44. Leave the Imperial Palace

Leaving the Imperial

Palace Phoenix Nirvana: The Road

to Glory and Favor of the Demon Queen Li Shiyu did indeed appear in the public’s line of sight. He was still dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, but he was no longer as weak as when he was in a coma. He was extremely healthy, and his eyes were already as sharp as they had been at the beginning.

“I see Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!” Mu Zhanxiao knelt down to pay his respects.

Mu Lan also knelt down and did not raise his head all the way.

Li Shiyu motioned to Mu Zhanxiao to get up, and did not look at Mu Lan, Mu Lan realized that his move was unnecessary, after all, this face, no one can recognize.

Mu Zhihua’s face was changed. What about her? Is a complete change in appearance, people and God, after all, is not the same.

She silently laughed at herself, then got up and stood respectfully beside Mu Zhanxiao. Mu Lan knew very well that Li Shiyu would not ask more, even if he felt strange, he would not ask more. That’s Li Shiyu’s enough trust in Mu Zhanxiao.

They are the people who came from the storm together, and if they didn’t trust each other, they wouldn’t be here now.

“Out of the palace?” Li Shiyu asked directly.

“Yes.” Mu Zhanxiao did not deny it.

Li Shi-yu didn’t even ask much: “Go.”

Then Li Shiyu walked toward the Royal Dragon Palace, and said nothing more, Mu Zhanxiao stood in place to send Li Shiyu away, until Li Shiyu’s figure disappeared, Mu Zhanxiao took Mu Lan toward the Meridian Gate.

As he walked along, Mu Zhanxiao said, “Since your accident, the emperor has become very reticent. Even the elders of the three Dynasties have been asking the emperor to set up a concubine and continue to have children. Up to now, those people are silent and dare not mention a word more.”. In the early morning, no one would dare to say anything other than right thing.

Mu Lan did not speak, but listened quietly.

Your position in the emperor’s heart is different from that of anyone else, and cannot be replaced by anyone or anything else. So I feel that no matter how time changes, this will not change. Mu Zhanxiao said with emotion.

Mu Lan smiled softly and said, “If he is good, the years will be fine.”. He can take good care of Aofeng and won’t let anyone bully him.

Mu Zhanxiao nodded.

The two men walked out of the Meridian Gate in tandem.

After walking out of the Meridian Gate, Mu Zhanxiao had already prepared the carriage.

Mu Lan’s body is getting worse day by day, the rout is too fast, so fast that Mu Zhanxiao was caught off guard.

Naturally, it is impossible for Mulan to ride a horse or walk.

He helped Mulan into the carriage and then rode away himself.

Mu Lan leaned on the soft collapse of the carriage, and did not speak, the feeling of exhaustion is obvious, her body is more and more defeated, even in an instant to destroy all, so fast that people were caught off guard.

Mu Lan is also powerless, obviously is a doctor, but is unable to give own treatment, can only so helplessly look at the body day by day the collapse to go down.

Even Mu Lan did not know when this life would be taken back by God.

Mu Lan also only, be taken back that day, can see Li Shiyu again, see Ao Feng, she does not have any regret, but this day, Mu Lan do not know when to wait.

Her silent sigh.

And the carriage went all the way.

……

Mu Zhanxiao did not take Mu Lan too far away, in Kyoto relatively remote but quiet place to find a courtyard, the courtyard is not big, Mu Lan a person living is enough, he gave Mu Lan to find a mute woman, can not speak, but do things neatly, you can rest assured.

Mu Lan is now in such a situation, can not be served by no one. The

courtyard is clean.

“Zhen Zhen, you live here, I will come to see you at any time.” Mu Zhanxiao explained carefully, and then brought the mute girl to Mu Lan. “Her name is Wanzhen. She is a mute girl. She can’t read or speak. You can rest assured that if you have something to do, you can tell her to do it.”. If anything happens, let me know immediately.

“Good.” Mu Lan answered with a smile, “I’m in trouble with my second brother.”

“I can’t show up here too often for fear of arousing suspicion, but I will certainly come here for some time.” Mu Zhanxiao went on to say, “If you have something to do, you can send me a letter from the flying pigeon. I’ll be at the Prince Mu’s mansion at night.”

“Good.” Mu Lan’s attitude is very calm.

Mu Zhanxiao looked at Mu Lan and finally sighed silently: “Zhen Zhen, take care, take good care of yourself, don’t have an accident, as you said, you want to see Ao Feng again, so no matter what, you have to protect yourself.”. I will do my best, too.

Mu Lan smiled at Mu Zhan Xiao.

Mu Zhanxiao this just didn’t say what, with Mu Lan in the small courtyard walked a circle, the small courtyard is not big, do not need to waste much stone city, then is Mu Lan urged Mu Zhanxiao, Mu Zhanxiao this just left.

After Mu Zhanxiao left, Mu Lan suddenly coughed, and then vomited out, is a burst of blood, people were caught off guard.

Wanzhen some were frightened, but the reaction is very quick, Mu Lan did not stop, Ren Wanzhen handled well, leaned on the bed to rest.

Mu Lan knew very well that her body was incurable.

At most, it’s just a continuation of life.

As for this life, when not, that depends on the meaning of God.

And want to continue life, need is rare medicinal materials can, and these medicinal materials, only in the palace, Mu Zhanxiao can take, it is impossible to take endlessly.

Mu Lan smiled bitterly, but the calmness in her face never changed, and she sat quietly at the head of the bed.

For a long time, Mu Lan no longer opened his mouth to say more.

……

Days pass day by day.

Mu Zhanxiao will appear in the courtyard every three or five times, although not frequently, but also to ensure a certain frequency, Mu Zhanxiao to come, there will always be only one person, Mu Lan knows that this is to protect their own safety.

And every time, Mu Zhanxiao will bring rare medicinal materials.

Those are for Mu Lan to renew his life, carefully explain Wanzhen boil, to watch Mu Lan eat.

But even so, every time Mu Zhanxiao came, he felt that Mu Lan’s face was more and more pale, and the whole person was much weaker, as if nothing could be saved, which also worried Mu Zhanxiao.

“Don’t worry about me.” When Mu Lan saw Mu Zhanxiao’s worry, he smiled. “I won’t be able to die in the next few years.”. It’s like the rapid collapse before, but now the situation has stabilized, neither good nor bad, and you have prepared so many rare medicinal materials for me, so it’s possible to renew my life.

Mu Lan said directly.

Mu Zhanxiao in Mu Lan’s words, also slightly relieved down.

“The emperor is still as usual. Early in the morning, he reads memorials to the throne, deals with political affairs, and almost never asks about other matters. Aofeng has gone very steadily, and the nurse is still with him. The emperor has never let any concubine take charge of Aofeng. Aofeng has a special person to take charge of it.”

Mu Zhanxiao changed the topic, said the matter in the palace, that is Mu Lan most concerned about the most concerned about the two people.

“Can Ao Feng speak?” Mu Lan asked.

“Yes, but not much.” Mu Zhanxiao went on to say, “But after you are gone, Aofeng doesn’t call her mother anymore. It seems to be much quieter, and it’s not the same as before. I think the child is the most knowledgeable and sensitive, probably because he feels something.”

This, listening to Mu Lan’s heart burst of pain, but also powerless.

“How is the emperor’s health?” Mu Lan asked again.

“When the emperor wakes up, there will be nothing serious. The imperial physician and Lord Yi will watch. There will be nothing unusual.” Mu Zhanxiao said directly, “It’s you, your situation that makes people worry.”

“I’m all right.” Mu Lan is light.

Two people are quiet, Mu Lan asked some trivial things again, Mu Zhanxiao answered truthfully, and did not conceal.

Mu Lan nodded, although can not see Li Shiyu and Ao Feng, but such words are enough to soothe Mu Lan’s heart, for Mu Lan, they are good, enough.

“During this time, the ministers are probably beginning to stir up trouble again.” Mu Zhanxiao suddenly spoke.

Mu Lan looked at Mu Zhanxiao.

“They are ready to let the emperor set up a concubine to continue their children.” Mu Zhanxiao calmly finished his words, but no one knows what the emperor thinks. The emperor did not refuse such words, but he never agreed to them.

Mu Lan didn’t answer.

But Mu Zhanxiao was quiet for a moment and looked at Mu Lan: “Now I hope the emperor can resume the draft.”

Mu Lan looked at Mu Zhanxiao, some unknown. Not because of jealousy, but simply do not understand the reason why Mu Zhanxiao suddenly said this.

Mu Zhanxiao did not hesitate, and quickly explained to Mu Lan: “Only the emperor’s talent show, I can openly create a new identity for you, let you return to the palace, and there are records, openly stay in the palace, but you are in the palace, then the next thing will be much easier to arrange.”

Mu Zhanxiao has Mu Zhanxiao’s consideration.

It’s the only way.

And the increase of palace maids can only be fair and aboveboard at this time of the year.

Otherwise, it was the request made by the concubines of each room, and the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs went to do it. In that case, Mu Zhanxiao can not bring people in, too easy to arouse suspicion.

After all, Mu Lan is to live in the palace, not temporary access, so can only find a fair and aboveboard identity, to avoid future trouble.

Mu Zhanxiao this, let Mu Lan did not open his mouth.

But Mu Lan knows very well that this is also a matter of time.

The country can not be without a monarch for a day, and the queen can not be suspended all the time.

This harem also can not be in the first three concubines, also can not be a son of Ao Feng, so, Mu Lan heart has been very clear.

“But the emperor doesn’t seem to mean that.” Mu Zhanxiao continued, “No matter what the minister said, the emperor did not respond, and the minister had no alternative. After all, they could not really force the emperor to do anything, so they could only wait.”

Mu Lan nodded. That’s the end of

this topic.

Mu Zhanxiao did not stay in the courtyard for a long time, they chatted for a while, Mu Zhanxiao had already left.

…… A year has

passed.

Mu Lan lived in the small courtyard for a year, this year, Mu Lan is almost the door does not go out two doors, never left the small courtyard, everything in the small courtyard is Wanzhen in the care, Mu Lan also rarely speak, go out Mu Zhan Xiao to come, Mu Lan will open his mouth to say a few words, most of the time, Mu Lan is quiet.

But Mu Lan can feel that her body looks stable because of these rare medicinal materials, but the body is still gradually collapsing, but the speed is much slower. When she gets up in the

morning, she will vomit blood.

Cough will also become frequent, especially when the weather changes, people are also extremely vulnerable to weakness and fatigue, a little carelessness, may also be unconscious, so Mulan himself is cautious.

But Mu Lan did not say much to avoid Mu Zhanxiao’s worries.

At the end of the year, Mu Zhanxiao told Mu Lan that Li Shiyu had set up a new imperial concubine, which was very similar to Mu Lan in both manner and appearance.

Mu Lan closed his eyes, just listened quietly, and said nothing more.

And it seems that a year after Mu Lan left, Li Shiyu set up a new imperial concubine, such news will come almost every three or five times.

But all the concubines have one thing in common, there are always similarities with Mu Lan.

But it has nothing to do with Mu Lan.

Correct to say, can be so aware of, only Rong Jiu, Mu Zhanxiao these follow Li Shiyu and Mu Lan all the way back, and too know Mu Lan’s every move, can easily see.

But the minister in the court will not have any awareness, just feel relieved and rest assured, at least Li Shiyu re-established the imperial concubine, will not intend to empty the entire harem, big week will not be only a prince of Aofeng.

But even so, this year, there is no news that any concubine is pregnant.

Mu Lan can not help but feel strange.

Mu Zhanxiao is not taboo these, will tell Mu Lan truthfully.

Mulan listened quietly and then asked, “Does the emperor still have no other children?”

“None.” Mu Zhanxiao said directly.

“Why?” Mu Lan asked, “Didn’t the emperor favor his concubine?”

“Yes.” Mu Zhanxiao was a little careful when he spoke. Seeing that Mu Lan’s face was calm, he went on to say, “It’s just that the emperor always asks Grandfather Cheng to send the soup to avoid the son. He makes it clear that he doesn’t want these concubines to be pregnant. It’s just that the soup to avoid the son is not fair and square. You know, if it’s fair and square, the princes will certainly not give up.”

“So?” Mu Lan is curious.

“This soup is usually put in ordinary meals and snacks, and sometimes it is sent in the name of a tonic soup.” Mu Zhanxiao explains, “Grandfather Cheng and a few people close to him knew about this, and no one else knew. Naturally, that’s why there hasn’t been any news of a concubine getting pregnant in the past year.”

Mu Lan was suddenly enlightened.

“The emperor has you in his heart, and the concubine is in order to stabilize the situation, but the closest position is also reserved for you. He never intends to give it to anyone, nor does he have any intention of setting up a queen. No matter how the minister urges this issue, the emperor chooses to ignore it.”

Mu Zhanxiao explained clearly.

Mu Lan hum, eyebrows and eyes with a faint smile.

It’s light and hard to see, but it’s real.

Mu Zhanxiao also did not say anything, quietly accompanied Mu Lan, until after lunch, Mu Zhanxiao did not leave the courtyard.

…… Another year has

passed.

This is the second year of Mu Lan in the small courtyard, Kyoto, Mu Lan has never asked, Wanzhen is a mute, will not open his mouth, can not read, so Mu Lan completely unknown, can know the news, are brought by Mu Zhanxiao. After

Mu Lan had breakfast, Mu Zhanxiao came in a hurry.

