Two days later, the news that Su Yan and Han Qian successfully subdued the three islands of the Gloomy Continent came back to Dongzhao, although before the battle, Dongzhao was already bound to win the Gloom Continent, but the emperor Donglin Xun was still happy, and bluntly said that Su Yan and Han Qian would be rewarded heavily after returning to the dynasty.

Previously, when Chilidao asked for help from Dongzhao, it was originally said to be ambiguous, and it only meant that after the victory, he paid tribute to Dongzhao, which means a vassal state. After Dongzhao helped Chili capture the remaining two islands, he directly stated that in the future, the Gloomy Continent would be unified and directly included as a vassal state of Dongzhao.

You must know that although there is only one word difference, there is a difference of 108,000 miles in status and sovereignty. Chilidao's original calculation was to be a vassal state, in addition to worshipping and paying tribute, land, internal affairs and military power were still retained in their own hands, and after unifying the three islands, the power of the great leader of Chiridao was even more powerful than before. If it becomes a vassal state, it is tantamount to giving up all power and leaving a false name of "king".

How could Dongzhao not know the wishful thinking of Chili Island? It's just that Dongzhao, who has coveted this sea resource for a long time, will never send troops to be a good man in vain, and he sent heavy troops to the expedition, and now he is stationed in the Misty Continent, and Chili Island has no room to refuse at all, and the stalemate is only half a day, so he obediently bows down and is a minister.

At the same time, there was another news that shocked the world - the death of Emperor Mu Ling of the West Dome Tianying.

Early in the morning of this day, Mu Yunyi was announced into the palace. She deliberately picked a plain skirt, even though the West Dome was mourning, but this was the palace of Dongzhao, she couldn't resist the etiquette and put on the plain clothes directly.

Although she had received the news a few days ago, she still had to pretend in front of Emperor Dongzhao that she had just learned this morning.

"I didn't expect the emperor's uncle to ......" Mu Yunyi's face was shocked, just like the night she first knew, but she didn't show too much sadness, this Tanglin Xun knew the grievances between Mu Yunyi's father Mu Ting and Mu Ling, if Mu Yunyi showed too much grief, it was hypocritical and suspicious.

"The cause of his death is not clear, but I heard that he was found dead in the palace of Concubine Qin." Tanglin Xun observed Mu Yunyi while speaking.

Mu Yunyi listened calmly, without a trace on her face, making it impossible to know her attitude. However, after a while, she knelt down and said: "Xiqiong is in mourning, and Your Majesty is gracious to allow Yunyi to return to the country to mourn for Emperor Daxing." ”

"Xiqiong national funeral, it's normal for you to go back, Xiqiong also sent an envoy to ask, but three days have passed, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to catch up with the funeral when you go back."

"Yes, according to the ancestral system, whenever there is a national mourning, the whole country will mourn for twenty-seven days. Yun Yi is dressed in plain clothes today, and after returning to the West Dome until the twenty-seventh day is full, he has done his best. ”

"It's okay, it's just that the queen fell in love with you, and today I heard that you may have to return to China, and I said that I was very reluctant."

"Yun Yi has been in Dongzhao since he came to Dongzhao, and he has been loved and cared for by His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and he is very reluctant to go, Yun Yi wants to mourn for twenty-seven days, if His Majesty does not dislike Yun Yi's nonsense temperament, Yun Yi will return again."

"It's so good, it's just that Prince Shun's body has not yet healed, and it is not suitable to travel long distances, if you continue to stay in Dongzhao, I will send a doctor to take care of it, and you can return to China with peace of mind."

"Your Majesty is thoughtful, Yun Yi is grateful, with Your Majesty sending someone to take care of it, Yun Yi can rest assured."

The two of them said some high-sounding words back and forth, Dongling Xun took the queen as a disguise, Mu Yunyi followed his words, originally she didn't think about "escaping" from Dongzhao, her younger brother has not woken up, and her father's affairs have not yet been found, although Xiqiong and Dongzhao are both places of right and wrong, but now that the new emperor of Xiqiong has succeeded to the throne, I am afraid that it will not be peaceful, so even if Emperor Dongzhao does not say it, she will take the initiative to return.

After leaving the palace, Mu Yunyi returned to the house to pack her luggage, and told some things in the house, and then set off to return to Dongzhao in the afternoon.

The convoy went out of Shangling City all the way to the west, and Mu Yunyi, who was sitting in the carriage, was already wearing plain clothes.

She rolled up her sleeves and said: "The three-day suspension has passed, and the Emperor Daxing should have been on the temple number and the name, and then he will be buried, and then the new emperor will be enthroned." ”

"In this way, the era name of our West Dome will soon be changed." Bi Ying pursed her lips with disdain: "I didn't expect that Mu Huan's prodigal son to really become the emperor." ”

Mu Yunyi came back to her senses, and her eyes were shining: "Although Mu Huan is absurd and mediocre, his queen mother is not simple. ”

"Master, you said Queen Xi?" Bi Ying was puzzled: "I heard that the queen recites scriptures and worships the Buddha all day long, and she has no intention of going to the court, and she doesn't care about her son, and she is not very close!" ”

"Because of this, I can blindfold the eyes of the world and clean myself up, and you see, in the future, this queen mother, oh no, it should be said that it is the queen mother, will not nest in the Buddha hall all day long."

Regarding the situation of Mu Ling's death, what Donglin Xun said this morning is roughly the same as what Mu Yunyi knows, but Mu Yunyi knows more about it.

After Concubine Qin entered the palace, she was the favorite of the special room, especially since the first month, except for Chinese New Year's Eve and the fifteenth emperor who went to Empress Xi's palace because of the custom, the entire first month stayed in the palace of Concubine Qin almost every day, and had long said that she wanted to make Concubine Qin a noble concubine, and only waited for the first month to perform the canonization ceremony.

Just after the first month, it was the canonization ceremony of Qin Guifei, the emperor naturally went to the palace of Qin Fei that night, and was found dead in the bed of Qin Fei's palace that night. The obscurity of this theory is actually tantamount to saying that the emperor acted excessively with Concubine Qin and died suddenly.

It's just that all of this is probably the queen's arrangement, but it's a pity that Concubine Naqin was still in the limelight half a day ago, but she became a prisoner on the night of canonization.

No matter what the real reason for the emperor's death is, since the emperor died in the palace of Concubine Qin, she will definitely not be able to get out of it, and it is inevitable to punish the nine clans.

At this time, the convoy passed by a post station, and the leading guard asked Mu Yunyi if he wanted to take a break.

"No need, it's important to hurry, while it's not completely dark, let's walk a little longer."

The carriage continued to move forward, but Bi Ying said: "Master, in fact, you don't have to rush like this, anyway, we all know that we are rushing back from Dongzhao, the journey is so far, it is normal to be a few days late." "Bi Ying is a person from Prince Shun's Mansion, so naturally she doesn't really want to mourn for Mu Ling.

"I know what you mean, but I have my point." Mu Yunyi heard Dongling Xun mention in the palace early in the morning that Xiqiong sent an envoy to ask when the princess would return to China for the funeral, and the queen did not forget to send someone to "care" about her return date when the emperor died, and it would not be easy to come back this time.

It's just that Mu Yunyi has no choice for all this, not to mention that he has been away from Xiqiong for so long, and in the name of national mourning, he can go back to visit the emperor's grandmother and aunt, but for the rest, just take one step at a time.
