In the Liuxi waterway in the northeast corner of Shuiyue Villa, a wind-like figure stepped through the arched wall and stepped into the inner courtyard, and the corners of his lips rose mockingly.

The person who came was not good-looking, his robe was half-old, but his body was like a pine and cypress, and he was tall and tall.

He flicked off the dust from the hem of his clothes because of passing through the flowers over the arched wall, looked around to confirm his location, and followed the topographic map given by the insider to the Lanyan Pavilion where Mu Qingyan was located.

The afterimage quickly stepped into the Lanyan Pavilion, and sighed in his heart, "Master, An Yuxuan really came in from the waterway." ”

"You go and close the formation of the waterway out, even if you want to catch him, he is not in the village, it is not interesting to close the door and beat the dog." Mu Qingyan threw the rouge in his hand into the makeup box, looked at himself in front of the bronze mirror, and cleaned his hands with a smile.

Closed the formation on the waterway, in order to wait for An Yuxuan to send it to the door.

The person who came was An Yuxuan.

Today, the emperor is married, and Mu Qinghan and Mu Zheng are naturally not in the mansion. After he returned to Beijing, he had already learned the general situation through the hidden stake buried in the Shuiyue Villa in the past ten days, and he only picked up this day to enter the mansion just not to meet Mu Qinghan.

He knew that his martial arts and scheming were not as good as Mu Qinghan, but he had a reason to enter the Water Moon Villa in his heart. I got the news a month ago that Mu Qingyan took two four or five-year-old babies back to Beijing via Jinguancheng.

He was entrusted by Chu Li, and he must find out when the child was born. Almost all the forces of Anxinlou were used, but there was no way to find out. Since she was pardoned by the new emperor five years ago, she has been closed in Lanyan Pavilion, and the hidden pile buried in Shuiyue Villa has tried her best to not even get close to the door of Lanyan Pavilion.

After learning the news that she was walking the rivers and lakes with her two children, Chu Li's enthusiasm for seizing the throne, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly boiled again. He still remembered Chu Li's wild words after drinking that day: "If Lucheng didn't have Mu Qinghan, how could he attack the city and conquer the city?" If Wuling City had not been helped by Mu Qinghan's strange soldiers, it would have already fallen into the pocket of the Western Tang Dynasty; If it weren't for Mu Qinghan and the angry Qin Yan, the royal city of Nanzhao would have returned in vain. If the child born by Mu Qingyan is really mine, as long as Mu Qinghan helps me take the throne, I will definitely allow that child to be the crown prince. When the time comes, the Mu family will be honored, can he not consider his own family power and future generations, wouldn't he be thousands of times stronger than the current king with a different surname? ”

An Yuxuan was ordered to come.

Although the An family did not agree with Chu Li's plan, when they chose to help him win the world, they were destined to be tied up in one place, and they were both prosperous. After imprisoning the crown prince, he helped Chu Li become emperor, and everything went smoothly as he had originally envisioned. Just as Lucheng was regained, Nanzhao opened victoriously and An Jia was preparing to show his ambitions, Chu Jue was born. Emperor Mingze's orthodox successor not only did not die young, but also made great achievements in the southern and northern wars, and also won the throne in one fell swoop with the help of Mu Qinghan and Qin Yan. When attacking the city, Chu Li absconded from the secret passage without even resisting, and hid for five years.

If it weren't for the fact that An Xinlou left a way back for himself back then, secretly took a remote town outside the northwest border under his wing in the early years, and fled while the soldiers were in a panic, how could he still have his life?

In the past five years, he has given up all the prosperity in the world, and he has been in the closed town with Chu Liwo, and he has regretted it thousands of times in his heart. Seeing that Chu Li's general trend was gone, he didn't know the suffering of the world, and he was used to living a pampered life, so he didn't know how much patience and comfort he was tired.

Now suddenly there is a plan to join forces with Mu Qinghan to seize the throne, knowing that he is not half sure, but he still has to try before he is willing to die. Maybe Mu Qingyan agreed, and it was up to her to convince Mu Qinghan to be more effective than anyone else.

The only way to do this is to let go of the last fight and become a prince. Even if you lose, you will no longer be able to fall into the current situation.

There are few people he has met along the way, if it weren't for the fact that the dark pile had already said that the subordinates of Shuiyue Villa were not redundant, and the number of people in each house and courtyard was much less than that of other houses, according to his caution, I am afraid that he would have been suspicious.

Come outside the walls of the Lanyan Pavilion and float into the secluded place in the northeast. The courtyard is quite large, many times more refined than his courtyard in Anxin Building. He couldn't help but be jealous of Mu Qinghan's financial resources, and it was not difficult to see Mu Qingyan's status in Mu Mansion.

