Without the disturbance of Yeluzheng, Mu Yunqi's life was very peaceful, but the palace was not peaceful, which can be described as chickens flying and dogs jumping.

The lord of Ji'an is the youngest daughter of the old prince, spoiled since childhood, just met the young general Yu Bai who came to Shengjing to garrison, the two fell in love at first sight, and promised each other for life in the day and night after that, but they did not expect the old prince to strongly oppose their marriage, the old prince's scruples are not wrong, only blame them for being young and carried away by love, and they are not considerate of the actual situation, and when they understand it, they have to bury this love in their hearts, and solve the pain of lovesickness through occasional private meetings.

Now that the old prince wants to show his loyalty to the imperial court, he actually wants to send such a flower-like little girl into the palace to serve Situ Minying, an old man who is over half a hundred years old, the county lord of Ji'an naturally disobeys, and makes a big fuss in the palace until the old prince is sick, and the whole palace is now gloomy.

The old prince's illness came out of anger, but the imperial doctors were helpless, and more than ten days passed, not only did the old prince not get better, but his condition became more and more intense.

On this day, Mu Yunqi was drying medicinal herbs in the courtyard, and the sound of a carriage stopping came from outside the courtyard, and after a while, he saw the princess walking into the courtyard with some eagerness.

Mu Yunqi stepped forward to greet her, and the princess grabbed her hand and pulled her out, and said as she walked: "Princess, it's rude, the old prince is seriously ill, you go and take a look." ”

When Mu Yunqi heard this, he hurriedly quickened his pace and got into the carriage with her.

Mu Yunqi didn't expect the old prince to be so sick, and he was still alive and well during the Chinese New Year.

Mu Yunqi applied acupuncture for a while, and the old prince woke up for a while, and when he saw that it was Mu Yunqi, he asked, "Why is the princess here?" ”

Mu Yunqi smiled and said, "You are so sick, can I not come?" ”

The old prince sighed and said: "It's all my fault for my incompetence, in order to eliminate Your Majesty's suspicions, I can only send the little girl to the palace as a hostage." ”

"Why is the old prince suspicious of His Majesty, and there is no other way than to send the county lord into the palace?"

The old prince looked at her and stopped, Mu Yunqi understood, sighed and said: "It's because of me, because the assassins he sent couldn't kill me, so he suspected that you were helping me, and it was you who connived at Huarong and Xifan's spies to operate on your territory, I'm sorry, I caused the county lord." ”

The old prince shook his head and said: "The king's heart is unpredictable, you are not wrong, only your majesty is blamed for not being able to tolerate people's heart, you are such a smart woman, even if you can't be a minister, you are also a virtuous helper who assists the emperor, why does Your Majesty have to put you to death." ”

Mu Yunqi looked at the old prince and said, "I don't know why Your Majesty hates me so much, it may be my life experience, or it may be that he has never been able to forgive me for the crime of bullying the king." Lord Wang, I can take care of your body for you, can the county lord's matter be postponed for a few days, and let me think of a way? ”

The old prince shook his head and said, "I can't wait, Your Majesty's welcoming team is already on the way." ”

"Does the prince know who is coming to greet him?" Mu Yunqi thought that King Shengjing's side couldn't delay time, so he started from Yingqin's side, even if it was the stupidest way to poison him and let him stay here for a few days.

"It is said to be His Royal Highness the King of Jin."

"Situ Xuan, I haven't seen you for a long time." Mu Yunqi couldn't help but laugh when he remembered what it would be like for that hot guy to pick up his relatives.

The old prince looked at Mu Yunqi's suddenly bright face, thinking that she had a way, but his eyes lit up and asked, "Does the princess have a way?" ”

Mu Yunqi looked at the light in the eyes of the old prince, instinctively wanted to shake his head but stopped, and said, "Let me think about it, if it is Situ Xuan, there may be a turnaround." ”

The old prince thought that there was hope, and people were in a lot of energy, Mu Yunqi took advantage of his heart to take a fierce medicine, and he should be able to get better in less than three days.

