The closer the end of the year is to the Imperial Capital, the heavier the snow will fall. However, in the blink of an eye, Mu Qian has been in the Imperial Capital for almost half a year.

After returning from Xunji, Mu Qian did not return to the Yun family, so Chi Si took him back to the courtyard to take good care of him.

Counting the time, it was almost time for them to set off to the north, and they agreed that the place where the Buddha would go was Yelan, the junction of the northern and southern states.

Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, the door can only be opened during the severe cold in winter to enter.

Mu Qian had been waiting for a certain time in the courtyard for the past two days. After her memory came back, she also remembered many important things.

When she stole the Demon Purification Tower, her master gave her the summoning spell and told her the spell used in the Demon Purification Tower.

The Pure Demon Tower is the artifact of Suoling Pavilion. It can only be driven by the power of pure goodness, so it can only be used by the masters of Suoling Pavilion in the past.

She tried summoning it several times, but she never saw the Demon Purifying Tower appear.

When this happens, either the damage to the Demon Purification Tower is gradually eliminated as time goes by, or the Demon Purification Tower is sealed.

Seeing how Fu Yunliu went crazy for the Purifying Demon Tower, she was almost certain that the Purifying Demon Tower was sealed.

The place where the artifact is sealed will not be ordinary, it is either a holy place ten miles away that is full of spiritual energy, or it is a place with strange and strange terrain.

Mu Qian stared at Yelan's topographic map and thought about it. She had been to this place in her previous life. At that time, she was not physically suitable for spiritual cultivation, so she went there as an ordinary person.

But at that time, she realized that the place in Yelan was unusual. It was extremely dangerous outside, but the scenery inside was beautiful.

She couldn't think about that much at the time, but now she thinks about it, if Suo Ling Pavilion was handed over to her senior brother after her master passed away.

Perhaps what happened later caused them to seal the Demon Purification Tower is unknown.

"What are you thinking about?" Chi Si came in from the door and looked at the man sitting on the carpet in a daze.

The temperature in the room was maintained at a constant temperature, and the snowflakes falling on his shoulders immediately melted on his shoulders, and the beige coat was still as smooth as new.

"Where have you been?" Mu Qian raised her head and glanced at him.

Chi Si took off his coat and put it on a shelf aside, then waved the snacks in his hand towards her.

"You think you can bribe me with this?" Mu Qian snorted coldly.

The man who disappeared last night came back and left her here alone, thinking that just two pieces of food would put the matter at rest.

"The chestnut cake and osmanthus cake you like." Chi Si sat down next to her and slowly opened the box.

The scent of osmanthus that hit her face made her swallow her saliva. She leaned over and took a look, "From the old street?"

Chi Si saw her hanging down three feet and stuffed a piece of it over her, "Why don't you get angry with me after you finish eating?"

After weighing the pros and cons, Mu Qian relented, "I'll finish this piece first and then settle the score with you."

Chi Si raised his hand and rubbed her head, "How about taking you out to eat tonight? You have been cooped up at home for the past two or three days, and you always need to go out for some fresh air."

She deliberately didn't listen to the news from the Yun family. Nan Su only told her to rest well at Chi Si and didn't need to worry about anything else.

She didn't want to embarrass Mu Qian. After all, he was her father. Yun Jingyu occupied the position of father by name. Even if something happened to her in the past two days, it would not be involved as long as Mu Qian was not around.

Zhong Limo's case has been decided. He will be exiled to the North for five years and will not be allowed to set foot in the imperial capital again after five years.

As for Zhong Yuanzhi, his funeral was not held in a grand manner. After all, Nan Su had given the order and the Zhong family would not make a fuss about it.

Now Zhong Liyue is the only one left in the Zhong family, and there are a lot of rumors outside.

But one thing is that Nan Su kept Yun Jingyu's affairs a secret and did not tell Ning Jingsheng. Now the Yun family claims that Yun Jingyu is ill.

Nan Su directly sent someone to resign his position as professor at Imperial University on his behalf. Mu Qian saw him the day before yesterday, and she was stunned and lost her former energy.

She didn't know whether Yun Jingyu became like that because he felt guilty, or whether he became decadent because he couldn't save Zhong Limo.

She no longer wanted to care about any of this.

Before leaving, Mu Qian only said that she wanted to know the truth about that year. In fact, Mu Qian knew in her heart that the real Mu Qian wanted to know if her existence was really disliked by her father.

The jade pendant she was wearing belonged to Ning Xi, and the jade pendant also contained some of Ning Xi's aura.

Thinking of this, Mu Qian, who was eating cakes, took out the jade pendant from her pocket. She once thought about giving this thing to Yun Jingyu as a thought.

But now that she thought about it, Yun Jingyu wouldn't want him, and she didn't think he was worthy.

"Is there any news from Shuling Office?" Mu Qian asked.

"Xiao Yi died, Qin Hui acted very quickly, and promoted someone who listened to him to the position, which can be regarded as taking power back into his hands."

