"Niangniang, are these all rewards from the Queen Mother?" Luo Yu asked incredulously.

Mu Sheng nodded, "Go and put all these rewards away." Then he commanded the maidservants behind him.

"Niangniang, the Queen Mother called you this time, it must not be as simple as a reward, right?"

Mu Sheng knew in his heart, Luo Yu, this girl was smart, and she could still see Lu Lan's thoughts.

Then he looked at her and said, "That's right, there is something else about her calling this palace, so can you guess what it is?" ”

"The slave maid guessed, I'm afraid she wanted Niangniang to observe the emperor's movements." Luo Yu said a word, and unconsciously made Mu Sheng a little impressed by this girl, and then she continued,

"The time for the mother to enter the palace is still short, who in this palace does not know that the emperor and the queen mother have been secretly competing, the relationship between their mother and son has long been discordant, this concubine is not as good as the mother when it comes to intelligence, so the slave thinks that the queen mother will definitely choose the mother."

"I didn't expect you, a little maid, to have such a mind, this palace really underestimates you."

Mu Sheng originally wanted to praise her, but as soon as the words came out, Luo Yu said in a panic: "Niangniang, the slave is just talking nonsense, you don't have to care so much." ”

Seeing that she looked like she had done something wrong, Mu Sheng couldn't help but smile and said, "Look at what scared you, this palace just wants to praise you, where do you want to go." ”

Luo Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "Niangniang, you scared the slave to death, you have to be cautious in your words and deeds in this deep palace, those words just now, if I hadn't said them to Niangniang, it is estimated that I would have died thousands of times." ”

"Okay, how can it be so serious, but it is indeed right to be cautious in words and deeds, if you want to survive well in this palace, you must learn not to listen to what you shouldn't hear, don't say what you shouldn't say, and you can't do anything you shouldn't do."

Luo Yu saw that Mu Sheng seemed to have made a decision, and nodded in agreement: "What Niangniang said is true." ”

But after thinking about it, Mu Sheng still felt that Yan Qinghan and Xiaoyi should be informed of this matter before making a decision.

But remembering Xiaoyi's words before, he would not enter the palace in the near future, and the Queen Mother was waiting for her to reply, and Mu Sheng made a mistake again. ……

That day, before Xiaoyi went to the palace, a disciple brought back a seriously injured woman, and Xiaoyi saw that it was the moon smoke of Dongchuan who had traveled with Chen Yi before.

After inquiry, I learned that it was when the disciple passed through the dense forest on the outskirts of the city that he saw that she was injured and fell to the ground unconscious, which brought her back to Qingxiao. After Xiaoyi placed her properly, he first helped her stabilize her injuries, and then called Chen Yi over.

Chen Yi saw her and was very worried.

"She obviously parted ways with me at that time, how could she appear in Wanchao and be so seriously injured?"

Chen Yi looked at Xiaoyi with a worried face, Xiaoyi shook her head, "Then naturally we won't know until she wakes up." ”

"Could it be that something happened to my mother?" Chen Yi asked worriedly again.

"Don't worry, she may not have found the whereabouts of Lan Nian's senior, so the senior must be safe." Xiaoyi said with relief.

This is the first time Xiaoyi has seen Chen Yi lose his square inch, even when they ran away together, he has never seen him like this, it can be seen that the woman in front of him and the news she can bring to Chen Yi must be very important to him.

After a long time, Yueyan slowly became conscious, she opened her eyes slightly, and a familiar figure appeared in front of her.

"Sister Yueyan, you're awake, what happened?" Chen Yi said earnestly.

Yueyan wanted to speak, but she couldn't speak, Xiaoyi suddenly understood that she was being tapped by someone, and stepped forward and stretched out her hand to untie it.

As soon as the dumb hole was resolved, Yueyan's throat made a sound.

"I originally planned to go all the way to Qingtai to inquire about Master's news, but not long after I was separated from Chenyi, I found out that I was being followed."

"I was afraid that my whereabouts would be exposed, so I could only return to the Wan Dynasty all the way, but who knew that a group of black-clothed people suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the city, and they chased after them, so I opened my hand with them, but I was outnumbered, and I was injured by them, and then I woke up and appeared here."

