Tuoba Tao and He Mulan were forced to take shelter in Wang Muyun's house, and there was a lot of noise outside, obviously it was not as simple as Wang Muyun said to send these people away.

He Mulan was anxious, and Tuoba Tao actually had the face to comfort her: "Don't worry, if there is really something, I will go out." Do you know the woman? ”

"That's the girl of the Wang family, and the mother family is the Yuwen family." He Mulan nodded, "I have a very good personal relationship with her, I didn't expect her to enter the palace." I thought it didn't matter to her. ”

There is a lot of regret in the words.

"Is it really that bad to marry me?" Tuoba Tao touched his face and said a little depressedly: "One or two, even if you say it clearly and clearly, you are still hesitant." All the women of the world are to marry, so isn't it good to marry me and be protected by me? ”

Tuoba Tao's words seemed to condemn Mullan's regretful tone, but it sounded like it meant something. If you change to a sensitive woman, you will probably guess that Tuoba Tao may have said this because she means something, but fortunately, Hermulan first understands Tuoba Tao's character, and secondly, she has self-knowledge of her appearance and character, she knows that Tuoba Tao likes big breasts, waist and thin buttocks, and she just smiled when she heard the words.

"Turnip greens have their own loves, maybe people just want to live a simple life, not to soar?"

"Don't talk about that." Tuoba Tao's face suddenly became heavy, "Listening to the conversation between the palace maid and Lu Qiniang, it seems that there are many female officials and palace maids in the palace who are really colluding with the ministers. The daughter of the Wang family doesn't even shy away from the palace maid when she speaks, and she is not afraid that she will know even when she hides us, which shows how loyal she is to the Lu and Wang families. Although it is just an ordinary female official in the East Palace, if there are no such people in the palace, wouldn't a random cup of poisonous wine end my life! ”

He Mulan was slightly stunned, and felt a little sad in his heart for some reason.

The final fate of this majesty seems to have really been ended by a cup of poisoned wine from the trusted palace people.

Perhaps by taking this opportunity, he may be able to reverse the fate of Tuoba Tao in the future.

With this thought, He Mulan opened his mouth to advise: "Not long after the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, the system was incomplete, and almost all the palace people relied on the prisoners to enter the palace, especially the female officials and palace maids, except for a few who came to marry each other, most of them entered the palace for crimes. How many people can be like the Empress Dowager Dou, even if all the men in the family are convicted, they are still loyal to the two Majestic? Most people are resentful that they will be punished like this, right? ”

Tuoba was stunned.

"Since the day I rose up, the people who served me were all slaves. Since the person who made the mistake has become a slave and does not need to be in the palace, can he still be killed? Now there is a shortage of people everywhere, many of these women are literate and counted, isn't it the best end to enter the palace? Is it better to be an official and maid outside than in the palace? ”

"That's not what I meant. Because most of the palace people are not from good families, their identities and origins are not so easy to figure out. Some people with strong personalities, or gloomy personalities, may endure the hatred in their hearts and want to take revenge in the future. ”

He Mullan sighed.

"What's more, the harem is so small, there are not enough women to live in at all, but His Majesty never lets people out of the palace, these people live in the palace day after day, there are more and more people, but the days are getting worse and worse, and there is no pursuit at all, and naturally there is no motivation for effective loyalty. If you are loyal to you, you can return to freedom, or you can be released from the palace, and these people will not betray. ”

The female officials and palace maids of other dynasties still have some fat powder money and moon silver or something, and they can also subsidize their families or dream of leaving the palace after the amnesty, and they don't want to cause trouble.

But these palace people were originally affected by the sinful men in the family to enter the palace, and some families were all doing hard labor in the palace, the men were castrated into eunuchs, and the women were used as cattle and horses, how could they not hate?

The Northern Wei Dynasty didn't even have a good fortune! No matter how big a female official you are, you just get a little more reward. Like the Empress Dowager Dou, who can climb from a female prisoner to the status of the Empress Dowager, how many can there be in thousands of years?

They are all the same people, but the circumstances are different, before they may be golden branches and jade leaves, and they are the sons of gentlemen, and then they fall to the bottom, trampled by others, and there is no chance to turn over.

