After returning to Butterfly Flower City, Mu Yunjin took the lead to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but when she reached the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, there were heavy soldiers guarding the gate.
When the guards saw Mu Yunjin, they stopped her outside.
"Why didn't you let me in?" Mu Yunjin cast a sideways glance at the guard at the door, her tone was cool.
"The Sixth Prince's Concubine is now a member of the Sixth Prince's Mansion, and has nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion. The emperor has ordered that during the confinement period, all members of the Prime Minister's Mansion are not allowed to go out, and no one is allowed to visit." The guard said seriously.
Mu Yunjin took a deep breath, and took out from her sleeve a token that Chu Li gave her before getting off the carriage, "Can I go in now?"
When the guards saw the token, their expressions changed, and they immediately bent over and made a gesture of invitation to Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin entered the prime minister's mansion, and when she walked all the way in, she saw that every corner of the mansion was full of guards, she was a little displeased, and stepped into the front hall.
The front hall was empty at this time.
Mu Yunjin came to the back garden again. In the gazebo in the back garden, she saw Mu Yunhan and Mu Xiang, father and son, who were playing chess.
"Father, brother." Mu Yunjin approached and called out.
When the two of them saw Mu Yunjin, they stopped their movements, and Mu Xiang stood up excitedly, and said in a trembling voice, "Yunjin."
Mu Yunjin hummed, and looked at Mu Yunhan again. Mu Yunhan's expression was calm at this time, but there was nothing unusual about his complexion.
After sitting down, Mu Yunjin said slowly, "What can you do?"
Hearing this, Mu Xiang frowned, "I've been prime minister for so many years, but this time I've stumbled. That old thief Qin Feng has been out of the court for many years, I didn't expect to be so old and cunning."
Seeing that Mu Xiangxiang had no idea, Mu Yunjin looked at Mu Yunhan again, "Brother, what about you?"
Mu Yunhan lowered his eyes, played with the chess pieces in his hand, glanced at Mu Yunjin, smiled, "Yunjin must have an idea."
"Are you so sure?" Seeing that Mu Yunhan's brows and eyes were pale, Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows slightly, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
"Brother believes in you." Mu Yunhan said, looking at Mu Yunjin with deep meaning.
Mu Yunjin smiled, took a sip of water, sat up, put her hands behind her back, and walked away swaggeringly, "Wait for my good news."
Mu Xiang looked at Mu Yunjin's back, was a little stunned, and turned to look at Mu Yunhan, "Yunhan, Yunjin, she..."
"Father, you have raised a pearl as a fish eye for so many years, but do you still remember who her mother is?"
Mu Xiang opened his mouth, subconsciously took a step back, and a look of sadness flashed in his eyes.
Yes, Yun Jin is her daughter, how could her daughter be an ordinary woman...
…
After leaving the prime minister's mansion, Mu Yunjin went directly to the direction of the palace. After successfully stepping into the palace gate, Mu Yunjin met the person she least wanted to see at this time in the imperial garden.
"Mu Yunjin..."
I wanted to pretend that I didn't see him and walk away, but was stopped by Chu Qingqiang, and then I saw Chu Qingqiang retreating all the court ladies and eunuchs behind her, walking slowly towards Mu Yunjin alone.
"Fifth Princess, what's the matter?" Mu Yunjin looked at Chu Qingqiang.
"This princess is looking for you, what else can I do, shouldn't you be clear in your heart?" Chu Qingqiang said, reaching out to touch a strand of Mu Yunjin's hair.
Mu Yunjin patted Chu Qingqiang's hand away impatiently, "I have other things to do, so I don't have time to talk to you."
"Is there something wrong? I just came back from Diehua City and hurried into the palace. Could it be because of the Prime Minister's affairs?" "Don't worry about the Prime Minister's affairs for the time being. This princess has something more important to tell you. "Chu Qingqiang pursed her lips, ignoring Mu Yunjin's painful hand.
Mu Yunjin sneered, met Chu Qingqiang's profound gaze, and lowered her eyes, "Isn't there an agreement between us to keep our duties? I don't want to mention this matter, the fifth princess wants to talk to me about it ?”
Chu Qingqiang was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, and looked at the teasing look on Mu Yunjin's face, but it didn't look like it was fake.
how can that be possible
How could Mu Yunjin be so kind, he had already sent a killer to take her life, how could she keep her promise
What's more, the matter between himself and Rong Min is not trivial.
"Your words, are you serious?" Chu Qingqiang couldn't believe it, and asked again in a low voice.
"I will try my best to keep my duty. Fifth princess, please keep your promise. After all, you are the princess of Xiyuan Kingdom, and you are involved in the affairs of two countries..."
After saying that, Mu Yunjin put away her smile and walked towards the plum garden.
Behind her, Chu Qingqiang glanced back at Mu Yunjin's back, bit her lip, and there was a bit of sarcasm and disdain in her eyes.
He reached out and pulled out the beautiful peony flower that was blooming beside him, tore the petals into several pieces, and sneered, "Only the dead can't speak..."
…
Arriving at the Plum Garden, Mu Yunjin walked towards Concubine Qin's bedroom. Nanny Qu, who was guarding the door, smiled when she saw Mu Yunjin, "The sixth concubine is here."
Mu Yunjin nodded, "Is the empress dowager in the room?"
"The concubine is not in good health recently, she has been recuperating on the bed, this old slave should bring the concubine into the house." Nanny Qu said, and brought Mu Yunjin into Concubine Qin's bedroom.
