Emperor Ying is located in the central area of southern Fujian, and the environment of the new emperor is complex, so it is inevitable that some friendly neighboring countries or ally countries will send people to congratulate and express their attitudes, but Mu Lige did not expect that the "friendly countries" who came here also include...... Exotic.

After completing the enthronement ceremony, he still wore the court clothes when he ascended the throne, wearing a red blue and purple dragon robe, the gauze robe is a layer of crimson color, with a cirrus crown, the crown is decorated with 24 curly beams, one foot high, one foot wide curly beams, and the jade rhino hairpin is used to guide it when wearing.

He was followed by two courtiers in court clothes, one was Liu Wenzhi, who had just been appointed to participate in politics, and the other was Jing Zhaoyin Huajiazi, and the three of them came to the imperial study together.

There is nothing special about the red lacquered wooden box, the six sides of the wooden board are ordinary materials, about a cubit high, the only special thing is that the surface of the red lacquered wooden box gradually leached out of a layer of mist smoke, and its bottom base was wet with water stains.

Mu Lige didn't fake his hands on others, and after he personally opened the wooden box, his eyes touched the objects inside, and his warm eyes became deeper and deeper.

And Liu Wenzhi and Hua Jiazi were stunned.

But I saw a neck-length severed head in the wooden box.

Mu Lige picked up a piece of silk and wiped his fingers, curled his lips and smiled.

"Looks like they've found us in a foreign land."

Liu Wenzhi's face was ugly, he stared at the head deadly, and said: "People from foreign lands are simply too deceitful, but they chose to send this and this kind of filth when His Majesty ascended the throne today, isn't it with the evil idea of touching the moldy head of my Ying Emperor Kingdom?!" ”

Compared to Liu Wenzhi's indignant words, Hua Jiazi seemed much calmer, he stroked the two beautiful beards on his lips, and a pair of slender eyes were full of wisdom: "Your Majesty, although this matter has caused us to lose an undercover agent, it has also allowed us to be sure of some things...... Foreigners have indeed begun to invade the trade fortunes of our Ying Imperial Kingdom, and their hands and feet have already touched the Cao Yun and salt industries, but Xiao Lao'er privately thinks that it is not the work of the Lazy Emperor to send the matter of human heads to disrupt the throne hall today, and he has a hundred ways to warn and threaten us, but he will never choose to do so...... Stupid way. ”

"Maybe, but it's not rude, we should also choose a return gift for them." Mu Lige's eyes cut open the wooden box, looked at a certain part of the air, and chuckled casually.

Although he is noncommittal about the inference of the think tank Hua Jiazi, he actually thinks this way in his heart.

"So...... Our battle with the Exotic has just begun......" Hua Jiazi habitually stroked the tip of his beard, and the slightly raised slender eyebrows concealed a lot of meaning.

"Princess! Princess! Ay?! Wait a little longer, Your Majesty is ......"

There was a nervous shouting and noisy noise at the door, but "Bah! With a bang, the closed door was kicked open from the outside, and a bright and arrogant voice poured in with the light outside.

"Brother Huang, you have gone too far, I have agreed that you will get all the men around me away, but why do you want to ban me from leaving the palace!"

As soon as Mu Lige heard Mu Xiaofeng's voice, he had a headache, even if he loved her again, he couldn't help but be angry when he trespassed into the imperial study like her and disturbed him to negotiate political affairs.

As soon as she broke in, Yu Ziying saw the head on top of the bookcase at a glance, she said that she was not afraid at all except for a little doubt, but she was not afraid at all, and then she played Mu Xiaofeng not necessarily, she had never seen such a bloody scene, when she covered her mouth and screamed: "Ah-"

"Shut up!" Mu Lige only felt that her eardrums were faintly painful by her shock, and immediately let out a breath and closed the wooden box.

And Liu Wenyi saw that this ghostly Princess Bao Dai was coming, and his first reaction was that after finishing the salute perfectly so that she could not make a mistake, she lowered her head and pulled her lips to remain silent is Jin's beautiful character, and Hua Jiazi is an old man in the end, and the so-called old man is the courage to face the brain-dead enemy, so he smiled and narrowed a pair of seemingly sinister Mimi eyes, respectfully greeted her, and tried his best to learn to be a gecko to dilute his existence.

Hua Jiazi once served as Mu Lige's master for a period of time, and the master is like a father, and in formal occasions that are not particularly important, he does not need to make a big salute with Mu Xiaofeng.