Mu Lan Leng, after all, in the past two years, Mu Zhanxiao rarely appeared here at this point in time, so Mu Lan was surprised.

“Second Brother, why are you here so early?” Mu Lan asked and walked up to him.

Mu Zhanxiao naturally supported Mu Lan and said, “I came here in the morning.”. You can go back to the palace.

“Are you serious?” Mu Lan is stupefied, some are surprised, also some are surprised.

Stay here for two years, Mu Lan has gradually lost confidence in returning to the palace, even if this life can not go back, Mu Lan also do not feel strange.

But now Mu Zhanxiao suddenly opened his mouth, how could Mu Lan not be surprised.

“The emperor has decreed today that a talent show will be held.” Mu Zhanxiao spoke directly, without ambiguity or embellishment. “The draft is just half a month away.”. Those ministers are very excited. The daughters of officials above the third rank in the country can enter the palace for the talent show. In this talent show, I will give you a good identity and let you enter the palace.

Mulan listened quietly.

“once you get to the palace, I’ll take care of everything. Of course you’ll stay here, and you won’t live in Palace of Gathered Elegance, but you’ll be a maid of Honor. I originally wanted you to go to the East Palace, but after you left, Linglong has been there all the time. I’m afraid Linglong will see the clue, so I can only arrange for you to be in the back kitchen first, and then change places when I have the chance.” Mu Zhanxiao said his arrangement again.

“Good.” Mu Lan doesn’t have any opinions.

To be able to return to the palace is a great surprise for Mu Lan.

It also means that after two years of absence, she can see Aofeng again. Aofeng is already three years old. He is no longer the little baby in Mu Lan’s memory, but also a big child. Can

also see Li Shiyu at close range, as long as Li Shiyu is good, then Mu Lan is also satisfied.

In the past two years, the people of Dazhou loved Li Shiyu very much. Li Shiyu restored Dazhou to its original prosperity. Li Shiyu was a wise king, and the position of emperor was born for Li Shiyu.

So it was meant to be.

You are the daughter of Xu Ming, the prefect of Liuzhou, Xu Zhenzhen. This daughter of Hsu Ming’s has passed away, so she won’t arouse any suspicion. Besides, Hsu Ming is not a person of high position and power. He is just the prefect of Liuzhou Prefecture, and no one will suspect him. If you don’t enter the palace as a concubine, naturally you won’t cause any trouble. Mu Zhanxiao explained.

Mulan listened carefully.

“Just remember who you are and don’t forget.” Mu Zhanxiao explained a sentence.

He is not worried about Mu Lan, the account of the account clearly, there will be no big deal.

“As for the emperor, he’s been in the palace for a long time. After Grandfather Cheng has chosen a man, it’s not impossible to go to the Imperial Dragon Hall. I’ll go and deal with him.” Mu Zhanxiao was quiet. Unexpectedly

, Mu Lan denied it: “It doesn’t matter. You don’t need to go to the Royal Dragon Hall. Just do it like this.”

Mu Lan is not so big measure, see Li Shiyu and other women kiss me, even if only normal needs, Mu Lan also do not want to see, so, Mu Lan will not go to the Royal Dragon Palace.

Mu Zhanxiao was quiet, but he also knew what Mu Lan was thinking. “I’ll arrange it,” he said. You are ready for half a month, and I will send someone to pick you up in half a month. It’s not convenient for me to come.

“Good.” Mu Lan answered.

After that, Mu Zhanxiao left.

Mu Lan personally sent Mu Zhanxiao to the door, Mu Zhanxiao stood at the door: “You go in, don’t come out, this weather, you don’t have to catch cold, it’s not good for your health.”. When the time comes, I will also tell the minions below to find a quiet place for you and not to be exposed to the wind.

Li Shiyu this year’s draft and big week before the fixed time are completely different, purely Li Shiyu was asked by those ministers tired, this just casually agreed.

The minister was afraid that Li Shiyu would go back on his word, so he held the draft as soon as possible.

This is not difficult for ministers, but also a taboo for those who want to enter the palace gate but can never enter, so the draft was set half a month later.

And now the season, or the big week of late winter, extremely cold, coupled with the early spring when the rain, the days will not be too good.

This year is a cold winter, and it is colder than any previous year.

Even the snow on the ground is much thicker than in previous years. Although

Mu Lan’s body is now in the maintenance of rare medicinal materials, but still worse day by day, especially into the cold winter, Mu Lan simply can not stand, almost to the edge of the heater, so cold into the palace, Mu Zhanxiao said not to worry, that is false, this will be carefully told.

And Mu Zhanxiao every time to Mu Lan here, are out of the palace, but also very low-key, did not take anyone, do not want to be found.

Always afraid of intentional people talk too much, bring trouble to Mu Lan.

Now the draft immediately, natural Mu Zhan Xiao also wants to avoid, not to mention, the matter in the palace is not few.

“Good.” Mu Lan answered lightly, coughing lightly, and another mouthful of blood.

Mu Zhanxiao twisted his eyebrows and said, “Didn’t this happen before?”

“Maybe the weather has changed too much these days, so that’s why it’s like this.” Mu Lan explained.

Mu Zhanxiao nodded, and then explained a few words, but did not say anything, and then, he did not stay, left in a hurry, Mu Lan stood in place, watching Mu Zhanxiao left, before quietly turned back to the house.

Wan Zhen followed up, carefully following the side of Mu Lan.

Two years together for two years, Wanzhen is also very familiar with Mu Lan, although Wanzhen can not speak, but is a close person, Mu Lan does not need to open his mouth, Wanzhen can quickly send what Mu Lan wants to Mu Lan.

Two people plus a few slaves, in this small courtyard, but also good.

It’s just going to be separated now.

Mu Lan lowered her eyebrows, looked at the footprints left in the snow, and finally said nothing. Soon, she returned to the house, and when she was by the stove, Mu Lan gradually came to her senses.

Two years-

she and Li Shiyu have been separated for two years.

She hasn’t seen Ao Feng for two years.

Although Mu Zhanxiao will tell Mu Lan about Aofeng every time, now three-year-old Aofeng has become more silent, not very talkative, obviously just a child, but more mature.

Although he was only three years old, Li Shiyu had given Aofeng countless lessons, and there was no more wanton laxity.

But Ao Feng didn’t refuse. The relationship between

father and son can not be said to be good, but also can not be said to be bad, at least in the palace, Aofeng is the only prince of Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu’s concern for Aofeng is absolute.

However, Mu Zhanxiao also told Mu Lan that in the past two years, Li Shiyu seldom went to see Aofeng, and only went to the East Palace for a period of time. Many people thought that Aofeng was out of favor, but Aofeng’s position stood firm.

Mu Lan was puzzled.

Mu Zhanxiao explained that because Aofeng’s eyes were too much like Mu Lan, Li Shiyu did not want to see Aofeng, and when he saw Aofeng, he would think of Mu Lan.

And the only time when father and son can appear together is the anniversary of Mu Lan’s death every year. On the anniversary of Mu Lan’s death, Li Shiyu will inevitably go with Ao Feng.

Besides, the number of times the father and son met was really very few.

Even if Li Shiyu went to the East Palace, in fact, it is only a distant look, and then will leave in a hurry, the matter of Aofeng is also the slaves and Taifu told Li Shiyu.

Such a situation, Mu Lan did not know what to say.

In the end, she could only sigh silently.

And this back to the palace, want to see Li Shiyu and Aofeng and how difficult, Mu Lan knows better than anyone, may also die of old age in the palace, she has no chance to see these two people again.

But if she doesn’t go back, she really won’t have a chance.

Shen Shen Mu Lan did not think any more, closed his eyes to sleep, so tired swept in, Mu Lan soon had fallen asleep.

Wanzhen put out the light and left quietly, without disturbing Mu Lan.

……

–

In the palace.

In order to draft things in full swing, you know, this is the first time after Li Shiyu ascended the throne nodded in agreement with the draft, naturally no one dares to neglect, this draft can not be sloppy.

And now the big week and Li Shiyu just ascended the throne when the big week is completely different, the treasury is full, the country is prosperous and the people are peaceful, naturally this draft is also very grand. But Li Shiyu showed a lack of interest in the matter and did not even want to attend the draft.

He looked at the memorial in the Imperial Study and ignored anything the minister said in his ear that had anything to do with the draft.

It was not until Cheng Dezhu came in that he said quickly, “Your Majesty, the prince has refused to eat again.”

“Then go hungry.” Li Shiyu’s face did not change color, and what he said was merciless.

Minister said, smart also dare not open his mouth, quickly find a reason to leave.

At first, when everyone saw Li Shiyu’s reaction, they all felt that Li Shiyu was no longer in favor of the prince, because Mu Lan was gone. As long as an imperial concubine gives birth to a prince, the position of the crown prince will probably not be preserved.

Even, some people have not moved to the head of the East Palace, feel that the prince is young and there is no mother as a backer, they feel much easier to bully.

Only in the end, these people who had entered the East Palace to bully Aofeng lost their black hats and lost their heads. After this time, no one dared to despise Aofeng. Everyone knew clearly that no matter what Li Shiyu’s attitude towards Aofeng was, Aofeng’s identity and status could never change.

The East Palace can only be the East Palace of Ao Feng alone, and no one should think about it.

And then none of this happened.

And those slaves of Mu Lan before his death, followed by Ao Feng, are loyal, that is to transfer all the good to Mu Lan to Ao Feng.

Now Cheng Te-chu listened to Li Shi-yu’s words and quieted down, but he was a little worried: “Your Majesty, this..”

“Do you have any questions?” Li Shiyu looked at him coldly. “If there’s a problem, wait for the prince to eat it. Otherwise, I’ll ask for you.”

In a word, let Cheng Dezhu shut up.

You know, Aofeng’s temper is stubborn, worse than anyone else, simply can not control, unless Li Shiyu personally came, otherwise, Aofeng is so hanging.

But at such a young age, how can you not eat so much.

If something goes wrong, the slaves of the East Palace will all be killed.

But now this situation-

in the end, Cheng Dezhu did not dare to say anything more, so he kept silent and stood quietly in place without saying a word.

……

In the evening, Li Shiyu finished reading all the memorials, and then Li Shiyu got up and went to the East Palace. Cheng Dezhu hurried to follow him. By the time

they arrived at the East Palace, Aofeng had not eaten breakfast or lunch, and the people in the East Palace were in a hurry.

When Linglong saw that Li Shiyu had arrived, she breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, “The maidservant has seen the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor.”

“Get up.” Li Shi-yu’s tone was the same as usual, except that when he mentioned Ao Feng, he said, “Where is the prince?”

“Your Majesty, the prince is in his bedroom. He hasn’t been out all day.” Linglong explained that the tension in her tone was obvious. The people of the

East Palace regard Ao Feng as a treasure, that is what Mu Lan left behind, and they will never let Ao Feng suffer the slightest harm.

“I will go and see.” Li Shi-yu spoke directly, and then told Linglong, “You go and get dinner ready.”

“Yes.” Linglong answered and left in a hurry.

Li Shiyu walked directly towards the bedroom.

Soon, in the bedroom, Li Shiyu saw Ao Feng sitting sulking by the window with his back to him, and his face sank.

“Prince, what’s wrong with you?” Li Shiyu’s tone was not very good, almost gloomy.

Ao Feng didn’t even turn his back and turned his back to Li Shiyu.

Li Shi-yu sneered, “You don’t even have decency anymore, do you?”

Ao Feng is not to speak, no matter how Li Shiyu speaks, Ao Feng does not open his mouth, just so back to, until Li Shiyu walked to the front of Ao Feng, Ao Feng is still a stubborn face. Ao Feng, who is more than

three years old, has grown much taller, and his chubby appearance has long disappeared. It is

almost the same mold as Li Shiyu.

But Aofeng, as Li Shiyu watched, growled, “What decency do you want? You don’t even want your mother’s concubine. You don’t have a mother’s concubine in your heart long ago. You’ve married so many concubines, and now you want a show. My son doesn’t want you either. My son only wants his mother’s concubine.”

Ao Feng red eyes, staring at Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu roared up.

In Aofeng’s view, Li Shiyu’s selection of imperial concubines and talent shows are nothing more than gradually forgetting Mu Lan and no longer remembering Mu Lan, which is unacceptable to Aofeng.

Even though Aofeng and Mulan get along with extreme time, but in the heart of Aofeng, Mulan’s position can not be replaced. In

the past few years, no one has come to the East Palace, nor has no one told Aofeng that he would call them his mother and concubine in the future, and Aofeng lost his temper on the spot.

These people think he’s just a little kid who doesn’t understand anything.

But Ao Feng’s intelligence is different from that of ordinary people, and there is nothing he doesn’t understand.

These people have been eyeing the back seat for a long time, and countless people have told Aofeng that the back seat will not always be empty, sooner or later someone will replace Mulan.

Ao Feng can’t accept it, and he doesn’t want to accept it.

“Unbridled.” Li Shiyu’s voice sank. “Who allowed you to act so recklessly?”. As a prince, don’t you have the decency of a prince? Don’t you know what to do and what not to do?

“Then I don’t want to be the crown prince. I only want my mother and concubine.” Ao Feng roared at Li Shiyu without any fear or compromise.

Li Shiyu’s eyebrows and eyes are slightly narrowed, more and more heavy, and more and more people feel that it is incomparable.

