Chapter 10: Unmasking the Disguise

Mu Yun frowned lightly, looked at Xiao Yuexi and said seriously: "Yuexi, you blame me, blame me, don't talk like this." I'm ready to confess, can you dissipate your anger and let me explain first? ”

"Explain?" Xiao Yuexi raised her eyebrows and said, "No, the emperor bothered to make up nonsense and continue to trick me." ”

With another chuckle, Mu Yun sat down slowly, looked at Xiao Yuexi for a long time, and asked, "Okay, then what do you want me to say?" ”

Xiao Yuexi choked, and didn't know what to say. She instinctively didn't believe what Mu Yunqing said now, so was it necessary to listen to his nonsense?

Apparently not!

"No need, can you go, Your Majesty?"

Mu Yun chuckled and the corners of his eyes crooked, and the pair of silver bells shuttled back and forth between his slender fingertips.

He rightly stated the truth: "This is my dormitory." ”

Xiao Yuexi: "............ Then I'm leaving! "Qingliang Hall is not just this dormitory, can't she find a side hall to hide?

Mu Yunqing's upper body leaned over suddenly, and his harmless smiling face suddenly enlarged in front of Xiao Yuexi. He said, "Madame forgot? You were seriously injured to save me, how can I be willing to watch you move back and forth? ”

The two were too close, and the faint scent of ambergris on his body wafted into Xiao Yuexi's nose, Xiao Yuexi frowned, and the scene of the attack that night resurfaced in his mind, could it be ...... Is it really him?!

Mu Yun sat up straight again, straightened his face and said, "Yuexi, I won't harm you, do you believe me?" ”

Xiao Yuexi did not speak.

At first, she believed it, so she was led by his nose and posed, and Mu Yun made her very relaxed. Now that things are like this, how can she believe it?

"Moon Xi ......"

"Cloud light."

Xiao Yuexi's cold call made Mu Yunqing's eyes suddenly light up. She hadn't called him that since he had taken the throne......

Xiao Yuexi continued: "Do you remember what I told you when you gave me the silver bell? ”

Yes, this silver bell is now a royal gift!

Xiao Yuexi's parents were dragged down by the villain and died on the battlefield. Xiao Yixuan took the initiative to invite Ying to go to the south, and swept away the turmoil with his vigorous and resolute killing skills, and the first emperor was happy with the sacred heart, and took Xiao Yuexi, who was only eight years old, into the palace and took care of it according to the rules of the princess.

Xiao Yuexi lived in the palace for a year, and did not return to the general's mansion until Xiao Yixuan returned to Beijing to marry his wife.

At that time, Xiao Yuexi was already very familiar with Mu Yunqing, the day he left the palace, it happened to be Xiao Yuexi's birthday, Mu Yun was so shy that he was more like a little girl than Xiao Yuexi, and carefully held the pair of silver bells to Xiao Yuexi as if offering treasures, and said: "I am not as good as my father and sister like the emperor's brother and sister, and naturally I can't give ......you anything valuable. Don't be disgusted. ”

Xiao Yuexi was not polite, she accepted it happily, looked at Mu Yunqing, who was a head taller than herself, and said very old-fashionedly: "Those few cowards, you can be honest for several days after beating them, you don't have to be afraid of them!" ”

Listening to his royal brother and sister being said to be a "coward", Mu Yunqing didn't mind at all, and nodded solemnly.

Xiao Yuexi said again: "There is more! It doesn't matter what they say or think, a clear conscience is the most important thing! No matter what you become, I'm willing to be your friend! ”

The immature tone, on a cold morning, made bold words.

Xiao Yuexi's cold tone now is also very similar to that morning: "I always thought that you remembered, but it turned out to be not?" ”

Mu Yun looked at her with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice: "But I feel that the one who forgot is you." Yuexi, believe me? ”

His voice has never been so demagogic as it is now, and when he met his gaze again, Xiao Yuexi was quickly defeated and compromised: "Okay! You say, I'll listen. ”

Mu Yun hooked the corners of his mouth lightly, and said calmly: "It's a way to survive...... In the year I succeeded to the throne, you have also seen how many people want to pull me down, and I can only hide my edge and prepare secretly. I asked you to check my mother's old case, also because I suspect that the person behind it is in the palace, in a place very close to me, if that is the case, if this hidden danger is not solved, the throne is a small matter, and I don't want to die in vain. ”

Xiao Yuexi looked at him suspiciously for a long time, his face was extremely sincere and sincere, and he couldn't see the slightest flaw. Xiao Yuexi only focused on what he said, and after a while, he reacted and subconsciously asked in a low voice, "Do you doubt it...... Is it the Queen Mother? ”

Mu Yun was silent, but Xiao Yuexi whispered to herself: "Impossible! Calculate the time, at that time, the Queen Mother had not yet been mentioned as the successor of the first emperor, she was just a palace concubine with no sense of existence, how could there be ......"

Xiao Yuexi wanted to say how could she have so many wrists, but then she thought of this palace concubine who had no sense of existence, climbing to the phoenix position step by step, how could she be a person without wrists?

