Lord Prime Minister

In March in Yangchun, the willows on the bank will take out new branches and sway gently in the breeze.

Mu Zihuai didn't have time to stop and admire, he walked quickly along the shore of the lake, when he was a few steps away from the palace, he was suddenly stopped by a slightly hoarse voice.

"Lord Mu."

At dusk, there were not many people by the lake, and there were some distances away from here, but Mu Zihuai still stopped with some vigilance, looked around, sighed, and led the people behind him into a secluded small alley.

"Lord Mu, please save the prince."

Yue Bi was dressed in men's clothing and knelt on the ground, with a black folded scarf on her head, and her abdomen under the dark black clothes was slightly swollen, which could not be noticed unless she looked carefully.There was a bit of anxiety and urgency on the deserted face, and the slightly hoarse voice was pitiful.

A few days ago, the current crown prince was ordered to direct disaster relief in the north, but the imperial decree was lost the next day, and he was confined by the emperor to the East Palace. There has been no news for nearly five days.

"The crime of losing the imperial decree is not big or small. The Fourth Emperor is now the prince, so it should be fine. Miss Yue just needs to wait at home, how can I help you?" Mu Zihuai looked at her and said lightly. .

Yue Bi shook his head when he heard the words, and said in a low voice: "I personally collected the emperor's imperial decree, and it is absolutely impossible to lose it. The imperial edict was not lost, but was stolen by someone to embarrass the prince. Some people have already despised the prince's East Palace. position."

Mu Zihuai clenched his hands in his sleeves, paused, and said: "You think too much, now there is only the Queen's faction in the court. According to the previous agreement, naturally I will not embarrass you, I am afraid it is your negligence."

"Master Mu." Yue Bi lowered his head and refused to get up, "The agreement made at the beginning will really be realized? When the time comes to protect the prince well and live a happy life?"

Mu Zihuai pursed his lips, he didn't dare to promise for a while, this agreement was originally for eradicating the alien party in the court, as for the subsequent things, the prince didn't guarantee it at the beginning.

"Even so, what's the use of you begging me? I'm a fifth-rank official, how do I manage the affairs of the palace?"

"Lord Mu can't control it, but the prince can, and the empress can." Yue Bi insisted, and hit his forehead on the ground, making a loud knock.

"Why do you have to do this, Miss Yue?" Mu Zihuai frowned, watching a pregnant woman kneel down, but she made a request that he couldn't do anyway.

"If Master Mu doesn't help the lord, the lord may not be able to come out. Then what's the point of Yuebi living in this world." After Yuebi finished speaking, there was a trace of hesitation, and he put his hand on his abdomen unconsciously, with a cold face. There was a trace of tenderness, which disappeared in an instant.

Mu Zihuai couldn't bear to watch her movements for a while, and stretched out his hand to help her up. "Miss Yue, let's get up first. I really can't do anything about what you said. How can I change the empress's mind?"

Yue Bi shook his head, knelt and took two steps back to avoid Mu Zihuai's hand. "Yuebi only asks for the help of the prince, nothing else."

Muzi was angry and knelt on the ground while she was pregnant. Even if she was in good health, she would not be able to bear it. "You only remember your prince, and don't look at yourself? And the child in your belly, as long as the prince is safe, even flesh and blood can be discarded?"

Yue Bi paused, and actually nodded slightly. "yes."

Mu Zihuai took a sharp breath, he didn't expect Yue Bi to say such words.

"If it wasn't for the prince, Yue Bi might have died in the dead end of Dongsan Street long ago. Yue Bi's life was originally saved by the prince. As long as the prince is safe, Yue Bi's death is not a pity."

"Miss Yue!" Mu Zihuai exclaimed, seeing her hand hanging by her side tightly clenched into a fist, and the other hand still placed on her abdomen to gently caress, she was immediately discouraged.

"Miss Yue, get up first, I will think of a way to deal with the fourth prince, you can rest after you go back, don't worry."

"Thank you, Mr. Mu! Thank you, Mr. Mu! Yue Bi is willing to spend his whole life to repay Mr. Mu's kindness." Yue Bi raised his head, his face was stained with joy, and excitedly kowtowed on the ground a few times, thanking him again and again.

