Your Majesty, I am not worthy

The rare warm winter sun was pouring down, and it could pass through the window casement and crowd the people on the table.

It took nearly an hour for the meal to finish, and when Rong Mu saw that everyone was full, he exchanged a few words and sent them all down to the top floor of Zuixian Tower.

But just after sending everyone away, Song Du came in: "My lord, the boss of Zuixianlou wants to pay a visit."

"The boss of Zuixianlou?" Rong Mu was surprised.

Song Du thought of the hesitant man outside just now: "The boss' name is Zhou Qu, and he should have something to report to the adults, with an eager look on his face."

Rong Mu thought for a moment, then replied: "Then let's see each other."

Just for this table of delicious food on a jade plate, Rong Mu would also like to stay and meet the owner of this drunk building.

Then Rong Mu was led by the boy from the Zuixian Tower to a quiet room in the backyard, a middle-aged man in a brown robe was leaning against the window, and the room was full of rich plum fragrance.

The middle-aged man was Zhou Qu, the owner of Zuixianlou. When he saw the person coming, Zhou Qu's eyes immediately flashed with light, "Cao Min sees the prime minister!"

Between Zhou Qu's words, there was a hint of weeping.

Rong Mu raised his eyebrows: "Excuse me."

He was still wearing a brown and white cloak, half of his face was covered by the plush, Zhou Qu only dared to take a look at him and immediately lowered his eyes.

Seeing that the person in front of him had something to say but looked cautious, Rong Mu tilted his head and smiled and said: "Today I need to thank you, Boss Zhou, the food in Zuixianlou is the best in the entire Haojing, it can be called a table Hard to find."

Being praised by Rong Mu in this way, the corners of Zhou Qu's mouth pulled out a hard twitch, and boldly met Rong Mu's eyes, Xu found that Rong Mu did not have the arrogant character of those literati officials, Zhou Qu was relieved, and tentatively opened the mouth.

"Actually, the grassroots have something to ask for today..."

When Rong Mu heard the words, he only felt it in his heart.

"You say so."

Zhou Qu rubbed his hands, pursed his chapped lips tightly, and felt nervous and anxious: "Caomin has a friend, but he has been involved in a lawsuit recently, he was wronged, and he will definitely not do something that would kill someone to silence him." Something is coming! Cao Min wants to ask the prime minister..."

Before the person in front of him finished speaking, Rong Mu only felt ripples in his heart.

Could it be that the person Zhou Qu mentioned was Major General Hua Huaiyin?

Sure enough, when Rong Mu listened to Zhou Qu's words, Zhou Qu's so-called friend was really Hua Huaiyin.

Zhou Qu also knew that Hua Huaiyin's matter was difficult.

He and Hua Huaiyin were good friends who had been friends for a long time. Now that his friend has been wronged and is about to go to jail, how can he stand idly by?

The banquet on the top floor today was reserved for his friends to negotiate with those civil servants.But those officials declined each other and rejected the invitation to the meal openly and secretly.

The meaning of this is very subtle.

Coincidentally, the prime minister suddenly set up such a table in their drunken fairy building, and brought those officials back together again.

So this opportunity was once in a lifetime, Zhou Qu bit the bullet and begged the person in front of him.

But Rong Mu's silence chilled Zhou Qu's heart, which was originally hot and hot. The Prime Minister had originally responded to him with a smile, but now that he had finished speaking, the smile on his face disappeared.

Whether this case can be handled or not is put aside for now, the most important thing right now is that this case is not under Rong Mu's control.

Rong Mu knew how much Chu Yuheng hated people meddling in his affairs.

What's more, Chu Yuheng just beat him not long ago, telling him to let go of some court affairs. If he wants to follow Chu Yuheng's mind now, he should do his duty, and don't look around on these things that shouldn't be taken care of.

It's not like Chu Yuheng can't do the thing of killing donkeys.

After following Chu Yuheng for so many years, Rong Mu knew very well how cruel Chu Yuheng was to court officials and how vicious his methods were.

