Harem Daily Life

He Linzhang and Mu Chenfeng had a fight and the farewell banquet ended in a bad mood.

Since Concubine De said she had come specially to see His Majesty, Tao Yanyan did not stay long. After the Yan State delegation left, she took Xinlan back to Changle Palace.

Imperial Physician Liu made an excuse to check Concubine Tao's pulse and went back to Changle Palace.

Imperial Physician Liu pulled Tao Yanyan aside mysteriously and said, "Madam, I have something important to tell you." Imperial Physician Liu lowered his voice and said, "The scar on Lord Mu's face is a disguise."

When Tao Yanyan heard this, a hint of surprise and confusion flashed in her eyes: "Are you sure?" she asked.

Doctor Liu nodded: "It is absolutely true. When I was applying the medicine to him at close range just now, I couldn't help but take a closer look, and that's when I discovered the clue."

Tao Yanyan fell into deep thought. Why did Mu Chenfeng disguise his appearance and deliberately create a scar to make his handsome face look like that? Did he show this appearance in Yan State, or did he deliberately make himself ugly after coming to Da Zhou? Whatever the reason, there must be a secret.

"Don't make this matter public for now. I will tell His Majesty myself." Tao Yanyan felt that Mu Chenfeng was more and more strange. His identity was strange, and the way he spoke and acted was also strange.

At the same time, after Mu Chenfeng led the people of Yan back to the inn, his stern face was somewhat sinister. He sneered: "I didn't expect that the Great Zhou Emperor's martial arts were not bad. I thought he was just a pampered monarch."

An older official from the State of Yan said, "The Great Zhou Emperor can lead troops to suppress the rebellion, so he should not be underestimated. Among the four countries, the Great Zhou Emperor is young and promising, and is both civil and military. I believe he can lead the Great Zhou to open up another world."

Mu Chenfeng looked at him unhappily, and the Yan minister immediately fell silent, not daring to praise him anymore.

Another minister immediately flattered him, "Master Gou, please don't encourage others to be more ambitious and destroy the prestige of our Yan State. Our King of Northern Yan is also a man of both civil and military talents, and he is younger than the Emperor of Great Zhou. Under the leadership of King of Northern Yan, although our Yan State is weaker now, it will definitely catch up with Great Zhou in the future."

After that, he stepped forward and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, the advanced iron farm tools and weapons of the Great Zhou that you asked us to buy have been purchased, but the checkpoints outside the city are very strict. How to transport them out when the time comes is a problem."

Mu Chenfeng's face showed no trace of worry. He said, "Leave all this to the Rong family. Since they want to cooperate with my Yan State, then they should show some sincerity. If they can't even do such a small thing, how can I believe that the Rong family will be able to support a new king and seize the Great Zhou in the future?"

The official nodded immediately and said, "Yes, I'll contact them right away." After that, he walked out.

Lord Gou said worriedly, "Your Majesty, we will set off tomorrow. Can the Rong family really transport all the things without any mistakes?"

Mu Chenfeng glanced at him and said, "So what if he can, so what if he can't? We'll go our own way. If he can't transport the things out, he can't say they are ours. He will have to solve the subsequent problems himself."

His eyes were dark and unclear. If the Rong family could be useful, then they would be used. If they were useless even for such a small matter, then he would use this incident to make the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty suspicious of the Rong family.

If the monarch does not trust his subjects and the subjects have ulterior motives towards the monarch, then the relationship between them will fall to the freezing point. The Rong family is stationed on the border between the Great Zhou and the Xia Kingdom. If the Rong family and the Great Zhou emperor have a rift, the border will surely be in chaos, and the more chaotic it is, the more beneficial it will be to the Yan Kingdom.

"Hehe, whether the world is in chaos or not, I, Feng Chenmu, have the final say." After he said that, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. A bigger conspiracy was quietly brewing in his mind.

But when he thought that he would not be able to see the beauty for several years after this separation, he felt a little uncomfortable. Taking a deep breath, Mu Chenfeng took out the jade pendant he carried with him and handed it to Lord Gou: "Didn't you say that you found out that a firewood shop on the street of Zhenbei Palace is owned by Concubine Tao? Send this jade to the shopkeeper and ask her to find a way to pass it on to Concubine Tao."

Lord Gou was shocked: "Your Majesty, why did you give this plum blossom golden phoenix jade pendant to Concubine Tao? Could it be that Your Majesty has a crush on Concubine Tao..." Lord Gou did not dare to think further. His Majesty was good in everything except that he loved fighting and robbing other people's women. It could be said that he had no bottom line when it came to robbing women.

As long as he likes someone, he doesn't care whether she is married or not, or who she is married to, he will do everything he can to snatch her away. Even his own sister-in-law has been sent to the harem.

Mu Chenfeng glanced at him, and seeing his face full of shock, he said nonchalantly: "Everyone loves beauty. Concubine Tao is so beautiful, how can I not be moved?" After that, he rolled his eyes at him and said: "Hurry up and send her off. You can think of an excuse yourself. Go and come back quickly."

Lord Gou did not dare to disobey, so he had to bite the bullet and take the jade pendant, put it away carefully, and hurried to the firewood shop.

March is coming in Beijing, and the firewood shop is slowly entering the off-season. The shop is not busy every day. Dali counts the accounts and is ready to close the shop for a rest. But unexpectedly, a customer comes in, wearing a cloak. After entering, he does not buy firewood or charcoal, but asks to see the shopkeeper.

Dali stepped forward to ask what the visitor wanted. Lord Gou said, "Boss, I am from Yan State. I am here to give a fine jade pendant to Concubine Tao. Please find a way to pass it to her. Don't ask any more questions. Just say it's for a souvenir."

After saying that, Lord Gou took out an exquisite box, which contained the jade.

Dali frowned and said, "Sorry, I don't know any Concubine Tao. If you give it to me, I can't pass it on to you." Dali didn't dare to accept it, and was worried that the other party was trying to get information, so he said it deliberately.

Lord Gou smiled and said, "Little girl, since I have brought it to you, it means that I am sure I did not send it to the wrong person. Well, just accept it with confidence. This is a rare piece of purple jade." After saying that, he placed the jade directly in Dali's hand and left without looking back.

Dali thought about it and decided not to delay any further. She decided to go find Dong Fang overnight and report the matter to him.

Since Dong Fang's last talk with Concubine Tao, he was transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs through the operation of General Manager Li. He no longer had to serve in the palace, but lived outside the palace to do his work. After a while, his name would appear on the list of eunuchs released from the palace, and he would be free again and no longer a slave of the royal family.

Dali came overnight to explain the situation. Dong Fang looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and read it over and over again, but still couldn't figure out what it was.

"The people of Yan sent a jade pendant to the queen?" Dong Fang frowned and said, "They came to you, which means they know you are the queen's man. Well, you can leave the jade pendant with me first. I will find a way to contact Chang Tai tomorrow and send it to the queen in the palace."

Dali was still a little worried: "Dong Fang, will this cause trouble for the queen?"

Dong Fang shook his head: "It shouldn't happen. Besides, the queen is in great favor now and is about to give birth to twins. Maybe the people of Yan are trying to make friends and send a gift to the queen in advance."
