The prince is hard to serve

When Yan Wenhao came to the mountain with Mu Ziling in his arms, it happened to be the time of sunrise, the east was about to dawn, the dawn was gradually appearing, and the sky gradually turned a fish-belly white color.

Just in time, a ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the opposite mountain peak, lighting up the emerald green of a peak, and then another ray of ray passed through the clouds, and after a while, the thick clouds were gradually broken by rays of ray of light When it opened, all of a sudden, thousands of golden lights poured down, dispelling the clouds and mist all over the mountain, and the sky brightened instantly, and even the plants, trees, mountains and rivers on the mountain were all very bright.

Looking up, I saw a rising sun already high in the sky, the fiery red color, illuminating the entire sky, it was extremely dazzling.

Finding a boulder to sit down, Yan Wenhao grabbed Mu Ziling's hand, interlocked his fingers, then turned his head and smiled at him.

Mu Ziling also smiled back at him.

Afterwards, they turned their heads to look into the distance tacitly and naturally, side by side, watching the magnificent sunrise in front of them together.

After watching the sun rise and hang high in the sky contentedly, Mu Ziling felt a deep sense of drowsiness, and felt drowsy.

After all, he hadn't slept all night, and his physical condition was not good, so he was still tired after all.

Noticing Mu Ziling's sleepy appearance, Yan Wenhao stretched out his hand to pull him into his arms, and whispered to him, "If Qian He is tired, you can rely on me to sleep."

Mu Ziling raised his eyes to look at him, saw the tenderness in his eyes, and was no longer polite, he really couldn't open his eyes, so he simply took Yan Wenhao's posture of embracing him, in Yan Wenhao's arms He found a comfortable position, rubbed his head against it again, and nestled in Yan Wenhao's arms like a cat, and soon fell asleep.

And after falling asleep, the corners of Mu Ziling's mouth were still raised, as if he had a good dream.

Lowering his head, Yan Wenhao quietly looked at the young man who was sleeping soundly in his arms for a long time, couldn't help but smiled, then carefully pulled out a hand, and poked the young man in his arms slightly. He raised his cheeks, paused for a while, then stroked his eyebrows and lips, his eyes were so tender that they were about to drown in water.

Hiding in the corner, Duo Duo looked at this scene with a joyful smile on his face, but he laughed for a while, and finally remembered the business, so he jumped up and came quietly behind Yan Wenhao, reminding him softly : "Your Highness, it's already half an hour later, and the city gate will open in half an hour. If you use lightness kung fu at that time, I'm afraid people will find out."

"Yeah, I got it." Yan Wenhao lifted Mu Ziling into his arms, turned around, and said softly, "Go home."

"Yes." Duo Yuan replied respectfully, and then disappeared again.

Using light work, Yan Wenhao returned to the mansion with Mu Ziling in his arms, and did not stay in the mansion too long. He ordered Fuquan to prepare the carriage, and when the carriage was ready, he hugged Mu Ziling who was still asleep. Ziling went straight back to the palace.

He also had to go to the imperial study to meet his father and tell him about Shi Shaoling's arrival. At the same time, he also told him about the plan that Mu Ziling had thought up last night, so that he could cooperate with him.

The carriage drove smoothly all the way back to the palace.

After returning to Ling Xiao Pavilion, Yan Wenhao carried Mu Ziling back to the main hall, carefully placed him on the bed, and tucked the quilt for him, so that he could have a good rest.Then he ordered Duo Yuan to take care of him outside, not to let other servants and maidservants disturb Mu Ziling.

After carefully instructing Duan Yuan, Yan Wenhao turned around and walked out of the screen. He called the waiter to prepare his clothes, and went straight to the bathroom to wash up and change into clean clothes.

At about three o'clock in the morning, Yan Wenhao led a servant and walked towards the imperial study.

At this moment, the court meeting should have ended.

※※※

When Mu Ziling woke up, it was almost noon, and he sat up from the bed, he was still a little dazed, not fully awake.

He raised a hand and rubbed his somewhat dry eyes, and pressed the position of his temples, only then did he wake up a little bit.

