Qing Ling was not familiar with Ling Xiao City, but fortunately, her cultivation was not weak, she sneaked out of the palace, and then transformed into a man, swaggering in the night market, but she didn't attract anyone's attention.

She inquired around, found Chun Yu's mansion in the capital, and came to the door to ask to see Chun Yuyan.

Today, Hu Bianhai said something in front of Emperor Hao, if he suddenly summoned Mu Chen to confront him, wouldn't he be exposed?

Qing Ling didn't dare to go directly to see Mu Chen, so he turned to Chun Yuyan and asked him to help with the conversation.

Unexpectedly, the little guy at the door told Qingling that the second son had something to do and went out, and he didn't know when he would come back. Qingling asked where she went, but when the little guy saw her face, he refused to tell him, only saying that he didn't know.

Chun Yu's mansion is located in the prime area of Lingxiao City, surrounded by all the celebrities of the family, and the nearby streets and alleys are also heavily guarded. In desperation, she had to retreat to the side of the alley and wait patiently.

The main road is brightly lit, people come and go, laughter is endless, and it is a lively night scene of the bustling metropolis. Qingling silently stopped and watched, with indescribable mixed tastes in his heart. She remembered the quiet night in Chongwu Mountain, the time she spent with Mu Chen in the northern town, and couldn't help but be afraid and disgusted by the scenery in front of her that was incompatible with her experience of more than three hundred years.

The bustle and prosperity that I once longed for with great curiosity, in fact, what kind of dark and gloomy clouds are hidden?

I don't know how long later, a magnificent carriage stopped in front of the mansion.

Chun Yuyan slowly put on his light robe, hugged a bewitching beauty, and slowly got out of the car.

Qing Ling leaned out of the shadows at the entrance of the alley and shouted hesitantly: "Chun Yu Gongzi." ”

Chun Yuyan looked at it, recognized Qing Ling, and lowered his head and whispered a few words to the woman in his arms. Na Mei Ji pouted unhappily, twisted into the carriage, and walked away.

Chun Yuyan walked up to Qing Ling and said jokingly in a suppressed voice: "The emperor will come to the house in the future, can you change to a more beautiful woman's appearance?" I don't want others to misunderstand that I have any special habits. ”

Qing Ling bent down and pounded his sore legs, and said angrily: "Don't play tricks with me, I have something serious to tell you!" ”

Yan took Qing Ling to a nearby restaurant, asked the shopkeeper to arrange a secluded private room, waved his hand to set a ban, and asked, "I heard that you have seen Your Majesty today?" ”

Qing Ling was convinced: "Your news is really well-informed." ”

Chun Yuyan smiled and said, "Am I a member of the Fourth Family?" Besides, Your Majesty used his own imperial opinion to take you into the Vermilion Bird Palace, and rewarded you with a few carts of gifts, you have to keep everyone's mouths shut and prevent the news from coming out, unless the people in Lingxiao City are completely blind. ”

Qing Ling lowered his eyes, was silent for a moment, and asked softly, "Does Mu Chen also know?" ”

Chun Yuyan poured himself a glass of wine, "Hmm." ”

Qing Ling opened his mouth, then pursed it again, hesitated for a moment, first told his reply to Emperor Hao today, and then said: "I have been making it up for a long time, and I don't know if Your Majesty will believe it." But in short, we must first let Mu Chen unify my voice with me, in case His Majesty asks him for questioning, so that he will not be exposed. ”

After a pause, she said with difficulty: "Or...... Take me to him. ”

Chun Yuyan tapped his fingers on the wine glass and paused, raising his eyes to study Qing Ling's expression, "Are you ready?" Don't feel embarrassed anymore? ”

Qing Ling's eyebrows were lowered, and his nails were digging at the surface of the peach wood desk, "Anyway...... There is no other way. Didn't you also persuade me to accept the reality early and try to get along with him as a brother and sister? As you can guess, the biggest reason why I decided to stay in Lingxiao City was to help him compete for the position of Prince...... There are so many things to plan in the future, you can't never keep seeing each other, right? ”

Chun Yuyan hooked the corners of his mouth, but his eyes became solemn, and after a while, he said slowly: "Qingling, you are completely different from me when I first met you. ”

Qing Ling secretly smiled bitterly.

So many things have happened, and the vicissitudes of life have changed, can she not change something?

Yan took a sip of wine, "Mu Chen is now under house arrest in the mansion. In addition to the guards of the forbidden army, the queen and the patriarch of Fang Shan must have also arranged for the eyeliner to go in. If I want to contact him, I have to go through the people of Hongyuefang, and if you want to meet him, it is basically impossible at the moment. ”

Moreover, the woman who listened to the message tonight said that Mu Chen's symptoms of being devoured by the divine power of the Red Soul Bead in the past few days have increased unabated. Originally, the battle of Xianxia Pass and the rescue of Qingling in the rain of arrows had caused him to consume too much divine power, and the news after that made him even worse, making him almost lose his determination to control the Red Soul Bead......

At this time, how dare Chun Yuyan let Qing Ling go to see him?

