Liang Qingchen drew out her sword, and Yunhuan fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, blood spreading under her body. She raised her eyelids with difficulty and saw a smile flashing across Xie Mio's eyes.

She suddenly realized, until she died, that she had fallen into a trap, but there was nothing she could do...

She only saw Xie Mio's mouth opening and closing, but she couldn't hear what she said.

Jiang Muyu ordered his men to dispose of Yunhuan's body.

At this time Sui Miao came over, followed by a group of guards, and captured a group of people.

Liang Qingchen looked at him: "Is everything clean?"

Suimo replied: "Some of those who resisted desperately were killed on the spot, and some were captured."

He had been lurking near the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion last night. When he saw the Duke of Zhenguo go out early this morning, he followed him all the way to a house.

It turned out that Duke Zhenguo did not completely trust Xie Liao, so he made a backup plan and ordered his assassins to shoot arrows during the quarrel between the two men, using royal arrows, so that he would not be the one to be blamed if an investigation was launched.

When Jiang Muyu died, even if Liang Qingchen did not kill him personally, the people in Jing'an Marquis' Mansion would think that Jiang Muyu died in the struggle for royal power, and then they would have achieved their goal of alienating the Wang Mansion and Jing'an Marquis' Mansion.

Unfortunately, just as those people were about to take action, they were surrounded and killed by Sui Miao and his men, and they were completely caught off guard.

Suimo was a very special person, he would move wherever he was needed. He had a covert identity, and often went in and out of various mansions in the capital as a retainer, eating and drinking for free everywhere.

I don't know what ability he has to make those powerful people willingly become scapegoats.

In short, only a few people knew that he was Liang Qingchen's subordinate.

The killers who were captured were all dumbfounded. They were captured before they could even start to act. They were unwilling to commit suicide, but were easily chopped off by the people brought by Sui Mo. Now, they were all tied up and knelt in front of King Rui.

At the end of the year, I asked, “How should we deal with these people?”

Liang Qingchen lowered his eyes, looked down at them, and ordered in a cold voice: "Feed them with Duanchangsan and send them back to the Duke of Zhenguo."

"yes."

Sui Miao immediately ordered his subordinates to do it.

The killers turned their faces away and resisted with a howl, but they were still forced to swallow all the Duanchangsan by pinching their chins.

Upon seeing this, Xie Mio suddenly rushed over, snatched the sword from a guard's waist, and stabbed it into his own abdomen without saying a word.

Jiang Muyu was surprised: "What are you doing?"

Blood flowed from the corners of Xie Mio's lips: "I am guilty and I know I have failed you, my lord. I can only repay you with my life..."

Liang Qingchen frowned and asked, "Are you involved in this as well?"

"Duke Zhenguo is my biological father, so I cannot remain immune to this." Blood flowed from the corners of her lips to her chin and dripped onto the grass.

Her frail body swayed slightly and then fell to the ground.

The doctor who had just been invited arrived, and Liang Qingchen ordered: "Take Madam Xie back for treatment first, and then interrogate her after she wakes up. If she cannot be saved... throw her to a mass grave."

"Yes." Two guards stepped forward and carried her away.

…

After dealing with all this, the two returned to Qingyu Courtyard.

Jiang Muyu saw the obvious slap mark on his left cheek and said guiltily, "Let me apply some medicine on you."

Liang Qingchen sat on a stool, looking up at her with a cold face. When he spoke, his tone was full of grievance: "You actually hit me!"

"I did that to make the play more realistic. Otherwise, how can we paralyze the enemy?" Although she said this, her tone was still a little hollow.

"I don't care." He curled his lips and said, "You hurt me, you have to compensate me."

"Ah...what compensation do you want?"

His eyes began to wander restlessly over her body: "Just... pay me with sex."

Jiang Muyu covered her chest and said angrily, "Can you think of something healthy every day?!"

Liang Qingchen grabbed her wrist and pulled them both into his arms with a little force. He whispered, "I have plenty of money and power. The only thing I want is your beauty."

"But didn't we just yesterday..."

"Yesterday is yesterday, and today is today. If you ate yesterday, does that mean you don't have to eat today?"

Jiang Muyu: “…”

Shit! I was totally powerless to refute it.

Seeing that she remained silent, Liang Qingchen took it as her consent, tilted his head and kissed her lips, then slowly moved down to her chin, and then along her neck to her collarbone.

Warm breath sprayed on her neck, and his voice was filled with fatal temptation: "Zhao Zhao, I'm leaving tonight."

"Yeah." She was a little confused and her fingers gently ran through his satin-black hair.

"I really want to take you away too..."

She seemed to really think about it, then said, "I can go with you."

He picked her up and put her on the table, untied the long belt around her waist, and smiled softly: "Forget it, the border is bitter and cold, I can't bear to leave... Knowing that you are thinking of me all the time, I am satisfied."

But what he didn't know was that Jiang Muyu was never afraid of hardship, and she had already planned to secretly go to the border to find him.

But now is not the right time. There are still many things to be dealt with in the capital. She cannot leave suddenly. She can only leave after everything is arranged properly. She cannot let him have any worries.

…

At this time, the scene at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion on the other side of the capital was quite different.

It was not strange to see several carriages passing by the gate, but the carriages suddenly slowed down when passing by the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and then two men in black who were tied up were thrown out from them.

The two gatekeepers were stunned at the same time. Before they could react, they saw the second and third vehicles...

More than a dozen people were thrown in front of the mansion gate, all of them fell to the ground and rolled around. It was a dark mass, and groans came one after another.

The gatekeepers had never seen such a scene before and were at a loss as to what to do.

Until one of them responded and said, "Go tell the Duke quickly."

Another person quickly rolled and crawled into the mansion to report.

The gatekeeper standing outside the door did not dare to stay where he was and shrank back behind the door trembling with fear.

Not long after, the Duke of Zhenguo came hurriedly with his men. When he saw the people lying on the ground, he felt that his flesh and blood had solidified.

He walked forward and picked up a man. He saw that the man's jaw had been removed, his collar was drooling, his expression was distorted, and his eyes were rolled up. It was obvious that he was in great pain.

He immediately ordered his jaw to be restored and asked in a loud voice: "What happened?"

The killer endured the inhuman torture of having his intestines and intestines broken, and also endured the sharp pain in his jaw and replied: "King Rui has discovered our plan a long time ago, and he used the same trick to wipe out our nest in one fell swoop."

"What?" Duke Zhenguo was so angry that he couldn't stop shaking: "What about Yunhuan? What about Xie Mio?"

"Yun Huan has been killed by King Rui. Thank you... Sixth Miss committed suicide."

Duke Zhenguo felt a black screen before his eyes.

The attendant quickly supported his shaky body and said, "My Lord, I am sorry for your loss."

He waved his hands.

It didn't matter if Xie Mio died, she was just an insignificant concubine. But he had openly offended King Rui this time, how could he survive in the capital? With the temperament of the emperor and the queen mother, I'm afraid they would just push him out as a scapegoat.

"It's over. Everything is over..."
