After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Yan Mu was confused, but Liu Yunxiang knew.

The emperor is testing him. His mother suffered the same fate as Mrs. Hou, and he and Mrs. Hou's unborn child are in the same situation. If he is pretending to have amnesia, then after investigating the case clearly, if he does not expose the emperor's scandal , the emperor can trust him. If he is exposed, then he will have no loyalty to the emperor, and keeping him will be a disaster.

Hongxuan just smiled and said, "Your Highness will know the answer after he recovers his memory."

He took a sip of tea and continued: "Although the Emperor values ​​the child in Mrs. Hou's belly, a child actually does not pose any threat to Shangguan Xu. On the contrary, it is you, Your Highness. How can I trip you up? This is a An excellent opportunity. As long as you investigate this case, find out about the emperor, reveal the emperor's scandal, and let his majesty fall to the ground, then the emperor will hate His Highness and even kill him regardless of the consequences. The emperor's majesty falls to the ground, and His Highness has been eradicated again, killing two birds with one stone, this game of chess can be described as brilliant."

Yan Mu sneered, "Han Zicheng killed Nian'er, but before he could dispose of the body, an official came to the door, saying he wanted to catch a thief, but the thief failed to catch him and found Nian'er's body. It must not have been such a coincidence. Also because The arrival of the official messenger disrupted Shangguan Xu's arrangements and gave the sixth girl a chance to escape."

Having said this, Yan Mu looked at Hongxuan and said, "You must be the one to report to the official."

Hongxuan raised his eyebrows, "Has His Highness guessed all this?"

"Other than you, no one else will know so clearly."

"Then please guess, Your Highness, why I caused such a stink?"

"To save people?" Yan Mu snorted, "No, you sympathize with all living beings but are also indifferent. You want to save the world, but the lives of the people in the world are expendable in your eyes. You did save Miss Six, but your purpose is actually It’s just disrupting the game of chess.”

"Oh?"

"You want to surrender to me, this is sincerity."

Hongxuan smiled, "Knowing that there are pits ahead, you can still forge ahead, fill the pits, and walk out of the smooth river. This is the ability. I stood on the outside and watched how His Highness strategized, and I knew that my choice was right. Liang A bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a wise minister chooses his master to do his work. I have seen His Highness’ ability, and I should also let Your Highness see my sincerity, right?”

"The murderer of the two murder cases has been arrested and brought to justice. The missing sixth girl has been found. The emperor's scandal has not yet been revealed. In this way, His Highness wins the game." Hongxuan poured another cup of tea and pushed it to Yan Mu, " I don't have all the abilities to reach heaven, but I can still be considered to have some extraordinary qualities."

Yan Mu drank the cup of tea and hummed softly: "It's a pity that your bird wants to fly too high, and I don't have such high branches. You should choose another wise master."

After saying that, Yan Mu pulled Liu Yunxiang up and led her out.

Liu Yunxiang looked back at Hongxuan. He didn't show a trace of disappointment. He was still smiling and looking very confident, as if he could predict that Yan Mu would come back today and that Yan Mu would extend an olive branch to him the next day.

After leaving the Zen room, Yan Mu thought for a moment and headed towards the bamboo forest in the backyard of the Taoist temple.

"What are we doing there?" Liu Yunxiang asked as he followed Yan Mu.

"Mrs. Hou is in poor health and the fetus in her belly is in danger. If she wants to save her, there must be a doctor by her side. This doctor was arranged by the emperor. In order to prevent him from leaking the news, he must be hiding."

Liu Yunxiang didn't understand at first, but after thinking for a moment, he suddenly said, "Zhou Lihuai!"

"Ah."

Mrs. Zhou said that he was summoned by the palace and said he was going to another place. He left overnight. There has been no news for two months.

Walking through the bamboo forest path, Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but think of the man in black who cut off the bamboo to prevent them from investigating, and the man in black who shot Han Zicheng to prevent him from telling the truth. They should be the same person. And it seems that this person's identity will soon become clear.

When they arrived at the courtyard behind the bamboo forest, the courtyard door was open, as was the door to the main room. When the two of them went in, there was no one inside, and the people in the room were obviously leaving in a hurry and didn't even bother to close the door. But in the house, they found a lot of medicinal materials, most of which were tonics.

"He..." Liu Yunxiang pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up, "He went to Zhuangzi!"

The old lady and the eldest princess took the doctor to Zhuangzi, and they must have discovered that Madam Hou was pregnant. Madam Hou could not resist and might have recruited the emperor. She was very weak and emotionally unstable. She couldn't bear the fuss, so the emperor's people let Zhou Lihuai pass.

"Let's go to Zhuangzi too."

Liu Yunxiang's eyes widened, "You are crazy. If you expose this, the Emperor will hate you to death!"

Yan Mu shook his head, "Don't worry, someone will stop us."

Liu Yunxiang changed his mind and no longer stopped Yan Mu, and followed him out of the yard. There is a path going down the mountain to the west. That day they saw Han Zicheng and two other people. Those two people should be Mrs. Hou and Nanny An next to her, so this mountain road leads to Zhuangzi.

By this time, the rain had stopped and the mountain road was slippery. Liu Yunxiang grabbed Yan Mu's arm and walked down. When they were about to reach the back door of Zhuangzi, a sharp arrow suddenly shot over and rushed past them, forcing them to stop.

Apparently the person who shot the arrow didn't mean to hurt them, just to stop them.

Yan Mu twitched the corner of his mouth and shouted: "Lan Xiang is dead, and one of his arms was chopped off. I suspect that the murderer is Mrs. Hou's adulterer, and maybe the adulterer is in Zhuangzi now. I will go over now." , you can catch people.”

He shouted to continue walking down, when a man in black rushed out of the forest, holding a wooden stick, and started fighting with Yan Mu. He didn't hurt Yan Mu's heart, and Yan Mu didn't hurt his heart. The two of them fought, but they just killed some time.

Yan Mu took a step back and let out a long sigh, "The eldest princess and Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis are on Zhuangzi. Do you think you can hide it?"

"They won't tell."

This sound was a female voice, and Liu Yunxiang confirmed his suspicion.

"Maybe we can't either." Liu Yunxiang said.

"I don't trust you."

"Sixth girl, it's not that we don't know how to tell it, it's that we don't dare."

Because of these words, the masked man in black was stunned for a moment, "How could you guess my identity?"

Yan Mu was amused, "He tried his best to cover up the scandal between Madam Hou and the Emperor, and did not hesitate to kill people to expose himself. Naturally, the only one who has been deeply educated by Madam Dingyuan is the Sixth Girl, who values ​​the reputation of the Hou Mansion more than her own life."

The man in black touched her for a while, then took off his veil, revealing a pretty face. She was none other than Han Sifu, the sixth girl from Dingyuan Hou Mansion.

"You won't enter Zhuangzi, you just want to force me to show up." She stamped her feet angrily, acting like a little daughter.

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "You are able to keep your composure."

"What can I do? If this matter is exposed, our Dingyuan Marquis Mansion will lose face. My mother will probably be angry to death."

Liu Yunxiang looked at the little girl and found blood stains on her sleeves and legs, and asked, "Is someone chasing you?"
