The next day.

Mu Bai slept until the sun was shining.

I was so frightened by the devil Zhao Yuhuan in the middle of the night yesterday that I thought I was going to sleep forever.

Fortunately, although the Erosion Heart Pill is highly toxic, there are no special symptoms after taking it.

When I woke up in the morning and looked in the mirror, I looked a lot more handsome.

Mu Bai poured a cup of strong tea from the coffee table and rinsed his mouth.

At this time, the door of the room was pushed open, and Zhao Hai stood respectfully at the door, with his grinning lips spreading the fat on his cheeks to both sides.

"Master Mu is awake. I have prepared some food for you. Can you use it first?"

Mu Bai has traveled through time and has not eaten a grain of rice yet, and is already hungry.

But the thought of eating rough dough steamed buns with hair on them again made me uninterested.

The foreign men in the Chuxiu Palace are worse off than the concubines in the Cold Palace.

Mu Bai said disappointedly: "Captain Zhao, I have one more small request. Isn't it too much to give me a bowl of braised pork gravy with some steamed buns?"

Zhao Hai was so frightened that his legs became weak and he quickly leaned over to apologize:

"Oh, Mr. Mu is going to kill this old slave. How can I get such vile food for Mr. Mu?"

Zhao Hai winked, and the maids filed in carrying red glazed plates.

From time to time, a few admiring eyes peeked at Mu Bai.

However, Mu Bai's attention was focused on the food. The Chuxiu Palace was far away from the imperial dining room, and when the lid was lifted, the steam was still coming out.

"Whatever this is..."

Seeing that Mu Bai was very satisfied, Zhao Hai held his orchid fingers and introduced the dishes to Mu Bai one by one.

"Mr. Mu, this was sent from the imperial kitchen as soon as the pot was cooked..."

"Anchovy tail and shark's fin stuffed with tiger treasure, hanging stove bear's paw, simmering deer tendons in a clay pot, dragon holding phoenix, braised lamb kidneys, and the famous red braised kangaroo tail from the Western Regions."

"In addition, there is a plate of Baihezhai's assorted cakes, a bowl of nourishing ginseng soup made from beef bone marrow, and a bowl of plum blossom licorice dew that relieves greasiness and relieves fire. There are exactly nine items."

Nine dishes were neatly placed on Huanghuali's large round table. Next to it was a small cauldron that emitted sparks, in which the imperial wine "palace jade liquid" was boiling.

Mu Bai showed a hopeless expression. Are these ancient people so extravagant to have lunch?

Also, these meals are full of nourishing ingredients!

Mu Bai understood instantly and cast an appreciative look at Zhao Hai:

"Don't worry about it."

"Mr. Mu, how good are these dishes?"

"The kidneys are good! The kidneys are good!"

Zhao Hai saw that Mu Bai had accepted this filial piety, and thought that the grudge from last night was finally over.

Then he picked up a piece of jade chopsticks and gave it to Mu Bai to pick up vegetables.

Mu Bai was quite polite when eating. The palace maids stood on either side of him, their eyes bright and unexperienced. They were all fascinated by his elegant movements of chewing slowly.

The corner of Mu Bai's mouth moved slightly. If the situation continues like this, I'm afraid I will have to beware of tigers and wolves breaking into the house even when I sleep at night!

After eating half full, Mu Bai asked:

"Captain Zhao, will there be anything big happening at the Weiyang Palace today during the court meeting?"

Mu Bai thought that the empress would definitely start a game with the auxiliary Duke Wei Qian's gang.

Zhao Hai didn't expect that he, a male attendant, would still inquire about important affairs in the court?

There is no way, Mu Bai's only channel for receiving information now is Zhao Hai, so he must seize every opportunity!

But Zhao Hai is very smart, he knows what can be said and what will make him lose his head.

The harem cannot interfere in politics.

"I don't know about the important events in the court. However, when I went to the imperial kitchen to prepare meals for the young master this morning, I heard that your majesty was in a very good mood, and Miss Shuiyue ordered a lot of imperial meals."

