"How's the attitude of the guards? Is it fierce and vicious, or is it polite? ”

Mu Liran continued to ask, wanting to guess Zhan Ling Xuan's intentions.

The person who came to deliver the message hurriedly responded to Mu Liran's question: "It doesn't seem to be particularly respectful, and he also said that if the prince doesn't follow now, they will come in and invite someone." ”

Say "please", if I break in, I guess I will be arrested.

Mu Liran didn't expect Zhan Ling Xuan to do this suddenly, turning his face faster than a woman.

She was worried about Zhan Cangming's safety, afraid that he would be imprisoned by Zhan Lingxuan like last time, and it would be difficult for him to work hard at that time.

"Or just find a few reasons, say that you have something important to do, or that there is a case to ask for investigation." Mu Liran gave Zhan Cangming advice.

However, Zhan Cangming didn't accept it, and first endangered Mu Liran: "You don't have to worry so much, he is my royal brother, and he won't do anything to me no matter what." ”

"That's not necessarily, since ancient times, there have been many cases of fratricidal between royalty. Maybe I would have believed you in the past, but now I don't think so. Sennar didn't know what ecstasy trick he used to fascinate the emperor's mind, and it was difficult to say what he would do. ”

Zhan Cangming frowned: "Even so, Brother Wang himself is a wise person, and he will always come back to his senses. ”

Zamulang has always been very secretive, and it is difficult to say what kind of tricks Sennar can use.

Mu Liran felt that it was better to be safe: "You just listen to me once, if you must enter the palace, then bring me with you, otherwise I don't worry about you going alone." ”

Zhan Cangming frowned: "It's not that I don't want to take you, it's that the current situation is still unclear, and I can't easily let you go on an adventure with me." Just stay in the palace and wait for my news. ”

Waiting like this is the hardest day, Mu Liran has already waited once, and this time I really don't want to continue waiting.

"You just let me follow you, even if the emperor blames me, I will stand up and clarify myself, and I will definitely not implicate you."

Mu Liran was really worried about Zhan Cangming, she didn't want to let Zhan Cangming have something to do at this juncture, otherwise it would be difficult for her to maneuver outside alone.

Seeing Mu Liran insisting so much, Zhan Cangming also hesitated: "It's okay if you want to go, but you have to promise me that you will follow me all the time when you are young, I am afraid that you will be in danger." ”

Because Sennar once wanted Mu Liran's spiritualism, he feared that Sennar hadn't given up on it.

Mu Liran nodded very seriously: "Don't worry, since I followed you, I will never let myself be a burden to you." When the time comes, you only need to take care of yourself, and I can protect myself at the critical moment. ”

Zhan Cangming nodded: "Ghosts have no heart, especially the souls who obey the summons are mostly full of resentment. I still don't want you to use summoning unless I have to. ”

"I know, after all, it's your royal brother, as long as it's someone you don't want to hurt, I won't hurt it."

Zhan Cangming was completely relieved at this time, and went out with Mu Liran and the person who delivered the news.

As soon as the door of the palace opened, Mu Liran saw people outside.

As the messenger said, they were all guards with knives, and there were about twenty of them as far as the eye could see, and all of them looked fierce.

He also said that he was here to invite someone, but he didn't even look like he was inviting someone, more like he was here to collect debts.

After these people saw Zhan Cangming, they didn't salute, but they spoke politely: "Lord, we came to summon you to the palace by the emperor's order, and please come with us, don't delay any longer and make us embarrassed." ”

Zhan Cangming nodded: "Aren't I already ready to leave?" ”

So saying, let the carriage be prepared, intending to go with them.

Mu Liran didn't say a word from beginning to end, and quietly followed behind Zhan Cangming.

"Wait!" The man looked at Mu Liran, raised his hand and stopped Mu Liran: "Lord, the emperor only summoned you, I'm afraid the princess is not suitable to follow." ”

"Why?" Mu Liran was not convinced: "I am good friends with Princess Sennar, and I have always entered the palace with Princess Sennar in the past, can't I enter the palace to see Princess Sennar?" ”

"This..."The man looked very embarrassed: "Please don't let me wait for the princess to do it, it is really the emperor who has ordered that only the prince can enter the palace, and the rest of the people do not have the emperor's edict, and I dare not make decisions without permission." ”

Mu Liran continued: "I didn't say that I was going to follow the prince, I just went the same way, and I would go separately from him when I got to the palace gate, so I won't bother you about this, right?" ”

The guard still refused to let him go: "If the princess wants to enter the palace to see Princess Senar, then please let Princess Sennar's people take you into the palace in person, it is really unruly for you to follow us like this." ”

"Rules?" Mu Liran laughed: "The rules are also set by people, and they can be changed, since I am going to enter the palace before and after, what is the difference between going with you?" ”

"But..."

"Don't do it, rules are dead, people are alive. After I entered the palace, I didn't follow to see the emperor, I just waited at Princess Sennar, what is there to worry about? ”

was told by Mu Liran, but the guard was not so tough.

