Xie and Tianxia

flower.

Mu Yongning and Mu Shanghua were naturally also invited.The two brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time, but a little rift arose.

At this time, the queen mother said: "Ning'er, it's not that Ai's family is talking about you, your East Palace is full of eunuchs, and there are not many court ladies."

"Thank you, grandma, for your concern. My grandson is already used to being served by them."

"It's not a matter of getting used to it. You're getting older, so if you don't choose a good concubine, you'll have to have a bed-warming maid!"

"This……"

"Come here!" The queen mother said to the little maid behind her: "Come and meet the prince and King Han."

I saw a beautiful palace maid with picturesque temple eyebrows, fair complexion, and good-looking face coming out from behind the queen mother, and said, "Young maid Le (yuè) Yin, I have seen His Royal Highness, King Han, and your Highness Wan An."

The queen mother nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Yueyin has been with Ai's family since she was a child. Although she is a court lady, she does not lose her bearing in her gestures. I wonder what Ning'er thinks of Leyin?"

Mu Yongning didn't have much feeling for Leyin, but Mu Shanghua's eyes couldn't be separated from Leyin.

Leyin was born as a concubine daughter of an aristocratic family. She was sent to the palace to serve the queen mother since she was a child.Coupled with the fact that Leyin was born white and beautiful, it made people feel that Leyin was not a slave, but a noble lady.

"If you go back to the emperor's grandmother, the grandson is now focused on state affairs, and doesn't want to manage things that have nothing to do with the government for the time being. Besides, Miss Leyin is so beautiful, it's a pity to be a bed warming maid."

"So you rejected Leyin?" the queen mother said.

"Ah."

Mu Shanghua suddenly said: "Miss Leyin is so pretty and has a temperament, brother don't want it, why don't grandma give it to me."

The queen mother looked at Mu Shanghua, and said: "The same goes for the Ai family, and Shang Hua is not young, so he didn't think about Hua'er. Then let Leyin serve Hua'er!"

"Thank you, Grandmother, for your success!"

After the banquet, Leyin began to pack up his things and prepare to enter the Han Palace.

At this time, the queen mother came over and said to Le Yin: "Leave the palace immediately to serve Mu Shanghua, but if you have something to bring, the Ai family will ask someone to take care of it for you."

Leyin cried: "Your Majesty, you know that this servant has always liked His Highness the Crown Prince, and never wanted to serve His Highness King Han!"

"The crown prince doesn't want you, what can you do?" The queen mother said lightly.

"His Royal Highness doesn't want me, but the empress can give a slave to His Royal Highness!"

"Mu Yongning won't want you because you are from the Ai family. If he wants to stabilize himself, he will definitely regard the Ai family as his enemy. He will also regard the people around the Ai family as his enemy. He will not keep you by his side. .”

"The servant can't serve His Highness, so the servant will serve Concubine Chen."

"There is no cure!" The queen mother flung her sleeves and left.

In the evening, Leyin was tied up and put on the carriage to Hanwang's mansion.

After arriving at Prince Han's Mansion, Mo Huai personally came out to drag the restless music away.

"Mo Huai, let me go!"

"Let go? What is your identity and what tone are you talking to me? You are just a little maid. It is your blessing that His Highness takes a fancy to you!"

"But I really don't want to serve His Royal Highness the King of Han!" Le Yin cried as he lay paralyzed on the ground.

"It's getting late, Your Highness is about to rest, let's go!"

Leyin ignored Mo Huai, just kept crying.

Mo Huai said angrily: "My lord doesn't have that much patience, come here!"

I saw two burly men walking over and said, "This subordinate is here!"

"You two, take Leyin girl down to freshen up, and then send her to His Highness's bedroom."

As soon as Leyin saw these two big men and thieves looking at her, she panicked all of a sudden, hugged Mo Huai's thigh and said: "Master Mo, this slave will go to serve on her own, and will go."

"That's fine, you two go down first." Mo Huai looked down at Le Yin, and said, "Let's go."

After a lot of tossing, Leyin changed into the clothes of King Han's Mansion and came to the other courtyard where Mu Shanghua lived.

