Mu Yunjin shrugged her shoulders and spread her hands, "Then please trouble the Lord City Master to check it out."
Qu Xinyao laughed and took a sip of tea.
After the three of them were seated, Qu Xinyao had already heard Chu Li mention Qiu Ye's begging for rain in Qingzhou and causing floods on the way here, so she sneered, "This old man Qiu Ye has always been despicable and shameless. Not surprising."
"And that Qin Muyue, who somehow got mixed up with the title of a female general, and secretly is no different from her master, thicker than that city wall!"
After hearing Qu Xinyao's long series of complaints, Mu Yunjin really realized that Qu Xinyao really hated Qiuye.
"Qiu Ye's begging for rain was broken by Concubine Ning. According to this old man's temperament, he will definitely come up with a trick to deal with it. Maybe he will pour dirty water on you instead." Qu Xinyao said.
Mu Yunjin looked at Qu Xinyao, propped her chin, "Then what should I do?"
"How to do it?" Qu Xinyao raised her eyebrows, and a charming smile appeared on her lips, "Let's pre-emptively report the matter of autumn leaves asking for rain to the royal family."
"I'll write the memorial myself, and I'll see if Emperor Ximing will sell my face!" Qu Xinyao sneered.
Mu Yunjin looked at Qu Xinyao in surprise, and reported Qiu Ye to the royal family, which was something she had never thought about before.
After thinking about it for a while, Mu Yunjin felt that Qu Xinyao's idea was really wonderful. This not only exposed Qiu Ye's trick, but also directly shattered the auspicious omen brought by Qin Muyue's phoenix girl.
It is estimated that the two of them will vomit blood with anger!
"By the way, His Highness King Ning..." Qu Xinyao turned her gaze to Chu Li who had been silent all this time.
Chu Li glanced at Qu Xinyao.
"I'm here to solve Qiuye's matter for Princess Ning, and you have to return my favor." Qu Xinyao raised her eyebrows and smiled.
Hearing this, Chu Li said quietly, "Xu Heyu is on his way."
"Okay, His Highness Prince Ning is really a sensible person." Qu Xinyao fiddled with the plum blossom hairpin on her bun, got up and walked outside.
Mu Yunjin looked at Qu Xinyao's back, and approached Chu Li gossipingly, "What's going on between her and Xu Heyu?"
"Many things." Chu Li tapped her on the head lightly.
Mu Yunjin snorted.
…
At this time, Chu Ye was playing chess with Emperor Ximing in the Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace.
Eunuch Lu walked into the imperial study room, holding a letter in his hand, walked up to Emperor Ximing, bent down and presented the letter, "Your Majesty, a note written by Lord Qu of Xinyao City."
Hearing that it was Qu Xinyao, Emperor Xi Ming's eyes lit up, he immediately dropped the chess piece in his hand, took the letter, and unfolded it to read.
Chu Ye watched this scene silently.
Emperor Ximing is almost sixty years old now, and he has been in charge of the Xiyuan Kingdom for thirty-five years. During that time, he has seen all kinds of women, but he is the only one who never forgets Qu Xinyao, who can see but cannot eat.
These years, he gave Qu Xinyao the control of Xinyao City. Originally, he wanted to keep her under his nose, but seeing that she managed the city in an orderly manner, his feelings for Qu Xinyao gradually changed into another kind. emotion.
Qu Xinyao seldom writes to him, and every time she writes, it must be something extremely important, so he will never neglect her letters.
At this time, Emperor Ximing looked at the contents of Qu Xinyao's letter, and the originally calm face gradually became turbulent, and the hand holding the letter trembled slightly.
Immediately afterwards, he found a piece of yellow talisman paper from the envelope just now.
"Okay, what a Qiuye mountain, what a Qiuye Taoist, dare to make small moves on my territory!" Emperor Ximing was furious, and slapped his palm on the chessboard, and immediately the white and black pieces flew around.
Chu Ye looked at this scene and frowned, "Father, what's going on?"
Emperor Ximing waved his hand and shouted to Eunuch Lu, "Go and tell Taoist Qiuye to come into the palace. If you dare not follow, immediately order someone to lead an army to flatten his Qiuye Mountain."
Eunuch Lu immediately nodded his head in understanding, and ran out like oiling his feet.
After seeing Eunuch Lu walk out, Emperor Ximing still felt angry, raised his hand and smashed a teacup beside him, and said sullenly, "I have indeed heard a lot of rumors about Qin Muyue's phoenix fairy recently, and I sigh in my heart Things, but they are all fraudulent, they cannot be taken seriously, now it seems that my intuition is correct."
Hearing this, Chu Ye bravely picked up the rare paper that Emperor Ximing placed on the table, and after a quick glance, said a little helplessly, "I never thought there would be such absurd things in the world. , do you know?"
"She is Qiuye's apprentice, how could she not know about this! Thanks to the fact that I admire her so much, I never thought she would do something that disappoints me so much!"
When Emperor Ximing mentioned Qin Muyue, he thought it was not enough just to criticize him, so he called another eunuch, "pass down the decree, revoke Qin Muyue's title of deputy general immediately, and think about it in front of the general's mansion from now on. With my permission, you are not allowed to step out of the general's mansion."
Seeing that Emperor Ximing was furious, Chu Ye smiled again, and said deeply in his eyes, "Father, you have decided everything just based on Qu Xinyao's one-sided words?"