Mu Zihuai closed his eyes and didn't look at her, and said softly: "I just promise you to help you find a way, if the last four princes do not escape bad luck, there is nothing I can do."

"Mr. Mu is willing to help, and Yue Bi is already grateful." Yue Bi kowtowed again, as if he had seen the dawn of success.

Mu Zihuai sighed and helped her up.I don't know the blessing from the Fourth Prince, but having this woman do this for him is enviable.

Yue Bi stood up, still thanking her repeatedly.

"Did the fourth prince ever tell you how the mother and concubine Qing are?"

"The prince seldom mentions his mother and concubine. He has never been seen in the palace for so many years, and there is no interaction. Does Mr. Mu want to ask Concubine Qing for help?" Yue Bi stood still and guessed while answering.

Mu Zihuai shook his head and said thoughtfully: "It's not asking for help, but to unite." After saying that, he asked Yue Bi to go back first, "Don't go back to the palace, find a hidden place to stay, and listen to my news when the time comes. "

Yue Bi nodded, went out of the alley, looked left and right to see if there was anyone, then left quickly with her head down.

Mu Zihuai took a deep breath, calmed down, and then walked out slowly.A hundred feet away from the alley is Minqing Palace, Mu Zihuai walked in, and nodded to the guard at the gate.

The princess was sitting in the front hall, Mu Zihuai saluted and was about to leave, but she stopped her and called into the front hall to chat together.

"Today I went to the boat by the lake to enjoy the scenery. It's just the right time for spring, and it's a good time to go out for an outing." The princess called someone to bring tea and snacks, and said with a smile.

Mu Zihuai nodded, but he was thinking about how to help the fourth prince, and he was a little absent-minded.

"The merchant also said that after a while the lotus leaves on the lake will bloom, and the lotus flowers will be the most beautiful when they emerge. At that time, you can enjoy them with others. Drinking at night is the best." The princess continued, holding up the lotus Taking a sip of the tea on the table, he said to himself.

Mu Zihuai still didn't respond, and the princess ignored him and continued talking.

"I heard that when I was playing ice on the lake last year, the prince and Mr. Mu enjoyed the scenery on the boat together, envious of others."

The teacup made a crisp sound when it was placed on the table.Mu Zihuai only heard the princess say that the prince went out with him to enjoy the scenery, and he was already panicked.He hurriedly returned to God and said: "It was windy and snowy that day. When I came back, I took the prince's carriage and went to the lake. It was Zihuai who disturbed the prince's interest."

The princess smiled and nodded, but did not refute, but said something else. "I've always heard that there is a prince's favored male pet living in Qingliyuan in the mansion. I haven't had time to visit before. I wonder when Mr. Mu will introduce me?"

Mu Zihuai suddenly had a taste, picked up the tea and drank it, took a breath, and then said: "Mr. Kong Qing doesn't go out often, and the princess can just ask someone to summon him. I am a little scared to be recommended by Zihuai."

"Forget it, why don't I visit in person next time." The princess said calmly, smiling at Mu Zihuai, but secretly took a breath in her heart.

Since getting married, the prince has never stepped into the wedding room, and even if he can avoid her, he avoids her.During this period of time, no matter what she did, she couldn't get the prince's attention. Xu Caicai smiled bitterly in her heart. Others only knew that the princess was glamorous on the surface, but they didn't know that she was alone in the empty boudoir every day, and it was difficult to find a husband.

Today the empress summoned her into the palace and mentioned why she was not pregnant yet, she could only evade it vaguely, although the empress was not superficially kind, but she still knew the dissatisfaction in her heart.

The queen is anxious to beg for an heir, but the prince can't see him for a few days, let alone step into the room, how could he be pregnant?

"Princess, if there is nothing else, I will retire first." Mu Zihuai sat on pins and needles, finally found a chance, and asked to leave.

Xu Caicai nodded, watching Mu Zihuai leave after saluting, the smile on her face finally couldn't hold back.

It has long been heard that Prince Minqing is bohemian, dandy and ineffective, has a habit of breaking his sleeves, and is obsessed with masculinity. Now it seems to be true, but it is ridiculous that he is not as good as a male favorite.

In the past few days, I can no longer enter the palace.

Xu Caicai secretly made a decision, and called the two accompanying maids to leave the front hall.
