Beside the desk, a man in a yellow brocade robe sat there, his head leaning on the back of the chair, a look of dejection on his face, looking tired and without much energy.
Below, Xiao Yao stood there with a respectful expression and was telling something.
After hearing what Xiao wanted to say, Mu Qingyuan said calmly: "So, Li Congye has found a lot of evidence, and Yang Ao has already confessed?"
"Yes!" Xiao Yao said respectfully. He raised his head and glanced at Mu Qingyuan, with a slight hesitation in his expression. When he went to the government office to inquire, he saw a person. Should he tell the Fourth Prince?
With a sneer, Mu Qingyuan suddenly sat upright. He put his hands on the table, looked at the flute below, and said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for the matter of the Seventh Young Master, my father would not reject my request. Then
The matter of presiding over Yang Ao this time will definitely fall on me. If I were the presiding judge, how could it be like this?" At the end of the sentence, a hint of anger appeared in his eyes.
Xiao Yao looked suspicious and said, "My lord, how can you be so sure that there is someone behind Yang Ao?"
Mu Qingyuan's mouth tilted slightly, his gaze fell on the room, and he said calmly: "Why else do you think my father attaches so much importance to this case?"
Do you take it seriously? Xiao Yao looked at Mu Qingyuan in surprise. The person who was reviewing the case today was just a small official. If he really took it seriously, why would he hand it over to a lowly official so casually?
"However, fortunately, Li Gongye did not ask about the mastermind behind it. I still have a chance." Mu Qingyuan looked ahead coldly. It should be his, and no one else can take it away. He continued, "You...
Pay attention in a few days and take a closer look at the officials in Liangdu for any abnormalities. If you find anything, come and tell me in time."
"Yes, but I don't understand, my lord, what are you trying to do?" Xiao Yao thought for a moment and asked.
Taking a deep breath, Mu Qingyuan looked at him and said calmly: "Didn't you notice? The whereabouts of the 750,000 taels of silver are still unknown. Didn't they say that the silver disappeared as soon as it left Liangdu? Why did you
Without making any assumptions, the 750,000 taels of silver may have disappeared before we even left Liangdu."
Hearing this, Xiao Yao was shocked. He had not expected this at all, but who dared to attack Han Yin directly in Liangdu?!
"The most important thing now is to find out the whereabouts of the 750,000 taels of silver. That is the most important evidence." Mu Qingyuan did not look at Xiao Yao. He said in a low voice. This time, he must win the game.
, otherwise my father would not trust him as before.
Suddenly, Mu Qingyuan thought of something, and his eyes fell on Xiao Yao again, "Is there any whereabouts of the Seventh Young Master now?"
Xiao Yao came back to his senses, lowered his head, and said respectfully: "The emperor has ordered the removal of their seal over at Linglong Pavilion. His subordinates have sent people to guard there. The Seventh Young Master has not appeared so far. In fact, this matter has not been resolved.
It was a little strange at the beginning, it was obviously the emperor who granted the marriage himself, why did he suddenly withdraw the imperial edict?"
After hearing these words, Mu Qingyuan's eyebrows slightly arched. He looked forward with a thoughtful expression. What Xiao Yao said was true. When his father reprimanded him that day, he clearly seemed to know everything. He had lost the imperial edict and was being punished by others.
He seemed to have seen it, and he was not given any chance to defend himself at that time. Could it be that someone secretly told him? Also, the person who was chasing him and Xiao Yao that day seemed to have disappeared.
Generally, there is no news at all.
"My lord, tell me, could it be the sixth prince who tipped off the emperor?" Xiao Yao thought for a moment, lowered his head, and whispered.
Caressing his forehead, Mu Qingyuan felt a headache. There were too many mysteries in front of him. He shook his head and said, "No, if he really reports the news to his father, his father may not believe him. The entire palace
Inside, the person that my father is least likely to trust is him."
