Deep in the main courtyard.

Mu Xijun was a little surprised, watching Mu Junlan gently turn the porcelain vase in an inconspicuous position.

Bell Boom Boom –

The other wall was turned upside down, and behind it was a deep passage.

What is it?

Why did my father never say it?

What's hidden in this?

He didn't speak, but looked at Mu Junlan.

If my father doesn't say it, I won't ask, but when the time comes, he will.

Mu Xijun thought so.

"Come in with me," Mu Junlan looked at Mu Xijun's reaction and nodded with satisfaction.

Since you don't say anything and don't ask, then this secret may be kept forever.

At the mouth of the deep passage, it seems that a monster is waiting for someone to enter the secret, and then swallow it in one gulp.

As soon as the two stepped in, the wall slowly flipped and closed again.

It's still a wall, and if it doesn't flip, no one knows if it's a stone or a secret repository behind it?

They didn't notice that at the door of this secret room, a small figure was there, covering his mouth.

If Mu Junlan was not so confident and careless, he would have found that figure, that figure was none other than his third daughter, Mu Xiyuan!

That...... What kind of place is there...... Why does Daddy have such a big secret that no one knows?!

Mu Xiyuan felt very restrained and bored in the main courtyard, and under the pretext that there were living people, she complained to Old Man Mu and Old Lady Mu, left the main hall, and followed Mu Xijun and them here curiously.

I didn't expect ......

She just felt a little weak in her legs.

If Daddy knew he had discovered this place.....

That...... How will Daddy punish her......

Difficult...... Don't...... Kill......

Will you be ...... like that?

The more Mu Xiyuan thought about it, the more scared she became, and the more she was afraid, the more she thought about it......

Her little face was pale, and her lips were pursed tightly, trying not to make a sound.

pinched his thighs hard, held on to the wall, trembled, and moved back to his boudoir step by step.

He didn't even notice the maid's greeting, and lay straight on his boudoir, staring blankly at the pendant on the roof.

I was soaked in cold sweat, and I was lying in bed for the next few days - I caught a cold.

Inside the secret room.

Mu Xijun's ears moved, and his intuition told him that someone was following.

But seeing that Mu Junlan was full of confidence, he didn't bother.

"Father," he said, still unable to hold back his breath, "the child always felt that someone was following us behind us. ”

Mu Junlan raised his eyebrows, shook his head, and said confidently, "No, now your grandma and your grandfather are chatting with Xiao Ning, and they will never come to disturb us." ”

"That'...... Could it be a little sister? Mu Xijun continued to ask.

Mu Junlan paused, pondered for a while, and affirmed: "You must know that among your three brothers and sisters, Xi Yuan is the least courageous, and Xi Yao is with your mother, it is impossible!" ”

Mu Xijun was still thinking about that trace of feeling, but was interrupted by Mu Junlan, "Don't think about those who have and don't, we're almost there!" ”

He also reminded Mu Xijun, "Xijun, this secret, God knows, and then I know, now add you, as long as we don't tell it, no one will ever know this secret!" ”

What exactly is the secret?

Mu Xijun frowned, and next, he saw a small jade-colored dragon body pedestal on a table.

This is...... He didn't have much of an impression of it, just a little familiar......

It seems like...... A stamp?

"Have you seen enough?" Mu Junlan's cold voice interrupted his train of thought, "Come and take a look here." ”

Mu Xijun turned his head, and his pupils tended to dilate.

What did he see?

The walls around Mu Junlan were plastered with maps, distribution maps, and the situation in each Ya County.

And a whole bunch of names on the list.

"If these things are exposed in broad daylight, we Mufu will not be able to keep no number of death-free gold medals."

Mu Junlan knew that this sentence would cause an uproar, but he said it anyway.

"You come," he called out to Mu Xijun, "look at this, I only told you this today, I said too much, you can't digest it." ”

Mu Xijun smiled bitterly.

Seeing this, he couldn't digest it anymore.

And he remembered what that little thing like a seal was.

It was when he was still young, and he entered the palace with his father, and the emperor was criticizing the chapter.

The thing on the table looked like the one the emperor was holding!

Father...... What do you want to do?

Mu Xijun walked over, and Mu Junlan pointed to a map for him: "This is the distribution map of several masters in Huadu." ”

This is, it's Mufu.

Qian Fu.

Qin Mansion.

In fact, there used to be a mansion, but now it is not called a mansion.

Mu Junlan's eyes were cold, "The owner of that mansion is surnamed Xia!" ”

Mu Xijun snorted.

Summer...... Now the emperor's surname is Xia......

Mu Junlan continued to talk to himself.

One news after another blew up Mu Xijun's dizziness.

More than half of the court officials in the Mufu are protégés of the Mufu family.

The main grain and wealth of the Qian Mansion, and most of the wealth in the treasury now has passed through the hands of the Qian Mansion.

And the Qin Mansion .......

Speaking of this, Mu Junlan paused for a moment and asked Mu Xijun: "I heard that Qin Lan, the third lady of the Qin Mansion, is interested in you?" ”

Ah——?h

Mu Xijun smiled bitterly, how do I feel that you know everything, Dad.

