After a pause, he said again: "Can I ask you a favor?"
Xiao Jialan nodded.
Mu Rufeng looked at Xin Ruyi who was being held by Su Xinyue and said, "Send her away from the capital, she... doesn't belong here."
Xiao Jialan felt a little sad when she heard this. She didn't expect that things would turn out like this.
Although Zhao Jie deserved his death, he couldn't just let it go if he accidentally killed someone.
Originally their plan was good, but now it was completely disrupted.
Xiao Jialan took a deep breath and said, "His Royal Highness will save you. Don't be too pessimistic. Besides, you are really willing to let go."
Mu Rufeng was reluctant to part with him, but now that he had killed someone, Yuan Chen would definitely offend the Zhao family if he helped him. No one can cross the law here.
He said: "Take good care of Ruyi for me."
Xiao Jialan nodded and watched Mu Rufeng go straight towards Dali Temple.
Because of Zhao Jie's death, the surroundings were in chaos, so Xiao Jialan stopped staying and left with Su Xinyue and Xin Ruyi.
After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Xiao Jialan ran to find Ye Jinming.
Ye Jinming was in the study room. When he saw Xiao Jialan coming in in a hurry, he put down the book in his hand and said, "What's wrong? Are you running away in such a hurry?"
Xiao Jialan took a breath and said: "Mu Rufeng killed Zhao Jie and now he has gone to Dali Temple to surrender. Brother, please think of a way. He accidentally injured Zhao Jie in order to save sister Ruyi."
"What?"
Ye Jinming stood up and asked in surprise: "Mu Rufeng killed Zhao Jie, what happened?"
Xiao Jialan told him the cause and effect of the matter.
After hearing this, Ye Jinming frowned and said, "Zhao Jie is so audacious. He even dares to kidnap a young lady from our country's government. He deserves to die!"
He slammed the table angrily, his eyes filled with anger.
Xiao Jialan said: "The Zhao family will definitely not give up. Now they are trying to find a way to rescue Mu Rufeng."
Ye Jinming frowned and said, "Don't worry, I'll go find His Royal Highness right now."
Xiao Jialan was worried and said, "I'll go with you."
Ye Jinming patted her shoulder and said: "Don't worry, it was Zhao Jie who broke the law first, and your Majesty is not confused. Zhao Jie has done many evil things on weekdays. Your Majesty turned a blind eye just for the sake of Taifu Zhao."
One eye.
Do you think His Majesty would embarrass a loyal minister and good general for Zhao Jie? Go and see Ruyi, I will solve this matter."
Xiao Jialan nodded, stopped causing trouble to them, and turned back to Caiyun Residence.
Ye Jinming left the house and went to find Yuan Chen. When he arrived, Yuan Chen had already received the news and was planning to visit Dali Temple.
Seeing Ye Jinming coming over, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Teacher Zhao has gone to the palace to meet the saint after learning about Zhao Jie's death!"
Ye Jinming frowned and said with a hint of anger on his face: "He is quite fast. At his age, I thought he would faint when he heard the bad news."
Yuan Chen shrugged and said, "Let's go to Dali Temple first."
Ye Jinming nodded and came to Dali Temple with Yuan Chen.
The Minister of Dali Temple is already quite old, and he will resign in half a year to live in old age. Who would have thought that such a big event would happen at this juncture.
General Mu's son came to surrender, saying that he accidentally killed Zhao Jie. Now that two ministers were involved, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
While I was restless, the Yamen servant came to report that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Ye Shizi were here.
The Minister of Dali Temple shivered with fright, quickly adjusted his official hat and stood up to greet him.
