I’ll Be the Male Lead’s Sister-in-Law

Xie Xuanchen looked up and looked at her with very strange eyes. After Mu Mingtang reacted, he waved his hand quickly: "Don't get me wrong, I haven't used it, I just learn to prepare for emergencies. Anyway, it's okay now, don't hold on too much hope, I will try it."

In fact, Xie Xuanchen didn't believe it very much. How could the shackles tailored by the court and monastery be opened so easily. However, Xie Xuanchen is not very good at dealing with women. He couldn't deal with his mother back then. Now that Mu Mingtang speaks, he is too embarrassed to refuse.

Xie Xuanchen stretched out his right hand and let Mu Mingtang toss. Mu Mingtang saw him stop in the air with one hand, so the heavy handcuffs were supported by the strength of his one arm. Mu Mingtang looked tired when he saw him, and said, "Master, why don't you put it on the bed? I'll sit on my feet. Just open it."

"It's okay." Xie Xuanchen didn't care. "You can do yours."

With a stubborn temper, Mu Mingtang stopped talking, nodded and said, "Okay."

Mu Mingtang played the game by himself, and Xie Xuanchen didn’t even bother to look at it, and said, “The imperial locks are so easy to open. I’m going to pay more attention to this one. It’s all made of black iron and the lock core inside is specially made. There are only two keys in the world. They can’t be copied, and they must be used together to open them. Ordinary thieves can just pick up private locks. How can the imperial locks be opened. They have never seen such a lock, don’t know..."

At this time, there was a faint click, and Mu Mingtang quickly held the handcuffs and said, "I'm driving."

Xie Xuanchen didn't even break his words. Although he wanted to break free of the shackles in his dreams, he was a son of a high-ranking official, and he had been in contact with him a lot since he was a child, and he created an inexplicable trust in the court. The folk thieves just open the locks of ordinary people. How can the locks used by the imperial court be opened?

Mu Mingtang had finished speaking, but Xie Xuanchen hadn't reacted yet. Mu Mingtang was struggling to hold the iron handcuffs alone, and Xie Xuanchen was so surprised that he didn't even react to fish for her.

Mu Mingtang slowly put the iron ring on the bed, Xie Xuanchen's hand lightened, he looked down at his wrist, still feeling unbelievable.

"you……"

Mu Mingtang smiled very modestly: "I'm actually not very good at it. I just tried it. I didn't expect it to happen."

In order to take care of Xie Xuanchen's sensitive heart, Mu Mingtang was very humble. In fact, the masters are among the people, especially the craftsmen, who are all in the market.

The old thief who taught her to open the lock is like that. Xiangyang City is broken, everyone has no capital to survive, and can only flee in a hurry. The old thief was originally unwilling to teach, but then halfway through, fearing that he would not be able to survive and the family handicraft would be cut off, he reluctantly taught Mu Mingtang.

In the words of the old thief: "Old thief, I don’t want you to carry forward, and you will never say that you are my heir. I am afraid that the craft will be lost, so I taught you this stranger. Stealing lacks virtue and craftsmanship is innocent, and you will use it in the future. No, it’s none of my business."

Unexpectedly, Mu Mingtang used it in this place, which was also Romance.

Xie Xuanchen stared at her for a long time without blinking. He suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Give me things."

"what?"

"Your tool for unlocking."

Mu Mingtang hurriedly put the fine gold wire in his hand, Xie Xuanchen took it in his hand and looked around. Seeing that he was looking carefully, Mu Mingtang leaned forward proudly and said, "It's made of pure gold. I specially twisted it from jewelry."

Is this a problem with gold? Xie Xuanchen glanced suspiciously at Mu Mingtang, re-cuffed the handcuffs that fell, and took the thin gold wire into the keyhole to interview.

"How did you drive?"

"It's very simple. Go inside and feel the position of the marbles, fiddle with the harder marbles, and the effective few marbles are flattened."

Xie Xuanchen fiddled for a long time, but there was no movement. He was almost confused and asked, "There are many beads in it, which one to dial?"

"The ones that are harder and more vigorous."

Energetic? What kind of description is this? Xie Xuanchen tried for a long time, but still felt that all the beads were the same. If Xie Xuanchen hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have suspected that Mu Mingtang was playing with him. Xie Xuanchen tried for a long time, and all declared failure. He handed the golden silk to Mu Mingtang and stared at her closely: "You come again."

"Oh." Mu Mingtang responded, saying that he was about to move the iron ring on the bed. Xie Xuanchen stopped her suddenly and stretched out his other hand: "Try this."

Mu Mingtang has no opinion. The two lock cylinders are really different, and the inner structure is very complicated. Mu Mingtang slowly flicked the marbles and calculated the positions of several marbles. In the end, he didn't know where he touched, but he made a slight click.

There is no need for Mu Mingtang to say this time, Xie Xuanchen also felt the lock opened. He broke the Xuan Tiehuan with his own hands, unable to speak for a while.

Xie Xuanchen didn't speak, and Mu Mingtang didn't dare to speak. After a while, she defended herself in a low voice: "It's really the first time I unlock someone. I haven't tried it before."

Mu Mingtang's intention was to explain, but Xie Xuanchen felt more complicated in his heart as he listened. He sighed and asked suddenly: "What business did your family do before?"

"Antiques. Vase, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, all make some."

"Then how can you open the lock?"

