Chapter 223 - A Step in Chess (2)

He thought he reminded her of something unpleasant.

In fact, even if Jin Yulie could calculate everything, he would still not be able to calculate Mu Wanjun's true origins.

This was also the most fundamental bottom line in Mu Wanjun's heart. She would not tell anyone about this.

At this moment, under the moonlight, within a brilliant splendor that spanned ten thousand li, he retracted his gaze and lowered his head. His thoughts were deep and profound, and with a single look, she was destined to last for ten thousand years. There didn't seem to be any distance between them.

She just stared at him, letting the ice in the corner of her heart collapse while a sharp knife carved a face inside.

When Nimentinol just arrived at Imperial Palace, he realized that the atmosphere in the Imperial Hall was abnormal.

Chunyu Hong came out and sat down. Before waiting for his eunuch to announce him, Nimentinol stepped out.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this humble subject has something to report."

Chunyu Hong still had a faint smile on his face, "Speak." Yesterday's matter has changed again? "

Nimentinol immediately told her everything that had happened last night without missing a single word. She even showed her the corpse with the Qilin tattoo and the jade ornament.

"Your Majesty, this humble subject suspects that this was done by the State Duke of Jin and Mu Wanjun!"

"What a joke. If this really was done by the State Duke of Jin, he would be foolish enough to leave behind such an obvious clue."

He did not want to lose face for his State Duke of Jin, and did not want to admit that someone was wearing a green hat, so he had no choice but to take action. As for the jade pendant, it is much easier to explain, it belongs to Mu Wanjun!

"How can you be sure?"

"I've seen that piece of jade! She had given birth to a bastard child who feared that she would fail and that she would have to kill everyone to keep her mouth shut! Now that she had finally hooked up with Jin Yulie, she naturally couldn't keep her former lover. Therefore, there is no way that any of this has anything to do with the two of them! "

That seemed reasonable.

Chunyu Feng, however, thought to himself: "So the Imperial Consort Yu was hiding this kind of trick."

"Then what about now?" Someone asked. If Mu Wanjun or Jin Yulie wanted to kill someone, what about their corpse? I can't hide it and raise him up.

"How would I know!" Chunyu Hao was getting impatient from the question.

In reality, the various sects and clans had killed quite a number of people. Even if one of the servants was not considerate enough to serve them, it was a common occurrence for them to lose their lives.

Only this guy had lost his life in front of everyone, so it was not nice to hear about it.

Furthermore, he was the first person since the founding of the Great Qin Empire to sound out such a shocking news. There were so many countries in the Mystic Moon Continent, and every country had more or less paid attention to this matter.

The Emperor of the Great Qin could not just let it go like this.

Finally, Chunyu Hong spoke: "Where are the State Duke of Jin people? "Why didn't you come to the morning assembly today?"

The old servant Eunuch Hao immediately whispered in his ear: "State Duke of Jin is currently in the side hall."

"Oh?" Chunyu Hong turned to look at him, "Go over first."

Chunyu Hong suddenly stood up and followed the Eunuch Hao to the side hall. Yet, he left everyone in the imperial court. Without saying anything, no one dared to leave, and they could only watch as he left.

"What's going on?"

"Why has His Majesty left?" The ministers began to discuss carefully.

Chunyu Hong came to the side hall. Jin Yulie was there as well, and there were two more people beside him.

One of them was Mu Wanjun, while the other one was the one who had already died in everyone's mouths.

"State Duke of Jin, what's going on?"

Chunyu Hong lifted his robes and sat down, his long and narrow eyes casually sweeping across everyone's faces.

Mu Wanjun smiled calmly: "Your Majesty, didn't the masses guess that this commoner had killed this person? It was the complete opposite, this commoner was saved by this commoner."

"Oh," Chunyu Hong's eyes swept across, "So, what do you want to prove?"

"Prove that I'm a girl …" Mu Wanjun was speechless. Jin Yulie had only said that she would bring him here with her wherever she wanted, she did not say anything else. Now that Chunyu Hong had asked her this question, she did not seem to be able to say anything anymore. She simply glared at Jin Yulie with her eyes.

Jin Yulie was exceptionally cold, but he gave Chunyu Hong a profound look, and said: "Isn't this also a trap you wanted to set up? I was just returning the pieces to you in advance. "

Mu Wanjun never thought that Jin Yulie would say such a thing. Other than that, she simply could not understand or guess what either. However, speaking like this didn't seem to give the emperor much face. Could they even get out of here that easily?

Chunyu Hong was not angry, but laughed.

"This is not a trap set up by us, we are just playing it by ear." "But I've already lost and played chess. I'm afraid it's not good for you to just quit."

They seemed to be speaking Chinese, but why couldn't they understand a single word? But Mu Wanjun felt that the matter wasn't that simple.

"Since Your Majesty wants to play chess, this humble subject naturally has to accompany you. However, I'm afraid that Your Majesty's chess pieces are too valuable, and I can't bear to part with them."

"If you have the ability then use it. This chess piece is not afraid of being sacrificed, it's only something you've promised. But don't forget, if you want to enter the game, that will depend on how much you still have and if you're qualified."

"Thank you for your consent, Your Majesty!" "Jin Yulie cupped his fists and said, his eyes flashed with a strange luster. However, whether it is success or failure, the king has his own scruples, and this subject also has them. " As he spoke, he cast his gaze towards Mu Wanjun.

Chunyu Hong understood, but the gaze in Mu Wanjun's eyes made Mu Wanjun feel as if she did not have any privacy in front of him. The feeling that he understood everything made her heart tremble for no reason. Her instincts told her to stay away from Chunyu Hong.

Imperial Palace was definitely her taboo!

Wherever he saw the Son of Heaven, his heart was trembling violently, and his body was even more so.

All of a sudden, he plopped to his knees, his whole body trembling. The whites of his eyes rolled over as foam came out from his mouth.

"He's addicted to drugs!" Mu Wanjun said as she took out a pill from the Storage Ring and placed it into the water bottle beside him.

"This lowly one will use all of his techniques!"
