The lady is reborn? The crazy villain kisses her forcefully and won't let go!

Something penetrated the skin and flesh, and the dull humming sound disappeared instantly.

Yingqi stood at the door, looking at everything behind the screen indifferently.

General Mu Da knew Zhao Liang personally, so he should know what this means.

Mu Sinian held a long sword in his hand, exuding the ferocity of someone who had been through many battles.

He shouted coldly, "Someone come here!"

In an instant, several soldiers rushed in from outside the door and surrounded Yingqi, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Yingqi remained motionless, his eyes dim.

Mu Luan was startled and subconsciously pushed A Niang's hand away, squeezed into the group of soldiers, and stood in front of Ying Qi.

Ying Qi kept the hidden weapons in his sleeves ready at all times, but he didn't expect a gentle arc to appear in front of him, and a moment of surprise flashed across his eyes.

"Daddy?"

Mu Luan followed the bloody sword in his father's hand and his eyes fell on the eunuch lying motionless on the ground. His body suddenly froze.

Her sudden appearance startled Mu Sinian. He put the bloody sword behind him, stepped forward, blocked the corpse on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Get out of the way."

Mu Luan's shoulders trembled, and he came back to his senses and asked softly, "Father, what are you doing?"

Mu Qingyu called out urgently, "Yaoyao, come here quickly."

Mu Luan didn't listen to Mu Qingyu and stood there without moving.

Mu Sinian looked at the person behind Mu Luan with fierce eyes, "He is your savior, and my general's mansion will not treat him unfairly, but he can't leave."

He knew too much, whether it was about the Eastern Palace or the General's Mansion.

He must keep the person and investigate whether there is any other purpose in saving Yao'er.

Mu Luan looked at the solemnity in his father's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Father, let him go. He won't hurt the Mu family."

Mu Sinian was suspicious. Yao'er's tone was so firm. Could it be that she knew the hidden truth?

"Dad, let him go."

Mu Luan spoke sincerely, and stared at the hesitation in his father's eyes with a determined gaze for a long time.

After a stick of incense, the bodies in the room were cleared away by the palace guards, and Ying Qi's figure was no longer visible in the heavy atmosphere.

Mu Sinian placed his hands on his knees, waiting for Yao'er's explanation.

This matter is of great importance, and leaving the man in black behind is a helpless move.

Although it was a bit despicable, as long as that person had no intention of harming the Mu family, he would definitely not harm his life.

They will even look for a suitable position around them and show respect to those who are more capable than them.

But looking at Yao'er's clear and determined expression, his heart softened and he let the person go.

Mu Luan said calmly, "Father just said that the Fourth Prince might be the most favorable candidate for the crown prince, but once he gains power, it will be like a sword hanging over the head of the Mu family, and this sword can take the lives of the Mu family at any time."

Mu Qingyu knew what his father meant, and continued, "That's why we have to investigate the person thoroughly. We should be grateful for the favor. If there are any people who have ill intentions, we can respond in time."

"He saved me, and with that trust, he brought the eunuchs around the crown prince here, but we detained them. We use the heart of a gentleman to judge the heart of a villain. This is not my father's style, nor is it the way of the Mu family."

Although Mu Luan was speaking for Ying Qi, only she understood that she was defending Jun Zhao and also reminding Jun Zhao.

Mu Qingyu was speechless for a moment. It was the first time he saw Yaoyao take something so seriously.

The appearance of the man in black appeared in front of my eyes. He was not outstanding, but not ugly either.

My heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Yaoyao wouldn't fall in love with someone just because he saved her life, right?

At this moment, Ying Qi, who was flying rapidly on the eaves, slipped and fell off the roof, bringing up a layer of gray rubble.

In the blink of an eye, he grabbed the eaves and managed to stabilize his body.

Before he could even catch his breath, a rough voice came from below, "Who is it? What's going on? I'm going to die. There's a hole in the sky in the middle of the night. Boss, why don't you go and take a look..."

"Don't pull my blanket. I'm naked. Who is so heartless? I'll kill you..."

Yingqi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, jumped up and jumped onto another roof.

In the blink of an eye, the figure disappeared.

In the study, Mu Sinian's expression eased a lot.

He was not afraid of the man in black gossiping outside, but he was afraid that his daughter would be wronged.

To Cao Mang, Zhao Liang was a dead man.

For the Mu family, he cannot live in this world.

As the saying goes, the dead are the greatest, not to mention that the one who died was the prince. If this matter is made public, it will do more harm than good to the prince.

Tying Yao'er's reputation to the dead prince, if the emperor uses this to threaten Yao'er's life, the Mu family will be at the mercy of others.

"Yao'er is right, it was father who lacked consideration," Mu Sinian smiled. He never thought that one day he would be taught a lesson by a junior.

Mu Luan looked at his father sighing helplessly and said softly, "Yao'er, you know that father did this for my own good, but has father ever considered other ways to keep the Mu family going for a long time?"

Mu Sinian raised his rough eyebrows slightly, and his deep gaze fell on Yao'er.

Mu Luan pursed her lips and said bluntly: "Father, have you ever thought that there might be someone who can compete with the Fourth Prince, such as the Nineteenth Prince."

"The nineteenth prince?"

Mu Qingyu was slightly surprised.

He subconsciously glanced at A Niang beside him.

A'niang shook her head calmly.

Mu Qingyu knew in his heart that since he had promised his parents to help them keep the secret, he would definitely keep his promise.

Moreover, in his heart, Yaoyao is a member of the Mu family and his biological sister.

Let’s not talk about the relationship between the Nineteenth Prince and Yaoyao for now.

However, he had heard of this Nineteenth Prince.

It is said that when he was nine years old, he accidentally fell off a cliff and died.

How can the dead fight the living?

He walked forward, placed the back of his hand lightly on Mu Luan's forehead, and after feeling it for a moment, he said, "It's not a fever. Why are you talking nonsense? The nineteenth prince died more than ten years ago. How could it be possible..."

He paused and looked suddenly at his father.

Could it be...

Mu Sinian had a complicated expression, his brows were tightly furrowed into several wrinkles.

Just then, hurried footsteps were heard in the corridor outside the study.

Mu Sinian immediately raised his hand to stop Mu Qingyu from asking the question.

After a while, the butler's voice sounded outside the door, "General, there is an urgent report from Yangcheng. The eldest master ordered someone to deliver it overnight."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's heart unconsciously lifted.

Mu Qingyu pretended to be relaxed and said, "Maybe my elder brother has already built the Lingqu Canal and sent a letter to report that he is safe."

Mu Luan glanced at her second brother's forced lips, then looked at her father's face which was even more solemn than before, and a feeling of uneasiness instantly came over her.

Mu Qingyu took the letter from the housekeeper and handed it to his father.

Mu Sinian read ten lines at a glance, but understood the contents of the letter clearly.
