Chapter 476 Mu Chengyan was chopped into pieces.
That night, many people could not sleep peacefully.
The next day.
Xie Jingmo went to court.
At noon, Xie Jingmo had not yet left the palace.
Yun Zhao didn't know why, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.
She frowned deeply.
It was not until the afternoon that Deputy General Gao hurried out of the palace and said to Yun Zhao, "Jing Mo will not be coming out today. There is something going on in the palace."
Yun Zhao asked him, "What's the matter?"
Deputy General Gao's eyes flickered. "Nothing, it's just that the court was late. You know those civil officials talk a lot, so it's not uncommon for them to be late."
Yun Zhao looked at the sweat dripping from Deputy General Gao's forehead and nodded slowly, "I understand. Tell him that if there is something going on in the court, he should not come out today."
Deputy General Gao seemed relieved. "Okay, I'll go back first."
Yun Zhao nodded, and Lieutenant General Gao rushed back.
Qicai asked in confusion from behind, "Why are you so anxious today? What happened?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Hai glanced at Qicai, and Qicai silently shut up.
That day.
Yun Zhao sat on the second floor for a long time, until dusk.
She looked at the sunset and the morning glow, without even having dinner, and went straight to find Chen Meihua.
"How about we discuss a cooperation?" Yun Zhao went straight to the point.
Chen Meihua was silent for a moment, then looked directly at Yun Zhao, "Have you really... thought it through?"
Yun Zhao nodded.
On the way back, Yun Zhao bought a string of candied haws. When they reached the restaurant, Fu Hai said to Yun Zhao, "The emperor is here. He seems alright. Perhaps he was really held up by something this afternoon."
Yun Zhao nodded, walked in, and handed the half-eaten candied haws to Xie Jingmo.
Xie Jingmo was not picky at all and ate all the leftovers.
night.
The Meiyu Restaurant hosted the most lively opera troupe of the season. The surrounding area was bustling with activity and crowds of people were surging at the door.
Yun Zhao and Xie Jingmo were watching from the second-floor stands, where they had an excellent view.
"Xie Jingmo," Yun Zhao suddenly spoke.
Xie Jingmo turned his head and looked at Yun Zhao, "What's wrong?"
Yun Zhao smiled softly, "Do you like the life now?"
Xie Jingmo didn't understand why Yun Zhao suddenly asked this, but he answered very seriously, "I like it."
As long as you are with me, every day is a good day for me.
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "I like it too."
While resting at night, Yun Zhao looked at Xie Jingmo's profile.
She is a doctor, and the three basic diagnostic methods are observation, listening, questioning and palpation.
The abnormality in Xie Jingmo might not seem like a big deal to outsiders, but she saw it clearly.
She didn't expose Xie Jingmo, as the knife wound on her shoulder could be handled well by the palace physician.
What she has to do is to deal with some people that only she can deal with.
The next day.
Xie Jingmo went to court.
When Yun Zhao left, Fu Hai chased after him, "Master, where are you going so early in the morning? I'll go with you."
Yun Zhao smiled gently, "Fu Hai, you've been with me for a long time. I want to find out about this matter myself. I won't be back for lunch. If Xie Jingmo comes, let him go upstairs to rest."
After Yun Zhao finished speaking, he walked away.
Qicai's face was filled with worry. "Is this okay? Should we tell the palace? Will something go wrong?"
"Don't say anything, it's okay. The master always does a good job of what he wants to do." Fu Hai said, and sat down at the door. "We just need to stay here and wait for the master to come back."
On the outskirts of Kyoto, by the lotus pond.
Yun Zhao sat on the small terrace in the center of the lotus pond.
There is a gentle breeze.
It was quiet all around.
until--
The sound of footsteps startled the birds flying around.
Yun Zhao didn't turn his head.
The person behind him slowly approached.
"Yun Zhao." The voice fell coldly.
Yun Zhao looked at the vast lotus fields in the distance and said calmly, "There's also a large lotus pond in Liziguai. Back then, I promised you I'd share the freshest lotus pods with you. I didn't keep my promise, and I felt guilty for a long time afterwards."
Mu Chengyan looked at the lotus leaves in the distance and said lightly: "I thought you had forgotten everything."
"I haven't forgotten," Yun Zhao sighed, looking regretful. "I even wonder if my memory is too good. So much so that I'm not decisive enough in many things because of guilt."
"I remember you took my parents into Liziguai."
"I also remember that you gave me affirmation when I doubted myself the most."
"I still remember the years you stayed with me in the palace."
"Mu Chengyan, I have always remembered these things."
"I remember how good you were to me, and I also remember the bright sky in Liziguai. I have always hoped that one day we can let go of the past and drink together like good friends."
"I have given you my greatest tolerance."
Yun Zhao turned his head and looked at Mu Chengyan, saying regretfully, "But you never thought that this was the bottom line I lowered for you again and again."
Mu Chengyan's eyes were indifferent.
"That's because you don't want to go with me. Yun Zhao, you are too rebellious."
"Really?" Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "I said I was willing to go back to Liziguai with you, but at that time, you didn't want me to go back with you."
"Mu Chengyan, by now, you already know that we can't go back. You're just unwilling to accept it."
Mu Chengyan had a mocking sneer on his face, "Now that you have what you wanted, it's natural for you to say so."
At this moment, Mu Chengyan could no longer hear anything.
His heart and eyes were filled with resentment!
Whenever he thought about Yun Zhao spending a night with Xie Jingmo, he would tremble with anger!
He wants to kill Xie Jingmo!
He wants to kill Yun Zhao!
He will destroy everything that is out of his reach!
Thinking of this, Mu Chengyan pulled out the cold knife from his sleeve and looked at Yun Zhao's profile coldly.
"Yun Zhao, don't blame me!"
"Don't worry, I will accompany you on the road to the underworld!"
The words fell.
Mu Chengyan suddenly felt a pain in his chest.
He slowly lowered his head in disbelief, and blood poured out from his chest.
Mu Chengyan turned his head and saw Chen Meihua with a ferocious face!
"you!"
"The damned one is you!"
Mu Chengyan looked at the dagger on his chest in shock. He slowly turned his gaze towards Yun Zhao, "Did you deliberately lure me here?!"
Yun Zhao stood up and said, "Yes, I put drugs in the lotus pond. As soon as you use it, the drug powder will enter your brain with your breath, making you unaware of the surrounding movements. That's why you didn't even notice Chen Meihua walking behind you."
Mu Chengyan looked at Yun Zhao in disbelief, "Why are you doing this to me?"
"Yun Zhao, do you know that I am the one who loves you the most!"
"You're going to kill me for them?! You're confused—"
The next words haven't been spoken yet.
Chen Meihua exerted force with her hand and stabbed the knife into Mu Chengyan's chest again.
Mu Chengyan used his last bit of strength to push Chen Meihua away.
He wanted to escape.
But with a snap of Chen Meihua's fingers, the killers lying in ambush around swarmed in.
In a breeze.
Muchengyan was chopped to pieces.
