Mu Zhihuan was stupefied from listening. Even the Emperor did not notice such a vulgar framing? "And then my father was arrested?"

Gu Mingxuan nodded. After saying so much in one breath, his face was somewhat pale.

He covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly a few times. Seeing that, Mu Zhihuan immediately poured Gu Mingxuan a cup of hot water: "With such a huge matter, why was I not killed?"

Gu Mingxuan looked at her without speaking, but Mu Zhihuan understood.

Because she was already pregnant at that time, the Emperor spared her and the Tuanzi's lives.

"I understand what you mean, but I'm not involved in this matter. I've been alive for so many years, and with just today's situation, someone will come looking for trouble with me?" "It shouldn't be possible …"

It's not that Mu Zhihuan is optimistic, it's that she hasn't been assassinated or anything like that since she was born in the Duke Palaces.

Didn't I just reveal myself in front of the emperor? They were forced to do so, yet these people came to cause trouble for her. How could they not be able to stand up for her?

Seeing that Mu Zhihuan did not understand the danger involved, Gu Mingxuan's tone was filled with sincerity.

So many years have passed, the person who framed General Mu must have climbed up to a very high position in the imperial court. The reason I didn't deal with you in the past is because you were a lonely and nameless person, a cripple that Jiang Zisu loathed. Even your son Jiang Qingran was an undesirable existence.

glanced at Mu Zhihuan's hand. In the imperial court this morning, Jiang Zisu anxiously pulled her hand and images flashed past his eyes. He then continued:

"But you are different now, Jiang Zisu is actually openly protecting you in the hall, and you have also revealed a shocking amount of talent, what if you are to use Jiang Zisu to investigate this matter …"

"With his identity as the Prince, if we were to really investigate, I'm afraid that there will be many people who would not even be able to preserve their lives, let alone Wu Sha."

So it turns out that he was still wary of Jiang Zisu.

Sighing, Mu Zhihuan knew why Jiang Zisu would say those words in the study: "Then according to what you have said, I am not in danger?"

Gu Mingxuan nodded his head, "That is indeed the case, so you must ensure your safety. If you discover anything amiss, you must immediately contact me."

"Mn, I understand. After all, I still need to save my life to accompany my family's Ran'er. Now, only by finding the person who framed our family will I be able to live a peaceful life …"

Even though it sounded simple, and it had been so long, and he had no memory of it at all.

If this matter was investigated, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven. She clearly only wanted to sell her cosmetics properly, how did she create so much trouble?

Seeing that Mu Zhihuan's expression was not good, Gu Mingxuan reached out his bony hand and patted Mu Zhihuan's shoulder.

But before his hand could make contact with Mu Zhihuan, Mu Zhihuan had subconsciously dodged it.

Looking at Gu Mingxuan's hand that was hovering in the air, Mu Zhihuan felt as if the air had frozen.

She touched her nose dry, and after a long while, she opened her mouth awkwardly, "Ah …" I know what you want to comfort me with, and I'm very grateful to you for worrying about me. However, this is my personal matter, so I will properly take care of it. "

With a single sentence, he immediately excluded Gu Mingxuan.

Gu Mingxuan withdrew his finger, his clear and cold eyes flickered with a cold light: "You don't even have the memories of that time, who can you ask for help with? Jiang Zisu? "

Not knowing why, Mu Zhihuan felt that Gu Mingxuan's words were filled with hostility.

"En..." "He's my husband in name, it shouldn't be a problem to find him …"

Just as Mu Zhihuan finished speaking, she felt the temperature of the entire room instantly drop by a few degrees.

When he looked at Gu Mingxuan, the cold and unhappy expression on his face could already be clearly seen.

Unconsciously shrinking his neck back, Mu Zhihuan's leg had coincidentally kicked Shen Zhiqiu: "Erm … Can you wake Shen Zhiqiu up after you're done? "It's getting late, I also want to sleep …"

After saying that, just as Mu Zhihuan was about to extend her hand to push Shen Zhiqiu away, she was grabbed by a bone-chilling, ice-cold hand.

Immediately after, an enormous force pulled her up, and Mu Zhihuan sank into a embrace that carried a faint scent of medicinal herbs.

When the familiar smell entered Mu Zhihuan's nose, she was instantly enveloped tightly. It was only after a long while did she realize that she was being hugged by Gu Mingxuan.

He tried to push Gu Mingxuan, but he did not push him away.

Mu Zhihuan was also a little helpless. She sighed deeply, "Gu Mingxuan, let me go first."

Gu Mingxuan's dull voice came from his shoulder: "Listen to me like this first."

"I don't want to hear it …" In fact, even without thinking, Mu Zhihuan could probably guess what he wanted to say, but she did not want to hear it anymore.

She was afraid that her determination would waver once again.

On Gu Mingxuan's side, it was as if she was forever being led astray.

"Then I won't let you go."

This person... You actually dared to be shameless?

Mu Zhihuan knew that even someone like Shen Zhiqiu would not be a match for Gu Mingxuan. The defensive skills she had learned herself would never be able to beat him.

"Let me go first, I'm willing to listen to you …"

This caused Mu Zhihuan to recall the incident at the house last time.

Pursing her lips, Mu Zhihuan focused her attention on Gu Mingxuan's side.

However, the other party didn't seem to care at all. "If I let go, you'll escape."

If it wasn't for Gu Mingxuan who had a head taller than her and couldn't see her face, Mu Zhihuan really wanted to roll his eyes at him.

He was afraid that his movements would be too big, so he woke up Tuanzi. If Tuanzi saw him hugging Gu Mingxuan, then there would really be no way to explain it.

Therefore, Mu Zhihuan compromised without any backbone.

"Alright, hurry up and say what you want to say."

Hearing the helplessness in Mu Zhihuan's tone, Gu Mingxuan did not seem to relax his hold on her in the slightest:

"Actually, I already heard that someone was asking about me yesterday, I didn't think too much about it, and thought that it was because of me, so I didn't care, and only reacted after receiving the news that you had been declared into the palace. That person was asking for you, so I immediately went to the palace to find Pingle, and had her testify for us."

With something going on, Mu Zhihuan silently sighed: "Speaking of which … I really should thank you. If it wasn't for you, I might not have been able to so easily take care of this matter today. "

"I don't want your thanks!"

Gu Mingxuan's tone suddenly became hurried, this was the first time Mu Zhihuan had heard him use this tone in such a long time.

Pursing her lips, Mu Zhihuan asked: "Then what exactly do you want to say?"
