"What?" Lai Shanzi was stunned for a moment, then let go of his hand and walked towards the bed.

He picked up the orange-red gem and weighed it, with an intriguing smile on his lips: "Are you talking about this piece of orpiment?"

Mu Junyao's eyebrows knitted deeply: "If I remember correctly, this thing was in your shop a few days ago. How come it is in my mother's palace today?"

"Empress?" Lai Shanzi's eyes trembled: "Shouldn't it be?"

"Are you hiding something from me?" Mu Junyao's originally gloomy face suddenly became even darker.

"Yao, how could I hide this from you? I just want to help you." Lai Shanzi finished speaking and sat on his lap. "That day, the wife of the Imperial Censor came to the store to choose jade. She said she wanted to give it to the Imperial Concubine in the palace, so I took this thing out."

"Really?" Mu Junyao was skeptical.

"You don't believe me?" Lai Shanzi pretended to be angry. "I knew it. There are so many women in this palace, and you have many guards around you. How could it be possible that... you don't have me in your heart at all."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mu Junyao said angrily, "I was just wondering how this concubine, a woman in the deep palace, knew that there was something wrong with this stone."

"Maybe it's just a coincidence?" Lai Shanzi asked back.

"Why do I feel that this matter is not that simple?" Mu Junyao rubbed the corner of his lips with his hand: "I really underestimated this Shufei before. Since she gave birth to this daughter, she seems to have become a lot smarter."

"No matter how smart she is, there are only a few pieces of this poisonous stone in the Yuan Kingdom. How did she know it?"

Lai Shanzi looked confused.

"Don't forget, her father is a great general of the dynasty, and her brother Lu Zhaofeng has also been fighting outside for many years. Realgar is not only a poisonous stone, it can also be used as a hidden weapon." Mu Junyao seemed to be in deep thought.

"Okay." Lai Shanzi turned his face over and said, "Why are you thinking about others in front of me? Don't you think about me?"

"You really make me die of anger every day." Mu Junyao said, and couldn't help but pinch him on the face.

"Okay, who cares about the queen or the queen? This is Lingyu Pavilion, and we two are the bosses..."

"You're such a jerk."

A sly smile appeared at the corner of Mu Junyao's lips.

The imperial examination went through the provincial examination, the metropolitan examination, and multiple rounds of screening, and finally five students entered the palace examination.

Emperor Yuanwu arrived at Qiluan Garden early.

He carried the still sleeping Mu Qianqian to the Golden Palace.

The reselling of official positions has occurred in every imperial examination in every dynasty.

Even though this year, he had conducted a strict selection process for both local officials and examiners, Emperor Yuanwu was still very nervous, with a feeling that he could not figure out the answer.

He had listened to Mu Qianqian's thoughts before and learned a lot of things.

at this time.

Although he didn't know whether Mu Qianqian would tell him something in her heart.

Still holding on to a glimmer of hope, he somehow managed to hold her in his arms.

Mu Qianqian was awakened by a loud noise.

She was muttering in her heart, wondering who on earth was so blind that he came to Qiluan Garden to make trouble so early in the morning.

What catches your eye is the magnificent glazed tiles.

Mu Qianqian: ???
