After King Rui left the Qinzheng Palace, Emperor Liang Yinhao immediately issued an edict saying that King Rui was unwell and needed to stay in Beijing to recuperate, so the original date of leaving Beijing was also postponed indefinitely. The courtiers who didn't know the inside story felt that this thing was strange, and they had seen the spirit of Rui Wang Ryoma two days ago, why did they suddenly fall ill. The ministers began to speculate privately, some said that King Rui was seriously ill and bedridden, some said that King Rui secretly escaped from the palace because he didn't want to return to the fiefdom, and some actually said that King Rui was infected by the Queen Mother's illness and became crazy.

It rained heavily for several days, and Mu Qing saw that the weather was finally clear today, so he asked Zhu Yu to take her around, although the air was still a little humid, but the early autumn breeze was exceptionally refreshing.

Since the ground in the imperial garden was still a little slippery, Zhu Yu carefully supported Mu Qing and whispered, "Niangniang, King Rui has been placed under house arrest. The emperor did not disclose the secret possession of the blade, and the ministers privately guessed all kinds of versions. ”

"Hmm." Mu Qing snorted in response, his bright eyes still staring at the colorful scenery in the distance.

Seeing her indifferent look, Zhu Yu asked in confusion, "Isn't Niangniang worried at all?" After all, it is a big crime to steal weapons all over the house, and we gambled a lot this time! ”

"Worried? What to worry about? If the king of Herui can't even withstand this idea, we don't have to go the way forward. Mu Qing said unhurriedly, looking at the flowers with cold eyes, as if he wanted to see through the dark tide surging under this complicated world.

The two walked to the pavilion in the garden, Mu Qing sat on the railing, and gently tapped his legs and feet, which were a little numb. "Don't worry, King Rui is also a prince no matter what he says, even if he is accused of rebellion, he doesn't mean that he will be killed. If you hastily kill a prince just by relying on the words of a bandit, I am afraid that it will provoke the criticism of the ministers of the court, and Liang Yinhao is not so stupid. You see, after coming out of the Qinzheng Palace, didn't the emperor just put King Rui under house arrest and didn't move him immediately? Don't worry, we still have a few days! ”

Zhu Yu wiped the sweat on Mu Qing's forehead while worrying: "But that Huo Pei'an is treacherous and vicious, and the slave is afraid that he and the criminal department will do something in secret." ”

Mu Qing fiddled with the hem of his skirt for a long time, and the curvature of the mockery at the corners of his mouth was even worse. "I'm just afraid that he won't do anything!"

After that, Mu Qing met the concubine who came to enjoy the flowers in the garden, and the two chatted a few words. From beginning to end, Concubine De just chatted with Mu Qing about some innocuous topics, this dress for a while, the hairpin for a while, and half a point for mentioning the rumors and rumors outside. But also, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, no matter how chaotic the previous dynasty is, the harem is still a quiet and peaceful scene, everyone lives their own small life in peace and stability, calculating the position, calculating the emperor's favor, and what does the dispute in the previous dynasty have to do with these women.

After talking for a long time, Mu Qing also felt a little tired, so he found an excuse to leave first. Walking near Chenzhi Palace, I saw several guards in armor walking in the distance, among which the leader was Yin Zheng, the commander of the forbidden army, who was also Mu Qing's father.

Yin Zheng walked up to the two of them, bowed and saluted: "Weichen see Concubine Chen." ”

Mu Qing hurriedly stepped forward to help Yin Zheng up. "Father, hurry up, the daughter can't stand such a big gift from her father."

"Niangniang is now a concubine and a master, and the rules that should be followed must be followed, and the etiquette that should be done cannot be sloppy." Yin Zheng is really as good as his name and is upright.

"Father is still so stubborn." Mu Qing shook his head with a smile, and asked again, "By the way, my daughter hasn't seen her father for a few days, and her father is still tough recently?" ”

Yin Zheng smiled heartily, patted his chest, and said, "Don't worry, it's okay!" Your father and I are a soldier, why do you pay so much attention to it?"

"Although my father was born in the military, it was hard to guard the imperial city after all, and he was exposed to the wind and rain every day. My father is not young, so I should take more care and precautions. ”

Yin Zheng waved his hand and said helplessly: "I know, I know, if you start talking, it won't be over, and no one can resist you." ”

"By the way, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent some good ginseng a few days ago, so my father can bring some back so that I can use it to replenish my body." Mu Qing said with concern, and turned his head to look at the maid beside him, "Zhu Yu, go back to Chenzhi Palace and bring the ginseng sent by the Internal Affairs Office last time." ”

"Slave and maid, go get it."

"Hey, don't bother." Yin Zheng was busy refusing, but he saw that the little palace maid was very fast, and in a blink of an eye, she had already walked far away.

Mu Qing insisted: "Yes, Chenzhi Palace is not far from here, you just wait." Besides, it's rare for my daughter to see you, so I might as well take this opportunity to talk to you for a while, right? ”

Yin Zheng looked at his daughter's persistent upper body, and he no longer shirked. "Okay, good, Qing'er is what she says. I don't know if the emperor can stand you being so verbose? ”

Mu Qing faked his anger and said: "The father will make fun of his daughter!" ”

Seeing that the father and daughter still had a lot to talk about, the soldiers beside Yin Zheng glanced at each other, and then retreated one after another.

In the empty palace alley, only Mu Qing and Yin Zheng remained, and their laughing words suddenly stopped. The look of joy between Yin Zheng's eyebrows and eyes slowly faded, and he said in a deep voice: "Yunyan, have you been smooth these days when you entered the palace?"

Mu Qing also put away the smile on his face and condensed into a little cold. "Uncle Yin, don't worry, Yunyan is fine, no one is suspicious of me."

"After all, this place is dangerous, I still don't feel at ease!" Yin Zheng frowned.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get a tiger?" Mu Qing said lightly, the color in his eyes was shocking, "It's just that Uncle Yin is affected." ”

When Changyan was 'reborn after death' and returned to the capital, if it weren't for Yin Zheng's help, he arranged for her to become his daughter and become a concubine as Yin Muqing, the daughter of the commander of the forbidden army, otherwise she would not have entered the palace so easily.

Yin Zheng frowned and said, "What are you talking about?" I have not repaid your father's kindness to me back then, how can I watch your whole clan be wronged and humiliated and ignore it? It's only my humble rank and inflexible brain that I can't avenge you. I feel better to be able to do this for you now. ”

When the two of them talked about the past, the air around them seemed to condense, and only the faint sound of the wind gently passed through their ears, blowing green silk like ink, blowing away the quiet mood.

"Father helped you out of his heart back then, and he never thought of asking you to repay him anything." Mu Qing only felt that his throat suddenly tightened, and his heartbeat seemed to pause, and a thousand thoughts poured into his heart. After a while, he restrained his mind and recovered his usual waves. "Well, now is not the time to catch up."

Mu Qing looked around vigilantly, and only after making sure that there was no one around, did he pull out a yellowed piece of paper from his cuff. The paper is neatly folded into a small square, and the faint mottled marks on the edges reveal a long-term atmosphere. "You take this, it depends on whether it can succeed this time."

Yin Zheng carefully took the paper, stuffed it into his arms, and said, "Well, I know how to do it!" ”
