Chapter 2 Entering the Palace

"Since I am accompanying you, the emperor also sent two teams of attendants and maidservants as your princess's honor guard this time, not many people in Dongzhao know me, I pretend to be an attendant, so I can act in secret." Mu Xiu said his arrangement leisurely, as if he was saying something normal.

And Mu Yunyi, who has always been reluctant to show her emotions, has a trace of emotion in her eyes, how can it be fleeting, so that Mu Xiu has no time to confirm whether that trace of emotion is her own dazzle, because for herself, "being by her side" has long become a part of her life.

Since she was a child, Mu Yunyi has been accustomed to being indifferent and ruthless as her own armor, especially after learning that her father was missing and her younger brother was captured a month ago, she forced herself to calm down, she knew that she was not qualified to play a weak person who lost her father and younger brother, looking at the entire West Dome, she could only rely on herself to find and rescue, and there was still the entire Prince Shun's Mansion behind her to support.

And Mu Xiu's words did give her a lot of shock and warmth in her heart, and she realized that she had been accustomed to Mu Xiu by her side for many years, taking care of everything for him, and giving her wordless support and companionship.

"Well, there's one more thing you need to do."

"You mean, Meng Li's whereabouts?" Mu Xiu knew that what Mu Yunyi was most worried about at the moment was how to treat his unconscious younger brother.

Mu Yunyi nodded, and said worriedly: "Yun Duo is unconscious, the doctors in the army are helpless, the imperial doctor sent by the emperor is just for show, let alone believe it, he should have been poisoned by some kind of strange poison, it seems that only Meng Li has a way." It's just that I sent someone to Meng Li's Ukiyo Zhai to look for him, and he was really not there, and the maidservants said that their master had been out of the house for more than a few months, and he didn't know where he was now. ”

"I have sent someone to inquire secretly before I came, and I just got the news that he appeared in the streets and alleys of the Dongzhao Kingdom half a month ago."

"It's so good, if he is really there, it seems that this Dongzhao is really worth visiting."

Mu Yunyi set off for the east early the next morning with the attendants and maidservants personally appointed by the emperor to accompany her into Dongzhao, and the soldiers she brought were ordered to return to the court immediately. Mu Yunyi was not surprised by this, the emperor asked her to go to An'an to be a proton, how could she let her let her be by her side, not to mention that she was still a skilled prince's soldier. However, this move also corresponds to Mu Yunyi's thoughts, only if he is very deferential, both Xiqiong and Dongzhao can let down their guard a little, and they can act better.

This time to return to Dongzhao is not like the previous rescue of Mu Yunduo when the fast horse, day and night, Du Yunmo took a carriage, the honor guard walked for more than half a month before arriving at the capital of Dongzhao. When Fang arrived outside the city gate, there was a messenger to lead, but after entering the city, Mu Yunyi was taken to the official post by the envoy instead of entering the palace directly.

"Princess Anhe must be very tired from the long journey, my emperor is sympathetic, and says that you don't have to rush into the palace, and you will make arrangements after resting for a few days." The messenger spoke, and his tone was polite.

This "rest for a few days" is very subtle, so it is to avoid it, Mu Yunyi is clear, and it sounds better, he is here to discuss matters on behalf of the West Dome State, but in fact, he is just here to seek peace, and it is normal for the other party to have a shelf, not to mention that the West Dome and Dongzhao have a hundred years of grudges, and it is the beginning of the war, Mu Yunyi did not hope that he could meet smoothly.

After a polite exchange with the envoy, and asked him to bring a message of thanks, Mu Yunyi lived peacefully in the post house, and Emperor Dongzhao didn't mention it, and she didn't ask. The left and right sides of this post house must be guarded by people sent by Emperor Dongzhao, although it is difficult to move, but it also ensures the safety of her and Mu Yunduo. It's rare that she has more time to take care of her younger brother every day, and Dongzhao will never let Lai Lai have any problems at this time to be labeled.

This stay was several days, and it was not until the evening of the seventh day that someone came to the Dongzhao Palace to deliver a decree, and it was rumored that Xiqiongan and the princess would meet early the next morning.

In the early morning of this day, Dongzhao's palace people waited outside the post house early in the morning, except for Mu Yunyi, the rest of the attendants and maids of Xiqiong were not allowed to enter the palace together, she secretly glanced at Mu Xiu standing in the crowd to signal him to feel at ease, and followed Dongzhao's palace people into the palace.

When he came to the palace gate, Mu Yunyi got out of the carriage and followed his father-in-law into this strange palace. The architectural style of the Dongzhao Imperial Palace is very different from the West Dome, the palace of the West Dome is magnificent, the layout is rigorous, the eaves are towering, and the palace is accustomed to using thick and steady lacquer color, the palace has many high platforms and extremely thick carved pilasters to show the nobility of the heavenly family, which makes people feel awe. The Dongzhao Imperial Palace seems to be more focused on the details, the color is mostly bright yellow and red gold, the eaves of the palace are gentle, the four wings are stretched, and there are many different carvings and painted embellishments, magnificent but not lose vitality. About half a pillar of incense, she came to the Xuanming Hall of the Dongzhao Emperor, the palace people went in to report, she tidied up her appearance a little and heard the voice inside: "Xuanxi Qiong'an and the princess are here!" ”

A few days ago, he ate a closed door soup was nothing at all, and Mu Yunyi knew that from the moment he stepped into the Xuanming Palace, the storm and thunderstorm really began. She folded her hands in front of her abdomen, half-hidden in her sleeves, and walked into the hall with her head held high. Her eyes closed on the floor tiles in front of her, and walked forward steadily step by step, although Mu Yunyi grew up and practiced in the military camp, but since she was born, she was raised by the side of the queen mother, and her palace rules and etiquette and royal demeanor will not be the slightest mistake, although now the world of the West Dome is in the hands of Mu Ling, but in other countries, she has the blood of the West Dome, and this system and dignity must not be lost.

Facing the different eyes of the civil and military courtiers in the palace, he did not react, these eyes were contemptuous, mocking, and hateful, but more of an inquiry, Mu Yunyi was wearing an ivory white auspicious cloud pattern robe at this time, covered with a light golden tulle, which was a palace dress regulated by the West Dome, plain but solemn, the long black and slippery hair was pulled into a bun with the clouds, and there was no other embellishment except for a hollow point green phoenix hairpin between the hair, Mu Yunyi never liked cumbersome palace women's makeup, but her royal temperament was natural, and her face was beautiful and three-dimensional, Although Meiyu's eyes are a little cold, they are even more extraordinary.

It wasn't until she walked to the front row and stopped, that she keenly felt that in the column of generals on the left, there was a beam of eyes that were different from those of others staring at her fixedly, as if she was also waiting for herself to give that person some response.

Mu Yunyi didn't seem to notice it, raised his head and bowed, put his hands together in front of his chest, and said to the Dongzhao Emperor Dongling Xun on the gilded dragon throne: "Xiqiong Guoan and Princess Mu Yunyi visit Emperor Dongzhao, may the emperor's holy body be healthy and the Dongzhao country prosperous." ”
