Xiao Chengyi sent Mu Yun'an back before returning to the wing. Xuan Du was waiting for him in the room. When he saw him coming back, he said in a calm voice: "You are so bold."
As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of him.
Xiao Chengyi sat down at the table, took a sip of the tea and said, "Yan Yan really wants to change the fate of everyone, including Shen Chi and Mu Xuechu. I thought she would blame me, but she didn't."
He thought of Mu Yun'an's tearful eyes. It seemed that her tears had not stopped since she was reborn. He had said that he did not want her to cry anymore.
But he didn't do it.
Xuan Du glanced at him and asked, "You didn't tell her?"
Xiao Chengyi shook his head, looking a little tired: "I'm not sure if I succeeded. If I failed, why would she let her joy be in vain?"
Xuan Du nodded and asked, "What are your plans next?"
Xiao Chengyi's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Xuandu with a deep gaze: "I originally wanted you to meet Princess Jiahe, but I didn't expect that such a thing would happen. I can only bear with you for a few days, and I think The time has come, you should be ready to be your national advisor."
Xuan Du's eyebrows moved. Although he felt a little disappointed because he couldn't see Jiahe now, he believed that he would be able to see her openly before long.
He has been waiting for this for so long in his previous life, will he still miss it by just a few days?
"What do you need me to do?"
Xuandu asked him.
Xiao Chengyi thought for a while and then said: "Go back to the General's Mansion first, help me watch over Mu Xuechu and don't let her do anything stupid, and wait for my news."
"good."
Xuan Du responded, got up and left, but when he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped, looked back at Xiao Chengyi and said: "Even if you fail, there is no need to blame yourself, because you have worked hard, no one will blame you, remember You are a human, not a god!"
Xiao Chengyi was stunned for a moment, but when he came to his senses, he saw that Xuan Du had already left. He smiled slightly and his already dull mood suddenly became much more relaxed.
...
General's Mansion.
Mu Xuechu was taking care of Brother Rui who was unconscious, but she felt uneasy for some reason today. She thought it was because she didn't sleep well, and didn't care. She just shook her head and picked up the medicine bowl on the small table. .
Unexpectedly, she didn't hold her head steady, and the medicine bowl shattered with a loud bang, spilling stains all over her body.
Mu Xuechu hurriedly wiped the concoction on her body with a handkerchief, then leaned over to pick up the fragments on the ground. The fragments were too sharp and accidentally cut her finger, causing blood to flow out.
She looked at the blood on her fingers, and her eyelids suddenly jumped a few times. Suddenly she heard the door being pushed open, and a maid hurriedly ran in and knelt on the ground and said: "Madam, it's not good. Master Shen...he is dead!"
Mu Xuechu was in a daze and could not react for a moment: "Who did you say is dead?"
The maid choked and replied: "It's Shenchi, Master Shen!"
Mu Xuechu's eyes widened, and her expression suddenly changed. She was stunned for a moment before she stood up and ran over, holding the maid's shoulders and asking: "What did you say? Who died?"
The maid was startled by her and said in a trembling voice: "It's Shen Chi, Aunt Shen. Someone just came to report that Lord Shen has been executed for assassinating His Majesty in Fahua Temple!"
Mu Xuechu was shocked when she heard this. She froze and staggered back a few steps, muttering: "It's impossible, this is impossible, I don't believe it!"
After saying that, he ran out.
When Mu Xue came out of the yard, she saw the old lady rushing over. She hurriedly greeted her and asked, "Mom, just now a maid said that Shen Chi was dead. Isn't that true?"
The old lady looked at her daughter with red eyes. She tremblingly stretched out her hand to touch Mu Xuechu's face and said, "Chu'er, mother didn't expect Shen Chi to do this. How could he assassinate His Majesty?"
