Nan Mo smiled faintly, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "The emperor is unwell. Come, escort His Majesty back to the palace to rest."
A soldier walked out from the Royal Guards. He first saluted Nan Mo with his fists clasped, then bent down and carried King Yin up.
The eunuchs lowered their heads and followed, followed closely by the Imperial Guards. The team left the Dali Temple as quickly as they had come.
Nan Mo turned around and took Chu Mu's hand: "Madam, how about we go back to the mansion for dinner?"
"……good."
Chu Mu stood up and let Nan Mo lead him down the stairs.
His humble look made him look like a little bird that had found a safe haven.
Very well behaved and very lovable.
There were corpses lying all over the ground at the foot of the stairs, and blood almost covered the entire ground.
Chu Mu stopped and frowned: "So many dead people, it really makes me upset."
Nan Mo's eyes moved slightly: "Guards on both sides, listen to my orders."
"I'm here!"
"Drag these traitors to the mass grave and get them out of the way here."
The guards on both sides looked at each other and said, "As you command!"
The soldiers quickly dragged the body away.
However, the bloodstains on the ground could not be cleaned up so quickly.
Nan Mo looked at the snow-white soap boots on Chu Mu's feet, and suddenly grabbed Chu Mu by the waist and carried him sideways.
"--ah!"
Suddenly losing his balance, Chu Mu let out a small cry of surprise.
"Don't move, I'll carry you out."
Nan Mo is very strong and doesn't look tired at all while holding Chu Mu.
Every step he took was extremely steady.
He waded through a pool of blood, and his clothes and shoes were stained with a mixed red.
Chu Mu, who was held in his arms, was as clean as before.
Nan Mo looked at the blue sky and white sun not far away, and his eyes and heart became soft.
——I am willing to jump into the quagmire for you, just wishing you a life free from dust.
Chu Mu looked back at the blood-stained ground, his long crow-feather eyelashes covering the light in his eyes.
…
"They're back, they're back! The master and the little fairy are back!"
The old butler saw the particularly eye-catching carriage from afar and shouted with a smile on his face.
Old man Hu Zheng, who was following behind him, also breathed a sigh of relief.
The servant was so excited that he ran all the way back to the mansion, shouting as he ran: "The Duke and Master Chao are back!"
During the three days Chu Mu stayed in the Duke's Mansion, he did nothing but build good relationships with the servants in the mansion.
Moreover, he has the aura of a little god, and his popularity is much higher than that of the silent and serious Xu Zhi.
So at this moment, with the tacit approval of the steward, the servants all ran to the door happily to welcome the young master.
"Master Chaochao, did His Majesty not make things difficult for you?"
"Little Immortal, have we cleared our grievances?"
"Young Master, does the Qiufeng Cliff case have anything to do with us from now on?"
"It's okay." Chu Mu replied with a smile.
Hu Zheng pushed through the crowd and came in. Seeing Chu Mu dressed neatly and his hair was almost the same as before he went out, he stroked his beard with satisfaction.
Nan Mo's face was frozen. "What are you all doing here?"
Unlike Chu Mu, this Zhenguo Duke's hair was slightly disheveled, and the hem of his bright red official uniform was stained with blood, as were his shoes...
This look is not only embarrassing, but also a bit scary.
Xu Zhi was usually a gloomy person, and he had accumulated power in the Duke's Mansion for a long time. As soon as he opened his mouth, the crowd immediately scattered.
"You're quite capable," Chu Mu leaned close to his ear, "I think you're enjoying yourself so much that you don't want to leave."
"That's because Madam is here," Nan Mo's eyes curved, "wherever my heart is, that's my home. What does it matter if it's at the ends of the earth?"
Chu Mu: So sexy, so sexy, so sexy that it breaks my legs.
Nan Mo stopped when he saw that things were going well: "No more talking. Aren't you hungry? Go eat."
After saying that, he took Chu Mu's hand as a matter of course.
Chu Mu decided not to bother with her stomach, so she let him hold her hand softly and did not shake him off.
Everyone in the mansion was very happy, especially after the Duke waved his hand and rewarded everyone with twenty coins. Even the chef used all his skills to turn the home-cooked dishes into a Manchu-Han banquet.
"belch--"
Chu Mu put down the bowl of soup contentedly, touched his stomach and burped.
Nan Mo, who had finished eating earlier than him, patted his back and said, "Let's go take a walk in the yard to digest the food?"
If the Duke's Mansion were placed in modern times, it would definitely be an illegal building.
The entire mansion is like a small palace, with a different view every ten steps, pavilions and waterside terraces, and everything you need.
Chu Mu liked the back garden of the mansion, so the digestion exercise was naturally carried out nearby.
"Mu Mu, you seem to be worried today." Nan Mo seized the opportunity to ask.
"Well," Chu Mu admitted directly, "I'm thinking of a possibility. I'll discuss it with you once I figure it out."
"Then let me guess." Nan Mo obviously didn't want to skip this topic. He lowered his voice and asked, "Does Mu Mu like the position of Hidden King?"
Chu Mu was surprised: [Damn! How did he guess that? ? ]
Nan Mo was pleased with himself, and his eyes and eyebrows lit up.
Xu Zhi's appearance is actually that of a handsome yet unkind person. To put it simply, he is too handsome, so handsome that he doesn't look like a human.
However, after Nan Mo entered Xu Zhi's body, he gradually felt the flavor of worldly life.
Although he tried very hard to play the role of Xu Zhi's crazy boy, in Chu Mu's eyes, he was just a sunny and cheerful boy.
How could such a pure and foolish boy be so cunning?
Chu Mu did not answer directly, but asked: "Tell me, why do you think so?"
"Because of the way you looked at those assassins." Nan Mo's voice became lower and lower. "Eyes can't lie. When you looked at those assassins who committed suicide, I felt sad."
"Tsk..." Chu Mu curled his lips in disdain, "Your feeling is wrong. I just want to be the unrestrained wind."
"Then run ahead." Nan Mo suddenly confessed, "I'll chase you from behind."
"Hahaha," Chu Mu patted his shoulder, "Alright, alright, stop acting, there's no outsider here."
"I didn't..." Nan Mo wanted to deny it, but Chu Mu had already walked away with big strides.
"I'll prove it to you." Nan Mo pinched his sleeves and muttered to himself, "No, we have to get married quickly. Once you take that position, I can become the queen first..."
Chu Mu had already walked far away and didn't hear it.
Otherwise, he would definitely come back to kill Nan Mo, pick him up headfirst, and shake the water out of his head.
…
The courtyard where Chu Mu lives now is a single-family house with bamboo forests and small ponds in front and back, and the environment is very elegant.
Translated, it means, I haven't seen a ghost for a long time!
But Chu Mu loved this quiet place in the midst of a bustling city so much that he didn't even keep servants to serve him and lived there alone.
"Let's go back." Chu Mu turned around and looked at Nan Mo who was following him closely. "I want to take a nap."
The reason he found was legitimate, but in reality, he was complaining endlessly in his heart:
"The big idiot should have returned by now. If Nan Mo were to run into someone in there, it would be a real Shura field within a Shura field."
Big fool? Come back?
The alarm sounded again in Nan Mo's mind.