Coming out of the old prince's palace, Mu Yunqi saw several princes waiting anxiously outside the door.

Seeing Mu Yun get up, Yeluzheng was the first to come to her and asked, "How is my father's illness?" ”

Mu Yunqi was worried about the matter of the county lord of Ji'an, and at this time he was full of sorrow, and he was shocked when he saw Ye Luzheng and continued to ask: "Father is ......?"

Mu Yunqi suddenly understood what he wanted to say, sighed and said, "The prince is in good health, but I am worried about another thing." ”

Hearing her say this, the princes took a deep breath and showed a slight smile on their faces, but Ye Luzheng looked at Mu Yunqi's appearance and seemed to guess what was worrying her, so he said, "The carriage of this prince is outside, I'll send you back." ”

Mu Yunqi glanced at him and understood that he had something to ask, so he said, "There is His Royal Highness Lao Shizi." ”

After getting into the carriage, Jeremiah got straight to the point and asked, "Father is really fine." ”

Mu Yunqi sighed and said: "The prince's health is indeed fine, I am worried about the matter of the county lord of Ji'an, you also know that the old prince is also sick because of this, can I see the county lord of Ji'an." It is said that this time it was Situ Xuan, the king of Jin, who came to pick up his relatives, and I still had some friendship with him when I was in Beijing, so I could see if I could find a way to prevent the county lord from entering the palace. ”

Ye Luzheng shook his head and said, "It's impossible not to enter the palace, you can help me persuade Ji'an, you understand what I mean." ”

Mu Yunqi frowned and looked at him without speaking.

In the evening, Mu Yun got up and went to the hot spring, and sure enough, he saw Yu Bai standing alone by the spring and playing the jade flute.

Yu Bai saw that Mu Yunqi was invited, put down the jade flute and saluted: "I have seen the princess." ”

Mu Yunqi didn't speak, but circled around him, looked him up and down with his eyes and asked, "Does the general have a wife?" ”

Yu Bai replied respectfully: "No, in the future, after meeting the county lord, I swore that I would not marry the county lord in this life." ”

"Can your family agree?"

Yu Bai replied: "There are no elders in the family, only the younger sister has married the son as a concubine. ”

"Mrs. Yu, you are very bold and dare to say anything, aren't you afraid of causing trouble to your brother?"

"My sister has been spoiled by me since she was a child, her temperament is indeed easy to cause trouble, the princess taught me that in the future, I will advise my sister to restrain her temperament, and I hope that the princess will not be surprised."

Mu Yunqi didn't want to continue discussing Mrs. Yu, and instead asked, "How does the county lord treat you?" ”

Yu Bai thought for a while and said, "The county lord once said that there is only one general in this life. ”

"If the county lord has to enter the palace, the general has thought about it later."

"If this is the case, he will never marry for the rest of his life."

"General, why are you so persistent?"

"What about you, princess, you and His Royal Highness King Qin are also in deep love, and it is said that King Qin has scattered the harem for you."

"That's just a rumor, now that he has married three more side concubines, all the vows are just empty words."

Yu Bai looked at Mu Yunqi's somewhat declining expression, and actually thought of the melancholy appearance of the county lord of Ji'an towards the moon, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

"The last general is not the King of Qin, I am willing to live for the sake of the county lord."

Mu Yunqi nodded approvingly and said, "So I know in my heart, General, don't pass by, I hope to drink your wedding wine as soon as possible." ”

Yu Bai just hugged his fists and said goodbye, but Mu Yunqi was no longer visible.

A few days later, Mu Yunqi was taken into the palace by Ye Luzheng and showed the old prince his body first. Mu Yunqi just finished his pulse and wanted to get up, but he was pulled by the old prince, and saw the old prince ask with expectation: "Does the princess have a way to save the little girl." ”

Mu Yunqi looked at the expectations of the old prince, and really didn't want to hit him and make him sick again, so he had to coax him and said: "Wait for His Royal Highness the King of Jin to arrive to see the situation, after all, he knows more about the affairs of the capital." ”

Mu Yunqi came out of the Shengjing King's bedroom and followed Yeluzheng to the Ji'an County Lord's bedroom, and the Ji'an County Lord was anxiously waiting for her arrival.