As soon as she stepped into the dormitory where Concubine Qin lived, there was a smell of herbs.
"Cough cough cough..." Concubine Qin lay on the bed, coughing a few times with difficulty, her face was pale and bloodless.
"Princess Taifei, the sixth concubine is here to visit you." Nanny Qu approached Qin Taifei, helped her up, and patted her on the back lightly.
Concubine Qin complied, looked at Mu Yunjin who was standing in the room, and lay down leaning against her, "You all go out first."
"Yes, Empress Dowager." Nanny Qu walked out with a group of servants.
Only Mu Yunjin and Qin Taifei were left in the dormitory. Qin Taifei looked at Mu Yunjin and pointed to the chair beside her, "Sit down."
"No need." Standing by the bed, Mu Yunjin looked at Concubine Qin who seemed to be really seriously ill, but she didn't feel any pity in her heart.
"You came here because you have something to ask for, right?" Concubine Qin drank her saliva and smiled lightly.
Mu Yunjin nodded, and said playfully, "Yes, the concubine has great powers, so she must be able to guess what Yunjin is asking for."
"The Ai family doesn't like your prickly look very much, it's better to be Jin'er before." Qin Taifei said.
"In the past, Jin'er was only good to those who treated her sincerely. People who were hypocritical, why should they treat her sincerely, empress dowager, do you think so?" Mu Yunjin smiled, and glanced at Mrs. Qin with full eyes. concubine.
Concubine Qin smiled lightly, nodded knowingly, "Yes, what you said is true."
"The Qin family, which you are most worried about, has already done something behind the scenes. My father has been prime minister for so many years. I think the concubine should know clearly whether he is loyal or treacherous."
"Since you wholeheartedly want to help the emperor consolidate the country of Xiyuan Kingdom, please keep your eyes open and don't let treacherous officials run rampant in the court."
"You have to know that my father is loyal to the Xiyuan Kingdom. If he is overthrown by the Qin family this time, then the next Qin family will target Mr. Zhuang. No one can compete with the Qin family."
"At that time, what will be the situation in the court, can the concubine imagine it?"
Mu Yunjin's unkind words made Qin Taifei speechless for a while, coughed a few times for a while, and said slowly, "I really didn't realize at all, you are asking for help!"
"I'm not begging you, I'm just analyzing the situation for you. From the standpoint of the children of the prime minister's family and the current concubine, you and I should be from the same country."
"Therefore, it should be unreasonable for the concubine to watch loyal ministers suffer persecution, let alone let treacherous ministers go at every step!"
"Hahaha..." Concubine Qin burst into laughter suddenly, and pointed at Mu Yunjin tremblingly, "Yunjin, before Aijia, I really misjudged you."
"So now, do you see it clearly?" Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows without any fear at all.
In fact, when she came to find Concubine Qin today, she was quite confident.
"What do you want Ai's family to do?" Concubine Qin paused, then lay back down again, her eyes emptied.
"Let the emperor evacuate the officers and soldiers who surrounded the Prime Minister's Mansion, return the Prime Minister's Mansion justice, and declare the innocence of the Prime Minister's family in the world." Mu Yunjin said.
"Your request is really not low." Qin Taifei said lightly.
Mu Yunjin lowered her eyes and smiled, then changed the topic, with a mocking tone, "Then grandma, can you do it?"
"You go back and wait for the good news from Ai's family." Concubine Qin didn't want to talk to Mu Yunjin anymore, she waved her hand and asked her to leave.
What Mu Yunjin was waiting for was the good news, and after glancing at Concubine Qin, she turned around and strode away.
After Mu Yunjin left, Concubine Qin leaned weakly on the bed, and called out to the door for Nanny Qu.
Nanny Qu walked in immediately, "Madam Taifei..."
"Fu Ai's family get up and make up, Ai's family is going to see the emperor." Concubine Qin stretched out her hand, motioning for Nanny Qu to help her up.
"Ms. Concubine Tai, you have such a bone..." Nanny Qu frowned worriedly, and glanced at Concubine Qin who could barely stand now.
This serious illness is really strange.
"The Ai family is going to discuss some important matters with the emperor, and the Ai family is afraid that if they don't talk about it now, they won't have a chance in the future." Concubine Qin stepped out of the bed and deliberately chose a bright red brocade skirt.
After a while, Concubine Qin was dressed in a beautiful dress and her high bun was combed. She didn't want anyone to help her, and the other held a golden scepter and walked slowly towards Longxiang Hall.
Standing behind the rockery on one side, Mu Yunjin saw Concubine Qin walking towards Longxiang Palace in such a grand manner, her eyes sparkled, she turned and left.
…
At night, Mu Yunjin was sitting in the courtyard of Liquan Pavilion, with the night breeze blowing, half admiring the full moon, propping her head up in front of the stone table, tapping the table lightly with her fingers.
"Miss, miss..." Zixiang hurried in from the outside, and shouted happily, "The emperor has canceled the confinement of everyone in the prime minister's residence!"
Mu Yunjin nodded with no emotion in her eyes, "Is there anything else besides canceling the confinement?"
"The emperor specially apologized to the Prime Minister, and also rewarded many treasures, saying that this incident was all a misunderstanding."
"By the way, Old General Qin was also fined three months' salary!"
When Mu Yunjin heard this, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, thinking of looking at Concubine Qin's lonely figure during the day, she always had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
