Yan Mu's eyes remained close to the book in his hand, and his head tilted to the other side.

"Nothing said."

Liu Yunxiang narrowed her eyes, "Do you have something to hide from me?"

"No."

Liu Yunxiang put her hips on her hips and said angrily: "Yan Mu, I will give you another chance. What did you say!"

Yan Mu saw that Liu Yunxiang seemed to be unable to ask, and he reluctantly put down the book in his hand and pulled her to sit next to him.

"First of all, I didn't agree to her."

"explain!"

Yan Mu sighed slightly, "Changning's father was defeated due to a command error and lost the military power of Xizhou. The royal palace was not as good as before. Han Lin asked the emperor to give a marriage and marry Changning to Han Zhao. The emperor said he would consider it, but he probably would agree, so she came to ask me."

"Please?" Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Can you help her break off the engagement? Are you kidding?"

Yan Mu shook his head, "She begged me to enter the palace and ask the emperor to give her a marriage, and promise her to me."

"What?" Liu Yunxiang sat up, "She knew you already had me, so how could she make such an excessive request!"

"I refused!" Yan Mu pulled Liu Yunxiang down again, "and showed her that I have married you and only loved you."

Liu Yunxiang's expression was much calmer when he said this.

"What did Changning say?"

"She said she would rather die than let her marry Han Zhao."

"Ha, what does it have to do with us whether she dies or not."

"This time we encountered several interceptions on the way back to Beijing from Yuzhou, and she saved me."

Liu Yunxiang pursed her lips, "That's not OK."

Yan Mu nodded, "I said, if you threaten your grace, kill me."

Liu Yunxiang snorted: "Your life has become hers!"

Yan Mu smiled, "Why are you jealous? I just rejected her with these words."

Liu Yunxiang thought, no wonder Changning stopped talking as soon as she came back, and she walked out with a very bad look.

"Who is Han Zhao, whoever marrys him will be unlucky. Thinking of this, Changning is indeed very pitiful. But even if it is pitiful, we can do our best to help her, but we will definitely not be able to marry her." After Liu Yunxiang said that, he thought about it again, "Hey, it's not right. Even if you really go to the palace to ask for marriage, the emperor should not agree."

Yan Mu shook his head: "Maybe it wouldn't have happened before, and the emperor had to turn his elbow inward, but now he no longer trusts Han Lin. He married Changning to me, joined forces with Zhenbei, and took the opportunity to hit the Han family, so the emperor was very likely to agree."

When Liu Yunxiang thought it was true, Yan Mu had torn a crack in the originally stable court and the reliable relationship between the monarch and the ministers, and the crack would become larger and larger. In the end, the Northern Jin Dynasty was in turmoil, and several forces weakened each other. Yan Mu watched the wall and waited for an opportunity to escape from the cage.

"There is another thing." Yan Mu put down the book in his hand, turned to look out the window, "I'm going to enter the martial arts hall tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunxiang's heart couldn't help but tremble.

"The will of the palace?"

"Um."

Those who can enter the Academic Affairs Hall are all the children of officials. They rely on their skills and their family as their backers, and do some bastards. Especially Han Zhao is also a member of the Martial Arts Hall, and he will definitely use some despicable means to harm Yan Mu.

Liu Yunxiang didn't say anything at the moment, but when he came out of the study, he became more and more worried as he thought about it. He went back to the Nanhonglou and took a piece of soft cotton cloth to the Yingwang Mansion.

The Yuzhou case has been closed. As they had expected before, Han Lin was very cautious and did not leave enough evidence to prove that he and Xie Shengmao had a connection, so all the crimes were defeated by Xie Shengmao.

Xie Shengmao is dead, and he can't defend himself.

King Ying returned from Yuzhou half a month ago. The case was investigated for two months, which shows how extensive it involves. After handing over the case to Dali Temple, he had to watch them handle it and add evidence. After returning to Beijing for half a month, he did not return to the palace.

She heard Murong Zhixi say this. At this time, her belly had been eight months old and had a high bulge. She was about to give birth in another half a month.

Liu Yunxiang couldn't look directly at her belly, after all, she already knew that the child in Murong Zhixi's belly was not His Highness Ying.

"I was like this when I was in Nanzhou with Your Highness. He often stayed in the military camp and didn't go home for a month or two." Murong Zhixi finished speaking and looked at his stomach again, "But I'm about to give birth. I hope he can handle official duties well and stay with me at home."

When she said this, Murong Zhixi smiled and looked happy, which confused Liu Yunxiang. What kind of relationship was there between her and Ying Wang?

If King Ying feels that he is not good enough, he can tolerate his princess being pregnant with someone else's child?

He doesn't want to be so generous either!

"By the way, I'll bring you a piece of soft cotton cloth, which is the most suitable for making close-fitting clothes for the child." Liu Yunxiang put the cloth on the table and showed it to Murong Zhixi.

Murong Zhixi touched it with her hands, which was soft and warm, and was a rare good fabric.

"Yunxiang, thank you for thinking about me." Murong Zhixi held Liu Yunxiang's hand, "But my mother brought me a lot of small clothes, some of which were sewn by her own hands."

Murong Zhixi also called the maid, "Take the bag of clothes that the wife brought the day before yesterday."

Soon the maid brought a big bag and spread it out. There were many small clothes inside, which were folded very neatly. From childhood to adulthood, they could wear it until about two years old.

Liu Yunxiang picked up one and looked at it. It was made of pure cotton, with fine workmanship and embroidery on it. It can be seen that he had really put some thoughts on it, and there were so many pieces at once.

"The Chief Secretary's wife is very nice to you these days, right?"

Murong Zhixi nodded, "I come to see me from time to time, and I got a lot of supplements, and a lot of them for unborn children. I know what happened. My father must have asked her to come to maintain the relationship between the Chief Minister's Mansion and the Ying Prince's Mansion. But I don't mind, why bother to distinguish between true and false? She is good to me, so I think of her goodness."

When Liu Yunxiang saw Murong Zhixi looking at her ease, she couldn't always say that her mother was not. Although she felt that she had to distinguish the truth clearly and the human hearts had to be clearly seen, otherwise she would be the one who suffered a loss.

Murong Zhixi likes these small clothes very much, picking them up and touching them one by one, "I don't know if it's a brother or a sister, but the child is young and looks good in whatever he wears."

When Liu Yunxiang saw that the cuffs in Murong Zhixi's hand seemed a little dirty, she took them to look carefully and found that there were indeed yellow spots. After turning on the others, many of them were not washed away. "Well, these clothes seem to be old clothes."

Murong Zhixi was stunned, "How could it be!"

Liu Yunxiang opened her cuffs and showed it to her, "There are pills in it, which means it has been passed through. These yellow spots mean that they have been washed many times."

Murong Zhixi looked closely and found that it was not the case. She frowned, "She wouldn't give me the remaining clothes for her eldest sister's children!"