As for the palace maid, it may not be the Lu and Cui families who knew each other before they were convicted and entered the palace. can enter the palace as a palace maid after being convicted, how can it be a small family?

Tuoba Tao listened to He Mulan's words, his face turned red and white for a while, as if he had never thought that those palace people who had entered the palace for sin would have any thoughts.

Most of the people who served by his side and could enter him were the sons of the nobles, or the palace people who had screened him out during the period of the first emperor, and they were enough to rest assured that they were loyal and talented.

But the palace people also have birth, old age, sickness and death, and the people around him will definitely change slowly. Now he is only in his early twenties, but the eunuch leader Zhao Changshou, who was left by his father, is already forty years old.

In the general election, there are palace maids who will "take care" of these nobles so much, but what about the harem? Could something more amazing happen?

Tuoba Tao's thoughts stretched out suddenly, and then he thought that he was already in his twenties, and he only had one son, and he was born because the Empress Dowager Dou took people into the palace to take care of him personally.

Mrs. Du had two miscarriages, and if she hadn't been in good health, she would have had an accident long ago; Mrs. Dugu is still not pregnant......

Those pregnant concubines were either dead or stillborn, he always felt that he had killed too much, but now he thought about it according to Hemulan's words, and couldn't help but shudder.

If there are some evil minds in the harem, they don't want him to stay......

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking? The face is so terrible? He Mulan had never seen Tuoba Tao's face so hideous, almost vicious, and he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

It's over, won't she go overboard, and it turns out to be overkill, right?

Although Majesty is wise, he always says that the wind is the rain, but don't really come to a "killing spree" or something!

"It's nothing, I'm thinking about what you said, and there is some truth to it."

Tuoba Tao touched his chin.

This is his usual action when thinking.

"Now there are a lot of palace people in the palace who are old, and there are a lot of people who have served the three dynasties, and there are really not so many people living in the harem, do you want to let some out......"

Tuoba Tao muttered.

"It's just a big wedding, and there is a reason to let some out."

He Mulan knew that Tuoba Tao was not telling the truth, but she was a courtier, and she had no reason to force the lord to speak in her heart, so she could only sigh, hoping in her heart that there would be no turmoil.

The two were discussing the affairs of the palace people, and Wang Muyun, who had solved the chaos outside, pushed open his door and walked in cautiously.

Seeing her coming, the two quickly stood up.

"How?"

He Mullan asked with concern.

"General Hua, although I don't know why you are here, for the sake of friends, I have done my best to protect you so far. Don't you know that a man appears in the womb of the draft and can destroy everyone? Wang Muyun's face was corrupt, and he seemed to be in a hurry to lose his proportions.

The crime of "fornication/disorder in the palace" is enough to make all the women in the harem talk about it, and it is normal for Wang Muyun to be so angry.

"When the turmoil stops for a while, you can leave quickly!"

"I ......"

"Next time I talk to Su Hejun, he wants to check what he wants to check himself, don't let his friends take such a risk for him!" Wang Muyun thought that He Mulan was the same as last time, and he was investigating something for Su Hejun, but he didn't expect that the last time was Su Hejun's excuse, and this time it had nothing to do with Su Hejun.

Poor Su Hejun, he was really shot while lying down.

"Why are you still involved with Su Hejun?" Tuoba Tao was inexplicable, "You said that we were trespassing, but the women in your Eastern Courtyard were all sick, but you could jump around, and that Lu Qiniang also looked like a good life, isn't it a bully?" ”

Wang Muyun's face stiffened when he heard Tuobatao's words, and he raised his eyes to look at He Mulan, his eyes full of inquiry.

"Ahem, this is my friend Du Shou. You're right, we're here to check on something, but it's not because of Su Hejun. "Hemulan has a dry cough." We'll leave later, don't worry. ”

"If it weren't for the Wang family's promise to me, as long as I entered the palace to participate in this election, let my grandfather return to the clan, why would I be trapped here and pretend to be sick." Wang Muyun gritted his teeth, "It's me who bullied the king, and it has nothing to do with my grandfather and aunt." ”

Tuoba Tao was about to say something, but He Mulan pulled his sleeve and stopped him with his eyes.

