That night, Zhu Linyu lay on the couch and fell asleep, but Bai Muguan, who had a good conversation with her, had no sleep all night. There had been so much going on lately that she was distraught and walked out of the house.

This inn has a small yard full of flowers and trees, as well as a rockery pavilion. Although it is far from the view of the back garden of the East Palace, it is a good place for sleepless people at night. At least tonight, Bai Muguan is comfortable sitting in the gazebo blowing the night breeze, with a rockery in front and lush trees behind, so quiet that no one will bother at all.

There were footsteps from far and near, and the girl turned her head to look, the people walking slowly under the moonlight were dressed in plain robes, their black hair was loosely tied up by white ribbons, and their faces were dyed with moonlight, and Qinghui couldn't see their facial features.

Because of Yu Wenye, they didn't have the time to be alone until this time. Bai Muguan smiled and said sincerely: "I wish the eldest brother no harm." ”

Early tomorrow morning, she will accompany Yu Wenye to Suzhou as soon as possible, and Zhu Yanqing will continue to escort Zhu Linyu to the capital. A short meeting is about to part, and the friendship between them is inevitably reluctant to give up each other.

Zhu Yanqing walked up to her and sat down next to her, and opened his mouth with a smile: "When I send Linyu to the capital tomorrow, I will rush back to Suzhou immediately, the situation in Suzhou County is complicated, I don't worry about you." ”

Bai Muguan shook his head and said seriously: "I am now the prince's courtier, with the emperor's order, and I went to Suzhou for official business. I wish that eldest brother doesn't have to worry about me, or accompany Sister Zhu well, she will enter the palace immediately, and it will be difficult for you to see each other again in the future. ”

She was completely aware of Zhu Yanqing's worries, and in contrast, she thought that Zhu Linyu, who had just gone to the capital to be elected, needed her brother to accompany her more. The current situation in Suzhou is chaotic and complicated, she can imagine a little, the Zhu family's power in Suzhou should not be underestimated, but she will not easily ask others to help.

Zhu Yanqing was silent for a while, the emotion in his eyes was indescribable, the person he cared about the most, his Xiaoguan was finally close tonight. Looking at her radiant face, he was sincerely pleased. He looked her up and down carefully, and finally stopped at the chicken blood plum blossom jade pendant tied around her waist. Subconsciously wanted to touch the piece in his sleeve, and after enduring it, he finally suppressed the impulse in his heart.

"Xiaoguan, I listen to you. But do you really think Linyu can be selected to enter the palace? ”

Zhu Yanqing suddenly asked such a sentence, Bai Muguan thought that their brother and sister were in deep love, and he was reluctant to let his sister enter the palace, so he smiled casually: "It's not difficult to choose to enter the palace with your sister's appearance and talent, aren't you reluctant?" Being a concubine is a dream that many women in the world can't ask for, and the identity of the emperor's relatives can also make the Zhu family change their face, and they will get rid of the embarrassment of being rich but not expensive. ”

She swore that she would talk and laugh calmly, but she didn't know that she was infinitely distressed when she heard it in Zhu Yanqing's ears. So, is this the reason why she wants to marry into the East Palace? In the future, let the Bai family become a relative of the emperor, not only to replace the lintel, but also to preserve the glory of the family for decades because of nepotism.

Previously, he worked hard to persuade the second elder of the Zhu family to allow Zhu Linyu to participate in the draft, ruthlessly disregarding Zhu Linyu's lifelong happiness, and secretly arranged everything to send her to the deep palace, he did have selfish intentions. The Zhu family is an imperial businessman, although no matter how rich the private property is, it will not hinder the emperor, but the Bai family is different, Bai Zhanyi and Bai Muguan are in a delicate situation. The former dynasty and the harem are inseparable, and the harem needs someone who can speak for the Bai family to accompany the monarch, and he firmly believes that with Zhu Linyu's dependence and trust on him since he was a child, she will obey his words and give the Bai family more protection in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yanqing's eyes were scorching: "Uncle Bai should be reluctant for you to become a deep palace woman for the sake of the family." ”

Regardless of whether Bai Zhanyi is willing or not, in short, he is reluctant.

Throughout the ages, the harem has been like a quagmire, and those who enter it will be deeply trapped in it, and no one can get out of the mud without staining. What's even more terrifying is that maybe a sentence or a small thing can easily lose your head.

"My mother said to me in a letter to her family that the harem is like a purgatory on earth, and it is the most unpeaceful in the world, although it is honorable and illustrious, it has no good end. She didn't want me to get involved. The girl looked sideways, and Shu Ran hooked the corners of her lips, "It's a pity that fate plays tricks, the man in my heart is the prince of the dynasty, I dare to stand by his side today, and I am naturally not afraid of stepping into the deep palace because of him in the future." In fact, if he is in the rivers and lakes, I will accompany him to wander the world, if he is the emperor, I am also fearless of my deceit and conspiracy. ”

In the end, the person she loves is Yu Wenye, and as for his identity, she doesn't particularly care. The so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, even if it will really be deep in the mud in the future, she will be calm. Tonight's Bai Muguan can't talk about disgust or yearning for the harem, there is always a place for him, which is the place that makes her the happiest.

"Xiaoguan, if you look back on today decades later, you won't regret it, I will bless you." Zhu Yanqing smiled, this smile was not pure at all, and it implied endless sorrow.

On the contrary, Bai Muguan's eyes were shining, and he smiled: "Don't talk about me, when do you plan to get married?" I wish the family a rich party, even the princes and nobles are not as good as you, and you are in the wind, and there are countless ladies who want to wait for you! Even Xiangyun's girl admires you. ”

Zhu Yanqing shook his head slightly, lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "I'm not in a hurry to start a family yet." ”

Over the years, there are not a few famous ladies who have secretly promised him, and none of them have made him excited. He wished Yanqing to be different from ordinary sons who were not rich or noble, and there were groups of wives and concubines who liked the new and hated the old. He would rather never marry, and if he wants to marry, he will marry someone who treats him sincerely. In fact, there is a person in his heart, but he is destined to have no chance in this life, he doesn't dare to destroy humanity, so he doesn't even dare to think about it.

