In the palace of Concubine Wan Gui.
Eunuch Cao and others came outside the palace.
I saw Eunuch Cao looking at the maid standing at the door with a smile on his face and saying, "Xiu'er, your Majesty is inside."
"Go back to the manager. Your Majesty is inside and has been waiting for a long time." Xiu'er replied.
"Then you go in and inform. The adults from the Sa family and the Shen Cat Division are waiting outside."
"yes."
Xiu'er raised her head, glanced at Xue Mu next to her, then turned around and walked in.
Nangong Xue also noticed this detail.
But she didn't care.
Perhaps the maids in the palace have not seen too many men, and Xue Mu's appearance fits the image of these girls.
So after taking a quick look, it was normal, since they didn't know each other anyway.
Only Xue Mu knew that not only Xiu'er, but also Concubine Wan Gui in the palace, he had met several times.
Xiu'er walked into the hall, looked at Mo Xi'er and said, "Madam, Eunuch Cao and Lord Xue are all outside."
"Oh? You're here so soon." Mo Xi'er turned around, waved her hand and said, "Let them come in."
"Yes, concubine."
Xiu'er retreated.
Open the palace door.
He said to Eunuch Cao and others: "General manager, Mr. Xue, you can come in."
"Hey, okay." Eunuch Cao turned to look at Xue Mu and Nangong Xue: "Master Nangong, Master Xue, let's go in."
When Nangong Xue entered, she felt a little strange.
She asked Xue Mu in a low voice: "How did she know your surname was Xue?"
When Xue Mu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said awkwardly: "Maybe Eunuch Cao told them before."
Hearing this, Nangong Xue complained softly: "Then why didn't you call me just now?"
Just like that, the three of them walked into the temple.
Eunuch Cao walked in the front, his head lowered, looking respectful and humble.
He then said diligently: "Mother, my old slave is here with the adults from the Divine Catcher Division."
Nangong Xue raised her head and looked at the woman on the stage.
She turned around, wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, and cried: "It's finally here."
"Mother, are you okay?" Eunuch Cao asked quickly.
"It's okay, I just think of the cat meowing last night, and I feel very scared now." After saying that, Mo Xi'er glanced at Xue Mu, who was standing in the middle, with her peripheral vision.
Maybe women have a very accurate sixth sense.
Just when Mo Xi'er looked at Xue Mu, Nangong Xue also noticed.
Just like that, the two women looked at each other.
Eunuch Cao introduced at this time: "This is Mr. Nangong, and this is Mr. Xue. They are both sent by the Divine Catcher Division."
"It turns out it's the adults of the Divine Catching Division, hurry up and save me." Mo Xi'er said helplessly.
Nangong Xue took a step forward, cupped her hands and said, "Madam, I heard Eunuch Cao say that you heard a cat meow last night. What kind of meow was it?"
"It's just the usual cat meowing, but it sounds very creepy and gives people a creepy feeling." Mo Xi'er said fearfully.
After hearing this, Nangong Xue frowned.
She then asked: "Is the cat meowing loudly? Where is the specific direction?"
Mo Xi'er shook her head: "The sound of the cat's meowing was suddenly louder and softer. I don't know where it came from. It might be from here."
As she said that, she pointed in the direction of the palace entrance, "It might be over there."
Then, he pointed in another direction.
This made Nangong Xue a little confused.
She continued to ask: "Your Majesty, this will cause great trouble for us to solve the case. Please give us some more clues."
"Master Nangong, what you said makes it sound like I am not cooperating?" Mo Xi'er was a little angry: "The cat demon is running rampant in the palace. Those of us who have lived in the palace for a long time are so scared that we can't sleep every day and every night. , Your Excellency asked me to think carefully about what happened last night, but when I think about what happened last night, I get a headache from fear."
"You are deliberately torturing me."
Listening to what Mo Xi'er said, Nangong Xue was obviously speechless.
She was ordered to investigate the matter of the cat demon in the palace, but Mo Xier's tone was thorny, which always sounded a bit unpleasant.
Seeing this, Xue Mu quickly settled the matter: "Master Nangong also wants to catch the mastermind behind this as soon as possible. In fact, we believe that there is no cat demon. Everything is man-made. Please forgive me."
Mo Xi'er listened and nodded: "Yes, Master Xue is right."
Nangong Xue suddenly became angry when she saw her agreeing with Xue Mu.
Only Xue Mu can handle such a noble concubine.
Eunuch Cao saw that the atmosphere on the field was not good, so he quickly said with concern: "My queen must have been frightened last night, so she urgently hopes that the two masters can figure out the whole matter as soon as possible. In essence, we are all here for For the sake of the peace of the harem.”
