Li Mu lay on the bed, assuming a comfortable position, waiting for the Queen to arrive.
Perhaps it was because she broke Li Mu's erotic dream last time. In these days, the Queen never entered his dreams without saying hello. Instead, she would actively hypnotize Li Mu and then appear again.
However, tonight, Li Mu waited for a long time but did not see the queen.
He opened his eyes, took out the conch, input the magic power, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, are you not coming over tonight?"
There was no sound coming from the conch, so Li Mu waited for a while before putting it away.
Although I don't know what the queen over there is busy with, it's obvious that she won't come over tonight.
Li Mansion, Li Mu no longer waited, and soon fell into a dream.
In Changle Palace, Zhou Wu was lying on the brocade couch, tossing and turning. As soon as she closed her eyes, that scene would appear in front of her eyes.
After a while, she got up from the bed, sat cross-legged, and used her great supernatural powers to force herself into an ethereal state.
…
The moon was sparse, and Li Mu stood in the yard, looking up at the full moon in the sky with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
For several days in a row, the Queen did not appear in his dreams.
Although she did not appear very frequently in the past, her identity had not been exposed at that time. A few days ago, she had been teaching Li Mu magical powers in his dreams every day.
Not only that, during the morning court today, the place where he should have been standing above the main hall was replaced by Lord Mei. She said that this was the Queen's arrangement.
This made Li Mu couldn't help but wonder if he had offended the Queen in some way or made her angry...
After thinking about it carefully, Li Mu ruled out this possibility.
After returning from Beijun, he was even more kind to the Queen than before. Worried about her loneliness, he took the initiative to chat with her at night, talking about life and ideals. Worried that she would get tired of eating delicacies from all over the world, he personally cooked her favorite meals.
His lover was sent to the palace to accompany her, so the queen had no reason to be angry with him.
That night, Li Mu thought about it all night, but couldn't figure out the reason.
Early the next morning, he was going to enter the palace to find out what the Queen had to say.
The entrance of Changle Palace.
Lord Mei walked out of the palace and said, "Your Majesty is not in the palace. If anything happens, you can tell me the same thing."
As far as Li Mu knew, the Queen rarely left the palace, and she could no longer go back to the Zhou family. Every time she left the palace, she almost always went to Li Mansion. Lord Mei was obviously lying, and she had no reason to lie to Li Mu.
It must be the Queen's intention.
This shows that what happened in the past few days was not something Li Muduo thought about, but was deliberately done by the Queen.
Li Mu showed no strange expression on his face and asked, "It's nothing serious. I just want to ask, has Cui Ming been caught?"
Master Mei shook her head and said: "Not yet, but A Li has already gone after him personally. She has many experts around her and can lock Cui Ming's traces all the way. He can't escape."
"That's good." Li Mu nodded and said, "Let's go back first. See you later, Sister Mei."
Master Mei looked at his leaving figure, thought for a moment, and said, "Wait a minute."
Li Mu turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Lord Mei asked: "Have you made His Majesty angry again?"
Li Mu shook his head. Not only had he not spoken ill of her behind her back recently, but he had also treated her better. He could never imagine why the Queen suddenly became cold towards him.
Master Mei said helplessly: "Then you go back first. I will inform you as soon as there is news about Cui Ming."
Li Mu nodded, turned around and left again.
Lord Mei walked into Changle Palace and looked at the Queen who was dealing with the memorial. Her lips moved as if she wanted to ask something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Zhou Wu closed the memorial and looked outside the palace, with a hint of helplessness deep in her eyes.
The inner demons in the realm of transcendence are no small matter. She suppressed them with great difficulty. If she saw Li Mu, she would probably lose all her previous efforts.
Outside Changle Palace, a palace maid on duty glanced at Changle Palace, walked away in a hurry.
After a while, West Palace, Fushou Palace.
The Crown Princess looked at a palace maid kneeling in the palace and asked, "What you said is true. Then Li Mu went to the palace to see His Majesty, but Your Majesty didn't see him?"
The palace maid nodded and said: "It's absolutely true. Commander Mei told Li Mu that His Majesty was not in the palace, but I saw with my own eyes that His Majesty entered Changle Palace just a quarter of an hour ago and did not come out after that. She must have deliberately missed him.
."
The Crown Princess said suspiciously: "Li Mu is her favorite, why doesn't she see him?"
The maid said: "Not only did your Majesty not see him this time, he was supposed to take over the position of Commander Shangguan during the morning court, but today he was replaced by Commander Mei. The maid guessed that Li Mu has fallen out of favor..."
"Falling out of favor?"
A sneer gradually appeared on the face of the Crown Princess, and she said sarcastically: "He is also here today. Because of him, the Ai family lost the only gold medal for immunity from death given by the late emperor. The Ai family has not yet settled this debt with him...,
What will happen to a dog that loses its owner?"
A nun beside her said: "My dear concubine, even the academy can't beat that Li Mu, you have to be careful..."
The Crown Princess twitched her lips and said: "He has offended so many people and forces in the God City, and there are countless people who want him dead. Why does the Ai family do it themselves? As long as the news of his fall from grace is spread,
If it is released, someone will naturally take action on behalf of the Ai family..."
