiosity.

At first, everyone wondered why the chief took leave.Several waiters who had a good personal relationship with Mu Yuan made some inquiries and found out that nothing serious happened in the chief's house, and all the staff were safe.

Later, someone said that on the day Chief Mu left the waiting office in a hurry, he went to Prince Xin's Mansion, and even entered the Palace under the heavy guard of the Imperial Forest Army.

On that day, all the people in Yunjing knew that King Xin was seriously injured in order to escort him.

In addition, Chief Mu's request for leave was an oral order directly from His Majesty, and even the chief executive himself never showed up.

Everyone knows that His Majesty trusts King Xin the most, and apart from their identities as monarchs and ministers, their relationship is also very close.

So, Chief Mu's leave is for trusting the king?

It is not too difficult to come to this conclusion.

Because someone noticed that Chief Mu had never come out since he entered the palace.

Of course, it's not that no one has imagined whether it was Chief Mu who broke into the palace without authorization, ran into His Majesty and King Xin, and was sent to prison.

However, Chief Mu's family did not show any abnormalities.His Majesty even summoned Chief Mu's father, Mu Jijiu, alone on the second day. Although the summoning time was very short, Mu Jijiu looked very calm when he left, and there was no abnormal behavior after that.Someone went to find out, but Mu Jijiu kept silent.

Then, what else could Chief Mu stay in Xinwang Mansion for?

Could it be that it was to take care of the injured prince?

Sometimes, some truths come from bold assumptions and careful verification.

Could it be that Chief Mu and King Xin had a close relationship in the first place?

The first is Lu Zijun.Hearing all kinds of speculations from his colleagues in the waiting room, he suddenly thought of something, the more he thought about it, the more he was surprised and felt that there was evidence to rely on, but he didn't dare to spread it without proof.After holding back in the waiting room for a whole day, my face turned red.As soon as he left the imperial city, he hurriedly went to find his teacher Qianqiwaizhao Lin Yufu.

The first sentence I saw the teacher asked: "Teacher, do you know something?"

Lin Yufu was getting old, he didn't like to socialize, and he didn't go out often, so he didn't know the rumors floating around outside, so he asked suspiciously: "What is Zijun talking about?"

Lu Zijun said: "When discussing the chessboard in Yangzhou, you told me that no matter what the result of the chess game with Mu Yunzhi is, we must make good friends with him. When I learned that he was the leader, I thought that I would not meet him this year. You But he is sure that he will definitely enter the capital. Did you know that he knew King Xin a long time ago?"

Lin Yufu said "Oh", "It's for this matter." Then he asked, "Zijun has been in Beijing for some time, but has he ever met King Xin?"

Lu Zijun showed a little ashamed expression: "Although the imperial edict is located in the imperial city, it is far away from the court hall, and we can't meet it on weekdays. The disciple Fang entered the main selection office not long ago, and he has never received an edict from His Majesty. It was only a few months ago. Because of the challenge from the Fusang Mission, I was fortunate enough to enter the Golden Luan Hall, but there were so many people in the hall at that time, I only looked at His Majesty and King Xin from a distance, and I couldn't see it clearly."

Lin Yufu asked again: "Then did you ever feel that you believed in Wang Mianshan?"

Lu Zijun fell silent, recalled it carefully, and after a long time, he frowned and said hesitantly: "When the teacher said this, I really felt it at the time, but I never thought about it."

Lin Yufu nodded, then said: "At that time in Yangzhou, you and Mu Yunzhi met several times, did you pay attention to the man who was inseparable from him?"

Lu Zijun suddenly realized, and opened a pair of peach blossom eyes: "That one, is the king of Xin?!"

Lin Yufu raised his forehead: "Not bad."

Lu Zijun felt a little resentful: "Why didn't the teacher say it at the time?"

Lin Yufu smiled wryly: "For a long time, except for His Majesty, I have never seen King Xin get close to anyone. At that time in Yangzhou, King Xin, I stayed at the imperial edict for many years, and since I knew King Xin, I have never seen him. King Xin He has always acted in a low-key manner. He appeared in public in a low-key suit, so he naturally didn't want others to know his identity. Of course, the teacher didn't dare to say too much. Therefore, I can only hint to you. Besides, if you knew Mu Yunzhi and Xinxin at that time Good friends, can you still get along with him so naturally?"

Lu Zijun thought for a long time before slowly saying: "I don't know either. However, my disciples respect Brother Yun Zhi, no matter his chess skills or his character. Even if he is biased against him at the beginning, I'm afraid he will eventually be against him." Impressed."

