Chapter Fifty-Seven: An Undercurrent Surges
Inside the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Study.
Mu Yunzhen said to the manager Chen beside him: "This time the vacancy of the position of the head of the household department is vacant, it is estimated that it will make many people's eyes hot!" ”
"That's not to ask the emperor to nod your head!" Chen Quan said as he bowed to the side.
"The household department is in charge of finance and people's livelihood, and you have to be honest and upright!" Mu Yunzhen is also worried about this vacancy.
After being silent for a while, Mu Yunzhen said to Chen Quan: "How is the matter going this time?" Did the prison robber get caught? ”
"If you go back to the emperor, the person who robbed the prison has found it, but unfortunately he has committed suicide in fear of sin, and he can't ask anything! I asked the soldiers who were guarding the city that day, and I confirmed that it was the one who escaped from the prison, and that's right! ”
"The slave inquired, this person is the housekeeper of Zuo Yi's mansion, and he knows some fists and feet, and he will go out of the city after saving Zuo Mingwen that day, fortunately, Zhao Lin, the captain who guards the city, was alert and found the abnormality, so he stopped them."
"Well, you can look at the arrangement of rewards or something!" Mu Yunzhen said a little absent-mindedly.
After a while, he frowned and said to Chen Quan: "I always feel that Zuo Yi's matter is not so simple, there seems to be another hidden story behind it, do you say this is Jing'er's doing, or Che'er?" ”
"This ...... The old slave was stupid, and he didn't find anything wrong......" Chen Quan said a little dazedly on the side.
Sometimes pretending to be stupid is also a smart thing, there is no shortage of smart people in this palace, what is lacking is people who can pretend to be stupid, which is also one of the reasons why Chen Quan can achieve today's position.
"You, what an old slippery head!" Mu Yunzhen glanced at Chen Quan with disgust, and didn't think that he would give him an answer, that is, Chen Quan would become the only person he could say more in this palace.
Mu Yunzhen gently tapped the table with his index finger, thinking over and over again all the details of the whole thing, hoping to find some clues from it.
But after thinking about it for a long time, there was no result, but two people suddenly appeared in front of his eyes - Bai Xiaoqi and Bai Xiaoba!
If they were not just ordinary illusionists, but children of the Immortal Sect who knew some skills, the whole thing might be explained in another way, and some unreasonable places would also be explained!
Thinking of this, Mu Yunzhen said to Chen Quan beside him: "After the court tomorrow morning, you will go to the Yong'an Palace, and say that I want to watch the illusion performance, so that Bai Xiaoqi and Bai Xiaoba on the Che'er Mansion can enter the palace to see me." ”
"Yes, the old slave wrote it down!"
Fenghe Palace.
Yanbei Wang Mu Yunqing sat there with an angry face, "I think this is a good thing that Mu Yunjing did!" ”
"Mu Yunjing? Do you think he will do this kind of thing that loses his wife and soldiers? Queen Yuan Miaoyin teased the canary in the cage with an indifferent face and spoke.
"What does the queen mean...... Mu Yunche? Mu Yunqing said Mu Yunqing's name with some suspicion, he still didn't take the unprofessional and idle Mu Yunche in his eyes.
"It's not him......" Yuan Miaoyin's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, lowered his eyes, did not look at Mu Yunqing, and continued to speak: "The children of the Immortal Sect who were sent out to assassinate Mu Yunche last time, but none of them came back!" ”
"What? That's a grandmaster-level immortal sect master! Why didn't my mother tell me sooner? Mu Yunqing was shocked when he heard this, and instantly looked at Mu Yunqing.
"Before I could do it, something happened to Zuo Shangshu! You'll have to be careful in the future. Yuan Miaoyin's heart suddenly flashed a trace of fierceness, and the bamboo stick in his hand poked hard at the canary's body, and the bird couldn't help but cry in pain.
The sound reached Yuan Miaoyin's ears, which made her feel even more upset, and she pushed the birdcage aside, and when the maid saw this, she hurriedly stepped up and left the cage, and the wailing sound gradually faded away, and Yuan Miaoyin's heart calmed down.
"Tomorrow, the three major immortal sects will send people to investigate this matter, and more than a dozen grandmaster-level disciples are here, this matter can't be good!" Yuan Miaoyin glanced at the worried Mu Yunqing, and then said:
"Don't worry, I've taken care of it, they won't bother us! The Queen Mother's birthday is approaching, I have already told the emperor that tomorrow I will invite the immortals of the three major sects to enter the palace to pray for the Queen Mother, and I wish you that they will make good use of this opportunity! ”
Hearing this, Mu Yunqing breathed a sigh of relief, and said respectfully to Yuan Miaoyin: "The child has today's status and glory, it is all up to his mother to plan and take care of it for me, and Qing'er will definitely honor you well in the future." ”
When Yuan Miaoyin heard this, she felt a little comforted in her heart, and her eyes softened a lot when she looked at Mu Yunqing, "You and my mother and son don't be so polite, as long as you are obedient, the benefits in the future will be indispensable to you!" ”
"Sons remember their mother's teachings!" Mu Yunqing said respectfully to Yuan Miaoyin.
"Do you have a candidate for the position of the household department?" Yuan Miaoyin asked.
"Back to his mother's words, the child thinks that Li Wen of the household department is good, this person is Zuo Yi's henchman, I have also met it a few times, he is still loyal, has some ambitions, and has a certain ability, and is familiar with the affairs of the household department." Mu Yunqing said the candidate in his heart.
