He Linwan went to Wanshou Palace with He Zhen, Xue Wanqing and Mu Lanping to listen to the play, and when he walked to the gate of Wanshou Palace, He Linwan deliberately took a few more looks.

Wanshou Palace was building at this time, the craftsmen were going in and out, knocking and beating was noisy, and a team of patrolling guards happened to walk by the door, and He Linwan saw Li Yu standing among the guards at a glance.

At the moment when He Linwan looked over, Li Yu looked over with feeling, and after seeing that it was her, he hooked the corners of his mouth at her, He Linwan also subconsciously bent his lips, and then immediately restrained his expression, so as not to be seen by others.

When the two sides were about to pass by, Mu Lanping on the side suddenly waved happily to the front: "Cousin!

He Linwan followed Mu Lanping's gaze and saw Mu Zhizhen hurrying towards him.

He Linwan frowned, and couldn't help but glance in the direction of Li Yu, Li Yu was facing away from Mu Zhizhen, and there was nothing wrong with his back, and he was standing in the middle of a group of guards, so it stands to reason that he should not attract Mu Zhizhen's attention.

Mu Zhizhen saw that Mu Lanping and He Linwan were a little surprised, but he just nodded, and then shouted at the guards who had already walked over, "You wait." ”

He Linwan chuckled in his heart, and looked back, the guards were already about to come to the corner at this time, and they didn't seem to hear Mu Zhizhen's words, and they didn't stop.

Mu Zhizhen frowned: "The team of guards in front, wait!"

Mu Zhizhen wants to catch up.

Mu Lanping and the others also turned back curiously, and Mu Lanping whispered, "What's the matter?

There is indeed a problem with that team of guards, because Li Yu is among them, and if Mu Zhizhen finds out that Li Yu is in the palace, the consequences will be unimaginable. He Linwan didn't know why Mu Zhizhen suddenly appeared here, whether she got any news, she only knew that she couldn't let Mu Zhizhen catch up with Li Yu, although Li Yu, who had been disguised, might not be recognized by Mu Zhizhen, but she was not afraid of 10,000 just in case.

He Lin didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly raised his hand and scratched it on Mu Lanping's wrist, and the tourmaline bracelet on Mu Lanping's wrist suddenly broke the line, and the round and clear tourmaline beads rolled to the ground one after another, making a crisp sound.

Mu Lanping found that the bracelet had fallen off and exclaimed. At the same time, Mu Zhizhen, who had already taken a few steps, suddenly slipped and fell, and there were a few rolling tourmaline beads where he fell.

Mu Lanping also found that his lobby brother accidentally stepped on the tourmaline beads that he had fallen to the ground, he was stunned, and hurriedly ran over to help Mu Zhizhen up, his face was full of embarrassment and apology.

"I'm sorry, brother, I didn't mean to, this bracelet broke without knowing why, are you okay?"

Mu Zhizhen ignored Mu Lanping, he pushed Mu Lanping away after he stood up, and walked quickly to the team of guards. The guards finally heard the movement, stopped, and looked back.

He Linwan, who had always been holding his heart, breathed a sigh of relief that Li Yu was no longer in that team.

"Lord Mu, is this?" the leading guard looked at Mu Zhizhen who was walking briskly in surprise, and his gaze paused on his dusty robe.

Mu Zhizhen patted his robe casually, looked at them and smiled, without a trace of embarrassment on his face: "Are you patrolling the Wanshou Palace today? I came to the Wanshou Palace to supervise the work by His Majesty's order, and I forgot to bring the drawings when I was in a hurry, I wonder if I can ask you to send someone to the Ministry of Works to help me run errands? When I leave the palace, I will invite you to drink." ”

The leading guard said heartily: "It's just a trivial matter, Master Mu doesn't have to be polite, I'll send someone over." ”

Mu Zhizhen arched his hand, "Thank you." ”

The lead guard pointed to someone, and then went on patrol.

Mu Zhizhen waited for them to leave before looking at He Linwan and the others, his eyes stayed on He Linwan's face for a moment, then he smiled and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was rude just now, and I was in a hurry to do something, so I was in a hurry." ”

Mu Lanping said embarrassedly: "It's time for me to apologize, just now my hand was broken, and the lobby brother fell down, the lobby brother didn't hurt anything, right?"

Mu Zhizhen shook his head, "It's nothing." ”

He glanced at the tourmaline beads scattered on the ground, squatted down and picked them up one by one.

Mu Lanping hurriedly said: "You don't need to pick it up, brother! it's just a string of bracelets." ”

Mu Zhizhen said: "Other people will slip when they step on it." ”

Mu Lanping was even more embarrassed, her maid reacted and hurriedly helped to pick up the beads, and Chunxiao and other maids also stepped forward to help.

He Linwan saw that Mu Zhizhen finally picked up the red rope with beads, and she squinted her eyes slightly.

Mu Zhizhen took the red rope and looked at it, smiled at Mu Lanping, and said gently: "In the future, remember to use a stronger rope for strings." ”

Mu Lanping said obediently: "Got it, cousin." ”

Mu Zhizhen got up, looked at He Linwan and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, Miss He has changed a lot, and I almost didn't recognize it just now." ”

His smile was warm, as if he was making an old friend.

He Linwan also smiled, "Mu Gongzi has also changed a lot. ”

Mu Zhizhen thought about it and sighed slightly, "Also, people change, and I am naturally no exception." ”

After Mu Zhizhen finished speaking, he nodded to He Linwan and the others, and then walked towards the Wanshou Palace not far away.

Mu Lanping looked at Mu Zhizhen's back, and then looked at He Linwan, a little curious, "It turns out that Miss He is not only an old friend of my eldest sister, but also familiar with my lobby brother?"

He Linwan said lightly: "I can't say how familiar I am, the capital is so big, and I can always meet a few times when I go out when I am young." ”

Mu Lanping said with a smile: "That's different, although my lobby brother looks very good-tempered, but ordinary people can't get into his eyes, he can specially greet you, indicating that he regards you as a friend." ”

He Linwan smiled: "Really? Then I'm really honored." ”

Mu Lanping didn't notice it, but Xue Wanqing glanced at He Linwan thoughtfully.

Mu Lanping said: "Oh, let's go quickly, but don't get too late." ”

He Linwan glanced in the direction of Wanshou Palace and followed Mu Lanping and the others away.

Along the way, He Linwan was a little absent-minded.

Why did Mu Zhizhen suddenly come to Wanshou Palace? Under the pretext of supervising the palace, He Linwan naturally didn't believe it. Could it be that he also came for that token? In case the token was found by him first, wouldn't the plan for this period of time be in vain?

And just now he called that team of guards, is it really just a coincidence?

Mu Zhizhen is the next head of the Mu family, his mind is naturally not simple, and He Linwan can't see him through. Such a person is of course the most reliable as an ally, and likewise, the most dangerous when he is an enemy.
