The person who spoke was Luo Yunxi, who walked in at some point.

Yan Xin sat up from the bed in surprise, thinking that Fourteen said that he couldn't get out of the Qiang affairs recently, and couldn't help asking, "Why are you here?" ”

Luo Yunxi had already returned to his usual attire at this time, with a jade crown and a dark robe, which was rare and unassuming.

"The convoy will leave in the afternoon, and I have already found a Qiang merchant to escort those gifts on my behalf, anyway, in the eyes of your Tianyu people, those envoys of the Qiang tribe are not much different."

Yan Xin couldn't refute his point of view, so he could only take a deep breath and remain silent.

The two were silent for a while, Luo Yunxi squeezed his hand, and then gave Lu Mang a look, and Lu Mang could only leave the house with interest.

Yan Xin didn't stop him, he just wanted to see what he was going to do.

It wasn't until the door was closed again that Luo Yunxi walked around to her bedside, gently rubbed her hair, and asked softly, "Are your injuries okay?" ”

"I thought Fourteen would tell you." Yan Xin said indifferently.

"It's really that the handover between the Qiang tribe and the household department is too frequent, in order not to arouse suspicion from others, I can't be by your side these days."

In fact, Yan Xin didn't blame him for his non-appearance, after all, the current situation is not ordinary, and there is no harm in being careful, but Luo Yunxi thought that she was angry with Luan'er because she was not good at protecting him.

She didn't want Luo Yunxi to blame herself for being sad, so she quickly explained her current emotions: "It's good that Fourteen can figure it out about this matter, now is not the time to be sad, I know how to deal with it." ”

"After all, he is still a secret guard, and the first lesson of the secret guard is to teach him how to eliminate feelings, you don't have to worry about him."

This is reasonable, Fourteen is his bodyguard, he knows how to guide, and he is indeed a feast.

After pondering for a moment, Yan Xin thought of what Luo Yunxi said when he entered the door, and immediately asked, "By the way, you just said that Qin Xuanlang questioned Qin Huai's identity?" ”

Yan Xin could guess that Qin Xuanlang did this because he saw the content on the mountain and river scroll, so he doubted Qin Huai's life experience, but Yan Xin didn't expect that he would target Qin Huai at this time, this matter happened too quickly, Qin Xuanlang neither took the time to find out the truth, nor did His Majesty beforehand, but directly stabbed this matter away.

There is only one possibility, that is, he doesn't care about the truth at all, he just wants to convict Qin Huai.

"But this is not good for him, Qin Huai is a woman after all, although his temperament is uninhibited, he will not be Qin Xuanlang's ......"

Yan Xin asked and answered himself, and he couldn't understand why Qin Xuanlang took great pains to target Qin Huai during this critical period.

"Tempting you, perhaps? Qin Huai helped the third prince that day, and he suspected that you instructed him? Luo Yunxi boldly guessed.

"I don't rule it out."

He and Qin Huai are indeed getting closer, and it is possible to arouse Qin Xuanlang's suspicions, and Qin Xuanlang has always looked at Qin Huai unpleasantly, maybe he just used this incident to suppress her arrogance.

But she still couldn't rest assured, if Qin Huaizhen was disposed of because of this matter, Yanxin would be the initiator......

She shook her head, letting herself not think about it for a while, and then asked, "Did Mu Guanqing really return to Beijing?" ”

Luo Yunxi didn't dare to assume, since he told her that it was a sure fact. "I heard the news that she is going to interrogate Yan Jiujing in person."

"It's a good thing, I really don't know how to meet her, this is a good opportunity." Yan Xin finally smiled, and this was the first thing that made her happy so far.

Now that His Majesty has relented and is willing to send troops to the Ashan Ministry, the plan after the banquet is also on the agenda, and Mu Guanqing may be a good starting point.

Luo Yunxi could expect what Yan Xin was thinking, "You want to know why she came back at this time?" ”

"I want to know how she's going to stand in line."

"But anyone who understands will choose the second prince at this time."

Luo Yunxi's words do make sense, now that the second prince has received the support of most people in the court, and the Liu family has also defected on the surface, it is perfect to put the icing on the cake at this time.

But according to Yan Xin's understanding of Mu Guanqing in her previous life, she is not the kind of person who follows the crowd, she will always have a new angle when thinking about problems, and the icing on the cake is not her way of being an official.

"She is not an ordinary person, if she had to change her mind and choose the second prince, she would not have returned to the city at such an obvious time."

Yanxin lifted the brocade quilt and walked to the edge of the wardrobe alone to choose the clothes that Mu Guanqing should wear.

"You're going to prison?"

Luo Yunxi then stood up and walked to her side, her eyes following her hand across the dresses.

"It's been three days, and it's time to find a chance to forgive Qin Xuanlang."

……

Indeed, the prison of Xunyang City is much more magnificent than Lanzhou City, otherwise how can it be said that it is used in Kyoto.

The carriage and horse of the banquet stopped steadily at the gate of the prison in the capital, and she looked at the towering and gloomy building with a smile.

The guard looked embarrassed, and persuaded him with good words: "Miss Liu, you can't go in without the approval of the Criminal Department, so don't embarrass the villain." ”

Yan Xin was determined to see Mu Guanqing, so naturally it was impossible to leave easily, she said with a smile: "What you mean is that if I come to see Yan Jiujing, then I can't let it go without approval." ”

"Exactly." The guard replied categorically.

"It's a pity that it's not, I'm here to support Lady Mu, please give me a good word."

After seeing Yan Jiujing, she asked for approval, and seeing that Mu Guanqing didn't need it, she could pretend to be placed, what is wrong with the nobles in Kyoto interacting with each other, it's just that they have changed places recently.

"This ......"