One is depressed, and the other seems to accept the facts, but is constantly betrayed by the eyes. In Lingxiao City, which is stared at by countless pairs of eyes, such a relationship is enough to make all the previous efforts go to waste!

For now, he could only wait, waiting for Mu Chen to calm down and rationally decide what path to take next......

"Red Moon Fang?" Qing Ling heard Chun Yuyan mention these three words, and vaguely felt a little familiar.

Chun Yuyan realized that his words might have been a little too much, and coughed: "It's a place where I often go to drink, and I have a few trusted friends who can help." ”

He turned the topic back to Emperor Hao and Qing Ling's father-daughter recognition, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether Your Majesty believes your words or not. The important thing is that you, a descendant of the Heavenly Emperor, have become his daughter, and the Qingyun Sword has rightfully become the thing of the Chaoyan royal family through you. He now wants to dominate the Eastern Continent, not only has strength, but also has fame. Since you have made it clear that you want to link your reputation with Mu Chen's, there is no reason for him not to reassess Mu Chen's value. ”

Qing Ling took a sip of wine, "I think so too...... Anyway, if he refuses to accept Mu Chen, I will take the Qingyun Sword and go to the Lieyang Kingdom! ”

Chun Yuyan smiled, "Instantly changed back to a little girl, didn't you?" This Sky City is different from other places, and you have to pay extra attention to what you say and do. Once your identity is revealed, the people who want to grab you will only be unable to guard against it. And those who serve you in the palace, you must not be gullible. In this Chaoyan Palace, most of the people are doing things for Queen Fangshan. ”

Qing Ling thought of the tough palace maids under Ah Jing, and nodded very instructively.

"That's right,"

She turned the cup in her hand and circled it on the table, "My junior brother...... Not...... It's the prince of Daze, who also came to Lingxiao City. ”

Chun Yuyan said: "I heard about it. He smiled, "This Baili boy is as cunning as his old son." I haven't set foot in the Central Plains for hundreds of years, and now I suddenly remember to take stock of the business in the capital. ”

Qing Ling was puzzled, "What do you mean?" ”

"After the accident at Xianxia Pass, His Majesty conducted a thorough investigation inside and outside Chaoyan. Why did the rogues of the southern countries pick this time to make trouble? How did Lieyang's army evade Chaoyan's spy camp and go south? Who was Mu Han kidnapped? His Majesty has wanted to weaken forces other than Chaoyan for a long time, and this time, he will not easily give up the opportunity to eliminate potential enemies. During the days when you were recuperating from your illness, many people in Yuzhong and Panye had been taken into prison by the envoys of Chaoyan, and there was a rumor everywhere.

The prince of Daze was in the limelight at the Ganyuan meeting, and later he was suspected of saving you and Mu Chen, plus his mother was the queen of Jiuqiu, his identity was already a little embarrassing, and sooner or later he would become one of the objects of His Majesty's suspicion. In this situation, he simply came uninvited, put on a clear conscience, and didn't know what method he used to gain Mu Han's trust and favor, and frequently went in and out of the palace. I heard Fang Shanxiu say that His Majesty had summoned him several times in private, but I didn't know what they had talked about. ”

Qing Ling thought about it and said, "In my opinion, Xiao Qi will most likely stand on Mu Han's side. When they were in Chongwu, they came very close. In addition, he has always liked Ajing, and he will definitely spare no effort to support her siblings. ”

Chun Yuyan frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "He is a shrewd person, so he will naturally lean on the side with the big win." However, the direction of the wind in the middle of the court is always unpredictable. As soon as your identity is revealed, Chaoyan's political situation should slowly change again......"

In the summer month, Emperor Yanhao issued two imperial edicts in succession.

The first one said: During the month of Mengyang, Lieyang's 100,000 troops raided the north and trapped the emperor in Xianxia Pass. Ask for battle in front of the battlefield of Mu Chen, the prince of Yanwaste, repel the enemy army, and relieve the siege and rescue the driver. The emperor felt his loyalty and bravery, and he forgave his previous sins and restored his royal title.

The second imperial edict is about Emperor Hao's second wife, Zhang Xuannu.

The edict said that he had a daughter before his death, and because the baby was born prematurely and weak, he sent it to the door of Chongwu Shengjun to seek the nourishment of the aura of Migu Ganyuan. Emperor Ji practiced in Chongwu for more than 300 years, and finally recovered, returning to Lingxiao City with the Qingyun Sword. Emperor Hao will hold a ceremony at the Centennial Festival celebration to officially welcome the Emperor back to the royal family.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a huge sensation in Chaoyan China.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys, tea houses and wine shops. If the return of Prince Muchen is just another addition to his existing legend, then the rumors about Qingling have opened up a new creative field in the storytelling world. Various versions of the story, the emperor born by this Xuannu said that it is a god, for a while it is a country and a city, and a while it is extraordinary in divine power, and it is said that the emperor was born when the original god has not yet grown up, and it is all thanks to the powerful aura of Chongwu Mountain to save his life, it can be seen that the name of Chongwu Mountain is indeed true, and the Holy Monarch of Moqian is indeed worthy of worship!
