Chapter Fifteen: Night Investigating the Ministry of Officials
Shen Zhiqing has been busy with the opening of the medical clinic these days, and Mu Yu'an has also joined in to help. Within a few days, the medical clinic has been tidied up, and now all that is left is to pick a time to reopen the medical clinic.
In the past few days, I have been busy with the affairs of the medical center and have been out of the palace, but in fact I have been secretly inquiring about the shipwreck. This matter is known to almost everyone in Tianyu.
Mu Yu'an knew that this matter was under the management of the Ministry of Personnel, so the files on this case must also be in the Ministry of Personnel. She knew that in order to find out the matter, she needed to take a look at the files on the case before further investigation.
Mu Yu'an saw that it was already getting late, so he sent Xiao Lian away and put on night clothes. With her martial arts, it was not difficult to sneak into the official department quietly. The place where the official department kept the files was not guarded at night. There are night watchmen patrolling outside.
Mu Yu'an avoided the patrolling people and went in through the window. All the files of the official department were placed here. Mu Yu'an had to rummage through it carefully. He took out a fire folder from his arms and used the dim light to search for information about the shipwreck incident. file.
Finally seeing it in the corner, Mu Yu'an hurriedly looked through it. It said that the shipwreck was due to the ship being in disrepair for a long time, causing the ship's side to leak. No one on the ship survived.
Mu Yu'an was still watching when she suddenly heard a movement at the door. She quickly blew out the fire and hid behind a cabinet. She only heard the sound of unlocking the door in front of her. There was a "click" and she saw a figure coming in in the darkness. .
Mu Yu'an looked at the uninvited guests who came in and was confused. Apart from the files handled by the Ministry of Personnel, there was nothing valuable here. If he were a thief, he would not go to the archives room of the Ministry of Personnel to steal files. That would be the same as her. The person who came to look through the files was just looking for something.
Chu Mu originally felt sorry for the fact that the Mu family's army was almost wiped out, but the ship that happened was still delivering grain, grass and ammunition to the border. This was too coincidental.
He came here tonight just to check the files on the shipwreck incident.
Mu Yu'an looked at the man in black who was flipping through the files like her, but she didn't know if the files he wanted to read were the same as hers. She watched him getting closer and closer to her and held her breath.
Mu Yu'an had tried to lower her breath as much as possible. From the sound of her footsteps, she could tell that this uninvited guest was also skilled in martial arts. She didn't know the identity of the other party yet, so she must not expose him at this time.
Chu Mu noticed the sound of breathing in the room, put down the file in his hand, and slowly approached the cabinet where Mu Yu'an was.
Mu Yu'an also realized that she had been discovered, and was still thinking about how to escape, when she saw a hand stretched out from the darkness, with a sharp palm, coming straight towards her. She turned around and escaped Chu Mu's attack. , and then started fighting with him. The two of them did not dare to use all their strength. After all, this was the official department. If there was too much movement, it would be troublesome to attract people.
In the darkness, the two people covered their faces and couldn't see each other's faces. They could only infer based on their moves. However, both of them deliberately concealed their martial arts. Mu Yu'an was thinking about how to escape, but Chu Mu didn't pay attention. He almost pulled her scarf off. Although Mu Yuan dodged, Chu Mu pushed him against the wall. The two of them grabbed each other's arms. The moonlight showed a glimmer of light through the window. The two of them looked into each other's eyes. Chu Mu looked into Mu Yuan's eyes and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
However, before he had time to think about it, Mu Yuan pushed Chu Mu away and jumped from the window. Chu Mu quickly caught up.
Mu Yu'an looked at Chu Mu who was chasing behind him, thinking about how to get rid of this trouble. The two of them were running away from each other on the roof.
Mu Yu'an left the palace secretly. She couldn't stay out for too long. If someone found out that she was not in the palace, it would be troublesome. Mu Yu'an looked back at Chu Mu, then jumped up, stood still, and walked towards the alley.
Although Chu Mu also jumped down after running away, looking at Mu Yuan disappearing into the darkness, he knew that he could no longer catch up.
Chu Mu thought of the eyes of the man in black just now, and where he had seen them before. Suddenly, he remembered the first time he met Mu Yu'an. At that time, she had such a sharp look, even if she was facing a ruffian and bully, she would not show any signs of it.
He flinched and thought about the disdain and disgust in his eyes that day. Could it be that she was really his princess tonight? Thinking of this, Chu Mu went back directly to the palace.
Mu Yu'an rushed back to the palace as quickly as possible. In order not to disturb others, she climbed over the wall and entered. She was a general, so it was not difficult to avoid the guards of the palace. After a while, she was back to herself.
In the yard, Xiaolian had already fallen asleep. She quickly took off her night clothes, and before she lay down on the bed, she heard a sound coming from outside.
Ji Li helped the drunken Chu Mu over. Of course, Chu Mu was pretending to be drunk. He wanted to see if it was his princess who appeared in the official department tonight, but he was afraid that his guess would be wrong, so he acted
Because he was drunk, he came to Mu Yu'an's room openly and openly. Even if he guessed wrong, he could still get through.
