The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the wind is getting stronger and stronger.

The two of them did not have knives in their hands, but their moves were deadly, and they were determined to kill each other under the influence of wind and rain. Shangguan Xu was older, but had good physical strength, while Yan Mu was young and had poor health.

After hundreds of moves, both of them were a little tired.

After a killing move, they looked at each other in the rain. Shangguan Xu gasped secretly. The situation was indeed beyond his expectation. At first, he did not expect that Yan Mu could see the game so clearly and was determined not to let Han Zicheng go.

Secondly, he was also amazed that Yan Mu was almost turned into a useless person in Beijin, and now his kung fu was still so good and even improved. Thirdly, maybe it was because of his old age or maybe it was the cruelty in Yan Mu's eyes that frightened him,

It actually gave him a sense of fear.

And here Yan Mu stood in the rain, as if he was as solid as a mountain, but his hands were trembling under his sleeves. The fight was like this, almost a tie, but it was actually his effort. If the fight continued, flaws would soon be exposed.

The two of them had their own thoughts, but at this moment, Dahei shouted: "The criminal Han Zicheng died because he was too seriously injured!"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xu's face suddenly darkened, and Yan Mu burst into laughter.

"You killed the eunuch chief next to the emperor, you... are so brave!" Shangguan Xu shouted.

Yan Mu chuckled, "Your Majesty, you can rest easy now."

"you!"

"But Han Zicheng is dead, and I really have to go to the palace to give an explanation to the emperor."

After saying that, Yan Mu snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the hall. When he walked over and saw Liu Yunxiang still huddled in the corner, he held up his umbrella, pulled her in, and walked out together.

"I'll take you home first."

Liu Yunxiang asked worriedly: "You want to enter the palace?"

"Well, the emperor needs to show off, and I have to cooperate with him, otherwise the end will be even worse."

"After what happened tonight, I probably guessed it."

"So you see how deep the pit is."

"I'm sorry." Liu Yunxiang apologized again, this time with more sincerity.

Yan Mu let out a sigh of relief, "You asked them to kill Han Zicheng?"

"Um."

"well done."

Yan Mu sent her back to the mansion, changed her clothes and entered the palace. When he left, he asked her to rest early and not wait for him, but how could Liu Yunxiang sleep? After waiting until dawn, Yan Mu was all wet

's return.

The rain was still falling, and he knelt in the rain for His Highness all night.

The emperor did not see him, but asked the eunuch to tell him in the morning that since the murderer had been caught and brought to justice, the case should be closed as soon as possible.

"Do you really want to close the case like this?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

Yan Mu shook his head, "Wait a little longer."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Waiting for someone to show up."

Now that the emperor has spoken, the case should be closed as soon as possible. Yan Mu wanted to delay it, so he had to find an excuse. He happened to be caught in the rain all night, and he was indeed sick, so he simply made the illness worse. After all, the emperor was thinking

It was very clear why his body was so weak.

After breakfast, Liu Yunxiang stood in front of the house. It had been raining all night. At this time, the rain was still not letting up, and it was raining fast. Jinyan led Xingyi and Yan'er to play in the hall, and it became cold.

, both children put on jackets.

At this time, Zijin came back from outside in the rain. She had asked her to go to Qu Moran's place to guard him during the past few nights, fearing that Wei Hai would cause trouble for them.

"Is everything okay at Sister Qu's place?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

Zijin nodded, "In the past few days, Wei Hai has gone out early and returned late, but he hasn't seen anyone else. He has never shown up at the medical clinic. He is quite honest and responsible."

"He is not an honest person."

"By the way, Brother Qi found a man who knows a lot and knows the basics. Doctor Qu left him behind and told me that I don't need to go there tonight."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "That's fine. I've been running around these days. Thank you for your hard work."

Zijin smiled, "I really like the braised pig's trotters at Doctor Qu's house at the entrance of the alley."

Liu Yunxiang pushed Zi Jin's forehead with his hand, "You are so good at eating, whoever dares to marry you in the future will probably not be able to support you."

Zijin frowned, "I won't get married. I have a girl to support me. I can eat whatever I want and as much as I can."

Jin Yan in the room heard this and said with a smile: "You are quite clever!"

"Sister Jinyan is the one who should get married. She doesn't have much to eat, but she's still virtuous!"

"Hey, you little girl!"

The two started chasing each other, and Xingyi and Yaner were bored, so they quickly joined the fight, and the room was filled with their laughter.

Liu Yunxiang turned her head and looked outside again. She remembered that in her previous life, from autumn to winter, there was always rain and snow, which even caused disasters.

"By the way, girl, when I was just out buying steamed buns, someone said that the Jiangnan Mansion at the junction of East City and West City collapsed, and several people were buried underneath."

Liu Yunxiang remembered what he heard at the wonton stall that night. The Jiangnan Mansion was in disrepair for a long time, and Qin Sheng'an even arranged for the children to live in it. The rich moved out, and the poor stayed there.

"Is the government helping us?"

"I heard that no one was in charge, and it was raining heavily. The land was low-lying, and people were drowned if not crushed to death."

"His Royal Highness is in charge of this autumn palace. He didn't go there?"

Zijin curled his lips, "I said I couldn't find anyone at first, but finally I found him in Flower Street. I was drunk last night and couldn't wake up."

Liu Yunxiang sneered coldly, "Leave the Qiu Wei matter to him, and the emperor will have tasted the bitter consequences."

Moreover, these actions are no better than ordinary people. They can only be comforted or frightened at most. They are not afraid of trouble. The literati in the world can easily be twisted into a rope. If the court does not handle it properly, the Qiu Wei cannot be held normally, and there will be more

Cause turmoil.

Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to inquire again. She wanted to see who would come forward at this time.

After lunch, Liu Yunxiang saw Yan Mu leaning on the Arhat bed and reading a book, his face still not looking good: "I asked the kitchen to make ginseng soup for you, and I'll bring you a bowl."

"No, it will be more convincing if you look sicker."

"You can't really drag yourself down."

"Need not."

Liu Yunxiang saw that Yan Mu still lowered his head to read, and after talking to him for a while, he didn't even raise his head or look at her. Liu Yunxiang frowned, this person was still angry with her, it was a bit too much.

She was about to have a nice chat with him when Jin Yan came over and said that the eldest princess and Mrs. Dingyuan Hou were here, so they were waiting in the front hall and asked if they saw her.

The corner of Liu Yunxiang's mouth twitched. Everyone had entered the house. Can she not see her? Besides, this mother-in-law also moved in with the eldest princess.

She straightened her clothes and then went to the front hall. When she entered the door, she saw the two of them sitting upright, with both faces looking bad, and she couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh, it's a rainy day. It's cold and the road is slippery. How come you two, eldest princess and old lady, are here? You must have something terrible going on. You can't wait for a while, right?"

Liu Yunxiang walked in and hurriedly asked the maids to prepare charcoal fire, hot tea and snacks.

As soon as she walked in, Mrs. Dingyuan Hou stood up suddenly. She was probably really angry, and the wrinkles on her face were trembling.

"I asked His Highness the Seventh Prince to help me find my daughter. When she was not found, there were rumors that my daughter-in-law was pregnant! There is a chastity memorial arch outside our Marquis' Mansion. If you pour this dirty water on her, you might want her to be hit and killed by that arch.

Down?"

Liu Yunxiang pretended to be surprised, "Ah, who spread such words?"

"Don't say you don't know!"
