"Shen Qingxu, I'll ask you out for fun tomorrow."

"I have to go to the palace tomorrow, so I can't go out with you. Maybe next time."

When Shen Qingxu felt very weak, she said to Qingfang, "Sister Qingfang, please help me pack these things. I want to go to the hot springs. I'm so tired."

Qingfang smiled and told Yilan to prepare a bath for Shen Qingxu, then she took her things and walked towards the bedroom. Qingfang opened the basket and smelled the faint fragrance again.

Apart from Mengyi's clothes this time, she seemed to have smelled it somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where. Where was it?

Already alert, she took out all of Shen Qingxu's clothes and searched through them one by one, but she couldn't find any clothes with a similar scent. She had checked all of Shen Qingxu's clothes, so there would basically be no clothes that slipped through the net.

Where did you smell it?

Still finding nothing, she decided to investigate the owner of the cockfighting arena - Meng Yi. She called the secret guards in, gave them some instructions, and sent them to monitor Meng Yi.

He also put away all the new clothes he bought from Mengyi. Until the truth was revealed, it was better not to let Shen Qingxu wear these clothes.

After Shen Qingxu took a bath, Qingfang helped her change clothes.

"Sister Qingfang, I crushed Mu Yunzhou's fighting cock today. He was so upset. Doesn't he like horse racing? Next time, I'll ask him out to make amends for him."

"Next time, Master Mu will definitely forget about this matter."

"But I can't just laugh it off. Do you know where the best horse racing track is? Usually Mu Yunzhou takes me there to play, so this time I'll find a fun place and take him there."

Qingfang thought that someone was secretly doing something to Shen Qingxu. Although she didn't know the situation, it was better to be vigilant and not go outside.

Qingfang said, "Isn't the best racecourse the royal one? You can take Master Mu there to race horses, and you can also go to the palace to see the Empress, killing two birds with one stone."

Shen Qingxu thought for a moment and said, "Well, this is the best. I miss my sister too."

"I will go to see my sister tomorrow and take Mu Yunzhou to the horse racing. Sister Qingfang, please help me pass a message to Mu Yunzhou and we will go to the horse racing tomorrow."

"Okay, Princess." Qingfang helped Shen Qingxu wipe her hair, "Then I will take my leave first, Princess, please go to bed early."

Shen Qingxu didn't say anything else, and Qingfang walked out the door.

Late at night, the person who was monitoring Meng Yi came back, and she took him to a side hall.

"What information can you find out?"

"The whereabouts of Meng Yi from the cockfighting arena are indeed suspicious. She is also connected with King Liang's steward. Unfortunately, there are people with high martial arts skills around her, so I dare not get too close to her." The secret guard replied.

Qingfang pondered for a while and waved her hand to let the secret guard go down to rest. She packed up Mengyi's embroidery, gave it to Weiyu, and sent it to the Military Education Department, asking the head of the Imperial Hospital to take a look to see if it was harmful to health.

But her intuition told her that this matter must be complicated, so she should tell the Queen.

The next day.

Mu Yunzhou got the news early in the morning and went to the Princess's Mansion to wait for Shen Qingxu. Mu Yunzhou saw Qingfang polishing her sword in the main hall. He looked around and didn't see Shen Qingxu, so he asked, "Is Qingxu up?"

"Are you still sleeping in? You said you would take me to the horse racing! How can you be so lazy that you haven't even gotten up yet?" Mu Yunzhou said in front of Qingfang, but Qingfang was too lazy to pay attention to her.

Mu Yunzhou watched Qingfang wiping her sword expressionlessly and ignoring him. It was really boring. It seemed like the people of the Lu family had no mouths and could go a whole day without speaking.

"What a lazy bum!" Hearing the footsteps in the corridor, Mu Yunzhou spoke again in a sly tone.

"Mu Yunzhou, are you looking for a fight? You come to laugh at me so early in the morning. Do you want to die?" Shen Qingxu yawned after washing up. "I said that you cried uncontrollably because your chicken died yesterday, so I planned to take you to the horse race to relax."

"You have a conscience!"

"Seeing that you are not sad at all, I might as well leave you alone in the mansion, hum!"

Shen Qingxu turned around and left. Seeing this, Mu Yunzhou hurriedly followed.

"You should wait for me!"

In the carriage, Shen Qingxu was still yawning.

"Why do you keep yawning?"

"I don't know. Maybe I was too tired from the fight yesterday and didn't get enough sleep at night."

"Is that so? Then next time, you can sleep a little longer. It won't be too late for us to go out after lunch."

"If we go to the horse race in the afternoon, it will definitely be very hot and we will get sunburned."

"You always have your own twisted ideas."

“I have a plan.”

The two chatted in the carriage, talking about interesting things in the library and yesterday's fight.

Suddenly, Mu Yunzhou became depressed.

"Mu Yunzhou, what's wrong with you?"

"Alas... Actually, when I return home every day without my father and mother at home, I feel empty inside. Although I used to be beaten and scolded by my mother when I was naughty, I feel so uncomfortable when no one cares about me suddenly. I still like a home with a lively atmosphere."

"It doesn't matter. Prime Minister Mu will definitely clear his name and they will be able to go home soon."

"Alas... I think my great Master Mu is like a child that no one wants."

"You are already sad. If you miss your parents, go visit them more often."

"My cousin told me not to go to the prison too often, so as to avoid giving the villains a chance to harm my father."