Seeing that Miss Liu was like eating a scale, the guard didn't know how to refuse, but he didn't answer.

At this time, Lu Mang couldn't stand it, and then threatened.

"My young lady has just been stabbed by Ashanbu, and her body is still weak, in case you get cold...... Are you waiting for the Captain to punish him? ”

"The little ones are going!"

Sure enough, the identity of this lieutenant is easy to use, and it can be regarded as unimpeded in the capital.

"Miss, will this lady really meet us?"

Lu Mang listened to Yan Xin's comments on this female official along the way, and thought that this female official has a noble status and time is like gold, why spend time meeting the two of them who don't want to do it.

Mu Guanqing is also a legend of Tianyu, she has created a precedent for women to be officials since the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, both in terms of talent and insight are higher than ordinary people, so His Majesty will value her so much, not only opened a new control for her, but also allowed her to lead the six departments.

Fortunately, this Lord Mu didn't save Liu Yanxin's face, and still invited them to sit in the prison, which was really very polite.

Follow the guard into the dungeon, this place is indeed much colder than outside, there are basically some voices on the first floor, this layer of the dungeon goes down, one layer is quieter than the other, and when he walked to the third floor, Yan Xin finally saw this female official.

The two of them had also met before, and under the gaze of hundreds of courtiers, Mu Guanqing, as a witness to her and Qin Xuanlang's wedding, personally handed over the phoenix seal to her.

At this moment, Mu Guanqing was sitting in the center of the three floors drinking tea, and on the left was a bloody torture table, and the entire corridor was filled with the smell of blood, which was disgustingly strong.

Fortunately, Yan Xin had seen a lot of such blood on the battlefield in his previous life, and now he is back in front of him, and he is more surprised than afraid.

Yanxin barely covered her mouth and nose, and approached Mu Guanqing's back step by step, but she was still drinking tea without raising her head, thinking that Yanxin's appearance was like the blood flowing around, and it couldn't enter her eyes.

"Liu Yanxin, the daughter of General Huaihua, has seen adults."

Yan Xin bowed slightly, not at all intimidated by seeing such a scene.

"I've heard of you, sit down." Her tone was light, but there was undeniable majesty in her words.

She didn't ask why she came, but invited her to sit down and drink tea.

Walking in front of her, Yan Xin noticed that she did not wear men's clothes because she was an official in the court, but had exquisite makeup and luxurious clothes.

"Such a strong smell of blood, I'm afraid it will ruin the charm of this good tea." Yanxin put the cup close to his nose and sniffed, noncommittal.

This time, Mu Guanqing raised her head and pulled out a smile.

"I don't like to drink tea, it's just to quench my thirst."

Seeing her face today, Yan Xin couldn't help but be surprised, this woman's dark eyes, willow-like eyebrows, and the corners of her eyes and 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 heard that the female official is going to interrogate Yan Jiujing in person today, and I have confronted her several times in Lanzhou City, I'm afraid I can help you."

Yan Xin put down the cup and tried to look as neutral as possible.

But Mu Guanqing didn't thank her, but said her purpose: "No need, I've already asked what I should know, and Miss Liu can also explain today's intention." ”

Yanxin likes to talk to smart people, and she also knows that Mu Guanqing doesn't like to waste time on meaningless things.

"If you are as smart as you, then I won't go around in circles, I came here today to ask you if you prefer to inherit the throne for the prince."

"Miss Liu, you are really as bold as the rumors, and you dare to openly discuss the government in front of me, so you are not afraid that someone with a heart will listen to you and sue you in front of the emperor?"

Hearing this, Mu Guanqing also dropped the cup, and the cup rolled twice along the uneven stone table before slowly stopping in front of Yanxin.

At the same time as the cup stopped, Yan Xin happened to speak: "But anyone who can hear what is said today is probably a person who will never be able to get out of this prison for the rest of his life." ”

"Then what does Miss Liu think I will choose?" Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, her eyes looked particularly dangerous in the dim candlelight.

Yan Xin was also honest enough, and he also squinted his eyes and looked directly at her and said, "The two don't help each other." ”

Mu Guanqing didn't answer, and motioned for her to continue.

"The female official is a noble person, and it is too inferior to participate in this succession, the prince is weak and has become an outcast, if he helps the second prince, it is useless to add icing on the cake, but His Royal Highness the third prince needs you to send charcoal in the snow."

Yanxin stood up and examined this matter from Mu Guanqing's point of view.

However, Mu Guanqing seemed to have some objections and asked: "It seems that I can't get any benefit from these three choices, why can't I help each other?" ”

"The way to be an official is naturally that you understand better than me, if you want to gain a firm foothold in the court, how many problems you will encounter as a woman do not need me to make it clear, plus you offended a lot of the second prince's henchmen in the court last year, if he gains power, then he will inevitably reward his supporters, and when that time comes, can you still have today's glory?"

Yanxin has the memory of the previous life, and naturally knows Mu Guanqing's weaknesses, she has tasted all the hardships and hardships to get to this position, and has become the first female official in the Three Kingdoms, she is powerful, prestigious, and financial, but this is only based on relying on the imperial power.

The process of coming from nothing is glorious, and how many people can tolerate the feeling of going from having to nothing?

Mu Guanqing bowed slightly, as if Yan Xin's words were not enough to convince her to make up her mind.

"There is some truth, but it is too difficult for me to help a prince who has no roots."

But now that she was relieved, there was room for maneuver in this matter.

"If the third prince didn't have no foundation, would you choose him?"

"Not impossible."

Mu Guanqing also stood up and tidied up his clothes to show his attitude.

"Okay, then I'll make a bet with you. If you can take me to see the queen mother today, then tomorrow the three princes will have a solid backing. ”
