After lunch, Liulu had not come back yet. Shi Jingshu was too tired to settle the score and asked Chen Muqing to accompany her to take a nap. Although Chen Muqing was worried about Xiao Sa, he looked at the blue color under Shi Jingshu's eyelids and thought that she hadn't slept all night last night, so he felt very sorry. He smiled and rested in front of the kang next to the window.

Shortly after the two of them lay down, Shi Jingshu fell asleep. Chen Muqing opened her eyes and was not sleepy at all. Thinking of her nightmare yesterday, she felt sad... Just when she was feeling uncomfortable, she suddenly heard the sound of a small stone hitting the window.

Chen Muqing was stunned and calmed down and listened carefully.

Sure enough, someone used small stones to hit her window frame.

She quietly got up, put on her clothes and opened the window, and saw Chang Hui hanging like a bat swaying under the eaves.

Chen Muqing was startled: "What's wrong with you?"

Chang Hui pointed to the window: "I have something to tell you!"

When Chen Muqing heard this, he immediately whispered: "Come in through the gate! Miss Shi is still asleep on the kang!" As he said that, he looked at Shi Jingshu again. Seeing that she was sleeping well, he tiptoed to the main hall with her cloak.

Fortunately, Chen Muqing was not the kind of person who was arrogant. Because it was cold, no one was arranged to serve outside the door. Chang Hui fell silently from the eaves, and Chen Muqing lifted the curtain and let him enter the room.

"What's wrong?"

"Didn't Mr. Shen ask me to deliver the letter last night?" Chang Hui said with a smile, "I thought that Mr. Xiao's whereabouts were unknown, so I ran around outside the city."

Chen Muqing looked at Chang Hui's smiling face and a thought came up. She looked shocked: "Did you find Mr. Xiao's whereabouts?"

Chang Hui nodded with a smile: "The people of Feiyuwei brought the Supreme Emperor, Lord Wang, and Young Master Xiao and others who came back from Bahe to Xishan Camp."

Chen Muqing, the Xishan Camp, knew that there was the emperor's personal guards. Like the Feiyu Guard, they were all personally managed by the emperor. However, because of this, most of the officers and soldiers who worked there were meritorious children, and there were scandals of gathering people to cause trouble and jealousy.

Chen Muqing couldn't help but be happy when he heard this: "Xishan Camp is a famous fan camp. It's okay to pull it out and show off your power. I'm afraid it's a bit difficult for them to do some serious business. Isn't it that there is no intention of killing people today?"

Chang Hui smiled proudly: "It was originally there, but now the emperor chose Xishan Camp. This matter is probably going to be bad!"

Chen Muqing was stunned.

Chang Hui smiled with a smile: "When I touched Xishan Camp, it was already the third day. Except for a small courtyard in the south, there was light coming out, the rest of the places were pitch black. I touched the courtyard at that time. Don't say, I really found the right place. At that time, there were seven or eight people sitting in the side hall of the courtyard, all of whom were gorgeously dressed. When I heard that, I was either the deputy envoy of Xishan Camp or the assistant rank."

Chen Muqing nodded.

The people from Feiyuwei brought the Supreme Emperor to Xishan Camp. How could the people from Xishan Camp sleep?

"One of the old man said that no matter what the emperor means, the Supreme Emperor cannot die in the Xishan camp. Otherwise, he would be killed as a scapegoat and might even be splashed with dirty water. Everyone nodded when they heard this. When the old man saw it, he ordered a man named "Wang Tu" and asked him to take a few good men to the place where the emperor lives. He also said that Wang Tu would be delicious and delicious, and would be able to serve the Supreme Emperor respectfully. Without the imperial edict of the emperor, even if the Feiyu Guard commander came, he would not be able to take the person away."

Unexpectedly, things would develop like this, Chen Muqing was surprised and happy: "If you say so, are they all okay?"

"It's not just okay!" Chang Hui smiled, "I quietly followed Wang Tu to the Supreme Emperor's place. Seeing that Wang Tu not only gave a great gift to the Supreme Emperor, but also held the Supreme Emperor's legs and said a lot of flattery. He came out of the Supreme Emperor's house and asked someone to find a few beautiful maids to serve the Supreme Emperor?"

Chen Muqing heard it a little ridiculous: "Who has the heart to let the maid serve at this time?"

"Not." Chang Hui's eyes were full of smiles, "To be honest, the maids he found were really beautiful. However, the Supreme Emperor said that it was too hard to travel during this period and he returned all the people - I just took advantage of the opportunity to withdraw from the house."

"Then have you seen Xiao Sa?"

Chang Hui nodded: "Not only did I meet Mr. Xiao, but also the Supreme Emperor. You don't know, the Supreme Emperor was so happy to see me. I heard that Mr. Shen asked me to send a letter to someone, and he also asked me to bring a message to Mr. Shen, saying that he is great kindness and virtue, and I will never forget it forever - I am here to talk to Mr. Shen." Speaking of this, Chang Hui sighed, "If you can let the Supreme Emperor say this, Mr. Shen will have no regrets in his life, and his achievements will be fulfilled!"

I'm afraid that Chen Zhen doesn't think so.

"What glory does the Supreme Emperor say? If the Emperor says it is almost the same!"

"Master Shen may be the same as you think." Chang Hui said, "When I brought this to Master Shen, I didn't see that Master Shen was not very happy."

Chen Muqing smiled bitterly.

Thinking of Chen Zhen's attempt to cut off contact with Xiao Sa, she was very confused.

