“What are you doing? The King of Jin is here. Hurry to open the city gate!”
In the moonlight, the two shadows were lengthened outside the door.
When Xia Houmo and Zuowei returned to the capital from Wuzhen, the city gate had already been closed. It was closed half an hour earlier than usual.
“The King of Jin? Your Royal Highness, I’m so sorry. Some assassins are trying to assassinate His Majesty in the palace, and Second Prince is now searching for the assassins. In case of any accidents, His Majesty has ordered to blockade at the city gate and nobody is allowed to open it. We are just fulfilling our duty. Please don’t put us into a dilemma.” The imperial guard standing on the city wall shouted.
Xia Houmo’s cold and dark eyes side were hidden in the darkness.
“The assassins entered the palace as soon as we left the city? Even if this is the case, we are not leaving the city but entering the city. How dare these guys stop us?!” Zuowei couldn’t be angrier. His Royal Highness was still in command of half of the Imperial Guards. How could these people be so presumptuous!
Zuowei took out his piccolo. Just as he was about to call in the pigeons to send messages to Jin Mansion, a pigeon flew out of the city gate. Hardly had Zuowei blown the piccolo, the pigeon flew towards them.
Looking at the carrier pigeon approaching them, Zuoqiu was stunned. It was surprisingly fast!
He grabbed the carrier pigeon and took out the message on its leg. As soon as he read it, he put on a stern face.
“Your Royal Highness, Jin Mansion is in trouble!”
“What’s the matter?”
“Second Prince led the imperial guards into Jin Mansion, saying that he wanted to search for the assassins.”
In an instant, Xia Houmo revealed a dangerous signal in his dark and cold eyes.
“Xia Houkun, it seems that I was too kind to you before!”
“Your Royal Highness, what shall we do? They refuse to open the city gate.”
Xia Houmo looked up at the towering gate.
“It’s just a gate. Do they think it can keep me off?”
Xia Houmo stepped on the horse’s back, concentrated his attention and energy, and flew up into the air.
The Imperial Guards on the gate tower were actually a little bit uncertain and afraid to stop the King of Jin!
The King of Jin had never been good-tempered. If he held the grudge after entering the city, they would be doomed!
Just as these people were in fear and panic, they saw Xia Houmo flying up.
Xia Houmo, like an eagle spreading its wings, landed on the gate tower. Before the people on the tower could react, they had seen the ghostly figure in front of them.
“Your, Your Royal Highness…”
The imperial guard who had been clamoring on the tower was unable to stand steadily now!
Thinking that Su Muge was still dealing with Xia Houkun in the mansion, Xia Houmo flew away without taking a look at the guards.
As soon as Xia Houmo disappeared, the man felt his legs softened and collapsed to the ground.
“Sir, are you okay?”
“Help, help me get up!” If you were frightened by the King of Jin like this, you would be scared to death!
In Jin Mansion. The teacup in Su Muge’s hand was getting colder.
She knew that there were many secret guards and imperial guards in Jin Mansion. However, Xia Houkun was obviously well prepared. If she fought recklessly against him with no regard for the consequences, Jin Mansion would definitely fall into the disadvantaged position.
“Your Royal Highness, we haven’t found an assassin in the eastern courtyard.”
“Your Royal Highness, we haven’t found an assassin in the western courtyard.”
Su Muge loosened the teacup in her hand slowly.
“Your Royal Highness, we’ve found this in the Bamboo Courtyard.”
An imperial guard came in with a cloak in his hand.
Seeing the cloak, Su Muge tightened the porcelain cup in her hand again!
Xia Houkun glanced at the cloak with a smile. “I ask you to search for the assassins. Why do you give a cloak to me?”
“Your Royal Highness, this cloak is not as simple as a normal cloak!”
The guards tore the cloak in his hands, and a few sheets of paper flew out.
Seeing this, Su Muge put on a stern face, and her whole body was stiff and tight.
Xia Houmo picked up the paper on the floor with a surprised look. As soon as he read it, he changed his face immediately.
“Xia Houmo, how dare you! You had secretly colluded with the criminal Xia Housheng!”
Su Muge stood up instantly and stared at him coldly.
“Second Prince, please watch your mouth. Don’t talk nonsense.”
Xia Houkun looked at her and sneered.
“As for whether I am talking nonsense, you can see for yourself, Your Grace!”
Su Muge took a look at the paper in Xia Houkun’s hand, feeling despair.
The content of the letter was about Xia Houmo helping Xia Housheng to murder Xia Hourui and to get the throne!
Su Muge took a deep breath to keep herself calm.
“Isn’t it too low to frame him up in this way?”
There was a flicker of cold light in Xia Houkun’s eyes.
“Framed up? You have hidden such important evidence so covertly, Your Grace. He is framed up? Come on! Catch all the people in Jin Mansion! Without exception!”
“Xia Houkun, how dare you!”
Xia Houkun snorted and sneered. “Your Grace, my ninth sister-in-law, do you think I dare or not? Catch her!”
