After reaching a deal with Murong Zixuan, Xia Yifeng left Murong Mansion in a happy mood and returned to the palace with a smile. After all, there were too many things waiting for him to deal with in the palace, so even if he wanted to wander outside again
Even for an hour or two, Zhu Jinzhong wouldn't agree.
As soon as he entered the gate of the imperial city, Xia Yifeng was stopped by the expressionless Mu Yan.
Sighing heavily, Xia Yifeng looked at Mu Yan and Feng Ruowu behind her, curled her lips with a depressed expression and said: "It seems that I really have to consider replacing all the people under my command and having arranged so many guards, or let
You ran out"
"Stop talking nonsense, have you gone to see Murong Zixuan?" He interrupted Xia Yifeng with a cold voice. Mu Yan looked at Xia Yifeng seriously and asked, "What did he say?"
"Go back and tell me, it's not convenient here." After winking with Mu Yan, Xia Yifeng strode towards her bedroom.
Returning to the palace, Xia Yifeng first cleared out all the slaves in the room, and then sent Zhu Jinzhong to guard the door. Only he, Mu Yan, and Feng Ruowu were left in the room.
While slowly drinking the herbal tea that had been prepared for herself, Xia Yifeng raised his head and glanced at Mu Yan, then slowly said: "Murong Zixuan has agreed to hand over the child to me, but it will take a few days before he can do it."
"Why?" Looking at Xia Yifeng in confusion, Mu Yan asked doubtfully: "What are his conditions?"
"Let him leave, don't touch his family, and don't send troops to the Cangming Kingdom for a year." He explained everything to Mu Yan simply and clearly. Xia Yifeng's words revealed murderous intent that could not be concealed. "This person cannot be left here anymore."
After I take the child back, I will kill him."
"Will Murong Zixuan be killed so easily?" Mu Yan sat down in the chair and said angrily to Xia Yifeng: "I'm going to follow Murong Zixuan and I won't worry if I don't see Xi'er being brought back with my own eyes.
"
"Just leave this matter to me." Xia Yifeng stretched lazily. He glanced at Mu Yan meaningfully, then smiled mysteriously and said, "I have been in the palace for a long time, and I also want to
I have already told Murong Zixuan that I will send someone to escort him to Yun'an City when he goes out for activities. I want to disguise myself as someone else, accompany him to Yun'an City for fun, and kill him on the way to prevent future troubles."
"It's at least a few days' journey from here to Yun'an City. If you're not in the palace, who will handle the affairs in the palace?" Looking at Xia Yifeng with a gloomy look, Mu Yan frowned and guessed Xia Yifeng's premeditated plan, but Xia Yifeng took over.
The words that came down were completely shocked.
"Don't we have the fourth master here?" With a smile on his lips, Xia Yifeng said his idea very calmly, "As long as people know that I am still in the palace, the fourth master can disguise himself as me.
After lying in bed for a few days, I said that I had a cold, so I couldn't go to court. If there are important memorials to deal with, just send them directly to the palace. Anyway, the jade seal is in your hands. When the time comes, just ask Ruowu to watch and deal with it.
"
Let Fourth Master play the role of emperor?!
With a stiff expression on his lips, Mu Yan suddenly felt like laughing, but couldn't. Is it because Xia Yifeng is too bold, or does he really not pay attention to any important national affairs? He is so relieved to let his people
Come and take over his affairs in the palace?
From time to time, Xia Yifeng's words "I love you" floated through his mind, making Mu Yan's heart suddenly sink. He clenched his fists, and his nails dug deeply into his flesh. Mu Yan regained some composure and stood up.
Mu Yan glanced at Xia Yifeng, and after saying "I want to go too", he prepared to leave the room with Feng Ruowu without looking back, and went to find Fourth Master and Leng Yan'er to discuss the future matters.
"Wait!" He stopped Mu Yan's movements. Xia Yifeng thought for a while, took out the sachet that Qi Fengyuan gave him from his arms and played with it. Under Mu Yan's glare, Xia Yifeng slowly said:
"This is what Qi Fengyuan asked me to give to you. He also asked me to say, don't open it unless it is absolutely necessary. He is busy with something recently. He will leave for a while. If there is a chance in the future, he will come back to you to help you.
of"
Raising his hand to catch the sachet thrown by Xia Yifeng in the air, Mu Yan held it in his hand with bright eyes. The scene when he and Qi Fengyuan met for the first time appeared in his mind. Mu Yan smiled calmly. Seeing this
Old man, it’s really interesting.
After walking out of the room, Mu Yan found the fourth master who was whispering to Leng Yan'er. He quickly told the fourth master Xia Yifeng's plan. Mu Yan looked at the fourth master who sat down on the ground, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes.
smile
Indeed, it is really unreasonable to let the fourth master, a flower-picking thief who was once wanted by the imperial court all over the world, come to disguise himself and play the role of the emperor who is more than ten thousand people. But now, there is no other way. This matter cannot be allowed too much.
People know that, and there are only a few fourth masters who can be completely trusted around them. Apart from their appearance, their height and weight are very similar to Xia Yifeng. Or it can be said that this is the most important reason why Xia Yifeng likes him.
"Boss, that's not the joke." He stretched out his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. The fourth master sat on the ground without any hope. He looked up at Mu Yan with a smile in his eyes and pointed his index finger at himself. The fourth master still looked like a
He looked in disbelief, "How could I pretend to be the emperor? Aren't you trying to make things difficult for me and make me lose my life?!"
"Your lifespan has already been shortened when you harmed those girls before, so there is no need for you to worry about your miserable life anymore." After hitting the fourth master mercilessly, Mu Yan glanced at Leng Yan'er.
, said: "It would be better if you died early. I will find a good family for Yan'er to marry, and your wish will be fulfilled."
Smiling and listening to Fourth Master's wailing, Mu Yan glanced at Leng Yan'er's indifferent expression and smiled knowingly. Mu Yan and Feng Ruowu both left the room, leaving the place for Fourth Master and Leng Yan'er.
Mu Yan knew that in the evening, Xia Yifeng would definitely come to see the Fourth Master and explain the itinerary for the next few days in detail, so there was no need for her to waste her words and worry the Fourth Master now.
things
Sitting on a chair under the shade of a tree, with the cool breeze blowing, Mu Yan's restless heart gradually calmed down.
Looking up at Feng Ruowu beside him, Mu Yan sighed softly, and then said: "After we bring Xi'er back, we will go back to the valley."
"Do you think Xia Yifeng will let you go?" Looking at Mu Yan seriously, Feng Ruowu also sat next to her, "Yan'er, maybe you don't want to mention this matter again, but have you noticed that Xia Yifeng now treats you
, is no longer just for ordinary people. I can guarantee that he will not let you leave this palace."
