When Qiu Tang returned from Fengqi Pavilion, it was already dark, just in case, Meng Ling'er sent Qingyun to follow Qiu Tang and escort him all the way.

"Thank you." Qiu Tang stood at the door and said to Qingyun Xian Yifu.

"Now that Miss Qiu Tang has arrived safely, I should also go back. At this time, it is time for Fengqi Pavilion to be a guest. Qingyun returned the salute and turned to leave.

Qiu Tang pushed the door into the house, the silence in the courtyard made Qiu Tang put down all his disguises, two lines of clear tears slipped silently, the shrugged shoulders tore open the wound on his back, and the heart-rending pain came from his back, Qiu Tang almost lost his breath.

"Begonia?" Mother Xu's voice came from the house.

"Ma'am." Qiu Tang wiped away the tears on his cheeks and responded calmly. Qiu Tang looked at the flickering candles in the room, forced a smile on his face, and pushed open the door, "Madame, are you hungry?" ”

"Not hungry." Mother Xu looked kind, "It's been a hard day outside, let's sit down for a while." Mother Xu was half-lying on the bed, her eyes full of tenderness.

"Madame, wait a moment, I'll go cook." Qiu Tang did not sit down, but at the door away from the bed, turned around and went to the kitchen, she was afraid that if she got too close, Mother Xu would smell the smell of medicinal powder and blood on her body.

"Don't worry, come here." Qiu Tang's abnormal reaction made Xu's mother feel a little strange, every time no matter when Qiu Tang came back, she would sit next to her first and chat with her, but today she didn't even enter the door.

Qiu Tang hesitated, she knew that she couldn't hide it from Mother Xu after all, so she sighed quietly and moved to the side of Mother Xu's bed: "What does Madam command?" ”

"You're hurt?" As soon as Qiu Tang got closer, Mother Xu asked about the smell of blood hidden under the strong smell of medicinal powder.

"I accidentally got hurt." Qiu Tang was vague.

"You're not a careless person. Besides, Huachen has also taught you kung fu for a few years, I know this. What's going on? Seeing that Qiu Tang refused to speak, Xu's mother simply broke the secret of Qiu Tang's secret of secretly learning kung fu from Huachen in Xiyuan.

has said this, and Qiu Tang has to tell the truth.

Mother Xu didn't speak for a long time after listening to it. The room was quiet for a long time, and Qiu Tang said softly: "Forget it, my grievances with him have been cleared up." Madame don't have to worry about me anymore. It's not early, I'm going to cook. With that, he got up and walked towards the kitchen.

Mu Jianyu was still in a coma, but the sky was gradually brightening, You Dexing looked at Mu Jianyu in a coma, hesitated again and again, or brought Mu Jianyu's edict that rose overnight to the early dynasty. Regardless of the outcome, he will fulfill this wish for his master.

The military ministers of the Jinluan Hall are lined up on both sides, the two generals of the dragon and tiger are listed at the head of the generals, You Dexing held the holy decree with both hands and read it aloud, but just half of the reading, he was interrupted by a voice: "Who is playing right and wrong in the court and framing the prince!" Everyone looked up and saw Zhang Wan wearing a phoenix crown and a curtain entering the hall from outside.

"Concubine Xiao Guiniang!" The ministers knelt down and said goodbye.

"Get up." Zhang Wan didn't squint, walked straight up to the Jinluan Palace, stood in front of the dragon chair, and looked down at the ministers in the court from top to bottom.

"Concubine Xiao Gui Niang, this is yesterday's holy decree, please take a look." was said to be telling right and wrong, You Dexing was very annoyed, but the other party was Xiao Guifei, so he had to present the holy order.

"The saint has been in a coma, when did he wake up?" Zhang Wan did not accept the holy order handed over by You Dexing, but asked with a cold face.

"The Holy One was blessed by Heaven and the ancestors, and woke up last night." You Dexing gave a deep salute.

"Since you woke up, why didn't the Holy Lord go to court, but let you pass on some oral decree?"