But Ao Feng is not afraid. The

father and son completely confronted each other, and neither of them let the other go.

Just when the atmosphere was tense, suddenly a man hurried in from outside the East Palace. When the people in the palace saw him, they breathed a sigh of relief and knelt down to pay their respects: “See the Empress Dowager.”

That’s Rong Fei.

Rong Fei was welcomed back to the palace by Li Shiyu a year ago.

Li Shiyu’s throne was stable, and he blamed Qu Huachang for the injustice that Rong Fei had suffered in those years. He explained that it was Li Changtian’s meaning that Rong Fei had survived.

Qu Huachang’s malignancy, the people in the palace who do not know, naturally in such circumstances, no one dares to doubt, not to mention, this also involves the first emperor.

Even the empress Dowager had no opinion, so Li Shiyu used the most beautiful way to let Rong Fei return to the palace and seal the empress Dowager. After

Mu Lan left, the only person who could talk about Li Shiyu was Rong Fei.

“Your Majesty, why should you frighten the prince?” Rong Fei loves Ao Feng.

When Aofeng saw Rong Fei, he stood stubbornly beside her and did not mean to compromise with Li Shiyu.

Rong Fei sighed.

This father and son’s temper is exactly the same, so really serious, who will not retreat, will only be more stubborn than one.

“Prince, would you like to go to dinner with Ai’s family first?” Rong Fei looked at the prince gently. “After dinner, we’ll talk about other things.”. Think about it, you’re going to be hungry, and when your mother finds out, she must be sad, too. You don’t want to make your mother sad, do you?

Rong Fei coaxed the prince, “Your mother’s greatest wish is that you can grow up safely.”. So Ai’s family will take you to dinner. Don’t be angry. Is it all right?

For Ao Feng, Rong Fei is the pain from the heart.

Not only because he is the child of Li Shiyu and Mu Lan, but also because Aofeng is helpless and pitiful now. In fact, isn’t Aofeng like Li Shiyu in those days? Without the mother, even if there is a crown prince?

There are always people who try their best to make Ao Feng follow them. But for these people, Ao Feng is just a tool, not sincere.

“Good.” When Ao Feng saw Concubine Rong, he looked even more aggrieved. “Grandmother, is it true that Concubine Rong won’t come back?”

“Look at the stars in the sky. Your mother has become a star, and she watches the wind from the sky.” Rong Fei explained patiently.

Ao Feng seems to understand: “I just want my mother.”

“Prince, you will meet your mother one day.” Rong Fei sighed.

She’s a witch. She’s supposed to see the world. But how can not calculate the matter of Mu Lan and Li Shiyu, after the death of Mu Lan, it seems that everything is calm, she tried her best, but can not calculate any news, which also makes Rong Fei extremely helpless.

But that is a kind of intuition, instinctive intuition, always feel that Li Shiyu and Mu Lan should not be so.

Since this should not be the case, what should we do?

Rong Fei can not explain how to come up, and finally can only sigh helplessly.

Ao Feng, on the other hand, listened to Yung Fei’s words and slightly twisted his eyebrows. “Really?”

“Mmm.” Rong Fei answered, “So you have to let yourself grow up, and you can’t let your mother worry, can you?”

“Good.” Only then did Ao Feng answer.

“Will the Ai family go to dinner with you?”

“Good.”

……

Rong Fei led Ao Feng away.

Li Shiyu stood there motionless. Then he looked at Cheng Dezhu and said, “Am I too fierce to the prince?”

“The emperor misses the empress. When he sees the little prince, it’s like thinking of the empress. The slave thinks, ‘Your Highness, the prince,’ is understandable.” Cheng Te-chu put it mildly, “But the empress has a soul in heaven, and I don’t think I’d want to see the emperor treat the crown prince like this.”

Li Shiyu didn’t say anything.

These words, only the people who have been following Li Shiyu dare to speak, the rest of the people simply dare not say a word. For fear of being implicated for no reason.

“Your Majesty, since the Empress Dowager is here, aren’t you going to dine with her?” Cheng Dezhu reminded him again. Only then did

Li Shiyu hum, and then strode toward the dining hall, followed by Cheng Dezhu, indicating that the slaves had enough bowls and chopsticks.

Rong Fei accompanied Aofeng to eat together, but did not say anything when he saw Li Shiyu. Soon, Li Shiyu also sat down. Aofeng turned around and ignored Li Shiyu. He only talked to Rong Fei all the way. Rong Fei had some helplessness, but did not say anything in the end.

Rong Fei and Li Shiyu had dinner with Aofeng in the East Palace. Rong Fei played with Aofeng for a while. Li Shiyu didn’t say anything and didn’t leave.

Until Aofeng was a little sleepy.

Rong Fei and Li Shiyu left the East Palace together.

After leaving the East Palace, Li Shiyu personally sent Rong Fei back to the Fengluan Palace.

At the gate of the palace, Concubine Rong stopped Li Shiyu and said, “Your Majesty.”

“Mother Concubine.” Li Shi-yu turned around and said, “What can I do for you?”

“You..” Rong Fei quieted down. “Ao Feng is a child. He has lost his mother since he was a child. Don’t be so harsh on Ao Feng. Besides, Lan Er doesn’t want to see it.”. Ai Jia knows what you’re thinking. Seeing Ao Feng is like seeing Lan’er, but Ao Feng is not Lan’er after all. You can’t be indifferent to Ao Feng because of this. The child has a heart, and Ao Feng will remember it.

Rong Fei sighed.

Who doesn’t know the tension between Aofeng and Li Shiyu.

They actually care about each other, but in a bad way.

“I know.” Li Shiyu answered lightly.

But this, Li Shiyu did not take it to heart, Rong Fei knew, but it was not good to persuade anything, and finally did not open his mouth again, standing quietly in place.

“That’s right.” Rong Fei suddenly looked at Li Shiyu.

“Mother, please speak.” Li Shiyu has always respected Rong Fei.

“About the draft..” Rong Fei also started a head.

Li Shi-yu put it directly: “It’s just a matter of responsibility and the situation. It has no other meaning.” When

Rong Fei heard this, she didn’t say anything in the end, but Li Shiyu went on to say, “If your mother is interested, she can go there in person.”

Rong Fei sighed and said nothing. Nor did

Li Shiyu stay much longer at the Feng-luan Palace: “Mother and concubine, you should rest early. The matter of Ao Feng has also worried you.”

“Good.” Rong Fei answered.

Then Li Shiyu turned and left. The night in the

palace is terribly quiet.

……

Time passed in a flash, and half a month passed in an instant.

Mu Zhanxiao had already arranged a good person, early in the morning to the small courtyard to pick up Mu Lan, here to the palace or take some time, Mu Lan is also ready, only with two or three simple change of clothes, and then with the carriage into the palace.

Mu Zhanxiao did not appear, but everything was arranged safely, never let Mu Lan suffer any grievance, nor let Mu Lan feel uncomfortable.

Mu Lan stood at the west gate, quiet, looking at the towering palace, her mouth slightly raised a smile, is really not seen for many years.

And when she first entered the palace, it was just like it is now.

It’s just that things have changed.

Mu Lan bowed his head, chuckled, and said nothing more.

Soon, a sharp voice came from the father-in-law in charge: “Xu Zhenzhen.”

Mu Lan came to his senses and answered.

Her identity now is no longer Mu Lan, but Xu Zhen, the daughter of Xu Ming, the prefect of Liuzhou. But Xu Zhen this name, Mu Lan is very clear, is oneself in the modern name, also is oneself.

After Mu Lan answered, the father-in-law looked over and said, “You come with me.”

“Yes.” Mu Lan answered.

Father-in-law saw Mu Lan, can not help but look at the next, but soon, father-in-law’s eyes look disdainful, probably did not expect Mu Lan will be such a beautiful person, how can such a beautiful person get a special account of the people above.

But this palace what should say what should not ask, father-in-law naturally clear, he will not say anything more, just according to the above orders, take good care of Mulan.

Mu Lan thanked him.

Although not in a single room, at least it was arranged in a less crowded place.

And Mu Lan looked around a circle of this year’s show girls, each charming as flowers, in such a crowd, she is more difficult than green leaves to attract attention, naturally no one will care about Mu Lan.

This is what Mulan wants.

She did not want to get involved in the dispute, she just wanted to see Li Shiyu and Aofeng, can see, as if also satisfied.

……

Draft days passed quickly, after Mu Lan entered the palace, there was really no one sad Mu Lan, even no one took Mu Lan seriously, even the daily training, also did not let Mu Lan go.

Mu Lan did not ask much.

But leave the small courtyard, so toss and turn, after all, still let Mu Lan some can not stand.

That kind of weak feeling is more and more obvious, Mu Lan is just holding on, as long as get through the draft, and those life-saving pills, Mu Lan with, but the dosage is also obviously more up.

Mu Lan sighed silently.

In a flash, a month passed, and finally ushered in the day of the draft.

Mu Lan, like these beautiful girls, stood in the crowd, quietly waiting for the arrival of the emperor, which was the first time these beautiful girls had seen Li Shiyu since they entered the palace.

And if you can’t be chosen, basically, you may die of old age in this palace, and never see the emperor again.

If you want to leave the palace, you have to wait until you can leave the palace.

But at that time, for the women of Dazhou, the best time has passed, there is no advantage at this age, it is impossible to marry, and the whole family has lost all the advantages, the results can be imagined.

It doesn’t do any good.

Therefore, many old palace maids or female officials would rather die in the palace than leave the imperial palace. Not really like, but helpless, or never have any chance to give her a choice.

Mu Lan is very quiet looking at the front of these women eager to try, her ordinary simply can not attract anyone’s attention.

She is also very low-key standing in the most corner position, not competing with these girls.

They did not have to wait long for the eunuch’s shrill voice to come: “The emperor has arrived.” All the people in the

hall knelt down and shouted in unison, “See the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!”

Li Shiyu’s attitude is undisciplined and lazy. He doesn’t seem to have much interest in such a talent show. He lifts his eyelids slightly and sits down with his sleeves brushed. Then these beautiful girls stand up.

The original lively picture suddenly became quiet.

It was a kind of unnatural tension, always expecting to be chosen, want to see Li Shiyu, but because of shyness, how dare not look at this person.

In such passivity, the girls were even more nervous. The

hall was silent. Compared

with the nervousness of these girls, Mu Lan always stood very calm.

She looked at Li Shiyu through the crowd.

In the past two years, Li Shiyu has not changed much. He is still handsome and tall, with sharp eyes. The imperial breath on his body is natural. Even if he sits lazily, it makes people panic.

Mu Lan has been a little incredulous until now, two years later they met again in such a picture.

Obviously close at hand, but can not talk, let alone have the love of that year.

Mu Lan bowed his head and smiled silently, with some self-mockery.

But the surface Mu Lan always quietly, and did not show their emotions, quietly standing.

But enters this imperial palace, also is only the beginning, next all, Mu Lan does not know how to evolve, also does not know how to develop.

Even in the imperial palace, she will never have a chance to get close to Li Shiyu, now Mu Lan, it is impossible for Li Shiyu to see more.

Mu Lan did not speak.

And Cheng Dezhu quickly read out the person Li Shiyu wanted to choose, Mu Lan listened quietly, his eyes inadvertently swept over the girls whose names were read, and the joy on their faces was obvious. The disappointment and nervousness of the girls

around who were not chosen were also obvious.

But soon Mu Lan found that the girls who were selected, more or less, had a similar feeling in Mu Lan’s face. But it is also very obvious that people can know that this is not Mu Lan.

After all, Mu Lan’s calmness is not learned by everyone.

So Li Shiyu has never forgotten himself, even if the imperial concubine, but also to remember themselves in mind?

But Cheng Dezhu chose the person, Li Shiyu did not even stay one more second, stood up and left quickly, Cheng Dezhu hurried to follow up. Naturally, the eunuchs and nuns here will arrange the

rest. The

chosen girls were assigned to separate palaces, those who were given the title of talented people were sent to the palace of talented people, and the rest were assigned separately.

Mulan is the last turn, in charge of the father-in-law came to Mulan, this just said: “Xu Zhen Zhen, you go to Imperial Kitchen.”

Mulan smiled gently. “Thank you, father-in-law.”

That attitude is neither humble nor pushy, nor any tension, calm and calm, can not help but let the father-in-law in charge of a look, this Mu Lan can not say the feeling, obviously ordinary, but when you really look at Mu Lan, you can not help but become nervous.

Will be led by the nose by Mu Lan.

And Mu Lan or Mu Zhanxiao personally confessed, so the father-in-law in charge naturally did not dare to neglect Mu Lan too much.

“If you’re in Imperial Kitchen, the people there will tell you what to do. If it’s all right, we’ll send someone to take you there.” The steward continued.

“There is a laborious father-in-law.” Mu Lan answered. The father-in-law

in charge did not say anything, and soon ordered the little eunuch to take Mu Lan over.

Mulan quietly followed the little eunuch in the Imperial Kitchen.

And she has lost sight of Li Shiyu’s figure, Li Shiyu has long disappeared from Mu Lan’s line of sight.

Mu Lan lowered his eyebrows and eyes and said nothing.

……

The little eunuch took Mulan to Imperial Kitchen, and then left, apparently Mu Zhanxiao are well managed, according to the level of Mulan, even in the Imperial Kitchen, is also living with the slaves below, but Mulan has a separate room, although not big, but it is also clean up. The things

used are not bad, this is not like the treatment of a palace maid, and even a lot of things, better than talented people in the palace of talented people.

