Your Majesty, I am not worthy

Chapter 58

Wen Li's matter came urgently, and it was difficult to solve. If outsiders didn't handle it properly, one of Wen Li and Chu Xiaomi would be hurt.

But it was all related to Chu Yuheng.

Chu Yumi sent someone to break Wen Li's leg, and Chu Yuheng only needed to go back and take care of it; what will happen after Wen Li's broken leg? Chu Yuheng also needs to go back and watch.

As a person who is idle outside, he doesn't need to rush forward to worry so much about Chu Yuheng.

As for Chu Yuheng who kept asking him whether he would go back to Haojing? His meaning was already obvious——

No return.

After returning to his mansion, Rong Mu was relieved.

It's getting late now, with the bright moon hanging high, quietly looking around, Rong Mu sat on the couch after combing, and slowly unbuttoned his waist with his hands, just when he heard a gentle knock on the door sounded.

Rong Mu regained his composure, and fastened the unbuttoned buttons back again. He waited until he was sure that his clothes were intact before he paced to the door.

It turned out to be He Chao.

He Chao reckoned that he was about to fall asleep, and now he was wearing a plain inner garment, with a simple outer robe on, and knocked on the door.

Rong Mu's slightly impetuous heart calmed down a bit.

He thought it was Chu Yuheng's unwillingness to give up, so he came out of the inn to pester him.

"Ah Mu, it's good if you haven't slept." He Chao lifted his outer robe.

Letting people in, Rong Mu half-closed the door like this: "What can you do, He Chao?"

He Chao scratched his head and smiled, "I'm just worried about you."

When Rong Mu heard the words, his heart felt warm.

Relighting the candle that had been blown out, Rong Mu pointed to the chair and let He Chao sit down: "What else can I do, you don't need to worry about me."

He Chao shook his head, his eyes serious: "You went out to eat with that person today, did that person treat you badly?"

"You haven't seen him yet, how do you know he treats me badly?"

He Chao paused: "You're not in good health. You usually don't go out for a whole day and don't come back, but today you come back so late to accompany that person? He either doesn't care about you, or doesn't understand you, and If it was Shen Shumo, he would never let Ah Mu come back so late."

Hearing He Chao comparing Chu Yuheng and Shen Shumo, Rong Mu suddenly smiled, the shadow of the candle was swaying, and the color of the fire was reflected in his glazed eyes, which was very beautiful.

But that smile dissipated very quickly, He Chao just blinked his eyes, and Rong Mu returned to his usual thin lips: "He is a distinguished guest from afar, so I can't do without him."

"How precious can it be? Shen Shumo is the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, and he won't be able to see Ah Mu as your company all day long. That person is not today. When he comes to the south of the Yangtze River, he will be surrounded by thousands of people..."

He Chao pouted, he only regarded that person as Rong Mu's old acquaintance.

But they were also acquaintances, Rong Mu obviously wanted to go to the teahouse with him for snacks today, and he finally got a free day, Rong Mu put him in the house and told him not to go anywhere.

He deserved to ask his wife in the house, she said that today after Shen Shumo left, a distinguished guest came to the house, Rong Mu seemed to take it seriously, and even wanted to leave Rong Mu's own room to that adult .

This made He Chao's heart itch.

He had never seen Rong Mu take the initiative to be eager to his friends.

As for Shen Shumo...

From He Chao's point of view, Shen Shumo was crazy about Rong Mu, and Rong Mu regarded Shen Shumo as a friend, but Shen Shumo was probably a little cautious.

It is a good thing for someone to be kind to Rong Mu, but it is especially rare for Rong Mu to be kind to others.

Although Rong Mu has a gentle temper and always smiles, but there is alienation hidden in the smile, and the smile doesn't reach his eyes.

Now that He Chao saw the corners of Rong Mu's lips slightly raised, he knew that the person in front of him would not tell the truth to him.

