Another little eunuch ran in panting, pale and tremblingly said, "Doctor Wang...drowned..."
Mu Jingrui's face darkened, he stepped forward quickly and asked, "Where is it?"
"In... on the Koi Pond in the Imperial Garden..."
Mu Jingrui rushed over immediately and saw a group of guards gathered together from afar. Some brave eunuchs and palace maids were whispering and pointing at each other.
He pushed the guard away and walked over, looked closely, and couldn't help but feel stunned.
The cause of Wang Ying's death is suspicious.
I saw his face covered with scars, his whole right arm was hanging on his shoulder, he had been dislocated, and his three fingers were cut off.
Mu Jingrui immediately squatted down and wanted to check, but was stopped by the imperial guards who rushed over.
"Mr. Mu, no matter how you say this is the forbidden palace, you should leave it to us to do the rough work of checking the body and investigating the cause of death."
Mu Jingrui realized that the Imperial Commander had intentionally or unintentionally blocked Wang Ying's body, and he was very clear.
He didn't force himself, but just smiled calmly and turned around and left without saying a word.
Mu Jingrui had an ominous premonition.
Seeing Wang Ying's scarred look, he would definitely not have been drowned; even if he was tortured before his death, he was tortured and forced to confess.
In this way, Xiao Jian will also be in danger.
Mu Jingrui hurriedly ran towards Xiao Jian's home, and used his light skills in the downtown area.
He came to Xiao Jian's door, and the door was closed.
He knocked on the door but no one answered, and had no choice but to climb over the wall and enter.
Mu Jingrui found that the Xiao family's house was in a mess, with a bright red and eye-catching bloodstain that stretched to the inner hall.
He rushed in, and the scene in front of him was a little shocked.
The eleven people from the Xiao family, including Xiao Jian’s two-year-old grandson, were all killed, with their bodies and heads in different places, and their deaths were terrifying.
However, Mu Jingrui did not see Xiao Jian.
Could it be that he escaped?
"who?"
Mu Jingrui heard the slight footsteps, and suddenly the door of the hall was closed, and he heard the sound of someone knocking on the door and window.
He hurried to check and found that someone had nailed the door and window. Then, thick smoke came in through the crack of the door.
Mu Jingrui smiled coldly.
He condensed his true energy in his palm, and smashed the window with one palm, and jumped out.
However, those people had evacuated quickly, and only the raging fire began to burn.
The king died and Xiao Jian disappeared.
Sure enough, things are much more complicated than imagined.
Mu Jingrui turned around and looked at the fire, climbed over the wall and left.
Shangguan Wanning was restless all day long, and the changes she encountered within a day made her unable to calm down.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, she was worried that her parents would be affected by the disaster in prison, and she was also worried that Lutong would sleep on the streets.
"Miss...Miss..."
"Green Tong?"
Shangguan Wanning heard the familiar call and hurriedly ran out. As soon as she opened the door, Lutong rushed over.
"Miss, I think I will never see you again in this life." Lu Tong burst into tears, hugging Shangguan Wanning and refused to let go.
"Okay, OK, it's okay." Shangguan Wanning patted Lutong's back to express comfort, pulled her to sit down aside, and wiped the tears from her face.
Lutong sobbed, gradually calmed down, and asked carefully: "Miss, what should we do next?"
"I..." Shangguan Wanning didn't know, and sighed helplessly.
"Since my brother brought you here, he will definitely protect you."
Mu Jingyan walked in wearing a strong suit and holding a long sword.
She looked around and muttered, "Your life is so good. Now there are fools like my brother who sacrifice their lives to protect you."
After saying that, he threw a burden on the table.
"Here, he asked me to give you the change of clothes and jewelry."
Shangguan Wanning looked at the package, lowered her eyelids and fell into deep thought.
"What's wrong? It's not good to dislike you? You've already fallen into such a land and have to be picky. Do you really think you're still the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"You..." Lu Tong was unfair to Shangguan Wanning and wanted to refute a few words, but was grabbed by Shangguan Wanning.
Shangguan Wanning shook her head gently. "Lutong, forget it."
"Thank you for your kindness. Lutong and I want to rest. If you have nothing to do, please go back."
"I..." Mu Jingyan opened his mouth and couldn't say the comforting words stuck in his throat.
In fact, she doesn't have to come in person for a small matter like giving clothes.
However, the Shangguan family was in trouble, and she felt a little sympathetic to Shangguan Wanning. No matter what, Shangguan Wanning had helped her, let alone a girl with deep affection for her brother.
However, thinking of the misunderstandings between the two before, Mu Jingyan was embarrassed to speak out when he gave in.
Mu Jingyan walked out of the yard and ordered the guards here to take good care of Shangguan Wanning, leaving listlessly.
Late at night, Shangguan Wanning woke up the sleeping Lutong.
"Miss..." Lutong rubbed her sleepy eyes, "What's wrong with you? Are you thirsty or hungry? I'll help you..."
"Shh." Shangguan Wanning made a silence, "Lutong, don't disturb others, let's go."
Lutong suddenly lost all sleepiness.
"Let's go? Miss, where are we going?"
"It's good to go anywhere. I don't want to stay here, otherwise I will only owe Mu Jingrui endlessly."
Shangguan Wan was arrogant and arrogant. On the one hand, she couldn't stand Mu Jingyan's humiliation, and on the other hand, she wanted to use her own abilities to save her parents.
"Miss, it's not that I am afraid of death and dare not endure hardships, but... you are just a weak woman. It's still difficult to protect yourself after leaving here. How can you save the master and wife?"
"I have my own way."
When Lutong heard this, she nodded.
The master and servant took advantage of the night to avoid the patrol guards and sneaked out from the back door.
"Miss, where are we going now?"
"Just come with me."
Shangguan Wanning guessed that Mu Jingrui must have looked for the two imperial physicians at this time, and she would do the repetitions when she went to look for them.
She thought of another way and might find clues.
The two of them were walking on the quiet street, and the cold moonlight stretched their figures. Lu Tong was a little scared and hugged Shangguan Wanning's arm tightly.
Suddenly, two people rushed out of the dark alley, blocking their way.
Shangguan Wanning pulled Lu Tong and ran, and two more people jumped out of the other direction, blocking their way forward and back.
"Princess Anning, you'd better surrender. Let me tell you, Mu Jingrui is still in the Prince's Mansion, and he won't come to save you."
Shangguan Wanning took a deep breath and tried her best to calm herself down. She secretly took out a few silver needles and clamped them between her fingers.
