"News?" Mu Jingrui frowned slightly, looked down at Shangguan Wanning's hand holding his wrist.
Shangguan Wanning realized her loss of composure, and her hands relaxed and shrank back. She blushed on her cheeks. She hurriedly turned her back to hide her embarrassment.
Mu Jingrui's mouth raised slightly, suppressing the doting smile.
"explain."
Shangguan Wanning took a breath and said, "Last time at the celebration banquet at the Prince's Mansion, I felt that the relationship between Mrs. Sun and Grand Tutor Sun seemed to be not very good, so I made Lutong spend a lot of money.
, I found out some things from the maids who had the wives and ladies who had been with Mrs. Sun on weekdays."
"The family of Sun Taifu is also a scholarly family. The three generations of ancestors were all appointed by the imperial court, and their official positions were not small. I heard that the famous lady Sun Taifu wanted to marry was not Mrs. Sun, but his childhood sweetheart... Concubine Liu."
A hint of surprise flashed in Mu Jingrui's eyes.
"However, when the two were talking about marriage, the Liu family suddenly encountered an accident. The Sun family members chose to stay out of trouble, and also prevented the Grand Tutor Sun from meeting Liu Guifei again. In order to restore the family's decline, Liu Guifei
Entry to the palace for the draft.”
"She has good luck. She was selected by the first emperor and gave it to the emperor who was still the prince at that time as a concubine. She was both talented and loved by the emperor. She also gave birth to a second prince for the emperor. She can be said to be the best in the harem in the harem.
The favored concubine."
"Listen to Mrs. Sun's usual complaints to Lord Sun, it seems that she also feels that Grand Tutor Sun has put too much time and energy into the second prince's body, even surpassing their own sons. This is completely beyond the ministers' attitude towards the king.
The category of
Shangguan Wanning's words made Mu Jingrui fall into deep thought.
During this period, he has been paying attention to Sun Jinyao's whereabouts and even bought a few friends who have a good relationship with Sun Jinyao.
"Sun Jinyao would mention it when drinking and having fun with his friends. Grand Tutor Sun always compared him with the second prince and always asked him to take the second prince as an example, which made him very depressed."
Shangguan Wanning was slightly stunned and smiled, "It seems that Sun Jinyao always follows the second prince's side, and thinks they are in the same group. It turns out that he has a rift."
"But finding these things is useless to us." Mu Jingrui had no way to find any clues that were beneficial to him.
Shangguan Wanning doesn't think so.
"You can't say that. I believe there will be no love in this world for no reason. Grand Tutor Sun treats the second prince with his kindness, and even his wife and son feel it's too much. Don't you find it strange?"
Mu Jingrui looked at Shangguan Wanning, and the two of them intersected their gazes. He seemed to see through the bold speculation in Shangguan Wanning's heart.
"you mean……"
"Whatever you say now is just a guess. Grand Tutor Sun is powerful in the court. Even my father and grandfather have to give him some shame when they see him. If he can't shake him, he can start from Sun Jinyao. At least we already know now,
Sun Jinyao was just looking at Xiao Zhenting, so he had already done it."
"Leave these things to me." Mu Jingrui did not want Shangguan Wanning to intervene in too many court disputes, and he was even more reluctant to let her disguise herself as a man and run around. "Don't interfere anymore."
Shangguan Wan pondered for a moment, but nodded slightly.
She believed that with Mu Jingrui's intelligence and wisdom, she could definitely follow this clue and gain something.
"Let's go, I'll take you back."
Mu Jingrui stretched out his arm to hold Shangguan Wanning's hand. The purse she carried on her body fell off, and the golden lock inside fell out.
Shangguan Wanning leaned over and picked it up, and found that the gold lock had been deformed.
"Even if you don't like the golden lock I gave you, you don't have to break it, right?" Shangguan Wanning looked at Mu Jingrui angrily.
Mu Jingrui hurriedly explained: "I didn't break it. Speaking of which, it's fortunate that there is this golden lock."
He briefly said what happened that day, and Shangguan Wanning's heart was irritated.
"Do you remember which day it was?"
Mu Jingrui thought about it and submitted a day.
Shangguan Wanning was secretly surprised.
It was the same day as her who survived in the water and died.
Could it be that this is the bloody disaster that the interpreter said?
"Don't worry, when I finish my work, I will use the golden lock to repair it. It should be able to repair it." Mu Jingrui cherishes Shangguan Wanning's feelings for him very much. "Let's go, I'll take you home. Don't go again
If your father knows, you will be punished heavily."
"Wait." Shangguan Wanning was still scared, "Anyway, it's out. I want to go to Baima Temple to fulfill my wish. You can go back first."
Mu Jingrui wrapped his hands in front of his chest and looked at Shangguan Wanning with a burning gaze.
"I must go anyway."
Seeing Shangguan Wanning's firm attitude, Mu Jingrui had no choice but to accompany her to Baima Temple.
Shangguan Wanning thought about what her mother said a few days ago and began to reflect on it.
Is it true that if the killing is too heavy, you will really be punished?
She knelt in front of the Buddha and begged for gratitude piously. When she turned around, she saw Mu Jingrui standing straight with her eyes empty and expressionless face.
Shangguan Wanning pulled Mu Jingrui's robe and whispered: "What are you doing while standing? Kneel down and bow."
"I don't believe this." Mu Jingrui said it lightly, his face full of disregard.
After experiencing the ups and downs of the family, he completely disbelief of seeking gods and worshiping Buddhas.
So what if my mother is focused on her? Is there any good ending?
Now Mu Jingrui only believes in his own fists.
Shangguan Wanning didn't want to force herself, she stood up and said, "Then you wait for me here, I'll add some money for sesame oil."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the temple.
Miao Zhu recognized Shangguan Wanning, who was dressed as a man, and smiled gently and kindly. "Thank you for your kindness, I hope you will be rewarded with kindness."
"I want to thank you for resolving the bloody disaster for my friend."
"It is you, not me, who resolves the bloody disaster for your friends."
Shangguan Wanning stood up and saluted the temple Zhu, turned around and saw Mu Jingrui standing behind her.
"Okay, you can leave."
The two walked out of the temple gate and went down the mountain together. Mu Jingrui couldn't help but be curious and asked, "What did you and Temple Zhu mean just now?"
"Don't you believe it?"
“It’s always okay to say it.”
Shangguan Wanning hesitated for a while and still told the whole story.
"I know you don't believe in this, but it doesn't matter. As long as you're fine, add some sesame oil to buy peace of mind, then..."
"Why should you be so kind to me?"
Mu Jingrui interrupted Shangguan Wanning's words and stopped and stared at her.
