Handaki Pavilion, when Gao Qi rushed back, it was calm again, as if Yang Ao's arrest had never happened.

"Gaoke, what's going on?" Gao Qi flicked his sleeves and carried it with one hand, he frowned, looked at the door of the Hansaki Pavilion in front of him, and said coldly.

A man in a strong suit behind him hurriedly stepped forward, he leaned over and whispered: "My lord, according to the report from the spies, it was here just now that Yang Ao was arrested, and the person who arrested him was still the fourth prince." ”

"You mean the Fourth Prince?" Gao Qi tilted his head and glared at the man and said, with obvious consternation on his face.

Gao Ke didn't dare to hide it, and said in a low voice: "Yes." ”

"Hmph, Yang Ao is really useless!" Gao Qi almost gritted his teeth and said.

Gao Ke also had a calm face, he glanced at Handaki Pavilion, looked at Gao Qi, and said, "What should I do now?" If Yang Ao explained everything, wouldn't we ......"

"Don't worry, he doesn't dare, his whole family is still in my hands, besides, is he willing to be glorious and rich? If he admits it, he knows that I will not let him go. Gao Qi stroked his beard and said gloomily.

Gao Ke nodded, and he continued: "Besides, Yang Ao was captured by the Fourth Prince, and the Emperor will definitely hand him over to the Fourth Prince, and when the time comes, according to the relationship between the Fourth Prince's and you, I am afraid that he will not do anything unfavorable to you." ”

Hearing this, Gao Qi's eyes sank slightly, handed it over to Qingyuan? If it were possible, he would have liked someone else.

Beside him, Gao Ke saw that Gao Qi was silent, he thought about it and said, "I heard that Yun Mocheng's third daughter Yun Yan was also present at that time, and it was Yang Ao whom she recognized, will there be ...... in the middle?"

"Check the details of this Yunyan for me, her performance at Yunmocheng's birthday banquet that day surprised me, not to mention, the queen recently told me that the fourth prince has the intention of marrying her, and this woman has to guard against it." Gao Qi said coldly, saying that he turned around and left, and the guards behind him hurriedly followed, but Gao Ke glanced back at Handaki Pavilion, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, these things happened too coincidentally.

Palace

After returning to the palace, Mu Qingyuan went directly to the imperial study, and it happened that Mu Yangtian was summoning the minister in the imperial study, so he could only stand outside and wait.

Mu Yangtian's angry voice came from time to time in the imperial study, and Mu Qingyuan's eyebrows also frowned from time to time, now the situation is getting more and more serious, there are even riots in the suburbs of the imperial capital, and it is normal for his father to be angry, but thinking that he caught Yang Ao, he also felt a little comforted in his heart.

Xiao next to him glanced at the door of the imperial study, and there was no eunuch who came out to summon him, he thought about it again and again, and whispered to Mu Qingyuan on the side: "Lord Wang, do you think something is wrong with this matter?" ”

Hearing this, Mu Qingyuan couldn't help but look at him, and said suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Yao's eyebrows were full of thought, and he said in a low voice: "Why is that red sleeve knowing that Yang Ao is in Handaki Pavilion?" It stands to reason that Yang Aozhi is wanted by the whole world, he should be quite secretive, how could he be discovered so easily? And isn't that red sleeve the person of the Six Princes? Looking at the expression of the six princes holding the red sleeves and letting the red sleeves tell everything, the subordinates thought, could all this be arranged by the six princes in advance, and let you catch Yang Ao through the mouth of the red sleeves? Everything in this Handasaki Pavilion is directed by him. ”

Hearing this, Mu Qingyuan frowned, is that so? But what good is this for Mu Jingnan? He has never been favored by his father, if he really knew that Yang Ao was in Handaki Pavilion, wouldn't he have caught him in person, and then got his father's praise?

