Mu Jingrui snorted coldly. The fat man squinted his eyes and looked at it. His face changed slightly, and he immediately rushed up to meet him. He raised his hand and slapped the servant in the face.
"You bastard, when the King of Zhennan arrived, you didn't bow down obediently and saluted, but you dared to yell and scream. If the prince hadn't been magnanimous and didn't care about you, your life would have been saved."
Fatty's brief words had already convinced Mu Jingrui to let go of his servant.
Mu Jingrui didn't bother with him. He had more important things to do this time.
This fat man's name is Huang Hua, he is the local prefect and the Xiao family's best friend.
"Your Majesty, please come inside."
Huang Hua bowed and saluted, and Mu Jingrui got off his horse and walked in.
"Master Huang, your courtyard is very unique. You must have spent a lot of money on it."
Huang Hua was startled when he heard this, and cold sweat broke out from his back.
With his salary, he would never be able to build such a good yard.
"It all depends on the emperor's reward."
Mu Jingrui looked at Huang Hua meaningfully. As far as he knew, neither Xiao Yujue nor the late emperor had given Huang Hua any reward.
Under Huang Hua's guidance, he arrived at the main hall, and the servants immediately served him the finest Longjing tea.
The fragrance of tea overflows, making you feel relaxed and happy.
Mu Jingrui took a brief sip and then put it down, but did not speak.
Huang Hua was uneasy, observing the changes in Mu Jingrui's expression from time to time, and asked tentatively: "Is the prince passing by here, or is he here on an order? Is there anything I can do to help the prince?"
"I came here... specially to see you."
As soon as Mu Jingrui said this, Huang Hua shuddered.
I don't know why, even though Mu Jingrui is only a young man in his twenties, there is always a biting chill emanating from his body, which makes him feel afraid.
"Then...what are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"I came here to ask Mr. Huang about something."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"The late Emperor Zeng Yu gave a gold medal for immunity from death to the Zhonglie Marquis Mansion. I heard that the gold medal for immunity from death has always been kept by your Huang family, right?"
Huang Hua's heartbeat accelerated instantly, his expression was a little panicked, and he managed to squeeze out a smile.
"My lord, who did you hear this from? Although my late father once followed the marquis in the north and south, but...since my late father's death, our Huang family has rarely had contact with the Hou Mansion. After all, people leave for tea.
It’s cool, there’s nothing we can do about it.”
Mu Jingrui watched Huang Hua from beginning to end. He didn't seem to care much whether Huang Hua admitted it or not.
So, he changed the topic and said: "In that case, forget it. Mr. Huang, I met your son when I was in the capital a few days ago. He is a man of great literary talent and elegant demeanor. He is really a rare talent."
With these words, Mu Jingrui was praising the young master of the Huang family, but it made Huang Hua feel chilled from the bottom of his heart.
"It is not easy to enter the Imperial College... Your future is originally bright, but if you are framed or restricted by someone with malicious intentions, your life will be ruined."
Huang Hua's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Mu Jingrui with gloomy eyes.
"Your Majesty, if Quanzi has done anything offended, please consider his young age and let him go for a while."
"Master Huang is really good at joking. My son and I are about the same age. I was chatting with him a few days ago, and he mentioned that he wanted to promote some young people in the Imperial College and eliminate some useless people."
"Your Majesty..."
Mu Jingrui made a gesture to stop what Huang Hua was going to say next.
"Since Mr. Huang is unwilling to tell you the whereabouts of the death-free gold medal, I will not force you to do anything."
Mu Jingrui stood up and walked out the door.
Huang Hua looked at his retreating figure with mixed feelings in his heart.
"Master, I just sent people out to investigate. The King of Zhennan has brought a large number of troops and is stationed outside the city now. I'm afraid..."
The butler's report made Huang Hua's heart feel even colder.
Mu Jingrui got on his horse and was about to leave, but Huang Hua quickly chased after him.
"Your Majesty, please stay."
"Master Huang, is there anything else you can do?"
With a smile on his face, Huang Hua cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I came all the way here, but I can't help. I'm deeply sorry. This is just a little bit of pettyness on my part. Please accept it, Your Majesty."
As he said that, Huang Hua took a brocade box from the entourage beside him and handed it to it with both hands. "I hope the prince can use this gift. I also ask the prince to say a few kind words for Quan Zi in front of the emperor."
Mu Jingrui glanced at the box and smiled meaningfully.
"Master Huang, what the Emperor admires most is a person who understands current affairs."
He motioned to his men to pick up the box, and then rode away with his whip raised.
In the Zhongliehou Mansion, red lanterns and white lanterns were hung together. After nightfall, joy and sorrow were sung together.
Mrs. Xiao arranged a banquet with hundreds of tables in her mansion.
However, when the time came, there was not a single guest.
Looking at the deserted scene, she suddenly felt a heart-piercing sadness.
"Mom, the time has come." Xiao Wenyuan walked over and reminded in a low voice.
"Our Xiao family... was so prosperous in the past and never bullied anyone. Why... have we fallen into such a state now?"
Mrs. Xiao was unwilling to give up, and in her cloudy eyes, the scarlet red seemed to be the twinkling of tears.
Xiao Wenyuan didn't say anything. In fact, everyone knew it.
The girl that Mrs. Xiao wants to forcibly marry this time is extraordinary.
After all, Shangguan Wan Ning is the prime minister's daughter, so coming to drink this wedding wine is tantamount to going against Guan Yue.
Maybe Shangguan Yue's troops are on their way at this time.
"Mom, do you want to... postpone the wedding?" Xiao Wenyuan asked in a low voice.
Mrs. Xiao was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, and her eyes became more determined.
She turned to look at her son and shook her head slightly. "We don't have time."
"Come here!" Mrs. Xiao scolded, "According to the guest list, go to the door and invite the distinguished guests one by one. If you dare not come..."
Mrs. Xiao took the risk, picked up the dragon-headed crutch and beat it heavily on the ground, and said coldly: "Let us hang white sails at home."
Her dominance is all due to the death-free gold medal in her family and the dragon-headed crutch in her hand.
Soldiers from the Zhonglie Marquis Mansion and the guards were dispatched to conduct a full search and forcibly brought over all the celebrities and squires, including the prefect.
Everyone looked at the ferocious soldiers and guards. Even the prefect could do nothing. They could only tremble and look at everything in front of them.
Mrs. Xiao sat down at the top and glanced around with sharp eyes.
"Everyone, my grandson unfortunately died in vain. The person he loved most during his lifetime was Princess Anning. Today, I ask you to be a witness. Let the two of them get married and go to hell together."
After Mrs. Xiao finished speaking, she made a gesture.
"Bring out the bride."
