Yue Linfeng and Mu Qinglang were stunned at the same time, they all knew that Lin Yuxiao was injured, but no one had asked in such detail as Li Mu. → eight → eight → read → books, .↓.o≥

"What? But the situation is not good? Li Mu's tone was eager, but his eyes were calm.

The courtiers always have to bow their heads, so Yue Linfeng and Mu Qinglang couldn't see Li Mu's expressions clearly, they could only look at each other, and when they found that the other party was as careless as themselves, they hung their heads in embarrassment.

Li Mu's expression even cooled down this time, he looked coldly at the two young men in front of him who grew up with him and called him a brother in private, one was deep and introverted, and the other was heroic......

"Linfeng, didn't you handle the case with Yu Xiao? You should know the most about him. The two of them pretended to be deaf and dumb, and Li Mu named them.

"The minister is guilty! This case has not been done from beginning to end, it is all Yu Xiao who is busy working, please ask the emperor to deal with it! Yue Linfeng didn't say anything, and knelt down and admitted it at the moment.

This is almost the same, it is the Yue Linfeng he originally knew, Li Mu's face softened a little: "Then I don't understand, it's not the first time that the two of you have gone out to handle the case together, it has always been Yuxiao who planned for you to come forward, why are you not dedicated to the case?" You don't even know who Yuxiao is doing? Did you think this case was extremely easy, so you let your guard down? ”

Li Mu said that Yue Linfeng was even more ashamed: "It was the minister's dereliction of duty, and the minister let Yuxiao be in danger alone because of his private abolition, please ask the emperor to surrender!" ”

"Abolish public ...... for private purposes Because of the first beauty in Dream City? Li Mu didn't bother to pretend that he didn't know anymore, "You forgot your business and your brother for the sake of a woman, should I think that this woman is a disaster......

"Your Majesty!" Yue Linfeng interrupted Li Mu's words, his tone was impatient and his face was not good-looking, "This matter has nothing to do with Miss Liu at all, it is all Yue Linfeng's fault, the emperor wants to punish me alone!" ”

"Linfeng!" Mu Qinglang, who was kneeling next to him, also changed his face, and subconsciously became vigilant, Yue Linfeng actually showed a murderous aura. Just because the emperor was not satisfied with that Liu Yiyi, he ......

At the same time, Li Mu's left hand also hung down, and his sleeve covered the things he was holding in his hand. There was a smile on his face, and his tone was relaxed: "What? In a hurry? I'm just joking with you, brother who grew up together, what you like, will I hurt you? ”

saw Li Mu's smiling face as usual. Yue Linfeng hesitated and slowly relaxed.

"You've also worked hard, Miss Liu is now in the courtyard, I don't think you will be relieved if you can't see her, you go and see her." Li Mu continued to say softly.

"Your Majesty." Yue Linfeng kowtowed again to show his submission, Li Mu said that he really didn't worry about Liu Yiyi, she was not smart, she came to the capital alone, and then lived with a group of strangers, would Mama Chen always have a straight face to scare her?

Yue Linfeng was no longer in the palace when he saw that his mind was gone, and Li Mu simply asked Mu Qinglang to leave: "You all have family matters to worry about, and I am not busy here." It will be the same if I hear you later. ”

Mu Qinglang is also worried about his family, Mu Qingyin goes home alone, will he be angry with his elderly grandmother without saying a word, will he cut his hair short again and really become a monk...... So when he heard that Li Mu also asked him to go back, he was sincerely thanking Lord Longen.

Both of them went out, and Li Mu's face sank completely, one by one, which one is a loyal minister!? They are all villains who only care about themselves! How can my country rely on them! It's a pity that I am only stable in the court, and there are not many people who can use it, otherwise......

Eased up for a while. Li Mu got up and walked to the mirror, and saw that the person in the mirror was already looking as usual, so he called the waiter outside the door: "Set up Renshou Palace." ”

The atmosphere in Renshou Palace is very good, and the Empress Dowager Lin, who is in her forties, is well-maintained because of her natural beauty. It looks like he's in his early thirties.

When the Empress Dowager Lin entered the palace, she said that it was seventeen, but in fact it was sixteen, and the little girl was pushed into the fire pit by her mother, thinking that she would never see the light of day, but she actually met a good husband, and her brother and nephew did their best to protect each other. Let her not completely despair about the future and family affection.

, Now the Empress Dowager Lin, who has both children and respected status, will never forget that if it weren't for her brother and nephew, she might not be able to save a pair of children and her own lives, so she should be good to Lin Yuxiao.

Lin Yuxiao was more intimate and casual in the face of Empress Dowager Lin than in Li Mu, and after asking An to get up, he looked at a few plates of dim sum on the coffee table: "The imperial dining room in the palace has made new dim sum?" ”

"yes, I'll wait for you to come back and try it." Empress Dowager Lin smiled and watched Lin Yuxiao sit down to eat, and then asked Dong Huanhuan, "Qingyin, where is the girl?" Why don't you come back with you, I haven't seen her for a long time. ”

Dong Huanhuan showed a trace of embarrassment on her face, and hurriedly knelt down and replied: "The old slave told Second Young Master Mu that the Queen Mother was concerned about Miss Mu, but Second Young Master Mu said that Miss Mu was unwell and it was inconvenient to enter the palace......"

