The Queen's Secret

As soon as Zhao Muyan entered, he saw all the housekeepers and palace people kneeling down towards Zhao Muyan.

"See Empress Empress—"

Qi Yuxin was obviously a little dazed when she saw this formation, she thought that Zhao Muyan had only brought one palace attendant with her, but she never thought that there were at least thirty or forty palace attendants in this villa.

"Be flat!"

Zhao Muyan's voice was not loud, but apart from the chirping of birds and insects, there was nothing else to be heard around, so Zhao Muyan's voice still reached everyone's ears.

"Thank you Empress—"

The palace people in the manor stood up one after another, bending their waists slightly, at this time the leading housekeeper took a step forward and bowed to Zhao Muyan.

"Empress, the rooms are ready, please rest for a while, Empress."

The butler was a tall and thin man with a beardless face and a fair complexion. He was probably in his forties. From the looks of it, he should be a father-in-law.

"Well, the director of Qi arrest is a guest of this palace. Prepare a good bedroom for her, which is closer to this palace. Don't be negligent."

When Qi Yu heard this, she frowned... Get closer to her?

After hearing that, the housekeeper raised his eyes to look at Qi Yuxin who was beside Zhao Muyan, an extremely beautiful woman in a dark purple flying fish robe. The housekeeper also had eyesight, and he knew that Qi Yuxin must be very special to Zhao Muyan. Don't dare to neglect.

"The slave obeys."

The housekeeper gave the palace people behind him a look, and those palace people immediately filed out, ready to lead Zhao Muyan to the dormitory.

"Director of Qi Arrest, the guards around the palace are stricter. If it is closer to the dormitory of the palace, it will better ensure the safety of Director of Qi Arrest. Does the Director of Qi Arrest mind?"

Zhao Muyan turned his head to look at Qi Yuxin, those beautiful eyes were still slightly bent like a smile but not a smile, they were very beautiful, the smile on the corner of his mouth was faint but meaningful, Qi Yuxin immediately lowered his head, cupped his hands in a bow, secretly Get rid of the blush that just disappeared and came back on the face.

"Thank you ma'am for the arrangement."

After Qi Yuxin finished speaking, Zhao Muyan just responded softly, Qi Yuxin looked down, and saw that the dark purple palace robe had already walked away, leaving with the group of palace people.

At this time, Qi Yuxin raised her head and saw the butler walking over with a smile, Qi Yuxin also smiled back.

"I don't know how to call this adult?"

Qi Yuxin bowed politely, and before the steward could speak, he asked first, so the steward had a good impression of Qi Yuxin, very polite, but a little distant.

"No, no, the slave can't bear the title of a lord. It's better to call the slave Eunuch Tang."

Qi Yu listened intently, then smiled, said nothing more, and called out respectfully, "Eunuch Tang."

"Qi arrests the director, there is no need to be polite, please follow the slaves."

Eunuch Tang’s real name is Tang Nian, and he has been working here for ten years. At that time in the palace, it was Zhao Muyan who saw his management talent and transferred him here, which also saved Tang Nian from the palace. Those fighting openly and secretly lived a carefree life, so Tang Nian respected and loved Zhao Muyan very much in his heart.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tang."

Qi Yuxin followed Tang Nian across the corridor, passed through a courtyard, and came to an elegant room. Along the way, Qi Yuxin saw many peach trees planted in the Zixia Palace, falling all over the ground, blooming with extreme beauty. , It really catches people's attention.

"The empress likes peach trees?"

Qi Yu was curious. She wasn't very curious about anything other than the case, but...she was curious about Zhao Muyan's hobbies.

"Well, the empress likes it very much."

Although Tang Nian had never heard Zhao Muyan say that he liked it, the peach trees in the yard were all planted by Zhao Muyan's orders, so he probably liked it!

Tang Nian pushed open the door and let Qi Yuxin go in first. Qi Yuxin nodded to Tang Nian and walked in first. The room was filled with a faint sandalwood fragrance, which smelled very good. The chairs and tables were very delicate. It is very big, and there are several bookshelves inside, all of which are books, arranged neatly.

Qi Yuxin turned to look at the bed, it was really big, the high bed warmed the pillow, this was the first time Qi Yuxin felt this kind of feeling.

"Are you satisfied with the arrest of the director?"

Tang Nian asked, Qi Yu had no demands on these things, so he nodded naturally, and said, "Very satisfied, thank you, Eunuch Tang."

After Qi Yuxin finished speaking, Tang Nian smiled and said: "That's good, arrest the director together, turn left when you go out here, and you will pass through the courtyard to the empress's bedroom, and the guards near the empress' bedroom are stricter. , please rest assured that the director of the arrest."

After Tang Nian finished speaking, Qi Yu smiled heartily. The strict guards made no difference to her, after all, she...

Qi Yu subconsciously reached out to touch her waist, only to find that her Yulongdao was still in Li'er's hand... Feeling a little uneasy in her heart, that's how the catcher left the Yulongdao. She was fine in the sedan chair, but now she was a little restless.

"Arrest the director together? What's wrong?"

Tang Nian saw Qi Yuxin's pale face instantly, and asked immediately if he was afraid that he hadn't greeted well.

"That... Eunuch Tang, can I ask you something?"

Qi Yu felt that she was a little afraid of Zhao Muyan, so she wanted Tang to work for her.

"Please speak."

"My fish-dragon knife is in Miss Li'er's hands, can I ask my father-in-law to ask for it for me?"

