Xier is her child.

No matter when, the piece of flesh in her heart could not be left.

Mu Fulan looked at the man looking down at him by the bed without moving.

Xie Changgeng stared at her eyes.

Her two empty eyes, which originally seemed to be from the pain of a nightmare, became clearer.

Finally, it seemed as if I finally recognized who I was, but I didn't say a word, just slowly relaxed, turned around, closed my eyes again, and seemed to have fallen asleep again.

As soon as he came in, he heard a low moan from her from the bed, which sounded full of depression and sorrow, like crying.

He walked over and saw that she was actually a nightmare. He frowned and sweated all over his head. His eyelashes kept trembling. He held her own body with his arms, and curled up tightly on the bed, looking extremely painful.

Although she knew she hated herself, she couldn't bear it for a moment when she saw her like this, so she called her out and finally woke her up. However, she didn't expect that when she woke up, she suddenly called out such a name.

Xie Changgeng stared at her silent back towards her, and his face slowly became cold.

He didn't ask any more questions, stood up straight, turned around and left the house.

He went to the study room and returned in the middle of the night. After closing the door, he took out a bed from the cabinet and spread it on the bed opposite the bed.

The couch is designed to sit, it is not long enough to be able to sleep.

He lay down.

No words all night.

In the next few days, Empress Liu summoned Mu Fulan to the palace to accompany her. The wives of the officials in Beijing learned that the Changsha princess Mu, married by Xie Changgeng, had arrived in the capital, and they were inevitably visiting each other.

Mu Fulan was busy dealing with all kinds of people during the day. At night, she lived in the same room with Xie Changgeng and slept together. He also went out early and returned late. They were temporarily in peace with each other.

It was a few days later, it was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

In recent years, Empress Liu has gradually become keen on gods and Buddhas. Not only does she spread good relationships, she often does Buddhist rituals in the palace where she lives. During the year, on April and the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, she also has to leave the palace and go to the imperial guards to worship Buddha in person.

Today is the day when Empress Liu went to the imperial decree to build Huguo Temple to worship Buddha.

From the palace to Huguo Temple outside the city, the matters of staying along the way were not negligent. The guards of the trip fell on Xie Changgeng, who was the commander. In order to show his piety, Empress Liu had to set off at the fifth update. Xie Changgeng had already stood up and left at the third update.

When Empress Liu worshipped Buddha, she naturally had to bring her close servants and destiny wives.

Mu Fulan is among the ones who are with him.

After Xie Changgeng left, Mu Fulan remained awake. When he arrived at the fourth day of the year, he also got up. After washing and dressing, he ate a few bites of breakfast casually, took two maids, and got on the carriage and went out.

Xie’s house is very close to the palace, just pass through two streets.

When Mu Fulan arrived, it was still dark, but outside the west gate of the palace where Empress Liu was about to leave the palace, the fire stick was bright and bright as daytime. The imperial guards wearing armor had already been arranged on both sides of the palace gate. One luxury car after another, amid the endless sound of wheels rolling over the ground, carrying the most noble group of women in Shangjing, who are now in the noblest place. Under the command of the deacon and eunuch, the slaves from each family parked the carriage in the designated position according to the position, and lined up to welcome Empress Liu out of the palace.

The Jiedushi was a foreign official and a second-rank position. According to the order, Mu Fulan's carriage should have been lined up behind him, but when the deacon and eunuch saw that the carriage from the Xie Mansion arrived, they immediately greeted him with a smile and led him to a position in front near the palace gate.

The weather is severe and I go out here early to wait for Empress Liu to leave the palace. It is hard for these destined wives who are usually pampered and live in luxury. However, being able to get the opportunity to go to Huguo Temple to worship Buddha with Empress Liu is a decent thing worth boasting. The wives of each family and his residence not only do not feel miserable, but instead strive to be proud.

Xie Changgeng was appreciated by Empress Liu, and everyone knew this. Even the wife he married was rumored to have seen the daughter of the Changsha Prince Mu, who was originally evil to Empress Liu, had only been in the capital for a few days, and he was summoned by Empress Liu to accompany him several times. The love house was so beautiful that the great kindness of the glory was evident. This morning, the arrangement of Mu's place to accompany him was further proved.

The Mu Fulan people sat in the carriage and knew that they had become the focus of everyone's attention.

She picked up a warm woman handed over by the maid in the same car, and when she closed her eyes and leaned on her seat, she heard the Xie family manager say outside the car: "Master Weng, Princess Qi asked someone to send Zhang Qiu to you."

Mu Fulan opened her eyes.

The maid opened the car door.

A manager held a fox fur in his hand, stood in front of the car, bowed and smiled, "My princess said that it was so cold on the side of Shangjing. The princess was used to living in the south. The princess remembered that the master was afraid of the cold when he was a child. She took a few more photos in the car and asked the little one to hand it over to the master."

King Zhao Long of Qi was one of the closest royal families among the many vassal kings. In his early years, Empress Liu lived in Shangjing for a long time. After Empress Liu took power, he had a tense relationship with the royal family. He also returned to his fiefdom, but he still advocated peace as the best and had been dealing with Empress Liu and many vassal kings. He was also respectful. In recent years, Empress Liu, in order to show the favor of the King of Qi, the King of Qi entered the capital every year to attend the New Year Festival of the ancestral temple.

Princess Qi should have arrived in Beijing these days.

