C88

This meant that the people behind the Consort Xian were going to rebel.

Now, Mu Zi Huan finally understood why a man said that he had blocked their plans.

Could it be because when she told Shen Zhiqiu to investigate the forces behind the Consort Xian, he exposed himself?

But if that was really the case, then Shen Zhiqiu had actually come to pay him a farewell before he left today.

"Can you see it clearly?"

Suddenly, a mocking voice came from behind him. Mu Zhihuan was frightened, she turned around and saw that it was all over.

He saw a black clothed man standing with his hands behind his back. A faint smile hung on his aged face.

Mu Zhihuan's heart tightened, it's over, is she going to be silenced now?

But who would have thought that the man merely smiled and said, "Don't worry. Even if I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't let you live until now."

Mu Zhihuan muttered in her heart, under your roof, it would be strange if you could be at ease.

"Then... "In that case, I'll go to sleep … right?"

Pointing in the direction of her own room, just as Mu Zhihuan was about to scamper off, she was caught red-handed by someone by the collar:

"What are you running about for? You've already seen it, aren't you curious?"

Curiosity! However, the teacher had also said that curiosity would kill the cat, so Mu Zhihuan shook her head frantically. "It's just training bandits, what's there to be curious about?"

"You don't have to be so afraid of me."

Mu Zhihuan gave an ugly smile, "..."

Seeing Mu Zhihuan's awkward expression while blinking her eyes, the man laughed: "Young lady, you're quite interesting, I'll let you send me back."

Before leaving, Mu Zhihuan suddenly roared out: "If you want to capture me to threaten Jiang Zisu, I don't think it's necessary."

"Jiang Zisu doesn't care about me from the start. Even though he has been very good to me from the outside, his beloved concubine, Yang Qiuyu, is still his."

After selling out two teammates in one go, Mu Zhihuan did not blush at all as she panted for breath.

The man frowned slightly and looked at her: "Who told you that I captured you to threaten Jiang Zisu? How can a man delay his career for a woman? "

Mu Zhihuan pursed her lips, "..."

"Then you arrested me because I investigated you?"

At this point, Mu Zhihuan's act of acting or not did not hold much meaning anymore. With a state of mind that said even if sshe died, he should at least understand what it means to continue asking until the end.

But Feng Yu did not understand what Mu Zhihuan was thinking at all. He was still pondering about the girl, why did she suddenly become curious when she was the one who had been playing dumb ever since they entered the village?

"I must say that the person that you've invited to follow you is very smart. However, the only thing that he knows about is that he is too arrogant."

"He got the news from us and directly went to find you. Isn't he telling others who he is working for?"

Mu Zhihuan only wanted to support her forehead, this Shen Zhiqiu.

"However, that is not the only reason why we want to catch you. If we fail, even if we die, we would at least have to bear the burden."

Feng Yu's words made Mu Zhihuan's heart turn cold.

"You mean …" Am I the scapegoat? But it is simply impossible for Jiang Zisu to be a candidate for the throne. "

Before she finished speaking, Mu Zhihuan understood that Jiang Zisu was not his target, his target was the crown prince.

Even if their rebellion failed, they would drag the crown prince down with them. For something like the crown prince being a traitor, not to mention the huge blow to the emperor, even for the entire Great Wei, his heart would be in turmoil.

"It seems like Consort Xian's evaluation of you is not too bad. You're a little smart."

Mu Zhihuan felt a chill down her spine. She was not a righteous person, so she was not particularly concerned about whether the crown prince and Great Wei would be unstable.

She only felt a chill in her heart. Whether or not they succeeded in rebelling in the end, she had to die.

Now she finally understood why Feng Yu would allow him to wander around the village freely.

She didn't even take someone to guard her, because sooner or later, she would be a dead woman.

"I... "But I don't want her praise at all."

Mu Zhihuan regretted that shsheshould not have been so reckless. Before she had fully understood the situation in the Consort Xian, he had already left the capital and came to this kind of place.

Before she left, she even specially told Tuanzi that she was going for a few days, which meant that this time, she didn't have any additional support from Tuanzi.

By the time the people from Prince Lee's Mansion realized that she was missing, it would probably be too late.

He lay listless on the bed, smelling the sun that had dried on the mattress.

Just as Mu Zhihuan was having a headache, she suddenly felt the smell in the air, and something seemed to be amiss.

She suspiciously looked behind her and saw a white figure.

At that moment, Mu Zhihuan was both happy and afraid. She was shocked that she knew who that person was in an instant.

She was afraid that someone would appear behind her without making a sound, and her instincts caused her to feel goosebumps.

"You!" "Hm."

Just as he was about to say something, the faint aura of medicinal herbs from Gu Mingxuan's body enveloped him.

His mouth was also covered by a warm hand.

In his ears, he heard Gu Mingxuan's cold and hoarse voice, "Be quiet."

Mu Zhihuan vigorously nodded her head, before Gu Mingxuan finally let go of her:

"It seems that you are doing quite well here?"

Mu Zhihuan curled her lips, "No wonder, how did you find this place?"

"Since I told you to investigate the people you shouldn't, I naturally have to pay attention to your safety."

Hearing this, Mu Zhihuan felt moved, but after thinking about it for a moment, she felt that she had been tricked:

"Gu Mingxuan, you didn't do it on purpose, right?"

Gu Mingxuan declined to comment: "For this matter to directly be dealt with by me, it seems against the rules, so you can only do it yourself."

Mu Zhihuan was so angry that her eyelids jumped. "Then I have to thank you, right?"

Seeing that she was truly not lightly angered, Gu Mingxuan lifted the hem of his clothes and sat across her: "Do you think that if I were to come to this place, Feng Yu would be so relaxed and alert, so that I can see the training grounds?"

That was true, but she couldn't use him this way, could she?

Seeing the slightly moved expression on Mu Zhihuan's face, Gu Mingxuan seized the opportunity and chased after him, "Moreover, I've been protecting you in secret all this while. Otherwise, how do you think that with that bit of poison on your silver needle, you'd be able to cripple my arm?"

So that was how it was, she said that when Shen Zhiqiu gave this thing to her, he said that it was to protect himself.

However, if the man in the day wasn't dealt with in time, he would definitely lose his life.

"Then what should we do now?"

Now that she knew Gu Mingxuan was by her side, Mu Zhihuan didn't feel so flustered anymore.

"Notify the people below first." Wouldn't it be better if we colluded with outsiders and caught them in the act? "

Seeing Gu Mingxuan's casual look, Mu Zhihuan couldn't help but roll her eyes.
