"Jing Rui, haven't the whereabouts of the Prime Minister yet?"
Xiao Yujue looked a little tired. She sat on the chair and pinched her nose. Looking at the pile of official documents, she couldn't get up at it.
Mu Jingrui shook his head helplessly.
Shangguan Yue seemed to have evaporated from the world. No matter how many people he sent, there was no news about it openly or secretly.
"Ning'er has been reporting to the emperor that she was seriously ill and could not get up, but this reason cannot last long. No matter how smart she is, she will be almost unable to hold on."
Mu Jingrui is more concerned about Shangguan Yue's life and death than Xiao Yujue.
"The Prime Minister is the leader of all officials. Now there is news in the palace that my father wants to depose me. If the Prime Minister is not here, officials from all forces dare not take sides and express their opinions easily, and no one dares to speak in front of my father. If this continues, then
…”
Xiao Yujue was banned from entering the palace, and the memorials sent by the Privy Council to him to review were all trivial matters. It was obvious that the emperor was about to underestimate him.
"Your Highness," Mu Jingyan knocked in with pastries, "You have been talking in the study for more than two hours, have some food and have a rest."
Since losing the child, Mu Jingyan has been in poor health and is depressed.
Mu Jingrui felt very distressed as he watched his sister get thinner and thinner.
"It's wind blowing, why don't you add more clothes?" Xiao Yujue held Mu Jingyan's hand, cold and cold.
"Your Highness, my subordinates will retire first. With the news from Lord Shangguan, my subordinates will report it as soon as possible."
"Um."
Mu Jingrui walked out, Mu Jingyan hesitated a little and said, "Your Highness, I'll go see my brother off."
Mu Jingyan chased after him and rushed up quickly.
"Why don't you accompany Your Highness?"
Mu Jingyan accompanied Mu Jingrui forward, and was silent for a long time before asking in a low voice: "Brother, this time... is your highness really troublesome?"
Mu Jingrui did not answer. He did not want his sister to fall into the whirlpool of court struggle.
"Actually..." Mu Jingyan wanted to speak but stopped, and his voice was very soft, "If you are deposed, you should be deposed. Even if I return to the mozhu forest, I don't think there is anything wrong. I work from the sunrise and rest from the sunset,
Calm and tranquility, but more comfortable..."
Mu Jingyan didn't say anything, she found that Mu Jingrui stopped and looked at her with a serious look.
"Brother...what is wrong? Did I, what did I say wrong?"
"Xiaoyan, just say these words in front of me, don't mention them in front of the Prince's Hall."
"Why?"
Mu Jingrui sighed silently.
He was really worried about his sister.
"Xiaoyan, you have been with the Prince of Crown for so long, don't you really understand at all? In his world, the price of success or failure is life and death. Do you really think that after the prince is deposed, he can return to Mozhulin to continue his life. Do you really think that after the prince is deposed, he can continue to live in Mozhulin.
?”
Mu Jingyan was stunned and couldn't speak.
"And, the emperor has already planned to recall Xiao Zhenting back to the capital. Do you know what this means?"
Mu Jingyan lowered his eyelids, speechless.
"Xiaoyan, I know that many things have happened recently, and you will also feel tired. But your husband is your own choice. Do you understand what kind of man to marry and what life to live?"
"Brother, I understand."
Mu Jingyan's voice became lighter.
Mu Jingrui wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know where to start with thousands of words.
He patted Mu Jingyan on the shoulder and said earnestly. "Xiaoyan, don't think too much. You just need to do your best to serve your husband. I will solve other problems."
Mu Jingyan nodded sadly and watched his brother leave.
Mu Jingrui returned home and Chu Xiaolian came up to greet him.
"Sir, the person you sent out to perform the mission is back."
"So quickly?" Mu Jingrui had an ominous premonition, "Is there something wrong?"
"They... did not find Xiao Zhenting."
"oh?"
Mu Jingrui's brow was deeply locked, and the failure to assassination and the inability to find were two completely different concepts.
"Our people were divided into seven teams, guarding the only way Xiao Zhenting returned to Beijing, but he didn't see him at all. And..." Chu Xiaolian paused and said, "We also found out that there was another force.
, also intercepting Xiao Zhenting."
"Who is it?"
"Shangguan Wanning."
A hint of surprise flashed through Mu Jingrui's eyes.
He couldn't believe that Shangguan Wanning would actually send a killer to snipe Xiao Zhenting.
She was obviously so weak... and she couldn't find a reason why she had to kill Xiao Zhenting.
"My husband, are you back?"
Yin Yuqing walked over with a smile. She came forward and took Mu Jingrui's arm, and nodded slightly to Chu Xiaolian.
Chu Xiaolian's heart hurt a little, but she could only set her identity right, and then walked out after saluting.
She heard Yin Yuqing's gentle care for Mu Jingrui came from behind her.
"My husband, the weather is getting colder. I want to make some clothes to protect you from the cold. I'll measure the size for you."
"Just leave these things to the servants." Mu Jingrui calmly pulled back his hand, sat down at the table, and poured himself a cup of tea.
Yin Yuqing also sat opposite him.
"They are worried about being a good person. My husband, don't worry. I have been a female worker since I was a child, so I will definitely not let you lose your dignity after wearing it. Come on...ah..."
Yin Yuqing reached out to measure Mu Jingrui's size, but was pushed away impatiently by Mu Jingrui.
She was caught off guard and almost fell off the stool. Her clear eyes stared at Mu Jingrui with tears in her eyes.
"I said, you don't have to do these things." Mu Jingrui's face did not change, and turned around and returned to the study.
Yin Yuqing stood there dumbly, and when she came to her senses, she was already in tears.
She didn't understand why Mu Jingrui was still indifferent no matter what she did.
They married for so long, and Mu Jingrui not only did not have sex with her, but also didn't even look at her.
She knew in her heart that the whole mansion had been talking a lot. However, Mu Jingrui seemed to be unable to see her tolerance and grievances at all.
"Madam, someone sent a letter outside to the adults."
The servant came in to report, and Yin Yuqing suppressed the grievance in his heart. "Give it to me, I'll leave it to him."
The servant handed the letter over and then stepped back. Yin Yuqing was about to get up to deliver the letter, but the beautiful words on the envelope attracted her attention.
This is a letter from a woman's arm.
Yin Yuqing had a premonition, which was sent by Shangguan Wanning.
She thought about it and took the letter back to her room. She opened the letter and found that it was Shangguan Wanning who asked Mu Jingrui to meet.
Yin Yuqing was suddenly angry and annoyed, and was in a state of jealousy.
She is obviously the upright Mrs. Mu, why does Shangguan Wanning ask her husband to meet in a letter?
Yin Yuqing sneered, reminded the maid beside her and said, "Go and tell the person in the gatehouse just now that he is not allowed to mention this letter in front of his husband."
