Chapter 87

The atmosphere in the room seemed to be frozen, time seemed to stand still, everything was quiet, Mo Yu shifted his gaze to other places, and did not reply for a long time.

Seeing that Mo Yu didn't say a word, the Queen Mother didn't continue to ask, but picked up the Buddha beads on the ground again and slowly turned them in the palm of her hand.

The silence in the room seems to have been broken, it seems that nothing has just happened, and the Buddha beads in the queen mother's hand collide with a crisp sound, which is particularly clear in the house.

The Queen Mother muttered scriptures that Mo Yu didn't understand, her eyes were slightly closed, and her face was pure with a peaceful and pious expression, which blended with the swirling smoke.

For a while, it seemed that everything was on track, and it seemed that something was quietly changing, and the relationship between Mo Yu and the Queen Mother was a little delicate.

He was obviously found by the eldest princess to relieve the worries of the Queen Mother and take care of her phoenix body, but now that I think about it, the Queen Mother's depression seems to be a little mixed with water!

No matter how Mo Yu guessed on the side, his mind was confused, the Queen Mother's face still did not change, the Buddha beads in her hand kept turning, the smoking incense had burned to the end, and those unknown scriptures filled the entire room.

Mo Yu glanced at the Queen Mother with complicated eyes, still the same as usual, Mo Yu is now more and more unable to see through the Queen Mother, as if he accidentally touched the bottom of the sea and discovered a deeper level, and he couldn't help but worry a little more about what he didn't know.

But under such concerns, Mo Yu became more and more interested in the Queen Mother and herself, what kind of skin was hidden under her dignified, virtuous, kind and pious face?

The incense has been completely exhausted, the incense ashes are soft and collapsed, gathered together, and there is still a little residual heat, with a little spark, quietly burning, and then disappearing.

Yin Chenglu stayed in Yuqing Palace night and night, this matter is already known to everyone in the palace, and now the momentum of 'Su Rao's exclusive favor has overwhelmed the previous Su Yuan, every day, those nobles who came to tie the knot are carrying big and small things, with a hypocritical smile, and come to have a relationship with Mu Yan.

Mu Yan didn't rely on his current favor, but behaved in the palace, so he was relatively low-key, and he would not arouse the jealousy of other harem women, although it was superficial, it was relatively peaceful.

The entrance of Yuqing Palace was not eroded by the night at all, and a few lanterns hung swayed to expel the darkness, and the guards at the door stood straight, not daring to relax and guard this palace.

The sky gradually became dark, Yin Chenglu was a little cool as usual, and a cool wind was brought in, blowing into the house, the wick that was originally burning quietly on the table was a little crooked, and the flames were also shaky and unstable.

Mu Yan was wearing a thin coat on his body, he sat next to the table, heard the sound of the door, stood up, greeted him, took the coat on Yin Chenglu's body, and placed it on the side.

"What do you want to play today?"

Yin Chenglu sat on one side casually, such a somewhat dull yellow environment made people can't help but relax their vigilance, and the fatigue of the day can be regarded as somewhat relieved, his voice couldn't help but ease a little, and the corners of his mouth said with a shallow smile.

Mu Yan smiled back, did not answer in a hurry, but picked up the musical instrument that he had prepared long ago, held it in his arms, plucked his fingers slightly, and a few shallow tones came out.

The instrument in his arms is a round shape, and the neatly arranged strings are tightly taut on the top, ready to play different tones at any time.

Mu Yan sat on a chair on one side, the skirt on his body touched the ground, like a waterfall, falling diagonally and spreading on the ground.

The nails were tightly clasped on the strings, and a reddish mark was printed on the fingertips, and notes of different heights flowed under the fingertips, slowly flowing down Mu Yan's fingertips to Yin Chenglu's heart.

Yin Chenglu closed his eyes slightly, feeling the unique silence of the night, such a life without intrigue, more like an ordinary family, he couldn't help but let people take off all their armor, feel the quiet time wholeheartedly, and let go of all the burdens in their hearts.

Time passed minute by minute, and the loss under Mu Yan's hands was extremely fast, and after the song was over, the silence in the room was restored, and Mu Yan gently put the musical instrument in his hand on one side and sat opposite Yin Chenglu.

"It's really getting better and better day by day." After Yin Chenglu listened to it, he was a little unsatisfied, but the time was a little late, if it was still early, he would definitely listen to a few more songs, and couldn't help but praise it heartily.

"Wait for tomorrow, and change to a new tune, maybe it will be better than today." Mu Yan's face did not look complacent after being praised, but a little more modest, and said with a smile.

