The man wearing a red flying fish robe embroidered with golden flying fish had a handsome face and sharp black eyes. As long as he looked at him, it was as if all his ancestors of eighteen generations had been dug out and interrogated hundreds of times by him. There was no sense of privacy in front of him at all. His aura of majesty without anger was even stronger than that of the emperor, as if he was the real emperor in the world.

The other one was wearing a red flying fish suit embroidered with white flying fish. He looked gentle and had a friendly smile on his face, seeming to be very easy to talk to.

【Metropolitan Governor? Metropolitan Governor’s Associate Governor?】

Mu Nanjin identified the other person's identity through his clothes.

Before this, all officials above the rank of Jinyiwei Zhenfushi were on official business trips to other places.

Therefore, this was the first time she met the top leader of the Jinyiwei since she became one of them.

"The governor and his men are back?" The Jinyiwei heard her voice and quickly turned around to see the people walking towards them. Some of them brightened up, while others were afraid. But the common action was to kneel down on one knee to the governor: "I greet the governor and the governor's assistant."

[They are really the governor and the vice governor. They are so young. I thought they must be at least sixty years old to be able to become a first-rank official.]

The governor's eyes swept across Mu Nanjin indifferently.

Captain Liu saw Mu Nanjin still standing and quickly pulled the hem of her skirt.

Mu Nanjin looked down at him and whispered, "What?"

Captain Liu whispered, "Kneel down."

"Why do we have to kneel down besides the Emperor and the Empress Dowager?"

Mu Nanjin knelt on the ground reluctantly.

[The ancients only said that men have gold under their knees, but they never thought that we girls also have gold and jade under our knees. We have to kneel down to others every day, and my knees are becoming worthless. ]

[I have to make this clear to everyone in the future. In addition to kneeling to heaven, earth, father, mother, and master, I only kneel to deceased elders. Those who are often kneeled to by me now, please be mentally prepared. I am afraid that one day you will die from my kneeling.]

Everyone: “…”

[Speaking of which, the governor is so majestic and powerful. No wonder the six weirdos in the prison were beaten into submission by him. I just wonder if his real appearance under the disguise is good-looking. I really want to see it.]

Everyone:"!!!!!!"

True appearance?

What true appearance? Could it be that the appearance they saw now was not real? The Jinyiwei were also full of disbelief.

Especially the deputy governor, who had worked with the governor for many years and never knew that the other party was in disguise.

The governor stared at Mu Nanjin with narrowed eyes, and a frightening coldness flashed in his eyes.

Mu Nanjin's expression was stern.

【There is murderous intent.】

“Swish, swish, swish——”

Without waiting for Mu Nanjin to look up, the Jinyiwei stood up as quickly as possible, drew the swords from their waists, and looked around vigilantly.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly hid behind the Jinyiwei for protection.

Mu Nanjin stood up slowly.

[The Jinyiwei also noticed the murderous intent? So the murderous intent just now was not directed at me. ]

Jinyiwei: "......"

The governor smiled and said, "Everyone reacted so quickly, which shows that everyone has not neglected their training on weekdays."

Jinyiwei: "..."

It should be said that they were trained by Mu Nanjin.

[The deputy governor is a smiling tiger, smiling on the surface, but secretly calculating people. Comrade Lao Kan was led astray by him.]

The governor-general: "..."

Kan Chaoyan: “…”

The governor looked at Mu Nanjin and smiled gently: "Is this little girl the female Jinyiwei recruited by the emperor?"

Captain Liu answered for Mu Nanjin: "Yes."

The governor asked calmly, "Why are you here?"

Everyone remained silent in tacit agreement.

Because I'm too embarrassed to say it.

[It's just a meal, and I didn't go to a prostitute, is it so difficult to ask? ]

Everyone: “…”

The governor-general smiled and said, "We need to see the emperor now. You guys go back and wait."

"yes."

Everyone watched the governor and his assistant governor leave.

The direction they left was right in front of the adults coming out of Taijin Palace. Mu Nanjin noticed that the left and right imperial envoys who passed by them were glaring at her, and she looked puzzled.

[Why are the left and right imperial envoys glaring at me? They should be glaring at me, right? I just invited everyone to dinner, why do they make me look like a sinner who has committed a heinous crime? Is it that serious? ]

Everyone: “…”

They are about to lose their official positions, isn't that serious? [The officials from the Ministry of Rites looked at me strangely, as if they wanted to say something but hesitated. What was so hard to say? Could it be that they had their eyes on a young prostitute from Xiaoqing Tower and were too embarrassed to ask me for it?]

