The official family has recently contracted a cough disease, and he has been treated for more than a month, but there is no improvement.

The position of the crown prince has been vacant for a long time, and the ministers have raised the matter of establishing the prince in front of the official family, and implore the official family to establish the prince as soon as possible to consolidate the country.

Now the court is divided into three major factions, one is led by Zhou Xiang to support the three princes of King Jin; One faction is led by the empress's elder brother Li Guo's uncle to support the fifth prince King Shu; There is also a faction such as Ning Ge Lao and Mu Houye, who neither support nor oppose anyone in the matter of establishing the crown prince, and are neutral.

Originally, the official family intended to make the three princes the king, but during this time, the three princes and the king of Jin frequently contacted the ministers for the position of the crown prince, and they were banquets and concubines, plus the queen blew a lot of pillow wind, and now the official family is a little hesitant.

But the fifth prince, King Shu, looked very timid and cowardly, and the officials really didn't look down on him.

No one mentioned the six princes, and the official family itself did not include the six princes in the scope of the crown prince's candidates, even if there was that secret letter, it was the last choice in desperation.

The matter of establishing a prince dragged on like this.

Recently, there has been a bandit rebellion in Zizhou, and the two princes are concerned about the position of the crown prince, and they have no intention of leading troops to quell the bandits.

Pyeongchang Marquis Mansion.

Mu Ningxuan couldn't eat lunch angrily, she really couldn't figure it out, she obviously said that she didn't want a dowry in the house when she got married in the future, why did her father not agree with her mother's dowry, and gave it all to her third sister Mu Ningjia as a dowry.

For the sake of the third sister's ten-mile red makeup, Mu Ningxuan was going to go to the study again to find her father to theorize. If her father still didn't agree, she would give her own money, but she couldn't explain the origin of the money to her father.

As soon as I entered the study, I saw that the six princes were also there.

Mu Ningxuan made a blessing salute to the six princes and asked, "Sixth brother, why are you here?" ”

"Your eldest brother and I are going to Zizhou to quell the bandits, and today I came here to find Muhou Ye." The sixth prince looked at Mu Ningxuan and said with a smile.

"My eldest brother is also going to Zizhou to quell the bandits?" Mu Ningxuan asked.

The Sixth Prince nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Big brother's marriage is approaching, why do you still want to go?" Mu Ningxuan looked at Mu Houye.

The sixth prince patiently explained: "Brother Yuchen doesn't have to go to the border this year, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Zizhou with me to quell the bandits. ”

"The eldest brother is really loyal to the country, since the sixth brother and his father have important matters to discuss, I will come back later." Mu Ningxuan turned around to leave.

"Xuan'er, wait a minute." Mu Hou Ye stopped Mu Ningxuan and handed over the box in his hand, "Since you are here, this is what the Sixth Prince originally planned to transfer to your father, since you are here, bring it back directly." ”

Mu Ningxuan looked at the six princes and wondered, "What's in the box?" ”

The sixth prince replied: "It's a jade pendant, please ask Sister Xuan to help keep it, if I can come back safely, I will come to Sister Xuan to ask for it." ”

"Is it dangerous to quell the bandits this time?" Mu Ningxuan was worried about the safety of her eldest brother Mu Yuchen.

The sixth prince shook his head: "No, it's just that with sustenance, I will be more homesick and timid." ”

Mu Ningxuan smiled faintly and withdrew.

Her father seems to have decided about her and the Six Princes.

But in today's court, the six princes are the least favored one, what is the father planning?

Could it be that this time the Six Princes Ping Bandit Rebellion is just an excuse to stay away from the court disputes, the snipe and the clam are fighting, and the fishermen are profiting, so the six princes want to be the fisherman hiding behind?

Mu Ningxuan was suddenly a little curious, what was written in the secret book that the Queen Mother handed over to her for safekeeping, and whether the content in it was to pass the throne to the six princes.

If the content of this secret letter is to pass on the throne to the six princes, why doesn't the official family let the six princes directly become the crown prince now?

Mu Ningxuan shook her head, no longer thinking about these things that had nothing to do with her, the most important thing now was to find out how her mother didn't get it back then.

Although my father has married a princess and has a lovely concubine by my side, in my father's heart, Guo Xiaoniang is still the first, after all, I have been in love for so many years.

As long as she can have evidence to prove that her mother was killed by Guo Xiaoniang, then her father is reluctant to deal with Guo Xiaoniang!