"Xiao Guifei Niangniang Mingjian, because the saint found out the prince's life experience, he was angry and bloody, and he fell into a coma again for a while, so he couldn't go to court today. The last sentence of this holy decree was dictated by the saint, and the miscellaneous family did not dare to change half of the word. ”

"You keep saying that the holy decree is dictated by the saint, so let me ask you, saying that the prince is not of royal blood, but there is a certificate?"

"This ......" You Dexing made a difficulty, for Mu Lingyi's life experience, Mu Jianyu never wanted to mention it, last night's holy order was also particularly abrupt, originally You Dexing wanted to ask clearly, but he didn't want Mu Jianyu to faint as soon as he finished speaking, and now he was scolded by Zhang Wan about the credentials, You Dexing naturally didn't know where to start in his heart.

"What? Don't have credentials? If you don't have credentials, you're spewing blood! Zhang Wanxiu raised her eyebrows, and her momentum was compelling, "The eleventh prince Mu Lingyi is the prince of the holy family, and the matter of the prince's bloodline was also checked back then, as far as I know, when the bones were examined, there were two old ministers of the dynasty present, and everyone saw with their own eyes that the eleventh prince was the son of the saint, and it was the royal bloodline, and after that, the saint made the eleventh prince the prince, and now you have no evidence for your red mouth and white teeth, so you say that the prince is not the blood of the royal family, and you are not afraid of the nine clans!" Zhang Wan pressed step by step.

"Bai Xi," You Dexing finally remembered Bai Xi, Mu Jianyu quietly summoned Bai Xi several times, if it wasn't for Mu Lingyi's business, it wouldn't make sense, "Niang Niang can find Bai Xi and ask, this matter was secretly ordered by the saint to do it." ”

"Baixi? Good! Come! Go and ask Bai Xi to come! Zhang Wan smiled slightly, ordered someone to look for Bai Xi, and sat on the dragon chair.

"Niangniang......" You Dexing wanted to stop it, but seeing that the ministers had no objection to Zhang Wan sitting on the dragon chair, it was difficult to speak.

About a tea time, the guard who went to look for Bai Xi came back: "Qi Xiao Guifei Niangniang, Bai Xi is nowhere to be found." ”

"You Dexing, what else do you have to say?" Zhang Wan looked back at You Dexing with a playful smile.

"......" You Dexing is completely out of line. Mu Jianyu is in a coma, Bai Xi doesn't know where to go, although Zhang Wan in front of him is not the queen, but he is the head of the harem concubines, and now the phoenix crown and Xia Wei led people to break into the Jinluan Palace, and sat on the dragon chair blatantly, obviously coming for the throne.

"Royal Guard!" Seeing that Zhang Wan's face was not good, the second general of the dragon and tiger shouted urgently.

"Hmph," Zhang Wan snorted coldly, "You two teamed up with You Dexing to try to disrupt the government and seek power and usurp the throne, but now that the matter has been exposed, you are still so arrogant!" Where are the prince's guards! Zhang Wan's face turned cold and shouted loudly.

"In!" There was a response from the door of the main hall.

"Immediately take down You Dexing and other traitorous thieves! Protect my prince from the throne! As soon as Zhang Wan's voice fell, more than a dozen people broke into the hall and tied up You Dexing and Long Hu.

"Where's the celebrant officer?" Zhang Wan saw that the three of them were bound, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Weichen knocked on Xiao Guifei Niangniang!" Officials of the Ministry of Rites went out to bow down.

"All the ceremonial items are ready?"

"Back to Niangniang, according to Niangniang's instructions, it has already been prepared, just wait for His Highness to ascend the throne."

"Good! Welcome the crown prince to the throne immediately! When the words landed, the civil and military officials bowed their heads and shouted: "The ministers welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the throne!" ”

"How?" An Jieyu twisted the Buddha beads, and there was silence in the palace.

"Those outsiders took control of the royal guards of the Holy Lord last night, and at this moment, I heard that Concubine Xiao Guifei had ordered someone to kidnap the two generals, You Dexing and Long Hu, and at this time, they are ordering the ceremonial officer to welcome the crown prince to the throne." Mu Linghong stood behind An Jieyu and replied respectfully.

