But he couldn't. Now he was not in the capital. Even if he revealed his identity after killing Mu Bo, no one would believe it.

Besides, the emperor thinks highly of Mu Bo. If he really kills this bastard, the emperor will not let him go.

He has to use someone else's knife to kill someone!

Mu Bo had the same idea. He looked at Lu Yu coldly and said silently, "Get lost!"

Lu Yu immediately stood up, bowed to him, and walked out of the room with half of his face swollen.

Chen Xi had been guarding outside the door. Seeing his appearance, he felt a little sympathetic, but he didn't say much. He just stood obediently at the door, guarding it on the left and right with Zhou Yan.

After Lu Yu left, Zhou Yan glanced at the nonchalant Chen Xi, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, but then disappeared.

"Go call Qiu Fei'er!"

Mu Bo was furious and needed to vent, so by the time Miss Qiu arrived, he had already smashed everything in the house. Miss Qiu was terrified, but she still knelt down and saluted him.

"I pay my respects to His Highness!"

"Snapped!"

Mu Bo slapped Miss Qiu without warning. Miss Qiu screamed in pain and fell to the ground. The ground was covered with broken porcelain pieces. She accidentally cut her palm and blood gushed out.

Miss Qiu was in so much pain that she burst into tears. She held her hands and looked up at Mu Bo, only to see that he was disheveled, with a fierce look in his eyes and a very crazy look. He grabbed her up again.

"You all lied to me! You all lied to me! Why did you do this to me? Why?"

As Mu Bo spoke, he tore Miss Qiu's clothes off roughly. Miss Qiu fell all over the place, and red marks soon appeared on her fair skin.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you? I'm Fei'er! Please don't be like this, Fei'er is scared, Your Highness!"

Miss Qiu screamed in horror, hoping to bring Mu Bo back to his senses.

But Mu Bo's eyes were already red with anger at this time. He didn't care and just thought Miss Qiu was being noisy, so he slapped her again.

This time, Miss Qiu was completely knocked unconscious, but she was only unconscious for a moment before she was woken up by the pain.

She opened her eyes and saw Mu Bo whipping her with a whip. The pain made her struggle immediately, but her limbs were tied and her mouth was stuffed with clothes, so she could neither escape nor shout.

Miss Qiu felt that this afternoon seemed like a lifetime. When Mu Bo came out of the room, Miss Qiu was covered in blood and had fainted.

"Zhou Yan, get her away!"

Mu Bo's face was gloomy. He glanced at the bed with fatigue and disgust, and waved at Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan immediately came to the bed. When he saw Miss Qiu's miserable appearance, his pupils couldn't help shrinking, but he still wrapped her with the bed curtain, picked her up and left the room.

……

Kyoto, Shogun's Palace.

Xiao Ruge read the letter in her hand, lit it with a fire stick, then asked Bai Zhi to make a steamed fish and a braised meatball, and then picked up the storybook to continue reading.

I heard that Mu Huan was going back to the capital, and that he was accompanied by the chiefs of the Qiang, Hu and Yi people. Mu Gu was assigned by the emperor to receive the envoys, so he was a little busy these two days.

The day before yesterday, they went to the Third Prince's residence to attend the full moon banquet. Because he was the eldest grandson of the royal family, the full moon banquet was held with great ceremony, and even Concubine Chun came out of the palace in person to congratulate him.

Concubine Zhao also left the palace with this excuse, and went to Prince Bao's mansion with Mu Bo to stay for one night before returning. The emperor did not say anything about this. Instead, after Concubine Zhao returned, she asked the emperor which fiefdom should be arranged for Mu Bo.

The emperor was very pleased with the mother and son's tactful behavior. However, he was worried that Mu Gu would raise private soldiers after receiving his fiefdom, so he had not yet agreed to let Mu Bo go to his fiefdom.

Previously, children disappeared in the village near Guanyin Temple, and the emperor sent Ao Qing to investigate in person, but it was not known whether the people who kidnapped the children heard any rumors and disappeared since then.

However, Ao Qing was very capable and found a cave in a valley somewhere. There were signs of human activities inside, but when they chased after them, the people had already run away, so they had to return empty-handed in the end.

Because of this, the emperor would get angry every day when he went to court.

At the same time as the child was missing, Pei Yun came yesterday and suddenly said something that made Xiao Ruge a little concerned.

He said that recently some people have been asking where there are pregnant women who are about to give birth.

Xiao Ruge's eyes were fixed on the storybook, but her mind had already flown to this matter.

Why would anyone ask about this?

Could it be related to the missing children case?

Xiao Ruge put down the notebook in her hand and called Bai Song in.

"Miss."

Bai Song stopped at the door.

"Pei Yun said that recently there are strange people asking about women who are about to give birth. Send a few people to secretly find out who they are. Why are they asking about pregnant women?"

Bai Song nodded in agreement and turned to leave.

"Miss, the prince sent someone to tell you that he won't be back for lunch. Here are the milk cakes and snowflake crisps I brought back for you!"

Xiaoshuang walked in with a food box, smiling.

Xiao Ruge looked up and found that the little girl was wearing a pearl flower made of colored glass beads in her hair. It looked very beautiful and delicate. She couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Xiaoshuang felt her gaze and her face turned pale. She touched the pearl flower in her hair timidly and looked at Xiao Ruge cautiously.

"Miss, slave..."

She murmured and dared not speak, for fear that if she accepted something from someone else, the lady would think she was being indecent.

Xiao Ruge pinched a piece of milk cake to eat. Bai Zhi happened to come back at this time. She asked the two maids to share a piece and asked softly, "Who sent it?"

Although he asked this question, his eyes were filled with curiosity.

Bai Zhi didn't understand what was going on until Xiao Ruge pouted and asked her to look at the pearl flowers on Xiaoshuang's head, and then she discovered the clue.

"Ouch! When did you buy this pearl flower? You weren't wearing it an hour ago!"

Bai Zhi's words instantly exposed Xiao Shuang's behavior. Because she did not go out today, Xiao Shuang's face turned blue and red, and the half piece of milk cake in her hand was deformed by her.

Seeing that Xiao Ruge and Bai Zhi were looking at her, Xiao Shuang knelt down with a plop, looked at Xiao Ruge with tears in her eyes, and said: "Miss, Xiao Shuang did not betray you, Xiao Shuang..."

"What are you doing? Get up quickly. I didn't say anything to you. I'm just curious about where you got this pearl flower."

Xiao Ruge felt that Xiao Shuang should have a suitor. As her master and having lived two lives, Xiao Ruge felt that it was his obligation to keep an eye on Xiao Shuang.

Who knew that I didn't explain it clearly, which caused Xiaoshuang to misunderstand.

Seeing that Xiao Ruge was not angry, Xiao Shuang wiped away the tears from her eyes, lowered her head and said with a blushing face: "Brother Dali gave it to me. I only accepted it this time. Really, I swear!"
