At night, silent as water, the evening breeze in late spring has been softer and not too cold, inside the palace walls, a large group of Praetorian Guards walked forward, patrolling the corners of the palace.

A black shadow suddenly flew up to the eaves from the outside, she kicked the eaves with her feet, shuttled directly on the glazed tiles, looked at the soldiers patrolling below, her eyes sank, this palace has been more and more Janissaries recently, and the last time she came, the garrison was not so strict.

She stopped suddenly, stood on the eaves, and was not in a hurry to go down. As far as the eye could see, a palace stood alone, unguarded there, but it was brightly lit inside.

I don't know how long it took to pass, all the Praetorian Guards below left, and there was no one under the palace wall, and after the people on the eaves looked around, they jumped down directly and walked towards the brightly lit palace.

Zhengqian Palace

In the palace, the candle flame flickered, silently, only the sound of people's breathing could be heard slightly, and on the top desk, a man in a bright yellow dragon robe was reading the recital. He flipped through the folds, frowning from time to time.

And at this time, there was a sudden "squeak", and the outside door was pushed open all of a sudden.

Listening to this voice, the man on the desk did not look unusual, he put down the fold in his hand, stood up at the same time, looked at the person who came in outside and said casually: "You are here!" ”

As soon as she walked in, Yun Yan heard this voice, her eyebrows tightened, and she looked at the tall man with an awe-inspiring expression, he knew that she would come? How can it be? But looking at the calm look between his eyebrows, he didn't see any surprise, and he was clearly confident.

Yun Yan glanced around, there was no one ambushed here, she was a little relieved, she closed the door directly, walked towards the main hall, and when she reached the center, she stopped and looked at the majestic man above.

"It seems that the emperor has already guessed that he will come to the next meeting?" Yun Yan put his hands behind his back and said indifferently. She glanced at the man's expression above, his eyes were calm and calm.

Mu Yangtian looked at the people below, every time he saw these eyes, he unconsciously gave birth to a chill, such a clear and silent look made people unforgettable, it was like a bottomless pool, which made people sink unconsciously. Thinking of this, he shook his head unconsciously, as if he remembered something from the past.

"The head of the Helian family has already arrived in this cool capital, presumably the grain, grass and silver for the relief of the victims have already reached the hands of the victims, I think, you will definitely come to explain this matter to me." Mu Yangtian came back to his senses, but if it weren't for those eyes, it would be difficult for him to connect him with the man in plain clothes and snow.

Hearing this, Yun Yan's eyes widened suddenly, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, Mu Yangtian actually knew that Chunqiao had come to Liangdu? How is it possible, although Chunqiao is rich, he rarely shows up. But he knew that it only showed ...... His intelligence network is quite sophisticated. Thinking of this, her expression was cold, looking at the people above, the person who can be the emperor really can't be underestimated. In this way, nothing that happened in this imperial capital could be hidden from him.

However, just for a moment, Yun Yan gathered his mind and said lightly: "It seems that everything can't be hidden from the emperor, and I really want to come here today to tell the emperor that my promise to you has been fulfilled." It's just that since the emperor is here to wait for the arrival of Zaixia, I think he has something to say to Zaixia. Saying that, she raised her eyebrows and looked at the people above, the reason why Mu Yangtian did not covet the Helian family's property was that he wanted to deal with her. So why didn't she ask directly, so as not to be in a passive situation.

His expression sank, Mu Yangtian looked at the man standing below, although his tone was flat and his momentum was exhausted, but the sharp edge of his whole body was still impossible to ignore. Is this the Seventh Son who is praised by the world? Oh, it's all really interesting.

"Remember the last time I said to you?" Mu Yangtian put his hands behind his back, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.

What was said last time? Hearing this, a trace of doubt flashed in Yun Yan's eyes, and she subconsciously asked, "What does the emperor mean by this?" ”

Looking at the searching gaze below, Mu Yangtian's expression tightened, did he forget? After thinking about it, he said: "I only have one daughter, Princess Zhaoyang, so she has been favored more than other princes since she was a child, so naturally she has developed this problem......