The sky was getting darker and darker, but Mu Shanghua did not return, so Leyin walked out of the other courtyard and walked into the garden by mistake. When he saw a little maid busy making arrangements, he went up curiously to ask Said: "Sister, what are you doing?"

"Oh, His Royal Highness King Han saw the flowers blooming in the garden earlier, thinking that it would be interesting to enjoy the flowers under this light at night, so he ordered the servants to arrange some wine and snacks."

The little maid was talking, when Mu Shanghua came over and said, "I wanted to order someone to call you just now, but I didn't expect you to come first, Miss Leyin."

"I have seen His Royal Highness King Han."

"Excuse me, except Yueyin, you all go down."

The little maidservants responded and retreated knowingly.Only Leyin and Mu Shanghua were left in the whole garden.

Mu Shanghua said: "Miss Leyin is really pretty. The moonlight is so beautiful today, how about we drink wine and enjoy the flowers?" After speaking, he took Leyin's hand and pulled her to sit beside him.

Leyin didn't appreciate it, and threw Mu Shanghua away, saying: "Your Highness, please respect yourself."

"Why did you reject me? You must be tempted by my brother."

"Yes, so what."

"Hahahaha" Mu Shanghua laughed suddenly and said, "You like the emperor, why don't you like me? Or is it because I'm just a prince and I'm not good enough for you, the second lady of the Hou family!"

"I--"

"But the Second Miss of the Hou family is just your previous identity, and now you are just an anonymous maid." After Mu Shanghua finished speaking, he stroked Leyin's face and said, "You serve me well, and I will give you a favor." This title will not disgrace your identity as the second young miss of the Hou family."

Le Yin took a step back abruptly, and said, "My lord, please respect yourself."

"This king is not self-respecting, what can you do with this king?" After finishing speaking, she pulled Leyin over and kissed Leyin. Leyin was frightened, and bit Mu Shanghua's lips hard with her teeth. Shang Hua was in pain, so he let go of Le Yin.

After the two separated, Le Yin slapped him with a "slap" and ran away.

Mu Shanghua touched the half of his face that was beaten, and said: "What's so good about my imperial brother? Why is Zhijun facing him, Qin Wang's facing him, mother's queen facing him, and even you are fond of imperial brother."

At this time, Mo Huai came over and said: "If your Highness is jealous, you can take the crown prince's position. Making Mu Yongning the crown prince is just to see if he is qualified to be the emperor of Yue Kingdom, and your highness has a chance to kill the crown prince." , just to see if His Highness is willing."

"This king usually doesn't like to manage the government, how can this compare with the emperor's brother?"

"It's not about being more capable than anyone else, but about living longer."

"What do you mean?"

"If His Royal Highness dies..."

"Shut up! Put away your crooked thoughts, this king doesn't care about being an emperor, this king is just a little unwilling." After Mu Shanghua finished speaking, he turned and went back to the other courtyard.

Mo Huai looked at Mu Shanghua's back, and said, "Just wait and see! You will beg me to help you become emperor."

☆, framed by design

Leyin ran to the back door, she saw that the back was flooded, so she pushed it, and when the door opened, she saw a carriage parked there, as if she was waiting for someone here.

Seeing someone approaching, the coachman said, "Miss is Yueyin?"

"I'm Leyin, are you?"

"I'm from the East Palace, and I'm here to pick up the girl by His Highness's order."

"His Royal Highness came to pick me up? Why?"

"His Royal Highness and the little one said that when they saw the girl in the morning, they felt that the girl was strong-tempered. When His Highness learned that you contradicted the Queen Mother in order to serve him, His Highness guessed that if you went to serve His Highness King Han, you would definitely resist and run out, so he sent the little girl to pick you up."

"Really?" Leyin laughed.

"Miss doesn't believe that small ones are fine, but look at this carriage is exclusively for the royal family in the palace. It shows that His Highness attaches great importance to you."