On the east side of the wall, there are two rows of tall trees, both decades old, and they are thick and thin. There are also two rows of small trees with the thickness of the mouth of the sea bowl, with lush branches and leaves, and there are clusters of roses under the trees, climbing on the trellises that have been erected, and the small building is only separated from it by a path three feet wide. He carefully pasted into the corner of the building and flew to the second floor, a whole row of lattice windows are made of nanmu, and the magnolia flowers the size of a palm are carved out. The lacquer color between the window lattice and the lattice fan is different, the heart is green, and the calyx holds the purple and white buds, which is delicate and elegant without luxury; The window is lined with water-blue cicada yarn and embroidered with purple bamboo on both sides.

Only the westernmost door was open, and An Yuxuan's already silent footsteps were quietly passed a little. There was only a steady sound of breathing in the room, as if he was asleep.

He climbed through the window, but it was a compartment, rows of wardrobes, soft couches, boxes and dressers, etc., and there was also a bookshelf with some women's toys. There is a staircase that leads up from below, and at the end is a carved lattice wooden door like a window, half-open and half-closed.

An Yuxuan walked in cautiously.

I saw a table and two chairs placed under the window facing the lake on the west wall, all of which were carefully made of pear, and the edges and edges were carved and embellished; Under the north wall, there is a huge red sandalwood Qiangong stepping bed, there is a dressing table and a stool in it, and a person is faintly seen sleeping on the bed through a layer of smoke and gauze bed curtains.

When he picked up the curtain and looked at it again, it was Chu Li's longing Mu Qingyan, with a heavy face and thick eyebrows and beautiful lips. When I looked closer, she wasn't really ugly, maybe she would be more beautiful without makeup.

As if sensing that someone was approaching, Mu Qingyan frowned before he opened his eyes, "Amber? ”

An Yuxuan put down the curtain and stood beside the bed, "Mu Guifei, Emperor Lihuang has a will!" ”

Mu Qingyan despised Chu Li in his heart, since Chu Jue entered the palace, he didn't even dare to show his face and fled, he didn't know where to hide in the past five years, and he still had the face to call himself Emperor Li.

She sat up very cooperatively and suddenly, and before she could put on her shoes, she came to lift the bed curtain. His hand was heavier, and he pulled the lower half of the curtain in the palm of his hand, and asked eagerly with a trembling voice, "Chu Li asked you to come?" ”

An Yuxuan saw that her urgency was even more than herself, and her heart calmed down.

"Emperor Lihuang intends to return to Beijing, so let me tell the concubine to make arrangements as soon as possible!"

He tested Mu Qingyan's thoughts, "Emperor Lihuang already knows about the concubine giving birth to the prince, and for you and the prince to belong in the future, Emperor Lihuang tried his best to decide to return to Beijing in desperation." ”

Mu Qingyan wanted to expose his lies very much, and in her heart she couldn't hold back her smile because of Chu Li's innocence, although she tried her best to hold back, the corners of her lips and eyes were still slightly raised.

An Yuxuan saw her smile happily, and suddenly let go of her distraction. It seems that this Miss Qingyan of the Mu family is really a good-for-nothing woman as rumored in the community, but she was born in a clan like the Mu family, no wonder Emperor Li wants to use her as a breakthrough to get Mu Qinghan's help.

Mu Qingyan smiled even more presumptuously, but did not ask.

"Guifei, I have seen with my own eyes that Emperor Lihuang treats you, he has missed you for a day in the past five years, can the concubine have a way to help Emperor Lihuang return to Beijing?" An Yuxuan's eyes did not leave Mu Qingyan, and his usual caution did not allow him to be negligent.

Mu Qingyan suddenly filled his eyes with a sorrow that An Yuxuan could understand, "Since Chu Li gave me away, although the emperor pardoned me, he still forbade me not to go out lightly in this Lanyan Pavilion, what can I do?" ”

An Yuxuan really pondered, and only after a while did he ask tentatively: "When Emperor Lihuang returns to Beijing, the concubine will be able to seal the queen, and the prince will be justified, and there is nothing wrong with the Yu Mu clan only having benefits." ”

Mu Qingyan's eyes flashed with two bundles of greed, "Can I really be a queen?" In the blink of an eye, it was as silent as fireworks, and he sighed sadly, "How can I help him return to Beijing?" I wouldn't have been able to get out of this courtyard without Brother Han. ”

She repeatedly mentioned Mu Qinghan with bad intentions, lowered her head to perfectly hide all the emotions under her eyes, and pretended to be stupid to the end.

Her joy and sorrow all entered An Yuxuan's eyes, and he suddenly felt a little anxious, "Concubine, the Wing King may have a way to help Emperor Li return to Beijing, and when the time comes, the big event will be more than just a Wing King, but also the queen and the crown prince's relatives, and the glory of the family." ”

"You mean Brother Han? Have you talked to Brother Han? Did he say yes? Mu Qingyan followed one sentence after another, and asked more and more excitedly.

An Yuxuan didn't expect things to go so smoothly, he sank his excited heart slightly, "I just entered the capital today, and I haven't seen King Yi in the palace yet." But ......"

"But what?" Mu Qingyan couldn't wait to ask him.

