Corning Palace

In the entire hall, there was silence, only in the center of the hall stood a man in a pale yellow brocade robe, he lowered his head, and his expression was very respectful.

Above the main hall, an old woman dressed in purple palace clothes was reclining on a soft couch, her cloudy eyes were only staring at the holy decree in her hand, and did not look at the man standing below.

"The mourning family finally helped you with the errand you are coming, you don't have to do anything wrong with this matter!" As she spoke, Empress Dowager Gao suddenly handed the holy decree in her hand to Mama Yulian, who was standing next to her.

"Thank you, Grandmother! Your grandchildren won't let you down. Mu Qingyuan said respectfully, watching Mama Yulian walk down, he bowed his head slightly, and took the holy decree with both hands.

Opening the holy decree and looking at the contents inside, Mu Qingyuan's face was slightly shocked, he suddenly looked at the Empress Dowager Gao, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, but he was more puzzled.

As if knowing what Mu Qingyuan was thinking in his heart, Empress Dowager Gao's phoenix eyes raised slightly, and said indifferently: "Don't be surprised, now the mourning family can only lose the pawn and protect the car, not to mention that the Gao family is just a Gao Qi who died, as long as the mourning family is still alive, the sky of the Gao family will not collapse." As she spoke, she glanced at the man standing below, "The mourning family heard about you and that Yunyan, and the mourning family hopes that you can understand what is the most important thing for you, if you love beauty and don't love the country, it doesn't matter, anyway, there is more than one prince in the palace!" There are a lot of people who are rushing to listen to the words of the mourners! ”

Hearing this, a trace of consternation flashed on Mu Qingyuan's handsome face, and he immediately said respectfully: "Imperial grandmother, don't listen to the nonsense of people outside, that Yunyan, in fact, Sun Er was just confused by her, how could Sun Er ignore Dongyue Kingdom for her." He lowered his head, but his brows were unconsciously raised, but the people above couldn't see clearly.

"Really?" Empress Dowager Gao sneered and said, but she didn't seem to want to talk about this matter, her expression was slightly retracted, and she said lightly, "The mourning family doesn't ask much for you, and when you ascend the throne in the future, you will inevitably restore the glory of the Gao family!" ”

"It's nature!" Mu Qingyuan lowered his head and said respectfully, but a trace of disgust flashed unconsciously in his eyes, if it wasn't for the throne, how could he be so compromised.

Empress Dowager Gao nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly she seemed to think of something, frowned and said, "Are you close to Yun Mocheng?" The mourning family seems to have heard that just yesterday, that Yunyue married into the Liu family? It seems that she was going to promise you to be a side concubine? ”

"As the emperor's grandmother said, Miss Yun Er married into the Liu family yesterday, as for the relationship between the grandson and Yun Xiang, it is naturally the relationship between the prince and the prime minister." Mu Qingyuan hesitated slightly and said. It's not that he hasn't tried to win over Yun Mocheng, it's just that this person doesn't eat hard and soft, and he can't either.

Shaking her head, Empress Dowager Gao looked outside the hall, her cloudy eyes revealed a spiritual light, and after a while, she said in a deep voice: "Yun Mocheng is not greedy for merit, not good for beauty, modest, and does not make friends with party henchmen." ”

"Yes, Yun Xiang is indeed the pillar of my Dongyue Kingdom!" Mu Qingyuan raised his gaze slightly and said.

"Confused!" Empress Dowager Gao's eyes widened suddenly, her withered face was full of gloom, and she shouted at Mu Qingyuan below, and her tone was extremely harsh.

Being drunk like this, Mu Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The imperial grandmother is angry!" ”

With a cold snort, Empress Dowager Gao frowned and glanced at Mu Qingyuan, a trace of unscrupulous color appeared in her eyes, she turned her eyes to look away, and there was a deep taboo in her eyes, "It's because he doesn't ask for anything, so the mourning family doesn't worry about him, you have to be careful." There is something that has not been told to you, the marriage between you and the third lady of the Yun family was just the mourning family's hope to test Yun Xiang's attitude, if Yun Xiang is really willing to marry the ugly girl of the Yun family to you, then it means that he is greedy for power, and there is not much taboo for such a person. But if he is unwilling, that is, he does not want to marry the royal family, but how many people in this world are not willing to marry the royal family? This can only show that he is in Taoguang. ”

Hearing this, Mu Qingyuan raised his eyes and looked at the Empress Dowager Gao, a trace of consternation flashed in his eyes, when he married him and Yun Yan, he was also puzzled, there were so many beautiful ladies in the Liangdu, why did he have to give him that ugly girl. However, later the queen mother said that it was his father who wanted to help him win over the Yun family, so he made this decision. However, the left and right are to rely on his in-laws to win him over, why does he have to marry Yunyan's ugly girl, and the Yun family has more than one daughter in Yunyan, so he knelt outside the palace gate and begged to withdraw his marriage with Yunyan, but fortunately, his father agreed, and finally agreed to him, let him marry Yunyue, a concubine, as a side concubine. Unexpectedly, many years later, when she saw Yun Yan again, she was so clear and dusty, and she gradually regretted it in her heart, but what about regret, she was Mu Jingnan's princess after all, the holy decree had been issued, and he had sighed in his heart. But now someone told him that all this was just to test the clouds?! Isn't he a pawn?! Isn't it a joke that he later called the chief of the palace gate kneeling?! Thinking of this, his hands couldn't help but clench.

