"Really? How did you tell?"
"Guess it."
"..."
Huangfu Liyue only felt a group of crows flying by.
She knew that to talk gossip with this guy was tantamount to having trouble with herself.
Mu Jingchen didn't continue this topic, and asked: "You used a gu to frame your female officer, did you explain to the master behind the scenes?"
Two days ago, Huangfu Liyue had already talked to him about the recent events in the palace on the phone.
Huangfu Liyue shook her head.
"No, it's weird to say that Qiao Lishan refused to explain why she was behind the scenes.
Today, I took her family to persecute her, hoping that she can tell her who instigated her.
However, she would rather use the child in her belly as a bargaining chip to force her to death than tell the person behind it.
She can even help herself and the child in her belly, but even if she refuses to let it go, I can't do anything. "
Mu Jingchen's eyes were getting cold, and he analyzed: "In this way, the messenger behind her has already pinched her to death, and it is useless for you to ask."
"Yeah, I really don't know what benefits the person who instigated her behind the scenes has given her, she would rather use the child as a bargaining chip than confess this person."
Huangfu Liyue frowned, with an incomprehensible look on her face.
Seeing that she was a little worried, Mu Jingchen calmed down and said, "Don't worry, whether she confessed to the main envoy behind the scenes has little effect on us.
Now Chang'an Temple is surrounded by master guards sent by the king, no one dares to do evil at this time, otherwise, they would just throw themselves into the trap.
As for the person behind this scene, I think that when Qiao Lishan gives birth, she will show up. "
Huangfu Liyue agreed with this point very much.
The reason why Qiao Lishan refused to name the person behind the scenes must be because the people behind the scenes gave her hope for life.
Therefore, she would not confess this person anyway, and she must still count on this person to save her.
But a lie is a lie. Who can rescue a death row prisoner from the king?
When she gave birth to the child, she would know that the people behind the scenes were just coaxing her.
At that time, she would definitely collapse to the extreme, confessing to the master behind the scenes.
The master behind the scenes can naturally think of this, and will definitely kill Qiao Lishan when Qiao Lishan confessed to herself.
All they can do now is wait.
Huangfu Liyue didn't want to worry about this anymore, she looked at him and said: "This matter is set aside for the time being. I believe that those who instigated her will not dare to make trouble at this time. At least, we can have a birthday."
Mu Jingchen put his hand on her head and rubbed it twice.
"Well, don't think so much, it's late, let's rest."
He took her hand and led her upstairs.
As the saying goes, little is better than newlyweds.
As soon as he entered the room, Huangfu Liyue was caught off guard against the wall.
Immediately afterwards, his thin, soft lips covered her lips.
She fell into his arms and was held tightly by him.
The faint scent of cologne lingered on the tip of her nose, and it smelled particularly good.
She slowly closed her eyes, quietly enjoying the gentleness and domineering from him.
The temperature of the room also seemed to gradually rise at this moment.
Not long after, she felt his rapid breathing.
She was picked up by him and put on the bed gently.
His slender fingers traced the outline of her face lightly, and the cold black eyes became hot.
His eyes locked her firmly, as if to engrave her whole person in the bottom of his heart.
Then, he stretched out his hand to pull the quilt on the side, covering both of them.
At this moment, the distance between the two is getting closer and closer.
…
Early the next morning.
The king ordered Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen to go to the main hall together.
At this moment, in the magnificent main hall, the ministers stood on both sides.
Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen were brought in by the guards.
"Meet Father King."
"Meet your majesty."
The two stopped three meters away from the king and saluted the king respectfully.
The king sat in front of the main hall, watching his daughter and son-in-law come together.
The two match well in terms of appearance, talent, or understanding.
Satisfaction was in the king's eyes.
"You don't need to be polite, Jing Chen, Nuo Xi has already told me that you are a great contributor to the disaster in Zhoucheng this time.
With your own efforts, you don't know how many victims have been saved. Here, I would like to thank you for the people of Zhoucheng! "
Mu Jingchen's expression was as indifferent as before, and he replied: "Your Majesty is serious, it's not enough to raise your finger."
The king waved his hand.
"You don't have to be so humble. Although you are not a member of Country Y, you have done a great job for Zhoucheng and Country Y this time. You deserve to be awarded and rewarded!"
The king waved his hand and ordered: "If the word goes on, Mu Jingchen will save the people of Zhoucheng and the fire and water. From today onwards, he will be specially named a first-class marquis, and he will reward you with ten million yuan!"
As soon as he said this, Huangfu Liyue raised her eyelids in surprise.
The ministers in the hall looked at each other even more.
"Although Mu Jingchen has contributed to the disaster, a commoner can be promoted to a first-class marquis, isn't this too soon?"
"Yes, the marquis can only grant rewards to the emperor's relatives and even important officials who have made great achievements. After all, Mu Jingchen is still so young, how can he receive such a big reward?"
"Mu Jingchen is the husband of the princess, and logically speaking, he is also a relative of the emperor. The king prefers the princess. It is reasonable to make an exception."
Marquis, located only under the king, queen, prince, and duke, is a high point that many ministers cannot reach in their entire lives.
And Mu Jingchen had reached it at such a young age.
The ministers could also see that the king was taking the opportunity to promote Mu Jingchen, so that he could do great things in the future and have a bright future.
At this moment, the ministers had nothing but eagerness.
The ministers kept casting envious eyes at Mu Jingchen.
But Mu Jingchen didn't move.
Not only did he not give thanks, but there was even a little worry in his eyebrows.
Seeing that he didn't move, Huangfu Liyue reminded in a low voice: "Jing Chen, what are you thinking, you should thank you."
After hesitating for a few seconds, Mu Jingchen took two steps forward.
"Your Majesty, please take it back, and forgive me for not being able to accept the reward."
The king's pupils shrank, and his smile froze on his face.
"What did you say?"
The ministers were even more surprised.
"Refused to offer rewards? Is he crazy!"
"Yeah, this honor of Guangzong Yaozu can't be requested by others, but he actually refused?"
"What the **** does he mean? Doesn't he still think that the reward is not enough? This is too ignorant to praise!"
Huangfu Liyue looked at him in surprise, unable to guess his thoughts for a while.
Mu Jingchen ignored all the comments behind him, and also ignored Huangfu Liyue's surprised expression, and insisted: "Please take your majesty back!"
These words really made the king unable to come to power.
In other words, other people who have received this kind of gift will be grateful to Dade for thanking him.
When he arrived at Mu Jingchen, he refused without saying a word.
