The next day, Duan Heng came to visit Xiao Mansion early.

When Xiao He chatted with him, he casually revealed Xiao Shi's previous discoveries. With Duan Heng's ingenuity, as long as Xiao He dialed it slightly, needless to say that he was too careful, he would naturally understand it and immediately send someone to the post house to investigate.

Sure enough, the investigation turned out that the corner of the main hall had been remodeled, and there was a secret passage leading to the outer wall, although it was narrow, but it was enough to barely squeeze one person. And judging from the fineness of the mud and masonry, it is the most recent thing.

That is, on that day, someone came in from outside the post house and put the poisonous spider into the temple. But if there is no internal response, how can you calculate the time on time and know that Xiao He and Daduo happen to be in the palace?

Moreover, to be able to carry out such a large project on the post house recently, without being discovered by anyone, except that someone in the Ministry of Industry covered up the matter, it is really impossible to think of any other reason.

Duan Heng touched the vine and checked all the way. It just so happened that just twenty days ago, the Ministry of Works did have a record of the project for the repair of the post station. After all, it was not long after receiving the battle report from the front line and learning that Daduo would return to the DPRK with the northern army.

The records on the register had been deliberately destroyed, so when Duan Heng checked, it took a lot of effort to get the evidence.

Subsequently, Duan Heng immediately upheld the matter to Mu Churan according to the truth. Mu Churan was furious when he heard this, and within two or three days, he put all the cadres involved in the Ministry of Works, including Shangshu Lin of the Ministry of Industry, into prison. It's really happy, but Xiao He didn't have time to be happy, so he received a holy decree from Mu Churan, and couldn't help but immediately lift his ban and announce his entry into the palace.

Along the way, she was a little uneasy.

The reason for her uneasiness is very simple, it is Mu Churan, it's just that.

Previously, Na Murong told her that Mu Churan already knew her identity, and if it was true, this emperor would be too terrifying, and his scheming was really unpredictable. He already knows his identity, but he still doesn't move, why? Do you suspect that you still have a fellow party, so you want to catch them all?

After entering the palace, the eunuch did not take Xiao He to the imperial study, but took her directly to the Lotus Palace. This hall is close to the imperial garden, and Yichun Lake is only separated by a wall, although the place is a little off, but it is better than the environment is quiet. In fact, there are no flowers and no leaves in the hall, and there are flowers and fragrances in all seasons, and there is no scenery.

Mu Churan sat on the side of the desk in the hall, dressed in a crimson robe, a little casual and idle. He looked up and saw Xiao He coming in, so he put down the wine glass in his hand and beckoned, "Aiqing, come in." ”

Xiao He only glanced at him when he entered the door, then lowered his head, although he was in civilian clothes, he was too casual. In early summer, the weather gradually became a little hotter, but it was not like him who only wore a robe, his chest was half open, and a piece of spring light under his neck was fully displayed. It's clearly a dressing gown.

And he drinks during the day, and it is not like his usual style, why is this? Did you do it on purpose to show yourself?

The little eunuch closed the door of the palace lightly behind Xiao He. How did this matter make her feel a little mysterious, her steps seemed to be sticky, and she was unwilling to take one more step forward.

Mu Churan's voice seemed to hide a smile, and he simply called her directly, "Come here." ”

Xiao Hemei's heart skipped a beat, and he could only bow his head and walk respectfully next to Mu Churan. Seeing that he was a little drunk, he reached out and patted the place next to him, motioning for her to sit next to him. Xiao He looked down at the square dragon pattern brocade mat, and couldn't help beating drums in his heart, whether to sit or not, it was sad.

Mu Churan stretched out his hand and pulled the corner of her clothes, Xiao He sat on the mat defenselessly, and pressed his hands on Mu Churan's thighs. She raised her eyes, her eyes were full of Mu Churan's strong chest in the placket, and under the two collarbones, there was a flat river, but it was slightly undulating, and the smell of ambergris seemed to be slightly heavier than usual. She struggled to get up, her voice was a little nervous, although it was light but astringent, "Your Majesty has lost her manners, please atone for your sins." ”

Mu Churan squinted slightly, looking at her, with an indissoluble tenderness hidden in the corners of his mouth, as if admiring the most beautiful picture, he carefully looked at her eyebrows and eyes, and replied for a long time: "It's okay, come, have a drink with me." He filled the only wine glass and handed it to Xiao He.

Xiao He stretched out his hand to take the wine glass he had just drunk, a little overwhelmed.

Seeing her pinching the cup, as if she was in a trance, Mu Churan leaned closer and said softly: "If you don't drink, is it possible that I want to feed you personally?" His breath surrounded her with the warm aroma of wine, making her unavoidable, unavoidable. She had to drink the wine from her glass, which was not poison anyway.

The wine was a little stinging, and he probably didn't sit alone in the temple and drink for fun.

