Stunning beauty

Southwest of the palace, Ting Yu Xuan.

Prince Wen's residence in the palace.

In the garden, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

When Prince Wen Mu Wenqing came back from the Shou'an Palace, a woman in an orange dress immediately stepped forward, put a cloak on the former's shoulders, showed concern, and reminded, "My lord, it's cold outside, go back to your room .”

"Ah."

Mu Wenqing nodded in response, and immediately walked towards the room ahead.

Inside the room, the sound of burning charcoal was crackling, and the two walked into it one after the other.

It's autumn now, and the weather hasn't completely cooled down. However, most of Ting Yuxuan's rooms are equipped with braziers.

Because Prince Wen is weak and is very afraid of the cold, as long as the weather turns a little cooler, Ting Yuxuan will start a charcoal fire early.

"Hibiscus."

Mu Wenqing sat in front of the brazier, warmed his hands, and said, "Please come and have a seat, Princess Ninth."

Mu Jin was taken aback when she heard the words, and quickly came back to her senses, and said respectfully, "Yes."

Afterwards, Mu Jin turned and left to invite someone.

In the room, Mu Wenqing sat quietly in front of the brazier, holding a blue bead in his hand, with a look of thought on his face.

I do not know how long it has been.

Mu Wenqing recovered from his thoughts, outside the room, Mu Jin also came with the nine princesses.

"Uncle Seventh Emperor."

Murong entered the room, bowed gracefully, and said respectfully.

"Rong'er, sit down."

Mu Wenqing looked at his niece in front of him with a gentle expression.

"Thank you, Uncle."

Murong sat down across the table, and said softly, "Is Uncle Huang feeling better?"

"much better."

Mu Wenqing nodded, and said, "Rong'er, why didn't you and your queen mother persuade you to go to the northern region when your fourth brother went to the north?"

"By the time we got the news, it was too late."

Murong's expression darkened, and he said, "Besides, if brother insists on going, the queen mother and I will not be able to persuade you."

"His temper is really stubborn."

Mu Wenqing sighed softly, and said, "I heard that Brother Huang sent a priest from the palace to accompany him, and your Fourth Brother is not weak, so you will be fine."

"hope so."

Murong replied, still feeling a little restless, sitting there, not knowing what to say.

Seeing the former's distraught appearance, Mu Wenqing sighed again in his heart, and said, "Mujin, send the ninth princess back."

Murong came back to his senses, got up and bowed again, and said, "Uncle Emperor, Rong'er will leave."

After finishing speaking, Murong turned around and left. It took less than a quarter of an hour from the time he heard Yuxuan until he left.

"Prince Wen, you really value love and righteousness. Now that things are going on, you still have the heart to care about your nephew's safety."

Not long after Murong left, the room was filled with black air, and a black figure walked out and spoke.

"Why, do I need your consent to do things?"

Mu Wenqing said indifferently without turning his head.

"That's not necessary."

The black figure said coldly, "It's just that the things you promised my emperor seem to be coming soon."

"You haven't delivered what the king wants."

Mu Wenqing put a piece of charcoal into the brazier, and said calmly, "In business, you always have to pay for the goods and deliver the goods. I haven't seen the goods I want, so how could I pay so quickly?"

"My emperor is already preparing what Prince Wen wants, but Prince Wen doesn't seem to have any intention of taking what my emperor wants." The black figure said coldly.

"Is it difficult to take one's life?"

Mu Wenqing continued to put two pieces of charcoal into the brazier, and said calmly.

"Prince Wen, since it is a transaction, Your Excellency must show some sincerity." The black figure said in a deep voice.

"Never mind."

Mu Wenqing put down the tongs in his hand and said, "This king will leave the palace for a walk."

"Prince Wen, hurry up, or I will make my emperor wait in a hurry."

The black figure sneered, "You human race, there are many people who want to cooperate with our race, and the prince is not the only one."

Mu Wenqing got up, stomped his feet, turned his head and glanced coldly at the person behind him, and said in a cold tone, "My lord, I don't like other people's threats, so don't make an example."