Putting away the ridiculous thoughts in his heart, Zhu Yanqing took out a silver medal from his arms and handed it to her, and in Bai Muguan's hesitant gaze, he explained softly: "This silver medal can mobilize all the people planted by the Zhu family in the capital, these people are all my cronies, distributed in the wine shop, Qinglou theater, inn, medical hall and other places where it is easiest to listen to and transmit news, and there are also internal lines in the officials' mansions. The leader is the Hui Yao you have seen, with these manpower, you can still understand the situation in the capital even if you are thousands of miles away, I know you need it very much. ”

Raising her eyes to look at his calm and breezy appearance, she knew very well that she didn't know how much energy and financial resources it would cost him to install so many people. Bai Muguan's heart suddenly tightened and became hot, and the hot current quickly poured into the ventricles, and the familiar and long-lost warmth caught her off guard. Zhu Yanqing has no blood relationship with her, but treats her so well, but unfortunately she can't afford this love.

The girl pushed back the hand in front of her, her touched expression was overflowing, and she politely refused: "Thank you for wishing my eldest brother this kindness, but I can't afford it, you have to worry about me." ”

Knowing that she would refuse, Zhu Yanqing took her hand and stuffed the silver medal into her palm and clenched it, and said with a straight face: "Since you returned to the capital and involved in the royal family and nobles, there is no one around you to use, how can it be done?" These secret guards can more or less help you, Xiaoguan, I have deployed manpower for you for so long, you can't refuse! ”

Bai Muguan looked at him helplessly, and said lightly: "Brother Zhu, I admit that I do need manpower, but you don't have to worry so much about me." I have saved your life, you are grateful, in the past few years, you have delivered grain and grass for the soldiers of Mobei free of charge, and we have cleared it twice. ”

Two clear? How can they be clear between them?

Zhu Yanqing felt that his throat was astringent, his eyes were a little bloodshot, and his mind was buzzing. He desperately resisted the urge that flashed through his mind, he couldn't tell him his true background. In fact, the rise and fall of the Bai family's glory and disgrace should not be borne by her as a little woman, and their father, the god of war of the Tianxi Dynasty, is not childless! Where does he start with all this? There are many things that he hasn't even figured out himself, so how can he explain them to Bai Muguan? He could only look at her from a distance and not close like this, and then silently gave Zhu Linyu his care for his sister.

As the night darkens, the red candles hanging high in the four corners of the pavilion are swaying in the night breeze, and there is a faint fragrance of pear blossoms in the air, which is her favorite taste.

With the stalemate between the two of them, Zhu Yanqing decided to take a step back: "Leave Xiaoguan, you should borrow these manpower from me, and return them to me when you have a solid foundation in the future." ”

After staring at each other for a long time, Bai Muguan exhaled, and finally relented: "Okay, one day I will definitely return this power to you." ”

It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow. She didn't bring back the secret guard raised by the Bai family to the capital, and she lived in the East Palace these days, and she was closed to news, which was inconvenient.

Although Yu Wenye said that his secret guard could obey her, it was just a sentence after all, and there was no substantive manpower for her to move. For example, every time Wuyi reported to him for secret discussions, he always avoided her, and now that she was away, the only thing she could do was to order Xiangyun to follow Wuyi's side. However, how much news Xiangyun can hear, I think I know very little. The general who has no soldiers in his hands is really pitiful, and the manpower that Zhu Yanqing gave her can be of great use.

"You wait here first, and I will order Huiyao to come and listen to your orders." With that, he turned and walked away.

Soon, Hui Yao, who was dressed as an ordinary family, came quickly, but Zhu Yanqing did not come with him.

"Miss Bai, your subordinate Hui Yao is here." Whether in public or private, Hui Yao respects the beautiful girl in front of him.

Bai Muguan Huo Ran got up, the smile on his lips disappeared, and he said very seriously: "Divide your subordinates into three groups, one group closely stare at Chunxi Tower, and tell me immediately if there is any movement." In addition to the main family behind the scenes of Chunxi Building, Xixi Wangfu has to be watched, and even the popular celebrity Ren Yi cannot be despised either. ”

It's just Xixi Palace, what's there to keep an eye on in a play? Hui Yao didn't know why, but he still responded solemnly.

"Another group of people are responsible for keeping an eye on the Great Prince's Mansion and the Hengguo Mansion." Bai Muwan's eyes flashed, and he lowered his voice and said, "Finally, keep an eye on the palace for me." ”

Not only send people to monitor Chunxi Tower, but also place people to keep an eye on the Guogong Mansion, the Emperor's Mansion and the Imperial Palace?

The more Hui Yao listened, the more he felt a chill in his back, his eyes were a little flustered, and he said tentatively: "Miss Bai doesn't know, it's not easy to insert eyeliner in the palace. ”

Bai Muguan pursed his lips and walked to him, patted his shoulder twice, and said trustingly: "No matter how difficult it is, I believe you have a way." ”

In the palace, there are Empress Dowager Xiao, Empress Tong, and Bai Mingnuan, who is not on good terms with her...... She didn't dare to let up on everyone.

Since he accepted the manpower given by Zhu Yanqing, he must play a full role in order not to be in vain.

Hui Yao didn't dare to take a closer look at the girl who had the same temperament and demeanor as his master, so he stubbornly agreed: "Miss Bai, please rest assured, my subordinates will definitely go all out." ”
