"Wouldn't it be nice to finally find the roster in the underground palace and quietly send it to the emperor, why bother to make a birthday banquet that is eye-catching? Now that everyone knows that the roster is in your hands, I guess there are far more people who will count on you than I do. ”

Standing in the main hall of the Qinglian Palace, which had been cleaned and rejuvenated, Yan Li complained sullenly.

Wen Moqing and Lou Qianhan and other senior brothers broke up unhappily before, and for some reason, Lou Qianhan didn't come to trouble her. In order to find what they wanted and leave here as soon as possible, Yan Liwu, Wen Moqing, and Bi Xiao simply ate and lived in the underground palace, staring at the map and searching all night, and only when Yin Junbai came to send food and drink could they breathe a breath of fresh air. It can be regarded as their luck, the huge and complicated Qinglian Palace underground palace search was less than a quarter before they found the treasure, which was the roster that Wen Moqing asked for at the beginning.

However, to the surprise of the three of them, the roster can no longer be discussed in the book, but in the pile, more than 40 volumes are stacked in three stacks, which are densely filled with names of people and all kinds of private gifts and conspiracy collusion.

"If these officials do not make their crimes public, I don't know how many more people will be swallowed up, and how many innocent people will die in vain. Under the plaque of honesty and dedication, how many people are still clean? Bi Xiao was indignant, but he also understood that he could not do anything about this matter, and if he wanted to clear the court and set things right, he had to take action from Wen Jingyuan, who was the emperor.

It's just that Wen Jingyuan's reply to Wen Moqing is really incredible.

"The ninth day of the first month is my father's birthday, and the emperor held a banquet in Qinglian Palace to congratulate my father on his birthday in the name of celebrating, and at the same time there was news that the roster was still in my hands. On the surface, the emperor made a confused decision, planning to use the roster as bait to lure the snake out of the hole, but in fact, there is a deeper calculation. Wen Moqing didn't complain about Wen Jingyuan's arrangement, and took out something like a bill and pushed it in front of Bi Xiao, "Ranxue Pavilion has made a lot of money this year, and this money is enough for them to get in two or three years." ”

Bi Xiao took the paper and looked at it twice, and was so shocked that it took a long time to react: "Isn't this the order receipt voucher of the Life and Death Book of the Ranxue Pavilion?" A total of 29 civil and military generals of the fourth rank and above were killed, and 47 people were relatives of the emperor and powerful ministers and nobles...... Oh my God, who is so bold and generous? Your Majesty? If you ask the Ranxue Pavilion to make a move, it's not enough to have a hundred thousand taels, right? ”

"Fifty thousand taels of gold, two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, and several rare treasures in the palace, including the famous sword Yuanhe, the total price is several times that of gold and silver." Wen Moqing stretched out her hand, and after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't figure out how many fingers to compare, so she was stunned and had to put it down. Glancing at the stunned Yan Liwu, Wen Moqing was a little disgusted: "Why isn't your life so valuable?" Even if I can exchange it for Yuan and the sword, I don't have to turn my face with Senior Brother Lou. ”

Yan Liwu rolled his eyes: "It's also the head of five thousand taels, and if you take it to the surnamed Lou, you can exchange it for at least a few years of food and clothing, I'm afraid you won't be reluctant." ”

"Naturally, I can't get a copper plate when I hand it over to the Ranxue Pavilion, so it's better to give you to the second prince, so I can ask for some money to subsidize the cost on you."

Bi Xiao was not interested in participating in the discussion about the selling price of Yan Li, so he sat alone in a daze for a long time, and said to himself: "With such a large amount of business, the subordinates of the Ranxue Pavilion will definitely not be able to run around, so the emperor found an excuse to gather everyone to the Qinglian Palace to facilitate the senior brother of the building to catch them all?" It's really insidious and vicious. But this is good for us, Senior Brother Lou is busy with this big business, and probably has no time to plan for the worries. ”

Wen Moqing let out a faint "um", and a hint of ridicule flashed in the corner of his eyes: "Anyway, Wunian will come, and the fox will probably come with the smell, in order to protect their master, the two of them will definitely do their best to ensure that there are no accidents." ”

"Boss Jun and Young Master Chu will also come? Before the words ...... asked, Yan Liwu had already begun to feel his heart beating faster, half expectant, half nervous.

