Dote on the harem

The empress was abolished, concubine Xuan was demoted to concubine and grounded, and the concubines in the harem were in danger for a while, and they didn't dare to make any more disturbances.

Mu Zishu is supposed to sit back and relax, but these days he is still preoccupied.One is that Liu Nong is about to leave the palace, and there will be no one to accompany him to entertain him in the future, and the other is that he still feels something wrong about witchcraft.

Seeing Yuwen Junjue coming over after taking a bath, Mu Zishu propped himself up and sat up.

"Why are you sitting up?"

Now it is December, the sky is cold, and the night is even colder. Yuwen Junjue was afraid that he would be frozen, so he went to bed and hugged him in his arms.

Mu Zishu leaned into his arms and shook his head, "I'm a little tired from lying down."

Wrapping the quilt for him, Yu Wenjun kissed his forehead and said, "Is there something on your mind? Are you reluctant to leave that male favorite?"

Mu Zishu looked up at Yuwen Junjue, and sure enough, his face was a little ugly, and he said with a smile, "One thing, can I go see him off tomorrow?"

Although Yuwen Junjue doesn't like to see that noisy male favorite, but he is indeed responsible for the witchcraft, and he has been with Zishu for so long. meaning.

"Okay, let Suo Xi go with you, be careful."

Mu Zishu bent his lips and nodded, "I will be careful."

The two sat in silence for a while, Yuwen Junjue looked down at him, saw that he was in a daze again, not knowing what he was thinking, sighed and stroked his cheek.

"What are you thinking? Is there anything you can't tell me?"

Mu Zishu held that hand, clasped it in his hand, was silent for a while, and said: "Jue, do you really believe what Concubine Xuan said?"

Yuwen Junjue hugged him well and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"She said that the queen forced her, and that she accidentally bumped the corner of the table to have a miscarriage."

"You think she's lying?"

Mu Zishu was silent for a moment, looked up at him, and said, "I don't know, I always feel something is weird."

Yuwen Junjue kissed him on the cheek, and comforted him: "No matter who they framed who, in short, the witchcraft is inseparable from them, and they have all been punished now, and the rest is not important , you just need to take good care of yourself and give birth to the emperor safely."

Hearing what Yuwen Junjue said, Mu Zishu suddenly felt enlightened. That's right, no matter who framed who, the witchcraft incident is over, and the Queen and Concubine Xuan have been punished as they should. It was also peaceful, he really shouldn't think about those meaningless things anymore, the most important thing is to give birth to the emperor with peace of mind.

Mu Zishu looked at Yuwen Junjue and asked, "Jue, you seem to like children quite a bit. Do you feel a little bit sad about Concubine Xuan's miscarriage?"

Yuwen Junjue looked at him silently for a while, not knowing how to answer.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Mu Zishu only thought that he cared, and felt a little sad for him, leaned into his arms and comforted him sullenly: "Jue, Concubine Xuan's child is not yours at all, so it's not worth your sorrow. "

"Ah."

Yuwen Junjue only responded lightly, and Mu Zishu raised his head to look at him in surprise. Why did he react so lightly to this kind of thing that disturbed the blood of the royal family?

Seeing that he was so surprised, Yuwen Junjue hugged him into his arms and patted him funny, saying: "I knew from the beginning that the child concubine Xuan is carrying is not mine."

Mu Zishu was stunned, and blinked for no reason, "Why?"

Yuwen Junjue chuckled, "Concubine Xuan is from the Wanqi Kingdom, do you think I will let her have an heir of the Yuwen Dynasty? Even if she is allowed to sleep, Suoxi will light a special contraceptive incense in advance, does she not Will conceive a dragon."

Mu Zishu nodded clearly, and then asked in doubt: "Then why didn't you expose it when you found out that Concubine Xuan was pregnant? Isn't that disturbing the blood of the royal family?"

Yuwen Junjue hooked his lips, looked at the humanity in his arms and said: "You are already the target of public criticism for having a child, and Concubine Xuan can block some hostility for you even if she is pregnant, why not do it?"

Mu Zishu was silent, it turned out that Jue had already considered him for him at that time, he couldn't help but bend his lips, his heart was full of warmth.

