22. Diao Nu Lian Xin

Diao Nu Lian

Xin Phoenix Nirvana: The Road

of Glory and Favor of the Demon Queen of the Confused Country The feelings of Mei Ji and the Empress Dowager, Mu Lan knew, naturally understood, she did not speak.

Instead, Maggie quieted down for a moment and then suddenly added, “And I can’t rest assured of the empress.”. The empress has to take care of herself in the palace. This palace is no better than Mu Mansion, and you have to be careful every step of the way.

“I have written it down.” Mu Lan answered.

Mei Ji some desire to speak and stop, but finally the words to the mouth, and swallowed down, two people chatted for a while, Mei Ji tired, Mu Lan is also no longer left to stand up quickly.

“Have a good rest, Auntie Chi. I’ll come to see you tomorrow.” Mu Lan said with concern.

Before leaving, Mu Lan also left a good treasure to Mei Ji, for Mei Ji to fill the body, but did not let Mei Ji send himself, but turned away alone.

When Mulan reached the entrance of the wing, Meiji suddenly called out, “Empress.”

Mulan turned around and looked at Maggie quietly. “Auntie has something to say. You can say it directly.”

Mei Ji quieted down again, but Mu Lan did not urge him to wait patiently.

It was a long time before Maggie said, “The Empress must be more careful in what she does these days.”

This palace knows. Thank you, Aunt Chi, for reminding me. Mu Lan nodded his head.

Then Mei Ji also no longer opened his mouth, leaning against the bed, as if asleep, Mu Lan calmly turned away, but Mei Ji’s words fell in Mu Lan’s heart.

Mulan knew very well that Maggie would not say these words to herself for no reason.

It means something happened in the palace.

Mu Lan can not guess what Mei Ji refers to, but Mei Ji opened her mouth, it means that Mei Ji has absolute confidence, but this matter is not easy to say, or can not say, and ultimately can only use such an implicit way to remind Mu Lan. There is

also a possibility that Maggie saw something, and then kindly reminded Mulan.

After all, all the way to the palace, Maggie helped herself a lot.

Mu Lan sank and said nothing.

The lotus fragrance sees Mu Lan come out, immediately followed to go up, even the heart also dare not hesitate, one after another follow.

But when Mu Lan saw Lian Xin, he suddenly opened his mouth. The voice was neither light nor heavy, but all the slaves around him could hear it clearly: “Lian Xin, you have to keep such a long distance with this palace. Don’t you want to follow this palace, or is there something else?”

Lian Xin’s face changed. “No, that’s not what the maidservant meant.”

“Why is that?” Mu Lan is rarely aggressive, and he is still in the Fengluan Palace.

Lian Xin knew she was in the wrong, so she immediately followed Mu Lan and explained in a low voice, “The maidservant was just in a trance, so she didn’t follow. I implore the empress to atone for her sins.”

That makes sense.

Mu Lan hum, quickly turned and walked toward the outside of the Feng Luan Palace, but the slaves in the Feng Luan Palace heard it clearly.

In addition, Mu Lan stayed in Fengluan Palace for a while, and was polite to everyone. Even the slaves below, Mu Lan did not say a harsh word. Occasionally, there were slaves who made mistakes, trembling, but Mu Lan was only patient to point out what was wrong.

Even now, Mu Lan is the identity of the Crown Princess, when they see the same.

A heart, why can let Mu Lan seem to be angry.

Subconsciously, the people in the Fengluan Palace all felt that they had not been well served, had offended Mu Lan, and had even done too much. But in this palace, there is no secret, even the position of the heart in the East Palace, the slaves are more or less aware of.

Even the heart is the prince into a personal servant, but also the prince’s bed, regardless of favor or not, at least around the slaves to see even the heart is to please.

Lian Xin is not arrogant on weekdays, but it is inevitable to put on airs.

Now to serve the most favored Mu Lan, I am afraid the heart is unwilling.

But no one dared to talk about it face to face, just a few words in private.

But even the heart was Mu Lan face to face training, some can not hang the face, although closely followed, the face is always not good-looking, subconsciously feel that Mu Lan is taking the opportunity to retaliate against themselves.

Revenge himself last night and the prince made a snitch, the dissatisfaction of Mu Lan is a few more points.

It’s just not obvious.

Mu Lan is not impatient, she is waiting for the heart to jump into the trap automatically, after all, no matter what to do now, all want a reasonable excuse, can not let people leave a handle, saying that she is relying on the position of the Crown Princess, can not tolerate any harem woman.

Mu Lan lowered his eyebrows and eyes, quietly, and soon walked toward the position of the East Palace.

……

And from Mu Lan back to the palace, the east palace has always been crowded, and Mu Lan to pay his respects to the number of people, more is also a snob.

Mu Lan to deal with some tired, holding the pain of the forehead, did not refuse, but also did not respond to the heart.

“Empress, why don’t you go back to the palace and rest for a while?”

Mu Lan hum.

“Madam, the ambassador’s wife is still waiting for you outside.” The implication is

that Mu Lan should not be so indifferent, to see people, rather than choose to go back to rest.

Mu-lan looked at Lien-hsin, but Lien-hsin didn’t think he was wrong, so he went back and said, “When this man comes, the empress naturally wants to see him. Otherwise, if it gets out, people will say that the East Palace is not good at dealing with people, and even His Royal Highness will be affected.”

Every word still protects Li Shiyuan.

Mu Lan looked at Lian Xin with a half-smile, but she did not expect that when she entered the East Palace, Mu Zhihua and other concubines in the East Palace did not dare to make fun of Li Shiyuan and herself, but this Lian Xin bumped into her head.

She is still thinking about a good time, even her heart is not want to live?

“What if I don’t go?” Mu Lan asked in reply.

Lian Xin’s face changed and she said, “If the prince blames you, you can’t blame the maidservant for not reminding you.”

Mu Lan smiled faintly, but his smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes. “Since Lian Xin thinks so much about the East Palace, let’s go out and help this palace.”. If the prince blames you, let the prince come to this palace, and naturally this palace will not implicate you.

Say that finish, Mu Lan did not say much, turned around and walked toward the bedroom.

Lotus incense immediately followed up, after the edge of the heart, lotus incense can not help but look at one more, after Mu Lan left, even the heart is filled with indignation, wish to be able to rush up to tear Mu Lan.

“Sister Lien-hsin, don’t go against the Crown Princess right now. The Crown Princess is in the limelight. It’s not good to go against the Crown Princess.”

“It’s too much for her to do that.” Lian said angrily, “It’s clear that it’s aimed at me. Before, it seemed so kind, but after only one day, it’s already changed its face. It’s clear that it’s a grudge.”

“Sister Lian Xin..” The slave on one side hurriedly grabbed Lian Xin and said, “Don’t say anything. This empress is very powerful. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to become the Crown Princess. So you’d better be careful.”. Even if the prince spoils you, you’re still a slave to the empress.

The slave is reminding Lianxin.

Lian Xin doesn’t care.

Had it not been for her own family background, she would have been served by others long ago, where she still needed to serve others, and even could have been like Mu Zhihua, whose mother depended on her son.

Even the heart is arrogant, follow Mu Lan two days, already cannot swallow this tone.

She turned around and walked out of the hall to see the ambassador’s wife. It was obviously an inappropriate thing, but Lian Xin was dominating, as if she were the one in charge of the palace.

On the contrary, Mu Lan was indifferent.

He Xiang couldn’t help but ask, “Young lady, Lian Xin is ignoring you like this.”

“That’s what I want her to do.” “I don’t have time to play with her. She’s not qualified.”

He Xiang gave a cry, and then he was silent.

Mu Lan has a reason to do things, the lotus fragrance will not ask more, and then quietly retreated. Mu Lan ignored it.

This whole day, Mu Lan has not left the East Palace.

But Mu Lan is not who do not see, she picked people to see, not so important people, Mu Lan naturally ignored. And these unimportant people are led away by connecting their hearts. After returning

from Mu Lan, Li Shiyuan was no longer in the East Palace.

Not in the East Palace is also normal, Li Changtian’s situation is sometimes good and sometimes bad, Li Shiyuan in reason to go, not only Li Shiyuan, even one of these princes will not fall.

Last night’s coma was hidden from Qu Huachang and the queen mother, so today I’m afraid I can’t hide it, so the most lively place in the palace, except the East Palace, is the Royal Dragon Palace.

Mu Lan closed his eyes and rested for a while. Suddenly he asked, “Where is Lian Xin?”

“Still in the front hall.” He Xiang answered, “Young lady, she really thinks of herself as a crown princess.” With a half-smile,

Mu Lan snorted, “Let her come and bring me some snacks.”

He Xiang hesitated for a moment, then came to her senses and said, “The maidservant is going to do it.”

This snack, and so on for more than half an hour, even the heart is reluctant to send, Mu Lan did not say anything, took a look, the snack has long been cold.

She waved her hand and said, “All right, let’s get out of here. I can’t eat this cold snack.”

Lian Xin’s face changed again, and he was sure that Mu Lan was going to embarrass himself.

Before Mu Lan entered the East Palace, Mu Zhihua intentionally or unintentionally mentioned Mu Lan’s cunning and difficult to serve with Lianxin, and now that he has seen it, Lianxin is so sure.

Even the heart dares to be so presumptuous, is also looking at oneself is the prince to accompany the bed wench’s sake, a page of husband and wife hundred days of grace, the prince can not really be ruthless to oneself.

So Mu Lan said, even the heart directly picked up the plate and turned away, even the rules are gone.

Mu Lan sank and did not speak.

Lotus fragrance is a little shocked, even the slaves at the door are dumbfounded, but Mulan did not move, slaves also dare not say anything.

It seems to have passed quietly. For

several days in a row, it was all like this.

Even the heart seems to be waiting on the side of Mu Lan, but it seems reluctant, Mu Lan let even the heart to do things, even the heart is always late, do is done, but nothing is the point.

Mu Lan is tepid, even the courage to raise the heart of the growing.

And the slaves of the East Palace can not see through the meaning of Mu Lan, in such circumstances, nature is also polite to even the heart, the most important thing is that these days, Li Shiyuan came back at night, are also in Mu Lan’s bedroom.

But Li Shiyuan did not seem to know what had happened in the East Palace and did not ask. I

don’t know whether I really didn’t ask or not.

As a result, suddenly one day, the East Palace was completely banned, everyone felt insecure, and the slaves were afraid to breathe, standing in front of the steamer in the back kitchen, quietly, and even did not dare to look at the steamer. As soon as

Li Shiyuan gave the order, Lian Xin was taken away by the bodyguard.

Even the slaves of the East Palace were called to the front of the steamer, and everyone shivered with fear, because everyone clearly saw that Lian Xin was locked up in the steamer in a scream.

Even the lid of the steamer was not deliberately closed. The slave

outside can clearly see the heart inside the steamer, a little painful death, desperate struggle, but no strength to escape, the whole body was tied together again.

And the temperature of the steamer keeps rising.

Such torture is extremely painful.

Even, this painful process is extremely long, but the people around, can only be so mechanical and numb to look at, look frightened.

But everyone knows that this is killing the chicken to make an example of the monkey. The bodyguard next to

Li Shiyuan said in a loud voice, “This slave is a lesson for you. In the East Palace, you should always remember that the Crown Princess can control everything in the East Palace. The Crown Princess is kind and doesn’t say or ask questions. That doesn’t mean that the Crown Prince doesn’t know. Naturally, the East Palace can’t accommodate such an obstinate slave.”. You have to bear in mind what has happened today. If you don’t serve the Crown Princess well, it’s the same as if you don’t serve the Crown Prince well.

The slave knelt on the ground and said, “The slave obeys the order of the prince.”

And the heart in the steamer, a little bit of no strength, even if regret, even if resentment, even if indignant, also eventually with the disappearance of life, and gradually fade away.

In this deep palace, no one will remember such a person as Lianxin.

……

Mu Lan stood quietly in the bedroom, as if there was no interest in the periphery of everything, she followed the side of the lotus, the face of the lotus is also a little pale, naturally, what happened in the East Palace, the lotus also know clearly.

“Young lady..” He Xiang opened his mouth and called Mu Lan.

Mu Lan, on the other hand, is very calm: In the palace, if you offend any master, you may end up like Lianxin. Even if a master offends someone of a higher rank than her, he may be even more miserable than Lian Xin, and he won’t even be able to keep the whole body.

Hexiang bit her lip and dared not speak.

This matter is not done by Mu Lan, but by Li Shiyuan’s order. Over the past few days, Mu Lan has never said a word about the heart, but it can let the heart seek its own destruction, one thing to do, plus the day of Fengluan Palace, Mu Lan opened his mouth, will eventually spread to Li Shiyuan’s ears.

Li Shiyuan did not even have a chance to explain to Lianxin, so he ordered Lianxin to be sent to the steamer directly.

This is what outsiders see.

Mu Lan has always known that even if Li Shiyuan gave the power of the East Palace to himself, but on his side, many of Li Shiyuan’s people are monitoring their every move.

Not to mention those who came to the East Palace to pay their respects, even if such a slave as Lian Xin did something, Li Shiyuan knew it clearly.

Wait for a few days to clean up the heart, because Mu Lan did not move at all.

Li Shiyuan naturally thought that Mu Lan hoped that Li Shiyuan would start this matter and help Mu Lan establish his prestige. And Mu Lan really did not think of this matter to let oneself personally, not to establish prestige, but she has just entered the East Palace, not to make a bloody thing.

And Li Shiyuan started, the people naturally dare not say more, and this palace, but also dare not anyone to Mu Lan any disrespect.

After all, now Mu Lan is Li Shiyuan’s favorite.

But in such a scene, Mu Lan is very clear, everything has advantages and disadvantages, in addition to the heart, also means that she was qualitative.

After all, many things can not be explained clearly.

Mu Lan sank, and then said lightly, “Are people dead?”

For a long time, the lotus incense did not answer, Mu Lan twisted eyebrows, this just realized that he was too absorbed, unexpectedly did not notice Li Shiyuan came back, the lotus incense had already retreated out. Is

her guard down?

But Mu Lan soon turned around, and after being blessed, he paid his respects to Li Shiyuan: “I have seen your Highness.”

“Get up.” Li Shiyuan personally picked up Mu Lan.

Then, naturally, he put his arm around Mulan’s waist and said, “Why didn’t you tell the king that you were wronged?”

“Are you wronged?” Mu Lan smiles faintly. “In the palace, this is not a grievance.”

“You don’t have to stand on ceremony next time. My beloved concubine can handle it directly.” Li Shiyuan raised his eyebrows and said directly.

Mu Lan laughed again, “Your Highness is not afraid that I will deal with it. Does the palace have to say that I am ruthless?”

