At this time, Jiang Mu seemed to be aware of Murong Yan's attention, so Jiang Mu slowly raised his head to look at him and said, "Why does this young master keep looking at me?"

Jiang Mu's words were gentle and soft, as if they were just casual questions, but they caught Murong Heng's attention.

Murong Heng also turned back to look at Murong Yan, with a profound look in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Fourth brother, do you have anything to say after listening to the song just now?"

Murong Yan's heart tightened, Murong Heng's question stopped him.

He didn't listen at all just now, his attention was all on Jiang Mu, and he was still thinking about last night's dream.

No matter what identity this woman is, she is the one Murong Heng likes. He cannot have other ideas. If Murong Heng knows, it will cause discord between the brothers. Moreover, he is the king and he is the minister.

Murong Yan could only pretend to be calm and said: "This song is cleverly conceived, has new ideas, and the lingering sound lingers after playing, making it unforgettable. It is really a masterpiece."

Jiang Mu wanted to laugh when he heard this flattery.

It turned out that Murong Yan, who was extremely cold and pretentious in front of her, was also a flatterer in front of Murong Heng.

The majesty of the emperor cannot be underestimated.

Murong Heng seemed to have heard such words too many times. He raised his eyebrows slightly, not very happy. He glanced at Murong Yan one more time and then changed the topic.

Murong Yan did not relax when he saw this, his heart was still on edge.

At this time, someone came outside the door.

There was a knock on the door.

Jiang Mu said: "What's the matter?"

"Girl, there is a Mr. Zhao who wants to see you. He says he admires her and wants to see her."

The speaker was Jiang Mu's maid at Xunhuan Residence. She served Jiang Mu tea and water, and usually stayed outside the door to deliver messages.

Jiang Mu frowned. In the past few days, there were hundreds of people who wanted to see her every day, but she had already given instructions not to see anyone unless they were the people she designated.

And Murong Heng is the one who has obtained Jiang Mu's special permission, and the people below will not stop him if they see him.

But who is this Mr. Zhao? Since he can have someone report to her, he must be different from others.

Jiang Mu thought for a while and said, "No, let's just say no."

The maid said in embarrassment: "But..."

The maid wanted to say that Mr. Zhao was generous and gave away a thousand taels of silver just because he wanted to see her. But there were other guests in the room, so it was difficult to say these words. Jiang Mu refused readily, and she hesitated for a moment.

, still didn’t say anything.

"I see."

After the maid left, not long after, Jiang Mu and Murong Heng chatted for a while. The two even played a song together, one played the pipa and the other played the piano. The sound of the music spread out, and many people were quietly enjoying it downstairs.

, after knowing that it came from the room of the pleasure-seeking girl, everyone was full of praise and admired the pleasure-seeking girl even more.

But when asked when Xunxun Girl will be on stage again, there is still no news.

Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Mu said, "It's getting late. It's time for the young master to go back. He's a little tired from having fun."

Murong Heng was very happy today. He was still in high spirits and didn't want to leave. He had an idea in his mind. If he could bring her to the palace, he could talk to her about music every day.

Very happy.

It's just that this matter needs to be considered in the long run. He really loves this confidant and doesn't want to be too casual with her. He still wants to give her a status. However, considering that Jiang Mu is a brothel girl, Murong Heng feels that if he wants to take her with him,

When entering the palace, a suitable identity should be arranged for her.

And he hasn't told Jiang Mu yet that he is today. If he says it now, it would be a bit too sudden.

Murong Heng decided to go back and think about it carefully.

So he nodded, "That's fine, I'll come see you again that day."

He picked up the pipa and handed it to Jiang Mu, "This pipa is for you. I think it suits you very well."

Jiang Mu looked surprised, "This, this is too expensive. Master, didn't you say this is your favorite pipa?"

This pipa was made by the most skilled craftsman in the world. Although it is precious, as long as Murong Heng is happy, he can give it to anyone he wants, and he also has many high-quality musical instruments.

