Qianying searched all over the harem of the Northern Dynasty but couldn't find Xia Man, and when he was about to sneak into Mu Hanchuan's dormitory, he was discovered by his secret guards and fought, and for a while, the guards were alarmed and surrounded one after another.

Rao is martial arts are good, but in the face of so many guards, Qianying still fell behind and was gradually forced into a corner.

"My harem is a place where you can come and go whenever you want." Under the heavy protection of the guards, Mu Hanchuan stepped out of the dormitory, stood on the steps, and looked at Qianying condescendingly.

"As the emperor of a country, you are not ashamed to do some dirty things." Qianying held the abacus in a state of resistance, and did not forget to ridicule Mu Hanchuan in his mouth.

"Dirty? Wouldn't it be even more shameless for you to get involved with the woman of the Lord and still have a secret knot? After Mu Hanchuan finished speaking, he looked at Qianying, he wanted to see that what Xia Man said was true.

Hearing this, Qianying was surprised for a moment, and then reacted, and continued: "Mutual affection is the right way, no matter what secular ethics he has." ”

"It's shameless." Mu Hanchuan had contempt in his eyes, and raised his hand to signal to the guards around him, he was sure to capture Qianying alive.

said that it was too late, that was fast, Qianying turned the abacus, and a silver needle went straight towards Mu Hanchuan, Rao is guard beside him was fast-eyed, and he couldn't stop it, seeing that the silver needle didn't enter Mu Hanchuan's arm, in a moment, Mu Hanchuan fainted to the ground, for a while, the guard was distracted, Qianying took the opportunity to tap his toes, turned around, and when he left, he didn't forget to mock two sentences.

"Today's luck is not good, you brought the wrong needle, count your fate, see you another day!"

Mu Handong, who came to hear the news, disposed of the poorly protected guards, looked at Mu Hanchuan, who was still unconscious on the couch, and forced the imperial doctor on the side, "Since it's okay, why hasn't the emperor woken up yet!"

"Or maybe the drug on the silver needle is a little heavier, and you should wake up before the sun goes down when you take the antidote."

After the imperial doctor returned truthfully, he was urged by Mu Handong to dispense medicine, and then summoned Mu Hanyan.

"I told you not to touch that woman before, why didn't you listen?" Mu Handong looked at Mu Hanyan, who had just entered the hall, and counted them.

Mu Hanyan pouted, she was most afraid of this second brother, and she didn't dare to reply, so she only moved to the front of the couch in small steps and asked in a low voice, "Is the eldest brother okay?" ”

"This time it's a lost needle, and next time it's a poisonous needle." Mu Handong has dealt with Xiao Mo for many years, and he also knows his temperament, this time the eldest brother and the third sister's actions are really inappropriate, if this matter is not handled well, it will be a disaster.

Seeing Mu Handong's expression, Mu Hanyan consciously shrank in the corner of the couch, and just as the palace maid brought in the decoction, she hurriedly grabbed it and fed it to the people on the couch spoonful, so that her ears were a little quieter.

"Take care of Big Brother." Mu Handong finished speaking, and walked away.

Looking at Mu Handong's distant back, Mu Hanyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Handong walked out of Beichen Palace, rode directly to Qin's mansion, and soon saw Qin Siya.

"Is there something important for the prince to come to the mansion?" Qin Siya served tea and welcomed Mu Handong to the upper seat.

"Xia Man is trapped in the Northern Dynasty." Mu Handong's short sentence made Qin Siya's face show a look of surprise.

"Is it the emperor?"

"Well, it's mostly for Peng Cheng."

Pengcheng was originally an enclave of the Northern Dynasties, because it was located in the hinterland of the Southern Dynasties, it was controlled by the Southern Dynasties for many years, although the place was small, but the place was rich in well salt, so it was very rich, Mu Hanchuan had been trying to recover this place since he ascended the throne, but the geographical location was unique, and it was not successful, this time most likely wanted to exchange Pengcheng with Xia Man.

"It's a problem that affects the whole body." Qin Siya couldn't help but clench the jade pendant on his waist, for fear that if he was not careful, the two dynasties would fight again, affecting the people.

"I can persuade the imperial brother to let Xia Man go, and Emperor Jiahe will ......" Mu Handong looked at Qin Siya, a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry, Lord Wang, Qianying still owes me a favor, I will immediately ask him to help mediate."

After speaking, the two went their separate ways, Mu Handong went to Beichen Palace to torture the palace people to find out where Xia Man was trapped, and Qin Siya began to contact Qianying.

Until nightfall, Mu Handong still found nothing, thinking about it, he guessed that Xia Man might be in Beichen Palace, so he began to search carefully, and on the other side, Qin Siya quickly saw him through the contact signal given by Qianying before.

The two of them were in an inconspicuous tavern, and at that time, sitting opposite each other, Qin Siya took the lead in pouring a glass of wine for Qianying, and said: "I ascended the throne at a young age, and it was when I was in high spirits, so I was more paranoid in doing things, please bear with me." ”

Qianying played with the Red Gold Beast Mask, which was a token given to him when he borrowed the Blood Jade Bead from Qin Siya, and agreed to fulfill one of his wishes when he saw this object, "Do you want me to intercede with my senior brother, don't let the two dynasties fight again for this matter?"

