"Ahem...... Mu Xue coughed, her eyes were slightly dark, and she looked at the door of the hall, "It's not so much that she wants to imprison this palace, but that she is afraid that this palace will tell that secret." ”

Hui'er looked at Mu Xuening in surprise, "Eldest princess, what secret are you talking about?" ”

Mu Xue Ning leaned on the edge of the couch, panting lowly, and after a while, she said in a quiet voice: "A secret that has been hidden for many years, I dare to guarantee that Gao Yueli is in a hurry now." "Otherwise, she wouldn't have sealed the palace here, she knew that woman too well.

The secret that can make the queen anxious? Hui'er became more and more puzzled in her heart. But when she thought of Mu Jingnan and Yun Yan, she couldn't help but say with a sigh: "I don't know how the sixth prince and the sixth princess are doing now, why are they so careless that they actually fell off the cliff...... I'm really in a hurry, what can I do now? ”

"Accidentally?" Mu Xue Ning sneered, she stared coldly ahead, "Do you think Yan Er and Jing Nan will quarrel so easily, and they are still quarreling on the edge of the cliff?" The last two people to fall together? ”

Hui'er calmed down, looked at Mu Xuening, and said, "What does the eldest princess mean?" ”

Mu Xue Ning said lightly: "Since Mu Qingyuan came back and said that the two of them fell off the cliff, I think this matter has nothing to do with him, after all, getting rid of Jingnan, he is much more likely to win the throne." "According to Jingnan's ability, they should be fine.

Hearing Mu Xuening say this, Hui'er was anxious, "Then what should we do now?" ”

"It's come to this point, and the palace has nothing to worry about, isn't the queen sure that she will win? This palace wants to see who has the last laugh" Mu Xue Ning had a calm face and looked coldly ahead, but as soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help coughing again, and her face became more and more pale.

"Eldest princess, don't speak, take a good rest, now the queen regards you as a thorn in her eye, and I'm afraid she won't let the imperial doctor come to see you." Hui'er walked to the couch and carefully patted Mu Xuening's back.

Shaking her head slightly, Mu Xuening turned her head to look at the white-clothed man on the wall, who was looking at her with a warm smile. A gentle smile also appeared on the corner of her mouth, and after a while, she murmured: "Yuchen, I'm sorry, I forgive the imperial brother, but in the future, I will compensate you on behalf of the imperial brother." ”

Imperial

The sun was in full bloom, and the man in plain clothes walked briskly towards the sun, his resolute face was slightly solemn, and his eagle-like sharp eyes seemed to have a lot on his mind.

And at this time, a large group of people came to meet him, and the one led by him was Mu Qingyuan, he couldn't hide his anger between his eyebrows, he carried it with one hand, looking at the situation, it seemed that he was listening to what the people below were saying.

Mu Kexiang glanced ahead, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he hesitated under his feet, and over there, Mu Qingyuan had already discovered him.

"Second brother? When did you get back? ”

Mu Kexiang stopped, looked at Mu Qingyuan and said indifferently: "Not long ago. ”

Here, Mu Qingyuan had already walked to Mu Kexiang's side, and a hint of sigh appeared between his eyebrows, "Before my father left, I kept talking about you, but unfortunately, the second brother was not by my father's side at that time, and I couldn't see my father's last face." ”

Glancing at Mu Qingyuan, looking at him with a sad and lamented look, a trace of mockery flashed in Mu Kexiang's eyes, and he said lightly: "Aren't you beside him?" That's enough. ”

Seeing that Mu Kexiang was unmoved, Mu Qingyuan was not annoyed, he glanced behind him, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and then asked with a concerned face: "I don't know if the second brother has the whereabouts of the sixth brother?" ”

"Nope!" Mu Kexiang looked at Mu Qingyuan, his resolute face did not make any waves, "The cliff is too deep, it should be impossible to find anyone." ”

Hearing this, Mu Qingyuan was a little relieved, couldn't he find anyone? Very good! He then sighed and said, "It's all the blame for the main hall, I couldn't persuade them at that time." Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have died in vain. ”

Mu Kexiang's resolute face was deep and bottomless, he looked ahead, and said indifferently: "This king is going to Kangning Palace to report to the Queen Mother, take a step first." Saying that, he raised his feet and walked directly past Mu Qingyuan, preparing to leave.

