Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 388 Peach Blossom Debt

Yan Mu kept his eyes on the book in his hand, and tilted his head to the other side.

"Nothing to say."

Liu Yunxiang narrowed his eyes, "Is there something you are hiding from me?"

"No."

Liu Yunxiang put his hips on his hips and said angrily, "Yan Mu, I'll give you another chance, what did you guys say!"

Seeing Liu Yunxiang's look of not giving up when he couldn't ask, Yan Mu reluctantly put down the book in his hand, and pulled her to sit next to him.

"First of all, to be clear, I didn't promise her."

"Say!"

Yan Mu sighed slightly, "Changning's father lost the battle due to a command error and lost the military power in Xizhou. They??? The palace is not as good as before. Han Lin asked the emperor to marry Changning to Han Zhao, The emperor said to think about it, but she reckoned she would agree, so she came to beg me."

"Please?" Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Can you help her get divorced? Are you kidding me?"

Yan Mu shook his head, "She begged me to enter the palace and beg the emperor to marry her, and promise her to me."

"What?" Liu Yunxiang sat up suddenly, "She clearly knows that you already have me, how could she make such an exaggerated request!"

"I refused!" Yan Mu pulled Liu Yunxiang to sit down again, "And show her that I'm married to you, and I only love you."

Liu Yunxiang's expression softened a lot at these words.

"Then what did Changning say?"

"She said that if she were to marry Han Zhao, she might as well die."

"Heh, whether she dies or not is none of our business."

"On the way back to Beijing from Yuzhou this time, we encountered several waves of interceptions, and she saved me."

Liu Yunxiang pursed his lips, "That won't work either."

Yan Mu nodded, "I said, if you threaten me, kill me."

Liu Yunxiang snorted, "Your life is hers!"

Yan Mu laughed, "Why are you jealous? I just rejected her with these words."

Liu Yunxiang thought, no wonder Chang Ning stopped talking as soon as she came back, and went out with a very unsightly expression.

"That bastard Han Zhao, whoever marries him will be unlucky. Thinking about it this way, Chang Ning is really pitiful. But it's pitiful. We can try our best to help her, but we can't marry her." After Liu Yunxiang finished speaking, he thought again , "Hey, that's not right, even if you really go to the palace to ask for marriage, the emperor probably won't agree."

Yan Mu shook his head: "Maybe not in the past, the emperor had to turn his elbows inward, but now he doesn't trust Han Lin so much, marry Changning to me, make an alliance with Zhenbei, and then take the opportunity to beat the Han family, So the emperor is very likely to agree."

When Liu Yunxiang thought about it, it was true that the originally stable court situation and the solid relationship between the monarch and his ministers, Yan Mu forcibly tore a gap, and the gap would become bigger and bigger. In the end, the North Jin court was in turmoil, and several forces weakened each other, and Yan Mu watched from the sidelines, just waiting for an opportunity to escape from this cage.

"One more thing." Yan Mu put down the book in his hand, turned his head and looked out the window, "I'm going to teach martial arts tomorrow."

Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but tremble.

"The will of the palace?"

"Ah."

Those who can enter the academic affairs hall are all the children of officials and eunuchs, relying on their martial arts skills and having a family as a backer, they do some stupid things.In particular, Han Zhao is also a member of the Martial Arts Academy, so he will definitely use some indecent means to harm Yan Mu.

Liu Yunxiang didn't say anything at the moment, but when he came out of the study, the more he thought about it, the more worried he became, so he went back to the South Red Building and brought a bolt of soft cotton cloth to the Yingwang Mansion.

The Yuzhou case has been closed. As they expected, Han Lin was very cautious and did not leave enough evidence to prove that he and Xie Shengmao had a connection, so Xie Shengmao was responsible for all the crimes.

And Xie Shengmao was dead, so he couldn't argue for himself.

King Ying came back from Yuzhou half a month ago. The case has been investigated for two months, which shows that it involves a lot.After he handed over the case to Dali Temple, he had to stare at them to handle it and supplement the evidence. After returning to Beijing like this for half a month, he never returned to the palace.

This is what she heard from Murong Zhixi. At this time, her stomach is already eight months old, the bulge is very high, and she will give birth in half a month.

Liu Yunxiang couldn't look directly at her stomach, after all, she already knew that the child in Murong Zhixi's stomach was not His Royal Highness's.

"It was the same when I was in Nanzhou with His Royal Highness. He was often in the military camp, and it was not uncommon for him not to go home for a month or two." I'm going to give birth, I hope he can handle his official duties well and stay with me at home."

When she said this, Murong Zhixi smiled with a happy face, which made Liu Yunxiang very confused, what kind of relationship was between her and King Ying.

Could it be that the King of England felt that he was not good enough, so he could tolerate his princess being pregnant with other people's children?

He doesn't want to be so generous!
"By the way, I'll bring you a piece of soft cotton cloth, it's most suitable for making small clothes for children." Liu Yunxiang put the cloth on the table and showed it to Murong Zhixi.

When Murong Zhixi touched it with his hands, it was soft and warm, a rare good fabric.

"Yunxiang, thank you for thinking of me." Murong Zhixi held Liu Yunxiang's hand, "But my mother sent me a lot of small clothes, some of which she sewed by herself."

As Murong Zhixi said, she called the maidservant, "Bring over the bundle of clothes Madam brought the day before yesterday."

Soon the maid came over with a big bundle and spread it out. There were a lot of small clothes in it, folded very neatly, and they could be worn until they were two years old.

Liu Yunxiang picked up one and looked at it. It was made of pure cotton, with fine workmanship and embroidery on it. It can be seen that he really put a lot of thought into it, and there are so many pieces at once.

"Madam Chief Assistant treats you very well these days, right?"

Murong Zhixi nodded, "I come to see me from time to time, and I have brought a lot of supplements, and there are many for the unborn child. I know what's going on, it must be her father who asked her to come, so as to maintain the relationship between the capital and the British government. The relationship with the palace. But I don't mind, why bother to distinguish between the real and the fake, she treats me well, so I just think of her kindness."

Seeing Murong Zhixi's reassuring look, Liu Yunxiang didn't want to always say something wrong with her mother, although she felt that the truth must be clearly discerned, and people's hearts must be clearly seen, otherwise she would be the one who would suffer and be fooled.

Murong Zhixi liked these little clothes very much, and picked them up and stroked them one by one, "I don't know if it's a brother or a sister, but the child is small, so it looks good in anything."

Liu Yunxiang saw that the cuffs of the one in Murong Zhixi's hand seemed to be a little dirty. She took a closer look and found that there were indeed yellow spots. After looking through the others, many of them had traces that could not be washed off, "Uh, these clothes seem to be old clothes. .”

Murong Zhixi was taken aback, "How could that be!"

Liu Yunxiang opened the cuffs and showed her, "It's all pilled inside, which means it's been worn, and these yellow spots mean it's been washed, many times."

Murong Zhixi took a closer look, it was not like this, she frowned immediately, "She won't give me the leftover clothes of the eldest sister's children!"

Even if she asked someone else to do it, she didn't do it, and she shouldn't use the old clothes to say that she made it herself. It was in vain that she was still moved for a long time.
