"Sixth Prince Mingjian, even if you have the courage to humble yourself, you will not dare to pay for the assassination of the Sixth Princess." Wu Qi knelt on the ground, his body shaking like chaff. He tried his best to restrain the panic in his heart and suppress his trembling voice,
Pretending to be calm, he did not let his abnormal expression be seen by Long Chenyi and Mu Tianxue in the palace.
However, he obviously failed. Despite his efforts to restrain his fear, his trembling body had betrayed him. As the saying goes, if you don't do anything bad on weekdays, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. If you haven't done anything to harm others, there's no need to be scared.
of panic.
"Commander Wu, you should be protecting your father in the palace at this time! Why are you here? Could it be that this prince sent people to the palace to arrest you and falsely accused you of assassinating the Sixth Princess?"
Long Chen also stared coldly at the trembling Wu Qi, with a cold and bloodthirsty look in his cold eyes. A small leader dared to play tricks in front of him, and even dared to deny the assassination he planned.
"Please calm down the Sixth Prince. The crime of understating one's duty is worthy of death. I took a leave of absence for a month to go back to my hometown to visit my relatives. I passed by this place and before I could see the Sixth Prince and the Sixth Princess, they were drugged and tied up. Please
The Sixth Prince, the Sixth Imperial Concubine, Mingjian."
Wu Qi was kowtowing while trying to find a way to escape the crime. He did leave the palace on the grounds of taking leave to visit relatives in his hometown. The emperor sent him to assassinate Mu Tianxue. This was a secret mission. On the surface, he was allowed to take leave and return in one month.
Xiang actually gave him the task of assassinating Mu Tianxue.
Now that the Sixth Prince asked this question, he used it as an excuse to explain why he left the palace and appeared here.
"What do you mean, Commander Wu, is this worthless slave catching you by mistake, and then coming to deal with me?" Mu Tianxue put down the teacup in his hand and walked down the hall, with a cold look in his eyes.
A chill that pierces the heart.
"My subordinates did not dare to deal with my master. After receiving the signal from his subordinates, this man rushed over and asked his subordinates whether the master was dead. If he was not the one who paid for the murder, how could he accept the murder?
Upon receiving the signal from his subordinates, he hurried over and brought with him a reward for the success of the project."
As Lin Yue'er spoke, she knelt and moved to Wu Qi's side, took out a wad of banknotes from his chest, handed it to Mu Tianxue, and said fearfully: "I don't dare to deceive my master. This person is
The man who bought the murder."
Mu Tianxue took the banknotes and glanced at the amount of the banknotes with cold eyes. Each one was a thousand yuan banknote. She sneered, looked at Wu Qi and said: "Commander Wu, you really know how to read."
Gong, when you make a move, it's a big deal! These banknotes are at least hundreds of thousands taels. It seems that my life is still very valuable."
After speaking, Mu Tianxue slammed the banknote in his hand on Wu Qi's head, and sternly scolded: "You are so brave, you dare to pay someone to assassinate me, and you dare to quibble in public to deceive me and others.
The Sixth Prince, it seems that not only do you not take me and the Sixth Prince seriously, but you also take the entire royal family seriously."
"I dare not, in my humble position, I dare not in my humble position have the intention to assassinate the Sixth Imperial Concubine, let alone the selfish intention of the following criminals. Please calm down the Sixth Imperial Concubine and the Sixth Prince."
Wu Qi was kowtowing like garlic. From the beginning to the end, he didn't dare to look up. Long Chenyi and Mu Tianxue didn't even realize that the Mu Tianxue standing next to him was no longer the ugly Mu Tianxue.
Thinking about how to deal with it and how to get out.
"Hmph..." Mu Tianxue looked at Wu Qi coldly and asked: "Commander Wu does not dare to have the intention to assassinate me, but he dares to assassinate me, and he can still spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. See
Come on, Commander Wu’s salary is not high in general, but higher than that of a first-class prime minister, and higher than that of the entire general’s palace.”
