The reborn businesswoman is the queen

Chapter 317 Jinran has grown up

"What's the problem?" Wei Shi didn't realize it for a moment, stopped his hands and turned around to ask.

Mu Yunge took a step forward and grabbed the wooden stick in his hand, and said quickly and urgently: "Didn't we keep thinking when we came here, how did that girl named Qing'er succeed under our noses? At first , we thought there was something wrong with the pastry, and all our thoughts were on the pastry, but I am afraid that the pastry is used to confuse us. The real problem is Yipinzhai. Think about it carefully, what is Qinger in the shop just now? move?"

"She just stood in front of the counter and never moved." Wei Shi recalled, it seemed that Qing'er never walked away from the beginning to the end.

Mu Yunge said: "That's the problem! She didn't move at all, her body was always blocking the counter, but we didn't see her hands on the counter at all, her hands were always hidden in front of her body."

"You mean, there's something on the counter?" Wei Shi exclaimed immediately.

Mu Yunge nodded, and the two of them ran out immediately before explaining to Mu Jinran.Mu Jinran blinked, with a deep smile on his face, and quickly followed. The three of them returned to Yipinzhai as quickly as possible, and came to the counter. Without saying a word, Mu Yunge and Wei Shi immediately started to follow along. While looking at the counter pretending to check the pastries, while groping around in the invisible corner of the cabinet.

However, the two touched it again, but found nothing.

Looking at each other, Wei Shi and Mu Yunge couldn't help thinking that they were wrong, and they were inevitably disappointed.

Mu Jinran, who was following the two of them, also looked around like the two of them. He was small and short, half a head shorter than the high counter of Yipinzhai, and he had to stand on tiptoe to see Things, so I had to squat my knees a little to check the hidden seam under the cabinet.

Looking at it this way, it really showed him some ways.

Under the high counter, supporting the side of the base of the counter, is a carved peony pattern, but there is a peony flower petal in it, which seems to be active.

Mu Jinran stretched out his hand and tapped it lightly, without even a sound, the hidden compartment opened.

He immediately tugged Wei Shi and Mu Yunge's sleeves: "Sister, brother Wei, look."

"So there is something here." Wei Shi lowered his head and pretended to straighten Mu Jinran's belt. His eyes quickly glanced at the petal. Bian said: "But it was taken away by someone, it should be Qing'er who did it."

"What?" Mu Yunge asked with a calm expression while picking out pastries.

Wei Shi leaned over to look at the Taishi Cake she was looking at, and replied, "It's a rectangular block, I don't know what it is."

Mu Yunge nodded, and then smiled at the clerk, "Pack these up. The snow lotus just now is pretty good, pack a box for me too."

The clerk naturally recognized her, and quickly packaged it up and handed it to her, before personally sending the two gods out.

When he was about to leave the house, Mu Jinran's soft and waxy voice sounded at the right time, completely different from his usual calmness: "Sister, Yipinzhai's pastries are really delicious, no wonder you must come back and bring them to Princess Princess One box. But if I gave it to the sister of the Princess, Jin Ran will be gone, and Jin Ran wants to eat it too!"

"Hey, didn't I buy you something else?" Mu Yunge lit up the box in Liang's hand, and pampered his head.

Mu Jinran's eyes glowed with joy, and he hugged Mu Yunge's hand and drool: "Sister, you are so kind to Jinran!"

The buddy who had been sending a few people out had a sudden realization in his eyes, and he let out a sigh of relief.Just now he saw His Royal Highness Yu Wang and Miss Mu were looking at something intentionally or unintentionally, and thought that Yipinzhai had done something wrong, or that there was something wrong with the pastry, which caused them to go back and forth.It turned out that I was thinking too much, and people came back purely because of the pastries.Speaking of pastries... The clerk looked at Mu Jinran amusedly. He had long heard that the young master of the Mu family was a glutton. It was true. It seemed that the box of snow lotus that Miss Mu brought back must have entered his stomach. In the middle of the day, Ms. Mu made friends with the princess again, so she turned around and came back to buy another box.

The three left hand in hand, completely out of the buddy's sight. Wei Shi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Mu Jinran with eyes full of approval: "I didn't expect that Jinran is really quick-witted. I really thanked him just now."

"Who taught you those words?" Mu Yunge was a little startled by Mu Jinran's transformation.

How long has it been since the innocent and lovely younger brother has been able to perceive the sinister hearts of this world?

Mu Jinran put away the soft voice that he had pretended, and returned to a clear and steady tone, and smiled slyly: "I don't need to be taught, I saw that guy's expression of disbelief, and I felt that I should say something in my heart."

"Well done." Wei Shi really couldn't help but want to praise him.While speaking, he looked at Mu Yunge, and saw that the elder sister's face was calm, and the wisdom flashing in her phoenix eyes was fascinating, and she immediately added a sentence: "As expected of your elder sister's good brother!"

However, no matter how you say it, what exactly is the thing that Qing'er took away is already a mystery.

It was useless to think too much, the two of them also decided not to think too much for now, no matter what Qing'er took away, it was always Concubine De Gui who entrusted her to handle it, and one day, Concubine De Gui would give it to him.

It was getting late at this time, and Wei Shi was still rushing back to the mansion to deal with the matters assigned by Emperor Wu earlier. After sending Mu Yunge and his siblings back to the mansion, he had no choice but to go back first.