"Your Highness is so sure?" Xiao Yao couldn't help but ask. He had been with Mu Qingyuan these years. Although he didn't have much dealings with Mu Jingnan, he spent a lot of time seeing him. Most likely, he was looking for flowers. However, the more he lingered like this
For a person among the flowers and grass, it is even more impossible for people to know what he is thinking, because as a prince, who would be willing to give up the position of crown prince? Who doesn't want to dominate the world?
Shaking his head again, Mu Qingyuan looked forward, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, "Of course, my father once scolded him for being born to overpower his father and overpower his mother. He was a lone star in the sky and hindered the prosperity of the country. In fact, I know that my father
The reason why the emperor hates him is that I am sure that my father will never like him, and even if my father does not pass the throne to me, it will never be his turn."
Seeing Mu Qingyuan's confident expression, Xiao Yao had doubts in her heart, but she suppressed them.
"What are the prince's plans regarding the Seventh Young Master?" Xiao Yao asked, changing the subject.
Mu Qingyuan looked ahead coldly, "Although I don't know how he got involved with Mu Jingnan, but since he chose Mu Jingnan, I will not let him go. If there is any news about him,
, there is no need to come to retaliate, just kill without mercy!"
"Yes!" Xiao Yao agreed solemnly.
Yunxiang Mansion
Just when he was at the gate of Dongyuan, Yun Yan heard a burst of noise inside Dongyuan, mixed with the clang of rubble colliding and the sound of people talking.
Listening to this voice, Yun Yan felt a little suspicious. It was like moving here, and there was quite a lot of movement. If she remembered correctly, she didn't ask anyone to come and clean up Dongyuan in the past few days.
Entering the courtyard, Yun Yan only saw people everywhere carrying flower pots back and forth. The camellias had been moved, and many new ones were even added, and the dead leaves and fallen flowers in the courtyard had also been cleaned up.
After grabbing a person, Yun Yan said in a deep voice: "Who asked you to come here?"
The man glanced at Yun Yan, ignored her, and continued to carry the flower pots.
Yun Yan looked around as he walked, full of doubts in his heart as to why Dongyuan had undergone such a big change in just a short while.
At this time, Bishui came out of Suxuan Pavilion. When she saw Yunyan, she quickly came up to her, took her right arm and said: "Miss, look, are they beautiful? These camellias are said to be from Liangdu."
What about the latest variety? Not only is it fragrant and pleasant, but it can also cultivate your body and mind.”
Cultivating one's moral character and nourishing one's character? Listening to these words, Yun Yan couldn't help but look at Bishui. When did she need to cultivate one's moral character? This girl usually doesn't study, so why is she still talking nonsense? However, she wanted to know what was going on in this yard.
thing?
"Where did you get these flowers? What happened to those people?" Yun Yan looked directly at the people moving the flower pots and said.
When Bishui heard this, he covered his mouth and said with a smile: "How can I not do that? Of course this flower was sent by that person!"
Who? Hearing this, Yun Yan looked at the clear water in surprise, and then at the flowers. All the newly added flowers were holy medicines. Even when she smelled the fragrance of the flowers, she felt a lot more relaxed.
.She did not stop and entered Suxuan Pavilion directly.
"Well, isn't this right here?" Bishui looked at the room with a smile. Next to the table, a man in a plain white gown was sitting there. He was drinking tea leisurely. When he saw Yun Yan coming in,
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a smile, "Yan'er is back so early?"
When Yun Yan heard this voice, his face suddenly stiffened, and he looked at the place where the voice originated, and at the man sitting at the table. He looked at her with a smile on his face. Why was he here?
Bishui snickered, let go of Yun Yan, saluted and said, "I will prepare some snacks now, please leave first." After saying that, without waiting for Yun Yan to say anything, she exited the room and closed the door.
"Are you satisfied with the layout outside?" Mu Jingnan stood up and looked at Yun Yan and said calmly, but his eyes fell on her exactly.
Were those things he specially sent to treat her injuries? Does she deserve others to treat him like this? A different kind of emotion filled Yunyan's eyes.
