Concubine Ai didn't seem to be able to persuade Lou Xiyu. On the way back to Zhaoyang Palace, Mu Qingjue's eyes were uncertain, looked at Lu Qiao, and said.

"Your Majesty, just wait, General Lou will figure it out, even if he doesn't care about his own life, he will definitely take care of the rest of the Lou family. Green Qiao said, with a determined look.

Mu Qingjue didn't say anything more, but at the fork in the road in the imperial garden, he separated from Lu Qiao, Lu Qiao returned to Zhaoyang Palace, but Mu Qingjue went to the imperial study.

Before he could take two steps, Mu Qingjue stopped and said to Tianquan behind him: "Go and keep an eye on her, see what she moves, if there is anything abnormal, come and report it immediately." ”

After that, Mu Qingjue left directly, but Tianquan followed Lu Qiao to Zhaoyang Palace, and monitored Lu Qiao's every move on Mu Qingjue's orders.

After Lu Qiao returned to Zhaoyang Palace, he did not let the lotus leaf and lotus seed serve them, but locked himself in the room, and drew the topographic map on paper with the road he had just followed Mu Qingjue, as well as the guards and routes near the prison, and marked the distribution of the guards.

After everything was done, Lu Qiao put everything away and let the room return to its original state, and there was no difference to be seen, and at this moment, the voice of the lotus leaf sounded outside the room:

"Mother, it's time for dinner. ”

"Got it, Hongu will come out in a while. Lu Qiao responded, looked around the room, and there was nothing wrong with it, so he opened the door, walked out, and went to the dining hall with the lotus leaf.

At the moment when Lu Qiao and Lotus Ye left, Tianquan jumped in through the window, walked directly to the place where Lu Qiao collected the topographic map, took the topographic map, and hurriedly left, heading towards the imperial study.

The words were divided into two ends, Mu Qingjue returned to the imperial study, thinking about what Lu Qiao had done recently, and there was a burst of anger in his heart. Lu Qiao has a connection with the outside of the palace, but he doesn't know who the person who is in contact with Lu Qiao is, and he only knows that Lu Qiao's identity is not simple, maybe from the beginning of entering the palace, it is a move that has been arranged.

"Your Majesty, there is a major discovery. Tianquan came in from outside, walked to Mu Qingjue's side, bowed down and said, and handed the map in his hand to Mu Qingjue's hand.

Mu Qingjue opened the piece of paper, and looked at the guards of the heavenly prison and the terrain very clearly and clearly on the paper, and had a new understanding of Lu Qiao's ability in his heart. He didn't know who Lu Qiao's back was, and what exactly he wanted Lou Xiyu's position in the prison to do, but he had to be prepared.

"Put this map back in Qingfei's dormitory intact, so that she can't find it, and even if she sends this map out, there must be no obstruction. Mu Qingjue suddenly gave an order.

"Your Majesty, why is this? It took us so much effort to catch Lou Xiyu, if someone comes to rescue him, won't all the previous efforts be in vain?" Tianquan was very puzzled.

"Who said that I wanted Lou Xiyu to be rescued? This topographic map is dead, but the guards of the prison are alive, and I want to make this map a waste map. Mu Qingjue said, his smile was sinister, but just this sentence made Tianquan understand what he meant.

Let Lu Qiao pass this map out, but the deployment of the prison and the place where Lou Xiyu is held will change immediately, so that even if someone enters the palace to save Lou Xiyu, what awaits them is just a trap.

Tianquan took the order and left, and Mu Qingjue was suddenly left alone in the entire imperial study. Thinking of the time when Lu Qiao entered the palace, he was indeed a lot happier than before, no matter what happened, as long as he went to Zhaoyang Palace, Lu Qiao always had a way to make him happy, he originally thought that there was always someone in this world who was sincere to himself, but he didn't expect that even Lu Qiao, who he had always trusted, had other masters behind him.

Who the master is, I don't know, it may be a powerful minister of the Tianxing Kingdom, or it may be a prince with bad intentions, it may be a fine work of the enemy country, no matter what his identity is, he can only say that during the time that Lu Qiao entered the palace, he was really well disguised, if it wasn't for the Lou family's incident, if it wasn't for Qiao Yueying who just saw Lu Qiao and the message outside the palace, he probably didn't know until now, Lu Qiao had ill intentions.

But even so, he didn't immediately make a move on Lu Qiao, just like he subconsciously hugged Lu Qiao in the prison to keep warm, and Lu Qiao already had a position in his heart that no one else could replace.

Mu Qingjue thought of this, closed his eyes, and fell into a contradiction in his mind, for the contradiction of a woman like Lu Qiao, he knew that she was poison, but he still couldn't do it, he didn't hesitate to Lou Xiyu, a brother who grew up together, but he couldn't do it to Lu Qiao, what does this mean?

"Your Majesty, there is a situation in the prison to report. Xiao Dezi's voice sounded in his ears, and Mu Qingjue opened his eyes.

"What's the matter?" As soon as Mu Qingjue heard the word "Heavenly Prison", he immediately sat up straight and asked in a cold voice.

"This is the commander of the guards of the prison who just sent someone, saying that it is General Lou's confession, and he asked the emperor to take a look. Xiao Dezi presented something with both hands, handed it to Mu Qingjue, and said.

