Lord, don't leave your husband

Chapter 9 Once Became "Mr. Meixie" (2)
Their young master has a fiery temper, and he can't bear the slightest loss. Now he can only adapt to the situation and follow him every step of the way.

When they came to the door of the charcoal house, the guard's servant just wanted a warrant, but Mu Qingfeng kicked him somersault, grabbed the key and went to open the door.

The door lock is a bit slippery, just turned to the position where it should be opened, and it got stuck for some reason, and the servants on the side laughed apologetically:
"My lord, the door lock is a little rusty. Maybe it's been snowing heavily for the past two days, and the humidity has entered. Slowly turn around..." Mu Qingfeng pushed him away, and he waited impatiently, and raised his foot. With a bang, the door was kicked open.

After all, the charcoal house is not a prison cell, and no one will put more effort into the defense of the charcoal house, because there is nothing to steal, let alone the Taishi Mansion, which has almost no possibility of being stolen, so this door is actually relatively fragile. Strict to him who is mainly guarded around.Mu Qingfeng had a bit of kung fu, he kicked it hard, and Lai San couldn't stand the tar that was on it, so he drove away immediately.

I saw Lai San turned around and was about to dive into the firewood pile, holding the bundle of ropes that bound his hands and hadn't wrapped them up yet.

Seeing Mu Qingfeng rushing in, knowing that he had discovered him, Lai San scratched his head in embarrassment, and pointed to the pile of firewood that held him: "This... is actually pretty good inside, quite sheltered from the wind, do you want to try it?"

"Gu Ziqi! See for yourself!" Mu Qingfeng was furious.

Gu Ziqi yelled, "Protect Young Master!" and rushed in with his people. Before leaving, he winked at the door, signaling to the guards who stayed at the door that if the situation got out of control, he should go find someone to calm him down.

In the room, Mu Qingfeng had already grabbed Lai San by the collar, threw him backwards, and threw him on the pile of firewood.Lai San had already hollowed out the pile of firewood for pure decoration and fell down.

"Murder! Mr. Taishi killed!" Lai San screamed, scratching his neck, and ran all over the room at the same time.He had been walking in the charcoal house for seven consecutive days, and he was very familiar with the terrain, so Mu Qingfeng couldn't catch up with him for a while.

"My lord! My lord!" Gu Ziqi yelled hastily, "No. My lord strictly orders that no one should hurt himself privately.
He, wait until things are clarified..."

This incident was very strange, and a sense of crisis that I had never felt before came to my heart.He desperately wanted to know why he was arrested, so that he could have a plan to deal with it.He kept yelling at Mu Qingfeng some words that made him feel ashamed. What he did was actually a kind of cunning of a small person. According to the experience gained from frequent quarrels, when he was so angry that he was dizzy, he would often blurt out something. Words that would not be spoken after careful consideration.

Sure enough, Mu Qingfeng was used to being arrogant, and he was not a thoughtful person before, so he immediately shouted: "You still want to be punished? Wait for a thousand cuts!"

"What?" Lai San said, holding back the fear in his heart.

"Stop pretending." Mu Qingfeng sneered, "You know what you have done yourself. You, a lowly person like you, offended the princess. The princess is pregnant. You are dead under the peony flower, and you are a ghost. !"

"The princess is pregnant?" Lai San was stunned for a moment, then let out a long sigh of relief, his legs were limp, he sat down on the ground, patted his chest and said, "This is a misunderstanding! A big misunderstanding!"

After Lai San took a breath, his expression was completely relaxed, and his nerves that had been tense for the past few days relaxed, which made him sweat profusely in winter: "I was talking nonsense for my life, and I just said it in passing! Really, you guys Seriously, make such a big battle."

"Hmph, the medical officer has already seen it!" Mu Qingfeng snorted coldly, and said slowly, "Congratulations, the princess is indeed pregnant!"

"What?" Lai San jumped up from the ground and said in shock, "Really? Impossible!" His whole face was full of shock, the daughter of the prince's family is not honest?This is really a big gossip!But after thinking about it, his face turned pale.

"Who did this? You don't suspect me, do you? But absolutely not, it's definitely not me! Absolutely not! I've always been innocent, guarding myself like a jade, and I didn't do anything!"

