"Tell you to stop and listen, don't you hear!"

Apparently sharp-eyed officers and soldiers saw their carriage. For the convenience of going out, not ostentatious, the carriage they used was just an ordinary carriage, who knew that it still attracted attention.

Mu Xuefu clenched her fists and glanced at Jing Rong. Jing Rong was holding Jing Mu in one hand, and the other hand had already touched the sword hanging on the wall of the car.

When the carriage stopped, an officer and soldier stepped forward and asked, "Where did you come from?" ”

Star Chaser said with a smile: "Hello official, we are from Linjiang City." ”

"Linjiang City? What are you doing here? The officer and soldier first looked arrogant, but seeing that the carriage was not rich but gorgeous, it should also be a rich family, and his words were not as arrogant as just now.

Chasing the star had already cut this person with a thousand knives in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face, "Our head of the family is engaged in the trading of medicinal materials, and this time he is going to Beijing to buy medicinal materials." ”

"Herbs?" The officers and soldiers circled around the carriage, their eyes rolling slightly, "Why don't I feel like it?" His voice suddenly sharpened, "I think I'd better investigate it thoroughly, don't be some kind of rogue thief!" As he spoke, he reached for the curtain.

Killing intent flashed in the eyes of the chasing star, but he didn't dare to act rashly, and the people in the carriage were also highly nervous, even their breathing became subtle, and even Jing Mu, who was chattering along the way, closed their mouths tightly.

The fingers touched the Hua Bu, and it was about to be opened, and the hidden knife of the star chasing had already been spent, and the cold blade slashed through the luster like a needle and thread.

"Stop!" A loud shout sounded, and the startled officer and soldier's hand shook and quickly let go.

"Uncle Guo." Seeing the visitor, the officer and soldier changed his arrogant appearance just now, humbly like a grandson, nodded his head, and wanted to kneel on the ground, "Why are you here?" ”

The man was not angry and arrogant, with a pair of sideburns and long eyebrows, this man was none other than Mu Zhaolin's eldest son, Mu Yurong's brother Mu Zemao.

His cold gaze swept the immovable car curtain, and then looked at the officers and soldiers, "You don't check at the city gate, what are you doing here?" ”

The officers and soldiers paused slightly, and said hesitantly: "This carriage was supposed to enter the city, but it suddenly turned its head, and the humble position felt strange, so he stopped and inquired." ”

The star chaser's heart was "banging", looking at Mu Zemao.

Mu Xuefu heard Mu Zemao's voice and breathed a sigh of relief. Mu Zemao's eyelashes drooped, and his hand grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, "Your duty is to inspect the people who enter the imperial city, not to let go of even the people outside the city." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The officers and soldiers listened to Mu Zemao's tone was not good, and they were flattering in their hearts. It's just that he squinted at the carriage again, raised his eyebrows, and hesitated: "But--but this carriage is really strange, and the lower officials are also afraid-"

"Do what you should do in your position, don't be smart." Mu Zemao interrupted coldly, the cold light in his eyes flashed like a steel knife, and he shivered from the cold.

"Uncle Guo's lesson is that he should be taught in a humble position." The officer and soldier only felt sweating all over, sweat on the back of his back, damp and cold.

"Not yet!"

"Yes, yes."

The officer and soldier left as absurdly as fleeing, and Mu Zemao saw him go away, so he also left. Although he didn't meet Mu Xuefu, he said when he passed by chasing stars, "Meet at the Yuelai Inn on the outskirts of the city when you are there." ”

According to Mu Zemao's words, they went straight to the inn, and now that they were heavily guarded, they couldn't enter the city at all, so they could only hope for him.

When the appointed time came, he appeared, looked around to make sure no one was following him, and entered the room.

"Big brother, how is the emperor and queen?" When Mu Xuefu saw him, he first asked about the situation in the palace, and now he is the only one left in the Mu family who is still on an errand.

"What's wrong with the emperor and queen?" He asked, his eyes unexpectedly saw Wanru, he wondered, "Wanru, you are not in the palace, how can you be with King Chen and them?" ”

He hadn't been in the palace for a long time, and he didn't know how his sister was doing. I only know that the emperor is sick, and the queen mother temporarily takes over the government.

"Eldest prince, please save Miss, Miss is imprisoned in Weiyang Palace, and now I don't know what the situation is." Wan was as anxious, her knees were weak, and she slammed on the ground.

"Hurry up, why do you always kneel?" Mu Xuefu raised her face and asked Qing Zhuo to help her up, "Tell the eldest prince what you said to me again." ”

Wanru told the ins and outs of this matter again, which shocked Mu Zemao's face with shock. It's just that his shock was very long, as if there were one thing after another that shocked him.

Suddenly, he said in a deep voice, "A few days ago, Wanxi's body was found in a ruined temple in the suburbs, and a package full of gold, silver and jewelry was also found on her body. Some people suspect that Wanxi stole the queen's jewelry, and then fled with the money while leaving the palace to run errands. But she didn't escape long before she met the bad guys and was killed. ”

"Impossible, Wanxi and I are both people who have served the queen mother since childhood, her personality is not only me, but also the queen mother knows it very well, she will not do such a thing." Wanru was excited in her heart, of course she knew that Wanxi was a person. With her character, she will not do anything to be sorry for the queen, let alone choose to betray the queen when she is in danger, and choose to fly away.