Li Shi-yuan half-smiled: “So my beloved concubine has been ignoring me for a few days, and with the help of the king, she has helped you deal with the unhappy person?”

That’s the truth.

But Mu Lan didn’t deny it either. He looked at Li Shiyuan quietly and said, “This is not proof. Your Highness dotes on my concubine and only allows my concubine to act so recklessly. I can’t bear to see my concubine suffer any grievance.”

“You have a sharp tongue.” Li Shiyuan pinched Mu Lan’s chin and answered neither salty nor light.

Mu Lan did not answer and quieted down.

She naturally poured tea for Li Shiyuan and called people to prepare a little, but everything outside the bedroom, Mu Lan did not ask a word, as if nothing had happened.

It was not until Li Shiyuan spoke again: “In another month, it will be the annual autumn festival. My father will go to the Western Regions, and my king will stay in the palace to take charge of the government. You will stay with my king in the palace.”

“Good.” Mu Lan answered.

The autumn festival is coming.

This day is a little fast. After the

autumn festival, everything is almost closed. So what if

Li Shiyuan stays in the palace? Li Shiyuan’s eyes are followed, and even in the end, Li Shiyuan will appear. Li Shiyu also took all the evidence at the time of the Autumn Festival and gave it to Li Changtian, and Li Shiyuan’s position was in jeopardy.

Autumn sacrifice is the variable of the big week, but also the variable of this life.

Mu Lan collected his thoughts, did not think any more, and soon calmly continued to do things in his hands, and Li Shiyuan did not say much, quietly looking at Mu Lan.

This is Mu Lan’s cleverness, should listen to listen, should not ask, will not ask a word.

But this life of autumn sacrifice, can not say why, Mu Lan felt that it was not as easy as he thought, but in the end, Mu Lan did not open his mouth to say much, quietly doing things in his hands.

……

Even after the heart, the east palace suddenly peace up, after Mu Lan into the east palace, those who were originally submissive to Mu Lan’s slaves, is now more respectful, a little bit of two minds, belong to Mu Zhihua, now also become honest up.

And Mu Zhihua was put under house arrest and smashed in his bedroom, and did not go out of the door all day long.

In the eyes of the slaves, although Mu Zhihua was named the side imperial concubine, although people are still in the East Palace, although all specifications have not changed, but the status quo of Mu Zhihua is no different from those concubines in the cold palace. The only

difference is that Mu Zhihua is pregnant.

And this belly of the prince, but no one knows whether to stay. In

the East Palace, Mu Lan has the final say now. When Mu Lan wants you to die, no one can live. The most important thing is that although Mu Lan did not start with Mu Zhihua, he did not even go to the bedroom of Mu Zhihua, but the imperial doctor in the palace kept going back and forth. I don’t know how many times

Dr. Xu has been here. What does

this mean? How can people in the East Palace not know.

But because of the queen mother’s order, no one dared to go to the bedroom to see Mu Zhihua, and even Qu Huachang, who loved Mu Zhihua deeply, never came.

Qu Huachang in the back, more will not allow themselves to make any mistakes, after all, Qu Huachang is very clear, Li Changtian this person no matter how to do other things, but Li Changtian for the queen mother is a very filial person, if the queen mother is really quite critical, then Li Changtian a lot of things will sit down again.

So Qu Huachang’s behavior is not difficult to understand.

The queen mother’s order dare not disobey.

Another day.

Ji Chang-jin walked out of Mu Chih-hua’s bedroom, his brows twisted, and Hexiang hurried forward: “Doctor Xu, please welcome the empress.”

Ji Chang-jin quieted down. “Is the empress not feeling well?”

Since Mu Lan entered the East Palace, they had hardly seen it, even if they came and went to the East Palace, Mu Lan had never called himself on his own initiative.

Today suddenly cold mouth, this let Ji Jang Geum inevitably some worry.

The Empress is in good health. The maidservant does not know what it is. Hexiang’s polite explanation.

Ji Jang Geum nodded, quickly handed the medicine chest to the side of the small apprentice, and then followed the lotus incense to the Mu Lan forehead bedroom, this matter is done aboveboard, completely did not avoid anyone. Inside the

bedroom, Ji Jang Geum entered the bedroom, and the lotus incense naturally closed the door.

She paid her respects to Mu Lan: “I have seen the Crown Princess. She is a thousand years old.”

“Doctor Hsu, no courtesy.” Mu Lan opened his mouth calmly.

Ji Jang Geum stood, not speaking on his own initiative, waiting for Mu Lan to continue to ask. Mu Lan slowly took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and then said lightly, “How is the situation of the side imperial concubine?”

Mu Lan asked Mu Zhihua, in fact, it is reasonable, after all, is the hostess of the East Palace, involving the East Palace, Mu Lan should ask.

Waiting for so long to ask is already indifferent.

Ji Chang-jin, on the other hand, did not hide anything: “I would like to report to you that the condition of the imperial concubine is not very stable, and her fetal image is not stable. Now she is lying in bed all day long, and if she walks around at will, the consequences will be unthinkable.”

Ji Jang Geum said directly.

Mu Zhihua is pregnant, thanks to the palace, but always outside the palace, the child has been lost nine times out of ten. But if this situation continues, no one knows what will happen.

“Very serious?” Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows and asked again faintly.

Ji Jang Geum pondered: “As long as the imperial concubine doesn’t get angry and can lie obediently on the bed all the time, then the probability is that she can be born safely.”

“What is the probability?” Mu Lan asked again.

“Half.” Ji Jang Geum tells the truth.

Mu Lan only half smiled. Then she lifted her eyelids and looked at Ji Jang Geum. “My concubine is four months pregnant now, isn’t she?”

“Yes.” Ji Jang Geum answered.

“What if the child is lost?” Mu Lan said coldly, as if he was just talking about ordinary topics.

Ji Jang Geum’s eyes did not change at all, and he was very calm: “It’s normal to lose it, but the bigger the month, the more dangerous it is.”

…… The conversation between the

two people is always a question and answer.

Mu Lan also asked what the topic of fire, Ji Jang Geum did not answer any inappropriate questions, and the dialogue between the two came to an abrupt end.

Mu Lan did not speak again.

Ji Jang Geum looked at Mu Lan, nodded, then quietly retreated, Mu Lan did not stop, the mind is thinking of Ji Jang Geum’s words. It’s normal for

the child to fall off. The bigger the

month, the more dangerous it is. She smiled coldly in her

heart, but it was not Mu Lan who wanted to start on Mu Zhihua in this matter, which Li Shiyuan clearly warned Mu Lan, Mu Lan would not be foolish enough to hit the muzzle again.

Because as long as Mu Zhihua’s child is lost, then this matter must be counted on his own head, without any suspense.

Unless it’s an accident in full view of the public.

And this public eye is not a person in the East Palace.

But according to Mu Lan’s understanding of Mu Zhihua, even if desperate, she will protect the child, after all, that is the last trump card of Mu Zhihua.

So, the bigger the month of Ji Jang Geum, the more dangerous it is, it is worth pondering. Mu Zhihua half of the probability can be safe, half of the probability is uncertain life and death, in this case, Mu Lan will wait and see what happens.

Quiet, Mu Lan continued to bow his head and drink tea, with delicate dots on one side.

Until Hexiang came in.

“Young lady.” He Xiang called Mu Lan.

Mu Lan did not lift his eyelids and motioned to Hexiang to go on.

He Xiang did not hesitate: “Little Cui is missing.”

Mu Lan twisted eyebrows, some can not remember, who is the small Cui in the mouth of the lotus fragrance, not to mention the whole palace, even the slaves in the East Palace are countless, Mu Lan except close, and did not bother to remember whose name.

Now, Mu Lan looked up at the lotus fragrance.

He Xiang seemed to swallow a mouthful of saliva and then said, “Little Cui is the maid next to Concubine Zhen. Yesterday I came to the East Palace to pay my respects to you.” Now

Mu Lan has an impression.

Zhen Fei is the emperor’s side of the imperial concubine, if the words of seniority, Zhen Fei is naturally older than Mu Lan generation, belongs to the elders. Only in age, Zhen Fei is only a few years older than Mu Lan.

Young and vigorous, unable to hold one’s breath.

Come to the East Palace to pay your respects, but the people of the mother’s family want Zhen Fei to please Mu Lan, after all, Mu Lan is now the red man in the palace, but when Zhen Fei came, Mu Lan did not see, this matter is sent to Lianxin to do.

Small Cui and even the heart of the concern seems to be good, small Cui is in front of everyone, although not named, but everyone can hear, small Cui said is Mu Lan.

And even after the death of the heart, the small Cui unexpectedly also disappeared?

This matter is worth pondering.

Although Lian Xin was ordered by Li Shiyuan, everyone with a discerning eye knew that Lian Xin had offended Mu Lan. Search easy, small Cui missing if spread, then I’m afraid this matter is also counted on the body of Mu Lan.

But it happened that there was no one in the palace, which was a normal thing.

The minions all know that it will only make everyone feel more insecure.

“Missing?” Mu Lan this just had a reaction, twist eyebrow to ask lotus fragrance.

He Xiang nodded earnestly, “It’s Xiao Cui who disappeared from the palace of Concubine Zhen last night.”. In addition, Little Cui was the maid of the imperial concubine, and the empress couldn’t get to Little Cui early in the morning, so there was a lot of trouble.

“Does it have anything to do with me?” Mu Lan asked in reply. Stunned,

he shook his head. “It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a young lady.”

Mu Lan hum.

He Xiang understood that what Mu Lan meant was that this was the end of the matter and there was no need to say any more. She was not very interested in the disappearance of a slave in the palace.

Hexiang did not dare to speak again.

But Ho-hsiang always felt uneasy, and finally she couldn’t help saying, “Young lady, all the slaves outside are saying that Little Cui offended you at the East Palace.” The implication is

that this matter still has something to do with Mulan, but there is no evidence.

“Lian Xin died so miserably.” Mu Lan smiled. “Not to mention the East Palace, any slave in this palace feels insecure.”. Since it is said outside that this man has offended me, naturally this unwarranted accusation is also on my head.

He Xiang repeatedly nodded, “That’s right.”. Young lady, this matter.. You can’t stop

people’s mouths. The more you stop them, the more you prove that you have a guilty conscience. Since it’s something we haven’t done, why should we care? Mu Lan said lightly, “There are too many things in the palace that can’t be explained. If you put them all on yourself, it’s easy to explain yourself.”

After all, if you say too much, it will come true. If

you jump down foolishly, you will become a scapegoat.

As for how Xiao Cui died, Mu Lan had no idea to ask.

He Xiang listens to Mu Lan to say so, this just nods, also did not open a mouth to say what again, quiet in Mu Lan side to wait on.

Little Cui’s disappearance seemed to have never been mentioned.

This thing is turning the page.

After all, Zhen Fei has never been favored, and if she is favored, she will not have to go to Mu Lan to pay her respects. Xiao Cui is a slave beside Zhen Fei, and no one will remember her.

At best, I just chatted for a while and took it with me. No

one cares about it.

……

Seven days later

, it was the day when Mu Lan returned home. In the tradition

of Dazhou, when a girl goes out and returns home, she does not require her husband to follow her, but judging the status of a girl’s family in her husband’s family depends on how grand the girl goes home.

That kind of lonely shadow, you can imagine.

Mu Lan married into the East Palace, the Lord of the East Palace is the prince of Dazhou, the prince is busy on weekdays, everyone knows, naturally everyone thought that Li Shiyuan could not return to the door with Mu Lan.

This matter, in Mu Lan’s view, could not be more natural.

Because in his last life, Li Shiyuan never returned to the door with himself. Even Mu Zhihua, Li Shiyuan never accompanied him. After all, in Li Shiyuan’s heart, a woman is just an accessory. Compared with her power and position, she is far from it.

If he could exchange women for power and position, Li Shiyuan would probably not hesitate to send out the people around him.

Mu Zhihua is no exception.

As a result, Mu Lan was surprised in this life.

When Mu Lan wanted to leave the palace, Li Shiyuan appeared unexpectedly, which made Mu Lan stunned for a moment, standing in place, looking at Li Shiyuan, there was no reaction for a while.

But soon, Mu Lan calmed down: “I have seen your Highness.”

The rest of the words, Mu Lan did not ask, Li Shiyuan also does not mind, step by step toward Mu Lan, until Mu Lan stood in front of him: “Today back to the door?”

“Yes.” Mu Lan answered, “It’s an auspicious day at noon. I want to arrive at Prince Mu’s mansion before noon.”

Li Shi-yuan quieted down. “How long?”

“Three days.” Mu Lan answered.

Indeed is three days, this is not Mu Lan casually said, big week woman back to the door, not only to visit their parents, but also to the ancestors incense, by the way to the temple for peace, there are some gifts to close relatives, these rules, one can not be saved. Women who

marry into the palace can only go out for three days.

Three days later, it is really a lifetime in the palace, there is no possibility of leaving.

The king himself will take you to Prince Mu’s mansion and have lunch with you before returning to the palace. Three days later, I’ll meet you at Prince Mu’s mansion. Li Shiyuan opened his mouth unexpectedly.

Mu Lan was obviously surprised.

That expression is good not to hide on the face, looking at Li Shiyuan also slightly twisted eyebrows, as if really do not quite understand what Li Shiyuan is thinking.

Instead, it was Li Shiyuan who took the initiative and said, “What’s the matter? My beloved concubine doesn’t like the king to accompany you?”

“That’s not true.” Mu Lan smiled, “Your Highness accompanied me back to the door, is the supreme glory of my concubine, presumably Mu Wang Fu will also follow the glory.”. It’s just that your Highness is busy with his official duties, and I really didn’t expect your Highness to take the initiative to accompany my concubine.

Li Shiyuan seemed to be in a good mood to be complimented by Mu Lan and laughed happily. Unable to

tell whether it was frivolous or provocative, he scraped the tip of Mu Lan’s nose.

Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows.

But in the end, Mu Lan did not say anything, even though she did not like Li Shiyuan’s intimate behavior.

Soon, Mu Lan was blessed, but he said hypocritically, “My concubine, thank you for your grace.”

Li Shiyuan brushed his sleeves and helped Mu Lan up in person. Naturally, he hugged Mu Lan’s waist and took Mu Lan away from the East Palace and set off for Mu Wang Fu.

This matter spread like wildfire, the palace spread a hubbub, this is not a rare thing, but because Li Shiyuan personally accompanied, it is enough to explode in the calm palace.

Mulan’s position is self-evident.

But in such a self-evident, the silent discussion in the palace, also gradually emerged on the head, but only the discussion between slaves, and did not spread. Do

you know that Xiaojin is also missing?

[Really? Xiaojin works Imperial Kitchen, and seldom walks around in various palaces. How could she suddenly disappear?