Looking around the surrounding environment, after seeing the furnishings in the house clearly, he knew that he had returned to the Ling Xiao Pavilion.

After sitting on the bed for a while, Mu Ziling lifted the quilt, got up and got out of the bed. He walked around the screen and walked out of the hall. He looked around for Yan Wenhao, but he was still nowhere to be seen. When there were multiple voices, he asked aloud, "Where is Your Highness?"

Duo Duo heard the sound, and immediately replied with a smile: "Your Highness went to the imperial study earlier, and I think he should be on his way back now." After a pause, he asked again: "Can you order the maid to take the toiletry utensils?" came in?"

Nodding slightly, Mu Ziling nodded and said, "Well, let them in."

Cleansing his face, rinsing his mouth, dressing and tying his hair, after Mu Ziling finished these, Yan Wenhao just stepped into the palace door and walked in with a smile.

Seeing that Mu Ziling had woken up, Yan Wenhao couldn't help walking quickly to his side, and said softly, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Smiling at him, Mu Ziling said, "I've had enough sleep, and it's almost noon now, so I should get up."

He waved away the other palace servants, leaving only Duo Yuan to wait on him. Yan Wenhao took Mu Ziling's hand, sat down on the soft bed together, and asked softly, "Is Qian He hungry? Lunch is not ready yet." Get ready, let's eat some pastries to pad your stomach." Then, he took a piece of red bean cake and brought it to Mu Ziling's mouth.

"Thank you."

Without rejecting the kindness, Mu Ziling took the cake and ate it bite by bite.

After eating, Mu Ziling drank some tea and asked after a moment of silence: "You are going to see His Majesty today, but discuss with him who will 'go on patrol' on behalf of the heavens and go to the south of the Yangtze River?"

Playing with his fingers, Yan Wenhao heard the words and replied eloquently: "I first told my father about Shi Shaoling and the Xiongnu warriors, and I also mentioned it to him by the way. After listening to my father, I should agree gone."

He pursed his lips and smiled, the smile in Yan Wenhao's eyes stained his brows, he continued with a smile: "Later Father asked me who came up with this idea, and I told Father that it was you who brought it up, Even though Fu Huangdang praised you, he also rewarded you with some rare treasures, and asked me to bring them back to you. I think you love painting and calligraphy very much, so I asked Fu Huang for some high-quality pine flower inkstones. Should like it."

Mu Ziling looked at him, nodded, and said with a smile, "Thank you, I like it."

After being quiet for a while, Mu Ziling couldn't help but asked: "Your Majesty, please mention it. Who are you going to send as an envoy to Jiangnan?"

Yan Wenhao told him: "I recommended Jiang Xi to my father."

"Jiang Xi?" Mu Ziling couldn't help but frowned.

Ever since the previous incident, Mu Ziling has always felt pity for Jiang Xi, probably because he felt pity for him for 20 years without getting what he asked for, and for being someone else's pawn in vain. The heart is trampled under the feet of others, and the sincerity that has been given is wasted...

But it's pitiful, at this moment, Mu Ziling didn't say much after all, he could understand that Yan Wenhao had his own intentions for doing this, and he didn't need to speculate for no reason.

He could see what Mu Ziling was thinking at a glance, Yan Wenhao raised the corners of his lips towards Mu Ziling, and smiled gently. After a while, he suppressed his smile, and analyzed in a slow voice: "Jiang Xi is a member of the Ministry of Punishment. Shangshu, a first-rank official in the court, is in charge of criminal law matters, so it is most legitimate for him to 'go on patrol on behalf of heaven'."

"What's more, he originally belonged to the camp of the fifth emperor's younger brother, and now the fifth emperor's younger brother and the concubine Liang are dead, and the officials who once supported them also scattered, and each went to the sect of other princes, and he was the only one. , have never entered any camp so far, but have become a middle party like Mu Daren and Grandpa, and from this point of view, it is also very appropriate."