"Hong'er, are you willing to ascend the throne and sit in the palace?" An Jieyu stopped the twisted Buddha beads and asked lightly.

"My son didn't want to, but for the sake of my sister and mother, I will definitely take the throne!" Mu Linghong's teeth rattled.

"Hong'er, the ancients had a salary to taste the gall, do you understand?"

"Mother......" Mu Linghong is familiar with the allusion of lying on the salary and tasting courage, but he doesn't understand why his mother mentioned it at this time.

"Zhang Wan was able to tie up You Dexing and Long Hu, because there is a strong strength behind him, and this force is the group of outsiders you see, that is, the Qimu people. At this time, the Qimu clan is strong and strong, and they have been planning for this matter for many years, if you take it by force, you will inevitably fail. And we, we can't afford to lose. There was a hint of imperceptible loneliness in An Jieyu's voice. She has already lost a daughter because of that incompetent Mu Jianyu, and she can no longer lose her only son.

"The mother's words, the son remembered." Mu Linghong had to admit that what his mother said was right.

"When the new emperor ascends the throne, you will go to congratulate with a generous gift, and then ask to leave the city and go back to your fiefdom, in addition, you must take the initiative to cut out a part of the fief and return it to the new emperor, so as to show that you only want to be an idle prince who does not care about political affairs and provide for your mother. If he refuses, he must ask again and again until he agrees. ”

"My son understood." Mu Linghong bowed deeply to An Jieyu's back.

"I must ask the new emperor to promise you to take me out of the palace with me." An Jieyu turned around and looked at Mu Linghong's eyes with tears in her eyes.

"Mother rest assured." Mu Linghong took An Jieyu's cold hand.

"Mother Meng, since the death of the Queen Mother, the city has not moved the loudspeaker for many days, why did you blow the horn today?" Qiu Tang straightened the clumps of silk threads in Fengqi Pavilion and asked in a low voice.

"Today the new emperor ascends the throne." Meng Ling'er also lowered her voice and replied.

"The Holy One has died today?" Qiu Tang stopped.

"Shhhhh......h Meng Ling'er's voice was lowered a little more.

"The new emperor is the one who entered the city not long ago?"

"No, it was the Seventh Prince who entered the city not long ago, and it was the Eleventh Prince who ascended the throne and sat in the palace."

"Eleventh Prince......" Qiu Tang muttered in a low voice.

"Congratulations on the new emperor's accession to the throne!" The ministers of the court and the central government knelt down on the Jinluan Palace, and the town and mountain shouted.

On the Jinluan Palace, on the pure gold dragon chair, Mu Lingyi sat upright, wearing a black gold dragon and phoenix robe, embroidering a dragon in front and a phoenix in the back, wearing a gilt bead on his head and twelve crowns, red lips and white teeth, sitting majestically. He glanced at the ministers: "All the love is exempt." ”

The officials got up, lined up in shifts, all lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, holding their breath and concentrating. Mu Lingyi looked around: "Today, it is the auspicious day of my accession to the throne, when the world is amnesty, the whole world celebrates, however, You Dexing and others listen to slander and plot rebellion, the crime is unforgivable!" Tomorrow at noon, ask for a slash! I respect my adoptive mother Xiao Guifei as the queen mother, and my father as the emperor, and I should support her with a great peace. ”

"You Dexing ......" Mu Jianyu was lying on the bed, and when he heard the horn of the new emperor ascending the throne outside, he was a little flustered for no reason.

"Holy Lord, Grandpa You hasn't come back yet." The little eunuch outside the door pushed the door and answered.

"The new emperor has ascended the throne?"

"Yes." The little eunuch replied.

"Who is it?" Mu Jianyu struggled to pull on the bed with all his strength and stood up halfway.

"Emperor Taishang, are you sick and confused? Of course, it is your Royal Highness the Crown Prince who ascended the throne! "It was Xiao Guifei who spoke, the current Queen Mother. She had just come down from the court, just in time for Mu Jianyu to ask who the eunuch was who had ascended the throne.
