Chapter 251: Spies
After the two gave the farmer a reward, they returned to the palace, and Mu Yunting instructed the eunuch to quickly call some important courtiers to the imperial study to discuss urgent matters, and Xu Lianyi was on the side.
In a short time, the courtiers who should have come came. Mu Yunting said the purpose of calling everyone today: "The food that was lost before has been found, but these grains need to be dried before they can be eaten, and I am thinking about how to use this batch of food." All of you will share your opinions. ”
All of a sudden, there was a discussion in the imperial study, and after the courtiers discussed for a while, they also began to stand in twos and threes, and everyone found the idea they supported, and waited for Mu Yunting to speak. What do you think, it's not Mu Yunting who speaks, but ......
"Your Majesty, the concubine has an idea, but I don't know whether to say it or not. Xu Lianyi's face looked at Mu Yunting with a confident and gentle smile, and after getting Mu Yunting's tacit approval, she continued to speak: "The concubine thinks that this batch of medicinal materials is the best for us to exchange for medicinal materials with Miao Jiang." ”
When this idea came out, the imperial study exploded in an instant, and every official denied this idea, even Xu Lianyi was just a woman and didn't understand anything. It's a pity that when it came time for Mu Yunting to make his final decision, he still chose to let Mu Xiaoying go to Miaojiang again and send the medicinal materials over this time.
After hearing this decision, although the courtiers did not say anything on the surface, there was still a great controversy in their hearts.
Mu Yaoxi knew about this matter, sneered, and then arranged for his people in the capital to ambush them on the way to Miaojiang, and they must get those grains.
On the second day, Mu Xiaoying led her team to deliver grain, and a long line of grain delivery teams protected the food in the middle.
When passing through a small road, Mu Xiaoying suddenly realized that something was not in the mirror, and quickly made a gesture, and the people in the shadows saw Mu Xiaoying like this, jumped out of the hiding place, and directly attacked Mu Xiaoying.
After a few back and forth, Mu Xiaoying was defeated, forced to be helpless, and fled.
Two days later, the news slowly passed back to the capital, and after Qiao Jingyuan got the news, he was very excited and happy.
She cleaned up and came to the garden, and sure enough, she saw Xu Lianyi walking there, and Qiao Jingyuan stepped forward without thinking about it.
"Yo. Isn't this the queen mother? Why, haven't you heard the news of the loss of grain? If it weren't for the queen mother's words to send it to Miaojiang to exchange medicinal materials, this grain should not have been thrown away. Qiao Jingyuan was so happy, and now she didn't care if she could say these words to Xu Lianyi, anyway, how happy she was.
Xu Lianyi silently watched Qiao Jingyuan say these words, and she didn't say anything, her eyes were faint, and she didn't have a sense of meaning.
"What's the matter? Did the queen mother be told sad by her sister? Now she doesn't even speak, that's really my sister's mistake. My sister is here to make amends to her mother, and she shouldn't talk about her mother's sadness. As he spoke, Qiao Jingyuan bowed pretendically.
Seeing this, it was not her that Xu Lianyi could endure it, she laughed coldly, and the majesty in her tone was unchallengeable: "Xu Jieyu, no matter what the palace is, she is still the queen." Come on, Xu Jieyu insulted the queen and punished according to the rules!"
"Yes!" After hearing the order, Witty Wisdom was finally happy and could let out a bad breath.
In the garden, Xu Lianyi had already punished Qiao Jingyuan, and the witty words only thought that Xu Lianyi was silent at first because she was really told something sad, and the two of them also thought that Xu Lianyi was sad because the food she had caused was intercepted because of her idea. In fact, in the evening, Xu Lianyi asked the two of them to prepare wine and food and wait in the room for Mu Yunting to review and return to the dormitory.
"The slave has seen the emperor. Witty and Huiyu stood at the door of the dormitory, seeing Mu Yunting coming in from outside, and even being in a good mood, they were puzzled, Niangniang made a mistake, why the emperor was in such a good mood.
Mu Yunting didn't care what the two little girls thought in their hearts, they just nodded, and then pushed the door into the room.
"You're here. When Xu Lianyi saw that it was Mu Yunting, her eyes flashed with anticipation, and after helping Mu Yunting take off her coat, she pulled Mu Yunting to the table and sat down.
Xu Lianyi saw that Mu Yunting just didn't speak, she was a little anxious, and couldn't help urging: "Quick, what's going on now? ”
"Poof. Mu Yunting couldn't help laughing when he saw Xu Lianyi's anxious appearance, he heard about the things in the garden during the day today, no, it is estimated that he has already held back the anger in his heart, "What are you anxious about?"
