"Minister Xiao He, meet the Queen Mother." I no longer have the identity of a horse, and when I see the cold marks, I must make a big salute, and my knees touch the ground before I feel a little cool, after all, the gazebo is set in the water, but it is not like the ground outside, which is baked hot by the sun.

Leng Qingchen waved his hand lazily, "Unknowingly, Aijia hasn't seen Lord Xiao for so long, how is Lord Xiao doing lately?" ”

Leng Qingjian was concerned about Xiao He, but he didn't let her get up. I don't know what this Queen Mother wants to do today?

"The minister is afraid, he is a cloth cloth, and he can only become the prime minister of Yin State thanks to the promotion of the emperor."

"I heard from the palace people that you live in Ran'er's warm pavilion every day, but there is such a thing."

Sure enough, Leng Qingji is not an ordinary person, and everything in this palace must not be hidden from her.

"Empress Dowager, the emperor asked his ministers to stay in the warm pavilion in order to facilitate the care of the emperor's injuries and to facilitate us to discuss national affairs." Xiao He's meaning was very clear, she had long expected that there would be such a day. After all, it hurts to let a man sleep in his room, although the queen mother is quite scheming, but Mu Churan has always been her child, it is impossible for him to let anything damage Mu Churan's reputation get out, earlier, there were rumors in the market that the emperor of the dynasty likes men.

Now it's not easy, Mu Churan has made up his mind to choose a concubine, how can he be like Long Yang's good hat again because of the man in front of him?

"Hmph, are you using the emperor as a shield now?" Leng Qingchen raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Are you still reminding the mourning family that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics?" ”

Xiao He suddenly felt that Mu Churan's smile must have inherited a cold light mark, and the smile made people feel like a spring breeze, so gentle, but there was such a deep scheming hidden behind that smile.

"I don't dare." After talking too much, Xiao He gradually felt that his tongue began to be a little numb.

"Don't you dare? Mourning the family, there is nothing you don't dare to do in the court! ”

Xiao He understands that the Queen Mother called herself over today just to make a crime for herself and make herself ugly and have a long memory. "The minister knows his mistake, and asks the Queen Mother to punish him." Since this is the case, it is better to confess her guilt yourself, lest she wait for her to impose some trumped-up charges on herself, but it is really difficult for her to argue.

"Since you know that you are wrong, then you go and kneel outside the pavilion, kneel for two hours first, and punish the big commandment."

Xiao He lowered his head and thanked him, Leng Qingchen would be like this, a large part of the reason may be because of Duan Shengyi, judging from the fact that she framed herself at that time, Duan Shengyi's heart was full of hostility towards herself, since she entered the palace, Mu Churan has never set foot in the harem once, but let Xiao He sleep in the same room with him every day, which may make Duan Shengyi very concerned.

The scorching sun was in the sky, it was noon time, the sun was a little dazzling, Xiao He was a person who had practiced martial arts after all, and he knelt on his knees, but the ground outside the pavilion was roasted by the sun, and even his knees felt that hot feeling.

When Mu Churan arrived, Xiao He had already knelt for a few hours, Mu Churan went to the Ministry of Industry to discuss matters, and did not take Xiao He with him, who knew that so many things would happen in just a few hours.

"Xiao He!"

Xiao He's consciousness has gradually detached from his body, supporting the ground with his hands, and his forehead is full of beads of sweat, obviously it is close to evening, and the temperature has gradually dropped, but the sweat on his head still can't stop falling.

Mu Churan wanted to help Xiao He up, but her legs were already unconscious, and there was no way to support her body, even under Mu Churan's support, she looked very weak, Mu Churan appeared beside her, making Xiao He relax all of a sudden, and closed her eyes directly.

Mu Churan picked up Xiao He horizontally and prepared to warm up the pavilion.

"Ran'er," Leng Qingzhen's voice sounded behind Mu Churan, "The emperor of the Yin Kingdom can't have any ......."

Mu Churan hugged Xiao He, his back to Leng Qingjian, but his expression was very firm, "I respect you as my mother, I won't attack you no matter what, but please remember that I put you in the cold palace, I hope that the queen mother can reflect in the cold palace with peace of mind and don't do superfluous things." ”

……

Xiao He was seriously dehydrated, and his body had been poisoned by cold before, and he couldn't stand the scorching sun, and the foundation of his body was almost completely destroyed, and the imperial doctor was administering needles to Xiao He, after Mu Churan heard that the imperial doctor said that Xiao He's body was fine, he went out of the room and summoned all the people around the study.

All the people who have diagnosed Xiao He's pulse know Xiao He's gender, naturally, Imperial Physician Song is no exception, the moment he took the pulse, Imperial Physician Song was blinded, looking at the pulse, how to look at Xiao He is a woman, such a big thing, does the emperor know?

