Whose test was it?
Chapter VIII
Murong Cang and I hurried back to the junzhu fu. The fu was indeed in a mess.
I've already heard from Azurepeak that Mi Yuan was taken away by the capital's yamen on the way, but why did he take Mi Yuan away? According to the yamen
She said that she had killed someone, but how could a weak and thin little girl like Mi Yuan kill someone?
I blamed Azurepeak for not stopping me, but Azurepeak's words made me roll my eyes--Mi Yuan admitted it himself, so the yamen people just
He took her away! However, this was not all. As soon as the people from the yamen left, the Seventh Prince sent someone over to ask about this matter.
The case filing department was equivalent to the Ministry of Justice of the Qing Dynasty. It should be said that the Prefect of Tiandu was his direct subordinate, but this news was too much.
He was too well-informed. Just as he took the person away, someone came to the manor to ask if the princess knew anything.
Who wasn't easy to kill? The person he killed was an incredible fellow, the previous governor of Tiandu. Then what am I, a nest?
A criminal? Would he still be punished with the same crime as a murderer?
The guy sent by the Seventh Prince was not polite at all. He made the mansion into a mess and searched it in a mess. It was said that he wanted to
What evidence? I glared at Qingfeng with reproachful eyes again--
Fortune?
Azurepeak seemed to understand my gaze and lowered his head."I didn't see you search the residence when I left!"
Oh, I was wrong about you!
"How dare you! With the princess and Prince Li here, who dares to be impudent?”Murong Cang's personal servant, Zhou Quan 'er, wants to see me and Murong
Cang's expression was unhappy, especially Murong Cang who was like a volcano that was about to erupt. I'm afraid that the situation won't be cleaned up, so I'll remind those bold ones
The guard looked over.
A guy who looked like a captain immediately came over and knelt on the ground," This lowly one is the Ministry of Justice's manager, Yu Xing. I have come under the orders of His Highness Prince Rui."
This place is searching for evidence of the crime committed by the murderer. Please forgive me if I have disturbed the princess.”
You dog, you clearly saw that I wasn't in the residence and bullied a woman like me. Is this an order from your master? Okay, Mu
Rong? H, I have a big grudge with you!
"When did Mi Yuan commit the crime?”
What? He was stunned, probably because I didn't answer his question but asked him this question!
"Are you mute, dog? How dare you not answer the princess's question?”Murong Cang reprimanded me sternly. I nodded lightly at him.
He walked to the main hall and sat down on the main seat. Murong Cang also sat down on the other side.
That Yu Xing also followed in and stood below. His expression was a little afraid when he saw Murong Cang, but he didn't have any scruples about me.
"Who let you get up?" " Get lost!" Murong Cang shouted coldly. He hurriedly knelt down.
"Answer the question just now."
"Princess, it was eight months ago!”
Hmph, eight months ago!
"Uncle Sheng, when did Mi Yuan enter the viscountess 'manor?”
"Princess, it happened two months ago.”
I sneered." Let's not talk about whether Mi Yuan really killed someone or not. Even if he did, you can search Mi Yuan's house if you want.
What search in my yard? Who gave you the order? Who gave you the guts? You searched the manor without my permission.
If there was no document from the case filing department, who was the one who gave the instructions? What's more, you dared to search my bedroom. Today, I will punish you on the spot.
Your master can't say anything, or is this also his order?”As I said that, I took the cup of tea that Xiao Jing had just poured and
Throwing it in front of him, the crisp and ear-piercing sound of the teacup shattering was heard. Only then did Yu Xing feel a little afraid of this princess.
Shi: " I wouldn't dare. Even if I had ten heads, I wouldn't dare to offend the princess. It's really official business…"
I was furious." How dare you use work to pressure me? Alright, since it's official business, I'll go to the yamen with you.
Pfft, let's do business!"
" I don't dare. Please don't make things difficult for me…" This servant really wouldn't shed tears until he saw the coffin.
Taking advantage of him, I was so angry that I laughed."Didn't you search the main courtyard to find evidence of my accomplice? Have you found it?"
"No, no-"
"Hmm?"
"No, no, I don't dare, I don't dare. This lowly one will go back and report. This matter has absolutely nothing to do with the princess. This lowly one is blind.
Dog eyes, please forgive me, princess, please forgive me."