At this time, it is safest to protect yourself wisely.

But even with a clear idea in mind, Rong Mu still felt his chest tremble, and the scene of having a drink with Hua Huaiyin at the Prime Minister's Mansion that day came into view.

The general's sincerity was enthusiastic in front of him, and now facing the eager middle-aged man in front of him, Rong Mu asked calmly.

"You have no blood relationship with the major general, why are you willing to do this for him?"

"Blood relationship?" Zhou Qu was stunned, and quickly replied: "Cao Min and the Major General forget their friendship for years. It's a little reckless, but the heart is good, and I will never do such a thing as killing people!"

The more he talked, the more anxious Zhou Qu became. At the end of the day, Zhou Qu's face was already red, and his face was covered with beads of sweat.

A gust of wind blows in through the window, carrying the smell of snow-covered dirt outside, but more of the aroma of plum blossoms.

Rong Mu listened to himself, then turned his head to the side, his Liuli eyes stared at Lin Han Aoxue's red plums in the window with a little surprise.

But within a few breaths, Rong Mu was blown by the sudden cold wind and coughed.

Zhou Qu was anxious, seeing the nobleman in front of him cough until his eyes were red, only then did he notice the pale complexion of the prime minister, and hurriedly tried to close the window with rough hands and feet.

But before he raised his arm, Rong Mu stopped him.

Rong Mu's white palace robe covered the tip of his red nose, but his gaze was still on the red plum.

This red plum is very similar to the one in Chu Yuheng Palace.

It just so happened that Song Du knocked on the door outside: "My lord, it's almost time, and I have to go back to the house to drink medicine."

Rong Mu withdrew his gaze from looking at the plum trees outside the window, got up and brushed off the folds of his robe, and at the same time avoided mentioning what Zhou Qu entrusted him with: "Thank you, Boss Zhou, for leaving a table today. Just put it on the account, and I will leave.”

"My lord! The matter of the major general!"

Rong Mu suppressed the desire to cough, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said: "That case is not something that I can intervene in, Boss Zhou really found the wrong person."

"grown ups!"

The people behind him were still trying to persuade him to stay, but Rong Mu's pace did not stop at all because of this.

Song Du who was outside quickly put a cloak on Rong Mu the moment he stepped out of the door.

Seeing his master's face was pale, and the blood was gone from his lips, Song Du frowned: "It's still too much, my lord should take a good rest in the mansion."

Rong Mu let him tie the rope around his neck for himself, and when he went out, the fragrance of plum blossoms outside was even stronger.

Seeing him lost in thought, Song Du wondered, "My lord?"

"Let's go back." Rong Mu withdrew his gaze from Mei Shu, and walked away.

Song Du was stunned, and suddenly remembered that the adults who came back from the palace every winter always had such a fragrance of plum blossoms and a tired body.

On the road, the carriage drove smoothly.

Rong Mu spent a lot of time today, and the matter of Hua Huaiyin repeatedly jumped in his heart. Now leaning on the soft seat in the carriage, Rong Mu pretended to sleep with his eyes closed, but was actually thinking about it.

Suddenly there was a commotion, and the "gulu" sound of the carriage stopped abruptly.

Rong Mu frowned slightly, and opened the curtain of the carriage in front, and saw that the avenue ahead had been blocked, dozens of people wearing official arresting clothes were gathered in the avenue at the moment, and there were also mobs of common people beside them.

"My lord, it seems that the government is investigating and arresting people ahead. There are too many people blocking the way." Song Du leaned forward, and then replied.

Hearing this, Rong Mu looked over, they had just arrived in front of the mansion of General Zhenyuan, two stone lions were showing off their power outside the door, but they were even more glorious than the man in azure blue robe.

When the man turned around, Rong Mu suddenly met his eyes, and the bones of his hand holding the curtain immediately had veins.

Even though he only met once a few days ago, Rong Mu recognized this person.

It's Wen Li...
