Chapter Thirty-Nine: The East Will Be Degraded
Northern Regions, Yongqian Palace.
I just finished the court meeting today, and I discussed some big wedding matters with Mu Yanzhen and Gongsun Ling, and it was already afternoon after tossing. Xiao Qiyu walked in the palace corridor, a little panicked, not knowing where to go.
Yu Tong, who was accompanying him, saw this man's thoughts and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Muyan has woken up. ”
"Hmm. ”
"Yesterday, the Snow Lord just left. ”
"What did they say?"
Yu Tong pondered for a moment and replied: "The county lord said that there is no life in the palace, and I want to ask Your Majesty to arrange a position for Lord Muyan, preferably in the Six Arts Academy or the Star Pavilion." ”
"What does the academy and the star hall really mean?"
"Lord Muyan didn't say what he meant, but he asked His Majesty Daning Palace to see him, thinking that he wanted to return to him face to face on this matter. ”
Xiao Qiyu sighed, but the direction turned to the road to Daning Palace.
"Do you think the academy is better, or the star pavilion is better?"
Why did Xiao Qiyu suddenly ask about this? Could it be that he really had this thought?
Yu Tong smiled respectfully and said: "Both of them are good places to stay away from disputes, but according to Lord Muyan's temperament, neither the Six Arts Academy nor the Star Pavilion are suitable, he has been by His Majesty's side since he left Muyan's house, neither can write lyrics, nor can he do astrological calculations, and if he stays there, he will be laughed at by others, and he will inevitably be bullied a lot." ”
Xiao Qiyu smiled and said helplessly: "After all these years, he really can't make steel." ”
Daning Palace is far away from the main hall where Xiao Qiyu is drawn, and it will take more than half an hour to walk without taking a step. The day before yesterday, Ye Chenghui also pulled out the arrow on his shoulder, but fortunately, the arrow was not inserted deeply, or Mu Yan's real shoulder would have been wasted. Xiao Qiyu slowly paced to the inner hall, and he didn't know what to say when he came to the bedside, if it weren't for his token, he would have suffered so much.
"Yes...... Is Your Majesty here?"
Xiao Qiyu stepped forward and stared at him at the head of the bed for a while before asking, "How do you know?"
"I am familiar with the footsteps of His Majesty. ”
Xiao Qiyu sat on the edge of the bed for a while, his face was very pale due to excessive blood loss, but his eyes were bloodshot, and he thought that he couldn't sleep for a few days after waking up because of pain.
"Hurt, how's it going?"
"Good. ”
In fact, he would ask the medical department every day about Mu Yanzhen's condition, and Xiao Qiyu couldn't be clearer about his injuries, recovery was impossible, Xiao Qiyu only hoped that he wouldn't fall too far behind.
The two were speechless, and Mu Yanzhen spoke first, saying, "It's me, I'm sorry Your Majesty." ”
"How?"
"Because of me, Su Jue caused chaos in the palace. ”
"How do you know his name?"
"It was my sister who told me, and he said that the person is now in the Ning Wangfu, and His Majesty's rhino beads have also been recovered. Mu Yan really felt that it was a pity, wouldn't Su Jue's family have no hope in this way?
"Let's not talk about this, Ah Xue mentioned yesterday that she wanted you to leave the palace, and I also think that this palace is not suitable for you. ”
"Your Majesty?" Mu Yan really wanted to get up, but suddenly he touched the wound, and he hissed and inhaled cold air in pain.
"The Shepherd's house can't go back, I can find a place for you to go again. ”
"Why did Your Majesty let me leave?" Mu Yan really said emotionally, so Xiao Qiyu couldn't help but look away, "But where did I anger Your Majesty? Or is it because I didn't use Su Jue to ...... to Mu Yan's family according to His Majesty's order this time?"
"It's not. ”
"Your Majesty, I told my sister today that I will always stay in the palace. ”
Xiao Qiyu didn't think much about it, and a sentence came to his lips, "Maybe it's me who decides that you want to stay, not Mu Yanxue." ”
I don't know where the strength came from, Mu Yanzhen grabbed Xiao Qiyu's hand and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, don't drive me away!" Your Majesty ...... I can't go anywhere but here, Your Majesty!"
"But what's the use of you staying here? help me deal with the Muyan family?"
"I ...... cough cough cough, cough cough...... Except for the Muyan family, I am willing to do anything for Your Majesty, cough cough cough...... Your Majesty, I beg you......"
But when Xiao Qiyu brought him into the palace, it was because he was a dog of the Muyan family, and he wanted to make him a sharp blade in his hands, but today, Xiao Qiyu is in a trance. Only by leaving the palace and leaving the Mirage City, can Mu Yanzhen stay out of the matter as he wishes, and he will have relative safety, or let him go to the eastern vassal country?
"When you're almost healed, I'll make my own arrangements. ”
"Your Majesty......" Mu Yanzhen let go of his hand after hearing this, and the water in his round apricot eyes was faintly moving, and this expression was exactly the same as when Xiao Qiyu first saw him in Mu Yan's mansion. At the beginning, Mu Yande cut off their mother and son's diet, because his mother was really hungry, so he had the courage to beg his eldest brother Mu Yansheng. As a result, he was ridiculed and bullied, and the two steamed buns he finally asked for were also thrown on the ground by Mu Yansheng. At that time, Mu Yanzhen was scarred, but he cried more fiercely than the little girl, but after Mu Yansheng left, he burst into tears and smiled and held the two steamed buns in his hands. Xiao Qiyu watched him sit cross-legged on the ground in the dark, meticulously peeled off the dusty side of the steamed bun, and then got up with a grunt and gave the thing to his mother.