"How do you know that Concubine Xuan's child is not mine?"

The matter of witchcraft is over, and so is Concubine Xuan's and the others' plots, so there is no need to talk about those matters one by one, but simply said: "It's just that I accidentally heard Concubine Xuan and Concubine Xuan's relationship with Concubine Xuan when I went to the library that day. It's just someone else's conversation."

Yuwen Junjue nodded, hugged him and lay down in the quilt, "Is there nothing on your mind now? Go to sleep."

Mu Zishu bent his lips, he really didn't have anything on his mind, he leaned against his arms and closed his eyes to fall asleep.

Early the next morning, after Yuwen Junjue went to court, Mu Zishu also got up early.After a simple wash and breakfast, he and Suoxi went to the gate of the palace to send Liu Nong off.

Liu Nong knew that Mu Zishu would definitely get the emperor's permission to send him off, so he had been waiting at the gate of the palace, and finally he was there.

Having been together for such a long time, the two of them can be regarded as confidantes and friends, and they can't help but feel a little sad about parting at this time, and even the always noisy Liu Nong has become serious.

"Zi Shu, thank you for coming to see me off."

Mu Zishu smiled slightly, "It's me who should say thank you. You have helped me so much, but I can't repay you."

Liu patted Mu Zishu's shoulder with a smile, shook his head and said, "Why didn't you help me? Didn't you help me out of the palace? It's a pity that I can't watch your child be born. I will come back to see him when I have time in the future." .”

Mu Zishu nodded with a smile.

Neither of them knew what to say, and Liu Nong was silent for a while, then took out a small purse from his arms and handed it to him.

"This is made by my husband. It is a pouch for purifying poison. Although the queen and concubine Xuan can no longer do evil, there is no guarantee that other concubines in the harem will not harm you. You can use silver to eat and drink. Needle test poison, but there is no guarantee that someone will not release poisonous smoke or something in the middle of the night, this purse can absorb those poisonous gases, you can hang it by the bedside."

Mu Zishu took the purse, his heart was full of emotion, "Thank you for being so considerate for me."

Liu Nong didn't want to be saddened by his moving appearance, so he laughed and said, "You are my good friend, of course I have to think about you, my husband is so powerful, let's make the best use of everything!"

Mu Zishu was amused by him, and finally stepped forward to give Liu Nong a hug, "Take care all the way."

Liu Nong nodded, "I will. From now on, Fei Ge will pass on letters, so be careful, I'm leaving."

Seeing Liu Nong walk towards the palace gate step by step and walk out of the palace gate, although Mu Zishu was a little sad, he still smiled gratifiedly. Outside the palace is his lover and his world, which is great.

Suo Xi, who was at the side, saw Mu Zishu's expression of emotion, and said: "If you feel bored in the future, young master, you can find a villain to relieve your boredom."

Mu Zishu took a look at Suo Xi and smiled slightly, "Okay. I just think that Liu Nong's world is outside the palace, so I'm happy for him."

Suoxi nodded, and said: "If you want to leave the palace, you can let the emperor take you out of the palace to play after the little prince is born."

When Suoxi said this, Mu Zishu also remembered what Yuwen Junjue said, that after the emperor's son was born, they would go out of the palace to play together, and they could also visit the nanny by the way, it would be best if they could bring the emperor's son together.

After stroking his growing belly, the corners of Mu Zishu's mouth curled up unconsciously, feeling that everything was so beautiful.

"Well, Susi is right, let's go."

Walking back together with Suoxi, looking at the sky, Jue should also be down at this time.

Not long after he left, a group of ministers who had left the palace early in the morning ushered in on the opposite side. Those who had seen Mu Zishu all stopped to pay their respects. Gu Sabai and Si Jin also exchanged a few words of greeting with him before leaving.

After the group of ministers left one after another, Mu Zishu and Suoxi continued walking, but they were blocked by someone.

Mu Zishu looked at the person in court clothes in front of him, and had some vague impressions, as if he had seen it at the emperor's birthday banquet, but he couldn't remember who it was, so he heard Suo Xi behind him say: "Marshal Yuan."