And Mu Xiaofeng's attitude towards these two people has always been contempt and ignorance, just as they hate her, she also hates them, but unfortunately one is Mu Lige's playmate, and the other is the existence of both master and father, even if she wants to find trouble with them, she needs to weigh the consequences, besides, one of these two people is not good at stubble and the other is an old fox, where can a villain like Mu Xiaofeng take it.

"It's also for your own good to ban you, so that you don't have to go out to make trouble again, have you forgotten that you were assassinated when you left the palace three days ago?" Every time he faced Mu Xiaofeng's nonsense, the expression on Mu Lige's face was frowning except helplessness.

The so-called assassination was actually unplanned, and the purpose was naturally to smoothly transfer the contract.

Mu Xiaofeng, the infant version of Yu Zi, seemed to have lingering palpitations about what he had just seen, ignoring his reprimand, instead pointing to the lacquered mahogany box and asking in a daze: "Brother Huang, brother, what is that?" ”

"You don't need to know anything about this." Mu Lige took a step sideways, blocking her sight, and said, "From today onwards, you must revisit the court etiquette and behavioral norms, otherwise this marriage with Chaoyuan Kingdom will be done, even if you lose an ally, I must not let you lose the face of my Ying Imperial Kingdom again." ”

It seems that her behavior this time did provoke Mu Lige, and she directly said such a serious cruel word, but her purpose was also achieved, that is, to isolate herself as much as possible and show up less to arouse suspicion.

"Brother Huang, I—I didn't mean it just now." Yu Ziying lowered her head, her hands were tangled, and she silently recited the lines: "You got me, the people of the other people, and you didn't let me leave the palace, and you didn't tell me when I could go to Chaoyuan Kingdom......"

"Emperor Jing's concubine selection date is in the middle of the year, what are you anxious about?" Mu Lige glanced at her and interrupted her impatiently.

"I'm not in a hurry, but I'm bored, or ...... Will you let me out of the palace and take a walk? I promise never to cause trouble again. Yu Ziying stepped forward and grabbed one of his hands, ready to symbolically be coquettish, but she obviously ignored the difference between her and Mu Xiaofeng, that is, her strange power.

She couldn't grasp the importance of being coquettish for a while, which was dragging, and the light thing was the art of touching, and she pulled it directly, and almost didn't pull Mu Lige and stumbled forward.

Suffered! Yu Ziying immediately put him down, took advantage of the situation to hold his arm, and after steady, he put on an innocent face.

After Mu Lige stood in danger, he looked at Yu Ziying in surprise, seeing that she didn't know anything at all, what happened just now must be a coincidence, he frowned.

"Let's go? Oh, do you think I don't know what you want to do? ”

Yu Ziying saw that he had finally opened the page just now, and couldn't help but be wary of paying attention to herself, and also advised herself not to easily dabble in areas that she was not good at.

"What am I doing out of here?" She asked rhetorically.

"You can't do anything!" Mu Lige's tone was resolute.

After Yu Ziying took a deep breath, he said in a very slow and sarcastic voice: "Why is it not allowed, what does the imperial brother think I will do out of the palace?" I can even give up the men in the palace who have been with me for several years, is this determination not big enough? Or if the imperial brother thinks that after I lost my mother and lost my father's palace again, I can live a happy and happy life without anyone accompanying me, so good, you can't tell, then I won't go out. ”

Yu Ziying smiled miserably, because the smile was cold and the muscles were stiff, but he unexpectedly performed a kind of reluctance that seemed to pretend to be indifferent.

"......" Mu Lige's expression froze.

He looked at "Mu Xiaofeng" with a kind of guilt and apology.

During this time, he was busy with the enthronement ceremony and defending against foreign invasions, and he could spend very little time on this sister who lost his father and emperor with him, and he forgot how to recover the grief of losing her who loved her father the most overnight......

Sometimes not crying, not not being sad, sometimes not screaming, not not in pain...... He knew this kind of thing better than anyone else, but she ignored it because she wore the mask of arrogance and domineering on weekdays, and she actually needed the comfort and warmth of others......

And Liu Wenzhi and Hua Jiazi saw that the quarrel between the two brothers and sisters had finally come to an end, and then they looked at Mu Lige's expression at the moment, and they knew that His Majesty had lost.

