Chapter 368 The Sky Collapses
Mu Wenxuan was awakened by a noise in the courtyard. He sat up, his mind still hazy.
Last night, he spent the whole night at home with the maid, and finally fell asleep. He was awakened by the noise, so his mood was naturally not very good.
Turning his head and seeing the beautiful maid sitting up beside him, he asked unhappily: "What happened outside?"
"I don't know." The maid turned her head and looked around for a moment. Hearing the noise, she quickly got dressed and got out of bed, "Master, go to sleep for a while, I'll go and see."
Mu Wenxuan frowned and was about to lie down again, but he heard a knock on the door outside.
"Master, Master!" The servant was panicked, "Something bad has happened. The Prime Minister's Mansion has been raided!"
What?
Mu Wenxuan sat up from the bed, frightened.
The Prime Minister's Mansion was raided?
This...what's going on?
All the sleepiness disappeared immediately. Mu Wenxuan casually grabbed the clothes hanging on the rack and put them on. He hurriedly put on his shoes and went out.
He opened the door and the mess outside became clearer and clearer.
Mu Wenxuan didn't have time to ask more questions and ran to the front yard.
On the way, he met Gu Anxian who came out of the west yard. She looked embarrassed and her face was pale and haggard: "What's going on? What happened? Wenxuan, something happened to the Gu family? This can't be true, right?"
Since being beaten by the crazy Mu Wenxuan last time, Gu Anxian was seriously injured. In addition to external injuries, she also had severe lacerations. She lay in bed for five days before she could barely get out of bed and walk. ŴŴŴ.
Therefore, Mu Wenxuan never stepped into her room again after that night. The emperor ordered him not to hang out in brothels, so he stayed at home and hung out with the maids.
I have taken in several of them recently, and each of them is very obedient, much better than Gu Anxian.
Mu Wenxuan's eyes fell on his arm.
Gu Anxian, who used to dislike him as much as she disliked Chou Chou, now clung to his hand tightly, as if she was grabbing a floating log for help.
Mu Wenxuan looked up at Gu Anxian's face.
After not seeing her for a few days, Gu Anxian's complexion did not improve at all, she was still so pale and haggard, and she was completely different from her high-spirited self at the beginning.
Seeing Mu Wenxuan at this time, she seemed to have forgotten her hatred and grabbed his hand: "Wenxuan, what happened to the Xiangfu? What happened? Tell me, what happened?"
Mu Wenxuan stared at her pale face and suddenly calmed down.
"It turns out that the proud eldest daughter of the Gu family can also be so embarrassed." Mu Wenxuan smiled coldly and stretched out his hand to grab her chin, "Do you feel like the sky is falling?"
Gu Anxian's face was pale: "Wenxuan..."
Mu Wenxuan's eyes turned cold, and he raised his hand and slapped her: "Pa!"
Gu Anxian's face was hit to one side, and a red mark soon appeared on her face.
The maids on both sides were startled, and they stood with their eyebrows lowered and dared not say a word.
Mu Wenxuan snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the front yard. Gu Anxian bit her lip and followed with her head down.
However, before the two of them reached the front yard, there was a commotion all around.
"Something happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
"How could it happen?"
"I heard that Prime Minister Gu sent people to arrest Prince Nanyang. The emperor was furious and sent the Imperial Guards to search the city for Prince Nanyang's whereabouts. Unexpectedly, Prince Nanyang was hidden in the secret room of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"What's more, the secret passage in the secret room was opened by Prince Nanyang. The Prime Minister's Mansion actually has a place dedicated to preventing gold and silver mountains. There are a lot of gold and silver, shining with gold... The evidence is irrefutable, and the emperor immediately put the Prime Minister's family in jail."
Gu Anxian's feet softened and she fell to the ground.
"Madam." The maids on both sides quickly squatted to help her, with a complicated look in their eyes, "Madam, are you okay?"
Gu Anxian lay on the ground in a daze, unable to believe what she heard.
He personally captured the Prince of Nanyang and hid him in a secret room, exposing the mountains of gold and silver to the emperor...
Is this God's will to destroy the Gu family?
Gu Anxian was shrouded in overwhelming despair and fear, her mind was dizzy, and only one sentence kept echoing.
The Gu family is finished, the Gu family is finished...
"What, you can't stand this?" Mu Wenxuan didn't see her catch up, turned around and saw Gu Anxian fell to the ground, turned around, walked to her and squatted, "Gu Anxian, you used to be great, didn't you?"
He pointed his finger at her forehead, with such force that he wanted to poke a hole in her head, "Aren't you high and mighty? Don't you look down on me? How about it, how is it to fall from the clouds to hell right now? Very exciting, isn't it?"
"Stop! Stop!" Gu Anxian's eyes were red, and she roared at Mu Wenxuan out of control, "The Gu family will not be in trouble! My relative is the prime minister, the first rank of the dynasty, and he is in a high position and has great power-"
Snap!
Mu Wenxuan slapped her again: "Bitch! Do you know your current status? You are the descendant of a criminal!"
Gu Anxian was stunned, and the blood on her face faded.
"Do you know what kind of treatment the descendants of criminals will always receive?" Mu Wenxuan raised a malicious smile at the corner of his mouth and pinched her face hard, "If my dear is unwilling to protect you, you will be exiled to the brothel, and you will be reduced from a noble to a lowly person, and you will never be able to turn over, do you understand?"
Gu Anxian's eyes went dark, and she could hardly believe what she heard.
Mu Wenxuan sneered: "Why don't you guess, will my dear protect you in front of the emperor?"
"Wenxuan!" Gu Anxian turned over and knelt in front of him, "Please save my dear, save the Gu family, please-"
"Save the Gu family? You think too highly of me." Mu Wenxuan shook off her hand and laughed sarcastically, "You are a waste, do you think you have any ability? Save the Gu family, save your mother, you are dreaming!"
After saying this, he stood up and ordered: "Send Madam to the house, and go to the front to take a look."
The maid responded: "Yes."
Mu Wenxuan turned and walked towards the front yard.
"Wenxuan!" Gu Anxian suddenly stood up and staggered after him, "I want to see Nanyang Gong, you take me with you, please! Only Nanyang Gong can save me, Wenxuan, I beg you--"
"You want to kill Prince Yu's Mansion?" Mu Wenxuan threw her away fiercely, watching Gu Anxian fall to the ground, without any pity, "Stay in the inner courtyard and don't come out, otherwise I will make you suffer!"
After that, he coldly ordered: "Take Madam 꿁 back!"
"Yes."
