Greedy Baby and Scheming Mother

Chapter 385 - Alignment of Objectives (2)

The medicine slave laughed, "A distant relative, come and stay with me for two days."

It was now night, so Lei Huo's red hair was not particularly eye-catching, but they were all wearing ordinary grey robes, not very eye-catching.

The medicine slave let Mu Yanran and Lei Huo enter the room first. Not long later, he boiled a pot of charcoal and brewed a pot of tea.

Smelling the fragrance, everyone in the courtyard came over and surrounded the bonfire to start the latest gossip.

Listening to the endless chatter outside, Mu Yanran suddenly understood why the medicine slaves chose to stay at their residences. It turned out that the fastest news they had received was not from the dark guard, but from these ordinary citizens, who had endless connections and passion.

"Come, today, I will go to the neighboring village to talk about the book and ask for a reward. I specifically bought a pot of good wine, so everyone doesn't need to be polite. Drink it!" The medicine slaves passionately invited everyone to drink.

"Uncle Yao, this book of yours is really amazing. No wonder so many storytellers belong to your business."

"Of course not!" We need to get the latest news, right? What news does Capital have today? " The medicine slave smiled, he was no different from an ordinary old man, he said as he poured wine for everyone, took a sip first, and then started to enjoy himself.

"There's nothing special today."

"Hehe, that's because you don't know, something big happened to Capital today!" "The That person laughed as she took the cup and took a gulp. You still remember that there was a distant cousin of mine who was a servant at the palace. When he left the palace today, he really told me about this matter.

Jin Yulie did not go to the morning assembly? Something big had really happened. After Jin Yulie ascended the throne, he did his job diligently every day. All of a sudden, they were unable to move up any further …

"Oh!" What happened? Since the Emperor is sick, it's impossible for him to be like that. He's the State Duke of Jin back then, and his body is made of bronze skin and bones. " The medicine slaves lured them to speak.

"Of course not!" When the news spread that the emperor had not left the imperial court earlier on, there was an urgent order to seal the nine gates! These are not the nine inner sects of Imperial Palace, but the nine outer sects of Capital City! "

Without special circumstances, the outer nine sects could not be completely sealed off!

Hearing that, even Mu Yanran and Lei Huo who were in the room were holding their breaths and listening.

"I heard that Imperial Palace lost his treasure! Right now, there are a lot of soldiers searching outside. "

As everyone was talking, the sound of banging on the door could be heard!

Everyone was shocked! They looked at each other, not knowing what was happening!

"Open the door!" The sound of the door being knocked on outside became louder!

Someone went to open the door, only to discover that it was a soldier. The commoners were most afraid of the soldiers, so when they saw the soldiers rush in aggressively, they shouted at them: "Is everyone in the house here?" While they were talking, someone was holding onto a book. It seemed like it was the situation of everyone who lived here. Another person was holding onto a painting. The painting seemed to have a portrait of someone, but it was too far away for the medicine slave to see clearly.

It was as if these soldiers were really looking for someone. Once they entered, they immediately chased everyone to the side. Some people were carefully inspecting them.

"The room is lit! "Who is it?" someone berated.

The Medicine Slave quickly fawned and said, "They are distant relatives of this old man, I just arrived today."

"Relatives, whatever relatives, call them out for me!"

"This …" The Medicine Slave was a little worried. He was calculating in his heart, were these people trying to capture Mu Yanran? This didn't make sense. She had only appeared today, so it was impossible for Jin Yulie to get the news so quickly. At the same time, he was also calculating how he could use the fastest speed to turn these people around and not expose any flaws.

However, in the blink of an eye, he decided to take a gamble!

Bringing the soldiers into the room, Mu Yanran and Lei Huo heard the commotion outside very early on. At first they were also worried, but then Mu Yanran had the same thought as the medicine slaves. At the same time, she thought of a possibility, that these people should be following orders to look for people, not targeting her.

The door was kicked open, and a person in official uniform walked in. Upon seeing Lei Huo, he did not even bother to look at him, but instead locked his gaze onto Mu Yanran who was beside the bed.

"You, take off your headscarf!"

"Your humble servant is ugly, but I'm afraid I might scare the officials!"

"What are you saying!" That person shouted and used one hand to pull. Mu Yanran controlled herself and pretended to be an ordinary Female without any skills.

Lei Huo secretly clenched his fists.

Just then, the soldiers took off Mu Yanran's scarf forcefully.

"AHH!" When the soldier saw Mu Yanran's face, he shouted in fright and retreated three steps back, "So ugly!"

Lei Huo clenched his teeth tightly! Mu Yanran quickly used her sleeves to cover her face.

The officer quickly dragged his men out without saying a word. As he walked, he sighed loudly with misfortune, "I've never seen such an ugly woman in my life before."

With the departure of the soldiers, the small courtyard returned to its previous quiet. No one was interested in gossiping anymore.

When the medicine slaves came in, they saw that Mu Yanran was the only one there, "Take a rest, I'll go prepare some things."

Mu Yanran nodded.

Under the moonlight, a black figure was shuttling back and forth in the alley at an extremely fast speed, a red light flashed in his hand, reaping the lives of a few people. Soon after, those people were carried away by the black shadow. They were tied up with a few huge rocks and thrown into the moat.

When Lei Huo returned to his room, he found Mu Yanran sitting under the candlelight with a bronze mirror in front of her, carefully examining it.

Suddenly, a bad feeling arose in Lei Huo's heart. He walked over and grabbed her copper mirror, "Don't mind it." Ever since he came back from Yu, he had not been able to ease the emotions on his face.

When he heard Mu Yanran say that she was pregnant with Chunyu Hao's child, his heart throbbed painfully. That was his child, so his hatred towards Jin Yulie was no less than anyone else's.

Afterwards, those soldiers actually dared to say that Mu Yanran was ugly in front of everyone, which caused him to bleed in her heart when other people looked at her with strange gazes. Therefore, even though he only stole their paintings, he chose to kill them!

He placed the painting on the table. "Look at this!"

Mu Yanran unrolled the painting and saw that it depicted the appearance of a Female, but that Female looked somewhat similar to Mu Yanran. They were originally half-sisters, so it was normal for them to have some similarities.

"Mu Wanjun? The person Jin Yulie is looking for is her? "

Lei Huo nodded his head, "I asked the soldiers, they said that it was a secret message sent from the Imperial Palace, even if I had to flip the entire Capital over, I have to find her."

"She left by herself?"

"I'm not sure, but it seems to be true."

"Ha ha!" Mu Yanran started laughing uncontrollably, the strange sounds sounding somewhat terrifying at night. "If she wants to leave, Jin Yulie probably won't be able to stop her. They want to split up and give us a chance to beat them up. They better be cherished! "
