With the huge power of that family, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape for long. However, according to the second sister's character of living in the mountains and not looking at the water, she will definitely not release the news in a grand manner that she has lost it.

In this case, I will definitely look for it in a low-key manner, and it is not easy to do search and arrest work such as open and secret visits, so I will be more careful in everything in the future.

Li Nanke thought so, and his steps became more and more brisk. The jewels and jade rings in the baggage followed her footsteps and whispered, and there was a faint Seiko engraved on it.

It was the word "Li".

Duan Heng and Li Nanke have been entangled for a long time, and they have been walking all over Nanshi North Street to buy kumquat for Xiao He before, and they are already very tired at this time. In front of me, I walked to the residential area of the officials, and it was not a few steps away from Xiao He's mansion. Duan Heng turned around the alley and knocked on the door of the Xiao Mansion.

The little girl was sleepy-eyed, and asked the visitor impatiently: "What's the matter, the adults have ...... I've fallen asleep", when I saw that the person who came was the noble man who had been visiting every day in the past few days, the voice that was originally very tireless was also very frightened at the moment.

Duan Heng didn't bother with him much. Xiao He is injured, no better than before, sleeping earlier is better. He looked at the bag of fragrant kumquat he was carrying, and secretly sighed that tonight's legendary experience, this bag was really not easy to come by.

Duan Heng handed the kumquat to the little servant in Xiao He's mansion, and gave him a few pieces of broken silver, asking him to hand it over to his own adults tomorrow. The little guy in Xiao He's Mansion was very doggy to this generous prince, and nodded yes again and again, and Duan Heng returned to the prince's mansion.

At this time, it was already a child, and only the sound of water in Yichun Lake could be heard in the silence of the palace.

The ambergris in the imperial study is faint, the glazed palace lamp is brightly lit, Mu Churan is still reviewing and reading, and the bird's nest in the golden bowl on the side has not even moved.

Gonggong Liu on the side was very worried when he saw his majesty working so hard. In the past, when the emperor was here, he made a habit of finishing today's affairs for political affairs, and worked hard for the people's livelihood and internal and external troubles several times, so that he returned to heaven with sorrow and labor in his forties.

Today's His Majesty has been by the emperor's side since he was a child, and over the years of exposure and personal experience, he has learned the emperor's temperament and way of doing things.

Although the current situation is stable and the country and the people are safe, in the eyes of His Majesty, there are still many problems that are constantly exposed: the Langjiang River, which nourishes the people on both sides of the Great Yin, not only brings wealth and harvest in the eyes of His Majesty, but also the lives of thousands of people swallowed up under the raging flood season.

The power of the court is evenly balanced, and there is no danger of internal and external troubles for the time being, but His Majesty always feels that from the frontier generals to the courtiers in the court, it is necessary to constantly maintain a new balance...... Now that the danger of the trip to the south has just passed, the murderer behind the scenes has not yet been clarified, and the Fengguo mission is about to visit, and there are so many things that it is even more difficult for His Majesty to sleep.

Gonggong Liu lamented that he was just an old slave who served people, and everything was respected by His Majesty's wishes. It's a pity that there is not even a concubine in the huge palace of His Majesty, and there is no one who knows cold and hot to feel sorry for His Majesty.

It has been twelve years since His Majesty ascended the throne this year, and he is exactly twenty years old. The ancestors who were put in front of them, I am afraid that there are even several children at this age.

Even the latest emperor has already gotten married, and the Ninety-Five Supreme in front of him is really not in a hurry at all. Once this master himself is not in a hurry, no one can persuade him. Not to mention the entourage of them who were waiting in front of them, even the noble Queen Mother in the Chaolu Hall could only worry about Bai.

I can only hope that God will arrange a good match for his majesty as soon as possible, and let these courtiers and people settle down early, so that the storage position of Da Yin will not be vain, so that other forces will be eyeing each other.

Mu Churan faced the lamp and corrected the twists, where did he think that Gonggong Liu next to him had already done so much for him? Yu Mu said at the beginning that what match made in heaven is just his own shackles, this political bargaining chip, and the sorrow of being an emperor.

But after all, I don't like it, and in the end, no matter which one you choose, it doesn't matter which tiger girl or the daughter of the family you choose. The emperor's heart is like a cup, if there is nothing in the cup, it can naturally hold anything.

If there is something in the cup...... Heh, Mu Churan sneered in his heart, the most ruthless emperor family, this is not something he should think about. I continued to dip the wolf pen in the cinnabar in the inkstone, and marked the red circles, this is the last book today.

Mu Churan then closed the fold and motioned for Gonggong Liu to move to the side to tidy up. As soon as the thing was done, a little hunger followed. Stretched out his hand to take the bowl of bird's nest, it was a little cold, it was really disgusting to eat it in the middle of the night, and the quick-eyed father-in-law Liu immediately asked the imperial dining room to send a bowl of hot food.