This Yu Xing has seen my power at this moment. He's afraid that he doesn't want to stay here for even a moment. He just wants to leave. I was just thinking that today,
At this point, I don't know the ins and outs of the matter, and secondly, I don't really want to shed all pretense of cordiality. H pulled it out and said,
Just as he was about to send him away, who knew that Murong Cang would walk to his side and raise his leg to kick him, shouting loudly-
"Hurry up and get lost!"
That Yu Xing was considered to have run away with his tail between his legs. I watched as Murong Cang stomped back to my side, although I also hated Yu Xing's vile mouth.
His face, but he didn't want to kick him. He felt that Murong Cang's kick was a little overboard. He was still raised by his parents!
Who knew that Murong Cang would sit down angrily at the side, pick up the teacup and take a big gulp. He said angrily,""This dog is really hateful.
He definitely didn't come here under Seventh Brother's instructions today, but he kept saying that it was for official business and pointed the spearhead at Seventh Brother. His heart was worthy of punishment!”
What was that? I'm surprised? Not Murong? h？Just now, I was indeed thinking about Murong? H gritted his teeth in hatred, but it turned out that there was another
Heaven and Earth.
"Why is Fourth Older Brother so sure that it was not Prince Rui's instructions?”
"We also have people in the case filing department. This Yu Xing isn't usually put in an important position by Seventh Brother.
To confirm that he was definitely not Seventh Brother's confidant, and Seventh Brother would never rashly send such a person for today's matter, because this
"This matter can be big or small. If it's not done well, they might hate being passive. You've also seen it. In this Yu Xing's words, it always shows that he had no choice."
If I didn't explain what's happening now, Xi-er, you must have thought that Seventh Brother wanted to live with you.
Go, don't you?"
I nodded. Indeed." Then who is this Yu Xing? Who's best for him to sow discord between us?
A virgin?"
Murong Cang didn't answer my question. He only pondered for a moment before saying to me,""It's better not to tell you these things!”
Logically speaking, I should be touched by his thoughtfulness, but at this moment, I don't feel touched at all. Instead, I feel angry.
She said angrily," Fourth Brother, I'm already involved. You saw what happened today. I can't just stay out of this. This is the Heaven Capital.
The wind and sand are blowing in all directions. It will definitely stick to my body because I am already in it. If you want to protect me, then
Try your best to let me hear and see better. Even if Yunxi dies, I can't die without knowing why!”
That's right, he had already died for no reason once. Could there be a second time? I don't want it!
Murong Cang held onto my shoulder sadly. There were already tears in my eyes. I didn't want to look directly into his eyes at this moment. but he didn't
He planned to let me go." Xi-er, look at me. You know how much I wish I could take you far away just like this. No matter what the throne is, it's not worth it."
No matter what country it is, if it's possible, I don't want anyone to see you. I'll just keep you in my boudoir and accompany you every day..."
I had to look straight at him, but I saw that Murong Cang was also extremely excited like me. My heart immediately softened,
Cang, if I could, I would want to be a couple with you, but you have your responsibilities, and I
I have my persistence!"
This is our helplessness. Fortunately, we still have a choice and a direction!
"This Yu Xing is either Imperial Uncle's man or Prime Minister Liu's man!”
"Isn't Prime Minister Liu one of the Second Prince's men?”I'm confused.
"Hard to say, that old fox!"
Complicated. The situation in Dynasty was far more complicated than I imagined. Murong Cang and I calmed down and were about to discuss today's situation.
Uncle Sheng has come to report-His Highness Prince Rui has something to ask of Princess Wuyou.
Logically speaking, he was a dignified prince and didn't need to see me, but since he asked Uncle Sheng to come and report, although I was surprised, I still
However, I was prepared to welcome them personally, but they came a little too quickly. They came in batches and never stopped, making me tired.
Run for your life…
What a rare day, Murong? H didn't smile mischievously, but greeted me and Murong Cang with a serious face. even if
He's here to explain the misunderstanding, but there's no need to be so nervous. Besides, he's afraid that I'll misunderstand him. We're not on the same path.
People, even if they didn't fight with swords and knives, had basically reached the point where they hated each other. She just didn't know what he was here for today. total
It was not just for the sake of searching the Junzhu Manor.
"Men, serve tea for His Highness Prince Rui!”
Murong Cang and I were still sitting on the left and right. H's gaze circled back and forth between the two of us.
