Fate with you

The Oasis Palace at night is very different from that during the day.Standing on the high terrace of Qingliang Hall, you can look at the dark shadows of the distant mountains and the thousands of lights in the nearby palaces.In the silent night, there is only the slight sound of the breeze passing through the hall.Mu Sheng looked down at her light and elegant pajamas, and couldn't help smiling slightly. His majesty had obviously planned it for a long time for such a thorough and thoughtful preparation.

Thinking of the surprise on His Majesty's face when he saw her nodding her head in agreement three or two hours ago.Mu Sheng suddenly felt that maybe, she agreed to come down not because she was afraid of His Majesty's anger, but because she agreed to see His Majesty's radiant and happy face.

There was a slight sound of footsteps behind him. The hall was covered with thick and soft lichen, and there was only a slight sound when he stepped on it. It was the palace ladies who came and went laying the dragon couch, preparing the emperor's court and swallow clothes for tomorrow.

Mu Sheng calmed down, holding her breath and listening to the busy and undisturbed voices of the palace maids, her moist and fair cheeks blushed bit by bit, like the morning glow that first appeared in the sky in the early morning, bright and full of hope.

The people in front of the imperial court were carefully tuned and taught by the Shang Palace Bureau, and the most basic thing is quick hands and feet.Soon, the maids arranged all the objects and decorations exactly, and retreated together, leaving only two palace maids who stayed overnight.

After the emperor came out of the bath, he looked around in the hall but couldn't see Mu Sheng. When he walked to the terrace, he saw her standing beside the dim jade railing with her back to the lights in a room.The clothes on her body were chosen by her personally. The light yellow color looks very heart-warming. The flowing skirt is cut against the graceful curves. She has known her for a long time. Although the emperor has never seen her in pajamas, but this way When she was alone, she had sketched out the scene countless times.

At this time, I finally saw it with my own eyes, but it was far more beautiful than what she had imagined.

Meng Xiuyi took a deep breath and walked forward.

When Mu Sheng heard footsteps approaching, she turned her head.Meng Xiuyi pursed his lips, walked in front of her, raised his hand and gently held her shoulder.With her warm palm pressed against her cool shoulder, Mu Sheng couldn't help shivering.

Meng Xiuyi frowned: "Is it frozen?"

She has a delicate appearance, with distinct facial features, and she has sharp edges and corners in everything she does, and her slender eyebrows are frowned in the middle, which makes her very angry.For some reason, Mu Sheng lowered her head shyly, wanting to step back.With a movement of her body, her clothes swayed, revealing her bare, bare ankles.

The extremely delicate ankles, reflecting the bright floor tiles like a mirror, looked so cute and attractive.Meng Xiuyi's breath was stagnant, she swallowed her saliva, not to waste time, she bent over and hugged Mu Sheng.Unexpectedly, she was so straightforward, Mu Sheng exclaimed, and wrapped her arms around Meng Xiuyi's neck.Meng Xiuyi smiled triumphantly, looked down at the beautiful woman in his arms, the light in his eyes was as soft as the dim candlelight in the palace.

The two maids left in the palace looked at each other, bowed their heads silently and retreated.

Both of them are not untouched, and every next step is as natural as drinking water.However, Mu Sheng's virgin body is extremely sensitive, just a slight tease is enough to make her face flushed, and tiny pink bumps appear all over her body.

Meng Xiuyi's narrow and ambiguous chuckle came from next to his ear, and Mu Sheng buried her head in the soft quilt in embarrassment.Meng Xiuyi's gentle eyes were gradually stained with lust and lust.

When I woke up the next day, it was still early.

Mu Sheng opened her eyes, and the bright yellow curtain aggressively squeezed into her sight. She was startled for a moment, not knowing where she was.She turned her head and saw Meng Xiuyi's peaceful sleeping face. Her black hair was scattered randomly on the jade pillow, and her soft profile was gentle and harmless. Miss.As long as she doesn't open those eyes that seem clear but actually hide deep meaning, she always looks easy to get along with.Mu Sheng couldn't help raising her hand and stroked her slender eyebrows.

