It's easy to be a villain, but hard to be a princess

It was several days later before seeing Ye Qing's shadow.

"Young master, what's the matter with you and the prince, after he came to see you that day, his face turned black, and he didn't mention the matter of coming to see you these days, I only came because of the token I asked him to give. "Ye Qing said.

Chu Muqing did not drive Ye Qing out of the palace, but was willing to give Ye Qing his token.Han Zixiao looked at Ye Qing and asked, "How is your lord doing these days?"

Ye Qing pursed his lips, "It's not that good, I have the same expression all day long, and I don't say a word in the house."

Han Zixiao understood that Chu Muqing was a taciturn person, which is not surprising.

"My lord, I think the prince is in a bad mood recently, and he will come to see you when he is in a better mood." Ye Qing comforted.

"No more." Han Zixiao smiled wryly.

"Why not, the prince has always remembered you in his heart."

"I've already told him about being a spy by his side. It's too late for him to hate me now, so how can he remember me?"

Ye Qing looked at him in surprise, "Why do you..."

Han Zixiao glanced at Ye Qing, "I'm still here for a long time, he should marry another virtuous and virtuous concubine to extend his heirs. Besides, I can hide the bad things I did to him For a while, it can’t be hidden for a lifetime.”

"Although the young master did something to offend the prince, he also liked the prince later, didn't he?"

Han Zixiao pondered for a while, "It's because I like it that I don't want to see him waiting foolishly for me."

Ye Qing pursed his lips and looked at Han Zixiao, Han Zixiao put his hand on his shoulder, "Don't stay in the palace, pack up and go back to Suzhou as soon as possible."

"If I go back to Suzhou, I won't be able to visit you often."

"Don't be stupid, I'm doing pretty well here, so it doesn't matter if you don't need to come and see." Han Zixiao paused, "After returning to Suzhou, I told my parents that I let you come back. Don't let your breath slip."

"I don't want to go back." Ye Qing said.

"My lord and I have already broken our friendship. It doesn't make sense for you to live in the palace any longer. You might as well go back to Suzhou. You are not young. It's time to consider getting married and having children."

"But I still don't want to go back." Ye Qing insisted.

Han Zixiao sighed, "If you are disobedient, it will only make me worry more. Just rest assured, I will be fine here."

Ye Qingbian looked at Han Zixiao with red eyes, Han Zixiao patted him on the shoulder, "Be obedient."

Ye Qing stayed in the prison for more than an hour, until the jailer came to urge him to leave slowly.Back at the palace, Ye Qing went to Chu Muqing's study and returned the token.

Chu Muqing looked up at him, didn't speak, just looked at the official document, Ye Qing knelt down on both knees, and said: "My lord, although my son has done something wrong to your lord, he is not a bad person, and he is still a good man. I hope the prince will not hold grudges."

Chu Muqing continued to look at the official document with focused eyes, "If there is nothing else, go down."

Ye Qing pursed his lips and looked up at Chu Muqing, "I have something to ask the lord."

Chu Muqing didn't respond, Ye Qing said to himself: "My young master did have unruly intentions when he got close to the prince at first, but later on, the young master defended the prince everywhere, and the prince must have known it in his heart. I will leave for Suzhou tomorrow, and the young master is in prison alone. It is very desolate to have no one to take care of you, and I hope the prince can remember the old couple's love, and don't let the jailers in the sky prison treat you badly."

Chu Muqing remained silent, Ye Qing looked at him with his lips tightly pursed, "I've finished my words, let's go down first."

After Ye Qing went down, Chu Muqing's eyes shifted from the official document, and she was fascinated by the token on the table.

He, Chu Muqing, was never easily tempted by others, and he never cared about love before the age of 26.But by chance, a Han Zixiao aroused all the ripples in his heart, unknowingly fell in love with him, began to care, and began to miss him.

But in the end, he found that all of this was just a trap, and all his care and love were just his own wishful thinking.He is a majestic regent who has been in the court for many years. He has always been cautious and will not trust anyone easily, but he was so dazzled by love that he ignored Han Zixiao's tricks.

Today is the Lantern Festival, Uncle Song ordered his servants to hang a few lanterns in the house, and asked the kitchen to cook the Lantern Festival.Chu Muqing was sitting alone in the deserted dining room. Uncle Song wanted to mention Han Zixiao, but he didn't say anything because he was afraid that Chu Muqing would be displeased.

I ate a little food sloppily, and didn't touch a bowl of Yuanxiao.After the meal, a person was walking in the yard alone, suddenly there was a sound of explosion in the air, and a brilliant spark exploded in the ink air, which was extinguished in an instant.

Chu Muqing looked up at the fireworks not far away, it was really dazzling.It is probably someone from a family who is setting off fireworks, or a young man setting off fireworks to make his sweetheart happy.Because I heard that the Lantern Festival is also a folk festival for lovers.

The fireworks exploded continuously in the air, and Chu Muqing turned around and went back to her room. The fireworks were not for herself, and no matter how beautiful they were, she didn't want to look at them any more.

At this moment, Han Zixiao, who was in the prison, was standing under the wall. There was a small window a little bigger than the palm of his hand at a place higher than his head. Normally, light would come in from there, but tonight, the sound of fireworks broke in. Come.

Han Zixiao couldn't see it, but when he heard the sound, he could imagine the sudden explosion of fireworks in the air with his eyes closed.

