Gongzi Zhuo and Qingyang ordered Yan Chong to come out of the back hall and return to the hall. Although Gongzi Zhuo felt uncomfortable, he still accepted Yan Chong's suggestion and had to straighten his clothes and go forward to respectfully face Xiang Zhen. King Nan bowed to express his apology, and then turned to Princess Dia Melissa and bowed to express his apology.
Mu Sheng saw that although there was nothing wrong with Young Master Zhuo's apology and salute, his expression was somewhat unconvincing. It was obvious that he did not sincerely realize his mistake and apologize to him.
Mu Sheng also knew what kind of character this young master Zhuo was. If he could apologize to him with great courtesy, it would be a waste of time. He had already been wronged greatly.
Mu Sheng didn't want to make the matter a big deal. No one was killed in the conflict between the two parties. Don't let the final quarrel affect the relationship between the two countries, which would be bad. So he got off the donkey, nodded slightly and said: "Young Master's apology, I accept it. But the soldiers under my command cannot suffer this beating in vain."
The King of Zhennan meant that people should not be beaten in vain, and Master Zhuo naturally understood it, so he could only grit his teeth and agreed: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will send someone to the post house tomorrow for the medical expenses."
Mu Sheng showed an expression that seemed sensible to you, and said with satisfaction: "That's good, I'll take my leave."
After saying that, he took Diya Melissa's hand, held her heart in his arms, and led his men back to the inn.
Young Master Zhuo and Yan Chong were secretly relieved to see that King Zhennan would no longer pursue the case.
When Prince Zhuo saw King Zhennan walking away with the beautiful princess in his arms, he felt resentful in his heart. He was like a flower stuck on a mountain of cow dung. What was so special about this ugly man with a scar? How could he marry such a stunning beauty?
Returning to the post house, Mu Sheng visited several mountain puppet warriors who were seriously injured, and called the captain of the guard, who had a bruised nose and face, and said: "You are fighting for the country, and the princess will be humiliated, so I started to fight with the people of that night. The king is very moved and offers a reward of three thousand for serious injuries and one thousand for minor injuries to appease his loyalty."
The captain of the guard was overjoyed when he heard this, his heart warmed, and he quickly kowtowed and thanked him. Even the seriously injured men lying on the collapse wanted to get up and thank them. Mu Sheng quickly stepped forward to comfort them and recover from their injuries, and then returned to his residence.
Returning to the room, seeing that Melissa still looked unhappy, Mu Sheng stepped forward and hugged her body, comforting: "Melissa, this is the Central Plains and the capital. Young Master Zhuo has a noble status. This matter This is the only way to deal with it, and I hope Madam will not take it to heart. Who told you to be so beautiful? As long as you are a normal man, he will have evil intentions towards you."
As Princess Taisha, Diya Melissa also knew the general situation. When she heard her husband praise her beauty, she felt happy. She looked up at Mu Sheng and said, "You want to go shopping with me, so you can't make excuses anymore." , we will go back tomorrow."
Hearing this, Mu Sheng said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I know that I will guard my sweetheart every step of the way, okay?"
After hearing this, Diya Melissa smiled with satisfaction. She suddenly stood up, unfolded the sleeves of her broad robe, walked around Mu Sheng, and asked: "Husband, do you think I am beautiful in this Central Plains outfit? ?”
Only then did Mu Sheng notice Melissa's dress, and he couldn't help but his eyes lit up. Melissa looked exotic and beautiful, but she looked like a fairy in Hanfu. No wonder she was fascinated by the young master Zhuo. He said, "I want to kiss Fangze. This is a man who can't help it."
Mu Sheng pulled Diya Melissa into his arms and said with a wicked smile: "Melissa, you are so beautiful today!"
After that, Mu Sheng couldn't help but kiss her. Melissa stretched out her green fingers and touched Mu Sheng's lips.
Mu Sheng reacted, touched the scarred face mask on his face, and said with a smile: "I will put off the mask later to please Mrs. Yu."
Diya Melissa shook her head, stepped forward and stroked Mu Sheng's human skin mask, and said: "No, I suddenly felt that my husband came to save me now, and this scarred face is not as annoying as before. On the contrary, It’s a bit domineering!”
Mu Sheng smiled and said: "Okay, it's up to you, you can do whatever you want."
After saying that, Mu Sheng came closer again, and the two of them were in a happy mood...
The next morning, a servant of the post house looked around furtively and saw that there was no one around. He approached the mountain puppet station of the post house and handed a letter of greeting to the guarding mountain puppet warrior, requesting an interview with the King of Zhennan.
After a while, the mountain puppet warrior went out and invited the servant in. When he went to the inner hall, he saw a middle-aged man with a scar face in the middle. He stepped forward and bowed to him: "I am Zhao Dan, the guest of the monarch's residence in Xia'an. See the King of Zhennan, please lend me a word."
After the servant finished speaking, he handed the token representing An Guojun's son Xiu to King Zhennan for inspection.
