Emperor Yuan Xu sent Mu Huaijin to the Chen Mansion to investigate the whereabouts of the relief food, but he did not expect to find the missing food easily.

If Chen Yuansi really wanted to hide the relief food, in the eyes of Emperor Yuan Xu, he would never expose himself so easily.

There were many doubts about this matter, so Emperor Yuan Xu ordered that Chen Yuansi be imprisoned first, and wait for another day for interrogation, and it would not be too late to make a conclusion after investigation.

The evidence was conclusive, even if Chen Yuansi was asked, he would not talk about it.It seemed that all the arrows were pointing to the fact that the relief grain was hidden by Chen Yuansi.

It is not difficult to see that Emperor Yuan Xu still refused to give up this capable minister.

But it will happen soon, Mu Huaijin thought so, as long as Emperor Yuan Xu saw something, no matter whether the grain was hidden by Chen Yuansi or not, the emperor would not show mercy.

The jailer following her nodded and bowed, and was extremely flattering today.

Out of greed for life and fear of death, someone in the imperial prison had stunned them with incense a few days ago, and he dared not report the incident of entering the bottom of the imperial prison without authorization-if Emperor Yuan Xu knew that someone had touched the eldest princess, then they must be No need to live.

Therefore, when the jailer saw Mu Huaijin today and knew that she was sent by the emperor, he was very respectful and did not dare to neglect her.I'm afraid that if she is not careful, she will see something.

Mu Huaijin brought two guards and was led by the jailer to Chen Yuansi's prison - right next door to Yun Tingrong.

Mu Huaijin glanced at the jailer lightly.

Is this intentional?

Because the jailer was stunned a few days ago, he did not report the intrusion into the prison, so he immediately lowered his head in panic, not looking at her, "Little General Mu... yes, are you going to take him away?"

After all, he took out the key to open the door.

"No need." Mu Huaijin's voice was cold, "Ask a few questions first, and take them away after you finish."

The jailer should be again and again.

The clothes Chen Yuansi was wearing were still the ones from yesterday, and there were cuts on them by Mu Huaijin's knife, which made him even more embarrassed.

But this did not repel the hostility in Chen Yuansi's eyes.

From just now until now, Chen Yuansi has turned his back to them and has not said a word.

Mu Huaijin glanced at Yun Tingrong who was lying on the ground like a lost soul in the prison next door, and asked, "What did you say to her?"

Yun Tingrong fell to the ground, her eyes stared blankly at the top of her head, her pupils were out of focus, and she looked hopeless.

"..." Chen Yuansi didn't turn his head, and with a bit of astringency in his voice, he said with a low smile, "Ah... this question, shouldn't General Mu be very clear about it?"

Mu Huaijin frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Chen is a criminal minister, and Yun Xiang's daughter is also a criminal minister..." The corners of Chen Yuansi's mouth raised an exaggerated arc, and there was a hint of helplessness and incomprehensibility in his voice, "I just told her that we are all the same Human, dirty, hypocritical."

"I didn't expect that she actually said...that's just right, that we are just the same kind of people, and we can be together."

"Hmph." Chen Yuansi stood up, turned to look at Mu Huaijin, "Of course I refused directly."

"Little General Mu, you know that Mr. Chen is such a person. I will kick away useless people. Similarly, I will mercilessly stab those who block my way."

When he said this, his eyes seemed to be pierced with sharp knives, and they were facing Mu Huaijin directly, as if they were about to stab them in the next second.

Mu Huaiji was not moved, but instead smiled, "The prince said so, so I will naturally accompany him to the end."

The two guards and the jailer behind them were taken aback when they heard what they were saying.How do you listen to what they mean, as if they are saying that this incident has something to do with General Mu?

"The emperor asked me to interrogate you." Mu Huaijin got to the point and pulled back everyone's thoughts, "But you said that you were a guilty minister just now... Your son means that you have already pleaded guilty?"

"..." Chen Yuansi didn't answer.

Since he himself doesn't quibble or complain, there is basically nothing to investigate.Mu Huaijin smiled, and waved to the jailer to open the prison door.

Mu Huaijin: "My son, how do you think the emperor will punish you?"

Chen Yuansi: "..."

Mu Huaijin: "Your Majesty won't tell, so let me guess..." She pretended to think, and after a while, she said leisurely, "Say, is a lifetime in prison enough?"

"This...Little General Mu." The jailer who had been on the side heard her guess and quickly corrected him, "Little General Mu, the son's crime is indeed a felony, but it should...not this punishment..."

In a certain sense, being imprisoned in the imperial prison for a lifetime is actually more torture than direct death.

It is true that hiding relief food is a felony, but compared with the one at the bottom of the imperial prison, it is obvious that there is no need for such a heavy punishment.

Mu Huaijin ignored him.

She said yes.

Because... of course she couldn't just convict Chen Yuansi of one crime so simply.

As expected, when Chen Yuansi was brought out by the two guards, a jade pendant fell from him—the pattern of a coiling dragon on it.

Chen Yuansi obviously didn't realize when the extra jade pendant appeared on his body, but the moment he looked at the jade pendant, he paused for a moment.

It's Mu Huaijin.

Chen Yuansi secretly gritted his teeth, his knuckles were clenched.

It was she who put this jade pendant on him while fighting on the mountain.

The jailer recognized the jade pendant at a glance, it was always worn by the eldest princess An Linghua.Just wondering why this jade pendant appeared on him, the next second, he immediately thought of the uninvited guest in the prison a few days ago.

