"What?" Lai Shanzi was stunned for a moment, then let go of her hand and walked towards the bedside.
He picked up the orange-red gemstone and weighed it in his hand, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: "You mean this piece of orpiment?"
Mu Junyao frowned deeply: "If I remember correctly, this thing was in your shop a few days ago. How did it end up in my mother's palace today?"
"Your Majesty the Empress?" Lai Shanzi's eyes flickered. "That shouldn't be the case."
"Are you hiding something from me?" Mu Junyao's already gloomy face darkened even more instantly.
“Yao, how could I hide it from you? I just wanted to help you.” After Lai Shanzi finished speaking, he sat on his lap: “That day, the wife of the Imperial Censor came to the shop to select jade items, saying that she wanted to give them to Consort Shu in the palace, so I took this out.”
"Really?" Mu Junyao asked, half believing and half doubting.
"You don't believe me?" Lai Shanzi feigned anger. "I knew it. There are so many women in this palace, and you have quite a few guards around you. How could it be... that you don't care about me at all?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Mu Junyao said sullenly, "I was just wondering how this Consort Shu, a woman deep in the palace, knew that there was something wrong with this stone."
"Perhaps it's just a coincidence?" Lai Shanzi asked rhetorically.
"I have a feeling this matter isn't so simple." Mu Junyao rubbed his lips with his hand. "I really underestimated this Consort Shu before. Ever since she gave birth to this daughter, she seems to have become quite intelligent."
"Even if she's incredibly clever, there aren't many of these poisonous stones in the entire Yuan Kingdom. How did she even recognize them?"
Lai Shanzi looked confused.
"Don't forget, her father is a general of the current dynasty, and her brother Lu Zhaofeng has also been fighting on the frontier for many years. Orpiment is not only a poisonous stone, but it can also be used in hidden weapons." Mu Junyao said thoughtfully.
"Alright." Lai Shanzi turned his face towards him: "Why are you thinking about other people in front of me? Don't you think about me at all?"
"You're driving me crazy every single day," Mu Junyao said, unable to resist pinching his cheek.
"Alright, forget about her being a concubine or empress. This is Lingyu Pavilion, and the two of us are the bosses here..."
"You slut."
A sly smile appeared on Mu Junyao's lips.

After passing through the provincial examination and the metropolitan examination, five students were finally selected to enter the palace examination.
Emperor Yuanwu arrived at Qiluan Garden early.
They carried the still-sleeping Mu Qianqian to the Golden Palace.
Throughout the imperial examinations of every dynasty, there have been instances of officials being sold off.
Even though he had made strict selections of commanders this year, from local officials to examiners, Emperor Yuanwu was still very uneasy and had an indescribable feeling.
He had learned quite a bit from listening to Mu Qianqian's inner thoughts.
at this time.
Although he didn't know if Mu Qianqian would tell him something in her heart.
Still clinging to a sliver of hope, he inexplicably picked her up.
Mu Qianqian was awakened by a noisy noise.
She was wondering to herself, "Who is this blind fool who came to Qiluan Garden to cause trouble so early in the morning?"
The first thing you see is the magnificent golden glazed tiles.
Mu Qianqian: ? ? ?
【who I am?】
Where am I?
Could it be that she simply took a nap and then soared into the Nine Realms?
That's not right!
Wasn't that Emperor Yuanwu's voice just now?
Could this be...?
