After spending the night in the boat on the Chu River, the belly of the fish in the east turned white, and they returned to the palace.

Cao Qi was wandering at the gate of the palace, and when he saw the carriage of the palace, he immediately greeted him and arched his hand: "Lord Wang." ”

The head poked out of it was Mu An, she and Cao Qi only had a relationship with Mu Fu, nodded slightly, and Cao Qi called again: "Princess." ”

Xiao Ci came down from behind and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?" ”

"The prince instructed Weichen to investigate the matter of Phoenix Mountain, and the minister came today."

In the hall of Jiufangju, Cao Qi's expression was cautious: "Lord Wang, the minister suspects that the person who escaped is a person from Da Liang." ”

Xiao Ci frowned.

Mu An thought for a while and asked, "Where is Da Liang from?" ”

"It's not the princess", Cao Qi shook his head and explained: "It's the enemy country Da Liang." ”

It is impossible for the Da Liang people to sneak into Phoenix Mountain, that is, they were ambushed a long time ago, how long have they been here, why did they suddenly launch after many years of recuperation, they have weapons in their hands, how many people are there......

Cao Qi didn't dare to delay at all, and Yu Xiao Ci: "Lord Wang, the minister blocked Phoenix Mountain and the Bathing Buddha Temple, and found different letters and exchanges in the village blown up by Phoenix Mountain, all of which were written in Da Liang, and besides, listening to the surviving mountain bandits in Phoenix Mountain, that person did not look like a person from the capital. ”

Xiao Ci said expressionlessly: "You can see that person's appearance clearly that day." ”

After a pause, Mu An realized that he was asking her, and recalled, she couldn't remember clearly when the rain was too heavy: "His eyes are quite sharp, the bridge of his nose is very high, and his eye sockets are slightly sunken, but I can't see any difference from the dress, and I can't hear the accent, so I didn't find out where he was from." ”

Her description of swallowing dates was useless, and Cao Qi condensed: "Lord Wang, what should I do next?" ”

If the other party is really a cool person, this case is not handled by a Kyoto yamen, Cao Qi vaguely reminded Xiao Ci that there is nothing he can do.

Xiao Ci just glanced at him lightly, and said coldly: "Block the news and secretly monitor Phoenix Mountain." ”

Now there is no evidence, and as soon as the news leaks out, the group of old ministers will start to fish in troubled waters again.

After Cao Qi left, Mu An said: "That person is from Chongtianshu, but Qing Jian said that Tianshu Pavilion does not have Tianshu, and he seems to know something about the battle of Anbian City." ”

"Don't worry, he can't run", Xiao Ci instantly changed his face and asked Mu An: "If you're tired, go in and sleep." ”

Yuzhen came in and saluted: "Lord, the concubine invites you to come over for breakfast." ”

It's really time to come, Mu An raised his eyebrows: "You go." ”

She went back to study the system, maybe she had to go to Tianji Pavilion again, and she didn't want to fight with Concubine Hui.

But Xiao Ci stopped Mu An for some reason today, and looked stunned: "Let's go together." ”

"Huh?" Mu An was slightly surprised, didn't she look forward to hiding as far away from Concubine Hui as she used to, but today she was in a hurry.

"Yuzhen invited you, not me."

didn't listen to her defense, Xiao Ci insisted on taking Mu An to Yonghe Palace, today's Yonghe Palace is slightly different from the past, everyone walks with their heads bowed, quietly.

Concubine Hui was standing alone at the dining table, looking sad, pinching a handkerchief to see if she was touching her eyelids, and when she saw Xiao Ci coming in, she sighed before saying, "Ci'er is here." ”

Muan was perfectly overlooked.

Xiao Ci answered and pulled Mu An to sit with him, and said softly: "The mother concubine doesn't need to prepare so much in the future." ”

"How's that going to work?" Concubine Hui's expression was lonely: "Today is the day you entered the palace of the concubine, and the concubine has always remembered that you didn't like to cry or make trouble at that time, and you were so old in a blink of an eye." ”

Mu An pondered beside him: It turns out that cold people have not cried since they were children.

During the meal, Concubine Hui kept talking about Xiao Ci's childhood, and the strong nurturing grace between the words seemed to be deliberate in his ears, Mu An secretly glanced at it with his spare eyes, and saw that the people around him were expressionless, but their brows were imperceptibly frowned, and it was obvious that he didn't like to listen.

Mu An didn't know how much water was mixed in this so-called "nurturing grace", but occasionally learned from Mingyue's mouth that Xiao Ci did not have a good life when he was a child, and later after gaining power with his own strength, Concubine Hui regretted it and insisted on taking out the identity of "mother" to press him, Xiao Ci left the palace in a rage, and has taken root in Dongping Lane since then.

Mu An suddenly felt a little sympathy for him, born in the emperor's family, father's love was a luxury, and the only remaining bit of mother's love he still felt, how could he not develop a withdrawn and cold temperament.

But he is such a cold person, and he speaks softly to himself, even if he is a stone, he should be warmed up.

"Ci'er, today is the day of your biological mother's concubine, but you must know that the daughter of a criminal minister is not allowed to worship, and now that you are prominent, you can't let people grab the handle and make the emperor feel that you are disloyal, so you should know that the mother's good intentions...", Concubine Hui was slightly uncomfortable and wiped her non-existent tears.

