Mu Yunjin stayed in the mansion for five or six days without going out. She was still a little shocked when she thought of Mu Lingzhu's death a few days ago, and the weather was getting colder and colder, so she couldn't be bothered to go out for a stroll.

When Zixiang walked into Mu Yunjin's room holding a pile of clean clothes, she saw Mu Yunjin lying on a rocking chair, kneading melon seeds, and a lot of pastries and candied fruit were placed on the table at hand.

"Miss, don't you feel bored sitting in the room all day?" Zixiang put the clothes into Mu Yunjin's closet, and looked back at Mu Yunjin.

Mu Yunjin shook her head, "I'd rather be bored and flustered than those conspiracies queuing up to deliver to my door."

"That's true." Zixiang agreed with Mu Yunjin's words, remembering the recent bad things.

"By the way, where's Chu Li?" Mu Yunjin glanced at the time, Chu Li will go to the morning court in a decent way these days, but at this hour, it's time to come back.

Zixiang heard the words, and answered, "His Royal Highness said when he went out in the morning that he would have dinner at the Taifu's residence at noon."

"Master Zhuang?"

"That's right, that's what I heard." Zixiang tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded firmly.

Regarding Taifu Zhuang, Mu Yunjin had no idea, after all, he was Chu Li's teacher, and Chu Li had always respected him.

But when mentioning Mrs. Zhuang, Mu Yunjin thought of Zhuang Yuyan and Mu Yunhan, and her expression darkened slightly, "Zixiang, are there any pigeons in the palace?"

"Carrier pigeon? It seems that there is no such thing. The servant has never seen it in the palace." Zixiang said.

Mu Yunjin pursed her lips and nodded slightly.

The two were chatting when someone knocked lightly on the door of the room. After Mu Yunjin yelled to come in, a little maid from the mansion opened the door and came in.

"Meet the princess."

"What is it?"

"City Lord Qu of Xinyao City has come to the mansion, and he is in the front hall now. The prince is not in the mansion, so Mother Shen sent a servant to look for you." The little maid replied.

Hearing that it was Qu Xinyao who came, Mu Yunjin stood up and walked out the door.

After leaving the gate of Liquan Pavilion, I saw Qu Xinyao walking towards her, as bright and charming as ever, after seeing Mu Yunjin, she slightly curled her lips.

"Hi, City Lord Qu, are you here to see Chu Li?" Mu Yunjin raised the corners of her lips and looked at Qu Xinyao.

Qu Xinyao raised her eyebrows, "Go inside and talk."

"Um."

Mu Yunjin took Qu Xinyao to Chu Li's study, and asked Zixiang to prepare some tea and snacks.

"Chu Li had lunch at Taifu's mansion at noon and will be back later. Does City Master Qu have something urgent to tell Chu Li?" Seeing Qu Xinyao's sudden visit, Mu Yunjin must have something important to say.

Qu Xinyao took a sip of tea, and after hearing Mu Yunjin's words, she raised her eyelids, her beautiful eyes flashed a bit teasingly, "What do you say, how do you distinguish yourself from Chu Li so clearly? Isn't it the same if you have something to say to any of you?"

"Also, we have known each other for a while, so you don't have to call me City Lord Qu, I'm a few years older than you, just call me Sister Xinyao." Qu Xinyao didn't hate Mu Yunjin, so naturally she was happy to hear her call herself Sister.

When Mu Yunjin heard this, the corners of her lips curled into embarrassment.

"Since Chu Li won't come back for a while, I'll tell you the same thing. After all, this matter also concerns you." Qu Xinyao lowered her smile, and her smiling eyes were filled with deep meaning.

"What's wrong?" Mu Yunjin had a bad feeling.

Qu Xinyao looked at Mu Yunjin, "The old thief of the Qin family, the old Daoist Qiuye, the second prince of Donglin Kingdom, Chen Wang Chuqing, and the prince of Nanting Kingdom, these five people have secretly teamed up."

Mu Yunjin was stunned for a moment, her brows furrowed, "Prince of Nanting Kingdom?"

She didn't find it strange that the first four colluded together, but now there is an extra prince from Nanting Kingdom for no reason.

"Where's Beiming Country?" Mu Yunjin felt a little trembling when she saw that Beiming Country was the only one left.

Qu Xinyao pursed her lips and shook her head, "The old thief of the Qin family has always been ambitious. The old man Qiuye suffered so much from us not long ago, and he will definitely not let it go. Not to mention Donglin Guorongmin. As for Chu Qing, he is underestimated on weekdays."

"Chu Qing wants to seize the throne, and so does the old thief of the Qin family. Is it possible for them to negotiate?" Mu Yunjin suddenly felt that she didn't understand this kind of imperial power struggle at all.

"Old bandit Qin is an old man, even if he becomes emperor, how many years can he be? He is standing on Chu Qing's side now, but he just wants to rely on Chu Qing to gain more power. Otherwise, according to the current situation in the court, old bandit Qin alone can't make any waves." Qu Xinyao sneered.

Mu Yunjin understood a little bit, and then turned to Qu Xinyao's questioning mode, "Then the few of them cooperate, and they have to swallow it one bite at a time. Who will they deal with first?"

"What do you think?" Qu Xinyao raised her eyebrows and asked back.

Mu Yunjin's heart trembled, and she frowned when she thought of Beiming Kingdom, which was excluded, "They want to swallow Beiming Kingdom first?"

