The whole family shared the same hatred and enemy. Mu Sinian immediately sat down and started writing a letter to the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture.

Just then, there was a sudden movement outside the study.

Mu Sinian was the first to become alert. When he realized something was wrong, he immediately looked up and signaled everyone to keep quiet.

Mu Qingyu protected A Niang and Yao Yao behind him, looking at the door vigilantly.

Mu Sinian opened the door and took a quick look, but didn't see anyone. However, the moment he lowered his eyes, his sword-like brows suddenly frowned.

The people behind him heard the noise and came forward to take a look, and Mu Luan's pupils paused slightly.

A eunuch appeared from nowhere, with a rag stuffed in his mouth. He was tied up and forced to kneel on the stone steps in front of the study.

"Zhao Liang!" Mu Sinian asked in surprise.

The man called Zhao Liang raised his head, and his frightened eyes reflected the light pouring out of the study.

As if he had experienced something, his body couldn't stop shaking and his mouth made humming sounds, as if he was in a hurry to say something.

Mu Qingyu heard this and looked at him, "Dad knows this person?"

Mu Sinian didn't reply, but glanced sharply at a piece of black clothing that was slightly exposed behind the pillar under the eaves.

He shouted in a deep voice: "Who's there? Come out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the corner of the black clothing moved slightly.

The familiar color of the robe made Mu Luan hold his breath unconsciously.

Didn’t Jun Zhao leave?

How would it appear here?

Why would he send a man dressed as a eunuch here?

Is he planning to reveal his cards today?

Mu Luan froze, staring at the figure walking out of the darkness.

The person turned around slowly, his clothes moving slightly. Just when Mu Luan thought that his father and brother would see Jun Zhao's face, the face hidden in the darkness gradually emerged.

Mu Luan was startled, and her breathing became smoother.

The person who came was not Jun Zhao, but the secret guard who was seen in the secret room at the beginning.

Mu Sinian stared at him with cold eyes, protecting the three of them behind him, with a murderous aura all over his body.

"Who are you? What on earth are you doing here at night?"

Ying Qi met Mu Sinian's cold and intimidating eyes, and after a moment he looked at Mu Luan behind him.

Mu Luan raised her eyebrows slightly, not understanding why he was looking at her so innocently?

Yes, it was the first time that Mu Luan saw a helpless yet tough look on his face.

But in the eyes of others, it was considered as a conspiracy.

Noticing his gaze, Mu Sinian's eyes were as sharp as torches, and they were cold, as he moved to block Mu Luan's gaze.

Madam Mu also noticed the man's malicious gaze and pulled Mu Luan back.

Mu Qingyu stood beside Mu Sinian. Seeing the man in front of him sneaking into the mansion with a suspicious person, he tilted his head slightly and said, "Father, please call the guards in the mansion."

Mu Sinian raised his hand to stop and looked at the man silently.

Others don’t know who Zhao Liang is, but he knows.

The eunuch who serves the prince closely.

Didn’t Cao Mang say that all the people who followed the prince that day died?

Then who appeared in front of him at this time!

What did Cao Mang want to hide by deceiving the emperor?

His thoughts were turning over in his mind. After a few breaths, when he was about to speak again, a soft voice came from behind him.

"Dad, I know him."

A moment later, in the study.

The rag in Zhao Liang's mouth was taken out. He trembled his jaw that was about to be dislocated and said, "General, please save me. It was not my idea. It was the idea of ​​the Crown Prince and the seal holder. I was just following orders. It has nothing to do with me!"

Mu Sinian looked up at the man in black standing behind Zhao Gao and realized that something was wrong. He asked, "What's going on?"

Zhao Gao burst into tears, glanced at the people behind him, and said with trembling lips: "It is...it is the prince who wants to defile Miss Mu. The prince said that there are many people watching in the autumn hunt, so he ordered me to arrange a palace maid to lead Miss Mu to a remote bamboo forest hut.

After the matter is done, even if the matter is exposed, Miss Mu will be as shy as a rabbit, and will be pitiful and dare not speak out. At that time, Miss Mu will be kept outside the palace for His Highness to visit when he is out of the palace, oh..."

Mu Qingyu couldn't bear to listen any longer, and kicked Zhao Liang hard, then rushed forward and punched Zhao Liang in the face.

"Asshole, you are worse than an animal, you beast, I will beat you to death!"

Zhao Liang's hands and feet were tied, and he could only wail to vent the pain.

Unexpectedly, before he could shout halfway, the man in black quickly blocked his mouth with a rag.

In the blink of an eye, he was beaten by Mu Qingyu until his head was bleeding, it was a horrible sight.

Mu Luan's hands were tightly entangled under her sleeves.

This matter was planned by the prince from the very beginning.

But from Zhao Liang's words, it seemed that he didn't know about the arrow.

Wasn’t it the prince who poisoned the person?

I'm afraid the prince will never know until his death that there are so many eyes watching him and her behind the scenes.

Madam Mu was so angry that she was breathing heavily. She held Mu Luan in her arms and looked coldly at the eunuch who was beaten half to death on the ground by Mu Qingyu.

If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she really couldn't believe that a prince would actually do such a dirty thing. It was simply unbearable to hear.

Fortunately, Yao'er was fine, otherwise she would have gone up and kicked him a few times!

She tilted her head to look at her husband.

At this moment, the shock in Mu Sinian's eyes had not yet disappeared, and his hands, which had already been clenched into fists, had bulging veins and were trembling slightly.

This is the next monarch he will protect, and this is the reward he gets for his hard work and years of fighting on the battlefield.

He quelled the rebellion for the Great Zhou and protected the safety of the monarch.

But in the end it was all the emperor's suspicion.

The eunuchs were in power and joined forces with the Empress Dowager to bully his family. He didn't believe that the emperor was unaware of the whole thing.

In the assassination attempt four years ago, he tried his best to protect the emperor's life. This is what a subject should do, and he has no regrets even if it means sacrificing his own life.

However, when rewarding people for their merits later, the emperor used Yao'er's marriage to test his loyalty.

Although he was disheartened at that time, he also understood the emperor's situation.

He is upright and is not afraid of his own shadow or the emperor's temptation.

But four years later, if the prince had not been stabbed by an assassin, the one who would be heartbroken at this time would be his general's mansion.

If something really happened to Yao'er, how could he repay the man who saved his life back then!

Mu Sinian walked forward, pulled Mu Qingyu away, grabbed the rope tied to Zhao Liang's collar, and dragged him behind the screen like a beast.

Zhao Liang thought he was saved, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a cold sword waving before his eyes.

His pupils trembled violently, his whimpering was almost hoarse, and he struggled desperately to crawl out.

A low whimpering sound was heard. Mu Luan hadn't heard his father's voice for a long time. He was worried and was about to go over to check.

Just as he took half a step, Madam Mu grabbed his arm and said, "Your father will take care of it, don't go over there."

When Mu Luan was wondering what his father was going to do, he heard a puff of sound.