After the words fell, Mu Wenqing stepped out of the room.

outside.

Mu Jin, who had just sent the ninth princess away, saw the prince leaving the room, stepped forward quickly, and asked, "Where is the prince going?"

"Leave the palace for a walk."

Mu Wenqing smiled and said, "The one inside is in a hurry, so he has to put on a show."

After hearing this, Mu Jin immediately understood, and said, "My maidservant will go with the prince."

"also."

Mu Wenqing didn't refuse either, and nodded in response.

The two left Ting Yuxuan and walked all the way outside the palace.

Over the years, due to health reasons, Prince Wen rarely left the palace, and rarely participated in political affairs. He could be called a real idle prince, with the name of King Wu but no real power.

Of course, Prince Wen didn't care too much, and never asked about court affairs.

Outside the palace, on the street, Mu Wenqing looked at the pedestrians coming and going, and said, "Mu Jin, do you know how to get to Li Yuan?"

"West."

Mu Jin replied, "The servant only knows the general direction, so I'll ask on the way."

"Right."

Mu Wenqing nodded, and walked towards the west of the capital.

About an hour later.

The two stopped and went, finally found Li Yuan.

Li Yuan, the inner courtyard, Hongzhu and Huanzhu were all stunned when they heard the people who paid homage to the mansion.

Prince Wen?

How did this god come here?

Among the Ten Martial Kings of the Great Shang Dynasty, it may be a little controversial to say who is the most powerful, but if it is said that the person with the most noble status, it must be Prince Wen, a relative of the emperor.

"I'm going to entertain the guests."

After Huanzhu realized it, she immediately walked towards the front yard.

forecourt.

Prince Wen and Mu Jin came to the main hall led by servants of the mansion.

Huanzhu came over and saluted politely, "I have seen Prince Wen."

In the main hall, Mu Wenqing looked the young man in front of him up and down, and said calmly, "Li Jiaoxi doesn't need to be too polite."

He looks okay and has a good temperament, which is almost the same as imagined.

The person who gave his brother a headache would not be a mediocrity.

"Jiaoxi Li, is there a charcoal fire in the mansion? The prince is afraid of the cold."

Hibiscus felt the coldness in the hall and asked.

When Huanzhu heard the words, he was taken aback for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Yes, I will let people prepare."

Soon, servants from the mansion brought a brazier and put it beside Prince Wen.

In the hall, Mu Wenqing stretched out his hand and roasted it on the brazier, and said softly, "I made Teacher Li laugh."

"My lord speaks seriously."

Huanzhu narrowed her eyes slightly, and said, "I don't know what's the matter with the prince's visit?"

"It's nothing serious."

Mu Wenqing smiled and said, "Li Jiaoxi has been in the capital for more than three years. My king has heard about Li Jiaoxi for a long time, but he has never had the chance to see him. Today, I come to have a look."

"It's a real honor for Li Yuan to have such a distinguished guest as the prince." Huanzhu responded seamlessly.

Mu Wenqing looked at the young man in front of him, and said with a smile, "Li Jiaoxi has made great achievements for my Dashang many times, and this time he helped Dashang and the Wu Clan reach a settlement, which is indispensable. However, Li Jiaoxi doesn't seem to get what he deserves." Don't you feel aggrieved by the reward?"

At the end of the sentence, the atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became a little tense. Huanzhu frowned without showing any traces, and replied, "Doing what I can do for the big business is what I should do, and I don't feel wronged."

"Really?"

Mu Wenqing smiled lightly and said, "There are only the three of us here, and no one else will hear what we say. If this king wants to harm you, you can just make up some lies and don't need to be so troublesome."

"Sincerely."

Huanzhu restrained her mind and said seriously.

"Then it will be easy to talk about."

The smile on Mu Wenqing's face disappeared, and he said lightly, "Let's put it this way, this king has taken on a job that requires Li Jiaoxi's life, Li Jiaoxi, think about it?"