That man was dressed in white, which was the color of the clothes that Xuan Ping Hou Shizi often wore!

The jailer almost looked at Chen Yuansi with a look of horror.

Not to mention hiding the relief food, unexpectedly... he still has contacts with the eldest princess in private.

Eldest princess, these three words are hardly known by anyone. Now, Xuan Ping Hou Shizi took everyone behind his back and took the Panlong jade pendant that the eldest princess would never leave...

Or, is he and the eldest princess secretly negotiating something?

No matter which one, just knowing the existence of the eldest princess is enough to make Emperor Yuan Xu lose his trust in him and the Chen family.

Mu Huaijin took the Panlong Jade Pendant picked up by the guard, and immediately suppressed the smile on her face, and said sternly, "What is Xuanping Hou Shizi wearing the Panlong Jade Pendant for privately?"

"..." Chen Yuansi was pushed to the ground by two guards the moment the jade pendant fell to the ground. At this moment, he raised his head with difficulty and glared at Mu Huaijin, "Then ask General Mu What do you want to do?"

"...What do I want to do?" Mu Huaijin said coldly: "Your Majesty knows very well what the Coiling Dragon Jade Pendant means. What I want to do is to follow the emperor's order and maintain the peace of Daqi."

"Don't let some people do evil."

Chen Yuansi sneered: "Doing evil... The general is really clever, and he still has a backup."

Mu Huaijin smiled and said lightly, "Let's go to each other."

The backhand, both of them knew clearly that what they said was not blaming him for stealing relief food.Instead, he was talking about this jade pendant - many days ago, Chen Yuansi had seen the same jade pendant in the Chen Mansion.

But that piece is fake.

Mu Huaijin saved two hands, first ordered someone to secretly put down the fake Panlong jade pendant in the Chen residence, and then put the real jade pendant on Chen Yuansi.

After Chen Yuansi discovered the jade pendant, he was naturally vigilant and suspicious.

Someone wanted to harm the Chen family, or rather, to harm him.

But at the same time, he was also puzzled that this Panlong jade pendant was obviously the same as the Phoenix jade pendant that often hung around the emperor's waist.

It turns out... these jade pendants are actually a pair.

Then in whose hands will this Coiling Dragon Jade Pendant be kept?And who let it go?

Chen Yuansi couldn't figure it out at that time, but today, he understood everything.

He looked at Mu Huaijin, his eyes were sharp and cold with the ice under the eaves in winter.

Mu Huaijin's tone was flat, "In my opinion, there is no need for the crown prince to interrogate."

As long as this dragon jade pendant is handed over to Emperor Yuan Xu, Chen Yuansi will not be able to escape being coveted by the emperor.

After finishing speaking, he asked the jailer to keep Chen Yuansi locked up in the prison.

After listening to what they said, Yun Tingrong finally felt a little moved in her out-of-focus eyes. When Mu Huaijin left, she raised her head in a daze and looked at Chen Yuansi.

"Yuan...Brother Yuansi" Her voice was as thin as a thread, and it was obvious that she had been severely injured.

But Chen Yuansi didn't pay attention to her immediately.

Yun Tingrong lowered her head sleepily and closed her eyes.These days in the imperial prison had already made her skinny, and with the heartless words Chen Yuansi said after she came in yesterday, Yun Tingrong's heart was already ashamed.

Even... some don't know what to expect.

When Yun Tingrong fell asleep and could not hear Chen Yuansi's voice, Chen Yuansi said in a low voice, "You don't need to worry about it."

Take care of yourself first, in the imperial prison, you actually made yourself look like a ghost, where is the shadow of the lady from before?

Since he can enter this imperial prison, he must be able to get out.

Chen Yuansi silently clenched the thin wire he hid in his sleeve - it was his people who put it in the food when they brought him food.

He found a jade pendant with a dragon pattern in his hand, and according to Emperor Yuan Xu's suspicious temperament, he would definitely not let him go easily.

We can't just sit around like this.

Chen Yuansi looked at the thin wire in his hand, and his eyes became cloudier, making it impossible to see what was hidden inside.

The famine in Qiongzhou is imminent, and there has been a private storage of relief food in the court. It is bound to elect a new person to send food to Qiongzhou again.

Besides Chen Yuansi, Mu Huaijin was the first thing Emperor Yuan Xu thought of.But Mu Huaijin thought that if she went, Shu Yao would definitely go with her.

At that time, he will definitely drag her into trouble again.

After thinking this way, Mu Huaijin finally refused.Emperor Yuan Xu didn't make it difficult for her either, after all Shu Yao was temporarily marked by her, and after she left, it would be difficult to solve if something happened.

Mu Huaijin still stayed in the palace, and being able to accompany Shu Yao every day, wouldn't it be a good thing?

At this time Shu Yao was lying on Mu Huai's lap, looking at the stars in the sky, blinking, as if the stars and Mu Huaijin lived in his eyes at the same time.

Now that Chen Yuansi is in prison and Mu Huaijin is by her side, there is a feeling of tranquility.

Shu Yao burst out laughing suddenly.

Mu Huaijin brushed the broken hair on her forehead, and said warmly, "Why are you laughing, princess?"

Shu Yao shook her head, "I just think...the way it is now is really good."

Her wish seemed to have come true.

Mu Huaijin smiled lightly and nodded.

Yes, this is really good, if only it can go on like this.

But she knew that Chen Yuansi would never let it go.

Mu Huaijin silently lowered her eyes.

That person's imprisonment is probably just the beginning.