After a while, he nodded and agreed: "That's okay, the princess can follow, but you must ensure that you can't follow the prince to the emperor." Otherwise, the emperor will blame it, and we can't afford it. ”

Mu Liran nodded: "Don't worry, I'll count." ”

Anyway, she wouldn't act rashly. Since the guards have said so, she can also choose to wait somewhere in the palace and see the situation before making a move.

Anyway, she has seen and known almost all these people serving in the palace, so she has nothing to worry about.

After the guards agreed, Mu Liran followed Zhan Cangming into the carriage.

Zhan Cangming frowned the whole time, and said to Mu Liran: "Are you sure you want to follow?" I always felt a little dangerous. ”

"If it's really dangerous, I should follow you, and if something really happens, there is someone who can help. If I really don't follow, what will you do if Zhan Ling Xuan wants to arrest you again? ”

"If that's the case, we'll just find a way."

Zhan Cangming was very decisive in the face of anyone and everything, but when it came to Zhan Ling Xuan, he always hesitated.

"I'm leaving, can't you reassure me? If you still can't be ruthless against Ling Xuan after I leave, what if he wants to kill you? Which emperor has not been suspicious since ancient times? Listen to me. ”

Zhan Cangming was silent, and after a long time, he replied to Mu Liran: "Well......"

On the way to the palace, the two of them didn't say anything, but Mu Liran kept looking out the window, afraid that these people didn't go to the palace with them.

Fortunately, the road was right, and soon we arrived in front of the palace gate.

After getting out of the carriage, Mu Liran found another small detail, that is, the defense on this side of the palace gate seems to have been tighter recently, and the number of people is obviously much larger than before.

Mu Liran's brows furrowed, and he always felt that something was wrong everywhere.

"Lord Wang, please come with me." The guard led the way for Zhan Cangming, and turned to look at Mu Liran: "Princess, can you continue to follow." ”

Mu Liran nodded, pretending to go elsewhere by himself, and walked in another direction.

In fact, while walking, she also took a look at them from time to time to see if they went to the harem or the direction of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

It wasn't until he saw Zhan Cangming go to the east gate that Mu Liran could be sure that Zhan Cangming had gone to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

If it was the Heart Cultivation Palace, Mu Liran could also rest assured, because in the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhan Ling Xuan might have something to say to Zhan Cangming, and that place was originally a place to discuss government affairs.

Seeing that they were walking away, Mu Liran dared to change directions, and went in the direction where Zhan Cangming and the others had just gone.

She has been to the palace many times, especially the section of the Heart Cultivation Palace, she knows it very well, and it can even be said that she is very familiar with it.

Therefore, she easily avoided the people who led the way just now, and successfully entered the courtyard outside the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Zhan Ling Xuan likes trees and flowers, so there are a lot of flowers and trees planted outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Mu Liran is also very convenient, so he hides behind these trees.

Quietly looking at the door of the palace, the door was guarded by two internal officials, and the door of the hall was half open.

Mu Liran was very puzzled, since he was talking about things, why didn't he even close the door?

Just when Mu Liran was puzzled, he suddenly heard a miserable scream from the Heart Cultivation Palace: "Ah! ”

But after the scream, there was no other movement, and the internal officials guarding outside didn't seem to hear it, and they didn't move.

Mu Liran became more and more strange, such a loud noise, even she heard it from such a distance, and those people guarding the outside were actually indifferent? Aren't you afraid that Zhan Ling Xuan was assassinated inside?

Mu Liran was very worried, and was about to step forward to take a closer look, but someone grabbed her arm.

She quickly turned around and found that this person was Sennar.

"How are you?" Mu Liran didn't expect to meet her at this time.

Senar smiled, quite leisurely: "I came to the Heart Cultivation Hall to have a look, I didn't expect to meet you......

As she spoke, she looked Mu Liran up and down, and said with a smile: "It's still such a scene, it's really interesting."

Mu Liran pretended to be calm: "I am accompanying Zhan Cangming into the palace, but what the two of them said is inconvenient for me to listen." ”

"Really?" Sennar smiled intriguingly: "If the princess follows me in, I see that you are about to become a wangfu stone here, how can I make you so anxious?"

Mu Liran didn't refuse: "The emperor and the prince are talking about business, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the two of us to go, right?"

"What's out of place? You didn't even go in to see it, how do you know if you're talking about something serious and nothing else? ”

Mu Liran already felt very strange, and it was even more strange when she heard Sena's words, there seemed to be something she didn't know about here.

"Then would you like to ask the princess to take me in and have a look?"

Sennar agreed: "What is this?" Just come with me. ”

As she spoke, she and her attendants walked in front, and Mu Liran followed behind.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, those officials Senar respectfully said: "Princess......"

"Open all the doors and let our princess enter in dignity."

The officer bowed down and said yes, and opened the other door as well.
