Zhan Lingxuan specially arranged for Mu Liran to have a palace called Ling, I heard that it was the palace where Zhan Cangming lived when he was a child, Zhan Lingxuan had never allowed his subordinates to move anything inside, but just asked his subordinates to clean it as if Zhan Cangming was still living in the palace.

Mu Liran, who was sitting on the bed, recalled that when Zhan Ling Xuan personally brought her to the palace, the tenderness in his eyes couldn't help but tremble with numbness—this brother!

The night gradually deepened, and in this era, almost everyone had fallen asleep peacefully, and the other days before she fell asleep very quickly because she was too tired from the war, but these days were very leisurely and energetic, and she could not sleep at all.

Mu Liran was worrying about how to spend the first half of the night, but found a thin black snake wrapped around the foot of the bed.

But Mu Liran's joy of having something to do far outweighs the fear of seeing a snake in the house for no reason.

Mu Liran quickly jumped to a pot of landscape orange trees placed at the entrance of the palace, folded off a wooden stick that was about half a foot long, found the snake that had climbed into bed, quickly found the snake seven inches away, pressed it down with a wooden stick, and after the snake stabilized, he pinched the snake's head tightly, stepped on the snake's tail with his foot, and gently snatched a hairpin from the bun with his right hand, cut the snake's head with the sharp place of the hairpin, carefully wrapped the snake's head tightly with a piece of cloth, and threw it out of the window.

This palace is cleaned as if Zhan Cangming lived here, the surrounding walls are not damaged, the door is not opened, and there are no snakes when I come here to see during the day.

"It's really kind, knowing that I won't be hungry if I can't sleep at night, and I specially prepared such a good meat." Mu Liran carefully inspected it, and found that the snake was not poisonous, so he boldly began to peel off the snake's skin, and then used the wooden stick that had just beaten the snake to string up a whole snake, went to the imperial dining room to get the spices and flint, and squatted in a corner behind the palace, ready to enjoy.

After the skin of this black snake was peeled off, the snake flesh exposed was very smooth, and the blood on the snake flesh was washed away, and it was crystal clear, with a delicate texture and a slight pink flesh.

Pick up two or three large stones with a relatively flat surface, rinse them with water, set up the stones, make a fire under the stones, bake the stones hot, pour a layer of fragrant sesame oil, and when the sesame oil begins to squeak on the stones, then take off the snake meat that has been roasted in the fire but has not yet been cooked from the wooden stick, use a small blade to make a thin piece of meat like a cicada's wings, and put the uncooked side on the stone, but a few breaths of time, the snake meat on the other side has begun to squeak, and the uncooked side is naturally cooked.

Using chopsticks, the snake meat is sandwiched onto another cleaned stone, sprinkled with chili powder from the imperial dining room, and all of a sudden, the chili powder mixed with sesame oil mixed with the spicy and stimulating mellow aroma wafts out from every fiber in the snake meat, stimulating Mu Liran's taste buds at once.

So before the snake meat cooled down, Mu Liran couldn't wait to put the piece of snake meat into his mouth, after the hot feeling disappeared, he was greeted with the spicy taste and sesame aroma of Mu Liran's taste buds, the meat slices were fried and fused, and the barbecue charcoal gave people a delicious taste, but the fried oil was better in terms of smell, and the fragrance was not exaggerated.

Under the influence of this delicious taste, Mu Liran gradually became sleepy, and after the fire was extinguished, he climbed onto a tree and fell asleep in the cool breeze.

In the morning, I was woken up by the hustle and bustle of the crowd.

After all, Zhan Cangming, the god of death of the Qin Kingdom, is well-informed, cares about the princess of Zhan, and will inquire whether the princess in the palace, who is extremely spoiled, has been wronged in the palace and whether she is doing well-if Zhan Cangming knows that this princess disappeared out of thin air on the first morning of her stay, I really can't imagine the consequences.

Zhan Lingxuan loved the emperor's brother as he knew that his brother-in-law was gone, and he couldn't bear it in the morning, so he was even more anxious to find it together.

And Mu Liran, who caused this uproar, just woke up from the dream.

With a leap, he easily descended the tree.

Mu Liran rubbed her sleepy eyes, walked to a palace maid casually, and opened her mouth in a lazy voice because she had just woken up: "It's so noisy, is something wrong?" ”

The palace maid was very anxious and didn't want to deal with it, so she turned her head to look at Mu Liran, who was loose and messy with her hair and rubbing her eyes, and felt very familiar, carefully identified it, and confirmed that it was Mu Liran, so she called out loudly.

Mu Liran was startled by this loud voice, and completely came to his senses, and just as he was about to ask, he saw a group of palace maids, eunuchs, and concubines walking over around Zhan Lingxuan, and the scene was very huge.

Looking at Mu Liran, who knew at a glance that it was Mu Liran, who had just woken up, Zhan Lingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, let everyone disperse, and asked helplessly and funny: "My good brother and daughter-in-law, where have you been?" ”

Mu Liran was even more confused and replied to sleep.

As soon as Zhan Lingxuan asked where he slept, he was even more helpless.

"There's no way, there was a snake last night, I'm afraid ......" Mu Liran knew that the palace was not peaceful in the early morning, and he felt a little guilty, so he had to divert Zhan Ling Xuan's attention.

Sure enough, Zhan Ling Xuan began to ask about the snake.

