Prosperous Concubine

Chapter 455 The whereabouts of the Bauhinia fruit (2)
"It's getting late, I won't be here and I'm tired of looking at people for two lifetimes, Marquis Zhen Guo, farewell!" The slight sound of breaking wind quickly went away, and the former calm was restored outside the high wall.

Everyone looked at each other, showing helplessness, and continued to lower their heads to eat crabs, their faces were calm and calm, without any surprise, as if they had long been accustomed to this tit-for-tat scene.

Mu Yutang smiled. Prime Minister Ye, as the head of all the officials, has power in the government and has certain ambitions. He definitely hopes that his own grandson can become emperor. The crown prince Duan Zixi blocked his grandson's way, of course they would not live in peace.

After the banquet was over, the guests left in twos and threes, and Mu Yutang and Xiao Qingyu also walked out slowly.

Stepping out of the gate of Zhen Guohou's Mansion, Mu Yutang immediately saw a dark green figure standing under a big tree not far away, leaning on the tree trunk, holding a sword in his arms, his perfect side face was bathed in golden sunlight, Sentimental but extremely handsome.

Mu Yutang stepped forward, looked at his lazy expression, and said softly, "Are you waiting for me?"

The young man snorted through his nostrils, and said casually: "I will solve the search and reward orders issued by Ye Cheng for you as soon as possible. You should stay in other courtyards for the past few days, and don't wander around if you have nothing to do..."

Mu Yutang smiled. Prime Minister Ye already knew that she was the fiancée of Xiao Qingyu, the son of King Qi of the Qinglong Kingdom, so he would not embarrass her anymore. Only 15 years old, but he dared to challenge Ye Chengxiang, that 60-year-old old fox. Regardless of the result, his courage is commendable: "Thank you, Thirteen."

Thirteen!The young man was startled, looked around the empty surroundings, and asked in puzzlement, "Thirteen refers to me?"

Mu Yutang looked at his misty eyes, and the corner of her mouth curved into a playful smile: "Is there anyone else here besides you?"

The boy's complexion darkened instantly, he glared at Mu Yutang fiercely, and said viciously, "My name is not Thirteen..."

"I know your name is not Thirteen, but I don't know your real name either." Mu Yutang blinked her eyes, her eyes full of innocence: "You call me every now and then, when I see you, I have to call you by something, I can't Always call you 'Hi'!"

The young man choked, his name could not be casually told to others, and it was understandable for Mu Yutang to call him a name.

But he is a dignified man, with a name and a surname, and it is strange to have such a nickname for no reason. Although the thirteenth one is based on the words on his jade pendant, he still doesn't sound as good as his own name.

"I still have something to do, let's take a step first, it's up to you." The young man turned around and was tens of meters away in an instant. His hurried steps and slightly flustered movements seemed to be running away.

Mu Yutang raised her eyebrows. It's just a name. Is there a need for such a big reaction?

The luxurious carriage drove up to him, Mu Yutang shook his head, grabbed the edge of the carriage and got into the carriage, sat opposite Xiao Qingyu, and said casually, "Go back to the other courtyard?"

"No." Xiao Qingyu shook his head, a dark light flashed in his obsidian pupils: "Let's go to a very important place first."

The news of Xuechen son Xiao Qingyu's visit to Zhen Guohou's mansion spread to the palace, and the emperor frowned: Xiao Qingyu is the son of Prince Qi, representing the royal family surnamed Xiao of Qinglong Kingdom. He suddenly came to the capital of Baihu Kingdom, what is his intention?
Ye Yuan walked over coquettishly, offered a cup of refreshing tea, glanced at the emperor's slightly gloomy face, and said with a smile: "I heard that Mu Yutang is Xiao Qingyu's fiancée. The young couple who came to Baihu Country may just be traveling in the mountains." play with water."

When the emperor heard the words, there was a hint of sarcasm in his sharp eyes: Qinglong Kingdom is so big, it's not enough for them to play, why did they come to the capital of Baihu Kingdom?
He Liansheng was defeated and died at the border. Baihu Kingdom was forced to sign an armistice agreement with Qinglong Kingdom. However, the border between the two countries has always been in turmoil and has never been stable. Xiao Qingyu's purpose in coming to Baihu Kingdom at this time is definitely not simple...

Ye Yuan looked at his dignified expression, and there was a hint of meaning in her eyes, and she said with a smile: "The queen sister and Mu Yutang have a good relationship, if the emperor is worried, you can ask my sister to talk to Mu Yutang, and make a side note about their trip. the goal of."

Ye Ge's beautiful, indifferent face appeared in front of the emperor's eyes, and he frowned tightly in his heart. He can handle such trivial matters, so don't bother her.

An eunuch stepped forward steadily, and said in a respectful voice: "Your Majesty, Xiao Qingyu, the son of King Qi of the Qinglong Kingdom, and his fiancée Mu Yutang are seeking an audience outside."

The emperor's eyes were fixed. They came to the hostile White Tiger Kingdom, and they actually took the initiative to enter the palace to meet him. It's really courageous: "Xuan!"

"Yes!" The eunuch walked to the entrance of the palace, and the sound of Xiao Qingyu and Mu Yutang entering the palace was heard one after another, resounding through most of the palace.

Ye Yuan's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. Xiao Qingyu is the eldest son of the Qinglong Kingdom. When he came to the capital of the White Tiger Kingdom, he didn't hide carefully. What?
Mu Yutang didn't expect that the important place Xiao Qingyu mentioned was the White Tiger Kingdom's palace. When she walked into the imperial garden and looked at the calm and majestic emperor in the pavilion, she sighed softly in her heart, and followed Xiao Qingyu to salute: "See the emperor."

"Fair body." The emperor said lightly, sizing up Xiao Qingyu with sharp eyes. The white brocade robe, the jade-colored crown, and the handsome face make the scorching sun in the sky pale. He deserved the title: "Why did Qingyu come to the White Tiger Country to play?"

"To be honest, Qingyu came to Baihu Country not for fun, but to find the emperor." Xiao Qingyu said calmly with a calm expression.

The emperor didn't expect him to be so outspoken, he was slightly taken aback: "What do you want me to do?"

Xiao Qingyu's deep eyes were calm and unwavering, and he said lightly: "Qingyu's father-in-law was seriously injured and needed a bauhinia fruit to continue his life. Qingyu came to the White Tiger Country to ask the emperor for a bauhinia fruit."

Mu Yutang smiled. The news of Xiao Qingyu's coming to the White Tiger Country spread all over the capital, and the emperor must have been on guard against him. It will only become more and more difficult for the snow-clothed guards to secretly search for the Bauhinia fruit. It would be better to tell the emperor their purpose. There are really Bauhinia fruits in the palace, Xiao Qingyu will definitely make the emperor give up.

"So that's how it is." The emperor pondered for a moment, and a dark light flashed in his sharp eyes: "To be honest, there are indeed redbud fruits in the palace, but I can't get them out."

Xiao Qingyu's eyes froze: "How do you say that?"

The emperor sighed softly: "Five years ago, a group of very powerful assassins sneaked into the palace. After being discovered by the Imperial Forest Army, they used gunpowder. The place where the explosion happened happened to be outside the warehouse. The warehouse was safe and sound, but the mechanism inside was blown up." Out of shape, out of control of the spring..."

Mechanisms are very complicated, interlocking and connected. The deformed mechanism is like a bow and arrow that has been stringed. I want to take it out again.