Mu Lan took a look and said nothing.

And the people in charge of Imperial Kitchen are the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Even people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came in person, and when they saw Mu Lan, they had a good attitude: “Miss Hsu, Lord Mu has told you, so you don’t have to worry. No one in the Imperial Kitchen will tell you what to do. It’s just that when you need help, you can do it for me.”. After a period of time, I will arrange for a slave to follow you. If you have any needs, you can find this slave.

“Thank you, Your Excellency.” Mu Lan nodded politely.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs was quiet, took a look at Mu Lan, and finally did not say anything.

He and the former draft steward father-in-law had an idea that Mu Lan’s calmness could not be achieved overnight, but there was nothing wrong with it, so he could only choose to ignore it in the end.

Most importantly, the backer behind Mu Lan can’t afford to offend.

Now Mu Zhanxiao, although still the commander of the guards, but the people in the palace are very clear, Mu Zhanxiao one person under ten thousand people above, in some cases, Mu Zhanxiao is the person who can change Li Shiyu’s idea.

Therefore, in the face of Mu Lan, they are naturally polite. After

careful explanation, the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs left in a hurry.

Mu Lan is quietly looking at the room, and then looking at the palace, for a long time, Mu Lan very light smile.

She’s back.

Shiyu, Aofeng, she’s back.

It’s just that the Iraqis aren’t there, and they don’t recognize themselves.

But Mu Lan also did not have any sorrow, at least such a situation, for Mu Lan is the best thing, the distance is close, want to see Ao Feng always has a way, these things, Mu Zhanxiao will also arrange.

Think of these, Mu Lan is relieved.

……

After Mulan entered Imperial Kitchen, as expected, as the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs said, no one in Imperial Kitchen dared to point fingers at Mulan, and the work for Mulan was very simple, and it would not make Mulan too tired, but no one talked about the identity of Mulan.

In addition, Mulan itself is very easy to get along with, not spoiled and arrogant, but can help things will try to do, and the original Mulan smooth, so Mulan in the Imperial Kitchen is very popular. People

Imperial Kitchen also take care of Mulan.

Even when the chef was cooking, he would leave a separate portion for Mu Lan.

Everyone knows that Mu Lan is not in good health.

Mulan’s life in the Imperial Kitchen is very good. During

this period, Mu Zhanxiao came several times to visit Mu Lan, still brought a lot of rare medicinal materials to Mu Lan, these medicinal materials are used to support Mu Lan’s body, otherwise, Mu Lan’s body will collapse faster.

“Thank you, second brother.” Mu Lan looked at the rare grass brought by Mu Zhanxiao and thanked him in a low voice.

“You’re welcome.” Mu Zhanxiao is direct. “You are wronged here. I’m thinking of finding an opportunity for you to go to the East Palace to meet Ao Feng.” The food in the

East Palace was also sent Imperial Kitchen.

Find an opportunity to arrange for Mu Lan to deliver meals in the past, the probability is that Nenggang saw Ao Feng.

“I’ll go to the East Palace. You bring the food, and I’ll bring Ao Feng out.” Mu Zhan Xiao said directly, but also arranged safely, “when the time comes, the people here in Imperial Kitchen will inform you.”

“Good.” Mu Lan smiled.

She has been in the palace for two months, just as Mu Lan knew at the beginning of entering the palace, this imperial palace is so big that no one can see Mu Lan in Imperial Kitchen.

And Mu Zhanxiao can not arrange anything at the beginning, Mu Zhanxiao has always been a very cautious person, too hasty, easy to arouse the suspicion of others.

“That’s right.” Mu Zhanxiao suddenly opened his mouth, “I arranged a slave for you, she is also working in the Imperial Kitchen, but to take care of you, you have something to tell her directly on the line.”. This is one of our own. You don’t have to worry.

“Thank you.” “Actually, the people in Imperial Kitchen are all nice to me,” laughs Mulan. “I don’t have to arrange anything.”

“I’m not at ease.” Mu Zhanxiao spoke directly.

Mu Lan also did not say anything, as Mu Zhanxiao arrangement, because Mu Lan is very clear, Mu Zhanxiao arrangement, is bound to be everything.

Two people talked for a while, Mu Zhanxiao still has official business in the body, naturally also impossible to stay here more in Mu Lan, soon hurriedly turned around to leave.

…… A few more days

passed.

But Mulan did not expect that she had not had time to see Ao Feng, Imperial Kitchen something had happened here, usually a friendly atmosphere, but now it seems tense and gloomy.

This quieted Mulan, who asked carefully, “Is something wrong?”

“Zhen Zhen, you are late, so you are not clear.” Mammy Chiu is an old woman in Imperial Kitchen, and she knows everything here very well. “Since the empress passed away–”

said Mammy Chiu in a very low voice.

Mu Lan’s heart jumped, and when he heard his name, Mu Lan subconsciously thought that it had something to do with the emperor.

“Your Majesty, your temper is getting worse and worse. Although he doesn’t punish his slaves at will, he is picky about food for no reason. No matter what the chef does, the emperor can find faults. He has tried all kinds of dishes in the world, and the emperor is not satisfied.”

“But not all the time. Occasionally the emperor likes some of them.”

“Mammy, has the emperor been so picky about his meals in the last two years?” Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows.

“Yes.” Mammy Qiu nodded. “That’s how picky they are. The slaves can’t do anything about it, but they still have to do it.”. You see, the emperor didn’t eat any of the food he sent today. How can that be? So the people at the top ordered that if the emperor didn’t like it any more, the chef would lose his head. As

she spoke, Mammy Qiu sighed.

Li Shiyu does not speak, does not mean that other people will not open their mouths, the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are naturally frightened, afraid that this charge will one day bear on their own body, will naturally get angry at the people Imperial Kitchen.

“Even the chef was too scared to understand the emperor’s thoughts.” Mammy Qiu shook her head.

Mu Lan’s eyebrows twisted up.

You know, Mu Lan for Li Shiyu’s memory, this person is actually not too picky about food, even if he ascended the throne, she was in the palace during that time, this person is not picky. When

they were together outside the Great Wall, most of the time it was Mu Lan who personally ordered Li Shiyu’s food.

Do you think Mulan’s cooking is very good?

Not really, but it’s just some ordinary dishes.

If you want to compare with the imperial chef, there is no comparison at all.

So, what is Li Shiyu picking on?

“Mammy.” Mu Lan looked at Mammy Qiu. When Mammy

Qiu was about to leave, she heard Mu Lan calling to her. She stood down and said, “What’s the matter?”

“I wonder if I could try it sometime.” Mu Lan quietly put forward his own request.

“Zhen, what are you going to try?” “You’re not in good health, so don’t try anything. Just help out here once in a while.”

I want to try and prepare lunch for the emperor. See if the emperor likes it. If it were possible, then the chef would not have to be driven out, and the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs would not be looking for Imperial Kitchen trouble. Mu Lan said what he thought.

Qiu Mammy looked at Mu Lan incredibly: “Zhen Zhen, this is not a joke.”. If you are not careful, you will lose your head.

The imperial chef has been in the palace for a long time, and the skill of the imperial chef is not hard to eat.

If you change people without authorization and something happens, you may not be able to implicate people Imperial Kitchen.

“No.” Mu Lan is very calm, “I promise, there won’t be any accidents.”. If there is an accident, I will bear all the responsibilities alone, and no one in the Imperial Kitchen will be implicated.

Mu Lan said directly. If

this is said by others, it makes people feel sniffy, but when it is said by Mulan, it is inexplicably convincing. Can not

say why, it is a feeling of conviction, will never have any objection to Mu Lan’s words and ideas.

Mingming Mulan’s identity is just a slave of the Imperial Kitchen.

Besides, isn’t there nothing we can do now? If you don’t make a meal that the emperor is satisfied with, then the chef will be replaced, and the people Imperial Kitchen will also be implicated. “It’s nothing more than treating a dead horse as if it were alive,” says Mu Lan calmly.

This made Mammy Qiu unable to refute it.

She nodded. “Okay, I’ll talk to the chef. If you can, you can go. If you need anyone, you can tell me. I’ll arrange it.”

“Good.” Mu Lan smiled faintly.

Soon, Qiu Mammy walked toward the Imperial Kitchen, Mu Lan bowed his head and coughed a few times, then followed Qiu Mammy to the past.

And Mu Lan did not wait long, autumn Mammy has come out from the Imperial Kitchen, as Mu Lan said, now everything is just Sima as a living horse doctor.

You go in. The chef agreed. Imperial Kitchen that they are at your service. Said Mammy Qiu and Mu Lan.

Mulan nodded, and then calmly walked toward the Imperial Kitchen.

Autumn Mammy did not follow in again, just looked at Mu Lan like this, and finally did not say anything.

…… Within

Imperial Kitchen. When

Mu Lan came in, the chef was still burning. When he saw Mu Lan, he immediately asked, “Zhen Zhen, do you really have a plan?”

“I’ll try.” Mu Lan did not boast, “It should be possible.”

Good. The people here are at your disposal. The chef said directly, “But, you know, once something goes wrong, it’s a matter of people’s heads falling.”

“I know.” Mu Lan answered, “Please rest assured that nothing will happen.”

The chef did not speak and stood quietly aside.

Mulan is just a palace maid, but the words they say make them firmly believe that they can not say the feeling, and eventually the people in the Imperial Kitchen remain quiet.

Only the gentle voice of Mulan came, directing the slaves in the Imperial Kitchen to do things.

And the cooking was all done by Mu Lan himself.

The imperial chef could not help but take a look, are some very common and very simple color, usually they will never take such dishes to the emperor, and now Mu Lan to do so. It’s a lie

to say you’re not worried.

But looking at the calm on Mu Lan’s face, it seems that he will not be so worried, because Mu Lan’s eyes with self-confidence, calm and calm, is all of them can not learn, it is like cooking for Li Shiyu, Mu Lan is doing thousands of times.

Mulan knew the idea of Imperial Kitchen person, but Mulan did not expose it.

These dishes are plain, but they are all made by Mu Lan himself. It was also done by Mu Lan for Li Shiyu when he was outside the Great Wall.

Mu Lan can not say why, always feel that Li Shiyu is looking for memories. Looking for memories

in a variety of ways.

Even this dish is the same.

Delicacies may not satisfy Li Shiyu, but these home-cooked dishes may be enough.

Mu Lan only made a simple four dishes and one soup, while the imperial chef looked at it, twisting his eyebrows and looking at it: “Zhen Zhen, this..”

“Try it first.” Mulan spoke quietly, “If the emperor blames me, I will bear all the responsibility alone.”

Mu Lan said here, the imperial chef naturally can not say anything.

He nodded. “Well, I’ll send the slave to the emperor.”

Mu Lan hum.

She didn’t offer it, not because she didn’t want to, but because it was inappropriate. She is very clear when to do what, she is already in the palace, everything is not too hasty, to avoid causing any trouble.

Mu Lan takes a deep breath.

And the slave of the Imperial Kitchen also quickly sent the meal to Li Shiyu. When

Cheng Te-chu took it, he tried the poison, looked at the dish on the tray, and wrung his eyebrows: “Is that it?”

“Yes.” The slave answered, “The chef asked the slave to send it.”

Cheng Dezhu’s brows did not stretch out.

These ingredients are very common, but definitely not what Li Shiyu would eat on weekdays. He thought that the imperial chef would come up with new tricks. He also knew that Li Shiyu was becoming more and more picky recently, but he didn’t expect that the imperial chef would send such things.

This makes Cheng Dezhu extremely incomprehensible.

But this is a matter of Imperial Kitchen, Cheng Dezhu is not good to say anything, soon, he let the slave set the lunch, and then personally went to invite Li Shiyu. When

Li Shiyu came, he saw the dishes on the table and twisted his eyebrows.

This simple action, let Cheng Dezhu’s facial expression frighten not light, always feel Li Shiyu is angry.

As a result, Li Shiyu exhaled everyone’s expectations, walked toward the table without saying a word, then sat down, picked up chopsticks, and ate quietly.

Cheng Dezhu was a little dumbfounded.

Li Shiyu did not speak all the way, but quietly ate all the things he had sent this time. There

‘s nothing left.

It felt like I hadn’t eaten something so good in a long time.

Cheng Te-chu quieted down. “Your Majesty, are you satisfied with your lunch today?”

“Who did it?” Li Shiyu asked directly.

Your Majesty, this must be someone from the Imperial Kitchen. I’ll ask you, slave. Cheng Te-chu immediately replied, “If you like it, you can also be promoted.”

Li Shiyu likes it, and if he likes it, he can avoid a lot of trouble, and everyone’s life is better.

So who cooked the meal must be rewarded.

“Reward.” Li Shiyu said lightly.

“Yes, the slave obeys.” Cheng Dezhu answered.

Soon, Cheng Dezhu retreated, and Li Shiyu looked at the food in front of him, the familiar feeling came, although simple, but it was the taste of Mulan.

Li Shiyu in the Imperial Kitchen of the meal, but also to find the taste of Mulan.

But now someone has done it, or so familiar, Li Shiyu can not be dissatisfied, but Li Shiyu’s heart also suddenly raised a trace of curiosity.

But only for a moment, such curiosity was suppressed.

Because Li Shiyu knew very well that Mu Lan was dead, and how could the dead come back to life.

