122 But I still don't want Uncle Wang to look at the throne

At night, under the bright moonlight, Mu Xilang lay on the bamboo chair in the yard of Kunning Palace. Because of the imperial edict, she had been distracted for a day, and the queen also remembered that she was in a bad mood and did not leave her to serve.

"Nianhua, go and bring the peach blossom brew that your uncle brought a few days ago."

Nianhua hesitated. After all, Zhaohua's drinking capacity in his previous life was very poor. Now... She is not sure, but she understands that drinking is always not good, so she persuaded, "If you are bored, you can talk to your maidservant."

Mu Xiran suddenly aggravated his tone, "Go get it."

Therefore, Nianhua had no choice but to bring the peach blossom brew and pour her a cup full of wine in person. "Drink it, Miss."

"I won't be drunk tonight." Mu Xiyan picked up the wine cup and looked up and drank it. She couldn't help thinking of the night when she and Su Heyu were overjoyed in her previous life. Su and Yu didn't come back to the wedding room all night. At that time, she was not so uncomfortable. I don't know what's wrong now.

After drinking a few cups in a row, Mu Xian's head was a little dizzy and leaned against the bamboo chair and said to himself.

Nianhua quickly prepared to make a bowl of sobering soup. When he got up, he saw the prince coming in. "See the prince."

"Get up." Su and An nodded gently, and then saw the wine cup on the table, and then knew that Mu Xiyan was drunk. "What's wrong with the lady, but what's bothering you?"

In the previous life, the prince loved the royal sister very much, and Nianhua answered directly without hesitation, "Miss listened to the emperor's will to marry Miss Chu to Prince Jing'an, and the young lady... felt a little uncomfortable. The prince, please persuade the maidservant.

The prince knew that Mu Xiran had a close relationship with Uncle Wang, but he had not thought that Mu Xiran would love Uncle Wang. He responded calmly, "When people are bored, it's useless to drink."

Mu Xiruan, who tilted his head and frowned, pulled the corners of his mouth and turned over. "Didn't the prince deliberately laugh at Xiren?"

The prince laughed softly and sat next to her, "I remember that some time ago, the mother always said that the female official looked more clearly than anyone else. Now what's the matter? She was confused when she encountered her own affairs."

"I was also relieved to think that the emperor would not agree to this marriage. But I didn't expect the emperor to agree, which was a little puzzling. Mu Xiran thought that she knew the emperor's taboos best, but the emperor did not play cards according to common sense in this matter, which made her a little panic.

"That's right. You were not in the capital before, so you don't know the first two Princess Jing'an. Both princesses are the daughters of six or seven-grade officials in the court. Their status is not noble, but they do not lack virtuous nature. The prince paused and deliberately lowered his voice. "My father is not afraid of Uncle Wang's military power, but he still doesn't want Uncle Wang to look at the throne."

Mu Xiqi also thought so, so she didn't understand why the emperor agreed.

The prince saw the depressed look on her face and continued to explain patiently, "In the past, the emperor did not allow Uncle Wang to marry a powerful family, but now the emperor just wants to test Uncle Wang. The emperor will not be unaware of Uncle Wang's nature. As long as Uncle Wang doesn't want to do anything, Uncle Wang will try his best to solve it. So, just rest assured."

Hearing the prince's words, Mu Xiran felt relieved, but she still wanted to ask, "What if the prince takes the order?"

"That means that the female official has not yet grasped Uncle Wang's heart." Although the prince's tone was a joke, it was very reasonable, but in order to reassure her, the prince still said, "Don't worry, the prince met Miss Chu in person this afternoon."

At this time, after this speech, Mu Xiran was no longer drunk and smiled, "Thank you for your words today. Xi Ran is a little worried." The innocent wink at the prince, "But I have to disappoint the prince. The queen went to bed early today."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Mu Xilan's heart knot was resolved, the prince became sad again. "I heard that my mother's body is not very good, but I was very busy a few days ago. It's hard to be free tonight, but it's still late."

"It's nothing serious, and my head doesn't hurt anymore. Otherwise, I wouldn't have rested so early. Why don't the prince come here tomorrow? At that time, the spirit of the Empress was the best.

The prince thought about it and got up, "Then come back tomorrow."

Mu Xiran also followed and sent the prince out of Kunning Palace. She returned and was ready to go back to bed. Unexpectedly, cousin Yi stood in the corner of the wall. She was slightly shocked, "Cousin."

Cousin Yi came so late, there must be something wrong.

Sure enough, Yi Xiao motioned her to walk to the corner of the wall, so that the shadow covered their voices. Yi Xiao then said, "Nu Jiao has never been able to do anything in the raccoon bureau. The people I sent have been suspected. So I think you'd better see her again tomorrow, and then I'll arrange her to Yifu for the time being.

As the imperial guard, Yi Xiao's actions can be noticed, which shows the power of the Chu family in the palace.

"Okay, I'll go there early tomorrow morning. At that time, there should not be many people on the palace road. Mu Xi'an has been annoyed by the things in the palace these days, but she didn't expect to forget about Nu Jiao.