"That's right. Now everyone in the world knows that you are Princess Jinhua of the Beiming Kingdom, and you are also married to His Highness King Ning of the Xiyuan Kingdom. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the Beiming Monarch will never oppose the Xiyuan Kingdom. The national power of the four countries is balanced. In the past, the well water did not interfere with the river water. In recent years, there have been small movements in private, but no one dared to start."

"Because they are not sure about the chances of winning, and they are most worried about the combination of two and two, confronting each other, and ending up together. But now it is different. People from the three countries have joined forces in private. Of course, they will first find a way to solve a country and gain the power of that country. When the time comes, a country will support them, and then everything will be different."

After explaining a long list of words, Qu Xinyao took a few sips of water and looked at Mu Yunjin, "Did you understand what I said?"

Mu Yunjin crossed her arms and digested Qu Xinyao's words carefully. Five people want to destroy a country, which sounds like a fantasy.

But these five people are not ordinary.

Normally, she wouldn't care about this matter if it was Donglin Country or Nanting Country, but now it's different. In Beiming Country, there are her father and mother.

"How did you know about this?" Mu Yunjin looked at Qu Xinyao in surprise.

"You still don't know my identity?" Qu Xinyao shrugged and put on a relaxed tone.

Mu Yunjin looked at Qu Xinyao strangely, "Apart from being the Lord of Xinyao City, what else do you have?"

"The city lord is just a cover. In fact, like Huang Yan and Song Chun, I am a subordinate of His Royal Highness King Ning. What I told you just now is the result of my investigation recently." Qu Xinyao took a few more sips of tea.

Mu Yunjin was stunned for a moment again, and looked Qu Xinyao up and down inexplicably, a little surprised that such a proud woman would be willing to be Chu Li's subordinate.

Chu Li is quite capable.

"Then Xu..." Mu Yunjin originally wanted to ask Xu Heyu, but when she thought of the awkward relationship between Qu Xinyao and Xu Heyu, she pursed her lips and stopped asking.

"The same is true for Xu's idiot, but he's sick and broken, and he hasn't done much to help." Qu Xinyao said angrily.

Listening to Qu Xinyao's description of Xu Heyu, Mu Yunjin slightly curled her lips, knowing a lot of information from Qu Xinyao today, so she asked the question to the end.

"Where are the city lords of Zhangzhou City?" Mu Yunjin thought, the city lords of these big cities would not all be taken over by Chu Li, right?

Qu Xinyao shook her head and curled her lips, "Qiu Tianhuai, the lord of Zhangzhou City, is the brother of Chu Qing's mother and concubine, so he belongs to Chu Qing."

"Then Chu Li is still running a pawnshop and gambling shop there..." Mu Yunjin was surprised.

"Usually I see you are quite clever, what is blocking your head today, can't you understand such a simple thing? Don't you find it enjoyable to earn a lot of gold under the eyes of your opponent?" Qu Xinyao blinked and said with a smile.

Mu Yunjin thought about it for a while, and couldn't help laughing, no wonder she was sneaky when I took her to Zhangzhou City last time, it turned out to be someone else's territory.

The two chatted for a while, and there were slight footsteps outside the door. The two people who were extremely vigilant squinted their eyes and looked towards the door.

With a sound of "squeak", the door of the study was opened, and Chu Li, dressed in purple brocade, walked slowly into the door, with a calm expression and slightly pursed lips.

"Aren't you going to have dinner at Taifu's Mansion?" Seeing Chu Li coming, Mu Yunjin looked at the time, and it was not even noon.

Chu Li seemed to be in a bad mood, his eyes were as cold as snow, and when he heard Mu Yunjin's voice, he frowned and looked at her, moved his lips, but made no sound.

"What's wrong with you?" Mu Yunjin didn't know why Chu Li looked at her like this.

"Yun Jin, clean up and go to Beiming Country now." Chu Li thought for a long time, then opened his thin lips lightly, his voice was low and hoarse.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Although Mu Yunjin could guess something, it was too sudden.

"It must be Qiuye and those people who have started to act. The Lord Beiming hasn't heard the news yet, and it is entirely possible that he will be killed by surprise. You should go to Beiming Kingdom now and help your father and mother." Qu Xinyao explained. From Chu Li's expression when he entered the door just now, it can be seen that Chu Li did not want to let Mu Yunjin go, but he still did not hide her.

Inexplicably, Qu Xinyao became a little envious. There are so many men in this world, but she just fell in love with a piece of wood, and she couldn't figure it out.

Mu Yunjin bit her lip, thinking of the three-on-one that Qu Xinyao said earlier, she suddenly felt a little terrified, "Then I'll go and pack my things now, and let Qiqi use the invisible space to take me there."

"You can't use the invisible space." Chu Li stopped, walked a few steps closer to Mu Yunjin, and put his hand on her shoulder, "Although the invisible space is hidden, if you meet someone with deep internal strength during the shuttle, it is very likely that it will be discovered."

"This king has some things to deal with, so I can't go with you, but I will let Huang Yan and Song Chun follow you to assist you." Chu Li spoke softly, with a cautious tone in his tone, for fear that Mu Yunjin would be unhappy about it.

Mu Yunjin understands that this matter is no small matter. In the past, she only wanted to be a rice bug who ate, drank and had fun until she died, but since she decided to be with Chu Li, her shoulders have also been imperceptibly burdened with responsibility.

So he smiled and waved his hands, "No, let Huang Yan and Song Chun stay here, and I'll just take a few of the Huangyu Pavilion's men down."