After Tang Nian heard this, he frowned. From his experience, the relationship between Qi Yuxin and Zhao Muyan should be very good, even if it wasn't particularly good, then Zhao Muyan must think highly of her, otherwise he wouldn't let her come to Zixia Palace. Wouldn't it be more convenient for her to go by herself to get back a fish-dragon knife?

Although he thought so, Tang Nian naturally would not refuse Qi Yuxin's request.

"Of course, please wait a moment for the arresting director. I will ask someone to make tea for the arresting director. Please take a rest for the arresting director."

"Okay, it's work."

Qi Yu nodded heartily. After seeing off Tang Hou, he packed his bags before lying on the bed and sighing. He was indeed a little tired from the bumpy journey just now...

Qi Yu lay down heartbroken for a while, brought her hands in front of her, looked at the purple-black prayer beads, engraved with scriptures on them, instantly reassuring herself...

"mother…"

Qi Yuxin faintly called "Mother", which has not come out of his own mouth for many years. Since Qi Muxian passed away, Qi Yuxin seldom evokes this title.

Qi Yuxin sighed again, sat up, straightened his clothes and prepared to play a set of punches to loosen his muscles and bones, but at this moment there was a knock on the door of the room.

Knock Knock...

Qi Yuxin immediately went to open the door, and it was Tang Nian who knocked on the door. Behind him was a maidservant holding tea, and said, "Director Qi, this is tea for you."

Qi Yu made a way out of the way and let the maid come in, but Qi Yu looked left and right, but he couldn't see Tang Nian's fish-dragon knife.

"That... Director of Qi Catchment, the Fish and Dragon Knife is in the empress' bedroom, and the empress asked you to find her in person."

As soon as these words came out, Qi Yu's heart skipped a beat, fearing that Zhao Muyan would be angry with him for not asking for the knife himself, he said, "Okay, thank you, father-in-law."

After Qi Yuxin sent Tang Nian and the maid away, the fragrance of tea gradually radiated from the room. She was a little nervous, so she poured herself a cup of tea, calmed herself down after drinking it, took a deep breath, and prepared to go to Zhao Muyan's bedroom. house…

After all... wearing the flying fish robe, without the fish-dragon knife, she really felt restless.

Qi Yuxin followed Tang Nian's direction just now, went out and turned left, crossed the courtyard, and came to Zhao Muyan's bedroom. When he saw that it was Qi Yuxin who came with Zhao Muyan just now, the guards did not stop him, and let Qi Yuxin Yu Xin walked to the door smoothly and knocked on the door.

Knock Knock...

"Who?"

It was Li'er who spoke. Hearing that cheerful voice, Qi Yu felt a little more at ease.

"My humble minister, Qi Yu, is begging to see you."

Qi Yuxin's tone was still the same polite, and soon she heard footsteps, Li'er opened the door, saw Qi Yuxin and showed a big smile, and said: "Chief Qi, the empress is waiting for you! "

"wait for me?"

"Well, isn't your Yulongdao here?"

"Hmm...cough cough."

Qi Yuxin nodded and smiled, a little embarrassed, and wanted to say something, Li'er said: "Come on, arrest the director, please come in."

After Qi Yu said "thank you" in her heart, she went in, and Li'er led Qi Yuxin across the screen, and then she saw Zhao Muyan, who was holding her Yulongdao, and looked at it carefully in front of her eyes.

Qi Yuxin suddenly felt warm in his palms. There was his name on this fish-dragon knife, which could be regarded as his personal belongings. Now Zhao Muyan holds it in his hands, just like his own palms are held in his hands. burning sensation.

"The humble minister sees the empress."

Qi Yu cupped her hands in a bow, only to realize that her hands were shaking inadvertently.

Zhao Muyan raised his eyes to look at Qi Yuxin, he didn't speak, but was just about to pull out the scabbard of the Yulong Saber.

Although Qi Yuxin lowered her head slightly, but after feeling a glint of coldness, she immediately looked over and saw that Zhao Muyan was about to pull out the scabbard, she was startled, and immediately stepped forward to hold Zhao Muyan's wrist, He stopped Zhao Muyan's movements, and Zhao Muyan was obviously a little surprised, he didn't expect Qi Yuxin's reaction to be so big.

One raised his eyes and the other looked down, Zhao Muyan saw the flash of worry in Qi Yu's eyes...

Qi Yu was aware of his actions, and the bright wrist in his hand was slightly red. Li'er was about to say something, but Zhao Muyan made a slight stop movement, which made Li'er swallow the words back.

"Damn Weichen!"

Qi Yu's heart broke out in a cold sweat, she immediately let go of her hands, and knelt down.

"Why did you arrest Director Qi?"

Zhao Muyan looked at the slightly red handprint on her wrist, and she didn't feel angry. She also noticed the string of Buddhist beads on Qi Yuxin's wrist. She had found it on the sedan chair just now, but she didn't have time to ask. It can be seen that the scriptures are engraved on it, which is very delicate.

"Swords have no eyes, I am afraid that my mother will hurt me, so I...offended my mother."

Qi Yu was worried. Her fish-dragon knife was well protected by herself and was very sharp. She was deeply afraid that Zhao Muyan would accidentally hurt herself.

"Get up!"

Zhao Muyan was a little happy in her heart, she liked the feeling that Qi Yu cared about her, like a piece of sugar melted in her mouth, even the root of her tongue was sweet.

"The director of Qi arrest is so worried about me, I am really happy..."