With a wave of his hand, Mu Qingyuan said in a deep voice: "It is indeed possible for him to know the Dao, but what about the Dao?" Don't forget, he is just a concubine, he has no power or power, even if he wants to make meritorious contributions, it is just empty talk. Besides, if he had been to the Handsaki Pavilion and arranged all this, Yan Er would definitely know how to let go of it easily with his personality. ”

"What if Miss Yunsan and the Sixth Prince co-starred in this scene? Don't you think it's a little unusual for Miss Three to appear in Handasaki Pavilion? How could she, a young lady who stayed at home, go to a place with so many people alone, and besides, she just happened to find Yang Ao, how could it be a coincidence? Xiao wanted to veto it immediately, always feeling that there were many unknown things about this Yunyan, and the most important thing was that the fourth prince seemed to have other thoughts about her. If she really has a ghost in her heart, I'm afraid it will threaten the four princes.

Hearing this, Mu Qingyuan sank his mind, thinking about Xiao Yao's words, when they first met, she was sitting in the carriage, with a cold and arrogant expression with indifference and alienation, after the conversation she had with him in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he knew that she was not an ordinary woman.

"Yan Er, she has always acted differently, and this king believes in her. What's more, how could a woman as arrogant as her fall in love with a profligate person like Mu Jingnan, so she would never be able to stand with him. Mu Qingyuan said indifferently.

"But, the prince ......," Xiao wanted to continue.

"Well, no need to say it." Mu Qingyuan raised his hand and signaled that Xiao didn't need to say any more.

Xiao wanted to look at Mu Qingyuan's resolute look, he sighed slightly in his heart, I hope this Yunyan is a simple woman!

It didn't take long for several ministers to come out in disgrace, and when they saw Mu Qingyuan, they all bowed and left.

"Fourth prince, the emperor announced that you are in." Xiao Chenzi, who was waiting in front of the emperor, came out, looked at Mu Qingyuan, and said respectfully.

Glancing at the departing minister, Mu Qingyuan nodded and said, "There is Lao Chen's father-in-law." As he strode towards the study, a frenzy flashing in his eyes, it was his turn to behave.

As soon as he entered the imperial study, Mu Qingyuan heard Mu Yangtian's angry scolding.

"These ministers, the ability to sneak around and shoot horses on weekdays is really too good, and when it comes to the critical moment, they don't have any ideas, what is the use of me asking for these wastes." Mu Yangtian slapped his hand on the fold, and the eunuch next to him trembled with fright, the anger of the saint has never descended in the past few days, but it has hurt them, the people who are on errand in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the fourth prince has arrived." Xiao Chenzi stood below and said respectfully.

Seeing Mu Qingyuan come in, Mu Yang Tianfu sat on the dragon chair again.

"Erchen greets his father, long live his father......" Mu Qingyuan said with a respectful salute.

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted impatiently by Mu Yangtian, "Okay, long live, if one or two more of these things happen, I will be angry to death immediately." ”

"Father, ......," Mu Qingyuan shouted in a low voice.

Mu Yangtian ignored him, his eyebrows were raised, and he said directly: "Get up, I heard that you caught Yang Ao?" What's going on here? Where is Yang Ao now? ”

Mu Qingyuan stood up, he lowered his head, stood below, and said: "Back to my father, Yang Ao was caught in the Handsaki Pavilion, when he was drinking tea in the Handsaki Pavilion, and was later discovered. After that, Erchen happened to pass by and happened to arrest Yang Ao. He is now being held in prison. ”

"Oh?! Did you pass by Yang Ao by chance? So since Yang Ao was discovered, who was discovered? Mu Yangtian looked at Mu Qingyuan, his eyes were full of scrutiny.

Hearing this tone, Mu Qingyuan's eyebrows jumped, and he hurriedly said softly: "It was discovered by a small guy." ”

"Is that really the case?" Mu Yangtian's eyes were firmly fixed on Mu Qingyuan, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Being stared at like this, Mu Qingyuan only felt sweaty in his palms, was his father suspicious of him? It was the first time he had this sense of urgency.

"You did a good job in this matter, but how did you do the relief of the victims in this cool capital?" Mu Yangtian changed the topic, looked at Mu Qingyuan and said lightly.

Seeing that Mu Yangtian did not continue to ask, Mu Qingyuan was also relieved in his heart, and he said respectfully: "Father, rest assured, the sons have gathered many merchants in the imperial capital, and they all volunteered to donate silver taels and grain to the imperial court. It's just ......" At this point, he paused.

"Just what?" Mu Yangtian picked up the fold on the table and looked at it, and asked casually.