Holding the chopsticks for a moment, if Mu An heard correctly, Xiao Ci's biological mother is the daughter of a criminal minister?

Is it her day of sacrifice?

But today, Concubine Hui set up a table of dishes to talk to him about the relationship between mother and son?

What kind of unbelievable operation is this, isn't it poignant.

Seeing that Concubine Hui was about to speak again, Mu An suddenly coughed, raised his head and smiled at Xiao Ci: "I choked just now." ”

After speaking, she deliberately coughed a few times, Xiao Ci's tightly knit brows expanded, and she smoothed out: "Be careful." ”

"Oh", Mu An nodded obediently, ignoring the cloudy Concubine Hui, and only said to Xiao Ci: "You taste this fish, it's really delicious on the outside and tender on the inside." ”

The fish plate was a little far away from her, so Mu An stood up and prepared vegetables for him, put the plate in front of him, and said with a smile: "You taste it, be careful of thorns." ”

Xiao Ci moved his chopsticks with a little smile in the corner of his eyes.

Concubine Hui stared at Mu An with extreme dissatisfaction, as if she was going to stare at her into a hole, and snorted coldly: "Speaking in this palace, where is your turn to interject, I thought that I could grow a little better during this time in the palace, but it is really easy to change the nature of the country and difficult to change, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance!" ”

Xiao Ci's breath around him was slightly cold, Mu An held his hand, smiled and looked indifferent, and said, "Eat without saying anything."

She tasted all the delicious dishes on the table, and picked all the delicious dishes for Xiao Ci to put on the plate.

"You can't speak, you're the regent", she said: "My nature is easy to change, so I can naturally say that it's useless for me to eat without words, and if you still want to eat that, I'll clip it to you." ”

The soft voice with a small hook scratched Xiao Ci's heart inch by inch, and he said, "Don't eat it." ”

"That's not good", Mu An deliberately frowned: "You didn't eat well yesterday, I just ate it myself, I thought it was delicious before I served it to you, you have to finish it." ”

Xiao Ci chuckled: "Okay." ”

This scene of love and amusement between husband and wife, Concubine Hui hated her so much that Mu An returned all the sarcasm to her openly and secretly, and didn't take her seriously at all.

Concubine Hui's eyes were gloomy, she thought that Jiang Xue hadn't come in the past two days, and she was still such a girl with status and etiquette who was likable.

A breakfast let Mu An know that Xiao Ci had been doing his best to repay Concubine Hui's insignificant nurturing grace, and he didn't blame her for ignoring it when she was a child, and even included some other things.

But in the eyes of Concubine Hui, she hoped that Xiao Ci was a good knife in her hand, listening to her words, maybe she thought that Xiao Ci would call her "mother", but Mu An could see that this "mother" was no different from an ordinary name in Xiao Ci.

He will not be subject to anyone, he is an unruly wolf who cannot be harnessed by anyone.

On the way back, Mu An took the initiative to hold Xiao Ci's hand, she was so sad yesterday, someone set off fireworks to coax her, and coaxed her in the boat boat of the Chu River...... It's all about paying him back.

Xiao Ci pinched Mu An's bony fingers lightly for a while, and only after a long time did he say in a deep voice: "The daughter of a criminal minister is not allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum, and she is buried in an unknown place casually, so for so many years, I have never worshipped." ”

Knowing that she was talking about her biological mother, it was all about the previous dynasty, and after decades, Mu An didn't know how to comfort her, she was not good at it, but she just listened to Xiao Ci calmly, and her heart followed for no reason.

She listened silently.

Listening to Xiao Ci say: "For so many years, I'm just running away. ”

If he has to correct his biological mother's name, he will only cover his hands, and now the big beam, who dares to disobey him.

Not to mention simple worship.

He didn't want his mother to know that he had grown into a boring and empty conspirator in the whirlpool of power schemes, and now he still had a bit of a sense of failure, and the little emperor who supported him gradually grew up, and his heart was unstable, and he wanted to take back power from him, let him be a regent with an empty name, doubt him, and test him.

But Xiao Jingyan didn't know that Da Liang Daqi was still eyeing him now, if he fell, the Daliang royal family would not be shocked by him as a fledgling hairy boy.

For the next two days, Mu An didn't see Xiao Ci, and the folds handed over from all over the country were piled up high, and these people didn't know where they heard gossip similar to "the regent favors the princess", and one by one they kept transporting the local products from various states and counties.

The name said: "Let the princess try it." ”

Mu An couldn't cry or laugh, but he still tasted all the specialties from all over the world.

She studied for two days, and there was still no movement in the system space, similar to long-term dormancy, and every time Mu An's divine consciousness wanted to explore further, it would be bounced back by an enchantment.

This relieved her a little, at least to ensure that the system space was still there, and that it hadn't completely fallen apart.

She decided to go to Tianji Pavilion again.

In the afternoon, Mu An sat in the ready-to-wear shop for an hour, and the door of the teahouse opposite was still closed.

"How many days have you been locked up?"

Du Yao came in and said: "Miss, it's been closed for three days, and today is the fourth day, I've been in the garment shop for so many years, and the teahouse opposite has never been closed, I think something happened to the shopkeeper's house." ”

What could happen?

Mu An hastily drank a cup of tea, his heart was uneasy, and said to Qing Jian: "Go to Shen Mansion." ”

Octagon was puzzled: "Miss, that Shen Mansion?" ”

"Go find Shen Xingbai."
