Mu Xiuqi woke up from a sleep, the sky outside was completely dark, and the quiet needle drop in the room could be heard.

The boy lifted the thin quilt from his body and got up and got out of bed.

He stood in the room and said tentatively: "Song Yu? ”

The black shadow flashed in front of him, and a young man in a black suit stood silently in front of him, and when he looked at it, he suddenly took a step back and knelt on one knee: "Leader." ”

Mu Xiuqi was a little unaccustomed to such a title, but he didn't say anything, just pursed his lips and asked in a low voice, "How is the situation in the palace now?" ”

Song Yu spoke in a steady tone: "This morning, the emperor gave marriage to His Royal Highness and General Mo, and His Royal Highness is now ...... It should be with General Mo. ”

The young man frowned: "Why did you suddenly give marriage?" ”

"It's not sudden."

Song Yu said: "After leaving Changle Palace last night, the emperor sent someone to investigate the assassination of His Royal Highness, and issued an order to reprimand Concubine Rong early this morning, accusing her of teaching Wufang to let the Seventh Prince do such a foolish thing, as for the marriage, it was because of Concubine Shu's proposal. ”

"Last night, after the emperor left Changle Palace, he rested in Concubine Shu's palace, and Concubine Shu mentioned His Royal Highness's family affairs in passing, saying that the two princesses had reached the age of marriage, which made the emperor think."

"The candidate for marriage is determined by the emperor, and the future concubine of Princess Qingyang is Han Shaochuan, the servant of the palace, the son of Zhongshu Ling."

Mu Xiuqi's brows furrowed even tighter.

There are six people in the palace to serve the imperial history, mainly responsible for supervising the court, the court, the suburbs and inspecting Kyoto, is the official of the imperial history platform, although this official position is only from the seventh grade, but it is very rigid, and it is also real power.

The officials of the Yushitai are very strong, and the popular point is that the head is iron, and it is good that there is no handle in the hands of others, if there is, but unfortunately they have a feud with others, then they must be prepared to be killed by others.

Not to mention that someone's father is still a Zhongshu Ling, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a very popular minister, the emperor would actually give Princess Qingyang to marry such a person?

Mu Xiuqi was a little worried, but he didn't express his worries, but just asked him: "What is Sister Huan's attitude towards General Mo?" ”

Song Yu said: "When His Royal Highness was in the border city, he sent someone to investigate the details of General Mo, and the results of the preliminary investigation were in the hands of His Highness, and his subordinates did not know about it, but His Highness ordered that the existence of the dark department could not be discovered by him." ”

Mu Xiuqi nodded thoughtfully.

That is, the general is not very credible.

After thinking about it, he decided not to worry about these things for now, taking advantage of the fact that he couldn't go out during this time, and planned to finish the schoolwork that Changshu had given him first.

No matter what he wants to do, he has to have someone he can rely on.

It's better to subdue these people first.

……

Princess Qingyang was deflated by Emperor Xuan, neither dispelling Emperor Xuan's dissatisfaction with her mother and concubine, asking him to withdraw his will to give marriage, nor letting Changshu damage any interests, and she didn't dare to express her dissatisfaction as directly as Changshu, so she could only admit this matter aggrievedly.

This kind of thing, once you choose it, you can't break it easily. She has always shown herself as a weak and humble person, and she can't do whatever she wants like Changshu, even if she is dissatisfied, she can't vent it at will.

My brother's mother had accidents one after another, and she herself was given a marriage to a person she didn't want to marry, and under the heavy blow, Princess Qingyang fell ill unexpectedly.

When Changshu knew the news, she decisively sent someone to hint that Concubine Rong could take advantage of Concubine Rong's current anxiety to obtain the right to associate the sixth palace, and hinted that she would help from it, and did not hesitate to add another fire to Concubine Rong.

She herself goes out of the palace every day, eating, drinking, and having fun with Xuanmo.

Such days lasted until the time when the three princes were released.

No matter how much it is delayed, there will always be a time when the case will be closed, and with the efforts of many parties, the three princes have been conclusively accused of forming a party in the court and running a private business to eradicate dissidents, and they have been ordered by Emperor Xuan to seize the power in their hands and be idle at home, and they are no longer allowed to meddle in the political affairs of the court.

This punishment is naturally painless for a prince who has no ambitions, but for the third prince who is bent on winning the heir, it is tantamount to completely cutting off his path to climb up openly.

Occasionally, he looked at Changshu's gaze and wanted to strangle her.

But he didn't dare to move Changshu, the cost of moving Changshu was too great, and he couldn't bear that price.

At this time, the maple leaves of Huguo Temple outside the city were red, and Changshu asked her future colt to go out of the city to enjoy the scenery.

Xuan Mo naturally wouldn't disagree.

The range of Huguo Temple occupies a large part of the mountain, from the bottom of the mountain to look up, only to see the towering ancient wood sandwich the bank of the cliff, the top of the mountain seems to have a hazy smoke, the scenery is very good.

Huguo Temple is not built on the top of the mountain, but in the middle of the mountain, there is a large area of lush maple forest in the back mountain, there is no trace of man-made carving, in addition, along the stone steps all the way up, many forks lead straight into the dense forest, along the way there are many pilgrims to rest in the pavilion, the dense branches of the ancient trees cover the sun, it seems to be quite long and quiet.

Changshu and Xuanmo climbed up slowly, leaving behind many noble ladies of the family who came to incense, but the two of them were still blushing and panting, and they didn't even sweat.

Both know that the other party practices martial arts, but neither of them has better martial arts than anyone, Xuan Mo knows that Changshu's martial arts are good, and he climbed half up and looked up at the Huguo Temple, which was still not a short distance, and simply turned his head and said: "Changshu, do you want to compare to see who gets to the top of the mountain first?" ”

Changshu glanced at him, and the word childish was written brightly in her eyes.

Xuan Mo didn't mind: "I just want to see which of us has higher martial arts." ”

Changshu said lightly: "My martial arts are average, and my light skills are just ordinary, not comparable." ”

Although he has not done much with others, Changshu really feels that his martial arts are average.

She had never won in front of her royal brother, and it was not the kind of defeat that was close to chess, but the kind that had no power to fight back, which made her feel that she was like a child without the slightest resistance in front of her imperial brother.

What master would lose so without self-esteem?

Even if her royal brother always said that her martial arts were very high, and persuaded her not to practice martial arts so hard every day, as long as she could protect herself, this still greatly hit her self-confidence, so that she didn't want to compete with others at all.

In the face of her firm attitude, Xuan Mo was not discouraged at all, and was about to open his mouth to persuade a few more words, when he saw Changshu turn in the direction and walk towards a small road.

Xuan Mo was stunned, "What are you going to do?" ”

Changshu said: "Take a walk and relax." ”

The path is not a stone step, it is clean, wide and wide, and the branches and leaves on the side of the road, and the wild grass and vines on the ground grow together densely, which will cause great obstacles to pedestrians.

But perhaps because the road is often walked, there are not so many obstacles on the road, and it doesn't even make much noise when stepping on the compacted dirt road.

Changshu walked forward for a while, and unexpectedly found that there seemed to be someone in front of him.

The faint voice of speech blew along the breeze and fell on Changshu's ears, making her subconsciously stop.

She didn't have the habit of peeping into other people's privacy, and was about to leave here, and then she noticed the content of what was said: "Qing, I want to let the imperial brother ascend the throne, do you have any way?" ”