Just such a sense of familiarity, so that Li Shiyu’s heart is always hanging, how can not put down.

…… Within

Imperial Kitchen.

Before the tense mood, in Cheng Dezhu’s words, all the people were relieved, Mu Lan was naturally listed as the great hero of the Imperial Kitchen. Without Mu Lan, this matter would not be so easy to go down.

“Zhen Zhen, I really look down on you. I didn’t expect the emperor to like this.” The chef breathed a sigh of relief. “You saved the whole Imperial Kitchen. You know, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. If you’re not careful, your head will fall.” “I’m not good at cooking,”

said Mulan with a faint smile. “It’s just some ordinary dishes.”

“If the emperor likes it, that’s good.” The imperial chef is direct. “In the future, you will be responsible for the emperor’s three meals, and the slaves here will help you.”. As long as you don’t tire yourself out.

Mu Lan quieted down and finally agreed to come down.

See Mu Lan promised, the heart that the person of Imperial Kitchen hangs relaxed come down.

But Mulan also said in the first place: “If one day the emperor doesn’t like it, then I can’t do anything about it. After all, I’m not very good at it.”

“Then we’ll work it out together.” The imperial chef said helplessly. Really

can only be like this, Li Shiyu’s mind no one can touch, at least this time Mu Lan sent things, they do not have any hope, the results of Li Shiyu is unusually like, so can only take one step at a time.

In such words, Mu Lan nodded, but did not say anything more.

And Li Shiyu’s meal was handed over to Mu Lan.

Mulan can send anyone Imperial Kitchen, but most of the time, Mulan is also hands-on, and did not let the slaves of the Imperial Kitchen follow him round and round.

As a result, Mu Lan’s health is getting worse and worse.

With her illness, she can’t be busy at all.

On the way out of the Imperial Kitchen and back to his house, Mulan had coughed countless times, and when he reached the door of the house, Mulan’s handkerchief was completely red.

“What’s the matter with you?” Mu Zhanxiao’s voice came quickly, the figure also appeared in front of Mu Lan, “I am not explained, how dare the people of this Imperial Kitchen let you do things, I go to find someone.”

Mu Zhanxiao looked at Mu Lan nervously.

You know, for more than two years, Mu Zhanxiao has been following Mu Lan, such a situation only occasionally, but will soon be controlled, into the palace, the people in the palace in Mu Zhanxiao’s view, is absolutely dare not take Mu Lan how.

And now, as he

thought about it, Mu’s face darkened: “I’m going to pass on the imperial physician first.”

“Second Brother.” Mu Lan pulled Mu Zhanxiao.

Mu Zhanxiao was forced to stop, but his face did not improve.

“I’ll take care of it myself. Don’t get anyone to come over, so as not to cause trouble.” Mulan said directly, “the people in Imperial Kitchen didn’t send me. I took the job myself.”

“What do you mean?” Mu Zhanxiao looked at Mu Lan. Only then did

Mu Lan lightly open his mouth to explain: “the emperor has not been very satisfied with the food cooked in Imperial Kitchen recently, and the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have blamed Imperial Kitchen, so I thought I would personally cook some home-style dishes for the emperor. In fact, everyone just tried it, but unexpectedly, the emperor liked it.”. So now I am in charge of the emperor’s meals.

Mu Lan explained the cause and process clearly.

Mu Zhanxiao followed Li Shiyu for so many years, naturally it is also very clear that after Mu Lan left Li Shiyu’s temper is somewhat strange, as if in the time of Na Fei, there will inevitably be similar places with Mu Lan, this Imperial Kitchen thing, is not overnight, but did not expect, now is such a situation.

“Do the minions of the Imperial Kitchen let you do it alone?” Mu Zhanxiao’s eyebrows were still twisted.

“Of course not.” “It’s just that I’m used to it. I do things for the emperor myself.”

“You are like this..”

“I’ll get it under control.”

……

See Mu Lan insisted, finally Mu Zhanxiao did not say anything, but the furrowed brows are not stretched, Mu Lan’s situation, Mu Zhanxiao is too clear, and to make meals for Li Shiyu, although it does not seem to be a hard thing, but he is very clear, for a long time, Mu Lan can not bear, sooner or later there will be an accident.

“By the way, second brother, you came all the way here today. Is it something you want to see me about?” Mulan quickly changed the subject.

“Yes.” Only then did Mu Zhanxiao remember his purpose of coming here. “I’ve arranged it well. Later, you’ll personally deliver Aofeng’s snacks. I’ll bring Aofeng out, and you’ll be able to see Aofeng.”

“Really?” Mulan’s eyes lit up.

“Yes.” Mu Zhanxiao knows that Mu Lan misses him.

But how big the imperial palace is, the people in the imperial palace are not what Mu Lan wants to see.

Especially Li Shiyu and Aofeng such identity, Mu Lan simply can not contact, so only Mu Zhanxiao arrangements.

“Thank you, second brother.” Mu Lan thanked him.

Mu Zhanxiao smiled, “You’re welcome. This is what I should do.”. You get ready first, and I’ll come back to take you. I’ll go back first.

“Good.” Mu Lan also did not stop Mu Zhanxiao.

Soon, Mu Zhanxiao turned and left.

Mu Lan’s heart is still excited, she looked at the bronze mirror of their own, compared with the initial beauty, now Mu Lan has long been not the original appearance.

Even the name has been changed.

Ao Feng saw that he certainly did not know, but just as well, as long as she remembered Ao Feng, she also secretly looked at Ao Feng, Ao Feng can be good, for Mu Lan, is the greatest luck, she has nothing to ask for. In

such an idea, Mu Lan sighed silently.

……

About half an hour later, Aofeng’s snacks were ready, and a slave from the Imperial Kitchen ran over: “Zhen Zhen, you send the snacks to the East Palace.”

“Good.” Mu Lan answered.

The slave quickly turned and walked away without saying anything.

Mulan hurried into the Imperial Kitchen, took the snacks that Aofeng wanted with him, and then turned around and walked in the direction of the East Palace.

Mu Lan walked slower than ordinary people, and it took him a little time to get to the East Palace.

Just arrived at the East Palace, Mu Lan heard the voice of Ao Feng and Mu Zhanxiao.

“Uncle, do you think your mother will come back?” Ao Feng’s voice was a little aggrieved, looking at Mu Zhanxiao.

Mu Zhanxiao has already picked up Ao Feng: “Yes.”. The Empress will certainly come back one day.

“Really?” Ao Feng’s eyes blinked. “That would be great. I really miss my mother very much.”

“Everyone misses the empress very much.” Mu Zhanxiao opened his mouth lightly.

Ao Feng hum, mouth flat, as if to mention Mu Lan, will make Ao Feng feel particularly aggrieved, even if she is not short of anything in the palace, even if the people in the palace can take good care of Ao Feng, but will still feel aggrieved.

He just wants Mulan.

“Your Highness, dim sum is here. I will take you to eat dim sum.” Mu Zhanxiao heard the noise, this just calm opening, and ordinary no doubt.

“All right.” Ao Feng did not say anything, still aggrieved appearance, small hand holding Mu Zhanxiao.

Then the two men walked towards the pavilion. Not everyone can come to the

East Palace, and Mu Zhanxiao and Long Shaoyun these people are an exception, the rest of the people want to come to the East Palace, it is bound to get Li Shiyu’s permission, otherwise, kill without mercy, if Aofeng do not want to see people, then also can not enter the East Palace.

And Mu Lan looked at Mu Zhanxiao with Ao Feng walked away, the little man who was still in his arms at the beginning, now has grown a lot, the handsome in the eyebrows and eyes is more and more obvious, looks like a mature little adult.

Mu Lan’s eyes were slightly red. The hand

holding the tray trembled.

“Are you a minion of the Imperial Kitchen?” “I’ve never seen you before,” said the exquisite voice.

Tell my aunt that I entered the Imperial Kitchen after the draft. It happened that the man who had been in charge was not available today, so he asked the slave to bring the prince’s snacks. Mu Lan answered with ease.

Linglong hum sound, but also did not think much, but could not help but look at Mu Lan.

Too calm.

This kind of calm is not forced, but natural.

This is a familiar feeling for Linglong, but looking at this face, Linglong can not find any familiar feeling.

“All right, go back.” Linglong said.

“Yes.” Mu Lan answered.

But Mu Lan’s speed is very slow, and Mu Zhanxiao has also taken the Aofeng to the pavilion, Aofeng is in front of Mu Lan, almost close to the delay, Mu Lan’s eyes are getting more and more red, the kind of forbearance seems to be some can not hide.

Mu Zhanxiao noticed, he looked at Mu Lan, as if to remind Mu Lan.

But instead of urging Mu Lan, Mu Zhanxiao said to Aofeng, “Try it.”

Aofeng nodded, after Linglong wiped Aofeng’s hands, Aofeng had already picked up the snack and ate it, after all, it was a child, and there was no resistance at all in front of the food.

Mu Lan did not speak, just want to look like this. “Why haven’t you left yet?

” Linglong asked strangely.

Mu Lan came to her senses and said, “The maidservant has never seen the prince. She was attracted by the prince’s loveliness, so she forgot it for a moment.”

That’s not surprising.

Ao Feng is good-looking, many people will feel like it when they see Ao Feng, so listen to Mu Lan’s words, but also did not say anything.

Mu Zhanxiao also looked at Mu Lan and motioned with his eyes for Mu Lan to leave first.

Mu Lan nodded, this time is to turn around and leave, did not dare to look at Ao Feng.

But Mu Lan knows, as if after seeing the proud wind, that kind of reluctance becomes more and more obvious, the heart is greedy, in this case, what is not open.

Mu Lan sighed silently, and the slender figure soon left in a hurry.

And Ao Feng is still seriously eating snacks, completely did not expect the sudden appearance of this general appearance of the slave, unexpectedly is his mother and concubine.

Occasionally, Ao Feng would look up and chat with Mu Zhanxiao, but he was in a good mood.

……

Mu Lan walked all the way out, but her eyes were swollen with soreness, as if she couldn’t help it. It wasn’t until Mu Lan ran into someone that she panicked and knelt down: “Please ask your excellency to atone for your sins. The slave didn’t do it on purpose.”

“Get up.” Long Shaoyun didn’t mind the deep and warm voice.

Mu Lan heard this voice, slightly stupefied, and then subconsciously looked at Long Shaoyun, determined to be Long Shaoyun, Mu Lan is also filled with emotion.

Long Shao-yun also glanced at Mu Lan, but his eyes were not too loud, and his voice was much colder: “You are not a slave of the East Palace.”

“The maidservants are from Imperial Kitchen, and they bring snacks to the prince.” Mu Lan explained.

Long Shaoyun nodded and said nothing.

Mu Lan also dare not stay again, for fear of being discovered, soon left in a hurry, Long Shaoyun stood in place, looking at Mu Lan’s figure, slightly twisted eyebrows, but did not open his mouth to say anything.

It was a sense of familiarity, an indescribable sense of familiarity, but soon, Long Shaoyun felt strange again.

Mu Lan’s heartbeat is very fast, the palms are sweaty, that is a kind of indescribable tension.

It was not until Mu Lan walked out of the East Palace that he really breathed a sigh of relief.

But this gas also did not go down smoothly, Mu Lan looked up again, saw the figure of not far away, that is Li Shiyu.

Mu Lan did not open his mouth to say anything, nor did he take the initiative to come forward, but instead hid in a dark place, not to be seen by Li Shiyu.

But Mu Lan’s position, but can clearly see Li Shiyu toward the East Palace. Followed by

Rong Jiu and Cheng Dezhu.

Mu Lan looked at this person handsome figure, eyebrows and eyes with a faint smile, at least Li Shiyu safe and sound, then her pay is enough.

Mulan lowered his eyebrows and eyes, and after Li Shiyu passed in front of him, Mulan turned and walked in the Imperial Kitchen.

Instead, Li Shiyu’s eyebrows twisted and his footsteps stopped.

Rong Jiu immediately became nervous. “Your Majesty, is there anything wrong?”? His subordinates immediately went to check.

“Not really.” Li Shiyu opened his mouth lightly and had already collected his emotions.

That kind of staring at their own hot eyes, as if in an instant disappeared without a trace.

Li Shiyu can not say, he looked behind him, but has not found any trace, is it an illusion? He slightly twisted his eyebrows, and finally did not say anything, with people quickly toward the East Palace.

……

Mu Lan came back from the East Palace, almost spent all her strength, she vomited a big mouthful of blood, such a toss back and forth, almost to the life of Mu Lan.

She lay on the couch and spent a long time trying to recover from the situation.

It seems that the body is getting worse and worse, and I don’t know how long I can hold on.

When Mingming made a deal with the God of Montenegro, he only said that his body had collapsed, not that he had died, but now Mulan understands that if you make a deal with the God of Montenegro, you will only suffer more than if you die.

She bowed her head and laughed at herself.

But Mu Lan has never regretted what he did in those years.

She closed her eyes and still gasped.

Mu Lan did not know how long she could hold on to such a body. Sure enough, what the ancestors said is right, everyone in the world is with desire and greed. At first,

she just wanted Li Shiyu to survive.

And now, I want more.

I just don’t know if God will give me such a chance.

In such a trance, Mu Lan half fainted and half asleep awake, as if completely unresponsive.

…… The

days go by.

