"Your Highness, please rest assured that I know what to do and will get it done as soon as possible."
After hearing Mu Jingrui's words, Xiao Yujue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He patted Mu Jingrui on the shoulder and asked, "How many people do you need to assist? All secret guards in the entire Prince's Mansion are at your disposal at any time."
Mu Jingrui thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "It is inconvenient for familiar faces from the Prince's Palace to participate. If it falls into the hands of Taifu Sun, it will be another trouble. I will go explore the road first before making any plans."
"That's fine, just be careful yourself."
At night, Mu Jingrui put on night clothes and sneaked into Taifu Sun's mansion alone.
It's early summer, the evening breeze is blowing with warmth, and the air in the garden is filled with bursts of fragrance.
Taifu Sun stood alone in the courtyard, looking up at the bright moon in the sky in a daze, holding a jade pendant that was all green and crystal clear in his hand.
"Master, today I personally cooked and stewed your favorite soup. Go and have a bowl." Mrs. Sun came over and stepped forward to help Taifu Sun.
When she saw the jade pendant in Taifu Sun's hand, her expression changed slightly.
Taifu Sun put the jade pendant into his arms, casually withdrew his hand, and said indifferently: "No, I have something to do. You can go and eat by yourself."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Mrs. Sun suddenly became furious and cursed at Taifu Sun's back: "All I can think about is that vixen all day long. I have been with you for so many years, even if your heart is made of stone, it should be warmed by me, right?"
?”
Taifu Sun's expression suddenly changed. He turned to look at Mrs. Sun and scolded her coldly: "She is just a shrew, vulgar and ignorant."
"Yeah, I'm vulgar, I'm ignorant, I'm not as good as her. But you have to know your identity. Even if you think about her again, she won't be your woman. You think about her day and night,
What is she doing? She is busy trying to please the emperor..."
With a "pop" sound, Taifu Sun raised his hand and slapped Mrs. Sun on the face.
Mrs. Sun covered half of her swollen face and finally calmed down, with a bit of despair in her eyes.
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will beat you to death." Taifu Sun warned sternly.
"Why do you beat my mother?"
Sun Jinyao ran over in a hurry, glared at Taifu Sun angrily, rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush forward, but was held tightly by Mrs. Sun.
"Yao'er, forget it..."
"Mom, how could he do this to you? What qualifications does he have to do this to you?" Sun Jinyao clenched his fists and tried his best to endure it, his face was full of pain and sorrow.
Taifu Sun also seemed to regret a little, and he wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start.
"Yao'er, help me back to my room." Mrs. Sun was so disheartened that she didn't even look at her husband again.
The resentment and jealousy in her eyes were suppressed by the corners of her eyes.
All this was seen by Mu Jingrui who was hiding in the dark.
Sure enough, Shangguan Wan Ning's information was correct. Taifu Sun and Concubine Liu did have an ulterior secret. Maybe they still maintain an unknown relationship.
Mu Jingrui did not go into details at this time, and turned around to find Taifu Sun's study.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he pushed open the door and ducked in.
Under the dim moonlight, Mu Jingrui rummaged in the study, but found nothing. He was unwilling to leave like this, and suddenly remembered that his father would set up many hidden compartments in the study in order to collect important official documents.
My father and Taifu Sun were close friends during his lifetime. Do they have the same habits?
Mu Jingrui calmed down and walked to the bookshelf, groping carefully.
"Crack!"
Sure enough.
When Mu Jingrui pressed a button, a hidden box appeared in front of him. Inside, he found an official document containing the dossier of the Salt and Iron Transporter.
He reached out to take it, and suddenly several sharp arrows came towards him.
He could only turn over and dodge. When he tried to get closer again, more and more sharp arrows were shot from all directions.
Mu Jingrui pulled out his long sword and shot down the sharp arrow. The moment he jumped out of the window, a fishing net fell from the sky.
He was calm and composed, wielding his long sword to cut off the fishing net, and broke out of the net.
Dozens of guards armed with bows and arrows surrounded him.
"You are so courageous that you dare to break into my mansion alone." Taifu Sun also came over when he heard the noise. His mood was not good at first, but now it is even worse.
"I want to see who you are." Taifu Sun waved his arm, and dozens of sharp arrows shot towards Mu Jingrui like raindrops.
Mu Jingrui stepped back and jumped onto the roof, intending to climb over the wall.
A sharp arrow scratched his arm. He endured the pain and his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
"Chase." Taifu Sun gave the order, and the guards immediately gave chase.
Mu Jingrui tapped several acupuncture points on his body to temporarily stop the bleeding. At this time, he was being chased by Taifu Sun's guards. He did not dare to go in the direction of the Prince's Mansion, so he had to shuttle back and forth in various alleys.
It was almost curfew at this time, and there were almost no pedestrians on the street.
Mu Jingrui saw several carriages parked outside the restaurant in front of him, which seemed to belong to the prime minister's palace. He hesitated for a moment, then quickly got in, hoping to temporarily avoid Taifu Sun's guards.
But...not long after he got in, he heard footsteps approaching.
Someone's out? Oops!
"Ning'er, you should rest early when you get back, you know?"
"I understand, uncle." Shangguan Wanning took a deep breath, feeling her head was a little swollen, "Today's crystal cake was so delicious, and those few dishes of meat and vegetables were so delicious."
"Little greedy cat." Zheng Binghong poked Shangguan Wan Ning's forehead, "If you like it, my uncle will bring you to eat next time. But you are not allowed to run out alone, you know?"
"knew."
Shangguan Wan Ning walked towards the carriage with Lu Tong's support.
Lu Tong had just opened the curtain of the carriage, and suddenly saw a person sitting inside. She was so frightened that she was about to scream, but Shangguan Wan Ning quickly covered her mouth.
At this time, there were messy and noisy footsteps behind him, and a group of guards were looking around with torches.
Shangguan Wan Ning pushed Lu Tong, and they got on the carriage together.
The coachman hurried over, picked up his whip and prepared to drive away.
He just walked away in a hurry, fearing that his master would blame him, and he couldn't help but feel guilty.
The coachman waved his whip to urge the horses, and the guards gathered around him.
The leader blocked the carriage and said sternly: "Stop, we need to check."
Lutong relaxed when she saw clearly that the person in the carriage was Mu Jingrui. At Shangguan Wanning's signal, she lifted the curtain of the carriage.
"Who are you? Are you able to inspect my lady's carriage at will?"
The leading guard heard that the maid had a bad tone, so he came forward with a torch. Then he saw clearly that it was the sign hanging on the carriage, and said with a smile: "It turns out they are the family members of the Prime Minister. Sorry to bother you. But, we
To capture the assassin in the name of the Grand Tutor. If there is no other way, please make it easier."
