When entering the palace, Jin Yan wanted to change into a bright dress for Qingchen, but was stopped by Qingchen.

It was still a simple light pink plain shirt, only a few plum blossoms were embroidered on the skirt, and the elegant and fine branches crawled from the skirt to the waist, although it added a lot of brilliance to Mu Qingchen's original pale face, but it still couldn't hide the weakness and fatigue after recovering from a serious illness.

"The jade hook asked the queen mother to say goodbye, and the queen mother was summoned before, but the jade hook lingered on the sick bed for many days, and it was inevitable that his illness would damage the queen mother's phoenix body, so he did not visit, and asked the queen mother to forgive his sins. When Mu Qingchen saw Shen Yuan, he leaned over and saluted, saying words of confession in his mouth, with a humble attitude.

The Queen Mother looked at Mu Qingchen's weak willow-like body, and she could barely stand up with the support of two maidservants, and the suspicion of Mu Qingchen in her heart disappeared a little, so she waved her hand and said:

"Princess Yi is exempt, it's hard for you to still miss the mourning family in your illness, and the mourning family is very pleased. ”

"As long as the Queen Mother does not blame, it is the greatest blessing of the jade hook. Qingchen lowered his head and smiled, as deferential and humble as rumored, "Yugou entered the palace this time just to ask the Queen Mother to say goodbye, if the Queen Mother has no other instructions, Yugou will retire first." ”

"Concubine An has arrived-" At the moment when Mu Qingchen's words fell, there was a voice from the waiter outside.

"The concubines see the Queen Mother. Concubine An followed by Mingyue and Wan Qin, walked to the Queen Mother, and then spoke, "The emperor and sisters are not there, the palace is inevitably too deserted, and the concubines heard that Princess Yi has just recovered from a serious illness and entered the palace to meet the Queen Mother, so they rushed over to join in the fun." ”

"It's a coincidence that you're so lively, Princess Yi is about to leave. The Queen Mother listened to Concubine An's words and said with a smile.

"Leaving so soon?" Concubine An looked a little surprised.

"Qi Qi Concubine An, the princess is frail, and the time to take medicine is approaching, so she doesn't dare to delay. Huai Jin stepped forward and said to Concubine An.

Qingchen entered the palace today, and the people he brought were Jinyan and Huaijin, two who didn't know martial arts. Shen Bining told her the secret about the Queen Mother before, she had asked the person who picked the star tower to verify it, and it was indeed true, and now that person was in Ci'an Palace, in order to prevent Zhanyu from exposing her martial arts prematurely, she let her stay in the palace.

"The maid ring around Princess Yi is very smart, but this maid is very raw, and it doesn't seem to be the personal maid that Princess Yi is used to. Concubine An looked at Mu Qingchen with a hint of inquiry in her eyes, and said meaningfully.

"Concubine An has never been an eventful person, but the mourning family saw that you and Princess Yi chatted very well, and the mourning family talked for a while, and they were already tired, so it was better for you to send Princess Yi to the mourning family. The Queen Mother chuckled and said.

"The concubine obeys the order, so send Princess Yi out. Concubine An bowed down and replied, turning her head to look at Mu Qingchen, "Princess Yi, please." ”

"That being the case, there is Concubine Lao An. Qingchen said, then turned around and saluted the Queen Mother, "The jade hook retreated." ”

After finishing speaking, Mu Qingchen and Concubine An walked out of Ci'an Palace together, Mu Qingchen's expression was flat, and Concubine An's face was full of interest and curiosity.

In the Ningyue Palace, Concubine An has always been a maverick, no one can stop what she wants to do, and no one can force her to do what she doesn't want to do. Just as she dared to invite the emperor out of Yijing Palace in the middle of the night, in the face of Princess Jade Hook, who everyone was afraid to avoid, she was the only one who dared to show the slightest interest.

The Queen Mother may also know Concubine An's temperament, so she didn't have the slightest suspicion, so she asked Concubine An to send Mu Qingchen away.

"Ahh

"Princess, what's going on?" Jin Yan heard Qingchen's voice and immediately stepped forward to ask.

"My hairpin is gone, it is the jasper hairpin carved by the prince himself, I am very plain and baby, who knows that as soon as I take it out and wear it, I lost it. Qingchen's face was full of anxiety, and his eyes swept around the ground, as if he cared about the hairpin.

"How is this good? I don't know when it fell, the slave maid went to the direction of Ci'an Palace to look for it. Jin Yan said, then found a little eunuch to lead the way, and walked back in the direction of Ci'an Palace.

"This hairpin is the princess's favorite thing, and I have the help of my father-in-law to find it. Huai Jin also said, and walked in the direction of the palace gate with a few little eunuchs.

"Mingyue, Wan Qin, you ask those two girls what Princess Yi's hairpin looks like, and go to help find it. Concubine An watched this scene quietly and instructed the palace maid who followed behind her.

"Yes. Mingyue and Wan Qin retreated in response and quickly dispersed.

Suddenly, there were only two people left in the entire imperial garden, Concubine An and Mu Qingchen, two people with different backgrounds and different thoughts, watching the maidservants who followed around them all scattered because of a small jasper hairpin, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but show a trace of inexplicable smile.

"This palace knows that if you go with Princess Yi, you can have a good show. Concubine An looked at Mu Qingchen with clarity in her eyes, and said so.

