In the courtyard outside the imperial study, Mu Lanxi paced left and right, never able to take a step forward.

is only one step away, as long as she takes one step further and enters the door to tell the emperor, her long-standing henchmen will be eradicated. She even rehearsed countless times to make her expression more innocent and more righteous and awe-inspiring, showing her noble quality of being forced to be helpless and killing her relatives with righteousness.

However, with this kick at the door, why can't she take a step?

Mulan Creek stomped his feet, this damn conscience!

She had been haunting the scene from five years ago. When she knelt infinitely aggrieved in front of Mu Yige's mother's grave and kowtowed to apologize, Mu Yige helped her up with her own hands, and the handsome face that she never disdained to look at closely flashed with such a simple and kind smile.

Although she was deeply favored by her mother and eldest brother, these two were always too calculating, and it was the first time in her life that she had seen someone smile so purely at her, either afraid of her or flattering her. Since then, she has accepted this second brother in her heart.

If she takes this step, her relationship with her second brother will be over, right?

There seemed to be a voice in her heart persuading herself, and she was not born to the same mother. The eldest brother and mother have carefully arranged for you, why are you so timid for an outsider? Do you care if he will be dragged down? What do you have to do with him being sad about this? Does it matter if he is disappointed in you?

Thinking of this, she lifted her feet vigorously, but her feet seemed to be filled with mud, and she could not pull them out in the slightest.

Mu Lanxi worked hard and hard, and finally had to scratch his hair irritably.

That's it, that's it, she has always been willful, so let's live up to my eldest brother and mother again.

She let out a long sigh of relief and turned to leave.

However, the changes in the world world can never be understood by her simple head.

After she turned around, she saw Kong Guiren who came in a hurry.

This noble man Kong is Jian Yaochi's minion, and he sneered in front of her some time ago. When she saw her, she immediately put on a straight face: "What are you doing here?" She glanced at the door of the imperial study and said contemptuously: "Don't you want to come here to attract the emperor's attention?" This palace advises you not to be delusional. With your appearance, if it weren't for the father of a second-class official, where would it be your turn to be a nobleman. ”

The appearance of this noble man is indeed mediocre, but it is not delicate. It's a pity that when you compare it in this beautiful palace, you will be reduced to the last stream. She hates others the most about her appearance, but Mu Lanxi is the best at picking the most painful places and poking people's backbones, how can she not hate.

However, she endured it at the moment, and walked forward with a cold snort.

Mu Lanxi didn't leave, he just wanted to follow her to see what the hell she was doing.

Kong Guiren walked to the door of the imperial study, only to see that the door was closed. She bowed to Liu's father-in-law Yingying, who was guarding the door: "Please report to your father-in-law, the concubine must meet the emperor immediately if she has something important." ”

Gonggong Liu said in a businesslike tone, and refused: "The noble man commanded, how dare the villain not do it." It's just ......" he frowned in embarrassment: "The emperor is discussing important matters with Huo Shu's envoy and Commander Di inside, and he ordered that no matter who comes, don't disturb." ”

I thought that it would be nine out of ten, but I didn't expect this change, and an anxious look appeared on Kong Guiren's face: "But this matter is very important, please report it to my father-in-law!" As she spoke, she took out an ingot of gold from her cuff and prepared to send it to Gonggong Liu.

Gonggong Liu turned sideways and bowed respectfully: "Please don't embarrass the villain." ”

Seeing that Gonggong Liu didn't buy it, Kong Guiren sweated in a hurry. Thinking about Jian Yaochi's methods of dealing with people, if she didn't handle this matter well, it would be really dark in the palace in the future. She had no choice but to bite her silver teeth and shouted loudly into the imperial study: "Your Majesty, the concubine has something important to see!" ”

She shouted, but there was no movement in the door. Gonggong Liu had already instructed a few guards to come up and drag her.

In a hurry, she had no scruples, so she shouted at the highest volume: "Your Majesty, Concubine An Shu is having a private meeting with a man in the harem at this time, and the concubine is risking death to advise you!" ”

Mu Lanxi heard her roar from a distance, and was so shocked that almost half of his soul fell. How did Kong Guiren know about this?

In front of the Imperial Study, after a short and eerie silence of five seconds, the door of the Imperial Study suddenly opened from the inside, and Baili Renault's face appeared inside the door with a face that was so angry that he could destroy everything.

