However, at that time, Mu Ling had ascended the throne as the emperor, but when they learned that Mu Ting was still alive, the princelings were naturally unwilling to bow down to Mu Ling, and they were ready to quit the court and wait for Mu Ting's return.

When Mu Ting's army was about to arrive at the city of Hyunyin, the city was on guard, and at this time he also got the news that Empress Xi invited the wives and daughters of the officials of the court and the central government to the queen mother's palace to enjoy the flowers.

And the ladies invited to the palace are all the wives and daughters of the princelings, and they deliberately went to the palace of the queen mother, which is tantamount to making it clear that the queen mother and the wives and daughters of those eunuchs are in the hands of Emperor Mu Ling.

For a time, the city defense army and Mu Ting's army were deadlocked outside the city gate. Until the end, Mu Ting dismounted and knelt on the ground, and said in person: "Brother Huang, brother does not live up to the emperor's order and returns victorious." ”

So admit it to the world personally, and he Mu Ting also recognizes Mu Ling's throne.

On the second day, Mu Ling announced that Mu Ting entered the palace to "listen to the reward", on the main hall, Mu Ling commended Mu Ting, canonized him as the prince, and the title was "Shun", a "Shun" word is intriguing, respectful and obedient, the prince Mu Ting, who was powerful and loved by all the people, has now become the Prince of Shun, which is really extremely ironic.

Mu Ling's means of ascending to the throne have always been a scruple in his heart, so at the same time, the country is called Tianying, which means "conforming to the will of heaven".

Although Mu Ling succeeded to the throne, he was still afraid of Mu Ting, he knew that the former princelings in the court still did not recognize his throne, so he waited for an opportunity to get rid of Mu Ting and his subordinates.

Until the battle with Dongzhao, Mu Ling sent Mu Ting to fight, after Mu Ting disappeared mysteriously in the war, Xiqiong was defeated and retreated, Mu Yunyi led troops to rescue, and Mu Ling took advantage of the situation to seal Mu Yunyi as Princess Anhe, and went to Dongzhao in person with the book of discussion, this time it was completely uprooted Mu Ting's power in the court.

The night before Mu Ting's expedition to Dongzhao, Mu Yunyi asked his father if he was still unwilling when he was taken away from the position of prince.

Mu Ting said, "I am unwilling, but the Mu family's country is still in the hands of the Mu family, not that I am unable to fight, but if it is hard at that time, one queen mother will have to worry about her life, and the other is already injured after the war with the border, if there is a civil war, the tiger-eyed Dongzhao will definitely take advantage of the weakness, I just hope that the imperial brother can uphold the will of his father, work hard, and prosper the western firmament, then this throne ...... I don't want it. ”

Mu Yunyi understood, but couldn't help but be a little disappointed, in her heart, her father should always be unyielding, high-spirited, and invincible, and now, her father seems to accept it so calmly.

However, Mu Ting then opened his mouth again: "But now it seems that my brother is not worthy of the position at all, so I don't have to worry about any brotherhood." ”

"Father......" Mu Yunyi's eyes lit up again, her father has never changed.

"This throne has been lent to him for a while, this time Dongzhao returned from the First World War, he owed me at the beginning, I will take it back!" Mu Ting patted Mu Yunyi on the shoulder: "Good boy, are you willing to stand on the top of power with your father when the time comes?" ”

For many years, Mu Ting has always avoided Mu Yunyi, and the two rarely talk as father and daughter at all, and Mu Yunyi is almost flattered.

"Father, my daughter is waiting for your return!"

However, what she didn't expect was that this was the first time she had a heart-to-heart conversation with her father, and it was probably the last.

……

Su Yan did not propose to the emperor to divorce Chu that day, and returned to Tingzhuxuan after returning to the house in the evening, Jiang saw him like this, and knew that although he obeyed his will, it was normal for him to be unwilling, so he let him go, and he could let go after a while.

However, Su Yan's face was always gloomy for the past few days, and he turned a blind eye to the encounters between his colleagues in the DPRK and China, and the soldiers in his army were even more miserable, and he was punished by him for the slightest carelessness to the point that he couldn't stand up.

On this day, Su Yan returned from the palace, and saw several carriages leaving in front of the Zhenguo Mansion, and approached and asked the doorman to find out that it was Huashang Pavilion who had rushed to work for several days to make Su Yan's wedding dress and sent it.

My sister is about to get married, which is also one of the reasons for Su Yan's upset, in her eyes, she is clearly the little girl who always likes to ride on her neck and pick flowers, now that she counts the days, there are still a few days left, she is going to get married, he recalled in his mind the scene when he and Su Wu played together in their childhood, and when he came back to his senses, he had already walked outside Su Yan's courtyard.

Before he entered, he saw the female envoys and maidservants in Su Wan's courtyard busy.

Seeing Su Yan come in, everyone stopped what they were doing and saluted him, he waved his hand through the small courtyard, and knocked on the door. ”

"Come in." Su Wu, who was originally sitting in front of the dresser in a trance, came back to her senses when she heard a knock on the door.

Su Yan pushed the door and walked into the room, and saw a set of large wedding dresses hanging on the mahogany shelf: colorful embroidered and tillian placket, red embroidered auspicious cloud pattern Luo skirt with gold piping, gold embroidered cloud xia pattern Xia curtain with pearls, and gold silk embroidered mandarin duck double happiness soft satin shoes. This layer of each piece reveals luxury and grandeur.

"It's done so quickly." He lifted the curtain and said to Su Wu on the side.

"Well, someone from the Huashang Pavilion just sent it." Su Wan tried to squeeze out a smile, "Brother, is it good-looking?" ”

"It looks good, you must look better in it." It is said that the wedding dress is a holy thing that can bring a woman happiness for a lifetime, but Su Yan did not see any joy and desire in Su Yan's eyes, even the smile just now was reluctant, how could Su Yan, who grew up spoiling Su Yan, not notice it?

"Sister, if you don't want to marry the Tao family, it's still too late, even if your marriage date has been set, even if your mother is against it, if you have the slightest reluctance, my brother will help you end this marriage." Su Yan couldn't see his sister, who he regarded as a treasure, being wronged at all.

"Brother, what are you talking nonsense?" Looking at the firmness in Su Yan's eyes, Su Yan's heart almost loosened, but it was only for a moment, and then reason drove her to interrupt Su Yan, "If I don't want to marry him, how can I agree, it's you thinking too much." ”

"But you know ......" Su Yan knew that her sister had compromised for the sake of the Su family, and she knew better who she was worried about.

"I'm going to try on this wedding dress, can you help me see if there is anything that doesn't fit?" Su Wan escaped Su Yan's gaze, picked up the somewhat heavy wedding dress and walked behind the screen, she no longer had the courage to hear that person's name again.

"Brother......" Su Wu opened her mouth again behind the screen.

"Huh?"

"As you told me that day, I and that person are in the past." Su Wan clutched her wedding dress tightly, leaning weakly on the screen, and a tear rolled down on the curtain, dyed a red flower.

"Brother, please bless me."