It's just that they are very strange, when did this Mu Xiaofeng become so smart, with their understanding of His Majesty, her affairs are obviously a matter that is absolutely impossible to turn around, but they still let her find flaws in it, and in the blink of an eye, they caught the weakness of His Majesty, so that he complied......

No - looking at her "stupid" face, they thought that maybe they were thinking too much, how could she possibly have such an IQ......

"That's it, if you want to go, go ahead, but remember to bring more guards, if you cause trouble again this time, even if you move out of your father next time, you will still have to be grounded!" Even though he knew that this might be a clumsy excuse for her, Mu Lige still had to worry, so he threw her a token to leave the palace and waved his hand to drive people away.

"Xie Lu, Brother Xie Huang." Yu Ziying's voice grunted out as if it was in her mouth, she knew that at this time, if Mu Xiaofeng had succeeded in her plan, she would have smiled sly and brightly, but unfortunately she lacked this kind of bright attribute that illuminated everything, so she could only bow her head and pretend to be "moved" to avoid her expression.

However, the more low-key and simple she behaved, the better this Mu Lige became, which showed that Mu Xiaofeng sincerely wanted to change, not flattering and treacherous, and she was not deceiving him this time.

And Liu Wenzhi and Hua Jiazi looked at each other secretly, revealing a teasing expression, they really didn't guess wrong, where would this Mu Xiaofeng use any scheming, she knows the most powerful scheming, that is, she only knows how to bully others, this time it is just a coincidence.

Feeling that the time limit for "moving" was enough, she raised her head and said sincerely to Mu Lige: "...... So in return, my sister also told my brother something, the head just now...... In fact, he has been dead for more than three months. ”

After she said this, the three of them, including Mu Lige, were stunned, and the room was suddenly silent.

"Huh? What did you say?! Liu Wenzi, whose mouth always turns faster than his brain, was the first to react, and he looked at Yu Ziying's expression with a funny expression.

Mu Lige looked at Yu Ziying, pursed his lips forbearingly, and his eyes seemed to say-good, what should you do, please don't make trouble!

Only Hua Jiazi chose to stand still and observe quietly.

"You can take a closer look." Yu Ziying knew that it was difficult for them to win the trust of "Mu Xiaofeng", but she was not in a hurry, moved to the bookcase, and reopened the wooden box without waiting for Mu Lige to stop, and motioned for them to look.

"The surface of this skull is very clean, there is not a single blood stain, I think even if I cut off a head carefully, it is impossible to completely avoid blood stains, but it is really nothing, this one means that this head has been carefully scrubbed, but why should they wipe it clean?"

As she explained, sure enough, all three of them focused their eyes on the unusual skull, and didn't question her words anymore.

This time, Hua Jiazi, who is known for his wisdom, pondered for a moment and guessed: "Is it because there is water?" With that, his gaze naturally shifted to the damp area beneath the wooden box.

Yu Ziying gently rubbed the water vapor on the wooden box with her fingers, and said: "That's right, it is precisely because of the water that this head is purple and gray, but there are no corpse spots, most people must think that it has just died not long ago, but in fact, it is because it has been frozen and hidden, the longer the frozen trace, the longer the thawing time, and even it is still seeping water, presumably it has been dead for at least three months." ”

Her reasoning undoubtedly set off a huge wave in the hearts of the three of them, if she said so, it was obvious that someone had set them up, if this spy had died a long time ago, then who was the person who had been giving back the news of the foreign land to them some time ago?!

"Where do you see it's three months, not less or more?" This matter is very important, and Mu Lige has to carefully know the reason for the Dao.

"Nature depends on the weather." Some things are almost the same, she still needs the shield of the Ying Imperial Kingdom to be safe for the time being, so naturally she can't let it be calculated, so she took the risk to point out this matter, but it would be too much to say in detail, so she clapped her hands, tilted her head, squeezed out a smile and said: "Okay, Brother Huang, the next thing will be that the Imperial Sister will not bother you." ”

Seeing that she was leaving, Liu Wenzhi stopped her urgently: "Wait, how do you know this?" ”

This is actually the question that the other two want to ask.

"Don't you know that the main palace likes to see miscellaneous anecdotes?" Yu Ziying slapped a book on his chest from his sleeve, with a proud and disdainful expression: "Hey, this, don't always think that this palace is stupid, this palace is wise and stupid, stupid!" ”

After speaking, he walked away with a high posture.

Liu Wenzhi was stunned for a long time, and then the corners of his mouth twitched: "You are actually a big fool." ”