Empress Dowager Gao frowned, glanced at Mu Qingyuan who was in deep thought, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she quickly fell into cold silence, and she said coldly: "Originally, Yun Mocheng did everything possible to excuse herself, in the name of Yun Yan is an ugly girl, she couldn't bear to tarnish the royal bloodline. also blame your father, if he didn't want to, saying that killing the minister in vain would cause criticism, and the mourning family would have killed Yunmo a long time ago. ”

When Mu Qingyuan heard this, he suddenly raised his head, looked at the Empress Dowager Gao, and said in a deep voice: "What does the imperial grandmother mean is that the father and the emperor, like Yun Xiang, are waiting for their grandson to go and ask for a divorce?!" are all waiting for their grandchildren to break this deadlock?! ”

"Hmph, the two of them are of the same heart? Naturally, it is impossible, your father really doesn't want you to marry Yun Yan, but he just doesn't want you to get Yun Mocheng's help, he is tabooing the Gao family. Don't look at the harmony between your father and Yun Mocheng on the surface, I don't know how many times I have fought on the inside, how your father is unwilling to lose to Yun Mocheng because of a woman in his life! Empress Dowager Gao sneered and said, her cloudy eyes becoming more and more cold.

It turns out that all this is a use, he is really a chess piece, just to test Yunxiang's loyal ministers, his father, Yun Mocheng, and the emperor's grandmother, everyone is using him, in vain he still thinks that it is his father's love for him, and he has always felt that his father likes him as the prince because of that incident, so he is extraordinarily favored, ridiculous, he is really ridiculous! But how could he be willing!

"Grandchild remembered that there were still many things to deal with, so he didn't disturb the imperial grandmother's rest, and came back to greet you another day." Mu Qingyuan's expression was restricted, his face stiffened, and he said respectfully to Empress Dowager Gao.

Nodding slightly, Empress Dowager Gao said indifferently: "Go ahead." ”

Mu Qingyuan saluted again, turned around and left directly, but there seemed to be a hint of resoluteness and decisiveness in his back.

Looking at the figure that left, Mama Yulian sighed, and said to the Empress Dowager Gao on the side: "Queen Mother, why do you want to tell the fourth prince this, he is such an arrogant person, he was held in the palm of his hand when he was young, if he knew that he was being used by so many people, how uncomfortable his heart would be." ”

"Uncomfortable?" Empress Dowager Gao sneered, her withered face was full of viciousness, "If you don't let him recognize the reality clearly, I'm afraid he will still be addicted to his dreams." Can't you see it? If he really fights, he is not the opponent of the second child at all, and the second child has learned how to hide his emotions in the border area over the years, which is far from being comparable to him. He is not ruthless enough, the mourning family is to drive him to a dead end, let him know what the reality of the mourning family is, let him know that his father does not love him at all, if he continues like this, all the efforts of the mourning family will be in vain. What's more, there is a sixth ...... That's a threat too! At this, her brow furrowed even deeper.

Hearing this, Mama Yulian was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "It makes sense if the second prince threatens the fourth prince, but this sixth prince ...... And hasn't it been under your nose all these years? The ridiculous things he did are enough to prove that he is not worried, Queen Mother, you are too worried. ”

"Have you forgotten what I just said? Make matters worse by attempting a coverup! Sometimes what you see is not true, but the mourning family is just guessing, if he has really been hiding himself all these years, then it can only show that his scheming is quite deep, and it will definitely be the biggest obstacle to Qingyuan's succession! Empress Dowager Gao said in a low voice, the coldness in her eyes became worse, and her withered fingers were slowly clenched together, and the bones were hideous and terrifying.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Gao's face became more and more heavy, Mama Yulian comforted her and said: "Queen Mother, you are relieved, these six princes are not liked by the emperor, and it will never be his turn to inherit the throne. Moreover, according to the slave maid, the emperor still likes the four princes, otherwise he would not have agreed to give so many opportunities to the four princes. ”

He will agree just out of desperation, or just to support the mourning family. And don't forget, isn't the second child not liked by the emperor, he was not recalled to Liangdu, and you don't understand the emperor's thoughts, he is a person who knows how to hide his emotions, and since that incident, it has been even more so. The son of the mourning family, heh, is really a love species, but unfortunately this ancient emperor's house cannot tolerate feelings! Empress Dowager Gao said in a deep voice, she looked ahead, a trace of loss flashed in her eyes, but it was only for a moment.

Looking at the Empress Dowager Gao, Mama Yulian sighed slightly, yes, there is no room for emotion here, there has been only one emperor since ancient times, and the battle for the throne has finally begun.
