At dusk, the sky is full of rosy clouds.
Mo Xuan came to the backyard and slowly walked into Ji Haitang's bedroom. He had lingered here for many days.
Now, it has no appeal at all.
Ji Haitang was still lying on the beauty couch, closing her eyes in deep thought. The bronze gilded stove was divided into two layers, the lower layer was burning silver charcoal, and the upper layer was placed with an incense burner.
The room is filled with fragrance and warm like spring.
Seeing Mo Xuan coming, Ji Haitang stood up and saluted: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Zi Fu and Zi Huan also bowed and saluted Mo Xuan.
Mo Xuan raised his palm upwards, "No need to be polite."
The sound was like a broken string, having lost its former pleasantness and sounding short and harsh.
Mo Xuan sat on the beauty couch where Ji Haitang had been leaning just now.
Ji Haitang seemed not to notice that Mo Xuan was in a bad mood. She sat next to Mo Xuan intimately and said in a gentle voice:
"Your Highness has been too busy these days. You should take care of your health."
Ji Haitang is a perfect example of considerateness. Anyone who sees her at this moment would praise her as a good wife.
"I have to be busy. As a prince, I have to work hard, otherwise I won't be able to catch up with the ladies in the inner court.
You know, nowadays, women in the inner house dare to order the guards to kill people, and even kill the whole family."
Ordering the guards to kill people? Isn't this referring to her, Ji Haitang?
Ji Haitang remained calm and smiled, "The women in the inner house are well-educated, well-mannered, and know when to advance and when to retreat.
A woman like this who could order the guards to kill people must have been forced to that point, with no way out, and had no choice but to choose to kill.
The person she wants to kill will definitely not be an innocent person."
She was the daughter of the Zhongshu Lingfu, of noble birth and with a title. Even if she offended King Xuan, she would at most be ignored.
If you want to kick her out, without a suitable reason, even King Xuan can't do it.
"Oh? Your opinion is different from others. In that case, I will make an analogy for now.
Qin Nian, a little girl from Dawa Village, is stunningly beautiful.
This prince likes her. If he falls in love with her, will the princess order assassins to kill her family?"
Mo Xuan's eyebrows were slightly cold, and his eyes were fixed on Ji Haitang.
If Ji Haitang said no, once Chen Tong fell into Mo Xuan's hands, her answer would be like asking for a slap in the face.
If she said yes, it would be tantamount to admitting that the fire in Qin Nian's house was set by her.
She will definitely be labeled as a jealous woman.
Since she has married into the royal family, she cannot be caught in any mistakes. Otherwise, even if there is no danger at the moment, it may be a hidden danger.
Ji Haitang smiled, like a crabapple flower:
“Miss Qin from Dawa Village is engaged, so it is inappropriate for Your Highness to use her as an example.
It is disrespectful to Miss Qin, and it also shows that the prince is a bit dignified. "
Mo Xuan sneered: "I want to make that country boy disappear, as easy as exhaling."
"From what the prince said, he wants to steal my love? He wants to chop that country boy to death?
As the old saying goes, if a prince breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as a commoner. If the prince really insists on doing it and angers the emperor, it will not end well. "
"A prince who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as a commoner? From ancient times to the present, there have been many princes who broke the law. Princess, give me an example of a prince who was guilty of the same crime as a commoner?
This statement is an impossible wish in any dynasty. To put it cruelly, it is just empty talk. "
Mo Xuan looked at Ji Haitang:
“Just now the princess said that if a prince breaks the law, he will be punished just like a commoner, and she also said that the woman in the inner chamber sent the assassin because she was pushed to that point.
The prince was not forced to that point? You really have double standards. "
Mo Xuan suddenly became irritable, and his eyes, which had once been full of affection, were now filled with hostility:
"If anyone pushes me to that point, I will make her shut up forever!"
After saying this, he stood up and left.
The last rays of sunset faded away at some point, and the luxurious room fell into darkness.
The aroma of incense on the stove drifted away slowly, but it could not linger on the clothes of the person who left.
Zi Fu moved lightly and went to light the candles.
It was a floor-standing candlestick with many candles inserted in it. As soon as one candle was lit, Ji Haitang squinted his eyes, as if he was afraid of the light, and said,
"Just order one."
Yes, a woman lying on the couch thinking about her own things doesn’t need so much light.
"Your Highness, a strange thing happened in the capital last night. The people in the Military Secretary's mansion ordered him to be arrested at home."
Mo Yue stood in front of Mo Xuan and reported to him.
Mo Xuan frowned slightly: "Red seal?"
"The staff of Zhang Guohao, the Minister of Military Affairs, is resourceful, cunning, and vicious.
He left the Shangshu Mansion in the afternoon and returned to his own residence and never went out again. Late last night, someone suddenly broke into his study and took him away. "
Mo Xuan was quite interested in this matter. "He must have a lot of guards around him, right? How come they didn't stop him?"
Mo Yue nodded: "Zhu Pi men are vicious and cruel, and they must have harmed people but not killed them.
His enemies came to his house and kidnapped him."
Mo Xuan instructed Mo Yue: "Pay attention to this matter and see what the final result is."
"I understand."
Mo Yue's judgment was completely correct. Zhu Pi was indeed captured by Lin Tiancheng.
Not long ago, Lin Tiancheng was rescued from the Yi County prison. When Zhu Pi heard the news, he knew that something bad had happened.
Although there are only three people in Tianyuan Sect, these three people are not someone that ordinary people can defeat.
Apart from anything else, their sect is at the top of a high mountain, with only an iron lock as the way out of the mountain.
Even if we send thousands of troops, we will not be able to get through, let alone "eliminate" them.
Although he was nervous, what made Zhu Pi feel a little more at ease was that he had people feeding Lin Tiancheng poison all year round.
In the past two or three years, if he hadn't been given some antidote, he would have been unable to speak.
He hasn't been to Yi County for more than a year, and Lin Tiancheng hasn't taken the antidote for more than a year. He can't speak and probably has forgotten who he is.
Even if his master rescued him, he probably wouldn't be able to say that he was the one who harmed him.
Although he was somewhat confident, Zhu Pi was still very careful and determined to return home before dark.
The number of guards around him increased by more than a dozen on the basis of the original ones. Among them, the Westerners were hired by the Minister of War and their kung fu was absolutely superb.
With such protection, he didn't believe that Tianyuan Sect's leader Zhou Buyu and his only successor Su Bi would dare to come.
Besides, Lin Tiancheng is so weak, one of them has to stay on the mountain to take care of Lin Tiancheng, right?
Come on, we can’t defeat the guard in the mansion for sure, but we can still hold him off for a while.
In just a few moments, he could enter the secret room and hide.
The opening of his secret room is in the study, so during this period, Zhu Pi Poem lived in the study.
His subordinates thought he was very busy.
Little did we know that he didn't dare to go back to his wives and concubines' rooms in the backyard to prevent people from seeking revenge.
