My lord, I will be brought to justice!

The last ray of light gradually faded at dusk, and the crescent moon climbed onto Liushao unconsciously.The whole of Lingyang is plunged into the dark night, the stars are palpable, but they don't have the heart to watch them.

All the manpower available in Tianlan Pavilion has been summoned here, and there is no bustle in the daytime on the night street, and vaguely visible shadows are swaying.Unintentionally, a few autumn winds were blown up, and it was late autumn, and the chill gradually hit.

It took a long time to find Chu Tiankuo's whereabouts, seeing that it was getting late, Mu Aichen was very anxious.Ling Yang said that he was not big, he was not small, how could a big living person disappear without a trace. "Keep looking, door to door. No matter what, I have to find Ah Kuo tonight."

It's getting dark, and Ah Kuo will be lonely and scared when he is out alone...

Everyone wanted to set off as a team, and the autumn wind roared, mixed with the bitterness of the winter wind.Mu Ai's hair fluttered, her eyes looked around.How he wished that Ah Kuo would suddenly appear in front of him at this moment and say, "I'm back, let's go home!"

But there was still no familiar figure, and the lantern at the high pavilion was shaking.The figure under the moon elongated, and the sound of running footsteps touched the ground.Missing bursts, everywhere heart.

"Lord Mu, Your Majesty announces that Lord will enter the palace." Someone from the palace suddenly reported that his appearance was really inappropriate.Chu Tiankuo's whereabouts have not been found yet, and it is difficult for anyone to come.This time even if the emperor came in person, he would not waver.

"Now I have something important, go back and tell the emperor. We'll talk about it later." Mu Aichen said coldly without even looking at anyone.

"But the emperor said that the murderer who stole the Cloud Dragon Ball has been found. The murderer is... the closest person to Mr. Mu." The person who sent the message was calmed down by Mu Aichen's cold attitude, and felt a little timid in his heart.But the emperor has an order to bring Mr. Mu no matter what.The imperial order is hard to break, neither of the two parties is easy to offend...

Hearing that the person who stole the Cloud Dragon Ball was found, Mu Aichen was not moved.But when it came to the person closest to him, Mu Aichen paused, and Chu Tiankuo's appearance immediately flashed in his mind. "Could it be related to Ah Kuo?"

"Go, enter the palace." Mu Aichen ordered Beichen to lead the people to continue searching, this time entering the palace might be able to find the reason for Ah Kuo's disappearance.

He was not lost, but trapped and unable to get out.

Mu Aichen clenched his fists tightly and walked quickly into the palace.The distance to the palace is not very far, but Mu Aichen can't wait.Fortunately, he performed lightness kung fu, his toes were off the ground, and he jumped over the eaves.His figure moved like a ghost, and he disappeared for a moment.

The person who came here to deliver the message chased after him closely, watching Mu Aichen perform his lightness kung fu and leave first, he shouted helplessly: "Master Mu, you...you wait for the little one!"

Mu Aichen had already gone far away, no matter how loud he shouted, no one responded.

"Your Majesty—" Mu Aichen walked all the way to the entrance of the main hall with his toes on the ground.

Beside Xiao Yuyue was still Wu Chi and Prime Minister Wu, seeing Mu Aichen's panic-stricken appearance, he couldn't help laughing secretly, "Mu Aichen, you have today too. The good show that I have prepared is yet to come!"

"Aiqing is in such a hurry, I really feel sorry for you!" There was no shame in Xiao Yuyue's words, but she was mocking with cold eyes. "Aiqing, do you know that the person who stole the Cloud Dragon Ball has been captured?"

"Isn't the emperor summoning this minister to tell him about this matter?" Mu Aichen stared at Xiao Yunyue, although there was a distance between the two of them, he could feel the chill in his eyes.

"That's right. Does Chu Tiankuo know Aiqing?" Xiao Yuyue asked knowingly, just to see Mu Aichen's reaction to this.Wu Chi had just informed Xiao Yunyue of all the rumors in the market.Xiao Yuyue couldn't believe that the man in front of him who was as cold as a fairy could be a man with broken sleeves.Such an unethical and despised thing could be done by his most trusted courtier?

"I know. Ah Kuo is the most important person in my life, I only love him in this life." Mu Aichen replied without thinking.The emperor mentioned Ah Kuo's name here, there must be something hidden.He couldn't help looking at Wu Chi beside him, Wu Chi was gloating.

Seeing Mu Aichen's cold gaze, Wu Chi didn't dare to look at him.Hastily shifted his gaze elsewhere, secretly said: "See how much longer you can be arrogant?"

Xiao Yuyue got up suddenly when he heard this, he was holding his chest and couldn't say a word "You...you...".Seeing this, Wu Chi hurried forward to help him, "Your Majesty, please don't get angry. Come on, this old minister will help you sit down."

After a while, Xiao Yuyue said: "It is said that the owner of the Tianlan Pavilion likes men, and the habit of breaking sleeves is not an exaggeration. At first I didn't believe it, you...you actually..." Speaking of this, Xiao Yuyue Don't get angry.It is really indecent for a dignified and important minister to like masculinity.

"I just like one person, so it has nothing to do with whether he is a man or a woman, and his identity? Is it because I like a man that I will be despised by the world?"

Seeing that Mu Aichen had no intention of repenting and admitting his mistakes, Xiao Luyue became even more annoyed. "Okay! I'll let you see today, what have you done to the person you keep saying you love?" Xiao Yuyue threw a key from her bosom, which was the key that opened the door of Minghe Palace, and it was also the key The one lost by the Chief Eunuch.