Imperial Doctor Song trembled and pulled out the needle on Xiao He's body, he had seen her with trauma before, and he had never diagnosed her pulse, could it be that the emperor really didn't know?

"Tell me, who got all the news out of me? Eat the bear's heart and leopard gall! As a person close to me, he dared to betray me in private! ”

The few little eunuchs in front of him all lowered their heads and did not speak.

"Don't you say?" Mu Churan's face turned obviously cold, "If I don't say it, then I can't leave people who are not loyal to me by my side, come here!" ”

A few guards at the door hurriedly walked in, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?" ”

"Drag it all down, not a single one will be left!"

……

Mu Churan walked back to the warm pavilion, and Imperial Physician Song just put away the needle in his hand, "Your Majesty." ”

"How's it going?" Mu Churan saw that Xiao He hadn't woken up yet, and he was a little anxious, he was originally a person with such a good physique, but in less than a year, he had become so weak.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xiao's health is fine, but the old minister has a matter, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." Imperial Doctor Song looked a little cramped, if the emperor knew and didn't want others to know, his old life was very likely to be the same as the little eunuch outside, and he would completely become a person who couldn't speak.

"Say it." Hearing that Xiao He's body was fine, Mu Churan also relieved his heart.

"I don't know if the emperor knows, Lord Xiao He Xiao is actually a woman."

"What?" The news that Mu Churan heard in the past few days was shocking enough, but Imperial Doctor Song's words really completely frightened Mu Churan, "What you said is true?" ”

Imperial Physician Song was a little hesitant when asked by Mu Churan, "Now the old minister is only preliminarily concluding, and he can't be sure whether Lord Xiao is really a woman, or if his pulse is a little weak because his body is too weak." ”

That is to say...... "Xiao He is really possible to be a woman?"

"When Lord Xiao's body recovers, the old minister will come to check the pulse again before he can confirm it."

Actually, there is an easier way......

Mu Churan looked at Xiao He who was sleeping quietly on the bed, if she unbuttoned her clothes now, she would be able to know if she was a woman or not.

Mu Churan's hand gradually approached Xiao He's collar, the truth is right in front of him, all things are just one step away, as long as they ......

Mu Churan still didn't take off Xiao He's clothes in the end, and there were some things, maybe it would be better to wait for her to tell herself in person.

Mu Churan thought a lot, no wonder Xiao He followed him out of the palace so many times, she had never seen Xiao He take off her coat when she was sleeping at night, no wonder when she was in Zhenzhou, she was resolutely unwilling to share a room with others.

Xiao He had actually woken up a long time ago, she clearly heard the conversation between the imperial doctor and Mu Churan, she didn't dare to open her eyes, she was afraid that as soon as she opened her eyes, Mu Churan would force herself to ask.

When Mu Churan wanted to untie her clothes, her hands were clenched tightly, for fear that Mu Churan would really take off her clothes and expose them directly.

Early the next morning, Xiao He just got out of the morning court and went out of the palace directly.

"Iron Heart, what you asked me to prepare, have you prepared it?"

"It's all here," Tie Xin took out a burden from the dark cabinet behind him, "This is the poison you want, you can seal your throat with blood, you can apply it to a knife, you should be careful when you use it, there is no antidote." ”

"Hmm." Xiao He didn't continue, and simply replied with a word.

"Are you ready to do it?"

"Hmm."

"Can you bear it? Kill Mu Churan? ”

"Hmm."

"Young master, you're tempted." Tie Xin looked at Xiao He's eyes, without the slightest doubt, and directly said what Xiao He thought in his heart.

"I didn't." Xiao He felt very uncomfortable in his heart, indeed, Tiexin's words were just inserted in her heart, yes, she was indeed tempted.

"Young Master, I hope you can remember why the Lord and Mrs. died, don't forget, Mu Churan is your enemy."

Xiao He didn't dare to look at Tie Xin's eyes, and turned around directly, "I know this, if I forget, I won't come to you, for Mu Churan, I have always been very clear about his positioning." He was already doubting my gender, and if he didn't do it, he probably wouldn't have a chance in the future. ”

"Now half of the ministers in the court are afraid of my strength, and they will not dare to act rashly, if something happens, notify King An, and take care of the government for the time being, after all, he is also a royal person."

……

Seeing that the poison of the blood sealing throat was very dark, quenched on the knife, it looked a little weird, and the poison flowed down the blade, and the color made Xiao He look a little infiltrating.

At that time, Cheng Qianqiu died under this poison, and anyone who thought that his martial arts were so high could not withstand this poison, and when Mu Churan was stabbed, he must have died without life.

Xiao He's preoccupied appearance obviously attracted Mu Churan's attention, and Mu Churan obviously didn't hold back, "Xiao He, who are you?" You suddenly appeared, mysteriously, without warning, in front of me, what is your identity? ”

Xiao He was taken into Mu Churan's arms and sat on Mu Churan's lap, "Your Majesty, I'll go in and come back immediately."