Official from the Ministry of Rites: “…”

Can't you think of something good? Deng Xingchao coughed lightly: "Mu Nanjin, do you still remember what happened last night?"

Mu Nanjin nodded: "I remember a small part."

[Did I get drunk and molest an official from the Ministry of Rites last night, and is he coming to me today to take responsibility?]

[Most of the officials in the Ministry of Rites are old men. Am I so hungry that I don't care about age? That would be too crazy.]

Official from the Ministry of Rites: “…”

If I didn't need her help, I would really want to strangle her to death.

Deng Xingchao and Kan Chaoyan saw that there were not many problems with Mu Nan Jin Ji and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Deng Xingchao said, "When we were having dinner last night, you said that the people in the Ministry of Rites were poisoned by a poisonous insect, and you said you would cure them of the poison. Have you forgotten?"

Mu Nanjin frowned suddenly: "Did I ever say such a thing?"

Everyone said in unison: "Yes."

[I actually spoke the truth after drinking, how terrible. ]

So I didn't tell my secret?

Everyone: “…”

You didn't tell your secrets, but you told all the secrets of others.

Mu Nanjin asked: "Besides this, what else did I say?"

[Huh——That’s good, that’s good.]

Mu Nanjin said to the people from the Ministry of Rites, "The reason why David State put a Gu on you is to control you to assassinate the emperor. If I remove the Gu now, the people from David State will find out and they may put a Gu on you a second time. The second time, it may not be as simple as controlling you. It may very well take your life."

The officials from the Ministry of Rites gasped.

The Minister of Rites asked, "But if we don't cure the poison, we will be controlled by them."

"Each of you pull out a hair for me, and I'll take care of the rest."

The officials from the Ministry of Rites looked at each other and then pulled out a strand of their hair and gave it to her.

Mu Nanjin wrapped their hair with a handkerchief and stuffed it into her arms, then walked towards the palace gate.

After she walked away, the Minister of Rites asked Kan Chaoyan, "Master Kan, can she really cure the poison for us?"

Kan Chaoyan said, "They say the truth comes out when drunk. Since she said so confidently last night that she could cure your poison, there shouldn't be any problem. If you're really worried, I'll ask the Imperial Master to help keep an eye on her."

The Minister of Rites nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Lord Kan. We still have to prepare for the Emperor's birthday, so we'll go ahead."

Deng Xingchao also asked someone to take him to patrol the state residence, and then left with the Minister of Rites and others.

Kan Chaoyan said to his men, "I'll let you take a day off today. Tomorrow is the emperor's birthday, so you must be fully alert."

"yes."

Tang Jingrui left quickly, intending to catch up with Mu Nanjin and go home with her.

When he chased out of the imperial city, he saw Mu Nanjin's black horse kicking two black-clad assassins to death.

Tang Jingrui immediately stepped forward to help, but the other men in black had run away.

Mu Nanjin left him to clean up the mess and then returned to the Mu family.

Tang Jingrui dealt with the matter and returned to the Tang family. Not long after, the Jinyiwei he sent to monitor Tang Liuzhao came to report to him.

He took the person to the study in his courtyard, and the Jinyiwei immediately took out two silver notes worth one thousand taels and placed them on the table.

"This is the banknote that your aunt hired an assassin to leave behind. It has her handwriting on it."

Tang Jingrui saw that the words on the banknote were indeed his aunt's handwriting, and his face was solemn: "Did you see my aunt hiring an assassin with your own eyes?"

The Royal Guards said firmly: "We saw with our own eyes and heard with our own ears that she instructed her trusted maid to hire an assassin to kill Mu Nanjin."

"Okay, I get it. You've worked hard these days. This is your reward. Please keep this secret and don't leak it."

Tang Jingrui took out two silver ingots and placed them on the table.

"Thank you, sir." The Jinyiwei hesitated before taking the silver.

Tang Jingrui left the study to find his father Tang Wenzong and told him about this matter.

When Emperor Wenzong of Tang learned about this, he considered it over and over again before taking Jiang Zhenru to Tang Liuzhao's courtyard.

Tang Liuzhao was very surprised to see them coming: "Brother, sister-in-law, how come you have time to come to my yard today?"

Jiang Zhenru said with a smile: "Now that Ayi is not at home and Mu Nanjin has moved out of the Tang family, you are the only one living in the yard. Your elder brother and I are worried that you might get sick from boredom, so we came to see you."