Leyin walked around the carriage and found that it was indeed the carriage of the palace, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

After Le Yin got into the carriage, the coachman drove his horse towards the palace.When they arrived outside the palace, the coachman let Leyin get out of the car, gave Leyin the badge to enter the palace, and said: "Miss Leyin, go in."

"What about you? You won't go in with me?"

"Young one has other things to do, Miss Leyin, hurry up and go in, don't make His Highness wait in a hurry."

Although Leyin thought it was weird, but the palace was close at hand, so she went in without thinking too much.

When Leyin ran to the East Palace, the door was closed tightly, and no one responded when she knocked on the door. At this moment, Leyin felt someone behind her, and suddenly turned her head to find Mu Yongning standing behind her.

Before Leyin could speak, Mu Yongning said, "Is it Miss Leyin?"

"Yes, Your Royal Highness, you sent someone to bring me into the palace, don't you know?"

"The prince ordered someone to pick you up into the palace?" Mu Yongning said: "Don't stand outside for now, go into the palace and talk, it's cold outside, don't freeze."

After entering the East Palace, Mu Yongning invited Leyin to the study.

"Let's get straight to the point. The Crown Prince didn't let anyone take you into the palace. Who brought you back?"

"Isn't Your Highness not there?"

"It's never happened before. The girl saw it just now. The prince went to pay his respects to the queen mother, and when he came back, he saw the girl calling at the gate of the East Palace."

When Leyin heard that Mu Yongning didn't send someone to pick her up, she felt that something was wrong, so she told Mu Yongning exactly what happened to her.

"What happened to the girl is very strange, it seems to be aimed at the prince."

"Then what are they trying to do?" Leyin asked puzzled.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.Mu Yongning said, "Who?"

"His Royal Highness, it's Xiao Luozi, who brought you tea."

"come in."

Eunuch Luo came in and brought tea and pastries, then closed the door and went out.

"Drink some tea to warm up first." Mu Yongning poured a cup of tea and handed it to Leyin.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Leyin drank the tea after finishing speaking. After all, Leyin was already thirsty all the way here. When he saw the tea, he naturally drank a few more cups.

But when Mu Yongning was about to speak, Leyin suddenly vomited blood.

Mu Yongning was terrified, and hurried to Leyin's side, and said, "What's the matter, girl?"

"Your Highness, Your Highness, here, there is in this tea, there is—" Le Yin vomited another pool of blood before finishing speaking, and then died.

Seeing this, Mu Yongning hurriedly said: "Come here, someone has been poisoned, hurry up and wear the imperial physician."

But at this moment, a voice came from outside the East Palace, "The Queen Mother is here." The Queen Mother came in.

"What's going on here?" Seeing Le Yin in Mu Yongning's arms, the queen mother was puzzled and said, "Isn't this Le Yin serving in the Han Palace?"

Eunuch Luo ran over and said, "As far as the Empress Dowager is concerned, Leyin was serving at the Prince Han's Mansion before, but later His Highness regretted it, so he sent a servant to pick up Leyin. As for why Leyin is like this, the servant does not know."

"Eunuch Luo, when did the prince say that he was going to accept music into the palace? You, you are—"

"Your Highness has done everything, why don't you admit it? By the way, Empress Dowager, His Highness the Crown Prince ordered his servants to go outside the palace to get intestinal poison. His Highness said that the people in the palace are sinister, so we must guard against villains. Just now When the slave was delivering the tea, he saw that His Highness had a conflict with Le Yin, so..."

What an eunuch Luo, just accusing me of hiding poison is already a felony, plus the matter of Leyin, I am afraid that if there are no witnesses, I will not be able to escape the blame.

"Is that really the case?" asked the Queen Mother.

"Emperor Grandmother, please explain why you came here. It's getting late, and you usually have a rest at this time."

"You still need to take care of Aijia's work? Why don't you explain Leyin's matter!"

"Grandmother, let them all go down, and let your people look at the people in my East Palace, don't let them leave the East Palace."

"What do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, just explain it to the emperor's grandmother."

"You all go down. Eunuch De, watch carefully." After finishing speaking, the queen mother sat down on the seat and said, "Can you explain?"