Mu Qingyuan continued: "It's just that there is one family that is slow to cooperate, or what he donates is completely disproportionate to what he has. ”

"Donate too little? Which one is it? Mu Yangtian flipped through the folds, his eyes looked at the content on it, and said disapprovingly.

Raising his eyes slightly, Mu Qingyuan glanced at Mu Yangtian, and said in a deep voice: "Linglong Pavilion, this Linglong Pavilion is the largest merchant in the imperial capital, but the amount of silver they donate is the same as that of ordinary merchants. ”

"If a businessman doesn't love money like his life, it's normal for them to donate less." Mu Yangtian said indifferently.

Mu Qingyuan immediately said: "But now is the time when the imperial court is in danger, these merchants don't want to serve the country, hoarding Juqi, this is obviously ignoring the majesty of our imperial court, how can they let it go?" ”

Hearing this, Mu Yangtian frowned tightly and said nothing.

Glancing at Mu Yangtian again, Mu Qingyuan arched his hand and said: "Linglong Pavilion is the largest merchant in my Dongyue Kingdom, if we can get his financial help, given time, if Nanyao Kingdom really comes to attack, at least in terms of silver, we will have no worries." If we add the help of the Helian family in Xiangcheng, the number one grain merchant in Dongyue Kingdom, no matter how strong Nanyao Kingdom is, we should not be afraid. ”

Mu Yangtian suddenly looked up at Mu Qingyuan, who was standing below, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "Do you have any good suggestions?" ”

"The best way to do this is to make them your own." Mu Qingyuan lowered his head and said with Heshun.

Own? Mu Yangtian's eyebrows furrowed even deeper, he looked at Mu Qingyuan, a trace of awe-inspiring color appeared in his eyes, he really deserved to be the son he cultivated single-handedly, he knew some political skills, and even used marriage.

"Think about this again." Mu Yangtian threw the fold in the center of the table to the side, but the tea handed over by the eunuch next to him took a sip.

"Father, don't you want to know where Zhaoyang has gone out of the palace these days?" Hearing that Mu Yangtian was going to think about this matter, Mu Qingyuan couldn't help but say.

Mu Yangtian suddenly put the tea cup in his hand on the table, and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to say?" What does this matter have to do with Zhaoyang? ”

"The places Zhaoyang has been going to these days are all Linglong Pavilion." Mu Qingyuan lowered his head and said.

As soon as he heard this, Mu Yangtian suddenly threw the teacup in his hand to the ground, and with a snap, the porcelain pieces on the ground were shattered, and the cold sweat on Xiao Chenzi's face next to him broke out, and he didn't know that Lu Dao was the first cup to be dropped today.

"Father, if Zhaoyang can marry the seventh prince, this Linglong Pavilion will be owned by the royal family in the future, and if the second brother or sixth brother can marry the head of the Helian family, then the Helian family's property will also be used by us." Mu Jingnan stood there and continued to speak.

With a "snap", Mu Yangtian suddenly stood up, his hand slapped directly on the table, and he said angrily: "Are you letting me sell my daughter?" Zhaoyang, she's your own sister. ”

Mu Qingyuan said sincerely: "Erchen is also thinking about Zhaoyang when he says this, instead of letting Zhaoyang marry someone he doesn't like in the future, it is better to let her marry the object of his heart, Erchen has seen the seventh son, he is a talent, and besides, this Linglong Pavilion is rich and rivals the country, and he will not let Zhaoyang be wronged in the future." ”

"Shinong Gongshang, you let me marry my daughter to the lowest businessman, hum, what a far-sighted fourth prince, a good virtuous king, get out of the way for me!" Mu Yangtian pointed at Mu Qingyuan and shouted loudly.

Seeing that Mu Yangtian was angry, Mu Qingyuan hurriedly knelt on the ground, his mind was turning, if this matter was stopped, he might have no hope of winning over the seventh prince.

"Father, what the sons said is all for our Dongyue country, now when the internal and external troubles are coming, we can only do this extraordinary method, if he is fighting from the Nanyao Kingdom in the future, the sons will also take the lead and lead the soldiers to the border to resist the enemy, and will not retreat or return." Mu Qingyuan knelt on the ground.