"We did come to check on the sick women of the candidates. In addition to Lu Qiniang, who seems to be really in poor health, who else is pretending to be sick like you? Or is it really sick? ”

He Mulan said softly: "Yun Niang, please sue me." I'll go and tell His Majesty that there is still room for reversal, if I really send someone else to investigate, it may not have such a good ending. ”

He Mulan's words were mild, but in fact, there was a faint threat.

"The third lady of the harem of His Majesty has already been full, and there are rumors that the position of Zhaoyi has already been prepared for Princess Yu Jiulu of Rouran and Princess Xingping who is about to marry Beiliang, and the rest of the positions are pitiful for the five surnamed women, even in the Wei and Jin dynasties, there is no such low rank as the five surnamed women, and several families are unwilling to marry their daughters......"

Wang Muyun didn't have a good impression of these families, and his words were full of ridicule.

"I only pity these women who are alternative. Lu Qiniang was divorced by her fiancé's family on the grounds of 'illness' and had to enter the palace to run for election; For example, the concubines and nieces sent by other families are also very greasy, and some of them are simply stiff. ”

Wang Muyun frowned when he saw He Mulan, and the anger in his tone was a little calmer, "And the women in the palace have a difficult heir, His Majesty has only one son in the prime of life, and the pregnant one is also Mrs. Helai, and many women are unwilling to marry in the palace." If His Majesty can't give birth, forget it, but so many children have died before and after, and there are stillbirths, who is not afraid? ”

"Bold!"

Tuoba Tao glared at Wang Muyun in red.

"Talking about the royal family is also arrogance!"

"I thought General Hua was a friend, so I was blunt. Who is impatient to listen to those things that are false? ”

Wang Muyun sighed.

"Those who can 'pretend to be sick', of course, more or less really make themselves sick, and they can't find out. I was also infected with a cold a few days ago, but I have always had a strong body and bones, and I didn't take any medicine and wore thin clothes every day, but I was still fine, otherwise why do I have to do this, and when I see a person, I should be here to ask for guilt! ”

She was a cheerful woman, and she directly said why she made a fuss as soon as she saw the two eunuchs stretching out her head and sticking out her brains, which made Hermulan laugh when she heard her explanation.

"I'll just say, you didn't frown at the dozens of members of the Cui family, and you were actually shocked like a rabbit!"

Tuoba Tao was originally annoyed by Wang Muyun's "outspokenness", but when she heard her relaxed in front of Mulan, he knew that her personal relationship was indeed very good, and he didn't treat Mulan as an outsider, knowing that she would not harm her, so he explained in such detail.

Hearing the "embarrassment" that she wanted to get sick and recover without medicine, Tuoba Tao also laughed.

The atmosphere in the room was even better, and He Mullan dared to continue asking.

"I came here because His Majesty was worried that there was a good family in the palace who had a bad disease, but he didn't report it in order to run for election, so he and this friend came over to check quietly. Since it's not a bad disease, it's just a cold wind, so I'll go back and explain it. And so we guess......"

He Mulan looked at Tuoba Tao, afraid that he would be angry.

"The fifth surnamed girl has been reluctant to marry a Xianbei person for a long time, so looking at it, Dugunuo's kid is really good."

can marry a concubine with five surnames, even the emperor doesn't have this life.

"It's not livestock, what kind of species are it, it's all self-labeling." Wang Muyun sneered, "When you are down, the peddlers and pawns will be married, and see who looks down on whom!" ”

"This girl is so happy!"

Tuoba Tao was already aggrieved when he was rejected by the five surnames, but when he heard her words, he was immediately relieved, and almost didn't lead her as a confidant.

"It's not breeding!"

Seeing that Tuoba Tao was interested in Wang Muyun, and seeing that Wang Muyun was also a big-breasted and upturned type, He Mulan suddenly chuckled in his heart and quickly changed the topic.

