However, without waiting for the queen to come up with any countermeasures, Emperor Chu had already directly made a decree to the prince who was still in the Big Buddha Temple.

It is to let the prince go to the imperial tomb to sweep the land for a year, and then his will is urgent, and there is no room for redemption.

By the time the queen thought of a way, everything was already a foregone conclusion.

In this way, the prince didn't even have a chance to show up in front of Emperor Chu to plead a word, and was directly sent to the imperial tomb to sweep the floor.

No matter how powerful the queen is, it is impossible for her to really fight against Emperor Chu clearly; Moreover, the prince still issued a holy decree on this matter.

"Well, let him go there and reflect on it."

After a helpless sigh, the queen's cold face was not too disappointed. Many things are shared with gains and losses.

The crown prince was sent to the imperial tomb by a holy decree of Emperor Chu, and his power in the capital would naturally be slowly eaten by others.

However, these did not affect Mu Xiaofeng's good mood in the Big Buddha Temple.

Isn't what the queen relies on is the connections and power of the Li family, and the hope of the prince to ascend the throne in the future?

She just wants to take it step by step, from the hands of the queen, let the queen watch how she dismantles these powers and turns their hopes into despair.

It seems that Mufu, which is calm, exploded on a peaceful afternoon.

And the thing that made the people in the Mu Mansion turn their backs was that the old lady suddenly fell ill. It's still a menacing situation, and it's almost unconscious when you get sick at once.

Moreover, the hour when she suddenly fell ill was still at night. It just so happened that Ji Yuan went back to her parents' house, so this big night was to ask the doctor and grab medicine.

After a night of fuss, I barely settled down.

Mu Tianda did not take leave in advance, he was busy all night, although he was tired, sleepy and worried, he still had to go to the court in the early morning.

In the morning, Mu Tianda listened absentmindedly, but fortunately there was nothing wrong with him, so he barely held his spirit and heard the end.

However, just when Emperor Chu should ask his chamberlain to announce his retirement from the court, he glanced at the hall as if intentionally or unintentionally, and then his unclear gaze was fixed on Mu Tianda, and he seemed to be slightly surprised and asked, "Mu Shangshu looks in poor spirits, is he sick?" ”

Mu Tianda, whose eyelids were fighting, suddenly heard Emperor Chu's humane care, and for a moment he was so frightened that all the sleepy insects ran away.

He hurriedly bowed his hand respectfully, and said gratefully, "Your Majesty Xie cares, the minister is not sick, but something happened to my mother last night." ”

As for what happened, Emperor Chu didn't ask. This kind of private matter, he should not have been brought to the Jinluan Palace to publicize it.

However, Emperor Chu pondered for a while, and said unexpectedly again, "It turns out that Old Lady Mu is sick, and I will ask the imperial doctor to come to the house to take a look later." ”

Emperor Chu said these words in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, for Mu Tianda, it was a gift.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long."

Emperor Chu nodded, and then announced his retreat.

The king of a country, what everyone says, is naturally what he says.

Not long after Mu Tianda returned to the mansion, he heard that there was an imperial doctor in the palace who had been ordered to come to see Mrs. Mu.

What Mu Tianda didn't expect was that the chief attendant beside Emperor Chu would go to his mansion with the imperial doctor.

Mu Tianda asked the imperial doctor to be welcomed to Suxi Hall to see the old lady, and he personally came out to receive Du Hai.

"Gonggong Du, but what else does Your Majesty command?"

Du Hai's white face smiled kindly, and he glanced at Mu Tianda meaninglessly before he smiled and said, "Your Majesty said that there is no one in the house to help take care of it, and Mu Shangshu is really hard." ”

Mu Tianda's heart sank when he heard this, isn't His Majesty still dead? What stepfamily do you have to force him to marry?

Du Hai glanced at him quietly and lowered his eyelids, as if he didn't notice that his face was not good, and said slowly, "Miss Mu Xiaofeng is a filial child, if she is in the mansion to help, Mu Shangshu should be much easier." ”

Mu Tianda's heart moved, and he was a little incredulous thoughtfully, "Du's father-in-law? ”

Du Hai glanced at him and chuckled again, "Your Majesty is sympathetic to Mu Shangshu, and especially allows Young Master Mu to personally take Imperial Doctor Liu to the Big Buddha Temple, and show Miss Mu by the way." ”

This was said casually, but Mu Tianda did not dare to ignore it.

Emperor Chu asked the most powerful chief chamberlain around him to go through this experience personally, and it would never be as simple as Du Hai said on the surface.

Du Hai brought the words, and then said goodbye and went back to the palace, as for the imperial doctor Liu who came with him, in addition to seeing the old lady, he also had to wait to go to the Big Buddha Temple with Mu Shaoxuan.

