"What's the location?" Wei Shi didn't react for a while, stopped his hand and turned around to ask.

Mu Yunge stepped forward and grabbed the wooden stick in his hand, and said quickly and urgently: "Didn't we keep thinking about how that girl named Qing'er managed to get under our noses?" At first, we thought that there was something wrong with the pastry, and all our minds were thinking about the pastry, but I am afraid that the pastry was used to confuse us, and the real problem was Yipinzhai. Think about it carefully, what did Qing'er do in the store just now? ”

"She was standing at the counter and didn't move." Wei Shi recalled it, and it seemed that from beginning to end, Qing'er never walked away.

Mu Yunge said: "The problem is here! She didn't move at all, her body was in front of the counter, but we didn't see her hand on the counter, her hand was hidden in front of her. ”

"You mean, there's something on the counter?" Wei Shi immediately exclaimed.

Mu Yunge nodded, and the two of them didn't have time to explain to Mu Jinran, so they immediately ran out. Mu Jinran blinked, a deep smile appeared on her cheeks, and hurriedly followed, the three of them returned to Yipinzhai as quickly as possible, and came to the counter, Mu Yunge and Wei Shi didn't say a word, and immediately began to look at the pastries along the counter while pretending to check the pastries, while touching around in the corner of the invisible cabinet with their hands.

However, the two touched it and found nothing.

Looking at each other, Wei Shi and Mu Yunge couldn't help but think that they were thinking wrong, and they were inevitably disappointed.

Mu Jinran, who was following the two of them, also looked around like the two of them, he was small, short, and half a head shorter than the high counter of Yipinzhai, and he needed to tiptoe to see the things on the counter, so he had to squat his knees slightly to check the dark crack under the cabinet.

This look really showed him some way.

Under this high counter, on the side of the column base supporting the counter, there is a carved peony pattern, but there is a peony petal in it, which seems to be moving.

Mu Jinran stretched out her hand and gently darkened it, and without even making a sound, the dark grid opened.

He immediately tugged on Wei Shi and Mu Yunge's sleeves: "Sister, Brother Wei, look." ”

"There was something here." Wei Shi lowered his head and pretended to arrange Mu Jinran's belt, his eyes quickly glanced at this petal, and when he straightened his waist, he wiped his hand and stuffed the box back again, and then attached it to Mu Yunge's ear and said, "But it was taken away, it should be made by Qing'er." ”

"Something." Mu Yunge asked with a faint expression while selecting the pastries.

Wei Shi leaned over to look at the Taishi cake she was looking at, and replied, "It's a rectangular block, I don't know what it is." ”

Mu Yunge nodded, and then smiled at the guy: "Wrap up these things." The snow hibiscus just now is good, and I will pack a box too. ”

The guy naturally recognized her, and quickly packed it and handed it to her, and then personally sent the two gods out.

When he was about to go out, Mu Jinran's soft and glutinous voice sounded at the right time, which was completely different from his usual calmness: "Sister, the pastries in Yipinzhai are really delicious, no wonder you must come back and bring another box to the county lord's sister." But if it is given to the county lord's sister, Jinran will have it, and Jinran will also want to eat it! ”

"Well, didn't this buy you something else?" Mu Yunge lit up the box in his hand and touched his head dotingly.

Mu Jinran's eyes lit up with joy, and she hugged Mu Yunge's hand and drooled: "Sister, you are too good to Jinran!" ”

The guy who had been sending a few people out suddenly had a clear look in his eyes, and his face was also relieved. Just now he saw that His Royal Highness King Yu and Miss Mu seemed to be looking at something, intentionally or unintentionally, and thought that Yipinzhai had done something wrong, or that something was wrong with the pastry, which led them to go and return. It turned out that I thought too much, and people came back purely because of pastries. Speaking of pastries...... The guy looked at Mu Jinran funny, he had long heard that the young master of the Mu family was a little glutton, and it was really true, it seemed that the box of snow hibiscus that Miss Mu brought back must have entered his stomach, and Miss Mu made friends with the county lord again, so she turned around and came back to buy another box.

The three of them walked hand in hand and completely walked out of the man's sight, Wei Shi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Mu Jinran's eyes full of approval: "I didn't expect that this kid Jinran was really quick, just now it was really thanks to him." ”

"Who taught you those words?" Mu Yunge was a little frightened by Mu Jinran's transformation.

How long has it been since my simple and lovely brother has been able to perceive the sinister hearts of this world?

Mu Jinran put away the soft tone she pretended, regained her crisp and calm timbre, and smiled slyly: "Don't be taught, I saw that guy didn't believe it, and I felt that I should say something." ”

"Well done." Wei Shi really couldn't help but want to praise him. Looking at Mu Yunge while speaking, he saw that his sister's face was calm, and the wisdom of the phoenix eyes flashing was fascinating, and he immediately added a sentence: "He is worthy of being your sister's good brother!" ”

However, no matter what you say, what exactly is the thing that Qing'er took away is already a mystery.

It was useless to think about it, and the two decided not to think about it for the time being, no matter what Qing'er took, it was always given to her by Concubine De, and one day, Concubine De would give him this thing.

At this time, it was not early, and Wei Shi was still in a hurry to go back to the house to deal with the things assigned by Emperor Wu before, and sent Mu Yunge's sister and brother back to the house, so he could only go back first.