"Of course, I know Xinyao, she is definitely not a person who makes trouble out of nothing."
Princess Rong, Qin Shuning, was supporting Empress Dowager Zheng as she walked in the imperial garden. There was also a secret letter hidden in her sleeve, which was written to her by Qin Muyue.
In the letter, Qin Muyue told her that the Qingzhou flood was originally managed smoothly, but it was Mu Yunjin who followed secretly, adding chaos during the period, which caused the progress of the flood control to stagnate, so many innocent people were sacrificed. Emperor Ximing came forward to punish and warn him.
"Shuning, where are you going this way? Further on is the Imperial Study Room." Empress Dowager Zheng looked at Princess Rong leading her all the way forward, and asked in surprise.
Princess Rong paused when she heard this, and put on a smile, "Yes, if the queen mother doesn't mention it, Shu Ning almost forgot that the imperial study is in front of her."
"Since we are about to arrive at the imperial study room, why don't we go to pay respects to the emperor? Now that Concubine Qin is dead, although no one is in the way of the queen mother, the queen mother should cultivate the mother-child relationship with the emperor." Princess Rong said with a smile. .
After hearing the words, Queen Mother Zheng felt reasonable and nodded, "Then let's go to the Imperial Study Room to have a look."
"Okay." Princess Rong walked away contentedly.
After walking a few steps, he saw Eunuch Lu, the supervisor next to Emperor Ximing, hurrying out, followed by a group of imperial guards, and Princess Rong stopped Eunuch Lu.
"Eunuch Lu, where are you going in such a hurry?" Princess Rong asked.
Eunuch Lu bowed down and bowed to Empress Dowager Zheng and Princess Rong, "The Taoist Qiuye of Qiuye Mountain did something that angered the emperor, and the emperor ordered people to invite Taoist Qiuye into the palace."
"Taoist Qiuye? What's the matter?" Concubine Rong was taken aback, and then added, "Taoist Qiuye is a man of the world, how could he anger the emperor?"
"The lord of Qu City of Shenyao City wrote a report, saying that Taoist Qiuye cast spells to pray for rain in Qingzhou, which caused the flood in Qingzhou. Now the emperor is furious and ordered Taoist Qiuye to enter the palace immediately."
"The slave still has to be ordered to deliver the decree, so I will leave first." Eunuch Lu said, saluted again, and then walked away quickly.
Princess Rong stood where she was, biting her lips tightly. The letter in her sleeve was still warm, and someone took her a step ahead. If she took the letter over now, Emperor Ximing would definitely feel that she was telling stories.
"How could Taoist Qiuye do such a foolish thing!" Empress Dowager Zheng was puzzled, sighed, and was about to go to the imperial study.
"Oh—" Seeing that Queen Mother Zheng was about to move forward, Princess Rong staggered suddenly and covered her temples, "Queen Mother, Shu Ning suddenly feels unwell, why don't you visit the Emperor some other day."
"Are you not feeling well? Then go back and rest quickly, your body has not recovered." Queen Mother Zheng glanced at Princess Rong.
Princess Rong nodded, and with the support of a maidservant, she turned around and walked out.
…
On the streets of Xinyao City, Mu Yunjin rested in the Qing Mansion for two days and recovered her energy. At this time, she was walking alone on the street.
Chu Li did not know where she went early in the morning, and even Ding Xian disappeared, and now behind Mu Yunjin, only Song Chun, who never left her footsteps, followed her.
Mu Yunjin walked in the center of the street, and after passing under the original Huayue Building, she paused, watching a few workers there, burying their heads in rebuilding the house.
Seeing that Mu Yunjin was looking at Huayue Tower, the small vendor who set up a stall at the door couldn't help but add, "Girl, this was originally a brothel. One day, it accidentally went into the water and burned it up overnight, and now it's being bought again." It was settled down and ready to be built into a shop."
Mu Yunjin nodded knowingly upon hearing this.
After wandering around for a while, when Mu Yunjin passed a silk shop, she caught a glimpse of the colors inside from the corner of her eye, her eyes lit up, and she walked in.
Seeing Mu Yunjin walk into the door, the proprietress of the silk shop looked her up and down, and saw that although she was dressed in simple and elegant clothes, she was like everyone's best friend in every gesture, so she greeted her with a smile.
"Girl, some high-quality snow brocades and silk brocades are on the market today, do you want to have a look?" The proprietress said, and handed two pieces of cloth to Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin was indeed attracted by the patterns and colors of the silk and satin here. Looking at the two pieces of cloth that the proprietress put in front of her eyes at this time, she couldn't help but reach out and caress them, feeling a little liking in her heart.
"My place is the largest silk and satin shop in Xinyao City. It's the first time for a girl to come here. You can take a look. There will definitely be designs and colors you like." The proprietress pointed to the silk and satin around her.
Mu Yunjin nodded and smiled at the proprietress.
At this time, another blue figure walked in outside the door. After seeing the figure, the proprietress immediately walked over, with a smile on her face, "Oh, Miss Qing is here, long time no see. New brocade."
"How is it? Where have you been traveling around during this time?" came the enthusiastic voice of the proprietress.
Mu Yunjin was lying at the table to choose silks and satins. When she heard the words "Miss Qing", she was slightly taken aback, and looked behind her curiously.
At this time, the blue figure was also walking behind Mu Yunjin. When Mu Yunjin turned around suddenly, the two happened to meet each other, their eyes met, and there was a different meaning in the air.