Mu Yongning put down the music, walked to the Queen Mother, and said, "Grandmother, first explain the poison. You know that I have also learned the palace rules of the Yue Kingdom, and I know that it is forbidden to bring poison into the palace without permission. I can't do it." To do such a stupid thing, just now, Eunuch Luo was just framing."

"Without witnesses and evidence, the Ai family would not believe it."

"Whoever says there are no witnesses, the emperor's grandmother is the witness. This is more than anyone else. The emperor's grandmother, please come to the table and take a look at this teacup."

"Aren't these just two ordinary cups?"

"I also drank tea just now. I still have leftover tea in this cup, and there is no tea I spit out around, which means I drank tea. Since I'm fine after drinking it, shouldn't the poison be injected? Into the teapot."

"Yes."

Mu Yongning escaped the silver needle from his arms, and said: "This silver needle is for me to prevent poison, now I put the silver needle in the teapot, you have a look."

"It hasn't turned black, and the tea is not poisonous."

"So the poison was touched on the teacup. The two cups are exactly the same, and the poisoner didn't know which cup Leyin would use, so both cups were smeared with poison."

"If it's what you said, why are you okay?"

"Grandmother, this poison is very subtle."

Mu Yongning poured out the remaining tea, poured more water a few times, then picked up the silver needle and put it into the cup.

"The silver needle is black, this—" the Queen Mother exclaimed.

"Grandmother, if I want to poison Leyin, I won't be so troublesome. I can just pass the poison through the intestines, and this tea was sent by Eunuch Luo. This is testified by the maids and eunuchs, so the poison must be poisonous." He wiped it. As for hiding the poison, no matter what you think, it’s impossible. I have no grievances with anyone. Even if I really hate someone, I am the prince. I can punish him with just one excuse. Why bother? Violating the palace rules and hiding poison?"

"Why did Mr. Luo do this?"

"Eunuch Luo was instigated by others, and he couldn't have thought of such a sharp plan."

"The Ai family is curious, what kind of poisonous scheme makes you so sure that Eunuch Luo didn't come up with it?"

☆, get rid of the crisis

Mu Yongning smiled lightly and said: "The other party knows that Leyin must be thirsty all the way, so he must drink a lot of water. And these few glasses of water are enough to let the poison dissolve into the water and poison people to death. If I drink as much as Leyin A few glasses of water, I will be poisoned to death, and the death of me and Leyin will be borne by Mr. Luo; if Leyin dies and I am fine, I will be charged with possession of poison and poisoning others. No matter what I am a victim no matter what, and I don’t need to say more about the real beneficiaries.”

"..."

"Someone called you here."

"Mo Huai sent someone to tell Ai's family to come to the East Palace, saying that there is a surprise."

"Grandmother, is my explanation okay?"

"Eunuch De!"

Eunuch De responded and said, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

"Send someone to send Leyin's body to King Han's Mansion. At that time, it will be said that Leyin stole the token of entering the palace and sneaked into the palace from King Han's Mansion. This violated the Ai family's order, so the Ai family executed her on the spot."

"Yes, empress." Eunuch De turned to the eunuch behind him and said, "Don't move away yet!"

After Eunuch De left, the Empress Dowager said, "What do you plan to do with that Eunuch Luo who betrayed you?"

"Don't bother the emperor's grandmother, the grandson will take care of it."

"You are nothing like your father."

"..."

"Go to Shoukang Palace if you have time. Ai's family is quite lonely alone. As a grandson, shouldn't you spend more time with Ai's family and be filial?"

"Grandson understands."

After the Queen Mother left, Mu Yongning called Eunuch Luo in and said, "You did it."

This is not a question, but a statement of fact.Eunuch Luo knelt down on the ground at once, and said: "This slave didn't intend to betray His Highness, yes, it was Mo Huai who arrested this slave's younger brother and threatened this slave. You know that this slave's younger brother is everything I have, and Mo Huai also said After the matter is done, I will protect my younger brother Shitu Wuyou, so this slave has done something stupid!"

"It seems that the prince will keep you too."

"Your Highness, please forgive me, Your Highness, please forgive me!"

