Corning Palace

Mu Kexiang had just left, Empress Dowager Gao looked at the back of the departure, even if she was reprimanded, this momentum was not chaotic at all, her phoenix eyes frowned slightly, it seemed that she really underestimated him. However, he had told her good news just now, and now that she was relieved, it seemed that her choice was not wrong.

"Queen Mother, it's not good, because the eldest princess is seriously ill, the queen she, she ......" Outside Yulian Mama suddenly ran in, her face full of anxiety.

Raising her hand and rubbing her temples, Empress Dowager Gao closed her eyes, her face was full of impatience, "What's wrong with her, Queen?" ”

"The queen mother sealed the eldest princess's Ninghe Palace, saying that she was afraid that the eldest princess's illness would be passed on to others in the palace." Mama Yulian stopped and said with her head down.

Empress Dowager Gao suddenly opened her eyes, looked at Mama Yulian sharply, and suddenly she sneered and said, "It's still that urgent, it's really not a climate!" ”

"This palace is a big deal, and the queen's move is really inappropriate." Mama Yulian responded, "What are you going to do, Queen Mother?" ”

Empress Dowager Gao snorted lightly, "That's it, let her go." But the crown prince will definitely go over to see his imperial aunt, after all, last time, when the emperor punished him, it was the eldest princess who came out to intercede with the emperor to save him from punishment. ”

Nodding, Mama Yulian continued: "Then are we going to stop the prince?" What if the prince contracted a vicious disease in the past? ”

"Block? The nephew sees that the imperial aunt is righteous, and besides, these things are what the queen should worry about, so the mourning family will not worry about it. And the mourning family wants to see what kind of surprise the queen can bring to the mourning family this time! Empress Dowager Gao looked at the front with cold eyes, Xu was tired, she leaned on the cushion behind her, supported her head, and closed her eyes.

Mama Yulian looked at the Empress Dowager Gao, and nodded in her heart, the queen should also take on some heavy responsibilities, and she can't let the queen mother worry about her heart for a lifetime.

In front of Ninghe Palace,

"Bold minions, dare to block the main hall, get out of the way!" Mu Qingyuan shouted at the eunuch guarding the palace gate, and was about to rush inside, originally he was resting in the palace, and he heard that the palace people said that the eldest princess was seriously ill, so he came to take a look, after all, his imperial aunt was also good to him, and he had interceded for him in front of his father, and she was an elder, he cared about her, and he would inevitably win the respect of his subjects.

The eunuch hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness forgives the sin, it is the queen mother who said that no one is allowed to visit the eldest princess, so as not to infect the palace people." ”

"Queen Mother?!" A trace of doubt flashed in Mu Qingyuan's eyes, is this disease still contagious? He stopped and asked, "Is the eldest princess's illness serious?" ”

"The slave doesn't know this, it's just the order of the queen's mother......" replied the eunuch.

On the side, Gonggong Zhang said to Mu Qingyuan: "Your Highness, if the eldest princess is really seriously ill, you go over now, if it infects you, how can this be good, let's go back to the palace." ”

Mu Qingyuan hesitated for a moment, glanced at the palace, frowned, and finally nodded, he ordered: "Let the imperial doctor take a good look at the eldest princess, to use the best medicine, you must let the eldest princess recover." ”

"By His Highness's will."

Nodding, Mu Qingyuan frowned slightly, turned around and walked towards the way he came. However, before he could take a step, an oncoming palace man suddenly bumped into him, and he took a few steps back.

"Bold minion, she is so short-eyed, come on, pull her down and serve her." Seeing this, Gonggong Zhang shouted and said, and then he turned to Mu Qingyuan again, "Your Highness, are you okay?" ”

Mu Qingyuan's eyebrows were twisted, he looked at the palace maid kneeling on the ground, and he said in a deep voice: "This hall is fine, which palace are you in?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, the slave maid is from the eldest princess's palace, because the eldest princess wants to eat something, but the imperial kitchen here can't do it, so the slave and maid have to go to the imperial dining room to have a look." The palace maid lowered her head and said.

Hearing this, a hint of suspicion flashed in Mu Qingyuan's eyes, "Didn't you say that the eldest princess couldn't come out when she was sick?" How did you get out? ”

"Yes, it was the slave who saw that the eldest princess had lost a lot of weight recently, so she risked her death. Please forgive your sins! As she spoke, the palace maid knelt on the ground, but as soon as she finished speaking, she still muttered to herself, "And the eldest princess's illness is not contagious at all." ”

"Presumptuous, I collided with His Royal Highness the Prince, and I even dared to quibble, come here, pull it down!" Gonggong Zhang pointed at the palace maid and shouted, and immediately a few eunuchs came over and wanted to take the palace maid away.

Mu Qingyuan raised his hand, "Slow!" He looked at the palace maid, and the doubts in his eyes were even worse, but he still said, "You go back to serve the eldest princess first, if you have any requirements, just let the palace people below do it, you must take care of the eldest princess." ”

"Slave and maid thank Your Highness, the slave and maid will retire first." The palace maid bowed, got up, and walked directly towards the Ninghe Palace.

Turning his head and glancing at the palace maid, she had already entered, Mu Qingyuan clenched her hand, and the moment the palace maid bumped into him just now, she forced him to give him a note.

