She must have thought too much, Cheng Muqing twitched her lips when she saw the slender white hand stretched out towards her.

"What's wrong? Ma'am?" Li Banxi called her.

"It's okay." Cheng Muqing pouted.

"It's true if you think about it, and your mother doesn't believe in poverty." Li Banxi put her hands on her hips and turned back, "The prayer for rain is over, you two should leave."

Unexpectedly, Qi Yu could pray so quickly, the two looked at each other, and then left.

Under the support of the guards, the two walked out of the bamboo forest and walked down the mountain along the lush green trees on both sides.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Chonghua Mountain has rebuilt the road." Li Lanyi stood aside and said with a smile, "You can watch the sunset from the peak not far away, do you want to go and have a look?"

"Eunuch Li." Cheng Muqing said bluntly, "What do you want to do?"

"Heh~" Li Lanyi just smiled, "What do you want to do? It's just that your majesty and empress are worrying about the affairs of the Great Jin Dynasty every day. I really can't bear it. So I mentioned such a place so that your majesty and empress can Relax."

"No, go back to the palace." Cheng Muqing didn't show any face at all.

Faced with her attitude, Li Lan's smile did not weaken at all.He was still smiling, looking a bit like a spring breeze.

His indifferent attitude made Cheng Muqing suspicious.

If he didn't go to that mountain peak, did he follow his will instead?Cheng Muqing couldn't help thinking, she glanced at the guards around her.

These guards are all Cheng Jiajun under her command.

"Then go and see the sunset..." Cheng Muqing looked up at Lin Heng, "Your Majesty, is it okay?"

"Naturally." Lin Heng would never refuse her request.

The two turned back, walked through the rebuilt winding path, and climbed to the top of the mountain.

The top of the mountain is slightly steep, and there are several large rocks protruding from the flat ground, which are high and low.There are green onion trees growing in the gaps, branching on the mountainside.

The two stood still, looking around, white clouds and mist were lingering in the cloud peak.

There are one or two black and white birds that can't tell what they are flying among them.The clear and crisp chirping of birds echoed hollowly, endlessly.

"That's not bad." Cheng Muqing's eyes lit up.

"I like it, come here often." Lin Heng didn't feel anything in front of him, and even felt that it was too high and a little dangerous.But since she likes it, then he likes it too.

"Okay." Cheng Muqing smiled.

As soon as Li Lan found a clean place, he spread a veil and said in a sharp voice, "Your Majesty, empress, sit down."

After looking up and down, and making sure it was correct, Cheng Muqing dragged Lin Heng over to sit down.

"You all go down." Lin Heng waved his hand.

"But..." Cui Huwei hesitated to speak.

This high mountain is dangerous, if they are in danger, what will they do if they don't have time to protect it?

"No problem." Lin Heng said, "Wait until sunset, and come to find me again."

"Ah." Cheng Muqing grabbed his sleeve and said to the rough guard and the others, "You stand three feet away and wait."

"Yes." Cui Huwei clasped his fists.

Everyone followed suit and stood guard not far away.Their eyes were very regular, and they didn't look at the two of them.

"Qingqing, you have a deep hostility towards Li Lanyi." Lin Heng leaned against the mountain, his voice soft, "He has helped me with my official duties for more than half a year. I don't think he is a bad person."

Li Lanyi didn't do anything that touched him, he just kept a straight line, doing his own job.But because of this, he also became more and more satisfied with him.

"Li Lan knows how to speak, winks, and defends you from the officer's attack." Cheng Muqing sighed, "But his identity is not simple."

"It's more simple..." Lin Heng enlightened him.

It seems that after experiencing disputes in the court, being advised by officials every day, and being scolded openly and secretly, his temperament is more open-minded than before.

"Oh." Cheng Muqing just responded dully, without expressing his opinion.

Lin Heng stopped talking, put his arms around her shoulders, and let him lean on her.

The wind is warm and the sun is warm, the sky is clear, and the air in the mountains is as cool as mint.

"Wow—"

"Who!" Cheng Muqing was the first to react, and pulled Lin Heng up.

And Lin Heng reacted faster than her, protecting her behind her, looking vigilantly at the direction from which the voice came.

The trees on that side trembled slightly, revealing a figure.

"There are assassins!" It was Li Lanyi who said this.Without any hesitation, he raised his hem and rushed forward with the guards.

"Not an assassin!" The man's voice was thick and thunderous.

This voice sounds like a Lianjiazi.Cheng Muqing frowned slightly, feeling a little hesitant in his heart, and this voice...why does it sound familiar?

"My lord, Zhao Duofu, see Your Majesty, Your Majesty." The man walked out completely from the operation, cupped his hands, and knelt on the ground.

"General Zhao?" Cheng Muqing was startled.

Back then when the news of Lin Yan's death came, Zhao Duofu was imprisoned as a spy, why did he appear here now?What does he want to do?
"Your Majesty." Zhao Duofu raised his head and looked at her deeply, "Please Your Majesty, Your Majesty will thoroughly investigate the assassination of the Crown Prince! So that His Highness the Crown Prince can sleep peacefully under the Nine Springs!"

"Prince? There is only the Empress Dowager in Dajin now." Li Lan sneered.

He is so hostile to Zhao Duofu?Cheng Muqing rolled his eyes, what's wrong with the two of them?Also... Li Lanyi, the eunuch, took advantage of the protection of the late emperor to pretend to be a tiger, so there may not be many people in the court who are against Li Lanyi.

Zhao Duofu, who was kneeling there, froze.

"Oh, our family understands that you are talking about King Wen Xiao." Li Lan's eyes were cold.

"The death of King Wen Xiao is indeed bizarre." Cheng Muqing said, "But there are too few witnesses now..."

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Duofu called her, "After all, the first prince and you grew up together, and he is also the only brother of His Majesty in this world. If the real culprit cannot be found, how can the first prince rest in peace!"

"General Zhao, I understand your feelings. I also feel very sorry for King Wen Xiao's accident." Cheng Muqing said softly, "So, from now on, I will send people to the northern border to investigate. How about it?"

"Your Majesty, I'm only investigating now..." Zhao Duofu frowned, "You don't have any affection for the former crown prince?"

friendship?What I said is actually not suitable for Cheng Muqing and Lin Yan.Especially... still speaking in front of Lin Heng.

"I have just ascended the throne, and there are many things that have not been completed." Lin Heng showed displeasure, "Everything has been dealt with in an orderly manner. Regarding the death of King Wen Xiao, I will send someone to investigate."

"When? Who to send?" Zhao Duofu suddenly stood up.

After all, Zhao Duofu was a famous military general, and he had a high reputation in the court in the past, with numerous military exploits, second only to Lord Cheng.Therefore, he is also somewhat arrogant, even if he is in prison, as long as he believes that he is right in his heart, he will be full of confidence and dare to fight against everyone.

Li Lan looked at him with a flat expression and deep eyes.