"Forgive me? You will betray the prince once for your brother, and you will betray the second and third times in the future. The prince heard that there is a lack of a coolie eunuch in Lenggong. You can report it tomorrow." Mu Yongning After speaking, he left the study.

The next day, Mu Yukun arrived at the East Palace, and when he saw Mu Yongning, he said, "Have you heard about what happened yesterday?"

"What is it?"

"About Leyin, a good little girl just disappeared. She is Zhijun's younger sister, and she is considered a descendant of the family. After her death, no one from the Hou family asked about it, and the Han Palace did not intend to properly bury Leyin."

"Does the emperor want to know how Leyin died?"

"Why? Could there be something hidden in it?"

Mu Yongning pulled Mu Yukun to sit down, and explained to Mu Yukun what happened last night.

"Did Mo Huai really do it? I really can't see how an upright person would do such a thing."

"Maybe Mo Huaiyuan is more than that simple. If we compare the affairs in the palace and the court to a game of chess, then the person playing the chess layout may not be the Queen Mother, but Mo Huai."

"This, this king still doesn't quite believe it."

"I didn't believe it before, but it was indeed Mo Huai who did it. Shang Hua's ears are soft, but he would definitely not be able to do such a harmful thing. And the biggest beneficiary after my accident was directed at Shang Hua, If Shang Hua obtained this kind of benefit without knowing it, he should not forget Mo Huai."

"This statement is not unreasonable."

"Uncle, I originally thought that Mo Huai belonged to the Empress Dowager. I was afraid that he would help the Empress Dowager to deal with me in the palace, so I transferred him out of the palace. I didn't expect him to use Shang Hua. Shang Hua's ears He is soft and has no opinions, if something big happens, he might be taken advantage of by Mo Huai."

"Don't worry, the soldiers will cover the water and the earth, you and me, if Mo Huai is the one in charge of the chess game, we may not be killed by his chess pieces. As for His Highness King Han, didn't you just say that he is He will not do anything harmful to nature, as long as he sticks to his heart, he will not be used by Mo Huai."

"Uncle, you are right."

"But it's better to be more careful in the future."

"Thank you, Uncle Huang, for your concern. We won't talk about this anymore. I heard that the scientific examination will start soon. The examiner and test papers for this year's scientific examination are arranged by Uncle Huang and the people from the academy."

"Well, that's right."

"Uncle Huang, I plan to sit in this scientific examination myself."

"Why?"

"I want to take this opportunity to go out of the palace to understand the people's sentiments, and I also want to see what this scientific examination is like."

"It's simple. The original examiners were all former officials. It's just that two veteran officials resigned and returned to their hometowns last year. This year I arranged for Hou Guogong, and there is another one that I haven't thought about yet. Since you have an idea, then I will Arrange for you."

"Thank you for the arrangement, Uncle Huang."

"There is no need for so much courtesy between you and me."

"Is the emperor free later?"

"what happened?"

"I would like to invite Uncle Huang to sit in Shoukang Palace."

"To the queen's place?"

"Actually, the emperor's grandmother is a pitiful person. She usually just pretends to be strong. You said that although she is a woman who has dominated the government for many years, she also has a soft and tender side. She is actually a mother, a mother who lost her child."

"..."

"I remember Uncle Huang said before that the queen mother who lived outside the palace before the emperor's death also moved back. All this seems to be a coincidence, but it is not."

"How to say?"

"Uncle Huang, have you ever thought that the Queen Mother came back from the palace just to see the last side of the son she brought up? We always think so badly about the Queen Mother, but in fact, she is also a woman who lost her son! "

"..."

"Go and see the imperial grandmother, there are some things that need to be clarified."

☆, happy and harmonious

In Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager was teasing the birds hanging on the corridor.At this time, Degong said: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and the King of Qin are here."

"Why are they here?" The Queen Mother frowned, "Let them in."

After the two came in, the queen mother said: "What's the matter? Now is not the time to ask for peace."

"Emperor Grandmother, you can't come and sit down when it's not time to greet you."

"Hmph, Your Highness is very free now!"