…
After Li Mu left the palace, he did not go home, but came to an inn.
He carried a jar of wine and knocked on a door on the second floor of the inn.
Li Si was holding a book in his hand and was carrying it with his head shaking. When he opened the door and saw Li Mu, he asked doubtfully: "Why are you here?"
These days, Li Si had to prepare for the imperial examination and had been studying hard in seclusion at the inn. Li Mu had not met him a few times.
Li Mu put the jar of wine on the table and said, "I have a question I want to ask you."
Li Si waved his hand, stared at the book, and said, "Just wait until I finish memorizing this paragraph."
Li Mu took the book in his hand and said, "You don't need to memorize it. This section will not be tested."
Li Si glanced at him and said, "How do you know that if you don't take the exam, the questions in the imperial examination are yours?"
Although Li Mu did not come up with the imperial examination questions, the officials who came up with the questions had to come up with the questions based on the examination outline set by Li Mu. Li Mu returned the book to Li Si and said, "Believe it or not."
Li Si looked at Li Mu, threw the book away decisively, and said, "Remember to tell me what the test questions will be a few days in advance."
Li Mudao: "There are no test questions. I can help you highlight the key points. In the end, you still have to rely on yourself."
"That's enough." Li Si sat down, opened the wine jar, poured a bowl of wine for him and Li Mu each, and said, "Tell me, what's the problem."
Li Mu said slowly: "I have a friend who has encountered some troubles recently."
Li Si glanced at him and asked, "Do I know your friend?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "You don't know the friends I made in the city of God."
He continued: "This friend of mine has a friend of the opposite sex. Some time ago, this friend of the opposite sex was very kind to him. From time to time, he would give him expensive gifts and invite him to dinner. The two of them talked about their life ideals together. But recently,
A few days ago, my friend of the opposite sex suddenly became indifferent to my friend and didn't even want to see him. Why is this?"
Li Si asked: "Have you offended her?"
"It's not me, it's my friend."
"Did your friend offend her?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "No, not only was he not offended, but he was also very kind to her. I don't know why that woman suddenly became like this."
Li Si took a sip of his wine, then touched his chin and said: "Three possibilities. First, you are her target, but you are only one of her targets. He is cold to you because she has other objects of passion...
…”
Li Mu shook his head, the Queen is not the kind of person who rides on two boats.
Li Si looked at him and continued: "The second possibility is that she is tired of you and simply doesn't want to waste her enthusiasm on you anymore."
Li Mu corrected him: "It's my friend."
Li Si said: "Sorry, it's your friend."
Li Mu and the Queen were in a superior-subordinate relationship, not a romantic relationship, so they were definitely not bored. He looked at Li Si and asked, "What about the third possibility?"
Li Si did not answer directly, but asked: "Can you beat Miss Liu now?"
"Does this have anything to do with this question?"
"I'll just ask."
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "I can't beat him."
This is not a question of whether he can fight back, but a question of whether he can fight back. Even if Li Mu has transcended now, he cannot be Liu Hanyan's opponent.
Li Si looked at him with incomprehensible eyes and said: "The third possibility, congratulations to you, no, congratulations to your friend, that woman likes him, her hot and cold, inseparable, are all routines between men and women.
, only in this way will your friend feel nervous. If my guess is correct, after a short period of indifference, she will become enthusiastic about your friend again..."
This time, Li Mu did not agree with Li Si's analysis.
Although he and the Queen were not like monarchs and ministers, they were not lovers either.
It was precisely because of this that he was puzzled by the Queen's sudden coldness.
A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea, and only a girl as cute and innocent as Xiaobai, with all her thoughts written on her face, doesn't have to keep him guessing.
In the next few days, a rumor began to spread among the court officials.
Li Mu, the royal censor in the palace, fell out of favor.
He first lost his status as a close minister conveying the Queen's will, and then asked to see His Majesty, but was rejected again. In the following days, Li Mu did not even go to the morning court, and His Majesty did not show any expression in this regard. Everything shows that
, Li Mu fell out of favor.
He has no identity or background. The only thing he relies on is His Majesty's favor. Without His Majesty's favor, any official in the court can make him die hundreds of times.
Li Mansion.
After Zhang Chun went to court, he hurried over. Li Mu was cooking in the kitchen and asked: "Old Zhang, you came just in time. Go and call Li Si, let's have a few drinks together..."
"You're still drunk!" Zhang Chun walked up quickly and asked, "What's wrong with you and His Majesty?"
Li Mudao: "It's nothing..."
Zhang Chun said anxiously: "You still say it's nothing. It's been spread throughout the court and the central government that you have fallen out of favor. Are you not worried at all?"
Li Mu said indifferently: "Your Majesty decides whether I fall out of favor or not. What's the use of me being anxious?"
Zhang Chun said hurriedly: "You are not anxious, I am. As someone who has been there, I would like to advise you, if a man and a woman quarrel at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed... Bah, if there is any misunderstanding between a man and a woman, just talk it out.
Don't hold it back, the longer you hold it in, the bigger the problem will be..."
