Mu Ziyu was shocked to realize that he had slipped his mouth, and he was stunned for a while before he found his explanation: "Didn't your family come to your house a few days ago? One day when I passed by the palace, I met him and gave him a lot of candy. ”

"Really?" Xiao Yue looked at him in disbelief, feeling that the fox couldn't believe what he said, after all, Xiaolan and Xiao Qi had never mentioned that they had seen him, but they also felt that the favor he wanted to help himself was a bit outrageous, "It's just that this matter of the emperor's heir is the emperor's family matter, and the grass people don't dare to say anything." ”

Mu Ziyu said with a flattering face: "Gongzi Wen is not an outsider, I think there are few people who can talk to the emperor now, maybe you can persuade him." ”

Xiao Yue was afraid that Mu Ziyu would know something, so she was so frightened that she retreated, and said hesitantly: "I... Why am I not an outsider? Please think twice when the prince speaks!"

"Ahem, ahem. Mu Ziyu said slightly embarrassed: "Anyway, I hope Gongzi Wen can help with this matter, otherwise... You know, we ... We are neighbors, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and we can take care of each other on the one hand, and on the other hand... He paused abruptly, then smiled slyly, "It's easy to get to the bottom of it." ”

Xiao Yue felt that her heart was pounding, these words reminded her of the masked man, and also remembered the child Mu Ziyu said just now, she was a little frightened, could it be that this Mu Ziyu knew something, she said weakly: "This matter... I'll act when I see the opportunity, and I'll act when the opportunity comes. ”

Why is this Mu Ziyu in the palace today, this matter is a long story.

During the Spring Festival, when Mu Ziyu went to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother gave him a special task, which was to persuade Yuan Chenhao to pay attention to the issue of heirs, but he never had the opportunity to mention this matter to Yuan Chenhao.

Last time, Yuan Chenhao took the initiative to go to his house to sit, and he originally wanted to take this opportunity to mention this matter, but before he could talk about the topic, the two of them ran to eavesdrop on the corner of Xiaoyue's house, and then Yuan Chenhao left with a lot of heart, which made him annoyed. And these days, when Yuan Chenhao was specializing in salt and iron, he was very busy, he didn't want to touch this mold, as soon as he remembered that he was in the military camp, after he found the woman for Yuan Chenhao, Yuan Chenhao looked at him, he felt that he was in a cold sweat behind his back, and he was trembling.

Today, he was called to the palace by the queen mother again, interrogating him about the completion of the task, he didn't dare to go, wandering in the palace, trying to find a countermeasure, but he didn't expect to see Wen Yue from afar, he thought that maybe Wen Yue could help him. Mu Ziyu was actually not sure that Xiao Yue would agree to him, he just cheated casually, but he didn't expect Xiao Yue to agree.

Although he only got an ambiguous answer from Xiao Yue, he also felt that he could push the task of passing on Xiao Yue's head to deal with the Queen Mother's inquiry. He smiled contentedly and said, "Then it's hard for Gongzi Wen, I won't delay you to see the emperor, I also have important things, goodbye." ”

After finishing speaking, Mu Ziyu looked confident and left with a smile.

Xiao Yue suddenly had a feeling of being yin, she looked at Mu Ziyu's smile, and there was always a feeling of villain's ambition.

At this time, Father-in-law Qian beside her touched the sweat on his forehead and said softly: "Oh, this Mu Wangye is finally gone, every time I see him, I am terrified, fortunately, he didn't talk to me today." ”

Xiao Yue asked curiously, "Father-in-law Qian, why are you so afraid of him?"

Father-in-law Qian whispered in a taboo voice: "Hey, don't say it, don't say it." ”

Xiaoyue took out a tael of silver from her sleeve and naturally stuffed it into her father-in-law's hand, "I don't have a chance to honor my father-in-law during this festival, this little meaning, buy a pot of wine for my father-in-law to drink." ”

Father-in-law Qian knew Xiao Yue's personality, and he was about to excuse himself, but Xiao Yue said in a low voice: "Take it quickly, someone is coming over from the other side." Frightened, Father-in-law Qian took the silver and stuffed it into his sleeve, he turned around and saw a well-dressed grandmother on the opposite side, followed by two palace maids.

Father-in-law Qian raised his arms, bent his back, rubbed his hands, lowered his head, and said respectfully: "Hello Mama Tian!"

Xiao Yue saw that the grandmother's eyes were cold, her face was old and serious, the corners of her mouth were turned downward, and the nasolabial folds on her face were very deep, she was afraid that she was not a person who was easy to get along with, she saw that this grandmother's eyes glanced at her, and she quickly lowered her head and remained silent.

"Hmm. Mama Tian said in a serious tone, "Just now someone said that I saw Lord Mu walking around here, Xiao Qian, have you ever seen him?"

Father-in-law Qian replied in a low voice: "Back to Mama Tian, the little one did see Prince Mu here just now, but he seemed to have gone east later." ”

"Got it. Mama Tian sighed, and whispered to herself as she walked: "This Mu Wang Ye is hiding with the old body, and the Queen Mother is impatient." ”

Father-in-law Qian waited for her to go away, and then covered his chest with his hand and took a mouthful, "My God, my little life is still there." Yes, yes, it's still there. ”

Xiao Yue looked at the slightly exaggerated father-in-law Qian on the side, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with you? Why are you so scared of everyone? It stands to reason that you serve in front of the emperor, and your status is not low." ”

Father-in-law Qian looked up and realized that the hour was not early, "Hey, the emperor is afraid that he is in a hurry, let's talk while walking." So, after he explained to Xiao Yue on the way, Xiao Yue learned that this Prince Mu had bought off the emperor's guards and eunuchs these days, so he wanted them to pass on the news to him to see when the emperor was empty, and then he went to talk to the emperor about the emperor's heir, but he didn't expect this matter to be known by the emperor. Then, the emperor punished all the guards who had collected the money to Changluo Prefecture to repair the canal, and the eunuchs were punished to the Huanyi Bureau to work as coolies.

Father-in-law Qian survived this time, on the one hand, because he had the benefits of Xiaoyue and was not bad for money. On the other hand, he was timid and did not dare to be greedy for the prince's money. However, when he saw Mu Ziyu now, he was terrified, for fear that he would ask him for help again.

And that Mama Tian is not an ordinary person, she is the deacon Mama next to the Queen Mother, in charge of the Queen Mother's bedroom, not only powerful, but also famous for her strict and rigorous, unsmiling. Father-in-law Qian's seniority is three levels lower than her, and when he sees her, he is naturally three points lower.

The two of them talked and went to the imperial study, according to the previous habit, Father-in-law Qian only sent her to the door of the imperial study and let her go in by herself.

Before Xiao Yue stepped into the first threshold of the imperial study, she heard a woman's voice from inside, and she was shocked, could it be that the emperor was meeting guests at this time.

Just as she was hesitating whether to step into the second threshold, Father-in-law Bao appeared in front of her with a sad face.