"I have to take time out of my busy schedule to accompany you, the betrayed loner." Mu Yongning suddenly stood up, walked to the queen mother and said.

"Yongning, don't be rude!" Mu Yukun said.

"Kun'er" the queen mother waved her hand and said, "The Ai family wants to hear how the Ai family is a widow."

"The power is no longer in your hands. No matter whether I seized the military power or not, you will not be the one who benefits in the end. I didn't expect this at first, but when Mo Huai attacked me yesterday , I have such a guess."

"In the whole palace, you are the one who sees it the most." The queen mother stood up and said, "You are right!"

"When did you notice it?" Mu Yukun asked.

"Just when Ai's family wanted to entrust Mo Huai to Ning'er. Ning'er refused at that time, and asked Mo Huai to go out of the palace to follow Hua'er. Ai's family wanted Mo Huai to help Hua'er, but he did not expect that Kind of mind."

"..."

"Actually, Ai's family was already exhausted when he left the palace, so exhausted that he didn't want to take care of things."

"Mother, Shang Hua has a pure nature, so she shouldn't be easily used by Mo Huai." Mu Yukun comforted.

"The Ai family transferred Mo Huai away."

"It's better for the queen mother not to act rashly. It's a disaster for Mo Huai to enter the court, and it's even more difficult to guard against when he leaves the capital. The best way is to stay in Han Wang's mansion. If he wants to continue to attack, Han Wang will not be aware of it."

"Uncle Huang is right."

"It seems that with you here, even if the Ai family wants to continue fighting with you, they will not be able to fight you."

"Grandmother" Mu Yongning helped the queen mother to sit down, and then said: "Then don't worry about these messy things, you should enjoy what you should enjoy at your age."

"Something to enjoy?"

"Didn't you let your grandson come to sit and sit with you yesterday if you have nothing to do? Didn't the emperor say that there is nothing to do today, so he came to the emperor's grandma to have a meal with the cheek."

The queen mother looked at Mu Yongning, then at Mu Yukun, and said with a smile: "Eunuch De, let the imperial dining room cook a few more dishes, and stay here at noon today."

During the dinner, the Empress Dowager dropped her usual majesty and chatted with the children.

"Aijia remembers that the adopted children were twin brothers. The elder brother was usually not talkative and not as naughty as Rong'er. Later, when he grew up, he discovered that the elder brother had a hidden psychological disease. Unfortunately, it was too late when he found out, and he was gone. At that time, the Ai family was criticized by the other concubines and His Majesty's indifference, and raised Rong'er alone. In this embarrassing situation, only the first queen was wholeheartedly good to the Ai family."

When Mu Yukun heard that the queen mother mentioned his mother, he was startled, his hands on his lap clenched into fists secretly, as if he didn't want to recall that period of the past.

Seeing that something was wrong with Mu Yukun, Mu Yongning put his hand on Mu Yukun's and patted it, signaling him to relax.

At this time, the queen mother continued: "The Ai family did not lie to Kun'er before. At that time, the first queen was kind to the Ai family, and it was because she was too good to the Ai family that the Ai family let down her guard. The first queen has never had children. Aijia is good only because she has taken a fancy to the eldest prince raised by Aijia. That's why she secretly uses witchcraft to put the blame on Aijia, so that she can put the blame on Aijia and take Rong'er away from Aijia. "

"Then how does Nanny Ye explain?" Mu Yukun gritted his teeth.

"The Ai family originally found out that the first empress wanted to use witchcraft to frame the Ai family, and wanted to deal with it, but at this time, it was discovered in the palace that the first empress was pregnant, so the Ai family temporarily concealed the matter. After the queen gave birth successfully, the emperor wanted to make the queen's son the crown prince. Ai's family thought of Rong'er and Mo's family, so they reported the matter. The emperor attached great importance to the art of witchcraft, so the investigation It was very strict. In the end, it was found out that the witchcraft was done by the first queen, so the first queen was abolished, and the prince was also abolished. The first queen was pampered since she was a child, and she was not used to the hard life in the cold palace. Aijia once visited her She doesn't need the help of Ai's family, and hopes that Ai's family will give her a decent death. Ai's family left a white silk before leaving. After Ai's family left, news spread that the former queen committed suicide. As for Ye Momo, she is The confidants of the former empress must hate the empress dowager, so isn't Kun'er the best tool to sow discord?"

