The news of the emperor's serious illness was concealed at first, but as the early dynasty was postponed day by day, the palace gate was closed and even the prime minister and cabinet ministers were nowhere to be seen.

The atmosphere in the capital became strange for a while. The rumors about the emperor were not dared to be widely publicized by the people, but the undercurrent of collective silence made the situation in Beijing even more tense.

I heard that even the prince of Runan, the "No. 1 gentleman in Beijing", no longer walks the and horse, and he is missing from the Qinglou restaurant, and I heard that he is staying honestly in the Runan Palace.

"Even a few main streets are a lot less people, the restaurant teahouse is even more cold, the guests can be counted on ten fingers all day long, some of the shops in the middle of the location are directly closed, but the business of the grain shop is a lot better, the people are buying food and going home to store, this is going to stay at home and not go out!" Ah Gui told Mu Zi about the recent situation in the capital, and he was a little embarrassed.

"That being the case, then we will also buy more things in the house, and in the recent days, let everyone go out less, and it is best not to go out!"

"Yes!" Ah Gui answered, and ran out to inform the account office and purchase.

Ah Gui went for less than a cup of tea, and came back in a hurry, "Miss, the British Mansion sent someone to send a post over, saying that the British Duchess has met the little lady, please Miss and the little lady go to the British Mansion as guests!" ”

Well? Mu Zi lowered her head and pondered, her brows furrowed slightly.

No matter how dissatisfied the British duchess is with herself, she should not take the risk of Sister Yuan. Now that the situation in Beijing is tense, how can she deliver the post at this time?

Mu Zi thought for a while and asked, "Are you sure the person who came is from the British Mansion?" ”

"Yes, the porter said that the post was sent by Wang Changlin, whether the British government sent a post or a New Year's gift, most of them sent him, and even the slaves and maids had seen him a few times!" Gui said.

Wang Changlin? Surname Wang?

There are not many minions with the surname king in the British government, and they can't get the surname of the master just because they are honest. In this way, this Wang Changlin is still somewhat decent in the British Mansion.

"Prepare the car!" Mu Zi rubbed her forehead, a little tired.

"Miss, do you really want to take Miss to the British Mansion?" Ah Gui hesitated, and wanted to persuade a few words.

"It's not very quiet outside, I'll go by myself this time, and I won't bring Sister Yuan!" Mu Zi made up her mind.

"This ......" Ah Gui thought to herself, it is better not to go by yourself, the British duchess may be even more angry if she can't see the little lady!

"What about Sister Yuan? Where did you go with Ahri? Mu Zi walked to the dresser and sat down, and began to prepare for her appearance.

"The little lady and Ahri went to play with the green sheep! The nurse and the star rain are both following! "Since Mr. Guigu entered the palace, these two children and a fox have been together all day long, and they are inseparable.

Mu Zi nodded reassuringly, said no more, and after packing up, he took the carriage to the British Mansion.

The streets are noticeably colder, and most of the small vendors are no longer out of their stalls unless they are forced to make a living. The shops on the street are also crowded.

Mu Zi sighed, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the people of the capital have reached the point of being frightened, which shows the tension in the capital. Mu Zi couldn't help but be even more suspicious, was the post really sent by the British Duchess?
