After about two pillars of incense, the bird flew back, and a moment later, Jin Xing appeared in Dongfangdu's dormitory. Jin Xing, who was dressed in a white suit, didn't wait for Dongfang Du to speak, and knelt down on one knee and said: "Master, my subordinates and Jin Yan followed Madame out of Fengqing Palace, and found that she went to the emperor's imperial study. Because there are many secret guards around the imperial study, his subordinates and Jinyan have guarded the imperial study from afar, and they have not seen their wife come out until now. ”

Hearing this, Dongfang Du frowned, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Has my father ever left the imperial study?" "Dark Cloud left about the hour, and now it's not time, nearly four hours, what can you say about staying in the imperial study?

Jin Xing thought about it for a while, shook his head, and said: "Back to the master, the emperor has never left the imperial study, and lunch is directly passed to the imperial study. "The imperial study is the place where Emperor Qianwen deals with the affairs of the ministers and discusses, and it is rare to eat in such a strict place, at most he will only eat some pastries and drink some hot tea when he is hungry, and today he actually eats there unusually?

"Sincerely, you go back and continue to guard the imperial study with Jinyan, and come back every hour to report the situation." After Dongfang Du finished speaking, he waved his hand again and said, "I'd better go to the imperial study in person." "Emperor Qianwen knows her relationship with Dark Cloud, and since he knows that Dark Cloud is in the imperial study, why don't you go there in person.

――

After leaving, Dongfang Du took Banlan to the imperial study.

As soon as I stepped into the study, I saw Dark Cloud sitting on the side. When Dark Cloud saw Dongfangdu, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he smiled shallowly, causing Dongfangdu to be stunned for a while, and he even forgot to do it. Hearing Emperor Qianwen's light cough, he came back to his senses, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Erchen to see his father, long live my father, long live long live my father." ”

"Why are you here now?" Emperor Qianwen looked at Dongfang Du who was kneeling on the ground, and glanced at the dark clouds.

Why are you here now? Dongfang Du looked at Emperor Qianwen in confusion, not knowing what he meant. When I learned that Yun'er was in the imperial study, I rushed over directly, is it too late?

Dark Cloud, who had been sitting obediently on the side, saw Dongfang Du's stunned expression, got up and walked to her side, turned around and knelt side by side with her, and said to Emperor Qianwen: "Your Majesty, when your subordinates left in the morning, they didn't tell His Highness where he went. She was afraid that Emperor Qianwen would find out about the dark wind and it would be unfavorable to her, so how could she dare to tell her whereabouts.

It's just that Emperor Qianwen summoned her to the imperial study, and didn't ask anything related to the secret guard, but asked all about her and Dongfangdu. In the words, it also revealed the meaning of letting Dongfang Du leave the palace and go to the fiefdom.

Emperor Qianwen shook his head when he heard Dark Cloud's explanation, but he still didn't let Dongfang Du get up, but asked with a faint sadness: "Du'er, do you really dislike the palace?" ”

In the past few days, Emperor Qianwen has been thinking about the appointment of the new prince, and wants to set up his second son Dongfang Du as the new prince, but he thinks that she has been sent to Wuya Mountain because of her poor health since she was a child, and after returning to the palace, her words and deeds also show her yearning for the rivers and lakes, and she dispelled the idea of making her the prince.

After some consideration, it was decided to appoint the third son, Dongfang Xu, as the new prince. As for the eldest princess Dongfang Lingwu, he never thought of setting up a woman as the crown prince.

Dongfang Du looked at Emperor Qianwen's eyes and said slowly: "Back to my father, I don't like it." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to hold the dark clouds, and his ten fingers were crossed and clasped together, "I yearn for a free life outside the palace, and I want to take Yun'er to travel all over the famous mountains and rivers and see the beautiful scenery of the world." "The palace is just a cage for her. In her previous life, she trapped the dark clouds, and in this life, she must take the dark clouds out of here.

Yu Dongdu is a cage, and so is Emperor Yu Qianwen.

Emperor Qianwen is a high emperor who sits on the throne of the world. But most of his life was spent in this palace. Although the palace is large, it is so small compared to the whole world, and he also longs for freedom. has the supreme right, whoever wants to die will have to die, but standing at the pinnacle of power, it is so lonely, so bound, the harem is three thousand, not as good as a heart of people to leave the white head, a huge palace, not as good as a wooden house, a few acres of fertile land.