"This this……"

"Kun'er, whether you believe it or not, the facts are the facts, and there is no need for Aijia to lie to you."

Mu Yukun didn't answer, just stroked his forehead with his hand, lowered his head in thought.

Mu Yongning smoothed things over and said, "Grandmother, the emperor must find it difficult to accept the facts, please forgive me."

"My family knows."

"Grandmother, I've almost finished my meal. It's not good to miss your lunch break. I, Uncle Yu, will take my leave."

After Mu Yongning finished speaking, he pulled Mu Yukun away from Shoukang Palace.

After Mu Yongning dragged Mu Yukun along for a while, Mu Yukun suddenly stopped, lowered his head and said to Mu Yongning, "I want to go to the Leng Palace."

"Okay, I'll accompany you."

"No need, you go back first."

"I don't. Uncle Huang, you used to comfort me when I was haunted by nightmares. Why can't I comfort you when you are in trouble? Uncle Huang, I also want to share your worries!"

"..."

Seeing that Mu Yukun didn't speak, Mu Yongning continued to drag Mu Yukun towards the cold palace.

After arriving at the cold palace, Mu Yukun took Mu Yongning to a fairly clean palace, opened the door and entered.

"It's too messy inside, you shouldn't have come," Mu Yukun said.

"It's okay, the emperor can come, why can't I come?"

"This is the place where my mother used to live. At that time, I was still young, and I was also raised by the queen. When I was a little older, I left the palace to live. I also stayed with the mother less often. I always thought that the mother was wronged, especially Ye Mammy's words made me feel that the queen mother is a heinous person, but I didn't expect..."

Mu Yongning patted Mu Yukun on the back and said, "Uncle Emperor, in your eyes, the former empress is a good person, and the emperor's grandmother is an evil person, but you only see one side of them, not the other side, so there will be Different feeling."

"..."

"Uncle Huang is an image of me now, and he may change his image of me in the future. This does not mean that I will become shrewd or pedantic in the future. It means that you understand me better. Learn more , people will also look at the intrigue in the court and the various states of the world with a more peaceful state of mind. You know that the reason why Gu Renren can not be happy with things and not sad with themselves is because they have a more comprehensive understanding of everything. Viewpoints, so we can not be surprised by changes.”

Mu Yukun was shocked by these words, he would never have thought that a child who was not favored by him could say such a stately thing, as if he had experienced it before.Mu Yukun looked at Mu Yongning's harmless face, and thought: He is not simple.

The author has something to say: small theater (it has nothing to do with the main drama):

Mu Yukun (face full of disbelief): I seem to see another side of your innocent and lovely face now.

Mu Yongning (face full of anticipation): What is it?

Mu Yukun (serious): It is the material to lead the country of Yue to prosperity.

Mu Yongning (disappointed): What, it's obviously because of my pure and lovely appearance that there is a determination to have sex with the emperor.

☆, surging waves

After the two came out of the cold palace, they returned to the East Palace.As soon as I arrived at the gate of the palace, I saw a handsome young man standing at the gate.

"This is Hou Guogong's grandson, Hou Ruijun. I have met the crown prince and King Qin."

"What's the matter with Mr. Hou?" Mu Yongning asked.

"When my grandfather returned home in a carriage yesterday, the horse was startled for some reason. Grandpa accidentally fell off the carriage and broke his leg."

"Broken? Then..."

"The doctor said, I've been hurt for a hundred days, so my grandfather asked me to go to the academy to find His Highness King Qin. I didn't see you in the academy, so I guessed that you were in the East Palace, so I waited here."

"It's cold outside, come in and sit for a while." Mu Yongning said with concern.

"No need..." After Hou Gongzi finished speaking, he looked at Mu Yukun.

"Uncle, what does Mr. Hou see you doing?" Mu Yongning looked at Mr. Hou, and then at Mu Yukun.