After hearing this, Mu Sheng opened his eyes and looked up and down at the handyman named Zhao Dan. He confirmed that the token in his hand was indeed the item of An Guojun. His heart moved when he saw that this servant was disguised in a sneaky way. , I came to meet him secretly, and I'm afraid it was not an honest matter. He thought for a while, anyway, the Ming Dynasty envoy was about to leave, so he just wanted to hear what kind of medicine this Lord An Guo's retainer was selling in the gourd?
Mu Sheng invited the servants to take a seat, then placed a soundproof barrier, and then went straight to the point: "I will leave Qingyang tomorrow. What do you think, Lord An Guo?"
Zhao Dan smiled and said: "Since Your Majesty, you are straight to the point, I won't beat around the bush and tell you the truth. My Lord has something to ask for. I hope Your Majesty can help my Lord!"
When Mu Sheng heard this, his heart moved, and he asked: "Oh? This is strange. Mr. An Guo actually has something to ask of me?"
Zhao Dan nodded slightly and said: "Your Majesty, my lord heard about what happened to Young Master Zhuo of Huadeng Street yesterday. This Young Master Zhuo has always been careless in doing things. I hope Your Majesty you won't take it to heart."
Mu Sheng showed a magnanimous and tolerant look, waved his hand and said: "Oh! It's okay. Young people, it's normal to be impulsive. I won't blame him."
Hearing this, Zhao Dan smiled mysteriously and bowed: "Your Majesty, I admire you for your broad mind. However, this matter is not over yet, it is just the beginning."
Mu Sheng said: "Oh? I would like to hear the details."
Zhao Dan was afraid that the barbarian king was illiterate, so he took out a silk letter from his arms and read it word for word to the master of the mountain puppet.
After hearing this, Mu Sheng's heart moved. He immediately understood the purpose of this silk letter. An Guojun's son Xiu wanted to use yesterday's Huadeng Street incident to expand public opinion and get rid of the master Zhuo. This required him, the puppet master. The master cooperated. This silk book was the "composition" written by Gongzi Xiu and others for King Zhennan to write to the emperor. The title of prince of the Jin Dynasty has the privilege of directly writing to the emperor to express his opinions.
Mu Sheng asked for the silk book from Zhao Dan again, glanced at it pretendingly, and asked, "What do you mean? Does An Guojun want to use yesterday's incident to get rid of Young Master Zhuo?"
Zhao Dan bowed and said, "Your Majesty Mingjian, my master has this intention."
Mu Sheng frowned and asked: "Why do you want to get rid of Young Master Zhuo? As far as I know, he is just an idle clan member with no title or power. It seems that the emperor does not like this Young Master Zhuo very much. He can What threat does it pose to your master?"
"An Guojun has been the king for several years. He is good at civil and military skills, and he is valued by your majesty. People with discerning eyes both inside and outside the court can see that An Guojun is definitely the next successor. Master Zhuo, I have seen this person yesterday. , stupid and incompetent, without the appearance of a king, ordained as a legitimate leader, no matter how you calculate, it is not his turn to be the son of a prince, why do you have to rush to get rid of a person who is not a threat? Doesn't it make sense? "
Zhao Dan sighed and said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the inside story is not as simple as you think. Young Master Zhuo is stupid and incompetent, and has no appearance of a king. But behind him, Mrs. Li, is still The uncle of Prince Zhuo, the general Li Fu, is indeed an extraordinary person and should not be looked down upon."
"Gongzi Zhuo's uncle, General Li Fu, is the son of Li He, the commander of the army that destroyed Yue. After the death of Marquis Zhangwu, General Li was highly regarded by His Majesty. In his early years, General Li Fu served as the guard general of various counties. He has outstanding military exploits and is quite prestigious in the army. His son Li Li married Princess Qinghe and is related to the royal family, so the power of the Li family behind Young Master Zhuo cannot be seen."
"There is also Mrs. Li, the mother of Gongzi Zhuo. Ever since the death of Mrs. Zhao Ji Zhao, the mother of Mr. Anlehou Gongzi Sheng, Mrs. Li has always been favored in the harem and can talk to the emperor. Although my lord, Gongzi Xiu is highly valued by His Majesty, but it is a pity that my lord's biological mother, Mrs. Yang, is old and has lost her beauty. She has long been disliked by Your Majesty and cannot speak in front of His Majesty."
When Zhao Dan arrived, Mu Sheng asked, "Didn't I hear that the most favored person in the harem is Mrs. Sun?"
Zhao Dan laughed when he heard this and said: "Your Majesty, although Mrs. Sun is the most favored by His Majesty, Mrs. Sun has no heirs. If the new king succeeds to the throne, Sun Furan will be buried with the late emperor. This person is nothing to worry about."
Zhao Dan continued: "It is very important that Mrs. Li can speak in front of His Majesty. Now that His Majesty has gone through the Rebellion of the Crown Prince, he will never consider establishing a Crown Prince. Now that the country is not upright, there are always variables. , Your Majesty, do you understand?"
When Mu Sheng heard this, he nodded slightly. He sighed in his heart. This whole thing has come back to him. Gongzi Zhuo's support group turned out to be his own sister, Princess Qinghe's husband's family. No wonder Gongzi Xiu wanted to deal with Gongzhuo.