When Mu Qingjue heard this, he opened the fold presented by Xiao Dezi, and looked at Lou Xiyu according to his meaning, admitting that he had a close past with Xiao Yi and Luo Jin, and even admitted the words that slandered him in Du's mouth, and admitted that he colluded with Ning Yueguo to poison Du Gonggong, so that Ning Yue's people had a chance to save Xiao Yi.

When Mu Qingjue's gaze fell on the three words of Lou Xiyu at the end, a trace of uncertainty flashed in his eyes, and he was even more curious about Lu Qiao's identity.

He also heard what Lu Qiao said to Lou Xiyu, and it was no different from what he usually said, but when these words came out of Lu Qiao's mouth, it had a different effect, because Lu Qiao came forward and at least got Lou Xiyu's confession. With such a thing, if he wants to deal with Lou Xiyu and the Lou family, it will be even more justifiable.

The sky was getting dark, and the pigeon that had already been discovered flew out of Zhaoyang Palace and flew towards the outside of the palace, Tianquan saw it in his eyes and did not stop it, because he knew that Mu Qingjue already had a plan.

In the palace of the Heavenly Star Kingdom, the former tranquility has returned, as if nothing has happened, Mu Qingjue pretended not to know anything, ran to Zhaoyang Palace at the same time every day, dined with Lu Qiao, and occasionally went to the imperial garden with a small hand stove.

Until one night three days later, Mu Qingjue was having dinner in Lu Qiao's Zhaoyang Palace, but Lu Qiao was obviously a little absent-minded, because she had been waiting for news from outside the palace, but after waiting for three whole days, there was no response. However, she didn't know that Mingyue had a reply after receiving her news, but this letter was secretly detained by Mu Qingjue.

"Your Majesty, someone has trespassed into the prison and attempted to rescue the traitorous general Lou Xiyu, who has been taken down by the forbidden army, please send it down. Tianquan's voice sounded outside the Zhaoyang Palace, and he deliberately used enough internal strength so that Lu Qiao could also hear the news.

Sure enough, when Lu Qiao heard that someone had trespassed into the prison and had been caught, his face turned pale for a moment, even if he recovered quickly, the unnaturalness of that moment did not escape Mu Qingjue's eyes.

"Hearing this news, isn't Concubine Qing disappointed?" Mu Qingjue saw this scene and suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, Lu Qiao raised his head sharply and looked at Mu Qingjue in disbelief, as if he didn't understand what Mu Qingjue was talking about.

"How? dare to do it, but don't dare to admit it? You corresponded privately with the outside of the palace and passed on the news in the palace, especially the matter of Lou Xiyu, I never said it, I wanted to give you a chance to admit it to me by yourself, but you ...... I'm so disappointed. Mu Qingjue looked at Lu Qiao and said so.

At this time, Lu Qiao's face was already pale, and he looked pitiful, if it was usual, Mu Qingjue would have already hugged Lu Qiao into his arms to comfort him, but now, he restrained his impulsiveness.

"Since the emperor knows everything, the concubine has nothing to say, the concubine is sorry for the emperor, betrayed the emperor's trust, and asked the emperor to punish him. Countless thoughts flashed through Lu Qiao's mind, but he finally said such a sentence.

Mu Qingjue saw that Lu Qiao admitted without hesitation, and the anger in his heart was ignited at once, because he found that Lu Qiao didn't even mean to explain to him, and he was even thinking that if she was willing to explain and tell the truth about all this, then he could consider letting her go.

But she didn't.

"From today onwards, Concubine Qing will be grounded in Zhaoyang Palace, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave without my will, and those who violate the order will be beheaded. Mu Qingjue made such a holy decree and walked away.

Lu Qiao looked at the back of Mu Qingjue leaving, and there was no heaviness in his heart after his identity was discovered, but a sense of relief.

Mu Qingchen is kind to her, but Mu Qingjue has affection for her, she is not wood, and she is not unfeeling, if such a thing is put on any concubine in the harem, it is definitely not as simple as grounding, even if it is not death, it is the end of entering the cold palace.

She couldn't disobey Mu Qingchen's order, but she couldn't bear to hurt Mu Qingjue anymore, and now that he found out, at least in this way, she didn't have to be embarrassed, she didn't have to be caught between Mu Qingchen and Mu Qingjue, and she was in a dilemma.

Now, she just needs to wait for the opportunity, if Mingyue or Mu Qingchen find out that there is no news about her, they will definitely be suspicious, and they will find that she is under house arrest, and things may take a turn for the better.

The words were divided into two ends, Mu Qingjue left from Zhaoyang Palace, and before he could reach the prison, he heard the guards report again, saying that the assassins who were caught had committed suicide, and they could no longer interrogate anything.

"Your Majesty, the master behind Concubine Qingniang, still hasn't been able to ask. Tianquan said to Mu Qingjue.

"Nothing, whoever they are, sooner or later it will appear. Mu Qingjue said, then turned around and left, and then another holy decree came, "Concubine Ying is pregnant, she has made meritorious contributions to giving birth to the imperial heir, and she has been named one of the four concubines, as for the reward...... Feel free to dial some from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ”

After speaking, Mu Qingjue left completely and didn't say anything, leaving only Tianquan with a surprised face, and Xiao Dezi, who was in a hurry to go to the Sixth Palace to deliver the message.

This will quickly spread in the palace of the Heavenly Star Kingdom, some people were happy and some were worried, and when the news of Concubine Ying's pregnancy reached Lu Qiao's ears, she only stiffened slightly, and then she was relieved, and there was no expression anymore.