Having said this, he stopped, grabbed Mu Ziling's hand and kissed it, then smiled again, and continued: "Shi Buyuan has always been high-profile, and it has long been known that he is the uncle of Concubine Degui. It would be self-defeating for a minister from the camp of the Three Emperors to go on tour, making Shi Buyuan guess that the person who is really going to go on tour is us who are visiting incognito, so he becomes more vigilant."

After pondering for a moment, he said softly again: "Be modest and don't worry, I will let An Yi go to protect him."

Mu Ziling was still worried and confused, but after hearing Yan Wenhao's words, he immediately understood completely. He turned his head to look at Yan Wenhao, with crooked eyes and smiling faces. After a while, he Then he looked away, changed the subject again, and talked some leisurely words with Yan Wenhao.

For a while, the atmosphere between the two of them was very good.

Duo Duo stood outside, looking at their appearances, and couldn't bear to disturb the atmosphere, but Fu Xi, the head of the imperial court, came over in person, and was waiting outside at this time. Presumably, there was an order from His Majesty, so he didn't dare to wait and see and procrastinate Hearing His Majesty's orders, he had no choice but to enter the palace lightly, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, Imperial Concubine, Eunuch Fuxi is here, do you want to let him into the palace?"

When Yan Wenhao heard this, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, he nodded slightly and said, "Let him in."

"Yes."

Duo Duo led the order, and after a while, Fuxi left the hall. He saluted both Yan Wenhao and Mu Ziling respectfully, and then took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Yan Wenhao, " Your Highness, this is a letter written by His Majesty to you, and at the same time, His Majesty also asked this old slave to tell you that the imperial concubine will also accompany you on this trip to the south of the Yangtze River, and do not stay in Beijing."

Hearing this, Yan Wenhao frowned and asked, "What's your father's intention?" This trip was extremely dangerous, and if he was traveling together, he was worried that something would happen to Mu Ziling.

Fuxi said: "Your Majesty said that in order to deceive people, he will arrange for Your Highness to go to the Huguo Temple with the imperial concubine to pray for the empress for two months under the pretext of a few days. No one will disturb you during these two months. , you can take this opportunity to go to Jiangnan without being known by anyone.

"The reason why the imperial concubine should follow you is because only the imperial concubine will accompany you and go to Huguo Temple to pray with you, so that people will not be suspicious. In the end, your majesty also said that the imperial concubine has always been intelligent. Witty, talented and learned, going to the south of the Yangtze River with you, can also advise your Highness, collect evidence and return to Beijing as soon as possible."

Tightly holding Mu Ziling's hand, Yan Wenhao asked in a deep voice with no expression on his face: "But who will protect Qian He's safety?"

Fu Xi said: "Your Majesty will order someone to secretly protect you and the imperial concubine."

Yan Wenhao wanted to say something more, but Mu Ziling at the side held his hand, preventing him from speaking later.

He frowned happily, and Mu Ziling's eyes were full of smiles. He said, "Your Highness, I am also happy to go to the south of the Yangtze River with you." He was naturally very happy to go to Jiangnan together.

Turning his head to look at Mu Ziling, Yan Wenhao's eyes were full of worry, and he couldn't help saying: "Mom, this trip is extremely dangerous, why bother..."

"Your Highness."

Interrupting what Yan Wenhao said later, Mu Ziling said with a serious face, "I said yesterday that I'm not a woman, and I don't need to be protected by you forever. I also want to help you, once."

"Humble..."

Facing Mu Ziling's extremely stubborn eyes, Yan Wenhao finally sighed lightly. He knew that no matter what he said, he couldn't make Mu Ziling change his mind, so he had no choice but to compromise.

Raising his hand, he tapped the tip of Mu Ziling's nose with his fingertips, and Yan Wenhao said helplessly and dotingly: "Well, I can't always say no to you, but you must remember to follow me and General Xie closely. side."

Mu Ziling nodded seriously, and said with a smile, "I will remember."

Seeing this, Fuxi heaved a sigh of relief, let go of the big stone in his heart, and finally completed the task, he stood for a while, then respectfully saluted them, and then said: "So, the old servant still needs to go back. Return to life, and leave first."

Glancing at him, Yan Wenhao gave a faint "hmm".