Zhao Hai said it, but he didn't say anything either.

Mu Bai understood.

The matter of establishing the capital in Changling City is indispensable.

Mu Bai suddenly remembered what Zhao Yuhuan told him last night.

"Captain Zhao, I have to trouble you with a small matter."

Zhao Hai smiled and said: "Oh, you are really trying to break this old slave. If you have something to do, Mr. Mu, just say something."

"I have a bookboy named Xiaohuan. After Daliang captured the Khanate, he was also captured and made a slave in the palace. Can you bring him here for me?"

"this……"

Zhao Hai hesitated.

Mu Bai was sharp-eyed, but he had no choice but to reward Zhao Hai with nothing valuable, so he prepared to draw a cake.

"Despite taking care of me like this, when I see Your Majesty next time, I will definitely say a few nice words for you in front of her."

"Ouch!" Zhao Hai was so happy that he almost jumped up. After spending most of his life in the palace, he finally met a noble person.

"Mr. Mu is really the old slave's reborn parent, a rebirth of kindness!"

Then he said: "The servants of the important ministers of the six countries are usually kept as slaves in the Shenxing Department. I will go and inquire about them. If I can find them, I will definitely bring them to you."

The Shenxing Division is easy to get into, so Zhao Hai really needed help to get into the Chuxiu Palace.

"Thank you!"

Three days passed in a flash.

The sky is slightly bright.

Mu Bai was still in a daze, and there seemed to be some movement coming from under the bed.

Mu Bai listened carefully with his ears. It seemed like... someone was laughing wildly.

But when he listened carefully again, the sound disappeared.

Mu Bai hurriedly got under the bed and knocked twice. Bang bang bang, the bottom of the stone slab turned out to be hollow.

Mu Bai was curious about where this place was?

Or is there something good hidden?

He doesn't have a single coin on his body now, and not everyone is like Zhao Hai who eats his cake.

Asking for help requires financial resources. What if this is where the empress hides her private money?

Just when he wanted to take a closer look, Zhao Hai shouted angrily outside the door:

"Mr. Mu, Mr. Mu, Your Majesty has urgently summoned you..."

Zhao Hai's legs were so weak that he almost fell down and ate a dog's shit.

Mu Bai sorted it out, and it seemed that he had to wait until night when no one was around before going down to find out.

Mu Bai opened the door and looked at Zhao Hai. The latter was so excited that he could not open his mouth from ear to ear, as if he was about to be promoted because Mu Bai promised that he would say a few nice words to the empress.

"Let's go!"

Zhao Hai led Mu Bai from the west courtyard to the entrance of Chuxiu Palace, panting and saying:

"Mr. Mu, my old slave has found your scholar Xiaohuan at the Shenxing Department. When the young master comes back from His Majesty, I will bring him over."

Mu Bai looked at Zhao Hai with a smile, this old guy is really a thousand-year-old bastard, he is almost a sperm.

"You, are you playing tricks on me again?"

"Hey, sir, you are laughing. This old slave is so old that I can't hide it in front of your sharp eyes!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Zhao Hai grinned and said: "Young Master, walk slowly!"

Mu Bai got on a carriage, but it was not heading to Kunning Palace, but to Weiyang Palace.

Weiyang Palace was the administrative hall of the Liang Dynasty, where the empress and officials held court meetings.

Weiyang Palace is towering and majestic. Step on the ninety-nine steps of the Emperor's Cloud and arrive at the entrance of the palace.

The little eunuch who led the way could no longer reach this location. Not far away, he saw a quiet young woman waiting anxiously for Mu Bai.

It is Shuiyue.

This Shuiyue has no official position. It is said that she was a baby girl that the empress picked up in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters twenty years ago when she was campaigning in the north. She regarded her as her own.

Therefore, she can walk freely within the palace.

"Miss Shuiyue, why are you looking for me?"