Night after night, the nobles of other palaces have already arranged special maids to guard the outside of Yuqing Palace, observe the situation on this side, and report back at any time.

Mu Yan got up early in the morning and finished dressing up, there were always nobles outside the door, and from time to time there would be a few people from nearby palaces, walking to the vicinity of Yuqing Palace, and seeing Su Rao, who came out, pretended to be a coincidence, and walked over.

"It's a coincidence today, my sister is also here to enjoy the flowers." A relatively faceless noble man walked over, Mu Yan raised his head when he heard the voice, looked at the delicate face, and couldn't remember where he had seen this face for a while.

"Well, it's better to look at the sunshine today, so just come out and have a look." Mu Yan and the noble man in front of him had nothing to talk about at all, the corners of his mouth twitched, his smile was stiff, and he said casually.

"I have time to come to my sister's palace to play, a small pastry just came out during this time, sweet but not greasy, my sister will definitely like it." The noble man saw the perfunctory on Mu Yan's face, but he still gritted his teeth, took a few steps forward, and continued to talk.

"Yes, okay." Mu Yan's mind was a little empty, and he couldn't think of any suitable reason to leave here, these women were just here to get close to themselves, or to inquire about Yin Chenglu, nodded and responded softly.

"Uh, hehe, then, then sister will go back first." The noble man thought for a long time, didn't know what to say, looked at the boring look on Mu Yan's face, laughed dryly, and left in a sneer.

Every day is probably like the same cycle, every night, there is nothing very necessary, Yin Chenglu almost came to Yuqing Palace at the same hour or so, and chatted with Mu Yan for a while.

This time Yin Chenglu came a little late, Mu Yan was a little drowsy, until the sound of the wooden door creaked, dispelled all those sleepiness, and stood up as usual to welcome Yin Chenglu's arrival.

A few side dishes on the table, the color is not as shiny as when it was first served, but fortunately, the taste has not changed, two people sit on both sides, pour the wine that has been prepared a long time ago, the two glasses are light color, the wine is a little cloudy, shaky, and exudes a fragrance.

"By the way, I've heard that those livestock were used as sharp weapons on the battlefield before." No matter what he talked about, Mu Yan could always respond to a few words, and he was very happy to chat with Yin Chenglu.

"I've also heard that some of them are tied to the bodies of poultry, so that the enemy can only care about the incoming army, and not the poultry with sharp weapons."

Mu Yan heard something, nodded, took a few sips of wine, and the dishes on the plate were not touched much, so he put them there, and said.

"I've heard that there is also a strange creature that seems to be able to take root and walk around." Mu Yan paused for a moment and talked about the strange things he had heard in his ordinary life.

"That's also strange, this world is so big, it's really strange." Yin Chenglu, who has been staying in the palace, is busy with official business, and rarely has time to listen to such things.

After a little drinking, the two of them removed the dishes that had not touched a few points, sat on the side of the table, and began to play.

"No, this piece can't be played here." Mu Yan was just about to make a move, but was stopped by Yin Chenglu, pointed to another place, and said with a frown.

Yin Chenglu felt very comfortable in his heart, unlike those other ministers, who played chess pieces in a decent manner, and played chess with Mu Yan, always feeling that his heart would unconsciously relax.

"Then put it here." Mu Yan looked at the chess pieces that were surrounded by layers in distress, the hand holding the chess pieces changed direction, landed in another empty place, and said in a shallow voice.

"If you attack from here, you can't land here." Yin Chenglu picked up the chess pieces that Mu Yan had put down again, put them on the side, and patiently explained.

"Well, it should be here." Mu Yan understood quickly, and after a while, he understood what Yin Chenglu meant, took back the chess piece from Yin Chenglu's broad palm, put it outside the encirclement, and said with a bit of pride on his face.

"Well, this time it's not wrong." Yin Chenglu had appreciation in his eyes, Mu Yan was relatively smart, and he didn't need more advice, he knew the mystery of this, and said softly.

The two of them are not very bored in such a night, occasionally listening to Mu Yan's new compositions, occasionally sitting together, talking for an hour or two, or, setting up an empty chessboard, quietly playing against each other.

Yin Chenglu likes "Su Rao" more and more in his heart, but this liking is more because of the multiple similarities between "Su Rao" and Mu Yan in his heart.

Every time Yin Chenglu stayed, it would attract the jealousy of other palace women, after all, the king was favored, and not everyone would have such a good opportunity.

Such a day was imagined in countless dreams by Mu Yan when he was still in Yunyang Palace, but now it has become a reality in such an identity and such a situation, so ironic......
