Chapter Seventy-Four: The Inner Palace's Secret Agent Bai Xi

"Madam, the weather is getting colder, I have added you a thick quilt, you cover it, it is not cold at night." Qiu Tang hugged back a thick quilt in the middle of the afternoon, smiling brightly.

"You, it's too thin...... Mother Xu is now gradually able to express her meaning in simple words, she is saying that the clothes on Qiu Tang's body are too thin.

"Madame, I'm not cold." Qiu Tang smiled and spread the quilt on the bed, Xu's mother has now been able to have such a brief communication with people, Qiu Tang is very happy.

"Cold ......" Mother Xu stretched out her hand, grabbed Qiu Tang's sleeve, and shouted cold.

"Madam, don't worry, I'm not cold now, wait for two days, I'll go buy a few thick clothes for each of us, and we'll wear them in winter." Qiu Tang was cared for by Xu's mother so much, and she was a little uncomfortable for a while.

Hearing Qiu Tang say that she would buy thick clothes in two days, Xu's mother smiled and let go of her hand and lay down quietly.

Qiu Tang saw that Xu's mother was lying down, so he tucked the corner of the quilt: "Madam, you lie down and rest, I'll cook for you." Today I bought fish, let's stew fish soup and drink it. ”

Mother Xu smiled and nodded slightly, she knew that Qiu Tang stewed all kinds of soup for her every day, and whether it was meat or soup, it was only given to her alone, and Qiu Tang didn't touch it.

"Your Highness, have you heard? King Qi sealed Prince Qi, and the saint also gave him a house in the palace to live in, as if he didn't plan to let him return to the fief. Li Xusong muttered quietly beside Mu Linghuan.

"What does it have to do with me if he makes him his prince?" Mu Lingyi sneered.

"From the perspective of the miscellaneous family, the Holy Lord is looking for an opportunity for him to take your place......" Li Xusong said as he glanced at Mu Lingyi with his eyes.

"To you?" Mu Lingyi looked Li Xusong up and down, "His mind is something you can guess?" Or do you think someone can replace me? ”

"The miscellaneous family doesn't dare to ......," Li Xusong said hurriedly.

"If you think you have no future with me, you can find another high branch, and you don't have to be wronged by me." Mu Lingyi couldn't help but feel funny when he saw Li Xusong's cowardice.

"No, no, no, the miscellaneous family has always been loyal to His Highness, born as His Highness's person, and died as His Highness's ghost." Li Xusong hurriedly knelt at Mu Lingyi's feet, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

"Hmph, get up, forgive you for not having two hearts." Mu Lingyi snorted coldly.

"What do the two generals think?" Mu Jianyu sat on the dragon chair, frowning, he wanted to depose the prince and establish Prince Qi as the crown prince, but he knew that the queen mother had been seeking power and power since the previous dynasty, otherwise he would not have successfully ascended the throne, but after he ascended the throne and reigned in the world, he no longer wanted to continue to be held hostage by the queen mother. But he also knew very well that the only two generals he could rely on were the dragon and tiger.

"Holy Lord, after the battle with the Qimu clan in the hands of the last general, there are not many people left, and after resting and replenishing, there are only 50,000 horses." General Long hugged his fists. 50,000 horses may be enough for the escort, but the premise is that there is no foreign invasion, not only is there no foreign invasion, but the court can be shaken, and there are no ill-intentioned people who collude inside and outside to covet the throne, in this case, 50,000 horses are like a fictitious.

"Fifty thousand...... I didn't expect that I was a dignified and secluded king, and there were only 50,00......0 people and horses that could be mobilized," Mu Jianyu felt a burst of sadness in his heart.

"Why don't you contact the old ministers of the court? Those old ministers lead troops all the year round, and if they are willing to go out of the mountains to escort them, they will have no scruples. General Tiger thought about it again and again and decided to mention those old ministers.

"Alas......" Mu Jianyu sighed, "Those old ministers have been sick and dead in recent years, even if those who are alive and well, they have already been bought by the minions of the Queen Mother, I never thought of them, but they told me that whether it is the seventh prince or the eleventh prince, they are all my heirs, no matter who the country is passed on, it is still my country, not to mention that the eleventh prince grew up in the holy city and is more familiar with the courtiers, compared to the cold nature of the seventh prince, it is easier to take over the country from my hands." ”

"This ......" The two generals looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

"Alright, you guys stand down first." Mu Jianyu sent the two generals out, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, and the hereditary throne, no matter who it is passed on, it is passed on to his son, but the pimple in Mu Jianyu's heart can't get over it anyway, not to mention, the former bone test, Mu Jianyu always felt that something was wrong, but at that time, for the sake of royal face, it was not good for him to overturn what he saw with his own eyes.

"You Dexing." Mu Jianyu hesitated again and again, but still called You Dexing, "Find Bai Xi." ”

"Yes." You Dexing chuckled in his heart. Bai Xi is an inner palace agent raised by Mu Jianyu, mainly to help Mu Jianyu avoid the eyes and ears of the queen mother, and to explore the intertwined relationships and secrets of invisible people in the harem. Now Mu Jianyu is bent on deposing the crown prince, what is he doing at this time to summon Bai Xi.

Not long after, Bai Xi withdrew You Dexing and others with the Inner Palace's amnesty waist card, and met Mu Jianyu alone. The master and servant chatted for a long time in the imperial study, and You Dexing didn't know when Bai Xi left. This is the rule set by Mu Jianyu.

