No matter how unwilling he was, Mu Bingyue still didn't find that person, and the matter was even more troublesome in the palace, Xuanyuan Yi, who couldn't find any clues, was very angry, and immediately removed Commander Mu, but the matter did not go away, two unsolved cases happened in the palace one after another, and they were all related to Mu Bingyue, Xuanyuan Yi couldn't sleep at night, and he sent two monks from the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Officials overnight, and ordered him to investigate the matter thoroughly in the palace. .

The Criminal Department decided to investigate the case, and the Ministry of Officials reviewed the identity information of everyone in the palace, Xuanyuan Yi ** did not sleep, and everyone in the palace was not allowed to rest.

Mu Bingyue is also **sleepless, knowing that someone is arranging a huge conspiracy behind her back, but she still has nothing to do about it, this feeling of powerlessness, she feels it for the first time, Xuanyuan Yiming didn't say anything, but she knew that he was still suspicious of her in his heart, she was alone with the assassin for so long in the soup pool, but she could still retreat under the nose of such an unpredictable assassin, it was incredible to put it on anyone.

But she knew that no matter how she explained it to him, as long as she didn't catch the assassin, he wouldn't believe it, and after the assassin appeared this time, the two fell into a cold war inexplicably.

**Not asleep, thinking chaotically, Mu Bingyue was knocking on his heavy forehead, trying to find clues from his chaotic mind, when he heard Ye Ling, who came in, say, Situ Qing came to see.

She slammed up from her chair, almost suspecting that she was hallucinating, and at this sensitive 'busy' moment, Xuanyuan Yi asked Situ Qing to come here to see her?

General Situ's surrender, she knew, how could Sister Keqing appear in this Xuanyuan Capital, could it be that they also surrendered?

It shouldn't be! According to Linghu Xia's temperament, it is impossible to succumb to the enemy!

There were countless questions in her heart, but Mu Bingyue clearly understood one thing, that is, Situ Qing's arrival was definitely instructed by Xuanyuan Yi, and this made her even more puzzled.

After a few months, the two got together here, which only made people feel like they were separated from each other.

Situ Qing's face was haggard, dressed in a simple blue clothes, and his body was thin, but the discharge area was slightly raised.

The family and country are in trouble, and Sister Qing has no reason to be fat.

Could it be

Mu Bingyue's eyes sank, "Did Xuanyuan Yi force my sister here?" He didn't believe her, so he sent his sister to lure the Assassin for information?

I never thought that Mu Bingyue would call Emperor Xuanyuan so bluntly, Situ Qing, who didn't know how to speak when he entered the house, was stunned at first, and then saw that the rest of the palace maids in the room looked like they were not surprised, so he relieved his heart, opened his mouth but didn't know how to answer.

When Mu Bingyue saw it, she glanced left and right, and said to Ye Ling, "You all go out first." ”

Ye Ling hesitated, saw Mu Bingyue's expression, thought about it and led the palace maid to retreat.

After a while, there were only two people left in the hall, and in the empty and lonely hall, the two were a little silent at the same time.

Situ Qing reluctantly smiled and spoke, "Yue'er has lost a lot of weight." ”

Just an ordinary greeting, Mu Bingyue's eyes were sour, "Did he coerce his sister to come?" ”

Under Mu Bingyue's unbearable gaze, Situ Qing sighed and stroked the bulging catharsis, "No, my sister wanted to come by herself." ”

Obviously there were a lot of things she wanted to ask, but Mu Bingyue looked at Situ Qing's haggard expression but didn't know how to ask.

The king is hostage, the family is captured, the world in front of her is bleak, but she is pregnant, and the torment in Sister Qing's heart is only deeper than the sea.

Situ Qing took out a roll of silk cloth from his sleeve and opened it, and Mu Bingyue saw that it was a jasper lotus hairpin.

When Mu Bingyue opened the Linglong Pavilion, it was Situ Qing who bought the jasper lotus hairpin from her, but later the three of them married Jin Lan, and Situ Qing gave it to Xia Lanxin, who cherished it and kept it with her.

Thinking that it was not only a year later, Xia Lanxin would be separated forever, and the tears in Mu Bingyue's eyes could no longer be suppressed.

"I found the bones of Sister Lan Xin and Renxing in the river."

Mu Bingyue only felt that the jasper lotus hairpin in her hand weighed as much as a thousand catties.

"Lan Xin likes lotus flowers the most, but unfortunately now the lotus flowers have bloomed." Situ Qing seemed to have opened the topic at random, but Mu Bingyue felt that something was wrong.

Lan Xin obviously likes orchids, but why does Sister Qing say that Lan Xin's favorite is lotus?

"When I came, my father also said that I should bring some lotus flowers that the queen likes to pay tribute to the queen, but I haven't found them for a long time."

Although Mu Bingyue couldn't understand why Situ Qing said this, she didn't ask, seeing Situ Qing's eyes scanning the surroundings intentionally or unintentionally, Mu Bingyue knew that she was afraid that someone would overhear, "Is General Situ good?" ”

"My father fell ill after hearing the news of Dingbeihou's death, and now his spirit is not as good as day by day."

Mu Bingyue's heart sank, "I'm sorry." She didn't know what else to say other than that.

Situ Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's not what you want." Since ancient times, women have been the spoils of men's power struggles, and we have no choice. ”

Mu Bingyue didn't know what else she could say.