The temporarily forgotten memories of last night flooded in like a tide.Moaning unbearably, the twisting waist, the overlapping and undulating body lines, the red, naked and smooth skin, Mu Sheng blushed and burned, and her hands seemed to be burned, so she hurriedly retracted it, closed her eyes and turned her head away. go.

It was still dark, and there were only two palace lanterns standing on both sides in front of the couch in the hall.Mu Sheng fell asleep again, and didn't see behind her. Meng Xiuyi, who was clearly sleeping, slowly opened his eyes, and there was no sleepiness in those clear eyes.She stared blankly at Mu Sheng for a while, thinking that Mu Sheng finally confessed to her last night, she couldn't help but bend the corners of her lips, full of love and hope.

When Mu Sheng woke up again, Meng Xiuyi had already changed her clothes under the service of Gong'e. When she heard the sound behind her, she turned her head, looked at Mu Sheng who was sleepy and smiled and said, "I'm going to go to court early, can you still do it?" Rest for a while."

The time for the government affairs hall to go to the Yamen is half an hour later than the morning.

Mu Sheng blinked, her chaotic head came to her senses, she hurriedly sat up, ready to get up from the bed.The maids at the side noticed her intentions, hurriedly brought the washing utensils, and helped her get up, and several palace maids respectfully presented her official uniforms, boots and hats. Obviously, the emperor not only prepared pajamas for her, but even Fitted official robes are prepared.

This saved her trouble, Mu Sheng gave Meng Xiuyi a grateful smile, Meng Xiuyi raised his brows, and smiled.

After both of them had washed and washed their clothes, and had breakfast together, Meng Xiuyi dressed in a solemn crown, sat on the jade chariot, and went to the court, while Mu Sheng watched her go from behind, and then ran in the opposite direction to go to the political affairs. Church.

In the past few days, there are still a lot of big and small things, but the flood in the south of the Yangtze River seems to be put on hold. Everyone knows that everything is unknown until the news comes from Mr. Huai'an.The emperor trusted Mr. Huai'an, and she would not believe what other people said, not to mention that the embankment was really suspicious, and most of the courtiers had their own suspicions.

According to the law that whoever benefits in the end is the culprit, the majority doubt Pei Boan.However, Pei Bo'an was very calm, went to court as usual, and participated in politics as usual, without the slightest guilty conscience, and he was enjoying the bright future, but instead made some unsteady people make mistakes in their lives and blamed the guilt of good people.

Pei Bo'an is now an official in Zhongshuling, and the world respectfully calls him Master Zai Shou.The official system of this dynasty followed that of the previous dynasty, but the duties performed by the Menxia Province were taken by the Zhengshitang, and the Menxia Province was withdrawn.Shangshu Sheng and Zhongshu Sheng jointly manage the government.Pei Bo'an has been the prime minister for many years, and half of the two Zhongshu servants and the four Zhongshu Sheren follow his lead. There are six ministries and 24 divisions in Shangshu Province.

Meng Xiuyi not only wanted to punish Pei Boan, but also wanted to completely remove his minions.The flood in the south of the Yangtze River is an excellent opportunity. Pei Bo'an wants to take advantage of this to put an end to the official affairs forever. She can also find loopholes in it, start from the south of the Yangtze River, and lead out the people behind the scenes.

Meng Youshu galloped to Jinling overnight, first went to various counties and counties to collect supplies, then packed some grain, and went to Jiangnan first, and ordered his subordinates to catch up with the rest of the supplies.At the same time, it was ordered to transfer [-] soldiers to the Jinling garrison with military amulets to escort supplies.Arrange this series of things before going to the disaster area.

As soon as you step into the boundary between Zhejiang and Zhejiang, you will see a vast ocean, victims of disasters and dead bodies everywhere.Dirty victims walked on the road with their families or alone, and moved to Kuaiji and Jinling. Jinling, Kuaiji, Guangling and other neighboring counties had closed the city gates many days ago to prevent the victims from entering the city.

The victims must have heard the news, but they had no choice but to seize the faint hope and walk towards the most affected counties and counties, just to get a bite of food and try their best to survive.

