Li Qing went back to his room alone to be quiet, while Liu Hanyan's face looked a bit gloating.
Li Mu slapped her on the butt and said, "You must have done it on purpose..."
Liu Hanyan raised the corner of her mouth and said, "I just let her experience my feelings. Besides, she will know sooner or later. If I don't tell her, will you tell her yourself?"
The eldest lady of the Li family really wanted to take revenge, because she had shed tears a lot before because of Li Qing.
Li Qing had wronged her, and she wanted to use Wanwan and Xiaobai to get revenge.
She is indeed still the petty Liu Hanyan.
But it was also Liu Hanyan that Li Mu liked.
For many things, it was more suitable for her to talk to Li Qing than to talk to Li Mu.
After thinking about this, Li Mu hugged her, rubbed the place he had just hit, and said, "It doesn't hurt, does it?"
Liu Hanyan blushed and opened his hand, saying: "Behave yourself, Wanwan and Xiaobai are still over there..."
Li Mu looked over and saw the two little girls sitting together on the swing. He immediately covered his face with his hands, his eyes leaking from between his fingers.
Li Mu had no choice but to move his hand away and said angrily: "Children should not look at adult matters..."
"I'm not young anymore..."
"I, I'm not a child anymore..."
…
Wanwan and Xiaobai opened their mouths to defend themselves. Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Go, go, go back to your room to play."
Although they are indeed quite young in some respects, they are still under the age of eighteen. As long as they are under eighteen, in Li Mu's eyes, they are different from Liu Hanyan and Li Qing.
Li Mu can hold Xiaobai's body, but as long as she changes form, he will feel guilty in his heart.
The same goes for Wanwan. She has hardly changed in the past two years. She is still the same greedy and playful person. The only change is that her eyes have become more attractive. Just looking at her eyes makes her soul feel like she is about to sink in.
Xiaobai and Wanwan, one seduces the soul, the other seduces the soul? Are the two girls in perfect harmony? When standing together, Li Mu sometimes can't stand it.
Li Qing was alone in the room quietly. Has Liu Hanyan's revenge been avenged? Full of sense of accomplishment, he went to Miaoyinfang to find some of her good sisters? She planned to buy the entire Miaoyinfang and was negotiating the price with the owner.
Li Mu has nothing to do? Watch Wanwan and Xiaobai playing Ludo in the yard? They agreed before the game that whoever loses will warm the bed next time Li Mu sleeps in the study? Li Mu watched half of it
An hour? In a game of flying chess, they haven't decided the winner yet.
While he was bored, something in the Hutian space suddenly moved.
Li Mu stretched out his hand, and the spirit conch appeared in his hand.
"Come to Changle Palace."
Only this sentence came from the spirit snail? There was no sound anymore.
In the past few days, he couldn't take care of his own family. He was immersed in the gentle land and completely forgot about the Queen.
A quarter of an hour later? Li Mu appeared in Changle Palace, bowed and asked, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
The Queen threw him a sign and said: "From now on, you will be the deputy commander of the Bamboo Guard. From now on, you will be in charge of the Bamboo Guard together with A Li."
The Queen's inner guard has four guards, whose names are plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.
The four guards have different names and different functions.
Mei Wei is in the divine capital and is responsible for supervising all officials. The leader is Lord Mei.
Lan Wei was dispersed throughout the counties, and their duty was to supervise local officials. The leader, Li Mu, had never seen them.
The Bamboo Guard is a special operations organization responsible for carrying out special tasks, such as tracking down rebellious officials and traitors under the emperor's orders. The leader is Shangguan Li.
The Juwei is the most mysterious of the four guards. It is said that it is an organization among the inner guards that is responsible for intelligence. It has spies and undercover agents in the Demon Kingdom, the Ghost Realm, and even within the Demon Sect.
Li Mu accepted the sign and said without any nonsense, "I accept the decree."
He has a very clear positioning of himself. He is just a brick. He will be wherever the Queen needs him.
However, the Queen summoned him here inexplicably, and just gave him a sign, and there was nothing else. She could have Master Mei hand over this sign to him without having to bother him specially.
After taking the sign, Li Mu didn't stay long. He walked out of Changle Palace and said to Shangguan Li outside: "Commander Shangguan, I have other things to be busy with during this period, and Zhu Wei wants you to worry more."
Shangguan Li said calmly: "When you are not around, I am the only one in charge of the Bamboo Guard."
Since Shangguan Li had no objections, Li Mu could concentrate on his own affairs. After leaving Changle Palace, he went directly back to Zhongshu Gaoguan Yue Palace. Zhou Wu looked at the pile of memorials on the table and said, "Take a look.
Well, there is just one more woman around, and she doesn’t even care about state affairs. She doesn’t go to the imperial kitchen and Changle Palace, so I should prohibit them from taking concubines..."
Seeing His Majesty's attitude toward Li Mu becoming more and more strange, Master Mei looked bitter, but it was difficult to interrupt.
In Zhongshu Province, Li Mu sneezed inexplicably and crossed out two names from the list on the table.