"Jade Hook doesn't know what Concubine An means, if Niang Niang doesn't mind, Jade Hook also wants to look around. Mu Qingchen owed Concubine An and spoke.

"Princess Yi, please take it, it's just that this Ningyue Palace is very big, Princess Yi don't get lost. Concubine An said, "If you meet some people who don't have long eyes, and think that Princess Yi is an assassin who trespasses on the court, it will not be good." ”

"Thank you Concubine Ann for reminding me, the jade hook should be careful. Mu Qingchen nodded slightly, saluted, and turned to leave.

The moment he turned around, the smile on the corner of Mu Qingchen's mouth suddenly disappeared, turned into nothingness, and his eyes were also cold.

There are words in this Concubine An's words, and the implication seems to be that she knows her behavior well, coupled with Concubine An's intelligence, and she is an old acquaintance with the original Jade Hook Princess, which is even more difficult to control. She put Mingyue next to Concubine An, and so far she has not been able to find out the slightest useful information about Concubine An, if she can't be sure whether Concubine An is friend or foe, instead of always being on guard, it is better to end here.

While thinking about it, Mu Qingchen slowly approached Longchen Palace with his familiarity with the Ningyue Palace in the past, but he didn't know that after she left, Concubine An stared at the back of her leaving, with a thoughtful look on her face.

Longchen Palace is an inescapable dust catastrophe for Mu Qingchen, in her previous life, she made a mistake, that is, in this gorgeous palace, she died of incense and jade, and her soul returned to the Western Realm.

Now approaching Longchen Palace again, Mu Qingchen only felt that there seemed to be some kind of long-suppressed emotion roaring in the depths of his heart, and he was about to erupt, and the shocking blood before he died covered his misty eyes, and they were red.

Shen Bihuan's words like a magic voice still lingered in her ears, laughing all the time, reminding her what a wrong choice she had made and what a ridiculous five years she had passed.

Standing still not far from Longchen Palace, Mu Qingchen looked at the direction of Longchen Palace, and his mind turned slightly.

Today's commander of the forbidden army, Zhang Jingqin, led a column of forbidden troops to guard the gate of Longchen Palace, and there are other forbidden troops patrolling back and forth from time to time.

If there was really a secret room in Longchen Palace, then Xiao Ling would definitely let the secret guards guard inside, so in the places that could not be seen outside Longchen Palace, there were people who Mu Qingchen could not predict guarding inside.

"Who's there—"

With a cold snort from Zhang Jing, the commander of the forbidden army, all the forbidden troops at the gate of Longchen Palace looked in the direction of Mu Qingchen, holding weapons in their hands, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

Seeing this, a touch of sarcasm flashed in Qingchen's eyes, just with these forbidden troops in the Ning Yue Palace, she still didn't pay attention to it, even if her skills were not as good as before, these people were not her opponents.

She didn't pay attention to Zhang Jing's words, she still stood in place and didn't move, letting the forbidden army at the gate of Longchen Palace surround her, and she showed a panicked expression.

"This palace is not very familiar with the Ningyue Palace, and in order to find the lost things, he accidentally walked into this place, disturbing the general, and asking the general not to blame. Mu Qingchen looked at the group of forbidden soldiers around him, looking a little cramped.

Zhang Jing listened to Mu Qingchen's words, a look of doubt flashed on his face, the only woman in the Ningyue Kingdom who can call herself "Bengong" but is not familiar with the Ningyue Palace is the Princess Yugou of the Tianxing Kingdom, that is, the current Princess Yi, Mu Qingchen.

"Zhang Jing, the commander of the lowly forbidden army, saw Princess Yi, I didn't know that Princess Yi had arrived, and I was offended, and I asked the princess to forgive me. Zhang Jing understood Qingchen's identity in his heart, so he clasped his fists and saluted, and said to Mu Qingchen.

"Commander Zhang doesn't have to be polite, it's the palace that is abrupt. But I don't know what kind of place this is, how should I go if I want to go to the palace gate?" Qingchen said, looking like a foreign princess who had gone wrong because she didn't know the road.

"Princess Qiyu, this is Longchen Palace, which is the residence of His Majesty. The princess is going out of the palace, please go this way. Zhang Jing bowed and said, stretched out his hand and respectfully pointed in the direction, then turned to a forbidden army beside him and said, "Sun Yi, you escort the princess out." ”

"Subordinates obey!" The guard named Sun Yi who was named Sun Yi gave up his hand, turned to Mu Qingchen and said, "Princess, please-"

"In this case, there is labor. Qingchen nodded, followed behind Sun Yi, and walked towards the Imperial Garden, only by bypassing the Imperial Garden, could he see the palace gate.

In the imperial garden, Concubine An was still standing in place and waiting, and the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting behind her also came back one after another, and when she saw Mu Qingchen being escorted back, she greeted her, holding the hairpin that had just been found by the palace maids, and said to Mu Qingchen:

"This thing is Princess Yi's lost jasper hairpin?"

"Exactly, thank you Concubine An for finding the hairpin for the jade hook, and the jade hook is grateful. As soon as Mu Qingchen saw the jade hairpin, he immediately stepped forward and took it from Concubine An's hand, with an ecstatic expression on his face, with a sense of relief that he had regained.

"See Concubine An. When Sun Yi saw Concubine An, he naturally bowed and saluted.

"Okay, you go back and go on an errand, and send Princess Yi here. Concubine An waved her hand at Sun Yi and let him go back.
