a pillow in autumn

"What did you say?!" Zhou Muyu turned around abruptly, his eyes were violent and cold without concealing it.

"Your Majesty is afraid of Shen Ke's illness, and urgently invites Prince Rui back to the capital." The thin man knelt on one knee on the ground, half-raised his head to look at Prince Wen: "Your Majesty hastened all the way to report to His Highness, it has been more than a month before."

"More than a month? So, Zhou Mubai has received a summons and rushed to Ruijing." Zhou Muyu's face was pale, and he took a step back: "Why Zhou Mubai? The emperor is seriously ill, and the lonely king is his direct relative." Brother, why didn't you invite the lonely king back to Beijing! Instead, you recruited that wild boy! What was he thinking?!"

The thin man glanced in the direction of the window, the window was closed tightly, he still took two steps on his knees, came to Zhou Muyu, and replied in a low voice: "Your Highness, I have followed you for so many years, your grand plans and ambitions , the younger one can somewhat understand. So... the younger one took the initiative and intercepted the two father-in-laws sent by Ruijing to Canglang County."

"Cut?" Zhou Muyu frowned, staring at him, "So cut?"

The man raised his hand, placed it by his neck, and made a horizontal wiping gesture.

"It happened so suddenly, I have no choice but to cut it first and then play it. I beg Your Highness to forgive me."

"Okay! Well done! Well done!" Zhou Muyu's eyes lit up, he paced up and down the room, and asked again, "Are your hands and feet clean?"

The man said: "I arranged for a few brothers to lie in ambush in a remote and desolate place. After the two were brought down, all the valuables were taken away, and the corpse was thrown at the bottom of the hidden hillside. It's time for bandits to rob the road."

"You have done a good job. You are courageous and resourceful. Follow the lonely king, and the lonely king will never treat you badly." Zhou Muyu laughed loudly, helped him up by his arm, and immediately rewarded him with 3 taels of silver, Instead, he asked, "Who is better at kung fu, you or Teng Snake?"

A trace of jealousy flashed across the ordinary man's face, and he lowered his eyebrows and replied: "If you are talking about fighting alone, you are not as good as Mr. Teng. If you are talking about winning by surprise, you have to compare yourself to know."

Zhou Muyu patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "So he is suitable to be a surprise soldier, and you are suitable to be a general."

The thin man's eyes brightened, and he knelt down again: "The little one is willing to make a living for His Highness, and I will do anything."

After the man withdrew, Zhou Muyu called Guo Mingxi in and told him about the situation in Beijing.

Guo Mingxi heard that Prince Wen's subordinates had silenced the father-in-law who passed the imperial decree in the court, and opened his mouth wide in shock. Before he could digest it, he heard Prince Wen say: "Go and prepare, and return to Beijing with the lonely king tomorrow morning." .”

"Going back to the capital?" Guo Mingxi said in a daze, "His Royal Highness, returning to the capital without permission...is AWOL."

Zhou Muyu sneered and said, "The good imperial brother of the lonely king issued one decree, wouldn't he issue another one? The lonely king spent so much effort to get Zhou Mubai away, and he still wants to see her come back to do bad things?" He Glancing at him coldly, "It's okay if you don't want to go back to Beijing, but if you don't, then you never go back."

Compared with the ups and downs in Ruijing and the darkness in Xizhen, Zhou Mubai, who is far away in Canglang County, is living a much more comfortable life.

It was early winter at this time, and Zhou Mubai was discussing the tax and tribute payment at the end of the year with his staff.Prince Rui's territory is near the sea, and it not only has sea salt as a basis, but also has fishery and sea affairs. Just one item of incense, so many wealthy families in the capital flock to it.

At dusk, Zhou Mubai talked to her daughter-in-law in the mansion, and said for a while that Zhou Yuanzheng was already four years old, whether he would make a note along with this tribute, and make Yuanzheng his heir.After a while, he said that Zhou Huawan was more than three years old, so why not make a book and ask for the title of princess, what kind of title do you want, preferably loud and pleasant.

Shen Xianxun listened to her talk, she was serious at first, but she got more and more entangled with her, and then she hugged herself on the imperial concubine's bed, biting her ear.

Shen Xianxun pushed her, "Don't make trouble. Sit down properly."

Zhou Mubai refused, hugged her and let her sit on his long legs, his voice became more and more sticky: "It's not a mess. I'm not talking about serious business."

Shen Xianxun blushed, put her on her waist but pressed her hands that became more and more restless, gritted her teeth and said, "What you said is serious, but what about your hands?"

"Hands are more serious." Zhou Mubai hugged her with a smile, and stopped pretending to be a big-tailed wolf, and directly pressed down on the couch to kiss her soft red lips.

Xian Xun was gagged by her, snorted a few times, but couldn't break free, so she bit her lip with some force.

Zhou Mubai suffered from the pain, and said "uh" for a while, his lips parted a little, and when he looked down at Xian Xun, his eyes were already ablaze.

Xian Xun's pretty face was flushed by her look, but she was happy in her heart.

After being together for so many years, she only showed such longing expression when she looked at herself.

Seeing the corners of her mouth curled up, Mubai inadvertently revealed a joyful look, he loved her so much, bent his head, and kissed her again.

"Don't..." Xian Xun stopped her hand that was caressing the soft peach through her clothes, her cheeks were flushed, and she said in a low voice: "Something happened to me."