[I heard that Xiaojin was transferred to the small kitchen of the East Palace during this period, but the East Palace was not very satisfied with the meals sent out by the small kitchen during this period, and Xiaojin was punished a lot.]

Is it the Crown Princess?

Do you dare to say that your head will fall?

……

Not only Xiaojin, I also heard that a little eunuch from Office of Respected Administrative Affairs has disappeared. Does it have anything

to do with the one in the East Palace?

I don’t know if it’s true or not. It’s said that when the eunuch went to Fengluan Palace to pay his respects, he bumped into her carelessly and disappeared.

[My God..]

…… The successive disappearances of slaves in the

palace, although only private discussions, and these slaves seem to be in addition to small Cui is the edge of Zhenfei, the rest are not superior slaves, but such an inexplicable disappearance, or people feel frightened, and all of this points to Mu Lan.

No one before the disappearance, and Mu Lan contact, more or less in their eyes, are offended Mu Lan.

Although Mu Lan did not say anything at the moment, although Mu Lan did not do anything.

But when Xiaolian was sent to the steamer, Mu Lan did nothing but borrow a knife to kill people.

In the preconceived ideas, these ideas have been imposed on Mu Lan, Mu Lan really do not know these things, because these things in Mu Lan’s view, is not worth remembering.

……

Prince Mu’s mansion.

Because of Mu Lan back to the door, Mu Wang Fu once again lively up, but Li Shiyuan’s words have been said in front, just accompany Mu Lan back to the door, and did not intend to see other irrelevant people, so those who want to come to the door to climb the fire, also followed the footsteps stopped.

Mu Hongyuan is not a fool, naturally understand the meaning of Li Shiyuan’s words, it is natural to stop people outside the Mu Wangfu.

Today’s return is just a family dinner.

But Mu Lan should do a lot of courtesy, plus Li Shiyuan in the side to follow, even Mu Hongyuan saw Mu Lan are respectfully please.

Even if Mu Hongyuan is Mu Lan’s biological father, but Mu Lan is today’s Crown Princess, in the rank or higher than Mu Hongyuan, Mu Hongyuan please there is nothing inappropriate.

Mu Lan accepted it indifferently.

Mu Wang Fu’s family banquet, also appears to be lively, Mu Lan few words, just quiet in the edge of Li Shiyuan, Li Shiyuan from time to time will look at Mu Lan, as if the love.

Such a picture, see Mu Hongyuan is a burst of joy.

Inevitably, I had a few more drinks. During the

banquet, there were many chats between Mu Hongyuan and Li Shiyuan, but they all talked about insignificant things. After all, there was Mu Lan present during the banquet, and women naturally could not ask about things in the court.

It was not until after lunch that Li Shiyuan left Prince Mu’s mansion.

Mu Lan personally took Li Shiyuan to the gate of the palace and said, “I would like to see the prince off.”

Li Shiyuan was not in a hurry to leave. He stood in front of Mu Lan and looked down at him. Suddenly he pinched Mu Lan’s chin and said, “Be a good boy and wait for the king to come and pick you up, eh?”

“My concubine knows.” Mu Lan answered lightly.

See Mu Lan clever, Li Shiyuan’s mood is good, he suddenly bowed his head, in Mu Lan’s lips kissed, Mu Lan’s eyebrows flashed a trace of disgust, but in front of Li Shiyuan, Mu Lan still appears to be more calm.

There seems to be a trace of the newlywed’s coyness.

Li Shiyuan laughed out loud with pleasure.

Then Li Shiyuan turned over and got on the horse, quickly riding away, Mu Lan stood in place watching Li Shiyuan leave, as if to send, but the indifference in his eyebrows and eyes became more and more obvious, even with a trace of cruelty.

Her hand touched her lips lightly.

It’s really dirty and a little annoying.

Then, Mu Lan turned and walked into the palace.

These three days, Mu Lan originally did not intend to leave Mu Wang Fu, not to mention the identity of the present, after the big wedding, Kyoto called the name of the people all know the identity of Mu Lan, not to mention Li Shiyuan those who send their own side of the shadow guard, as well as the Mu Wang Fu three layers outside the three layers of the big master. It

is nominally to protect the safety of Mu Lan, but in fact it is also supervision. How can

Mu Lan not understand this truth. Mu Lan won’t do anything to

draw fire.

But outside the shop, has Wang shopkeeper in, Mu Lan does not need to worry.

Rouge gouache shop is a source of wealth, for Mu Lan earned a lot of silver, plus Li Shiyu this duplicitous, she simply can not worry.

Instead, it was the embroidery room that made Mu Lan sink.

Wang shopkeeper let people come to the news, embroidery room recently came a lot of people in the palace, seems to be to make a decision, but it seems to be testing something, finally let Wang shopkeeper to push. I’m afraid it was at least two days before Grandfather

Cheng knew about it.

Later, Mu Lan did not get any news.

Mu Lan calmly walked toward the palace, her mind quickly filtered what had happened during this period of time, she first saw in the palace of Qu Huachang the Li family’s picture album of wedding clothes.

Secondly, Li Shiyuan through the embroidery room set the wedding dress, Mu Lan transferred to Mu Zhihua, Mu Zhihua wore out, the people in the palace can see clearly.

That wedding dress, the embroidery method of the Li family is very obvious.

If Qu Huachang is really inextricably linked with the Li family, then Qu Huachang can not be aware of it, so the person who went to the embroidery room to test is Qu Huachang?

If this is really the case,

Mu Lan sank. She had already walked back to the Snow Building. He Xiang followed her in and poured water for Mu Lan. “Young lady, you drink a glass of water and then have a rest. You must be tired after a day of tossing and turning.”. The maidservant will bring you the supper into the house.

Mu Lan took the cup and did not answer.

Until the water in the cup was drunk up, Mu Lan did not dare to draw a conclusion easily.

But the lotus fragrance quietly retreated out, also did not quarrel with Mu Lan.

Mu Lan is really a little tired.

This sleep directly into the evening, before gradually waking up.

But the moment Mu Lan opened her eyes, her nerves became sharp, and before she could make a move, her hand was firmly wrapped. “Lie down with me for a while,” said a

low voice.

Mulan looked at the man on his bed in disbelief. When did

Li Shiyu come so quietly that she had no feeling at all. Are you really too tired? Or because in the snow building, let Mu Lan’s vigilance also followed the reduction. Listening to Li Shiyu’s words

again, Mu Lan was neither salty nor light: “Don’t you care about me, Your Highness?”? Since you don’t care, what are you doing here now?

“Sleep with you.” Li Shiyu said directly.

Mu Lan: “… …”

But Li Shiyu no longer has the meaning of conversation, always closed his eyes to rest, but the big hand naturally clasped Mu Lan’s waist, half forced to let Mu Lan accompany himself to lie down.

Mu Lan was quiet, and finally did not say anything, and lay down again.

But Mu Lan never fell asleep again.

It wasn’t until the sky outside the window was slightly heavy that Li Shiyu stood up and calmly said, “Pour a glass of water.”

Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu and said, “Your Highness, are you ordering me around?”

Li Shi-yu murmured, “With our relationship, can’t we?”

Mulan: “What’s the relationship between me and Your Highness?” Before

she had finished speaking, Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan and said, “What did I say?”

“What?” Mulan was completely unaware of it.

Li Shiyu, however, did not mind reminding Mu Lan: “Call me by my first name, not by the name of Your Highness.” Now

, Mu Lan coughed lightly.

Called Li Shiyu’s name, is not not called, but when two people together, Mu Lan is always difficult to say, can not say is shy or other emotions, but not as good as the four people come down to let people carefree.

Faced with Li Shiyu’s strength, Mu Lan simply shook off the man’s hand, turned over and got out of bed, and quickly poured a glass of water for the man.

Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan with a half-smile, and then quietly took over. Both of

them slept in their clothes. When he

got up, Mu Lan just had a little messy hair, and Li Shiyu was like a person who had nothing to do, but Mu Lan did not tidy up his hair, and naturally took Li Shiyu’s cup.

She put the cup away and then calmly said, “How did Your Highness get here?”

Mu Lan still didn’t change his story.

“I want to come to you. When can’t I come?” Li Shiyu asked in reply.

Mu Lan quieted down and laughed angrily.

Is also, in the phoenix Luan palace, this person is unscrupulous, not to mention now is in Mu Wang Fu. Probably in addition to the East Palace, Li Shiyu can not be unscrupulous, other places, Li Shiyu is really no scruples. The

air in the room was quiet.

No one broke the silence.

Li Shiyu in Mu Lan’s house, just like in his own house, is much more calm, but also seems to be sure that Mu Lan will not do anything, just looking at Mu Lan’s eyes, Li Shiyu sank, with a touch of deep meaning.

Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows.

“Several minions have died in the palace recently.” Li Shiyu suddenly opened his mouth.

“Ha ha,” said Mu Lan with a half-smile. “It seems that His Royal Highness has had nothing to do recently. Even a few slaves have died in the palace, and they can care so much about it? I thought the emperor would summon the four royal Highnesses every day, and the four royal Highnesses would have no way to divide themselves, after all, the prince is also eyeing covetously.

But Mu Lan knew very well in his heart that Li Shiyu would not mention this matter to himself for no reason.

Does this mean anything?

Mu Lan sank.

Before he could ask, there was a knock on the door outside. Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu, but Li Shiyu didn’t mean to move.

And the person who knocks on the door outside the house is the lotus fragrance, Mu Lan also knows.

He Xiang brought dinner to Mu Lan. Everything about

Mu Lan is done by Hexiang herself.

So, even if the lotus incense know Li Shiyu here, will not say a word more, besides, this period of time, even if the lotus incense reaction again slow, more or less can also feel that Mu Lan and Li Shiyuan is not so love on the surface.

And Mu Lan has someone in the bottom of his heart, the lotus fragrance also understands, just can’t guess it.

Sink, see Li Shiyu did not intend to hide, Mu Lan also did not intend to hide, simply went to the door to open the door.

Hexiang did not notice anyone in the room, came in with dinner, and then Hexiang saw Li Shiyu, was surprised to almost drop the plate in his hand.

Four.. Your Highness Four.. How did you get here? He Xiang’s voice became stammering and his face was shocked.

Li Shiyu took a very light look at the lotus fragrance, as if she had asked a big silly question.

This, the lotus fragrance is very natural to associate all together, and then the lotus fragrance dare not say a word, quickly put down the plate, quickly retreated out.

Li Shi-yu looked at it calmly: “Are you going to prepare it for me?”

Your Highness, it’s not normal to be prepared. Inside this palace, the three layers inside and three layers outside are all the people of the prince’s Highness. Doesn’t the fourth Highness feel that this is a big deal? Mu Lan asked Li Shiyu with an expressionless face.

Then, Mu Lan also ignored Li Shiyu’s meaning and sat down to eat.

Li Shiyu saw that there was no sound, did not say anything, very naturally sat at the table, leisurely picked up Mu Lan’s chopsticks, very naturally to pick up their own food.

“The taste is acceptable.” Eat it, and at the end, don’t forget to have a fair price.

Mu Lan: “… …”

This man is too casual.

And Li Shiyu not only commented, but also said, “Lan’er can please the Empress Dowager. You know, the Empress Dowager’s taste in the palace is the most fastidious, even more fastidious than her father. When the imperial chefs saw the Empress Dowager, they were all frightened. Lan’er didn’t make any mistakes, so this cooking skill is also very good.”

Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows, and the action of eating paused.

Li Shiyu is very cooperative to send the green beans directly to the mouth of Mu Lan, raised eyebrows to signal Mu Lan to continue to eat.

Mu Lan took a bite angrily.

She found that when Li Shiyu was serious about himself, Mu Lan could deal with nature with ease. When Li Shiyu was shameless, Mu Lan had no way to take Li Shiyu.

Like right now.

But Li Shiyu’s words were still faint: “When will the king be able to eat the food cooked by Lan Er himself?”

Mu Lan: “… …”

She put down the spoon, suddenly looked at Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu raised eyebrows, as if waiting for Mu Lan to continue to speak.

“Do you have eyes next to me?” Mu Lan didn’t even bother to use honorifics this time.

This, in the East Palace when Li Shiyuan and himself said, turned back to Mu Wangfu, Li Shiyu and himself suddenly said again.

I don’t know whether to compete with Li Shiyuan or with myself.

But Mu Lan’s words made Li Shiyu half smile and lean back lazily in his chair. What he said was even more irresponsible: “Lan’er is so smart, guess what.”

Mulan: “I can’t guess.”

She answered directly.

But Mu Lan’s heart is another idea, if really Li Shiyu can place people in the East Palace, this means that Li Shiyu has already deployed almost, everything is ready, owe is just the east wind.

Her mind was rapidly filtering through everyone in the East Palace.

But Mu Lan never thought who it would be.

“It’s not a good thing for you that the prince has given death to his heart.” Suddenly, Li Shiyu lightly changed the topic, apparently no idea to tell Mu Lan, who is his eyeliner in the East Palace.

Mu Lan also did not ask much, this word, let Mu Lan narrow up the eye slightly, understood the meaning in Li Shiyu’s words at a draught.

She said in a deep voice, “So your Highness is telling me that I have something to do with the recent disappearance of the slaves in the palace?”? The hat naturally fell on me.

Li Shiyu hummed, but did not deny: “These slaves seem to have nothing to do with the East Palace, but they are more or less inextricably linked with you.”

Mu Lan’s brows tightened even more. What’s the connection

to her. What

these slaves look like, Mu Lan has no impression, besides, Mu Lan is ruthless, will not implicate innocent. For the slaves in the palace, Mu Lan had some compassion.

Why get your hands dirty for the sake of someone who has nothing to do with you.

“These minions had a problem with you before they disappeared.” Li Shi-yu, however, calmly continued to speak. “Maybe you didn’t come forward, but after all, you were wronged.”. For example, Little Cui, who is next to Concubine Zhen, has a good relationship with Lian Xin.

“And then?” Mu Lan thought it was too exaggerated.

“Xiaozhen was transferred to the back kitchen of the East Palace Imperial Kitchen, but in the past few days, you haven’t eaten much at the East Palace, so Xiaozhen has been punished.” Li Shiyu continued.

“The stuff at the East Palace is not to my taste.” Mulan said directly, “I don’t like heavy things.”

That’s what Li Shiyuan likes.

Mu Lan did not deliberately let people change habits, after all, Mu Lan is very clear, this place, she did not intend to stay, so the daily meal, Mu Lan just to deal with a few mouthfuls, let the lotus fragrance withdraw.

“But in the eyes of the father-in-law in charge, it’s just that the people in the kitchen are not doing a good job, and they haven’t been able to serve the Crown Princess well. After all, you are now the treasure of the Crown Prince.” Said this, Li Shiyu snorted, not knowing whether it was a taunt or something else.