Listening to Mu Qingyuan's words, the anger on Mu Yangtian's face gradually subsided, and he slowly sat down, he held his head and said in a low voice, "Let me think about it." ”

At this moment, Mu Qingyuan knelt on the ground, he didn't hear Mu Yangtian's reproach, the corners of his mouth hooked, Seventh Prince, this time, it depends on what you should do.

The Mansion of the Six Kings

In the study, at this moment, a man in a white python robe sat at the top, his brows were furrowed, and a man below looked at him, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Say whatever you want." Mu Jingnan said in a slightly calm voice.

Gu Yaocheng pondered for a moment and said: "Today, you take the red sleeves, and tell Mu Qingyuan through the mouth of the red sleeves that Yang Ao is in the Handsaki Pavilion, aren't you afraid that Mu Qingyuan will suspect you?" He'll think it's all laid out by you. ”

"What if he thinks I've set it all up? Motivation? What motivation do I have to do these things? At most, he thought that I wanted to get Mu Yangtian's favor. With a light snort, Mu Jingnan's phoenix eyes turned slightly, and he looked at Gu Yaocheng and said, with a hint of treachery in his eyes.

Hearing this, Gu Yaocheng suddenly laughed, he looked at Mu Jingnan, his expression was full of admiration, and he said: "That's right, in his opinion, with your identity, you can't compete with him for the position of prince, he should be more at ease with you than the second prince." However, it was the first time I had seen some people swept away. Speaking of this, his eyebrows and eyes were full of ridicule of Mu Jingnan.

Shaking his head slightly, the corners of Mu Jingnan's mouth hooked slightly, I am afraid that she is the only woman in this world who can treat him like this, but the more this is the case, the more warm he feels.

Looking at the smile on Mu Jingnan's lips, the smile on Gu Yaocheng's face gradually faded, and he said in a deep voice: "It's not a good thing for you and her that you can't let go of it like this, hey, I really don't know where this Yunyan attracted our handsome and dashing Sixth Prince." Speaking of the back, he couldn't stop shaking his head.

What attracted him? In fact, he didn't know the way, maybe it was because of that glance, and since then that figure has been engraved on his heart. Mu Jingnan looked outside, this spring was very good, but in the days when there was no her in the past, he rarely paid attention to this, and now with her, he was more willing to see this world, just because he wanted to be closer to her.

"On the shore of Liangyue Lake, you clearly asked Red Sleeves to direct that scene, isn't the purpose to draw a clear relationship between you and Yunyan? But now that you are entangled with her, you will only add trouble to her, and the hatred of women is sometimes far more terrible than we think. Gu Yaocheng continued, thinking of everything he saw when he returned to the shore of Liangyue Lake that day, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart, and her ruthlessness really couldn't be hidden.

Hearing this, Mu Jingnan's thoughts were instantly pulled back, his thin lips opened lightly, and a hint of softness flashed between his eyes, "Give up, it seems that when facing her, I can't do anything." I want to ......," he clenched his slender fingers and smiled warmly, "I want to hold her hand like this, even if I will die tomorrow, I want to hold it tightly now." ”

Is he evil? Lonely City sighed slightly, he was just like his mother, even if he knew that he was a moth to the fire, he still moved forward, that momentum was too similar.

Retracting his thoughts, Gu Yaocheng continued: "I don't know who Yang Ao's case will be handed over to for trial, if it is handed over to Mu Qingyuan for trial, I am afraid that the Gao family will still be unscrupulous, after all, they are nephews and uncles. ”

Shaking his head slightly, Mu Jingnan chuckled, "You don't know Mu Qingyuan too well, what he cares about most is not the relationship between nephews and uncles, if one day he really succeeds to the throne as emperor, the first thing he does may be to destroy the Gao family." ”

Looking at Mu Jingnan in astonishment, Gu Yaocheng wanted to speak, but looking at Mu Jingnan's expression, he calmed down, in this way, it was much easier.

Cloud Mansion, Suxuan Pavilion

As soon as Yun Yan entered the door, he heard a burst of frolicking in Suxuan Pavilion, and the loudest sound was no other than clear water. This girl gets carried away when she is happy, but it is rare that Aunt Rong and Ling Bo are also here today.