Meng Youshu rode on a horse, surrounded by guards holding blades, for fear that the disaster victims would turn into mobs and startle the emperor.She looked at the vigilant guards, her lips pursed tightly.The lady with a withered face was dressed in ragged clothes, holding a hungry baby, and walked with difficulty; the white-haired old man walked forward step by step with his eyes picked up casually; the young and strong man was exhausted protecting the whole family do.

The roadside was full of starved and drowned corpses. No one was afraid or restrained. It was normal. People in the crowd kept falling down. A woman fell to the ground. The woman could no longer hear her, no matter how the young son called her, she would not move. The victims were all used to seeing such scenes of life and death, their faces were numb and their eyes were full of sadness.An old man in shabby clothes bent over and touched the woman's nose, sighed and shook his head, lifted the child, and led him forward. The child turned his head three times, and left the mother's body crying.

Meng Youshu took a deep breath, and ordered her subordinates: "Order the guards of all counties to go to Lin'an Mansion to discuss relief matters together; order the two Zhejiang generals to strengthen patrols to prevent civil uprisings." She paused, and then said: "Cui Yunji Where is Master Cui now, let her come to Lai'an Mansion to meet with this Lord as soon as possible."

No one dares to delay even a little bit before the disaster.

Meng Youshu took a deep look at the victims, and headed towards Lin'an City at full speed.

The disaster couldn't be delayed, the next day, the governors of all counties gathered in Lin'an, and Meng Youshu led the officials to discuss disaster relief matters, while assigning tasks and counting the number of victims.All the county guards obeyed the orders and did not dare to have the slightest objection.

Half a day later, the county magistrate was ordered to distribute part of the grain to the county government, and the county magistrate stayed there for further discussion.

The next day, Cui Yunji arrived in Lin'an.

Meng Youshu was busy with disaster relief, so he met her once at night, first asked how the Cui family was, and whether it had been damaged, and then talked about the damage to the embankment.

When Cui Yunji was in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, she witnessed the water breaking the embankment with her own eyes, and she had already made a conclusion in her heart. When she saw that it was Mr. Huai'an who came, she said: "It's a coincidence that the fact is very coincidental. As soon as the disaster appeared, the lower officials felt that something was wrong, and immediately went to find him. The people who were close to Shishui came to ask, and according to the people's statement, they heard several loud noises that night."

Meng Youshu's expression froze—the embankment was blown up!

Cui Yunji looked at Meng Youshu's face, and continued: "I wanted to check the embankment, but it will rain for many days, and I can't get close—even if I can get close, the evidence will be washed away by the flood."

This is expected, Meng Youshu said: "The gunpowder to blow up the embankment is not obtained by ordinary people, nor can it be done by one person. There must be many people involved in this matter."

Cui Yunji nodded in agreement, but the gloom on her face did not dissipate in the slightest: "If you can get the gunpowder, there are probably people in the army involved."

There are also local officials, who must also be involved.The official circles in Zhejiang and Zhejiang are more complicated than imagined.

This matter is very tricky.When Meng Youshu was in Beijing, she was Minister of State, and she had no military involvement. She thought about it and asked, "How is Qi Gun, the general soldier of the two Zhejiang provinces?"

Cui Yunji's eyes lit up immediately, and said: "He is a decent gentleman, and he once had a relationship with the family lord."

Meng Youshu finally showed a little smile, and said: "I also hope that your lord can be a man, I want to meet Qi Zongbing."

With the help of the general soldier, it is much easier to investigate the missing gunpowder in the barracks, and there will be clues soon after the incident happened.Starting from the source of gunpowder is the most convenient way.Without delay, Cui Yunji immediately agreed and rushed home overnight.

Meng Youshu sent Cui Yunji to the main gate, watched her carriage disappear into the night, then turned and walked back to the room, and took out the resumes of the officials in the south of the Yangtze River that he had prepared earlier to read.

The person who can do this must be Pei Boan's confidant, and he must be a thoughtful person.By daybreak, Meng Youshu had surrounded more than [-] people, including Cui Hao, the governor of Lin'an County.

Jiangnan officialdom is about to set off a bloody storm.

When Meng Youshu was busy with disaster relief and secretly investigating, Haining County, the hardest-hit area, had stabilized. The county magistrate Haiding entrusted all matters to the county magistrate and head secretary, carried a simple bag on his back, and went straight to the capital by a small path.