But what the future will hold is yet to be determined.

"I heard that someone is coming from Beizhou?"

Chi Si poured her a glass of water and said, "He Lianshang, the new director of the Special Affairs Department, has landed in the Imperial Capital this morning. This time he is here for the Shuling Department."

Hearing this name, Mu Qian, who was eating cakes, was stunned for a moment.

"In the Beizhou War, Helianshang gradually became the general marshal from an unknown little general. I heard that there was a little strategist beside him who was young but very smart. He was forced to take risks in the chaos.

I set my sights and got to where I am today step by step.”

Chi Si said as he slowly put the nuts peeled for her on the table.

Noticing that something was wrong with his eyes, Mu Qian blinked, silently stretched out her hand and put it in her mouth.

"Eat more." Chi Si put one hand on her head and pressed it.

"Just ask whatever you want to ask." Mu Qian snorted.

This man was smart in the past. He could guess things that others could not guess. With just a few clues, he could figure out the whole story.

"Eat slowly, I'll take you out for dinner tonight." The man just lowered his head and kissed her on the top of her head, then got up and went to the study.

Mu Qian raised her eyebrows and stuffed a mouthful of nuts into her mouth, "It's inexplicable."

…

Inside the Shuling Office.

When it comes to personnel changes, both the Pursuit Department and the Investigation Department have been very busy these past two days.

After Qiu Yuerong came out of the conference room in the morning, she was stopped by Yan Ji. The two of them were too busy during this period and had no chance to meet, and many things were delayed for a while.

"I didn't expect Xiao Yi to die like this. It's really unexpected." Yan Ji suddenly said.

Qiu Yuerong only glanced at him and said, "His body was found in the back mountain. There was no trace nearby. The last thing that can only be proved is that he was killed by the wandering evil spirit. He is unlucky and cannot blame others."

She took the initiative to hide what happened that night. Although it was Yun Zaichun who attacked Xiao Yi, she could see clearly that the cold arrow shot from behind was not Yun Zaichun's.

Since experiencing the previous incident, Qiu Yuerong's mentality has changed to some extent.

There is no absolute fairness in this world, and it is best to turn a blind eye to some things, and she has figured it out even now.

"We'll be very busy next time. Just for the director's security, we don't have any rest here." Yan Ji said.

Originally, the three teams took turns doing this, but because Chu Zhou was suspended, now only Mie Ren and Sha Feng could take turns.

There has been no contact between the two states for many years. If the director of the Special Affairs Department has a problem here this time, it will be a war between the two states, so no jokes are allowed.

"That person is also quite mysterious. He just met with the director in the morning and then left. Apart from a few confidential personnel, I have never seen what he looks like." Qiu Yuerong said.

They only got two photos in their hands, one of a boy and one of a girl. The boy looked really good.

Bright eyes, bright moonlight, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes are the looks that can make a girl fall in love at a glance.

The girl looks very young. It is said that she is Helian Shang's wife, and she is now seven months pregnant.

Now that I'm staying at the Dichen Hotel, there are a lot of security personnel, but they also have to arrange for people to protect me secretly.

"Please bring this trouble to the second lady of the Yun family." Yan Ji handed over the things he brought, "Jiang Yan gave them to me."

Among the people taken away on the night of the Yun family's accident, Jiang Yan was placed in Mie Ren, and all the Jiang family's cases were handled by Yan Ji.

Qiu Yuerong was exhausted from being tortured by Mu Lian and Zhong Limo, and had no time to deal with such a big figure as Jiang Yan.

"He repeatedly told me to give it to Yun Muqian. Aren't you and her very familiar? It just happened to be given to you." Yan Ji said.

Jiang Yan needs to be exiled for ten years. He was sent there yesterday. He will not have the chance to enter the imperial capital in the next ten years.

Thinking of this, even Yan Ji couldn't help but sigh. Ever since Jiang Yan entered the Destruction Blade, he always spoke harmoniously and softly to everyone.

It was completely different from the sinful spirits they had come into contact with before. None of them would nod and say thank you when taking the meal from their hands.

As time went by, even the members of the Blade Destroyers spoke with a softer tone.

Thinking of the look in his eyes when he handed the thing over to her, Yan Ji couldn't help but feel a movement in his heart.

Maybe he really likes that girl.

Qiu Yuerong took the things and left. In the next moment, the team members responsible for protecting Helian Shang would be selected to form a team.

Although everything was changing for the better now, she always felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't explain what it was.

…

Mu Qian's preferences are easy to distinguish, and there is nothing that cannot be solved with a meal.

During the time she came to the imperial capital, the food cooked by the chefs of the Yun family was really unparalleled. She had been eating at the Yun family for a long time and had never gone out to eat at an outside restaurant.

What Chi Si brought her to this time was a highly secretive private restaurant in the center of the imperial capital, only two streets away from his courtyard house.

The distance was not far, so Mu Qian dragged people over on foot.