Xue Mu knew that Eunuch Cao had a way of talking.
No wonder he became the chief steward of the harem.
Humanity and sophistication are absolutely leveraged.
Nangong Xue asked again at this time: "I also hope that the Queen can recall some details, so that we can go to the Queen to analyze the case of this cat demon later."
Seeing that she still looked cold, Mo Xi'er said, "I would like to say more, but Master Nangong is urging me, so I really can't think of anything for a while."
Xue Mu could clearly feel that Nangong Xue beside him was breathing rapidly.
This shows that she is really angry.
And Xue Mu didn't understand why Mo Xi'er deliberately made Nangong Xue angry.
Have these two people met before?
Have a grudge?
Sure enough, after hearing these words, Nangong Xue simply said: "In that case, I will wait outside the palace so as not to disturb the queen's memories."
With that said, she turned around and left.
When Eunuch Cao saw it, something bad had happened.
He first called Nangong Xue: "Master Nangong, please wait a moment."
Then he looked at Mo Xi'er on the stage: "Mother, this."
Mo Xi'er took the opportunity and said, "Let's just do this. Mr. Xue stays, and Eunuch Cao, you go and see Mr. Nangong. I don't have any ill intentions, but she keeps urging me. I really can't figure it out."
"Yes, your Majesty." Eunuch Cao then looked at Xue Mu: "Master Xue, please wait here for a moment. If your Majesty thinks of something, please write it down. Master Nangong and I are waiting outside. .”
"good."
Eunuch Cao hurriedly followed Nangong Xue, shouting: "Master Nangong, please wait a moment, Master Nangong."
The two quickly walked out of the palace.
Xue Mu originally wanted to stop Nangong Xue and the others.
She was afraid that Mo Xi'er would do something outrageous if she stayed alone in the palace.
Sure enough, Mo Xier walked down.
She looked at Xue Mu and asked with interest: "Master Xue, we meet again~"
"Yes, empress." Because Nangong Xue and the others were outside, Xue Mu naturally did not dare to say anything more.
What if the partition wall has ears?
Mo Xi'er took his hand and said, "Come, I'll sit down and talk to you."
Xue Mu was a little nervous.
If Nangong Xue or Eunuch Cao sees this, it will be over.
He quickly explained: "Mother, I can just go by myself."
"Do you know where the chair is?" Mo Xi'er asked.
Only then did Xue Mu react.
Yes.
Mo Xi'er was hinting that she couldn't see.
"I helped you to the chair out of kindness, but you don't appreciate it." Mo Xi'er deliberately snorted: "You, yesterday you called me sister, why did you call me empress today?"
"After all, there are other people here today, and I'm afraid I'll lose my seniority." Xue Mu explained awkwardly.
Mo Xi'er laughed: "Is there anything disrespectful about this? You are younger than me, so it is natural and reasonable to call me sister."
After she helped Xue Mu sit down, Mo Xi'er leaned against him.
This made Xue Mu feel a little restless.
It would be fine if this were normal.
But Eunuch Cao and Nangong Xue were obviously waiting outside. If they came in, wouldn't it be over?
Xue Mu changed the topic: "Mother, what happened last night"
"Don't worry about it last night." Mo Xi'er looked at his face, and then said seriously: "I want to ask you a question first."
"Mother, please tell me."
"In your impression, what kind of woman am I?"
"Yeah" Xue Mu couldn't answer for a while.
Mo Xi'er consoled her, "It's okay, just tell me."
"I feel that the empress should still be a woman with a full personality, who yearns for freedom and likes to be unrestrained."
Naturally, Xue Mu didn't dare to make random comments, so he could only give a decent answer.
However, Mo Xier was very satisfied with this evaluation.
She nodded and said happily: "Yes, it seems that Mr. Xue knows me very well."
"Not really."
Of course he didn't dare to say that he knew the imperial concubine very well.
In this world, the only person who understands the imperial concubine is probably Emperor Qing.
However, Mo Xier was born rebellious.
The more Xue Mu was such a gentleman, the more excited she became.
She directly put her hand on Xue Mu's, and then said: "Then do you know who I was thinking about when the cat's meowing was heard in the bedroom last night?"
"This" Xue Mu didn't know how to answer.
Mo Xi'er looked at him and asked again: "Do you know who I want? Who do you want to protect me?"
"I guess he is the most capable person in the palace." Xue Mu used this sentence, so it did not directly express that he was the emperor, but it also hinted at it.
He hoped to use this sentence to make the empress in front of him feel afraid.
Unexpectedly, Mo Xier said: "I think the most capable person in the palace is you."
"Empress."
Xue Mu felt that he could not stay here for long.
