"Why?"

Yan Mu looked at Shangguan Xu with a funny look, "I have been by your side since I was a child, watching you kill loyal and kind, watching you harm the people, watching you plot, I am influenced by your eyes, why can't I learn? He is a foolish monarch, only caring about his own pleasure, regardless of the country, I have his blood on me, why should I be a dignified person?"

Shangguan Xu looked at Yan Mu deeply, "You are also a father now. Yan'er will learn from you, just like you learn from me, do you want him to struggle and suffer like you?"

Yan Mu froze. He thought of his two children and Liu Yunxiang. He could become a bad person, but he didn't care, but he was a father and a husband, so he wouldn't let himself rot. This is his responsibility as a man.

He slowly let out a long breath and knocked his forehead with his fist.

"You are not worthy of telling me this, but I listened to what you said and remembered it." After that, Yan Mu walked forward first.

Shangguan Xu watched Yan Mu walk away and couldn't help but cough. He took out the veil, but saw a lot of blood stained on the veil. He frowned, feeling a dizzy moment, and he lie down on the tree next to him to stand firm.

In the middle of the night, Yan Mu heard something outside the house and subconsciously took out the short dagger placed under the pillow. At this time, the door was knocked, and a few clangs of sounds broke the tranquility of the night.

"Your Highness, wake up quickly, something happened."

Yan Mu sat up in his clothes and said, "What happened?"

"The Empress was hung in the sanction of the sanctions. The Fourth Prince fainted in fear. The Emperor is Rumengxuan and ordered you to deal with this matter."

"knew."

Yan Mu sat on the edge of the bed and asked the guards to lock the queen and the fourth prince together. He expected this result. How arrogant the queen was, she might be able to grit her teeth and endure the torture, but she could not stand letting her son see her embarrassed appearance. Qin Shengrui was just a coward, and just looking at the queen's miserable situation, he would be scared to death.

The emperor detained the queen to the position of the prosecution department, but he did not want this to spread, in order to protect himself and the royal family. Since this happened, Yan Mu released the news that the queen died of illness, and held a funeral for her according to the queen's specifications, which was just a little simpler.

A few days later, Yan Mu was busy with the Queen's funeral, and the emperor did not attend court or show up. He had been with Guiren Meng in Rumeng Pavilion, which was a night of fun and singing.

When the queen's funeral ended, news came out of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, saying that the Fourth Prince was crazy.

Yan Mu just smiled when he heard this, "He wants to be crazy, so let him go crazy."

After walking from the capital to Yanzhou for half a month, they finally arrived outside Yanzhou.

"We will sleep here tonight first, and we will enter the city tomorrow morning." Li Zhu said a word and went to the forest to pick up firewood.

Zi Jin tied the horse and then patrolled around.

Liu Yunxiang helped Qu Moran settle Qu Xing, then got off the carriage, and they took Qu Yi to sit down around the fire.

"Yun Xiang, you have been delaying the road with us for several days." Qu Moran said embarrassedly.

Halfway through the way, Qu Xing got sick and they could only stay in nearby towns, so they delayed for a few days.

"No obstacle." Liu Yunxiang said as he took out the dry food and separated from Qu Moran and his son, "By the way, we will go to the city tomorrow, so let's separate for the time being. You go to Qu Xing's hometown, and Zijin and I will go to the government office."

Qu Moran nodded, "Okay, although I don't know what you are doing in Yanzhou, you must be careful in everything."

"Well, you are the same. Let's go and visit you when we handle the matter here."

"good."

Li Zhu picked up a large bundle of firewood and added a few pieces. He sat down next to Qu Yi, first baked dry food for him, and he ate one of them himself. Then he went to the carriage to get a blanket, gave Qu Mo one, and wrapped the remaining one on him, then hugged Qu Yi in his arms, and the two lay down sideways to prepare to go to bed.

"Brother Zhu, I'm going to the city tomorrow. Can I eat some chicken legs?"

"Buy it for you tomorrow."

"I have lost weight after eating dry food these days."

"It's obviously full of fat."

"Impossible, you touch the bones here."

"What about here?"

"That's my butt, of course I have meat!"

The two of them whispered, but gradually they were silent.

Qu Moran leaned against the tree trunk with peace of mind, and didn't have to take care of Qu Xing. If there was any movement in Qu Xing, Li Zhu would pass by, and he didn't have to worry about Qu Yi. Li Zhu hugged him to sleep. She was not afraid of the cold at night, because Li Zhu would wrap her blankets tightly from time to time.

She closed her eyes and fell asleep soon.

Liu Yunxiang leaned against the other side, but she was not sleepy at this time. I don’t know if it was because it was approaching Yanzhou City or the journey was too smooth, but in short, she was very uneasy at this moment.

"Girl, our people just sent a message and found Taoist Master Hongxuan. Let us go to Wanchun Garden in the west of Yanzhou City tomorrow." Zi Jin was actually going to meet with the people they sent out.

Qu Xing was sick halfway through. In order not to delay the matter, Liu Yunxiang sent a few guards around him to Yanzhou first.

"Is there any news about Xue Changfeng?"

Zi Jin shook his head, "No."

"Not bad news."

"The Taoist priest said the same thing."

Liu Yunxiang sighed, closed her eyes, "Let's go to bed first."

At night, Liu Yunxiang was already asleep and suddenly woke up by a fight. She opened her eyes and saw Zijin fighting with a man in black under the moonlight.

The two of them had extremely sharp moves, and Zi Jin was already injured.

"Yun Xiang!"

Qu Moran pulled Qu Yi and ran to Liu Yunxiang. Before Qu Yi woke up, she rubbed her eyes and yawned. Liu Yunxiang looked behind them, but did not see Li Zhu.

"Where is Lee Joo?"

Qu Moran shook his head, "I don't know, I didn't see him when I opened my eyes."

Liu Yunxiang looked at the man in black again. He seemed a little anxious and went to Zijin's vital points. Because he was too anxious, he showed many flaws. Zijin seized the opportunity and injured his arm first, and then kicked him in the chest.

The man in black staggered back two steps. At this time, he saw Liu Yunxiang at first, and then he took a look at Liu Yunxiang and stabbed him directly.

"Yun Xiang! Be careful!"

Liu Yunxiang staggered back two steps. At this moment, a thin figure passed by, and the man in black suffered a heavy blow and retreated far away. Liu Yunxiang was still in shock and turned to look at it, it turned out to be a mistress.

The boy looked at her and hummed, and then attacked the man in black with Zijin left and right. The man in black had very good martial arts skills and was not inferior to the fight with them. He just wanted to hurt Liu Yunxiang, so he had no chance either.

After hundreds of tricks in this battle, the man in black finally gave up and took the opportunity to escape.

Zi Jin breathed a sigh of relief and picked up his chin at the mistress, "I have been waiting for you all the way, and you finally come."

The mistress curled her lips, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to find you."

"and you?"

"I have my second home in Yanzhou. Can't I go home?"

"Uh, OK."

Liu Yunxiang ran over and asked if they were injured.