She stopped talking, and looked at Mu Yunting in a daze, with a hint of sadness in her eyes. Seeing Xu Lianyi's appearance, Mu Yunting had no choice but to smile helplessly, raised his hand and pinched Xu Lianyi's nose.
"Suffered?"
Xu Lianyi didn't speak. Seeing that he seemed to have provoked Xu Lianyi, Mu Yunting had no choice but to smile slightly and say the news he got: "Don't be angry." Let me tell you. The real grain has been sent to Miaojiang, and according to the information we have obtained, our grain has not been intercepted by anyone, and it has been smooth and safe along the way. ”
"Great!" Hearing Mu Yunting's words, Xu Lianyi was already gloomy, and her mood for the day finally improved, "It seems that the meal I prepared tonight was not prepared in vain." ”
"This idea was you who came up with it, and naturally you were the biggest contributor. Looking at the satisfied smile on Xu Lianyi's face, Mu Yunting praised unabashedly.
"In that case, why don't we both celebrate tonight? I'm glad that I've helped you settle another matter of government. Xu Lianyi felt that as long as she could help Mu Yunting, it would be the happiest thing for her.
That night, Xu Lianyi and Mu Yunting sat at the table and drank until midnight.
And the next day, after Mu Yunting went to the morning court, a note was thrown in from the window.
After Xu Lianyi slept enough, when Punchy Yu pushed open the window, she saw the note, she exclaimed, and took the note to Xu Lianyi.
This note was full of ambiguous and threatening words, the handwriting was very chic, she frowned, wondering who wrote this note to her? With this note in her hand, Xu Lianyi didn't figure out after all, who could put this note in her room through the guards outside.
"Punch Talk, have you been guarding the door of my room this morning?" Xu Lianyi looked at Punch Talk, who was dressing her up behind her, and pretended to ask unintentionally.
Witty Yu shook his head and said, "When you are resting, the slave and Huiyu are guarded by each other, so there will definitely be a time when the two of us are not in the middle." ”
Xu Lianyi's brows furrowed even deeper, since this is the case, it is that someone has figured out the moment of her shift in the dormitory, so there is a chance to throw the note in.
Seeing that Xu Lianyi didn't speak, the witty words were a little unsure of what Xu Lianyi was thinking, and she said with some hesitation: "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you? ”
"It's fine. Punchline, pay attention in the future, when you and Huiyu are changing shifts and resting, you must pay attention to the time interval is not too long, so as not to make anyone uneasy and kind. Xu Lianyi sighed, she believed that Punch and Hui Yu would never be bought, it must be something wrong with other people in her bedroom.
"Yes, Niangniang, the slave will discuss it with Huiyu. Although Punchline didn't know what was going on, she wasn't stupid, and she knew that there was a ghost in the dormitory.
That night, Xu Lianyi waited until Mu Yunting returned to the dormitory before telling him about the note she received in the morning.
Mu Yunting snorted coldly and asked, "Do you have any guesses in your heart?"
"Yes, Mu Yaoxi. At the beginning, Xu Lianyi didn't have any candidates in her heart, but after filtering the possibilities one by one today, she felt that only Mu Yaoxi would have this possibility.
Last night, they were still drinking and celebrating, and this evening, the two of them were at the table discussing how to find out who the spy was. With Mu Yunting's help, it is easy to find out the spies.
By the next morning, it had already been found out. This spy in Xu Lianyi's palace is Lin Wei'er, and she asked Witty Words and Huiyu to bring Lin Wei'er to her room.
Seeing Xu Lianyi sitting high on it, Lin Wei'er didn't have any waves in her heart, and snorted coldly: "Queen Mother, the slave knows what you want to ask, so let's get straight to the point." ”
"Good. Xu Lianyi was happy, Lin Wei'er didn't refute it at all, this was well-behaved, or deliberate, "Did Mu Yaoxi let you do it?"
Lin Wei'er nodded.
In the next few questions, Lin Weier nodded and admitted every question.
It's just that in the end, Xu Lianyi asked another question curiously: "Why did you help Mu Yaoxi?"
"Queen Mother, the slave maid helped her because she had a life-saving grace for the slave maid, and the slave maid must repay it. When she said these words, Lin Weier put her eyes on Xu Lianyi's face, very seriously.
Xu Lianyi shook her head, no matter how heavy the person in front of her was, she was also her enemy. Then, Xu Lianyi frowned unhappily and scolded Mu Yaoxi directly: "This Mu Yaoxi......!
Then a barrage of curses popped out of her mouth. Lin Wei'er listened silently and didn't speak.
At night, Xu Lianyi sat in her room, looking at the candles on the table, the candles were gentle with the breeze, and suddenly she heard a strange sound in the window outside, she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.
Sure enough, Mu Yaoxi came.
"Xu Lianyi, how do you feel when you see the note I gave you?"