Mu Yun lightly sensed her doubts, and then said lightly: "There is no evidence, and it can't be said that it must be her, I can only be on guard for the time being." Maybe there are other people behind it, and I can't prevent them all, so I thought of you-" Mu Yun sighed lightly and confessed: "The assassin last night, I deliberately put it in, in order to give you some privileges and make it more convenient to act in the palace, I didn't tell you in advance, I'm sorry......"

Is that so?

"That man in black with the spirit of the rivers and lakes is also your person, right?"

Mu Yunqing didn't have too many surprises, and seemed to know that he couldn't hide it from her eyes and continued to confess: "Yes." ”

Xiao Yuexi nodded, not knowing what she was thinking. After a long time, he suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth and laughed, and said: "It seems that you haven't grown up over the years!" ”

Letting the assassins in, it means that Mu Yunqing has completely taken the Royal Forest Army into his own use, at least those who were on duty last night will not talk nonsense; and that kung fu man, even she can't find out. Is it as simple as "growing up"?

As if thinking of something, Xiao Yuexi suddenly asked: "I was attacked on the night I returned to Beijing a year ago, and it was you?" ”

Mu Yun sighed lightly and nodded: "I received news that someone had set up an ambush on your way back, so I sneaked out, but fortunately I caught up." ”

I had suspected it before, but now that the truth has been revealed, Xiao Yuexi was not so surprised, but frowned and said: "Speaking of those people, I have always wondered who they are. King Kang is not like a person who can raise such a group of dead soldiers, but as soon as those people die, the Connecticut side does stop, and it is really like a recuperation after the matter is revealed...... But the Department of Supervision and State has not found out their details, does King Kang seem to be a person who can do the aftermath so cleanly? ”

Mu Yun said lightly: "This matter is not in a hurry first. King Kang was preparing to die again, and last night's was just an appetizer. ”

It turns out that the assassin who was put in by Mu Yun last night was sent by King Kang? Courage is commendable!

"What else is he going to do?"

The contempt in Mu Yun's light eyes flashed, and he turned to say: "Don't worry, he can't make much waves, without him, I may not have a chance to clean up those traitors!" ”

Xiao Yuexi saw that he had already spread out all the hole cards in front of his eyes, and most of the nameless evil fire in his heart disappeared, and said indifferently: "You have a number in your heart, now that I am being pulled into the palace by you, it is inconvenient to participate in the affairs of the previous dynasty, then I will help you clear the obstacles in the rear!" I don't have a clue so far, but I'm doing my best not to let you down. ”

"I knew it was right to come to you!" Mu Yun said lightly. "In two days, those show girls will also enter the palace. The Queen Mother quietly arranged a lot of her own people, I don't care, I just have to work hard for you to deal with them. ”

Xiao Yuexi was surprised: "What does the show girl have to do with me entering the palace?" ”

Mu Yun chuckled slyly: "Your current position is second only to the queen, a new person has been added to the palace, and it is hard for the queen to preside over the overall situation alone, so I decided to let you assist in the six palaces." ”

Xiao Yuexi: "......??? ”

How many people did he add so much that the queen would be too busy alone?!

"Why are you so stupid?" Mu Yun chuckled more and more heartily. "The more power you have in the palace, the easier it will be to find out, isn't it?"

“…… Oh. Xiao Yuexi also felt stupid, could it be that there was too much news I heard today, and my brain wouldn't turn around?

Mu Yun said lightly: "In order to make your name right, the queen may have to carry a black cauldron." ”

Xiao Yuexi: "......" In order to dredge up the relationship for her, is it really good to count all his wives into it?

Mu Yunqing seemed to understand Xiao Yuexi's eyes, and felt that it was necessary to explain, but before he could speak, Xiao Yuexi said, "Okay!" I know it all, acting, right? I'll just listen to you. But Your Majesty, after the matter is resolved, should you be rewarded for your meritorious deeds? ”

Suddenly hearing that Xiao Yuexi actually took the initiative to ask for a reward, Mu Yunqing was very surprised, and her eyes became surprised when she looked at her.

I heard Xiao Yuexi take care of herself and said: "I don't want any money and status, when I am successful and withdraw from the palace, just reward me with a Zhuangzi by the mountains and rivers." ”

"You're leaving the palace?"

Xiao Yuexi nodded: "Hmm!" Or else? "The task is done, what canary is she still in the palace to pretend? Outside, tomorrow and tomorrow, Gao Haikuo will let her fly, why bother to put herself in a cage?

Mu Yun looked at her lightly and was silent.

"Your Majesty?"

What does it mean to suddenly not speak? Why is his look so weird?

Mu Yun was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "By the way, I forgot to tell you about Brother Yixuan's departure from the capital." ”

Although the topic shifted very bluntly, when it came to his brother's whereabouts, Xiao Yuexi still came to the spirit and asked: "Mu Lan told me, I forgot to ask you, what are you going to do when you send him out?" ”

"King Kang seems to have some unclear dealings with the Tortoise Heng Kingdom, and I asked Brother Yixuan to try to collect some evidence."
