"Cheng Yiliu, I save you because of your father's face. If I let you know that you are the one behind this, I will never let you off lightly."
General Cheng was unswervingly loyal, and he was so loyal to his imperial brother, and he was even more protective of him.
When he went on the expedition, he was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. His imperial brother and General Cheng were both brothers and fathers to him.
In addition, General Cheng blocked a fatal arrow for him, regardless of his own safety.
He was grateful for the life-saving grace of his arrow, and before he died, he promised to take care of his wife and daughter for him.
It is precisely because of this that Chu Mu is actually very tolerant of Cheng Yiliu.
If she is safe and sound, he can ensure that she has enough food and clothing in Shangjing for the rest of her life.
Even if she now covets him, he can pretend that she doesn't know it and continue to fulfill his promise to General Cheng.
After all, she is General Cheng's only flesh and blood.
But if she dares to unite with others to plot against him, he will definitely not let her off lightly. If necessary, he will clean up General Cheng's family and protect the Cheng family's reputation for loyalty.
After Chu Mu finished speaking, he turned around and walked out the door.
Everything Cheng Yiliu did today was to successfully enter the palace. She didn't expect Chu Mu's insightful ability to be so strong.
But he had no evidence, and she wouldn't admit it even to death.
She quickly stood up, caught up with Chu Mu and took hold of Chu Mu's arm, "Your Highness, those people are really not brought by me. I don't know them. I beg you, please take me away, okay? Stay here, I really will." dead."
Chu Mu twisted the arm she held and broke away her hand. "You don't have to worry. I will send people to guard here. As long as you stay safe, no one will be able to kill you."
Chu Mu ignored her, turned around, left the room, and walked quickly downstairs.
The south wind has been following him.
When he reached the door of the inn, Chu Mucai said to Nanfeng: "Leave some people here to guard, and pay special attention to Cheng Yiliu. Today's accident is definitely not a simple accident."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Also, check Shen Qianyi's side to see if he has any contact with Cheng Yiliu's side before?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
After Chu Mu explained everything, he got into the palace's carriage.
However, he was not in a hurry to return to the palace. Instead, he went to Jixiangfang in the east of the city and bought a sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and then to the south of the city to buy a Shangjing roast duck before setting off back to the palace.
Ruan Tang likes to eat these two things, but because of the trouble, she only buys them every few days.
But every time I go to the east of the city, I don’t want to go to the south.
I went to the south of the city, but I didn’t want to go to the east.
Today he might as well satisfy her together.
As he sat in the carriage, he could already imagine Ruan Tang's surprise when he saw this.
A slight smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
But just as he arrived at the gate of the palace, Nan Feng happened to arrive at the gate on a fast horse.
He looked anxious.
"Your Highness, Cheng Yiliu has gone crazy."
Chu Mu: "...Speak clearly."
"After His Highness left, Cheng Yiliu smashed things in the room, and now he put a knife to her neck, saying that if His Highness didn't... didn't take her back to the house, she would die there."
After hearing this, Chu Mu's expression turned cold.
What he hates most is others threatening her.
Did she really think that she could control General Cheng by relying on his favor?
"She can die if she wants to. If she doesn't want to live, it's useless for others to stop her."
"Can……"
Chu Mu is still thinking about bringing delicious food to Ruan Tang, especially the roast duck. It is still hot now, but it will not taste good if it gets cold later.
He ignored Nanfeng and walked directly to the gate of the palace.
But Nanfeng didn't dare to really ignore it and quickly followed, "Your Highness, but Miss Cheng said that if His Highness doesn't go, she will give her half of the treasure map to others."
Chu Mu paused in his steps and turned to look at Nanfeng with cold eyes.
Nan Feng couldn't help but tremble when he stared at him.
"To someone else? To whom?"
"I don't know. She didn't say anything. She just said that it was definitely someone His Highness didn't want to give it to."
Chu Mu was so angry that his back molars grinded loudly.
Finally, he handed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and roast duck to one of the guards guarding the door, "Bring it to Miss Ruan."
After the gatekeeper took it, he entered the courtyard without stopping.
Chu Mu then turned around and went to Yunlai Inn with Nanfeng again.
Sure enough, as Nanfeng said, Cheng Yiliu put the knife against her neck. The sharp blade even opened a hole in the flesh of her neck, and a trace of blood seeped out.
Seeing Chu Mu return, Cheng Yiliu showed a smile on his face.
"Your Highness, you are back."
Chu Mu didn't respond, and stared at Cheng Yiliu coldly, his eyes full of disgust for her.
Cheng Yiliu couldn't understand the look in his eyes, but Chu Mu was the person who had been at the forefront of her heart when she was young. She couldn't forget it, and she couldn't bear to forget it.
Now she finally has a chance to get close to him, even if she hates herself, so what?
She believed that as long as she could stay by his side, he would see the good in her.
"Cheng Yiliu, do you know what I hate most?"
"What I hate most is when others threaten me."
Chu Mu's voice was cold, but Cheng Yiliu didn't care at all.
"Liu'er had no choice but to do so. If not, how could His Highness be willing to come see me again?"
"Liu'er's wish is very simple. I just need His Highness to give me a place to live in the palace. Even if it means working as a cow or a horse, I am willing to do so."
Chu Mu snorted coldly, pulled up a chair and sat down, looked at her, and said again: "You really don't follow General Cheng at all. If I didn't know that you are General Cheng's daughter, I would really doubt that you are. It’s not fake.”
Cheng Yiliu was startled, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
"Your Highness is really good at joking. I am my father's daughter. Your Highness has met Liu'er before."
It was precisely because he had seen her before that Chu Mu did not doubt her. Otherwise, he would never believe that General Cheng's daughter would do such a thing.
"I can take you back to the palace, but now I want your share of the treasure map."
"It's not that Liu'er doesn't trust His Highness, it's that Liu'er is suspicious by nature, and I won't take out the things until I enter the palace."