Sensing the departure of the person next to him, Mu Qingyuan's originally sad emotions instantly dissipated, and he frowned deeply, trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart. How can he say that he is also a prince, and tomorrow he will be the new emperor, he dares to be so rude to him!

A eunuch on the side said angrily to Mu Kexiang: "Although it is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the younger brother of the second prince, but in the ceremony, His Royal Highness the Prince is the king, and the second prince is the minister. ”

Hearing this, Mu Qingyuan's expression was slightly gloomy, he turned around and glanced at Mu Kexiang, and then he said to the eunuch: "Gong Zhang's words are serious, although the palace is a king, but it values brotherhood more, so this gift will be waived." ”

"It's still His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is benevolent." Father-in-law Zhang hurriedly patted his ass and said.

Mu Kexiang's footsteps paused slightly, he turned his head, looked at Mu Kexiang, and said indifferently: "This king doesn't know when the fourth prince became the crown prince?" ”

Mu Qingyuan's face changed when he heard this, he glared at Mu Kexiang angrily, what did he mean by this? Is it to ignore his majesty?

Gonggong Zhang glanced at Mu Qingyuan, knowing that he was displeased, and hurriedly rushed at Mu Kexiang, his voice sharp, "The second prince is guilty of bullying the king, the previous queen mother has already said that the fourth prince is the prince, and now the world knows it." ”

"The world knows everything but the king doesn't know, are you saying that the king is lonely and unheard?" Mu Kexiang looked at Gonggong Zhang and said coldly, "Besides, this king has not seen any edict so far that the fourth prince is the crown prince, how can he deceive the king?" ”

Gonggong Zhang's face changed when he heard this, "This ......"

No longer looking at Father-in-law Zhang, Mu Kexiang looked at Mu Qingyuan, whose face had already turned black, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and then turned to leave.

Looking at the departing back, Mu Qingyuan clenched his fists, and the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out, and he almost gritted his teeth and said: "Mu Kexiang, you wait for the main hall, and the main hall will make you kneel at the foot of the main hall with a happy heart." "When he ascends the throne, the first thing he will do is to kill him!

"What about Xiao? Why can't you see anyone? Mu Qingyuan suddenly shouted.

Gonggong Zhang's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Xiao guard, he seems to have gone out with His Highness's token, saying that he was doing something for you." ”

"Good, good!" Mu Qingyuan stared, his face full of anger, when did he want Xiao to go out to do errands, and now he dared to betray him?

On the side, Gonggong Zhang lowered his head, not daring to say half a word, everyone knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was angry now, maybe one of them would sprinkle this anger on him without paying attention, and he would not be able to cut off even ten heads.

"Back to the palace, the main hall must prepare well for tomorrow's enthronement ceremony." Mu Qingyuan snorted coldly, now he doesn't have time to care about these little things, as long as he ascends to the throne, he can control everything, he raised his feet and walked directly forward.

Corning Palace

There is no palace person in the main hall to serve, the Queen Mother Gao is leaning on the soft couch alone, compared to the past, the Queen Mother Hall is much more deserted. It's not that the harem concubines didn't come to greet the Queen Mother, but she didn't want to be disturbed, so she directly passed down the decree and asked the concubines not to come.

Looking at the jade seal in her hand, a trace of pain appeared on Empress Dowager Gao's withered face, and she couldn't imagine that this jade seal finally returned to her hand. When Mu Yangtian succeeded to the throne, he was not very old, and she was in charge of the early days of the dynasty, and this jade seal was also kept by her. Later, Mu Yangtian was skilled in handling court politics, so she handed over the jade seal to him. Unexpectedly, in the end, her son left her first, and the jade seal returned to her hands, only this time she was going to give the jade seal to her grandson.