The first time Mu Yunqi saw the county lord of Ji'an, he never thought that he was such a petite person, it stands to reason that the people in the north are tall and big, and even the princesses and concubines are taller than the average women in Guannei, Mu Yunqi couldn't help but ask without thinking: "How old is the county lord?" ”

Seeing the stunned expression of the county lord, Mu Yunqi knew that he had said the wrong thing, and Ye Luzheng next to him covered his mouth and snickered, and the two of them glared at him angrily.

After sitting down, Mu Yunqi said straight to the point: "The county lord wants to marry into the royal family?" ”

"Otherwise, what can I do, my father wants to delay for three years with death, but this palace can't do such unfilial things, I heard that the princess cured her father's illness, and this palace has thanked the princess here."

As he spoke, he bowed to Mu Yunqi, and Mu Yunqi was ashamed, so he said: "I see that the old prince is bent on death, so he lied to him to have a way to save you, and I came to see you today to ask you what kind of feelings you have for General Yu?" ”

The lord of Ji'an seemed to fall into a good memory, and said leisurely: "I grew up in the palace since I was a child, and I have seen a lot of flattering noble children, only he is different, he is the person who guards our Yelu family, and so young, I am inevitably attracted to him, although he was also polite to me at first, but I also have my cuteness, he said that he likes my indisputability, likes my innocence and romance, likes my wanton freedom, and gradually he also fell in love with me, in our eyes there is no court, no secrets, only our love." It wasn't until we made our love affair clear to our father and asked for his permission that my father explained to us that our union would not be allowed by the court, and the reality gave us a head start, and I really didn't know how it came through during that time, until we accepted the reality little by little and gave in to the reality, but we still promised each other that we would never marry each other for life. But, I didn't expect that the reality was far more cruel than we imagined, the emperor actually wanted to accept me as a concubine to make my father surrender, but he was already over half a hundred years old, and he didn't want to marry him even if he didn't have Yu Bai's palace. ”

Saying that, the county lord of Ji'an cried, Mu Yunqi patted her arm and comforted: "Yes, which woman in her prime is willing to marry an old man who is over half a hundred years old, and that person is older than your father. I saw General Yu a few days ago, he said that even if you can't marry him, he will never marry, it is rare to be such an infatuated person, I can only try my best, this time to welcome the seventh emperor brother His Royal Highness King Jin, I have some friendship with him on weekdays, I can only deal with him to see if I can find a breakthrough. ”

When the county lord of Ji'an heard this, he wiped away his tears and asked, "Will the princess really help me?" ”

"I can only try my best, I can't guarantee if I can help you."

The county lord of Ji'an immediately burst into tears and smiled: "Sister princess, as long as you are willing to help me." ”

Coming out of the county lord of Ji'an, Yerezheng asked, "Why are you so active in helping them, just because they have lovers and cannot become dependents?" ”

Mu Yunqi looked at him and said with a smile: "You obviously know that what happened to the county lord of Ji'an was caused by me, if the old prince didn't protect me and let the assassins of the court kill me, he would not be suspicious of His Majesty the emperor, and he would not let the county lord of Ji'an marry into the palace as a hostage." ”

Ye Luzheng looked at her, and felt a thousand kinds of unbearable in his heart, but still asked, "How can you help Ji'an?" ”

Mu Yunqi looked at him and smiled, this smile dissolved Ye Luzheng's heart, and he finally couldn't bear to stretch out his hand to stroke her cheek and said, "Yunqi, please, don't hurt yourself." ”

Mu Yunqi was still smiling, and he didn't avoid his hand, but said: "No, it's too late, even if I have something at this time, I can't get back the emperor's trust." ”

Jereuza still didn't withdraw his hand and said, "It's good that you understand." ”

Seeing Mu Yunqi tilt his head to the side, Ye Luzheng withdrew his hand and sent her all the way back to the small courtyard.
