Mu Xinrou was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?"
Lin Yiqiu found out that Mu Xinrou was looking at portraits and missing people, so he took advantage of the opportunity to capture this girl.
He then told what happened last night when he discovered that the palace maid had been kidnapped and was about to be sold to a brothel.
Mu Xinrou was furious, "These people are too bold!"
"Can you be careful and keep the poor palace maid temporarily?" Lin Yiqiu asked with a smile, and his hands became dishonest again.
"Well, of course."
Mu Xinrou quickly pressed Lin Yiqiu's mischievous hand, and the heat made her whole body feel hot.
At this time, the palace maid's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Empress, are you awake? Concubine De is here."
Lin Yiqiu and Mu Xinrou were both stunned.
Mu Xinrou put her finger to her lips, signaling Lin Yiqiu to keep silent.
She cleared her throat and said, "Tell Concubine De that I will get up right away."
Concubine De's voice came from outside the door, "Sister, I'm already here, just go in."
When they heard footsteps coming to the door, both of them panicked.
Lin Yiqiu quickly got up from the bed, picked up his clothes and tried to find a place to hide.
Mu Xinrou's bedroom was not big. Apart from the bed, there was only a wardrobe in the room. In desperation, he could only get into the wardrobe.
The door creaked open, and Mu Xinrou hurriedly put on her clothes, "Sister, come here so early, are you okay?"
Concubine De looked at Concubine Shu strangely.
"It's nothing. I know you have come out of the cold palace. My sister is happy for you. I just came to see you. In this deep palace, my sister feels that she is destined to you..."
Concubine De stepped forward and took Mu Xinrou's hand.
"Oh, I know you were all harmed by Xiao Meiniang. Don't blame your sister. My sister also wanted to visit you in the cold palace, but I didn't dare for fear of her revenge. Now, that bitch is locked up in the cold palace.
It’s true that evil people are rewarded with evil consequences.”
Mu Xinrou said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, sister. You are caring now."
As Concubine De spoke, the look of anger on her face became even more intense.
"His Majesty used to only favor Concubine Xiao, but now she has been relegated to the cold palace, and you don't see your Majesty coming to my place. We are in this palace, and it is true that grandma doesn't care, and uncle doesn't love us."
"If I had known this, I would not have entered the palace in the first place. It would be better to find someone to marry than to be a widow now."
Mu Xinrou was startled and hurriedly reminded: "Sister, be careful what you say."
Concubine De sighed: "What are you afraid of? There are only two of us here. I can still trust my sister as a person. I am not afraid of my sister's jokes. I had a dream last night about a man..."
Lin Yiqiu in the closet sighed in his heart, how wild.
Tsk tsk.
No wonder in the past life, the boyfriend couldn't see his girlfriend's group of girlfriends.
When these women get together, the content of their chat is really eye-opening.
Mu Xinrou knew that there were more than just two people in the room, and there was also a male thief.
She listened to Concubine De talking about her erotic dream, her face flushed.
When Concubine De saw this, she started to joke.
"Sister, you can't be so shy all the time. How can you compete with those concubines for favor?"
She puffed out her chest as she spoke.
Mu Xinrou said awkwardly: "My sister is definitely one of the best in the harem."
Concubine De sighed and said: "It's useless. I even wonder if your majesty is useless. In so many years, I haven't seen any concubine get pregnant."
"This..." Mu Xinrou was embarrassed for a moment, she dared to say anything like this.
Lin Yiqiu listened to the two women chatting privately. It was exciting, but he was in a hurry to get out.
However, Concubine De had no intention of leaving at all, and continued: "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, it's annoying. Sister, who do you think can inherit the throne of Da Gan?"
Mu Xinrou knew that Concubine De was definitely not here to chat with her. After hearing this, how could she not know the meaning behind her words? This should be the purpose of her trip.
She asked smartly: "Sister, what do you think?"
Concubine De smiled and said: "Your Majesty only gave birth to three princesses. The three princesses are not interested in state affairs and spend all their time playing with flowers and plants."
"The second princess is a hero among women. She is not inferior to men, and has outstanding military achievements. However, being able to fight does not mean being able to govern the country."
"The eldest princess Bingxue is smart. Although she has never practiced martial arts, she has read a lot of books and knows the history and the present. If I ask, the eldest princess is the most likely."
Mu Xinrou thought for a moment and said, "What my sister said makes sense, but my sister feels that this kind of thing is decided by His Majesty, so we'd better not say anything more."
She didn't want to get involved in the succession matter. Now that she had Lin Yiqiu, she would also stand wherever her man stood.
After Concubine De said what she wanted to say, she saw that Mu Xinrou was not interested, so she smiled and said: "Sister, you have a good rest. If you need anything, please let me know. I will see you another day."
"Well, sister, walk slowly."
Mu Xinrou sent Concubine De out of the house.
Lin Yiqiu came out of the closet, and Mu Xinrou came back just in time to close the door.
Mu Xinrou was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into, and said angrily: "You still make fun of me."
Lin Yiqiu raised his hands and surrendered, "I'm afraid of you. I understand the purpose of Concubine De's visit. You don't need to worry about these things. I'll take care of everything."
"Um."
Mu Xinrou hummed softly, just like an obedient little daughter-in-law.
Lin Yiqiu hurried back and took Qiuyue and others to Jingren Palace.
He was wearing eunuch uniforms, and Qiuyue and the others were wearing palace maid uniforms, so they didn't attract anyone else's attention in the palace.
He then went to Cining Palace and stayed there until the sun turned west.
According to Meng Jianyun and Qi Qiang's plan, Qiuyue and others were smuggled out of the palace tonight.
Meng Jianyun's team happened to be on guard tonight, which was helpful for him to guard against theft.
Lin Yiqiu went to the Arch Guard Department first.
His appearance immediately aroused the idea of two guards, who stepped forward and asked: "What are you doing? This is the Guards Department, and no one is allowed to come near!"
"I'm looking for someone."
Lin Yiqiu said calmly.
The other party just glanced at him, and a young eunuch asked angrily: "Then who are you looking for?"
"I want to find your commander Cang Hong."
The guard laughed loudly, "You want to see our commander? Are you the one who can meet our commander just by asking? You don't even care about your identity!"
Lin Yiqiu didn't expect to be blocked here. Seeing that the appointed time was getting closer, his face couldn't help but turn cold.
"Now go and inform your commander that I have something to ask for. If there is a delay, can you be responsible?"
"Boy, you are quite loud. If you dare to be so arrogant at the gate of the Guards Department, I think you are tired of living!"
The guard also became angry and glared at Lin Yiqiu angrily. This chapter has been completed!
