Stealing Hook [Rebirth]

Lian Mufeng neatly tied up the two servants who had given the medicine and threw them into the courtyard, but he didn't feel embarrassed to enter the house again, and just stood outside the door dryly, not knowing whether he was guarding the two or waiting for Mo Yuan.

Not long after, Mo Yuan came out of the room, wearing a loose and thin shirt, his slightly damp long hair was not pulled up, and was tied casually with a piece of black silk behind him, he was smiling, with a calm expression, He didn't seem to care about the fact that he was almost poisoned, and he seemed to have forgotten the embarrassment behind the screen.

Lian Mufeng looked at his breezy appearance, his chest felt suffocated, his eyes fell on his thin clothes, he paused, turned around and went to the room to find a long gown and put it on him: "It's cool in the night , you just took a shower and came out to blow air, you should wear more."

Mo Yuan turned his head to look at him, with a natural smile on his lips: "Thank you."

When Lian Mufeng met his gaze, he felt his scalp go numb, inexplicably having the illusion that he had seen through him from head to toe, but strangely, he didn't feel any displeasure.

King Xuan saw this scene when he heard the news and rushed over. Although he didn't hear what they were talking about, he felt that the two of them were too close. Feeling emotional, he walked into the courtyard quickly: "What happened?"

Lian Mufeng raised his eyebrows, strode down the steps, with a smile on his face, pointed to the two attendants on the ground and said: "I also ask the prince to forgive me for the crime of overstepping and acting on my behalf. These two are really vicious. Mr. Yao's soup was poisoned, and I happened to see them doing things, and I couldn't be more angry, so I tied them up and waited for the prince to deal with it."

King Xuan was shocked: "There is such a thing?" He hurriedly looked at Mo Yuan again, "Ayao, are you okay?"

Mo Yuan shook his head and said with a smile, "It's okay, fortunately, Master Lian Shao found out in time."

King Xuan hurriedly thanked Lian Mufeng, but secretly hated him for meddling in his own business.

Lian Mufeng smiled coldly: "I don't know what the person who poisoned me is thinking. If I come a step late, I'm afraid the suspicion will fall on me, and I won't be able to clear it up even if I jump into the Yellow River. Could it be that this person wants to provoke What is my relationship with Mr. Mo or with the lord? We are about to leave, if there is a gap between us, this trip to the south may not be so smooth."

These words can be regarded as finding a high-sounding excuse for meddling in other people's affairs, even Mu Feng said it plausibly, but Xuan Wang almost vomited blood when he heard it, and cursed in his heart: Who would have thought that you would come here in the middle of the night!

Mo Yuan lowered his head to hide the smile in his eyes.

King Xuan's expression was condensed: "Wang Zhong, go ask Dr. Li to come over for a drug test." Looking at the two attendants shaking like chaff on the ground, he said in a deep voice, "Take them down and interrogate them carefully. If there is a grudge between people, this king wants to see who is trying to harm him!"

Wang Zhong looked at the nose and the heart, and commanded the guards to escort the man away knowingly.

Not long after, Dr. Li came to test for drugs in a hurry. The rugs and soup bowls in the house had been moved to the courtyard. He squatted down with a lamp in his hand to examine them carefully. It is indeed poisonous, and those who are poisoned will suffer from heart-piercing and bone-piercing pain, and if there is no antidote, they will live and die in pain all day and night."

Lian Mufeng's eyes were as cold as cold stars, and he asked in a deep voice, "If there is an antidote?"

Dr. Li said: "It's good to take the antidote in time, if you take it more than an hour after the poison occurs, even if the poison is cured, the body will suffer great damage."

Lian Mufeng clenched his hands behind his back into fists.

King Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Ayao, I will definitely give you an explanation!"

Mo Yuan lowered his eyes, not surprised by favor or humiliation: "Thank you, my lord."

Not long after, Wang Zhong hurried over and whispered something in King Xuan's ear. King Xuan narrowed his eyes and ordered in a deep voice, "Go and tie Hengze here!"

Mo Yuan raised his eyes in surprise, his brows raised and lowered, and the sarcasm in his pupils was covered by the dim night under the eaves.

Hengze was carried by two palace guards with their arms crossed. His hair was in a disheveled bun and his pretty face was filled with tears. He was pressed to kneel in the middle of the courtyard and turned to look at King Xuan in panic: "My lord, what did Hengze do?" wrong?"

King Xuan shouted in a deep voice, "You asked someone to poison Ah Yao?"

Hengze's eyes dodged, tears became more fierce, and he shook his head again and again: "I didn't! I have no grievances with him, how could I do such a thing? Someone must have framed him!"

King Xuan pursed his lips tightly, his face full of displeasure.

Wang Zhong took a step forward and spread his hands, revealing two shining night pearls in his palms: "The two servants who poisoned you have already confessed that you bought them with these two night pearls that the prince rewarded you."

Hengze was stunned on the spot, as if he forgot to cry, and suddenly smiled with tears hanging down his face. The panic on his face was replaced by the determination after accepting his fate. It's a poison for people."

Mo Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression was calm, and there seemed to be no smile on his lips.

Hengze looked at him resentfully: "I hate him. In the past three years, if the prince looked at him more, my hatred would increase. But I know that the prince reuses him, so I never thought of killing him. The next time I poisoned him, I just wanted to make him suffer to relieve his hatred.” He took out a boxy flat paper bag from his waist, “This is the antidote I have prepared, please examine it by Dr. Li. "

Lian Mufeng paid attention to Mo Yuan's reaction without any trace, seeing that he was calm as if he was not involved, so he had to suppress the questions that came up several times.

