Boss Su's eyes scanned the passers-by with a firm tone.

Chen Mu curled his lips and said nothing, looking at Su Qiaoer, who was bored to stretch his waist to practice.

The girl in a green pink dress seemed to be practicing a body-building technique, with her expression focused, and her waist, like a thin willow, twisted into an amazing flexible curve.

"This waist is really a snake's waist."

Chen Mu licked his lips and secretly admired him. He had practiced one hundred and eight moves that could not be expressed in words in his mind.

Just as I was enjoying the viewing, Boss Su came back and sat in front of him.

Chen Mu quickly sat upright, looking straight without looking sideways, showing a gentleman look.

"Does he tell you anything else?" Boss Su asked.

Other things...

Chen Mu fell into memories.

After coming out of the tomb, Hong Zhifan took the initiative to find him, and the two of them talked about something.

For example, the Hong family tragedy back then.

At that time, Ji Zhonghai was the one who surrounded the Hong family with a group of masters. His purpose was very simple, to keep the secret of the "Living Dead Gu" alone and kill the prince.

That is the stupid child who was fostered by a mysterious man in the Hong family.

In fact, Hong Zhifan himself was not sure whether the silly child was the prince.

The mysterious man left his child at their home and did not cry or make a fuss, just like a puppet.

It is normal to eat, drink, sleep, but it is like losing your soul.

Later, Ji Zhonghai came to encircle and suppress the enemy. He and his wife wanted to rush out with their daughter and the fool, but were intercepted and killed halfway.

When his life was critical, it was his wife who saved his life with his natal soul.

But the daughter and the silly boy disappeared.

During these days when he was disguised as Hong Dalang, in addition to planning revenge, he also secretly searched for traces of his daughter, but unfortunately there was no news.

"Before the case of Pingyang Prince's Mansion was solved, he had some plans, so he kept Lin Mengyuan lurking beside Ji Kou."

Chen Mu said lightly. "It's just that I've disrupted it. And he had a very scary guess during the secret investigation, but it has not been confirmed at present, and Ji Zhonghai can't confirm it again after his death."

"What guess?" Boss Su asked curiously.

Chen Mu pulled the stool forward and lowered his voice: "Prince Yuan had only one wife back then, and the couple was extremely loving, but they never had children. The princess also proposed to let Prince Yuan take a concubine several times, but Prince Yuan did not agree.

Although he did not take a concubine, at the request of the princess, Prince Yuan still found two women to have a husband and wife relationship and wanted a child, but unfortunately he failed.

Afterwards, many miraculous doctors were found, and they guessed that Prince Yuan was unable to give birth."

Boss Su's eyes burst out with energy.

He opened his mouth and said hoarsely: "In other words, the child born by Princess Yuan in the end, that is, the current emperor, may have something to do with Ji Zhonghai?"

"It's hard to say."

Chen Mu shook his head. "I have been thinking that Ji Zhonghai's behavior is obviously a delusional dream of becoming the emperor, but how much capital does he have to sit on the dragon throne after he is resurrected?

Even though he still has followers of faith in the border, he even bribed many officials in the capital. Even if he killed the empress dowager, it was not so easy to become the emperor.

Unless, he can turn the current emperor into a puppet, and he is controlled behind the scenes.

You should know that this is a world where monsters are rampant. You can make a big fuss between father and son, get some Gu and so on..."

Chen Mu clicked until the end and did not continue talking.

Although there are no listeners around now, some topics are still appropriate.

Mr. Su said: "Have you told Zhuque Envoy about this?"

Chen Mu shook his head: "After all, it's just a gossip. If I were to say it, Hong Zhifan would have said it long ago. Now Ji Zhonghai is dead, everything is meaningless. Don't the empress dowager understand the meaning? Ji Zhonghai had already passed away fifteen years ago."

Boss Su laughed: "Although I don't understand some politics in the court, I think that even if you tell the Queen Mother, she will pretend that nothing happened."

"That's true."

Chen Mu laughed. "After all, in name, the emperor is her son, not Prince Yuan's son."

When the late emperor brought the baby out of Prince Yuan’s mansion, he had already cut off his relationship with Prince Yuan, so there was no need to investigate this gossip after Ji Zhonghai’s death.

"This time you have broken the case of the Pingyang Palace, which has made great contributions. How do you think the emperor will reward you?"

Boss Su asked curiously.

Su Qiaoer, who was practicing physical exercises on the other side, came up and said with a smile: "Or, if you go and ask the emperor for ten beauties, he will definitely give it."

"Haha, am I that kind of person?"

Chen Mu sneered. "To put it bluntly, I, Chen, have never been a person who is greedy for beauty. Not to mention ten beauties, even one hundred beauties, I don't even look at them. I am a serious person."

"Tsk, who believes you are a serious person?"

Su Qiaoer glanced blankly.

Looking at the little girl's rosy lips, Chen Mu originally wanted to tease her for a few words, but glanced at her father-in-law and had to give up and said seriously:

"It's a bit difficult. I haven't been in Beijing for a long time. It's a bit unrealistic to suddenly become an official. And the most important thing is that I'm on two boats. If I really win the title of the high-ranking official, I'll probably be impeached and killed the next day. So, at most, it's some rewards such as gold."

As he was speaking, Wang Fafa's voice came from outside the door: "Sir!"

"What's wrong."

Chen Mu asked as he looked at Wang Fafa running in panting.

"Rised!Rised!"

Wang Fafa's face was full of excitement.

Chen Mu was stunned: "Who gave birth to him?"

Wang Fafa was happy and said, "Sir, you have been promoted."

“…”

Chen Mu's mouth twitched twice, and he almost slapped him. I gave birth to you!

He stood up and said, "I'm going to receive the order."

——

Fengyuan Palace.

The Empress Dowager, who had finished practicing calligraphy, sat at the table and enjoyed tea leisurely.

Soon, a female official came hurriedly, knelt on the ground, and presented a secret letter.

"The Queen Mother, there is news."

"Oh, it seems that Your Majesty has already considered how to reward your husband."

The Empress Dowager took the secret letter, waved her hand to signal the female official to retreat, and smiled at Bai Xianyu. "Guess, how old has he been promoted?"

Bai Xianyu pursed her pink lips and thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be promoted."

"Wrong."

The Empress Dowager opened the secret letter, raised her eyebrows slightly, and smiled like a flower. "Your husband was promoted to the chief of the Six Gates, and Leng Tianying was transferred elsewhere. He would also say that in the future, your husband had the final say."

Bai Xianyu was stunned.

She frowned and carefully considered His Majesty's intention.

"in addition……"

The Empress Dowager had a playful smile on the corner of her lips. "Your Majesty also rewarded your husband with two beauties."

Bai Xianyu was stunned and speechless: "Your Majesty..."

"He is a child's character after all, and he just wants to disgust you couple."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Then guess, do you want your husband?"

"Chen Mu dared not resist the order."

Bai Xianyu picked up the teacup and drank a sip of the slightly bitter tea, but his eyes were filled with resentment. "And he is not a serious person either."

"... Then you guessed it wrong, he refused."

The Empress Dowager smiled sweetly.

Hearing this, Bai Xianyu breathed a little relieved, and a small curve was slightly raised at the corner of her lips. Suddenly, she felt that the tea in her mouth was no longer bitter.

"But he wanted ten beauties."

"puff--"