Lin Yufu smiled: "King Xin never makes mistakes in judging people. The people he can befriend with must have something extraordinary, and their character is not bad. Only if you say that you are a teacher will you feel at ease and let you make friends with him boldly. However, why did Zijun suddenly ask these things today? Could it be that Mu Yunzhi wanted to introduce Xin Wang for you?"

Lu Zijun shook his head: "Teacher, don't you know yet? Xin Wang's escort was seriously injured. Brother Yunzhi should have taken leave to take care of him in the palace. There has been a lot of rumors outside, and there are all kinds of sayings."

Lin Yufu frowned, and confessed: "I see. Zijun, you have to remember that you don't take the initiative to bring up the relationship between Mu Yunzhi and King Xin. However, if there are rumors about Yangzhou Lunping, if you ask You, you tell the truth, there is no need to add speculation."

Lu Zijun said: "I know it. But I don't understand why. Besides, how does the teacher know that someone will talk about Yangzhou Lunping? Now there is no one who is waiting for the imperial edict except me and brother Yun Zhi." Others have personally experienced this year's Yangzhou Lunping."

Lin Yufu said: "Zijun doesn't need to ask more questions. You are still young and there are many things. Even if the teacher tells you to listen, you may not be able to understand it. You just do what the teacher tells you."

Lu Zijun had no choice but to nod.

The second person to react was Su Yuzhi.

He suddenly remembered that when Mu Yuan won the last chess match and was promoted to chief chess officer in public, the emperor came to Tingyu Tower in person. At that time, he felt that the handsome young man followed by the emperor looked familiar.However, those who have stayed in the capital for a long time know that a person who can follow the emperor and have such a demeanor must be the king of faith.It is impossible for him to have seen King Xin, he must have misidentified someone.

Thinking about it now, he didn't make a mistake at all.The reason why he felt that King Xin looked familiar was because he had seen him by Mu Yuan's side several times when he was discussing Ping Ping in Yangzhou.

It turned out that at that time, Brother Yun Zhi had already made friends with King Xin.

After figuring this out, Su Yuzhi also kept his mouth shut and never confide a word to the outside world.Although he is a businessman, he still has a certain political acumen.Since King Xin and Mu Yunzhi have known each other since they were in Yangzhou, but until now, no one knows exactly their relationship, so it must be that King Xin doesn't want to reveal it to the outside world, so how dare he talk about it?

As for Fan Yi, he was full of surprise.When he got to know Mu Yuan, Ji Jin had already separated from him.Later, when they reunited in Beijing, he went in and out of Tiaoliuzi Lane several times, but he had never met King Xin, so naturally he didn't know that Mu Yuan had a close relationship with King Xin.

Now that Mu Yuan is in Prince Xin's Mansion, as long as he knows that he is fine, other questions can only be asked after seeing him.

The rumors from outside naturally also spread into the Mu residence.

Mu Hong and Mu Yushang compared each other for a long time, and finally couldn't bear to ask their father together.

Mu Yushang is well-behaved, and has always been more loved and spoiled by his parents, so many times, when the two brothers and sisters wanted to make some requests together, Mu Hong would push Mu Yushang forward, and this time was no exception. .

Mu Yushang looked at Mu Qianzheng timidly, and asked, "Daddy, is what they said true?"

Mu Qian was putting down the scroll, looked at her gently, and asked, "What did they say?"

Mu Yushang and Mu Hong looked at each other, summoned up their courage and said, "They said that elder brother offended His Majesty and King Xin, and was imprisoned in Prince Xin's mansion and cannot come out."

"Nonsense." Mu Qian patted the desk hard, a little annoyed, "Where did you hear such nonsense?"

With tears in his eyes, Mu Yushang choked up and said, "But, elder brother hasn't come home for several days. Yushang went to Tiaoliuzi Lane the next day to take a look. Eldest brother hasn't gone back yet, not even Tianyuan."

Mu Qian softened his tone, and comforted him: "You don't have to worry, big brother is fine, he's fine."

Mu Yushang didn't believe it: "Then why hasn't he returned home? It's not like he didn't even have a message."

Mu Qian paused for a moment, but still explained: "Your eldest brother has sent a message back. King Xin was injured, and he is taking care of him at home, so he can't leave for the time being."

