Xue Zhonglin came to the palace to ask to see, but this time he was not sent away perfunctorily by Li Mu, and a guard came to say that His Majesty wanted to see him and invited him to the side hall.

Xue Zhonglin followed the guards into the side hall, and the guards left, leaving him to wait in the hall alone. The door of the hall was also closed, and there were people guarding outside, Xue Zhonglin waited for a long time, but no one came.

Xue Zhonglin was not stupid, after waiting for a while, he didn't need to ask what was going on, he already knew that Li Mu was trying to put him under house arrest.

Although Xue Shiwu has a noble status and is the eldest daughter of the second prince, but in the end, she has no grade on her body, she is still a girl, in case the second prince does not admit it, then Li Mu really has no choice.

But replacing Xue Shiwu with Xue Zhonglin is different, Xue Zhonglin is a general, holding heavy troops, and the weight is naturally different.

Xue Zhonglin understood that Li Mu was going to take himself hostage.

Sure enough, one night passed like this, and Xue Zhonglin spent his time in the side hall, and no one came, so he was put under house arrest.

At dawn the next day, a guard brought Xue Zhonglin breakfast and a change of clothes, and the treatment was quite good, and it was better than that of the prisoners.

Xue Zhonglin's expression was very calm, watching the guards put away their clothes and meals, and then left, during which Xue Zhonglin did not say a word.

Xue Zhonglin changed his clothes, washed up, and then had breakfast.

After a while, a guard came in to pack up his things, and when he saw that Xue Zhonglin was well fed and dressed, he also looked quite calm, but without saying much, he packed up his old clothes and plates, and closed the door and left.

Chu Yunxi got up late today, Li Mu was still beside him, and when he saw her, he said, "Are you uncomfortable?" I woke up a little late. ”

"No, it's just very sleepy." Chu Yunxi said: "I'm too lazy to get up every day. ”

Li Mu said: "It's okay, I've worked hard for you these days." ”

Chu Yunxi stretched out his hand and touched his belly, and said, "It's only been these days, and the days to come will be even longer." ”

Li Mu said: "So Ah Yunxi, it's best to give birth to a son at one time, and you don't have to work hard for Yunxi in the future." ”

"I think it's Your Majesty's hard work, right?" Chu Yunxi raised his eyebrows and said.

Li Mu smiled and said, "Yes, I endure it very hard, I don't have to eat every day, and I have to compensate me well after Yunxi." ”

Chu Yunxi got up, sat down and prepared for breakfast, as if he had just remembered, and said, "Your Majesty, what about that Xue Zhonglin?" How's it going? Stayed in the palace yesterday? ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "I stayed in the palace, I was very honest, I ate well and dressed well, and I didn't say anything." ”

Chu Yunxi said: "Also, Xue Zhonglin looks like a smart person, he knows that what he said is in vain, so it is better to save some effort." If he doesn't say anything, he can still whet our appetite and make us take the initiative to speak. ”

Li Mu said dissatisfiedly: "Why didn't I see that he was smart? ”

When Chu Yunxi heard that His Majesty was starting to sour again, he simply didn't answer and concentrated on breakfast.

Li Mu said: "Yunxi, I feed you." ”

"No, I'll do it myself." Chu Yunxi said.

Li Mu said: "It's okay to feed me with the clouds." ”

Chu Yunxi simply picked up a piece of dim sum, stuffed it directly into Li Mu's mouth, and said, "Your Majesty eats well." ”

The dim sum was too big, and Li Mu almost choked, but the food was quite satisfying.

Xue Zhonglin was in the palace for one night, and he was also locked in the main hall during the day, seeing that the sun was about to set, and still no one came, but the three meals a day were very good, and he didn't look lazy.

Chu Yunxi and Xue Zhonglin seemed to be in a hurry, and they both wanted to satisfy each other's appetites, and the two of them were silent and were not ready to speak first.

Li Mu came back late today, anyway, Chu Yunxi was not hungry, so he waited for him to have dinner together.

Li Mu said: "Yunxi, I heard that Xue Zhonglin is quite stubborn, and it seems that there has been no movement all day. ”

Chu Yunxi smiled: "Yes, but it doesn't matter." ”

Li Mu said: "What does Yunxi mean?" ”

Chu Yunxi said: "If he doesn't move again, we won't give him food to eat, and see how long he can go." ”

"This ......" Li Mu almost laughed when he heard it, and said, "Wouldn't this method be too lacking in morality?" ”

Chu Yunxi wanted to cut off Xue Zhonglin's rations, and the method was indeed a bit cloudy, and Xue Zhonglin had one less dinner that night. However, Xue Zhonglin has been guarding the frontier for many years, and eating less is nothing.

It's just that if it continues to delay like this, there will be gossip outside, and I'm afraid that the longer it takes, the worse it will be, so Xue Zhonglin still relented, called the guards who brought the food, and asked to see Li Mu and Chu Yunxi.

Li Mu said: "After sharpening Xue Zhonglin's sharpness, it's time to see him." ”

Chu Yunxi said: "Your Majesty will see you when you see it." ”

Xue Zhonglin was imprisoned in the palace for two days, and Xue Shiwu also shouted in the prison for two days, shouting so loudly that he was exhausted.

As soon as the door of the main hall opened, Xue Zhonglin saw Li Mu and Chu Yunxi who walked in, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted, saying, "Foreign ministers, see Your Majesty and the Queen Mother." ”

Li Mu smiled: "Why did General Xue make this great gift? ”

Xue Zhonglin said: "Please atone for your sins, in fact, the two women who were mistakenly arrested in the embassy that day were the maids of the foreign minister, so the foreign minister wanted to ......."

Chu Yunxi laughed when he heard this, and said, "Those two girls are General Xue's maids?" How did this palace hear that one of them was the daughter of the second prince of Xue Guo. ”

Xue Zhonglin hurriedly said: "The queen mother said that she laughed, but she just looked similar." ”

Chu Yunxi said: "They look similar?" Then why did General Xue's maid run to Princess Han's room? ”

Xue Zhonglin said calmly: "I'm afraid it's because I'm not familiar with the layout of the embassy, so I went the wrong way." ”

Chu Yunxi laughed again, is this Xue Zhonglin going to talk nonsense with his eyes open? It's so calm, it's not laughing.

Li Mu said: "General Xue said this, I can understand it, but the people of the Zhou State sent me Dali, and the people who came were guests, they were frightened, I always have to give them an explanation, right?" ”

"Yes," Chu Yunxi said: "Originally, I really thought it was the daughter of the second prince, but it was expensive." Now I heard General Xue say this, just an insignificant little maid, this is good, Your Majesty simply beheaded those two little maids, which can be regarded as an explanation to the envoys of Zhou State. ”

Li Mu smiled cooperatively: "Yunxi is right. ”

Xue Zhonglin immediately frowned and wanted to speak. Chu Yunxi didn't give him this opportunity, and hurriedly said: "General Xue, don't be reluctant, just like that, this palace will give you two more maids, which can be regarded as compensation for you, how about it?" ”
