The next day, the news of the death of the lord of Ronghua came out of the capital.

When Mu Xiaochu heard this, he didn't have time to eat the fruit in his stunned hand, and asked the maid next to him, "What you said is true?" ”

"Back to the princess, it's true, and this matter is still coming from the palace." The maid replied.

Mu Xiaochu fell into deep thought, and she asked, "Do you know what Ronghua is and how he died?" ”

"It was said to be yesterday at noon."

Mu Xiaochu, "...... Are you sure? ”

The maid nodded again.

This time, Mu Xiaochu directly waved his hand to let people go down.

Wasn't that just after Lord Ronghua came to look for her at noon yesterday?

Could it be that Ronghua was killed after leaving here yesterday?

Thinking of this possibility, Mu Xiaochu felt a little chilled in his heart.

I always feel that this kind of thing is not good anyway before getting married.

The fruit in her hand fell to the ground when she was thinking, startling Mu Xiaochu.

"Xiao Chu-" Not far away, Qi Ziyan's voice came.

After seeing the departing maid and then contacting Mu Xiaochu's actions at this time, he immediately understood that it was too late for him to come back.

"This matter has nothing to do with Xiao Chu, she will lose her life if she offends herself." Qi Ziyan walked quickly to Mu Xiaochu's side, and his broad hand held Mu Xiaochu's hand tightly, comforting.

Seeing the other party's slightly pale face, I felt distressed for a while, especially after feeling the coldness in my hands, I was even more distressed.

Mu Xiaochu muttered, "But she only had an accident after she left here." ”

Her gaze was a little glazed, as if someone she knew had died.

I couldn't accept it for a while.

Although she and Ronghua have nothing to do with each other, when she thinks that the other party was assassinated after she left her, there is always a voice in her heart that tells her that Ronghua's death is related to her.

Seeing the sluggish person in front of him, Qi Ziyan shouted, "Xiao Chu-"

Mu Xiaochu looked at Qi Ziyan slowly.

Qi Ziyan grabbed the man, hugged the person into his arms, and comforted him softly, "Don't think too much, the emperor has already sent someone to investigate this matter." ”

Mu Xiaochu took a deep breath, softened for a while, and then spoke, "I know, I just didn't react for a while, I'm fine." As he spoke, he leaned against Qi Ziyan's chest behind him and explained.

Qi Ziyan combed the broken hair scattered on Mu Xiaochu's face, and said softly, "It's okay." ”

But soon a person came, saying that it was Father-in-law Qian in the palace, and wanted to find Mu Xiaochu to enter the palace for questioning.

Looking at the father-in-law Qian who was not far from him, Qi Ziyan's eyes were cold, and his voice was clear: "Tell Your Majesty, we will go soon." ”

Father-in-law Qian was very clever to hear the meaning of Qi Ziyan's words, and said respectfully: "Back to the regent's words, Your Majesty said that only Miss Mu should go alone." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he only felt that he was being targeted by something, and his body was uncomfortable, and when he looked up, he saw Qi Ziyan's viper-like gaze looking at him.

Gonggong Qian only broke out in a cold sweat in his head, but because of the emperor's instructions, he still said the meaning tactfully, "Your Majesty just wants to ask Miss Mu to ask about the situation, and Miss Mu will not be hurt." ”

"Since it's just an inquiry, why is it only called Xiao Chu, you must know that Lord Ronghua had an accident after he went out of my palace."

Father-in-law Qian, "......"

He naturally knew about this, but he didn't dare to disobey the emperor's order.

During this period, Mu Xiaochu didn't speak, although she didn't know what the emperor meant, but subconsciously he believed what Gonggong Qian said: The emperor would not let her get hurt, but she believed it.

Too many things have happened in this year, and Di Chulin, who she finally had a good impression of, has become the emperor in nearly half a year, and the identity gap between them has also made her lose the only good impression she has for him.

It seems that her biggest wish now is to marry the person next to her.

Sensing that the person in his arms had been looking at him, Qi Ziyan lowered his head and approached, and asked, "What's the matter, but I found that I love me a little more." ”

Mu Xiaochu, "......"

Although Ziyan treats her a lot better than before, her sultry skills have also strengthened now......

"Ahem-" Mu Xiaochu looked at Gonggong Qian, who was still there, "Tell Your Majesty that I'll go later." ”

"Don't go!" As soon as Mu Xiaochu finished speaking, Qi Ziyan tightened the person into his arms again, and his tone was eager and a little angry.

It seems to be annoyed by the other party's self-inflicted assertions.

However, after seeing the other party's big watery eyes, his heart softened, "That's it, since you want to go, let's go, but as the master of the Regent government, it is necessary for me to go." ”

Qi Ziyan finally looked at Gonggong Qian again, who came to deliver the message, "Tell the Holy Lord, we will go later." ”

The tone of non-committal interrupted what Father-in-law Qian was about to say, and he only nodded in response, "Yes, the miscellaneous family, I will go back to Your Majesty." ”

After speaking, he left the Regent's Mansion in a panic.

After the people left, Mu Xiaochu raised his eyes and asked, "The relationship between the emperor and the lord of Ronghua is very good?" ”

"It doesn't matter, if you want to say that it really has anything to do with it, I'm afraid it's that layer of family affection that can be faint to be ignored."

