After Murong returned to his residence, he heard a report from his subordinates, "Mrs. Li has returned home safely." ”

He bowed his head slightly, and added: "Let the jade-faced Rakshasa go and give Li Shangshu a reminder, don't fight Ji Changge's idea for the time being." ”

"Yes." The subordinate retreated.

Hanxiang came over to help Murong untie his cloak, took off his outer coat for him, and hugged him in his arms, "Master, the pothos is ready and ready to carry out the task at any time." Murong turned around and whispered, "Then let her go, before she gets my order, lurk." ”

Liushi came in with a copper basin, "Please clean your hands, master." ”

Hanxiang withdrew with her clothes in her arms, and took a photo and withdrew after putting the copper basin on the basin rack.

Murong stretched out his hand, put in the warm water, and after soaking his hands, he slowly raised his hand to take off the mask and put it on the table. He leaned over and began to wash his face, his movements were gentle, and he lingered outside the door with incense, and he couldn't help but want to look through the cracks in the patterns of the hollowed-out doors and windows.

She had been with Murong for a year, and she had never seen the face under that mask.

The master's voice is as pleasant as a mountain spring, even if she doesn't see the true face, the outline is extremely heroic, and in addition to curiosity, she has more admiration in her heart. Through the crack, she saw that the owner was holding a handkerchief and wiping the water on his face, and the handkerchief was about to be removed......

Suddenly, she was pulled aside.

She raised her eyes to see that it was a photo, and couldn't help but be annoyed, and scolded in a low voice: "What are you pulling me for?" ”

"What else do I want to ask you?" The photo also stared at her, with an incredulous look.

"I ...... I'll see if my master has any other commands. Hanxiang holds herself and accepts Murong's favor and doesn't take the photo in her eyes.

"You think you have a long life, don't think that you have a bit of a posture, just be presumptuous in front of the master!" Liuying said coldly, but it pierced Hanxiang's heart, making her even more annoyed and angry.

"Who are you to say about me?"

Liuying glanced at her, there was a bit of pity in his eyes, and then turned to go out, but his voice fell behind, "I don't want him to collect your body for you in the future, so I kindly persuade you." ”

Hearing this, Han Xiang couldn't help but be a little afraid. She recalled that when she was first selected, she served in front of Murong Jin, and she had been warned by her seniors for a long time, don't look at the master's usual gentleness, once he gets angry, he will be overwhelmed, which is very terrifying.

Don't be taboo.

It was the word she heard the most.

One of these so-called taboos is the silver mask on the owner's face.

Who wears a mask all the time? He even wears a mask when he sleeps.

Curiosity is human. Hanxiang didn't believe that no one had been curious about this question before her, but no one told her what happened to those curious people in the end, but someone had always advised her not to be curious.

This curiosity was endured by her for a year, and she has been at peace with each other, but she has become more and more trusted by Murong. In front of him, words can also be said a little more.

Xu was this grace that made her a little carried away. If it hadn't been for the photo to remind her, maybe she would have been able to see the true face of her master, and what price she would have paid, she didn't dare to think about the consequences.

In the Purple Gold City, Mu Churan had already learned about the affairs in the Chaolu Palace.

There was no joy or anger on his face, but he immediately drove to the Chaolu Temple.

I heard that the emperor was here in person, and the palace was extremely panicked, and now the queen mother is still quitting drug addiction, not only with a sick face, but also with a bad temper, and she has no gentle demeanor at all, and she scolds whoever she catches. When he became crazy, he was almost out of order, and he could only use a decoction to calm him down a little, but the decoction could only be suppressed for a while, and he could only take it once a day. The rest of the hours are spent by his will and the supervision of others.

The dignified Empress Dowager Yin was contaminated with forbidden drugs and fell to this.

Mu Churan tried his best to restrain his temper, the calmer he was on the surface, the more turbulent he was inside.

The palace people stood guard at the door, kneeling upright one by one, for fear that this head would be separated at any time. The emperor entered the palace by himself, and after a while, all the people inside were sent out. Even the Shan clan retreated and carefully closed the temple door.

"Lord Shanggong, the emperor is ......" Someone came up to ask, but saw that Shan's face was also gloomy and uncertain.

"Don't talk too much! Although I don't blame us now, this head is all on the neck, and the hood is brighter! All of us have to thank the prince for bringing the doctor over last time, otherwise we will ...... today" Shan sighed and knelt at the door without saying a word.

Others didn't dare to ask more.

No one knew what the two high lords in the hall said, only that after a stick of incense, Mu Churan came out of the hall. Mu Churan stood at the door, looking at the kneeling people in the palace, his eyes were cold, "You minions actually serve your master like this, how should I punish you?" ”

His voice was not loud, but every word was like a winter north wind blowing solemnly, so that the midsummer weather instantly froze, and the biting chill was so cold that the back of the back jumped along the backbone to the heavens, and the cold sweat on his forehead could not stop, and for a time everyone was in danger, and they kept kowtowing and begging for mercy. Life and death are all in the mind of the master, and even more so, he is so frightened that he can't cry.