Yi Xiaoying said, "It's only good to go in the morning. Don't worry, cousin, I will secretly send someone to follow."

Looking at Yi Xiao's flat facial features, Mu Xi suddenly felt warm. With her relatives who protected her like this, it seemed that she was not too lonely in this life and hurriedly thanked her.

Yi Xiao just smiled and quickly walked away.

In the morning, without waiting for dawn, Mu Xirang took Nianhua to the raccoon bureau. Although there was no one on the remote palace road like last time, it was not as gloomy as last time.

Before the maid of the raccoon bureau got up, Mu Xiyan still went to find Mother Fang. No matter how patient she was, no matter how patient she was, she would be a little unhappy. However, who let Mu Xiyan be the red man beside the queen, Mother Fang could only greet her with a smile and quickly called Nu Jiao out.

Nu Jiao came out and saw the two people in the yard. Her face was obviously stunned, and then she quickly bent down, "Female officer."

Mu Xilan didn't say anything, but walked around the slave with the corners of his lips before stopping and saying, "You know the purpose of my coming here today. Tell me, where is Nian Han hiding now?"

That cold tone couldn't help but make people afraid. Nu's slender shoulders trembled inadvertently, bit her lips and shook her head, "Female officer, I really don't know where Nianhan is. Since the night Princess Zhaohua burned herself, Nujiao has never seen Nianhan again."

"Then... Why did you see Nianhan before Princess Zhaohua passed away!" Mu Xian grabbed the loophole in Nujiao's words, continued to ask, and put her hand on Nujiao's shoulder by the way. "You also know that a maid of honor to be killed in this palace is as simple as pinching an ant."

Under the threat, Nu Jiao suddenly knelt down, grabbed Mu Xi'an's skirt, and sobbed, "Female officer...Female officer, if Nu Jiao tells the truth, can the female official let Nu Jiao out of the palace? Nu Jiao is afraid... I'm afraid that they will kill people..."

Mu Xiran was shocked and looked at Nu Jiao's trembling body. She squatted down and looked at Nu Jiao, "If you say it, I will naturally save your life."

"A few days before Princess Zhaohua burned herself, Wan Zhaoyi in the palace didn't know where she learned that Nu Jiao had a good relationship with Nian Han, so she came to the raccoon bureau to find the slave maidservant... She asked the maidservant to send a message to Nian Han and let Nian Han kill Princess Zhaohua. The maidservant immediately refused when she heard the words. Wan Zhaoyi was naturally unwilling, so she threatened the maidservant's brother in the palace. The maidservant... The maidservant had no choice..."

Nu Jiao cried more and more, "I can only go to Nianhan and tell her about Wan Zhaoyi threatening me. Nian Han has the best relationship with me, and... Nian Han and the slave's brother has been a childhood sweetheart since childhood, so he agreed. In a few days, the maidservant heard about Princess Zhaohua's self-burning, and then Nian Han disappeared..."

After listening, Mu Xiyan stood up quietly, his empty eyes fell in one place, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

I was afraid that Mu Xiyan would repent, so she begged again, "I only have such a brother... I have no choice but to ask the female officer to save me..."

If it had been in her previous life, she would certainly have coldly satirized this ignorant maid of honor, but now... she won't, because if she encounters such a thing, she will protect the lives of her relatives without thinking.

"Get up. Since I said I would protect your life, I won't go up with my promise. And your brother, he must also go out of the palace, otherwise he will only be involved by you. Mu Xian suppressed the torrential anger in his heart, but his face was calm and scary.

"Thank you, lady, but I really don't know where Nian Han is." Nu Jiao quickly wiped away the tears on her face.

Mu Xian stopped looking at her and nodded, "You go back first. Someone will pick you up from the palace later." After saying that, Mu Xi'an strode out of the raccoon bureau and looked up at the morning sun that had just risen. "At this time, one thing drops one thing."

"Miss, let's go back quickly. I guess it's time for the ministers to be early in the morning." Nianhua reminded softly.

"Okay, go back."

Time is like running water, and a day has passed in a hurry.

In the evening, as soon as the queen picked up the spoon, she saw the bright yellow figure coming in. Everyone in the palace saluted one after another. The emperor also waved his hand and walked to the round table and sat down beside the queen in a few steps. "I haven't seen Qingyun for a few days, and I actually found that Qingyun was a little fat."

When the queen heard the words, she quickly touched her cheeks and felt that there was too much meat on her face. "It's Xiyan who has been chasing me to eat this and drink that. It's no wonder that she's not fat."

"Xi Rang is right to do this. I hope Qingyun will be fatter." The emperor couldn't help praising Mu Xi.

Mu Xian also echoed, "What the emperor said is that the Empress looks better if she is a little fatter."

"I have been resting in Qianqing Palace these days, and there is no one to talk to at night. Qingyun must talk to me tonight." The emperor took chopsticks and picked up her favorite dish for the queen.

When the maid heard the words, she understood that the emperor was going to rest in Kunning Palace tonight, and Xi Gu was busy preparing.