It stopped on my face. I thought he was going to talk about what happened just now, but he asked me,
"I heard that the princess entered the palace early in the morning.”
I thought, Murong? What's wrong with H? Is there something wrong with his head? Why would I tell him? Doesn't he know that he's asking about trash?
Words? But I couldn't really tell him 'I won't tell you'. I smiled faintly and looked back at Murong Cang,
He nodded slightly at me, and I said,"The Emperor is afraid that he has also heard about me and Fourth Brother. In addition, yesterday at the Crown Prince's birthday banquet,
Everyone already knows about it. Today, he specially asked me to enter the palace to inquire about this matter.”
Murong? When H heard this, he didn't think that I was being perfunctory. Instead, he asked anxiously,"What did Imperial Father say?"
Murong Cang and I looked at each other and smiled." I've already instructed them to do it next year.”
"Is it, is it?" Murong? H muttered a few times before saying to Murong Cang,"Congratulations, Fourth Brother."
Murong Cang nodded and took out a rare bit of his elder brother's airs to say gently,""You're an adult now, so you should calm down and think about it.
If he wanted to spend the rest of his life, he would not be able to wander around the streets. It was not proper for a prince to do so!”
"Pfft!" I almost spat out a mouthful of tea. He was only 18 years old. He was a little older than that.
Just…forget it. People in ancient times matured early. I should have realized this earlier. However, it was about time for the banter to end.
Rong? H gradually led the conversation to today's matter. Actually, what I was most afraid of was talking nonsense. It was always going to be said. F * ck.
He didn't care about Murong Cang's eyes and said,""Your Highness Prince Rui
Did you come today just to chat with Yun Xi? If you have anything to say, just say it!”
Murong? I didn't expect that I would be so impatient. I was slightly stunned. I'm also a person who can adapt to the situation. I just smiled and covered it up.
She pretended to be embarrassed for a moment." Junzhu is straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush. Today, I really have to explain to Junzhu.
Something."
I glanced at Murong Cang and gave him a look, ---Look, it's coming!
Neither of us said anything. H continued.
"I really didn't know anything about what happened in the Junzhu residence today, especially when that servant Yu Xing came to report today.
He said that he had found the murderer who had assassinated the previous magistrate of Tiandu, so he had approved the document and asked him to collect evidence, but he really did not know where the murderer lived.
However, I hid in the princess's residence and caused such a huge displeasure. I don't want the princess to misunderstand that I have ulterior motives, because
There really isn't one this time."
He said it very sincerely. Previously Murong Cang also reminded me that Yu Xing might be a person who sowed discord.
I believed them to some extent, but my first impression was that they wouldn't have any good intentions towards me, so I couldn't eliminate my heart.
However, I couldn't really give him a hard time. I just smiled and said,"Your Highness Prince Rui is too serious. If you don't say it, you would indeed
Even if it was your order, it should be taken. A prince who breaks the law is punished as a commoner. You can't get the emperor just because Yunxi is a princess.
It was impossible to protect her with the lords. Besides, Yun Xi didn't want people to gossip about her. It was also right to search a ship clearly.
It would prove that Yun Xi was indeed innocent.”
My words were smooth and neither servile nor overbearing. Murong Cang cast a praising gaze over, and I was secretly happy in my heart.
Murong at the moment? H gradually returned to his original character as a peach blossom man. He smiled and said,"It's rare for the princess to be so sensible.
It seems that I was a little petty.”
"No, Your Highness personally came to explain this matter, so I can see how much you value Yun Xi. Speaking of which, Yun Xi is still favored.
Shocking." Actually, there was no need for him to come at all. Instead, he made me feel uneasy.
Murong Cang took over my words and said to Murong? H said," Seventh Brother is busy with work and even came personally. Xi-er is indeed at a disadvantage."
It's suitable."
I ignored him. He said that others were busy with work, but did he not have any work to do? He spent the whole day by my side, but he
I didn't avoid suspicion at all. Fortunately, my skin was thick enough and I wasn't afraid of being laughed at by others. Otherwise, I would have been raped by Murong Che and the two beautiful sisters today.
After making fun of him, if it were anyone else, they might not dare to go out in the future.
Murong? H picked up the teacup and took a sip. He nodded and praised,"Junzhu is indeed an exquisite person. Even this tea is different.
I actually smelled like winter when I drank it.”
