When he arrived at the execution place, Zhao Duofu was helped down by someone.

Vegetable leaves and egg shells hung on his body, and the rotten egg liquid hung on his face, and even the hair was frozen by the ear.

The guards took him to the stage and threw him on the shelf.

The executioner gulped down a sip of wine, then sprayed it on the long knife.

Hand up, knife down.

A fast horse galloped through the market and stopped outside the crowd.

Immediately, two people jumped off, and the two squeezed into the crowd, and when they arrived in front of Xingtai, they were stunned.

Lin Heng raised his hand and covered the girl's eyes with his wide sleeves.

"It's okay." Cheng Muqing held down his forearm, adjusted his breathing, and then raised his eyes again.

Her eyes were blood red.

"People are gone."

"Ah."

"Let's go." Lin Heng couldn't bear to look.

"Actually, I have no affection for Zhao Duofu at all." Cheng Muqing said flatly, "So, I didn't try my best to save him."

The surroundings were noisy, and the two of them fell into the buzzing sound like falling into a beehive.

"It's just that in the war with Qiguo, Zhao Duofu fought on the battlefield and took the lead, which I admire." Cheng Muqing looked at Lin Heng, "He is a good general. I admire him and hope he can live. But this is only based on As far as I am concerned, he has no faults. I can actually understand Yuan An. His home was raided, his parents, siblings died, and those who survived were humiliated. And his life was ruined because of it... "

"Don't think about it." Lin Heng said softly.

Cheng Muqing turned his gaze and caught a figure in the crowd.With little hesitation, she hurried to follow.

The two followed the figure and came out of the crowd.

The figure seemed to let the two of them follow him intentionally, going around, stopping and going, leading them into an alley.

When Fang stepped into the alley, Cheng Muqing's breath became stagnant, and her eyes swept across the sky.

"What's wrong?" Lin Heng followed her gaze and looked up, only to realize that someone was ambushing in secret.

As if they were not afraid of being discovered, they still stayed in the tree and remained motionless.

"Let's go." Cheng Muqing instantly understood.

The two continued to walk until they reached an alley.

The figure turned around, tall and tall, beautiful as a flower, and its skin was white and glowing.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." The man saluted.

"I knew you would come." Of course Cheng Muqing didn't come here to watch Zhao Duofu's execution, nor did he come here to save him.

She just wanted to block Li Lanyi.

Li Lanyi stood quietly and straightened his back a little bit.

"Li Lanyi, Zhao Duofu, I'm hopeless. The matter of the Yuan family is about to be overturned." Cheng Muqing said, "Can you also sell me a favor?"

Is it to negotiate terms?Li Lan lowered his eyes and remained silent, as if acquiescing.

"Cao Da is also from Qiguo?"

A trace of complexity flashed across Li Lan's eyes.

"It seems that you are not sure." Cheng Muqing analyzed, "Then do you know how many soldiers Qi Guo has?"

As soon as Li Lan stretched out his hand, he made a "five".

"fifty thousand?"

The other party nodded slightly, "At least, he should still be in the north."

The faces of the two were slightly condensed.

"Now, the Yuan family's vengeance has been avenged, so don't continue to meddle in it." Cheng Muqing said, "Now, you must be loyal to Da Jin."

"What if... no?"

"We don't care about Yuan Zhenzhu's life or death." Lin Heng looked indifferent.

Yuan Zhenzhu's appearance touched the cake of many people?If there is no one to protect, I am afraid that I will not live long.As the palm seal of the supervisor of ceremonies, Li Lanyi certainly has the power to protect him.But an eunuch is always an eunuch, and what he is attached to is nothing but imperial power.

"Heh~ You two are really getting better and better." Li Lanyi smiled helplessly.

"What?" Cheng Muqing didn't hear clearly.

"Shushu." Li Lanyi suddenly called her, "You have to be careful of everyone around you, you and Rangchen's whereabouts are pretty close to the Qiguo's forces, I'm afraid they have planted something beside you. Someone. Maybe that person is Cao Da, or maybe... someone else."

"You brought us here on purpose just to say this?" Cheng Muqing asked.

"You deliberately blocked me outside the palace, isn't it also because... Do you think you are being targeted?"

"I've met people from Qiguo. It's amazing...whether you are inside the palace or outside the palace. They can know your specific whereabouts, packages...you went to the small courtyard to wait for delivery."

Cheng Muqing bit her lips involuntarily, her brows were tightly frowned, and the people who had visited her in the small courtyard couldn't help appearing in her mind.

"Let's go." Li Lanyi bent his back again, as if he had turned into the palm print of Li once again.With a flattering smile on his face, he waited for the two to raise their feet before following.

……

Zhao Duofu's death was like a boulder sinking to the bottom of the sea.

In the beginning, it could still stir up waves in the court, but now it is just a passing cloud.In contrast, the case of the Yuan family made everyone in the court panic.The Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments was upright, and in just a few days, all the officials recorded in the pamphlet were arrested and sent to prison.And these officials also confessed to what they did.

The notorious Yuan family also became loyal ministers overnight.

It really complied with the phrase "one emperor, one courtier".

Maybe it was because Li Lanyi's words made people anxious, Cheng Muqing had been dreaming about a small courtyard for many days.

At the end of the dream, it was confirmed that there was a candidate, but she had investigated that candidate.

Various investigations showed that he was innocent.

But because of this, her doubts about that man deepened.

She thought of A Feng, a person who also couldn't find a trace of suspiciousness.

Just as she was in a daze, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall.Without raising her head, she asked lazily, "What's the matter?"

"It's a letter from the northern border." Jinxi happily sent the letter.

"A letter?" Cheng Muqing rolled his eyes and reached out to take it.She opened the envelope and took out the letter paper. After opening it, what came into view was a letter with very beautiful handwriting.She thought about it for a while, and couldn't help feeling strange.

This handwriting does not look like a big brother, nor does it look like a father or mother... On the contrary, it has the air of a lady.

Continuing to look down, Cheng Muqing's hands froze involuntarily.

"Niang Niang?" Seeing her stiff body, Jinxi asked worriedly.

"Who sent this letter?" Cheng Muqing asked.

"It's a servant, he's wearing the clothes of a servant of the Cheng family." Jin Xi hurriedly said.

In a big family like the Cheng family, the servants and servants in the family have specially customized clothes.

"Is the person still there?"

"Yes." Jinxi nodded.

"Go, take me to see him." Cheng Muqing got up.

"Ah?" Jinxi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly led the way.

this letter.It wasn't from the elder brother Beijing, but from his sister-in-law Chu.

In the letter, the Chu family stated that he was discovered by the barbarians there as soon as he arrived in the northern border.During the escape, Xin was rescued by Boss Lu, and now he is in Boss Lu's house.

The purpose of the letter is to hope that she can pick it up in person.

Cheng Muqing stepped out of Fengyi Palace, found a court lady, said a few words to her, and then left.

She changed into a light dress, and her hair was only fixed with a hairpin.

Taking advantage of the dim night, she walked out of the imperial city.

Outside the imperial city, there was a carriage parked under a big willow tree not far away.

"Your Majesty, that person gave it to me!" Jin Xi pointed.

Cheng Muqing gave a "hmm" and felt his right eye beating non-stop.She couldn't help covering her right eye, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.
