Chapter 1103 The Empress Dowager Comes to Rongzhou
The subordinate replied: "Someone reported that Grand Tutor Cheng Lixue arrived in Rongzhou."
I have also heard of Cheng Lixue’s famous name, Mu Yunxiu, who is also a famous figure.
He frowned slightly and asked, "What is he doing in Rongzhou?"
The subordinate replied: "I'm not sure about the details. It is said that he came here for the Crown Princess."
Mu Yunxiu's eyes were a little colder: "The Crown Princess came to Rongzhou?"
This incident surprised him a little.
Last time, he was ordered by Princess Bei to go to Fushou Temple to besiege and kill the Crown Princess, but she escaped.
During the whole process, he was not able to meet Tang Miaoxin face to face.
Although everyone at the time said that the Crown Princess was a big idiot, she had a very powerful maid beside her.
But Mu Yunxiu felt that this matter was not that simple.
If the imperial concubine was really a loser, she would not be obsessed with Ji Mengyu, and she would not be tempted by Dayan's Qinzhou to be hired by Dayan's country.
After he caught Ji Mengyu, he asked Ji Mengyu what kind of person the Crown Princess was.
Ji Mengyu's answer was quite intriguing. He cried: "She is the best woman in the world, but it's a pity that she doesn't want me, and I can't beat Ning Guzhou."
When Mu Yunxiu heard Ji Mengyu say this, he felt that this guy was mentally ill.
Now that he finally knew a little bit about the feeling of being worried, he felt something else. The princess might be completely different from the trash in the rumors.
The counterattack in Fushou Temple that day may not have been the work of the maid next to the Crown Princess, but hers.
The subordinate replied: "I don't know much about this matter."
"If the military advisor wants to investigate, I will bring him over now."
Mu Yunxiu, out of selfish motives, wanted to find Tang Miaoxin tonight even if he searched the entire city.
He still had his own responsibilities, and after knowing that the late princess might come to Rongzhou, he could not leave her alone.
He coughed several times. After he finally stopped coughing, his subordinates brought him over.
Mu Yunxiu had also met that man before, and he was a fairly famous scribe in the city.
The scribe bowed to Mu Yunxiu when he saw him. He was not in the mood to play with these false gifts and asked directly: "Have you really met Grand Tutor Cheng Lixue?"
The scribe replied: "I studied at Guozilin in Dayan for several years. When I met Cheng Lixue, I was considered to be half of his registered disciple."
"When I was young, I promised to give him a house, and he could come and stay at any time."
"About ten days ago, he suddenly came to my door. I was very surprised. Because I had an appointment, I invited him to stay in one of my houses."
"I suddenly heard yesterday that after he stopped working as the head of the Imperial Academy in Dayan, he went to Guiqian and became the tutor of the empress dowager. I was really shocked."
"After much thought, I still felt that this matter was somewhat appropriate, so I reported the matter to Mr. Fu Yin."
"Unexpectedly, he was so smart that he actually set up many formations in my house. After we broke through the formations and entered, he had disappeared."
Cheng Lixue only accepted Tang Miaoxin as a disciple, but before her, he also accepted some talented people as registered disciples.
This scribe is one of the relatively outstanding ones.
Mu Yunxiu's eyes turned cold: "Did he say why he came to Rongzhou?"
The scribe replied: "He didn't say much, but I once accidentally heard him mention it when chatting with his companions, saying that the crown prince came to Rongzhou."
"He came here to help the Crown Princess do a big thing. As for what that big thing was, they didn't say clearly. After I failed to trick him out, they didn't ask again."
Mu Yunxiu vaguely felt that there was a huge murderous intention behind this incident.
The Crown Princess came to Rongzhou to do important things. He could figure it out with just a cursory thought.
Mu Yunxiu combined with the anomalies in Dingbei Palace during this period, and knew that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess had probably entered Dingbei Palace.
But there are so many people in Dingbei Palace, who is the Crown Princess?
The first thing Mu Yunxiu had to suspect was the people Lu Xianchen brought back.
He did not suspect that Lu Xianchen had betrayed the Dingbei Palace, but he simply felt that Lu Xianchen was too stupid to be pushed into his side by the king without knowing it.
If the Crown Princess is really caught among the people Lu Xianchen brought back, who is the real Crown Princess?
Mu Yunxiu first thought of Qiu Shuang, but this answer was quickly rejected by him.
If Qiu Shuang was really the Crown Princess, the spy would not kill her today, let alone take her hostage.
She wouldn't say that in front of him.
Not to mention, the Crown Princess's status is so noble, it is impossible for her to look like this.
He also remembered the last time he was ordered by the North King to investigate the ghost of the North Princess, and Qiu Shuang cooperated very well throughout the process.
But he always felt that there was something wrong with what happened that day. He seemed to have lost a memory.
And can things like memory really be lost?
His mind was spinning a thousand times, his thoughts were confused, and he couldn't help but cough again.
A slightly arrogant voice came: "If the military advisor is not in good health, go back and rest. Just leave these tedious matters to me."
Mu Yunxiu's eyes flashed with disgust when he heard this voice.
He was very familiar with the visitor. He was the eldest adopted son among the adopted sons of King Dingbei. Everyone called him the general. King Dingbei gave him the surname Lu and the name Feng.
Lu Feng acts ruthlessly, which is different from Mu Yunxiu's usual way of acting. The two of them can be said to dislike each other.
Mu Yunxiu wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief and said, "General, if you don't stay in the barracks, why did you come to the city?"
Lu Feng raised his eyebrows and said in a provocative tone: "The Crown Prince went to my camp today and caused some trouble. I will come back to find justice for my father."
"I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the city, I heard that the military advisor was arresting people, so I came over to see if there was anything I could do to help."
Mu Yunxiu said quietly: "Since the general is here to see the prince, he just goes to the palace to find the prince. These matters in the city are not something that the general can interfere with."
Lu Feng was not angry, and just said: "I know that the military advisor is the smartest person in Rongzhou, but your body really shouldn't worry about it too much."
"I heard people say that wise men will not live long, so military advisors must take care of themselves!"
"Otherwise, even if you capture the Crown Princess and make great achievements, you won't be lucky enough to enjoy this merit."
Mu Yunxiu's eyes narrowed slightly: "Thank you, General, for your concern. I know my own health well."
"It's true that the general lost hundreds of soldiers and horses last time. I'm afraid I have to explain it to the prince when I go back this time."
Lu Feng's expression changed slightly, and he snorted coldly: "The military advisor is still as sharp-tongued as ever!"
After saying that, he walked away and walked around the corner, but left a confidant behind to stare at Mu Yunxiu.
Mu Yunxiu was familiar with him. Although he didn't see his arrangement, he said to his subordinates: "Kill him."
