At that time, in the county prince's palace.

Chu Changle sat on the rosewood chair and looked out of the wide open door boredly.

The square sky, the square earth.

Such thoughts have been flooding into her mind recently. Is it possible that she really wants to be imprisoned in this world for her whole life?

In the past, there were fierce horses in the pasture, the sky was vast, and the things that were within easy reach are now beginning to be blurred in dreams.

She was unwilling and aggrieved.

The fat white pigeon fluttered on the golden birdcage next to it, and Chu Changle opened the note on it.

It's a crooked handwriting.

"Everything is the same as before."

The sarcastic word instantly stung the deepest chord in Chu Changle's heart.

She didn't spend much effort, she just wanted to see what kind of magic power Mu Qiaoxi had that could make that person willingly live in Muhou's house.

Thinking of Mu Qiao Xi, she became more interested now. How many secrets did she not know about this person?

But Mo Yan... Chu Changle felt a headache. Did she overestimate Mo Yan?

The Prince's Palace in Luyang City is like a tiger whose claws have been broken. She is eager for talents now in order to keep the Prince's Palace in the future.

Everything is the same as before...

Chu Changle was chewing these words carefully, thinking that maybe after Mu Qiaoxi's death, things would never be the same again. Mo Yan would definitely show his true strength if he had nothing to tie him down.

?

At this moment, the boy below hurriedly ran forward.

"Princess, the eldest lady of Muhou Mansion is back."

Mu Qiao Xi?! He actually went back?

Chu Changle thought for a moment that Mu Qiaoxi's body had been carried back.

But the boy hesitated and said: "There are already crazy rumors outside, saying that the eldest lady of the Muhou Mansion has returned to the Zhao Dynasty with her jade intact, and has returned unscathed!"

The note in Chu Changle's hand fell to the ground, and he looked stunned.

Mu Qiaoxi's collision with the prince was originally an unpardonable death penalty, but now she returned to Muhou Mansion intact?

Isn’t this crazy?!

No...Chu Changle gradually calmed down.

There is only one possibility. There is only one reason why people like Si Shaoqing would protect Mu Qiaoxi.

Could it be that... Mu Qiaoxi has now become a member of the prince's party?!

It must be true. Si Shaoqing does not have much real power in his hands. Only connections are the most reliable thing that can stabilize his position, and the Muhou Mansion is the best target for Si Shaoqing.

Thinking of this, Chu Changle's eyes became more helpless.

I originally thought that Mu Qiaoxi was an upright person, but I didn't expect that she would inevitably fall into disgrace in the end.

But thinking of the gorgeous and scorching woman at the Hundred Flowers Banquet before, Chu Changle couldn't connect her with that kind of person who followed the crowd.

Come to think of it, maybe because there is no one in Muhou Mansion now, it is necessary to find a strong backer in the court.

Chu Changle could only think this way before he could feel it was reasonable in his heart and feel that he could convince himself.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Changle ordered the boy who was still kneeling in front of him.

"Go and prepare a generous gift for me and send it to Muhou Mansion."

The boy agreed again and again, turned around and ran out quickly.

At this time, inside the palace, in the Jinluan Hall.

The Queen and the Emperor had dinner together on the 15th day of every month, and all the servants waited on them with trepidation, not daring to show any signs of neglect.

Si Dianwu sat opposite the queen, looking at the table full of delicacies, but still had a sullen face.

Liu Yin sat opposite and took a sip of the soup. Seeing that the emperor looked wrong, she quickly put down the spoon and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

"Your Majesty, do you have anything to say to me?"

Si Dianwu simply put down the chopsticks in his hand, with a faint smile still on his face.

"Originally, today is the fifteenth day, the day of reunion, so I shouldn't have said this to the queen, but I heard that after the ceremony to sacrifice to heaven, the culprit was not punished?"

Liu Yin originally planned to answer the call, but when she saw that Si Dianwu was still unfinished, she just waited for the rest of the story.

Liu Yin's look of hurriedly trying to find something to say fell into Si Dianwu's eyes, and a flash of coldness flashed across her eyes quickly, but she still spoke words full of affection in her mouth.

"It's just other things. After all, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. It's just that the queen spent a lot of time preparing for the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, but because the girl from the Muhou family was burned to the ground, I feel sad after all."

Hearing that Si Dianwu was worried about her, Liu Yin couldn't help but show a proud smile on her face, and stood up to salute Si Dianwu very reservedly.

"I would like to thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

But Si Dianwu mentioned Mu Qiaoxi's matter after all. Liu Yin knew that the king's heart was unpredictable, and if he was not careful, he might arouse suspicion, so he had to answer cautiously.

"Your Majesty has thought carefully. The girl from the Muhou Mansion is a bit reckless, but I have seen her before. She was originally a girl who knew etiquette, but she suddenly became so reckless. There must be some reason. Both the concubine and the prince felt that the prince

His birthday has just passed, even if he needs to be punished, he should wait until later. The prince is benevolent and rarely kills people."

Si Dianwu said nothing, his hawk-like eyes stared straight at Liu Yin in front of him.

Liu Yin became nervous for a moment. Did she say something right just now?

Finally, she racked her brains and added another sentence.

"Furthermore, Muhou is old. That girl is the daughter of Muhou's first wife. Muhou is a loyal minister of the court. If we punish the girl of the Mu family in this way, I am afraid it will make the loyal minister sad."

Liu Yin thought that mentioning the previous dynasty would dispel Si Dianwu's suspicion, but she never thought that this would be a taboo for the king.

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. If the queen has a prince under her knees, she should avoid suspicion in state affairs.

Si Dianwu didn't speak for a long time, and beads of sweat broke out on the tip of Liu Yin's nervous nose.

After a long time, even the servant next to him had anxious eyes, and Si Dianwu finally said, "The queen has thought carefully, and I am very relieved to have you."

He stretched out his hand and asked Liu Yin to get up and sit next to him.

As if he accidentally remembered it, Si Dianwu just said: "Speaking of Muhou Mansion, I remember that Muhou also has a son who is brave and good at fighting. He has an errand in the Army and Horses Division?"

Before Liu Yin could relax from the tension just now, she heard Si Dianwu's question again and replied with some stumble, "Yes, we, sir, are lenient, even if the girl from Muhou Mansion offended him.

, he is also determined to promote the son of the Muhou family. I remember that the boy's name seems to be Mu Qirui. I heard from Qing'er that he is a useful talent."

Liu Yinguang thought that this would reflect Si Shaoqing's magnanimity. After all, he was bringing under his command the elder brother of the person who disrupted the memorial service.

She felt that this might dispel Si Dianwu's suspicion of Si Shaoqing.

But he never thought that Si Dianwu's face would become increasingly gloomy.

She forgot that emperors were most afraid of cliques and selfish interests.