"Junzilou's influence is far greater than you know, the opportunity to make friends with Senior Brother Lou and Senior Brother Mu is hard to come by, how can someone who wants to compete for the throne miss this opportunity? Wu Nian is far-sighted and well-planned, and he will definitely bring the four princes to get acquainted, as for Chu Ci and the second prince - I said, those who seek great business will definitely not miss the birthday banquet. ”

Wen Moqing knew that Yan Li wanted to hear him say that Wen Moshu was here for her, but he didn't say it, deliberately avoided Yan Li's sad and resentful gaze, and quickly changed the topic: "The people on the roster should be very afraid of being exposed, and there will be no fewer people stealing the roster in the past few days; There is also the day of the birthday banquet, it is not excluded that some people are desperate to break the net, and several of the generals who hold military power are even more of a great hidden danger, so the emperor will make up his mind to cut off the disaster with one sword, choose outside the imperial capital and ask the Ranxue Pavilion to take action at a high price, which is not only guaranteed but also can push the charge of killing important ministers away. In short, this birthday banquet is full of dangers, you two should be careful. ”

Bi Xiao inhaled deeply and nodded vigorously.

In fact, Bi Xiao originally wanted Yan Liwu to leave Qinglian Palace temporarily, but after thinking about it, Wen Moqing, who was the protagonist of the game, must stay here, if Yan Liwu left alone, who could protect her from being attacked by Lou Qianhan? With her kung fu no matter what, she can't resist the best senior brother in Junzilou's kung fu, it is better to stay in peace, with her and Wen Mo's affection, it is safer to be free from worries.

In the next few days, as Wen Moqing expected, almost every day and night, someone tried to steal the roster, Bi Xiao only protected Yan and left his worries, those who didn't understand the situation in the rivers and lakes and focused on jumping over the wall casually invited some killers who didn't enter the stream, and the strongest couldn't withstand Wen Moqing's five tricks, so they didn't need help at all.

On the fourth day, Jun Wunian escorted Wen Mozheng, Chu Ci and Wen Moshu, and the two carriages arrived one after another.

Jun Wunian didn't ask about the roster, and after greeting a few words about the birthday banquet arrangement, he took Wen Mozheng to see Mu Jiuge and Lou Qianhan, Chu Ci was so idle that he went to Qinglian Palace to wander around, Wen Moshu was not surprised, as soon as he arrived at the place, he seemed to take root under his feet, standing beside Yan Liwu and refusing to move.

"Aren't you going to see what's going on elsewhere?" Yan Li glared at Wen Moqing worriedly.

"No, someone will take care of it."

"What about the roster? Beware of theft. ”

"It's been hidden."

"There are birthday greetings coming one after another, so let's go to meet and receive congratulatory gifts!"

"Bi Xiao will be responsible."

No matter how she makes excuses, she will be blocked by Wen Moqing, let her eyes be sour, her mouth is dry, and her desire to be alone with Wen Mo is not realized, Wen Moqing is still dangling in front of her with a leisurely appearance.

That night, Wen Moshu was embarrassed between the two of them, and in the end, Bi Xiao couldn't look at it and dragged Wen Moqing away, and after leaving the room, he was reprimanded by Wen Moqing.

"Senior brother, is there too much care? Jin Lan and I have not interfered with who she is with, but my senior brother interferes and blames me for blocking it, don't you want to think about why Bi Sheng is angry and leaves? In this matter, it is indeed the fault of the senior brother. Bi Xiao rarely spoke for Bi Sheng, thinking about the back of Bi Sheng crying and leaving that day, she couldn't help sighing, "Senior brother keeps saying that he doubts about leaving worries or something, but every time something happens, he protects Li Wei the most, sometimes even I have to wonder if my senior brother has any feelings for Li Wei, I don't know what outsiders who belong to her heart will think?" If Senior Brother hadn't behaved too obviously and refused to explain it properly, Senior Brother Lou wouldn't have such a big prejudice against Liwu. ”

"What love thinks is their business, I promised that I would ensure that she returned to the second prince safely, and I can't break my promise because of other people's rumors."