"By the way, why did that Lu Qiniang faint when she saw me before? And last time in the plum garden, her face changed greatly when she saw me, have I offended her before? I don't think I've seen many girls! ”

"You don't know who she is for a long time, and she's scared to death, because you've had nightmares for months, and even your body has become bad......"

Wang Muyun was stunned and said: "She went to her uncle's house as a guest before, and happened to meet you knocking on the door of Cui's house, she couldn't dodge for a while, and was almost trampled to death by you in the verandah, if it wasn't for a friend of yours who rolled her leg away with a whip and took her out, she was afraid that her life would be gone, do you think she is afraid?" ”

"You and the Montenegrin army have come down from the battlefield, and they are full of terrible anger. She's not like me, her uncle's family is full of martial artists, she's just a virtuous woman who studies and paints at home, and when she encounters this kind of thing, she looks like the reincarnation of a murderous star, killing gods and asking for her life, that's why she is so out of shape. ”

He Mulan knew why, and glanced sideways at Tuoba Tao. It was this person's idea to make a big fuss about Cui's house, she was just going to make a show, and she didn't make a fuss about her life.

"Hey, no, who's around me with a whip?" He Mulan was stunned, "If you say that I use a whip, I don't use a whip often, and I don't use it often, only on the day I went to Cui's Mansion, I did save a little girl......

"Huh?"

Wang Muyun was dumbfounded.

"Not a friend of yours? She also went out of her way to inquire, saying that she was calling a few people. ”

"Some of those boys use knives, right?" Tuoba Tao smiled, "Did you go out of your way to inquire?" It seems that Lu Qiniang has good intentions in order to repay the 'life-saving grace', and some people are really good at this kid, and they have picked up a confidante behind Mulan. ”

Mullan smiled.

"If that's the case, I'm still bothering Yun Niang not to sue Lu Qi Niang, just let her keep treating me as a fierce god. If she knew that I had almost stepped on her and saved her, I would have been even more uneasy. If I have the opportunity to go back, I will let some people explain it themselves. ”

can't say that there is a mistake, and another marriage has been achieved. Some people can solve their own inexplicable stickiness.

Wang Muyun didn't expect that there was such a □□ in this, and under the amazement, he couldn't help but sigh that sometimes he couldn't even see it, not to mention that there were many people who convicted people just by saying one thing.

"There is a sentence that maybe I shouldn't ask......" He Mulan hesitated for a while, but still opened his mouth for Tuobatao: "Why would the palace maid who served Lu Qiniang be willing to hide it for you?" ”

"Are you going to blame her?" Wang Muyun was keenly aware of the meaning of He Mulan's words, "Can you spare her life?" I begged her not to say it. ”

She knew that this palace maid's behavior today was already very inappropriate, and she was not sure what He Mulan and the others had heard outside Lu Qiniang's house before, so she could only intercede for that woman first.

"It depends on what the situation is."

Tuoba Tao's expression was stern. "The palace maid colluded with outsiders, and was even willing to cover up ...... like this"

She is also a poor person, the whole family entered the palace after being convicted, and her other sisters and brothers became official slaves and were given to several ministers in the court, one of whom entered the Lu family, mixed well, and became a housekeeper next to the Lu family's mother. This time Lu Qiniang entered the palace, the Lu family was worried that something would happen to her if she was not in good health, and they knew that the sister of the housekeeper was a palace maid in the East Palace, and it took a lot of effort to ask her to take care of Qiniang. ”

Wang Muyun said indifferently: "Don't say that Qi Niang is the palace maid served by other noble girls, and most of them are reliable people who are trying to find ways to find them." If you go and see who are serving around the Wei Chi family, the Dugu family, and several families, you will know that this kind of thing is really common. ”

"Then she'll cover it up for you......"

"I have some friendship with Lu Qiniang, she is really sick, and it just so happens that I am not as urgent as her illness, so I took care of her by the way. I got better, and I didn't rush to ask the female official to move me out, just to take care of Qi Niang. She and the maid were grateful to me, so they were willing to cover up for me, they took such a big risk, I couldn't let her die because of this. ”

Wang Muyun raised his eyes and looked at Tuoba Tao: "Your Majesty, I said almost everything, can you spare her life?" ”

This sound was earth-shattering, and He Mulan and Tuoba Tao were dumbfounded.