Mu Bai paused for a moment, turned his head to kiss her pink face, and said softly, "I don't want to do anything, I just want to kiss you."

Xian Qian glanced at her, the water rippled, and she was full of obsession.

The light in Mu Bai's eyes couldn't be suppressed, she licked her lips, turned around awkwardly, obediently lay beside Xian Xun, stretched out her hand, and still pulled her into her arms.

On the big pile carpet is a pair of sea blue totem embroidery, and the earth dragon has been burned in the room, which makes people feel warm. The two of them clinged together for a while, Mu Bai was already a little drowsy, she slid down a bit, Buried her face in her slender neck, it was smooth and soft, the most familiar sweetness.

Xian Xun hugged her, her eyes were full of affection, she felt that her every breath fell on her sensitive ears, and she had the lingering charm of a young couple.

The pulse of time is as quiet as yesterday.

But there were a few knocks on the door, and there was silence.

Zhou Mubai was just about to fall asleep when he was startled by the noise, his whole body trembled slightly, he opened his eyes and found himself lying in Shen Xianxun's arms, she raised her eyes and saw that Xianxun's eyelashes were drooping, He also looked at her, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Mu Bai rubbed against Xian Xun's arms before raising his voice, "What's the matter?"

The little girl outside replied: "Lord Shen is here."

Mu Bai yawned thinly, and said, "Let him wait in the study." Then he buried his face in Xian Xun's arms, and said in a muffled voice, "Why are you here at this time. I'd better find him quickly." Let's have a daughter-in-law, so that he won't have a place to go at night."

Xian Xun smiled and pinched her ears, "It's still dark at this time. Maybe there's something wrong. I guess, there's probably a reply from Second Uncle Jingzhong."

As soon as Mu Bai regained his energy, he also said with a smile: "Then you go and have a look with me."

The big study is in the front hall, some distance away from the back house, and the weather is getting colder, so the girls put on big clothes and thick cloaks for the two of them.

Mu Bai didn't want Xian Xun to be cold, so he asked someone to lift up two shoulders.

Sijin added plum pancakes to the small hand stove and stuffed them into a cotton brocade bag.Xian Xun took it over and hugged her, then turned her head and said with a smile: "I don't need shoulders, just walk a few steps down the corridor."

Mu Bai tightened her big white fox cloak, took her hand, looked back and smiled slightly: "The lonely king wants to sit on the shoulders, the princess should sit with the lonely king."

Xian Xun rolled her eyes and followed her out.

Because Canglang County is much colder than Ruijing, and it will snow in winter, the big study is naturally connected to the earth dragon.Holding a cup of hot tea, Shen Lan stood in the room and looked at a piece of calligraphy on the wall. The calligraphy was vigorous, and the four big characters "Hai Na Bai Chuan" were written.

Zhou Mubai and Shen Xianxun came in arm in arm, and the girls who followed hurriedly took off their cloaks, followed by those who held hot tea, handed warmers, and unwrapped incense, all busy together.

Shen Lan waited for the two of them to walk into the room, bowed her hands and saluted, and was obviously taken aback when she looked up.

Zhou Mubai didn't pay attention, but Shen Xianxun followed his gaze and looked at Mubai's face, only to see a few small teeth marks on Mubai's lips, which were clearly bitten by himself just now.

Her face turned red all of a sudden, and she found an excuse to go out. Mu Bai didn't understand, so he pulled her and said in a low voice: "It's cold outside, why do you have to go out again after you've had a good time? If you're impatient with us talking, Just put the small heater on your stomach and read a book in that arhat couch."

Xian Xun stamped her feet, wanting to talk or not.

Shen Lan suppressed a smile, stepped forward and said: "There is a letter from the capital." He took out a letter from his sleeve pocket, handed it over, and said, "My uncle also wrote a letter and sent it, saying that His Majesty's dragon body is not in good condition." , the Ministry of Rites drafted an imperial decree to recruit Prince Rui back to the capital."

As soon as these words came out, both Zhou Mubai and Shen Xianxun paused.They have only been in the territory for more than a year, why are they going back to Beijing soon?

Mu Bai thought for a while, then frowned and said: "In this way, I'm afraid that His Majesty's dragon body is not just a little sick."

Xian Xun asked, "When was the family letter sent?"

Mubai handed the letter to her, and she glanced at her hand, showing a puzzled expression: "Imperial decrees are always sent by a father-in-law who goes out of the palace for business, and my father must have known about this from Mr. Kang. I just wrote the letter and sent it together with the second uncle’s family letter, and it went much slower than the imperial decree. Why has the family letter arrived, but the imperial edict has not yet arrived?”

Zhou Mubai and Shen Lan looked at each other and fell silent.

It was almost the end of the year, and this was the busiest time. In the Rui Palace, all the officials were in the Chengjin Hall, talking in low voices.After a while, the chief executive came out and sang, "Your Majesty's dragon body violates the peace, and the court will stop today."

Civil and military officials looked at each other in blank dismay.

Zhou Muyu had already quietly returned to Beijing, and when he appeared in public, he only said that the emperor secretly ordered him to come back, and that he would oversee the country while he was convalescent.

The gate of the emperor's bedroom was closed, and there were hundreds of guards patrolling inside and outside. When they saw Prince Wen, they retreated in unison.

Zhou Muyu smiled coldly on his fat face, stretched out his hand, and pushed open the door of the bedroom.