Hearing his words, I couldn't help but chuckle. What winter smell? It's just that there are plum blossoms added to it. It smells fragrant. Actually, I don't even know
He wondered if he had been poisoned, but based on the current situation, he didn't think so.
Suddenly, I realized that the scene seemed to be a little cold. I looked back and forth at them and found that both of them were in a daze. I don't know what happened.
Yao Xie.
"Cough cough…"
I coughed slightly to remind them to quickly come back to their senses. Murong Cang was the first to wake up, and the first thing he said was actually-
"Seventh Brother is busy with work and has been here for half a day. Any misunderstanding has been explained. It's better to go back to the yamen as soon as possible.
Go back. I'm afraid your subordinates won't dare to go home.”
Murong, why is it so obvious that you're sending me off? How could H not understand? He drank the cup of tea in one gulp and stood up to salute me.
"Thank you for the good tea, Princess. I'll take my leave first. Also, it's my turn to hold the royal family's reunion dinner this year.
She is our prospective Fourth Sister-in-law, so please come. It will definitely add a lot of color to the family banquet.”
To be honest, I was afraid to appear with these people, but his request was reasonable and I couldn't refuse.
Originally, I wanted to ask Uncle Sheng to send him out of the residence, but considering that he is a prince after all, Murong Cang and I will send him out together.
I originally thought that Murong Cang was beside him and he wouldn't mention the matter of suddenly barging into my residence last time. Who knew that he still said it, and even said it like a hippie.
Smiling.
"The last time I left the residence from here, but the treatment has changed in just a few days!”
I saw that Murong Cang's expression was ugly, but he didn't flare up. I smiled and said,"Of course. I don't know why His Highness didn't understand it last time.
It's already good enough to be able to leave openly. As for this time…"
"How was it this time?" They were just joking with each other, Murong? H naturally answered.
"This time, Yunxi personally welcomed you in, so you can also take it as personally sending you out!”
Instantly, the three of them broke into laughter, and the atmosphere became lively. They reached the entrance of the manor as they spoke.
"Speaking of official business, Fourth Brother is not much easier than me. There's something I need to discuss with Fourth Brother. Why don't Fourth Brother come back with me?
Yamen, what do you think?" And Murong? When h said goodbye, he wanted to drag Murong Cang along. I actually didn't have any objections.
It was time to rest. It was best if they all left.
Murong Cang looked at me and knew that I was also tired from the day, so he nodded and agreed. The two of them left together, and I told them
He instructed," Send a reliable person to the prison to take a look at Mi Yuan as soon as possible. Remember not to leave any traces and don't ask her anything. When you come back, I'll be there."
Make plans."
He could finally catch up on his sleep. It was not that he did not get enough sleep, but it was really exhausting dealing with these people!
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Murong Cang and his brother left Yun Xi's place together. They were silent the entire way. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was very oppressive.
Because Murong Cang had returned to the residence with Yun Xi earlier, he had prepared a carriage. H naturally rode a horse for speed.
The two of them sat in the carriage together. Zhou Quan and the coachman sat outside and couldn't help but turn around to look inside the carriage.
He felt the cold air behind the curtain and couldn't help but shiver. It seemed that it was still warm outside, even though the north wind was so cold in the middle of winter.
He was blowing…
Murong Cang looked at his little brother carefully. This little brother of his was the most mischievous one among his brothers. I remember when I was young, all my brothers
He was very respectful to the Crown Prince. Firstly, he was indeed much older than them. Secondly, he was the Crown Prince after all. The problem with his status was there.
Among all the brothers, only Little Seven was lucky enough to be carried by the Crown Prince. At that time, the Crown Prince was already thirteen or fourteen years old and was basically an adult.
Little Seven was being held by the Crown Prince, but this kid didn't even have time to grab anything. He peed on this big brother first and then
The Crown Prince was not angry at all. He even laughed and said,"Fate, fate!"
Murong Cang himself also liked this little brother when he was young. Why did he look so wary and worried now?
Were brothers no longer brothers when they grew up?
"Seventh brother, what do you want to tell me?”
Murong? How could H not have a myriad of thoughts when his fourth brother was sizing him up?
She had once envied her fourth brother for being able to take command of the army at the age of fourteen. She had once been happy to have such a brave and good brother.
How many times had she been happy for her brother's achievements? But what made them so distant now?
