Empress Dowager Xi snorted coldly: "Heh, your cousin has a lot of skills, although the mourning family doesn't know what she did to make Dongzhao take a look, but all of this has nothing to do with her." After all, she took it lightly, thinking that if she tried to recall Mu Yunyi back to Xiqiong, she would be able to take care of herself, but she didn't expect that she would now directly ask Emperor Dongzhao as a backer.

"But what good is Dongzhao's request to marry Mu Yunyi as the crown prince and concubine? Not to mention the century-old grievances between my Xiqiong and Dongzhao, I said that the emperor's uncle was missing, and the Prince Shun's mansion had long since ceased to be at its peak, why did Emperor Dongzhao ask his son to marry a daughter of a fallen palace who couldn't become a climate? ”

"Isn't it weather?" Empress Dowager Xi glanced at her son, sighed and shook her head: "Ying'er, you are confused!" ”

Seeing the queen mother like this, the emperor was puzzled: "Why did the queen mother say this?" ”

"Do you think Mu Ting was enjoying glory in vain when he was the crown prince all those years? He had great military achievements and fame, and was deeply supported and admired by the people...... Later, he became Prince Shun, and his power in the court is still comparable to that of your father. After Mu Ting's disappearance, although the military power of Prince Shun's Mansion was taken back by your father step by step, do you know how many forces and old troops Mu Ting has secretly cultivated over the years, and now they are acting in a low-key manner and seeking perfection is just Taoguang and obscure. ”

Mu Huan suddenly realized that the first emperor died, and there was no other candidate in the clan who could succeed him, and he was a justifiable and stress-free emperor, he always thought that the emperor was stable and sat on this dragon chair to continue to be greedy for pleasure.

"Queen Mother, it's the sons who are shallow."

"If you don't uproot Prince Shun's mansion, it will be an eternal hidden danger." Empress Dowager Xi's eyes showed a hint of cruelty.

Mu Huan finally understood at this moment why the queen mother always wanted to deal with Mu Yunyi and Prince Shun openly and secretly, it turned out that the seemingly declining palace was a force that posed the greatest threat to herself.

"Mother, what should we do now? The marriage will be the marriage, but the Dongzhao Emperor wants Mu Yunyi by name, and look at the meaning of the national letter, they are bound to get this marriage, if we don't agree, I'm afraid that the envoy will be consumed here and not leave. ”

"Let's delay it for a few days, the marriage between the two countries is not so easy, not to mention that Mu Yunyi is not a princess, and then find a reason, there is always a rhetoric, and then let the ministers make peace with the court, even if Dongzhao still insists, it will take a month to come and go."

"Yes, the queen mother is thoughtful in everything, the layout is exquisite, and the son is obedient." Mu Huan always felt that her mother was very alienated from her since she was a child, she recited scriptures and worshiped Buddha in the Buddhist hall all day long, and even didn't care much about her father.

Now that he has inherited the unification, he feels that he is closer to his mother, so whenever there is trouble in the court, he is always willing to seek a solution from his mother. Especially in today's conversation, he found that the queen mother's insight into the situation in the court was not inferior to that of the courtiers.

"Yi'er, Yi'er!" In the afternoon of this day, Prince Shun walked into the palace from outside in a hurry and asked, "Where is the princess?" Can you be in the house? ”

"Back to the princess, the princess is in her scarlet pavilion."

Hearing this, the princess hurriedly walked towards the Scarlet Kite Pavilion again.

When she came to Mu Yunyi's yard, she pushed the door open, but saw Mu Yunyi eating food on the small table.

"Auntie?" Seeing the princess coming, Mu Yunyi put down the silver chopsticks and wiped the corners of her mouth, "Didn't you go out for a banquet, why did you come back so soon?" ”

"There is a big thing in the court today, I heard in the Yongyi Marquis's mansion, where can I still take care of the meal, so I will come back quickly."

"Since I haven't eaten it yet, my aunt will sit down and eat some together." Mu Yunyi got up and helped the princess sit down.

The princess was so anxious that she grabbed Mu Yunyi's sleeve and said, "That's it, how can I still be in the mood to eat, why don't you ask me what happened in the court?" ”

"Could it be the marriage of Dongzhao's national letter?" Mu Yunyi looked at the princess for a long time.

The princess was dumbfounded: "You, how do you know?" Do you know who Dong Zhao is asking for their prince's marriage? ”

"Far away, close at hand." Mu Yunyi pointed at herself.

"You know everything? My Yi'er, why do you still have the heart to eat here? Seeing that Mu Yunyi was so calm and relaxed, the princess didn't seem to know about it suddenly, and she had a plan in her heart.

The princess sent a group of maidservants, and only she and Mu Yunyi were left in the house, so she pulled Mu Yunyi to sit down on the case kang on the side, and asked in a low voice: "Yi'er, you tell your aunt, what is going on, you already know about this matter, don't you?" ”

"Yes, aunt, not only did I know about it for a long time, but I planned it from the beginning."

"What? Are you going to marry Dongzhao yourself? The princess was shocked: "Why is this? Although the West Dome is in crisis now, Dongzhao is not a peaceful place, why do you suddenly want to marry far away? ”

"Auntie, listen to me, it's really helpless for me to choose this path." Mu Yunyi took out one of the letters left by Mu Ting from his sleeve and handed it to the princess.

"This is ......," the princess took the letter, but was puzzled.

"Before my father disappeared, he left two letters, and this is one of them."

Hearing this, the princess quickly unfolded the letterhead, and every word in it appeared in front of her, and this handwriting was indeed that of her husband Mu Ting, and there would be no mistake......

Wu'er Yunyi:

If you read this letter, you are already a good father, calm down and do what your father says.

The father inadvertently touched a shocking conspiracy, which involved a wide range of things, involved deeply, and was very imaginable, but for the sake of the family and the western firmament, there was no way back for the father to set foot in.

The fact that your father has left a letter to you now does not mean that you will continue to investigate for your father, so your father will not reveal any information to you.

Now that your father wants you to marry Dongzhao as the crown princess, after becoming the princess of Dongzhao, remember not to rush to investigate this matter, because my father knows that with your heart, it is really difficult to protect your body, but you have to protect the palace, protect the imperial grandmother, protect your aunt, younger brother and your foreign family, as well as your father's old subordinates.

Dongzhao Emperor Dongling Xun, when he was still the crown prince, his father had the grace to save his wife and children, you give him the second letter, and he will try to hire you to the West Dome and ask you to marry you as the concubine of Dongzhao.

With your intelligence, it is not difficult to settle down in the harem, but my father knows that you have never liked intrigue, but now you want you to be false and wronged in the harem, which is really wronged you, but the father can only wronged you.

Over the years, my father's care and love for you has been really little, and it is too late to regret it. I don't want to restore the former glory of the palace, but I hope that my son and my wife will spend the rest of their lives in peace.

Father Muting