Mu Lan’s eyebrows were completely twisted up.

Li Shiyu went on to say: “The several slaves who have disappeared one after another have all appeared more or less in the East Palace, or have been inextricably linked with you. Therefore, the disappearance of these slaves has become somewhat ambiguous.” Li Shiyu didn’t say much about the

rest.

Mu Lan did understand.

“So, it has something to do with me?” Mu Lan asked, “Did Your Highness come to remind me today?”

Li Shiyu was noncommittal.

Mu Lan sneered, “Your Highness, what if I really did these things?”? Are there few slaves missing in the palace? Who can remember who’s missing? Not for a period of time, a few days later, the person will be touched clean from the palace. Think of it as offending me, being in a bad mood, and taking care of a few minions. Is this going to bring me a disaster?

In the last life, Mu Lan saw how many people disappeared silently in front of him.

May be just a word accidentally said wrong, or accidentally collided with the master, the next day these people quietly disappeared from the palace.

This deep palace, stained with the number of people’s blood, even this piece of red walls, bricks and tiles, are red with blood, here was originally a killing field, mass graves.

But Mu Lan was not so sober. She looked at Li Shiyu again, and there was already a trace of calmness in her eyebrows and eyes: “Your Highness made a special trip to say this to me. Is there any purpose?”

Li Shiyu bowed his head and ate dinner seriously, as if he was not in a hurry to pay attention to Mu Lan.

Mu Lan also did not urge.

It was not until Li Shiyu had finished eating that he looked up at Mu Lan: “I’m afraid you’ve offended someone in the palace, and someone is going to attack you.”

“Condemn me by the death of a slave?” Mulan sneered, “That’s rather naive.”

Nature is naive. But this man is in the dark, and you are in the open. When a slave dies in the palace, no one dares to talk about it. But this time, it’s a rumor all over the sky. Even I heard it, let alone the people in the palace. Li Shi-yu said lightly, “I’m afraid the other side is not so simple. You still have to be careful in the palace. Don’t cause trouble again.”

Mu Lan narrowed his eyes slightly.

“Now the situation is uncertain, and your presence is not a stabilizing factor.” Li Shiyu points to the end.

Mu Lan’s brain quickly connected the dribs and drabs that happened after entering the palace during this period of time.

But there’s nothing out of the ordinary.

As Li Shiyu said, if the disappearance of these slaves is really aimed at themselves, then under such circumstances, this person has been in the dark, really can not guess what this person will do.

Mu Lan quieted down.

“Maybe it was just an accident.” Li Shiyu suddenly opened his mouth, as if to appease Mu Lan.

Mu Lan hum, but also did not say anything more.

Li Shiyu suddenly turned around, and Mu Lan face to face, Mu Lan quiet down, the heartbeat suddenly some fast, this person is too close to their own, close to let her feel flustered.

But on the surface, Mu Lan remained calm: “Your Highness, what are you doing?”

“Kiss you.” Li Shiyu said directly.

Just like the “sleeping with you” mentioned before, it is very open.

Voice fell, Li Shiyu has been homeopathic kiss up, Mu Lan passive bear such a kiss, also did not struggle.

It’s only seven days.

But Mu Lan felt that it had been a long time. Looking back

that day, to now, Mu Lan think of, the rest is only heartache, can not say the reason, waves of suffocation.

Then think of in the temple of ten thousand Buddhas, the little master’s words, Li Shiyu’s auspicious hidden evil, this person’s next sign.

That kind of heart mouth tight feeling, more and more obvious, pressing Mu Lan some breathing is not smooth.

Soon, she took the initiative to embrace the neck of Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu quiet, the response to Mu Lan is a more hot kiss.

At the moment, Li Shiyu is just an ordinary man, facing the woman he likes, it is impossible to be indifferent.

Until Li Shiyu loosened Mu Lan, Mu Lan’s forehead was covered with a thin sweat.

Mu Lan gasped for breath and looked at the handsome face close at hand. Suddenly he said with a smile, “Your Highness, do you think you should call me the Second Imperial Sister-in-law?”

This is with provocation, looking at Li Shiyu.

Sure enough, the man’s face darkened: “Mulan, are you provoking me?”

Mu Lan grunted and admitted it.

Such a provocation in exchange for Li Shiyu’s punishment, again and again, Mu Lan did not retreat, as if tomorrow would be the end, who no longer exists. Li Shiyu did not release Mu Lan

until they were comfortable with each other.

Mu Lan was still breathing heavily, while Li Shiyu propped himself up on the edge of the bed and looked down from a commanding position. “Did the prince touch you?”

“Touched.” Mu Lan’s face did not change color. “After all, the prince and I are the real matchmaker of the Ming Dynasty. At best, I’m having an affair with the four royal Highnesses.”. Why does Your Highness still want to argue with me about this?

Mulan did it on purpose.

Deliberately provoking Li Shiyu.

Perhaps Mu Lan did not quite understand why he was doing this.

As if not used to see Li Shiyu now calm appearance, as if he married into the East Palace, Li Shiyu is just carelessly dropped a warning, there is no other reaction.

It’s not as possessive as the man said.

Mu Lan always has a feeling that I don’t know if the shadow of the last life has always been there.

It seems that in Li Shiyu, she is just a person that Li Shiyu can easily send out, and there is no special meaning.

Such an idea, let Mu Lan put his heart blocked a burst of panic.

Can’t help but want to provoke Li Shiyu.

“Where did you touch it?” Li Shiyu asked lightly, as if there was no anger because of Mu Lan’s words.

Mu Lan was a little annoyed, but on the surface he still looked light: “The joy of the boudoir, do you still want to ask me?” With

that, Mu Lan pushed Li Shiyu away.

But the next moment, Li Shiyu suddenly pulled Mu Lan directly in front of him: “So now you’re provoking me?”

Mu Lan raised his eyebrows and seemed to smile.

It’s really a provocation.

Such a provocation, in exchange for Li Shiyu’s punishment, deep, heavy, completely do not give Mu Lan any chance to resist, almost to the whole person of Mu Lan are swallowed into it.

Mu Lan also bit the man like crazy.

Li Shiyu was in pain, but he didn’t say anything.

Two people are like two wild animals, who are not willing to let go of who, Mu Lan did not please, Li Shiyu as if deliberately, in Mu Lan’s body left countless marks.

But these marks are not deep, and they can disappear in two or three days.

And the marks on Li Shiyu’s body, as if he had been scratched by a wild cat, were all bloody, especially the teeth marks on his neck, which could not be covered even by a high-collar robe.

Not to mention the marks on your body. For

a long time, it was Li Shi-yu who laughed out loud: “Are you satisfied?”

Mu Lan is still panting, slightly squinting at Li Shiyu, do not know what Li Shiyu means, and Li Shiyu has reached out to pinch Mu Lan’s chin, Mu Lan can not move in an instant.

“Lan Er’s mouth is really duplicitous.” Li Shi-yu was half serious and half serious. “If the prince really wants to touch you, don’t you think I won’t notice?”

Mu Lan: “… …”

But Li Shiyu is still frivolous, almost clinging to Mu Lan, his thin lips biting on Mu Lan’s earlobe, and he opens his mouth word by word: “You are mine from top to bottom, from inside to outside.”

Then, Li Shiyu released Mu Lan.

Mu Lan stared at the man, but there was nothing he could do about it. Other things, Li Shiyu is very difficult to get any benefits from Mu Lan here, but this matter, Mu Lan can hardly get any benefits from Li Shiyu here.

She is like a blank sheet of paper, and nothing can be hidden.

Since Li Shiyu’s body can not get any benefits, Mu Lan is too lazy to talk nonsense with Li Shiyu, directly ignoring the existence of this person.

Li Shiyu doesn’t mind.

He stayed quietly in Mu Lan’s house, just as Mu Lan had not married into the palace, each of them occupied a position, neither of them disturbed the other, but they appeared in the same time and space in unusual harmony. Quiet

.

It was not until dawn that Li Shiyu left quietly when the top players outside took turns.

Mu Lan closed his eyes to sleep, as if pretending not to know, but this person’s every move, can clearly come into Mu Lan’s ears.

Almost at the moment when Li Shiyu left, Mu Lan had already sat up and looked out of the window quietly, which was still quiet and did not cause any noise.

Mulan knew that the man had left safely.

…… For the

next two days, it was the same.

Li Shiyu will appear in Mu Lan’s room in the evening, and the lotus fragrance has become very calm from the shock of the first day, the bowls and chopsticks are still only prepared, but the dishes are more, the weight is also more.

Mu Lan and Li Shiyu shared their food with the same set of bowls and chopsticks. At

night, two people are still doing their own things, almost never said a word, occasionally two people’s eyes will inadvertently collide together, and then, Mu Lan will look at Li Shiyu fair and square.

But Li Shiyu just held the unofficial history in his hand and watched it quietly.

It was not until Li Shi-yu suddenly said, “Did you go to the Autumn Festival?”

Mu Lan quieted down and gave the answer: “The crown prince has not gone. As the crown princess, I must also stay in the palace.”

This is a reasonable practice.

Unless there is any special reason, otherwise the autumn festival, Mu Lan is impossible to leave.

If Li Shiyuan followed, it also means that Li Shiyuan was completely pulled down from the core area of power, so no matter which point, it is impossible to establish.

This truth, Mu Lan understands, Li Shiyu cannot not understand.

But at the thought of the Autumn Festival, Mu Lan still had a premonition of uneasiness in her heart. It took her a long time to look at Li Shiyu seriously: “Your Highness is outside. Take care of yourself. Remember to be careful in everything.”

Li Shiyu glanced at Mu Lan. When

Mu Lan thought this man was going to molest him again, Li Shiyu suddenly said lightly, “Mu Lan, why does Ben Wang always feel that a lot of things are within your prediction?” This

is not the first time Li Shiyu has asked Mu Lan this question, but Mu Lan’s answer is always the same: “Your Highness thinks too much, and it is human nature to remind Your Highness to be cautious.”

Superfluous words, Mu Lan did not explain again.

Li Shiyu didn’t ask much.

Until nightfall, Li Shiyu personally helped Mu Lan change clothes, and then took off the jewelry on his hair accessories one by one. Seeing that Mu Lan’s hair accessories were always carrying the hairpin he had sent, Li Shiyu’s thin lips rose slightly.

“Why aren’t you wearing a jade bracelet?” Li Shiyu suddenly asked.

Mulan quieted down: “It’s too eye-catching.” The

palace is a place of right and wrong, just as Mu Lan can find a wedding dress of the Li family hidden in the wardrobe of Qu Huachang, there is no guarantee that no one knows that the jade bracelet belongs to the deceased Rong Fei.

As long as one person finds out, it will be out of control. For the sake of

safety, Mu Lan is impossible to wear, besides, once the jade bracelet is put on, it is very difficult to take off, Mu Lan does not need to find such trouble for himself. Li Shiyu also understood

this truth. “One day, the king will let you wear it fair and square,” he said after a while.

Mu Lan was stunned and blurted out, “How long?”

“Within three months.” Li Shiyu’s answer was firm and forceful without a trace of hesitation.

Mu Lan suddenly looked at Li Shiyu, in Li Shiyu’s words, she read, the time to happen in the last life, has been abruptly advanced by Li Shiyu.

This autumn festival.

“Four Your Highnesses..” It took Mu Lan a long time to open his mouth, but he also shouted.

Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan quietly. “Wait in the palace. I’ll pick you up.” A word that

is neither light nor heavy is already a heavy promise.

Mu Lan’s heart suddenly tightened, and then he quietly answered, “Good.”

Li Shiyu also did not say much, this night, he left early, and tomorrow, is the time for Mu Lan to return to the palace, suddenly, Mu Lan felt that this time, fast like running water, disappeared in the blink of an eye. The days

in the palace are like years.

Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu to leave the figure, low under the eyebrows, this autumn sacrifice, after all, still let Mu Lan put down, she still has to think about the reason to go.

I always thought something would happen.

It was a long time before Mu Lan returned to bed and closed his eyes to rest.

……

Yu Wang Fu.

Li Shiyu stood in his study, with Rong Si quietly following him. “Your Highness,” he said in a low voice, “the palace has been very peaceful since Miss Mu came back.” The implication is

that nothing happened again.

This instead did not let Li Shiyu put down the heart to come, the eye light slightly sank, took a trace of deep.

“As for what happened before, we can’t find any clues at the moment. The palace is too big, and our people can’t search it wantonly, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.” Rong Si continued.

Li Shiyu hum, did not say much. In any case, the

palace is not Li Shiyu’s chassis after all, and compared with Li Shiyuan, they are much weaker in the palace.

What’s more, now the grass and trees are all soldiers, any action can make Li Shiyuan become more cautious, they are outside, just one step away from getting the most complete list that they have been trying to get for so many years.

Naturally, we can’t make any more mistakes.

Your Highness, besides, it’s perfectly normal for a slave to die in the palace. No matter whose side of the slave, may have nothing to do with this master, does not mean that do not offend other masters. Or, in the course of doing things, he offended someone in charge and disappeared quietly. There are too many slaves in the palace. If they die, they die. No one will notice.

Rong Si finished his words quietly, and then stopped talking.

Li Shiyu stood with his hands on his back. He was quiet for a while before he went on to say, “The key to this matter is why these slaves died, but there was a lot of noise in the palace.”. If we don’t all live in the palace and know it clearly, then wouldn’t the people in the palace know it even better?

This makes Rong Si slightly twist his eyebrows.

So it’s really not normal.

However, this matter is strange as if it has nothing to do with anyone.

“Let the king continue his investigation.” Li Shi-yu ordered in a low voice, “Live to see people, die to see corpses.”

“Yes.” Although Rong Si felt that it was not inappropriate, he accepted it. Having been with

Li Shi-yu for many years, the Rong Temple is very clear about Li Shi-yu’s way of doing things. In the past few days of investigation, it has always been in line with the practice of “living to see people, dying to see corpses,” but neither people nor corpses have been seen.

This makes people feel incredible. When the slaves in the

palace died, they were basically thrown to the ten thousand burial hills in Tongxian County in the eastern suburbs, where I don’t know how many ghosts in the palace were buried.

And in Tongxian County, they also sent people there, but there was no movement.

If these bodies are not in Tongxian County, in the palace, but they can not find people, it can only prove that this matter is done by a high-ranking person in the palace, can be hidden to the point of seamless.

It’s just, what’s the use of hiding a body?

Just a few minions?

Rong Si was also somewhat puzzled, but eventually he retreated respectfully and did not open his mouth again.

And Li Shiyu always stood with his hands on his back, standing quietly by the window, silent.

Li Shiyu has lived in that palace since he was a child. He knows better than anyone that the more calm things seem in the palace, the more storms are brewing.

Everything is just the calm before the storm.