Hearing this, Yun Yan's eyes sank, did he want to regret it? Thinking of this, she suddenly looked at Mu Yangtian, interrupted his words, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, you promised to be here last time, and you said that you were unwilling to marry Princess Zhaoyang, you have no jokes, please remember your promise." ”

Looking at the man below who resolutely refused, Mu Yangtian's eyes turned and said lightly: "Seventh Prince, you seem to have misunderstood my words, hmph." Speaking of this, he snorted coldly, his eyes fell on Yun Yan, and said with an unkind face, "I am a daughter of Princess Zhaoyang, so naturally I will not marry her off at will, but what happened outside the mansion during the day today makes me really worried, and I will not allow her to be hurt in any way." I just want you to dispel her desire to marry you once and for all. ”

It turned out to be this, Yun Yan was relieved, but suddenly, she thought of someone in her mind, isn't Mu Jingnan his son? Why did he treat him so cruelly, he was so kind to his daughter, why was he alone with Mu Jingnan...... Could it be that Mu Jingnan is really not his son? But thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, how could she think of him! Suddenly, she thought of something, she raised her head and looked at the majestic man above, sure enough, sure enough, he knew what was happening in this cool capital, he was the yellow finch hiding behind the praying mantis, watching everything, but no one noticed.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, even if you don't say it, you will do it in the future." Yun Yan retracted her gaze and said indifferently, she rolled her eyes and continued, "Since you have agreed to the emperor's request, should the emperor also agree to your request as a deal?" ”

Hearing this, Mu Yangtian's eyes narrowed, looking at the man standing below, where did he get the courage to bargain with him, and still want to make a deal with him? This person seems to never put himself on the passive side, and his casual words actually made him grasp the handle, heh, I really can't underestimate him. This is also what he admires about him.

"Then talk to me about it." Mu Yangtian sat back on the chair and looked at the people below and said.

The corners of Yun Yan's mouth hooked slightly, she took a step forward, looked at Mu Yangtian, and said in a deep voice: "During today's trial, I heard Yang Ao say that the case of Dingguo Gong's treason back then was caused by Gao Qi's false accusations. ”

Implore? Hearing this, Mu Yangtian frowned, and looked at the man standing below, his eyes were extremely firm, but when did he say something about pleading for such a weakness, it was rare for him to see it today.

"What if I don't promise you?" Mu Yangtian's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he said indifferently, but his eyes fell on the person below, as if he wanted to take all her expressions in his eyes.

Yun Yan raised her head and looked at Mu Yangtian, for a while, she suddenly said indifferently: "Whether the emperor agrees or not, it seems that there is no loss in the lower than the next, and now most of the people in this Liangdu know that the Duke of Dingguo was framed back then, and if the emperor does not make a will, I am afraid that it will attract a lot of speculation at that time, such as ......" Speaking of this, she paused, looked at Mu Yangtian above, and her eyes were clear.

"Like what?" Mu Yangtian's face sank and asked.

Yun Yan turned around, her back to Mu Yangtian, her eyes were like knives looking ahead, and she said coldly: "For example, the emperor instructed Gao Qi to frame Dingguo Gong behind the scenes, in order to be afraid that the Dingguo Gong Gong Gao Zhen Lord would threaten the emperor, and he wanted to get rid of this henchman." She didn't know much about what happened back then, but this is also a possibility, after all, Mu Yangtian is the emperor, no emperor wants his power to be threatened, she remembers that at that time, Mu Jingnan also told her like this, thinking of this, her eyebrows were cold, why did she think of him again!

"Smack!" With a bang, Mu Yangtian slapped his hand on the table, he looked at the people below and shouted angrily: "Do you know that based on what you just said, I can kill you!" ”

The air suddenly seemed to drop in temperature, and a cold breath permeated out, and after a while, Yun Yan came back to her senses, she tilted her head, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and looked at it, is this annoyed and angry? Her expression was cold, and she said indifferently, "Your Majesty, your words are too frightening to ordinary people, and your own life doesn't seem to be very important in the countryside. However, what Fang just said below is just for example, how can the emperor take it seriously. ”

As soon as these words came out, Mu Yangtian's face became more and more bad, looking at the person with his back to him, a trace of annoyance flashed on his face, and suddenly he snorted softly, when was he so angry by a junior.

