Three days later, the Royal Palace.

Mu Qianxia returned to the palace again at this time, only to feel that everything had already been a matter of fact.

Mu Qianxia, as always, walked to the study under the leadership of the little eunuch, on the square in front of the study, the ground was paved with white marble, and there were nine large giant pillars of coiling dragons made of pure gold, each of which was inlaid with nine dragons made of precious stones.

The little eunuch led Mu Qianxia to the door of the study, and after a salute, he retreated. The guard at the door pushed the door open for Mu Qianxia, and from beginning to end there was nothing but saluting.

Stepping in, everything around her was so familiar, nothing had changed, but the people waiting in the room were no longer her royal brothers.

Waiting in the study is the fourth prince, although he has not officially ascended the throne, but there is only one ceremony left. Now looking at the person in front of him carefully, Mu Qianxia found that he had underestimated him before. Although she knew that he was not as simple as he seemed, in recent days, he had made a quick attack on the previous *** of the DPRK and China at a lightning speed, and his resolute and resolute methods made the ministers of the DPRK and China panic for a while.

"Auntie." The four princes were originally dealing with government affairs, but at this moment, they sensed Mu Qianxia's arrival, and the four princes immediately got up to greet them.

Xu is now tempered in the court, and the original indisputable temperament of the four princes has gradually disappeared, replaced by a deep and introverted, and a faint imperial atmosphere. I have to say that he is more suitable for this throne than the previous crown prince.

Seeing that Mu Qianxia's eyes were blank and he didn't say a word since he came in, the fourth prince couldn't help but take a few steps forward, grabbed Mu Qianxia's shoulder, and said with concern: "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" But I'm not feeling well, do I need Imperial Doctor Xuan to come in and take a look?"

Mu Qianxia smiled slightly, shook his head, and said softly, "I'm fine." I just feel like you're not the same as before. ”

The fourth prince smiled helplessly: "If I still want to be as indisputable and generous as before, I'm afraid that I will change the dynasty before I can sit in this position." Sometimes people are in different positions and have to use different attitudes. If my methods are not vigorous and resolute, how can I deter the government and the opposition? Originally, most of the people in the court had been encircled by the crown prince before this, and he was fleeing at the moment, and it was inevitable that some people in the court would have two hearts, so I could only use the fastest speed to take them down before I was defenseless, and only in this way could I make others feel awe and suppress all thoughts that should not be there. ”

Indeed, since ancient times, as emperors, there are a few people who are not ruthless. Isn't the most ruthless imperial family also the best summary of this?

"Listening to Gu Li, you didn't hesitate to expose the forces you secretly cultivated in order to save me, thank you for everything you did for me."

"Auntie, if it weren't for your blessing when I was a child, how could I grow up safely, and how could I have everything I have now, without you, I wouldn't be where I am now. For me, you are the most important person in my life, the person I will do my best to protect. Only this time, I'm afraid I'm going to break my promise. I'm sorry, auntie. ”

Mu Qianxia chuckled and shook her head: "It's okay, I understand you." If it were me, I would make the same choice as you. Sacrificing one person to save thousands of people, everyone will surely make the same choice as you in the face of such a thing. You are gentle and kind, and you have traveled the rivers and lakes, and you know the sufferings of the people, and you are most unwilling to let the people suffer, and it is precisely because of this that you will be coerced by others. It's just that when you ascend to the throne of God in the future, you have to learn to hide your weaknesses and use a hard shell to disguise yourself, maybe that is not the real you, but only in this way can you have no weakness in the eyes of others, you can be invincible, and no one or thing threatens you. ”

"Auntie, if the three princes of Eastern Qin treat you badly or you are wronged there, you must remember to tell me, don't wronged yourself, when the time comes, even if the two countries will go to war because of this, I will not be afraid." The Four Princes are colorful.

"Okay." Looking at the firm eyes of the four princes, no matter what will happen in the future, no matter whether he will be wronged in the future, no matter whether he will be as he says now, but it is undeniable that Mu Qianxia's heart is warm at this moment.

Suddenly, one of the guards barged in.

The fourth prince frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "Didn't this king say that without the king's orders, no one is allowed to come in and disturb the conversation between this king and the eldest princess." Why, now you don't listen to the words of this king? ”

Mu Qianxia saw that the guard's body trembled slightly because of the words of the fourth prince, and couldn't help frowning slightly, she could see that the guard was afraid of the fourth prince from the bottom of her heart, it seemed that what happened in this palace was something she didn't know, but she didn't plan to ask, sometimes the less things she knew, the better.

"Subordinate, subordinate don't dare. It's just that the news just came that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was arrested and is now waiting outside. The guard said in a trembling voice.

"Announce them in."

"Yes." With that, the guard left without looking back, as if there were wicked people chasing and killing behind him.

"Auntie, do you want to stay and see?"

Mu Qianxia nodded.

Soon, the prince was escorted in, and after many days of not seeing him, the prince lost a lot of weight and became much haggard, and it must have been extremely difficult to escape these days.

"Brother Wang, are you guilty?"

