Three days later, Zhang Yuqin was betrayed and executed.

The four princes were sealed away from the king, and the fief was in the south barrier, which was a place of miasma on the border and a place of exile in ancient times.

Empress Zhang kept silent and chanted in the Buddhist hall all day long.

Ten days later, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor appointed Xiao Wuxun, the ninth prince, as the crown prince.

After the Spring Festival, Mu Wangxi wrote many times to ask him to go to the fiefdom, but the excerpt handed over was not sent in the middle, and the emperor gave him a mansion to build a museum, looking at the situation, he wanted to leave him in the middle capital, and refused to let him go back.

In the side hall of the Heart Cultivation Hall on this day, Emperor Yuan frowned, looked at the fold in his hand angrily, and suddenly threw it into the small pit, and said:

"Hmph, it's not enough to break every day, this is looking for you to be a lobbyist again?"

Lord Wei bowed down and said: "The emperor is angry, what Shi Cai said, every sentence is the heartfelt words of Wei Chen, and there is no one else's instructions. The minister wanted to find his biological son half a year before King Mu's death, and although the west attacked the throne, his control over Muzhou was unstable. His step-brother Xie Wen Jijiu was in Muzhou...... The minister is afraid that the west has been in the middle of the capital for a long time, and he is afraid that Muzhou will change. ”

Emperor Yuan drooped his eyelids and did not speak.

Lord Wei said: "Weichen understands the emperor's thoughts, and still hopes that the west will assist the prince in the central capital. It's just that Muzhou is a big state and the land of grain and rice. If Muzhou is unstable, Yunzhou will be chaotic, and it will even affect Guizhou, Sichuan and other states. Muzhou has a major stake, and I hope the emperor will think twice. ”

After a long time, Emperor Yuan sighed: "Yicheng really has the loyalty to the country, you are right, it is the negligence of the widow." Alas! Just ......"

Lord Wei smiled and said, "The emperor doesn't have to worry about the crown prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has entered the East Palace, and his name is justified. The internal and external ministers will inevitably assist wholeheartedly, and there will never be any more thoughts. ”

Emperor Yuan sighed silently, thought for a while and said, "Then I will give the West three years." Stabilize the situation in Muzhou and come back. In my lifetime, I will not let him go. ”

Lord Wei was stunned for a moment, looked at the emperor in confusion, and didn't dare to persuade again. Just as Lord Wei was about to retire, Emperor Yuan seemed to suddenly remember something, stopped him, and asked:

"I almost forgot. Has Lu Qing made any recent moves? Has she ever looked for you? ”

Master Wei bowed down and said, "That's not the case...... However, King Mu looked for Weichen a few times to help Lu Qing deliver the message. said that he was going to resign! This is so ridiculous that it was rejected by the minister. Emperor...... Have you heard of it? ”

Emperor Yuan smiled: "Is it the noodles from the west?" Oh, since they have made up their minds, let them go. Qing'er wants to go south. I can't stop it. Do you have to force her to hang up the crown and leave? Right? ”

Lord Wei looked at the emperor in surprise, and when he saw that Emperor Yuan didn't look like he was laughing, he retired in confusion.

Zixi received a letter from Lord Wei, and the mansion was in chaos.

Although most of the servants don't have to go south, Xiao Er and Cai'er have to take small babies, and Mu Wangxi's entourage and personal soldiers are also very numerous, and the mansion has been tossed for a while.

Qing'er didn't have any belongings to clean up, but she made a fuss in her heart for several days.

This time, I went south to get married. But Jiuwen proposed to her, which made Qing'er confused. I can't figure out whether to say goodbye to him.

After thinking about it for a while, she decided not to go alone, especially the relationship between Xi and Jiuwen became very delicate, she didn't even want to ask, she only secretly watched Xi's movements.

However, as the days passed, seeing that Uncle Xi, Lord Wei, Yan Yuan and others had visited them one by one, but he had no intention of saying goodbye to Jiuwen, and he couldn't help but be anxious.

The day before leaving, Qing'er couldn't help it and finally asked about it.

"Say goodbye to the prince? No, I've already repaired his letters. ”

Xi looked at Qing'er's expression, wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered:

"The emperor allowed me to go south, but I would come back in three years. Alas, I really don't understand what the emperor thinks, I don't know how much the prince knows about me, I'm afraid the prince will think too much. I promised King Mu that I would shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Xie family, and I would never think about anything else. Actually, I'm not going to come back in three years, so let's talk about it then. ”

Qing'er was stunned for a moment when she heard this, she thought about it for a long time, but she didn't think of this layer, and couldn't help nodding and said:

"Or you think carefully, in this way, we should be as far away from Zhongdu as possible, I just want to live in peace with your wife. Since you have this concern, let's save some trouble. ”

The two had just agreed, and suddenly Xiao San came to report that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived.

The two hurriedly got up to greet each other, and before they stepped out of the door, Jiuwen had already pushed the door in.

Xi walked a few steps to greet him, and before he finished his kind words, he was stopped by Jiuwen and said with a smile: "Forget it, there are no outsiders here, and there is no need to be polite between brothers." ”

Jiuwen sent away all the servants, took Xi's hand and said with a smile:

"You're such a big shelf! I'm going to leave tomorrow, and I'm not going to say goodbye, but I'm going to come in a hurry!" Hmph, I'm not going to see them off tomorrow, I'm uncomfortable. Alas, since I was a child, I always felt that I was not favored, my mother was sick, my uncle didn't care, and I felt the grievances of the boss. I don't want to compare myself to my brother, but I'm lucky. Alas, the past grievances and grievances are the business of the elders, and now that my mother is dead and my uncle is gone, we brothers can't be separated again. ”

Nishi's eyes flashed to the side, not knowing how to reply.

Since Muzhou, Jiuwen has been called a brother and sister with him. Xi couldn't figure out how much the prince knew about his identity, so he had to smile and say nothing, nodding his head in response.

Jiuwen suddenly took Qing'er's hand, Xi frowned, and shouted, "Prince......"

The prince laughed evilly, put Qing'er's hand in Xi's hand, clasped it together, and said with a smile:

"Qing'er is the first thing I met, I treat her like a sister, you are not allowed to bully her! Hmph, I'm going to ask you when you come back in three years. If you let me know what you can't do with her, I won't give up! ”

Xi laughed self-deprecatingly: "If she doesn't bully me, I'll burn high incense, where can anyone dare to bear her!" ”

Jiuwen laughed, hugged Xi's shoulders and smiled, "Yes, I said something wrong!" Qing'er, this is my own brother, you can't bully him, otherwise I won't follow! ”

Qing'er gave him a blank look, pulled Xi into his arms, put down Jiuwen's hand on Xi's shoulder and said:

"My son is good, you don't go to him in the future. As far as your expertise in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling is concerned, if you dare to teach him badly, I will go to the emperor and sue you! ”

"Messing around again!" Xi pushed away Qing'er's hand and apologized, "Qing'er is talking nonsense, don't be surprised by the prince." ”

After Jiuwen laughed, he said sincerely: "Brother is going south this time, not only does the emperor hope for your early return, but my humble brother also hopes that you will return as soon as possible and assist me in ruling the world together." ”

Xi smiled and nodded, Jiuwen glanced at Qing'er nostalgically, and left.

Qing'er didn't expect Jiuwen to figure it out, no longer entangled, and her heart was at peace. (To be continued.) )