An open spear is easy to hide and a hidden arrow is difficult to guard against. This is a more ancient and invariable truth.

Li Shiyu lowered his eyebrows and did not say a word more. The night

outside the window is still calm.

……

The second day.

Mu Lan back to the door three days have passed, today is the time for Mu Lan back to the palace, Mu Hongyuan personally sent Mu Lan to the door of the mansion, not to mention Li Shiyuan, personally to meet Mu Lan back to the palace.

This is a great honor in the eyes of the people of Dazhou.

Chen butler to Mu Lan mat, Mu Lan holding the hand of the lotus incense, on the carriage, the lotus incense respectfully stood on the side of the carriage.

Mu Lan nodded slightly to Chen butler.

Chen nodded with a respectful look on his face and said, “I’ll see the Crown Princess off.”

Sent out of the house slaves, also knelt on the ground, huge.

Mu Hung-yuan bowed his head and said, “I would like to see the Crown Princess off.”

Mu Lan then said lightly, “Let’s all get up.”

“Thank you, Crown Princess.” The slaves on the ground got up.

Li Shiyuan did not urge Mu Lan every time, waiting patiently, until Mu Lan and Mu Wangfu’s villains said goodbye one by one, Li Shiyuan looked at the eunuch manager in front of him.

Soon, Grandfather Li’s shrill voice came to mind: “Drive back to the palace.” The wheels of the

carriage turned slowly, and gradually moved away from the people in front of the Prince Mu’s mansion until they disappeared.

Mu Wangfu people are very clear, this time, I am afraid that will never see again. The walls of the

palace cut off all peeping eyes.

It’s a symbol of identity and status.

Only Chen butler calmly watched Mu Lan leave, in Mu Lan’s eyes, Chen butler clearly read, back to the palace will not be farewell, or even will soon see again.

But butler Chen didn’t ask a word more.

Since Gu Fu brought Mu Lan back to the present, Chen butler from the initial forced to follow, to the present loyalty, that is a kind of abnormal state of mind.

No one knows better than Chen butler, Mu Lan’s strategy, Mu Lan’s calm, Mu Lan’s step by step.

You don’t need to ask too much. What you can do is to wait quietly.

Mu Lan seems to be brewing something. After the

carriage had gone away, the butler returned to the palace with Mu Hongyuan, and the atmosphere of the palace became very quiet again.

……

Mu Lan back to the palace, the people of the East Palace naturally dare not neglect, not to mention, Mu Lan or Li Shiyuan personally to pick up, this has clearly told the people in the palace, the status of Mu Lan.

When Mu Lan’s sedan chair stopped, the people of the East Palace were already waiting outside the palace, kneeling on the ground and paying their respects.

Li Shiyuan brushed his sleeves, and the slaves got up and stood on both sides.

But Li Shiyuan himself went to the side of the soft sedan chair and said, “My beloved concubine, the king will help you down.”

“I thank you, Your Highness.” Mu Lan smiled softly at Li Shiyuan.

Like a trip out of the palace, also let Mu Lan’s mood a lot better, Li Shiyuan naturally also felt, he looked at his bright eyes in front of him, that kind of restless feeling also followed more and more obvious.

Three months? That’s a little long.

But Li Shiyuan also knows very well that for Mu Lan, the pleasure of conquest is far above everything else.

At the moment of Mu Lan’s landing, Li Shiyuan’s hand suddenly pinched Mu Lan’s chin, and Mu Lan quieted down, as if obediently looking at Li Shiyuan.

“I haven’t seen her for three days, but she’s in a good mood.” Li Shiyuan opened his mouth lightly.

“When I went back to see my father and grandmother, I was naturally happy. After all, if you go to the palace, it won’t be so easy to see them.” Mu Lan is telling the truth. “Besides, my grandmother and father have always loved my concubines, and they can’t pay their respects every day. My concubines also feel guilty.”

“You do have filial piety.” Li Shi-yuan raised his eyebrows and rubbed his calloused fingers under Mu Lan’s chin. “If you want Lord Mu and Lady Mu, the king will send someone to let them into the palace. Naturally, they can stay in the palace for a few days.”

This is Li Shiyuan’s promise to Mu Lan.

Mu Lan calmly and calmly blessed the body: “I thank your Highness for your favor.”

Li Shiyuan looked down at Mu Lan, helped her up, and did not shy away from the main entrance of the East Palace, bowed his head, and naturally bit Mu Lan’s red lips.

Mu Lan is calm on the surface, but in the heart regarding such intimacy, actually appears extremely hates.

Then Li Shiyuan released Mu Lan, his thin lips still clinging to hers, and said clearly word by word: “As long as the beloved concubine is obediently in the East Palace, what the beloved concubine wants, the king will naturally send to the beloved concubine.”

“Mulan remember your Highness’s instruction.” Mu Lan promised by correspondence. Only then did

Li Shiyuan hum and let go of Mu Lan.

Then, he hugged Mu Lan’s waist intimately, took Mu Lan to the East Palace, and the slave behind him hurried up.

But Li Shiyuan did not stay in the Aidong Palace, out of the palace to personally pick up Mu Lan, has wasted not a good time, now every day for Li Shiyuan, is a race against time.

There is no time to spend on such love.

Mu Lan is already an accident for Li Shiyuan.

After Li Shiyuan left, Mu Lan appeared to be very calm, accompanied by the lotus fragrance, quickly returned to his bedroom. The slaves in the

bedroom had already tidied up, and when they saw Mu Lan coming in, they knelt down to pay their respects, with a respectful attitude, without any more compliance.

Even the death of the heart is still vivid in my mind.

And the slaves who kept disappearing in the palace a few days ago all pointed to Mu Lan.

They are afraid that the next person to disappear silently is themselves, and naturally they dare not do it again in front of Mu Lan.

Mu Lan nodded, in front of the slaves quickly got up, and did not follow Mu Lan to the bedroom, soon scattered away, busy with their own hands.

On the contrary, Hexiang, who was following Mu Lan, slightly twisted her eyebrows and went all the way to the bedroom. Then Hexiang whispered, “Young lady, you’ve only been away for three days. How can these slaves be as afraid as if they had seen a ghost when they see you?”

Mu Lan naturally felt it. Although

these people are not as blatant as Lianxin, they are all from the East Palace after all. On the surface, there are still some private hands and feet, but they are not so obvious.

Now this fear is obvious.

Naturally, Mu Lan thought of what Li Shiyu had said to herself in the palace, and she sank.

I’m afraid it has something to do with the rumors in the palace these days.

Therefore, Li Shiyu’s worry is not unreasonable, she may be quietly, has been involved in a conspiracy, but in the present situation, Mu Lan has no way to know what kind of conspiracy will be. Everything is just a rumor until the man in the

dark reveals his cards.

Young lady? Will something happen? Hexiang was nervous and immediately asked again.

“Are you afraid?” Mu Lan answered.

He Xiang shook her head and said, “I’m not afraid. I’m afraid something will happen to the young lady.”

“No.” Mu Lan said lightly, “Remember, Hexiang, no matter what happens to me next, you stay in the bedroom honestly, don’t leave, don’t touch anyone, and don’t say one more word to anyone that you shouldn’t say. Protect yourself first.”

“The maidservant knows.” Hexiang nodded at once.

“Your Highness will take you out.” Mu Lan opened his mouth calmly.

If everything is really irreparable, then Li Shiyu will inevitably take the lotus fragrance to leave, although Mu Lan has never explained, but Mu Lan knows, really come to this step, as long as Li Shiyu is still there, he will take all the people on his side out.

He Xiang was a little nervous by Mu Lan’s words, but he nodded cleverly and kept silent.

Mu Lan did not say anything more.

The East Palace was restored to order, and Mu Lan returned to the palace, still as before, paying his respects to Qu Huachang and the queen mother every day. Their

attitudes are naturally quite different.

Mu Lan is always calm. In

a flash, Mu Lan also returned to the palace for more than two days.

Apart from greeting, Mu Lan did not walk around, has been in the East Palace, most of the time in the bedroom reading, quiet.

The East Palace is still crowded.

From time to time, someone would come to pay his respects to Mu Lan, not to mention the rare treasures sent, which almost piled up Mu Lan’s bedroom tightly.

But Mu Lan also just looked at it lightly, and did not have much interest. He

just told the lotus incense to put it away.

And these people who come to see, Mu Lan is also to see the mood, and many people are in Mu Lan here to eat the closed door, and then leave, there is always indignation, but because of Mu Lan’s identity and status, also dare not say anything more.

Lotus incense is also more clear, Mu Lan what people meet, what people do not see, unnecessary people, lotus incense even communication has been omitted.

Mu Lan is also happy to relax.

She did not expect that the lotus fragrance of this life was much calmer than that of the previous life.

She clearly remembered that the last life of the lotus fragrance always seemed reckless and panicked, and this life of the lotus fragrance was much calmer, probably in the Mu Wangfu, to see more excitement, naturally followed by peace of mind.

In his last life, he Xiang followed Mu Lan into the palace, and until Mu Lan died, he Xiang lived in a frightened environment.

The result can be imagined.

Mu Lan lowered his head and looked at the lotus fragrance wandering outside the East Palace with ease. Suddenly, he felt that it seemed to be a good idea to bring the lotus fragrance into the palace.

Suddenly

Mu Lan was quiet.

She saw the eunuch beside the queen mother come in a hurry, whispered a few words in the ear of the lotus incense, the lotus incense has quickly turned back toward Mu Lan’s bedroom. When he

pushed the door open and entered, he said quietly, “Young lady, the Empress Dowager asks you to come over.”

Mu Lan hum.

The queen mother suddenly called herself, but let Mu Lan have no idea in her heart. After all, this morning, she just came back from the queen mother, if the queen mother has something to order, this morning will say, there is no need to wait until now to specially let people to pass themselves to the Phoenix Luan Palace.

Instead, I went to Fengqing Palace on the first day after I came back, but Mu Lan didn’t go these days. Qu Huachang shut Mu Lan out, or she shut all the people out, because Qu Huachang was not feeling well, only Li Shiyuan and the imperial doctor went to see him.

So, is something wrong?

Mu Lan’s mind quickly recalled what had happened in his last life, but Mu Lan could not sit in the right seat. When she entered the East Palace, many things had changed, and the things of the previous life could not happen naturally.

The queen mother here, nature is not guess, after all, the last life, Mu Lan saw the queen mother’s chance is very few.

But Qu Huachang that

if Mu Lan did not miscalculate the time, Qu Huachang will not be so easy to let oneself live safe and sound, but what can happen, Mu Lan seems to have been inaccurate.

Sinking, Mulan quieted down and nodded, “I know. Wait on me to change.”

“Yes.” He Xiang answered.

Soon, after waiting for Mu Lan to change clothes, Mu Lan quickly left the bedroom. The eunuch of Fengluan Palace outside the door was waiting respectfully. When he saw Mu Lan, he turned around and took Mu Lan to the East Palace, all the way to Fengluan Palace.

……

Phoenix Luan palace inside

Mu Lan entered the Phoenix Luan palace, and did not feel any tense atmosphere, just like the morning when the general peace, Mu Lan quiet, but the mood did not show in the face, still appear calm and calm.

It was not until he saw the Empress Dowager that Mu Lanfu said, “I would like to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager.”

“Get up.” The queen mother sees Mu Lan, the mood is very good.

She held out her hand and motioned for Mu Lan to come to her side. Mu Lan cleverly walked over and stood beside the queen mother. She took Mu Lan’s hand on her own initiative and smiled: “The Ai family has called you here. I have something to discuss with you to see if you are willing to act.”

“As long as it’s the order of the empress, how can I say I don’t want to?” Mu Lan’s voice is soft and pleasant to listen to, and it sounds very clever. The Empress Dowager was even more beaming when she said

this, and kept nodding her head: “That’s true, but the request made by the Ai family seems unreasonable at this time.”

“Empress, please speak.” When

the Empress Dowager saw that Mu Lan was generous, the smile in her eyes was even deeper. Then she said slowly, “Your Majesty is not in good health today, but he has been stable these days.”. The ministers in the court, including the Ai family and the empress, did not quite agree that the emperor should go to the Autumn Festival again this year, but the emperor said that the Autumn Festival was an annual event and that he had to go.

Mu Lan stood quietly, listening to the queen mother’s words, and did not rush to make a statement.

The Ai family and the empress can’t persuade the emperor. You see, now the empress is worried and sick. As soon as the emperor went, there was a lot of trouble. Naturally, many of the people in the palace will go with them.

The queen mother said slowly, but not impatient. The matter of

autumn sacrifice, Mu Lan last life never followed Li Changtian to go, but after Li Shiyuan ascended the throne, as a country, Mu Lan naturally went.

The emperor’s trip was not a private visit incognito, but naturally with great momentum.

The palace is almost half of the people to go, to avoid Li Shiyuan on the road there is any discomfort, big inside the master is to protect, after all, the western regions than big week, although early surrender, but no one can guarantee that the vassal king of the western regions without any disloyalty.

But the queen mother suddenly mentioned, I’m afraid it has something to do with herself.

While Mulan was meditating, the Empress Dowager continued, “This year, the Ai family will go with you. At least the Ai family will watch. The emperor will not work too hard at the Autumn Festival. Otherwise, the emperor will listen to the words of those slaves.”

“The emperor is the most filial, and naturally he will listen to the empress.” Mu Lan took advantage of the situation and said something.

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, “Ai Jia also knows that you and the prince have just got married, and the newlyweds are naturally very affectionate.”. As the crown prince of a country, every year when he travels to the Western Regions, the prince stays in the palace to take charge of the overall situation, which is also a kind of training for himself to prepare for his future succession. Mu Lan naturally knows

these principles.

Mu Lan is more clear that no matter what kind of person Li Shiyuan is, in the hearts of the queen mother and the queen, Li Shiyuan is an unshakable candidate for the crown prince. The same is true of

Li Changtian.

Even now, what Li Changtian has done is to urge the prince to seize the throne, but the person chosen by Li Changtian is the one who knows that it is impossible to succeed in seizing the throne.

But Mu Lan also did not open his mouth, just quietly listening to the queen mother to finish the words. As for the

Ai family, as the emperor travels, he wants someone who can help himself. Mei Ji’s current situation, Lan son also know, the home can’t let Mei Ji follow the home, the people in the palace, ah, the home is not convenient, so, the home let Lan son came, is to discuss with Lan son, let Lan son follow the home to the western regions. Just want to let Lan son and prince separate for two or three months. I don’t know if Lan Er would like to.

The queen mother finished her purpose.

After all, it takes a month to travel from Kyoto to the Western Regions.

The emperor will stay in the Western Regions for at least a month.

The newlyweds were broken up, and it really seemed cruel.

And the Crown Princess of the past Dynasties are accompanied by the Prince, never left.