"Yes, Sister Mu doesn't care about anything now, she doesn't even want to see her old lady, I don't think it's suitable for her to enter the palace like this, so I make the decision to let Dong Huan not see her and pick her up." Lin Yuxiao was trustworthy in his words, and he didn't forget to help Dong Huanhuan speak while eating snacks.

Why Mu Qingyin is like this, and how her life has been in the past two years, Empress Dowager Lin is clear, and even knows how Mu Qingyin forced Lin Yuxiao to swear on her neck and not tell the name and origin of the negative person.

Empress Dowager Lin is the most dissatisfied with her niece, because she has felt that Mu Qingyin is dignified and demure since she was a child, she is more like a princess than her daughter, but this girl is not only stupid enough to be a man, but also hurts her relatives in order to defend the enemy, the Lin family and the Mu family have never heard of this kind of person, who is this girl like!?

"It's still the best little snack like this." After a while, the four plates on the coffee table were all empty, and only a piece of dim sum was held by the chopsticks in Lin Yuxiao's hand.

Empress Dowager Lin was not surprised by how much this nephew could eat, and explained to him: "This is called snow dumplings, which is the seasonal snack that the imperial dining room pondered according to the dumplings during the Chinese New Year." ”

"The imperial dining room is good at making dim sum, and the name is not bad." Lin Yuxiao looked at the snow dumplings on the chopsticks, this appearance is the same as the dumplings, except that the skin is fried, the filling is mixed with flour, powdered sugar and rose crumbs, and after frying, the outermost layer is also wrapped in a layer of white sugar, which is like snow particles, and the name of the snow dumpling comes from this.

"No matter how good the cooking skills of the imperial dining room are, it is not as good as Xiao Tang, the jade lotus cake and poria cake he made, the prince still shouted to eat it during the New Year, and the imperial dining room learned to do it, who knew that the prince tasted it and said that it was not that taste, and then the queen asked people to go out of the palace to Tang Zhitang to buy it, so she barely coaxed the prince." Empress Dowager Lin talked about her grandson's face full of love.

What Tang Zhitang bought was not made by Xiao Tang himself. It's nothing more than the mold and recipe provided by Xiao Tang, so it can coax the young prince.

Lin Yuxiao knew that he had no intention of being more serious, but said: "Miss Liu's cooking skills in Mengzhou City are not bad, and they are praised by Xiao Tang." Another day, she can enter the palace, let her make it for the Queen Mother to taste. ”

This is Lin Yuxiao taking the initiative to mention Liu Yiyi, and the Empress Dowager Lin just followed the topic and asked: "Before, you said that Linfeng took a fancy to a girl, but that girl was targeted by the original culprit of the Mengzhou strange case, and took the opportunity to ruin her reputation." also wanted to drag Qincha into the water, so you asked the mourning family to correct her name, but then how did the mourning family hear that the woman surnamed Liu had a lot of things? ”

Lin Yuxiao's biography at that time only wrote that he hoped that Empress Dowager Lin would help, and did not say how noble Liu Yiyi's character was-he would not be stupid enough to vouch for mankind, and he even hinted in the letter that this was just an expedient measure, if Liu Yiyi's character was not up to par in the future...... It's not easy to disappear a female official in the palace?

Because of this, Empress Dowager Lin made an edict without investigating Liu Yiyi's matter, because she helped Lin Yuxiao and Yue Linfeng, but after that, for the women who wanted to enter the palace, even if it was a routine matter, they had to check it. This investigation made Empress Dowager Lin unhappy.

"The Liu family is a well-known wealthy businessman in Mengzhou City, Miss Liu never has to worry about her livelihood, her biological mother and father are childhood sweethearts, Master Liu did not plan to marry again after losing his wife, so he raised his daughter as a son, but in the end it was not a boy, she did not force her to learn a skill, she could not study and follow the water moon master of Lingzhuan to learn martial arts, and she only learned to embroider legs."

In fact, the real Liu Yiyi's martial arts are still good, but it's a pity that the one that came through didn't inherit it at all. Afraid of revealing his original form, Lin Yuxiao could only depreciate the original one.

The dedicated father and the master of the outsider can indeed add points to Liu Yiyi, but it is a pity that neither the original heroine nor the current heroine have lived in obscurity, and the Empress Dowager Lin did not inquire about why the hostess of the Lin family did not. But the words and deeds of the original heroine subtracted points for herself.

"The mourning family heard that this young lady of the Liu family likes to fight with people in public, and she hurts people when she doesn't say a word, she is a famous female overlord in Mengzhou City?"

"It's not so strict, how can there be a female overlord, you have to have subordinates to be an overlord, right? All the children of Mengzhou City were beaten by her, and she offended all the sisters of these people with her. I don't even have a female companion. Lin Yuxiao smiled when he heard it.

