Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Guard Shi regarded Murong Man as his savior and was obedient to her.

Little did he know that Murong Man had never been sincere to him and only regarded him as a pawn.

Shi's mother lives in a small alley, which is valuable for its purity and is suitable for people who need a rest to recuperate. Being able to find such a place in the capital shows that Shi Shi is very attentive to his mother.

He also bought a little maid to take care of his mother on weekdays.

At this moment, the little maid has just gone out to buy vegetables. This place is not close to the vegetable market. It takes about half an hour for the little maid to go back and forth.

This is what Yang Shan found out.

No wonder Murong Man went to Murong Qian's place first, and then estimated the time to come here. He must have asked Guard Shi inadvertently, and he had already made a thorough plan.

Murong Jiu did not go in. She was now in the second-story courtyard next door. Standing on the attic, she could have a clear view of the scene in the courtyard next door.

The sun is good today, and Shi Mu is basking in the sun on a deck chair in the courtyard.

"Where's the Stone Guard?"

Murong Jiu asked Zhou Li.

"Princess, Guard Shi has been gagged and tied up in the utility room."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door in the small courtyard.

"Who?"

Shi Mu sat up and coughed a few times.

The door was pushed open.

The little maid went out to buy groceries and did not lock the door.

Shi Mu was a little wary. She was unlucky and stood up tremblingly.

"Aunt, it's me, Murong Man. I wonder if Brother Shi has ever mentioned me to you?"

Murong Man walked in slowly and looked around first to make sure no one else was there.

She came alone, apparently trying to get rid of the two maids around her.

"It turns out that she is the second prince's concubine, a commoner woman who has come to welcome her from afar!"

Shi's mother was surprised. She didn't know why Murong Man came to her suddenly. Her son didn't tell her in advance.

In the utility room, after hearing Murong Man's voice, Guard Shi struggled wildly, trying to break free, but he was so disoriented that his whole body was weak and unable to make any movement.

He didn't know who knocked him unconscious and brought him here. He could see the scene outside through the narrow window of the utility room. He suspected that there was a conspiracy, or it was aimed at him and Murong Man. Otherwise, how could Murong Man appear here? What about here?

"You don't have to be polite. Brother Shi often mentions you to me. You are the person he cares about the most."

Murong Man stepped forward with a smile, and helped Shi Mu sit down with a very gentle attitude.

Shi Mu was more reserved, her old eyes looking at Murong Man's belly from time to time.

Murong Man smiled and touched his belly: "It seems that Brother Shi has told you about my pregnancy."

Shi Mu said quickly: "It is a great joy for the concubine to be pregnant with the grandson. My son is the second prince's most loyal guard. He is happy for the second prince and also shares his joy with the common women."

It seems that this old woman is not stupid. Murong Man likes knowledgeable people, but she will not change her mind because of this.

She said: "There are no other outsiders here, and you also know that this is your golden grandson. Brother Shi and I are actually in love with each other, but there is a huge difference in status."

When Guard Shi heard this, he was extremely anxious.

He thought this was a plot against them, and he brought Murong Man here just to make her tell the truth and let the second prince hear this fact.

However, no one rushed in to question or curse, and the yard was so quiet that only the breeze rustled through the leaves.

Mother Shi's face turned pale, her hands were trembling, and she kept whispering: "This is a serious crime of beheading! Concubine, you shouldn't have come! We are honest and do our duty. My son, he Confused!"

Murong Man's face was calm and expressionless, "Then you mean, I shouldn't have a child?"

<divclass="contentadv">Shi Mu didn’t dare to reply.

Murong Man thought that the old woman would be ecstatic when she saw him carrying her golden grandson. It would be best for her to commit suicide to avoid dirtying her hands.

Shi Mu was so sober that she was a little disgusted.

She suddenly sneered: "It's a pity that Brother Shi loves me so much that he is willing to die for me. Do you know what I came here to do today?"

Shi Mu was so frightened that she fell off her chair and backed away. But her legs and feet were not very agile, and she watched helplessly as Murong Man took out a dagger.

Guard Shi saw this scene from the narrow window and forgot about the struggle for a moment.

No, why would his beloved Man'er take out a dagger towards his mother? He didn't believe it, Man'er couldn't possibly kill his mother!

She is so kind, gentle, and considerate of others, so how could she kill someone?

Shi Mu ran away in a hurry, but her legs and feet were weak. She fell to the ground before taking two steps and could not run away.

She had no choice but to accept her fate: "Concubine, if you want to kill the old woman, you must also give the old woman a reason so that the old woman can die clearly."

"Okay, I'll let you be a sensible person."

Murong Man raised his lips and said, "Because I can't let the second prince know that the fetus in my belly is your son. It's as simple as that."

Of course, she would not be stupid enough to tell Shi Mu that she killed Shi Mu so that her son would be blinded by rage and willing to die. Although Shi Mu is old, she loves her son very much. If she finds out about it and fights back, it will be troublesome.

"If you want to blame, just blame your son for insisting on telling you this secret, otherwise I won't kill you."

When Shi Wei heard this, his face was filled with despair, but he suddenly remembered that he didn't tell Murong Man that he told his mother that she was pregnant with his child, how could Murong Man know?

Is this really the reason why she wants to kill her mother?

Shi Wei still found it unbelievable.

He even suspected that the woman in the courtyard was not Murong Man, but someone else pretending to be her.

But he was familiar with Murong Man's voice and body movements and couldn't deceive himself.

Mother Shi suddenly said excitedly: "After you killed me, are you going to kill my son? How can your daughter be so vicious! My son is sincere to you!"

Murong Man immediately went up and covered Shi Mu's mouth, fearing that her loud voice would attract outsiders.

Then she took out a rope from her arms and strangled Shi Mu's neck hard.

Rather than using a dagger, a rope was the best weapon to use to prevent blood splattering on her body that would be difficult to explain.

While exerting her strength, she sneered: "You're right, after you die, it will be your son's turn to accompany you soon! You two can be a good mother and son again in your next life!"

Shi Wei struggled wildly, trying to make a sound in his mouth to stop him, but his whole body was weak and he could not make any sound at all, nor could he stop Murong Man's movements.

He saw with his own eyes that the harshness in Murong Man's eyes seemed to be two different people from the gentle and kind Murong Man in his mind.

The stone mother is about to die.

At this moment, the sound of people talking was heard outside the alley.

Murong Man shook his hand and exerted force again. Seeing that Shi Mu was completely dead, he quickly picked up the murder weapon and hid it in his arms, and walked toward the door without changing his expression.

She leaned against the door and listened. The sound of the voices had faded away. Then she opened the door and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, she slowly walked out.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

"Someone come and save my mother!"

Shi Wei looked at his mother on the ground and shouted anxiously in his heart.

Suddenly, the door opened from the outside!

Guard Shi thought Murong Man had left and returned.
