When Xiao Chengyi left the study, it was already dark. When he returned to Tingfeng Court, he saw his mother Xin Ruyi walking back and forth in the room.
Obviously waiting in a hurry.
He coughed lightly and walked in quickly.
Xin Ru saw him coming back and hurriedly came forward to greet him and asked, "How is it? Is he seriously injured?"
Xiao Chengyi listened to her words full of concern, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he whispered: "He was not seriously injured, but he knew my identity, and I felt that keeping him here might be a hidden danger, so I came here
His medicine was poisoned."
"What?"
Xin Ruyi's eyes widened with horror on her face: "You want to kill him?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "The fewer people who know my life experience, the better. Although he keeps our mother and son in his house, there is no guarantee that he has no other purpose.
Mother, you may not know that my father hid the imperial seal when he rebelled. Only I know the whereabouts of this imperial seal.
General Mu has always been loyal to the emperor, maybe he wants to find out the whereabouts of the jade seal from me, so this person cannot stay, mother, let’s pack our luggage quickly and leave the general’s residence.”
Xin Ruyi was a little anxious: "But what if he is really protecting you? Aren't you afraid of killing a good person by mistake?"
Xiao Chengyi looked determined, as if he was a different person: "I would rather kill him by mistake than let him go. Besides, my father died in his hands. Don't you want to avenge my father?"
"Yi'er!"
Xin Ruyi scolded him sharply: "Have you forgotten what your mother taught you? How can you kill innocent people indiscriminately before finding out the truth of the matter?
Furthermore, General Mu protects his family and country and is a hero of Beichen who guards the southern border. If he dies, the southern border will be in chaos and the people will lose their lives. Can you bear it?"
Xiao Chengyi's face was expressionless, and he stared at Xin Ruyi and asked: "Mom, do you like General Mu? In the past, you would support me no matter what my son decided, but this time you came to accuse me."
Xin Ruyi was startled, Xiao Chengyi's words kept echoing in her mind, did she like Mu Rufeng? Did she like him? She didn't know, but her heart ached when she thought that the man would lose his life like this.
No, he can't die!
"Yi'er, I'm sorry that I can't stand by your side this time."
Xin Ruyi left these words and ran out of the room, quickly disappearing into the yard.
Xiao Chengyi looked at her leaving back and raised the corners of his lips slightly. If he didn't stimulate her like this, given his mother's stubborn temper, he didn't know how long it would take for him to see his heart clearly.
He was very happy that she could respect her inner choice, and it was precisely because of her mother who could distinguish right from wrong that he was not blinded by hatred and lost himself.
Xiao Chengyi firmly believes that one day he will find out the truth and clear his biological parents' innocence.
...
Xin Ruyi ran all the way to Zhengwei Hall and arrived at the dormitory where Mu Rufeng lived. She opened the door and saw Mu Rufeng drinking medicine.
She exclaimed: "No."
Mu Rufeng raised his head and saw Xin Ruyi running over, knocking over the medicine bowl in his hand, and said anxiously: "Don't drink it."