So this request, in the queen mother’s view, is indeed some difficult, this is a special trip to call Mu Lan, asked the meaning of Mu Lan. If

Mu Lan is not willing, the queen mother naturally will not be reluctant.

But the queen mother did not know that this, but let Mu Lan fulfilled his wish. After all, she was still trying to figure out how to go to the autumn festival.

Autumn Festival always makes Mu Lan feel uneasy.

What’s more, to the autumn festival, can be justifiably separated from Li Shiyuan, even though Mu Lan is very clear, this year’s autumn festival to the end, Li Shiyuan will inevitably appear.

Also always better than her long time in the palace, under the eyes of Li Shiyuan, that is really powerless.

So, as the Empress Dowager’s voice fell, Mu Lan calmly answered, “I won’t refuse the Empress Dowager’s wishes.”. Will naturally accompany the queen mother to the western regions. In this way, the empress will not worry too much and work too hard if there is a person in her own back.

Qu Huachang will naturally go, and the tradition of each year will not change.

Mulan agreed, but as the Empress Dowager expected, she patted Mulan’s hand and said, “This trip has been hard.”

“No, that’s what I’m supposed to do.” Mu Lan answered cleverly, “It’s just your Highness’s side. I’m afraid the empress has to tell your Highness herself.”

“Of course the Ai family would have told the prince about this in person.” The queen mother nodded and promised. There is nothing wrong with

this arrangement.

She wants to go to Mu Lan, also want to explain clearly with Li Shiyuan naturally, want to do so in reason. If this is Mu Lan’s opening, the people in the palace will criticize Mu Lan, think that Mu Lan wants to go, do not want to be in the palace.

The queen mother naturally will not let Mu Lan fall into such a whirlpool.

Just then, the eunuch hurried in from outside the gate and said, “Report to the Empress, the Fourth Temple has come down.”

“Pass it on.” The queen mother answered lightly, but less of the previous warmth.

Li Shiyu grew up with Qu Huachang, and naturally developed the habit of paying his respects to the queen mother every day after the court, unless he left the capital, otherwise, Li Shiyu never stopped paying his respects.

So it is not strange that Li Shiyu appeared in the Fengluan Palace.

But the queen mother is always lukewarm to Li Shiyu.

On the contrary, Mu Lan, standing aside, was quiet, apparently not expecting to meet Li Shiyu at this time, but although Mu Lan was calm on the surface, he still looked at the entrance out of the corner of his eye without any trace.

Soon, Li Shiyu’s tall figure walked in calmly.

Mu Lan’s eyes are also very natural to withdraw.

Li Shiyu just nodded to Mu Lan, but said nothing more. He respectfully paid his respects to the Empress Dowager. Then Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan and said, “So the Second Emperor’s Wife is here, too.”

“Your Royal Highness.” Mu Lan nodded his head.

Now Mu Lan’s identity naturally does not need to pay his respects to Li Shiyu any more, just nod. The conversation between the

two men was limited to this.

Li Shiyu did not leave in a hurry, but accompanied the queen mother to chat for a while, Mu Lan did not leave, in the side to serve the queen mother, this picture, nothing is wrong, but also always feel a little strange.

The queen mother took a look without a trace, but she was calm.

Li Shiyu and the queen mother chat are some insignificant, Li Shiyu said is serious, the queen mother listened to some perfunctory.

It’s just that Li Shiyu’s seriousness is somewhat sincere and somewhat false, and I’m afraid only Li Shiyu knows.

“Your Royal Highness has been very busy with his official duties recently, and he has the heart to come to Ai’s house to pay his respects.” The queen mother suddenly changed the subject, seemingly praise, but like knocking.

Mu Lan was quiet.

Li Shiyu, however, never changed his face and calmly put down the teacup. Naturally, the tea in Li Shiyu’s cup was also brewed by Mu Lan, which has always been in line with Li Shiyu’s taste.

“No matter how busy you are with your official duties, paying your respects to the empress is a matter for your ministers.” Li Shi-yu answered, “Besides, no matter how busy I am, I can’t be compared to the second elder brother. When the emperor looks for me, he just wants me to chat with him. He can’t call the second elder brother. After all, in this situation, the second elder brother is the one who is busy with his official duties.”

In a few words, Li Shiyu had already picked himself clean.

In front of the queen mother, Li Shiyu has always appeared to be much more humble, and his stature is very low. And the queen mother’s words in the knock, in fact, is also a warning to Li Shiyu, do not have the idea should not have. Compared

with Li Shili, Li Shiyu is even less qualified.

His birth is enough for the queen mother to strike out Li Shiyu. Rong imperial concubine

is what identity, but is a dancing girl, dancing girl get the favor of the emperor, can chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, but Rong imperial concubine’s splendor and wealth is not long, grass people are grass people after all, in the palace sooner or later will expose their own shortcomings, dead without a whole body.

Thinking of this, Mu Lan quieted down and suddenly understood something.

Rong Fei’s death, I’m afraid, has something to do with Qu Huachang from beginning to end.

This harem, can turn over clouds and rain, all people’s lives are firmly in the hands of the people, only Qu Huachang, in those days, Rong Fei also gave birth to a prince, how can not let Qu Huachang attention.

Here the truth, Mu Lan can want to understand, how can Li Shiyu want not to understand.

Li Shiyu’s forbearance is just to wait for the best time to catch them all.

The liquidation is always to be liquidated.

But when the Empress Dowager heard Li Shiyu’s words, she nodded and was satisfied with Li Shiyu’s attitude: “This time the four royal Highnesses went to the Western Regions with the emperor, which was also a share for the prince.”

“This is my honor.” After talking irrelevantly

like this for a while, the Empress Dowager looked a little tired. Li Shiyu stood up consciously and said, “Empress, please rest more. I will leave first.”

“Mmm.” The queen mother waved her hand.

Li Shiyu naturally retreated.

The queen mother did not say anything, closed her eyes to rest, Mu Lan still quietly stayed in the Phoenix Palace.

The queen mother did not open her mouth, and Mu Lan naturally could not go.

But the queen mother did not let Mu Lan stay in Fengluan Palace, almost time to let Mu Lan go back, Mu Lan also did not affectation, homeopathy followed to leave Fengluan Palace.

He Xiang followed behind Mu Lan.

Two people out of the Phoenix Luan Palace, toward the direction of the East Palace, Mu Lan did not let the slaves follow all the way, also just with the lotus fragrance.

Suddenly, a burst of strong strength came, directly clasped Mu Lan’s wrist, quickly pulled Mu Lan to the position that no one noticed.

He Xiang almost exclaimed, but after seeing the man, he Xiang quieted down and stood in place, looking at the situation around him warily, but did not look in the direction of Mu Lan.

Because that man is Li Shiyu.

Since the last time, although Mu Lan did not say anything, but the lotus fragrance has also understood, she is smart to keep silent.

“Your Highness, this is the palace.” Mu Lan opened his mouth lightly.

Li Shiyu hum, did not say anything, just so looking at Mu Lan.

Mu Lan, however, did not avoid Li Shiyu’s eyes. “Don’t you know, Your Royal Highness, that all the people next to me are the people of Your Royal Highness?”

Li Shi-yu still grunted, and the question he answered was always irrelevant: “I’ll have someone make you some more hairpins later.”

Mu Lan pretended to be stupid and looked at Li Shiyu without speaking.

She knew what Li Shiyu meant.

Li Shiyu sent this hairpin, Mu Lan has been wearing, as if also used to wear, as if the daily routine, no matter how other hair accessories match, this hairpin has always been on Mu Lan’s head.

As a result, when Li Shiyu said this frankly, Mu Lan was somewhat uncomfortable. She didn’t reveal anything

on the surface. “It’s just right,” she said lightly. “Your Highness thinks too much.”

“What was I thinking?” Li Shi-yu raised his eyebrows and said, “I just said I’d have a few more hairpins made and sent to you. I didn’t say anything else.”

Mu Lan: “… …”

All right, then don’t say it.

Mu Lan simply changed the subject: “What is the purpose of your Highness calling me here?”

Li Shiyu laughed in a low voice, but he seemed to be in a good mood. “What did the Empress Dowager say to you?”

Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu with a half-smile. “Guess.”

“The Empress Dowager asked you to go with her to the Western Regions.” Li Shiyu said directly.

Mu Lan slightly narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Shiyu, whose eyebrows and eyes were filled with a trace of banter, and suddenly lowered his figure.

The two men are very close. When the

familiar sandalwood fragrance became clearer and clearer, Mulan’s heart beat faster, but on the surface, Mulan was calm, and the sweaty reaction in his hands had already revealed Mulan’s present state.

“What are you nervous about?” “My palms are all wet,” says Li Shi-yu lightly.

“Too hot.” Mu Lan’s face did not change color.

Li Shi-yu took one look at the sky, but he didn’t pierce Mu Lan. “Yes, it’s really too hot. I’ll ask the slaves to send you some iced watermelons later.” It’s

all rambling, and none of it is on the point.

Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu and suddenly realized: “I can go to the Western Regions, is it the work of the four lords?”

“Lan’er is really smart.” Li Shi-yu looks at Mu Lan admiringly. “It’s just that it wasn’t all me. It was the right time, the right place, and the right people.”

Mu Lan did not speak, quietly waiting for Li Shiyu to finish his words.

I just let something happen in Maggie’s house, and with Maggie’s current situation, she is bound to leave the palace. Otherwise, in the palace, the imperial physician is not a vegetarian, and there is nothing wrong with keeping Meiji walking normally for two or three months.

Li Shiyu explained, When Meiji left the palace, the Empress Dowager was naturally worried about the situation of her father. The Empress Dowager wasn’t supposed to go, but I had someone send a message to the Empress Dowager that there was probably no one in the palace who could keep an eye on the father, and that the father liked hunting, so any strenuous exercise would be bad for the father, and it was a long journey, so the Empress Dowager was naturally worried.

Mu Lan narrowed his eyes slightly.

“The Empress Dowager is worried, so she will go with him. After all, the Empress Dowager is the only one who can make his father obedient.” What Li Shiyu said was direct. “And the Empress Dowager has been out for a long time, and I’m afraid people who don’t have their own bodies on the side won’t be comfortable. If Meiji wants to leave the palace, she will naturally recommend you. Because of your status, the Empress Dowager will ask your opinion first, and then tell the prince in person that it’s logical for you to go to the Western Regions.”

Li Shiyu calmly finished his words.

This matter is indeed as Li Shiyu said, the right time, the right place and the right people, undetected, Mu Lan was changed from the East Palace to the Western Regions.

Mu Lan was a little surprised.

Then she did not think any more, because Mu Lan is very clear, his every move and idea, Li Shiyu is actually the one who knows best.

These things, do not need her to bother, Li Shiyu can do safely.

Quiet for a while, Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu’s eyes fell on Mu Lan’s body, not a moment, the voice was very low, word by word said: “You are the king’s woman, the king does not like you around other men too long.”

That man, even the prince, is the same. The implication

also clearly told Mu Lan, even if Mu Lan did not have this idea, Li Shiyu will not let Mu Lan stay in the East Palace, but to let Mu Lan follow under his own eyes.

Mu Lan listened to Li Shiyu’s words and laughed in a low voice. Then, Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu, but the voice could not hear any emotion: “Your Highness has tried his best.”

Li Shiyu is very direct: “Tolerating you to marry into the East Palace is already the limit of this king.”

Mu Lan did not speak.

Li Shiyu also did not pull Mu Lan, the two men pulled away, only to hear the man lightly explain: “The Western Regions are not as big as the Zhou Dynasty. By the time we arrived in the Western Regions, the Western Regions had already entered the end of autumn. The weather was unstable. It was scorching during the day, but at night it could be winter overnight.”. So, let Hexiang prepare your clothes for you, and don’t be in a hurry when you get there.

Mu Lan just looked at Li Shiyu. Mu Lan naturally knows

these things.

Last life, the first time with Li Shiyuan to the autumn sacrifice, no one reminded Mu Lan, in the western regions, Mu Lan also left a lot of jokes.

But no one helped Mu Lan, and Mu Zhihua stepped on Mu Lan’s foot.

Obviously Mu Lan is the queen, but Mu Zhi draws an imperial concubine to be more popular than queen.

But now hear Li Shiyu to own account, Mu Lan did not feel any uncomfortable place, but is quiet, the heart seems to suddenly crack a piece, was injected into the warm current.

All of a sudden it warmed up.

This is the feeling of being held in the hands and cared for.

“The food in the Western Regions is also much rougher, and completely different from Kyoto. Although you have an imperial chef, it’s not Kyoto after all. If you eat too much, you’ll inevitably get tired of it. If you prepare more preserves that can be kept for a long time, you’ll feel much more comfortable.”

……

Li Shiyu is in the careful account, Mu Lan is also seriously listening.

It was not until Li Shiyu had finished that Mu Lan calmly looked at Li Shiyu and said, “I have written it down.”

Mmm. Go back. Li Shiyu loosened Mu Lan and stood with his hands on his back.

Mu Lan nodded and calmly turned away, but when he left, Li Shiyu’s hand suddenly clasped Mu Lan’s wrist again.

Mu Lan turned his head and looked at Li Shiyu, not knowing what Li Shiyu would say.

As a result, Li Shiyu just put the hairpin back on Mu Lan’s bun and said, “It’s crooked.”

Mu Lan: “… …”

After that, Li Shiyu loosened Mu Lan.

Mu Lan’s cheeks were slightly hot, but in front of this person, she was still serious and quickly turned away.

Li Shiyu stood in place, watching Mu Lan’s figure gradually away, this just turned around, soon disappeared here.

On the contrary, Mu Lan’s cheeks have been a little hot.

Hexiang noticed, but Hexiang did not have the courage to open her mouth at such a time, and solemnly followed behind Mu Lan.

They hurried back to the East Palace. As soon

as Mulan returned to the palace and took a sip of tea, a message from the eunuch came from outside the palace: “Your Royal Highness has arrived.”

He Xiang took one look at Mu Lan, and then he Xiang hurried back out. Li Shiyuan’s figure appeared in the bedroom. Mu Lan stood up and said, “I’ve seen Your Highness. Is Your Highness finished?”

“The Empress Dowager wants you to go with her to the Western Regions?” Li Shiyuan asked directly.

“Yes.” Mu Lan did not deny it. “Previously, the Empress Dowager asked me to go over and talk about this. I accepted it, but I asked the Empress Dowager to inform your Highness and get your Highness’s consent.”

Li Shiyuan did not say anything, but just looked at Mu Lan like this.

This matter some let Li Shiyuan unexpected, at least Li Shiyuan did not expect the queen mother will follow, he thought the queen mother is old will stay in the palace, after all, the queen mother has not been to the autumn festival for almost ten years.

This cold mention, naturally no one can refuse.