Empress Dowager Lin frowned: "It sounds like a brainless person who is not good at socializing." "Such a woman is not suitable for Yue Linfeng, who will be an official in the future.

"Linfeng likes this, lively, he doesn't like to socialize, if his wife has a poetry meeting with a group of noble ladies to visit the garden every day, he is not happy." Lin Yuxiao had already seen what kind of other half Yue Linfeng wanted.

"It's not a big deal if you don't like to socialize," Yue Linfeng was unwilling to rely on his wife to help him in his career, which was his own choice, which was also considered that he was too upright, and the Empress Dowager Lin would not force him, "It's just that this Liu family girl likes to fight on the street, and there are more dignitaries and nobles in the capital, she wants to see one and fight another, and Linfeng will clean it up?" ”

"No, everyone in Mengzhou City knows that she is Miss Liu's family, no one really does anything with her, who knows her in the capital, what I'm worried about is not that she fights, but that her brainlessness is seen and uses her to do something else, for example, in Mengzhou, she sent cold clothes to Linfeng, but that day Lu Tingqi happened to find a scapegoat to go to Liu's house, and it turned out to be a big trouble......"

Lin Yuxiao took the opportunity to talk about the cause and effect of the incident, and the first person to propose marriage to the Liu family after that was Du Shaonan.

These things are very long, and only then did he introduce who Lu Tingqi was, Li Mu came in, and when the emperor waved his hand and refused everyone's greetings, he sat down on a chair casually, and motioned Lin Yuxiao to continue.

Li Mu covered it up very well, Empress Dowager Lin didn't see that her son had an unpleasant relationship with the courtiers before he came, and even was in danger, but Lin Yuxiao sensed Li Mu's mood with his breath, so he simply said it in more detail, including the people rescued by Du Shaonan were intercepted by Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li didn't dare to provoke her grandson but talked nonsense about Fang Xiaozhu.

Empress Dowager Lin smiled when she heard it this time: "That's why that kid from Shaonan went to the Liu family to propose?" ”

"Shaonan once said that he wanted not to marry for life, and he didn't want his children to repeat his fate." The world says that parental love is the best gift for children, but what about parents who love so much that they ignore their children? Then don't give birth. What Lin Yuxiao doesn't understand is why humans reproduce.

Speaking of repeating the mistakes of the past, Empress Dowager Lin thought of the Lin family again, what was the eldest brother worried about not letting Yu Xiao recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors? Supposedly no one can hurt him now?

"Queen Mother, I want to talk to Yuxiao about some business." Seeing that the gossip was almost over, Li Mu spoke.

Empress Dowager Lin naturally won't stop her, she can be treated differently by the first emperor, and the current emperor is wholeheartedly filial, which is generally inseparable from her knowledge: "Do you have dinner in Renshou Palace?" If there is time to spare, let the mourning room prepare. ”

"Probably can......" Li Mu calculated the time, speaking of which, he hadn't had dinner with his mother for three days, and he really shouldn't have been.

Hearing her son's assurance, Empress Dowager Lin really happily summoned the chef to come over to study tonight's menu.

Li Mu smiled knowingly, and then didn't let the chamberlain follow, he and Lin Yuxiao walked out of Renshou Palace, and then the two of them were rarely silent, until half a pillar of incense entered the pavilion of the water pavilion, Li Mu slapped the coffee table, and was violent: "Lin Yuxiao, don't you explain it to me?" ”

Lin Yuxiao sat down for a while, picked up a plate of snacks on the coffee table, and then asked unhurriedly: "What does the emperor want to hear, official or private?" ”

“…… Official business. "Li Mu is the emperor, and he remembers to be public before private when he is angry.

"Let's talk about business first." Lin Yuxiao took out a small bag from his sleeve and put it on the coffee table, "I brought you back the jade unicorn, the unicorn is a benevolent beast that only serves the king, and it really shouldn't have been placed in the merchant at the beginning!" What merchant can afford it? ”

A hundred years ago, if you want to find the culprit of the construction of a merchant to worship the jade unicorn, Qin Tianjian has to dig a grave? Li Muke was determined to be a benevolent monarch, so he just smiled and opened the bag to admire the pair of jade unicorns, which were indeed the same as recorded, two inches high, white and flawless, and lifelike, carved from two identical whole jades.

"The jade unicorn is the treasure of Jiangnan Zhenjiang, where can I put it if I don't put it in Jiangnan?" To be honest, listening to Lin Yuxiao say that "the unicorn is a benevolent beast that only serves the king", Li Mu didn't want to return it to Jiangnan, especially those merchants, who didn't pay attention to this treasure at all!

"Put it in the palace. The king is stable when the world is stable, I don't believe that if the king has something to do and this jade unicorn is there, Jiangnan will be fine. Lin Yuxiao had already finished eating a plate of dim sum while speaking, and picked up another plate. (To be continued.) )