"You don't have to follow!" Mu Qingyuan said, walked directly to the front, and when there was no one, he opened the note in his hand, and there were only five words on it, 'The queen wants to kill me'!

The queen mother wants to kill the imperial aunt? Why?! Mu Qingyuan crumpled the note in his hand and looked ahead suspiciously, although he knew that the relationship between the queen mother and the imperial aunt was not good, but he definitely did not reach the point of killing the other party. And now that he is about to inherit the throne, the queen mother should not have any extraneous branches at this time. So this is someone setting up a game? But what is his purpose? And the palace maid did enter the palace of the imperial aunt, so he could only ask the imperial aunt for verification of all this. He casually threw the note in his hand into the lake next to him and walked straight ahead.

At night, dark clouds cover the moon

Because of the death of the emperor, the entire palace is becoming more and more guarded, and the Praetorian Guards will patrol every quarter of an hour, in front of the gate of Ninghe Palace, a large group of Praetorian Guards have just left, and a black shadow jumps directly onto the palace wall.

Ninghe Palace, inner sanctum

Hui'er stood in front of the window and looked outside, the night was getting deeper and deeper, and the moon in the sky was also covered by dark clouds, she turned her head to look at the woman sitting in front of the dressing table, and said worriedly: "Eldest princess, did you say that the prince is really back?" ”

Today, Mu Xuening reversed her previous plain clothes, she was dressed in palace clothes, and her face was even coated with fat powder because she wanted to cover the paleness of her face, and she looked like she was going to participate in the palace banquet.

Mu Xuening looked at the beautiful woman in the bronze mirror, she was combing her black hair, she was smiling lightly, and her face was happy like never before.

"Eldest princess, when is it, you are in the mood to dress up." Hui'er walked over and couldn't help but say that she had been sitting in front of the bronze mirror since evening, even if she saw the prince, she didn't have to do it. And the emperor has just died, dressed like this, it is not in accordance with the rules, the eldest princess should know.

Putting down the jade comb in her hand, Mu Xuening turned around, looked at Hui'er, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, he will come." Go down and rest first, and you don't have to wait here. ”

"Eldest Princess...... Let the slave accompany you. Hui'er didn't know why, looking at the woman who was smiling at her in front of her, she felt a faint sense of uneasiness in her heart, as if the smile was blurring, and she was getting farther and farther away from her.

Mu Xuening smiled and said, "Don't worry, the prince won't do anything to me, but if you are here, the prince must have a lot of scruples in his heart, and it is inconvenient to say a lot of things." If you really can't sleep, why don't you go to the small kitchen and stew me something delicious, I haven't eaten for a long time, I'm a little hungry now. ”

"Yes, eldest princess, you haven't eaten anything for a day today, so the slave will go and prepare it for you." Hui'er put her mind at ease, said with a smile, and then went out.

Watching Hui'er go out, the smile on Mu Xuening's face gradually dissipated, she slowly got up, walked to the wall, and took down the picture scroll on the wall.

"Yuchen, I miss you so much!" Mu Xue held the scroll with a sad face, tears fell unconsciously, the tears were powdered, and it was clear and bright like a river had formed on her face.

However, at this moment, suddenly the window shook, and a cold wind poured into the house.

The candle flame flickered, and a black shadow suddenly appeared in the room, accompanied by a silver light that pierced Mu Xuening.

Mu Xuening's eyes widened, and she retreated again and again, but her hand did not forget to hold the painting in her arms tightly. However, she was not paying attention, and she slammed into the table and fell to the side of the table.

Turning around, Mu Xuening saw a man in black slashing at her with a long sword, her face changed, and she shouted angrily: "Who are you, you dare to assassinate the palace, no, you are the queen's person?" "Oh no, her plan hasn't been implemented yet, she never thought that Gao Yueli would be so anxious.

The man in black remained unmoved, and the sharp blade in his hand fell.

Mu Xuening closed her eyes tightly, she held the painting in her hand tightly, but her heart gradually relieved, Yuchen! I'm coming to accompany you. However, there was no pain in his body, but he was surprised to hear a muffled snort, and then with a "bang", something fell to the ground.

Slowly opening her eyes, Mu Xue Ning saw a person on the ground at a glance, it was the man in black who was about to kill her just now, but why was there a person standing next to her, she slowly raised her head, looking at the person who came, her eyes widened instantly!

"Yuchen!" Mu Xue looked at the man standing in front of her in a daze, that face, the contour was exactly the same as Yu Chen, she couldn't believe it, and looked at the painting in her arms again, it looked exactly the same!

"Yuchen, you're not dead!" Mu Xuening suddenly said happily, she slowly stood up, and wanted to walk towards the man in front of her, but as soon as she took a step, she stopped, although her eyebrows and eyes were similar, but that awe-inspiring murderous aura, which Yuchen did not have! She shook her head, "No, Yuchen is dead, you are not Yuchen!" ”

Ji Lengxue put away her sword, glanced at Mu Xuening, frowned, and said indifferently: "I am indeed not Dugu Yuchen!" ”

"Yes, if it's Yuchen, how can he hold a sword, what Yuchen doesn't like the most is to kill people and bleed." Mu Xue Ning looked at the picture scroll in her arms, and the smile on her face resurfaced, "You are so similar to Yu Chen, you are his child?!" The last time I saw you, you were the same person! "It's so similar.
