The lady is reborn? The crazy villain kisses her forcefully and won't let go!
Chapter 29: Dongchang Household Died in the Suburbs of Beijing
The next day, Mu Luan got up late again.
Last night, she dreamed of Jun Zhao for the first time ever. This was also the first time she dreamed of this man after her rebirth.
In the dream, she was still like a kite without freedom, following Jun Zhao.
Jun Zhao was dressed in a black brocade robe embroidered with gold, with an ink-black waist belt tightly fastened around his slender waist. His every move exuded the noble and dark aura of a king.
He is still crazy as ever.
All the remnants of the prince's followers were slaughtered, the empress was deposed and banished to the cold palace to fend for herself, and the Minister of Rites' residence was raided, and all the people in the residence, regardless of age, were exiled to the frontier to do hard labor as men, and demoted to the Music Bureau to become prostitutes for generations.
In the Golden Palace, he had an indifferent expression, one foot on the dragon throne, one hand on the hilt of a sword inlaid with blue jade, and kneeling below him were the trembling ministers in the hall.
"Whose turn is next?"
His carefree and deep voice was as captivating as the sharp sword in his hand.
The whole room was silent and the sound of falling leaves could be heard.
The long sword that controlled life and death waved and pointed at a person in the hall at random. Jun Zhao said slowly, "Is it you?"
"It's you?"
"still……"
He paused, his eyes like black ice narrowed, and his sharp sword suddenly moved towards where Mu Luan was floating.
Mu Luan was startled and woke up from his dream with sweat all over his body, gasping for breath.
Yin Xin heard the noise in the inner room and hurried in to check, "Is the young lady awake?"
As she spoke, she lifted the curtain and saw Mu Luan's face was soaked with sweat, with strands of hair sticking to her slightly pale face.
Yin Xin asked worriedly, "Miss, are you feeling unwell somewhere? Do you want to see a doctor?"
After a long silence, Mu Luan's frightened heart gradually calmed down, and then he shook his head and said, "No need."
The pair of sharp eyes in the dream lingered in my mind for a long time.
Sure enough, nothing good happens every time I meet Jun Zhao!
At this time, a soft voice sounded from the outer room, calling "Yao'er?"
Mu Luan raised her eyes and looked outside, and saw A Niang walking towards the bed with slightly flustered steps.
He frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Did you start feeling uncomfortable last night?"
Mu Luan shook her head, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "It's okay, mother, I'm just haunted by a nightmare."
When Madam Mu heard this, her expression became even more solemn. She turned to the maid and ordered, "Go get the doctor quickly."
The maid took the order and hurried out of Shaoguang Courtyard.
When Madam Mu looked back at Mu Luan, the pity in her eyes was even stronger. She scolded in a low voice: "Child, you didn't tell me that you were not feeling well. I just met your second brother and heard him say that you have been a little listless since last night. You didn't ask anyone to inform me. Did you deliberately want me to worry?"
Mu Luan's eyes flickered slightly. Judging from her mother's expression, her second brother probably didn't say anything else.
When Mrs. Mu saw her daughter hanging her head, she thought she had said something too harsh and couldn't help but regret it.
Just as I was about to say a few words of comfort, I heard her say, "Mother, don't worry, I'm fine. I just can't sleep well at night. I heard that Huaguang Temple in the west of the city is quiet and peaceful, and the scenery is very pleasant. I want to stay there for a while in a few days, listen to the Buddhist chants at night, and ward off evil spirits and blessings."
Mu Luan thought about it for a long time last night. She needed to investigate the matter of the Black Corpse Pill and hide it from her father, brother and mother. Leaving the house was the best decision.
Madam Mu thought for a moment, raised her hand to tuck the strands of hair on the side of Mu Luan's face behind her ear, and nodded, "Alright, go to the temple to stay for a while to recuperate. Mother will give the order now. After I have explained the affairs of the mansion, I will go to Huaguang Temple with you."
Mu Luan's face changed slightly, and she quickly grabbed her mother's hand, "Mother, I can go alone. If you accompany me to Huaguang Temple, what about my father and brother?"
Madam Mu said: "Your father and brother can take care of themselves..."
Mu Luan interrupted, "No, everyone in the mansion is counting on my mother. Moreover, my father works hard every day. If he doesn't see his wife when he comes home at night, wouldn't he be extremely sad and lonely?"
She said this without blushing or getting nervous, but instead made her mother embarrassed, "Your father would never..."
"Mother, don't worry. I'm just going to relax. At most, I can ask my brother to take me to Huaguang Temple!"
Finally, Mu Luan persuaded A Niang with a lot of persuasion.
Mu Luan got up, took a shower and changed clothes. After finishing her meal, she told Yin Xin to start packing up.
Today, his father and brother are on holiday, so Mu Luan thought of going to say hello to his eldest brother first.
But as soon as I walked to the front yard, I saw my father and brother rushing back from outside with serious faces.
Mu Luan stepped forward and called out to Mu Luoheng, who was a few steps behind him, and said, "Brother, what happened?"
Mu Luoheng exhaled heavily, and even slowed down his tone and said, "The eunuch Xuchang, the captain of the East Factory, died in the suburbs of Beijing last night. My father and I changed into official uniforms and rushed over."
After all, it was a murder case, so it was not easy to talk too much about it with Mu Luan, and Mu Luan tactfully did not ask any more questions.
As for the eunuch Xuchang, the captain of the Eastern Depot, she had no impression of him.
However, the suburbs of Beijing...
That place seems to be not far from Youming Inn...
It is unknown whether it was homicide or an accident.
Because Mu Sinian and Mu Luoheng were busy investigating the matter in Xuchang, Mu Luan's plan to go to Huaguang Temple had to be postponed.
It was not until ten days later, when Mu Luan was delivering calming soup to her father and brother on behalf of her mother, that she accidentally overheard the conversation between the two in the study.
Mu Luoheng analyzed: "They couldn't even piece together a complete corpse. If it wasn't for the heavy snow that day, the scene would have been even more bloody and terrifying."
Mu Sinian said in a deep voice: "Since it was an accident, Xu Chang can only accept his fate."
Mu Luoheng was puzzled. "Wolves usually stay away from the prosperous capital. How come they suddenly appeared in the suburbs of Beijing and attacked people?"
Mu Sinian said: "There are no signs of fighting at the scene, only claw marks left by wild wolves. Food is scarce in the snowy mountains, and perhaps these wolves were forced to do so."
Mu Luoheng nodded, but changed his mind and felt relieved. "Xu Chang has always acted in a high-profile manner because of his status as a thousand households. Now it can be considered as retribution. On the contrary, it was the Fourth Prince who lost a useful weapon."
Mu Sinian interrupted his son, "This is not something you and I can discuss. The follow-up of this matter will be handed over to the Dali Temple, and it should be closed soon. You should also prepare yourself. You may have to go north with me after the New Year."
"Heading north?" Mu Luoheng was surprised. "Did something happen at the border?"
Mu Sinian shook his head and said, "We are just strengthening our defenses. We don't need to be afraid of the barbarians and small countries. But if His Majesty personally recruits troops, you and I will have to follow his orders and go."
The snow outside the door fell from the eaves with a click, and Mu Luan's heart sank.
In the previous life, it was clearly the winter solstice of the 16th year of the Great Zhou Dynasty that my father and brother received the imperial edict to lead troops to Mobei.
How come this life happened a whole year earlier?
On second thought, if even such a bizarre thing as her rebirth could happen, it was understandable that her father and brother led their troops to Mobei suddenly earlier.
She hadn't found out anything yet, and the end of the world was about to come. The time she had left suddenly became extremely tight.