In Ning Bi Pavilion, the red clothes had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw that Mu Yunge had finally come back, they hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss, Ji Rufu's matter has not yet been decided, and the son is waiting for you to reply!" ”

"Didn't he already do it there?" Mu Yunge stretched his waist tiredly: "Let him act according to the original plan, you don't have to ask me." I believe in him. ”

"But in this way, His Royal Highness King Yu will be implicated." Red-clothed said hesitantly.

Mu Yunge fell on the bed, looking at the top of the tent above her head, the picture of blue water and blue lotus was vivid, which made her mind a little sober, and she muttered to herself: "As long as it hits with one blow, this implication will also become a blessing in disguise." ”

The red clothes were stunned for a moment, and quickly retreated.

On the second day, it was time for Emperor Wu to give Qiao Fengqi the deadline, Empress Zhao and Wei Quan had already ordered Huangquan to be cut off, and only Ji Rufu was still imprisoned in the Shen Punishment Division, waiting for his fate. When Emperor Wu got up on this day, he felt very depressed in his heart, and asked Qi Chun beside him: "Qiao Fengqi is known as the reincarnation of Zhuge , can't even Ji Rufu handle it?" It's been three days, and there hasn't been any news. ”

Qi Chun raised his eyes for a moment, and thought in his heart, he could get rid of two in three days, Qiao Fengqi was already very powerful, His Majesty was clearly picking bones in eggs, and he didn't have to fight ballast, just looking for a reason to kill him.

But this is naturally not something that can be said, even if you intercede, you have to say it quietly.

Qi Chun hunched his waist and said cautiously: "It's only the third day of early rising, it's still early before dark, Your Majesty wait." ”

"Hmph." Emperor Wu exhaled a heavy ball of air in his nose, and held it on the dragon chair with his eyes closed, not wanting to move, nor wanting to answer.

For some reason, since the concubine was bedridden, he also felt that something was wrong with his body, and sometimes he couldn't lift up his strength at all.

He was afraid that Concubine De was too sick to himself, so he didn't go to Concubine De's palace for a few days, and he also recruited Mei Shaoqing to come, but Mei Shaoqing only said that he was a little tired, his sleep was not very good, and he wanted to rest more nonsense.

Speaking of tiredness, Emperor Wu yawned and felt tired again, so he instructed Qi Chun: "Fu Zhen go to sleep for a while." The New Year is not early, and there is nothing to do anyway. By the way, if Qiao Fengqi invites him to see him, you will let him hand over the fold, and you must not let him enter the palace. If he insists on entering the palace, let Wang Jian watch it. ”

As he spoke, a touch of ruthlessness flashed in the depths of Emperor Wu's eyes, and the killing intent was clear.

Qi Chun knew that Qiao Fengqi would not die for a day, and His Majesty would not be at ease after all, so he was busy hearing the sound and helped Emperor Wu to go to the inner hall to sleep for a while.

Not long after Emperor Wu lay down, the Imperial Forest Army came to pass the message: "Your Majesty, Master Pei Yongtu Pei invites him to enter the palace!" ”

"What is he here for?" Qi Chun frowned and asked a little puzzled.

Although this Pei Yongtu is the brother of Concubine De, but for so many years, Pei Yongtu has rarely invited himself to the palace, except for the necessary court tomorrow, he seems to be deliberately avoiding this imperial city, as far away as he can. This is also one of the reasons why Emperor Wu was jealous of the Pei family, but he never thought about what to do with the Pei family.

Moreover, although Pei Yongtu is the elder brother of Concubine De, the brother and sister have never been close, Concubine De is closer to her third brother Pei Yongle, after Pei Yongle's death, the brother and sister have been separated for many years, and Concubine De has been seriously ill for these days, Pei Yongtu has never visited the palace once.

How is it not surprising that such a person, who is not involved in party disputes and has nothing to do with the concubines, suddenly invited into the palace on the cusp of this storm?

Qi Chun had doubts in his heart, and he didn't dare to delay, so he went to the inner hall to gently shake Emperor Wu awake and inform him of the news of Pei Yongtu's visit.

Emperor Wu also reacted to Qi Chun, quickly dressed and got up, and Xuan Pei Yongtu went to the side hall to wait.

Soon, Emperor Wu cleaned up and announced that Pei Yongtu would come to the front hall to see him.

Pei Yongtu, who was dressed in brocade, followed the inner eunuch into the door, knocked on the ground to ask for peace, and without waiting for Emperor Wu to ask, he replied directly: "Your Majesty, the minister entered the palace today to ask His Majesty for verification. ”

"What's the matter, Aiqing asked." Emperor Wu also wondered, what could alarm this uncle of the country.

Pei Yongtu raised his eyes, his eyes were as heavy as water, and his essence was shining: "The minister wants to ask Your Majesty, is Ji Rufu now detained in the Criminal Division, and the crime he committed is unforgivable?" ”

"This ......" Emperor Wu's face changed, and he was already suspicious in his heart. How Pei Yongtu found out, he doesn't care for the time being, what he cares about is how many people know about this matter and what kind of thoughts they have.

Emperor Wu was silent, and Pei Yongtu, who knew his temperament well, had a bottom in his heart. He said loudly: "The reason why Your Majesty detained Ji Rufu is because of the bribery of the Ji family? The minister wants to ask, is there no turning point in this matter, and we must set an example to achieve the meaning of deterrence? ”

"What do you mean by love?" Emperor Wu's eyelids jumped, and he exchanged colors with Qi Chun beside him.

Accepting bribes for imperial examinations? Could this be the final answer that Qiao Fengqi gave him when the three-day period arrived?
