The person he saw had wheat-colored skin, slightly curly hair on his forehead, and a set of white teeth exposed through his split mouth that looked particularly eye-catching—but it was none other than Mu Wenqing, Marquis of Pingnan, who inherited the title of Marquis at a young age.
On the surface, Mu Wenqing and the Liu family were all affiliated with the Shu king Zhao Xu. Zhao Xu and the prince Zhao Hu had always been incompatible with each other. Meng Yi was quite unhappy with him. When he saw him coming, he snorted coldly and turned his head away. .
Liu Muzhi, on the other hand, smiled and said "Master Hou" to show his closeness.
Mu Wenqing nodded at him in return.
Prince Dingxihou was puzzled: "Marquis Pingnan? I don't seem to have seen you before the hunt."
Mu Wenqing smiled shyly and said: "I went to bed late and came a little late. Fortunately, the prince fainted and did not blame me. Otherwise, I would have to apologize for it."
Meng Yi was careless: "His Royal Highness, Prince Liang, fainted after encountering a wolf. I think that little girl Shen Qingyi may have lost her backbone at this moment. I think she has been carried back to her residence to rest, right?"
But I heard Liu Muzhi say: "I just met Miss Shen in the hunting ground and she was in high spirits. I guess she never left."
Meng Yi wondered: "This is strange! That Miss Shen looks so beautiful, but she doesn't think she is courageous!"
Mu Wenqing smiled and said: "Miss Shen has courage, is it possible that Prince Chu has no courage? Looking at the falling rain, Prince Chu is still hunting with the girls' families in the field. I think the leader today must be Prince Chu. !”
She could never let Liu Muyan ruin her hard-working plan.
Mu Wenqing smiled slightly.
A woman's belongings are usually made of silk and satin, and there are very few things that need to be wrapped in paper. Judging from her cautious appearance, I am afraid that there is something in that paper package.
Although only half of his face was exposed, Shen Qingyi still recognized this person as Liu Muyan, who was supposed to rest alone in the room due to poor health!
Chu Zhengyi pointed to the unconscious woman at his feet.
Shen Qingyi looked at the beautiful figure and couldn't help but feel doubtful.
In her previous life, Liu Muyan had always been favored, and she was even more coveted for the position of queen and competed with her, Queen Qianyi, for favor over and over again. Although she lost to Liu Yan, who came from behind, her methods were also quite ruthless, and she used her illness many times to fight for Zhao Xian's favor. Those who favored concubines were all annihilated by his methods. It seems that even if he is not passionate about Zhao Xian, he is still greedy for power.
"Did that go well for you?"
Chu Zhengyue easily put down the guard, pushed open the door and entered the door.
He weighed the cloth bag in his hand, glanced at the window without leaving a trace, curled his lips, and directly gave Zhao Xian, who was still dazed and somewhat conscious, a blow with his hand.
Shen Qingyi took a closer look at the woman and saw that she was wearing the clothes of a maid. However, looking at her surroundings, she clearly did not look like a maid.
Chu Zhengyue raised his eyebrows in surprise.
His words caused everyone to burst into laughter, and everyone began to laugh at him.
She didn't intend to pay attention to it, but when she was about to leave, she suddenly saw a shadowy figure heading in the same direction.
Chu Zhengyi curled his lips in a half-smile.
Chu Zhengyue glanced at Liu Muyan on the ground, without doubting that he was there, and said: "Nothing, please go back quickly, don't let others notice anything strange."
At this moment, Chu Zhengyue, who was being talked about by everyone, was passing through the tree crowns, heading towards somewhere silently.
Over there, Shen Qingyi jumped off the horse and followed the woman quietly.
Chu Zhengyi's face was expressionless.
Shen Qingyi was confused when he suddenly thought of something.
There was no murderous intent in his eyes, and he strode open the back window, only to see his younger brother Chu Zhengyi standing across the window from him, leaning against a tree with his arms folded.
He easily changed the seal of King Liang in the house, and when he was about to take further action, he suddenly heard a rustling sound at the back window.
Thinking of this, she made up her mind and followed him.
Shen Qingyi said from a distance: "I know!"
"Is that you? What are you doing here?"
Shen Qingyi didn't know which one was true, but she knew that no matter which guess it was, Liu Muyan would probably uncover Chu Zhengyue's sneaking into Zhao Xian's house at this moment.
The girl didn't seem to be riding a horse, but today, all the girls present were riding horses, so why was there a woman walking on foot?
Rolling her eyes, she had an idea and acted excited, reaching out to stop Yue Qixiang and saying: "Qixiang, don't move, it's a red-capped magpie! I'll go over and have a look!"
The girl dressed as a maid never walked through the main entrance, but tiptoed to avoid the guards and walked around the backyard full of wild flowers.
The woman's figure was slender, shadowy, skinny, and she had to rest every step she took. Just looking at her back, you knew she must be a beauty.
As he said that, he rode his horse and chased after him.
The dark red cloud brocade arrow-sleeved robe he was wearing turned into a red shadow, passing in front of Shen Qingyi's eyes.
The woman was obviously walking in the direction of Prince Liang's Mansion, but perhaps because of her poor health, her steps were too slow. Shen Qingyi did not dare to get too close to her, so she hid and hid along the way.
He stood up straight, reached out and pulled the half of the hair tie that was exposed from behind the tree that was blocked by his body. A girl with a ball of cloth in her mouth protested, and he pulled it out.
Yue Qixiang, who was accompanying Shen Qingyi, suddenly noticed a flash of red in front of her eyes, and couldn't help but be confused: "What passed?"
Seeing that she was heading to Prince Liang's place and was painstakingly pretending to be a maid, could it be that she wanted to drug Zhao Xian so that she could marry him and become the princess?
Or do you want to take the opportunity to kill him so that King Zhao Xu or Prince Zhao Hu of Shu can ascend to power?
Shen Qingyi could tell at a glance that the direction the red figure was heading was Zhao Xian's residence.
Chu Zhengyue carefully closed the doors and windows. After a while, there was no movement in the house.
This Liu Muyan has always been a sick beauty who has been suffering from chronic illness. Let alone riding a horse when she goes out, even if the sedan is carried by less than eight people, they are afraid of knocking her out. She drags her sick body all the way to Prince Liang's residence.
What is it doing?
She took advantage of the guard's break to hide behind the low wall and stared at Liu Muyan, but she saw Liu Muyan holding a paper bag under his handkerchief.
At this moment, King Liang was unconscious in bed.
"I accidentally saw this Miss Liu coming here. I was afraid that she would notice you, so I showed up when she came in and knocked her unconscious."
As she said this, Yue Qixiang saw a wild bear. She quickly drew her bow and left Shen Qingyi behind.
Chu Zhengyi nodded.
Shen Qingyi frowned.
Yue Qixiang was caught off guard. When she realized what she was doing, Shen Qingyi had already sprinted far away. Seeing that she couldn't catch up, she had to put her hands to her lips and said, "If you encounter danger, remember to blow the whistle!"
Zhao Xian was completely motionless now.
Shen Qingyi was slightly startled.
The girl has apricot face and peach cheeks, fragrant skin and snow-white skin, and her two arms are bound by a hair tie around her waist, making her unable to move.
But it was Shen Qingyi.
She couldn't make a sound at the moment, and could only stare at Chu Zhengyi with her eyes, her almond-shaped eyes filled with resentment and confusion.
Chu Zhengyi pulled the ball of cloth from her mouth. Shen Qingyi took a deep breath and covered her face: "Chu Zhengyi, you are sick! Why are you tying me up for no reason?!"
