When she got up the next morning, Murong Hui had already forgotten about giving Mama Zhang a hundred taels of silver.

After dressing up, she went to the study to read as usual, and happened to see Murong An and Murong Ning walking towards her.

Both of them stared at the dark circles under their eyes, obviously they didn't sleep well last night, and they looked wilted.

Murong Ning said hello when he saw her, and Murong An snorted with his nose, obviously not angry because of yesterday's incident.

Murong Hui didn't care, and after walking straight into the upper study, he felt that there were half fewer people in the upper study.

She looked at Gao Ziyue and Xu Qing suspiciously, and when she saw that the two of them had come early, she wanted to ask them about the situation.

"I heard that they are all sick, and I haven't heard of any plague in the capital recently, I really don't know what's going on."

Gao Ziyue's voice was not small, and it reached everyone's ears, and everyone had different reactions.

"Gao Ziyue, what do you mean by this, saying these unlucky gains, could it be that you are cursing others?"

The noble lady on the side was immediately angry, and her cousin had not come over recently, so this sound made her feel a little harsh.

"I said what about others, what are you excited about, is it possible that you have relatives among them? Since she has taken leave, why didn't she know about you? ”

Gao Ziyue waited for her to say this, and when she heard her say this, she immediately ridiculed her.

The girl's face suddenly turned red and white for a while, and she muttered for a long time: "I'm not sick, so naturally I don't have to ask for leave." ”

"It's strange that this disease came, it was still alive yesterday, and recently I couldn't even go to school because I was sick, isn't it a plague?"

At this time, the person who had already been at odds with the noble girl on the side naturally used this stubble to sarcastically say.

The noble girl's face was flushed with anger, but she had to endure it, no matter what she said, others had something to say for her.

After a whole day of classes, Murong Hui walked to the imperial garden with some annoyance, and before he knew it, he walked to the place where he was playing chess with Zhao Yu.

saw that Zhao Yu was still sitting in the pavilion playing chess, and when he saw her coming, he hurriedly got up and saluted with a smile.

"Your Highness, there are some things that don't need to be bothered, and there are solutions to them."

Zhao Yu is the son of a scholar, and naturally has many connections in the family.

Although I don't know much about Murong Jun, I always know much more than Murong Hui.

Just now, his father sent him a message, saying that the queen mother had her own decision, and let him protect the two princes when necessary, which could be regarded as their Zhao family's loyalty to the emperor.

Therefore, he knew that the situation was not to the extent that it could not be reversed, but it would be a little thrilling.

Murong Hui stared at him for a moment, and for some reason she suddenly felt that the panic in her heart had calmed down a lot.

"Play a game of chess with me."

However, she couldn't calm down after all, and didn't want to stay alone in the palace by herself, so she took advantage of the game to chat with Zhao Yu more.

A game of chess was played for half an hour, and it was not until Mama Huang urged Murong Hui to go back to dinner that Murong Hui had to get up and go back to the palace.

"Your Highness, this is for you to play with."

Zhao Yu said, and handed a bracelet to Murong Hui.

Murong Hui couldn't help but be stunned, but she watched Zhao Yu take off the bracelet from her wrist.

According to the rules, she definitely can't accept this thing, and she has to scold Zhao Yu for being a disciple.

But just because this person is Zhao Yu, the two are too familiar, so although Murong Hui was a little stunned, he didn't scold.

"This bracelet is a mechanism, as long as you twist here, a poisonous needle will protrude from the mouth of the white crane, this needle can only make people faint, not fatal."

Zhao Yu stepped forward, pointed to the pale gold bracelet, and explained to Murong Hui.

Murong Hui couldn't help but be stunned, she didn't know that there was a kind of mechanism hidden in the delicate bracelet like this.

"I can't ask for this thing, it will only be more dangerous for you to stay by An'er's side, I'm just a princess, I don't pose a threat to those people, even if the palace is really attacked, I won't be in too much danger."

Murong Hui hurriedly shook her head, a look of emotion appeared on her face, such a thing was expensive at a glance, and Zhao Yu was willing to use it for herself, which showed that Zhao Yu really cared about her safety.

There are really not many people in this palace who care about her safety.

"Your Highness, don't worry, I brought several of these bracelets into the palace, and this one is specially for you."

Seeing the bracelet stuffed into his hand, Murong Hui couldn't help but smile, this bracelet still has temperature on it.

If he really planned to give it to Murong Hui, he would definitely not wear it himself.

After speaking, without waiting for Murong Hui's reaction, Zhao Yu saluted and ran away in a hurry, as if he was afraid that Murong Hui would refuse.

"Your Highness, this thing can indeed save your life at a critical moment, so you better keep it."

At this time, the palace people on the side also reminded in a whisper.

Murong Hui put the bracelet in her pocket, carefully thinking about what Zhao Yu said just now, and always felt that Zhao Yu deliberately stayed here to wait for her, just to let her know this.

After returning to the east side hall for dinner, Murong Hui returned to the dormitory and sat at the table looking at the bracelet.