"The Dingguo Gong case is widely implicated, I need to think about it, and Yang Ao's words may not be credible, I don't want people in the government and the opposition to panic." Mu Yangtian suddenly said in a low voice, his face cloudy

The so-called wide implication is just a pretext, he has some scruples, she doesn't want to understand this court politics at all, these intrigues are really tiring.

"Your Majesty, if you don't let the truth surface because you are afraid that your dragon power will be damaged, it will only attract more suspicion. For the monarch is not afraid of losing the land, because the land can be recovered if it is lost, but once the people's hearts are lost, the country will not be a country, and what awaits is the destruction of the country. In the case of Dingguo Gong back then, didn't you hesitate for a moment? If you have half a hesitation in your heart, then the people are even more puzzled about this, Dingguogong's family has been loyal and good for generations, and Dingguogong has made countless meritorious contributions, how can he collaborate with the enemy and commit treason overnight, and it is because of a Wei Changming. If you can't clear your grievances for Dingguo Gong and continue to shield Gao Qi, I'm afraid the people will be difficult to trust this court. Yun Yan then said.

Is the country not a country? Hearing this, Mu Yangtian's eyebrows furrowed again, he looked at the man standing below, Xu was affected by emotions, and his eyebrows seemed to have lost his calm, even through this veil, he could see clearly.

"Sure enough, the seventh prince has a thorough understanding of political affairs, and I have to tell you again that I hope you can be an official in the court, so I will definitely promise you to overturn the case for Dingguogong." Mu Yangtian looked at the people below and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Yun Yan's eyebrows rose, and she said with a light smile: "The emperor's words are easy to misunderstand, and it is just a casual mention of the case for Dingguo Gong, if the emperor is unwilling, it seems that he can't force it, but for the sake of the cohesion of the people, the emperor seems to think about it." ”

Mu Yangtian's eyebrows twisted, looking at the man standing below, his eyes were shining with wisdom at the moment, heh, it was obvious that he was asking for something, but he didn't let himself be in a passive situation anyway?

"In that case, I promise you that I will thoroughly investigate the case of the Duke of Dingguo, and besides, I originally intended to let Li Zhiye try this case." Mu Yangtian said lightly.

Yun Yan glanced at Mu Yangtian in surprise, so did he let Mu Kexiang and Mu Qingyuan take over Gao Qi's corruption case? If Li is allowed to try the latter part, there is nothing to try, after all, the case is only waiting for a conviction. And he asked Li Zhiye to try the case of Ding Guogong, which can only show that he wanted to pull out the radish and bring out the mud this time and wipe out those people, and she remembered that the holy decree came not long after she left, or the will of Mu Kexiang himself, then this can only show that he wanted to use this to overturn the case for Guo Gong from the beginning. So he just ...... Just trying to trick her up? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at the person above, what did he want to do? Oh, sure enough, the monarchs are people with deep thoughts.

Seeing that the matter had come to an end, Yun Yan retracted his gaze and said lightly: "What I promised the emperor will definitely be done in the future, if the emperor has no more orders, I will leave in the future." The words were so, but Yun Yan didn't wait for Mu Yangtian to speak, and directly turned around and walked outside.

At this time, the man sitting in the hall suddenly stood up, and he looked at the man who was walking towards the door and suddenly said, "Do you remember what I said to you last time?" ”

Hearing this, Yun Yan squatted down, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, he had also said this just now, she turned around and asked, "What does the emperor mean by this?" ”

"I take back my words." Mu Yangtian looked at the figure in front of him and said lightly.

Take back the previous words? Hearing this, Yun Yan became more and more puzzled, did he mean that Fang Cai's words didn't count? Thinking of this, her expression sank, but it didn't seem right, there was a trace of loneliness and loneliness in his eyes, looking at this look, something seemed to flash in her mind.

It seems that when she was leaving that night, Mu Yangtian said a word to her, but what was it exactly? She couldn't remember it for a moment.

"This is the first time I've seen him care so much about a person." Mu Yangtian sighed quietly, looked at Yun Yan, and said in a low voice, "If I had known that it was you, I might not have said that to you that day." ”