Mu Churan was not sleepy for a while, only gently rubbed the right temple with his hand, closed his eyes and leaned against the dragon couch and waited quietly. The Rui Brain Golden Beast incense burner next to the couch secretly spit ambergris, and a gust of wind came from outside the hall, blowing the candle flame red, and for a while, the imperial study where the Son of Heaven worked also made the king relax.

Suddenly, unconsciously, the bird's nest in the bowl of gold-painted bowls on the table appeared in his mind, the color was delicate, and it must have tasted smooth and delicious, just like many years ago.

Today's Princess An is the sister of her mother, and Duan Heng, the son of King An's Mansion, is naturally her cousin. Although the two are the same age, they are still a few months older than Mu Churan and Duan Heng.

In Mu Churan's memory, although his childhood mansion was noble, it was not entirely because of his mother's position in the harem.

Speaking of which, between the Queen Mother and Duan Fu, who borrowed whose power is really interesting when you think about it now.

In short, General Duan in his memory is really a bit of a real talent, and Duan Heng, the only son of the Duan family, naturally often goes to the palace to accompany him. It's just that Duan's father later achieved the position of general, even if his father didn't say it, he was always afraid that his relatives would have too much influence on the prince, and the days of getting along with Duan Heng would not be numbered.

Now that I think about it, the two often meet at the queen mother's place, and because of their similar age, they have different opinions on the issue of the Taifu, and they often compete for a bowl of bird's nest rewarded by the queen mother.

Mu Churan thought about it back then, and even the faint pain in his temples had dissipated a lot. However, at that time, Duan Heng, who was competing with himself for bird's nest, was young and noble.

Now the cloud qi on his body when he was a teenager has also disappeared, and I don't know when it will be scattered one after another.

I have to say that Mu Churan is a pity, he pities the death of General Duan, it is a pity that the surface of King An's Mansion today is luxurious and empty inside, and it is a pity that Duan Heng, who used to eat, live and travel together, has become a prodigal son in the world.

But at the same time, the position of the emperor forced him not to be a pity, even if General Duan did not die, he would definitely not be able to let his family dominate, he would definitely have to prune it by hand, and it would probably be even more difficult to do at that time.

Mu Churan walked down and casually fiddled with the seasonal maple potted plants in front of the window.

The power of the courtiers is like this bonsai, if it is not repaired, it will grow into a messy and disorderly. If it's not good-looking, how can you decorate the emperor?

The imperial dining room was naturally extremely fast in the supply of the Son of Heaven's meal, and after a while, a bowl of warm bird's nest was presented. The color is delicate and the aroma is tangy, which makes Mu Churan's appetite increase.

The ancients wrote a poem: "Looking at flowers without wine can cure customs", at this moment, Mu Churan sipped bird's nest with a small spoon on the pocket maple tree in front of the window, which was both flowerless and wineless.

couldn't help but smile in his heart, if it was Duan Heng, who was famous for his romantic reputation, thought of this poem, would he have to buy famous flowers and drink good wine?

It is naturally commendable not to let go of the eternal things in his heart, and he is afraid that he will not be able to do it. can see that his childhood friends live so wanton and chic, and there are not many people in the world.

Ke'an Wangfu can't be so marginalized all the time, even if it is not from the perspective of taking care of the country's relatives, let the people of the world see my arrangements for the enablement of loyal ministers and subordinates.

Princess An and her mother are sisters, and they should have reached the age of leisure, so in addition to Duan Heng, the county lord Duan Shengyi is left in King An's mansion.

Speaking of Duan Shengyi, Mu Churan really didn't have a good impression of this cousin. When this cousin was born, Duan Heng's father's position had already faintly shown signs of promotion, and the entire Duan Mansion could be said to have officially entered the ranks of the nobility.

I don't know if it's influenced by this, this cousin's personality is completely different from her bright and clever brother when she was young, and there are not many poetry books in her belly.

The only thing that has been enlightened early is that he knows his own noble status in his own country, and his posture has been high in the past 20 years.

Mu Churan had only heard of Wan'er accidentally saying that Duan Shengyi was jealous in front of her, and she always thought it was just the squeamishness of the little girl's family. Thinking that she lost her father at a young age, it was really unfortunate, and she never took it to heart, and always asked Wan'er to let her appropriately.

I don't know if it was my own behavior that made this cousin misunderstand, and he secretly promised himself a heart. Mu Churan was really big when he thought of this, but then his gaze was very deep and a little cold.

It wasn't until the day of the trip to the south that Mu Churan really knew what kind of importance the so-called jealousy in Juan'er's mouth was.

Xiao He was pushed into the water and seemed to be a dead end with nowhere to solve, but in fact, thinking of the broken lotus flower he picked up, all the clues and reasoning were instantly clarified like the dawn of the sky.

has such a big prejudice against Xiao He, and after the murder, there is still a daughter who tramples on the lotus, except for this cousin of the county lord, he really can't think of anyone else.

At that time, due to the subordinates, the dignity of the royal family, and the great fame of his palace, he didn't delve into it at that time, and wanted to let her go. In the next few days, Mu Churan himself quietly observed Duan Shengyi's reaction, his face was dull, his expression was stagnant, and he was obviously a thief.