The whole world belongs to him, so what does a pipa mean?

Murong Heng smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's my favorite. Now it has found a more suitable owner."

Jiang Mu pretended to be moved, "It is rare to find a confidant in life, and a bosom friend is the most difficult to find throughout the ages. It is really a great blessing in life to meet a confidant like Young Master in your lifetime."

She looked at Murong Heng lovingly, and Murong Yan, who was standing next to her, felt that this look was becoming more and more familiar for some reason.

It's like... it's like the way his princess looked at him back then.

Yes, these eyes look like Jiang Mu.

Murong Yan stared at Jiang Mu, feeling more and more suspicious in his heart.

But after Murong Heng finished talking to Jiang Mu and was about to ask Murong Yan to leave, he saw Murong Yan looking at Jiang Mu strangely. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "Fourth brother, let's go."

Only then did Murong Yan withdraw his probing gaze.

But the doubts in his heart gradually grew.

How could Jiang Mu be here?

Impossible, it should just be a bit similar.

Murong Yan's absent-minded look made Murong Heng a little dissatisfied.

After leaving Xunhuanju, Murong Heng asked casually, "What do you think of this Xunhuan girl?"

Murong Yan didn't know whether Murong Heng asked this casually or to test him. He thought about it and answered carefully: "I don't have any ideas, as long as the emperor likes it."

Murong Heng suddenly smiled, "Really? I quite like it."

Hearing these words, Murong Yan felt a little uncomfortable.

But Murong Heng added: "But I think you seem to look at her differently."

Murong Yan was shocked and said quickly: "Brother Huang has misunderstood."

Murong Heng smiled freely: "Why are you nervous? Isn't it normal for a gentleman to be jealous? For a woman like a pleasure-seeking girl, the men who come here to live happily are not all here for her. It's just that, except for me, no one

No one deserves her."

Murong Heng's words gave Murong Yan a warning.

Murong Yan smiled bitterly in his heart.

He was afraid that Murong Heng would think that he was also interested in a girl looking for pleasure.

Although Murong Yan felt a little unfair, he couldn't deny that he seemed to have some special feelings for her.

…

After Murong Heng and Murong Yan left, Jiang Mu rested lazily on the soft floor,

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in. Jiang Mu opened his eyes and found that the originally closed window was open.

She got up and was about to take a look, but before she took a few steps, she felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, when she turned around, she saw a man wearing a purple robe standing behind her.

Jiang Mu recognized that this was the man he had seen that day.

"Who are you? How did you get in?"

Jiang Mu looked at him coldly, not showing any panic.

An ordinary woman would have screamed when she saw a strange man suddenly appear in the room.

Li Zaoji was a little surprised. It seemed that this pleasure-seeking girl was more interesting than he thought.

He was outside just now, but he heard two people playing music inside, and he guessed the reason why she refused to see him.

Presumably the people in the room are more important than others.

So just now he had been lurking on the roof and peeking, and saw the two men in the house.

I guess one of them is her target.

Li Zaoji smiled and said, "It's really not easy to meet a girl looking for pleasure."

Seeing that he didn't answer, Jiang Mu stopped asking.

This man was able to come in quietly, so he certainly had some skills. Seeing that he was so calm and composed, and did not threaten her, he probably wasn't afraid of her calling someone, or he was able to subdue her before she called someone.

So Jiang Mu has given up on asking for help. If this person wants to hurt her, she doesn't have the ability to fight back.

"Why do you want to see me, Master?" Jiang Mu said calmly.

Li Zaoji: "Of course I came here because of the reputation. I want to know what kind of person the woman who can play and sing such amazing works is like. I also want to see the girl's true face."

Li Zaoji did not conceal his purpose at all, but spoke very frankly.

Jiang Mu smiled, looked at Li Zaoji, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a lazy expression, "Young master, you are well rewarded."

Li Zaoji became even more interested when he saw her becoming more and more relaxed.

He actually felt that the figure of the woman in front of him was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen her before somewhere.