It turned out that the person who came was Yuan Rong, Marshal of the Army and Horses, who was also the elder brother of the Queen.

"Director Suoxi, Empress Mu Fei."

Mu Zishu smiled slightly, "I'm called Mr. Mu. I often hear people say that the marshal is brave and good at fighting. Today, Zishu is lucky to meet him."

Yuan Rong had no expression on his face, he just said: "I also often hear about Mr. Mu, I wonder if Mr. Mu would give me the honor to chat with my minister for a while."

Mu Zishu was taken aback, Yuan Rong is the queen's elder brother, and only the queen's younger sister, and he is also related to the queen's being deposed and sent to the cold palace. Yuan Rong probably wants to talk to him about the queen.

Seeing that Mu Zishu was a little hesitant, Suoxi said when he didn't want to go, "Marshal Yuan, the young master is not feeling well right now, I'm afraid..."

"It's nothing." Mu Zishu interrupted Suo Xi, smiled at Yuan Rong, and said, "Why don't you just sit in the small pavilion in front, what does the Marshal think?"

Yuan Rong nodded expressionlessly, and turned to let Mu Zishu go first.

After sitting in the pavilion, Mu Zishu said to Suo Xi again: "Suo Xi, the emperor is about to come down, you go and serve him, I will go back later by myself."

Suoxi looked at Muzi's book, then at Yuan Rong, guessing that Yuan Rong would not do anything to the young master, besides there were four shadow guards in the dark, so he replied: "Yes, young master."

After Suoxi left, Yuan Rong looked at Mu Zishu expressionlessly and said, "Young Master Mu is so courageous, if you stay alone, you won't be afraid that I will harm your heart?"

Mu Zishu said with a smile: "Since I agreed to chat with the marshal for a while, I should respect the marshal. The marshal didn't bring anyone with me, so Zishu shouldn't be either."

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Mu Zishu looked at him calmly, "Why did Marshal want to kill me? If it was for Lingmei, Zishu thinks Marshal would not do that."

Yuan Rong raised his eyebrows suspiciously, and asked, "Why?"

Mu Zishu smiled slightly, and met Yuan Rong's probing eyes without avoiding, "The emperor once told Zishu that the marshal is a loyal minister who can distinguish right from wrong. As an older brother, the marshal will be angry if he makes his sister angry. Zishu understands. But Lingmei is indeed the one who made the mistake. The emperor has given her several chances. It is only natural that Lingmei will be punished for refusing to correct. Zishu."

Yuan Rong looked at Muzi's book in silence for a moment, and then said: "But I still feel uncomfortable, Mr. Mu, what do you think should be done?"

"There are only Marshal and Zishu here. Suoxi also knows that Marshal and Zishu are together. If the marshal kills Zishu to vent his anger, he will surely die in the future. Besides, the emperor uses Marshal so much, how can Marshal have the heart to let him down?" The emperor's trust?"

Yuan Rong suddenly chuckled, "Young Master Mu is really eloquent and has a calm attitude. It's no wonder the emperor loves you, but my poor sister is too greedy to be like Young Master Mu."

Mu Zishu saw that Yuan Rong had no intention of hurting him, and indeed he was not a person who discriminates between good and evil as Jue said, and said with a smile: "Marshal, why bother to be sad, the emperor only sent Lingmei to the cold palace. The fact that he was not executed was because of the marshal's face, the emperor must still have the same trust in the marshal, and the marshal should cheer up, and he will never lose the grace of the emperor."

Yuan Rong looked at Mu Zishu and nodded slightly, "I will definitely live up to the grace of the Lord."

"It's good that the marshal can think so. The marshal is still feeling uncomfortable, but he can come to the palace and play a few games of chess with Zishu to relieve his boredom. It's getting late, and Zishu should go back."

Seeing Mu Zishu get up, Yuan Rong also stood up, looking at him not as indifferent as before, but with a bit of warmth, "Mr. Mu is inconvenient, Rong Chen will escort you back."

Mu Zishu slightly bent his lips, and did not refuse. The two walked one after the other, heading towards Qingyue Hall.
