Chapter 302 Do you think I'm dead?
Outside the city gate.
The man in black looked at the people opposite him with a solemn and cold expression, "Do you think I'm dead?"
The people opposite were stunned.
I really didn't expect it—
“You are not…”
The man in black said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense. I've recorded everything you've done recently. If you dare to cause trouble in the court again in the future, don't blame me for disregarding our past friendship!"
Several people knelt down and said, "We dare not."
When he looked up again, the man in black had disappeared without a trace.
The next day, when Yun Zhao went to court, there were fewer people in the court who were fighting with Yu Xiang.
Mu Chengyan smiled and said, "Zhao Zhao is amazing. He was able to deal with so many difficult old guys all by himself."
Yun Zhao took a sip of tea, his eyes indifferent, and did not respond.
When she returned to the imperial study, she sat down and read as usual. She subconsciously raised her hand and took a lotus seed from the bowl beside her.
When he was about to put it into his mouth, Yun Zhao suddenly stopped.
She subconsciously looked at the bowl beside her, which was filled with a bowl of round, plump, peeled, crystal clear lotus seeds.
Yun Zhao was stunned for a moment.
He turned and glanced at the bowl.
Fu Hai looked at Yun Zhao, "Queen Mother, what's wrong?"
Mu Chengyan, who was sitting in the hall, also raised his head and looked at Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao put the lotus seeds in his mouth and lowered his head to read again. "It's okay, I'm just a little thirsty."
Upon hearing this, Fu Hai immediately poured water for Yun Zhao.
But after pouring the water, Yun Zhao didn't even take a sip.
That night.
Yun Zhao sat in the pavilion to enjoy the breeze and did not go back until late. At night, the window creaked, followed by the sound of light footsteps.
Afterwards, someone leaned over, tucked the quilt gently around her, and then sat down beside her bed.
Yun Zhao lay there quietly, and with the breeze, he smelled a faint lotus fragrance.
After that, she fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, a minister came to report on Prime Minister Yu's affairs. When Mu Chengyan was about to go in together, Yun Zhao raised his hand.
Mu Chengyan looked at Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "You should fulfill your duties within your position. I was inconsiderate before. Now that you've stepped down as regent, you won't be involved in these matters, right?"
Mu Chengyan looked at Yun Zhao with gloomy eyes.
Yun Zhao also looked at him.
There was no sign of retreat in his eyes.
After a moment, Mu Chengyan was defeated in the eye contact.
He brushed his body and said, "Okay, everything will be arranged by Zhao Zhao."
When Mu Chengyan turned and left, there was a look of loss and sadness on his face.
Yun Zhao looked at his back for a moment, then entered the hall.
Yu Xiang’s power in Jiangnan has been eliminated, and the next step is to take Yu Xiang’s head.
This time, Yun Zhao will not take risks on himself again.
After coming out of the imperial study, Yun Zhao said to Mu Chengyan at the dinner table, "I previously bought you a mansion outside the palace, and you've been living here for many days. If you don't want to go back to Liziguai, you can go back and live there. It's cheaper. I have something to do recently and can't accompany you. You can have some fun outside the palace."
Mu Chengyan didn't expect that these words would come out of Yun Zhao's mouth.
He looked at Yun Zhao and said, "Are you trying to get me out?"
Yun Zhao looked at Mu Chengyan and said, "I'm just worried that you won't feel comfortable here."
Mu Chengyan looked at Yun Zhao for a long time, then nodded, "Okay, I'll move back tomorrow morning."
Yun Zhao: “Hmm.”
That night, Yun Zhao was assassinated. Mu Chengyan stepped forward, blocked the knife and was injured.
Deputy General Gao stood at the door, pouting, "We clearly said we'd move out tomorrow, but now we can't leave. I don't know if this is a real injury or just a fake one."
Fu Hai doesn't know martial arts and can't see the trick.
He only said, "How come there was an assassination attempt all of a sudden? I wonder if it was Prime Minister Yu's men. Deputy General Gao, we need to gather more people for protection."
Deputy General Gao nodded, "I understand." He glanced into Mu Chengyan's room.
Mu Chengyan was lying on the bed, his face pale. "Zhao Zhao, I'm fine, don't worry."
Yun Zhao seemed a little scared. If the sword had been off by one centimeter, Mu Chengyan would have died.
Yun Zhao looked at the person on the bed, feeling a surge of guilt in his heart.
"Feel sorry."
Mu Chengyan smiled weakly upon hearing this, "Silly boy, what's there to be sorry about? You know, for you, I'm willing to do anything."
"Zhao Zhao, I used to be arrogant and thought I could control everything. It wasn't until I met you that I realized that not everything can go as planned."
"I've been reflecting on this for a long time. We really don't spend enough time together. But that's okay. Fortunately, we still have a lot of time, so we can slowly get to know each other better."
Mu Chengyan looked at Yun Zhao and knew that she was a soft-hearted person.
The candlelight flickered in the room. Mu Chengyan smiled and said, "I'm very happy. The Zhao Zhao in my heart is a person who cares about the world. Don't worry, I will assist you in the future and become your right-hand man."
Murong Bai proposed at this time, "I don't want to be a person who only talks big. I was going to tell you that I hope to return to the court. Zhao Zhao, I will be the regent again, okay?"
Under the candlelight, Mu Chengyan's face was as pale as a piece of white paper.
He looked at Yun Zhao weakly, and said word by word: "Zhao Zhao, please give me another chance, okay?"
The night is dark.
Yun Zhao came out of Mu Chengyan's room.
Deputy General Gao asked sourly, "Falling asleep? You keep calling him Zhao Zhao. You don't look like someone who said he was leaving this morning. Yun Zhao, you must not be soft-hearted. Mu Chengyan is not a pushover!"
Yun Zhao didn't say anything.
After Yun Zhao returned to the room, Fu Hai said, "Deputy General Gao, go find General Xie. I'm afraid if he doesn't come back, the Queen Mother will be skinned alive and eaten by Xi Mu Cheng Yan."
Deputy General Gao clenched his fists, "Alright! I'll leave right away! You take good care of Yun Zhao!"
Deputy General Gao left as soon as he said he would.
However, just as he walked out of the Queen Mother's Palace of Yun Zhao, he saw Xie Jingmo, dressed in black and with indifferent eyes, under the city wall.
Deputy General Gao was completely stunned.
He stood there for a long time.
It was not until a gust of cold wind blew that Deputy General Gao suddenly came back to his senses.
"Jing Mo! You're back?!" Deputy General Gao was extremely surprised.
"When did you come back? Did you just arrive?"
Xie Jingmo frowned, "It's been several days."
Deputy General Gao was astonished, "Then why don't you come out?"
Xie Jingmo said calmly, "I'm not someone who is expected to come back. Forget it, let's not talk about this. Today's assassination may be related to Mu Chengyan. I suspect that Mu Chengyan and Yu Xiang have colluded with each other."
Deputy General Gao was shocked, "Why? Yun Zhao is so good to Mu Chengyan!"
Xie Jingmo said with a gloomy look in his eyes: "I don't know."
Xie Jingmo really didn’t know.
In his opinion, Yun Zhao gave Mu Chengyan the greatest tolerance. Except for not following him, he agreed to everything Mu Chengyan did.
He had never seen Yun Zhao be so nice to anyone.
Is it necessary for Mu Chengyan to resort to such a self-torture tactic? !
What is Mucheng Yan's ultimate goal?
