Mu Liran walked into the imperial study and saw Zhan Lingxuan who was annotating and folding. Mu Liran saluted, didn't say anything, then found a wooden chair next to him and sat down, quietly waiting for Zhan Ling Xuan to finish his official business.

Zhan Ling Xuan was not in a hurry, and after raising his head to signal, he lowered his head and continued to do his own thing. The two were speechless. After waiting for about a pillar of incense, Zhan Ling Xuan finished the fold in his hand.

He raised his head and looked at the sleepy Mu Liran in front of him, and shouted softly: "War Princess." ”

Mu Liran rubbed his sleepy eyes, only to find that Zhan Ling Xuan was finally busy. Answer: "Yes." ”

"About that day, how did you ...... about the snake encounter in the middle of the night" Before Zhan Ling Xuan could say the word "look", there was a strong wind outside. All the candles in the house were extinguished in an instant. The entire study room was instantly plunged into darkness. The two did not panic, but stayed in place and called each other lightly in order to confirm each other's location. Zhan Ling Xuan realized that this gust of wind was coming strangely, and I was afraid that something was going to happen. Immediately after that, a few cold lights flashed and flew in the direction of Mu Liran. Mu Liran reacted in time and dodged to the side. Unexpectedly, it flashed to the top of the imperial table. For a time, the books flew in large numbers, confusing people's vision.

Mu Liran lifted his breath lightly, jumped up, and turned the table back with one hand, the cumbersome palace clothes did not affect Mu Liran's agility, drawing a beautiful arc in the air. Mu Liran touched the ground with one foot, and found a cold light coming straight towards him on the left side. It's too late! Mu Liran was just about to dodge when he felt someone grab his arm and pull him to the side.

Before he could react, he was pulled by the man, and then the sound of the blade cutting through the sleeve of his shirt echoed in his ears, and then Mu Liran smelled the smell of blood alone.

"Hiss......" The man's whispering voice sounded like pain. The sound of the wind outside the window gradually became quieter, and the moonlight outside the window shone in and shone on the faces of the two. Mu Liran realized that it was Zhan Lingxuan who had just saved himself! She was taken aback, and quickly helped Zhan Lingxuan sit down, and lit the candle again. only to realize that it was not himself who was cut by the sharp blade just now, but the man in front of him.

"You ......" Mu Liran just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Zhan Ling Xuan. If you weren't your beloved today, I wouldn't have saved you. Zhan Ling Xuan had a cold face and carefully checked his wounds, fortunately, the blade was non-poisonous. Mu Liran didn't continue to say anything, and forcefully tore off a piece of fabric from his skirt and began to stop Zhan Ling Xuan's bleeding. After the bandaging was completed, the guards below rushed into the imperial study in a panic and asked about Zhan Ling Xuan's safety.

"Your Majesty! It's too late for subordinates to save the car! Please, the king, punish the sin! The leader of the guards knelt down on one knee, looking ashamed. Zhan Ling Xuan changed his past romantic temperament, his face was solemn, and the cold in his eyes was full of fear.

"Is my Qin royal family raising you waste?" Zhan Ling Xuan's voice was not loud, but every word shocked the ears of the group of people in front of him, making people tremble and silent.

"Just tonight, find out the mastermind behind the scenes, otherwise none of you will be missing the crimes that should be punished." Zhan Ling Xuan's arm was still oozing blood, and just as he wanted to open his mouth to declare the imperial doctor, he heard the sound of a woman arguing outside.

"Let Hongu in! Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Concubine Wen pushed each other outside the door with the guards guarding outside the door. shouted at Zhan Ling Xuan loudly, and his originally warm and beautiful voice was now mixed with sharpness and anxiety.

Zhan Ling Xuan frowned as if he understood something when he heard this voice, and said, "Let her in." ”

Concubine Wen carried the hem of her skirt and trotted briskly into the imperial study. But even so, the pace was not flustered at all, and the elegance of the demeanor seemed to be engraved in the bones, which made Mu Liran on the side also a little admired.

"Your Majesty! The concubine heard that there was an assassin in the imperial study at night, so she rushed over without a moment's rest......" Before Concubine Wen finished speaking, she saw the bandaging on Zhan Ling Xuan's arm, and shouted: "This! Your Majesty! Who is so vicious?! When Concubine Wen said this, she actually cried a little, Zhan Ling Xuan didn't answer her words, and said to the guard in front of her: "Did you understand what I said just now?" Why don't you go soon? Only then did everyone react and began to search inside and outside the door of this imperial study.

Immediately, Zhan Lingxuan summoned the imperial doctor again and re-treated the wound, after Mu Liran saw that Zhan Lingxuan was fine, he was ready to leave, who did today's matter, Mu Liran didn't need to think about it, the answer was already obvious, Zhan Lingxuan called someone to search like this, but also to see what tricks he would play next.

After half a pillar of incense, someone found the short dagger that stabbed Zhan Ling Xuan in the bookshelf of the imperial study just now, and immediately reported it to Zhan Ling Xuan. Zhan Lingxuan picked up the dagger, but found that this dagger turned out to be an antique that he gave to his younger brother a few days ago, before entering the palace, Zhan Cangming handed it to Mu Liran, so that she could have a thought, but she didn't expect that it was this dagger that stabbed herself.

Concubine Wen rushed in front of Zhan Ling Xuan and let out a coquettish exclamation: "This! Isn't this thing the princess of war? Could it be ......" Concubine Wen Guifei intended to guide, but it was a pity that Zhan Ling Xuan knew who was the mastermind of this matter, and her intentional guidance was more like a joke in Zhan Ling Xuan's Mu Liran's eyes.