As soon as the Imperial Guards moved forward, Wang Nuo and Wang Yi stepped forward and stood in front of Su Muge to protect her.
“Anyone who dares to hurt Your Grace dies!”
“Do it!”
The imperial guards rushed into the room and fought with the people in Jin Mansion.
Although the Imperial Guards were much more than the people in Jin Mansion, the guards in Jin Mansion were all elites selected by Xia Houmo from the army. For a time, the Imperial Guards did not have much advantage.
In the Water Pavilion.
Qingyu held Liu Rumeng’s hands tightly.
“Brother Qingyu, who are those people outside? What are they doing here?”
Qingyu frowned. “They are the Imperial Guards.”
The Imperial Guards did not skip any corner in Jin Mansion including the remote Water Pavilion.
“What happened to His Royal Highness …” Xia Houmo was the person in charge of the Imperial Guards, but why did these guards dare to search Jin Mansion so blatantly.
“Brother Qingyu, let’s ask little Xue to go to the front and inform us of the situation in time.”
“Well, ask her to be careful.”
“Okay.”
Liu Rumeng got rid of Qingyu’s hands and walked out of the room. As soon as she was out the door, she withdrew her worried look on her face immediately…
Even though the people of Jin Mansion fought bravely, they still could not defeat the power in numbers.
Xia Houkun looked at the captured Su Muge with a smug smile, approached her, and said lightly, “If you had married me obediently, how would you end up with this plight now?” After he finished speaking, he stood up straight. ” Take her away!”
Su Muge was escorted into the carriage that had been prepared long ago, and all the people of Jin Mansion were also tied up.
Su Muge sat in the carriage with her hands and feet tied up. The weather was still cold, but she was not wearing a cloak. With the cold wind blowing, she felt so freezing that she got goosebumps over.
This carriage was actually a cage with no cover on all sides, and the cold wind was attacking her and drilling into her body relentlessly.
“Master, you will be short-lived if you eat too much soy sauce chicken!”
“Short-lived?”
“Uh… maybe a hundred years old…”
When Su Muge was trembling in the cold, two figures appeared in the moonlight and onto the street.
Seeing the two figures, Su Muge suddenly felt hopeful!
“Do you want to eat soy sauce chicken? I have dozens of chickens at my house. Do you want to eat them?” Su Muge shouted suddenly.
Instantly, Jinglan and Ali stopped and looked back at Su Muge, who was kept in a cage.
The two looked at Su Muge, blinked, and then looked at each other.
Jinglan revealed great confusion in his big and bright phoenix eyes. “Ali, who is she?”
Su Muge was speechless. “…”
Ali was also speechless. “…”
“I don’t know her either.”
“…”
“Oh, but she said she had soy sauce chicken.” Jinglan’s eyes brightened up.
Ali frowned with his thick eyebrows. “It may not be delicious.”
Jinglan licked his lips. “Only after I have a try can I know whether it tastes good or not.”
“You’re right.”
Ali nodded. Before the guards who escorted Su Muge came to their senses, Ali had flown up, cut off the iron chain around the cage, and carried Su Muge out of the cage like a bird.
“The prisoner is hijacked! The prisoner is hijacked!”
“Catch them!”
“Stop them!”
It was not the first time for Su Muge to be carried by Ali. However, she still felt so bad!
She was afraid to be caught up by those imperial guards. However, they had already been out of sight.
She looked back and found Jinglan following behind them as if he was stepping on clouds. Although he was walk on the walls, he still looked so elegant!
Su Muge thought for a while and finally decided to let Ali take her to Cheng Ran’s courtyard.
At this time, the children had fallen asleep long ago, and there was no one in the empty yard.
Jinglan landed on the ground steadily, and he looked around.
“Where is soy sauce chicken?”
Having been blown by the cold wind, Su Muge was still in a trance now.
“Wait…” Could you allow me to take a breath?!
“Alright.”
Cheng Ran, who was about to go to sleep, heard the movement outside and went out with a torch. Seeing Su Muge and Ali standing in the courtyard, he was greatly surprised.
“Your Grace… Miss, why are you here?”
“Are there any live chickens at home?”
“…”
In the middle of the night?…
“Yes!”
“Okay. Please help me get them prepared. I’ll cook it.”
“Miss, are, are you hungry?”
Su Muge nodded with certainty. “Well, go ahead.”
“Okay.”
Su Muge looked back at the two men. “One chicken for each of you. Don’t eat too much at night. It is easy to put on weight”
Ali nodded, feeling satisfied with one chicken to eat.
“Okay, fine.” Jinglan seemed to be a little pitiful.
“…” Did you think there was a nest of chickens for you to eat?!
After Cheng Ran cleaned the chickens, Su Muge rolled up her sleeves and walked into the kitchen.
When she came out of the kitchen, she already had two soy sauce chickens in her hand.
Jinglan and Ali started eating happily in the hall.
Su Muge and Cheng Ran stood in the courtyard.
“Miss, what happened to you?”
Su Muge nodded dumbly. “I am a fugitive now.”