It is impossible to go against Chen Zhen’s wishes... But I think of Xiao Sa’s kindness to him - I feel sorry for giving up like this!

Chen Muqing decided not to think about these things for the time being and asked Chang Hui: "What's wrong with Xiao Sa and the others now?"

Chang Hui said: "It should be fine. When I came, Wang Tu was serving the Supreme Emperor for breakfast. The old man named Wang Tu was also there. He repeatedly assured the Supreme Emperor that without the imperial edict today, the Xishan Camp would definitely protect the Supreme Emperor's comprehensiveness."

"Then it all depends on the fact that the emperor is still ignoring his face!" Chen Muqing sighed and said to Chang Hui: "The master doesn't let me care about Xiao Sa anymore. It's not convenient for me to go out now. If you have news about Xiao Sa, come and tell me! Speaking of which, this matter has taken ninety-nine steps, I want to know what the last step will be like!"

Chang Hui nodded with a smile: "Don't worry. I'll tell you if there is any news."

*******

Chen Muqing had just sent Chang Hui away, and Liulu was back.

"...Master Xiao just returned to the inn and said that Mr. Xiao was locked up in Xishan Camp. I asked me to tell my aunt that he wanted to ask the master to come forward to do some things and see if Mr. Xiao is still alive!"

Chen Muqing was stunned.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhao knew where Xiao Sa was going so soon... It seems that he underestimated Xiao Zhao's ability.

Chen Muqing thought for a while and ordered Liulu: "You go and tell the master of the Xiao family, and then say that Mr. Xiao is fine for the time being. As for the future, no one can explain it clearly..."

Liulu left in response to the sound.

In the afternoon, Xiao Zhao came to visit Chen Zhen.

Chen Muqing thought of Chen Zhen’s attitude towards this matter, so she called Yingfen: “Go and see, what did Master Xiao say to him?”

Yingfen left in response.

Shi Jingshu, who was beside him, pondered: "Can you come to ask Uncle Shen to help me?"

Chen Muqing nodded: "Eight out of ten are like this!"

It took a while before Yingfen came back.

"Master Xiao begs our master to save Mr. Xiao, and said that no matter what the conditions are, the Xiao family will agree."

Shi Jingshu couldn't help but say, "What did Uncle Shen say?"

Ying Fan glanced at Chen Muqing and said, "The master said: I am just a scattered person at home, so I have no ability to take care of the affairs of the court... Master Xiao knelt in front of Lao Shen, kept kowtowing, and asked the master to come forward to save Mr. Xiao." As he said that, he looked at Chen Muqing with some timidity, "I looked at the master who was very angry at that time."

Shi Jingshu took a breath and said, "What should I do? Just now, Xiao Sa was shocked and the master of the Xiao family made a beg for another matter... When the two families meet, how can the Xiao family have any face?"

"Maybe this is exactly what the master is thinking." Chen Muqing's eyes darkened and his expression was a little dazed, "Maybe, the master is right!"

Shi Jingshu was stupid when she heard this, and her tone looked very emotional, and she said in a daze: "What's wrong?"

"Ah!" Chen Muqing smiled reluctantly at her, looking as if she was whitewashing the peace, "Nothing? Nothing?"

Shi Jingshu's face was full of confusion, but she was not easy to ask.

*******

Since then, Chen Muqing seemed to have figured out something, suddenly calmed down and returned to her previous calmness. She took the initiative to consult Manager Pang to discuss the New Year's Day in the shop, and went to Aunt Chen's place: "... Although it is not easy for the master to be polite to me, I am not that ignorant person." He also asked Yingfen to give Aunt Chen 500 taels of silver notes, "This is the money for the New Year."

Aunt Chen was stunned and took the silver note with a smile: "I'm going to tell you that since you ascended the throne, the master's salary has not fallen. It seems that it is coming to Laba, but no one from the Ministry of Internal Affairs informed us to receive the spring festival reward. I was thinking about how to spend this year, but my aunt gave the five hundred taels of silver."

Last time, Chen Muqing heard Aunt Chen vaguely mention that Chen Zhen had no salary, so he specially gave Aunt Chen 500 taels of silver to celebrate the New Year.

"Although the master is at home every day, he also has money to pay." Chen Muqing said implicitly, "If the aunt is tight, the master's future expenses will be my side. I have a tea shop to support it."

"How can that work?" Aunt Chen said hurriedly, "Don't worry, no matter who is short, no one can shorten the master."

Despite this, Chen Muqing still called Baimu: "If you want to buy something, if you don't have to pay for money, come here to get it!"

Baimu smiled and said, "My aunt is so worried. Now the master sells a calligraphy and painting for 500 taels of silver. How can there be a time when there is a shortage of money!"

"Is the master selling words?" Chen Muqing was stunned when he heard this.

Baimu whispered: "No. Sometimes someone comes to ask for it, and the master writes one."

Chen Muqing listened and went to Chen Zhen.

Chen Zhen is practicing calligraphy.

Chen Muqing's eyes became wet as he looked at him.

She walked over and polished Chen Zhen ink.

Seeing her look unhappy, Chen Zhen thought she was doing it for Xiao Sa, and said in a deep voice: "If you feel depressed at home, just move to Baizhifang to live!"

Chen Muqing looked at Chen Zhen: "Didn't you say it's not safe for me to live alone in Baizhifang? I want to live at home."

Chen Zhen raised his eyebrows.