"When I came, I got the emperor's grace to go and see Nangong Chenlai."

Mu Bingyue knew that Situ Qing could come here, and her identity must be different from before, but she was still a little difficult to accept such a quick identity change, and her throat suddenly choked with bitterness, "Is he okay?" ”

Situ Qing looked at Mu Bingyue deeply and said, "Like a marionette, lifeless." ”

Jade tears kept falling, Situ Qing watched quietly, and bit his lip, "Yue'er became seriously ill after entering the palace, but because she wanted to turn her back on him?" ”

This heavy question was like a thunderbolt passing through Mu Bingyue's heart, she quickly turned around and squeezed the silk cloth in her hand tightly, "Sister Qing, this time is different from the past. ”

Situ Qing's eyes showed a hint of struggle, "Nangong Rui is mediocre, the people are in dire straits, and my sister is loved by the emperor, and I hope for it."

"Say no more." Mu Bingyue interrupted her unfinished words in vain, she knew all these facts, but she didn't expect that even she would come to persuade her now.

Her back was so lonely, Situ Qing silently shut up.

It took a long time for Mu Bingyue's unstable mood to slowly calm down, and Situ Qing didn't speak again, but Mu Bingyue still felt that there was an indescribable estrangement between her and her, "If this is the purpose of your visit, then you can go." Mu Bingyue's tone also cooled down with her heart.

Situ Qing opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something to Mu Bingyue, but looking at Mu Bingyue's cold back, she couldn't speak anymore.

"I'm sorry."

Mu Bingyue didn't turn around when she heard it, refusing to know that this might be the last time she would see her in this life, but this strange apology made her not know how to face it at all.

She thought that as a woman, she should know her difficulties, and as a confidant, she should also know her thoughts, but she didn't want her to be like everyone else.

Situ Qing didn't get a response, closed his eyes bitterly, paused in the hall, and finally left with tears in his eyes.

Ye Ling waited for her to return, she looked at the hairpin in Mu Bingyue's hand and did not speak.

Mu Bingyue suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted, she wrapped the hairpin and put it in the makeup box, and sat silently in front of the bronze mirror.

After searching all over the country without success, Xuanyuan Yi was furious and dismissed several palace positions, which made Hu Youli, who was already unskilled, even more into a hurry, everything was crowded together, and Hu Youyi had to ask Sima Han to go out of the mountain to help.

There are thousands of things to be sorted out, the assassin is still hiding in the palace, even if he has the heart, he is powerless, and the successive dismissals are all high-ranking officials in the palace, vacancies to be filled, and duties to be performed, he can't delay at all. Sima Han has a clear understanding of the situation and the distribution of various talents, and with his help, he can also save a lot of time.

Sima Han did not shirk Hu Youli's request for help, and the assassin was buried in the palace, and he also wanted to find the real culprit as soon as possible.

The two began to sort out the chaos in the palace after a good discussion, and when they heard the news that Mu Bingyue had met with General Situ's daughter, the two stopped what they were doing at the same time.

Situ Qing had nothing to do with the two unsolved cases in the palace, Hu Youli couldn't figure out what Xuanyuan Yi's intention was to let Mu Bingyue and the two meet at this time, he saw Sima Han's expression was confused, and couldn't help asking: "Master Sima, do you know what the emperor meant?" ”

Sima Han sighed, "Our emperor is too proud, he won't do anything to force her, I guess the emperor wants her to be separated from Chiyan." ”

Hu Youli shook his head when he heard this, "It's all here, the emperor is still thinking about this." ”

Hu Youli's rare resentment blamed Xuanyuan Yi, he was not an enlightened person, but when he thought of the assassin who disappeared without a trace under the noses of the twelve generals, he was like a thorn in his back, it was a matter of the emperor's safety, he didn't dare to be sloppy for a moment, but when it came to this, the emperor's mind was still elsewhere, and he felt depressed when he thought about it.

The main lord who was lined up by the two important ministers was drinking alone in the side hall of the Imperial Palace at the moment.

Xuanyuan Yi poured wine one after another, while listening to his subordinates report on the meeting between Mu Bingyue and Situ Qing.

These two things that happened in the palace, if it had nothing to do with her, even he wouldn't believe it, but he couldn't figure it out, and what made him most depressed was that she didn't give him any explanation for this matter.

The original full of expectations was messed up by this messy stink, and he didn't have the heart of joy beforehand.

He wanted to go back, but these things haunted him all the time, and he didn't know how to react to her.

Believe her, these things are too much of a coincidence. He didn't believe it, but he didn't know how to do it.

At the same time, the discussion of this matter in the palace is more and more outrageous, with Xuanyuan Yi's intensive search of the palace ended without a problem, rumors are even more spreading, Xuanyuan Yi has the heart to ignore it, but he can't stand the poisonous tongue of the woman in the left palace who has nothing to do, and when the queen mother used this matter to force him to stay away from Mu Bingyue, he was finally angry, as long as there was no political matter, he would immediately return to the Qilin Palace.

Mu Bingyue was already in a bad mood because of Situ Qing's arrival, and she didn't have a good face when she saw him, and she became even more irritable after the assassin case dragged on for four or five days.

After winter, the wind at night blew even harder, which made Mu Bingyue, who was worried about miscellaneous matters, even more sleepless, Xuanyuan Yi drank wine and fell asleep, but she didn't feel a trace of sleepiness in the second half of the night.
