The country is the matchmaker!Princess Black Lotus is reborn as a poisonous concubine

Mu Hongyan nodded with a serious face, "Yes, the mother-in-law has taught her children many times based on her father's experience, and warned her children not to focus on books. Only through this can they understand the true meaning of the books."

Emperor Heiren smiled heartily, "I can rest assured about the son taught by Concubine De."

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Mu Yun immediately changed the topic and started talking haha.

Don't put too much pressure on children, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

"Father, you haven't eaten this locust flower cake yet. It's not sweet. I ordered the imperial kitchen to make it according to the recipe of my hometown. You can try it."

Emperor Pingren obediently took a piece and put it in his mouth, "Well, my Yunlan is the most popular with me, not bad."

Seeing that Emperor Pingren was in a better mood, Mu Yun was secretly happy. In order to perfectly kick the eldest prince out, she deliberately arranged more opportunities for Emperor Pingren to get to know Mu Hongyan.

Mu Hongyan is not a waste like the eldest prince who only cares about himself. He is talented and has a world-wide mind. He is more suitable for the future crown prince position than his elder brother.

Alas, she was really worried about Dashuo's bright future.

The hot summer is coming, and the weather is getting hotter day by day.

As usual in previous years, the palace will hold a Cooling Festival to cool off the summer heat. At that time, everyone can go boating in the Taiye Lake in the Royal Garden in the west of Beijing, enjoy the breeze in the middle of the lake, and enjoy cool food. It is very leisurely and comfortable. .

In previous years, the Queen would handle the Cooling Festival, but this year, Queen Xiao was worried about her mother's family affairs and had no extra thoughts to organize another large-scale palace event, so she took the initiative to give up the power and all matters of the Cooling Festival were taken over. It will be handled by the concubines in the harem.

Not many people are willing to take on this kind of laborious and futile task. However, Concubine Shu, who has always kept herself out of trouble, unexpectedly took the initiative to take over the Cool Cool Festival.

When Mu Yun learned the news from a chance encounter on the carriage, she curled her lips and smiled, Concubine Shu was going to cause trouble.

Mu Yun is not afraid of making enemies in the palace, but she is afraid that her enemies will not stumbling upon her.Come on, come on, everyone, I'm waiting for you!

The carriage rolled melodiously through the bustling streets filled with people, and after turning a corner, they arrived at her temporary "stronghold" outside the palace - Guanque Restaurant.

Mu Yun didn't need any further instructions. He happened to meet the guard as if he were at his own home. He casually found an empty table in the lobby and sat down. After Mu Yun rewarded the waiter who was very good at observing words with a few pieces of silver, he I came to the private room last time alone.

Seeing that the waiter had closed the door tightly when he left, Mu Yun stood in front of the hot xuan window, closed the bamboo curtain to protect her from the rain, and gently blew the white jade whistle in her mouth.

Before finishing the cup of herbal tea, Shiba had already entered the house.

"Madam, my subordinates have been watching. The doctor who entered the palace was brought directly from home by General Cheng."

The well-trained secret guards of Liuying Pavilion, once they have something to report, they never add any politeness and go straight to the point.

Mu Yun put down the jade teacup in her hand and looked at Shiba with confusion, "Does that doctor live in Cheng Mansion?"

When she went to Cheng Mansion in her last life, she never saw this person?

Shiba cupped his hands and said seriously: "Yes, the Cheng Mansion is heavily guarded and my subordinates cannot have direct contact with him. However, my subordinates discovered something very strange."

Mu Yun raised her eyebrows, a little curious, "Tell me about it?"

"At the gate of Cheng Mansion, there are always groups of people dressed as servants coming in and out. However, through observation by my subordinates, I found that they are not the real servants of Cheng Mansion. What they do specifically is not clear to me yet."

Mu Yun frowned slightly, "A lot?"

Shiba nodded solemnly to Mu Yun, "The number of people pretending to be servants is comparable to our Liuying Pavilion."

Mu Yun was slightly frightened. Could it be that Cheng Mansion was raising private soldiers in his own house?How dare they do such a thing at the foot of the Imperial City?However, does Cheng Mansion have such a big venue?

Putting aside the shock in her heart, Mu Yun looked at Shiba, "Is there anything else abnormal in the Cheng family?"

Shiba's eyes turned around to the ceiling, as if he was thinking hard. After a while, he returned his eyes to Mu Yun and replied: "There are really no other abnormalities. It's just that the entire Cheng Mansion is on guard." The level is truly something I have never seen before.”

Mu Yun chuckled, of course, the Cheng family would rebel in the future, and that was not an ordinary family.

Mu Yun held the tea cup and slowly turned it in her hand, "What happened to the man who was thrown into the abandoned princess's mansion?"

"He is already awake and is being watched by Mr. Junior High School. You can wait for Madam to ask questions at any time." Shiba slapped the back of his head hard. "By the way, although General Cheng doesn't show it on his face, he seems to be in private recently. Send his men to find someone."

Mu Yun played with the tea cup in her hand and glanced at Shiba without changing her expression, "Of course, the man we tied up is a close aide of Cheng Zhi."

Eighteen's pupils suddenly shrank for less than half a second, and his stunned state of mind immediately calmed down.That's right, although Madam is not very old, she is still Madam after all. The trivial matter of tying up a confidant of the current general is not worth mentioning, just get used to it.

Mu Yun picked up the jade teapot with the crane embossed on it, filled her tea cup with tea, and poured another cup for Shiba.

"Brother Shiba, come here, drink some tea to moisten your throat," Mu Yun raised her plain white hand and motioned Shiba to sit down opposite her, "Let that man hang out for a few days and just lock him up. There is no need to torture him. What to ask."

Well, she is the most kind-hearted.

For a close confidant who has been by Cheng Zhi's side for so many years, it would be difficult for him to speak easily through coercion and inducement, so she had to change her approach and try a soft policy to make him join her and use her for her own purposes.

His hands were stained with the blood of so many innocent people who died in vain. He was allowed to die so easily before all the useful information in his hands was exhausted. Mu Yun could not calm down the anger in his heart.

Mu Yun subconsciously wanted to take out a banknote from her sleeve. She paused for half a second and took her hand back.

After all, Shi Shi doesn't accept any money from her, so he can just compensate his master in the future.

"Madam, you don't have any other instructions. This subordinate will leave first." Shiba bowed and held his hands.

"Are you leaving without a cup of tea?" Mu Yun turned her head and looked at him.

Shiba took two steps back. How dare he drink Madam's tea!

Mu Yun was speechless. What on earth did their master order? Everyone was afraid to avoid him.

"Okay, the Cheng Mansion will continue to keep an eye on it. If there is anything unusual, write it down for me. I will leave the palace in two days."

"Yes, ma'am, I'll take my leave."

"Huh? By the way, do you really have no news about your male master?" Mu Yun looked at him with a pair of big questioning eyes.

It had been so many days, and Ah-Dai hadn't come back with a letter. Although she firmly believed that nothing would happen to Mr. Chu, she still couldn't help but feel worried.

In his last life, he was fine until his death. How could something happen to him?

As expected, Shiba looked embarrassed again.

Mu Yun held her forehead and waved her hand, "Brother Eighteen, please leave slowly. I won't see you off."

"Farewell, subordinate!"
