Conspiracy

Chapter 314

Li Jiu's back suddenly felt cold, and he turned his head suddenly, regaining his cold expression, holding the hilt of his sword, and looked around vigilantly.But everything was as usual, and nothing unusual happened.

When he turned around, he didn't notice that his shadow quietly darkened, and the blink of an eye returned to the original state.

When he stepped into the front yard, he just heard a clear and high-spirited male voice.

"Third brother, just let me go in front of Yue brother! Just pretend you haven't seen me in the general's mansion! When you go back, please help me to say hello to my mother and concubine. Please help me to say more good things."

"It's the father who asked me to take you home."

"Home? The palace is also considered home? Last night, if brother Yue didn't let me go out, I would have rushed into the palace early! Third brother, I really didn't say you, how could you let sister Jingyao go? That’s great! Goodbye, but I don’t know it’s the Year of the Monkey.”

"You will never see her again."

"How do you say this? We met outside the palace earlier, but we made an appointment to play polo together, and we will go hunting together during the autumn hunting."

With the patter of rain outside, Xiao Chuhong and Su Zhen vaguely heard their conversation.

They handed over the umbrella to the boy, cleaned the mud off the boots, and followed the housekeeper into the house.The furnishings inside are elegant and unique, most of which are made of top-grade red sandalwood, no incense is lit, and the natural fragrance of sandalwood is permeated all around.

"Mom, we're back."

Xiao Chuhong didn't let go of Su Zhen's hand, Su Zhen quietly raised her eyes.
I saw Shang Yuchen wearing a black robe sitting on the front seat, and a woman in white sitting beside him.

She wears a white and blue horse-face skirt with a stand-up collar, double-breasted pipa, and short sleeves, with delicate orchids embroidered on the neckline and wide blue hem.Immortal and beautiful, with wind and rain on the temples, has a unique charm that is difficult to explain.The sapphire blue tassel hairpin paired with sapphire earrings complemented her skin like white jade, making her forgetful and refined.

In the first place under Shang Yuchen, besides Gu Yunshu, there was also a boy in a brown cloth.He was playing with the teacup in his hand, full of rage, even worse than Su Zhen.The facial features are not like their Luo Qi, with deep eye sockets and higher cheekbones.His hair is very short, tied up at the back of his head with a brown hair tie.A piece of animal skin is wrapped around the waist, and a black tiger-shaped jade pendant is tied around the waist.

Su Zhen pulled out her hand, bowed her head and nodded, "Su Zhen has met His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness Prince Jing, and Mrs. Xiao."

"You're welcome, Zhen'er, sit down." Shang Yuchen showed a familiar smile, and raised his hand to signal them to take their seats.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

There was no restraint on Su Zhen's face, and she naturally fell beside Xiao Chuhong.

"I recognize you! I saw your portrait in Brother Yue's study! But it doesn't look like it, it feels like it was a few years ago."

When Shang Mujing said this, everyone's expressions changed.

Shang Yuchen and Gu Yunshu stared at Xiao Chuhong suspiciously. It turned out that he had harbored ill intentions towards Su Zhen a long time ago, but luckily he still pretended to be a gentleman.

Lu Jingshu had never been to Xiao Chuhong's study, so she naturally didn't know what he was hiding. Hearing this, she couldn't help but look at Su Zhen again.

Su Zhen held back her smile, "Your Highness has a really good memory, but the person in the painting may not be a subordinate official."

"No, no! That painting is hanging on the wall, go and see it if you don't believe me!"

"Cough!" Shang Yuchen coughed dryly, wanting to remind Shang Mujing, but he got excited.

He half squatted in front of Su Zhen, grinned and said, "Although I have only been in Beijing for two days, I have heard a lot about your deeds. Those people are purely brainless. They don't want to get rich all day long. He will gossip behind other people's backs. You can pass those foul language after listening to it, so don't mind it, don't take it to your heart!"

"His Highness thinks that the official is a good person?"

Su Zhen was a little surprised, it was the first time someone comforted her because she was being scolded.

"Don't be your highness, you low official, you can just call me Mu Jing, and I will also call you Zhen'er along with the third brother."

"no!"

"No!"

Shang Mujing's temper was more familiar than Tang Yinchen's, but just as he finished his words, he was double rejected by Xiao Chuhong and Shang Yuchen.

"What are you two doing? Just force me to go back to the palace all day long. You guys are not happy to make friends!"

Shang Yuchen was angry and funny, and said helplessly to Lu Jingshu, "Madam, don't mind, Mu Jing has lived outside the palace for a long time, and he is not familiar with the rules in the palace, so don't take it to heart."

"His Royal Highness is joking. His Royal Highness Prince Jing has been in the mansion for two days, and the general's mansion has become a bit more lively. On weekdays, Yue'er is often absent, so the mansion is very deserted."

When Shang Mujing smiled, he would show his big white teeth without hesitation, and his hearty laughter was even more pleasant to the ear. He got up from Su Zhen, trotted behind Lu Jingshu, lightly clenched his fist and punched her on the back of the shoulder a few times. Skillfully began to pinch her shoulders.

"Ma'am, it's still raining outside. My third brother insists on taking me away. Why don't you take me in for another two days? And Zhen'er, let him stay for a few more days. It happened to be lively and lively together."

"Your Highness likes the General's Mansion, so I am naturally happy. It's just that the emperor calls you into the palace, and I dare not stop you. If you live in the palace for a few days first, if you feel bored, you can come back."

"Really?" Shang Mujing's eyes lit up, "Ma'am, you are kind-hearted! There are a few heartless people, there is really no comparison."

The few people he was referring to didn't care about his embarrassment at all.

Shang Yuchen said helplessly, "If I really wanted to force you, I would have already led the imperial army into the mansion, so why bother to persuade you."

"Don't listen, don't listen! Anyway, third brother, you have changed, you are with the father, you don't love me anymore! Hey, by the way, you haven't finished talking just now, what happened to sister Jingyao? She Where did you go for sightseeing again? You can’t even catch up with the autumn hunting! Could it be that you went to some deep mountains and old forests? Really! You don’t even bring me with you! It’s too much!"

Shang Mujing Balabala said a lot, and the few people who listened were full of black lines.

"His Royal Highness Prince Jing, you probably don't know that the princess set herself ablaze on Huanyu Mountain last night." Gu Yunshu said in a pretentiously heavy voice.

Shang Mujing's smile finally froze, "Master Gu, what did you say?"

"The lower official said, the princess is her"

"She's dead? Are you talking nonsense? How can you lie to people about death in order to deceive me back to the palace! It's too much! Third brother, tell me! Master Gu is lying to me, right! "

Shang Yuchen had no intention of joking with him on his face, and told him the answer in silence.

"How is this possible? You don't see any sadness on your faces at all! You must be lying to me!"

"Mu Jing, it's true." Shang Yuchen said.

"I don't believe it! Where's the corpse! I want to see sister Jingyao's corpse!"