……

In a corner of the palace, the sad conversation continues.

Mu Yige's face turned pale and muttered, "Providence? ”

An Xiaoxiao was very unbearable, and almost wanted to blurt out about the "March Appointment". Eventually, however, she swallowed the words back down her throat. How was she going to tell him that her plan had calculated his most respected father? And even if she can leave the palace, she must be burdened with the reputation of "the emperor's abandoned concubine", how can she let herself drag him down?

She had always been abandoned in her previous life, and it felt like she really didn't want to go through it again. So, just stop here, at least for this moment, he didn't give up on her, they were just fooled by fate.

"Yige, go back! Since the Marquis of Jincheng is for you, I am afraid that his hard work will be in vain if I stay any longer. ”

The place where they stood was a rare and populated part of the palace, and the Janissaries patrolled less frequently, but the time was almost up. What's more, An Xiaoxiao knew that there were a bunch of secret agents around him staring, even if Mu Lanxi didn't tell the secret, the emperor would definitely already know.

Mu Yige nodded, but his feet refused to move half a minute, just looked deeply, deeply at the palace girl in front of him.

It's not that he doesn't understand how much risk this meeting will bring to the two of them, and he also knows that An Xiaoxiao can't go with him. His trip to the palace seemed pointless.

He knows the way, but he can't do it.

Seeing this side makes him how he can be willing.

An Xiaoxiao's heart swelled with monstrous bitterness, so bitter that she almost cried.

He never lacked tacit understanding with her, just like she didn't ask Mu Chengxiu why she did things, and he didn't have to ask her why she didn't want to leave with him. In a word, with a look, they can understand each other.

Therefore, at this time, she can clearly understand how much affection and reluctance Mu Yige contained in the last glance.

She bowed her head in shame, her affection for him was far less than that of him.

……

"Second brother, An Xiaoxiao—" A shout that was extremely inconsistent with the quiet night came.

Mu Lanxi snorted and panted, running from a distance, shouting as he ran: "Emperor—Emperor—"

Running closer, she couldn't help but be stunned: "Why are you the only one?" ”

An Xiaoxiao leaned on the big tree leisurely and teased: "It's not me, who else can there be?" ”

Mu Lanxi's beautiful eyes showed a blank look. An Xiaoxiao was a little relieved that Mu Lanxi could come to inform them, proving that she had a good conscience after all.

Before Mu Lanxi came back to her senses, there was already a noisy footstep behind her, and in the blink of an eye, a team of Praetorian Guards appeared out of nowhere to surround her and An Xiaoxiao.

Not far away, a bright yellow figure strode forward.

Baili Renaud stood still, and he was also a little puzzled by the scene where there were only An Xiaoxiao and Mu Lanxi, but there was anger on his face, and he asked sharply at Kong Guiren behind him: "Didn't you say that Concubine An Shufei is having a private meeting with a man?" Could it be that Concubine Mu is the man you are talking about? ”

Kong Guiren's eyes widened in disbelief, and he pointed at An Xiaoxiao and said in a trembling voice: "This is impossible, I obviously saw it, she and a man in white are ...... here"

An Xiaoxiao stood up straight and looked at her with a smile: "What man in white?" Isn't this sister hell? Otherwise, you can tell me carefully, how old is that man and what kind of person he looks like? ”

Kong Guiren was dumbfounded, and said hesitantly: "This...... This ......"

Mu Lanxi came back to his soul at this time, saluted Baili Renault, and said: "Emperor Mingjian, there are only concubines and concubines here, and no one else!" ”

After she finished speaking, she glared at An Xiaoxiao as if she was unwilling, thinking that she was really a loss, not only could she not hurt her, but she also had to help her perjury.

Baili Renault's gaze swept towards Kong Guiren like a torch, and immediately frightened her to her knees. She is really dumb and eats coptis, and she can't tell if she suffers. She really didn't see An Xiaoxiao and the man in white together, these words were taught to her by Jian Yaochi. Jian Yaochi was very sure that An Xiaoxiao was having a private meeting with the man, so she pretended to say that she would give her the opportunity to make meritorious service and let her go to the emperor to report it.