"Du'er, since this is the case, my father will let you leave the palace. You have been crowned the king of Qing and have a fief, so it is better to go to Jinzhou in a few days. He sighed lightly, reluctant and relieved, he got everything he wanted.

As soon as Dongfang Du heard that Emperor Qianwen was going to let her leave the palace, and even be able to leave the capital, his eyes instantly turned red, "Father, son...... Erchen ...... "I was so excited that I choked up for a while." Could it be that in her previous life, if she had proposed the idea of leaving the palace to Emperor Qianwen as soon as possible, and told Emperor Qianwen about her love for dark clouds earlier, Emperor Qianwen would give her dark clouds and let the two of them stay away from the palace and the capital? If this is the case, she will not die in the hands of Dark Cloud with hatred, let alone let Dark Cloud die with her......

Emperor Qianwen glanced at the hands of the two of them and said, "Okay, get up, Dark Cloud has been here for a long time, you can take her back to Fengqing Palace." Another sigh, "Before leaving, remember to say goodbye to your father, and your mother, and accompany her more." "I don't know how long it will take to see each other again this time, with his understanding of the two sons, I'm afraid that if he can't come back, he won't come back. As for Concubine Xian, as a concubine, she will never be able to leave the palace unless she is dead.

Dongfang Du habitually protected the dark clouds, gently helped her up, and then let go of his hand and said to Emperor Qianwen: "Father, the son will never come back if he does not leave the palace." "Since it was not her who fled the palace, but Emperor Qianwen who gave her the right to leave, she would naturally come back.

"In the past few days, the sons will go to Zhaoxian Palace more often to accompany their mother." The real virtuous concubine is waiting for them to reunite in Wuya Mountain, as for the fake virtuous concubine in Zhaoxian Palace, she naturally has to pretend, if she doesn't have any reluctance, she will definitely arouse the suspicion of Emperor Qianwen. In case Emperor Qianwen finds out that Concubine Xian is fake, Concubine Xian will be the only one who will suffer.

A qiē seems to be in order.

Wait, it seems that there is still Ling Wu! If he left, what would Ling Wu do? Today, it was her father who let her go, not her design to escape from the palace.

Thinking of Dongfang Lingwu, Dongfang Du frowned slightly, and then raised his hands again, "Father, the son has one more thing to ask for." As he spoke, he knelt down again. She said that she would leave with Dongfang Lingwu, no matter what, she couldn't break her word.

"Father, the son wants to take the imperial sister to leave with him." Dongfang Du had a trace of trepidation in her heart, she abducted the leader of the secret guard, and wanted to take away Emperor Qianwen's only daughter, which was really too much.

"Take Wu'er with you?" Emperor Qianwen frowned and asked unhappily, "Did you raise this matter on your own initiative, or did Wu'er ask you to say it?" If you make your own decisions, there is no need to say more, Wu'er is different from you, she is a princess and a woman, and I will not let Wu'er leave. If this is Wu'er's idea, you let Wu'er and me talk about it, and I will think about it. If Wu'er really wants to leave, he can persuade him, but if he can't, he can only let her leave with Du'er.

Dongfang Du raised his head slightly and looked at Emperor Qianwen's expression, guessed his thoughts, and was overjoyed, and said: "Erchen will sue the emperor, and let the emperor's sister tell the emperor herself." "If she says anything more at this moment, it will only backfire, since her father has the idea of letting Dongfang Ling Wu leave with her, then let Ling Wu say it to her father in person.

"Father, the son is retiring."

"Hmm." Emperor Qianwen nodded, thought of Dongfang Xu, beckoned to Dongfang Du again, and said, "By the way, Du'er, I plan to establish Xu'er as the crown prince." ”

Dongfangdu, who was thinking about leaving, heard the words, and his heart jumped. As early as when Emperor Qianwen asked her to leave, she should have thought that if she left, the new prince would naturally be Dongfang Xu without any suspense, as for Dongfang Xuan, unless Dongfang Xu's poison against Dongfang Xi was discovered, he had no hope.

Just as he was about to speak, the eunuch outside the door shouted: "Emperor Qi, Lord Qingxuan of Dali Temple and Lord Zhao of the Criminal Department ask to meet~"
