Chapter 24: Killed


With Xiao Ziluo by his side, Mu Yan could leave the palace unimpeded.

After hurriedly returning to Zuiyun Tower, Mu Yan saw the surprised look in Dawa's eyes when he looked at him, quickly strode over, and asked softly: "Brother Qi, are you and the others here?"

Shaking his head in confusion, Da Wa cautiously glanced at Xiao Ziluo behind Mu Yan, and said defensively: "I just went out, I don't know when I will be back."

Nodding silently, Mu Yan was about to walk out the door.

When he reached the door, he stopped as if he remembered something.

He looked back at Da Wa, who was still standing there with a defensive look on his face, and ordered: "If they come back, tell them to go to the ground."

Brother, look for me there.”

He and Xiao Ziluo walked non-stop towards the mansion located on the edge of the capital.

As soon as Mu Yan approached, he found Huan Yinfeng and Ling Hongran guarding the door with gloomy expressions.

I remembered that these two people were close confidants around me.

If they were here, mediocre should be here too.

Deliberately slowing down, Mu Yan coughed softly.

Then under the fiery gazes of Huan Yinfeng and the two men, Mu Yan walked over with a smile and entered the courtyard with a calm expression.

Xiao Ziluo, on the other hand, followed her without saying a word, watching her whereabouts all the time.

Slowly walking into the spacious backyard, as soon as Mu Yan appeared, Xiao Bai suddenly rushed over and was almost crushed to the ground.

"You beast" helplessly dodged Xiaobai's approach.

After Mu Yan smiled bitterly and had some fun with it, he knelt down and patted Xiaobai's soft hair comfortingly.

Then he raised his head and looked at the other people who came out because they heard Xiaobai's restless voice.

Mu Yan stood up with a smile.

"Yan'er."

Calling Mu Yan's name, Leng Yan'er walked to Mu Yan's side anxiously, looked into Mu Yan's smiling eyes, and asked uneasily: "Where have you been these days?

Hei Chu and I have searched almost all over the capital, but there is no trace of you."

"I'm just under house arrest."

Mu Yan mocked himself with a sneer.

Mu Yan cast a meaningful glance at Xiao Ziluo beside him, and then glanced at Pingfan Ruizhu and the others.

He said softly: "Brother Ping, I have something to do with you later.

You can wait for me in the study.

Yan'er, come into the room with me.

I have something to ask you."

After walking into the room with Mu Yan, Leng Yan'er looked up and down and saw Xiao Ziluo, whom she had been caring about since the beginning.

Frowning, Leng Yaner asked coldly: "Yan'er, who is he?"

"The person sent by the emperor to monitor me."

After unabashedly revealing Xiao Ziluo's identity, Mu Yan chuckled and sat down at the table, brazenly discussing the events of the past few days with Leng Yan'er.

"Has there been any progress during my absence?"

"This" After listening to Mu Yan's question, the expression on Leng Yan'er's face began to change.

Lowering his head with twinkling eyes and remaining silent for a long time, Leng Yaner finally summoned up the courage to tell Mu Yan the truth.

"Feng Xiaoling's three men were assassinated."

"What?"

Mu Yan was startled and looked at Leng Yan'er in disbelief.

Seeing the expression on Leng Yan'er's face that didn't look like he was joking, Mu Yan slowly came back to his senses.

"When did it happen?"

"On the night you disappeared."

Was he killed because of a traitor?

Turning his head, Mu Yan silently met Xiao Ziluo's eyes with a scrutinizing gaze.

Understanding what Mu Yan was suspecting, Xiao Ziluo shook his head proactively and said, "They are not our people.

If the emperor really wanted to kill him, he would have done it long ago.

There is no need to wait until now."

With a cold snort, Mu Yan withdrew his gaze from Xiao Ziluo.

Continue to ask Leng Yaner what happened.

"Who was keeping watch that night?"

"Lingyin and Yaxuan are still lying on the bed.

According to their memories, there were three assassins that night.

They started to kill three men in different rooms at the same time.

The weather is so bad now "It's hot, we can't keep the body, and we don't know when you will come back, so we have to deal with it in advance."

Leng Yan'er confided to Mu Yan in a low tone, and Leng Yan'er's expression revealed anger and uneasiness.

"This matter must be related to the mole, otherwise how could the killer know the location of the three people so clearly?"

They killed three of Feng Xiaoling's men, but did not touch Feng Xiaoling.

Why Closing his eyes, Mu Yan thought hard about this matter.

The night he disappeared was spent in Xia Yifeng's palace.

And Xia Yifeng spent most of that day with him.

Although he went out for a while at night, if he really wanted to take action that day, his target should be Murong Zixuan.

Mu Yan has not forgotten Xia Yifeng's gloomy expression and eyes that day because of Murong Zixuan.

Could it be said that it was Murong Zixuan who did this?

Mu Yan clenched his fist calmly and stopped mentioning the matter.

He just comforted Leng Yan'er softly, "He's a useless cripple anyway, so just kill him."

Then he asked about Yin Mengyuan's condition.

After learning that Yin Mengyuan was still as crazy as ever, Mu Yan stood up and met Xiao Ziluo's eyes.

Standing there quietly, Mu Yan looked at Xiao Ziluo without saying a word.

Time passed by, and just when Xiao Ziluo was already feeling uncomfortable being stared at by Mu Yan, Mu Yan finally spoke.

"I want to bring two people into the palace.

I wonder if Sir Xiao will allow it?"

The corner of Xiao Ziluo's mouth twitched when Mu Yan called him.

After lowering his eyes and thinking for a while, Xiao Ziluo responded: "The emperor only asked me to protect the empress, and did not ask for other things.

If the empress really wants to take people back to the palace, Ziluo has nothing to say."

"Okay, your words are enough."

Nodding with satisfaction and smiling, Mu Yan told Leng Yaner to pack his things and wait for Qi Heichu to come back and enter the palace with him.

Mu Yan didn't know how long she would stay in the palace, nor when she would be able to find out the truth of the matter.

Just looking at the current development of things, Xia Yifeng has no intention of allowing himself to leave the palace.

Therefore, Mu Yan could only move his position from here to the palace.

Although the huge palace seems to be peaceful now, Mu Yan has already vaguely seen the uneasiness in the future.

Although Xia Yifeng has ascended the throne now, as for the other descendants of the late emperor, Mu Yan would not be so stupid as to think that Xia Yuanfeng only has two sons, Xia Yifeng and Xia Mingyi.

The more docile something looks, the more ferocious it is.

Those with horns don't eat meat.

This is something Mu Yan has known for a long time.

If there is chaos in the palace, the first thing Mu Yan must do is to keep himself and his two children safe.

So it’s not a bad idea to have a few more trustworthy people around you.

If he really wanted to investigate Murong Zixuan, Mu Yan would have to get Xia Yifeng's permission before he could leave the palace.

And it would be too much of a waste of time to consult with Leng Yaner and the others every time he came out of the palace.

"Yan'er, I'm going to discuss something with Fanfan.

You can clean up first."

As he walked towards the door, Mu Yan suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiao Ziluo seriously.

Said: "As for Yin Mengyuan, let's take her back too.

I think it's almost time for Xia Yifeng to use her