Empress Dowager Gao blinked her cloudy eyes, and it took a long time to hold back her emotions, she put the jade seal aside, and shouted outside the hall, "Yulian." ”

Mama Yulian walked in quickly, saluted at the Empress Dowager Gao and said, "What does the Empress Dowager command!" ”

"Didn't you say that the second prince is back? Why haven't you come here yet? Empress Dowager Gao asked.

Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed on Mama Yulian's face, but she still said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the second prince should still kneel in the front hall to worship the emperor." ”

Nodding, Empress Dowager Gao leaned on the couch with her head propped up, "You go down first, if he comes, let him enter the hall directly." She slowly closed her eyes.

"Yes!" Mama Yulian said respectfully, she glanced at the Empress Dowager Gao, and wondered in her heart, when did the Empress Dowager care so much about the second prince?

I don't know how long it took for there to finally be movement in the hall.

Mu Kexiang stood in the center of the hall, looking at the graceful old woman on the couch, a trace of complexity flashed on his resolute face, and after a while, he whispered: "The minister greets the queen mother." ”

As soon as these words came out, Empress Dowager Gao slowly opened her eyes, looked at the man below who bowed her head and saluted, and her voice was cold, "It seems that you have a deep affection for the mourning family, and after so many years, you still refuse to call the mourning family grandmother." ”

"Minister, don't dare! I don't want to! Mu Kexiang raised his head and looked at the Empress Dowager Gao, looking not afraid at all.

Empress Dowager Gao sat down slowly, looking at Mu Kexiang's resolute look, and after a while, she said, "The Sixth Prince, is there any news?" ”

Mu Kexiang retracted his thoughts and replied: "The cliff is too deep to find people, but it can be concluded that they fell off the cliff by man, and the minister found a lot of corpses of people in black below, this matter should not be simple." ”

Nodding, Empress Dowager Gao looked at Mu Kexiang and said lightly: "Let's find someone to end first, the mourning family just heard that you fought against the prince in the imperial garden?" What a guts! Speaking of the back, her voice suddenly became sharper.

Mu Kexiang looked at the Empress Dowager Gao and said coldly: "Prince? The minister did not know that his father had appointed a crown prince. ”

Empress Dowager Gao's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze instantly condensed, and she shouted, "Presumptuous!" It seems that you really don't take the mourning family seriously! Or do you want to be a prince too?! ”

Fengzao Palace

As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Gao Yueli ordered someone to close the door, leaving only Xiuhe alone in the room to serve.

Xiuhe looked at the door vigilantly, and then said to Gao Yueli: "Niangniang, what did the eldest princess mean by what she said just now?" ”

On the phoenix chair, Gao Yueli's eyebrows were deeply locked, with a thoughtful look, listening to Xiuhe, she said in a deep voice: "This palace suspects, she knows something." ”

"Niangniang refers to ......" Xiuhe was startled, and quickly covered her mouth, her face was full of horror, she continued, "If you really let the eldest princess know, then wouldn't we be ......"

Gao Yueli snorted coldly, "What if you know, she has no evidence at all, otherwise according to her festival with the palace, I am afraid that she would have said it a long time ago." ”

Xiuhe nodded, and then said in admiration: "Fortunately, Niangniang wisely sealed the Ninghe Palace, and now the eldest princess can't get out at all." ”

Looking at the direction of the entrance of the hall, a grim smile appeared at the corner of Gao Yueli's mouth, "If she doesn't talk nonsense, Bengong may consider keeping her life, but if she dares to threaten Bengong, then don't blame Bengong for being ruthless." ”

"What does Niangniang mean ......" Xiuhe's eyebrows jumped, and she looked up at Gao Yueli deeply.

Gao Yueli's eyes widened, and she said coldly: "If you don't do it, kill it!" ”