"Guilty? What is the sin of this palace? Since ancient times, you have been the winner now, and you are naturally justified in what you say. However, do you know what Hongu regrets the most now? The thing that Hongu regrets most now is that he didn't kill you at that time. If it weren't for you, it would be Hongu who is standing here now, how could it be you? If it weren't for you, the great plan of this palace would have been achieved long ago, how could it have ended up like this?" The prince said resentfully.

"If you hadn't poisoned your father and used this to frame the eldest princess, how could I have attacked you? If you have lost your conscience so much and become the son of man, you will be punished by God, and this is God's punishment for you! Seeing the prince's unrepentant look, the fourth prince felt even more angry.

The prince hooked his lips and sneered, turned his head to look at Mu Qianxia on the side, and said: "Eldest princess, you must have been particularly deep in Mu Qianxue's incident at the beginning, but you probably don't know it yet, all the plans in this matter are Gu Li's doing, he knows that I have always wanted you to die, so he teamed up with me to do this game on the grounds of one time, but the fake death medicine he gave to Qianxue was fake, and Qianxue really died, I still believed it at the time, but my father didn't punish you severely like that." After that, the queen mother was resentful and buried ** under the stage on Chinese New Year's Eve, but I don't know how the father and emperor knew about this matter, so they summoned six departments to plan to abolish the palace, and it was Gu Li who sent the news to the palace, so the palace and the queen mother will attack the father and emperor. In the final analysis, all of this is Gu Li's behind the scenes. Eldest princess, how do you feel after knowing the truth?"

Even if she knew the truth long before this, she thought that her heart would be calm and indifferent, but at this time, when she heard others say it again, she found that her heart would still hurt. She knew that Gu Li had used her, but she didn't think that he would be so framed at that time, and he even wanted her to die! She was still moved by Gu Li's maintenance at that time, but she didn't know that everything was carefully designed by him, and it was all his cozy attitude.

Mu Qianxia smiled bitterly, her hand involuntarily covered her chest, she thought that there would be no pain there, but she didn't expect it to be painful and wanted to suffocate.

What she thought was deep was nothing more than her own wishful thinking. What she wants, in the end, is like a flashy dream, a flower in the mirror, and a moon in the water.

When the four princes heard this, their faces changed, and their fear of this man suddenly spread out inch by inch from the bottom of their hearts!

From beginning to end, such a big game of chess was played and so many people were calculated, and the depth of the city was terrifying!

But even so, the prince still didn't intend to let her go.

"Mu Qianxia, if it weren't for you luring the wolf into the house, my father would not have been poisoned at all, let alone disappeared, and his whereabouts are unknown......"

"Mu Qianxia, you think you have found some so-called true love, but in fact, all this is just your own wishful thinking......"

"He is a wolf and ambitious, and what he wants is only the life of his father from beginning to end! And you're just a pawn, a stepping stone for him to get it done......"

"Mu Qianxia, you can't complain about others, if you want to complain, you can blame yourself for being stupid......"

The prince's undisguised taunting voice pierced Mu Qianxia's eardrums one after another, slapping her in the face fiercely.

During this time, it seems that it is really as they say, it is all a well-planned scam, and she is the only one who enjoys it.

All kinds of emotions came to her heart, I don't know which emotions are more, but they are all mixed together and violently tearing her internal organs, Mu Qianxia's face is getting paler and paler.

"Auntie, are you alright?" Seeing that Mu Qianxia's face was becoming more and more ugly, the fourth prince couldn't help but ask with concern.

Mu Qianxia shook her head and smiled weakly: "I'm fine." I just feel a little tired and want to go back. You have to take good care of yourself and remember that no matter what the future holds, you must not lose your heart. ”

"Good. You must be careful in everything in Dongqin in the future, and you must remember to tell me if you are wronged. ”

"Hmm."

…………

Princess's House.

When Mu Qianxia went back, the carriage at the door was already full of packed salutes, and it seemed that she was going to leave when she came back. She didn't know why Gu Li was in such a hurry, but she didn't want to ask, she didn't want to know.

Stepping into the carriage, Gu Li was already waiting inside. The carriage was large and exquisite, and although the things inside looked ordinary, each of them was very valuable, which was very much in line with Gu Li's usual style.

"Princess, what's wrong with you, is there something wrong with you? Why is your face so ugly?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to catch Mu Qianxia's pulse.

Mu Qianxia dodged without a trace, and said lightly: "I just met the prince, he was caught, and I learned the truth of the matter from him."

Gu Li's hand froze there, but he quickly withdrew it without a trace, narrowed his eyes, and smiled slightly: "I wonder what the princess learned from him?"

"For example, Mu Qianxue's matter at the beginning, you must have been clear without me saying it clearly, right? Do you have anything to explain about that?"

Gu Li opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything.

Mu Qianxia laughed at herself, she had long known that this would be the result, but she still had fantasies and expectations for him that she shouldn't have. Even if he lied to her, as long as he explained, she would believe it. But no, not a word.

Mu Qianxia closed her eyes and leaned on the carriage to avoid it, unwilling to say another word.

Gu Li looked at her for a long time, but finally didn't speak.

The carriage started slowly, carrying Mu Qianxia forward, Xi Chu can already come to an end, in the future, what will be waiting for her?