After Qi Ziyan finished speaking, Mu Xiaochu understood.

She asked, "Then this is the Hongmen Banquet?" ”

"Whether it's or not, don't worry about Xiao Chu, you just need to be my bride in a month." Qi Ziyan pinched Mu Xiaochu's fleshy cheeks, and his jet-black eyes were full of doting and habitual love.

At the same time, in the palace, Di Chulin was staying in the imperial study and walking back and forth, as if he was thinking about something, and after a long time, he stopped, took a sip of the teacup on the table, and finally calmed down a lot.

"Back to Your Majesty, Father-in-law Qian is back." A little eunuch came to give a message.

When Di Chulin heard it, he directly called people in.

"Back to Your Majesty, Miss Mu has already agreed to come over." Father-in-law Qian replied below.

"Is that true?" There was undisguised joy in Di Chulin's tone.

Although Father-in-law Qian didn't know why Di Chulin was so happy, he also knew that it was not his business as a eunuch, but when he thought of more than one person coming, he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Yes, but the regent said that he is the master of the regency, and the affairs of the lord of Ronghua also have something to do with him, so he said that he would accompany Miss Mu to come." After Father-in-law Qian finished speaking, he felt a chill pass by his body.

He didn't dare to look at Di Chulin's face, so frightened that he directly began to kowtow and apologize, "It's the slave's fault, the slave is not doing well, ask Your Majesty to punish him." ”

"Now that you know, go and get the punishment!"

“！！！” Father-in-law Qian, "The slave is going now." ”

However, when he first got up, because of his weak legs, he didn't get up several times, and in the end, Di Chulin couldn't stand it anymore, so he directly asked the secret guard to take people away.

At this time, there was only Di Chulin in the study.

Looking at the mountains of twists and turns, he was not in the mood to look at it at all.

Thinking of Mu Xiaochu's attitude towards him again, his face became even worse.

"Go and call Situ Yanran over."

Suddenly, Di Chulin said to the little eunuch outside the door.

"Yes."

Although the little eunuch at the door didn't understand His Majesty's will, he still obediently called Situ Yanran over.

The carriage met at the gate of the palace, and as soon as Mu Xiaochu got off the carriage, he met Situ Yanran, who had just arrived.

One of them came slowly without hurry, and the other came later because of how long it took to dress up.

After the two met, Situ Yexi wanted to go over to say hello, but when he saw Qi Ziyan who came down later, his body stiffened, and his movements stopped, and Qi Ziyan took Mu Xiaochu's hand and entered the palace gate as if he didn't see her.

Situ Yanran, who reacted, was unwilling to be ignored, stepped forward to stop the two of them in a few steps, and said understandingly: "Miss Mu, in front of the public, is it harmful to do this." ”

Situ Yanran said and looked at the clasped hands of the two, which obviously meant that it was not right for them to hold hands like this.

Mu Xiaochu didn't answer and asked, "You live by the sea?" ”

"What?" Situ Yanran didn't understand Mu Xiaochu's words, and asked suspiciously.

"Since your family doesn't live by the sea, what do you care about it?" Mu Xiaochu didn't give the other party a look after speaking, he directly took Qi Ziyan's hand and blatantly bypassed Situ Yanran, and strode inside.

Looking at the people who walked by her, Situ Yanran was extremely resentful, but when she thought of what happened to her recently, she pursed her lips and didn't dare to say more, and quickly followed them to meet the emperor.

Soon, Mu Xiaochu saw his father-in-law who came to pick them up.

"Miss Mu, Lord Regent, please come here, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time."

As he spoke, he pointed in one direction.

When they were about to leave again, they found Situ Yanran behind them,

also took advantage of the other party's anger before he said: "Miss Yanran, Your Majesty also asks you to come over." ”

Situ Yanran, who thought that she had been neglected, was obviously relieved after hearing the other party's words, and said with a decent smile on her face: "In this way, there will be Gonggong Lao." ”

"Where is Miss Yanran, this is what the miscellaneous family should do."

However, he didn't forget Mu Xiaochu and the others, and said more respectfully: "Regent, Mu Xiaochu please." ”

Seeing that her father-in-law was so respectful to Mu Xiaochu, Situ Yanran said that it was all fake if she was not jealous, obviously she didn't have any official position, and she was afraid that she would receive such good treatment, but after seeing Qi Ziyan beside her, the other party would treat her so well in Qi Ziyan's face, and for a while she was a little envious that she had someone who liked her so much, and the other party was so good!

Pretending to be shocked, he followed them, and his heart was full of resentment.

After Qi Ziyan in front of her noticed it, she snorted coldly in her heart: It seems that Situ Yexi's attack is still too light, otherwise how could the other party come to the palace with such an identity.

Several people walked with different thoughts, and after a while, they came to the imperial study.

At this time, Di Chulin was sitting on the top, and after seeing the person coming, Man Man put down the pen in his hand, and said with a gentle smile on his face: "Let's sit down first." ”

Looking at the chair that had been prepared in advance, Qi Ziyan unceremoniously thanked him and pulled Mu Xiaochu to sit down.

Compared with Mu Xiaochu and Qi Ziyan's casualness, Situ Yanran was much more decent, she first thanked her respectfully, and then walked to the chair prepared for her with small steps, her hands folded on her legs, and her posture was very upright.
