"Female? Have you seen her? " Hearing her words, Xue Ruoyun paid extra attention to her.
This was because she had stayed in the house for quite a long time. Other than a few mama, she had never seen this matron. Vaguely, she always felt that there was a connection, but for a moment she couldn't tell what it was. She frowned and fell into deep thought.
"Elder sister, did you think of something?" The Holy Maiden asked.
"Shh, don't disturb her." Leng Yue hurriedly stopped him. She knew that Xue Muyun's habit was to clear up the thoughts in his head.
Everyone quieted down and looked at Xue Ruyun.
She was paying attention to all the stewards in the room. Why hadn't she seen this person before? She remembered that when they had escaped from the stone door, all of the stewards had been in pursuit, and she hadn't heard that it was a woman. Furthermore, during the time when the Holy Maiden authorized the order, he did not find out which one was the female. Even if you couldn't see their faces, you could tell from their voices and their figures.
Could it be that this person was intentionally avoiding him?
If she was deliberately avoiding him, then why? Could it be that he knew this person? Who could it be?
"Could it be her? "No, that's impossible." A person had suddenly appeared in Xue Luoyun's mind, but she very quickly rejected this idea. It couldn't be her. She was just a weak girl, and she was powerless. How could she be the general director of the bronze masked man? One had to know that the Ghost-Masked Man inside were all powerful martial artists.
Moreover, they had only been here for a year, even if they had snuck in, it would be impossible for them to get the Ghost Face Man's attention so quickly. Furthermore, Xue Duan Sheng was the parent officer of this place. It was impossible for him to harm his own father, much less allow others to kill Xue Lian.
As a result, when Xue Luoyun thought of this, he once again felt that he could not understand it, so he could only deny it.
Mu Ying saw her using her hand to support her chin, and then half raising her head as she seriously considered the situation. She was very well-behaved. Even he was mesmerized by what he saw.
Only then did she recover her wits. When she saw that everyone was staring at her, she curiously asked, "Why are you all looking at me?"
"Nothing, have you thought of something?" Mu Ying smiled lovingly.
"Not yet." Xue Luoyun shook his head.
"Then let's continue drinking and think at the same time." Leng Yue raised her head to drink another cup of wine. It had been a long time since she last drank to her heart's content. When it came to drinking, Mu Zhuo's figure appeared in his mind for some reason. The palace was in a state of constant open and covert strife. It was unknown how things were going on with him.
"This time I still need to thank the two genius doctors. With you two helping out one after another, there's no way that Mu Sheng can repay you for saving him." Mu Ying poured a cup full of wine and offered it to the two Godly Doctors.
"Your highness has really brought down the two of us. We are your subordinates, so it is only right that we serve you. " Bian Xi said politely.
"There's also the Holy Maiden. I heard from Wei Ming that it was all thanks to you offering the Heaven's Silkworm Silk in time that I was saved." Mu Ying poured another cup of Holy Maiden.
"Speaking of which, the situation at that time was also very critical. I didn't expect that at such a critical moment, the needle and thread would be taken away by someone, almost harming the Prince." Bian Xi said.
"What?" "There is such a thing." Only now did Xue Ruoyun realize that there was actually such a passage behind Mu Sheng's back.
"This matter is still your fault your subordinate's guard was not strong enough, please punish me, your highness." Wei Ming quickly kneeled down and asked for punishment.
"I didn't mean it that way. Get up quickly." Seeing Wei Ming kneel down and beg for forgiveness, Xue Luoyun hurriedly explained.
"Get up." This matter wasn't his fault.
"What I mean is that you have always been the most strict and prudent person. How did something like this happen?" Xue Luoyun asked.
"Actually, even this subordinate still doesn't understand, just what is going on?" Wei Ming stood up.
"Quickly tell me the details of the situation." Xue Ruyun could faintly feel that there was something wrong with it. She had suspected that the real traitor had not been caught. She even suspected that Xue Shaoli was still alive at the time. However, Xue Shaoli was also captured by the Ghost-Masked Man, so she didn't continue investigating.
Now that this had happened, he could use it to think things over.
"It was noon, we..." Wei Ming recalled.
"That is to say, other than Xue Shaoli, you haven't seen anyone else come here?" When Xue Ruoyun heard this, he once again began to doubt Xue Shaori.
"Yeah, but she never left my sight throughout the entire process. She didn't have the time to make a move." Wei Ming shook his head.
Xue Ruyun thought for a moment, then shook her head. "You're wrong about that. She doesn't want to do it by herself. Perhaps she is just protecting the others."
With a few words, he awakened the dreamer. The matter that Wei Ming hadn't thought through for the past few days was finally answered by Xue Ruoyun.
"So that's how it is. This damned woman, I'll go find her now and settle the score." Wei Ming held his sword and was about to leave.
"Come back." Mu Yong said in a low voice.
"Yes." Wei Ming didn't dare to disobey and walked back with his head lowered.
"If you go now, the evidence would have long been destroyed by her. She wouldn't even admit to it, and she might even bite back." Xue Luoyun said. She knew Xue Shaoli too well.
"This woman is the most insidious. Now that I think about it, I think that the Prince was also poisoned by her." Bian Xi stroked his beard as he spoke.