"Didn't do it? If you didn't do it, how would you know that the princess is pregnant?" Mu Qingfeng just sneered.

"I just said it casually, completely casually!" Lai San broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that this is not good, and tried his best to explain.

"Whoever wants to be this cheap old man!" Lai San shook his head desperately, "Anyway, I didn't do anything, I can swear to God!"

"Hmph, you can tell Lord Yan about this, and see if he believes it or not!"

Lai San's face was ashen, he knew that Lord Yan must believe him, but the problem was that he didn't want to see Lord Yan.No matter how much he shouted, it was all in vain.

The inner house of the Taishi Mansion, the confidential study room, is the most important and confidential area of ​​the Taishi Mansion. Even the guards at the gate have to leave fifty steps away. Eavesdropping on Master Taishi’s conversation is an absolute death penalty. Back then, even Mu Yan All of Ling's favored concubines died as a result.

In the study, Mu Yanling rubbed the center of his brows, a scribe who looked about 30 years old was sitting opposite him, his brows were tightly furrowed.

"Wen Zhen, do you think the imperial court will withdraw the domain immediately?" Even though there was no one around, Mu Yanling asked his confidant Zhou Wenzhen in a low voice.

Zhou Wenji cupped his hands: "Your Excellency, don't worry too much. The imperial court's army from the north will not come back for a year or so. The barbarians on our side have changed again. They just killed him, one of the most powerful vassal princes in the Daxing Dynasty. If the imperial court Withdrawing the feudal clan at this juncture, who can repel the barbarians and ensure the safety of the three Dingxi provinces?"

"Well, I hope so. Compared with the strength of the three western provinces, the imperial court won't win much. If the imperial court is given three or two years to calm down, the feudal clan will dare to try to make a move. Now, as long as the emperor is not too self-willed , this domain is still safe."

"My lord's trick is really wonderful! The timing is just right!" Zhou Wenzhen said, "Originally, the king of Dingxi lost his heir, which was an excellent excuse to withdraw from the feudal domain! It is logical! But the little princess is pregnant at this time, and all of us in Dingxi are civil and military. He strongly supported the heirs of the princess to inherit the throne. The imperial court could not afford to do anything now, so they had to confer the throne on the son of the princess. After two or three years, the daughter of the princess was two years old. After recuperating, he can free up his hands, but he has already promised before, but it is not easy to talk about the issue of blood. With no excuses and equal strength, he can no longer think about withdrawing from the feudal clan."

"Is there anything wrong with the medical officer?"

"Don't worry, my lord. I've told Xiao Yizhen to pretend to be drunk to spread the news that the little princess has diagnosed a happy pulse. He has a clue in my hands, so I dare not talk nonsense! If your lord is worried that it's not safe enough, you can make him accidentally... "

"Don't do it for the time being." Mu Yanling said, "It takes ten months of pregnancy to ask for pulse non-stop, and there are still many things to cover up. The little princess will not cooperate now, and it will be less troublesome for him to take care of it alone."

"Yes! My lord is still thinking carefully!"

"The newly pregnant woman that my lord ordered last time has also been found, but her husband's appearance is somewhat similar to the old prince's. Presumably the child will be somewhat similar to the princess."

"It doesn't matter what looks like, children can't see anything. You should pay attention secretly and lock up a few more, so that the baby is not born as a boy. This matter must be kept secret!"

"Yes, the villain understands it. But the news that the princess is pregnant has been spread secretly, but who is the biological father of the child?"

Mu Yanling raised his eyes slightly and said, "Isn't there a ready-made one! It's perfect!"

Zhou Wenzhen was taken aback and said, "He? My lord, this is not right! The princess is the future prince, and his biological father will surely be a high-ranking man. How can he be such a person? My lord, this position is very important, why not let the eldest son ..."

"I would like to, but Qingfeng's success is more than failure! He can't do it! Don't cause trouble for him!" Mu Yanling frowned, "It's better to find someone from our own, but the timing and encounters are different." I'm sorry! The little princess is in my house now, and I want to find someone with a lower status for her. What will others say about me? Higher status, each has its own power, how can it be with me? This person is not the case, he The timing of his appearance is just right, and it’s not my business! Moreover, this person has no foundation and is easy to control, so he is a very suitable candidate.”

