Under the night, the lights of Yuliu Street are bright and full of laughter. The front of Huixian Tower is crowded with people. They all want to go in and see the true face of the most beautiful woman in the capital. However, it is full today and they can no longer accommodate them.

People.

When everyone heard the news, their faces instantly fell.

"It happens only once a month, it's really hard to wait for!" The speaker was a young man wearing a blue and white robe, who looked like a scholar.

He looked at the bustling scene in the building, with a hint of envy in his eyes: "I have been waiting for five months to listen to Miss Mu! Five months -"

When the man next to him heard what he said, he couldn't help but said: "What's five months? I spent five hundred taels last time and didn't even see the little girl."

Five hundred taels were exported, and everyone burst into laughter.

"What's five hundred taels? Prince Yong last time sent a South Sea coral as a gift, but he didn't even see Miss Mu!"

After hearing this, the man who just complained that he had spent five hundred taels in vain shut up. Compared to Prince Yong, his five hundred taels were indeed nothing.

Ling Qingyan silently listened to their conversation on the side with disdain in his eyes, and then followed the maid of Huixian Tower and walked in with everyone's envious eyes.

In order to meet Mu Xiaoxiao, Ling Youyao spent a lot of money.

Although the performance at Huixianlou on the fifth day of each month is free, you still need to spend money if you want to see people.

Fortunately, Ling Youyao was prepared in advance and sent money to Huixianlou's mother in advance so that she could reserve a seat for Ling Qingyan closest to Mu Xiaoxiao.

"Master, please come this way." The maid respectfully opened the bead curtain and invited Ling Qingyan in.

Ling Qingyan secretly looked at the environment in the building, but he was not as resistant as when he first came.

He has never liked the smell of powder on women, and he has never set foot in Fengchen Land. If it weren't for Ling Youyao today, he probably would never have come to such a place in his life.

After sitting down, the maid thoughtfully brought tea and cakes, "Sir, Miss Mu will come out shortly. If you have any orders, just call me."

"Well, I understand, you can go down."

Ling Qingyan took a piece of fruit and ate it while observing the people in the building.

Those who can enter Huixian Tower must have power, money, or both power and money. After just a cursory glance, I saw several colleagues.

"I didn't expect Mr. Wang, who is usually so serious about his speech, to also like to listen to music." He clicked his tongue, never thinking that he would be seen by others.

After a while, the building gradually became quiet, and the surrounding lights dimmed, leaving only the light in the center of the lobby.

Ling Qingyan held his chin in boredom, and when he saw the graceful figure on the opposite side slowly walking out with a pipa in his arms, his eyes suddenly froze.

"Why does this person look familiar?"

His eyes fell on the elegant room behind Mu Xiaoxiao. Although he only had a glimpse, he still saw the man's face through the half-open door——

It was none other than Cai Qi, who had just succeeded the Liang family as Minister of Household Affairs.

Ling Qingyan was very surprised to see Cai Qi here.

The Cai family has always been a strict tutor and will never allow their children to enter or leave the land of fireworks. Although Cai Qi has not done much in recent years, he has never made any mistakes and has always been safe and sound. But now he appears here. The reason behind it is

Inexplicably.

Could it be that I just got promoted and got carried away for a moment?

Ling Qingyan secretly guessed.

At this time, Cai Qi didn't notice that Ling Qingyan had seen him. He was holding the wine glass and talking to the people next to him with a smile on his face.

Ling Qingyan's eyes lingered for a moment and then he looked back.

He didn't want to know why Cai Qi came here. Maybe it was just for fun. After all, why should he have an antique father?

The music sounded melodious in their ears, and everyone was fascinated by it, with faces intoxicated.

Mu Xiaoxiao wore a smoky purple dress tonight, holding a pipa in her hands, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her beautiful eyes clear and light, without any emotion, like an orchid in an empty valley, hanging on a cliff, not afraid of the abyss, not afraid of the abyss.

Fear of falling.

——This is how Ling Qingyan felt when he saw Mu Xiaoxiao for the first time.

