Chapter 318
Mu Wan didn't fall into a deep sleep, and when she sensed someone, she opened her eyes and immediately pulled out a dagger, ready to stab it. When she found out that it was Chu Bei, she breathed a sigh of relief, "So it's the queen."

Chu Bei looked at the dagger in her hand, and twitched his eyebrows, "Since when did the emperor hide a dagger under his pillow?"

I know that she will carry a dagger with her, usually hidden in her boots, and she will also hide a soft sword in her waist when she goes out.

These must-have weapons for self-defense are harmless.

But what he didn't expect was that she was still hiding the dagger under the pillow.

Is this used to guard against him?

Thinking of this, Chu Bei's mood fell to the bottom in an instant, and his heart felt as if stuffed with grass.

Just now she was still acting like a baby in front of him, the girl was shy, and her attitude was not soft. For a moment, he thought that he was about to turn over like a salty fish, but who knew... In a blink of an eye, he was back to his original form. Looking at the delicate dagger in her hand, Chu Bei I just feel panicked.

Mu Wan frowned, and quickly put away the dagger, a cunning flashed in her eyes, she would not tell him that the dagger was hidden under the pillow to prevent him from climbing her dragon bed in the middle of the night.

"Have you finished reading the queen's excerpt so quickly?"

"No, Su Ran was assassinated and injured, and his life is dying." Sitting beside the bed, Chu Bei said depressedly.

"Su Ran was assassinated? Who wants to kill him?" Mu Wan's tone was surprised, but she didn't expect that Su Ran has never offended anyone, except for opening a hot pot restaurant, which is very popular and attracts people's attention. She couldn't think of another reason Su Ran will be assassinated.

Chu Bei looked at her, and said in a slightly cold voice, "I guess it's because of the daytime incident that Zhou Ruolan went mad and paid for murder."

When he said that, Mu Wan immediately guessed that Zhou Ruolan would definitely do this, "So how is Su Ran doing now?"

The killer thought that the person in the carriage was "Master Su's Cousin", so Su Ran was almost assassinated and died because of her involvement.

Mu Wan felt very sorry, she was the one who got Su Ran involved.

Chu Bei held her hand and comforted him, "Don't worry, with Fu Si here, he will be fine."

Su Ran's martial arts are not weak, but he was unprepared for a while and unfortunately got injured.

"Well, are you sure Zhou Ruolan bribed the people in Tingyulou to kill him?" Mu Wan lowered her eyes and said angrily.

"I'm investigating. I believe there will be results soon. These are all my conjectures, but it's probably her."

Mu Wan snorted softly, "Who else is there besides her?"

During the day at the hot pot restaurant, she just teased her a little, and she was about to kill someone to vent her anger. She is really a vicious woman.

Chu Bei's eyes flashed slightly, and he remembered another thing, so he said to her, "She will also enter the palace in this draft, and Prince Li plans to choose her."

Mu Wan suddenly raised her eyes with a trace of surprise, "Isn't Prince Li planning to marry the Ninth Princess of Nanliang, trying to win over Nanliang forces?"

Chu Bei sneered, "He wants to win over the Nanliang forces, but if the capital still has forces that can compete with the four major families, do you think Prince Li will go far away?"

The Grand Tutor's Mansion is also a big force in the capital. Old Grand Tutor Zhou has been in the court for half his life.

In addition, Zhou Ruolan is the beloved disciple of the old owner of the Medicine King Valley, and the power of the Medicine King Valley cannot be underestimated among the four major kingdoms.

And Zhao Shisan has been hanging on the appetite of several princes, and has not agreed to any party.

After weighing the pros and cons, Prince Li naturally chose the Zhou family decisively.

Mrs. Zhou Fu has always been low-key, steady, scheming, and has always chosen to endure. She has never been easily involved in the struggle for imperial power. This time, she may also plan to stand in line.

Mu Wan supported her forehead silently, regretting that she hadn't considered comprehensively before, and deliberately left out the Zhou family. She didn't expect that a single move by the emperor could completely change the state of mind of the courtiers, let alone that the Zhou family had such abilities. Chaozhong behaved in a low-key and calm manner, and never revealed it easily. In fact, they were cunning and cunning. They did it on purpose. They just didn't want to attract her attention, so they could protect themselves wisely.

"There is no need to blame yourself. From the very beginning, the Zhou family did not choose the emperor loyally. The old matriarch Zhou pretended not to help each other and acted in a low-key manner. He will choose whoever benefits the Zhou family the most. You deliberately snubbed the Zhou family, but it was just a small trigger. "Chu Bei analyzed it for her.

Mu Wan nodded, feeling that this was true, she and Zhou Ruolan had too much grudges, and based on this alone, the Zhou family would not sincerely support her.

"You don't need to worry about this matter. Prince Li wants to marry Zhou Ruolan, and I pray that the Prince will not allow them to do so. We don't need to do anything about this matter. We just need to secretly contribute to the flames and watch them bite dogs."

Mu Wan nodded again, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "The queen is right, you are really my good wife."

This trick is still more handy for him to play.

Chu Bei: "..."

...

The next day, it happened to be a rest, so there was no need to go to court, and the academy was also on holiday.

Early in the morning, a group of people surrounded the Royal Racecourse.

It's a pity that most of them don't have tickets and can only wait and see at the door.

Looking at those people who went in with tickets, I don't know how enviable it is.

30 taels of admission ticket is really not expensive, but unfortunately there are too few places.

On this day, Fu Si entered the palace to diagnose Ning Xinyao's injuries.

After Mu Wan changed her clothes and came to the side hall, Ning Xinyao said with a hint of expectation in her eyes, "Cousin, my injury has recovered. If you don't believe me, you can ask Miracle Doctor Fu."

Fu Si looked at the little girl eagerly looking at himself, and twitched the corners of his lips, "Well, there's nothing wrong with it."

When he said that, Mu Wan didn't stop her from going to the racecourse, "Then let's go out of the palace together, and after two days you can ride a horse, I'll take you to Qinglong Mountain."

Ning Xinyao nodded, showing a happy smile in an instant, expressing her gratitude to Fu Si, then she got up, changed her clothes and went out of the palace together.

Mu Wan arranged for Fu Si to be her bodyguard for a day today, and Ning Xinyao was in the same carriage as Fu Si.

The Empress got into the carriage.

Chu Bei smiled and said, "The emperor wants to draw a red line for Fu Si and Ning Xinyao?"

Now the owner of Medicine King Valley is Fu Si, if he marries Ning Xinyao, he will be her cousin-in-law. With this kind of relationship, Medicine King Valley will naturally become a force in her hands, supporting and supporting her.

However, since the establishment of Medicine King Valley, it has never been under the control of any royal family. It is not easy to win over Medicine King Valley.

Mu Wan raised her eyebrows and said, "It depends on whether Yao'er likes it or not."

She wanted to win over Yao Wanggu, but she would not sacrifice Ning Xinyao's lifelong happiness. Even if Fu Si wanted to marry, if Ning Xinyao was unwilling, she would not agree.

Chu Bei's eyes flashed, and he asked, "If Fu Si doesn't like it, but Ning Xinyao likes it, will the emperor forcefully grant them marriages?"

Ning Xinyao is her cousin, because she always feels indebted to the Ning family in her heart, so she loves Ning Xinyao very much.

She is an empress, whoever she wants to treat well, if she is overbearing, often a decree can make Ning Xinyao fulfill her wish.