Yueyan told the story of what happened before she was injured, in fact, she thought about escaping to Qingxiao, but she was afraid of injuring Chen Yi and them, so she dispelled this idea again.

After hearing this, Chen Yi and the two looked at each other.

"It's a chase again, who wants your life so much?" Chen Yi frowned and said, now he is even more convinced that the current group of people and the group of people who chased and killed his mother more than ten years ago are definitely the same person.

"Since they are going straight to you, it means that they know your purpose, but if they don't kill you, wouldn't it be easier for them to find Lan Nian's senior, so why do they have to take your life?" Xiaoyi is also puzzled.

But Yueyan was also confused, she didn't know who it was, but she also felt that Xiaoyi made sense, what was the purpose of these people, which was really puzzling.

Seeing that there were still no clues after Yueyan woke up, Xiaoyi went to the palace to find Mu Sheng first.

And the reason why he told Mu Sheng that he would not enter the palace again in the near future was to investigate this group of people who chased and killed Yueyan.

I wanted to continue to start with Yueyan, but the useful information it could provide was very little, but Yueyan didn't know that they couldn't find anything at all when they checked like this, but she was forced by the master's advice and couldn't reveal it, and in the end she could only fall into a stalemate.

Later, Yueyan's injury was almost over, although Chen Yi was reluctant to let her go, but he really couldn't resist her, so he could only let her go, and Yueyan said goodbye to Qingxiao again.

However, this time, in order to disguise her identity, Yueyan used a face-changing pill, and set off on the road after full preparation, she felt that it was time to go to the master, some things were going to surface after all, and the master would not be able to hide it even if he wanted to.

……

Xiaoyi hadn't gone to inquire about the news in the palace for so long, and Yan Qinghan had never summoned him, so he couldn't help but be a little worried about Mu Sheng's situation in the palace.

After thinking about it, tonight, he planned to sneak into the palace to have a look.

In the Huaqing Palace, Mu Sheng was still struggling with the affairs of the Queen Mother, Yan Qinghan didn't know when he entered the palace, and when Mu Sheng saw him, he was a little unexpected.

Looking outside the hall, I don't know where the eunuchs and maidservants outside the hall have gone, and I don't know how to prepare her psychologically.

Yan Qinghan seemed to see what she was thinking, and said lightly: "Don't look at it, they were all dismissed by me, it's just that you thought about things too much and didn't notice it." ”

Mu Sheng smiled awkwardly before saying, "I said, they didn't say a word when the emperor came, this laziness is too much." ”

"I heard that the queen mother came to Shoukang Palace for you today, did she embarrass you?" Yan Qinghan got straight to the point, but he didn't hesitate at all.

"It's not embarrassing, presumably the emperor also knows what the queen mother is looking for me, right?" Mu Sheng didn't believe that since he could know about the Queen Mother's summons for him, he still didn't know that he had cleaned up Fang Lanzhi.

"I know that Fang Lanzhi has been able to stop for a few days recently after you have been tossed around like this." You can hear that Yan Qinghan's tone is relaxed, and Mu Sheng knows that he has solved a big trouble for him.

"Since the emperor knows this, will he still not know what the queen mother is looking for me?"

"And she did!?" Seeing Mu Sheng ask like this, the guess in Yan Qinghan's heart seemed to be correct.

"It's just that I haven't replied to the Queen Mother yet, I think this matter should be let the emperor know before making plans."

Mu Sheng didn't expect it, she didn't wait for Xiaoyi but waited for Yan Qinghan first, what she should tell about this matter is Xiaoyi, if she becomes a double-faced work of Yan Qinghan and Lu Lan, I don't know what Xiaoyi's expression will be when she finally knows.

"Or are you thoughtful, so what do you think?" Yan Qinghan looked at Mu Sheng and asked her opinion.

Although Mu Sheng hesitated, Yan Qinghan had already opened her mouth, and she couldn't help but give an answer, she was in a dilemma, she made a bold decision.

"According to Mu Sheng, it is better to respond to the queen mother's wishes, and after gaining her trust, the emperor can also know the queen mother's movements better, right?"