Suspicion? When he understood that power determined fate, when he stood firmly behind his second brother, he knew all his feelings.
Even if the blood ties made him still admire his legendary brother on the battlefield, no matter how much feelings he had, they could only be left in the dust.
Feng, it was impossible for them to turn back. And now, another new problem was placed in front of him. He was already very concerned about his Quasi-Four.
His sister-in-law was moved by her mortal heart, and he, Murong, was moved by her? H had never backed down in his life.
"It's not a big deal, but I don't want to talk about it in front of Princess Wuyou, so I want to discuss it with Fourth Brother in private first.
Take a measure." Murong? He moved his body slightly and changed into a more comfortable position.
"You want to tell me about the murderer who killed Tian Wenhu, right?”
"I knew Fourth Brother was a smart person.”Murong Cang rolled his eyes at the flattery.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
"Fourth Brother, I won't talk nonsense today. Let's put aside the things between us. You don't want us to be enemies.
If they fought, it would benefit the fisherman who wanted to profit. No matter how we brothers fight, we are still father's son, the country.
It can only be the Murongs. Do you agree?”
Murong Cang nodded," Did you guys also notice that something was wrong?”
Murong? H sneered." How could I not notice? Wasn't it too obvious? Tian Wenhu's death, the murderer was hiding everywhere.
He had to hide in Princess Wuyou's manor? This Yu Xing was usually the most careful. Why did he dare to take such a big risk this time? Isn't it to be thorough
To sow discord between us brothers? But they didn't expect Fourth Brother to fall for that kind of trick. Presumably, Fourth Brother had already seen through it.
Shall we cut it?"
Murong Cang didn't comment and only said,"Do you know who it is?"”
"Who else could it be?"
Murong Cang also nodded," Yeah, who else could it be other than him!”
"What they didn't expect was that this Princess Wuyou wasn't a person who was easy to get along with. They thought that she had suffered a tragic death and was alone.
A woman, a weak daughter of a rich family, could make them suffer. However, they did not expect that this princess was really worthy of the few words of the Crown Prince's big brother last time. This time, he
They failed to steal the chicken and even lost the rice.”
When Murong Cang heard him mention Yun Xi, his heart warmed," Little Seven, let's settle this as soon as possible. It's better not to involve Yun Xi."
Alright, as for the throne, it should be given to the capable. If Second Brother is really destined, I can only sacrifice my life for justice.”
A word, Murong? H was moved and exclaimed,"Fourth Brother-"
"This is our fate in the center of power. When we choose this path, we must think of the ending and all kinds of knots.
Although I firmly believed in my position and choice, I knew that my brother and my opponent could not be weaker than me. seven
Brother, we all have our own persistence. I don't advise you to give up. Let's have a real fight. In fact, we have no regrets in life.
It's over."
Murong? Today, H suddenly felt that he had to re-examine his fourth brother. He was unrestrained, rough, and unconstrained. He was on the battlefield.
With a wave of his hand, tens of thousands of heads fell. But it turned out that his fourth brother, who was known as the God of War of the Celestial Dynasty, was so delicate and heavy.
Love, he might not be the most outstanding and eye-catching among his brothers because he was always by his third brother's side, but he was definitely the most
The one who could be trusted, the one who was most worthy of being entrusted. Yun Xi, Yun Xi, if you choose such a man, you will definitely be happy, but
How can I accept this? Am I much worse than him? It was only a matter of time, wasn't it?
"Seventh Brother, I'm suddenly being so straightforward with you today. I don't care what weakness you have on me. Actually, I can just say it directly.
My weakness is Third Brother and Yun Xi. I'm saying this because I hope that you're still my brothers. You can deal with me and Third Brother.
Brother, but it's better not to make a move on her. After all, she's not an insider.”
Murong? H didn't answer. He couldn't answer at all. He would never hurt her and would never allow anyone to hurt her, but
What did it mean to make a move? Did falling in love with her count? Murong? H could only smile bitterly.
"Fourth Brother, we will never hurt her. After all, Father won't allow it, right?”
Murong Cang finally nodded. Even though they were on different sides, the men of the Murong family were true to their words.
The Yamen of the Registration Department, Murong? He got out of the car, but Murong Cang did not go. After they parted ways, they went to the residence of Prince Ming.
Murong? H watched as the carriage drove further and further away. The dust that was raised in the dry air of the late winter did not dissipate for a long time...
