In the East Palace, after Mrs. an's death, Li Shiyuan seldom went to other concubines.
But every day, Li Shiyuan would go to Mu Cen's bedroom to have dinner with him, and then he would leave in a hurry, and rarely stay in the east palace.
Near the autumn festival, the palace has become extremely busy, plus this trip and the empress dowager, it is even more so. The people of the house of internal affairs could not tolerate the slightest mistake, and they were even more cautious.
And Kyoto also gradually entered the late summer and early autumn, began to have a trace of cool.
Just at noon, I still feel extremely hot and dry. A few steps can make people sweat.
"What are you doing here, miss?" He Xiang wiped his sweat and asked Mu Cen strangely.
Mu Cen carried his skirt and walked quietly towards the top of the palace wall. There were few people here. Only the soldiers guarding the palace wall were there. When they saw Mu Cen, they were stunned, but they immediately knelt down and asked for An'an.
"Princess, why are you here?" The bodyguards looked at each other, especially nervous.
For fear that something might happen to Mu Cen, the charge is directly on their head, which is the capital crime of falling on their head.
When someone saw Mu Cen coming, he immediately went to inform the former Imperial Guard Mu Zhanxiao.
Instead, Mu Cen raised his hand: "get up, let's have a look at this palace."
"Yes." The guard answered.
Mu Cen ignored the bodyguard and walked towards the top of the palace wall. Mu Zhanxiao had already received the news and came in a hurry. When he saw Mu Cen, Mu Zhanxiao's eyebrows were slightly twisted, and then followed him.
"Princess, how did you come to this place?" Mu Zhanxiao stopped half a meter away from Mu Cen and asked faintly.
"Have a good time." Mu Cen pour is direct, "Mu adult, have not seen for a while."
Mu Zhanxiao didn't say anything, but in Mu Cen's words, Mu Zhanxiao already understood the purpose of Mu Cen's coming here. He followed Mu Cen's eyes and looked in the past, which was the place where the late lotus was hanging.
"The late lotus has been hanging here for four days, but it can't survive this evening." What Mu Zhanxiao said was expressionless.
"Longer than the palace expected." Mu Cen smile, "hang here, have no one come?"
"It's a matter of danger. Who else does the princess think dares to come?" Mu Zhanxiao's model essay.
Mu Cen looked at Mu Zhanxiao, slightly raised his eyebrows, and then nodded: "yes. It's just that people are hung up like this, and they don't get redress? "
"When the late lotus was sent, it had been poisoned. It could not say anything, and it had never been put down from above. It would irrigate her three times a day. In addition, the weather during this period of time was extremely hot at noon, but it was cool at night. Now it's probably on the verge of death." Mu Zhanxiao explained carefully.
Mu Cen very light of Mou light from the late lotus body took back: "pity."
Mu Zhanxiao didn't answer.
"Man is dead. Let people go to the Empress Dowager's place to reply, drag people down and find a place to bury them. " Mu Cen said calmly, "this matter, late lotus is just a chess piece, no use, naturally abandoned."
Mu Zhanxiao did not deny it.
There are too many pieces of Wanlian in the palace. When the scenery is infinite, once the master has an accident, these pieces will be destroyed for the first time.
Needless to say, this matter is very much involved.
Mu Zhanxiao called the bodyguard and explained a few words. The bodyguard left in a hurry.
"Although the prince seems to be safe and sound, he is only expelled from the palace by the devalued king, and the empress of the imperial concubine is still in the palace, but the palace where the empress of the imperial concubine lives has been heavily guarded. In other words, except that it is not as cold as the cold palace, and there are slaves to serve, the empress of the imperial concubine is no different from being under house arrest."
Mu Zhanxiao then continued: "as for the prince outside the palace, it's not surprising if something happens. Now outside the palace where the great prince is located, there are people from the prince. I'm afraid they are also worrying. "
Mu Cen chuckled.
All this is in line with common sense, and also in line with Li Shiyuan's way of life.
Li Shiyuan couldn't be at ease if Li Shiyi didn't get rid of his roots at the first time. Even if Li Shiyuan and Li Shiyuan joined hands in these matters, what about that?
For the rest, Li Shiyuan is not needed. Li Shiyuan is enough.
That's why Li Shiyuan is even busier. To eradicate the remaining evil forces on Li Shiyi's side, he also needs to ensure that there is no risk. In other words, Li Changtian still has some father son relationship. Li Shiyi stripped away from the center of power, at least left his life.
But Li Shiyuan has no brotherhood.
In the three or four months since Li Changtian went to the autumn festival, Li Shiyi will completely disappear from Kyoto.
When Li Shiyi had an accident, even if he was far away in the western regions, Li Shiyuan would be summoned.
And at that time——
Mu Cen connected these things, his face changed slightly, and Mu Zhanxiao noticed: "what's the matter?"
"Did you go to the western regions this time?" Mu Cen turned around and asked directly.
Mu Zhanxiao quieted down and answered truthfully: "as a bodyguard before the emperor, I will go with the emperor to protect his safety."
Mu Cen frowned and nodded.
This is also true.
She didn't think much about the last life, but seriously looked at Mu Zhanxiao: "in the palace, there are people you trust to stay."
"Of course there is." Mu Zhanxiao did not deny that "the Rongsi Temple next to his fourth highness will also stay in Kyoto. Rongsi is a shadow guard. No one knows the existence of Rongsi, which is the safest. In addition, he Rongjiu is a twin, which is easy to use when necessary. "
"What else?" Mu Cen continues to ask.
Mu Zhanxiao knows the relationship between mu Cen and Li Shiyuan. He also knows that Li Shiyuan doesn't tell Mu Cen everything, but if Mu Cen asks, Li Shiyuan will say everything.
So he told Mu Cen the truth about some people who stayed in the palace.
Mu Cen listened carefully, and then read a few names: "these people, you let Rong Temple pay attention, what they say is not necessarily credible. If you can buy off the prince, the prince can buy off your people. "
Mu Zhanxiao looked at Mu Cen: "how do you know these things?"
"You don't care how I know, just do what I say. In addition, if you go to the autumn festival, it will not be safe in the palace. Those who stay should be more careful. " Mu Cen explained.
Her brain is a little confused, calm for a moment, Mu Cen looked at Mu Zhanxiao: "if you can, I will try to let you stay in the palace."
Mu Zhanxiao stood with a negative hand and did not speak.
"When you are in the palace, you feel more at ease." Mu Cen answered and finished what he said.