Indeed, under the current situation, Rong Mu will not disclose Chu Yuheng's identity to outsiders.

Rong Mu picked out the candle wick, and the fireworks shot up immediately, burning more vigorously: "It doesn't matter whether it's valuable or not, everyone who comes is a guest, so I'll welcome you with a smile; besides, you went to accompany him because of me, Are you not happy? You can hang an oil can on your mouth."

"Am I unhappy?" He Chao snorted, his brows were furrowed even tighter, as if there were two pimples, but the next moment he deliberately loosened his brows, pretending not to care, "Why am I not happy... "

Very good at coaxing people.

Rong Mu just glanced at He Chao, and he knew how He Chao was feeling.

"It's my fault for breaking your appointment today."

"I didn't think much about going to that teahouse either..." But seeing Rong Mu's half-smile, He Chao confessed, "Actually, I've been looking forward to it for almost half a month. I haven't been out for a long time, I don't know how to go out, but I simply went back home after reading the account book..."

"Feel sorry."

Rong Mu's apology this time was more sincere.

He knew the sadness of looking forward to being let down, but he never imagined that one day, he would also live up to the expectations of others.

"Oh, it's actually not a big deal. If we can't go today, we will have a chance another day. After all, we won't be able to eat dim sum at the teahouse in this lifetime... That would be too miserable."

This was He Chao's joke, but Rong Mu really heard it in his heart.

But what will happen to him in the future, I can only say that the world is unpredictable.

So Rong Mu did not accept He Chao's invitation this time.

Sending people to the door, Rong Mu waited for He Chao's figure to disappear in the arch not far away, then closed the door and sighed sadly.

It's good that Chu Yuheng didn't find Lingqi County from Haojing.

That way he still has a long future to talk about.

But when he put down the fire, he thought that he might be found by Chu Yuheng in the future.

If he can escape without a trace, then he will be allowed to go far away, but if Chu Yuheng finds traces again, then he is digging his own grave for what he did in the past.

After all, the matter of his fake death now clearly falls into Chu Yuheng's eyes. On the bright side, he committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, but secretly, he put the monarch and his ministers on the bright side.

Although the current situation stunned him, it was much better than he expected.

After all, Chu Yuheng didn't hold his neck with a knife and threatened to take his life.

After Rong Mu blew out a candle, he lay back on the couch again, closed his eyes and fell asleep, but his hand under the quilt unconsciously touched a handful of cold hard objects placed under the pillow.

This is a dagger that cuts iron like mud.

When he left Beijing, he brought out together with the dagger a pair of silver bracelets from his childhood and a few small clothes returned to him by the Master of Qingquan Temple.

And this was also given to him by General Hua when he was in Northern Xinjiang.

At the beginning, the old general said that the dagger was short and powerful, it didn't take up much space, and it was the most suitable for him to use for self-defense.

At that time, he still sighed in his heart, how could anyone want to harm him.

At present, the silver bracelet and small clothes are stored in the dark box, and the dagger is placed under the pillow.

Rong Mu raised his eyelids and pulled out the dagger, but the blade was one finger wide in the palm of his hand, and under the dim candlelight, there was less blood, but it gave Rong Mu a little strength.

If Chu Yuheng really wants to take him back by force, he has nothing to worry about, and he doesn't mind ending his life with this...

Rong Mu's thoughts suddenly stopped.

The door he had closed with his own hands just now was pushed open, the sound of "squeaky" wood was very loud in the quiet winter night, and the cold wind in the hallway blew out the only candle in the house Fire and darkness swaggered into every corner of the house.

But the transition between light and dark was too fast, before Rong Mu could take back the dagger in his hand, the next moment he was bumped into and hugged by a man with scattered footsteps.

Suddenly, the smell of alcohol and blood rushed into Rong Mu's nostrils.

Along with it, Rong Mufei's trembling knuckles could touch the warmth and humidity, mixed together.

The author has something to say: Catch up!
