Chapter 269 - Queen of the North (2)
Mu Wanjun looked at this battle force and calculated in her heart. If one day the Great Qin Army and the Northern Army faced off against each other, who would have a better chance of winning?
While she was thinking, they had crossed the training ground, and under the City Tower, Hua Ye had dismounted and left. They followed the procession and pulled the horses into the stables.
After finding an opportunity, Huyan took Mu Wanjun and left.
Huyan was very familiar with the path of the Northern Imperial Court, he took Mu Wanjun and they zigzagged their way out of the drill grounds, and found a place to enter from the north side of the drill grounds.
"This is the very back of the palace. We'll enter after nightfall."
After arriving at the Imperial Court, the weather gradually became normal.
Mu Wanjun and Huyan were hiding on a big tree at the back of the palace. According to Huyan, the king of the Northern Kingdom especially loved the architecture of the Great Qin and the way the Great Qin lived.
When he was young, he had been to the Capital at the Great Qin Nation and also went to the inner palace. When he saw the imperial garden, he also wanted to build a huge imperial garden behind his own palace.
As a result, in the Northern Kingdom, under such weather, no flowers could bloom. In the end, he had no choice but to plant trees that could survive.
The imperial garden had been transformed into an imperial tree garden, but after the tree grew, the sand and wind unexpectedly lessened.
The trees here only flourished more and more year by year.
Now it was almost like a forest.
As Huyan introduced the place to Mu Wanjun, he could also see soldiers patrolling from time to time under trees.
The sky had not turned dark yet, so Mu Wanjun and Huyan were not in a hurry to take action.
They slowly moved their figures, walking through the dense forest. However, they didn't walk, but rather jumped from tree to tree. Huyan movements was nimble, but Mu Wanjun had her support of cultivation, so before the sky turned dark, no one noticed them going through the Imperial Tree Garden.
The two of them hid in the kitchen and changed into the palace maid attire.
Within the imperial palace, other than the imperial guards, no other men were allowed to enter or leave the palace. There were also no popular eunuchs or servants, only palace maids.
Huyan had no choice but to disguise as a palace maid. Fortunately, Mu Wanjun had the mask in her hands, so with her help, she was still able to look pretty good.
Just as the two of them were done, the door was pushed open and a palace maid came in. She looked at them and asked, "Why are you two still here? Is the bath water the queen asked for ready? "
"Alright, I'll be there shortly." Huyan choked his throat and said.
When the palace maid turned around to leave, Mu Wanjun heaved a sigh of relief. She then moved her dress away, and behind her was the palace maid that she had not had the time to hide in, and had been knocked unconscious and tied up.
The two of them carried the buckets and walked into the palace.
Since Huyan knew the location, Mu Wanjun was not afraid of being unable to find it.
The queen's chamber was not as grand as the Great Qin's, but rather lived upstairs.
When they reached the top floor, the two of them brought the water and were driven out.
After planning for a while, he didn't even see the king behind the scenes.
"Aren't you a confidant? Why aren't you revealing your identity when everyone there is a queen's man? "
Huyan said, "I'm not familiar with the people around the queen, I think she should be under surveillance." The two of them walked along the road, thinking of countermeasures. At this moment, a group of people walked over.
The two people in the lead wore luxurious clothes from the Northern Kingdom.
When Mu Wanjun saw one of them, she was incomparably shocked.
Why was Mu Yanran here?
Mu Yanran and Seventh Prince walked together. Mu Yanran had a smile on her face, but at the corner of her eyes was a trace of flirtatiousness. Hu Lunzuomeng's gaze never left her.
Seeing Seventh Prince, Huyan secretly pulled on Mu Wanjun's sleeves, and the two of them immediately knelt down to pay their respects.
Mu Wanjun didn't raise her head. She only saw Mu Yanran's skirt sweeping past him.
The two of them chatted happily.
Hu Lunzuomeng said: "Ying'er, on the day that I become the King, I shall allow you to be the Queen, what do you think?"
Mu Yanran said: "Then I'll be looking forward to it. However, the Queen is also not willing to give up the Military Symbol, I am afraid … "
"What are you afraid of!" Let's go to her palace now. This Highness doesn't believe that we won't be able to find a mere Military Symbol after digging around three feet deep. "
"The prince is wise!"
The two of them spoke without restraint as they headed towards the direction of the queen's chambers.
Mu Wanjun was even more shocked in her heart: This Mu Yanran really is a fly! Where there is a fishy smell, there will be her!
Huyan, on the other hand, was shocked by their words. No wonder he felt something was amiss when he was in the queen's chambers. The entire palace was controlled by someone. No! He must find a way to save the queen.
He and Mu Wanjun left quickly but secretly returned to a place not far from the queen's chambers.
Huyan wanted to jump on the roof and check from the top, but Mu Wanjun stopped him. Mu Yanran's cultivation was on par with hers, at such a close distance, they would definitely be discovered.
Mu Yanran and Hu Lunzuomeng walked to the queen's chambers.
Just as he was about to enter, the Queen's trusted aide shouted, "How dare you! Seventh Prince, the Queen is bathing. Are you sure you want to wear it? "
Hu Lunzuomeng laughed, "What are you afraid of? "Father has already gone on a stroll. Once I inherit the throne, will the current Queen become my beloved concubine or not?"
Mu Yanran's expression changed, she had heard that the Northern Kingdom and the others lived in the Savage Land, it was a place where the people liked to live, but here, her father had died a long time ago, and the widowed wife would often become the women of her uncles and brothers. But now, hearing Hu Lunzuomeng say that he would take her mother away, even she felt disgusted.
No matter how much he tried to feign his identity, he still felt disgusted by the sight before him. Thus, he couldn't help but shudder.
Hu Lunzuomeng kind enough to understand Mu Yanran's feelings, and said: "Your Highness is waiting in the side hall, let the queen move faster, Your Highness's patience isn't very good."
The two of them waited at the side.
Taking advantage of this, Mu Wanjun and Huyan jumped in from the window at the back.
The queen was in the water when she suddenly looked up and saw two strangers. Subconsciously, she wanted to cry out. However, Mu Wanjun had already covered her mouth.
Huyan shook his head at her, dipped his finger in the water and quickly wrote the word Huyan on the floor.
Mu Wanjun winked at the queen, who nodded and let go.