In Ningbi Pavilion, Hong Yi had been waiting for quite a long time, seeing Mu Yunge finally came back, she hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Miss, Ji Rufu's matter has not been settled yet, my lord is waiting for your reply!"

"Hasn't he already made a move?" Mu Yunge stretched wearily: "Just let him act according to the original plan, don't ask me. I trust him."

"But in this way, His Royal Highness Yu Wang will be implicated." Hong Yi said hesitantly.

Mu Yunge fell on the bed and looked at the ceiling above her head. The picture of blue water and green lotus was so lifelike that she woke up a little. This involvement will also become a blessing in disguise."

Hong Yi was taken aback, and quickly backed out.

When he got up the next day, it was already the deadline that Emperor Wu had given Qiao Fengqi, Empress Zhao and Wei Quan had all been ordered to die in Huangquan, only Ji Rufu was still imprisoned in the Punishment Department, waiting to be released.When Emperor Wu woke up this day, he felt extremely depressed, and asked Qi Chun beside him: "Qiao Fengqi claims to be the reincarnated Zhuge, so he can't even deal with Ji Rufu? It's been three days, and there is no news at all."

Qi Chun raised his eyes for a moment, and thought to himself, Qiao Fengqi is already very good at getting rid of two in three days, His Majesty is obviously picky, and he just wants to find a reason to silence him.

But of course you can't say this, even if you want to intercede, you have to say it quietly.

Qi Chun bowed his waist and said cautiously: "It's only the third day to get up early, and it's still early before dark, Your Majesty can wait a little longer."

"Hmph." Emperor Wu exhaled heavily from his nose, closed his eyes and held onto the dragon chair, not wanting to move or answer.

For some reason, since Concubine Degui was bedridden, he also felt that something was wrong with his body, and sometimes he couldn't lift up any strength.

He was afraid that Concubine De Gui was overwhelmed by his illness, so he didn't go to Concubine De Gui's palace these few days, and invited Mei Shaoqing to come, but Mei Shaoqing only said that he was a little tired and didn't sleep very well, Just get some rest from this nonsense.

Speaking of being tired, Emperor Wu yawned and felt tired again, so he told Qi Chun: "Help me and go to sleep for a while. The New Year is not early, and there is nothing to do anyway. By the way, if Qiao Fengqi sees you, you Let him hand over the paperwork and make sure not to let him enter the palace. If he insists on entering the palace, let Wang Jian handle it."

As he said that, a venomous look flashed in the depths of Emperor Wu's eyes, with a murderous intent.

Qi Chun knew well that if Qiao Fengqi would not die for a day, His Majesty would not be at ease, so he hurriedly responded and helped Emperor Wu go to the inner hall to sleep for a while.

Not long after Emperor Wu lay down, the Imperial Forest Army sent a message: "Your Majesty, Mr. Pei Yongtu invites you to enter the palace!"

"What is he here for?" Qi Chun frowned and asked in confusion.

Although this Pei Yongtu is the elder brother of Concubine Degui, over the years, Pei Yongtu has rarely invited himself into the palace, except for the necessary attendance tomorrow, he seems to deliberately avoid this imperial city, as far away as he can.This is also one of the reasons why Emperor Wu never thought about what to do with the Pei family even though he was afraid of the Pei family.

Furthermore, although Pei Yongtu is Concubine Degui's elder brother, the siblings have never been close. Concubine Degui is closer to her third brother Pei Yongle. After Pei Yongle's death, the siblings have been separated for many years. Today, Pei Yongtu never visited the palace once.

How can it not be surprising that such a person who is not involved in party disputes and has nothing to do with the concubine's contention suddenly invites him to enter the palace on the cusp of this crisis?

Qi Chun had doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to delay, he took a small step to the inner hall and gently shook Emperor Wu to wake him up, to inform the news of Pei Yongtu's meeting.

Emperor Wu also reacted to Qi Chun, quickly dressed and got up, Xuan Pei Yongtu went to the side hall to wait.

Soon, Emperor Wu tidied up and announced that Pei Yongtu would come to see him in the front hall.

Wearing brocade clothes, Pei Yongtu followed the inner eunuch into the door, kowtowed to pay his respects, and without waiting for Emperor Wu to ask questions, he replied directly: "Your Majesty, I entered the palace today to ask Your Majesty for proof."

"What's the matter, let Ai Qing ask." Emperor Wu also wondered, what could disturb this uncle of the country.

Pei Yongtu raised his eyes, his pupils were as deep as water, and the light shone brightly: "I want to ask Your Majesty, is Ji Rufu currently being imprisoned in the Punishment Department, and the crime he committed is an unforgivable crime?"

"This..." Emperor Wu's complexion changed, and he was already suspicious.How Pei Yongtu found out, he doesn't care for the time being, what he cares about is how many people know about it and what kind of thoughts they hold.

Emperor Wu groaned and remained silent, Pei Yongtu, who knew his temper well, had a bottom line in his heart.He said loudly: "The reason why His Majesty imprisoned Ji Rufu was because of Ji's family accepting bribes for scientific examinations? I want to ask, is there no chance for this matter, and we must use it as a warning to others, so as to achieve deterrence?"

"What do you mean by love?" Emperor Wu's eyelids twitched, and he exchanged colors with Qi Chun beside him.

Granting and accepting imperial examination bribes?Could this be the final answer that Qiao Fengqi gave him when the three days were up?
