"What are you doing? The King of Jin is here. Hurry to open the city gate!"
In the moonlight, the two shadows were lengthened outside the door.
When Xia Houmo and Zuowei returned to the capital from Wuzhen, the city gate had already been closed. It was closed half an hour earlier than usual.
"The King of Jin? Your Royal Highness, I'm so sorry. Some assassins are trying to assassinate His Majesty in the palace, and Second Prince is now searching for the assassins. In case of any accidents, His Majesty has ordered to blockade at the city gate and nobody is allowed to open it. We are just fulfilling our duty. Please don't put us into a dilemma." The imperial guard standing on the city wall shouted.
Xia Houmo's cold and dark eyes side were hidden in the darkness.
"The assassins entered the palace as soon as we left the city? Even if this is the case, we are not leaving the city but entering the city. How dare these gu
A fugitive... You still had the mood to cook soy sauce chicken... “Jin Mansion is in trouble now. Give me your most shabby clothes. I’m going out in a while.” “Miss, it’s too dangerous for you to go out alone.” “It’s okay. No one will notice a beggar at night.” Cheng Ran had no choice but to give his clothes to Su Muge. “Miss, let me send you over.” Thinking that there was a carriage in their yard, Su Muge nodded. “Send me to the street. Don’t get too close and lest you be found.” It was strange enough to drive a carriage on the street at night. “Okay.” “Well... Miss, those two men are...” Su Muge glanced at the two in the room. “Don’t worry about them.” After eating the chickens, the two would definitely leave. “I’ll go to prepare the carriage.” “Okay.” Su Muge changed into the men’s suit,
“Before my innocence can be proved, I will stop attending the morning court and stay in my mansion.” Xia Hourui picked up the phoenix token on the table and played it casually in his hand. “You said that Kun’er found the evidence of your collusion with Xia Housheng. Why didn’t he enter the palace and report to me immediately?” “When I returned to Jin Mansion, Second Brother had already left.” Xia Hourui snorted. He was apparently dissatisfied that Xia Houkun didn’t enter the palace immediately. Xia Houmo raised his eyebrows slightly. “Perhaps Second Brother is afraid of disturbing your rest.” Xia Hourui put the phoenix token back on the table and looked at Xia Houmo with his dim eyes. “I’ll investigate this matter. Rest assured. If you are really wronged, I will definitely prove your innocence.” Xia Hourui acquiesced in what Xia Houmo said just now. “Thank you, father.”
Early the next morning, in the imperial court. Xia Houkun, standing in the hall, looked towards Xia Houmo’s position and found it empty. Xia Houkun was still wearing a wound on his face. As he turned to look at Xia Houmo’s position, he found him absent. “Your Royal Highness, what’s the matter with you?” A minister familiar with Xia Houkun looked at the wound on his face and asked him with concern. Xia Houkun revealed a flicker of anger in his eyes but replied, “I accidentally fell off from the horse last night.” Of course, he would not make it known to anyone that he had been beaten up by Xia Houmo! The minister suddenly realized something. “Your Royal Highness, be careful.” “Okay.” “His Majesty is here.” Before Xia Houkun could figure out what the minister meant, Xia Hourui, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, was helped by Eunuch Yi to enter the main hall.
As soon as he left the morning court, Xia Hourui ordered to send the people of the King of Jin held in prison back to the Jin Mansion and to keep under detention. Without permission, no one could leave the Jin Mansion. In the Jin Mansion. Xia Houmo didn’t need to attend the morning court from now on. In the early morning, he was lying on the bed with Su Muge in his arms. He refused to let her go until Su Muge was a little annoyed. And then the two got up. Because the people held in prison had not been sent back yet, there was not even a maid in the mansion except for the secret guards. Su Muge got up from the bed and reached for the clothes on the screen. Before she could reach out, Xia Houmo hugged her from behind and took her back to the bed. Su Muge gritted her teeth and slightly patted his chest. “Your Royal Highness, it’s almost noon!” Xia Houmo turned his head and bit her soft ears gently. “Let
Liu Rumeng was beaten and stumbled to the ground. She was stunned to look at little Xue with a ferocious face. “You are such a vicious woman with a malicious mind!” Little Xue completely disregarded Liu Rumeng’s life and death and scratched Liu Rumeng’s face with her sharp nails. “Ah ... Little Xue, what are you doing! Stop!” Su Muge waved her hand, and Yueru and other maids stepped forward to pull little Xue away from Liu Rumeng. “Your Grace, you must believe me. I really don’t know anything. The cloak is made by me indeed, but Liu Rumeng wanted to see if I have made it well after seeing it. So she took it to her room that night. I am really innocent ...” Little Xue knelt down and cried to Su Muge as soon as she was pulled away. There were several red and swollen scratches on Liu Rumeng’s face and neck, and she felt so painful on her face. She sat up with her arms supported on the ground, and her originally soft
Outside the capital, a large group of people slowly moved towards the city gate. As the queue approached the city gate, the imperial guards stopped them. “Who are you?” The leading person moved forward on his horse and took out a red gold token. “This is the team of honor guards of King Nanyang. Hurry to step aside quickly.” “King Nanyang.” Seeing this, the captain of the gatekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to salute. “Pay my respects to you, Your Royal Highness.” There was a lazy voice in the carriage where King Nanyang was. “I have to enter the palace to meet His Majesty. Hurry to give way.” “Yes.” The Imperial Guards gave way to let the team march into the city. The Emperor was in the Imperial Study. A palace maid walked quickly out of the door and whispered something in Eunuch Yi’s ear. Eunuch Yi nodded and turne
In the study, Xia Houmo was checking the messages from the spies. Zuowei strode to outside the gate of the study. “Your Royal Highness, King Nanyang broke into the mansion.” King Nanyang was making troubles outside the gate of the mansion, which certainly couldn’t be concealed from the people in the Jin Mansion. Xia Houmo stopped and raised his head. “He has already come in?” “Yes, the guards couldn’t stop him.” “Nephew, my dear nephew.” As soon as Xia Houmo finished his words, he heard King Nanyang’s voice outside the door. Zuowei looked at King Nanyang speechlessly and reached out to stop him when King Nanyang was about to rush into the study. “Your Royal Highness, His Royal Highness ...” “Is His Royal Highness inside?” “Zuowei, let him in.” Xia Houmo’s voice came out of the study. King Nanyang glanced at Zuowei and
In the main hall of the Imperial Palace. Xia Hourui was sitting on the dragon throne, with several trusted ministers standing nearby in the hall. “Recently, the King of Jin has been staying in his mansion obediently. Jing Zhaoyin, how’s the investigation going?” Xia Hourui had appointed Jing Zhaoyin to investigate the case of Xia Houmo colluding with King Dingxi. Jing Zhaoyin who was standing in the hall wished he could become invisible. How could he investigate this case? He couldn’t do anything at all, could he?! At that time, Second Prince led his men to search Jin Mansion and discovered the letter of collusion between the King of Jin and King Dingxi. That was irrefutable evidence. What else could he do?! In fact, it mainly depended on the Emperor. Jing Zhaoyin just had to do what the Emperor wanted. However, he didn’t know what the Emperor was thinking. “Your Majesty, after investig
