Qiu Mobai held Hua Qingqing in his arms, carefully avoiding the guards on the city wall of Bianjing, and entered the city quietly.

They did not return to Qian's house immediately, but followed Hua Qingqing's advice and went to the palace to take a look.

The palace's security was far tighter than the city walls, and the number of guards was three times as many as usual.

But Qiu Mobai had already made arrangements in advance and had his own secret agents in the palace.

He ordered the secret guards following in the dark to make arrangements.

When they arrived near the gate of the palace, they saw a thin, childish-faced eunuch standing in the dark, as if waiting for someone.

This young eunuch looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a steady look in his eyes, and he did not look away.

When Qiu Mobai and the others walked over, the young eunuch's eyes changed, and he immediately stepped forward and bowed to them in a low voice, "Meet the master, and this young lady!"

Qiu Mobai nodded.

"Mushan, take us in!"

Mu Shan nodded respectfully in agreement, then took out two eunuch uniforms from the bag behind him and handed them to Qiu Mobai and Qingqing.

"Master and Miss, please bear with it for a while and change into this set of clothes first!"

The two men took the clothes without hesitation and hid in the corner, with Mu Shan blocking in front.

They quickly put their clothes on.

It's winter now, so it won't be a problem if you're a little bloated.

However, when Qiu Mobai put on the eunuch's uniform, it looked a bit tight and short; in comparison, the one worn by Hua Qingqing was slightly larger.

Just as Mu Shan hadn't turned around yet, Hua Qingqing circulated the spiritual power in her hands and gently patted the two of them a few times.

The clothes that didn't fit them at first suddenly became perfect fits! It was as if they were tailor-made for them.

Qiu Mobai raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, expressing his appreciation for Hua Qingqing's wit.

Afterwards, they tied their hair up again, and when they looked similar to Mushan, they said to him, "Okay, you can go now!"

Mu Shan turned around and was surprised for a moment when he saw the outfits of the two people in front of him.

Looks like a eunuch...

But he quickly regained his composure.

After all, the experience of working in the palace had already made Mu Shan a calm and introverted person.

He would never ask about things that he shouldn't ask about.

Even if they find anything unusual, they will keep it in mind, but on the surface they will act as if they know nothing and turn a blind eye.

How easy is it to survive in a palace full of dangers and intrigues?

Mu Shan led the two of them towards a small door next to the north gate of the palace.

This small door is usually used by eunuchs of low status when they go out to purchase supplies.

Compared to other places, the security here is relatively lax.

Mu Shan's face was full of flattery, and he carefully stuffed a bulging purse into the hands of the captain of the palace guard.

The captain's surname was Zhu. He just glanced at Qiu Mobai and Hua Qingqing and waved his hand to let them go.

Hua Qingqing couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw this.

This, this is too easy!

After they entered the palace, they immediately felt a heavy and depressing atmosphere.

Every palace maid and eunuch who passed by was in a hurry, as if they were all doing their own job in fear and trepidation, and were indifferent to the affairs of others.

In this way, even though Qiu Mobai's taller figure was much taller than that of ordinary people, it did not attract much attention from others.

Hua Qingqing's mind was filled with countless questions, but in the end she resisted the urge to ask.

At this time, Mushan lowered his voice and explained to them.

"I am currently working in Concubine Ru's bedroom, so these guards at the gate, as well as the palace maids and eunuchs, turned a blind eye to what I did!"

Qiu Mobai nodded.

The fox is taking advantage of the tiger's might!

This is indeed a good idea!

Mu Shan continued in a low voice, "Recently, his condition has been very strange. Sometimes he is awake, sometimes he is unconscious, and sometimes he even goes crazy suddenly."

"It should be almost over..."

Hua Qingqing frowned, [Wei Ling and the others have calculated everything carefully! ]

[It would be best if the emperor died within a few days of the Yan prince's attack on the city! This way, we can tell everyone in the world that the emperor was forced to death by the Yan prince! ]

[This will also greatly damage the reputation of the King of Yan! ]

Qiu Mobai's eyes flickered slightly.

It seems that he has to find a way to prevent the emperor from dying early, and it would be best to find a way to let everyone know.

The emperor was poisoned by Concubine Ru and Wei Ling.

We also need to let everyone know that Wei Ling is Princess Xiaoyao!

In this way, King Xiaoyao can no longer hide behind!

Mu Shan didn't know what they were thinking, so he continued, "Now many court ministers have been trapped in the meeting hall of the imperial palace for nearly ten days."

"I have no worries about food and clothing!"

Qiu Mobai nodded. There were many of their people inside. But they couldn't rescue them yet because they were afraid of alerting the enemy.

If discovered by the Emperor or Concubine Ru, these ministers might be fine, but their families might not be able to be saved.

Hua Qingqing was thinking, [Most of the imprisoned ministers are civil officials, and they still have real power! But they are powerless. ]

[Being trapped in the palace, I feel like a bird with broken wings. I can only stay here! ]

[Even if there were a few generals, they did not dare to act rashly, fearing that they would anger the emperor and be chopped off by the capricious emperor.]

Mu Shan also told them about the recent situation in the palace.

Mo Bai just listened quietly.

They walked forward, taking more remote roads, and passed by the harem.

Suddenly, they saw a man in official uniform flash by in the distance.

They all stopped.

Qiu Mobai frowned and said uncertainly.

"That person? It's Chen Zhongyan..."

Mu Shan looked carefully and nodded, "It's Master Chen!"

"He is an exception. He was not locked up by the emperor and can enter and leave the palace every day!"

"The Emperor seems to trust him very much!"

Qiu Mo understood clearly.

In just a few years, Chen Zhongyan went from being a fourth-rank official to a second-rank official in front of the emperor. His methods were indeed extraordinary.

Before, he deliberately slacked off and let things go with the flow. Now that he is serious, he is really not to be underestimated.

Unfortunately, he is a time bomb and is destined to be a different person from them.

Qiu Mobai was suspicious, "What is he doing in the harem?"

Mu Shan frowned, "He is going to look for Concubine Ru!"

Hua Qingqing's eyes turned, [I have to go over and take a look! ]

She couldn't figure out what Chen Zhongyan wanted to do.

Qiu Mobai thought about it and nodded.

He said to Mushan, "Mushan, go and do your thing! We'll go and take a look ourselves!"

Mu Shan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement and left quickly.
