After dealing with the two people, Mu Yan hid the dagger in his cuff with his backhand.
Walking to Liu Shousi's door with light steps, Mu Yan listened to the movement in the room with cold eyes, and then gently knocked on the door bolt.
There was no proper sound coming from the house, which made Mu Yan slightly aware of the urgency of time. Mu Yan had no choice but to grit his teeth and knock on the door again. Listening to the deathly silence in the house, Mu Yan no longer thought about anything else and quickly opened the door.
Mu Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the scene in front of him.
In the room lit by candlelight, Liu Shousi was lying face down on the ground. Mu Yan scanned the scene in the room, and his restless heart gradually calmed down. He thought that Liu Shousi must have inhaled the incense and felt uncomfortable, so he got up and lit the lamp.
I wanted to drink some water or something, but before he could have any other reaction, he fell to the ground unconscious.
Although Leng Yaner's Ecstasy incense is colorless and odorless, it is very powerful. Liu Shousi had a ulterior motive in his heart, so he did not dare to call the guard outside the door easily. Unexpectedly, he pushed himself into the pit alive.
Mu Yan walked into the room with a sneer and helped the fainted Liu Shousi up. In order to prevent an accident, Mu Yan lit Liu Shousi's weak point, extinguished the candle, and then took him out of the room.
After handing Liu Shousi over to Liu Yiyi and Leng Yan'er, Mu Yan said with twinkling eyes: "You two go back first. I have something to deal with Ziluo. You go find the fourth master and escort them back to the palace together."
When we meet at Feng Ruowu's place, remember to ensure Liu Shousi's safety."
"Don't worry," Leng Yan'er replied to Mu Yan succinctly and quickly, and then quickly left the scene in accordance with Mu Yan's order.
Mu Yan, who was left alone, hid the two corpses as quickly as possible, then found a hiding place for himself, staring intently at Liu Shousi's door. As expected, less than a quarter of an hour later,
Han Shoulin appeared in Mu Yan's sight
Seeing Han Shoulin acting strangely, he looked around. After knocking on Liu Shousi's door for a long time and getting no response, Han Shoulin stamped his feet heavily, cursed silently, turned around with an angry face, and faced the sun.
Walking toward the exit of the Wei Mansion, Mu Yan seriously thought about the reason why Han Shoulin appeared here in the middle of the night, and watched him leave in confusion.
The operation was unexpectedly smooth, but it made Mu Yan a little uneasy. He found Qi Heichu, Qi Fengyuan and Lu Yu'er. Mu Yan didn't ask any questions and kept silent until he returned to the palace and sat in a familiar room.
The tense nerves were finally relaxed
Glancing coldly at the unconscious Liu Shousi, Mu Yan frowned and sat in the chair. Mu Yan lowered his gaze to Qi Heichu and asked, "Yun Qingshan, is there no movement?"
"No, it doesn't seem to be in the mansion. I walked around for a long time and didn't see anyone else except the patrolling guards."
"Nothing was found outside the Taiwei's residence," the fourth master continued what Qi Heichu said, making Mu Yan's brows furrow deeper.
Could it be that she guessed wrong? Then what is Yun Qingshan's real purpose of looking for Liu Shousi? After staying in Taiwei's Mansion for two days and missing, where did Yun Qingshan go? Han Shoulin came to Taiwei's Mansion tonight because of
What?
Putting down all the doubts in his heart, Mu Yan looked at Feng Ruowu and asked softly: "Xia Yifeng, hasn't he been here?"
"I came here in the evening, asked about your whereabouts, and then told me to wait for you to come back and go to the imperial study room to inform him. I guess he should still be handling things there now." When Xia Yifeng was mentioned, Feng Ruowu curled her lips helplessly,
Secretly feeling helpless for Xia Yifeng
Although the emperor's seat looks good, it's not that easy to sit on...
Mu Yan nodded, and did not continue discussing Xia Yifeng's topic. Instead, he looked at Zhou Yiruo, who had been silent, and said, "Yiruo, it's up to you."
"Me?" Zhou Yiruo looked at Mu Yan with wide eyes and asked doubtfully.
"That's right, the rest of the time will be left to you. Do we need to leave?" Mu Yan smiled slightly and said, "If you are nervous, we can go out first and wait for your news."
"No need!"
Mu Yan's words made Zhou Yiruo a little unconvinced, and he quickly rejected Mu Yan's proposal. Zhou Yiruo stood up and walked to Liu Shousi. After Liu Yiyi untied Liu Shousi's weak points, he helped Liu Shousi sit down on a chair.
, Zhou Yiruo took a deep breath with a slight nervousness.
Zhou Yiruo, who had never done anything in front of so many people, gently patted his chest and then forcefully woke up Liu Shousi. The moment Liu Shousi opened his eyes, before Liu Shousi had any other reaction, Zhou Yiruo quickly
He brought the sachet that had been prepared in his hand to Liu Shousi's nose, and at the same time made a complicated gesture that Mu Yan and others could not understand.