There are also a few people who are waiting for the queen mother in front of her, such as the palace people who are kneeling outside and are in charge of sweeping the outer courtyard, and they don't even see the queen mother a few times on weekdays, how can they know what she is doing in the palace, strictly speaking, the crime of poor service is really wronged. At this time, it is also these people who cry the loudest, because their lives are cheap, no one speaks for themselves, and the unwillingness, grievances, and resentments can only be turned into tears, and tears are sprinkled on their clothes.

Shan took a deep breath, and after repeating his head, he reported back to Mu Churan: "Back to Your Majesty, the minions really deserve to die, they just obeyed the orders of the Queen Mother, but they failed to prevent the Queen Mother from going astray in time, and they were stupid and loyal afterwards, and they didn't dare to report to Your Majesty in time." They are all stupid and dull minions, and everything is at the disposal of His Majesty! ”

Mu Churan glanced at the back of her head leaning on the ground, and didn't feel that she was wronged, but killing them now and reassigning another group of people to Chaolu Hall might not be better than their group of people. The key is the person who sends the medicine in, what is the purpose? That's what he's most concerned about right now.

Just now, when he went in to see the Queen Mother, Leng Qingchen finally recognized that the person who came was the emperor, grabbed Mu Churan's sleeve, and repeated the most that he wanted him to kill Xiao He. He had always known that the Queen Mother had some misunderstandings about Xiao He, but why did it come to this point.

"Let's make up for it." Mu Churan flicked his sleeves and drove back to the palace.

Sending away the emperor's Luanjia, everyone in the palace of Chaolu Palace was like being pardoned, and their clothes were wet with sweat for two or three layers. After Shan got up, he coldly commanded everyone: "What to do in the future, you should have a clear distinction in your hearts!" Don't make any more mistakes, otherwise it will not only affect the people in this palace, but also your family! ”

Shan is the oldest and highest-ranking palace maid in the Chaolu Palace, and no one listens to her words, everyone responds in unison, and they dare not make a mistake.

Not long after Mu Churan returned to the imperial study, the eunuch came to report, and Duan Heng, the king of An, asked to see him.

"I haven't announced him yet, he himself came over first!" Mu Churan waved his hand and asked someone to bring him in.

As soon as Duan Heng entered, he gave a big salute first, and Mu Churan looked at him quietly, "Why is this?" You have to make such a big gift to me. ”

"The minister has something to play to His Majesty, so I must first ask Your Majesty to forgive the sin of the minister who cut off first and then play." Duan Heng's words were sincere, Mu Churan snorted, but he was not in a hurry to express his position, and said slowly: "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, the minister was entrusted by his mother to visit the queen mother's aunt, but he found a shocking thing." Duan Heng explained the situation of Chaolu Hall and the causes and consequences of his own handling to Mu Churan in detail. Mu Churan squinted his eyes slightly, he went to the Zhaolu Hall with his front foot, and Duan Heng came to the imperial study to ask for guilt with his back foot, didn't he have his eyeliner in front of the emperor?

"Why did you come to me now?" Mu Churan stared at Duan Heng's eyes and didn't ask him to be flat.

"The minister is worried that His Majesty will make a decision to regret when he is angry, so he will wait until everything is stable to report to His Majesty, which is the minister's visit to the palace and the detailed record of the gift list sent to the Chaolu Palace." Duan Heng stepped forward on his knees and presented an account book to the imperial case.

He's been busy all the time.

Is it really just a coincidence?

Mu Churan asked himself in his heart.

There are not many things in the world that are right or wrong, and most of them depend on how people see and think. Mu Churan believed Duan Heng this time, but he was not a monarch, but a cousin, and made up for the mistakes he made for his mother and his aunt.

"Is it Lang Zhong that you and Xiao He invited from outside the palace?" Mu Churan suddenly asked.

Duan Heng was slightly stunned, he did say this to Mu Churan just now, after all, Xiao He followed him into the palace, and there were so many pairs of eyes watching. This statement is also that he has been in tune with Xiao He, and there will be no mistakes, but being asked by Mu Churan made him a little uneasy, it seems that there are still some mistakes, but he can't think of it for a while.

"That's true." Duan Heng replied respectfully.

There should be no mistakes in the prescription, the imperial medical institute is now without Xue Liangan, and there are other imperial physician deacons, so it will not be messed up, Mu Churan wants to check, just find someone to see if the prescription is true or false, there should be no blame for this layer.

He glanced at Mu Churan's expression again, could it be Xiao He?

I waited for a long time, but I didn't wait for anything else.

Mu Churan just raised his hand, "You get up and speak." ”

Duan Hengcai stood up, between him and Mu Churan, it was no longer the relationship between the two brothers who were competing in height and having noisy and laughing when they fought for bird's nest. He looked at Mu Churan and quietly looked at the account book, line by line, word by word, and what he found, I believe that Mu Churan will soon find it.

He didn't need to say anything more here, just leave all the decisions to this master.

Mu Churan's gaze still fell on the account book, but his tone was a little relaxed, "Duan Heng, you say, should I reward you or punish you?" ”