Regardless of the changes that happened in his previous life. During the six months when Mu Fulan lived in Shangjing when she was young, her aunt had a good relationship with Princess Qi who lived in the capital for a long time. Princess Qi often went to the palace to accompany her. Mu Fulan did often see Princess Qi in the palace at that time, but later her aunt died and returned to Changsha. She had no contact since then.

Mu Fulan thought for a while and asked the maid to take it over, asking the supervisor to thank Princess Qi for him, closed the car door, and asked the maid to take it out, and he still sat back like he had just done.

After a while, the palace gate slowly opened, and the eunuch's long tone of voice came from inside: "The Queen Mother's Holy Lord left the palace—"

Before the eunuch finished speaking, the two imperial guards lined up outside the palace gate knelt down together. The women of the destiny hurriedly got off the carriage and knelt on the ground to greet each other.

Although there were many people, there were silent everywhere.

Mu Fulan followed the crowd out of the carriage and knelt beside the carriage. She saw Empress Liu riding a chariot with a chariot surrounded by ceremonial guards. She went to the palace gate and was helped by the eunuch to a Liusi Palace carriage.

Xie Changgeng also appeared. He led a team of guards, rode a horse in front, and set off on the road.

Under the dark sky at the 5th of winter, this group of people lined up in a row, crossed the empty streets of Shangjing, left the city gate, and headed to the Chijian Huguo Temple outside the city.

Mu Fulan sat in the carriage, with her eyes closed, as if she was in a state of meditation.

There are monks in Huguo Temple. It is said that the Buddhist chimes can be recited, and the dead can eliminate evil and remedy.

In his previous life, after becoming emperor, Xie Changgeng built a Mingtang for his Empress Yuan who died at the hands of the enemy after becoming the emperor in the pagoda forest of Huguo Temple, and asked the monks in the temple to recite scriptures for her day and night to save the dead.

However, her soul wandered several times, and was still unable to give up the last ties in the world.

For ten years, she never went there. She watched him posthumously named herself the Empress of Yuan, put a bunch of nice posthumous titles on her head, opened a spiritual palace for her in the palace, built a Ming Hall for her in the Talin, saved her undead, and even later killed Qi Lingfeng.

But everything he did was just self-deception, ridiculous and hypocritical.

Huguo Temple is approaching and the sky is getting brighter.

Mu Fulan opened her eyes, quietly lifted up the corner of the warm curtain, and glanced at the front of her.

Xie Changgeng led the guards and always walked near Liu Hougong's car, looking loyal.

Eunuch Yang took several of his apprentices and rode behind the bush.

Mu Fulan knew that Xie Changgeng would not stay in Shangjing for a long time. In addition, the Hexi border where he governed was not peaceful, and the northerners were always eyeing him. It is estimated that the end of the year will pass, and by the beginning of next year, he will return to Hexi.

Mu Fulan was worried about where he would go after he left.

If they were ordinary couples, she would be very clear.

If a husband loves his wife, he will take her to Hexi to take office.

If filial piety is the greatest, she would return to her hometown in Xie County to serve his mother.

And now, these two destinations are obviously impossible.

Mu Fulan believed that her various behaviors after she arrived in the capital would not have caused too much suspicion from Empress Liu.

What she was thinking about was the third situation that Brother Wang had also worried about. In the end, Empress Liu would be left in Shangjing with some excuse to be a hostage to Changsha.

If possible, she urgently needed to get someone by Empress Liu so that she could learn about Empress Liu's movements in time and be prepared in advance.

Not only is it urgently needed now, if you can get through this level, have your own eyes and ears in the palace, and return to Changsha, it will also be helpful.

Mu Fulan's eyes stayed on the back of the eunuch named Cao Jin for a moment, and lowered the warm curtain.

When he came to Shangjing, from the moment Cao Jin came to pass the message, he recognized that this young eunuch was the big eunuch next to Xie Changgeng ten years later. Mu Fulan guessed that it was very likely that he should have been Xie Changgeng's detailed work by Empress Liu now.

Xie Changgeng was cautious in nature, especially after he became emperor, during the ten years, Mu Fulan witnessed with his own eyes that he had very distrustful people.

He knew people and used them well. He had countless capable ministers under his command, but none of them had completely attracted a minister, including his old subordinates.

This is even more true in the harem.

He refused to allow the queen to enter the bedroom for a step, and was particularly wary of food and food. He was diligent in government affairs, reviewing memorials every night until late at night, but there must be a sword on his desk. There was also a dagger hidden under the pillow where he slept. As for the concubines, after the luck of the emperor, he was sent away and was not allowed to stay for the night together.

Nearly ten years, no exception.

Only this Cao Jin is different.

Xie Changgeng not only only eats the diet that Cao Jin tried, but also allows him to stay in the bedroom and respond in close proximity.

If it weren't for the old days, how could a eunuch left behind by the previous dynasty get such trust from him?

The carriage riding under me suddenly bumped and slowly stopped.

There was also a faint noise of placing cars and horses in front of us.

"Master Weng, Huguo Temple has arrived."

The voice of the manager rang outside the car.

Mu Fulan lifted up the warm curtain again and glanced out.

The front is the foot of the mountain, with morning mist shrouding in the mountains. A straight staircase that is more than meter wide built to the mountain connects the gate of Huguo Temple to the foot of the mountain.

The sun had just risen and shone on the majestic temple gate. A group of monks were quickly coming out of the mountain gate to welcome Liu Hougui.
