The leader of the San family led a mission to Shangjing in a mighty manner and paid tribute to the emperor of the new dynasty. The envoys from Changsha were also accompanied by the San family.

The emperor held a grand reception ceremony for the missions of the Sanshi and Changsha Kingdom, and each gave rewards. Among them, Yuan Handing's reward was particularly eye-catching.

He was named General Zhennan, a first-class Duke, and enjoyed his fiefdom and his title was hereditary. Not only that, a few days later, on the eve of the mission members ended their worship and left Shangjing, an eunuch went to the inn and Xuan Yuan Handing entered the palace.

On the eve of his departure, the emperor was so kind. Yuan Handing left the inn with countless envious eyes around him and followed the eunuch into the palace. He walked among the overlapping halls shrouded in the night, walked through a quiet courtyard, followed the guidance of the palace lanterns, and finally came to a building at the end of the courtyard.

The eunuch stopped and said respectfully: "Please go in and wait."

Yuan Handing looked forward and saw a plaque hanging in the center of the hall gate, with the words "Qingxin Pavilion" written on it.

He nodded and walked in.

The lights in the hall were bright, the painted buildings were red curtains, and a few calligraphy and paintings were hung on the south wall. The night wind slowly poured in through the half-open pane, bringing a refreshing fragrance of flowers and trees. The surroundings were exquisite and elegant, not the imperial study he had thought before. It seemed that this place was very consistent with the inscription on the plaque outside the door, and it was more like a private pavilion where friends gathered.

Yuan Handing held his breath and stood in the middle of the hall. He waited quietly for a long time, but he never saw the emperor coming. He gradually felt doubts in his heart.

He returned to the door, looked outside, and found that the eunuch who brought him here just now was gone, and he had left at some point. The night was dark, and there was no one around him.

Yuan Handing hesitated for a moment, and was about to call someone, but suddenly heard a burst of quick footsteps coming from the corridor he had just walked through.

He looked up and saw a shadow, as if a woman was walking towards this side with her close-fitting palace maid. The palace maid held a palace lantern in her hand, which gradually approached and illuminated the figure.

Yuan Handing finally recognized that the palace maid was Dan Zhu, and the woman who was walking here was Mu Fulan.

This was the first time the two met after she left Changsha that day.

He was very surprised. Unexpectedly, she came here after not waiting for the emperor. When she thought about it, she suddenly realized.

The eunuch never said that he had summoned him when he came to the inn and said the first sentence. He just took it for granted.

It turned out that it was not the emperor who saw him, but the palace she summoned herself to.

Although he was a little surprised, he was still very happy to meet her before leaving Shangjing.

He immediately stepped out of the threshold and greeted the woman who was walking here. He knelt on the corridor and kowtowed to greet him.

When Mu Fulan saw him, a look of surprise flashed through her eyes, and she was stunned for a moment, but soon, a smile appeared on her face and she stepped forward to call him up.

She entered the hall. Yuan Handing followed her and stopped at the entrance of the hall, saying respectfully: "This time I entered the capital, not only was I favored by His Majesty the Emperor, but I was awarded an extraordinary reward, but I also met the prince during the day. The prince was very courteous to me and turned to me the queen's greetings and expectations to me."

Mu Fulan smiled and said, "I should respect you as my disciple. The prince used to teach you how to archery and shoot martial arts. It was his duty to respect you. Brother, please be in front of me, don't be polite."

Yuan Handing slowly relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.

"I have benefited a lot from entering the capital this time. Before leaving, I will be summoned by the queen and express my gratitude to the queen in person. The queen is uneasy. After I return, I will be more loyal to me and live up to heaven. The queen specially summoned me here. If there is anything else, I will give me instructions and go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Mu Fulan smiled and said, "I have nothing else to do. Although Xier, during the day, conveyed my greetings to you, Brother, I thought that you will leave tomorrow, and I happened to have nothing to do at night, so I asked my brother to say goodbye. Because it is inconvenient for me to leave the palace, I invited my brother here. I hope my brother will have a smooth journey on the road and return home as soon as possible."

Yuan Handing thought that she had something to secretly summoned her here or asked for help from her, so she just wanted to say goodbye to herself and thank her again.

Mu Fulan came up, helped him up in person, and chatted with him about the affairs of Changsha.

Yuan Handing knew that her current identity was very different from when she was the regent in Changsha. He knew that she was not suitable for her to stay here for a long time. After talking for a while, he left.

Mu Fulan didn't keep him, and sent him out of the temple, saying, "I have prepared some things for Mu's mother and Aru. Brother, please take it back and ask Mu's mother to take care of Aru well. I have time and go back to see them."

Yuan Handing agreed one by one. Mu Fulan stopped on the steps outside the palace gate, and when his figure gradually disappeared at the end of the palace road, the smile on his face disappeared.

She turned her face and looked at the dark night sky where Yuanchen Palace was. She stared for a moment, without saying a word, and immediately stepped towards Yuanchen Palace.

It was too late, but the lights in the imperial study were still bright as daytime. Xie Changgeng sat behind the desk, lowered his head to read the memorial. The palace room was silent, serving the palace servants in the corner, and the sound of the screen was calm, so quiet that even the sound of the pen brushing the paper in the emperor's hand seemed to be heard.