Seeing Du Hai away, Mu Tianda turned around and asked people to call Mu Shaoxuan to the study of Yazhu Courtyard.

"Dad, are you looking for me?" As soon as he entered the study, Mu Shaoxuan saw his father standing with a slightly sad face, and his heart couldn't help but tense slightly.

"Shaoxuan is here," Mu Tianda looked up at him, and nodded to the chair next to him lightly, "Sit down and talk." ”

Mu Shaoxuan sat down across the bookcase from him, "What does Dad command?" ”

Mu Tianda glanced at him and quickly told him what Du Hai had left.

At the end, he said, "According to the hint in Du's words, it is for you to bring the imperial doctor to the Big Buddha Temple in person." ”

He paused, his face inexplicably became a little solemn, "I'm afraid that Your Majesty means that you want to take Xiaoxiao back to the house in person." ”

At this time, a holy decree similar to an oral metaphor was issued to Mu Shaoxuan to bring Xiaoxiao back, which was really intriguing.

Whether Mu Xiaofeng's illness has been cured or not, Mu Tianda is clear in his heart.

It is estimated that Emperor Chu's heart is also as bright as snow, so he directly asked Mu Shaoxuan to take the imperial doctor there.

As long as the imperial doctor diagnoses Mu Xiaofeng's illness, Mu Shaoxuan takes Mu Xiaofeng back to serve his filial piety in front of the old lady, it is a matter of course.

Thinking of this, Mu Tianda's heart was inexplicably heavy.

The old lady's illness was menacing, but the disease came strangely, and the doctor's diagnosis was not a serious illness, only that it needed to be recuperated slowly.

Mu Shaoxuan pondered for a while before he said, "Dad, it's useless for us to guess here, since this is Your Majesty's intention, I'll personally go to the Big Buddha Temple." ”

Although Mu Tianda couldn't figure out the intention of Emperor Chu's move, since Emperor Chu's attitude was out, they had to do it.

"Imperial Doctor Liu is still in the mansion now, you can prepare it immediately, and then set off for the Big Buddha Temple."

When Mu Shaoxuan took the imperial doctor to the Big Buddha Temple, it was almost dusk.

Mu Xiaofeng suddenly knew the news, and was very surprised for a moment, "Brother...... Brought the Imperial Doctor to see me? ”

Of course, Mu Shaoxuan sent someone to send her a message secretly, hoping that she could know in advance and deal with it.

Since it was almost dinner time, Chu Lige was also in her small courtyard.

In the future, Mu Xiaofeng looked at the brocade-clothed man sitting quietly with a scroll in his hand suspiciously, "What do you think about this?" ”

The old woman who was a demon in the house was sick, and this news did not surprise Mu Xiaofeng.

Because she was too lazy to bother her brain, she was thinking about using this as an excuse to go home later.

However, before she could make a move, someone seemed to have insight into her intentions and took the first step.

This was not what made her feel uneasy, what she felt was wrong was the strange attitude of the Chu Emperor who sent the imperial doctor to come to the Great Buddha Temple with her brother.

"They shot." Chu Lige raised his eyes and looked at her lightly, and his cold voice was extremely slow.

Mu Xiaofeng's heart jumped, and his brows couldn't help but twist, "You said they?" Who with whom? ”

But after asking this, she looked at the unnatural look of the man next to her, and her heart seemed to suddenly open up.

"Your Majesty and the Empress?" Her tone was very soft, but her clear gaze was very cold, "Do you know why they are united? ”

Chu Lige didn't speak, just stared at her motionless with deep eyes.

The girl's pretty face gradually warmed up, but it slowly cooled down after a while. Not only is the temperature on the face cold, but it is also a heart, and there is also a feeling of pulling out the cold.

She knows that the two people have been married for decades, and they respect each other on the surface; In fact, Emperor Chu was jealous of the queen and the Li family, and he was increasingly jealous.

Now those two people would unexpectedly join forces against her, which only shows one thing.

Just this one thing was enough to pour the temperature of her whole person cold.

"I'm sorry." The man's lips opened slightly, and although he was apologetic, his gaze at her remained steadfast and unwavering.

It was he who caused her! However, he will never let go.

Mu Xiaofeng only thought silently for a while, then slowly smiled, "It has nothing to do with you." ”

The undying hostile relationship between her and the queen was not caused by him, nor was it because of him that he made the situation she is today.

As for Emperor Chu, it hasn't been a day or two since the high-ranking Ninety-Five Venerable wanted to get rid of her.

Maybe the original intention had something to do with him, but the rest of the story probably deviated from the original direction a long time ago.

