Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Chapter 292 Fox Mask

Once, Ji Qichen even came back with a bruised face and nose. He didn't want others to see his face, so he wrapped a piece of cloth around his face.

Mu Tangxi was stunned when she saw it for the first time. Ji Qichen was wrapped up so tightly that his entire head could not be seen. Only his eyes were visible through the gaps.

Very strange.

Mu Tangxi took the first look and then the second look.

Very strange, watch it again.

Ji Qichen laughed dryly twice, "I accidentally fell today."

Can you hit your face if you fall?

I’m afraid Ji Qichen hit his head!

Mu Tangxi directly skipped the issue of falling and started asking Ji Qichen what he had done today.

"Ah, I was sparring with Kwang Soo today, and then I fell down, and I got up and continued sparring."

Ji Qichen did not forget to include the fall he had just experienced.

Increase authenticity.

Mu Tangxi suggested gently: "Why don't you take off the cloth and I'll help you apply the medicine."

Even if Ji Qichen didn't tell the truth, the scars on his face would help him tell the truth.

Ji Qichen hesitated, Tangxi wanted to apply medicine to him!

But he was hit several times in the face by Seo Kwang-soo's fist, and it was obvious that it wasn't from falling!

In the end, Ji Qichen couldn't resist this request.

Mu Tangxi did not show any other emotions towards the bruises on Ji Qichen's face. She always smiled gently while applying medicine to Ji Qichen.

She slowly observed the shape and size of the scar on Ji Qichen's face, imagining in her mind how Xu Guangzhu hit Ji Qichen in the face.

After applying the medicine, Mu Tangxi comforted him: "I believe you can fight back one day."

When Ji Qichen heard this, his eyes lit up. Is that true?

He suddenly became very excited and began to review Xu Guangzhu's moves today.

Mu Tangxi looked at his focused expression, turned around and slowly left.

Dong Zhu had followed Mu Tangxi without her noticing, and as she walked, she said, "Miss, everyone in the mansion knows that General Qi killed someone, but only those maids dared to speak out openly."

Mu Tangxi's expression remained unchanged: "Oh? Why?"

Dong Zhu shook his head: "General Qi has ordered that this matter not be spread outside."

"Not allowed to spread outside? But can the maids spread it in the mansion?"

"really interesting."

Mu Tangxi's curiosity was aroused again. What kind of person is General Qi?

"Keep checking."

"Yes."

Dongzhu has only been investigating for a few days, so it is normal that he has not found the key.

After all, they are very unfamiliar with this place.

Mu Tangxi suddenly stopped and turned to look at Dongzhu, "Dongzhu, do you think I would look like a man if I dressed as a man?"

This question confused Dong Zhu.

Miss, are you going to dress up as a man?

Dong Zhu raised his eyes and observed carefully. To be honest, it was a bit difficult.

But if he wears a mask to cover it up, it should be possible to explain it as an immature boy.

There are significant differences in body shape between men and women, and they are only similar during childhood and adolescence.

So just cover the lady's face, change into men's clothes, and keep quiet.

"I understand Miss! I'll go get the clothes and mask ready!"

Mu Tangxi thought about going outside to walk around the area and see for herself whether the situation in the border town was urgent.

Dong Zhu acted quickly. Before long, he had obtained a set of men's clothes and a mask with a fox face from somewhere.

When Mu Tangxi appeared in front of Dong Zhu again, Dong Zhu looked at her curiously, as if she had become a different person.

But she had never seen a lady wearing men's clothes!

He was wearing a dark-colored, wide-sleeved robe embroidered with silver patterns, a plain silver hair crown taken from the third prince on his head, and a fox mask on his face.

In addition, the young lady changed the way she walked, and Dong Zhu could tell that she was imitating the Third Prince.

It can be said that as long as you don’t speak and don’t take off your mask, no one will suspect you.

Mu Tangxi asked Dongzhu to remember to find Shen Qiu in the next few days. With Shen Qiu's ability, he should have completed the investigation almost completely.

But he hasn’t come back until today, which shows that... Shen Qiu went out to play again!

She still needs information from Shen Qiu, and when Shen Qiu has no more information, she will throw it to the military camp.

"Come on, Dongzhu, let's go out for a walk."

Dongzhu didn't need to disguise himself, but he simply changed into clothes that matched the color of the young lady's clothes.

As soon as you leave General Qi's mansion, you can see a few people setting up stalls and selling things on both sides.

These people are fewer than those in the capital, and the things they sell are different.

Mu Tangxi gradually walked towards a remote place, and the further he walked, the fewer people there were.

until……

"What do you think is our chance of winning this war with Liao?"

"We will definitely win!"

"But...we've been defeated several times."

"This is all General Lu's fault!"

"Many people from the border towns left, and they no longer believed that this war could be won."

After hearing this, Mu Tangxi stopped and looked over, where he saw a group of idle soldiers.

What kind of change had happened to General Lu that he was disliked by the soldiers under his command?

Suddenly a voice interrupted the soldiers' words.

"What are you talking about here? If I hear you again, I will punish you by military law!"

The amber eyes looked in surprise at General Qi who slowly walked out from the shadows.

I don't know how long he listened.

After General Qi finished scolding the soldiers and watched them leave in a hurry, he turned around and looked at Mu Tangxi with a pair of sharp eyes.

"come out!"

Mu Tangxi paused, held Dong Zhu's hand, and left her here alone.

Then Mu Tangxi walked out without hesitation.

When General Qi saw that it was a slim young man wearing a fox mask, he relaxed his facial muscles and forced a "gentle" smile.

He asked, "Why did you come so far? Go back!"

Mu Tangxi looked at General Qi's murderous smile and remained silent for a moment.

She seemed to understand why the servants in the mansion said that General Qi had killed someone.

If someone fell in front of General Qi, people around him would probably think that General Qi tripped on purpose!

No wonder General Qi was sent by the emperor to monitor Ji Qichen and her.

Such a person who is easily misunderstood is easy to control.

Moreover, General Qi had worked hard to get his position step by step, climbing up from the bottom.

He did not get involved with other forces.

A very useful chess piece.

Mu Tangxi thought about it for a while and began to understand the emperor's thoughts.

As long as we throw dirty water on General Qi, we can isolate him and make him a lone minister.

I wonder if there are the emperor's spies in General Qi's mansion, or if those maids who caused trouble were arranged by the emperor?

Mu Tangxi was thinking all this in her mind, but she didn't show it on her face. In response to General Qi's words, she just nodded obediently and bowed to General Qi.

Then ran away.