It's good that I didn't sue others and trapped myself. She was unwilling to make the last struggle, and asked Mu Lanxi: "At this moment, in the middle of the night, why did Concubine Mu and Concubine An meet in such a remote corner?" She turned to Baili Renault and said, "Your Majesty, the two of them are secretive, shouldn't they ask clearly?" ”

Mu Lanxi was also a person who couldn't tell lies, and his eyes began to flicker. An Xiaoxiao took the question unhurriedly: "Isn't it okay to chat and enjoy the moon?" ”

"Chat and catch up on the old days and admire the moon......?" Kong Guiren snorted coldly, feeling that he had found a breakthrough: "Everyone in the palace knows that you and Concubine Mu are not compatible, where is the old relationship to be recounted?" ”

An Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes, walked to Mu Lanxi's side, and stood on tiptoe and hugged her shoulder. Mu Lanxi was so frightened by her intimate behavior that her body stiffened, but she heard An Xiaoxiao say something that made her almost lose her breath.

"Sister Mu asked me to deal with it, in fact, she just wanted to apologize to me, but she was thin-skinned and embarrassed to speak in a crowded place, so we chose to talk in a remote corner. Now you understand? ”

Kong Guiren couldn't help but want to roll his eyes, Mu Lanxi would apologize, and the sows could go up the tree. But this kind of blatant lie, she can't debunk it. She greeted Jian Yaochi dozens of times in her heart, if it weren't for her intelligence mistake, how could she make such a big oolong?

After this incident, she immediately cut off contact with Jian Yaochi. Of course, that's another story.

Let's say that here and now, Kong Guiren finally bowed his head, and he couldn't say any more. An Xiaoxiao smiled and continued to hug Mu Lanxi and disgusted her.

Baili Renault's eyes glanced at An Xiaoxiao, and when he saw that she was smiling like a flower, she no longer had the cold or angry appearance she had a few days ago, and she couldn't help but feel a wave of anger from the bottom of her heart. Sure enough, after she met that man, she was in a much better mood! And from just now to now, she didn't even give him a straight look, let alone say hello or anything, she just treated him like nothing.

Could it be that she really didn't know what to do, if he hadn't been willing to let it go, her little trick wouldn't have fooled anyone at all.

He walked slowly to the big tree that An Xiaoxiao was leaning on just now, as if inadvertently breaking off a thin branch, and pointed to a corner of the palace not far away.

"Why didn't I find out before, this is indeed a good place to enjoy the moon, today the moon is sparse, tomorrow it must be a good weather!"

When An Xiaoxiao saw the direction he was pointing, her heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat, and her palms were sweaty with nervousness. There is exactly where Mu Yige is hiding. When Mu Lanxi ran over in a hurry, Mu Yige happened to jump up and hide in the sharp corner of the palace roof.

She stared at Baili Renault without blinking, trying to see through whether he meant it or not. Baili Renault also looked deeply, and the threat in his eyes made An Xiaoxiao completely understand that this guy had really found out.

Not to be outdone, she reciprocated him with the same threatening look, telling him that if you have the ability, you will arrest someone, and it will be a big deal that this girl will be imprisoned together. Then we will see who will help you contain the Jian Mu family, and who will provide you with clues to the spies.

The two stared at each other, so staring at each other that everyone realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Baili Renault suddenly smiled, he was already born with a peerless elegance, and under this smile, it seemed that even the moonlight was covered. He stepped forward with a charming smile, took An Xiaoxiao's hand, and said, "I frightened Concubine Ai, I will definitely compensate you tonight." ”

He dragged the stiff An Xiaoxiao back into his arms from Mu Lanxi. While the beauty was hugging, he instructed everyone: "This matter is over, if I hear any rumors about Concubine An tomorrow, I will kill the heads of everyone present." He paused, then turned to Kong Guiren, who was kneeling on the ground, and said: "Kong Guiren framed Concubine Shu for no reason, and his heart is vicious, so he ordered to think about it behind closed doors for three months from now on, and demote it to one grade." ”

After he finished speaking, he strode out with An Xiaoxiao in his arms.

Kong Guiren was punished so heavily that he couldn't help but sob. Mu Lanxi watched the two figures disappear, and he was also stunned in his heart.

No one noticed that behind the huge dragon-kissed statue on the roof of the palace that the emperor had just pointed to, there was a white figure, and at this time, it was not annihilated in the hazy moonlight.