"General Hua is a calm person, since she didn't come to the harem for Su Hejun, it must be the meaning of His Majesty. Although you are wearing the clothes of a eunuch, you are still not as powerful as those fake men, so that General Hua can not worry about the issue of reputation, and can interrupt General Hua's words to ask me, it must be the legendary one who likes to be in micro-clothes...... The majesty of the private patrol is gone. ”

Wang Muyun choked and said casually: "I'm still worried about you, but now that I think about it, it seems like a nosy and a big fuss." ”

Where can't he go in the whole palace?

Tuoba Tao didn't expect that so many women hadn't guessed his identity (fog) before, this woman debunked it in a few words, and couldn't help but feel good in her heart, nodded and responded:

"Well, I spared the maid's life, and I not only spared her life, but also let her be with her sisters. Since she has relatives in the Lu family, I will order someone to send her out of the palace and send her to the Lu family. ”

Such an unfaithful palace maid happened to be sent out to beat the Lu family, and it also saved the murder.

Wang Muyun also thought that if she was to be sent out of the palace, she would not necessarily be welcomed by the Lu family, but people almost lost their lives for the Lu family, so it was already very good, so she could only kneel down and thank her.

He Mulan and Tuoba Tao were delayed for a long time in the East Courtyard because of Wang Muyun's relationship, and when they returned the same way to pass through the small opening, they were caught by a group of guards waiting for the rabbit.

It turned out that Wang Muyun sent them away, but they still felt that the situation was wrong, so they searched all around, and finally found that although it was well concealed, there was a hole that people could enter and exit.

This time it was terrible, and the leader of the guards sent someone to plug the hole, and at the same time sent someone to find other generals who could do the master to deal with it.

These noble ladies are mixed with people with bad intentions, but it's a scandal! If they want to cover it up, they will offend people if they make a big fuss.

Many of the guards outside knew Tuobatao, but no one knew him when they were sent to guard here, He Mulan and Tuoba Tao were caught when they came out, the other party had knives and guns, Tuoba Tao and He Mulan were bare-handed, in order to protect Tuoba Tao from injury, the two could only fight with the guards, and ran away.

Both of them are military generals of the world, fighting in and out on the battlefield, Tuoba Tao deliberately tested the skills of the guards, and he was ruthless, and the two of them ran out with their bare hands to a group of guards.

Tuoba Tao successfully escaped, while he was proud of his martial arts, he was also worried that the palace guards were not good, if someone really came to assassinate him, maybe he could let people escape.

The two of them ran all the way to the place where other women to be selected lived, causing a lot of chickens and dogs, during which there were also "guards vs. flower thieves in the palace" and other bridges, and the courage of the two fake eunuchs shocked a group of women who wanted to defect to the "flower thief" and waved their flags and shouted.

In the last chaos, the guards in the palace even used bows and arrows, Tuoba Tao couldn't care about being embarrassed when he saw it like this, if he really wanted to cover up his face, he couldn't say that he would be shot to death by a brainless person, so he had to show his identity, and changed his dragon robe in the East Palace in an uproar, and let the palace people come to set up a guard of honor, and swaggered back to the palace.

It's a "swagger", but it looks more like a desert escape.

Anyway, Tuoba Tao could already foresee all kinds of roars from the ministers the next day.

It's really the next day......

"What? Are all the sick people in the East Courtyard well? When Tuoba Tao heard the return, he jumped up in shock. I also want the harem to be quiet and quiet, ah no, that's not the point......"

"Didn't you still dislike it yesterday?"

He was furious.

"Why do you want to marry one by one!"

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Lady A: Your Majesty is so handsome.

Lady B: Your Majesty has a good figure.

Noble Lady C: Your Majesty is good at martial arts.

Lady Ding: Your Majesty is so interesting.

Everyone: Forget it, if you still have a disease, it's not impossible to make do with it.

Tuoba Tao: ...... What about your rituals?
