Mu Jingrui took Shangguan Wanning to an inconspicuous house and hugged her and climbed over the wall.
Immediately someone came up to me.
"Mr.
Mu Jingrui just nodded slightly and led Shangguan Wanning to the room in the backyard.
"You live here for the time being and someone will take care of your diet and daily life."
Shangguan Wanning looked at it and found that the room looked very simple, but her heart was always vaguely uneasy in a completely unfamiliar environment.
"Then my parents and the others..."
"Your father is the leader of all officials. With his power in the court, there will be no trouble for the time being. As long as it is found that Shangguan Xiaoxiao's miscarriage has nothing to do with your mother, this matter will naturally pass."
Mu Jingrui said it lightly, only Shangguan Wanning knew that it was not easy to do it.
"I'm going to see His Royal Highness the Prince now. You have a good rest. I'll come to see you later. By the way, I'll ask you about your parents' situation."
"Wait a moment."
Shangguan Wanning looked at Mu Jingrui's back as he turned around, and wanted to speak but stopped.
Mu Jingrui turned his head to look at her again. There seemed to be...
Reluctant to leave?
"What's the matter?" Mu Jingrui looked at Shangguan Wanning calmly. He wanted to go up and hug her.
Shangguan Wanning hesitated for a long time and said slowly: "Can you... do me another favor?"
"explain."
"Help me find Lu Tong. That silly girl, if I can't go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I'm afraid... she won't even know if she's sold."
Mu Jingrui's brow frowned slightly, revealing a complicated expression.
He originally thought Shangguan Wanning would say something to him for comfort, but who knew it was for Lutong.
"good."
This time, Mu Jingrui left without looking back.
When he came to the prince's mansion, Xiao Yujue had been waiting for a long time. When he entered, there were still several confidant court officials who seemed to be discussing something and were frowning.
"Here you come." Xiao Yujue signaled the maid to give Mu Jingrui a cup of tea, "Have you heard about Lord Shangguan?"
Mu Jingrui nodded slightly.
"Mr. Mu, fortunately you did not marry the eldest lady of the Shangguan family, otherwise you might have been implicated at this time."
Mu Jingrui was a little despised by this kind of self-protection remark, so he did not follow up.
"Thank you all for your hard work, go back and rest first. In short, within your authority, try to protect Shangguan Yue."
Xiao Yujue sent away the others, leaving only him and Mu Jingrui in the study.
"Your Highness, Lord Shangguan has been an official in the court for many years, and his power is deeply rooted. Logically speaking, he has not been interrogated yet and should not be jailed by the whole family. Is there any other hidden information?"
Mu Jingrui was thinking about this all the way.
"Jing Rui, have you heard of Ling Ruiying?"
Mu Jingrui was stunned, with a little more confusion and worry in his eyes.
"Your Highness is referring to the Southeast Jiedushi?"
Xiao Yujue nodded silently.
"If I remember correctly, Ling Ruiying and your father should be in the same martial arts ceremony, and their life will take about the same time. Although the Ling family's power in the court was intricate and his rise was so fast that he received the assistance of the family,
We cannot deny that he is indeed a talent.”
Mu Jingrui did not object to this point.
He heard his father say more than once that Ling Ruiying can maintain his country through literature and Wu can establish his country through literature.
"The Ling family's power in the court has lasted for a long time. In addition to the men of the Ling family making achievements, the women of the Ling family also make an indelible contribution. The empress dowager is a member of the Ling family and the queen is also a member of the Ling family. They marry Ling Zhiru into the royal family, and their purpose is to be said without saying
metaphor.”
Xiao Yujue rejected Ling Zhiru in order to marry Mu Jingyan, but in fact he refused the support of the Ling family.
"Jing Rui, I think you should know that Xiao Zhenting has won over Shangguan Yue more than once. As the prime minister, he has a huge force in the court. However, even if he married Shangguan Xiaoxiao, Shangguan Yue did not stand up.
On his side.”
Mu Jingrui nodded.
"I also guessed that the Prime Minister was seized so quickly, and the King of Qin must have put in a lot of effort in secret. But... would they be a little anxious? After all, so far, Shangguan Yue, the old fox, has not said anything.
Be on your side.”
Xiao Yujue smiled slightly, turned on the folding fan and shook it gently.
"Isn't I afraid that Princess An Ning will know to twist your ears?"
Mu Jingrui paused, lowered his eyes and showed a faint smile.
What he said is facts.
How could it be the prime minister in his early forties without some sharp means and scheming?
"The reason why they are so eager to get rid of Shangguan Yue is because..." Xiao Yujue's expression became serious, "Ling Ruiying is coming back."
Mu Jingrui's pupils dilated, a little surprised.
"He is the Southeast Jiedushi and wants to guard the southeast border."
"Yes, but don't forget that in order to prevent the officials from tying up their troops, the court sent court officials to inspect every five years, and the Jiedushi would return to Beijing to report their duties every ten years. As for whether to go or stay after the report.
, the father must decide."
Mu Jingrui nodded. According to the previous situation, the reason why Ling Ruiying was sent out was actually because the emperor was worried that the Ling family's power in the capital was too large and no one could compete with it.
"Does the Empress Dowager and the Queen want Ling Ruiying to replace Shangguan Yue?"
Xiao Yujue refused to comment.
"So, we have to rescue Lord Shangguan before Ling Ruiying comes back. Otherwise, once Ling Ruiying returns to Beijing, things will be even more difficult."
Xiao Yujue secretly observed Mu Jingrui's expression and seemed to ask inadvertently: "By the way, I heard that Princess Anning did not fall into the hands of the government. Do you know her whereabouts?"
Mu Jingrui had no intention of hiding it, so he told all the things today.
"You can temporarily protect her safety. If you need assistance, you can transfer the secret guards of the Prince's Mansion at any time."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Mu Jingrui had already thought about it. The current situation in the North Korea and the situation in Xiao Yujue was being monitored.
If you protect Shangguan Wanning, it is safer for the forces in the martial arts world.
"Now, the most direct clue is those two imperial physicians. As long as they are willing to come forward to prove Ling Zhiru, all problems will naturally be solved."
Xiao Yujue also agreed with this idea.
He is now on the same boat as Shangguan Yue. If Ling Ruiying is really the prime minister, Xiao Zhenting will be like a tiger, and he will be doomed and will be killed.
The two discussed some details of the response. After Mu Jingrui left the prince's mansion, he went directly to find the two imperial physicians Wang Ying and Xiao Jian.
Wang Ying's family said that he had changed shifts with another imperial physician today and went to the palace to be on duty.
Mu Jingrui came to the Imperial Hospital, but did not see Wang Ying.
"Where is the Imperial Doctor Wang Ying?" Mu Jingrui asked a young eunuch who was catching medicine.
The little eunuch looked around in confusion and replied, "I haven't seen him after lunch."