That day, Xiao Qiyu suddenly had an idea, even if this person was bullied, he should be bullied by the Emperor of the Northern Regions, not Mu Yansheng! It's just a pity that when he finally made up his mind, this person's mother had already been executed by Mu Yande.
"What do you think of Liyang City?"
"Liyang?"
"It is close to the subject country of Dongyi, it is the extreme east of the Northern Regions, not only rich in products but also warm in climate, you can go to the school palace there to serve, or you can see any desirable official positions after you go to the city, and boldly tell me, I will measure it." ”
"Your Majesty, but Liyang is more than two thousand miles away from Mirage City, I ......"
"Don't you understand, what I want is for you to leave Mirage City, the farther away the better, otherwise what's the use of keeping you by my side and only disobeying?"
"But Your Majesty ......"
"Shut up, and I'll get you out of town now. Mu Yanzhen lay on the bed honestly, with tears on his face, which made Xiao Qiyu a little bored, "Forget it, I still have government affairs to deal with, if you have any needs, you can tell the internal officials." ”
Walking out of Daning Palace, Xiao Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief, he finally said this. The palace Yu Muyan is really tormented, he can survive the past few years is a great luck, if he stays any longer, not to mention the disputes between the DPRK and China, even Xiao Qiyu himself does not know what he will do to Mu Yanzhen in the future.
"Your Majesty. ”
"What?"
Yu Tong bowed and said, "His Royal Highness King Ning asks to see you." ”
"Where is he?"
"It's at the gate of Daning Palace. ”
He waited in the main hall of Shuoyang Palace. ”
King Ning came here to prepare for the wedding, and the gift list and the required honor guards were piled up with a thick stack of folds. Xiao Qiyu looked upset, and then threw the song away, and only said: "I don't understand these, the prince can just look at it, and also, how is that Su Jue's trial? Does it have anything to do with the Muyan family?"
"The minister is also here for Su Jue, and the minister has taken him back to King Ning's mansion so that he can be used by His Majesty. ”
Xiao Qiyu said disdainfully: "You let me use a thief to rebel?"
"Your Majesty, Su Jue is indeed only here for rhino beads, and he is not only determined and extraordinary, but also has nothing to do with the people in the court, these points can be used by us. ”
"It's good that the prince is so sure. ”
"At the same time, there is another person who belongs to Ning Wangfu, Yue Qianlong. ”
Xiao Qiyu thought about it, was it the woman he saw in Luo's house?
"Why her?"
"This woman is not an ordinary mortal, don't hide it from Your Majesty, this person Weichen has been paying attention for a long time, and he let Luo Yinhuan Luo stay in Taihua Mountain for a few months to get close to her. ”
It turns out that the care and liking that Luo Yinhuan showed that day were all fake?
"Why isn't she mortal?"
"This woman is from the Nuwa God Realm, and has been imprisoned in it for many years, Luo Yinhuan has already returned to Weichen, this person may be from the ancient gods, last month Luo Yinhuan went to Chenguo with her, and saw with her own eyes Yue Qianlong awakened the holy relics that had been sealed in the altar of the Wu clan for many years, it can be seen that our previous guess was correct, leaving this person may be able to help us complete the great cause in the future. ”
"So," Xiao Qiyu thought for a moment, "I really need to give them a marriage?"
"Marriage, why did Your Majesty say that?"
"If such a person is not tied up in Mirage City, will she still be let out?"
"Your Majesty, do you want to give her to Luo Yinhuan?"
"Exactly. ”
"If Your Majesty wants to keep her, you don't have to go to such great lengths, as long as Su Jue is in Mirage City, Yue Qianlong won't leave?"
"Oh?" this was really unexpected by Xiao Qiyu, "Su Jue is also related to Yue Qianlong?"
"They are both disciples of Taihua, and they also have a son named Su Yan in Taihua Mountain, but although this child is Yue Qianlong's own child, he is not Su Jue's blood. ”
"Dare to bear these things for Yue Qianlong, it seems that they are lovers?"
"It doesn't matter how they were before, the important thing is that Su Jue doesn't remember Yue Qianlong now, as if he lost his previous memory because of the injury. ”
It's close to a blank piece of paper, no wonder King Ning takes a fancy to him.
"Your Majesty, now that you have these two people, perhaps the day Your Majesty gets married will be the time when the big event can be decided. ”
"Why should it be on the day of the wedding?"
"On that day, the shepherd's family will be able to relax their guard when they enjoy all their glory, and your majesty will take the opportunity of the big wedding to grant amnesty to the world on that day and order the whole country to celebrate together, and the garrisons of the Muyan family in the provinces will also be affected by this. ”
Xiao Qiyu understands the truth, in short, it is so good, but it is too cruel to Mu Yanxue.
"I understand the deployment of the prince, so I will act according to this plan, and Yu Ze's side, please make arrangements as soon as possible. However, before that, I want to meet these two people again, and it is scheduled for tonight, after the palace gate is closed, you ask Ji Hao to take them directly to Shuoyang Palace. ”
"Yes. ”
"Remember, you take them into the palace and let them come alone. ”
"Your Majesty wants to test them?"
"No need to ask, let's go down. ”
Xiao Qiyu felt sleepy and tired, so he let Gongsun Ling retreat and lay down in the side hall and fell asleep, this sleep was not stable, he seemed to have many dreams in the middle, in the dream there was Gongsun Ling, and three dead brothers. Xiao Yichen seized the throne of Xiao Beihuang, and Xiao Instant was also attacked and killed on the way to kill Xiao Beihuang. After Xiao Yichen's death, the scene of the hundred officials forcing the palace appeared again, he was still a child at the time, he didn't dare to move on the dragon chair, and his clothes were soaked inside and outside when he returned to the palace. The past can't be recalled, Xiao Qiyu tried hard to open his eyes, but he couldn't wake up.
