Mu Chongyan is a cautious and cautious person, although he has already intended to put on the journey, but it still took two days on the way back to Xunyang.

On the day she stepped into Xunyang, Qin Huai lay in the carriage and looked at the scene outside, her heart almost jumped out, she had never liked this city so much as she did today, and she had never relied on it so much today.

Xunyang is still the same Xunyang as before, the dynasty has changed but has not changed its appearance, and it is still standing after a hundred years in the wind and rain.

The common people continued to live their daily lives in the spacious streets, and did not stop their lives because of the disappearance of any dignitary.

It seems that whether Qin Huai is life or death, honor or disgrace, for them, it is just a change in royal power. As time goes on, they don't take it to heart either.

Mu Chongyan sent her all the way to the Mu family's mansion, not the princess's mansion, and did not give any explanation for this matter.

Qin Huai understands that with her current situation, it is already pitiful for her to be able to return to Xunyang, let alone hope to return to the princess's mansion.

The imperial city in this majestic mansion is extremely exhausted, and it was given by her father not long after Mu Guanqing was enthroned, which not only shows Mu Guanqing's noble status above 10,000 people under one person, but also flaunts her extraordinary title of outstanding talent, which is enough to make her name resound in the three kingdoms and twelve parts.

The plaque of Mu Guanqing's mansion was written by his father himself, and the four golden characters are - do not let the eyebrows.

Since the founding of Tianyu, no adviser has been able to win this honor, which shows her father's favor for her.

Mu Guanqing's mansion is extremely luxurious and elegant, comparable to her princess's mansion.

Everyone in the mansion knows her identity, and this time when she sees her, she still wants to be treated like before, and she doesn't see the slightest hint of slackness, which also proves that Mu Guanqing has a good way and treats Qin Huai as she does on the outside.

It's just that Caixia from her original princess's mansion is still missing......

But those who can work hard, and what kind of rights they enjoy, they must do their best.

Qin Huai also arrived at Mu Mansion on the third day, and only then did he see Mu Guanqing, who was entangled in official business.

She always wears the gray-red official uniform, and there are almost no bells and whistles that a woman should have. On her head is a simple bright moon crown, she is always suitable for such a simple accessory, which is more atmospheric.

The dark pupils, the willow-like eyebrows, and the corners of the eyes and the tips of the eyebrows are all shrewd.

Her appearance is no worse than those beauties, but her beauty has the majesty of the royal family and the taste of power, her appearance does not make people feel scared, but wants people to get close to her, she has her own unique charm.

I saw Qingchi on the side holding a Run Hutchison pastry in his hand, which was one of Qin Huai's favorite pastries in Xunyang, and it was hard to believe that Mu Guanqing specially bought it for her.

"Your Excellency, I thought you would have such a distinguished guest as me in the mansion."

Qin Huai felt very kind when he saw her, and he was also a little grateful in his heart, and he couldn't help but joke.

Mu Guanqing changed into a shirt brought by Jiuyu on the spot, walked up to her and said with a smile.

"Naturally, I don't dare to forget, but a few days ago, Dali Temple lost a prisoner, and the steward was ready to conceal it, but he didn't escape my eyes."

Hearing this, Qin Huai hurriedly rushed forward to take the pastry, and couldn't help but be curious, "Dali Temple is under your jurisdiction, and they dare to cheat for personal gain?" ”

Mu Guanqing shook her head, as if this incident was also unexpected by her.

"It's just that everyone said that the prisoner disappeared out of thin air, so it did take a lot of thought."

Dali Temple will also disappear out of thin air?

For so many years, Dali Temple has been under the management of Mu Guanqing, and there are almost no loopholes, even if the son of an official commits a crime, they do not dare to make decisions and intercede. It is precisely because of this that the officials of the Criminal Department seem to be extremely incompetent.

How could such a thing suddenly happen now?

"Found it?"

"Can't escape from Xunyang." Mu Guanqing shook his head and only came to such a conclusion.

It seems to be tricky.

Qin Huai didn't ask any more, but pulled Mu Guanqing through a door, went around to the backyard, and stopped at the edge of a lotus pond.

In the past, when Qin Huai was in Mu Guanqing's mansion, he liked to sit by the lotus pond with her, watching the koi fish chasing and playing in the water in the pond, while talking about things in Xunyang City.

The difference is that Qin Huai mainly talks about interesting things and anecdotes, while Mu Guanqing talks about major events in the world. Although the two of them have different visions, they can always communicate with each other.

Now the two of them are still sitting by the lotus pond and tasting the pastries, but Qin Huai's mood is different, and both of them enjoy a moment of silence.

About half a pillar of incense, Mu Guanqing suddenly realized something.

"I didn't even ask you about it, but you cared about me first."

This sentence poked Qin Huai's sadness, she put down the pastry in her hand, and asked calmly, "What is the current situation in Yunzhou?" ”

In the past few days in Mu Guanqing's mansion, she has been recalling what happened in Yunzhou all the time.

I don't know what happened to Yan Xiangcheng after she left, whether the Bai family really made trouble, and whether the three bells I heard that day were related to my grandfather.

Mu Guanqing put down the teacup and avoided the heavy.

