"You don't have any points yourself?" Saying that, Xu Lianyi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, and walked to the side slightly, as if she was disgusted with that, so she stubbornly turned her head as if she didn't want to pay attention to him, Mu Yunting also knew that it was enough, so she followed her steps with a smile, not fast or slow, and leisurely followed her hand, squinting at her.

Xu Lianyi just felt that the way back was a little boring, and actually caught a glimpse of the lantern that was lit, how could this lantern be so expensive at a glance, needless to say, the discerning person knew at a glance that this was the lamp of a big family, and couldn't help but look at it twice, so he accelerated his pace more and more. Her movements were all seen by Mu Yunting behind her, so on tiptoe, she jumped on the eaves and stretched the lantern down in front of her.

"Take it if you like. After speaking, Mu Yunting smiled and stretched the lantern towards her, as if to signal her to take it. Xu Lianyi was not pretentious, took the lantern and began to look carefully, seeing that she liked Mu Yunting so much, she jumped on the eaves and left a gold ingot in her pocket on it, and then doted on his shoulder, looked at her with a smile in her eyebrows, and couldn't help grinning.

"This lantern, you say it belongs to a rich and noble family. Saying that, Xu Lian Yizai carefully looked at the lamp in her hand, and suddenly seemed to see something vague, frowned slightly, glanced at Mu Yunting without moving, and was shocked in her heart, if this lantern is not mistaken, it should be a means of transportation for people from the house to communicate with people from kilometers inside and outside!

Mu Yunting didn't notice it, and smiled indifferently and hugged her shoulder: "Don't worry, I left a piece of silver there." As he spoke, he was about to stretch out his hand to palm the lamp, Xu Lianyi was horrified, as if he was naughty, and brushed the lamp over, seeing that he was angry and helpless, so he playfully stuck out his tongue: "I won't show you, this is mine." As he spoke, he held the lantern in his hand as if he were protecting it behind him.

Seeing her playful and cute appearance, she shook her head helplessly, stretched out her hand, and smiled silently, with a conniving look on her face, she was really envious of others. Xu Lianyi saw that he didn't seem to have the intention of robbing it, so he held it in his hand like a treasure and observed it carefully, and sure enough, there was a looming little poem in the lantern, and the content on it happened to anger Mu Yunting's bottom line!

"You like this lantern so much?" Mu Yunting saw that she looked at the lantern without blinking, as if she was a little dissatisfied, Xu Lianyi was stunned for a moment, her hand slipped, the lantern fell to the ground and immediately burned, the two hurriedly took two steps back, Mu Yunting took her hand as if teasing: "When did you become so bold?" said and tilted his head to look over and found that Xu Lianyi was still staring at the burning lantern, "If you like lanterns, I can order someone to make a better one for you." ”

Saying that he interlocked his fingers with Xu Lianyi, the two of them looked at each other, and Xu Lianyi listened to him say this, and his heart was warm for a while, and he couldn't help but sneer when he looked so serious: "I don't need you to work hard, it's just a pity that I wasted a piece of silver, and it turned out to be a blur." ”

"I still have enough silver to support you. Saying that, Mu Yunting took her hand and pinched it, as if she was swearing a promise, Xu Lianyi didn't know how to describe her mood at this time, so she held his hand like a bird, and the two walked to the palace on foot with a unique romance, in this deep palace, the two of them seemed to be duckweed supporting each other.

On the second day, Mu Yunting went to the morning early in the morning, and after Xu Lianyi finished breakfast, he directly asked people to go to the secret investigation.

"You go to investigate, which family belongs to the lantern yesterday, this matter is carried out in secret, you must not alarm the emperor. After Xu Lianyi finished speaking, she turned around and glanced at the person kneeling on the ground, her eyes condensed, and the word majesty emanated from her body, as if an invisible mountain was pressing on that person's heart. nodded indiscriminately and left in a hurry.

The man didn't dare to delay, and immediately started the investigation, and found out that the lantern was made by Wu Peiling, the daughter of Wu Feilang, the secretary of the Ministry of War!

The poem written in the lantern yesterday refers to the last batch of military salaries! It clearly says how many people are divided and where they are hidden, all of which are the most taboo places in Mu Yunting! Thinking of this, Xu Lianyi couldn't help but feel a little worried in her heart, if she didn't guess wrong, if this embezzlement was known to him, it was estimated that it would be impossible to avoid being beheaded by the whole house at that time.

"When you go to announce that Wu Peiling enters the palace, you will say that the queen has something to tell her. Xu Lianyi pressed his temples with a headache to relieve his fatigue, and the man was stunned for a moment and said, "Is it a secret Xuanjin Palace or..."

