C88 (1/2)
This meant that the people behind the Consort Xian were going to rebel.
Now, Mu Zi Huan finally understood why a man said that he had blocked their plans.
Could it be because when she told Shen Zhiqiu to investigate the forces behind the Consort Xian, he exposed himself?
But if that was really the case, then Shen Zhiqiu had actually come to pay him a farewell before he left today.
”Can you see it clearly?”
Suddenly, a mocking voice came from behind him. Mu Zhihuan was frightened, she turned around and saw that it was all over.
He saw a black clothed man standing with his hands behind his back. A faint smile hung on his aged face.
Mu Zhihuan's heart tightened, it's over, is she going to be silenced now?
But who would have thought that the man merely smiled and said, ”Don't worry. Even if I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't let you live until now.”
Mu Zhihuan muttered in her heart, under your roof, it would be strange if you could be at ease.
”Then... ”In that case, I'll go to sleep … right?”
Pointing in the direction of her own room, just as Mu Zhihuan was about to scamper off, she was caught red-handed by someone by the collar:
”What are you running about for? You've already seen it, aren't you curious?”
Curiosity! However, the teacher had also said that curiosity would kill the cat, so Mu Zhihuan shook her head frantically. ”It's just training bandits, what's there to be curious about?”
”You don't have to be so afraid of me.”
Mu Zhihuan gave an ugly smile, ”...”
Seeing Mu Zhihuan's awkward expression while blinking her eyes, the man laughed: ”Young lady, you're quite interesting, I'll let you send me back.”
Before leaving, Mu Zhihuan suddenly roared out: ”If you want to capture me to threaten Jiang Zisu, I don't think it's necessary.”
”Jiang Zisu doesn't care about me from the start. Even though he has been very good to me from the outside, his beloved concubine, Yang Qiuyu, is still his.”
After selling out two teammates in one go, Mu Zhihuan did not blush at all as she panted for breath.
The man frowned slightly and looked at her: ”Who told you that I captured you to threaten Jiang Zisu? How can a man delay his career for a woman? ”
Mu Zhihuan pursed her lips, ”...”
”Then you arrested me because I investigated you?”
At this point, Mu Zhihuan's act of acting or not did not hold much meaning anymore. With a state of mind that said even if sshe died, he should at least understand what it means to continue asking until the end.
But Feng Yu did not understand what Mu Zhihuan was thinking at all. He was still pondering about the girl, why did she suddenly become curious when she was the one who had been playing dumb ever since they entered the village?
”I must say that the person that you've invited to follow you is very smart. However, the only thing that he knows about is that he is too arrogant.”
”He got the news from us and directly went to find you. Isn't he telling others who he is working for?”
Mu Zhihuan only wanted to support her forehead, this Shen Zhiqiu.
”However, that is not the only reason why we want to catch you. If we fail, even if we die, we would at least have to bear the burden.”
Feng Yu's words made Mu Zhihuan's heart turn cold.
”You mean …” Am I the scapegoat? But it is simply impossible for Jiang Zisu to be a candidate for the throne. ”
Before she finished speaking, Mu Zhihuan understood that Jiang Zisu was not his target, his target was the crown prince.
Even if their rebellion failed, they would drag the crown prince down with them. For something like the crown prince being a traitor, not to mention the huge blow to the emperor, even for the entire Great Wei, his heart would be in turmoil.
”It seems like Consort Xian's evaluation of you is not too bad. You're a little smart.”
Mu Zhihuan felt a chill down her spine. She was not a righteous person, so she was not particularly concerned about whether the crown prince and Great Wei would be unstable.