"This...please ask the Sixth Princess to investigate clearly. I borrowed this bank note from my humble position at Jinxiu Bank. I borrowed it to return home and honor my parents. How could a humble commander come up with so many bank notes?"
In order to make life easier for my parents back home, I borrowed a banknote from the bank. Concubine Sixth Princess, you can take a look. This banknote also has the seal of Jinxiu Bank."
Wu Qi's lips trembled in fear, and his teeth trembled up and down. Although he was a mere commander of the Royal Forest Army, his salary was very high, but he could not afford so many silver notes. These silver notes were received from the inner treasury on orders to complete the mission.
, and then the money is transferred to the bank and converted into bank notes. Firstly, it is to prevent the identity of the murderer from being discovered by the other party. Secondly, it is easier to carry banknotes than silver.
"Joke..." Mu Tianxue sneered, turned around and sat on a chair, and said coldly: "A bank is a place to make money, not a place to lose money. What did your little commander use to borrow so much money?"
Even if you pay for the tickets, your life will not be exchanged for these hundreds of thousands of silver taels."
"Commander Wu, if you don't shed tears without seeing the coffin, you dare to deceive and fool me. If you commit any of the following crimes, I will kill you with one sword."
Long Chenyi, who was sitting in the hall, looked at Wu Qi angrily and coldly. Seeing that he was still making excuses at this point, murderous intent arose in his heart. He couldn't save more than 100,000 taels of silver notes in his lifetime, let alone the commander.
Even if he was given two more lifetimes, he wouldn't be able to accumulate it, unless he was ordered to collect the money from the inner treasury and then go to the bank to convert it. Can't you see that he is a fool for this small amount?
"Please calm down the Sixth Prince. I don't dare to deceive the Sixth Prince due to my humble position, let alone fool the Sixth Prince." Wu Qi raised his bloodless face and looked at the cold-blooded Long Chenyi, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly looked at
Mu Tianxue was sitting not far away. He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Mu Tianxue, showing a look of surprise. What a beautiful woman.
Then, he raised his eyes and looked around. The person who had been questioning him before was probably Mu Tianxue, but why didn't he see Mu Tianxue? He had seen Mu Tianxue when Mu Tianxue kidnapped Concubine Lian, because her face was
The ugly birthmark on her face and her eyes as cold as sharp swords impressed him the most.
But there was no figure of Mu Tianxue in the main hall. Instead, there was a woman who was as pure and as beautiful as a fairy. He once again cast his gaze on the woman. His horrified eyes looked directly into the woman's cold eyes. His heart trembled.
These icy cold eyes were exactly the ones I saw at the palace gate that day. Could it be that she was? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible?
"How dare you, Wu Qi, how dare you spy on my prince's concubine. Someone, drag him down and deal with him."
Long Chenyi's cold eyes were full of shocking killing intent. He originally wanted to kill Wu Qi with one sword, but when he saw him looking at Mu Tianxue intently, the anger in his heart became even stronger. Her woman
, no man is allowed to look at it more, and he will kill anyone who looks at it.
"What? Is he really Mu Tianxue?" Wu Qi couldn't believe his ears. This stunningly beautiful woman would be the ugly girl rumored in the capital. No, to him, it was not a rumor either. He
I have seen it with my own eyes. Her ugliness and this woman are simply like a fairy and an ugly ghost. How could they be the same?
Seeing Wu Qi's shocked eyes and unsteady expression, Mu Tianxue sneered, looked directly at him with cold eyes, and ordered in a cold voice: "Pull down!"
Hong Yi and Lu Yi, who were already holding Wu Qi, dragged Wu Qi back and retreated. Wu Qi knew that he had to die today, so he stopped struggling. However, the surprise in his eyes did not go away, and he still did not dare
He believed that the ugly girl Mu Tianxue would be the beautiful woman he saw.
