There was silence in the royal study, except for the occasional crackling of candlelight.
Emperor Jing did not let Mu Qingyu raise his head, so he could only lie on the ground.
After a long time, I heard a chuckle.
"I don't know what Madam Mu heard outside.
But I have no disagreement with the Emperor.
If it weren't for the help of my uncle, I wouldn't be able to sit on this throne.
Unable to defend the kingdom of the Great Sheng Dynasty, my uncle, the emperor, has nothing but gratitude.
Don’t let me hear these words again from now on.
Otherwise, I will definitely not be able to spare you.
Okay, you go down."
Mu Qingyu did not stand up, but he was not afraid either, and his tone remained very calm.
"The emperor is of true dragon blood, regardless of whether there is a prince or not.
The kingdoms of the prosperous dynasty can only belong to the emperor.
Master Shen informed the lower official about this matter before he died, and the lower official felt that the emperor should be informed.
So, I came to the palace right after I came out of the prison."
Emperor Jing looked at Mu Qingyu intently, seemed to have some thoughts on his mind, and dropped the memorial in his hand.
"Since Mr. Mu insists so much, then I will listen and see.
Get up and watch me speak."
Mu Qingyu slowly raised his head and looked at Emperor Jing.
Word by word, Xiao Jingze and Su Jinxiu get to know each other.
Until he regained his memory, he met Su Jinxiu unexpectedly in Decheng and Yongzhou.
Every piece of it, nothing is missing.
"Master Shen said that he had seen the prince more than once.
Being intimate with Su Jinxiu is obviously very different from Su Jinxiu."
Emperor Jing was fascinated by what he heard, and his fingers subconsciously clasped on the table.
After a long while, he smiled sarcastically.
"Then Su Jinxiu is the false daughter the Marquis adopted by mistake?
Humph, there is no place for her in the Hou Mansion.
She actually came up with such a way to seduce my imperial uncle?
It's a good thing that my uncle didn't remember anything at that time, otherwise, how could she still be alive?"
Without waiting for Mu Qingyu to say anything else, he waved his hand boredly.
"Both you and Shen Yu thought wrong about people like Uncle Huang.
If you really like someone, you will be careful.
Hidden in a place where no one can find her, in front of others and behind others, and have no relationship with her.
How could it happen, no matter how hard it is?
Let people follow him everywhere and meet him by chance? Still walk around on the street and let people see him?
Mr. Mu is kind-hearted, and I appreciate it.
Even if Shen Yu is dead, I heard that he still visited the emperor's uncle?"
Mu Qingyu didn't hide it and nodded.
"Yes, but the prince went to see him.
It seemed that he left without asking anything."
Emperor Jing gritted his teeth and snorted coldly.
"Shen Yu was wise enough to know that among the more than 100 people in his house, all those who were close to him were put to death, and all the unimportant ones were exiled.
As for you, Mr. Mu..."
His gaze fell on Mu Qingyu carefully.
"The position of chief minister has always been vacant, and the old guys in the court are fighting for it.
There has never been a conclusion. I know that they are waiting for the emperor's intention.
I want to know if Mr. Mu has the ability to sit in that position?"
Mu Qingyu looked at Emperor Jing and leaned down again.
"I am willing to share the emperor's worries, even if I die..."
Emperor Jing would naturally not trust Mu Qingyu so easily, so he waved his hand and told him to leave first.
"Okay, I'm just waiting to see Mr. Mu's sincerity!"
When we came out of the palace, it was almost dawn.
The darkness before dawn is always particularly difficult.
Mu Qingyu was dressed in white and walking on a long deserted street.
There was no one around, so I could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Although Emperor Jing was young, he was very suspicious.
Tianlao must have spies, as Shen Yu's every move has already been reported to the palace.
If he didn't make this trip, the emperor would definitely be suspicious of Su Jinxiu.
Therefore, we can only take risks.
Take advantage of the emperor's suspicion to give Su Jinxiu some peace.
I think it's all repayment of the kindness I received when I was in Wucheng.
——————————————
In Ying County, Su Taohua discovered that Shen Lang had not come to school for several days.
She couldn't help but feel a little worried, but it was hard to find anyone to ask.
The whole school is afraid of Shen Lang, that gangster who is not stingy and has a good relationship with him.
It was just her who had finished one day of classes.
Su Taohua felt a little uneasy and was about to go back to rest.
Halfway through, I heard someone talking about Shen Lang.
"Hey, let me see how can Shen Lang be so arrogant now?
His old man, Shen Yu.
He was so daring that he robbed the fine iron in the court.
It was found out by the regent and has not yet been interrogated.
He committed suicide in Tianlao out of fear of crime.
The whole Shen family was implicated, died and was exiled.
From now on, no one will bother us anymore.
Gee, he can run fast.
Otherwise, I will definitely teach him a lesson."
Hearing this, Su Taohua gritted her teeth and stepped forward, grabbing the man's shirt.
"What did you say? Shen Lang, he is Shen Yu's son?
He, he was also arrested?
Going into exile? Where to go?”
The man looked at Su Taohua and grabbed her wrist angrily.
"How do I know? Maybe, he has been executed by now.
If you have the ability, go to the underworld and ask him yourself?
I have long disliked your sissy and pretty face.
How can you still be arrogant without Shen Lang's support in the future?
Huh, Shen Lang has fallen into this situation.
It’s all retribution, it’s all deserved.”
As he said that, he raised his hand and punched him.
Su Taohua didn't know where she got the strength to push him away.
The backhand was a kick that made the person stagger a few steps and fall to the ground.
The man rubbed his chest and looked at Su Taohua in disbelief.
"You, how dare you kick me?"
Su Taohua gritted her teeth and looked at him condescendingly.
"If you let me hear you say anything bad about him from now on, I will beat you to death."
There was a bit of anger in her eyebrows, and at first glance she looked somewhat similar to Shen Lang.
The man didn't know whether he was frightened or hurt by the kick, so he didn't dare to say anything anymore.
Su Taohua didn't have time to chat with him, so she spoke to Su Shangwen.
I went back to Aunt Qiuye's small courtyard and rummaged through it.
He took out all the silver coins and counted them.
She saves all this money on a daily basis.
I earn money by writing letters to people.
The total amount is less than five taels of silver.
I wanted to inquire about the information, but there was really too little.
Looking at the dark sky outside, Su Taohua bit her lip, got up and went out.
Regardless of whether it works or not, you have to try it.
As soon as she walked out of the courtyard, she heard Shen Lang's familiar voice.
"If you don't stay at home in the middle of the night, why are you running around?"
If you ignore the shackles and shackles on his body and just listen to these words, you would think that he is fine.
Su Taohua's eyes suddenly turned red when she saw Shen Lang's appearance.
"You, how did you become like this?
Are you injured? How can I help you? "
Fortunately, everyone is fine.
Shen Lang looked at Su Taohua crying again and sighed helplessly.
"Stop crying. I can't wipe your tears like this."
I can't help but hold you and comfort you.
Su Taohua hurriedly wiped away her tears and stepped forward.
"You, where are you going?
Can I give it to you?"
Shen Lang glanced at the guard not far away and smiled.
"Thanks to my fear of committing suicide, I, a rebellious son who was kicked out of the house a long time ago, don't have to die.
However, he has to be exiled to the northwest.
Coming to see you is basically a favor sold to me.
If I ask you to give it away, that would be outrageous."