Qin Siya smiled and said, "Exactly." ”

"I can intercede, but ......" Qianying glanced at Qin Siya, put away the Red Gold Beast mask, and then continued: "There has always been a war between the two dynasties, this time, not only for Xia Man, but also for the question of Pengcheng's belonging, whether he is willing to listen to me or not, it is difficult to say." ”

"Please give it a try." Qin Siya made a gesture towards Qianying.

"As soon as the Red Gold Beast Mask comes out, how can I not fulfill your wish."

The next day, Qianying galloped away, the situation in the Southern Dynasty was already stable, Xiao Mo led Zhou Chang to exterminate all the remnants of Xiao Huai and the Liu clan, and demoted Xiao Huai to a concubine and sent it to Lincang Prefecture.

In the Xuanlin Palace, after Xiao Mo covered the holy decree of exile from Xiao Huai with a jade seal, he ticked his name in the list of clans.

On the side, Zhou Jinge served lotus seed porridge and said softly: "The emperor is too tired these days, so he needs to cultivate more." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Mo rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "How is the Zhang family's investigation?" ”

"The concubine has found out that the Zhang family colluded with the guards to collude with the princess of the Northern Dynasty and drug Concubine Heng, and then was smuggled out of the palace." Since Feng Ruoqing relayed Xiao Yun's words to Zhou Jinge, the two felt that the matter was very important, and hurriedly reported it to Xiao Mo, and then began to investigate thoroughly.

Xiao Mo couldn't see any emotion on his face, so he only said lightly: "First confine the Zhang family and her granddaughter in the Silent Pavilion, and all the guards who have come into contact with them will be imprisoned." ”

However, in an hour, most of the guards in the harem changed, and the Zhang family, who was locked up in the Silent Pavilion, did not realize his situation, and still shouted and scolded arrogantly.

"I'm the inner court aunt of the imperial seal, who gave you the guts to lock me up......"

Feng Ruoqing happened to pass by with Ye Wanli, and when she heard the movement in the Silent Pavilion, she called the guards guarding and said, "Later, when she is thirsty and asks for water, you will pretend not to hear." ”

The guards didn't dare to disobey, and Rao was motionless no matter how Zhang threatened and insulted.

Out of the palace road, on the path of the secluded path, seeing that there was no one around, Ye Wanli pulled Feng Ruoqing's sleeve and asked, "My sister has never been a person who fell into the well, why don't you let the guards give Zhang's water to drink?"

"She relied on the emperor's grace, and gave the six palaces a lot of face in the open, but now, the palace is only slightly punished, besides, she has no future." Feng Ruoqing looked in the direction of Xuanlin Palace, and there was some confusion in her eyes.

"Will the emperor really execute the Zhang family?" Ye Wanli asked.

Feng Ruoqing smiled and said, "Taking people from the harem of the Son of Heaven has already offended Tianwei, how can the Zhang family have a way to live." ”

A cold wind blew, Ye Wanli shivered, couldn't help but tuck his coat, and then said, "Sister, let's go back to the palace quickly." ”

The major affairs of the harem of the previous dynasty have been decided, Xiao Mo ordered Zhou Chang, Ye Bozhang and other ministers to handle government affairs in the court, and he took the cloud soul and rain spirit to the border between the two dynasties to meet with Qianying.

In the Beichen Palace, Mu Handong had already found the secret room, and after retiring from the palace, he saw Xia Man.

Xia Man heard the sound and saw that the person who came was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Mu Hanchuan, so he tentatively said, "Are you Mu Handong?"

"Not bad." Mu Handong approached Xia Man and said, "This king can let you go back, but you also have to promise this king a condition." ”

"What conditions, let's hear about it." Xia Man leaned against the corner, a little careless.

"Persuade Xiao Mo to return Pengcheng, and the two dynasties will never offend each other." Mu Handong put his hands behind his back, and his words were dignified.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have been shocked by this momentum, but Xia Man smiled, and said: "National affairs, there are two dynasties of kings negotiating, I am a woman, but I don't have that ability, besides, have you ever seen a monarch who would compromise for a woman, and fighting for every inch of land is the royal way." ”

Mu Handong was stunned, then looked at Xia Man again, and seemed to understand a little, why this woman who had neither the color of the city nor the wonderful posture would be favored by Xiao Mo.

"That's it, this king will let you go, I hope you will persuade Xiao Mo not to move his troops." Saying that, Mu Handong took off the jade plate around his waist, put it on the couch in front of Xia Man, and said: "With this jade card, you can walk freely in the territory of the Northern Dynasty." ”

Xia Man put away the jade card, yawned, and lay down lazily, saying: "Xia Man has received the prince's kindness, but he has been very tired recently, and it is really difficult to move." ”

"You ......" Mu Handong was depressed in one breath, and it was difficult to have a seizure, so he reprimanded: "If you don't leave, return the jade card to me." ”

This jade card is one of the three brothers and sisters of the Mu family, not only a symbol of status, but also a gift from the emperor, Mu Handong cherishes it very much, and wants to show his sincerity in this way, but he didn't expect Xia Man to do the opposite, this move really made Mu Handong angry, but then Xia Man's words made him even more ashamed and annoyed.

"If you want to get the jade plate back, you can get it yourself."

Xia Man got the jade medal and put it in his arms, thinking that Mu Handong could not take it directly, so he closed his eyes unscrupulously and began to take a nap.

Mu Handong is more than thirty years old, although he is a prince, but he has no wife and concubine, where can he hear this, his face and neck are red for a while, and he can only throw up his sleeves and stride away.