Mu Aichen glanced at the ground, but didn't pick it up, and said coldly, "What's wrong with the key?"

"The key is the one that was lost in the Hall of Minghe, but it appeared on Chu Tiankuo's body. Aiqing, do you think this is a coincidence?"

Mu Aichen raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Yunyue, which was almost the same as what he expected.Didn't taking out the key mean that Ah Kuo was the thief who stole the Cloud Dragon Ball? "Your Majesty, it's just a key, which can't explain anything? Maybe someone discarded this key and just picked it up by chance."

"Coincidence? What a coincidence." Xiao Yuyue has never been so angry, and there is no one who dares to talk back to him except Mu Aichen.I thought it was tolerance for him, but I didn't expect him to be so presumptuous today.The king is always the king, and the minister is always the minister. How can we be friends if we have different identities and positions?

"Is it a coincidence that the Pisces jade pendant is on him?"

Pisces Jade Pendant, Pisces Jade Pendant again.Mu Aichen said: "That jade pendant belongs to Ah Kuo. The emperor just wants to say that Ah Kuo is the thief who stole the Yunlongzhu. But in everything, we should not just listen to the traitor's words, but also pay attention to evidence."

The traitor Mu Aichen mentioned was Wu Chi, and Prime Minister Wu had always regarded himself as a thorn in his side.I didn't hesitate to care about it, and Mu Aichen turned a blind eye to the little tricks he did secretly.But today, he dared to touch Ah Kuo behind his back...

"Did the emperor find the Yunlongzhu on A Kuo?"

"I haven't found it." Of course Xiao Yuyue also knew that the evidence was insufficient, but his relationship with Mu Aichen was also a death penalty.What's more, Chu Tiankuo still has half of the Pisces jade pendant hidden on his body, which is full of doubts.

"Yunlongzhu is related to the safety of the country. Even if I kill a thousand by mistake today, I will not let one go."

According to the emperor's will, A Kuo will be identified as a thief no matter whether there is evidence or not.Stealing Yunlongzhu is even a dead end. Thinking of this, Mu Aichen's face darkened, "Is that why the emperor wants to put Ah Kuo to death?"

"When I execute a person, it's as simple as crushing an ant. Does it mean that if I want to execute someone, I need to ask like you?"

Xiao Yunyue was full of anger and anger, and her face was fierce. At this moment, Mu Aichen deeply realized that what she was facing was the king of the country.Perhaps because he was too conniving with his behavior, Mu Aichen gradually forgot about the majesty of the emperor, the fate of a king can determine life and death.In front of the dragon, all things are but sand and stones to play with.Human life is more trivial, but fortunately Xiao Luyue is not a fool, but why is he punishing Ah Kuo so severely today.

But Ah Kuo is the most cherished person of this official, if the emperor wants to punish him, this official cannot ignore him. "

"He is really so important, you would rather be against me for him, would you rather be an enemy of the entire Jingshui country? Let Lang Lang not leave his official career, insist on challenging my patience, you really are my dear love!"

Mu Aichen is very clear that he has the grace of saving the emperor's life, and the emperor has the grace of knowing him.In the eyes of the emperor, he never treated himself as a courtier, but as a confidant and friend.

"The affairs of the country are too grand, and the humble minister's heart is too narrow. He can't save the people of the Li people, and he can't make the country stable. There is only one person in my heart. His position in my heart is unmatched. The minister is the enemy of the world, and the minister has no complaints or regrets."

"Your Majesty exempts my ministers from kneeling and worshiping. I have never begged Your Majesty. Akuo is definitely not the one who stole the Yunlongzhu. Please let Your Majesty let Akuo go home. I am still waiting for him."

Mu Aichen's knees gradually bent, and when they hit the icy ground, they made a heavy sound, which echoed in the hall.Just this sound, a little empty and deserted.If Ah Kuo can be rescued today, even if he goes up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​flames, he will not hesitate.

Xiao Yuyue looked at Mu Aichen who was kneeling in the hall, and became even angrier.Mu Aichen is a bohemian person, never afraid of power.He looked at the world with cold eyes, and never put anyone in his eyes.Even if he is the emperor himself, he never fears or flatters him.As if all the rich and famous in this world are worthless in his eyes, when he went to visit and accepted him as an official, he really spent a lot of effort.

But today...he actually fell out with me because of a Chu Tiankuo, for Chu Tiankuo's sake, he did not hesitate to put down his dignity, and knelt on the ground begging for help.

Seeing things getting worse and worse, Wu Chi kept cheering in his heart.He will be happy to see anything that is not good for Mu Aichen. "It seems that using Chu Tiankuo as a target is indeed the right choice."

Xiao Yuyue didn't want to say anything more, she let out a cold snort and flung her sleeves away. "If you like to kneel, go outside and kneel, so I won't be an eyesore."

Mu Aichen got up without saying a word, and went outside the door.Kneeling silently in front of the door again, the patrolling soldiers passed by and talked one after another.Mu Aichen turned a deaf ear to it, Akuo's safety was more important than his own.He didn't believe that the emperor would be so cruel, if his actions could save Ah Kuo, no matter what he did, he would have no regrets.

The stars in the night sky twinkle and blink slightly.The wind of the cold night hit his neck, freezing his whole body, this coolness made Mu Aichen more awake.

White sleeves fluttered in the wind.The person I want to protect is my only companion in this life, and I will love him until death.