Doctor Li nodded to King Xuan after checking the medicine powder in the paper bag.

King Xuan closed his eyes, with a disappointed expression on his face: "Hengze, I always thought you were very smart, but I never thought you were so stupid. Now that you have confessed, then please apologize to Ayao, first come here and kowtow to Ayao to admit your mistake."

Hengze straightened his back, silently resisting.

King Xuan's face darkened: "Kneel down!"

The left and right guards immediately hit his legs with sticks, only to hear a "plop", and Hengze's knee hit the brick. He stared at King Xuan with wide eyes and aggrieved: "If you want to be punished, why bother to trample others? I won't die." I will apologize to him!"

King Xuan's complexion became even uglier, he took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Stick punishment."

Mo Yuan rolled his eyes silently.

It was a cane punishment, not a cane death. Hengze's status in King Xuan's backyard was really extraordinary, but unfortunately he didn't know this in his previous life. In the end, he capsized in the gutter and died under the arrow of an insignificant person like Hengze.

King Xuan walked up to Mo Yuan, and said guiltily, "I didn't take good care of the people in the backyard, causing you to suffer again."

Mo Yuan was overwhelmed with flattery: "My lord's words really hurt me! My life belongs to my lord, so you don't have to worry about it, let alone this matter has nothing to do with him."

King Xuan sighed: "Three years ago when you first entered the mansion, this kind of thing happened several times, and now after three years, someone has murdered you again, and it all happened because of me, how can you say that it has nothing to do with me? You are my most effective counselor, I have only respect for you, but those short-sighted people in the backyard have repeatedly misunderstood you, it is my fault for not being strict in discipline. If that is the case, from today onwards, let them all disperse."

Mo Yuan was shocked and said: "The prince must never..."

King Xuan waved his hand: "No need to say more, let's make this decision."

Mo Yuan bowed his head and stopped talking, but there was a coldness in his eyes.

In his previous life, King Xuan disbanded the peach blossoms and willows in the backyard at about this time. The purpose was to wash away the stains on his own character and prepare for forcing the palace to usurp the throne. At that time, he was still in Lianjiabao. In detail, when he learned that the emperor was forced to commit suicide by drinking poison, on the one hand, he was unwilling because he had not had time to kill his enemies, and on the other hand, he was grateful to the famous King Xuan who had interceded for his parents. Full of expectations, he ran to the capital to beg him to reverse the case...

This was the most regrettable thing he had ever done in his previous life.

Now that he has seen the true face of King Xuan, he naturally doesn't believe that King Xuan's move is a virtuous corporal, but he was a little surprised. Three years ago, King Xuan poisoned himself several times and let the male favorite in the backyard take the place, because at that time his origin was unknown, he He was trying to test whether he had really abolished his martial arts or used his superb medical skills to create an illusion, but now that three years have passed, he has already trusted himself more, why did he suddenly start playing this trick again?He is doubting himself?

Mo Yuan's contemplation was interrupted by a muffled groan of pain, he raised his head, and met Heng Ze who was lying on a bench in the courtyard and leaning against the board.

There was a strong undisguised hatred in those beautiful eyes.

Mo Yuan raised his eyebrows, looked back at him calmly, saw that his body was beaten to a bloody mess, and never pleaded for mercy for him, the hapless male favorite who made a scapegoat.

In two lifetimes before and after, those who should be enmity finally end up enmity.

Seeing his indifference, King Xuan clenched his hands behind his back tightly in his sleeves. Seeing that Hengze was beaten out of breath, he finally couldn't help but said, "It's all right, throw him out of the house!" Looking at Mo Yuan, "What do you think?"

Mo Yuan nodded: "That should be the case. After all, I didn't drink the poison, and I'm still standing here, so I won't let him pay for it with my life."

The board had already stopped over there, but Wang Zhong noticed that Hengze hadn't moved. He stepped forward to check his breath, and said in surprise, "I'm out of breath."

King Xuan was stunned: "...call his family to come and collect the corpse."

Mo Yuan raised his eyes and stared at the silent Hengze, secretly thinking that he must find a chance to find out the truth.

After a while, the guards carried Heng Ze away, and Dr. Li also left with his hands. The courtyard suddenly became quiet. King Xuan turned his head to look at Lian Mufeng, and said with a smile, "I don't know why Master Lian came to Ayao's place late at night. thing?"

Lian Mufeng pretended not to hear the dissatisfaction in his tone, took out the contract and handed it to him: "This is the contract for this cooperation, originally intended to be presented to the prince by Mr. Mo Yao, now that the prince is here, Then it will be handed over to you directly, please take a look."

King Xuan laughed and said, "Let's give it to Ayao first. If there is anything that needs to be changed, Ayao can make the decision. It's not too late to show me after it's confirmed."

Lian Mufeng looked at Mo Yuan and handed over the contract.

Mo Yuan raised his eyes and smiled at him, then reached out to take it.

The three of them looked calm, as if the previous commotion had never happened.

The author has something to say: Young Castle Master: Put on your clothes, don't catch cold.

Mo Yuan: Thank you!

Young Castle Master: How can I thank you?

Mo Yuan: ... [silently take off the clothes you just put on]

Young Castle Lord:! ! !