Mulan in charge of Li Shiyu’s three meals a day is not overnight, as if from Mulan in charge of Li Shiyu’s three meals a day, the Royal Dragon Palace has no opinion

on the diet, Mulan has turned over all the things Li Shiyu likes to eat, and even racked his brains to develop new things. Or when the chef has a good idea, Mu Lan will do it in his own way.

It seems that as long as it is in the hands of Mu Lan, Li Shiyu has no opinion, and every time he will eat clean.

Mulan became the object of praise in the Imperial Kitchen.

At least the emergence of Mulan has avoided the disaster of Imperial Kitchen.

Under such circumstances, Mulan is almost a lucky star, people Imperial Kitchen were originally good to Mulan, but also rarely chat with Mulan, now almost everyone sees Mulan, can not help but come to talk a few words.

Mu Lan is good-tempered to accept, and did not refuse.

This makes people in the Imperial Kitchen like Mulan even more.

“Zhen Zhen! Zhen Zhen!” Suddenly, the hurried voice of Mammy Qiu came from outside the house.

Mulan was stunned and hurriedly opened the door for Qiu Mammy. Qiu Mammy’s figure appeared in front of Mulan. Before Mulan could speak, she quickly said, “You’re going to reach the sky in one step.”

Mu Lan’s face is inexplicable.

“The emperor has come.” “The emperor wants to see you, and the emperor himself has come to Imperial Kitchen to find the person who recently cooked his meal.” When

the emperor personally came to Imperial Kitchen, never something, and now come, or for Mulan, this in the eyes of people in Imperial Kitchen, Mulan is to step into the sky.

If you can be favored by the emperor and become a personal maid of honor, that’s also good. That is a female official in the palace, and we are not the same as the slaves in Imperial Kitchen. You have to make good use of it. Qiu Mammy kept reminding Mu Lan.

But Mu Lan was stunned for a moment, completely did not expect Li Shiyu to come in person.

She looked at herself in the bronze mirror again subconsciously. Is

still that ordinary face, even if the hard look, will not remember that kind of, this palace maid, but than a face are much better.

Mu Lan’s excitement suddenly dimmed down again, that eye light with a trace of helplessness.

“Zhen Zhen, what are you waiting for? Go quickly. You know it’s not good for the emperor to wait.” Qiu Mammy thought that Mu Lan was nervous and hurriedly urged her.

Mulan murmured and said, “Mother Qiu, let’s go out.”

“Okay.” Mammy Qiu answered.

Soon, Qiu Mammy walked ahead, Mu Lan followed behind Qiu Mammy, and the two hurried toward the Imperial Kitchen.

Mu Lan did not understand why Li Shiyu came in person, even if he wanted to see himself, he could also let someone pass him on, without the need for this person to come in person.

Such a feeling, let Mu Lan suddenly nervous, afraid Li Shiyu know what.

But this tension soon hid well, and Mu Lan became calm again.

Soon, Mulan appeared outside the Imperial Kitchen.

The familiar faces were all standing outside, and when they saw Mulan coming, everyone was motioning Mulan with their eyes.

Mu Lan calmed down, nodded his head, and then walked toward the Imperial Kitchen.

As soon as she entered the Imperial Kitchen, Mu Lan saw Li Shiyu’s brocade boots in her low eyes. She knelt down and paid her respects: “see the emperor! Long live the emperor!”

But Mu Lan did not look up, still kneeling, head down.

“Keep your head up.” Li Shiyu’s voice came indifferently. Only then did

Mu Lan look up.

Then, Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu. Compared

with the day of the draft, it is only now that I have come into close contact with Li Shiyu. It is also the first time that I have been so close to here after more than two years of absence.

Mu Lan’s heartbeat is very fast, but any of her emotions can not be revealed in front of Li Shiyu, still can only stand calmly and incomparably, neither humble nor arrogant watching.

Their status is not equal now.

“Do you cook my three meals a day?” Li Shiyu’s voice came indifferently, but his eyes looked at Mu Lan for a moment.

But also for a moment, Li Shiyu had already withdrawn his eyes.

Too long.

This period of time to the meal is Li Shiyu again familiar with the taste, that is Mu Lan’s craft, at first Li Shiyu only thought is Imperial Kitchen person’s heart, but a long time found wrong.

No matter how hard you try, you can’t remember all the habits of Mu Lan. These must be people who have lived with Mu Lan for a long time.

But Li Shiyu inquired about Linglong, and the people Imperial Kitchen did not look for Linglong.

So who can cook the dishes exactly like Mulan?

This let Li Shiyu with a trace of panic and tension, appeared in the Imperial Kitchen, the results see people, Li Shiyu disappointed.

This is not Mu Lan at all, there is no similarity at all.

“Your Majesty, it was made by a maidservant.” Mu Lan answered calmly.

Li Shi-yu lifted his eyelids slightly: “Who did you learn from?” Learn

from the maidservant’s mother. It’s just some home-cooked dishes. Mu Lan answered, looking a little nervous.

“Where did you come from?” Li Shiyu asked again.

Mu Lan remained calm: “The maidservant’s name is Xu Zhenzhen. She is the daughter of Xu Ming, the prefect of Liuzhou.”

“Drafted into the palace?” Li Shiyu twisted his eyebrows, but he had some impressions.

“Yes.” Mu Lan nodded, and

Li Shiyu said nothing more.

Liuzhou magistrate is Xu Ming, Li Shiyu has no impression, big week officials countless, Li Shiyu can not everyone remember, and those into the palace show girl, Li Shiyu did not see, just casually point a few look like Mu Lan, pleasing to the eye.

The rest of the people, Li Shiyu will not care.

So in front of Mu Lan said his family background, Li Shiyu did not react.

And those show girls, not elected, most of them will stay in the palace as palace maids, willing to go out of the palace very little, so in Li Shiyu’s view, Mu Lan is also such a mind and idea.

After that, Li Shiyu did not ask any more questions, and quickly stood up and left the Imperial Kitchen with people.

Mu Lan knelt down and said, “The maidservant will see the emperor off. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor.”

Li Shiyu calmly passed by Mu Lan, and the familiar sandalwood fragrance came, and Mu Lan was filled with emotion.

Suddenly, Li Shiyu’s footsteps stopped, Mu Lan was stunned, and soon bowed his head again.

“Keep your head up.” Li Shiyu spoke again.

Mu Lan raised his head passively.

This time, they are really close at hand.

Li Shiyu looked down, carefully staring at Mu Lan’s face, until Li Shiyu’s face floated a disappointed look, the man no longer paid attention to Mu Lan, turned and went out.

Mulan was relieved.

But she also understood that Li Shiyu came to see himself to see if he was transfigured.

Perhaps no one in the world can see Mu Lan’s transfiguration, but Li Shiyu can, just like when he was in Wangxianglou.

And now, Li Shiyu can still.

But Mu Lan is very clear, she is not transfiguration, but with a face, really become like this.

She bowed her head and smiled bitterly, until Li Shiyu walked away, then slowly stood up, and the people Imperial Kitchen had already surrounded her, asking what Li Shiyu had asked.

Mu Lan said simply, everyone did not continue to open their mouths, and soon they were busy.

……

Li Shi-yu stepped out of the Imperial Kitchen and got into a sedan-chair. Then he looked at Yung Chiu and said, “No, not her.”

Rong Jiu knew what Li Shiyu was referring to, and he quieted down and finally said nothing.

Li Shiyu closed his eyes and didn’t think any more.

After all, in this world, how can anyone come back from the dead, unless the person never died.

But they are watching Mu Lan die, at that time the ghost hand is in, everyone is very clear what happened, the ghost hand is unable to save the day, how can it be Mu Lan.

What’s more, the person in front of us is really Mu Lan, why is he willing to be proud of the wind.

If it is Mu Lan, Mu Lan will not be willing to give up Ao Feng.

However, the more calm, the more Li Shiyu seems to feel headache, as if things that have not been thought of for a long time, all of a sudden rushed into his mind, almost unacceptable. “Your Majesty, the East Palace is just ahead,” said Yung Chiu suddenly as the

sedan chair reached the fork.

“Back to the palace.” Li Shiyu’s voice is still faint. The implication

is that I don’t want to see Ao Feng.

Rong Jiu sighed silently and did not dare to disobey Li Shiyu’s meaning. Only then did he order the slave to walk towards the Royal Dragon Palace. When he passed the East Palace, Rong Jiu took a look, but soon took back his sight.

Mingming Aofeng is Li Shiyu’s favorite prince, but with the departure of Mu Lan, Li Shiyu’s mood towards Aofeng has become much more complicated.

Almost never come to the East Palace, occasionally come, but also routine, not to mention the chat and play between father and son.

But for everything Aofeng, Li Shiyu privately let the slaves report everything, even what Aofeng ate today, what he wore, what he learned, Li Shiyu can know clearly.

Not only Li Shiyu, but also Ao Feng.

It seems that he has realized that his father does not want to be close to him, and Aofeng will never take the initiative to find Li Shiyuan to act like a spoiled child, and compared with children of the same age, it is too quiet.

Not long after seeing it, the Hungry Ghost Festival is coming.

Ao Feng will be four years old soon. I don’t know what to do if I

don’t go up or down.

If Mu Lan had a soul in heaven to know, it would probably be sad.

“Am I too cruel?” Li Shiyu suddenly opened his mouth.

Rong Jiu quieted down. “Back to the emperor, there must be a reason for you to do this.”

“I also want to embrace Aofeng and accompany him, but when I see Aofeng’s face, I think of Lan too easily. When I think of her, I can’t control my emotions.” Li Shiyu smiled with self-mockery.

Rong Jiu didn’t answer.

“The ministers are all trying to persuade me to stand up again. What do you think I should do?” Li Shiyu casually asked Rong Jiu.

Rong Jiu did not expect that Li Shiyu would ask himself such a question. When he opened his mouth to speak, he could only answer passively: “Your Majesty, my subordinates don’t know how to deal with this matter.”

Li Shiyu didn’t embarrass Rong Jiu.

This back seat, even if Mu Lan walked for so many years, Li Shiyu has never thought to give to any woman, even if the air is hanging, his back, can only be Mu Lan.

Rong Jiu naturally knew what Li Shiyu was thinking.

But Rong Jiu knew better that the back seat could not be empty for a long time. Even though Li Shiyu had concubines in the harem, there were almost no serious ones who were favored by Li Shiyu. Those who

can stay a few more nights are already highly vocal people.

But even so, it’s impossible to get in the back seat.

Perhaps, the time has not yet come.

In such an idea, the soft sedan chair quickly returned to the Royal Dragon Palace, Li Shiyu off the soft sedan chair, before the mood has been very good convergence, he is only the emperor of the big week, in addition, there will be no more ideas.

……

Half a month later

, Mulan still cooked for Li Shiyu every day, and since the matter was taken over by Mulan, there was no voice of dissatisfaction from the Royal Dragon Palace, and the people Imperial Kitchen were greatly relieved.

For Mulan, people Imperial Kitchen are grateful.

And this day a day of the past, Li Shiyu also no longer come to Imperial Kitchen.

Mu Lan said that no thought is false, but such thought, Mu Lan has never expressed in the face, always so clean.

And because of the approaching Hungry Ghost Festival, Mu Zhanxiao is not good to arrange Mu Lan to go to the East Palace again.

What’s more, the people in the palace are extremely attentive to the matter of Aofeng, especially the people in the East Palace, most of whom were slaves who served Mu Lan before, so Mu Lan’s frequent appearance will inevitably lead to trouble.

Therefore, this period of time, Mulan has been Imperial Kitchen, never left.

Time flashed by until the Hungry Ghost Festival.

The Hungry Ghost Festival is a very grand festival in Dazhou. Over the years, Li Shiyu has been recuperating, so even the Hungry Ghost Festival has not been held wantonly. This year is different, now the big week is prosperous, the Hungry Ghost Festival has naturally been put on the agenda.

So today’s palace is bustling, and everyone is busy for the Hungry Ghost Festival.

Imperial Kitchen bear the meal this piece, naturally can not be idle, such a thing, it is not the turn of Mulan worry, Imperial Kitchen people are also very clear that Mulan’s health is not good.

Mu Lan is rare to end up idle, just stay in the house, and never left.

Occasionally she would look at the brilliant lights outside through the window edge, but Mu Lan knew very well that her eyes were falling in the direction of the Royal Dragon Hall. After

watching for a while, Mu Lan laughed silently. What can

she see?

She knew she wanted to see Li Shiyu, but she also knew that she could not see anything.

Mingming is close at hand, but the distance between her and Li Shiyu is far away. In

such an idea, Mu Lan lightly withdrew his eyes and sat quietly in a chair, looking at the Buddhist scriptures in an attempt to calm himself down.

Gradually, Mu Lan seemed to shield all the noisy voices around him, as if the prosperity outside had nothing to do with him.

It was not until Mu Lan heard the noise outside the house that Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows, then put the sutra on it and walked out of the house.

Her courtyard was in the corner of the Imperial Kitchen, and although it was a separate room, it was very quiet here on weekdays, and few people came.

Even people Imperial Kitchen can hardly live in Mulan’s house.

So cold to hear such a noise, but let Mu Lan feel surprised.

Soon, Mulan went out, but when he went out, Mulan saw that there was no one outside, which made Mulan quiet.

She stood where she was and did not speak.