Mu Liran prevaricated, and then went to the palace to freshen up under the pretext of running away, and left Zhan Ling Xuan.

Zhan Ling Xuan stood in place, and did not move for a long time, although there are many creatures in the back garden of this palace, but because it is a place where the harem concubines often play and rest, they have already ordered a thorough investigation of the harem where there are many plants and trees, whether there are snakes infested, and strictly prohibit the appearance of such creatures. And just heard what Mu Liran said, there are snakes infested in this deep palace, and Mu Liran was frightened by this on the first night after entering the palace, is it a poor investigation, or is someone doing it on purpose?

Zhan Ling Xuan understood that at yesterday's banquet, Concubine Wen offered to stay in the palace to stay overnight, which must not be as simple as it seemed on the surface.

"Pass the order down, and pay attention to the movements of Concubine Wen Jinyun Palace. The movements should be small and do not disturb the concubine. Zhan Lingxuan whispered to his father-in-law beside him.

Mu Liran is the woman his brother loves deeply, if something happens in this palace, his hot-tempered brother may not be able to do something. It's better to be cautious.

Mu Liran returned to his dormitory, and Mu Wan groomed herself. Sure enough, as soon as Mu Wan saw Mu Liran, she began to think about it.

"Miss! You're worried about me! ”

"Miss! What really happened last night? ”

"It's all because Mu Wan is not good, she didn't protect Miss, and Miss was frightened."

"Miss......"

"Alright, concentrate on your business." Mu Liran was so noisy, and suddenly his head hurt, although he used to do a lot of things to sleep on the street, but now that he is a princess, he is idle in the palace all day, and his physical fitness has dropped a lot. It's just that I didn't sleep well all night, and from the next day, my head hurts like this. Mu Liran raised her hand and rubbed her temples, but this action still caused Mu Wan's distress.

"Does Miss have a headache! I'm going to call the Imperial Doctor!" With that, he hurriedly walked towards the door, but was stopped by Mu Liran.

"I'm fine, I don't need to make such a fuss." Mu Liran stopped what he was doing, and after seeing that Mu Wan was no longer worried, he began to think back to last night's events.

The non-poisonous black snake last night was obviously done on purpose, who this person was, Mu Liran naturally understood it very well in his heart. "Wen Sisi, so in a hurry? Then let me see how much more you can do. Okay, I'll leave it for you later. Mu Liran hooked her lips enough, and the inevitable smile suddenly stunned Mu Wan, who was helping her with her makeup. But since her own lady had already said it just now, don't make a fuss, so she didn't ask out loud.

Wen Sisi bit her lip and sat unwillingly in the hall of Jinyun Palace. Concubine Wen on the side took a sip of tea, her demeanor was dignified, and she didn't see any bad emotions at all. In the harem of the Qin State, the matter of the six palaces is all decided by the four imperial concubines of Gui, Xian, Shu and De, and the head of these four concubines is Concubine Wen. Wen Sisi naturally didn't understand how much bloody her sister had gone through in exchange for the position of a concubine. But now, what she doesn't understand even more is, why did her sister send someone to release a non-poisonous little snake last night? If you release poison, as long as you can poison Mu Liran, then the best candidate for the position of Princess Zhan is herself.

Concubine Wen has a lot of experience in this harem, and she has seen all kinds of women. Seeing through the mind of a little girl who has not yet been involved in the world is naturally simple. Concubine Wen raised her hand and motioned for everyone to go down, then pulled Wen Sisi to sit on the bed and lowered her voice.

"Are you blaming my sister, why didn't you cut the grass and eradicate the roots of last night's incident?" Concubine Wen is still the one who has nothing to do with herself, and is as gentle as jade, as if what she said has nothing to do with her.

Wen Sisi raised her head when she heard this, and just as she wanted to say something, she was covered by Wen Guifei.

"Shhh When the figure outside disappeared, Concubine Wen let go, and then said in a low voice: "That Mu Liran is the most precious person in Zhan Cangming, and this entry into the palace is the idea of you and me." If this is the first day of entering the palace, he will lose his life. My good sister, tell me, who is the first person to suspect when the prince of war investigates? Concubine Wen smiled, looked at Wen Sisi's expression of sudden realization, and then continued: "Yesterday was just a small warning to her, and the next thing is the main thing." Concubine Wen pursed her lips and smiled, what was hidden in this smile, Wen Sisi could see it clearly. She knew that this was no longer the simple and kind sister she had before entering the palace, but she didn't hate it. In order to get Zhan Cangming, she can give everything.

On the second day, Wen Sisi and Wen Guifei did not act, they knew that the incident on the first day had aroused Zhan Lingxuan's suspicions, but Zhan Lingxuan suppressed the matter in order to prevent his younger brother from startling the snake.

The calm of the second and third days made Zhan Ling Xuan feel more and more that it was just an accident that day. I slowly relaxed my vigilance.

On the night of the fourth day, the Wen sisters began their next move.

"Miss, the emperor has sent an edict to invite you to talk about it." Mu Wan took the edict sent by her father-in-law in the palace and said to Mu Liran, who was about to go to bed.

"So late? What is the matter with Zhan Ling Xuan looking for me? Although Mu Liran didn't have much of a good impression of Ling Xuan, after all, he was the king of a country, and the order still couldn't be abolished. He redressed himself and went to Zhan Ling Xuan's imperial study. Concubine Wen's insider told the Wen sisters about this, and they knew that the action could begin.