With a chuckle, Yun Yan raised his head, calmed down, and looked at Mu Jingnan funny. Didn't he understand what she said? Didn't he tell him not to get close to her again? He did it on purpose.
?
Yun Yan took a few steps towards Mu Jingnan, walked up to him, raised his head, looked at him and said, "Yun Yan appreciates the kindness of the Sixth Prince, but I don't need it. I will invite the Sixth Prince in the future..."
"
Before he finished speaking, Mu Jingnan suddenly reached out and grabbed Yun Yan's left hand.
Feeling the strength in her arm, Yunyan was about to shake her hands and break away from him. She shouted in a low voice: "Don't..." Touch me. Before she could say the next two words, the person next to her interrupted her.
"Don't move! Be careful of touching the wound!" Mu Jingnan shouted in a low voice. He looked at the injured place on Yunyan's left arm with burning eyes, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, and he whispered, "Move this again."
I don’t know when the wound will heal.”
Listening to these words and looking at that side of the face, Yun Yan felt that his heartbeat was speeding up for no reason, and he had already forgotten that his arm was still being held by him.
Gritting his teeth, Yun Yan turned his face away and whispered: "You will make others misunderstand!"
"What is the misunderstanding? Where is the misunderstanding?" Mu Jingnan withdrew his gaze and looked at the woman beside him with interest. It was rare to see her look like this, with all her sharpness and gentleness.
Yun Yan suddenly looked at the man next to her, meeting his searching gaze, with a somewhat annoyed look on her face. How could he not understand what she meant? She breathed a sigh of relief and regained her indifferent expression, "I thank you for this.
I have done so much, but it is impossible for me to..."
However, before she finished speaking, a pair of broad arms suddenly hugged her, and her head was buried directly in a solid embrace. A deep voice came from her ears, "Nothing is impossible. As long as I am here, it will never be possible."
Let something happen to you." God knows how worried he was just now, worried that something would happen to her, even if she was injured in the slightest, he would not allow it.
As long as I am here, I will never let anything happen to you? Listening to this, Yun Yan's eyes widened. Is this his promise? How could she bear such a promise! That day in the Sixth Prince's Mansion, although he didn't say anything,
But she could still feel some of his emotions. He was so uncool and gloomy, and it seemed that it was all because of her. But, weren't some things never ending from the beginning?
Yun Yan broke away from Mu Jingnan's arm and lowered her head. There were some things that needed to be explained clearly. She whispered: "Mu Jingnan, I admit that your appearance made my heart waver. These things
I was caught off guard. I never thought that one day I would become angry because of someone, my heart would beat faster because of someone's appearance, and I would feel inexplicably at ease because of someone's appearance." At this point, she couldn't help but wonder.
He caressed his chest consciously and closed his eyes slightly.
Looking at the woman next to him, Mu Jingnan's expression froze. Is she admitting that she also likes him? He felt an unprecedented joy rising in his heart. It turned out that as long as he heard her affirmation, he would
Such a loss of heart and soul.
Yun Yan pursed her lips lightly, raised her head, opened her eyes, looked at the man beside her, and said in a trembling voice: "But I have no heart, Mu Jingnan, I have no heart!" Her hand touched her chest tightly, she
But isn't she about to lose her heart? She retreated unconsciously, slowly retreating. She could no longer get close to this man. There seemed to be a kind of magic about him. The closer she got, the more she would fall into his gentleness.
Did he treat the woman next to him like this? Thinking of this, she felt an inexplicable pain in her heart.
"No matter what you have done, you are the one I recognize. I, Mu Jingnan, will never let go." Mu Jingnan took a few steps forward and approached her. He stared at her closely. He couldn't let her go.
Escape from his range. Once she escapes, he has no guarantee that he can catch her.
Yun Yan lowered her head, her expression full of pain. She looked up at Mu Jingnan, bit her lip and said, "Do you know me? When we first met, didn't you hate me? I just
The ugly girl of the Yun family! A person who is despised by everyone. Have you seen this birthmark on her face? How ugly! Don’t come near me!" She pointed at the birthmark on her face and said in a trembling voice.