"No, I don't. Xu Lianyi sighed and took a sip of tea. The man bowed his head and hurriedly took the order and left immediately, Huiyu on the side saw that her face was a little ugly, and she stepped forward to hand over the tea as if she was a little worried: "Niangniang, is this matter very tricky?" After speaking, I saw her nod and did not reply, she retreated very interestingly, this is not going to tell herself, it is better to ask less This is the secret of the survival of the palace.

On the other side, Wu Peiling, who was already on the mountain road, felt a little uneasy, and began to recall whether she had done something wrong or how, but after exploring it, her whole body began to tremble unconsciously, and her whole body began to chill, as if she had fallen into the water.

When she stepped into the palace, her feet began to tremble unconsciously, and every step she took seemed as if she was preparing to go to the execution ground, as if she was emboldening herself, and she puffed up her head and entered the harem with her head held high.

When I saw Xu Lianyi sitting on the phoenix chair, I didn't dare to look at her eyes, and I lowered my head vigorously, as if I was feeling weak in my heart, and both of them tacitly did not pierce this layer of separation. Xu Lianyi looked at the kneeling person with sharp eyes, and shook her head helplessly: "Get up." ”

"Xie Niangniang. After saying that, she sat upright next to her quietly and gently, looking like a deep boudoir woman, but... This person is not an ordinary woman, she has studied strategy, and she can be regarded as half a strategist.

Xu Lianyi looked at her with a smile and her lips opened lightly: "When I came back with Your Majesty yesterday, I saw a delicate lantern..."

"I also went to investigate this lantern, I didn't expect it to come from your skillful hand, it really makes me a little envious. Xu Lianyi said with a smile, looking at Wu Peiling's face and feeling very satisfied. Wu Peiling originally thought that she wanted to act like a fool and pretend not to know about it, but she glanced at Xu Lianyi's face, and was shocked in her heart, and asked herself not to panic, thought about it, avoided this sentence, looked at her with a smile, and said gently: "This is natural, I really thank you for your appreciation." After saying that, he stood up and saluted.

Xu Lianyi didn't reveal it, her eyes looked at her with a sneer, she looked at her thoughtfully, stretched out her hand, waved her hand, and signaled her to retreat, Wu Peiling sighed secretly in her heart, and hurriedly thanked her, and then left with a steady salute.

When she arrived at Shangshu Mansion, Wu Peiling didn't hide her anxiety and hurriedly walked directly to the house, Wu Feilang heard the hurried footsteps outside and frowned and accused: "What kind of system is the girl's family going in such a hurry!" After speaking, Wu Peiling's face was not good-looking, and she was stunned for a moment, "What's the matter? Could it be that the queen said something to you?" After speaking, Wu Peiling nodded and looked at him seriously: "Got it! The queen knows that we are greedy for that batch of military salaries!"

After speaking, Wu Feilang looked at her in disbelief, stretched out his hand and slapped the table fiercely, stood up, and looked at her angrily: "Impossible!

"Could it be... The emperor has been sending people to monitor us?" Wu Feilang seemed to be a fool who had lost his mind, his whole body trembled violently, and he muttered in his mouth, not knowing what he was talking about, and suddenly a brilliant method flashed in his mind, and he slapped his thigh directly, "I'm going to resign!" Thinking of this, he hurriedly ran to the desk and began to prepare to write a recital.

Wu Peiling was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly persuaded her father to calm down and think twice, but Wu Feilang looked at her angrily and accused her loudly, and then pushed her away and continued to write her own memoranda.

When he went to court the next day, Wu Feilang directly gave Mu Yunting a copy of the fold, and then seemed to hope that he could make a judgment quickly, but Mu Yunting frowned, put the fold away, and retreated directly from the court. When he arrived at the harem, Xu Lianyi was stunned for a moment when he saw that he was angry, as if he was a cannonball, and said, "What makes you so angry?" After speaking, Mu Yunting handed her the fold and motioned for her to look at it.

"Tell me what he means!" said that, he sat in front of the coffee table in a hurry and slammed the table to vent his anger, Xu Lianyi took a cursory look at the fold, looked at him silently, and said: "It may not be a good thing for you to let him resign, Wu Shangshu really needs to spend his time in peace" After speaking, Mu Yunting was stunned for a moment, and nodded after being silent for a while, but he still didn't seem to be willing to say: "I know." ”

So in the afternoon of the same day, Mu Yunting's resignation was issued, and Wu Feilang began to pack his things and prepare to leave the capital as soon as he returned home.
