Mu Yan looked at Shen Li, and when he saw that he was still silent, he knew that there must be a problem. Mu Zilian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I haven't had time to say it yet, I think it's better for my sister to tell my sister." ”

"Sister, you set off for the Night Country, and you never returned. His Majesty was worried, so he sent a message to the Night Kingdom to inquire about the news. The answer I got was that sister, you had already left and returned to Beijing. But you didn't come back, and it was probably something happened halfway. His Majesty sent Li Yuanlong, a squire of the military department, to investigate, but found nothing. And my sister I accidentally found the red thread on my finger at home, so I took the initiative to come to Your Majesty. Sister, do you still remember the thread that grandpa pulled for us back then? I am no longer favored, but I also have the blood of the Mu family in my body, so the fate of the two of us is destined to be inseparable. ”

"You brought Your Majesty here?"

Mu Yan was very calm, she really didn't know about the red line to be honest, but seeing Shen Li's attitude, it seemed that it was really as Mu Zilian said.

Mu Zilian nodded, answering Mu Yan's doubts. Mu Yan was clear, and said, "That...... What promise did Your Majesty make to you?"

As soon as these words came out, Mu Zilian and Shen Li were both stunned. On weekdays, some flattering people will inevitably praise Queen Mu for being dignified and generous, and Bing Xue is smart. In fact, Mu Yan did see many things very thoroughly.

Just like now, if there wasn't anything else to say, Shen Li wouldn't have been silent all the time, and Mu Zilian wouldn't have come to the bottom of the cliff from afar to play a sisterhood with her here.

"Heh~" Mu Zilian came back to her senses and chuckled, "My sister is really smart." I'm starting to understand a little bit now why Grandpa always likes you so much. ”

"Say it. ”

Mu Yan was not in a hurry or annoyed, and said lightly: "Didn't you deliberately make such a trip, just to talk about it in front of me." I'm listening, you speak slowly. ”

"Smoke, I'm ......"

At this time, Shen Li, who had been silent, suddenly couldn't help it, and just as he was about to explain something, he heard Mu Zilian take the first step and say: "Your Majesty has promised me, as long as you help him find you, he will accept me as a concubine." ”

"Oh?"

Mu Yan raised his eyebrows, saying that he was not surprised, it was absolutely impossible. However, she had expected that nothing good would happen to Mu Zilian here, so she was somewhat mentally prepared. She glanced at Shen Li and saw that his brows were deep and his face was not good. It seems that he doesn't know how to justify, so he has been silent as a tacit acquiescence.

"You don't joke, since Your Majesty has already promised you, then find a good day after you go back, and then do it. Speaking of which, I heard that all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty persuaded His Majesty to take a concubine, but His Majesty refused. In fact, I live alone in this huge harem, and I am indeed a little lonely. It's good that my sister wants to come to accompany me, on the one hand, it is just to block the mouths of those ministers, so that Your Majesty will be less troubled, and besides, this future will be more fun, right?"

Mu Yan was unexpectedly not angry, but said something generous and decent, quite open-minded. Such a high wind and bright festival obviously made Mu Zilian unexpected, and even Shen Li was a little stunned.

"Smoke, you ......"

Shen Li's unspoken words were interrupted by Mu Yan, she shook her head with a smile, stood on tiptoe slightly and leaned into Shen Li's ear and said, "Don't show such a surprised expression. Zilian herself has defended you, why should I blame you? Accept the concubine, anyway, I know that in His Majesty's heart, Mu Yan is always the most important, it is enough. ”

Shen Li's eyes grew warmer, and he was quite moved, pulled her hand tightly, and nodded wordlessly.

Seeing that Mu Yan and Shen Li were still sweet and sweet, Mu Zilian couldn't help but be angry. I have occasionally heard that it is said that the third princess Mu Yan, who married into the palace, has changed her temperament greatly. She visited several times later for the matter of the Imperial Soul Wall, and did find that Mu Yan had changed somewhat, but she didn't delve into it at that time. Now it seems that she underestimated Mu Yan's ability. Otherwise, according to her previous temperament, she would have been making trouble by this time.

But it doesn't matter! After all, the matter of the concubine is completed, and no matter how you say it, she can be regarded as taking back a city. When she stays in the harem, she will see who is more capable.

In the imperial capital, the news that the emperor and the queen both returned safely finally made all the civil and military officials breathe a sigh of relief. Immediately afterwards, Shen Li's decision to accept Empress Mu's sister Mu Zilian as a concubine caused an uproar.

The civil and military officials originally hoped that Shen would leave the concubine, so no one objected to anything. What made them curious was that they had tried to persuade them several times before, and they even provoked Long Yan to be furious. This time, His Majesty took the initiative to decide to accept a concubine, and this move made them completely confused.

The most talked-about thing is Queen Mu's attitude. It is said that she is going to the Night Country, and successfully convinces the Night King to surrender. It was a great achievement, but he encountered an ambush on the way back. The expert guards sent by His Majesty to protect her all died except for Lord Haluo, the commander of the Yulin Army. Queen Mu had a great fortune and escaped by luck. As soon as Her Majesty was found back at this time, she heard that she was going to take a concubine, but she was not angry at all, and she still lived as usual.

So everyone began to speculate, could it be ...... Isn't it her sister who married her sister, and she wants the two sisters to serve His Majesty together and dominate the harem?

A few days later, Weiyang Palace.

A certain girl who had just recovered from a serious illness ran angrily to the master who was lying comfortably basking in the sun on the chair, put her hands on her waist and stared at her eyes and said angrily: "Miss, Your Majesty wants to accept the second lady as a concubine, do you know?"

Mu Yan took off the book covering his face, squinted his eyes and said, "I know." It's still with my approval. ”

“......”

Hongluan walked around since the ghost door was closed, and his courage was getting bigger and bigger. Hearing this, he reached out and touched Mu Yan's forehead.

"Master, I think you're definitely sick now, and it's not as serious as usual. I think it's necessary for Imperial Doctor Xuan to come and show you. Now, there may still be hope. ”

Mu Yan smiled, opened one eye and glanced at Hongluan. "Girl, I found that your guts are getting fatter and fatter now. You've changed the law and said I'm brain-dead, aren't you?"

Hongluan didn't understand what it meant, waved his hand and said irritably: "I don't care if it's crippled or not, is the young lady really generous or can't think about it? Not to mention that Your Majesty is not right, it's still the second young lady! I don't understand, I fell off the cliff the worst, right? I didn't break my brain, which play did you and Your Majesty play?"

Mu Yan sat up and threw the book on the table in front of him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is playing a hero to save beauty, your second lady...... The act is to rob while the fire is hot. ”

"What about you, miss?"

"Me?"

Mu Yan hooked the corners of his lips, and his eyes flashed with light. "I'm playing...... It's called the plan!"