"Oh, it's all my fault. I wanted to make you happy, but I ended up making things worse and making you unhappy."

When Shen Qingxu saw Mu Yunzhou in this state, she felt sorry for him. She felt bad to see that the usually heartless man suddenly became silent, but given her current situation, she couldn't help Mu Yunzhou.

Shen Qingxu looked at the dazed Mu Yunzhou, not knowing how to make him happier.

Shen Qingxu and others came to the racecourse and saw that many young men and women were already there. Shen Qingxu, a half-wit who couldn't even ride a horse, would not have come here to play if it wasn't for Mu Yunzhou.

When Mu Yunzhou saw Shen Qingxu like this, he remembered that she didn’t know how to ride a horse, so she brought her to the racecourse just to make him happy!

I couldn't help but feel happy.

Mu Yunzhou suggested, "Qingxu, do you want to ride a horse? I can teach you."

Shen Qingxu looked at the horse that was taller than her and hesitated.

"Ah? Teach me how to ride a horse?" She wanted to learn, but there were so many people around her and she was so stupid. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if people saw her falling down and not being able to learn?

But I saw a girl riding a horse freely in a horse farm in the distance, and there was a lot of cheering around her.

"Mu Yunzhou, Mu Yunzhou." Shen Qingxu looked at the unrestrained and carefree woman in the distance, feeling extremely envious.

"It's there."

"Please teach me how to ride a horse." Shen Qingxu said again, "Let's go to a place with fewer people to learn..."

"Okay, come on. I'll take you to find a docile pony. I'll lead you along so you can get used to it first." Mu Yunzhou said.

"Okay, when I learn it, I will choose a pony that belongs to me!" Shen Qingxu looked at Mu Yunzhou with sparkling eyes.

Several young ladies from official families were talking about it: "She comes to the racecourse even though she can't ride a horse. I wonder if this little girl will fall and cry later."

"But Master Mu's horsemanship is very good, he shouldn't fall."

"Look at other people's brothers, they are all gentle and handsome. Compared to my brother, it's really infuriating."

"That's not Master Mu's sister."

"Oh!"

"That is......"

After walking away, Shen Qingxu had no idea what people were talking about behind him.

Shen Qingxu was only interested in learning how to ride a horse, and didn't care what the people behind him said.

She wants to learn how to ride a horse and then gallop on the horse farm!

Mu Yunzhou chose a white pony and led it over. The horse had even-colored fur and a pink nose. It followed Mu Yunzhou closely and was very docile.

Seeing this, Shen Qingxu hurried over and said, "It's so beautiful, let me lead it, let me lead it."

Mu Yunzhou asked Shen Qingxu to feed the pony with some tender grass, and took the opportunity to touch it. Then he led the pony for a walk for a while. After the man and the horse gradually became familiar with each other, he began to teach her to ride a horse.

Mu Yunzhou was in high spirits as he talked about his experience in horse riding. He was very patient in teaching Shen Qingxu how to ride a horse at the beginning. After Shen Qingxu got on the horse, he led Shen Qingxu around the horse farm.

But then.

"Shen Qingxu, could you please stop pulling so hard? You're almost strangling the horse to death..."

"What's wrong with you? You are the one riding the horse, not the horse riding you."

"It definitely can't get over such a high obstacle. What are you trying to do by carrying it over?"

"you....."

"Oh, you are so stupid. You have to pull it like this, otherwise it won't turn."

"Move aside, let me show you how..."

"Hey, how can there be someone like you who doesn't obey orders? What's wrong with your brain? Come over here, whip it..."

"You are such an idiot. It takes you so long to learn something so simple..."

"I noticed that you have practiced for several times but still haven't learned it?"

"Ah, you are..."

"Ah~ Shut up." Shen Qingxu held the reins and glared at Mu Yunzhou who was nagging beside him, while the little white horse was eating grass beside him as if it had nothing to do with him.

It turned out that Mu Yunzhou and her were incompatible and they always quarreled.

Fengyi Palace.

Last night, Qingfang went to find Shen Qiuchi and told him about Mengyi.

Shen Qiuchi knew about this and felt that Meng Yi was suspicious, so he sent Liu Ming and Lu Ming to follow Meng Yi.

The two waited in the cockfighting arena for a long time, and on the second day, they really saw someone coming out of the back door of the cockfighting arena.

One of the two men stayed behind while the other followed the man. They saw the man holding the package and staying near the prison for most of the day, talking to the bailiffs from time to time. Then he returned to the cockfighting arena.

Lu Ming reported the matter to Shen Qiuchi, who ordered the bailiff to be taken to the Military Education Department for interrogation.

Not long after, the men came back and said, "The jailer said someone gave him a large sum of money. The man said he had received great favors from Prime Minister Mu and wanted to send him something and give him some good food every day."

Shen Qiuchi had an idea when he heard this. How did this person know that Prime Minister Mu was in prison?

They did not release the information about which cell Prime Minister Mu was in.

How did this person know this? Who is he?

Why do you want to harm Prime Minister Mu?

Shen Qiuchi sent someone to invite Xiao Qi over.

"I'm afraid this person wants to take advantage of General Weiwu's absence from the capital to kill Prime Minister Mu. By then, everyone in the court will be in danger and people's hearts will be unstable. If that person creates more chaos."

"Qiu Chi, I think their purpose is probably my life and the Qianji Jue in your hand."

Shen Qiuchi heard this and his eyes turned cold: "Let them come. I want to see how far they can go!"