If we keep talking like this.
Sooner or later we have to talk about something going wrong.
When the time comes, I won’t be able to escape even if I jump into the Yellow River.
So he said: "Mother, how about we talk about the cat's meow yesterday and see if you can recall anything?"
"Last night."
"I feel a little restless and haven't been able to sleep."
"Tossing and turning in bed."
"Suddenly, I heard the sound of the palace and a cat meowing."
"At first, I didn't take it seriously."
"Later Xiu'er reminded me that there was a cat demon incident recently, so I became a little worried."
Xue Mu didn't expect that Mo Xi'er would take the initiative to talk about what happened last night.
He also listened carefully.
But just after Mo Xi'er got serious, her hands started to unbuckle her belt.
Xue Mu was startled, and he immediately grabbed it.
"Empress, what are you doing?"
Mo Xi'er said calmly: "Give me a moment to burn the incense. If you cooperate well with this stick of incense, everything will be fine. If you insist on leaving, I will charge you with a major disrespect." !”
Xue Mu was a little helpless. Is this forced buying and selling?
For the sake of his future life, he decided to stop this crooked concubine.
He grabbed Mo Xi'er's hand and said, "Madam, this subordinate doesn't think this is good."
However, at this moment, Mo Xier didn't pay any attention to what Xue Mu said, and still went her own way: "As long as you don't speak, otherwise, it would be disrespectful!"
"Mother, this is impossible."
The next second.
The little hands are full.
Xue Mu suddenly realized Dove’s advertising slogan.
The heart beats as fast as the heart beats, the pleasure is silky smooth, the pleasure is felt anytime and anywhere, and the pleasure of the heart can be enjoyed anytime and anywhere.
The milk has a rich aroma and a silky feel.
Xue Mu sighed inwardly.
[In the end, I became a Cao thief]
Not long after, Mo Xier looked up at Xue Mu and said, "Why don't you say you can't do it now?"
Xue Mu smiled awkwardly, rubbed her little head and said, "Mother, I can't help it."
"snort!"
Mo Xi'er immediately stood up and complained: "You got an advantage and acted like a good boy."
Then, she took out a piece of paper from her arms and said, "I wrote this on paper when the cat meowed last night. You can show it to Nangong Xue later."
"Yes, empress." Xue Mu originally wanted to stand up, but found that he hadn't put on his pants yet, so he quickly tied on his belt.
at the same time.
Nangong Xue mainly stood outside the hall, waiting impatiently.
Eunuch Cao kept comforting: "Master Nangong, this Concubine Wan Guifei was probably frightened, so she didn't recall what happened last night for a while. Please give her more time."
"I know."
Although Nangong Xue didn't like Mo Xi'er very much, she was a noble concubine in the harem after all, so she was naturally frightened when faced with this cat demon incident.
"Why haven't you come out yet? Does it take you so long to ask a question?" Nangong Xue said to herself.
Xue Mu took the piece of paper, confirmed that his clothes were fine, and prepared to leave.
Mo Xi'er said at this time: "Master Xue, we look forward to our next meeting."
"It's your empress." Xue Mu responded awkwardly.
actually.
There was some conflict in his heart.
If we meet next time.
Maybe what happened just now can happen again.
It can even be upgraded.
But this kind of thing often comes with risks.
Once someone finds out, it's over.
Therefore, Xue Mu thought to himself that it would be better not to come to Concubine Wan Gui's palace as much as possible in the future.
But it has to be said.
It just tastes really moist.
"You can't learn from Cao Cao or you will make mistakes. You can't learn from Cao Cao. You can't learn from Cao Cao."
Xue Mu kept chattering and walked out of the hall.
Nangong Xue looked back at him and quickly stepped forward and asked, "Did you ask anything?"
Xue Mu explained: "I just wrote down everything I could remember on paper, and she asked me to give it to you."
Nangong Xue then opened the paper and found that it remembered what happened last night in great detail.
So she said: "This paper records a lot of content. We will go back and study it later."
"good."
Nangong Xue asked one more question: "What were you doing in there for so long just now?"
Xue Mu made a random excuse: "I didn't do anything just now. I have been waiting there, waiting for the imperial concubine to remember something."
"This lady is the same. It's a waste of our time." Nangong Xue couldn't help complaining.
Eunuch Cao also awkwardly changed the subject: "Two adults, let's go to the Empress next. The Empress also wants to know the whole story."
"Okay, then I'll ask my father-in-law to lead the way."
In this way, the three of them left Concubine Wan Gui's palace.
Mo Xier pursed her lips and swallowed the bit on the side.
Then she leaned on the chair and shouted: "Xiu'er."
"Empress."