Mama Huang couldn't help frowning when she saw the bracelet, but she knew what this thing was for, so she didn't say anything.

"Your Highness, the old slave still wants to persuade you, you shouldn't ...... is so close to Zhao Gongzi, so as not to be criticized. ”

Mama Zhang really couldn't help it, and reminded Murong Hui in a low voice.

"I know that I will keep my distance from him in the future."

Putting the bracelet on her wrist, Murong Hui couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she naturally knew that men and women were seven years old, so she had to restrain her behavior.

"Is there any news from my aunt recently?"

Murong Hui suddenly remembered that she had asked Mama Huang to send someone to inquire about the news from the palace.

"Recently, for some reason, I haven't been able to find out any news, it seems that the queen mother deliberately blocked the news."

Mama Huang was also confused, it was easy to inquire about the palace yesterday.

I don't know what's going on recently, the news on the side of the palace is tightly blocked, and the palace people in the palace seem to have been beaten, and they are all like gourds with sawed mouths, and they can't find out the slightest news.

"Only my aunt can do it to such an extent, so that no one needs to ask."

Murong Hui immediately figured out that Lin Yingxue didn't want to leak the affairs of the palace, so she simply didn't let people inquire.

Mama Huang nodded, and showed all the expenses and accounts in the palace to Murong Hui for a look.

Murong Hui patiently read the account book, only to find that the day after the envoy's arrival was the day after tomorrow.

She hurriedly asked Mama Huang if the banquet for entertaining the envoys was ready.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the menu for the banquet envoys has been drawn up, and the old slave has taken a look at it, and it is quite decent."

At this time, Mama Zhang answered and hurriedly said.

"In this case, this matter will be handed over to you to keep an eye on, now that the emperor and queen are not in the palace, they may not be able to live in the event of an accident, so we must ensure that there is no trace of mistake."

Murong Hui sighed, closed the ledger, and said helplessly.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the old slave will definitely keep an eye on those people in the imperial dining room and ensure that there will be no mistakes in the dishes."

Mama Zhang's face was serious, and now there are enough rumors in the palace.

I think that after those envoys enter Beijing, they will also know a thing or two, and they will inevitably have doubts in their hearts at that time.

I'm afraid that these news will spread to several other powerful countries outside of Rong Guo, these guys will definitely wait for Rong to have internal turmoil, so they can take the opportunity to attack Rong Guo.

Murong Hui saw that the matter had almost been explained, so he invited both of them out, and lay on the bed alone and fiddled with the bracelet given by Zhao Yu.

She thought for a moment and hurriedly pulled her sleeve down, for fear that someone would see the bracelet on her wrist.

However, when she went to the study on the second day, she found that no one had noticed what she had in her hand, and no one else was in the mood to listen to the lecture, but sat wilted in her place as if she were sitting on pins and needles.

Murong Hui was puzzled in her heart, she suddenly found that since Qingyue was injured and rested, her news was not as well-informed as before.

It seems that there is a lot of news that everyone else knows, and she is the last one to know.

In fact, it was not Qingyue's problem, but Mama Huang, who was afraid that Murong Hui would be worried if she knew too many things, so she deliberately concealed the news and did not let her know.

After a full day of classes, Murong Hui wanted to ask Gao Ziyue and Xu Qing what was going on.

However, before she could ask, she suddenly saw a holy decree placed in the tray on the table.

"Your Royal Highness, the grandmother next to your queen mother came to pass on the decree, so that you are optimistic about the eldest prince and the second prince in the near future. The emperor and queen are going to worship the sky and pray for rain in the near future, and they don't want any trouble with the two highnesses. ”

Seeing that Murong Hui opened the holy decree, Mama Huang came over and said.

She didn't know if Murong Hui could understand, she felt confused.

It was supposed to bring the two princes to worship the heavens and pray for rain, but they wanted them to stay in the palace, and they deliberately issued a holy decree to let Murong Hui look at them, and they felt that this matter was weird.

"Sacrificing to the sky and praying for rain, it seems that it can't be supported."

After putting down the holy decree, Murong Hui couldn't help but sigh, if that stand-in couldn't carry it, they would have to be ready to face the storm.

"When is the day to pray for rain?"

Sitting at the table, he took the tea handed over by Qingyue, and asked Mama Huang.

Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Mama Huang had to hang her head and say, "It's set for the fourth day of next month." ”

"There are still seven days to go, and I don't know if my aunt can come up with a countermeasure."

Murong Hui couldn't intervene in such a thing at all, so he had to stare dryly from the side.

Even if this matter involved the fate of all of them, this sense of powerlessness made Murong Hui's mood a little decadent.

"Your Highness, I have recently heard from people that many rich and noble families who originally lived in Beijing have fled to other provinces."

At this time, Qingyue on the side suddenly spoke, and as soon as she finished speaking, she was scolded by Mama Huang, and she knew these things before Qingyue.

It's just that even if Murong Hui knew about it, she was just worried in vain, so why let her know?
