The guard saw Mu Cen come out and carefully helped Mu Cen up the steps.
Mu Cen nodded, did not say anything, and then walked towards the direction of the snow tower, the guard quickly closed the door of the dungeon, as if Mu Cen had never been.
……
——
At night, the snow falls in the building.
Mu Cen seems absent-minded, as if waiting for something.
Occasionally, Mu Cen's eyes fell on Li Shiyuan, who came uninvited. In the end, he didn't say anything.
Li Shiyuan didn't realize it, but before Mu Cen took the initiative to speak, Li Shiyuan didn't take the initiative to ask questions. His slender fingers gently applied medicine to Mu Cen's wound.
Although the wound has healed.
But the scar still looks shocking.
Li Shiyuan's eyebrows slightly twisted up, but the hands of the action did not stop.
Since Mu Cen was injured, Li Shiyuan would appear in the palace almost every other day. They didn't talk to each other. Li Shiyuan would take the initiative to leave after giving Mu Cen medicine, and he didn't need Mu Cen's orders.
It's just that Mu Cen has never been so thoughtful as tonight.
"You have a mind." After Li Shiyuan put down the medicine bottle, he pinched Mu Cen's chin and asked directly.
Mu Cen raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Shiyuan: "can I hide my thoughts from your highness?"
Li Shiyuan said with a smile: "do you want Chen Zhirong's life?"
Mu Cen see Li Shiyuan see through, but also did not deny, well, Li Shiyuan this just let go, Mu Cen stood up, but always look at Mu Cen condescending.
Mu Cen was upset by Li Shiyuan: "what are you looking at?"
"You want Chen Zhirong's life, but the process is different from what you think. You want Lord Mu to do it, but unexpectedly, Lord Mu has followed your clues to find out what happened in those years, but he is still indifferent? " What Li Shiyuan said is direct.
Mu Cen frowned and didn't speak any more.
It's not surprising that Li Shiyuan knows this.
After Mu Cen said these words that day, Mu Hongyuan naturally sent someone to check.
Mu Cen thinks that in such a situation, as long as she adds fuel to the flames, Chen Zhirong will surely die. What he didn't expect is that Mu Hongyuan didn't move at all.
Even wenpo and the informed slaves were dealt with by Mu Hongyuan.
It's like Mu Cen's words and deeds, which makes these slaves deeply in danger, and finally they can't even save their lives.
But Chen Zhirong is safe and sound in the dungeon.
"Your Highness, since you all know it, why ask me again?" Mu Cen waved Li Shiyuan's hand coldly.
"Do you think Mu Hongyuan is a fool?" Li Shiyuan looked at Mu Cen coldly, "what do you want, Mu Hongyuan will follow your idea?"
Mu Cen didn't answer.
"To touch Chen Zhirong is to touch the whole body. The shadow guards Mu Hongyuan keeps outside are run by the Chen family's money. When Chen Zhirong dies, there must be no contact between the Chen family and Mu Hongyuan. You have to know how many secrets Mu Hongyuan has in the hands of the Chen family over the years? "
When Li Shiyuan looks at Mu Cen's eyes, he seems to say that Mu CEN is overpowering himself.
How can Mu Cen not understand these truths? When he was told by Li Shiyuan, Mu Cen sneered and could not say whether he disdained or mocked.
"What I want, I can never miss." Mu Cen seems cold, but the voice is particularly calm.
Li Shiyuan picks an eyebrow, suddenly hooks Mu Cen's chin: "Mu Cen, do you know what I like about you?"
Mu Cen twisted his eyebrows and didn't understand Li Shiyuan's sudden problem.
Li Shiyuan rubbed Mu Cen's delicate skin with his thin cocoon finger. All of a sudden, he gave such a light smile, and then made it clear word by word: "your ruthlessness."
Mu Cen quietly looked at Li Shiyuan and said nothing.
Then Li Shiyuan released Mu Cen.
Mu Cen naturally took a step back. He could not understand the meaning of chasing guests in his eyes. However, Mu Cen's mind did not seem to be on Li Shiyuan's body. The remaining light from the corner of his eye always fell outside the Luoxue building, as if he was waiting for something.
But Li Shiyuan didn't mean to leave.
Just when they were in a stalemate, suddenly, there was a knock at the door of the house. It was housekeeper Chen's voice: "Miss, it's not good. The side imperial concubine is crazy in the dungeon. Lord, madam, they've all gone. "
Mu Cen's hands were tight in his wide sleeves.
Li Shiyuan looks at Mu Cen.
Mu Cen didn't speak much. He turned around and was about to walk outside the snow tower.
At the moment when Mu Cen turned around, Li Shiyuan had already held Mu Cen's hand, and his eyes sank.
Mu Cen said directly: "let go."
Li Shiyuan looks at Mu Cen. Before Mu Cen's patience is completely lost, Li Shiyuan finally releases Mu Cen's hand. Mu Cen ignores whether Li Shiyuan is still in the Luoxue building and pushes the door out in a hurry.
Housekeeper Chen is waiting outside the door.
Mu Cen nodded: "what's the situation?"
Chamberlain Chen is a man who has been through a lot of trouble in King Mu's mansion. Even if it is the things that Chen Zhirong made before, Chamberlain Chen can face them without changing his face.
And now, housekeeper Chen's eyes were a little bit frightened.
When he looked at Mu Cen again, his voice stammered: "the princess has appeared in the dungeon..."
"Mother Princess?" Mu Cen twisted his eyebrows.
"Yes. The empress appeared in the dungeon and pestered her. She was scared and screamed. At first, the guards of the dungeon didn't react. When the guards reacted, the guards were scared. The princess was in the dungeon like this. "
Housekeeper Chen said it vividly, but he was still a little scared. He just looked at Mu Cen and swallowed his saliva. Then he continued: "lady's feet are off the ground, she is not alive..."
Mu Cen's eyebrows tightened.
"Young lady, don't believe what the slave said. The guards in the dungeon can see it clearly. The Lord and the old lady have passed by. I'm afraid they have seen it too." Housekeeper Chen sighed, "Niang Niang, it's accounting."
"You know?" Mu Cen and Chen housekeeper's panic compared, but it seems more calm.
Housekeeper Chen was quiet: "I don't know much. Apart from the confidants, the side imperial concubine kept a little bit to others, as well as to the slaves. But people with a clear eye can't see that the princess's body was gradually collapsing at that time. "
Housekeeper Chen recalled what happened at that time, and finally sighed: "the ghost in the palace is more than the empress."
Mu Cen made a sound, and his steps were a little faster.
Housekeeper Chen follows Mu Cen closely, and they quickly walk towards the dungeon.
……
When Mu Cen got close to the dungeon, he heard Chen Zhirong's shrill cry. The guards outside the dungeon looked frightened, pale and frightening, just like seeing a ghost.
