Chapter 140 To Be Together Openly

Mu Tinng's face darkened as he punched the wooden pillar. He took a deep look at Shangguan Pei and saw his calm expression. He said, "You and I have known each other since childhood. Now in the court, I dare not believe in another person other than you. Ze Zhi, you will not disappoint me, will you?"

Shangguan Pei quickly cupped his hands and said, "Both public and private, the ministers are the most determined supporters of the emperor. This heart can be learned from heaven and earth."

Mu Tinng nodded and said, "You have been tired all the way back home and have a night's rest. You will take over the Department of Justice tomorrow. I want you to thoroughly investigate Empress Dowager's assassination and the robbery of the empress. You must catch the murderer in the shortest time and rescue the empress."

"I don't need to rest. It's not too late to rescue the empress. I'll deploy immediately." Shangguan Pei was worried about Su Mianyue's condition and couldn't sleep well when he returned home.

Mu Tinng did not doubt him, patted Shangguan Pei on the shoulder and whispered, "It's been hard."

Shangguan Pei left with a fist in his hand, but a small voice in his heart told him that perhaps Su Mianyue's abduction was not necessarily a bad thing, at least for a short time, there was no need to face the palace's deceit.

No one knew Shangguan Pei's selfish intentions. Even if he did find Su Mianyue, he would not let Su Mianyue return to the palace so soon. If Mu Tinng could not give Su Mianyue a safe and sound environment, it would be better to let her be at ease outside the palace, and he just wanted to protect her from afar.

Under a narrow house in the slums, Su Mianyue and Biwu lay unconscious on a simple bed. Wanyan Lin was sitting in front of the bed and looking at the sleeping man, with an undisguised soft light in his eyes.

From today on, she was no longer someone else's wife, and he could be with her openly.

"Master, Miss Su's injuries are not suitable for moving. How should we place them?" Gray frowned. He didn't expect Su Mianyue to be so badly injured, or else he wouldn't have been unconscious after saving the man.

Fortunately, they didn't hurt his heart. Otherwise, they would have killed Su Mianyue indirectly. It was better not to save him.

Wanyan Lin's face darkened. Fortunately, the light in the dark tunnel was not bright. Otherwise, gray clothes would have seen Wanyan Lin's displeasure.

"I really want to know how mu ting will handle this, so that she can see Mu Tinng's reaction." Wanyan Lin smiled and said, "The secret room in Yicui House is not bad, so Miss Su will go there to recuperate with me."

"Master!" The grey coat exclaimed, clearly disapproving of Wanyan Lin's risk.

Wanyan Lin waved his hand and broke the grey coat's silence. Naturally, the reason why he did this was because he was worried about Su Mianyue's injury. The doctor said that if he broke his ribs again, even if it didn't hurt his internal organs, Su Mianyue would not have a chance to recover. He would be tortured by the broken bones for the rest of his life.

Wanyan Lin could not bear to think that she would be tortured in the future, and that her breathing would be comparable to punishment.

"Get someone to prepare some smoke grenades and take Mu Tinng's men around for a few rounds. It's best to make him suspect Wanyan Zhen." Wanyan Lin curled his lips and sneered.

Wanyan Zhen, who had just ascended to the throne, had an empty harem, but when he came to the Tianlan to investigate the situation of the enemy and Wanyan Lin's whereabouts, he forcibly took away Xuezhu, who had just been redeemed, and now he could take advantage of this good opportunity.

"Yes." The grey collar ordered that he would not admonish his master as long as he was not completely bewitched by women.

"Wanyan Zhen and his people should have just walked out of the two cities, right?" Wanyan Lin said slowly.

"Yes," replied gray.

"Continue to send people to stop Mu Tinng and lead him to the Hengyuan within three days." Wanyan Lin's voice was cold, but there was a smile in his eyes, but the smile was too cold and charming.

Gray hesitated and asked, "Will this cause trouble for the Hengyuan?"

"Your heart is getting softer and softer when you finish your work," Wanyan Lin shook his head.