In the dark prison, Xu Huang's voice came, "Brother Han, you haven't slept yet."

Han Zixiao replied, "I sleep too much during the day, so I can't sleep at night."

There was a rustling sound from the next door, probably because Xu Huang got up, "There's a lot of noise outside, and I can't sleep either."

"Today is the Lantern Festival, so it's right to be a little noisy."

Xu Huang suddenly said, "Oh, it turns out that today is the Lantern Festival."

After Han Zixiao came in, he counted the days every day, knowing that today is the Lantern Festival.If the days were longer, it would have nothing to do with him to celebrate any festivals outside, let alone remember the days.

Another half month has passed.

Fan Youcheng went to the palace to face the saint, and Chu Muqing and Dali Temple Qing Lin Hexu led hundreds of elite soldiers to Fan's mansion.It is said that Fan's house is harboring criminals, and the whole house should be searched.

Fan Youcheng was not at the mansion, and the person who came to search the mansion was the present Prince Regent. The stewards of Fan's mansion dared not stop them, they could only watch helplessly as they searched.

Chu Muqing brought people into Fan's mansion, and went straight to Fan Youcheng's study room. The butler stood aside in a cold sweat, "My lord, my lord hasn't come back yet, can you see if you can wait for him to come back, otherwise it's not easy to deal with the young ones."

Chu Muqing said with a cold face, "Do you think that my king still needs his consent to do things?"

"No, I dare not."

Chu Muqing said to Tie Feng beside him, "Go in and search."

Tie Feng clasped his fists and said yes, pushed open the door of the study, walked to the multi-treasure rack behind the desk, and touched the mechanism, and the multi-treasure rack moved away, revealing an entrance.

The housekeeper of Fan's house saw that the mechanism of the study was easily opened, and his back was sweating. He didn't want to know that Chu Muqing came to search carefully.

After the door opened, Chu Muqing went in through the entrance with a cold face, followed by Tie Feng and Lin Hexu, entered the entrance and descended the stone steps, and candlelight poured out.

The basement was brightly lit, and there was a bed, a table, and a cabinet in a room-sized basement.At this time, Lin Manxu was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, completely unaware that someone had already entered.

When Fan Youcheng rushed back from the palace in a hurry, he was shocked when he heard that Chu Muqing had brought people to search the house, and his face instantly turned khaki.When they rushed to the study, the trap door had already been opened, and Lin Manxu was escorted out by two people.

Then Chu Muqing also came out from inside, Fan Youcheng's eyes were wide open, his face was extremely ugly.Chu Muqing said: "Someone reported that Fan's mansion was harboring important criminals from the court. The king brought people to search the mansion. He was afraid that the criminals would abscond, so he came abruptly. He didn't inform Uncle Guo beforehand, and invited Uncle Guo Haihan."

Fan Youcheng forced a smile at Chu Muqing, "The prince catches the criminal, and the lower officials should cooperate."

"Then I ask Uncle Guo to continue to cooperate and accompany me to the Ministry of Punishment." Chu Muqing said.

Fan Youcheng clenched his fists under his sleeves, he never expected that Chu Muqing would suddenly search the house, and found Lin Manxu easily.Now, it's not like he's escaping, nor is he following Chu Muqing to the Ministry of Punishment.

It was several days later before seeing Ye Qing's shadow.

"Young master, what's the matter with you and the prince, after he came to see you that day, his face turned black, and he didn't mention the matter of coming to see you these days, I only came because of the token I asked him to give. "Ye Qing said.

Chu Muqing said: "Does Uncle Guo go to the Ministry of Punishments by himself, or do you want me to invite you?"

The meaning in the words was already clear, Fan Youcheng gritted his teeth, "Don't bother the lord."

Chu Muqing walked away from Fan Youcheng expressionlessly and left the study, Dali Siqing made a gesture of invitation to Fan Youcheng, "Uncle Guo, please."

It was a happy day for Chu Ruihong to recite poems and compose Fu while admiring the peach blossoms with several concubines in the harem in the imperial garden.

The eunuch rushed to report, saying: "Your Majesty, today the Regent took people to search the mansion of Uncle Guo, and found the fugitive Lin Manxu, and Uncle Guo was also taken away by the Regent."

Surprised, Chu Ruihong stood up abruptly, dropped the teacup in his hand, made a crisp sound, and asked sharply, "What did you just say?"

The eunuch said obediently: "The king of regents found Lin Manxu, a fugitive in the mansion of uncle Guo, and uncle of the country was also taken by the king to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation."

"Why is Lin Manxu at Uncle Guo's house?"

"This slave doesn't know either. He only knows that the regent was found in the basement of the uncle's mansion."

Chu Ruihong frowned, Lin Manxu was actually at Fan Youcheng's house, what was going on?

At this time, Fan Yuying, Fan Youcheng's daughter, came over and knelt down, crying: "Your Majesty, father has always obeyed his duty and will never harbor criminals. Please be careful with your majesty."

Chu Ruihong glanced at her with lowered eyebrows, "Get up first, this matter is very important, if uncle is innocent, I will never let him be wronged."

Fan Yuying said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chu Ruihong looked at the eunuch who was with him, "Show me, I'm going to the Ministry of Punishment."

The meaning in the words was already clear, Fan Youcheng gritted his teeth, "Don't bother the lord."