Nodding, "Yes, but the child refused." ”

Mu Junlan stroked his beard, "It's okay to refuse, so as not to be suspicious of the emperor." ”

What does this have to do with the emperor's suspicions?

"....... Qin Mansion," Mu Junlan pondered, muttering, "The surname is Qin...... Go out one by one...... They are all good at training......"

Mu Xijun was stunned and surprised, "Father, what do you mean, Qin Mansion...... Master ......"

"It's good to know, there's no need to say it." Mu Junlan looked at the north, there, in the direction of the palace, "I hope he doesn't notice anything......"

At this time, the emperor in Mu Junlan's mouth was playing chess with the eldest prince.

"Haha, Chu'er! Your chess skills have grown a lot! The emperor was pleased.

The eunuch waiting on the side was also flattering, "The eldest prince's hand, but it is really powerful, although the slave can't understand it, but looking at His Majesty's appearance, he knows that it must be a good move!" ”

Xia Chu said modestly: "Erchen doesn't know what chess skills are, but as long as the father is happy, no matter how much Erchen pays, it is worth it!" ”

"Okay, what's modest," the emperor smiled, took the tea from the eunuch's hand, took a small rinse, and asked.

"By the way, Grandpa Chen, if there is anything interesting recently, let's talk to me and let me have fun."

The Emperor gently adjusted his sitting position on the dragon couch and leaned against the wall.

"Your Majesty," Gonggong Chen made a joke, "The emperor is so busy, and he is also sympathetic to the people's livelihood, and the servants thank the emperor for everyone!" ”

"Hey! Don't mess with those nonsense! The emperor waved his hand, "Say, didn't you celebrate the Qiqiao Festival before?" Let's talk about what's new. ”

"Yes-" Gonggong Chen arched his hand, "I can hear that the third miss of the Qin Mansion, the eighth miss of the Qian Mansion, and the eldest prince of the Mu Mansion had some small disputes that day, and then the third miss of the Qin Mansion left first for some reason, and the eighth miss of the Qian Mansion also left in a bad mood!" ”

"Third Miss Qin Mansion, Eighth Miss Qian Mansion, Grand Prince of Mu Mansion," the emperor thought for a while, "But Qin Lan, Qian Qianqian, and Mu Xijun?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it's-" Gonggong Chen continued, "I don't know what kind of conflict the three of them had, the third lady of the Qin Mansion left sadly, and the eighth miss of the Qian Mansion slapped the eldest prince of the Mu Mansion before leaving." ”

"Interesting," the corners of the Emperor's mouth curled, "it's really good fun!" Thank you for your hard work, Grandpa Chen, go down and receive the reward! ”

"The minions are retired—"

The emperor rubbed a chess piece in his palm and thought slowly.

The chess game with the eldest prince at the beginning of summer was also a little absent-minded.

Mufu ...... Qian Fu ...... Qinfu ......

"General!" At the beginning of summer, there was a "snap", and a son fell.

When the emperor looked at it, he smiled and said, "Chu Er thinks that a small soldier can make his father the emperor's general?" ”

Xia Chu was stunned.

The emperor was also in a trance...... Soldier.......

I heard that Mu Junlan married the daughter of a Jianghu...... And there were no concubines......

Did he really think that one Jianghu family could overturn the entire court?

"Hehe, Chu'er, look at it!" The emperor picked up one, and Xia Chu's face turned white at once.

At the beginning of the summer, he found out that his soldiers happened to be walking on the "Yue" grid of his father's "horse"!

"A little soldier, although crossing the river can reach the sky, but a little soldier is still a little soldier, hehe," the emperor stroked his long beard, he felt that there was no day happier than today.

Mu Junlan, don't let me down......

"The son's chess skills are not good, if you make your father angry, please punish the son!" Xia Chu directly half-knelt down.

"No—" The emperor was about to say something, when a cat suddenly popped in from outside the palace gate!

Meow –

The cat jumped on the chessboard, and when he didn't see it doing anything else, he picked up the two chess pieces "general" and "handsome", and ran around.

"Damn! Where did the wildcats come from! "The emperor was furious, and his good mood was disturbed by a cat!

"Someone!" He shouted angrily, "Drag this cat down and cut it down!" ”

"Huh——? Xiaobai! There was a soft cry from outside the door, and the guards couldn't stop it, so it turned out that the little princess ran in.

"Your cat?!" The Emperor glared at her.

"Right...... I'm sorry..... Father ...... "The little princess trembled and knelt directly on the palace, "Daughter...... The daughter knows that she is wrong.... Can it not ...... Can you spare Xiaobai once ......"

The emperor knew that the Southern Dynasty had paid tribute to a purebred white cat, and his little daughter loved it very much, so she asked for it, but she didn't expect it......

"Forget it," the emperor looked at the little kitten trembling and whining in the little princess's arms, "you take care of it, don't make an example!" ”

"Thank you, Father!" The little princess kissed him a few times, "That daughter has retired." ”

"Little sister...... ...... chess," Xia Chu asked.

"Big brother, does he even have to grab two chess pieces from his pet?" The little princess snorted and squinted at him.

"No ......."

"Go down quickly, call someone to clean up," the emperor waved his hand.

He always felt that he was dazzled, and the cat's mouth was not like two chess pieces, but like his own head......