Mu Yushang pouted: "Daddy is lying, and elder brother doesn't know King Xin, why did he go to the palace to take care of him? Eldest brother is not a doctor."

Mu Qianzheng sighed, and had no choice but to say: "He knows it, and you know it too."

Mu Yushang's eyes widened: "How is it possible? We don't have the chance to meet a big man like Xin Wang."

Mu Hong clapped his hands suddenly, and suddenly said: "Little sister, tell me, Brother Ji, could he be the King of Xin?"

"what?"

The more Mu Hong thought about it, the more he felt right: "Little sister, think about it, Brother Ji's surname is Ji, and Lord Xin's surname is Ji. In the capital, the surname is Ji, who has such a demeanor, strong martial arts, and such a powerful servant. He also has his own paddock, racecourse, and such a big hot spring village. Besides Xinwang, who else? I still remember that Brother Xie and Sister Xie in the paddock at that time were all from the military camp. Our Daqi's military god."

Mu Yushang was also convinced, and looked at Mu Qianzheng with wide eyes: "Daddy, is Brother Ji the King of Xin?"

Mu Qian nodded, there is no need to hide this matter, I am afraid that soon the whole capital will know the relationship between Yuan'er and King Xin.

Mu Yushang suddenly thought of something, and said in shock: "Then big brother, isn't it with King Xin..."

She bit her lip and didn't finish speaking.

However, Mu Hong's curiosity was aroused: "What's wrong with Big Brother and King Xin?"

Mu Yushang glanced at Mu Qianzheng, then shook his head at Mu Hong: "It's nothing."

I couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, thinking about the identity and status of King Xin, and then thinking about the relationship between my brother and him.Could it be that the "sister-in-law" is gone, and there is an extra "brother-in-law"?

However, in any case, as long as the brother is willing.A gentle person like Xinwang will definitely treat his brother well.

Thinking of this, and thinking of King Xin being injured, he couldn't help worrying: "Is the prince seriously injured? Does it matter?"

Mu Qianzheng said: "It didn't hurt your life, and it's much better now, don't worry."

Mu Yushang was still a little worried, and said cautiously: "Then, can we go and visit? On weekdays, the prince treats me and my second brother very well."

Mu Qianzheng shook his head: "It's probably inconvenient for them to be in Prince Xin's Mansion now. It's enough for your elder brother to take care of you. When the prince is well, there will be a chance for you to see him. He will understand your intentions, and he will not to blame."

"Oh, that's fine." Although Mu Yushang was disappointed, he still nodded, "That Yushang should go to Tiaoliuzi Lane if he has time, maybe he will meet big brother soon."

Mu Qianzheng didn't object: "Go if you want, but remember to bring some people, don't go alone, pay attention to safety."

"En." Mu Yushang nodded vigorously.

Later, as Lin Yufu said, someone found out the past of Mu Yuan and Ji Jin's close friendship when they were discussing the Ping in Yangzhou.

Sure enough, someone asked in front of Lu Zijun.

"Brother Zijun, didn't you also participate in Yangzhou Lunping? Did you also meet King Xin at that time? Are the prince and Chief Mu really as close as the rumors say?"

Lu Zijun nodded: "It's just that I didn't know at the time that the person was Xin Wang. The prince and Chief Mu went in and out together, almost inseparable, and the relationship is indeed very good."

Someone also asked about Su Yuzhi.

"Master Su, didn't you also participate in the Yangzhou Lunping? Didn't you have a good relationship with Chief Namu? Did you know King Xin long ago? Why don't you introduce yourself to the brothers, so you can enjoy yourself."

Su Yuzhi put on a straight face: "Stop talking nonsense. I just found out that the person who had a close relationship with Brother Mu back then is the current king of Xin. Don't you think that my Su's firm can have a relationship with the imperial court and win the king of Xin Support? Don’t forget, King Xin is the most impartial and selfless, if you speak nonsense outside and tarnish the reputation of the prince, you will be held accountable when the time comes, don’t say brothers didn’t remind you.”

"Don't dare, don't dare to be angry, Master Su, don't get angry, we are just curious, how dare we talk about King Xin, don't dare."

Su Yuzhi snorted coldly in his heart, knowing that even if they had similar thoughts in their hearts, they would not dare to pour out again.

Even Cheng Zhengqing held Cheng Shiyuan back: "Shiyuan, did you know that Mu Yun is a believer in the king, so you sided with him in everything? Why didn't you say it earlier, and I was worried that you would offend me?" It’s uneasy over there all day long. If you have King Xin as your backer, you don’t care what the other side thinks.”

