Quickly wear the host, don't panic, the person hasn't run far yet

Mu Wanxi then curled her lips.

"That's pretty much it."

The smile on Su Mu's lips kept growing.

"So, Wanwan, let's do something."

Something he had been thinking about for a long time.

Mu Wanxi raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Mu with interest, not knowing what he was up to.

But the next moment she was stunned and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Su Mu curved his beautiful eyebrows, smiled calmly, and his eyes were gentle and doting.

Mu Wanxi only felt that she was drowning in his gentle eyes.

----

The next day.

Because of his cruelty to his brothers and sisters, Crown Prince Liang Yicheng was deposed from his position as Crown Prince and banished from the Eastern Palace. He is now imprisoned in the royal palace and is not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned.

When this decree was issued, the whole court was in an uproar.

The Crown Prince, as the Empress, was immoral and actually sent royal assassins to assassinate his own brother, which almost caused the general of the dynasty to lose his life as well.

For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the court.

Naturally, some people from the prince's faction came out to protect the prince, hoping that the emperor would investigate clearly. They believed that there must be something fishy going on and that they were probably framed by others.

But how could the officials from other princes' factions miss this opportunity? They all kept attacking the crown prince.

It is said that only the crown prince can mobilize the royal death squad, so who could frame him?

As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers seemed to have thought of something in tacit understanding. The minister who said this instantly broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that he had said something he shouldn't have said in a hurry.

Fortunately, the emperor did not pursue the matter. He just said that the matter had been clarified and there was no need to discuss it further. The prince was therefore confined to the palace and no one knew what the emperor meant.

There are rumors in the harem that the prince was able to keep his title and save his life this time only because his biological mother, the Queen Mother, pleaded for him. She took off her hairpin to apologize, and knelt in front of the imperial study for three days to beg the emperor. Finally, the emperor showed special mercy.

However, Queen Wang also developed a rift with the emperor because of this. After this incident, when it was heard that Queen Wang fell ill, the emperor never visited her.

There was a lot of discussion in the palace and the court. Only Eunuch Lian, who stood calmly beside the emperor, knew what the reason was.

Mr. Lian's wrinkled face was slightly tense at the moment. Thinking of the maid who was driven out of Zhaixing Tower, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

This useless thing not only did not help, but also made that person unhappy and brought bad luck.

She called the eunuch over and whispered a few words in his ear. The eunuch lowered his head, nodded repeatedly, and then walked out.

Emperor Xia Wen, who was reviewing memorials on the side, looked at the court officials who had finally calmed down and stopped talking about the Crown Prince. They handed in some irrelevant memorials of greeting. He narrowed his eyes and noticed Eunuch Lian's actions.

He asked in a deep voice: "What's wrong?"

Eunuch Lian immediately smiled, bent over and walked closer to massage Emperor Xia Wen's sore shoulders.

"I thought the weather was too hot, so I told them to bring you a bowl of iced cold yuanzi to cool you down."

Emperor Xia Wen closed his eyes in enjoyment, feeling the perfect force behind him.

"Well, you understand my feelings best."

Eunuch Lian smiled and lowered his head without saying a word, and the room fell into silence.

After a long time, Emperor Xia Wen suddenly asked.

"Little Lianzi, tell me, which of my sons is most capable of taking on this important task?"

As soon as these words came out, Lian Sheng immediately knelt on the ground and said in panic.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I dare not discuss state affairs."

Emperor Xia Wen glanced at Lian Sheng who was kneeling on the ground.

After a while, he snorted softly through his nose.

"Get up, I just asked you casually, look how scared you are."

Lian Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood up timidly.

He picked up the fan beside him and fanned Emperor Xia Wen with careful movements.

Emperor Xia Wen turned his head and looked out the window. Seeing the cloudless, clear sky, he squinted his cloudy eyes slightly.

"Isn't it? It hasn't rained for quite a while."

Lian Sheng followed Emperor Xia Wen's gaze and glanced out the window.

He replied yes.

And then he said.

"Your Majesty, the weather is really hot. I will bring a bowl of iced cold yuanzi to the Imperial Master to cool him down."

Emperor Xia Wen hummed lightly.

Lian Sheng then retreated.

When I arrived at the Zhaixing Tower, I saw Mu Wanxi taking a rest on the rooftop while observing the stars.

Lian Sheng shifted his gaze to the man leaning behind Mu Wanxi.

He is indeed handsome, elegant and refined.

The two of them snuggled together, so beautiful that it seemed unreal, as if they were immortals in the sky, detached from this world.

Lian Sheng's eyes flickered when he saw his ears and nine tails exposed without any hesitation.

Lian Sheng was about to bend over to greet him, but he saw the man raise his head and make a gesture to him to keep quiet.

His eyes were unusually sharp, completely different from the gentle look he had just given Mu Wanxi.

He glanced coldly at the food box in Lian Sheng's hand and motioned him to put it aside.

Lian Sheng conveyed His Majesty's intention in a low voice, wanting to ask the Imperial Master when he would prepare for the next rain.

Su Mu just nodded to indicate that he understood.

Then he stopped looking at him.

Seeing that he had no intention of paying any more attention to her, Lian Sheng tactfully prepared to leave.

Su Mu suddenly spoke.

"That Yinshuang is yours, right?"

Lian Sheng was startled and stammered.

"This... is indeed the maid selected by me..."

Su Mu said calmly.

"She made Wanwan unhappy. You know how to deal with it."

Just kicking her out of Zhaixing Tower would be too easy for her.

Lian Sheng raised his head and met Su Mu's gaze.

His eyes were unusually deep, as if he could see through people; they were sharp, without a trace of warmth.

Lian Sheng was startled by such a look.

"Yes..." Lian Sheng quickly lowered his head and responded.

After Su Mu finished speaking, he lowered his head and stopped looking at him. When he looked at Mu Wanxi, his eyes returned to their previous gentleness.

It was as if the creepy look just now was just Lian Sheng's illusion.

Lian Sheng exited the Zhaixing Tower and just walked outside the door.

The heavy rain poured down with a crackling sound.

Lian Sheng was unable to dodge and was hit like a drowned chicken. He hurriedly ran into the corridor to take shelter.

He raised his head and glanced at the top of the observatory again, cold sweat breaking out on his body.

Mu Wanxi, who was pretending to sleep with her eyes closed, couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.

"I'm afraid that Master Lian didn't know how he could bear to see our little fox in the end."

Su Mu curled his lips and said somewhat aggrievedly.

"Wanwan, are you pretending to sleep and watching me laugh?"

Mu Wanxi opened her eyes, and Su Mu's figure was reflected entirely in her pupils as bright as stars.

There was a smile in her eyes.

"I'm not pretending to be asleep. Didn't you know I wasn't asleep all along?"

Mu Wanxi reached out and rubbed the little fox's ears.

Su Mu's cheeks instantly turned red.

"I'm just curious about how our clever little fox knew that Yin Shuang was Eunuch Lian's woman."
