Lord Prime Minister

The old butler held a small lantern and looked at the person in front of him carefully before he recognized him. He was a little surprised and said, "Why is Mr. Mu here? The guest room should be in the west courtyard."

"I'm ashamed to say that this junior originally wanted to look for my younger brothers who were waiting for me in the backyard, but when I went out, I lost my way and couldn't distinguish things. It's really lucky to meet the old housekeeper at this time."

"Sir, what's your brother's name? It's getting late, I'll let the little servant take Mr. to rest first, and let the villain inform you if there is anything."

Mu Zihuai thought about it, and there was nothing important, so he agreed.The old butler raised his hand and called out, and a man dressed as a servant came over.Mu Zihuai was taken aback, why didn't he see anyone over there just now.

The old housekeeper and the servant gave some instructions, and then said to Mu Zihuai: "If you have anything to do, just tell the servants, and they will help you."

Mu Zihuai nodded, thought for a while and said: "Go to the backyard of the palace and help me find a pair of brothers surnamed Long, and take a message for me, saying that everything is fine for me, don't worry, I will go home tomorrow, please let them go back first. Sorry for the trouble, brother."

After explaining what he wanted to say, the servant left, and Mu Zihuai's heart that had been anxious all the time fell down, and he immediately felt the bone-chilling low temperature at night.The old butler was wrapped in a gray padded jacket, and he wore inconspicuous heaters on his knees and wrists that were prone to cold. In contrast, Mu Zihuai, who was only wearing single clothes, shivered three times from the cold.

The old butler saw that the gentleman in front of him was not well dressed, he was young, and his bones hadn't grown well. If he got cold at this time, he would suffer when he grew old, so he said: "Sir, hurry up and go back to your room to warm your body. It's dark and dew heavy at night, don't rush in again."

Mu Zihuai nodded, but he was a little panicked in his heart. Thinking about it now, he really didn't think carefully about it. This prince and general has many secrets that kill people. The gossip left behind is enough to make me remember a big mistake.

"What the butler said is that this junior will go back to his room." Thinking of this made him even more worried, and Mu Zihuai hurriedly wanted to leave after speaking.

"Wait, sir, the villain will help you call a servant to lead the way, so don't get lost again."

"Ah, that's right, then trouble the housekeeper."

Raising his hand to call another servant, Mu Zihuai thanked the old steward again before leaving with that servant.

Let's talk about Long Xiu.The sky was getting darker and the temperature was frighteningly low, but Mu Zihuai hadn't come out yet, the banquet had already dispersed, and people were leaving in a hurry. The remaining few beggars walked out of the back door and lay down on the spot in the corner Came down, looking forward to maybe grabbing a meal tomorrow morning.

Long Xiu and Long Lei stood at the door, watching the sky darken inch by inch, and the beggar beside him was already purring comfortably.

The cold wind with snowflakes on his body was bitingly cold, and Long Lei felt drowsy leaning on his brother.

In Long Xiu's arms was the clothes that Mu Zihuai gave him, which was still wet and had already been frozen in the low temperature.

Long Xiu began to consider whether to leave, maybe Mu Zihuai had already gone home first, maybe he stayed in the Prince's Mansion tonight, no matter what, it was not a good choice to wait any longer.

Long Lei shivered in his sleep, and opened his eyes in a daze. He probably woke up from the cold. He rubbed his eyes and looked at Long Xiu.

"Brother, brother Zihuai hasn't come out yet?"

Long Xiu shook his head, Mu Zihuai has helped them so much, even if he no longer interacts with the two brothers, it is justifiable, who would want to go back to that crooked mansion if he can continue to stay in such a luxurious palace? Slanted, thatched cottage with air leaks on all sides?

It was completely dark, people on both sides of the street had already lit their lights one after another, the snow slowly stopped, Long Xiu looked around, and brought Long Lei to a corner sheltered from the wind.

"Xiao Lei, sleep a little longer if you're sleepy, and my brother will call you later." He hugged the sleepy Long Lei in his arms.

Long Lei was young, so he must have been really sleepy. He leaned against his brother, and his body became warmer. He quickly closed his eyes and murmured before going to bed, "When brother Zihuai comes out, you must wake me up."

There are two flowers blooming, besides, Qing Yi, the young servant entrusted by Mu Zihuai, was originally a non-staff young servant guarding the Qingxi Courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, that is, he does not need to do odd jobs on weekdays, but only needs to stay in the courtyard to prevent people from entering. That's fine.

Unexpectedly, he was suddenly called by the housekeeper to run errands. Qingyi was a little reluctant in his heart, not because he didn't want to run, but because he was worried that if someone broke in during his absence, the prince would know that he would cut him alive. No.I heard that the last non-staff servant was kicked out of the palace because of leaving his post without authorization, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

My tooth hurts when I think about it, but the old butler is the most powerful master in the palace besides the prince, so I can't help but listen.While thinking about it, Qingyi's feet felt windy, and he wished to finish the matter and rush back immediately, and only hoped that nothing would go wrong during his absence.

But when I came to the backyard, I realized that the banquet had been withdrawn, and people left in a hurry. The servant Qingyi grabbed a maid who was cleaning up the dishes, and asked hurriedly: "Sister, have you ever seen a girl?" For the young brother? He came with the guests."

While busy putting the plate away, the little maid replied, "Brother? I didn't see it."

Qingyi was a little anxious when he heard that, so he put the remaining dishes into the basket for her, and asked again: "Miss sister, if you think about it carefully, he is the younger brother of the husband who may stay in the palace in the future. I got orders from the steward to bring them a message."

The little maid actually laughed, she really tilted her head and thought about it carefully. "Did you come with those gentlemen?"

"Yes."

"I really didn't see it. I guess I have already left. There are still some beggars lying at the door. Would you like to go there and have a look?"

Qingyi stomped his feet, watched the little girl leave with her mouth covered and grinning, opened the back door and took a look outside, it was so dark that she couldn't see anything clearly, the peculiar smell of a beggar's body and the sound of sleeping snoring hit her face.Qingyi slammed the door shut, the brother the husband said must have left.

It's not that he didn't bring the words, it's because he left first, no wonder he.

Thinking of this, Qingyi re-locked the back door and walked towards Qingxi Courtyard.

Outside the back door of the palace, there were two red lanterns hanging on both sides of the high gate. The faint light could not be transmitted far, and there were occasional small sounds in the dark corner.

A gust of bitter cold wind blew past, Long Xiu woke up from his sleep, looked up at the sky, and at this time the crooked moon was hanging in the sky, it was already midnight.

Long Xiu looked around and woke up Long Lei again.

"Brother? Brother Zihuai is here?" Long Lei asked while rubbing his eyes.

"Let's go home first." Long Xiu said, stretching out his hand to close the collar of Long Lei's collar that had been loosened while sleeping.

"Don't wait for your son to conceive brother?"

"Well, let's go home first."

Pulling Long Lei to stand up, Long Xiu felt a chill in his chest, and stretched out his hand to touch it. The clothes left by Mu Zihuai, which had been in his arms all the time, wet his clothes.

The moonlight was hazy, the snowflakes stopped and fell again, the beggar in the corner was turned over by the cold wind, and soon returned to calm, Long Xiu took his younger brother and stepped on the freshly landed snowflakes to walk home step by step, as if Same as six years ago.

Be it the weather or your mood.