Then Mu Lan’s line of sight looked to the corner position, then, Mu Lan’s corner of the mouth slightly rises. I

really didn’t expect that the people who

came to this place would be Ao Feng. The distance between the

East Palace and the Imperial Kitchen is very far, today such a day, Ao Feng must also be in the hall, but now Ao Feng appears in front of him? Ao Feng

probably heard himself coming out, so he hid.

But is a child, Mu Lan can not find.

But what about those who follow Ao Feng? Why can’t Linglong see the figure?

This let Mu Lan’s eyebrows slightly twisted, Ao Feng disappeared in the hall, why no one found it? Is it true that no one noticed Ao Feng or didn’t care at all?

Such an idea makes Mulan a little uncomfortable.

But soon, she collected her emotions and walked in the direction of the proud wind.

But Mu Lan is not hurried, but carefully, Ao Feng also seems to know that someone came over, more and more hide in, but this position is not a place to hide.

It was not until Mu Lan came up to him that he said with a smile, “Your Royal Highness, won’t you come out?”? Doesn’t it feel bad to hide in there?

This is let Aofeng come out from the corner, a face of uncomfortable looking at Mu Lan, as if Mu Lan disturbed himself. The

prince still has the dignity he should have.

“You are such a slave. You know that the king is the crown prince, but you are still so unreasonable. Aren’t you afraid that the king will send you to be beheaded?” Ao Feng cold hum, as a prince, or very shelf.

Mulan just laughed silently, and then paid his respects: “See the prince, your Highness. Your Highness is a thousand years old.”

Ao Feng ignored Mu Lan and turned to go.

But how can Mu Lan let Ao Feng go, you know, in this palace, it is really too difficult to meet Ao Feng, although I do not know why Ao Feng came back, but Mu Lan still want to chat with Ao Feng more.

Even if you don’t speak, just look at it like this, it’s a very pleasant thing for Mu Lan.

“Your Highness.” Mu Lan opened his mouth and called Ao Feng.

Ao Feng ignored Mu Lan.

In the palace, Aofeng has never been a person who is easy to get along with, although he does not beat or scold slaves, but apart from the close Linglong, Aofeng is lukewarm to anyone.

Naturally, it is impossible for a Mulan to attract much attention from Aofeng.

“If you are hungry, the maidservant will get you something to eat.” Mu Lan suddenly said. There was a faint smile in

her eyes. Full of

pride, but also a child, hungry reaction is very obvious, just like now. Ao Feng’s stomach rumbled, although very light, but still heard clearly.

“Who says the king is hungry?” All of a sudden, Ao Feng became angry. “The king is tired of seeing you as an obstinate slave.”

Mu Lan just laughed. With a quiet smile

at Aofeng, Aofeng hummed heavily and turned his back to Mu Lan. In the face of such a situation,

Mu Lan is calm: “It’s because today’s food is not your Highness’s appetite that your Highness didn’t eat, right?”

She found a way out for Ao Feng.

Ao Feng suddenly squashed his lips and said, “No, don’t talk nonsense.”

“Your Highness, how about cooking a bowl of noodles?” Mu Lan did not mind at all and asked softly, as if coaxing the proud wind.

She knows better than anyone that Ao Feng is a duplicitous child. Will

not be malicious to the slaves how, more is the face can not put down.

So Mu Lan will follow Ao Feng to coax and give Ao Feng a step down.

And Aofeng is really hungry, in the Hungry Ghost Festival, he did not eat anything, watching different people walking in front of him, constantly flattering himself, those words, listening to Aofeng has been tired.

Finally, Aofeng got rid of Linglong and sneaked out all the way.

Come here. No one has found it yet.

Only to be discovered by this minion.

Ao Feng has some face, but listening to her words, but really feel hungry and uncomfortable, as if it is not good to refuse, at least food is the first necessity of the people, Ao Feng does not want to make trouble with himself.

But on the surface, Ao Feng is still very proud: “Hum, if you this slave’s cooking is not delicious, this king will not let you go.”

“Good.” Mulan laughed. “Is your Highness coming with the maidservant?”

Ao Feng followed Mu Lan, Mu Lan wanted to hold Ao Feng’s soft little hand, but finally Mu Lan held back and led the way ahead. Around

the Hungry Ghost Festival, the weather is just right.

Mu Lan did not bring Ao Feng into the house, but sat on a small table in the courtyard. “Can I wait for the maidservant for a while?”

“The king will go with you, so that you will not poison the king with your meal.” Ao Feng spoke directly.

Mu Lan is not angry either. He raises his eyebrows and looks at Ao Feng. “It’s very hot inside.”

“The king is going!” Ao Feng is very insistent.

Not afraid of Mu Lan poisoning, is purely boring, do not want to sit here alone, it is rare to sneak out, Aofeng want to see these places in the palace he has never been to.

What’s more, Mu Lan gives Ao Feng a good feeling. I can’t

say. They are also respectful

to themselves, but they are not as flattering as other slaves. They are afraid that they will be angry, and they will have the principles they should have.

Even that is a kind of inexplicable feeling, as if close to Mu Lan, will make Aofeng feel at ease, but also a sense of familiarity, how can such a feeling appear on a slave.

This makes Ao Feng feel strange.

That’s why I want to follow Mu Lan.

Mulan listened to Aofeng’s words, quieted down, and then chuckled: “Well, as long as your Highness is not afraid of the heat.”

Ao Feng snorted and walked ahead.

Mulan naturally took Aofeng’s hand and said, “Your Highness, it’s here.”

Ao Feng one Leng, looking at Mu Lan holding his hand, so natural, such a feeling, as if never had, the father has never held himself, those slaves dare not do so.

But Mu Lan can.

Ao Feng is not used to it, but he doesn’t resist the feeling.

So in the end, Ao Feng didn’t say anything.

Mu Lan is in the moment of holding Ao Feng, some stunned, know that such behavior is beyond decency, but see Ao Feng did not say anything, Mu Lan did not say anything, quiet down, a low smile. Only then did

Mu Lan open his mouth and explain: “There’s a small kitchen here, and very few people come here on weekdays, and things are all there, so it’s all right here.”

Ao Feng still snorted coldly.

Mu Lan did not mind at all, holding Ao Feng’s hand and walking into the small kitchen. Compared with the cool outside, the

small kitchen is naturally a little stuffy.

“Your Highness, it will be cooler if you sit here by the door. It’s still a little hot inside. The maidservant will go in and cook noodles for you. It will be ready soon. Is that all right?” Mu Lan asked Ao Feng.

Ao Feng hum, is agreed.

Mu Lan moved a small stool for Aofeng, and Aofeng sat down.

Then Mu Lan walked toward the stove.

Small kitchen as hot, but Mu Lan personally, the noodles are very simple, but Mu Lan is particularly attentive, this is the first time Mu Lan to Aofeng to eat, Mu Lan’s heartbeat is also very fast, that kind of excitement is obvious. When

Mu Lan left, Aofeng was still in charge of the nurse, and Mu Lan had never cooked anything for Aofeng. And

then there was no chance.

Now such an opportunity, Mulan naturally will not miss.

Think of Ao Feng waiting, Mu Lan eyebrow in the eyes of the smile also followed the more obvious up.

After a while, Mu Lan had already cooked the noodles, which was not very good compared with the chef, but when Aofeng saw it, he looked surprised. Having

seen all kinds of delicacies in the palace, the imperial chefs are naturally very flattering.

No matter how many delicacies you see, you will feel irritable.

So when Leng Buding saw the noodles made by Mu Lan, Ao Feng became interested.

“Is that all?” Ao Feng’s performance is still indifferent.

Mulan smiled and said, “Well, there are still two small dishes. Your Highness will see if you like them.”

Ao Feng was silent, but the hand holding the chopsticks was ready to move. When Mu Lan turned to get the side dish, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Ao Feng’s chopsticks had reached out to the noodles and quickly picked them up. It was not polite at all.

Mu Lan chuckled and pretended not to see it.

Ao Feng stole another bite.

When Mu Lan came out, Ao Feng solemnly put the chopsticks away, as if he had never eaten, but the oil stains on the corners of his mouth had revealed everything.

“Try it.” Mu Lan also did not pierce the proud wind.

Ao Feng Ao Jiao looked at Mu Lan, but the chopsticks could not help but stretch toward the cold laver, cold laver entrance, sweet and sour, is very appetizing.

Even the noodles, which look plain, are delicious when Aofeng eats them in his mouth.

After a while, probably really hungry, full of noodles and side dishes were eaten up by Aofeng.

He burped, but when he faced Mulan, Ao Feng still looked haughty: “Just so so. Don’t think that Ben Wang has finished eating. He just likes it. Ben Wang doesn’t like it!”

“Good.” Mu Lan smiled and said to himself, “If your Highness wants to eat, you can come to the maidservant at any time.”

“You wish!” Ao Feng turned his face directly.

Mu Lan is still laughing.

All the tiredness and waiting seem to disappear at the moment of seeing the proud wind, leaving only full of joy and unspeakable happiness.

“What are you laughing at?” Ao Feng couldn’t help asking Mu Lan.

Mu Lan said quietly, “It’s nothing. The maidservant just feels very happy. I can meet your Highness today.”. Seeing your Highness eat and drink enough, the maidservant is naturally happy.

“Flattery.” Ao Feng said a word.

Mulan doesn’t mind at all.

Ao Feng stood up, and so did Mu Lan. “Your Highness, you’d better go back. Otherwise, the emperor won’t be able to find your Highness. He’ll be worried for a while.”

Ao Feng has been out for some time. How could

Li Shiyu not find that Aofeng was missing?

While Mulan was meditating, Ao Feng suddenly said, “My father doesn’t care whether the king is here or not!”

Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows and gave Ao Feng first.

Ao Feng was silent again, waving his hand, too lazy to say anything, and soon walked outside, without any intention of continuing the conversation.

Instead, Mu Lan stopped Ao Feng. “Your Highness, what do you mean by that?”? Shouldn’t you be the emperor’s favorite prince? Why doesn’t the emperor care at all about your Highness? Hear this

from the mouth of the proud wind, as if mercilessly gave Mu Lan a punch, can not say the feeling, more and more appear dull up.

This kind of question, Aofeng has actually been asked countless times.

There are those who are up to no good and those who are maliciously tempted. Over the past few years,

Li Shiyu has been indifferent to Aofeng at least on the surface, so Aofeng has long been numb to such problems.

He turned and looked at Mulan. “You’re a slave. If you ask more questions, aren’t you afraid of being beheaded?”

I made it clear that I didn’t want to explain this to Mulan.

As a result, Mu Lan did not become nervous because of Aofeng’s words, but looked at Aofeng calmly, walked in the direction of Aofeng, and half squatted down.

She looked carefully at Ao Feng and said, “Prince, the emperor must be the one who loves you the most in the world. He won’t ignore you. The emperor’s concern is very subtle. He must be thinking about you in his heart.”

“King Ben, don’t you want to be the woman of your father? That’s why you keep talking for him!” It was not easy to get close, but it pulled away in an instant.

In Aofeng’s view, those harem concubines who wantonly fawn on themselves are nothing more than to seize the attention of the emperor.

After they found out that Li Shiyu was indifferent to them, those people never came.

And in front of the plain-looking slave, unexpectedly between the lines, is also for Li Shiyu to speak.

Ao Feng has some sarcasm. Isn’t it

? Anyone in

this palace can’t wait to become Li Shiyu’s harem. You know, it’s a step to the sky. If you have your own palace, why should you stay here.

“Hehe.” Ao Feng sneered, “The king tells you that you are wishful thinking.”

Mulan felt helpless, but he didn’t get angry because of Aofeng’s words. “I never thought about it. I just want you to have a good relationship with the emperor. Don’t be so angry.”

She coaxed Ao Feng patiently.

Ao Feng did not pay attention to Mu Lan, nor did he accept Mu Lan’s kindness, so he turned around and left.

Mu Lan wanted to catch up, but he was unable to do so. Although Ao Feng was small, his speed was not slow at all, but Mu Lan could not use any strength at all. After such a meal, he was exhausted now.

My back is starting to sweat.

If you go on tossing and turning, I’m afraid it will kill you.

But Mu Lan is still a little worried about Ao Feng’s words.

She sighed silently, finally coughed a few times, on the clean veil, there was bright red blood, Mu Lan gasped, quickly found the medicine to take, and then gradually calmed down.

But Mu Lan’s face is always with a smile, at least today she unexpectedly saw Ao Feng.

This kind of time makes people happier than ever.

…… For

a few days.

Mu Lan remembered what Ao Feng had said to himself, so from time to time he would ask the slaves in the palace.

Autumn Mammy is also an old man in the palace, for the matter between Aofeng and Li Shiyu is also known, when Mu Lan asked, autumn Mammy did not hide, quickly told Mu Lan what she knew. Mammy

Qiu, doesn’t the emperor like the little prince very much? Why does it seem that the emperor is so indifferent to the little prince? Mu Lan asked casually, as if chatting casually, “I heard people in the palace say that.” When Mammy

Qiu was working, she listened to Mulan’s words and said quietly, “Zhen Zhen, don’t ask about the emperor and the prince. You’re going to lose your head.”

Mulan nodded. “I know. I crossed the line.”

But Mammy Chiu explained, Ever since the death of the empress, the emperor has rarely visited the East Palace. I think, ah, it’s probably because he’s afraid of being touched by the scene. Don’t you see those empresses? They all look like empresses, but most of all they look like the prince, especially the eyes.