When she thought of her sister's tragic death, Wanru couldn't stop crying, she couldn't believe that her sister, who had been together for nearly 20 years, had suffered such a tragic end.

"Wanxi must have been killed by the Queen Mother's people, it must be. They killed Wanxi, and they were afraid of finding out, so they casually charged Wanxi! ”

Seeing that she was emotional, Jin Lu stepped forward to support her and comforted: "Don't be excited, we all know that Wanxi was wronged, don't worry, Wanxi will not die in vain, one day she will be wronged." ”

Mu Xuefu's heart was in turmoil, as if Nezha was in her heart, her anxiety, worry, and worry were all written on her face, and she stood there for a long time without saying a word.

Mu Zemao had a hint of worry between his eyebrows, but comforted Mu Xuefu and said, "You don't have to worry too much, the emperor and Rong'er will be fine." He looked at Jing Rong, "It's the prince, who entered Beijing without permission, and other complicity in rebellion, once discovered, the prince can't afford this crime." ”

"Now that the emperor is in danger, whether as a courtier or as a descendant of the Jing family, he can't ignore it." Jing Rong didn't care, he had his pride and his responsibility. Even if he didn't fight for the position of emperor, he would never allow the Jing royal family to be controlled by his surname.

Mu Xuefu was clear in a trance, and asked Mu Zemao: "Why is my father idle at home?" ”

In fact, when Wanru said this, she was puzzled. To say that she still knows Mu Zhaolin, it is not a small number that she has eliminated political enemies for him for so many years.

Yes, what he did was to support Jing Yu, but in fact, he was also cultivating party members for himself and eradicating dissidents. Mu Xuefu never believed that the support of a politician would be completely for the sake of the dragon's success, in fact, in the final analysis, it was for himself to get greater power in the political arena in the future.

It can be said that most of Jingyu's supporters are his people, and after Jingyu ascended the throne, he can also be called a powerful government and opposition, and the family is dominant.

But why did he suddenly retreat in a rapid rapids because he knew that the power in his hands was actually a double-edged knife? Because he knew that no emperor would allow a monopoly in the imperial court? That's why after Jingyu was able to control the government, he chose to retreat bravely?

An intriguing expression flashed on Mu Zemao's face, pursed his lips, and said: "Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has been diligent in political affairs, the country and the people are safe, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the governance of Great Qin has become more prosperous. My father was happy to see him, knowing that the emperor was mature and did not need his help. What's more, my father knows that since ancient times, the emperor's skill has been the most important trade-off, plus he is the national abbot, the father of the queen, and his relatives are in power, which is even more intolerable. Therefore, my father chose to resign and stay at home. ”

"I see." Mu Xuefu poured out unconsciously, and she didn't know why she was a little nervous just now. Thinking about it, Mu Zhaolin is a smart person, of course he knows when to advance and when to retreat.

Mu Zemao changed the topic, "It's too dangerous for you to enter the city so rashly, even if you enter the city, what can you do?" ”

Jing Rong pondered for a moment and said: "The most important thing now is to wake up the emperor, as long as the emperor wakes up, the queen mother will do nothing." ”

Mu Zemao was worried, and his eyebrows swelled, "You want to enter the palace?" It's too hard. ”

"It's not good to be bright, isn't it okay for God to be unaware?" Mu Xuefu smiled and glanced at Jingrong, "With our skills, this is not a problem at all. ”

Jing Rong looked back gently, and then looked at Mu Zemao, "It's just that we can't enter the city now." ”

Mu Zemao thought for a while and said, "It's not difficult, I'm going out of the city tomorrow to run errands, and when I go back, a few of you men will dress up as guards to follow, and Fu'er and a few of them will follow me in the carriage, and no one will dare to check my car." ”

"Okay, so decide." Mu Xuefu said.

On the second day, they entered the city as they had previously discussed. The carriage did not stop, and went directly to Mingyinlou, where did he dare to go back to the palace at this time, even the original Zhenguo General's Mansion did not dare to go.

When the shopkeeper of Mingyin Building saw Mu Xuefu coming, he was first overjoyed and wanted to come forward to greet him, but he was choked by Mu Xuefu's eyes and did not dare to step forward.

Mu Xuefu gave him a color, and his eyes glanced at Mu Zemao, he was still clever and immediately understood.

"Uncle Guo, what kind of wind is blowing you, please hurry up, please sit upstairs." The shopkeeper smiled, and flowers were about to be squeezed out of his face.

Jiang Yueyao arrived at the Imperial City one step ahead of them, waiting for them.

"Why did I get there, I arrived yesterday." As soon as she came in, Jiang Yueyao complained, and then hugged Jing Mu, "You too, you know that there is danger, why do you still bring Mu Mu?" ”

Jing Mu hugged her neck, raised her face, and said coquettishly: "Because Mu Mu knew that she could see Aunt Yaoyao when she came here, she asked her father and mother to bring me here." Mu Mu misses Aunt Yaoyao so much. ”

Jing Mu's mouth was sweet, and Jiang Yueyao listened to the beauty in her heart. hugged and kissed and kissed, "My Mu Mu is so cute, Aunt Yao miss you, you see that Aunt Yao has lost weight, I miss what you think." ”

Jing Mu looked left and right, it was also true, and he opened his mouth and said, "Aunt Yaoyao, you still need to work hard to lose weight." ”
