Chapter 133 The Regent Has a Beautiful Girl in His Golden House (40)

Suddenly, Tang Cuo seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly stood up and distanced himself from Murong Yuan, "A Yuan, don't come near me first."

Seeing the sudden action, a trace of confusion flashed through Murong Yuan's mind, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

"Just now in the carriage, they forced me to drink a cup of tea with something in it. I'm afraid it's something contagious..." Tang Cuo's eyes twitched a little.

"After we go back, I'll have to trouble you to set up a small courtyard for me. Before we know what the infectious disease is, keep them away from me."

Hearing his words, Murong Yuan was not afraid. Instead, he raised his hand and pulled him to his side.

Tang Cuo jumped up almost reflexively, but was held down by Murong Yuan. "Your Highness, A Yuan is not afraid, and don't distance yourself from me because of this." As he spoke, a smile appeared on the corners of his lips.

"Don't worry. After we return home, A Yuan will find a specialized doctor to treat your body."

"Okay then..." Seeing his actions, Tang Cuo nodded, indicating his agreement.

Anyway, those people shouldn't kill him so quickly, there should still be time...

The night was dark and the stars were hanging in the sky. At this moment, most people in the Rong'an Palace had left, and only the big red lanterns were still hanging high on both sides of the gate.

Mu Hanqing's eyes were clear, and even though he had drunk a lot, he didn't look drunk at all. He walked towards the bedroom in the main courtyard and opened the door.

Seeing bright red decorations everywhere, he couldn't help but be startled. Mu Hanqing looked up at Guan Shang who was sitting on the couch, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then stood still.

After not seeing anyone coming for a long time, Guan Shang asked in confusion: "My Lord, is that you?"

Mu Hanqing picked up the golden mandarin duck staff beside her, lifted up her red veil and threw it aside.

Guan Shang looked up at him, her eyes full of love, "Prince, are you drunk tonight?" She stood up and took a few steps towards Mu Hanqing.

Mu Hanqing lowered his head, staring at her, then raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and he said slowly: "A Shang, Li Beichao's ambitions have been fully revealed recently. As the regent of the Rong Dynasty, I should help your majesty solve problems. I am afraid I can't accompany you tonight."

The night is deep and the dew is heavy, you should take a rest first."

Mu Hanqing's tone was gentle and coaxing, which made Guan Shang unconsciously dazzled. She nodded subconsciously, "Your Highness, you should also take care of your health while you are working for the country, and don't be too tired."

"Thank you, Shang, for your understanding. Once things are settled, I will spend more time with you." As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Hanqing took a few steps back, turned around and left the bedroom.

Guan Shang watched his back, with a little more infatuation in his eyes.

Mu Hanqing walked out of the bedroom in the main courtyard and walked steadily towards the side courtyard. The corners of his lips rose slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile: I wonder how Acuo would react when he saw him coming.

He stepped into the side yard. The lights in the room were off and it seemed that he was asleep.

Mu Hanqing calmly pushed open the door, his eyes fell solemnly on the bed, and then he took a few steps forward steadily. Looking at the empty bed, his brows knitted tightly.

Mu Hanqing raised his hand to light the oil lamp beside him, then looked around for a moment and called out softly a few times: "Acuo?"

After calling out several times, no one responded. The aura around Mu Hanqing suddenly became cold. He stepped out of the bedroom and clapped his hands.

Rongcuo, who was outside the door, immediately walked in and stood in front of him respectfully, "Your Majesty."

He suppressed the anger in his heart, clenched his fists and asked, "Where is Tangcuo?"

Hearing his question, Rongcuo hurriedly replied, "I will go and ask the person guarding the other courtyard right away."

Mu Hanqing sat upright on a stone chair in the courtyard, his fingers tightly clasped together. His gaze was cold and his eyes were getting redder.

After a while, Rong Cuo brought a few people who were floating in the air and came in front of Mu Hanqing.

Several people looked at his expression, knelt on the ground together, and lowered their heads, "Your Majesty..."

"Where are the Tangcuo people?"

"I failed to take good care of the place. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

"Failed to supervise? You are the masters I carefully selected and trained, but you can't even supervise one person. Or is it that without the war, your abilities have degenerated to this extent?" Mu Hanqing tapped the table with his fingers. "Tell me carefully, what exactly happened?"

“Your Majesty…Your Majesty…You are having a wedding banquet today, and there are many guests attending the banquet in the palace. In order to protect the safety of the guests, many people have been selected to form a temporary patrol team.

The rest of us had been paying attention to Mr. Tang's movements. Suddenly, someone came with a few glasses of wine, saying that it was to add some good luck to your wedding banquet, and asked us to drink some.

I drank a few sips and immediately passed out..."

"Ha!" Mu Hanqing sneered, then stood up and ordered Rong Cuo beside him, "Seal the city gates immediately. From now on, no one is allowed to go out. If His Majesty asks for accountability, just say that an assassin attacked the Rong'an Palace at night and took away someone very important to the king.

Also, check everyone who came into contact with them and entered the palace tonight, and don't let any of them go."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Also, bring a few people with you. I want to go see the Left Prime Minister." Mu Hanqing looked at the kneeling people with cold eyes. "As for them, they are not doing their job well. I don't need useless people in the Rong'an Palace."

"Yes, I'll take care of it right away." Feeling the pressure in Mu Hanqing's tone, Rong Cuo unconsciously lightened his breathing.

A moment later, Mu Hanqing and a few others arrived at the Left Prime Minister's Mansion.

Rongcuo went forward and knocked on the door.

The dark brown door opened a crack, and the guard walked out quickly. He squinted his eyes, and didn't really look at who was coming in front of him. He just casually said, "It's late at night, our left prime minister doesn't see guests, please go back."

"How dare you! Do you know who you are talking to?" Rong Cuo said in a serious tone.

Hearing his words, the man's eyes widened a little, and then he bowed hurriedly, "I didn't know it was His Royal Highness Prince Rong'an who came to visit. Please forgive me for my lack of vision."

"Has the Left Prime Minister returned home?"

"Your Majesty, our Prime Minister has gone to bed."

"Just inform him that I have something important to discuss with him." Mu Hanqing's tone was indifferent, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

"Your Highness, to be honest, our Prime Minister does not receive guests tonight. How about you come back tomorrow morning?" The man observed his expression carefully.

"Rong Cuo, is it because I haven't been in front of the officials for many years that they have forgotten that I am an unreasonable person?" Mu Hanqing's eyes deepened and he chuckled.

Hearing his words, Rong Cuo understood instantly. He stepped forward and put a dagger on the man's neck. "Our prince wants to see the left prime minister. Lead the way."

Feeling the sharp blade against him, the man couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and then stammered, "Okay...Okay, I'll lead you right away...right away."

As soon as the words fell, several people followed the man's steps and walked towards Xiao Chengyu's main courtyard.

In the room, Xiao Chengyu sat on the couch, with Yuzhu, who had just returned, standing beside him. "Is everything cleaned up?"

"Yes, Prime Minister, the person has been taken away by them, and I have already put the poison into Tangcuo's body. Please rest assured, Prime Minister." Yuzhu nodded slightly.