Mu Jingnan raised his hand and slowly approached her cheek. His hand was trembling a little, and he gently stroked the birthmark on her face. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he said softly: "Who said that was our first birthmark?"
We met once? Do you believe it? Sometimes, just one glance can mean a lifetime!"
Feeling the touch on his face, Yun Yan opened his mouth. What did he mean?
"Maybe you have a lot of worries now, maybe you don't believe it, but I will prove it to you." Mu Jingnan whispered, his eyes were full of her. He never thought that one day he would do it for someone.
This woman has lost her sense of proportion.
Feeling his burning gaze, Yunyan lowered her head unnaturally and couldn't look into his eyes, otherwise, she would fall! Even though there were some things she didn't want to think about, she had to face them, took a few steps back, and walked away.
Taking Mu Jingnan's hand, she whispered: "Yesterday, why did your people go to the prison?"
"He followed the people from Gaofu and ended up there!" Mu Jingnan said without hesitation.
After hearing this, Yun Yan raised his head and looked at Mu Jingnan suspiciously, but he didn't expect him to tell the truth like this. The man said the same thing yesterday.
"Why?" Yun Yan pondered for a moment and then suddenly said.
Mu Jingnan said without thinking: "Of course I hope to catch evidence of Gao Qi's corruption and bring him to justice!"
"You hate him?" Yun Yan hesitated for a moment and said, she had not thought of this before.
Shaking his head slightly, Mu Jingnan said indifferently: "I don't hate it. How is that possible? Gao Yueli killed my mother and concubine back then. This hatred is irreconcilable." After saying this, his expression also showed a bit of hatred.
He actually told her this without hesitation? Looking back, Yun Yan suddenly smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell her?"
"You can't!" Mu Jingnan said directly.
Listening to these words, a hint of surprise flashed across Yun Yan's expression. He believed her so much?
"I thought you were doing it for the throne." Yun Yan suddenly said, changing the topic. He believed her in this way, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Mu Jingnan suddenly looked at Yun Yan and said in a deep voice, "Do you want this world?" He looked at her intently, his expression indescribable solemnity.
Being stared at by this gaze, Yun Yan was stunned. What did he mean? She suddenly smiled and said: "Sixth Prince, it's better not to be joking. This world cannot be what I say I want." No.
She knew why. The more he talked, the more she seemed to be led by him, and she unconsciously looked away.
Mu Jingnan still looked at Yun Yan and said calmly: "If you want..."
As soon as these words came out, Yun Yan immediately interrupted him and said, "Stop talking!" She looked at Mu Jingnan and said in a deep voice, "Mu Jingnan, I still have doubts in my heart, many doubts, please tell me
A lot, but I only want one word from you."
Upon hearing this, Mu Jingnan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt relieved. He smiled and said, "You tell me."
Yun Yan closed her eyes. If she can't escape, if she needs to give everyone an explanation, if this is the case, everyone can be happy, okay, she admits that she likes Mu Jingnan, she likes it, she has to admit that she likes it. She
Slowly opening her eyes, her eyes were clear and bright. She looked at him with unprecedented solemnity.
"You can't lie to me at any time or anything! You don't have to love me, but you can never lie to me! Can you agree?" She calmed down and whispered. In this life, what she hates most is cheating!
Upon hearing this, Mu Jingnan's expression suddenly froze. He looked at her face, which seemed to be filled with gloom like dark clouds. He opened and closed his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Okay!"
Nodding her head, Yunyan gasped in a low voice. She sat down suddenly. Perhaps because of her nervousness just now, she was a little breathless now.
"Yan'er, what's wrong with you?" Mu Jingnan looked at Yun Yan nervously and whispered. Seeing her increasingly pale face, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, "I'll go find a doctor for you!" As he said,
He turned to leave.
Seeing this, Yun Yan grabbed him and said in a low voice: "Don't worry about me, these are all old problems. I have had this problem since I was a child. Don't worry, I am taking medicine myself. I will be fine after I rest."