"Yongning doesn't know something, Mr. Hou is a Jinshi in the last scientific examination, and he is currently the Governor of Shuntian Mansion." Mu Yukun said.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, I'm also busy with business, so let's forget about the position of the chief examiner."

Mu Yongning on the side smiled and said: "Young Master Hou, Xiao Wang guesses that what Hou Guogong asked you to find the emperor's uncle is to let the emperor order you to replace your grandfather."

"But, I..."

Mu Yukun continued: "Originally there were two examiners missing, one was replaced by Hou Guogong, and the other was originally replaced by you. Later, Yong Ning wanted to, so I didn't let you be the examiner."

"Then I would like to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince," Hou Gongzi bowed.

Mu Yongning said: "Don't thank me, the two examiners now, one is me and the other is you."

"Then His Royal Highness King Qin must help me with the affairs of the Shuntian Mansion!"

"Help you?" Mu Yukun snorted coldly, and then said: "This king still has the memorials that His Royal Highness should deal with to be approved."

Mu Yongning looked at Hou Ruijun and said, "Does Mr. Hou have any objections?"

"No, no, please be busy, I'll go back and deal with the Shuntian Mansion's affairs first."

Back in the study, Mu Yongning said, "Uncle Emperor, I think there is something wrong with Duke Hou being injured at this time."

"You mean to say that someone tampered with the horses of the Hou Mansion? Could it be Mo Huai who did it?"

"I'm not sure yet. By the way, Uncle Huang, you said before that the examiners are all pre-determined, and they are the same every year."

"Well, what happened?"

"I seem to know why Hou Guogong was injured. Uncle Huang, I want the information of those officials, such as his privacy."

"This... Mr. Hou should have a way to get it."

"Then I'll go to Shuntian Mansion to find Mr. Hou now. As for this memorial..." Mu Yongning walked to Mu Yukun's side, hugged his arm and said coquettishly: "Uncle Huang~"

"I don't know what ghost plans you have in mind every day, be careful when you leave the palace!"

"Thank you, Uncle Huang, I still want the list of examiners."

"Wait, I'll write you a copy."

Mu Yongning rushed all the way to Shuntian Mansion with the list, and found Hou Ruijun who was working.

"His Royal Highness, why are you here? Take your seat!"

"No need, I don't like too much formality, it's good that we are like friends in private."

"Your Highness, you are much more eloquent than His Royal Highness King Qin." Hou Ruijun patted Mu Yongning on the shoulder: "How about I invite Your Highness to go out for a stroll?"

"That's okay, I'm here to tell you something. I just heard Uncle Huang say that you have a way to get officials' privacy, so I came to ask."

"Well, Your Highness really asked the right person. Your Highness, come with me."

Hou Ruijun took Mu Yongning to a brothel in the capital.

"His Royal Highness, this brothel is the property of my Marquis's Mansion, and it is full of peerless beauties or young men. Generally, the famous and famous people in the capital will go to have fun. So some things, the girls and young men inside know best."

"Mr. Hou, are they reliable? They don't even know the people on this list."

"I must know, it must be reliable! Once a man enters this gentle town, he can spit out everything."

After Hou Ruijun finished speaking, he took Mu Yongning in. As soon as he entered, the girls surrounded him one by one, and said, "Isn't this Mr. Hou? I haven't seen you for a few days."

"Yes, yes, the young master behind Mr. Hou is also very handsome."

"Is your son interested in coming to play?"

"Girls, be quiet. This young master and I are here to do business. Hurry up and let the madam open an upper room, and then call the number one over."

After the two came to the private room arranged by the old bustard, a Mr. Pian Pian came to pour tea for them.

"Brother Mu, this is the most popular card here, if you have any questions, ask him."

"Young master, I want to know all the information about the people on this list."

Xiaowan glanced at the names on the list, turned around and left.After a while, he came in with some girls and young men.

"Second sons, they often serve these people, they can answer you."

"Okay then, let's come one by one."

☆, suspicious

"Hahahaha, you're killing me