Seeing that Mu Qingyan was really eager, the corners of An Yuxuan's lips rose, "But if this matter is facilitated by the concubine, presumably Emperor Li will value you more, why don't you mention it to the concubine and the king of the wings, how about it?" ”

Mu Qingyan pretended to be embarrassed and paced back and forth on the ground, grabbing his hair for a while, pulling his clothes for a while, tossing for a while before returning to him again, biting his lip and saying, "Brother Han is actually not as gentle as he looks, I, I'm a little afraid of him......"

An Yuxuan forcibly endured the disdain in his heart, "In the end, if it is a close relative, you will tell him everything I just said, and whether you succeed or not depends on the concubine's intentions." If someone rushes to help Emperor Lihuang complete the great cause before the concubine, then Emperor Lihuang will be held accountable, first Mu Qinghan will help Dongfang Fengjue usurp the throne, and then you will have a child hidden and not reported, all of which are the crimes of extermination. He glanced at Mu Qingyan fiercely, "Concubine, please think about it!" ”

Mu Qingyan suddenly sat down on the chair in fright, her body trembling slightly, "I, I'll try......"

"Exactly, I'll let someone come tomorrow night to hear the good news of the concubine." An Yuxuan didn't dare to stay longer for a moment, turned around and walked outside, still going out through the window when he came.

The afterimage stared at him after opening the formation after leaving the Water Moon Villa, and then returned to the Lanyan Pavilion.

"Master, how's that?"

Mu Qingyan gently stroked her loose hair with one hand, and lifted half of the corners of her lips, "Whimsical!" Suddenly thinking of An Yuxuan's previous caution, "Now it seems that the original trick to lure the snake out of the hole was still effective, and they really still have a thief's heart and don't die!" It's okay to make the line longer and lead a big fish. ”

"Master, he is still under our control, and we are not afraid of any trouble for him." The afterimage briefly talked about the recent events and An Yuxuan's actions, "Although An Xinlou is still in An Yuxuan's hands, it is controlled by An Yuqing behind his back, which is probably what An Jingran and An Jingji mean, to ensure that An Xinlou's status is not shaken at all." ”

"Shadow, pay close attention to who he has dealings with in the court, and who he has met with, follow closely, don't let him lose his trace again......" Mu Qingyan suddenly stopped and gave a look to the afterimage.

The remnant nodded, and dodged out of the window.

A very unfamiliar footstep stopped outside the courtyard of Lanyan Pavilion, Mu Qingyan came out of the inner room and leaned down on the couch in the outer room, pulled a pillow to cushion his head, and pretended to sleep.

The afterimage slipped from the east courtyard wall to the courtyard gate, and hid itself on the golden tree, looking through the gap between the leaves to the source of the footsteps. I saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old half-old girl, squatting in the corner of the wall and looking into the courtyard.

At this moment, Cinnabar walked back to the gate of the courtyard with a wicker basket, glared at the girl who was still looking, and asked her in a cold voice: "Which courtyard are you from, what are you looking at here?" ”

The girl was visibly startled and silent.

"Don't say it soon, if it's too late, I'll let the young lady get you out!" Cinnabar became vigilant, and his language became sharper.

The girl hung her head, and only after a while did she say timidly: "I am ......" took advantage of the fact that Cinnabar frowned, and ran away.

Cinnabar looked at the distant figure and suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing in front of him, and he was stunned. She was also an idle person on weekdays, so she simply threw away her hand and still carried the basket into the courtyard.

Pearl was combing Mu Qingyan's hair, only loosely braiding two braids to hold the broken hair on his temples, coiling it at the back of his head, and locking it with a jade hairpin. Since Linglong and Liuli were sent to Bishui Manor to take care of the little master, Lanyan Pavilion has suddenly become much quieter.

"Miss, Princess Ning'an asked someone to pick it up, are you really not going?" Coral compared the unsewn robe on Mu Qingyan's body, looking left and right, deep and shallow, and couldn't help but look at it.

Mu Qingyan squinted, "Sango, this dress of yours is not mine, right?" ”

"Of course not!" Coral didn't look up, and the flying needle walked the line, "This is the clothing sent by the thrush villa last year, and there are still some leftovers after cutting a set of young lady, but it is not enough for a shirt." She bit off the thread with her teeth and threaded it again, "Originally, it was put in the box last year, and when I saw Zuo Ling that day, I suddenly thought of this." I cut a small robe, which is bigger and bigger, and I should be able to wear it next year. ”

Hearing this, Pearl threw down her half-coiled hair and leaned over to pull half of the robe in Sango's hand, "Show me!" Tsk, that little girl is white and tender to match this color, what did you embroider coral? ”

Coral snatched it back and gently stroked the embroidered surface, "Miss has loved bamboo since she was a child, and Zuo Ning will probably follow Miss a little, so I embroidered the red panda with bamboo shoots, and embroidered some bamboo on the corner of the robe is not eye-catching." ”