"How did the concubine know that my plaything was lost in the palace a few days ago? It's easy for me to find. I didn't expect it to be stolen by this thief. Mu Liran pretended to be surprised and innocent, his face was full of disappointment and sadness, he raised his hand to cover his lips lightly, and looked aggrieved, so no one could continue to question.

"It's been a while since the princess of war lost this plaything, and she came to tell me that she wouldn't do it again, but she didn't expect it to be returned in this way." Zhan Lingxuan put on a thoughtful look, and suddenly looked at Wen Guifei, who seemed to tremble in her heart, her eyes widened, and she was full of fear. "How did Concubine Ai know that this dagger belonged to Princess War?" Zhan Lingxuan pretended to be puzzled and asked Wen Guifei, and Wen Guifei's hand that was massaging Zhan Lingxuan suddenly stiffened. I didn't know what to reply.

"This ...... The concubine also learned by chance......" Concubine Wen smiled slightly, trying to use this smile to cover up her embarrassment.

What kind of person is Concubine Wen, Zhan Lingxuan couldn't be clearer, the ambition of the Wen family, how can he not understand, this woman's means are clever enough to sit on the position of this concubine, but after a country, Zhan Lingxuan will never give it away. Especially can't give this posterior position to this Concubine Wen.

Mu Liran on the side opened his mouth at this time: "I brought it with me one day before, and I asked Concubine Wen Guifei to say goodbye, and my sister knew it at that time." Mu Liran smiled gently, not like her usual style.

Zhan Lingxuan was puzzled, and Concubine Wen was even more puzzled, why did Mu Liran suddenly speak out to help? But at this time, Concubine Wen was not allowed to think again, so she had to take what she said. "Yes, yes...... Look at my memory, my sister said very much. ”

"The matter of entering the palace to assassinate can't end like this, I will investigate this matter strictly and give an explanation to Princess Zhan." Although Zhan Ling Xuan's words were said to the guards below, the content of his words meant something.

"It's not too early, Liran will retire first." Mu Liran raised her lips, as if she felt that tonight's play was really not in vain.

"The concubines serve the king and go to bed." After saying that, Concubine Wen stood up, raised her hands, and prepared to change Zhan Lingxuan's clothes.

"No need, Concubine Ai should go back and rest earlier." Zhan Ling Xuan waved his hand, his attitude was a little impatient, Wen Guifei's face was full of disappointment, but there was no way, so she had to go back to the palace to rest and make plans again.

Zhan Ling Xuan did not return the dagger to Mu Liran, after all, this drama was not over.

When Mu Liran returned to the dormitory, it was already three o'clock. It was late at night, all the attendants had already slept, and only Mu Wan knew that Mu Liran had not returned to the palace yet, so she had been waiting at the palace gate.

"Miss!" Just seeing Mu Liran's figure, Mu Wan couldn't wait to shout, Mu Liran didn't answer after hearing the voice, but just raised a finger in front of her lips, signaling Mu Wan not to make a sound.

Mu Wan saw Mu Liran's gesture, and was instantly silent, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Mu Liran into the room. Mu Liran looked a little tired, although tonight's incident was nothing to Mu Liran, but, so late at night, if you want to talk about spirit, you still can't stand it. Mu Wan wanted to ask something, but seeing that Mu Liran was so tired, she didn't continue to say anything, but just quietly served Mu Liran to bathe and change clothes.

After Mu Liran stayed under Mu Wan's service, Mu Wan went to the side hall to rest. Mu Liran lay on the bed by himself, his eyes closed, although he was weak and couldn't lift his spirits, but he didn't feel sleepy. She slowly recalled what had happened in the past few days, from releasing the snake to today's assassination and framing, she knew that the Wen family's methods were far from being so simple, although today's incident did not cause a catastrophe, but she had already seen the blood, what would happen next time, she couldn't say, the only thing she was glad about was that this matter did not reach Zhan Cangming's ears for the time being, otherwise according to his character, it would definitely cause an uproar. If it really happens, then there will be chaos inside and outside the palace. She didn't want Zhan Cangming to disturb the order of Zhan Qin because of herself. After all, the prestige of the Wen family in the Qin State is not low, if Zhan Cangming knew that the Wen family sisters were targeting him, he would definitely openly oppose the Wen family, then he didn't know what he wanted to see, not to mention that Zhan Lingxuan's cold eyes were relative today, which had already shown Zhan Lingxuan's attitude.

However, it has never been something Mu Liran would do, and she, who has been self-respecting and self-reliant since she was a child, how can she tolerate these two women spreading wild on her head? The inaction of the previous few days does not show that she does not care at all. It's just that she thinks it's not time yet, but if she hasn't taken action now, it's not Mu Liran's character. Thinking of this, she turned over, as if she had thought of some brilliant idea, hooked her lips slightly, and when sleepiness hit, she gradually fell asleep.

In the early morning of the second day, Mu Liran got up early in the morning. Mu Wan is also alert, not long after Mu Liran got up, Mu Wan heard the movement, also got up, hurriedly dressed and freshened up, and ran to Mu Liran's house in a panic.

"Your ears work well, too." After Mu Liran got up, he didn't get out of bed. just sat quietly on the bed, as if thinking about something, and when she saw Mu Wan's panicked appearance, she knew that this girl must have heard the movement, so she hurriedly got up.

"Why did Miss get up so early today?" Mu Wan picked up the basin on the shelf, and prepared to go out to fetch water and freshen up Mu Liran.

"I have something to explain to you. Let's go fetch water and come back. Mu Liran waved his hand and motioned for Mu Wan to do things first. Mu Wan looked puzzled, but she didn't ask much, because she knew that her young lady hated people with broken mouths the most. After digging the well water from the well, Mu Wan hurriedly trotted back, for fear that Mu Liran would wait a little longer.