Cheng Shiyuan gave him a blank look: "You think too much. I know it no earlier than you."

Cheng Zhengqing didn't believe it: "Then why are you helping Mu Yunzhi like this? You tipped him off in the middle of the night, and he said you would support the restructuring, and you helped him organize the waiting office when he was away. What exactly are you planning?"

Cheng Shiyuan looked at him, and said seriously: "Because what he wants to do is what I want to do, but I have never been able to do it. A person like him can accomplish what he wants to do with or without the support of King Xin . That's why I support him."

"You... Hey, what are you doing so seriously all of a sudden." Cheng Zhengqing was a little embarrassed.

Some people were so angry that they almost lifted the table, and paced back and forth in a panic: "I said, why can't I find out the past of Muyun Zhiding. The matter that King Xin refused to investigate, of course, I can't find out."

The other person was much calmer, and took a sip of tea slowly: "Even if it is found out, who else knows Mu Yunzhi's chess skills? Even Cheng Shiyuan is not his opponent, who else can stand in the way on the chessboard?" Can you hold him? If you really stop him, you won’t offend King Xin for no reason, and you’ll just let Mu Yun get to his current position a few days later, what’s the difference?”

The man was terrified: "You said, during the few days when Mu Yunzhi and Cheng Shiyuan played against each other, we all failed for one reason or another. Did King Xin play a role in it?"

Another person sighed: "Did you just think of it? If it wasn't for Xin Wang, who else has such ability, it can't be a coincidence?"

"So, let's forget it like this?"

Another person sneered: "How is it possible! In the past, the only person close to the king was His Majesty, and he had no desires or desires, no oil and salt, and no weakness. Now, since he has someone he cares about again, it is equivalent to Handed us a soft knife, how can we not make good use of it."

"You mean?"

"You are not curious. The relationship between King Xin and Mu Yunzhi is so close that someone can come directly to take care of him. It is said that King Xin, who never lets his servants get close, can let Mu Yunzhi take care of his personal affairs." ..."

"Where did you hear about it? How come I've never heard of it. The group of people in Xinwang's Mansion are a bunch of clam spirits, and they can't open their mouths."

The other person couldn't help giving him a blank look: "Shut up. If you want to hear it, you can hear it. As for where you heard it from, it doesn't matter!"

"Oh, I understand, I understand, it's just a fabrication, I understand, I understand, you continue."

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, the other person continued: "For so many years, the king has believed, not to mention the concubine and concubine, and he doesn't even have a maidservant close to him. Is no one wondering why?"

"why?"

"Of course it's because he doesn't like women!"

"Xin Wang doesn't like women? How do you know?! Oh, oh, I was wrong, I was wrong, you said he is him. Then?"

"Then what and then. At this point, wouldn't people be able to imagine for themselves?!"

"That's it?! How can a little gossip affect King Xin?"

"What influence does it have? It's not up to you or me, but to the King of Xin. Besides, even if it doesn't matter, it's great to add some trouble to him. Whoever asks him, always gives Are we blocking it?"

"You're right. So I'm going to find someone to spread the word?"

"Wait, it's not yet time. Wait for the facts to ferment."

At this time, Mu Yuan, who had just returned to the waiting room, once again accepted the baptism of everyone's eyes.This time, Mu Yuan understood the meaning in their eyes.

After being reminded by Xue Chang that day, Ji Jin asked someone to find out what was said outside.That is, everyone was just guessing whether Mu Yuan and Ji Jin knew each other and what their relationship was like.The two of them, one is the king of faith who holds great power under one person; Interest in small talk after dinner.

Ji Jin smiled, and looked at Mu Yuan: "If other people know about the relationship between you and me, Yunzhi's life will be less clean. If you have a relationship with King Xin, your reputation may become better , and it might get worse. Is Yunzhi afraid?"

Mu Yuan leaned over, brought his eyebrows closer to him, stared at his eyes, twitched the corners of his lips, and lowered his voice deliberately: "I am a person who has lived under the spotlight and public opinion for more than ten years. I am not here Scared!"

Mu Yuan straightened up, withdrew his slightly sinister look before, and said calmly: "Besides, I have already said that with Shen Zhi, I have nothing to fear!"

Ji Jin smiled deeper and nodded.

So, on the second day, in the streets and alleys of Yunjing, there were many merchants from Yangzhou, and they talked about the things about Yangzhou Lunping, especially the young man who went straight to the final with the appearance of a dark horse, and his The inseparable friend by my side.