Xiu'er, who was standing outside the door, immediately walked in.
"Help me go change clothes and take a shower."
"Yes, concubine."
On the way to Cining Palace, Eunuch Cao was leading the way.
Xue Mu and Nangong Xue followed behind.
So Xue Mu also asked Nangong Xue: "Sister Xue'er, what do you think of this cat demon case?"
"What about the cat monster case? Someone must be behind it." Nangong Xue said firmly.
"Why is Sister Xueer so sure?" Xue Mu asked.
Nangong Xue replied: "There are so many people living in this harem, do you think nothing will happen?"
She then added: "And in this harem, except for the eunuchs, almost all are women, and these high walls directly block the rest of their lives. It's no wonder they don't get sick from boredom."
Seeing that she seemed to know something about the harem, Xue Mu recalled the crazy behavior Mo Xi'er had done just now, and asked, "Sister Xue'er, you seem to know something about the harem."
"When I first joined the Shenqi Division three years ago, there was a mercury case in the palace. The reason was that a crazy eunuch injected mercury into the food of the palace ladies and eunuchs, which eventually led to the death of hundreds of people."
"Two years ago, there was a concubine who couldn't stand this kind of life and threw herself into a well. As a result, other talented people and nobles also followed suit. Dozens of people in the harem jumped into the well at one time."
Nangong Xue then explained: "Many women in the harem thought that after entering the palace, they would be appreciated by His Majesty. If they obtained the dragon seed, they could rise to the sky based on the wealth of their children. However, they did not expect that it would be possible until the day of their death. One day, they couldn’t even see His Majesty.”
"The Wan Guifei just now, although she is called a noble concubine, as far as I know, her parents spent a million taels to have her appear on the list of noble concubines."
Xue Mu was a little surprised: "Didn't His Majesty choose this concubine himself?"
"Your Majesty has not been around women in recent years, but the rank of these harem concubines cannot be left empty, so he has the so-called false reputation of spending money to buy concubines." Nangong Xue replied.
After Xue Mu listened, he seemed to understand a bit about a woman with Mo Xier's personality.
Born into a wealthy businessman's family, he had no worries about food or clothing.
What you want is freedom of individuality.
As a result, he was sent to the palace and stayed there for three years.
In this process, perhaps the emperor has not been lucky enough.
No wonder she was so excited when she saw herself in Penglai Hall.
To a certain extent, she even became sick from boredom.
It's no wonder what she did just now.
As if he had never eaten corn before, he kept gnawing at it.
[Alas, he is also a poor man. 】
Xue Mu sighed and shook his head.
Nangong Xue looked at him and asked, "What? Did you shake your head just now because you pity those women in the harem?"
"Maybe." Xue Mu didn't dare to say more.
Nangong Xue wanted to say something, but then she thought of her aunt Nangong Wei, and finally fell silent.
If it hadn't been for that incident, his aunt would not have entered the palace.
Maybe now she can be as unrestrained as herself.
Thinking of this, Nangong Xue also felt a little guilty.
After a while, Eunuch Cao stopped.
He, Xue Mu and Nangong Xue reminded: "Two adults, we will enter Cining Palace later. When talking to the Queen, you must keep your voice down."
"Okay, Eunuch Cao, we remember."
"good."
Eunuch Cao lowered his head, came outside the palace, and said to the maid standing at the door: "The Sa family is here with two adults from the Shenqi Division."
The maid at the door nodded and then knocked on the door.
I saw a voice coming from inside: "Come in."
When Xue Mu heard it, why was the voice so young?
It probably doesn't belong to the queen.
Then Eunuch Cao walked in with Nangong Xue and Xue Mu.
The three of them knelt on the ground and said honorifics.
As the mother of a country, Lan Jiuyun calmly waved her hand and said, "Everyone, get up."
As soon as these words came out.
Xue Mu was sure.
That young voice just now is the queen today.
Wait!
Didn’t it mean that the eldest prince and the second prince were already adults? !
Why does the queen's voice still sound so young? !
Xue Mu immediately opened his sight insight
In fact, I wanted to drive several times, but I was really afraid of being reported, so I could only mention a few words in the previous chapters. I really didn’t mean to make headlines.
Due to problems reported before, this book was not recommended by Qidian. It was basically not recommended, and it was not particularly popular. I didn’t tell everyone about this. After all, everyone came to read the book, not to see me complain.
However, I have discovered these days that poor sales do actually increase subscriptions. There is a book that sells poorly every day, and a single chapter is released every day, and then it becomes a masterpiece.
I won’t sell badly and then never have a good product.
Alas, I also hope that everyone will take a look at those regular titles. The jump in ordering is really too serious.
(End of chapter)