"How so?" Mu Ying was shocked.
"At that time, Your Highness had just woken up and couldn't take any provocation. Your Highness didn't even know that Miss Xue was in danger." But she deliberately told me to use this to provoke the prince, and to drive his cultivation berserk. "
"That bitch!" Mu Yong clenched his fists.
"Right, I also feel that she is not a good person. That day, when the entrance of the stone cave descended, more than half of my body had already been exposed, but she forcefully pulled me back, causing big sister Mo Yun to be captured in order to save me. " When the Holy Maiden heard them speak, she also expressed her opinion.
"She pulled you in?" Upon hearing the Holy Maiden say this, Xue Luoyun found it hard to believe.
"Yes." The Holy Maiden nodded.
"It looks like Xue Shaoli and the Ghost-Masked Man are on the same team." After hearing what everyone had said, Xue Luoyun speculated.
Hearing this conjecture, everyone's eyes widened. They knew Xue Shaoli wasn't a good person, but they never expected her to be in cahoots with the Ghost-Masked Man, a powerful organization.
Listen to me, my conjecture is as follows: 1. Earlier, there was an insider colluding with the Ghost-masked man in the magistrate court, but we managed to catch the willow branch. Liu Xu was Xue Shaoli's maidservant, so Liu Xu could be a scapegoat. The real traitor was Xue Shaoli.
2. The underground city is heavily guarded and the Ghost-Masked Man is extremely smart. How could Xue Shaoli escape so easily? Unless she was in cahoots with the Ghost-Masked Man.
Third, the reason why she repeatedly tried to kill Mu Sheng was to stop him from waking up. She wanted to report this matter to the Emperor in order to prevent the matter from being exposed. Furthermore, the various signs that you all mentioned are enough to prove that she has been colluding with the bronze masked man, she is a chess piece the bronze masked man inserted into the county magistrate court.
After hearing Xue Ruyun's analysis, everyone nodded their heads. They didn't expect her to be so bold, but what benefits did this bring her? No one could figure it out, because they didn't know the relationship between Xue Shaoli and Mu Lingfeng.
"I never thought that there would be such a terrifying person by our side. Now that I think about it, luckily we chose to live in the underground city. If we were to live in the county magistrate court, perhaps we would have been harmed by her." The Holy Maiden rejoiced.
"She actually dared to harm Mu and win again and again. I will definitely get my revenge." Xue Ruyun thought about how Xue Shaolei had caused Mu Ying such a mess and decided that he definitely wouldn't let her off.
"Since she's a fish out of the net, I'll capture her tomorrow and have her properly explain the mastermind behind this." The cold moon closed its folding fan as it angrily said.
"Achoo!" Xue Shaoli was in her room reading Mu Lingfeng's letter when she suddenly felt a chill and sneezed.
She vigilantly looked around her surroundings. The doors and windows were all tightly shut. Where did the cold wind come from? When Xue Shaoli thought of this, she could not help but feel guilty. Xue Shaoli brought the lamp closer and covered the light with her hand. Warming her hand, she continued to read Mu Lingfeng's letter.
Mu Lingfeng did not expect that Leng Yue would arrive at Qing Shui County so quickly. All of this took him by surprise.
In addition, that so-called Holy Maiden that he had previously ignored actually had such a great influence and brought so many reinforcements. Xue Shaoli, who had always been the most scheming, had actually failed to kill the prince. This series of accidents caused all of his underground cities to be destroyed.
When Mu Lingfeng received the news, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. This was something that he had painstakingly done for so many years. It was the solid backing of his grand plan in the future. Just like that, it was destroyed by Xue Ruyun and Mu Wenshu.
He hated Mu Ying and Xue Ruyun to the extreme. These two people were the nemesis of his life. Everything was going against him. Mu Lingfeng swore that he would definitely eradicate them.
The bribed officials were arrested, Zheng Ziyi demoted, and Eunuch Wei was demoted. Now that the underground city had been destroyed, Mu Lingfeng received an unprecedented blow.
Xue Shaoli knew Mu Lingfeng's feelings. When he saw the letter filled with complaints, Xue Shaoli also felt that it was his fault for not being able to do things properly, and he blamed it all on Xue Ruoyun and the rest.
Just like Xue Shaoli, Zheng Ziyi's heart ached when she learned of this. In the basement, she saw Mu Lingfeng getting drunk and constantly scolding the heavens for being unfair. He had just succeeded, yet he was already ruthlessly kicked down.
Mu Lingfeng drank a lot of wine and his clothes were all soaked. After cursing for a while, she started crying like a child in Zheng Ziyi's arms. Zheng Ziyi hugged him. Seeing this insufferable man being so helpless, she felt an incomparable heartache.
"Third Prince, you must pull yourself together. Since ancient times, the victor has always been the king, and the loser has always been the bandit. Right now, the throne is still there. Mu Lingfeng is only the crown prince, we still have a chance. " Zheng Ziyi consoled him.
"What chance do we have? We don't have the money and we don't have our own army." Even the Ghost-Masked people that have been carefully trained for so many years have all been killed … " Mu Lingfeng felt despair.