"But my lord!" Zhou Wenzhen said anxiously, "We have been planning for nearly eight years. Could it be that he has been taken advantage of?"

"However, we only need a look in the past two years. Once the throne is firmly established, he won't be needed! Wen Zhen, hold your breath!" Zhou Wenzhen felt a little chilled in his heart, and quickly lowered his head to hide his emotions, and said, "Yes."

"Alas!" Mu Yanling sighed, "If God blesses all is well, the throne must belong to him, why bother with such an unexpected incident?"

It has been so long, and the initial shock and anger gradually subsided, but when Tianyou was mentioned, he still regretted it very much.

After talking in the study for a long time, the two walked out of the study one after the other and walked to the corridor. Zhou Wenzhen stepped on the ice surface of the small pond first.If it is summer, here is an approach bridge, which is made of old vines, with some young leaves inserted on it, and it can be crossed in three small steps, taking its wildness.Because the water in the pool has been frozen in winter, it can bear the weight of people, so the bridge will be taken back to the warehouse, and it will be erected when it is hydrated next year.

As soon as Zhou Wenzhen took a step on the ice, Mu Yanling heard Zhou Wenzhen yell, and when he turned around, he was gone.There was a black hole on the surface of the pool under his feet, and there was a trace of water on the edge.

The cry was very short, as if a syllable had just been uttered from the throat, and before it rushed out of the throat, it was held back abruptly, so it seemed very strange.

If ordinary people saw this scene, they would be eager to step forward to check it out, but Mu Yanling did not advance but retreated, and said loudly:

"Come on!"

With this loud shout, the scattered guards approached one after another, quickly forming a circle, and Mu Yanling retreated a few steps into the circle, as if an iron wall had been cast in an instant.

"Go and see how Mr. Zhou is doing!" Mu Yanling pointed to the ice in the distance.

Several guards stepped forward quickly and looked at the breach in the ice, but did not see anyone, but another guard suddenly screamed.It turned out that he was standing on the ice about ten steps away from the breach, and accidentally looked down, only to see Zhou Wen's eyes wide open, his face distorted, and a thin streak of blood on his neck through the transparent ice layer. A strand of bright red was drawn from his neck, swaying slightly, frozen in the icy water and not scattered.

A sword seals the throat!
The guards smashed through the ice and dragged Zhou Wenzhen's body out, all silent.The majestic Taishi's mansion unexpectedly let assassins sneak in, and all the guards on duty today couldn't escape.

Mu Yanling's complexion was extremely ugly, especially after seeing Zhou Wenzhen's cloak and hood.The cloak covered most of him, and the hood was huge, if one didn't look at it from the front, it was impossible to tell who it was.But the crane embroidered on the cloak was something that only he, the Taishi, could wear. Just now he was afraid that Zhou Wenzhen would be exposed to the cold, so he put his cloak hood on for him.Now it seems that the assassin's real target is very likely to be himself, and Zhou Wenji has reflected Chi Yu.

Mu Yanling waited with a livid face, and the guards spread out to look around. The pool was empty and colder, and everyone's brain hurt from the cold.All the guards searched with all their strength on the ice surface. If there seemed to be a mass of black under the transparent crystal-like pool, all the guards smashed the ice surface with all their strength. Unfortunately, what was underwater was either stones or flower roots, and there was even a splinter by chance The larger hibernating fish will be opened by the guards with one out of ten thousand hopes, but they find nothing.

Let's talk about the charcoal room, the sad Gu Ziqi didn't know that it was not the right time for him to skip work, and his attention was still on Mu Qingfeng and Lai San.

Mu Yanling specifically ordered Lai San to be locked up, but he didn't explain to him why Lai San was kept.Of course, how could he say such a thing to a captain of his guard?However, this kind of attitude made Gu Ziqi greatly reduce the importance he attached to Lai San, thinking that this person was like an ant, irrelevant, otherwise he wouldn't have come up with a bad move just to please Mu Qingfeng.

"Captain! Captain!" The door was suddenly opened, and a guard stumbled in, "Captain is not well, hurry back, your lord is assassinated!"