Only this matter also ruined Li Shiyuan’s plan.

He wanted to leave Mulan in the palace, naturally can let Mulan obedient, the result of this, has already exceeded their agreed three months. Can not

say why, Li Shiyuan for the present situation, there is always a feeling of letting the tiger go back to the mountains.

Not bad, but definitely not good.

It happened that in Mu Lan’s expression, Li Shiyuan could not see Mu Lan’s other ideas.

“Do you want to go?” Li Shiyuan suddenly opened his mouth and asked lightly.

Mu Lan quieted down, and faced with Li Shiyuan’s question, she remained calm: “I can’t disobey the demands of the Empress Dowager.”

This matter, has nothing to do with her, just obey the queen mother’s command. The implication is

that Li Shiyuan can not let himself go, as long as he can persuade the queen mother, then Mu Lan will not go.

Obviously, this is absolutely impossible.

Both Li Shiyuan and Mu Lan have a pretty good idea. On the surface,

Li Shiyuan said quietly, “It’s all right. If my beloved concubine accompanies the Empress Dowager, my mother and the king will be relieved.”. After all, the queen mother does not like many people, love the imperial concubine is just one. In this way, the pressure on the mother will be shared.

Li Shiyuan didn’t stop him either.

This is also the truth, the queen mother has never been a good person to serve, Qu Huachang also understand this point, the queen mother is determined to go, there is no body around the people, eventually this matter will fall on Qu Huachang, Qu Huachang is not entirely good to serve the queen mother, will only cause a series of trouble. Once the

butterfly effect breaks out, it is terrible.

But now is a very sensitive time.

“I will remember your Highness’s words.” Mu Lan answered cleverly.

Li Shiyuan hum, suddenly walked in, Mu Lan also did not dodge, some innocent look at Li Shiyuan: “Your Highness?”

“In this way, the agreement between my beloved concubine and the king seems to have been lengthened.” Li Shiyuan asked Mu Lan out of the blue.

Mu Lan quieted down and said calmly, “This is a matter of necessity.”

Li Shiyuan just looked at Mu Lan, half smiling appearance let people guess the idea of Li Shiyuan in the heart, but such Li Shiyuan has let Mu Lan very clear, this life, Li Shiyuan suddenly went to the western regions, is also an established fact.

In his last life, Li Shiyuan suddenly left because he felt the crisis in Kyoto. After returning

from the autumn festival, all the people became waiting for an opportunity to move. As soon

as Li Changtian fell ill, Li Shiyuan directly sealed the Royal Dragon Palace. Almost no one could see Li Changtian again. On the day of Li Changtian’s death, Li Shiyu rebelled and was defeated.

Li Shiyuan ascended the throne smoothly.

At that time, Mu Lan did not think much, these things for Mu Lan, did not change anything, and everything is taken for granted.

But this life, Mu Lan is very clear, is not so simple.

“Lan’er.” Li Shi-yuan’s voice was very low. “Wait for Ben Wang, eh?”

Meaningful remarks.

Mulan is calm: “Mulan is waiting for your Highness at any time.”

This pleased Li Shiyuan’s heart, and Li Shiyuan did not dwell on this question any more. He repeated lightly, “The king will pass on the message and let the slaves around him serve you well.”. If something goes wrong, be prepared to come and see him.

“I thank Your Highness for your concern.” Mu Lan answered.

Li Shiyuan will shoot his trusted followers on his side, called protection, but actually supervision, Mu Lan naturally understands, and will not refuse. The trip to the

western regions, everything is unknown.

We can only wait and see what happens.

Two days later

, Li Shiyuan was still busy, but every night he would spend the night in Mu Lan’s bedroom. Even though nothing happened to them, as long as Li Shiyuan entered, Mu Lan would be particularly vigilant. It’s not a good

night’s rest.

But such a thing, but also lasted for two nights, Li Shiyuan did not spend the night here in Mu Lan, but went to other concubines.

After all, Li Shiyuan is a normal man, it is impossible to be indifferent to women.

Under such circumstances, the favored concubine seemed elated, feeling that she could snatch Li Shiyuan from Mu Lan overnight, thinking that her position would not be unstable, and that she would soon be on an equal footing with Mu Zhihua.

Inevitably, the slaves in the East Palace were also talking in a low voice.

But Mu Lan is still in the position of the Crown Princess, the slaves of the East Palace dare not say much.

But occasionally some gossip came to Mu Lan’s ears.

Mu Lan appears to be very calm, quiet in the pavilion, eating snacks, turning over books, and the East Palace to pay their respects to the people are also gradually less. Those who

should say hello have said hello, and those who should be familiar with each other have also been familiar with each other, so naturally there is no need to appear again.

Mu Lan is really clean down.

Li Shiyuan did not spend the night here in Mulan, but let Mulan sleep safely, she naturally will not do anything to the proud concubine, or say anything.

Her attention rested on the scroll in her hand.

“Empress, Lady Ann is here.” He Xiang is reminding Mu Lan.

When Mulan put down the book, Mrs. An came leisurely and walked up to Mulan. “I’ve seen the Crown Princess in my body,” she said, looking pleased with herself.

“Get up.” Mu Lan answered. Naturally, Mrs.

Ann went into the pavilion and looked at the little dots on the small round table. Her tone could not help but become arrogant: “The empress is in a good mood. She is tasting tea here.”

Mu Lan took a look, Mrs. Ann’s idea, Mu Lan need not think much, toes can guess clearly.

Just two nights of grace. Can’t wait to show off?

Mu Zhihua is now pregnant and grounded, even the bedroom can not leave, otherwise, it is estimated that Mrs. Ann did not even have the opportunity to appear in front of Mu Lan.

After all, in the last life, Mu Zhihua cleaned up many concubines in the East Palace.

This life is reversed.

Just Mrs. Ann is too proud, Mu Lan has never been a soft persimmon, take the initiative to send to the door, Mu Lan will not be polite, a good day, however, why gentle words to her?

“The sunset is just right, but isn’t it the right time to enjoy tea and read?” Mu Lan asked in reply lightly, glancing lightly at Mrs. Ann. Mrs.

Ann was glanced at by Mu Lan and said that she was not afraid of being false, but she was bold enough to think that she was spoiled now.

After all, between Mu Lan and Li Shiyuan, more or less, Mrs. An also knows.

Mu Lan is from the hands of Mu Zhihua to snatch the prince, people get, the prince naturally no fresh, who can know how long Mu Lan can be favored, after all, now pregnant but Mu Zhihua.

Besides, Mrs. Ann could not bear to see the coldness of Mu Lan’s face.

It’s like everyone’s rushing to put it up.

Besides, even if Mu Lan is the Crown Princess, aren’t these concubines the old people of the East Palace? They go to Mu Lan to pay their respects, but Mu Lan has never seen, or look at the mood to see people. How can

such an attitude not arouse indignation in the East Palace.

Even the anger of the heart is the best example, but even the death of the heart, let them have a lingering fear, this account is naturally counted on the body of Mu Lan.

But Lian Xin is just a personal slave who accompanies her, and their identity is not the same.

Can enter the east palace, even if is not the crown princess, their identity which can lose to the person, is only less the crown princess position. The battle for women in

the harem has existed since ancient times.

But at least if you don’t look at the monk’s face, you should also look at the Buddha’s face.

Who can swallow this tone. Mrs.

An soon straightened her spine and looked at Mulan proudly. “It’s really a good time. I just don’t know how long this good time will last.”

“Hmm?” Mulan put down the book and looked at Mrs. Ann with a half-smile. Mrs.

An snorted coldly. She looked respectful on the surface, but between the lines it was all about Mu Lan: I was still thinking about asking my sister for advice on how to serve your Highness well. Now I find that I don’t need it. After all, the prince is now in the house of his concubines.

With these words, Mrs. Ann covered her mouth with a smile and looked very unhappy. How could

Mu Lan not hear the cynicism of Mrs. Ann, who was bored enough to provoke herself today?

This is Mu Lan did not intend to move these concubines in the East Palace, after all, these people have never offended themselves in their last life, nor have they harmed themselves, the internal strife between them lies only in the favored woman, not in a person who is out of favor like her.

In their view, Mu Lan is just occupying the position of Crown Princess, that’s all.

Even Mu Lan’s occupation of the position of Crown Princess, on the contrary, has become a sharp weapon for them to provoke Mu Zhihua, after all, this is the shame of Mu Zhihua’s life.

The result can be imagined. Good

now, this is to rush to come up to give oneself unhappy? Is it true that many

people are popular?

Mu Lan was not impatient, and then looked at Mrs. Ann very naturally sat down, Mu Lan than Mrs. Ann’s position, light mouth: “Mrs. Ann, the palace did not allow you to sit in front of the palace.” Mrs.

Ann’s face changed and she looked particularly embarrassed.

But Mu Lan did not mean to slow down his attitude: “So now Mrs. An should take the initiative, or wait for the palace to ask Mrs. An to get up?”

To let Mu Lan please, that is how to please, how can Mrs. Ann not understand.

She reluctantly stood up and looked at Mu Lan’s eyes with a bit of viciousness.

But Mu Lan did not let go of Mrs. Ann’s meaning, picked up the tea again, found that the tea was cold, her eyebrows twisted, the teacup was put aside. Mu Lan doesn’t drink

cold tea.

In other words, Mu Lan will not drink tea with inappropriate temperature. The appearance of Mrs.

Ann destroyed her not long before she made the tea at the right temperature, which made Mu Lan a little annoyed.

Her situation in the palace is not so comfortable, but there are still people who continue to add to their own confusion when she is not comfortable, Mu Lan’s mood is naturally not much better.

Seeing that Mrs. An got up, Mu Lan’s face did not ease. She continued coldly, “What did Mrs. An say before? What points did this palace correct you? First, Mrs. An called this palace sister, and she was not afraid to ruin this palace.”. In terms of age, Lady Ann is a few years older than this palace. Does this imply that this palace should call Lady Ann Sister? Mrs.

Ann: “..”

She did not mean this, just to taunt Mu Lan, the result did not expect, was Mu Lan a rake, but also completely unable to resist.

Second, Mrs. An wants to ask the palace for advice on how to serve the prince? Are you sure that’s what Lady Ann meant, instead of coming over to show off to the palace? The prince stayed in Lady Ann’s palace for two more days. Mu Lan smiled coldly. “Two days is not surprising. When you come to show off in front of this palace, wait until the prince stays at Lady An’s house, or until Lady An’s stomach moves like a side concubine.”

Mu Lan is very annoying. When she

finished, she didn’t even look at Mrs. Ann. She waved her hand and said, “He Xiang, see you off.”. In the future, people who have nothing to do with it should not come to this palace. This palace doesn’t have the leisure to cater to all of them.

“Yes.” He Xiang is respectful. Mrs.

Ann’s face had already changed and changed.

Know the strength of Mu Lan, but did not expect Mu Lan can do what face is not given, which makes Mrs. Ann completely untenable in front of the slaves.

Those in the side of the slave, which did not hear Mu Lan’s cynicism. Mrs.

Ann was somewhat unwilling, but there was nothing she could do about Mulan.

After all, the Crown Princess of the East Palace is Mu Lan, not any of them.

He Xiang had already stepped forward and said, “Mrs. Ann, please.”

This is the order to leave, Mrs. Ann did not even dare to think about what would happen if she continued to stay here, she did not dare to take this risk, and finally she could only take a resentful look at Mulan and turn away.

He Xiang also did not follow up, see an madam leaves, this just returned to the edge of Mu Lan.

Mu Lan was so annoyed by Mrs. Ann, also did not have the mood to read, the book has been put aside by Mu Lan, cold tea and side of the small point, but also thoroughly let Mu Lan is to go to the interest.

“Go back.” Mu Lan opened his mouth lightly.

He Xiang also knew that Mu Lan was not in the mood to be noisy, and did not say anything more, quickly stood up, followed Mu Lan, all the way to the bedroom. After

returning to the palace, Hexiang said worriedly, “Young lady, if you diss Mrs. Ann like this, Mrs. Ann will come back and make a mistake about you.”

Mu Lan hum, did not deny.

But Mu Lan has never been afraid of these, she did not pay attention to Mrs. Ann’s affairs, leaning on the soft collapse to close her eyes and rest, the lotus fragrance did not say anything, quietly holding a fan, behind the fan to Mu Lan.

One by one, the bedroom became more and more calm, as if any of the previous unpleasantness had never happened.

……

Into the night.

The whole East Palace is much more quiet, today’s Li Shiyuan has not come to Mu Lan’s palace, but Li Shiyuan has not gone to any concubine, but in the study, never left. The situation in the

palace is increasingly tense, and Li Shiyuan’s nerves are naturally tense.

Even if Li Shiyuan likes beauty, it does not mean that Li Shiyuan is still indulging in women at the critical time. For Li Shiyuan, women are just a channel for catharsis.

Just like Mrs. Ann.

Two nights of grace is nothing more than catharsis.

Even Li Shiyuan never spent a whole night in Mrs. An’s palace. After that, he would leave Mrs. An’s palace. Not to mention the second day, the slaves would send the soup for Mrs. An to take that night.

Who can give birth to a prince for Li Shiyuan? Li Shiyuan knows it very well in his heart.

“Your Highness.” The shadow guard on one side reported on Mu Lan’s every move today. “The empress has been in her bedroom all day, except for some arguments with Mrs. An. She has never left.”

Li Shiyuan twisted his eyebrows.

“I don’t quite understand the details, but what the slaves saw was that the empress had scolded Mrs. An.” Ying Wei explained.

Li Shiyuan’s brows did not stretch out, this period of time in the palace, Li Shiyuan more or less also heard, those who have offended Mu Lan’s slaves, have quietly disappeared from the palace. The lives of slaves in the

palace are not valuable, and no one will feel sorry for their disappearance, so naturally no one will take this matter to heart.

It just happens one after another, and it points to the same person, which is a little subtle. Can not

say is a coincidence, or deliberate, these things continue to evolve, Mu Lan is bound to become the object of the people crusade, if alarmed Qu Huachang and the queen mother, even if Li Shiyuan protection, this matter is not so easy to understand.

But Li Shiyuan according to his understanding of Mu Lan, obviously Mu Lan is not such a brainless person, even those who come to pay their respects, Mu Lan is filtered before choosing to see and not to see. Everything, Mu Lan can be said to be cautious, really not like a person who would make such a mistake.

Li Shi-yuan sank, and then asked, “Is there anything unusual in the palace recently?”

“Your Highness, no.” Ying Wei answered, “Everything is calm.”

He knew what Li Shiyuan was asking about. Li Shiyuan had always discussed with Mu Zhantian about things in the court, and asked him about things related to Mu Lan.

Li Shiyuan did not say anything, slightly squinting, thinking about something.