Tang Liuzhao didn't think that his elder brother would have time to visit him on the eve of the emperor's birthday.

She looked at Tang Wenzong: "Brother, do you have something to say to me?"

Emperor Wenzong of Tang knew that he could not hide the truth from her, so he sighed, took out two silver notes worth one thousand taels and placed them in front of her.

When Tang Liuzhao saw her handwriting on the banknote, she knew that her assassination plan to kill Mu Nanjin had been exposed.

She did not panic, but calmly put the banknote back into her arms.

Tang Wenzong frowned and said, "A Zhao, why don't you explain why you wanted to find someone to assassinate Mu Nanjin?"

"What? Ah Zhao hired someone to assassinate Mu Nanjin?"

Jiang Zhenru didn't know about this when she was called to find Tang Liuzhao.

Tang Wenzong said: "I will tell you about this when I get back."

Jiang Zhenru nodded.

Tang Liuzhao drank his tea in silence.

Tang Wenzong said again: "A Zhao, do you know what will happen if you hire someone to kill an official? I won't talk about the big picture, you should be able to imagine it. The small picture is that you and A Yi will definitely not even be able to be husband and wife. You like A Yi so much, you don't want to be separated from him, right?"

"Husband and wife?" Tang Liuzhao smiled sarcastically: "Brother, do you think we are like a real husband and wife?"

Emperor Wenzong of Tang: “…”

"I have been married to him for fifteen years, but he has been at home for less than five years."

Tang Wenzong asked her tentatively: "So you hate him, and you hate Mu Nanjin as well."

"No, I don't hate him at all. On the contrary, I really like him. I like him so much that I am willing to sacrifice my life for him. But..." Tang Liuzhao's eyes were filled with terrifying hatred: "But Mu Nanjin wants to snatch him away from me. Do you think I can not hate her?"

"But Mu Nanjin is Mu Qinyi's nephew and her only relative, and Mu Nanjin has no other relatives. Isn't it right for Mu Qinyi to care for her and love her more? As Mu Nanjin's aunt, and a child you watched grow up, you should love her as your own child. Only then can you and Mu Qinyi live in harmony and love each other until old age."

Emperor Wenzong of Tang believed that his sister's love for Mu Qinyi had become twisted, and he would not tolerate anyone else coming between them.

This may be because my sister has no children, so she puts all her feelings into Mu Qinyi.

"Nephew? Treat him as your own child?"

Tang Liuzhao smiled sarcastically again, and as she laughed, she burst into tears: "I used to think of treating her as my own child, but...but...but later I found that I couldn't do it."

Tang Wenzong wanted to say something, but was stopped by Jiang Zhenru's eyes.

Jiang Zhenru held Tang Liuzhao's hand and said, "A Zhao, don't cry. If you have any difficulties, you can tell us. We are a family. Whether you are right or wrong, we will stand by your side and support you. We will not let you get hurt, and we will not allow others to hurt you. But if you don't tell us, we can only stand by and worry. We want to help you but we don't know where to start. We don't know what to do."

"A Zhao, I know you must have some difficulties that forced you to do this. Talk to your sister-in-law and she can give you some advice."

"I really don't know how to tell you. I'm afraid if I tell you, it will really be over between me and Yi."

Emperor Wenzong of Tang was very anxious and stood up and walked back and forth in front of them.

Jiang Zhenru frowned: "But if you don't tell us, when Ayi comes back and knows what you did, your relationship won't be any better. If you tell us now, we can give you some advice. Maybe there will be unexpected results, and you and Ayi can still be together happily."

These words touched Tang Liuzhao's heart.

Her crying gradually became softer. She picked up a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face, then told the maid to stand guard outside and not let anyone in.

"I hope that after I finish talking about these things, my brother and sister-in-law can really help me."

Tang Wenzong sat down and said, "You are my sister, who else can I help if not you? Even if you are wrong, I will stand by you and help you to the end."

He now really wanted to know how wronged his sister had been to commit murder.

Tang Liuzhao took a breath and said, "This story started one night five years ago. On that day, Ayi said he was going to catch a criminal and might not be back until midnight. I was very worried about his safety and didn't sleep well the whole night. When midnight was almost over and Ayi didn't come back, I got up to check on Mu Nanjin to see if she kicked off the quilt. But I saw Ayi standing in front of Mu Nanjin's bed."

Having said this, her eyes once again revealed hatred and anger.