After hearing this, Yan Qinghan thought for a moment before nodding slowly, "According to what you said, but you have to be very careful, the queen mother is not a person who can be deceived so easily, and she must not make any mistakes." Yan Qinghan's tone revealed a hint of worry.

"Your Majesty, rest assured." Mu Sheng replied.

Not long after Yan Qinghan left, Xiaoyi jumped down from Mu Sheng's temple beam, scaring Mu Sheng so much that he almost screamed.

"Xiao... Xiaoyi, when did you come? Why do you always come and go without a trace? Mu Sheng covered his mouth and asked in a low voice, for fear of letting the third person hear.

Xiaoyi looked at her like a thief and looked at herself, and said a little speechlessly: "Are you so timid in your own palace?" ”

"Nonsense, do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me right now?" Mu Sheng retorted.

Xiao Yi looked around, he had cleared all the obstacles when he came early in the morning, and there was naturally no second pair of eyes staring at Mu Sheng except him.

"Yes, it's just me." When Xiaoyi said this, Mu Sheng couldn't wait to punch him, he was worried about his life, but he still had the heart to make fun of himself.

"When the hell were you here, did you hear the conversation between me and Yan Qinghan just now?" Mu Sheng looked up at the staggered beams, but he really didn't know where he was hiding, and he hadn't been discovered by Yan Qinghan yet.

"I heard it, you said that you had to promise the Queen Mother to do her fine work." Xiaoyi said indifferently.

"You know it, you won't object to my hasty decision, right?" Mu Sheng looked at him with a calm look and asked again.

"No, why object, if you do the queen mother's meticulous work, then we will know her every move better, why not?" Xiaoyi shook his hand.

Seeing him say this, Mu Sheng's hanging heart was also put down, she was still worried about when to tell him, he appeared in front of her, and now the solution is really satisfactory to her.

"But," Xiaoyi changed his words, as if he still had something to say, "can you handle such a risky thing with confidence?" ”

Hearing that Xiaoyi was worried about herself, Mu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then said confidently: "Don't you still believe me?" She's me."

"A character you haven't fought in your previous life." Before Mu Sheng finished speaking, Xiaoyi took the words.

Mu Sheng gave him a blank look, "It's someone I have known for a long time." "I said what I was going to say later.

"By the way, what the hell are you doing after you've been missing for so long?"

"I went to investigate the whereabouts of Chenyi's mother." Xiaoyi said simply.

"Chenyi's mother? Is Chenyi's mother still alive in the world? Mu Sheng asked in surprise.

"When did I say his mother died?" Xiaoyi asked rhetorically.

"But you didn't say she's still alive, I saw that you never mentioned her, and I thought she had ...... a long time ago," Mu Sheng said innocently.

"His mother didn't die, but she was hunted down and killed in her early years, so she left in order not to affect their father and son, and she hasn't shown up until now, Chen Yi was still young at that time, and he didn't say anything after his master's death, so we haven't found anything now."

"That's a tricky thing to say. However, there is one thing I have always forgotten to tell you, it is something that I discovered in the palace with Yan Qinghan some time ago. ”

Mu Sheng remembered the incident of the secret alley cold palace half a month ago, and planned to inform Xiaoyi.

"What?"

"Half a month ago, Yan Qinghan's guard Tan'er found Concubine Li, who had been imprisoned by King Gaoping for decades in a secret alley, in a deep palace, and she told us something before she died."

"She asked Yan Qinghan to go to the Qingfang Temple in Wuqi Mountain to find a person named Jingkong Shitai when there is a big disaster in the future, and she will help Yan Qinghan survive the catastrophe at that time."

"And this matter, did he go to find out what that Concubine Li said later?" Xiaoyi was surprised and asked again.

"No, but I later learned that he took Tan'er away from me to make her do something, and I don't know the rest."

After listening to Mu Sheng's words, Xiaoyi twisted his eyebrows and thought about it.

After a while, he said: "I will go back to investigate this matter after I leave the palace, and the palace will be handed over to you." ”

"Well, be careful, if Yan Qinghan's people appear, don't run into them."

After Mu Sheng's advice, Xiaoyi also left.