Yan Mo wrote a new manuscript of a book, which explained all the guilt of Yan Xiangcheng and the Bai family. This manuscript is passed on to almost everyone in Yunzhou, and it can be regarded as exposing the truth in different ways, and it also prevents the Bai family from coming to the door again. ”

That's fine, if Yan Mo is Mo Yan's matter can be spread, I'm afraid my uncle can also know Yan Mo's true thoughts, and how to pass on the position of city lord is probably still up for discussion.

"What about my grandfather?"

This is what Qin Huai is most concerned about.

Collecting the extra expression, Mu Guanqing said lightly: "You guessed it right, the poison of the toad is very toxic and difficult to eliminate." On the day you left Yunzhu, Old General Yan choked his breath. ”

Seeing that Qin Huai's face sank suddenly, Mu Guanqing couldn't bear to mention it, and then said.

However, that night, the Yan family also had a piece of music to be delivered to the palace. Yesterday, I asked someone to ask, it seems to be related to you, and it is the handwriting of General Yan before his death. ”

In fact, Qin Huai could probably guess the content of his grandfather's letter, which was nothing more than wanting to intercede for himself.

"As far as I know, Yan Xiangcheng has already had a plan, and he is also preparing to blame Yan Mo, and this matter has nothing to do with you. Moreover, Yan Luji has been oppressed by the Bai family for many years, and he has long been dissatisfied with her, if it weren't for you to wish him out of the sea of suffering, he would probably have to endure it for a lifetime. ”

Mu Guanqing seemed to have guessed Qin Huai's thoughts and had a different opinion on this matter.

"But I really didn't expect that she would kill herself when she said that she would kill herself."

She is still haunted by that incident, and every time she closes her eyes, it seems that she can still meet the blood and water all over the ground.

And Mu Guanqing, who was not strange, shrugged her shoulders, she would come out of Dali Temple with a bloody body almost every month.

"There are so many sinners in the prison who want to kill themselves, and there is nothing wrong with that. Bai's fate, she can see the bottom at a glance, what kind of person the old lady of the Bai family is, you haven't seen it, if you let her know that the Bai family broke into such a catastrophe, it is estimated that she was strangled to death by someone she just threw into the cell. ”

Qin Huai couldn't figure out how well-informed she was, how she had gained insight into all her plans in the first time, and how she could convey them to Yunzhou, thousands of miles away, within a few hours.

"From Yunzhou to Xunyang, it will take a day and a night at the earliest, how did you know my news so quickly, and let Chongyan pick me up."

Mu Guanqing didn't care, "From the day you went to Yunzhou, I sent informants to hide all over Yunzhou, although it was time-consuming and laborious to deliver messages, but my Mu family's informants could transmit messages through fireworks, weather, and flying eagles." And Mu Chongyan...... When Luo Nanqing confessed for the first time for the second daughter of the Yan family, he had already arrived in Yunzhou. ”

So that's what happened.

Qin Huai only knew that Mu Guanqing's power was leaning towards the government and the opposition, but he never asked her what kind of drastic means she had to dominate the court for so many years.

Now it seems that she really doesn't know much about her intelligence and strategy.

"Then these people ......"

There is a team of private soldiers in Mu Guanqing's mansion, which was promised by his father, mainly to protect her safety, so where did those other people come from?

Halfway through her words, Mu Guanqing grabbed another important point and added.

"I didn't let them move a few times, also because I wanted to give that Gu Baixiu next to you a chance to perform, but the Shura Sect ambushed the people in Yunzhou who wanted to wait for an opportunity to get close to you, and I have almost expelled them."

No wonder Gu Baixiu said that the Shura Sect would make a move, and they didn't do it for a long time, it turned out that Mu Guanqing was secretly protecting himself. The worries of the outside world have been eliminated, but even so, she has not won much success......

In this regard, Mu Guanqing also felt the same way.

"The main thing is that you are too poor, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to Yanfu for a walk, it's better if you come back earlier, and those people in Yunzhou can also make friends earlier and do something more meaningful."

Qin Huai muttered in his heart, how could it not be meaningful to take care of himself.

"The marriage of your third emperor brother has been decided, and it will be an auspicious day on the tenth day of the first month of next month. Until then, I will ask Your Majesty to have you as a witness to wash away the stigma you had before. ”

Mu Guanqing looked at the hour, stood up and put down the words and was about to leave.

"Can the Third Emperor Brother agree?" Qin Huai followed and got up, skeptical.

"You helped him get the crown prince like that before, just a marriage position, is he also stingy?"

Mu Guanqing ignored her self-humility and walked straight to the house.

Qin Huai didn't follow up again, but looked at the remaining pastries on the table, stretched out his hand to tie them up again, and prepared to bring them to Gu Baixiu after he went back.

After living in Mu Mansion, Gu Baixiu was naturally arranged to be in the same courtyard as Qin Huai, and I don't know if Mu Guanqing saw that she was not in good spirits and deliberately put a beautiful man over, or if Mu Guanqing felt that she was originally through the sky, and she had already taken down this immortal who did not eat fireworks in the world.

She has always done whatever she wants in Mu Mansion, Mu Guanqing always turns a blind eye, and now although she does not restrict Qin Huai's travel, Qin Huai really does not dare to go to the street easily, let alone easily approach the princess's mansion in casual clothes.