Mu Yuan continued to do what he was supposed to do, no matter what kind of eyes the crowd cast on him, he accepted it calmly.Gradually, everyone stopped paying too much attention.Mu Yuan didn't pretend to be calm, but really didn't care.

Lu Zijun was the first to come forward to say something further.

Mu Yuan said gently, "What's the matter with Zijun?"

Lu Zijun stared at him for a long time, seeing that he was still frank and frank, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged: "Why didn't Brother Yunzhi ever say anything about his acquaintance with King Xin?"

Mu Yuan smiled: "It's not something that needs to be publicized. No one asked about it, so I didn't mention it."

Lu Zijun was at a loss for words for a moment, he thought that Mu Yuan would at least evade, but he didn't expect him to admit it like that, without even needing an explanation.

After thinking for a while, Lu Zijun said again: "Brother Yunzhi, haven't you visited Tiaoliuzixiang these days?"

Mu Yuan nodded: "The prince's injury was a bit serious at first, and I couldn't leave him even a single step. However, Your Majesty should only be able to beat my father."

Lu Zijun hesitated to speak: "If you have time, go back and have a look. Miss Mu, I have been waiting for you in Tiaoliuzi Lane."

Having said that, his face gradually turned red strangely.

Mu Yuan didn't realize it at first, and asked, "Yu Chang? This silly girl, my father should have told her that I'm fine."

Lu Zijun couldn't help defending Mu Yushang: "Miss Mu just cares too much about you, Brother Yun Zhi, don't disappoint her kindness."

"Of course not." Mu Yuan noticed his face now, and couldn't help being a little surprised, why his face was red again, he didn't say anything, "Has Zijun been to Tiaoliuzi Lane?"

"Well," Lu Zijun's voice was lower, "I'm a little worried, I want to see if Brother Yunzhi has gone back, and I happened to meet Miss Mu and said a few words."

"Thank you Zijun, I'll go back and have a look when I leave the office later."

When Mu Yushang saw Mu Yuan, he rushed over happily: "Brother, you're back?!"

Mu Yuan gently caught her, and said with a smile, "Well, I kept my little sister waiting for a long time."

Mu Yushang smiled and shook his head, then suddenly covered his mouth with one hand, leaned into Mu Yuan's ear and asked in a low voice, "Is your lord alright?"

Mu Yuan glanced at her.

Mu Yushang leaned over again and said, "My second brother and I already know that Brother Ji is the King of Xin."

Mu Yuan said apologetically, "I didn't hide it from you on purpose, but I didn't mention it on purpose."

Mu Yushang waved his hand: "It's okay, Yushang understands."

The siblings chatted for a while, and Mu Yuan asked about some recent trivial matters at home.

When the sky gradually darkened, Mu Yuan said: "Little sister, it's getting late, I'll send you back home, be careful on the way."

Mu Yushang was a little disappointed: "Brother, why don't you go home tonight?"

Mu Yuan said softly: "Shen Zhi is not well yet, I want to spend more time with him."

Mu Yushang immediately smiled and said that I understand.

Mu Yuan touched her head, and said: "I probably won't be back in the next few days, little girl, don't come here for now. I'll go home when I'm careful. If Zijun didn't say From now on, I don’t know that little sister is waiting for me.”

When Mu Yushang heard this, his eyes suddenly flickered, and a suspicious blush appeared on his face, and he said in a low voice: "Yes, Mr. Lu, did you tell Big Brother that I am here?"

"Yeah." Mu Yuan nodded, looked after her face for a while, and asked in surprise, "Why is my little girl's face so red, did she catch a cold? Speaking of which, Zijun's face is also so red today, it can't be because It's getting cold in here."

Mu Yushang stood up suddenly, and said loudly, "Brother is such an idiot. I won't tell you anymore, I'll go back first."

After speaking, he ran away like a gust of wind.

Mu Yuan was stunned for a long time, finally came to his senses, and said in his heart, he really is an idiot!

Turning around and talking about this matter in front of Ji Jin, Ji Jin laughed for a long time, and finally concluded: "Yun Zhi is indeed a fool, so cute!"

Mu Yuan hugged him, pressed him down on the couch, went to scratch his itch, and said in a low voice: "I'm a fool, so what are you who look like a fool?"

Ji Jin laughed until tears came out, repeatedly begging for mercy: "You're a fool, but