"Prince, please slow down." Ji Li supported Chu Musheng for fear of knocking him.
"I want to see the princess." Not to mention, Chu Mu pretended to be the same. When he came over, he even poured a bottle of wine on himself, making him look like he was drunk to outsiders.
When Mu Yu'an heard the noise outside, she quickly stuffed her night clothes under the bed and spread her hair. She put the heater under the quilt in the cabinet. When she went out, she put the quilt away just in case.
There are several heaters inside, so even if you lift the quilt, no one will notice that the quilt is cold.
Ji Li knocked on Mu Yuan's door and held Chu Mu with one hand. Looking at his prince's appearance, he thought to himself, this prince is really too scheming to marry the princess, and he also said that he doesn't like the prince.
, all this was delivered to my door, "Princess."
Mu Yu looked like he was getting ready, opened the door, and saw Chu Mu who was drunk and Ji Li who looked helpless.
Before she could react, a huge creature leaned against her. Chu Mu squinted and saw Mu Yuan pounce directly on her.
Chu Mu leaned against Mu Yu'an. The moment before he saw her, his heart was still tense. He was afraid of what he would do if she was really not in the room.
Mu Yu'an glanced at Ji Li and asked him what was going on. Ji Li said helplessly, "I don't know why the prince was drunk outside. When he came back, he insisted on looking for the princess. I had no choice, so I
The prince will send it to the princess." Ji Li actually thought in his heart that this would be a shame to the princess, but for the happiness of his prince, he would be willing to be scolded to death by the princess in the future.
Mu Yu'an supported Chu Mu. Based on her understanding of Chu Mu these days, he was not an alcoholic. How could he be so drunk today? Moreover, the time of this appearance was too consistent with the time of her return, not to mention Chu Mu.
She had always been suspicious of her before. No matter what Chu Mu's situation was, as his princess, she had no reason to push him away. "Okay, I understand. The prince can rest with me tonight."
"Thank you, Princess, please take care of me." Ji Li thought to himself that now the prince and the princess were finally together.
Mu Yu'an supported Chu Mu and put him on the bed. Chu Mu deliberately pulled the quilt towards him and took the opportunity to put his hand into the quilt. It was hot. Chu Mu showed a smile on his lips and soon pretended to be drunk.
Fortunately, it's not her tonight.
Chu Mu even felt that he would be willing to do so even if he didn't see the files on the shipwreck case, knowing that it was not her who was visiting the official department tonight.
Chu Mu himself didn't realize that he would be disturbed by Mu Yu'an's affairs now.
This, maybe I just like it, I just like it without knowing it.
Mu Yu'an looked at Chu Mu who was lying motionless on her bed. She had doubts in her heart. If Chu Mu came to her at this time, people would be suspicious.
However, Mu Yu'an had no time to think about this. She was still thinking about who the person who appeared at the official department tonight was, whether he was rushing to file the shipwreck case like her, or someone else. Who else in Kangjian would care about this matter besides her?
Whether the person she met tonight is an enemy or a friend is unknown. She cannot make a wrong step now. She must find out the truth about the death of Mu Jiajun. She cannot let Mu Jiajun die in the dark.
.
Mu Yu'an couldn't help but frown when he thought of this. Chu Mu seemed to notice the uneasy atmosphere in the room. He turned over and continued to pretend to be asleep. He leaned against Mu Yu'an and slowly opened his eyes. He seemed to be doubting Mu Yu'an today.
I feel relieved but annoyed.
Chu Mu no longer doubted that the person who appeared in the official department tonight was Mu Yu'an. However, although the person who appeared in the official department today was not her, he still felt that the princess was hiding something from him. Men's intuition is sometimes better than that of women.
It feels pretty accurate.
Mu Yu'an had too many things on her mind. Once she embarked on this path, there was no way out.
Mu Yu'an looked at Chu Mu, feeling melancholy in his heart for a moment. No matter what, Chu Mu had never done anything detrimental to her, nor had he interfered with her affairs. At least in this regard, as a royal child, he could do what he had done.
Very good, but she is destined to walk alone.
Mu Yuan saw that most of her bed was occupied, and it seemed that she could only sleep on the couch next to her. Mu Yuan glanced at Chu Mu, she always felt that the man in black had been seen somewhere before, but it was
She couldn't think of it, but anyway, tonight was not all fruitless. At least she knew that someone was as "concerned" about the shipwreck case as she was, but she didn't know whether the person was a friend or an enemy.
There was a screen between the two of them. Mu Yu'an couldn't sleep at all thinking about what happened tonight. Everyone on the boat died at that time. It was impossible to find witnesses. Now, she could only find the wreckage of the ship and hope
If she could find clues, it seemed that she would have to find a chance to visit the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Chu Mu could only vaguely see Mu Yu'an's figure through the screen. The room was lit with incense, and there was a faint fragrance. Chu Mu didn't sleep well at first. When he was outside the customs, he often practiced martial arts until he fell asleep very late. I don't know what happened today.
After a while, he fell asleep. This time, Chu Mu slept very well. He had not had such a good rest for a long time.