Shangguan Pei stayed up all night, mobilized all his guards, and borrowed some guards from mu ting to guard Capital City, but no clues were found, as if the people who killed the Department of Justice last night had appeared out of thin air and disappeared.

Shangguan Pei did not want to avenge the people of the department of justice, nor was he in a hurry to get back to mu ting. He was just worried about whether Su Mianyue's injuries could be taken good care of.

"Seal off the city gates. All the people who pass by will be strictly investigated. They must still be in Shangjing City." After Shangguan Pei gave the order, he went into the palace to ask mu ting for an order.

Mu Tinng ordered, "Dig three feet and find the empress."

Shangguan Pei's eyes flashed, as if he did not expect mu ting to care so much about Su Mianyue. After hesitating, he asked, "Are you going to patrol the su residence?"

Because su mianyue's identity should not be exposed, Shangguan Pei did not state her identity during the investigation, and the Department of Justice was not allowed to enter after Shangguan Pei took over, so little was known about Su Mianyue's disappearance.

Mu Tinng thought for a moment and said, "It's all the same."

The three masters of the su family were in a special situation. If they knew that Su Mianyue was missing, they were afraid that the su family would arrange a white matter, which was definitely not what Su Mianyue would like to see.

Shangguan Pei took his orders and left. Although his body was tired and his eyes were bloodshot, he was still handsome and tall.

Looking at Shangguan Pei's back, Mu Tinng clenched his fists. Now that he was in a high position, the young man's best friend helped him and his engagement with Su Mianyue was an indispensable factor. But now that Su Mianyue's life and death were unknown and Shangguan Pei was repeatedly assassinated, how could Mu Tinng not doubt that the people behind him had ulterior motives?

But who in the world could he trust, who could he ask to find out the truth?

"Weiyang Palace." Mu Tinng suddenly opened his mouth and stunned Dehai, who was serving at the side. He temporarily took over the position of manager Zhao Quan and did not understand Mu Tinng's mind thoroughly enough. This time, he could not guess Mu Tinng's mind, so he could only arrange to wait for Mu Tinng to start driving.

In Weiyang Palace, when Gu Linng heard Mu Tinng's arrival, he was first overjoyed. As expected, after getting rid of Su Mianyue, Mu Tinng's mind was still on her. The position of queen was within reach.

But when she reached out to tidy up her hair, Gu Linng was worried about her eyebrows. Now she was so ugly that she didn't even want to look at herself. How could she meet Mu Tinng?

"Mother, it's time to pick up the car," Bizhu warned in a low voice.

"Do I need you to remind me?" Gu Linng shot her cold eyes. Seeing bizhu shut up and take two steps back, she said, "Go and get me your hair set."

Bizhu ran away quickly, but Gu Linng sighed in a low voice. The wig was not real after all. If Mu Tinng stayed here, she would still find that her long hair was fake, and she would despise her.

But this hair couldn't reach her waist in three or five years. Did she have to push Mu Tinng away and let him pamper other women?

Gu Linng thought about it and cursed Su Mianyue countless times. She didn't even notice that bizhu had put on her wig. When Mu Tinng came in, he saw Gu Linng in a daze.

"Is something bothering Qingqing?" Mu Tinng strode in and sat beside Gu Linng, as if nothing unpleasant had happened before. He had always favored Gu Linng alone.

"Your majesty." Gu Linng was shocked at first, then burst into tears of joy and said, "I thought it was an illusion, but I don't want you to really come to see me. It was because I lost my honor. Please forgive me."

Gu Linng stood up and bowed.

"Your majesty, please calm down. Your mother just misses you too much, not disrespectfully." Bizhu quickly knelt beside Gu Linng and began to defend her.

With a slight smile, Gu Linng looked up shyly. Her eyes were still red. She said softly, "Your majesty, in the past, your concubines were ignorant and disappointed your majesty. Now your concubines have repented and want to do their best in front of Empress Dowager. I don't know your majesty..."