"What?" Mu Qingfeng was startled, "How is my father?" He left Lai San and rushed over to grab the guard's neck, and shouted anxiously, "Is my father alright?"

"The villain doesn't know. If something happened, he immediately rushed to find the captain. The assassin hasn't been found yet!"

"My lord, let's go!" Gu Ziqi shouted.

"Oh, okay." Mu Qingfeng also panicked, he didn't care about Lai San, so he hurried out and left.In his impatience, he walked ahead of Gu Ziqi instead.

Gu Ziqi took a step behind, and whispered to the guard: "I told you to find an excuse to coax the young master out when you see the situation is not good. What are you saying is not good, and you dare to say that the lord was assassinated! You cheated him at this time. How to explain?"

"Captain!" The guard was crying, "I didn't make it up, my lord was really assassinated!"

"Ah?" Gu Ziqi's complexion changed drastically.

"Captain, don't stop, talk while walking! Hurry up! Something big happened!"

"Follow me!" Gu Ziqi sternly ordered the guards. In a hurry, he grabbed the messenger and flew forward with lightness kung fu. After a few ups and downs, he left Mu Qingfeng behind.I don't care about any etiquette.

A group of people walked away in a hurry, and Lai San grinned and got up from the ground, still dizzy.

A series of things were going in circles in front of his eyes like a lantern, and this time even he knew that something was really bad.The princess is pregnant, and judging by Mu Qingfeng's appearance just now, it's probably not him who did it.Then the only person who has time, motivation, and conditions... seems to be himself.

Wrong!Lai San wants to cry but has no tears. You said it would be fine if he took a mouthful of good mutton. The problem is that his saliva is already dripping all over the floor, but he really didn't finish his mouth!

If I had known this, I might as well take a bite!Lai San thought, this is too bad luck!Which bastard took advantage of the world, but let himself bear the big black pot!

After thinking about it for a long time, he has already decided that this is a scapegoat. After the incident where someone almost chopped off his hand last time, he knew that those lovers in the play will eventually get married is pure nonsense!If you can be a son-in-law with the princess, the sixth-rank official brother just now has decided that he has already grown up, not only blooming, but also bearing fruit, which is a step further than that, he should accept the head and worship, and Not ready to roast yourself!
Although he may not have an appetite for real food, but looking at the ready-made equipment in the room, it is ready-made to light the sky lantern with a light on the roll.

Therefore, Mr. Lai decided not to accompany him, and he began to tidy up the charcoal house for Taishi Mansion.

Otherwise, the charcoal house is actually not suitable for confinement, because there are too many things in it.I saw piles of peat (that is, coal), various charcoal, firewood of various lengths, small pieces of wood shavings for heat gathering, hay, kindling paper, quenching oil, etc. neatly arranged, and charcoal alone was divided into black charcoal, White charcoal, silver cream, lotus fragrance, porous and so on.All the bags are written with labels and piled up like hills in order.

Lai San uses a solid peat pile as the foundation, piles firewood, and puts bags of charcoal on it. The porous charcoal that is fragile and deformable is not required, and black charcoal and silver frost that are fine and firm in texture are required.He worked so hard that he quickly built up to the same height as him.

When he was helping out, he also worked as a house builder, and he was very reliable in doing it.

Those who have been thieves will have a lofty vision of not thinking about success and first thinking about failure. On the first day of being locked up, Lai San felt that the rope was very useful, so he used it.He tied one end of the rope with a palm-sized piece of black charcoal, aimed at the beam several times and finally threw it up.

Lai Sanxi was overjoyed, tried the strength of the rope, but luckily he could hold himself back, spit into the palm of his hand, and started to climb.

He was tossing around like this inside, but there was no sound outside. Lai San didn't know that it was because Mu Yanling was assassinated, and the guards all turned around in a panic, thinking that the ambush he set a few days ago was useful.

In fact, he has been thinking about this escape method for a few days, and the whole process is quite mature. A few days ago, he deliberately cursed people loudly and tossed around in the room, thinking that when he had a chance to escape, it would not be too irritating to make noise inside. people pay attention.So, today he was throwing and cursing at the same time. The content of the scolding was nothing special. After all, the third master was focused on escaping at the moment, and the two curses at intervals were just to cover up his voice, so it was difficult to come up with any wonderful words.
