Chapter 108: Two birds with one stone
Today is the fifth day of March. If Mu Shiyu remembers correctly, Lin Junchen will invite all the adults to one of his secret courtyards tonight to win over them. If they fail to win over, he will use threats.
After three rounds of drinking, Lin Junchen directly pulled out a group of servants as rewards. Among them, there was also a piano player who played the most melodious music to heighten the atmosphere.
The violinist was from Jilefang, so Mu Shiyu naturally took her place.
"Remember to plug your ears for a while and just watch quietly." Mu Shiyu explained.
The only person Mu Shiyu has met who can't control herself after listening to her music is Lin Junrong.
However, she didn't know how Lin Junrong did it.
She can't do it yet and can only control specific objects, except corpses.
When the time was almost up, Mu Shiyu wore a veil and walked into the smoke-filled room. Fu Lu followed her with Qin in his arms. The adults were already drunk and began to move their hands up and down the woman in their arms.
Mu Shiyu played the piano in an orderly manner, and suddenly the sound of the piano changed. This year, there were a few more notes, giving it a slightly different meaning.
Fu Lu couldn't hear the sound and could only look at the people in the room. He obviously didn't do anything, but his face showed an expression of excitement, excitement, and even lust.
At this time, without anyone paying attention, the guards outside suddenly fell down one after another.
Fu Lu walked out of the house when no one was paying attention to her.
In the courtyard, the expressions on the faces of every guard were exactly the same as those of the people in the house.
However, the next moment, an arm stretched out from his chest and then retracted it. When he turned around, he saw only a shriveled mummy with a still-beating heart in his hand.
Then, the hearts were fed into his mouth and eaten by the shriveled corpses.
Even though Fu Lu was someone who had been on the battlefield, he couldn't help but tremble with fear when he saw this scene. Seeing them deliciously eating the warm hearts, he couldn't help but feel acid reflux in his stomach.
Vomit.
Fu Lu didn't dare to look anymore and shifted his gaze. He saw King Rong's secret guard, who could no longer hide his figure after hearing the sound of the piano, and had the same expression.
Fu Lu looked at the scene in the garden with horror. If the princess was willing, she could manipulate everyone and even make him die when he was happiest.
However, the princess was willing to give her a chance to wake up and did not deprive her of the chance to live.
She still remembered Yun Huan. Although she had never fought against her, she didn't think she could defeat Yun Huan.
The dead guards and the corpses that came from nowhere slowly sank into the soil, and Fu Lu also returned to Mu Shiyu.
Mu Shiyu asked Fu Lu to put away the piano and walked away in a big way, while everyone was still immersed in the beautiful dream that Mu Shiyu had weaved for them.
Returning to the Hou Mansion, Fu Lu did not return to his room.
"Go and spread the news tomorrow, saying that it is a yard that eats people. Once you go in, you can't get out, and there won't even be corpses left." Mu Shiyu cleaned her hands and confessed.
"Yes." Fu Lu could no longer resist.
"Isn't the play good tonight?" Mu Shiyu said with a smile, but Fu Lu felt that it was a biting cold.
"Princess, have mercy on me!" Fu Lu quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
"I have no intention of killing you, and I don't need a second Yunhuan. The fact that I tell you this means that I trust you enough, and I hope you won't betray my trust."
Fu Lu kowtowed three times, "Thank you for your trust, Princess. I will never let you down."
Yuan Yi and Yuan Ru were indeed loyal, but they did not have Fu Lu's martial arts skills. There were some things that Fu Lu still needed to do. Otherwise, Mu Shiyu wouldn't have gone to such trouble.
Tonight is also to better intimidate Fu Lu and make her more loyal.
However, it can be considered as killing two birds with one stone.
When Fu Lu lets the rumor out, the ministers invited by Lin Junchen tonight will think more carefully.
After all, this is not the only thing waiting for Lin Junchen.
"Okay, let's go down and have a rest."
Fu Lu got the order and quickly retreated. She needed to digest everything that happened tonight.
Mu Shiyu lay comfortably on the bed, thinking about what to do next.
Lin Junchen has been in the imperial court for so many years, and his power can be said to be indestructible.
That's why Lin Junrong chose to go on the battlefield. Because these places are relatively weak for Lin Junchen's power.
If he directly chooses to fight Lin Junchen face to face in the court, he will lose miserably.
Therefore, his next task is to undermine the loyalty of Lin Junchen's ministers.
Lin Junrong has magic spot poison on her body, which is considered to be an ominous omen by everyone. Then she will treat him in the same way as others. She wants to make Lin Junchen an ominous person who will be despised by thousands of people.
Tonight is just the beginning!
Early the next morning, there was a rumor spreading in the capital.
There is a nice courtyard in the east part of the city, where several high-ranking adults often go to recite poems and compose poems.
Last night, a strange thing happened.
After the gentlemen had a good time drinking and talking, some ghosts came to haunt them and dragged their guards into the eighteenth level of hell.
Everyone speculated that perhaps these adults had done something shady, and the guards often came into contact with them, so the ghost mistakenly recognized the wrong person and directly dragged the guards, their souls, and their bodies into the underworld.
Otherwise, how could there be no body and just disappear out of thin air?
A few days later, someone discovered that the corpses appeared in the mass graves. All of them had their hearts ripped out, with expressions of enjoyment on their faces.
The rumors became more and more intense and spread more and more horrifyingly. It was even rumored that Concubine Mu was dragged into a mass grave by a corpse, and then the ghosts discovered that they had arrested the wrong person and released her back.
Regarding the rumors about Mu Shihua, it was Mu Shiyu who released Cheng Mu, and Cheng Mu just told the reason why he came to the capital.
"Second Miss, I have followed your instructions. Then I will go back to the dungeon of Prince Li's Mansion." Mu Shiyu secretly met Cheng Mu in Quanyong Tower.
Mu Shiyu asked in astonishment, "Cheng Mu, what's wrong with you? Are you addicted to living in a dungeon?"
Unexpectedly, Cheng Mu said with a mournful expression, "Second Miss, I don't want to either. I was hit by a pillar just after I came out of the dungeon! If it weren't for the quick eyesight and quick hands of the guards of Prince Li's Mansion, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to complete your order.
If something happens, you will die."
Mu Shiyu doesn't have the Yin Yang and Five Elements skills, so she can't help in this regard.
"Then you go back. Jun Rong will be back in Qingming. If he likes you, he might be able to teach you how to deal with this situation." Mu Shiyu said.
After all, looking at him like this, he is still a bit pitiful.
Hearing Mu Shiyu said that Lin Junrong was coming back, Cheng Mu was so happy that he jumped back to Prince Li's Mansion.