Xiao He frowned, and finally swallowed the burning wine, for fear that he would pour himself another glass, so he secretly put away the wine glass, and said to him: "Your Majesty, if you are in a depressed mood, the minister will accompany Your Majesty to the imperial garden for a walk, okay?" ”

Mu Churan smiled bitterly, held the wine jug in his hand, and as soon as he raised his hand, he raised his head at the wine jug and drank it directly. Xiao He hurriedly reached out to grab his wine jug, "This wine is strong, drinking so wildly, it hurts your body." The posture of the two became a little intimate, Mu Churan turned his head to look at her, and muttered, "Are you to blame me?" ”

Xiao He was stunned for a moment, thinking that he should have said that he had punished himself for the previous post house.

"Your Majesty is impartial, how dare the minister say more, besides, Your Majesty is a believer in his heart, so he will send Prince Xiao'an to investigate this matter thoroughly. If you should thank Your Majesty, how can you blame Your Majesty. She sat with her head bowed and spoke very sincerely.

With a bang, Mu Churan put the wine jug on the table, stretched out his hand to grab Xiao He's shoulders, and there was sadness in his eyes, Xiao He couldn't understand it. "That's not what I'm talking about, someone is trying to harm you, but I can't protect you." He almost wanted to take Xiao He into his arms, but Xiao He stiffened and struggled backwards.

"Your Majesty, you're drunk." She retreats, he advances.

"I'm not drunk." His face was an inch in front of her, and the two were so close that Xiao He could touch his lips if he moved slightly.

Xiao He knew that Mu Churan had something on her mind, but where did this matter come from, but she didn't understand.

In this post house incident, someone made it clear that Xiao He was framed, and if it was done, she would be able to drag a Chishui King on her back, but she was lucky, and she developed the habit of listening to all directions after years of martial arts, so she found the poisonous spider in time.

She doesn't blame anyone and doesn't hate anyone. It's just because she has already seen through this world of the jungle, if she is killed, it is because she is not strong enough, so she can't blame others. But she is not an incompetent person who sits still and waits for death, and this debt will have to be recovered sooner or later.

She didn't understand why Mu Churan kept saying that she wanted to protect herself. If she Xiao He needed to rely on human protection to survive, she would have died many times.

And Mu Churan checked according to the clues reported by Duan Heng, and found that this matter was not only related to the Ministry of Works, but also to the Chaolu Palace.

Just this morning, Leng Qingchen also mentioned the matter of the queen again, forcing Mu Churan to almost get angry. On the one hand, he is his mother, and on the other hand, he wants him to choose. All he wanted was to keep her by his side, was that greedy?

Xiao He struggled in his arms, but he hugged her tighter, strangling her bones painfully, he seemed to use all his strength to hold her in his arms, and his strength was so great that he was about to squeeze out the air in her chest.

"Mo Yu......" His voice came from the crook of her neck, a little dull, a little warm.

He called the name again, and her body trembled slightly, and she responded to him, "Your Majesty." As soon as the words came out, Xiao He didn't even hear it, was this his own voice? How does it sound like there is a hint of charm to the bone?

Mu Churan's arms loosened some strength, Xiao He was empty, and just as he was about to break out of his arms, he caught him back and kissed him forcibly.

His kiss was a little clumsy, and he gently explored her lips, not letting go of an inch. Xiao He stretched out his hand to push him away, his hand touched his chest, but the hot skin was like a hot hand, there was no possibility of exerting force, but he was attracted by him, and even the ambergris on his body that usually made her a little tired had a hint of sweetness.

Xiao He was like a drowning person, caught in an abyss that didn't know the edge, and the person in front of her seemed to be able to dispel all the cold and loneliness, so that she couldn't help but remove her hard shell. While breathing, she opened her mouth slightly, and he took advantage of it, and her lips and tongues intersected, which was like turning over the river and the sea, making her a little spinning.

I just said that he was a little clumsy, how could he be like this?

Xiao He was stunned, as if he had woken up from a dream, where is this? What are you doing? What's going on, is it evil or not?

She bit him slightly harder, biting on the tip of her tongue, and it didn't have to be too heavy to make it hurt. Mu Churan really felt pain and groaned, but he didn't let go, but hugged her a little tighter.

They were secretly fighting, and just as you were pushing and blocking, Xiao He heard a voice outside.

"Get out of the way!" It was the voice of the Queen Mother.

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty has instructed that no one is allowed to disturb! Nobody is seen at the moment! The voice of the little eunuch.

"Can't you even go in?" There was a hint of menace in Leng Qingchen's voice.

The little eunuch was silent and didn't dare to say more.

Xiao He saw that Mu Churan's eyes were a little confused, and he was still looking at himself infatuatedly, and called, "Your Majesty! Someone's coming! Mu Churan didn't seem to understand what she said, and asked softly in a nasal voice, "Huh?" ”

She meditated and heard what seemed to be a slap outside, crisp and loud.

"Dog minion! The head on the neck is not wanted? Leng Qingchen said angrily, and his voice also raised a few points.

And Mu Churan was still pulling Xiao He at the moment and refused to let go, plus between the pulls just now, his clothes were crooked, and half of his shoulders were exposed. Xiao He didn't want to sit on the kind of relationship between her and Mu Churan that was circulating in the palace, so he had to pull Mu Churan's clothes in twos and threes, hold his face, and said: "Mu Churan!" Listen up! ”
