Xiaoyao, but every day she is afraid that she will do something wrong, her hands are not tired, but her heart is very tired.

As soon as the Queen Mother's illness recovered, Emperor Qi Wen held a banquet in the palace.

At this time, winter has come, the people in the palace have worn more clothes, in the Chaolong Palace, all the concubines are dressed up in flowers, and have been congratulating the queen mother, the queen and the concubine are sitting on the left and right of Emperor Qi Wen, the concubine is dressed quite plainly, but she talks with Emperor Qi Wen very happily.

And Mu Wanqing sat next to the Queen Mother, taking care of the Queen Mother's diet, even if it was the food at today's banquet, it was arranged by Mu Wanqing herself.

"The concubine's face became more and more ruddy when she looked at the queen mother." Yufei smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you have to reward Mrs. well." ”

"I already gave a pair of night pearls to Qing'er a few days ago."

"Your Majesty, is it the pair of night pearls that you paid tribute to?" Mu Yanrong suddenly became interested.

Emperor Qi Wen nodded and said, "Exactly, I saw that the color of the pearl that night was good, so I rewarded it to Qing'er." ”

The smile on Mu Yanrong's face was a little unbearable, everyone knew that she had begged Emperor Qi Wen for that pair of night pearls, but Emperor Qi Wen refused, and now she rewarded Mu Wanqing.

The concubines in the harem all know that they don't dare to talk nonsense at the moment.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, Yufei saw this, only blamed herself for talking too much, and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you let the concubine play a song to help the fun?" ”

Emperor Qi Wen liked Yufei to play the piano very much, so he agreed.

The palace maid hurriedly brought Yufei's piano, and after everything was ready, Yufei sat down and began to play.

The sound of Yufei's piano is like a blue lotus in the pool, lush and green, and like a gust of breeze, bathing people's hearts, only feeling fresh and intoxicating, tactfully returning to the intestines.

"Concubine Shu's piano plays very well, but you, you don't like things like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since you were a child." The Queen Mother said to Mu Wanqing.

Mu Wanqing smiled slightly: "The Queen Mother loves to make fun of Qing'er." ”

Yufei was still playing, and her sound was crisp, like a bead falling into a jade plate, striking a pleasant rhythm.

At this time, Yufei saw Manyuan walk in from outside and said a word in Mu Yanrong's ear, Mu Yanrong's expression became nervous, but it was fleeting. She looked at Mu Yanrong without a trace until Mu Yanrong left the table early.

Emperor Gaozu has long stipulated that harem women are not allowed to intervene in political affairs, but the Mu family has a huge influence in the court, and even Emperor Qi Wen can't help it, and Mu Yanrong, together with Mu Qizhi, has repeatedly interfered with the affairs of the court, and Mu Yanrong even manipulated Huo Huan and understood political affairs carefully.

But what Yufei cares more about is Mu Yanrong's secret letter.

The moonlight walked among the lush halls, white, and wanted to break through the silver and soft water, for fear that the sharp corners of the palace eaves would break its tranquility.

Mu Wanqing asked Zhi Ning to hold some more lamps while she was still copying.

"Miss, it's late at night, why don't you copy it tomorrow." Zhining yawned repeatedly.

"These scriptures are going to be read by the Queen Mother on the day of civilization, I will finish copying them soon, you go to sleep first." Mu Wanqing said without raising her head.

Zhining was helpless, but she refused to go to bed first, so she had to sit on a chair and doze off.

The candles in the hall were burning, red tears were dripping silently on the candlesticks, and Mu Wanqing couldn't help yawning.

Only the sound of her occasionally flipping through a book, such a night is so peaceful.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open suddenly, the cold wind blew in, and the thin paper was turned over with a clatter, Mu Wanqing raised her head and saw a person in a night suit.

She was shocked, she didn't expect that there were assassins in the palace, but when the man in black saw Mu Wanqing, he unhurriedly put a dagger on Zhi Ning's neck, telling Mu Wanqing not to act rashly. Mu Wanqing's face turned pale, Zhi Ning had already fallen asleep, and she heard a subtle but complicated sound of footsteps outside throughout the entire Zhengshou Palace.

"Don't hurt her." Mu Wanqing couldn't care about copying anymore, and hurriedly said.

"Go out and help me out." The man in black's gaze was sharp.

Mu Wanqing listened to this voice, it seemed that this assassin was a man, she thought about it, and went to open the cabinet under the Bodhisattva: "This was originally to put some scriptures, but I just took the scriptures out yesterday to sort them out, and you hid in it." ”

The man in black looked at Mu Wanqing, without a trace of hesitation, and quickly hid in.

She closed the cabinet door before she breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk out.

At this time, the courtyard of Zhengshou Palace was full of people, and some Yulinwei held torches to illuminate the entire courtyard, and Mu Wanqing saw that it was Manyuan who took the lead.

Mu Wanqing calmly took a few steps forward, looked around, and asked pretending to be puzzled, "What happened in the middle of the night?" ”

"Madam, why don't you go to bed so late?" The dark light in Manyuan's eyes flickered.

"Just now I was copying scriptures for the Queen Mother in the side hall, and I came out to see it when I heard a voice."

Manyuan didn't doubt Mu Wanqing's words, as soon as the man in black fled to Zhengshou Palace, she brought Yu Linwei over, and she didn't have enough time to change clothes, and she might also cover up.

Manyuan looked at the side hall, which was still brightly lit, and said, "Just now, there was an assassin who visited Fengren Palace at night and stole the things of the queen mother, and now I will come to arrest him." ”

Mu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, she couldn't imagine that the man in black had gone to Fengren Palace to steal something, and asked, "Did the assassin enter Zhengshou Palace?" ”

"Just now I chased all the way, and the assassin climbed over the palace wall of Zhengshou Palace." Manyuan said expressionlessly.

Mu Wanqing's whole body trembled, and hurriedly said: "What's the matter, if that assassin hurts the Queen Mother, it will be terrible, you go and search, you must search for the assassin." ”

Manyuan didn't expect Mu Wanqing to be so obedient, she didn't want to harbor assassins, she just wanted to send someone to search, but she thought that this was the residence of the Queen Mother, and if she disturbed the Queen Mother, it would be troublesome.

But the assassin must find it, and he must get the secret letter back!

"Except for the Queen Mother's bedroom, all of them will be searched carefully." As soon as Manyuan's voice fell, Yu Linwei dispersed, went to search, and bombarded the palace maids and eunuchs into the courtyard, not letting go of any corner.

But Manyuan moved to the side hall and saw Zhining lying there asleep.

"This seems to be a maidservant brought in from outside, isn't it?" Manyuan looked at the side hall, and there was no place to hide in it.

Mu Wanqing's chest rose and fell rapidly, for fear that Manyuan would find something.

"Yes, her name is Zhining, she sharpened ink for me just now, and she fell asleep when she was too sleepy." Mu Wanqing explained.