Aside from the most noble status, that man is probably just out of his father's desire to protect his children.

It's a pity that Mu Xiaofeng didn't know that Chu Lige and Emperor Chu, the father and son, secretly had a son-mother cup, so she didn't have any resentment towards Emperor Chu in her heart.

Regardless of whether the two in the palace were unintentionally or intentionally united, the matter of letting her return to the house now have to be treated with caution.

"I'll go to the front and pick up my brother." She rubbed her forehead, put the doubts down for a moment, and stood up to look at him.

Chu Lige thought for a moment, and then stood up, "I'm with you." ”

Walking out side by side with her, the indifferent and vaguely complex eyes fell quietly on her delicate shoulders.

If the old man in the palace didn't want to die early, it was best not to forget what he had said before.

Seeing Mu Xiaofeng and Chu Lige appear in the front hall together, Mu Shaoxuan was indeed surprised and surprised. And Imperial Doctor Liu, who came with him, saw His Highness Bingshan protecting Mu Xiaofeng like a perfect patron saint, and his heart couldn't help but jump wildly, "Your Highness the Emperor Li." ”

Chu Lige glanced at him indifferently, waved his hand, and turned his gaze to Mu Shaoxuan.

Mu Xiaofeng had already gone directly, so he turned his bright eyes and looked at him quietly, and then said softly in distress, "Brother has lost weight." ”

Mu Shaoxuan saw his sister who had been separated for a long time, and his eyes were faintly filled with pity, "It's not thin, it's strong." ”

"Brother, let's go to the yard where I live first." Mu Xiaofeng couldn't help but say, tilting his head and staring at him with bright eyes.

Mu Shaoxuan looked at Imperial Doctor Liu, then nodded and said softly, "Okay." ”

The brother and sister took advantage of this journey to walk together, and talked softly about the situation after a while.

Because the time was just in time, Mu Xiaofeng simply left Imperial Doctor Liu to eat together. After dinner, Imperial Doctor Liu didn't dare to forget the holy will, and proposed to see Mu Xiaofeng for a pulse.

A diagnosis confirmed that Mu Xiaofeng had stayed in the Big Buddha Temple for so many days, and the disease had indeed recovered. Then, it was logical to say the hint of Emperor Chu.

After seeing the consultation, Imperial Doctor Liu naturally couldn't stay in Mu Xiaofeng's courtyard anymore, and because Mu Shaoxuan was his brother and Chu Lige was by his side, he didn't have to shy away from it.

After sending Imperial Doctor Liu away from afar, Mu Shaoxuan looked at Chu Lige next to him with some hesitation, and only after catching a glimpse of the girl bowing her head at him did he say solemnly, "Xiaoxiao, my father and I both think this matter is a little weird, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Even her brother and father could see that Emperor Chu was uneasy and kind, how could she not see the strangeness inside. However, even if she vaguely guessed something, it would not be easy to say it directly to Mu Shaoxuan.

According to his brother's rigorous temperament, it would be better to have unfounded speculation and not to say anything to him.

Moreover, there are some things that come out without any benefit at all, except for increasing his brother's worries and troubles.

The girl was silent, but she raised her smile and said coquettishly, "Brother has thought about it a lot, maybe Your Majesty is just pity for Daddy's hard work, so he gave this gift." ”

Her eyes flickered, her long eyelashes firmly covered the cold light under her eyes, but the smile on her face became brighter and softer, "Doesn't my brother want to take me home?" ”

"Xiaoxiao," Mu Shaoxuan looked at her with pity, and accentuated his tone hard, "I am your brother, and it is my responsibility and obligation to protect your peace and happiness." ”

So, don't take everything on yourself, brother is afraid, too heavy a burden will weigh on your delicate shoulders, and one day it will crush you.

We have lost our mother, and my brother cannot bear to lose you again.

Chu Lige, who had been silent, suddenly turned his eyes, glanced at him with a strange expression, and suddenly stared at the girl, and said lightly, "He is a man." ”

A man should have the quality of standing up to the sky.

Under the burning gaze of the two, the girl had to sigh in compromise, "Okay, brother, I'll be honest." ”

"The prince came to the Great Buddha Temple some time ago to worship on behalf of His Majesty, do you know this?"

Mu Shaoxuan frowned, and although he looked suspicious, he finally nodded, "I've heard about this, and I also heard that there was an accident on the last night. ”

Mu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly when she heard this, she was afraid that her family would be worried about the burning of the Hall of Eternal Life that night, so she concealed it and did not report it.

At this moment, hearing her brother's understatement tone, she didn't know how to describe her mood.

But there was one thing, at this time, she had to .......