"Well, the main thing is loyalty, if you find out that he is a half-hearted person, give him a result." Yuan Miaoyin still has a certain trust in Mu Yunqing's vision of seeing people, but she feels that if someone can't be used for herself, she can only kill them.
"The ministers have written it down, and when I go back in a while, I will order someone to inform the ministers to recommend him." Mu Yunqing nodded and said to Yuan Miaoyin.
Yong'an Palace.
Mu Yunche was sleeping beautifully in the house, when suddenly, he heard a loud noise, and the mountains shook in an instant, so frightened that he jumped up from the bed with a carp, and hurriedly ran out, shouting while running: "Earth, earthquake, earthquake......"
But when he ran into the yard, he found that the small garden he had carefully planted was like a hurricane, a mess and miserable.
After standing in the courtyard for a long time and not seeing any vibration, Mu Yunche reacted at this time, it was not an earthquake, but someone deliberately sabotage!
"Bai, Xiao, Seven-" Mu Yunche let out an angry roar and shouted Bai Xiaoqi's name word by word.
At this moment, a gray figure leaned out of a bamboo forest, stretched his neck, and looked cautiously towards this side with a pair of dark eyes.
When she heard Mu Yunche shouting her name, she couldn't help but tremble, turned around and wanted to run, only to hear Mu Yunche behind her say coldly: "Where are you going, do you want to run if you get into trouble?" ”
"Hey...... I didn't want to run, I just saw that you were too tired to stand here, and I wanted to move a stool for you. Bai Xiaoqi knew that he had been discovered, his neck shrunk, and he walked over cautiously, smiling wryly.
"A few days after you came, my palace was demolished into ruins by you, how do you say you want to compensate me?" Mu Yunche stared at Bai Xiaoqi with an unkind expression and said.
"Hey...... It's all an accident, an accident, can't I fix it for you! As he spoke, Bai Xiaoqi waved his hand, and the entire palace instantly returned to its original state.
Mu Yunche was stunned for a moment when he saw this, he didn't expect Bai Xiaoqi to have such a means to make everything return to its original state in an instant.
But he reacted in the next second, and said with a dark face: "An illusion wants to send me away?" ”
"Emergency, emergency ......" Bai Xiaoqi saw that Mu Yunche didn't buy it, so he hurriedly accepted the illusion and smiled flatteringly at Mu Yunche: "Then what do you say?" Fix it, I'm sure I won't......"
"I said? Then you will be punished to serve me in women's clothes for a day. Mu Yunche said to Bai Xiaoqi with a wicked smile, He is now making up for the appearance of Bai Xiaoqi, who has a jade-like face, wearing women's clothes to serve himself.
"No, I'm a big man, what do I look like in women's clothes, I'm also a generation of immortal leaders, don't I want to lose face if this is going to be passed out?" Bai Xiaoqi was instantly a little scared when he heard this, and said calmly.
"If my master was here, he wouldn't let me embarrass him like this!"
"That's right, don't wear it!" As soon as Bai Xiaoqi's words fell, a white figure like a fairy fell in the courtyard.
Bai Xiaoqi and Mu Yunche were stunned for a moment when they heard the sound - it was Yun Ze.
After Bai Xiaoqi saw the visitor, he ran over happily, hugged Yun Ze, and sniffed the smell of his body greedily, I don't know why, as long as he smells the smell of the master, he will have a sense of security.
"Did you miss me?" Yun Ze looked at Bai Xiaoqi in his arms with a doting face, and smiled gently.
"I want to, I think every day!" Xiao Qi said without thinking.
Hearing this, Yun Ze smiled lightly, and the tiredness and longing of these days were swept away, "I thought you were already happy!" ”
"How come, where can I compare to Master's Cuilin Garden, I will return to Cuilin Garden in the future, I am willing to stay in it for the rest of my life and not come out, so I will accompany Master!" Bai Xiaoqi has been missing Yun Ze in his heart for these days, thinking about returning to Cuilin Garden.
No matter how beautiful the outside world is, it is just a landscape, and Cuilin Garden is her paradise.
"The affairs in the sect have been almost dealt with, let's come back when we have enough fun outside!" Yun Ze looked at Bai Xiaoqi and said softly, and said in his heart: I haven't seen him for a few days, his Xiaoqi has grown a little taller, and he is getting better and better.
"Master, have you lost ...... weight" Bai Xiaoqi wrapped his arms around Yun Ze's slender waist, looked up at his somewhat thin face, and said with some distress.
"It's okay...... Yun Ze lowered his head and gently touched Bai Xiaoqi's hair, his eyes were full of tenderness.
"Where's Hachi? Is it better? After a while, Yun Ze remembered that he still had an injured apprentice, so he asked.
"In the house over there!" Speaking of Xiaoba, Bai Xiaoqi subconsciously let go of the hand holding Yun Ze, took two steps back, and pointed to the house not far away and said to Yun Ze.
Xiao Qi's move made Yun Ze's heart ache, and he thought a little lost: "Are you still late?" ”
"You wait for me here, I'll just go by myself!" Yun Ze didn't want Xiao Qi to follow him, so he said to her.
Although Xiao Qi didn't know why Bai Yunze didn't let him follow, he still didn't ask anything, and stood there obediently, watching Yun Ze walk into Xiao Ba's house.
After entering the house, Yun Zejing walked to Xiao Ba's bed and looked at him with a solemn face, completely lacking the gentleness he had for Xiao Qi.
When Hachi saw Yun Ze, he hurriedly got up and fell to his knees.