To everyone's surprise, after Zhou Yiruo was doing some puzzling movements and muttering some words to himself, Liu Shousi actually sat on the chair honestly like that, his expression dull and motionless.
Mu Yan and Feng Ruowu couldn't help being surprised, because they had seen hypnosis as early as modern times, and they always thought that the method of Zhu Youshu should be different from hypnosis. But today, when they saw it, it opened their eyes.
Completely subverting the previous ideas! Moreover, Zhou Yiruo's back and forth movements were completed in less than five minutes...
"If you have any questions, just ask." Zhou Yiruo turned to look at Mu Yan and said softly: "Keep your voice down."
His thoughts were disrupted by Zhou Yiruo, Mu Yan nodded, and did not go to Liu Shousi. Instead, he sat down and asked in a low voice: "What is the reason and purpose of Han Shoulin coming to the Taiwei's Mansion tonight?"
After Mu Yan asked the question, there was a moment of silence in the room. Soon, Liu Shousi spoke up to break the silence.
Looking straight ahead, without focus, Liu Shousi spoke with a stiff expression and answered Mu Yan's question: "He came to me to discuss the matter of asking the emperor to make Han Bingning his queen."
really……
Mu Yan smiled coldly and continued to ask: "When did you guys get together? Did you come to him first, or did he come to you?"
"After Han Shoulin returned to China, I sent someone to contact him and I promised him that as long as he submitted a proposal to the emperor with me and listened to my instructions, I would definitely make his granddaughter the queen, better than that Mu Yan."
Liu Shousi's answer made everyone in the room hold their breath and listen attentively as Mu Yan asked quietly: "Then why is Yun Qingshan looking for you?" After that, everyone involuntarily turned their attention to Liu Shousi, but they did not expect it.
After hearing this question, Liu Shousi just sat there silently without saying a word.
"It seems that the other party has been prepared for a long time." Zhou Yiruo sighed quietly and explained the reason. "The Zhu You Technique has been preempted by others. I need time to crack it."
"How long will it take?" Mu Yan held his chin in one hand and looked at Zhou Yiruo and asked.
"Not sure yet," Zhou Yiruo replied honestly to Mu Yan, and then concentrated on cracking the Zhu Youshu on Liu Shousi.
Time passed by, Zhou Yiruo was busy with concentration, and before she knew it, sweat was dripping from her forehead. Mu Yan and others did not rush her, nor did they make any noise to disturb this serious girl. They just waited quietly.
It was not until more than ten minutes passed that Zhou Yiruo looked back at Mu Yan with a smile on his face, and the silence came to an end.
Mu Yan repeated the question in a low voice and listened to Liu Shousi's answer.
"Yun Qingshan asked me to help her because she wants to assassinate the emperor."
"You agreed?" Mu Yan continued to ask
"No"
Liu Shousi's answer made Mu Yan fall into deep thought. If Yun Qingshan came to Liu Shousi and he didn't agree to cooperate, then why did Yun Qingshan stay in the Taiwei Mansion for two days? Liu Shousi's mind is now controlled by Zhou Yiruo.
, Mu Yan has no objection to Zhou Yiruo's strength, so after thinking about it, there is only one reason that Mu Yan can think of, that is, Liu Shousi has been tricked by Yun Qingshan from the first time he saw Yun Qingshan, so
During this period of time, all the conversations and transactions between him and Yun Qingshan were not his own intentions, so they were not recorded in his mind. So in this case, he can still remember which ministers of the DPRK and China he has won over.
Is it difficult for Xia Yifeng to be together?
Mu Yan bit his lower lip and thought about it seriously. Looking at Liu Shousi's stiff gaze, Mu Yan pursed his lips and asked: "Which ministers have you contacted to help Han Bingning? Besides Han Shoulin, who else has joined
Are you involved in this matter?"
Mu Yan asked tentatively, then listened to Liu Shousi speaking slowly and slowly speaking some people's names, and smiled slightly.
Then he asked some more things he wanted to know. After Mu Yan had asked all the questions in his heart, Mu Yan slowly stood up from the chair, walked to Liu Shousi, reached out and hit Liu Shousi with a knife.
faint
Facing Zhou Yiruo's confused look, Mu Yan smiled and said: "Well done, that's all for today. I'll ask Hei Chu to send you back. I have to take this person to the emperor and let him deal with it."
Zhou Yiruo understood the importance of this matter, and after the actions just now, she felt a little tired, so she happily agreed to Mu Yan's words, and left the room side by side with Qi Heichu.
Watching Zhou Yiruo leave, Mu Yan also asked the others to go back and rest, and come back to meet again tomorrow. After everyone was almost gone, Mu Yan led Liu Shousi to the door of the Royal Study Room with an ethereal figure.
Looking at the room still lit by candlelight, and Zhu Jinzhong Muyan who was guarding the door, he shook his head helplessly and walked over.
"Empress, what are you...?" Zhu Jinzhong looked at Mu Yan and the person on her shoulder, his eyes widened in surprise. After seeing the person's appearance clearly, Zhu Jinzhong was even more surprised and couldn't say a word.