“That’s why we say that the emperor is afraid of being touched by the scene.”

Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows.

What’s more, it’s not that the empress in the palace hasn’t been tested. At first, the empresses were very enthusiastic to find the prince, but the prince could not get good, the emperor could not get good, for a long time, everyone felt that the prince was out of favor, and naturally did not go. In this palace, the East Palace is more deserted than anywhere else.

“But you see, everyone thinks that the prince is out of favor, and naturally some people don’t care about the prince. As a result, the emperor has put this person in prison. Now, everyone knows that the prince is not without status in the emperor’s heart.” As

she spoke, Mammy Qiu said helplessly, “Are you saying that the emperor is spoiling her or not?”? Is the prince sitting still or not? No one in the palace knows.

……

In the words of Mammy Qiu, Mu Lan suddenly understood that

Li Shiyu was not bad for Aofeng, but that he had snubbed Aofeng, or that Li Shiyu had not assumed this responsibility at the age when Aofeng needed his father most.

Li Shiyu’s idea, Mu Lan understood.

But this is too unfair to Ao Feng. That’s not

what Aofeng wants.

Mu Lan low under the eyebrows, standing in place, more is the Aofeng heartache and guilt, after all, the initial time, is also Mu Lan chose to give up the Aofeng, if not for Li Shiyu, why so? When is the time

for retribution.

Mu Lan quieted down.

But when Mammy Qiu thought of something, the conversation suddenly stopped. She immediately looked at Mulan and said, “I’m just saying that. Don’t take it to heart, and don’t go out and talk nonsense. Zhen, you must remember that talking nonsense in the palace is a matter of losing your head, especially in the royal affairs. You can’t talk nonsense.”

Qiu Mammy reminded Mu Lan again and again.

Mu Lan hum sound, be accepted to come down.

Autumn Mammy this just rest assured, after all, Mulan has never been a talkative person, even if now cooking for the emperor, the emperor likes very much, Imperial Kitchen also did not receive any censure, most of the people in the palace also do not know this is Mulan, still feel that this is the imperial kitchen.

Mu Lan has no intention of taking credit.

For Mulan, the most time of the day, except for Imperial Kitchen, is to stay quietly in the room, even speak very little.

Like today, take the initiative to ask about these things in the palace, has never happened, Qiu Mammy this is not any wariness of Mu Lan, but these things in the palace is really not a secret.

Otherwise, Mammy Qiu naturally did not dare to talk nonsense.

This topic, suddenly stopped, autumn Mammy and Mulan talked about other things, Mulan very quiet listening, almost to the time, Mulan went to Imperial Kitchen. In

a flash, half a month has passed since the Hungry Ghost Festival.

Mulan’s life is still the same.

And since that day, Mu Lan has not seen Ao Feng, not to mention Li Shiyu, as if he had just entered the palace, quietly staying in the Imperial Kitchen.

Instead, Mu Zhanxiao came to see Mu Lan at night. I had a few words

with Mu Lan.

Mu Lan made the tea quietly. Mu Zhanxiao drank, “This tea is better made by you. No one in the palace can compare with it. It’s a waste of those good teas.”. As for the emperor, he hasn’t been drinking much tea these days. It seems that no matter who makes it, he can’t make Huang Shang happy. The

sudden mention of Li Shiyu startled Mu Lan, who then said coldly, “Didn’t the emperor know how to do it himself?”

“That’s what I said, but –” Mu Zhanxiao just wanted to explain. Suddenly he looked at Mu Lan, as if he understood something. “Where did the emperor offend you?”

He asked directly.

At least Mu Lan into the palace, the attitude of Li Shiyu is not like this, this half a month did not see, as if all of a sudden become arrogant and angry.

But Mu Zhanxiao has no impression when Li Shiyu has offended Mu Lan, at least Li Shiyu has never seen Mu Lan.

So Mu Zhanxiao looked at Mu Lan with some curiosity.

Mu Lan quieted down for a moment, and then continued to fill the teacup with water. Then he looked at Mu Zhanxiao and said, “Is he good to Ao Feng?”

This made Mu Zhanxiao stupefied: “Of course it’s good.”

“Is it?” Mu Lan is light.

“What rumors have you heard?” Mu Zhanxiao raised his eyebrows, and then calmly looked at Mu Lan.

Mu Lan did not speak.

This attitude is not do not want to talk about this issue, but to Mu Zhanxiao take the initiative to say, than patience, really no one can surpass Mu Lan.

Mu Zhanxiao quieted down: “Which slave has broken his mouth?”

Mu Lan slowly drinking tea, in the words of Mu Zhanxiao, also understand, perhaps not before, but this period of time is bound to happen.

“Tell me about it.” Mu Lan is light, also did not mention the name of any slave. When

Mu Zhanxiao saw Mu Lan’s question, he quieted down and gathered his thoughts. Then he said, “Half a month ago, during the Hungry Ghost Festival, Aofeng suddenly left the banquet. At that time, Linglong was still with him. But then Linglong couldn’t find Aofeng, so she hurried back to report. All of a sudden, the palace was in chaos.”

Mu Zhanxiao recalled the situation at that time.

You should know that Aofeng disappeared that day on the Hungry Ghost Festival. The emperor couldn’t have been impatient, but he couldn’t have made a big fuss. After all, no matter how big the imperial palace was, it was just a small place, and it wasn’t really impossible to find anyone. So the emperor sent someone to look for him in private. But in this palace, the slaves found all the places Aofeng could go, but there was no sign of Aofeng. So it is understandable that the emperor is burning with anxiety.

Mu Zhanxiao went on to say, “As a result, when everyone turned upside down, Aofeng came back about an hour later.”. Naturally, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ao Feng, but all his previous nervousness burst out and he scolded Ao Feng without hesitation.

Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows.

“Still in front of everyone.” Mu Zhanxiao said, sighing silently, “Ao Feng’s temper is very stubborn. He was scolded by the emperor. It’s not necessary to talk back. It’s just that his expression clearly tells him that he’s in a bad mood.”. The emperor naturally thought that Aofeng was stubborn, so he grounded him for half a month and could not leave.

「……」

But when Aofeng’s temper came up, no matter who asked, no one knew where Aofeng had gone that night. The emperor is also angry and arrogant. In addition, over the past few years, there have been many rumors in the palace, so the news of Ao Feng’s fall from grace has probably come out again.

……

Mu Zhanxiao and Mu Lan explained.

This is Mu Lan do not know things, after all, Imperial Kitchen and the Royal Dragon Palace is still some distance, that night, the people in Imperial Kitchen are the busiest, will not go to care about what happened in the palace, and the Royal Dragon Palace on the slave mouth is the tightest, naturally more will not break the mouth.

I just didn’t expect that such a thing happened that night.

“So over the years, he’s not bad for Ao Feng, but he’s not good either, is he?” Mu Lan asked.

This question stunned Mu Zhanxiao for a moment before he shook his head. “You can’t say that. The emperor’s concern for Aofeng is in another way. It’s just that for Aofeng, it’s not very acceptable.”

Mu Zhanxiao rectified Li Shiyu’s name.

Mu Lan did not speak, and the action of making tea in his hand continued.

Mu Zhanxiao looked at Mu Lan, but he was a little careful. When he wanted to say something, Mu Lan had already handed over a cup of tea and looked at Mu Zhanxiao quietly: “That night, Ao Feng was here.”

Mu Zhanxiao: “… …”

He doesn’t know why he’s here. Maybe he’s hungry, or maybe he doesn’t want to be found. I cooked him a bowl of noodles and left in a hurry. Mu Lan opened his mouth lightly to explain.

Mu Zhanxiao is how did not think of, Ao Feng unexpectedly appeared in Mu Lan here, let Mu Zhanxiao also stunned.

But in the end, Mu shook his head and chuckled: “it seems that this is really fate, fate, this palace is so big, Aofeng can go anywhere, but it happened to go to Imperial Kitchen, but also met you.”

Mu Lan did not speak. She still has pride in her

heart.

There is also the lukewarm father-son relationship between Li Shiyu and Aofeng. I’m worried

after all.

When Mu Zhanxiao saw that Mu Lan was worried, he sighed silently: “No one can interfere in the affairs of the emperor, and no one can interfere in the decisions of the emperor, but at least the emperor is not bad for Ao Feng.”. What I can guarantee is that Ao Feng’s position will not be affected. I can’t judge the matter of the emperor. After all, the emperor has a lot of helplessness on the throne, including these empresses in the harem.

Mu Zhanxiao and Mu Lan tell the truth.

Mu Lan hum sound, let a person guess her attitude now.

Soon, Mu Zhanxiao looked at Mu Lan and changed the subject: “By the way, did I never tell you that Rong Fei had returned to the palace?”

Mu Lan was stunned.

She really didn’t know about it.

“The present Empress Dowager is the Empress Rong, and the Empress Dowager is still the Empress Dowager.” Mu Zhanxiao answered, “It was about a year ago. I wanted to say it several times, but I either accidentally interrupted it, or I didn’t find the right opportunity. In the end, I couldn’t say it.”

Later, Mu Zhanxiao always thought he knew, so he forgot.

But today suddenly and Mu Lan mentioned this matter, is not without reason, he seriously looked at Mu Lan: “The identity of the queen mother is.” I wonder if the queen mother can help you reunite with the emperor.

Mu Lan in Mu Zhanxiao’s words, suddenly understood the meaning of Mu Zhanxiao.

She lowered her head and chuckled, then shook her head. “No.”

Mu Zhanxiao twisted his eyebrows: “Why?”

“Just like you, you can’t tell the emperor who I am, and the emperor is bound to ask me. No matter what way I use, the final result will be the same.” Mu Lan laughed. “Besides, if Rong Fei knew, she would also know the twists and turns during this period, which would only embarrass Rong Fei.”

Mu Zhanxiao didn’t speak.

“The deal with the Black Mountain God is so on the surface, but no one knows what will happen, or because of a certain word, what hints will be touched, so don’t implicate anyone else.” “What’s more, if you can think of it, the Black Mountain God must also be able to think of it.”

This, let Mu Zhanxiao a word can not say, finally can only be so passive looking at Mu Lan.

Mu Lan smiled faintly, but said calmly, “I’ve looked down on it for so many years.”. I think it’s all right now. Besides, I don’t know when my body will fail. If I get back together with him, I won’t have to face another separation of life and death. Why bother?

Mu Zhanxiao could not refute Mu Lan’s words.

He was quiet and finally said nothing.

But Mu Lan chuckled, “Second Brother, it’s getting late. You should go back, too.”. So as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Mu Zhanxiao nodded and said nothing.

Mu Lan personally sent Mu Zhanxiao out.

As he reached the door, Mu Lan suddenly asked, “By the way, I heard that my second brother is going to get engaged.”

Mu Zhanxiao listened to Mu Lan’s words and quieted down: “I’m not young. I should marry a daughter-in-law so that my mother won’t miss me all the time.”

“Whose daughter?” Mu Lan asked smoothly.

In his last life, Mu Lan could not wait for Mu Zhanxiao to get married, because when Li Shiyu was defeated, Mu Zhanxiao had already lost his life. This life is naturally different.

So Mu Lan will be curious, and Mu Zhanxiao married who will be.

Mu Zhanxiao didn’t hide anything either. He said lightly, “When the emperor points out the marriage, there are several candidates. I don’t know for the time being.”

Mu Lan nodded and asked no more questions.

Mu Zhanxiao today’s status, the choice of wife this matter naturally will not be sloppy, even if the marriage princess, are more than enough, and now Mu Zhanxiao’s identity, Li Shiyu will inevitably refer to marriage.

It’s just that who will be the object of this marriage, it’s Mu Zhan Xiao’s choice in the end.

Mu Lan knew that Mu Zhanxiao had a candidate in his heart, but he didn’t say it. Since he didn’t want to say it, Mu Lan didn’t ask much.

The two men walked to the intersection. Before he

left, Mu Zhanxiao said, “It’s probably the daughter of Lord Hsu, Hsu Wan-ying.”

Mu Lan twisted her eyebrows, but she had no impression of Xu Wanying. Xu adult she is clear, it is also Li Shiyu’s confidant, has been lurking in the palace all the year round, for Li Shiyu ascension, Xu adult is also natural contribution.

“Have you known Miss Hsu long?” Mu Lan asked.

“I’ve seen them several times, when I was in the Hsu Mansion, but I haven’t spoken to them.” Mu Zhanxiao said directly, “My identity is nothing more than to find a person who can balance the relationship as a wife. Hsu Wan-ying is just the right person, and she is also knowledgeable and reasonable. That’s enough.” The implication is

that Mu Zhanxiao did not have any feelings for Xu Wanying. If

there is no feeling to marry into the door, in fact, it is just empty waiting.

For a girl’s family, the best years are wasted.

But no one can say anything about it.

Mu Lan nodded, “Tell me when the wedding day is set, and I’ll personally embroider a wedding dress for you.”

“That’s not necessary. You can’t work hard. Let the people below do this kind of thing.” Mu Zhanxiao said directly, “I don’t care much about these things, and Xu Fu will be ready.” Between

the lines, for this engagement, Mu Zhanxiao is not in mind.

And Mu Zhanxiao so opened his mouth, Mu Lan is not good to say anything.

She nodded, this did not say anything, and Mu Zhan Xiao nodded, soon left the small courtyard where Mu Lan lived, as when he came, no one knew. In the

small courtyard, it is still quiet.