Suddenly, the quiet East Palace became chaotic, and there were footsteps and screams outside, which made Li Shiyuan instantly gloomy, something that had never happened in the East Palace.

He stood up. “What’s going on out there? All this noise?”

The shadow guard also changed his face: “The slave immediately went out to check.”

Soon, the shadow guard hurried away, Li Shiyuan’s heart passed a sense of uneasiness, the next moment, and did not wait for the shadow guard to come back, Li Shiyuan has hurried out.

……

At that time, in the bedroom.

Mulan just ready to rest, she has always fallen asleep late, the lotus fragrance has been sent to bed early by Mulan, when Mulan is ready to go to bed, suddenly, the door of the bedroom was so knocked open.

He Xiang hurried in, and the fear in her face was obvious: “Big..” Young lady, it’s not good.

“Why are you so flustered?” Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows and asked.

“Lady Ann is dead. She was found dead by the well in the southwest corner of the East Palace by the night watchman.” He Xiang seemed unable to recover from such a shock and gasped for breath.

Mu Lan’s eyes converged and looked at the lotus fragrance.

Ho-hsiang shuddered and said, “It’s a terrible death. The minions outside described it vividly as having had their hearts cut out. Their whole chests were empty, and their hearts were cut out clean. There’s nothing left.”

That picture, although the lotus fragrance did not see, but heard the expression of the slaves, the lotus fragrance felt shudder, that kind of picture, let people do evil in waves.

Mulan’s brows were twisted, and she couldn’t help but flash a trace of shock, but her voice remained calm: “What did you say?”

“Lady Ann’s heart has been cut out, and I hear that Your Highness has already gone there.” Hexiang said the words quickly.

At this point, Mu Lan did not hesitate, and soon began to say, “Change my clothes.”

Hexiang didn’t hesitate. Such a thing happened in the

East Palace, Mu Lan as the Crown Princess of the East Palace, it is impossible not to ask, but Mu Lan is not worried about this, but this afternoon, she and Mrs. Ann had a dispute, Mrs. Ann had an accident that night.

Anyone would think it had something to do with Mulan, otherwise it wouldn’t be such a coincidence.

This scene, let Mu Lan some shudder, as well as the previous slaves who more or less sounded related to themselves, disappeared from the palace.

Mu Lan is quiet, this matter, I am afraid, is really not so simple on the surface.

And today, Mrs. Ann’s death, will completely lift this matter into a climax, the black hand behind the scenes, after a period of time in the layout, is probably ready to close the net.

But this closes the net, hits the person to be unprepared.

Mu Lan sank, calmed down, and soon left his bedroom in a hurry, walking quickly towards the place where Mrs. Ann had an accident.

Along the way, when the slave saw Mu Lan, he didn’t even have time to pay his respects, but as Mu Lan passed in front of him, the slave’s face was more frightened.

Afraid of the next moment, offended Mu Lan, the silent death of the people will be their own. The slave of the

East Palace did not dare to send at a glance and stood passively.

Mu Lan did not care about these, and then quickly appeared in the incident of the well, Li Shiyuan has been there, Mrs. Ann’s body is in place.

The picture is bloody and pungent. Mrs.

Ann’s clothes were half stripped, her upper body was completely naked, the position of her chest had been completely hollowed out, and blood flowed all over the floor. The slaves

around are all shivering.

But Mrs. Ann’s face was intact, but it looked a little ferocious, as if she had been pulled out alive in a very painful situation, but she could not scream or resist.

What kind of cruel and bloody person can do such a thing.

Mu Lan’s breath inevitably followed the cramped, but Mu Lan’s surface was always calm, she walked in the direction of Li Shiyuan.

Li Shiyuan saw Mu Lan, and his eyes sank.

Mu Lan quickly called on Ann: “I have seen your Highness.”

Li Shiyuan hum, did not say anything, Mu Lan has also approached, the pungent taste is obvious, so that Mu Lan’s eyebrows instantly wrinkled up, but Mu Lan’s surface is not any traces of panic, just looking at it.

“Why is the beloved concubine here?” “It’s not good to see too much of these things,” says Li Shi-yuan lightly.

“If something goes wrong at the East Palace, you always have to come and see it.” Mu Lan said directly, “Otherwise, this matter may not be on my concubine again, and I can’t wash it off.”

This means something.

Li Shiyuan how can not hear, he looked at Mu Lan, eyes are always a moment, and did not move the meaning, Mu Lan also looked at Li Shiyuan.

“The king will thoroughly investigate this matter.” Li Shiyuan opened his mouth lightly for a long time.

And the side of the bodyguard has also packed Mrs. Ann’s body, and the blood on the ground, the slaves are also the fastest speed to clean up, the pungent smell has obviously been less is not good.

But the first person to witness this scene, to now can not stand, that kind of panic, I am afraid a long time will not dissipate.

When Mu Lan heard Li Shiyuan’s words, he didn’t say anything. He nodded and said, “Your Highness has worked hard.”

“My beloved concubine, go back and rest first.” Li Shiyuan didn’t keep Mu Lan.

Mu Lan also did not ask for trouble, she took the lotus fragrance to turn around very quickly to leave, Li Shiyuan looked at Mu Lan to leave the figure, the eye light followed to sink down. The shadow guard on

one side immediately said, “The empress has returned to her bedroom from the pavilion today, but she has never come out of her bedroom.”. But the people around the empress are in and out of the palace, and naturally no one will stop them. The implication is

that this matter will not be done by Mu Lan himself, but the people below Mu Lan are not easy to say.

Li Shiyuan did not speak.

He sank and looked in the direction of Mulan’s departure.

Li Shiyuan is not a brainless person, otherwise, in the East Palace Li Shiyuan also naturally can not sit so stable, and has not been shaken.

For Mu Lan’s understanding, Mu Lan’s brain is absolutely impossible to allow themselves to do such a flawed thing, even if Mu Lan is really dissatisfied with Mrs. Ann, to eradicate Mrs. Ann, will not be fair and square in the East Palace, but will choose other places. It’s no good for Mu Lan to start

in the East Palace.

Besides, Mu Lan’s side, in addition to the lotus fragrance, is his placement of people, it is impossible to disobey their orders for Mu Lan to do such a thing, and do not take the initiative to report.

And Mu Lan in and out of the East Palace, also rarely walk in the East Palace, for the environment of the East Palace is not familiar with, this location, is the East Palace is very hidden location, let alone Mu Lan, any normal person will not appear here, but Mrs. Ann died here.

These problems are put aside, Mu Lan Li Shiyuan is at a respectful distance, and even a three-month appointment, Li Shiyuan is not in Mu Lan’s bedroom, no matter where, for Mu Lan, is relieved.

Li Shiyuan in the bedroom that a few nights is not unaware of it, Mu Lan always sleep restlessly.

Only then did Li Shiyuan leave Mu Lan’s bedroom. If

Mu Lan wants to monopolize Li Shiyuan, when Li Shiyuan is interested in Mu Lan, Mu Lan does it too easily, where will give Mrs. Ann the opportunity to provoke herself.

So Li Shiyuan can be sure of this, it is not what Mu Lan did.

But Mrs. Ann has been in the East Palace all the year round and has never offended anyone. Who would do such a thing to Mrs. Ann?

The only possible Mu Zhihua is now under house arrest in the bedroom, and Mu Zhihua is not a powerful person, plus Li Shiyuan’s orders first, unless she is tired of living.

And now Mu Zhihua, discerning people also know that the most important thing is to protect the child in the belly, rather than to stir themselves in such a right and wrong.

Li Shiyuan’s eyes were even heavier.

“Tidy this place up.” Li Shiyuan ordered in a deep voice.

“Yes.” The minions dare not answer. The chaos of the

East Palace was eliminated in the fastest time, and everything seemed to be back to normal, but what happened in the East Palace tonight inevitably spread at the fastest speed.

Murderer, directed at Mulan.

Just because of Mu Lan’s favor and his present identity, no one just accused him face to face, but instead, he kept talking behind his back.

Palace, suddenly by a strange breath, to thoroughly diffuse. The death of Mrs.

Ann did not make Mu Lan’s life change too much, and she was still in the bedroom without leaving a step.

It seems that the rumors outside have been shielded outside the palace gate.

Such Mu Lan, but the lotus fragrance is very anxious.

“Young lady, how can you be so calm after what the outside world has said about you?” Hexiang stamped her feet in a hurry.

“What did you say?” Mu Lan is neither salty nor light. “He said I was a murderer, and there was no room for anyone in his eyes. Mrs. Ann died miserably.”? Ignoring the dignity of the East Palace, he was determined to put Lady Ann to death.

The lotus fragrance should not be spoken by Mu Lan.

Those ugly words, he Xiang would like to refute, but because he is Mu Lan’s personal maid, refute will only make Mu Lan more embarrassed.

Hexiang can only learn to endure. I put up with all

this thoroughly. The people who

settled down are also making trouble. Now it’s all over the queen and the queen mother. Hexiang stamped her feet and then went on.

Mu Lan hum.

No wonder. Behind Mrs.

An is a whole family. Although Mrs. An is not much favored, she is at least a concubine. In any case, Li Shiyuan has to take into account the balance of power of all parties, in fact, it is not strange to stay in Mrs. An.

But Li Shiyuan just picked the time point, is at this time, so the top of Mrs. An to the top of the wave. People who

settle down will naturally take advantage of the situation to want a statement.

In other words, to regain the attention of the Li family, after all, this matter, the hubbub, rather than silent.

Or happened in the East Palace, as the Lord of the East Palace Li Shiyuan, naturally also want to give an account.

These things, Mu Lan naturally know, but now, whether it is Fengluan Palace or Fengqing Palace, there is no movement, no one passed their past, but is quiet.

Mu Lan is also very clear, this matter, is Li Shiyuan pressed down.

Otherwise, not to mention the situation of Fengluan Palace, the queen mother may also consider, but Qu Huachang is not impossible to let go of their own.

But how long can such peace last?

Mu Lan sank, his eyes were low, and he hid his emotions.

In the last life, the East Palace was also dead, but it was not Mrs. Ann, and the person who did it was not himself, but Mu Zhihua, but this matter was implicated in his own body.

Also just entered the palace, Qu Huachang unceremoniously punished himself, but also let Mu Lan in the East Palace, difficult.

But now, all this is somewhat different, it seems that we can only wait and see what happens.

“Young lady, please say something.” Hexiang is worried to death.

“What did I say?” Mu Lan asked in reply, but looked calmly at the lotus fragrance. “Do you think it’s useful for me to say it now?”

He Xiang was speechless when asked by Mu Lan.

Now, it seems impossible to argue. Mrs.

Ann did not offend anyone in the East Palace, if she really said that she had offended someone, then only Mu Lan in front of her, or just offended yesterday afternoon, had an accident last night.

At this point, the lotus fragrance did not dare to speak out. “Help me find out what’s going on outside the East Palace,”

said Mulan calmly.

“Yes.” He Xiang answered.

Soon, the lotus fragrance left in a hurry, Mu Lan is still calm in the bedroom, but on the heart of the uneasiness, also followed by a few minutes, if it is really Qu Huachang, then Qu Huachang is bound to kill himself.

In can not shake Li Shiyuan and the queen mother to own like, Qu Huachang how to do, can let oneself have no room to turn over?

Mu Lan’s brain turned so fast that she had to calm herself down in such chaos.

Now, if you can’t bear small things, you will mess up big plans.

However, things are far in a worse direction, beyond Mu Lan’s expectations, everything is like a huge whirlpool, dragging people into it a little bit, even the right to resist is not there.

The more you describe it, the more black it is, and the more you spread it, the more outrageous it is.

…… When the

lotus fragrance appeared in front of Mu Lan again, it was already scared of cold sweat, looking at Mu Lan, breathing in a big mouth, his face was pale and frightening, as if he had been unable to recover from such consternation.

This kind of lotus fragrance, let Mu Lan heart uneasy premonition also more and more intense. It took a long time for Ho-hsiang,

the “eldest lady,” to recover. “All the slaves in the palace who had died before were found. Their bodies were piled up one by one by a dry well not far from the cold palace. Many of them had already begun to grow maggots and rot, and the stench came in waves.”

Hexiang spoke very fast, as if the dead people were chasing Hexiang behind them.

“But they all died in the same way as Mrs. Ann. They had their hearts cut out.” He Xiang finished the last sentence and almost spit it out. The minions

outside described it vividly.

And all the people in the palace rushed to the dry well. The place in the

cold palace has never been so lively.

And coincidentally, that nearby is also Mu Lan once lived, that is before the Hungry Ghost Festival, Qu Huachang deliberately let Mu Lan live in the west wing side, there is the location of the cold palace.

And the bodies of these slaves were found near there.

Most importantly, these slaves, are rumors in the palace, once offended Mu Lan’s slaves.

All of a sudden, the palace was in chaos.

“So?” Mu Lan slightly twisted his eyebrows.

He Xiang looked at Mu Lan again, hesitating to speak, and Mu Lan ordered lightly: “Say what you have heard.”

“Yes.” He Xiang answered, “The slaves in the palace are saying that you are a sorceress who specializes in eating hearts.”. These slaves who have offended you have all been eaten by you, and because they have attracted attention, they have disappeared. But you can’t live without eating. It happened that Mrs. Ann had offended you, so you attacked Mrs. Ann.

“Nonsense.” Mu Lan sneered.

“The people in the palace described it so vividly that almost everyone knew it.” He Xiang went on to say, “Young lady, what are you going to do about this? If it goes on like this, everyone will know about it, and then it will be out of control.”

Hexiang’s worry is not without reason.

Mu Lan naturally knew the answer to Ho Hsiang’s question, and she just reassured him: “I’ll handle it.”

“Young lady..” He Xiang’s panic could not be stopped.

“You are staying in the East Palace now. You are not allowed to leave the East Palace again without my permission.” Mu Lan answered, “I don’t want you to be implicated. After all, everyone knows that you are the one I brought in. Do you know?”

“The maidservant knows.” Hexiang nodded at once.

The shivering fear was still visible.

Mu Lan did not say anything more, and quickly turned and walked out of the bedroom. He Xiang wanted to stop Mu Lan, but he didn’t open his mouth in the end.

Mu Lan always has a sense of propriety in doing things.

Hexiang stood quietly, silent.

As a result, Mu Lan has not left, Li Shiyuan’s figure has come in from outside the bedroom, even without the communication of eunuchs, Mu Lan’s footsteps stopped, Li Shiyuan has stood in front of Mu Lan.

“I have seen the prince.” Mu Lanfu blessed the body and paid his respects.

Li Shiyuan looked down at Mu Lan from a commanding position. Mu Lan did not dodge Li Shiyuan’s eyes. He asked quietly, “Your Highness also thinks that these things were done by my concubines?”
