Chapter 12: Unstable Court



Hulala!

The table and chairs were overturned on the ground.

The attic was pounding with the sound of messy footsteps.

Just think about how chaotic the situation is upstairs next door right now.

Hearing the screams from upstairs, Li Mu became even more excited.

He floated to another busy place, lit the firecracker in his hand and threw it in.

Jump~

The deafening sound arose again.

The sound of firecrackers spread farther and farther in the quiet night.

Many men and women in the building ran out of their rooms.

A few people ran wrapped in blankets.

More men and women ran out wrapped in thin clothes.

"Alas! It's a pity it's winter. If it were summer, there would be something interesting to watch."

If it weren't cold.

It is estimated that the distinguished person in front of this group of people would not think that he has no clothes on.

More than a dozen firecrackers were set off.

Several of them were duds.

After a dozen firecrackers were fired, the entire Yihong Building was filled with noise.

Even the street next door was filled with people watching the fun.

At this time, Li Mu had already run to the Kyoto city wall to sign in.

"Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in at the city wall. You will be rewarded with a copy of The Art of War."

Well!

This time the reward is actually a military strategy, and it is in book form.

It was a wasted trip.

The happiness that I just felt in Yihonglou disappeared in an instant.

On the way back to the palace, I passed by Yihong Tower.

I saw countless armored warriors surrounding the Red Building, and many constables were coming and going in the Red Building.

"Why haven't they left yet?"

In the yard two miles behind, a girl was standing alone in the yard.

At a loss.

This girl was the kidnapped girl that Li Mu had rescued from the dungeon before.

"Why don't you leave?"

Li Mu appeared in front of the girl.

"Are you a benefactor?"

"Um!"

Li Mu nodded.

"Where can I go at this hour of night?"

"Where are your parents?"

"How can a girl like me who has been here have the face to see my parents?"

"If you don't want to see your parents, where else can you go?"

Plop.

The girl suddenly knelt down in front of Li Mu.

"Please take me in, benefactor."

"This... I can't take anyone in in my situation."

I am still a eunuch.

"Please, I can clean out the shit and piss, I can warm the bed. If you don't save me, I'll die if I go back."

The girl kept kowtowing.

Li Mu wanted to cruelly abandon her.

He had also seen this girl's fiery temper.

Or bring her back to the palace and let her accompany Concubine Jing for some time.

When we find a good place to go, we'll send her out.

Anyway, no outsiders will enter Jingning Palace, so it is not easy to be discovered.

With a palace maid there, at least he was free.

"Um, are you going to the palace?"

Returning to Concubine Jing's bedroom, he added some charcoal to the brazier.

Then check the roof ventilation.

Li Mu eventually sent the girl to the Ninth Prince's residence and gave him some pointers.

Bringing that girl into the palace is too unrealistic. If I'm not careful, I'll be exposed.

When he was sent to the Ninth Prince, no one knew his specific identity.

The next day, Li Mu heard many eunuchs in the palace discussing the explosion in Kyoto last night.

"I didn't expect that this matter would reach the palace?"

Continuing to eavesdrop made Li Mu feel a chill.

His momentary prank actually alarmed the emperor.

The entire Daxia court was in action.

Half of the morning court session was spent discussing the explosion at Yihonglou last night.

Because of the explosion, Yihonglou was closed.

This is good news.

But the rumors that followed made Li Mu lose the mood to play anymore.

"The current emperor is unjust, and thunder struck the capital. Many people heard it that night."

"Yeah! He relied on slaughtering brothers to rise to power. God should have struck him down long ago."

Then the rumors among the people became more and more serious.

In the court, the emperor threw several memorials in succession.

"Asshole, if I catch the mastermind behind this, I will wipe out his entire clan."

In the following days, Li Mu settled down into peace.

I didn’t get any good rewards from signing in, and my cultivation was stuck.

The trees in the yard are bare, so it's impossible to kill time by sweeping the floor.

When he turned around, he would stare at Concubine Jing.

Until one day, a delicate and pretty little girl came into Jingning Palace.

The girl was about two years old, chubby, and looked like she had just learned to walk.

When they saw the little girl for the first time, Li Mu and Concubine Jing's eyes lit up.

Finally, an outsider came to the cold palace.

Still a little cutie.

"Come, come to your aunt."

The little girl was not afraid of strangers at all, and she staggered towards Concubine Jing.

Soon laughter was heard in the yard.

After a long time, a nearby palace maid found Jingning Palace and led the girl away.

The little girl was never seen again for the next two days.

"I didn't expect this little girl to be a princess."

Li Mu asked around and found out that the girl was the emperor's daughter.

Not a legitimate child.

The third prince had it when he was outside the palace.

"Pitiful Lady Zhen, I didn't expect her to become our neighbor."

Inside the palace, Concubine Jing looked out the window.

His eyes seemed to be expecting something.

Li Mu knew that Concubine Jing was waiting for the little girl to appear again.

Although Concubine Zhen was of low status and unpopular, she was not well-received.

That is also a noble person.

She is much better than Concubine Jing who lives in the cold palace.

"My lady, I have a bamboo flute and a guqin here. I'm sure the little girl will like their beautiful sounds."