Liu Yi walked in from the outside, placed a few oranges on the table in front of Li Mu, and said with a smile: "Master Li, these are oranges from my hometown. Although they are not as sweet and sweet as tribute oranges, they taste pretty good. You can
Take it back and try it."
Zhongjun does not produce oranges, but someone had transplanted them in the past and carefully cultivated them with magical power. The fruits they produced were small and bitter, and no one tried them again. This kind of fruit is usually shipped from several counties in the south.
The price is ridiculously high and not affordable for ordinary people.
Li Mu smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu."
Liu Yi had eaten Li Mu's tribute oranges, but she just came to return the favor and said, "You're welcome."
He was about to leave when he saw a piece of paper on Li Mu's desk and asked, "What is this?"
Li Mu said casually: "Oh, this, I have nothing to do, I practice calligraphy..."
"Master Li is so elegant..."
Liu Yi smiled and complimented, and left Li Mu's office, but she was a little curious in her heart. How could anyone practice calligraphy using people's names? Wang Lun and Qian Long seemed to be the doctor in the Ministry of Rites. Those names after that, Ai Tong
, Wu Sheng, Chen Guang, they sound familiar, they seem to be officials from the DPRK and China...
Early morning.
In the past few days, there have been constant turmoils in the DPRK and China, and a major change has occurred that has not been seen in many years.
To this day, the changes that affected countless officials have subsided.
In the morning, tranquility returned again.
But soon, some officials discovered that the court today seemed too quiet, as if many people were suddenly missing.
Some officials looked around and saw some positions left and right.
In Ziwei Hall, the positions of officials are fixed.
There are three provinces, six ministries and nine temples, ministers, ministers, doctors, temple ministers, and young ministers. Everyone has his or her own position. This position is fixed and unchanged. It is clear at a glance who is asking for leave every morning.
Today, there are many gaps in the neat team of officials.
There are no vacancies for officials of fourth rank or above in front of the palace.
But starting from the palace, there were more and more vacant seats for officials. Almost every two people had a vacant seat. In total, more than twenty officials did not come to the morning meeting today.
Even if they ask for leave, it is impossible for twenty officials to ask for leave at the same time, and the government offices where those officials work have not approved by their superiors.
"What's going on? Where has Mr. Ai gone?"
"Why didn't Mr. Wu come?"
"Master Chen just took in a concubine yesterday. Could it be that he got up late?"
"Neither Mr. Wang nor Mr. Qian came..."
"Master Wang and Master Qian were arrested yesterday. What happened to the others? They couldn't have been arrested too, right?"
…
"Ai Tong, Wu Sheng, Chen Guang..."
Liu Yi stood in front, listening to the discussions of the officials behind him, feeling a little confused.
The names of these absent officials sounded familiar, as if they had seen them somewhere.
It didn't take long for him to recall where this inexplicable sense of familiarity came from.
Aren't these people the officials whose names Li Mu used to practice calligraphy?
But if Li Mu practiced calligraphy with their names, he wouldn't have wiped out their people. Could it be that he was not practicing calligraphy, but using his magical power--I haven't heard of any magical power, just
Just write the name and the person will disappear directly...
Combined with the strange behavior in the court, Liu Yi quickly understood.
That piece of paper was not used by Li Mu to practice calligraphy at all!
That's a list!
The names on that list also included Gao Hong, the former Right Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, former Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Prince of Nanyang County, Xiao Yun...
Liu Yi finally realized something and looked shocked. She looked back at Li Mu. Li Mu gave him a toothy smile. Liu Yi immediately turned around and broke into a cold sweat.
His mind was racing. His name didn't seem to be on that list, so it probably wouldn't be there. He also invited Li Mu to eat oranges...
Nanyuan.
Gaofu.
In the early morning, the porter of the Gao Mansion took a nap in the wing room at the door. Since his father was deprived of his official position, although there were fewer people coming to the house, he no longer had to go to the morning court. At this time before, he had to get up early and open the door.
How can I still be lazy and take a nap here at this hour like today?
For him, it was a good thing that something happened to his master. When he could sleep in in the morning, his life was better.
Bang, bang, bang!
While he was wandering in his dream, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
The concierge was suddenly surprised. After shivering, he lost all sleep.
He walked to the door and said angrily: "It's so early in the morning, someone is dead at home, why are you knocking?"
This person knocks on the door in a very disrespectful manner. A normal person would knock lightly and pause. Only someone announcing a funeral would knock so hard and hastily.
The knocking on the door stopped, and a voice came from outside: "I'm here to visit Mr. Gao."
Hearing the name "lower official", the concierge felt contempt for him. He was still angry and asked coldly: "Do you have an appointment in advance?"
The people outside were stunned for a moment, and then said: "Um, no..."
The concierge said coldly: "If you don't have an appointment, bring me the message after you make an appointment."
The man outside the door said: "But I'm really in a hurry..."
The concierge said: "No matter how urgent it is, you must make an appointment. This is an adult's rule."
The person outside the door said: "Can you be accommodating?"
The concierge said unceremoniously: "Can't be accommodating..."
The person outside the door was finally furious and said coldly: "Forget it if you can't be accommodating. Come, prepare the blasting talisman..."
