037 Journey south along the Yangtze River (3)

A few days later, Jiangnan Inspectorate.

The night is getting deeper, but the candles are still burning in the study. There is a stack of documents on the desk, and a book is spread out in the middle. In just a few lines of regular characters, a bloody incident twenty years ago is recorded.

.

"The Lan family of Yecheng has been a general for generations. They are good at wearing long silk, have great military achievements, and are loyal to the late emperor... The Marquis of Guangling falsely accused him of collaborating with the enemy, but the emperor believed it and punished the nine tribes..."

Mu Ziling's eyes fell on a few lines of regular characters and said slowly: "What do you mean, she is the queen of the Lan family?"

Yan Sang on the side said: "There are not many people in the world who use Bai Ling, and they can make it so exquisite. Only the true inheritance of the Delan family can do it."

"The entire Kelan family was wiped out, and it is almost impossible to survive."

Yan Sang hesitated and said: "I have heard some...rumors from the world, but I don't know if they are credible."

"you say."

"Back then, Miss Lan family left home and traveled around the country. It was said that she had learned the art of changing her voice and her appearance. Before going to the execution ground, she changed the maid to look like her, and she escaped."

Mu Ziling suddenly raised his eyes when he heard this, "The art of changing one's voice and changing one's appearance?"

Yan Sang nodded, "The rumors are like this. I have also heard rumors that the Thousand-Faced Thief is the Miss Lan family back then."

Mu Ziling chuckled, "It seems there is a real connection. Can those men in black find out where they came from?"

Yan Sang shook his head, "There are no clues yet, but who has the courage to assassinate you, the prince? So my subordinates suspect that it is the emperor..."

Mu Ziling waved her hand and interrupted him: "There is a Queen Mother in the palace, and she does not have the ability to secretly cultivate a group of killers."

At this time, Ye Jiaoxi pushed the door open and saw the two people discussing. She frowned and said: "I saw the light in the study was still on from a distance. Sure enough, you are talking about some shameful things again. It's so late.

Come on, Yan Sang, what's the matter that you can't talk about tomorrow? Don't you know that the prince is still injured?"

Yan Sang hurriedly said: "What the princess said is that my subordinates are resigning." After saying that, he walked out as if running away.

Mu Ziling burst into laughter, put away the books on the desk and put them aside. He stood up and said, "Back then, after I was hit by an arrow, I rode my horse for several miles to chase the enemy. Now it's just such a small injury. Is it okay for you?"

Ye Jiaoxi couldn't help but get angry after hearing this, "Yes, I won't! I'm making a fuss out of a molehill! Don't care about your boss anymore!" After saying that, he threw away his hands and turned to leave.

Mu Ziling hurriedly grabbed her, and with a slight force, she took her into his arms, "I didn't mean that."

"Then what do you mean?" Ye Jiaoxi looked up and stared at him.

Mu Ziling looked down at her, his deep and dark black eyes seemed to suck people in, "I just want to reassure you, I'm really fine, you don't have to feel sorry all the time."

Ye Jiaoxi slowly lowered his head and said, "I told you earlier that you were too stupid. I don't feel sorry for you. You are overthinking."

Mu Ziling chuckled lightly, "Yes, I am too stupid." Suddenly he said in a deep voice: "I have already said it, I am willing to do this."

The low voices burst into Ye Jiaoxi's heart. She was slightly stunned. Her fine eyelashes were raised inadvertently, and her bright eyes were like autumn water, with a soft wave of light. Mu Ziling suddenly lowered his head and placed a soft light on her fair forehead.

With one kiss, the warm and soft feeling slowly spread throughout her body and flowed into her heart.

Ye Jiaoxi tilted her head a little at a loss, her eyes flickering, and she wanted to turn around and run away immediately, but she seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move a step. Mu Ziling did not allow her to escape, and stretched out her arms to hold her in her arms, whispering.