It is hard to imagine that in the red dust of fireworks, such a unique style can be found.

No wonder some people are willing to spend thousands of dollars just to see her.

The soft and melodious sound of the pipa lingered throughout the Huixian Tower. The audience in the building was fascinated by the sound, and the guests outside the building also tried hard to prick up their ears in order to steal two parts of the pipa's words.

Fu Mingjue came slowly from the other end of Yuliu Street wearing black clothes, his steps were calm and elegant, and there was a faint smile in his frosty eyes.

Everyone's attention was focused on the sound of the pipa, and no one saw Fu Mingjue coming with someone.

Jiang Liu followed Fu Mingjue and said, "Your Majesty, our people have surrounded Huixian Tower. This time they will have no chance of escaping."

"No hurry," Fu Mingjue suddenly stopped, "There is still a snake that has not come out of the hole, please wait."

Jiang Liu understood, and then asked: "My lord, how did you know that he was waiting for someone?"

Fu Mingjue raised his eyes and looked at Huixian Tower not far away, and said: "Yuan Yuxuan risked his life to come to the capital early, and he was willing to be such a slut in the capital. Apart from waiting for someone to show up, could there be a second choice?

Is that possible?"

"He has been lurking for so long, but he suddenly appeared in Huixian Tower today. You don't need to think about it, the person he is waiting for will come tonight."

Jiang Liu frowned and said solemnly: "If this is the case, then isn't there a spy from Beidi in the capital?"

"Ha" Fu Mingjue chuckled, "You can indeed say that."

In fact, he began to have doubts after learning that Yuan Yuxuan was in the capital. However, there was no evidence and everything was just speculation.

Thinking of the current situation, Jiang Liu couldn't help but feel a little worried: "The Yuanwu Guard incident happened before, and now Beidi spies have emerged. It seems that the capital is not absolutely safe."

Fu Mingjue said calmly: "There are no absolutes in the world. We can only do our best to move closer to absolute safety."

He paused, and then asked: "By the way, has the news from Tongzhou reached Yuan Yuxuan's ears?"

Jiang Liu: "Yes, my subordinate has done as you asked. I guess he should have known about it by now."

Fu Mingjue raised his eyebrows and said, "I am really curious as to what Yuan Yuxuan's expression will be when he finds out."

After all the hard work and planning, it all came to nothing. He guessed that Yuan Yuxun's face should show anger, surprise, or panic?

The answer is - all three.

Yuan Yuxuan clutched the information handwritten by Fu Mingjue tightly, his face was terrifyingly gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said: "He, how dare he?!"

Najia quickly knelt down and said: "Your Highness, calm down, Fu Mingjue has always been arrogant. Since he dared to send the letter to you blatantly, he must have discovered our traces. We should leave quickly now!"

"

"The plan is just one step away. If you ask me to leave now, are you asking me to surrender to Fu Mingjue?!"

Yuan Yuxuan tried his best to suppress his anger. Thinking of the tragic deaths of his compatriots, he wanted to cut Fu Mingjue into pieces with a thousand knives.

"But Your Highness!" Najia analyzed calmly, "If we don't leave now, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave again! The envoys from Southern Xinjiang and Xizhou are in the capital now. If you are caught by Fu Mingjue at this time,

, the loss is the face of the whole Beidi!"

"Xizhou has already had deep grudges with us. Seeing you in trouble, I can't help but step on you. Your Highness, let's go!"

Najia persuaded almost pleadingly.

Yuan Yuxuan held tightly to the ironic letter, and with three simple sentences, he completely shattered all his twenty-year pride.

"Fu Mingjue is indeed amazing!"

Najia knew that he was not willing to accept it, so he tried to persuade him: "Your Highness, if you leave the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. The person you are waiting for will probably not come. If we stay here, it is equivalent to being captured without a fight."

Yuan Yuxuan didn't know what he said, but he just couldn't bear to admit defeat like this.

But thinking of his father's instructions before leaving, he gritted his teeth and had no choice but to give up.

"Let's go! I will settle this account with Fu Mingjue someday!"