The eunuch Cao Jin entered and hinted the palace servants with his eyes. When the only ones he and the emperor were left in the palace, he walked closer, bowed and whispered: "Your Majesty, I have arranged it, and the queen has passed."

"The matter is secret tonight, and no irrelevant people know about it." Cao Jin added carefully.

Xie Changgeng's eyes still fell on the spreading note in front of him, without saying a word.

His face was cold and as if he hadn't heard it. After reading a note, he closed it and raised his hand to pick up another note stacked on the desk. When his fingertips touched the note, his hand suddenly stopped and his face turned pale. After a moment, he seemed to be unable to help it and coughed out suddenly.

The imperial physician once said that His Majesty the Emperor injured his lungs that day, but now although the external injuries have been cured, the internal internal needs to be adjusted slowly. If the qi and blood are not smooth in daily life, it will cause internal cough, which cannot be ignored.

Cao Jin came up and rubbed the emperor's back. Seeing that he was so coughing that he could not help himself, he looked painful, and suddenly lowered his head. When he slowly stood up, a cluster of red blood appeared on the note in front of him, which was shocking.

The eunuch was shocked and reacted, and asked to call someone to call the imperial physician, but was stopped.

The emperor closed the book, closed his eyes, and said, "It's the same when the imperial physician comes. I know my injuries myself. You go and bring the medicine to me."

Cao Jinhong looked at him. He knew the emperor's temper and said the same thing, so he had to retreat.

He retreated to the door of the imperial study room, turned around, and opened the door and was startled to step out of the threshold.

Outside the door, there was a beautiful woman with a faint face.

"Queen!" The eunuch reacted, hurriedly retreated aside, and greeted her.

Mu Fulan lifted up her skirt, stepped into the imperial study room in one step, and said, "Go out!"

The eunuch quickly turned around. Through the layers of curtains, he saw that the emperor was still looking down at another memorial, as if nothing had happened. He did not pay attention to the movement at the door. He hesitated and said carefully: "The queen suddenly came here..."

"Get out!" Mu Fulan said coldly, then stepped forward.

The queen is gentle and virtuous, and she is tolerant in her subordinates. She is like this before.

The eunuch dared not speak anymore, lowered his head and walked out loud, and brought it to the door.

Mu Fulan went straight in, came to the imperial front, stared at the man opposite him, whispered in a low voice, and said word by word: "Xie Changgeng, what are your intentions tonight?"

She waited for a while, and saw that the man was still sitting upright, lowering his eyebrows and eyes, and the hand holding the pen was still writing. Her words seemed to have never been heard at all, and she could no longer suppress the churn anger in her heart. She stepped forward and took the letter he was approving.

His wrist trembled slightly. The tip of his pen stroked diagonally, dragging a long ink mark on the page.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, dare you ask if you want to test loyalty and treacherous, or to capture traitors?"

She threw the memorial of the minister who was unknown and said sneered.

Xie Changgeng slowly put the red pen in his hand on the mountain of Bi, raised his eyes, looked at her, and his lips moved, as if he wanted to speak, but he couldn't speak.

Mu Fulan's mind flashed through the scenes that happened tonight: Cao Jin came to pass the message and asked her to go to Qingxin Pavilion, saying that the emperor summoned her to him. She didn't understand why, but she still went.

She never expected that the person she saw there was Yuan Handing.

What made her even more angry was that Yuan Handing was obviously also in the dark, thinking that the person who privately summoned him into the palace was him.

She hadn't been as angry as tonight for a long time, and she clenched her fists tightly on the way and couldn't help but tremble.

Seeing him like this, she didn't want to hear anything he said anymore. She said again: "Your Majesty, I always thought you were a wise person, but now I have to doubt that such a ridiculous and stupid act is to humiliate me and Brother Yuan, and also humiliate yourself, Your Majesty, the Emperor."

"I hope you won't have a second time!"

After she said that, she turned around and was about to open the door and leave, a faint voice came from behind.

"I thought you and him should have something to say..."

She paused and turned her face.

He was still sitting upright, looking at her with a pale face, but his expression seemed much calmer than before, and his voice was very calm.

"Do you remember what I said to you in the past? I will not interfere with everything about you."

He said. It seemed that the scene of her eyes filled with joy when she heard the name Yuan Handing that night.

"Yuan Handing came from afar this time. I think you should want to see him, or to avoid suspicion, you have never met him. If you just let him go like this, it would be a pity that you will see you next time."

He paused.

"You came to Beijing not because of your original intention. Whether you believe it or not, I really hope that you can live as much as possible here as possible, so I made such an arrangement. If you offend it, it is also my inadequate consideration. I hope you forgive me."

Mu Fulan was stunned.

She looked at the person in front of her.

He was clearly Xie Changgeng, the man who could not get rid of her for two lives and was as familiar as her other half of her body. But at this moment, or at some point, he seemed to have changed, not like the person she knew.

This feeling has actually climbed into her heart for a long time, but it has always been there and has never been as clear as it is tonight now.

The anger in her heart gradually dissipated, and replaced by another kind of confusion and confusion that even she herself could not speak of.

She looked at the man, was silent for a moment, and slowly said, "Xie Changgeng, I am grateful for your consideration for me so thoughtfully, but you really don't know at all that I, Mu Fulan."

"I tell you, if I think about it one day, I don't need your arrangements, I know what to do!"
