When he first entered the Purple Gold City as a guard, he had imprinted the entire palace map in his mind, and the locations of each palace and courtyard were as familiar as his own backyard. As for the Zhaohua Palace, even in the dark of night, he could accurately find the direction.

Tang Yiwei fell on the roof of the main hall, there were no lights in other places, and there were still dim palace lights in the main hall, and the lights were beating as if telling people an unfinished story. He held his breath as he circled the guards patrolling the doorway like a ghost on the wall.

He quietly entered the hall, bypassed the screen, and saw two people lying on the warm tent bed.

His heart trembled, and his breathing was a little scrambled.

Mu Churan and Yi were lying next to Xiao He, not falling asleep, suddenly he heard a trace of movement, and when he was about to open his eyes, he was clicked on the sleeping hole and lost consciousness. Xiao He slept very lightly, and was also awakened, his eyes widened, and he saw Tang Yiwei. She pulled her hand out of Mu Churan's hand in a bit of a panic, "You...... How did it come? ”

She rolled over and sat up, looked down at Mu Churan, who was motionless, and then looked up.

"He's fine, he's just been put to sleep, and he'll wake up naturally in two hours." Tang Yiwei's face couldn't see joy and anger, but in Xiao He's opinion, there was an undercurrent that could not be forged.

She got out of bed, her body was a little unstable, Tang Yiwei stepped forward to support her and help her cross Mu Churan to the ground.

Even though Mu Churan was asleep now, it was inconvenient for her to talk to Tang Yiwei at his side, as if he would wake up at will. She followed him around the outer hall and heard him ask how she was doing. She tried her best to be relaxed, "I took the poison on purpose, only in this way can I make the person who poisoned me careless, and I will make him anxious to make a move, so that I can have the opportunity to seize the handle and prove my innocence." ”

"You are in crisis everywhere in Purple City, can he really protect you?" As he spoke, Tang Yiwei turned his head to look in the direction of the inner hall. If he could, he would rather finish off Mu Churan with one knife now, and then take Xiao He away and fly high, no matter what the chaos of the Great Yin Dynasty becomes. But how long can he protect her, and when he thinks about it, it makes him feel worried.

If because of his concession, Xiao He was pushed into Mu Churan's arms inch by inch, this was the last thing he wanted to see.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to let myself be fine, is everything okay outside?" Xiao He reached out and pressed the back of his hand and smiled indifferently. He knew that she was asking about the people in the Xiao Mansion, and the housekeeper and Hongzhu were sitting in the mansion together, but they didn't make any trouble. It's just that some ignorant people did listen to some gossip, saying that their own adults were about to be beheaded, or they were sent to the army, so they were in a hurry to leave the house and run.

Hongzhu's temper is not vegetarian, and he caught a few typical examples of fanning the flames and pampering others, and scolded him in the courtyard, so he was born.

The refined government soldiers led by the Han brothers are also Hongzhu's solid backing, even if Xiao He is not there, there is no need to worry about any changes in the mansion. This is thanks to her little favors on weekdays, but these people are determined to do things for her. Even if she is in prison now, she is not distracted.

Hearing what he said, Xiao He nodded slightly, which was not bad as she expected.

"My case is about to come to an eyebrow. I'm not the one who is in a hurry now. You don't have to worry too much about being out there. In less than half a month, I will be back. Xiao He said confidently.

Tang Yiwei pinched her palm with his backhand, looking at her confident appearance, he should have been relieved, but for some reason he felt sad. Because when I think of her, she is used to carrying everything by herself, without pretending to be the hands of others, she has a plan, and she is no longer as caring for as ordinary women, like a greenhouse flower, and even a hundred times stronger than ordinary men.

And these are not something that can be cultivated overnight, how many hardships she has endured, how many hardships she has endured, and how much she has trained her heart to be so strong.

He once thought that he could protect her well, but he made himself helpless again and again and let her down. In the middle of the past, every time I separated, I couldn't bear to recall.

"It's almost dawn, if you don't leave, I'm afraid that people will find out." Xiao He reminded with some concern.

Tang Yiwei bowed slightly, and then glanced at her affectionately, with reluctance in his eyes. Xiao He stood on tiptoe and quickly imprinted on his cheek. She is not an emotionally outgoing person, but she is the only one who has an attachment to him and cannot be parted.

Her action made his heart ripple again, and he pressed it for a long time before he pulled out his feet and walked out of the temple gate.

When the first rays of sunlight fell into the house through the window frame in the morning, Mu Qingwan woke up.

She thought she was still in her bed, but she was slightly uncomfortable with the dazzling light, "Abi! How can it be so bright? What time is it? The east window of her dormitory was obviously covered with a mooncage veil, and unless it was the scorching midday sun, there would not be such a bright and dazzling light.

But she screamed twice, but she didn't hear any response.

She opened her eyes and raised her arm to cover it slightly, but she vaguely found that this was not her bedroom, and the surrounding arrangement was clearly the side hall of Chaolu Palace.