"This is what I learned with a thief on the road."

I learned it on the road, not from childhood. Xie Xuanchen sighed and completely gave up to be true to Mu Mingtang.

"Alright, you can drive the other two as you feel."

After Mu Mingtang opened the lock, he stood at the foot of the bed and looked at Xie Xuanchen, but suddenly he dared not speak. The two of them were silent for a long time, and finally Mu Mingtang whispered, "Master, the lock is unlocked, do you want to get up and walk?"

This pair of handcuffs was an unforgettable devil that he was so worried about when he was in a coma, but at this moment, Xie Xuanchen suddenly did not dare to move. Mu Mingtang stood by and watched quietly. After a while, she smiled and said, "I am too careless. The prince has been ill for a long time. I should recuperate slowly. How can I be anxious. I don't understand the medical theory. Yes, the prince should not take it to heart."

Mu Mingtang didn't finish speaking, when he saw Xie Xuanchen holding on to the bed, he was about to stand up. Mu Mingtang was shocked, and hurriedly went to help him, but was pushed away by Xie Xuanchen: "No need."

It didn't take long for Xie Xuanchen to wake up, and it took almost all his energy to stand up. But he insisted on not letting Mu Mingtang help. He sat on the edge of the bed for a long time and tried several times before leaving the bed.

He just stood firm, his body was shaky, Mu Mingtang hurried forward to support him. With her support, Xie Xuanchen only walked two steps forward, weakly unable to move. Mu Mingtang quickly helped him back and covered him with a quilt: "Master, it doesn't matter, take your time."

Xie Xuanchen had been in a coma for too long, even if there were no problems with his limbs, he was now weak after taking two steps. Mu Mingtang fetched water and helped him to feed the water carefully: "The prince just woke up too weak, so he has no strength. Wait for another raise, it will be fine. Anyway, the chain has been opened now, and we will have time in the future."

Xie Xuanchen's face was faint, and the color on his lips was barely faint: "I can't even walk two steps now. It's no different from a cripple. The chain can't be opened, so what's the difference."

"Why there is no difference." Mu Mingtang slowly sat on the pedals, her undergarments spread out on the ground, brightly colored, just like begonias.

"You just woke up, you are too weak, and you will be well in the future." She said, smiling deliberately, "Let me say that even if the prince is weak now, he is already stronger than many people. Such a heavy chain. , I can't hold my hands, you can lift it up with just one hand."

Such comfort is too clumsy. Xie Xuanchen twitched the corners of his mouth at will and said: "Things are not counted like this. Judging by ordinary people's standards, my current body seems to be OK. But compared with mine, it is far worse. "

Mu Mingtang actually understands this truth, the tiger and the rabbit are not on the same evaluation standard from the beginning. Xie Xuanchen was once famous, and the name of God of War was passed down by word of mouth. Everyone was keen on judging geniuses, such as the sudden fall of today, and the harshness of public opinion is far more than ordinary people who have never been famous.

Especially Xie Xuanchen himself. He knows best what he used to be, and now he is so weak that he needs help even when he walks, so he is the hardest to accept it. Mu Mingtang could not speak, and now he was weak in everything he said. Mu Mingtang stood up, took away the water cup, and re-covered Xie Xuanchen's quilt, saying, "I have never believed in the destiny and destiny of human beings since I was a child. Anywhere, he can live well. It is not accidental that a genius can surpass so many people when he was young. When he grows up, he is still a genius as long as he wants to."

Xie Xuanchen didn't reply. He looked very tired and closed his eyes. Mu Mingtang did not leave, stayed for a while, after watching Xie Xuanchen sleep peacefully, he quietly tucked Xie Xuanchen's quilt.

Xie Xuanchen seemed to be asleep, completely unresponsive. Mu Mingtang felt that Xie Xuanchen's attitude towards life and death was contradictory. He noticed that there was a problem in the porridge while he was in a coma. But after waking up, he seemed certain that he would die.

He heard that his mother was killed by Emperor Gong of the Later Jin Dynasty, and his father died strangely. His cronies and adjutants were suspected of being killed by him. The dignified coach pointed the sharp blade at the fellow who once fought side by side, Xie Xuanchen must have a deep sense of guilt towards him. So his instinct struggled to survive, but his reason was unable to accept such a self.

Looking at this familiar and unfamiliar face, Mu Mingtang couldn't help but whispered: "Outer deterrence of powerful enemies, inner town princes, is worthy of the monarch name Wu'an. Now there is an enemy in the north, Tubo in the west, and Dali in the south. There are still Uighurs and Xixia in the distance, with powerful enemies waiting, and the Sixteen States of Youyun, after being ceded out, are still the territory of foreigners. Although the saints are open today, they emphasize the culture and restrain the martial arts, and they are partial to the people outside the capital. Still living in precariousness. The Ye Dynasty needs you, and the world needs you."

Xie Xuanchen closed his eyelashes quietly, without any response, and seemed to have fallen asleep. Mu Mingtang paused for a while, and said softly: "I need you too. I offend Jiang Mingwei, as long as I place an order, she will never let me go. I rarely raise my eyebrows like this, if it's behind What a shame."

Mu Mingtang suddenly choked, tilted his head to dry the tears from the corners of his eyes, and whispered: "The road is all people walked out. Just stand up when you fall. You have always been the hero in my mind who turned the tide on your own. , I will always be with the prince."
