Chapter 206 If She Doesn’t Have a Good Life, No One Will Have a Good Life
In the room, Beitang Yi held Mu Lianzhi on his lap and played with her little hands. He told her the results of his investigation and the general situation:
"By the way, did you see anyone else during the fight besides the masked guys?"
"A killer had his neck twisted and died in the house. It must have been done by an expert. The deaths are not a big deal. If such an expert really got away..."
She was originally wondering why he came here so late at night, and when she heard him mention her, Mu Lianzhi's body stiffened involuntarily.
Noticing her strangeness, Beitang Yi thought he had frightened her, so he took her soft little hand and kissed the back of her hand:
"scared?"
"Don't be afraid. The people from Yutian Pavilion are no pushovers. Since this person doesn't even dare to show his face, there must be something holding him back. This is enough time for my people to protect your family."
"I won't let anything happen to you."
"The capital is an important place. Unless all the officials don't want to live anymore, these scoundrels will be wiped out sooner or later."
"Hmm~"
Sticking out his tongue, Mu Lianzhi said shyly:
How could she be worried about that? Was she struggling over whether or not to be honest with him?
After thinking for a while, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
After all, this matter is a bit unbelievable and may also involve the past of the Dragon Spirit Sect. It is better to have less trouble than more.
This secret is known only to herself and no one else.
While Mu Lianzhi was hesitating, Beitang Yi's voice softened:
"Oh, right, Zhizhi, the matter of the Dragon Spirit Cult is of great importance. I cannot hide it. The sooner I report it to His Majesty, the more I can take the initiative. So, I must report to His Majesty about this assassination and this discovery tomorrow..."
"You have to tell me how much you know, so that I can handle it appropriately."
"Also, no matter what the reason for your eye abnormality, it's fine if others don't notice it, but once they do, it will be a problem for you. I asked Si Chao to prescribe some medicine for you. You must carry it with you from now on. No matter who asks, you must insist that you are sick and that's the cause. Do you understand?"
"Who is the target of this assassination? What is the purpose? Tell me everything you know. We need to give a similar confession."
"So many people were killed and injured at once, and the Ministry of Justice has been alerted. I didn't expect that the Dragon Spirit Cult was also involved. If this matter is not handled properly, it is very likely to bring disaster to your family."
As he spoke, Beitang Yi stuffed a small medicine bottle into her hand:
"Trust me, I will protect you."
"There are some things that I can't explain clearly now. I can only tell you that the Dragon Spirit Sect is related to the dragon veins and the elixir of immortality. It is related to the fate of the country. It is something that the emperor and even the rulers of various countries must fight for, so..."
If their family is really related to the Dragon Spirit Cult, they must prepare early.
I didn't expect him to say this to me. Clutching the small bottle in my hand, Mu Lianzhi felt warm in the heart, but a hint of surprise appeared on her face:
"Is it so complicated?"
"Just report whatever you find out. This has nothing to do with my parents."
Before she came back, she had thought of a solution, which was to insist that her mother was the real daughter of Magistrate Lian, and that her real experience happened to someone else. They did not deny it either, and that the wooden Dongzhu was naturally given to them by the descendant of the Holy Fire Messenger to express gratitude for saving their family's lives.
As for everything else, including Mu Dongzhu, they naturally knew nothing about it.
As long as the mother's identity is clear, their family will not be afraid of investigation.
His mother had lived as the daughter of the Lian family for many years. She had met many officials with her adoptive parents and had even almost been involved in a marriage proposal. Her identity and experience were all true. His adoptive parents and their family were no longer alive, so where could he find out?
Even if the truth was finally revealed, she could still shirk her responsibility by saying that she had lost her memory and was unaware of the situation.
She didn't want anything to happen to her parents, and she also didn't want Beitang Yi to be blamed and implicated in this matter, so it was best if he didn't know about it.
Finally, as long as someone can discover Mu Dongzhu's existence in time and get rid of this hot potato, their family will be completely safe.
The mark no longer exists on her body, and her mother has been hiding it. As long as she can think of a way to completely remove it, no one can blame them if they disown her in the future.
After sorting out her thoughts, she continued:
"I asked my parents when I came back. They were also being hunted for unknown reasons before, but they heard that the people from the Marquis' Mansion were looking for them, so they took precautions and came back secretly without daring to recognize me directly."
"Now you know, right? Ling Wenzhan deceived me into marriage just for the 'Youlian Pill' bestowed by our family. From the beginning, no one in the Marquis' Mansion was sincere to me. They just wanted to use my family. They were afraid of my good, afraid that I would hinder their family's promotion, afraid that I would know the truth and resent and retaliate against them, and so cruel that they didn't want my parents to come back."
"They use us and think we are a burden to our family..."
As soon as she showed a sad look on her face, Beitang Yi felt so distressed:
"It's all in the past. The Marquis's Mansion was blind, so I was able to pick up this precious family. I will treat you well in the future and will not let you suffer any grievances again."
Caressing her pink cheek, Beitang Yi originally had no extra thoughts in his mind, but when his gaze fell inadvertently, the blood in his body exploded like boiling oil poured into water.
Then, the two of them moved from the chairs to the bed, pinching someone several times. In the end, Mu Lianzhi had no choice but to let him do what he wanted.
At this time, Jiang walked around the yard a few times alone, and finally returned to a pavilion overlooking Yuxiu Courtyard, and sat down.
Ling Yuchi came back, but went to Sang Xi's room in the name of the child and never came out. Mu was a widow, she had special guards and no shortage of men to fight for her. She was obviously the one in charge of the Marquis' Mansion, so why was there only one person left?
Letting the cold night wind wash over her body, Jiang stayed in the pavilion in a daze all night. When it was almost dawn, she finally caught sight of the fleeting white shadow again.
Sure enough, someone had been here.
Even if he was Beitang Yi himself, he was still having an affair before getting married. It would be enough to make people poke at him for the rest of his life.
Why is she the only one suffering?
If she doesn't have a good life, no one else can have a good life!
Shaking off the chill on her body, Jiang woke up instantly, turned around, and trotted away in the direction of the kitchen.
……
The next day, after attending court, Beitang Yi went to the imperial study to report the suspicious points he had found. Not long after he left, the emperor issued an edict to summon the Mu couple to the palace, still using the excuse of discussing the marriage.
After some pleasantries, the emperor turned the topic to the assassination case. The two elders basically answered all his questions fluently. As for the speculation about the assassin, they attributed it to accidentally offending someone and the conflict in the Marquis' Mansion, until the emperor took out the two sun and moon patterns:
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think. Do you know this?"