Suddenly, she remembered that the day before, she was taken back to the Chaolu Hall by the Shan family, but the queen mother did not receive her, but ordered someone to lock her directly in the side hall. Abi was also taken away later, and now I don't know if she is alive or dead.

Mu Qingwan couldn't help but feel a chill, when her royal brother talked about the queen mother, he always said that the queen mother was too ruthless, and even asked her not to have high hopes for the queen mother. But the tiger poison does not eat children, although she wants to tell the royal brother the truth about the fraud in the imperial examination, it is considered to be a little disobedient to the queen mother, but what she discussed with the queen mother at the beginning was just to trap Xiao He for a while, and then save the hero by herself, so that he could remember a little kindness to himself, and maybe he could have some different fate.

Why did day by day, this plan turned out to be different from what the queen mother said at the beginning.

Even the palace people are saying that Xiao He is afraid that he will definitely die this time. It is said that there was once a high-ranking official who accepted bribes in the imperial examination, leaked the examination questions in advance, and secretly gave priority to the candidates who paid the bribes during the examination of the papers, and was torn apart before the noon gate. Although it is not a matter of this dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties have paid special attention to the selection of officials.

Mu Qingwan naturally didn't understand this truth, she always thought that pushing out the palace maid who acted would definitely be able to keep Xiao He.

And the royal brother has always spoiled himself, and he will not punish himself heavily for this matter.

But things have become so uncontrollable. What went wrong?

She walked to the door and found that it was locked from the outside. She shouted and banged the door, but there was no response. At the moment, even Abi doesn't know where to go, and the queen mother refuses to see her. It is really called that the heavens should not be, and the earth is not spiritual.

Mu Qingwan leaned against the door frame and slid to the floor, wanting to cry without tears.

Mu Yunjing was about to talk to Mu Churan about going to the Chaolu Hall yesterday, and ran into Shen Suhang on the road.

"His Royal Highness King Yu, please stay." Shen Suhang quickly caught up from behind and stopped Mu Yunjing.

"I don't know what Master Shen has to say?" He turned back and bowed to him. This Shen Suhang has always been as tranquil as water, not stained with dust, but he is a person worthy of fellowship. Therefore, Mu Yunjing has been treating him politely.

"Don't dare to be, may I ask Your Highness went to Chaolu Hall yesterday at the behest of His Majesty, but you can find Princess Changle?" Shen Suhang paid so much attention to Mu Qingxuan's affairs, which made Mu Yunjing a little surprised. Could it be that he had anything in mind about Mu Qingxuan, but it didn't affect Mu Yunjing's plan. If he really fell in love with Mu Qingwan, it would be a good thing for Mu Yunjing, which was equivalent to holding Shen Suhang's weakness in his hand.

If you hold him, it is equivalent to seeing half of the gate of the country. In other days, the struggle for unification will be beneficial.

Mu Yunjing shook his head and sighed lightly, "Yesterday, this king touched a soft nail at the place of the Queen Mother's grandmother, and I wanted to discuss countermeasures with Your Majesty, but I didn't want to be interrupted by some accidents in the prison of the Criminal Department. That's why I went to see you again early this morning. ”

Shen Suhang left the palace early yesterday, but he didn't know about Xiao He's poisoning, and when he heard Mu Yunjing talk about it, he was also shocked into a cold sweat.

Sure enough, this morning, some people raised all kinds of doubts about Xiao He's case. When one person speaks up, there is an echo. came and went, and half of the people thought Xiao He was innocent. Half of these half are actually followers.

originally thought that Xiao He Tie would definitely be criminalized, but Mu Churan's attitude was not clear, and although he put people in prison, he did not order a strict trial. None of the interrogation methods of the Criminal Department were used, and King Yu and Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials were also ordered to be jointly responsible for the trial.

Most of the onlookers followed Mu Churan's movements closely, and figuring out the holy will has also become a science.

At present, there was also a poisoning incident in prison, and seeing that Shangshu of the Criminal Department was scolded for a scolding, even the prisoners were taken out of the prison, and Mu Churan personally sent someone to detain him in the cold palace. Clear-eyed people can't see what the emperor means, isn't that stupid?

And the opposition faction still insists on their own opinions, and uses conclusive evidence to convict Xiao He of several crimes, and even the patriarch Fang Ningyu, who rarely speaks on weekdays, spoke out, lukewarmly alluding to Mu Churan being too partial to others. Several officials even did not hesitate to portray the perversion of law and discipline in the imperial examination room as a rebellious act that brought disaster to the country and the people, and harmed the country.

It is a rule set by the ancestors not to behead officials, otherwise Mu Churan would have pushed these scribes who love to chew the root of their tongues and say harsh words all day long out of the noon gate. They still shouted for their loyalty, but they didn't regard the suspicions as if they were nothing, but they kept an eye on Mu Churan's every move, and said that they were the Son of Heaven and recommended Xuanyuan with blood.

Mu Churan sat under the dragon chair, squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the ministers, and thought to himself that it was he who had been too benevolent recently, which had caused the atmosphere of mutual faction and selfishness between the DPRK and China to gradually rise again, and it seemed that it was necessary to take advantage of this matter to suppress it again.
