cool night

The past few days have been calm and peaceful.In the morning, Mu Chenling had a memorial to be approved, so Bai Feng was by his side, reading his own book and doing his own thing.Quiet, but also very comfortable.In the afternoon, almost the whole afternoon, he practiced sword.Mu Chenling could see that he was very interested, and she had nothing important to do, so she let him.

Probably because he is also in love with the medicine roll, he comes earlier than himself every day.Every time I come back from the court, I see him sitting on the sidelines and reading a book very naturally, circling around from time to time, I don't know how long he has been here.I told him many times to let him sleep a little longer, but seeing him persist in the end, I had no choice but to follow him, but I always let him go back a little earlier at night.

Hmm... today is a little different.

Mu Chenling returned to Minglan Hall in the morning, but he didn't find that familiar figure when he entered the main hall.Puzzled in my heart, I asked the person waiting outside, only to find out that he hadn't come.

This is... overslept?

Unconsciously, the corners of his mouth twitched, showing a bit of pampering that he didn't even realize.

Maybe it was because he was too tired from practicing sword last night, otherwise he would definitely not be like this with his temperament that always abides by the rules.Mu Chenling thought that it would be inappropriate to call people in the past at this time, so he ignored it and went to the main seat to read the piled up memorials.

In recent days, the borders of Liang State have become more and more frequent.Mu Chenling had a premonition that war between the two countries was inevitable.

In terms of strength, he would not lose to Liang Guo.However, if there is a war, the people will inevitably be displaced, and how many families will be destroyed.

Mu Chenling has never been a kind person, but he is a person who understands the word responsibility.Since he is an emperor, he should be responsible to the people and to the country.Anyone and everything should take Jiangshan as the first priority.

Therefore, he did not want to start a war with Liang Guo.

However, Liang Guo has repeatedly provoked and repeatedly violated the border, which is indeed intolerable for him.

When Mu Chenling thought about the border issue, he became more and more irritable, and swept away the teacups on the table with his hand, not even the fine inkstone was spared.

After a few crisp sounds, Xiao Xuanzi led a few waiters outside the hall to come in quietly, cleaned up the debris all over the floor, and then quietly retreated.After a while, several people came in and put on new teacups and inkstones.

It is commonplace, it seems that the emperor is so moody is common.

Today, since Young Master Xiao is not here, the emperor lost his temper again.It seems that only Mr. Xiao can restrain the emperor.Xiao Xuanzi couldn't help thinking like this in his heart, and at the same time became more sure of his guess that day.

Mu Chenling didn't know what was going on in his mind, but he suddenly felt that fortunately Bai Feng wasn't here.Otherwise, you should be scared...

In fact, in front of him, he is very good at controlling himself.

I am used to having a quiet person by my side every day, but looking at the empty seat now, I feel empty in my heart.

Why haven't you come here yet... Mu Chenling thought helplessly, with a trace of doubt in his heart.

Even if you overslept, it's time to wake up...

Mu Chenling frowned, suddenly there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

Putting down the pen in his hand, Mu Chenling stood up and walked out of the hall, feeling a little eager that he couldn't explain clearly.

As soon as he walked to the side hall, he happened to see a few court ladies coming out of the side hall.

The attendants in the Minglan Palace knew that the emperor didn't want to see them always appearing in front of them, and they also knew how unpredictable the emperor's temperament was. The few people who were talking and laughing hurriedly knelt down.

"See Your Majesty."

Mu Chenling knew that someone would come to tidy up the side hall every day, but... shouldn't it be after the people go out?

"Bai... Young Master Xiao is not in the side hall?"

The sudden change of words was really a little unaccustomed.

After confirming that Bai Feng was no longer in the side hall, all these unaccustomed and all corners of his heart were occupied by doubts and worries.

Not in the side hall, where did it go?

Could it be that something could happen in this Minglan Palace!

"See Your Majesty."

The anxious mood was interrupted, Mu Chenling turned around, and was quite surprised to find that Wu Luo had knelt down beside him at some point.

Is it because I am too familiar with him that I have not taken any precautions, or... I am so worried about him that I didn't even notice anyone approaching me...

Looking at him with displeasure.

Bai Feng disappeared early in the morning, and now he came again...Mu Chenling suddenly thought of something.

Feeling as if she had found a way to vent her emotions all morning, Mu Chenling asked with an unfriendly expression: "Bai Feng, are you in the Shadow Pavilion?"

Wu Luo bowed his head: "Go back to the emperor, Bai Feng... is now at the gate of purgatory."

"The reason?" Mu Chenling's face turned cold, "Wu Luo, I don't remember what he did that he shouldn't have done."

Wu Luo leaned over: "There is a hidden guard in the Shadow Pavilion who secretly passed on the news, and Bai Feng...may be involved."

Mu Chenling sneered: "Dark guard? Spread the news?"

Mu Chenling glanced at him, and asked, "How did you become a commander?"

Wu Luo didn't dare to argue, leaned down again and said: "This subordinate is negligent, please punish the emperor."

Mu Chenling ignored him, and asked calmly after a while: "'Maybe he was involved'? No proof?"

Wu Luo briefly explained what happened, and then said: "Last night, the secret guard handed over to someone in the Imperial Garden, and Bai Feng was also there. ——The rules of the Shadow Pavilion, if there is suspicion of participation, the sentence will be executed first, and the trial will be followed."

"Just being there." Mu Chenling frowned impatiently, "It's just being there."

Wu Luo answered "Yes" in a low voice, and said again: "It's just that Bai Feng has already recognized the master, and his duty should also be in Minglan Hall. Besides, it's late at night, if there is nothing important..."

Wu Luo didn't dare to ask back, "Then what is he going to do in the Imperial Garden?" He just bowed his head respectfully, "Please let the emperor decide."

Mu Chenling rubbed the center of his brows, feeling irritable in his heart.

He didn't want to intervene too much in the affairs of the Shadow Pavilion.

He also knew the rule of punishment first and trial later, if he intervened hastily, Wu Luo would be the first to bear the brunt of face.

Although Wu Luo was born as a secret guard, he is now closing the Shadow Pavilion anyway.Mu Chenling usually doesn't show up, but he doesn't want to refute his face in front of others without reason.

But, Bai Feng...

Mu Chenling hesitated for a while: "If there is no proof... Let me go there with you. If there is no proof, then don't let him suffer that crime."