It's okay, the flowers you sent are even better medicine."
After hearing this, Mu Jingnan's frown relaxed a little. He thought something had happened to her just now, but looking at her weak expression, he whispered: "This is all because of the Liu family's mother and daughter.
?"
Looking at Mu Jingnan in surprise, Yun Yan exclaimed, "You know all this?!"
"You guessed it! I'll carry you to the bed to rest." Mu Jingnan didn't look at her, picked her up and walked into the cabinet.
Yun Yan sighed inwardly. He had a very good relationship with Aunt Xuening, so he naturally knew about her affairs. Seeing him completely losing his disguise in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little depressed. When would she ever listen to other people's words?
However, I felt so warm and at ease in his arms.
Putting Yunyan on the bed, Mu Jingnan covered her with a quilt. He smoothed the hair between her forehead, a trace of sympathy flashed across his face, and the two looked at each other, saying nothing for a long time.
Seeing that Yun Yan was not sleepy at all, Mu Jingnan stood up and said, "You have a good rest. I'll leave first and I'll see you another day."
Seeing Mu Jingnan's gaze shift away, Yun Yan felt a lot more relaxed. She nodded, let go of his hand, and said, "Yeah."
Mu Jingnan suddenly leaned down, Yun Yan's eyes widened, and she felt a wisp of hot breath passing by her forehead.
Seeing Yun Yan's shocked expression, a smile appeared on Mu Jingnan's lips, and he turned around and left.
What happened to her? Yun Yan was stunned there. She didn't even know when Mu Jingnan left. When she woke up, she directly covered her head under the quilt. What should she do? She unexpectedly got drunk because of this dragonfly's inkling.
The kiss made me feel confused.
Not long after Mu Jingnan left, the door was pushed open again, and Bishui walked in. She looked at the person sleeping with his head covered on the bed, covered her mouth and snickered. This was the first time she saw the young lady like this.
.
After a long while, Bishui coughed and said, "Miss, how long are you going to sleep in secret? The Sixth Prince has already left."
After hearing this, Yun Yan poked her head out from under the quilt. She looked at Bishui. She was clearly laughing at her. She frowned slightly, sat up and said angrily: "You girl!"
"Okay, Miss, there is no need to pretend anymore. In fact, I quite like the Sixth Prince. He is sincerely good to Miss. He is much more sincere than those who said he likes Miss before. Just look at the flowers he sent, and every time
The pots are all worth thousands of gold, and some are even priceless treasures. By the way, miss, what did you just say to the Sixth Prince?" Bishui said with a smile, seeing the miss happy is also her happiness.
Yun Yan glanced at Bishui. This girl had been siding with Mu Jingnan a long time ago. However, what did he say to Mu Jingnan just now? Why is there no impression now? It seems, as if she promised Mu Jingnan
What the hell? She just feels like her head is in a tight mess now.
After a while, Yun Yan sorted out his thoughts, looked at Bishui and said, "How did you go about the things I asked you to do?"
Hearing this, Bishui stopped joking. She looked at Yun Yan and said confidently: "I'll do the work. Don't worry, miss, the letter has already been in his hands." At this point, she couldn't help but ask.
She said, "Miss, are you sure?" She always felt that this matter was a bit uncertain.
Smiling slightly, Yunyan looked forward with deep eyes. She chuckled and said, "Actually, I don't know, it's all... guessing!"
Guess? Hearing this, Bishui looked at Yunyan in astonishment. When would the young lady do something that she was not sure about? However, she suddenly felt relieved. Looking at the young lady, she should be confident. But her smile,
As if there was no hidden meaning, she decided in her mind that it must be related to the Sixth Prince.
Yun Yan suddenly looked outside, feeling solemn in his heart. Since he had agreed to Mu Jingnan, the agreement with Ye Mei might not be fulfilled. It seemed that he was quite busy at night!
ps: Please give me a monthly ticket - there will be more updates tomorrow, okay?