"You Dexing," when Mu Jianyu asked You Dexing to go in again, Mu Jianyu was the only one in the imperial study, "Accompany me to see Qi Meiren, I haven't seen her for a few days." ”

"Yes."

"You're here." Yue Shumei sat on the soft couch and looked lazily at the woman kneeling under the couch.

"The little girl Yuechan has seen the eldest lady." Yuechan saluted respectfully.

"Get up." Yue Shumei said lightly, "Sit down." I haven't seen you for a few days, but I've learned the rules of Da You. ”

"The little girl remembers the mission and does not dare to slack off."

"Okay, don't be polite. I want you to come this time because of two things, the first is to tell me what Mu Jianyu is planning now, and the second is to hear what you think of Prince Qi. "Yue Shumei Feige passed the book and asked Yue Chan to go out of the palace no matter what, in fact, it was mainly for Mu Linghong. This Mu Linghong is so low-key and transparent that Ke Xia almost didn't get anything about him. was forced to order Yuechan out of the palace.

"Miss Hui, Mu Jianyu has been arguing with the ministers in the imperial study for the past few days, and it is nothing more than about the deposition of the prince, and there is nothing else. Prince Qi ...... Is the eldest lady talking about Prince Qi who was crowned by Mu Jianyu a few days ago? Yuechan hesitated a little, and when she saw Yue Shumei nodding, she continued, "Prince Qi only entered the palace some time ago, I heard that he had been in the fief before, he was the son of An Jieyu in the harem, the mother and son have almost the same temperament, they are both cold by nature, they don't like to interact with people, there are no friendly ministers in the court, and there is no powerful mother family behind them, if it weren't for the little girl's deliberate attention, I really didn't know that there were such two people in the harem." ”

"In this way, this mother and son are also ordinary people in the harem?" Yue Shumei confirmed again.

"Yes. The eldest lady doesn't have to take these two to heart. ”

"That being the case, I'm relieved. Go back to the palace, you've been out for a long time, and you're afraid of causing unnecessary trouble. Let's go back. Yue Shumei nodded and sent Yue Chan out.

"Greetings to the Holy One." Stepping into the Chenghuan Palace, the maids and servants in the palace knelt together.

"Excuse me. What about the beauty? Why didn't you come out to pick up the driver? Mu Jianyu was a little displeased.

"Back to the saint, our master is unwell and has just fallen asleep." Yuan Ruo knelt in front of Mu Jianyu and whispered back.

"Uncomfortable? Have you seen it? Mu Jianyu looked in the direction of the window of the inner room.

"I read it, prescribed a few pairs of medicines, and the master drank it and fell asleep."

"I'm going to take a look." Through the half-light and half-dark window, Mu Jianyu saw the gently swaying curtain inside, and the curiosity in his heart was aroused.

"Holy not." Yuan Ruo got up quickly, ran to Mu Jianyu and knelt down again, stopping Mu Jianyu's footsteps, "The saint can't, the master is sick, and the saint goes in at this time, for fear that the illness will contaminate the holy body." ”

"Sick?" Mu Jianyu glanced at Yuan Ruo, who was a little flustered, "I am the chosen son, I am just sick, what can I do?" After Mu Jianyu finished speaking, he bypassed Yuan Ruo and broke into the house in a few steps, just at the moment when Mu Jianyu was about to raise his hand to open the curtain first, the curtain was opened from the inside, Yuechan's haggard face bowed down, Mu Jianyu saw this and hurriedly helped him up, "Get up quickly, don't get up when you are sick." ”

"Please forgive your sins." Yuechan leaned on the crook of Mu Jianyu's arm and returned to the bed, "When the concubine was asleep, she vaguely heard the voice of the saint outside the window, I wanted to go out to pick up the driver, but I didn't want to feel unwell, I delayed the time, the concubine was late to take over, please forgive the saint." ”

"That's it. If I had known that you were sick, I would have brought the Imperial Doctor to see you earlier. Mu Jianyu sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Yuechan who was leaning on the head of the bed, with a green silk loosely tied up her hair hanging aside, her face was pale, and she was haggard and haggard, with a unique charm.

"Thank you for your concern, the concubine just copied the scriptures for the Queen Mother a few days ago too late, and I am afraid that the cold wind will blow, so she is sick." Yuechan smiled reluctantly. The haggard on his face is not pretended, he is tired of digging secret passages all night, and his pale face is not pretended, he has just returned from outside the palace, and he is tired and frightened, so he is white.

"If you're weak, don't do these things." Mu Jianyu heard that he was sick because he copied scriptures for the Queen Mother, and he had less desire to care when he arrived.

"Although the concubine has admired the saint for a long time, but has never had the opportunity to get close, thanks to the queen mother, the concubine has the blessing of serving the saint, and now the queen mother is gone, the concubine must express her sorrow no matter what." Yuechan's eyes were full of tears.

"People can't be resurrected after death, but the living still have to take care of their bodies." After listening to Yuechan's confession, Mu Jianyu felt a little better, regardless of whether Yuechan was deliberately trained and arranged by the Queen Mother's side, but now Yuechan confesses her heart like this, and she is also a loving person.

"Yes. The concubine wrote it down. Yuechan nodded.

"Alright, let's rest. I'll come to see you more when I'm free. Mu Jianyu got up to leave, "By the way, what do you think of Prince Qi?" Mu Jianyu stopped and asked suddenly.

"Prince Qi is a very good person." Yuechan blurted out.

"Oh? Are you familiar with Prince Qi? Mu Jianyu looked at Yuechan again, and there was a hint of other flavor in his eyes.