Seeing that Yun Yan was back, Rong Lu and Ling Bo hurriedly stood up from the stool next to the table, saluted her and said, "Miss." ”

Smiling slightly, Yun Yan stepped forward to hold Rong Lu and Ling Bo's hands, and said, "Sit down, you don't have to be formal in my Suxuan Pavilion." With that, she pressed them both back into their seats.

"Miss Xie." Rong Lu's face was full of smiles, but Ling Bo was still jerky, hanging his head.

Yun Yan was helpless, Ling Bo's girl was shy by nature, and she only hoped that she could let go in the future.

Bishui next to her didn't notice this, she took Yun Yan's hand, pointed to the box on the table, brocade and the like, and said, "Miss, look." ”

Looking at Bi Shui's treasure-like appearance, Yun Yan smiled slightly, this girl is rarely so excited, how can she pour cold water, she turned her head to look at the pile of miscellaneous things on the table, and said with a smile at Bi Shui: "This is the gift you bought for Leng Xue?" ”

"Yes, you see how good this blue satin is, I went to the best cloth village in this cool capital to buy, he wears black all year round in the cold snow, he is not tired, I am tired of seeing it." Saying that, Bishui put down the cloth in his hand, picked up another box, and said with joy, "This is the osmanthus cake of Babaozhai, it is delicious, and he will definitely like it in cold snow." Saying that she was relieved of the box, she picked up another box and said, "This is all good medicine for healing, give it to him, and he will be able to use it when he walks the rivers and lakes in the future, and encounters danger." As she spoke, she asked for something else.

Yun Yan took Bi Shui's hand and said with a smile: "I see, after marrying Bi Shui, he doesn't need anything for Leng Xue." ”

"Miss......" Bi Shui's face turned red, and Rong Lu and Ling Bo next to him couldn't help but smile.

Rong Lu stepped forward, took Bishui's hand, looked at her and said, "This Bishui girl is so good, this Leng Xue boy will not be bad if she thinks about it." Speaking of this, she unconsciously looked at Ling Bo and said, "It's like us Ling Bo, ...... in this life."

Seeing that the topic was pulled to Ling Bo again, Yun Yan glanced at Bi Shui and motioned for her to stand down.

Yun Yan stepped forward, took Rong Lu's hand, looked at her and said, "Aunt Rong, don't worry, Ling Bo's affairs are my business, and when I settle down here, I will find a good family for Ling Bo." As she spoke, she looked at Ling Bo, and she didn't know what kind of person Ling Bo liked, and it was not time to tell Aunt Rong about this matter now, so she could only wait until Ling Bo himself said it.

"Well, thank you, Miss." Rong Lu said gratefully.

Ling Bo next to her looked at Yun Yan, she wrung the handkerchief in her hand, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped, with a little sadness between her eyebrows.

One afternoon, Yun Yan was listening to Bi Shui's nagging about Leng Xue's gifts, Bi Shui would say buy this and say buy that, she couldn't help but sigh, how could this be endured by the cold snow.

Ling Bo was a little uncomfortable, so Bishui went to her room to accompany her at night, but came back halfway to sprinkle water on the camellia in the room.

After Bishui left, Yun Yan raised his head and looked at the pot of camellia on the flower stand, the aroma of this camellia is really good, but it is rare to see that Bishui is so attentive, but she knows that she takes care of this camellia. However, this camellia is a potted plant, and this sprinkling is a bit redundant.

The night gradually sank, Xu was too tired these days, Yun Yan gradually became sleepy, and went directly to bed to rest.

The whole Dongyuan was extremely silent, but Yun Yan on the bed was tossing and turning, I don't know what Lu Dao was about, she couldn't sleep more and more, and her body was so hot, as if something was burning in her body, she unconsciously loosened the button on her chest, but it was still hot.

"Sonorous and sonorous", Yun Yan woke up suddenly, she rubbed her eyes, and supported her body, this body seemed to have no strength, she looked in the direction of the door, as if someone was knocking on the door.

Just as Yun Yan was pondering, there was a sudden "bang", the door opened, and several uneven footsteps came.

Yun Yan frowned, continued to prop himself up, and said in a deep voice: "What person? However, as soon as the words came out, she was stunned, she covered her mouth tightly, when was her voice so soft?