"What's the matter with the senior brother always making trouble between Liwu and the second prince?" Bi Xiao was not in a hurry or impatient, and softly pierced the nail in Wen Moqing's heart.

It's just that she and Wen Moshu are not happy together, can you answer so directly? Wen Moqing had this impulse, and finally chose to avoid it rationally, and by the way, he broke off thinking about this issue - he was worried that if he continued to investigate, he would fall into it, and he couldn't find the reason, but he couldn't get rid of it.

So let's keep it simple, protect her, and send her away.

In the room a few steps away, Yan Liwu and Wen Moshu didn't know that there had just been a dispute outside, and after carefully diagnosing Wen Moshu's pulse, Yan Liwu showed a shallow smile: "It's much more stable than the last time I saw you, and the amount of medicinal tea can be appropriately reduced, and you can nourish it slowly." ”

"I follow the advice of the goddess doctor, I don't dare to catch a cold, I don't dare to be tired, my diet is regular and quantitative every day, and I don't dare to change the medicine I take casually, so as a reward, I rewarded myself for a few days of leisure to give Yuan Wang a birthday." Wen Mo joked kindly, and his bright eyes never left his worried face.

Suddenly, when we got together again, I had nothing to say, I lost my mind slightly, and I was startled when something was handed over.

"I saw it at the Imperial Capital Market when I came, and I thought it would be beautiful for you to bring it, so I bought it." Wen Moshu spread out his palms, a pair of delicately made silver earrings reflected the soft light of the oil lamp, and the chic tassel shape was low-key and elegant. Wen Moshu lifted the hair on the side of Yan Li's ear with one hand, carefully buttoned the earrings through the piercing with the other hand, turned to the front to take a closer look, and his smile was as soft and warm as the clouds in the summer sun: "It's really suitable, like your character, unassuming, but it can be remembered at a glance." ”

"It has to be remembered by the good guys, and it's bad if it becomes a thorn in the side of the bad guys." Covering up his slight shyness with jokes, he didn't dare to touch the earrings when he was worried, for fear that one would accidentally touch them and break them.

The pendant embedded in broken silver, the ingenious earrings, everything Wen Mo gave her was a treasure, and she was reluctant to let others take a look.

The two of them didn't have a long time to be alone, and after saying a few words, someone knocked on the door outside, and Chu Ci, who shouldn't have appeared, smiled like jade, and squeezed at the door to prevent the depressed words from closing the door: "Your Highness, let go of the moon before the flowers, and let go of the sea vow mountain alliance first." The restaurant across the street has already prepared food, Boss Jun and the four princes are there, and His Royal Highness should also go to meet those famous people on the rivers and lakes. I paid a lot of money for this opportunity, even if His Royal Highness is not interested in making friends with people, then I should keep an eye on the fourth prince and not let him provoke any vicious people. ”

Chu Ci used Wen Mozheng as bait, Wen Moshu couldn't say no, nodded helplessly, and left with him after saying goodbye.

About half an hour later, Chu Ci returned alone, and knocked on the door of Yan Li's room again with the smell of spirits all over his body.

"Your Highness has drunk two glasses of wine, and I will probably spend the night there tonight, so I specially asked Chu to tell Miss Yan, and it just so happens that I also have something to say to Miss Yan." Faced with the "I don't want to listen" expression of Yan Liyu, Chu Ci seemed to be gone.

The corners of his lips curled up elegantly, and he frowned slightly in his pale eyes, Chu Ci smiled, but people couldn't feel any smile.

"On the way here, His Royal Highness encountered an ambush, and it was not expected that it should be Concubine Yun's person, so Chu had to say something. Please stop being selfish, Your Highness has been implicated by you. If Miss Yan is dissatisfied or puzzled by what Chu said, you might as well ask yourself - Miss Yan, is your good impression of His Highness because you like His Highness a certain point, or is it just because you covet His Highness's gentleness? ”
