Night

"Madame, what do you want?" Mu Wu was about to rest, but saw Mrs. Mu sitting at the head of the bed silently.

Mu Wu took a closer look, but found that she was crying in a low voice.

Mu Wu couldn't see a woman crying the most, especially since this woman was still his wife. may have wronged his wife, but there is still none.

What's wrong with this now, why are you still crying?

Mu Wu was a little at a loss, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

I got up and searched around the house, and finally found a handkerchief embroidered with a mandarin duck playing in the water in the corner and approached my wife.

"Ah Lang, why did you say that our moon was so miserable. If she becomes the crown princess, she is afraid that she will be widowed in a few years. ”

The more Mrs. Mu spoke, the more uncomfortable it became, and after a while, the handkerchief was already more than half wet.

Mrs. Mu rarely walks around with the ladies in Beijing on weekdays, but she is also open for her daughter.

I want to ask more about the situation of the prince in the palace from a few ladies.

And today I happened to meet an insider of the imperial doctor, so I inquired about it by the way.

But this inquiry, something big happened. It turned out that the prince's situation was much more serious than expected, and it was rumored that he would not survive the crown ceremony.

Even if he looks like he is recovering from a serious illness, he is still not well inside. It is said that the disease has penetrated deep into the internal organs, and the medicine stone is just hanging this life.

I don't know how long I can live, and I don't know if the medicine stone will be useful after that. Thinking of the contrast between the fifth son of the emperor, Prince Gong, Shangguan Xi and the crown prince, I saw today.

Mrs. Mu felt even more uncomfortable in her heart, so she cried in the middle of the night when Mu Wu was asleep.

But because he cried too loudly, he was still discovered. Thinking like this, Mrs. Mu was even more aggrieved.

Because of this, I cried louder and more emotionally for no reason.

Mu Wu was very dazed when he heard this. He also inquired with several imperial doctors about the prince's physical condition, although it was not so serious.

But at the moment, Mrs. Mu's words didn't look like a lie, so she shook her head silently and chose to be silent.

For a long time, Mrs. Mu looked at Mu Wu. His eyes looked at him inquiringly, thinking about another possibility.

This is okay, but in the end, the major events of life should also be known to Mu Tianyue.

After all, as a person who will accompany her for the rest of her life in the future, all the Mu family can do is to stand behind her unswervingly.

No, you can't, you can make a decision directly.

"Ah Lang, if Yue'er doesn't want to marry the prince, and the holy will can't be violated, let's try our best to find a way to help Yue'er escape."

Mrs. Mu said, as if she had a great deal of determination.

"Okay, if the holy decree asks Yue'er to marry someone you don't like, even if you don't say it, I will disobey the holy decree. Our moon deserves the best. ”

It's a big deal, give up this life. Mu Wu said this in his heart, and his face still slapped and comforted his wife with gentle movements.

It wasn't until the sound of faint breathing sounded that Mu Wu carefully put her head on the pillow.

After watching the person next to him fall asleep, he relaxed.

Qin Tianjian

"I don't know that Prince Gong came here late at night, and he missed the welcome." As he spoke, a white-robed Taoist had flashed to Shangguan Xi's side.

"The Taoist chief is polite, this king just can't sleep and comes out for a walk. But I don't want to disturb Dao Chang Qingxiu, but it's not mine. ”

Shangguan Xi quietly looked around as he spoke, but found that there was no one else except for the white-robed Taoist.

I breathed a sigh of relief, but I was very uneasy. Could it be that he calculated a hexagram?

"Poor Dao did calculate a hexagram before Prince Gong came, so he dismissed the child." seemed to feel that Shangguan Xi was a little confused, so he slowly spoke.

Shangguan Xi was even more surprised when he heard this. Although it is rumored that Qin Tianjian's hexagram is very accurate, this is the first time he has been here.

After all, he wasn't too superstitious about these things in the past. Sure enough, after experiencing it myself, I did feel different.

"Do you know what this king is?" Shangguan Xi was still a little unconvinced, and tried again.

This time, the white-robed Taoist pondered for a long time, as if he was thinking.

The expression on his face also became much more solemn. There was no surprise and relief when Shangguan Xi entered the door just now, but instead hesitated.

"Prince Gong's request seems to be ambitious. As far as the current matter is concerned, the poor Dao advises the prince to deal with it cautiously. After all, the Tao is different, and you can't force each other to conspire. ”

The white-robed Taoist said and walked to the back room.

Shangguan Xi was about to ask something, but saw a gust of wind drifting past him. In the next second, he returned to his bedroom in Prince Gong's mansion.

Everything, as if it had never happened like that.

Until he woke up, he wasn't sure if he had entered the palace yesterday. But one thing he was sure of was that Mu Tianyue must be very special.

Otherwise, he would not have been alerted and stayed away by the Dao Chief.

But if Shangguan Xi was still a little curious before, now he is more interested in Mu Tianyue because of the words of the white-robed Taoist.

If the Tao is different, it seems that there should be no conspiracy. But what if he had to force it?

Shangguan Xi's mood suddenly became excited, and he wanted to ask the emperor for marriage.

If the emperor doesn't agree, let him compete with the crown prince. It's been a long time since the people in the palace have seen their brother snatch something, so it's also funny.

Throne room

"There is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat." The chief eunuch beside Shangguan Yan looked at the courtiers below, and said in a duck-like voice.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has a book." It was Su Shu who spoke, Su Wan'er's father. Zhongshu Ling, who was just promoted not long ago, is not light-hearted.

Shangguan Yan wanted to wave his hand, but he saw Su Shu who opened his mouth. After a two-second pause, it was allowed.

"The old minister thought that the candidate for the crown princess should be decided. It's good to let Qin Tianjian choose the birthday as soon as possible. ”

Su Shu knew that even if his daughter Su Wan'er had the ability to marry into the royal family, with her current status, she could only become a concubine at most.

Naturally, I no longer think about the identity of the crown princess. But now, if the candidate for the crown princess can be decided, it will also be good for the stability of the government and the opposition.

"Let me think about this matter for a moment. Come to think of it, the fifth child may also be able to do this happy event. After all, he is not small, and it will be good for double happiness to come to the door when the time comes. ”

When Shangguan Yan mentioned the happy event, his spirit suddenly improved a lot. didn't mind at all, Su Shu was concerned about the royal family's family affairs.

"Your Majesty."

"Retreat."

"Master Su, you are bold. I'm afraid that there are not many people in the government and the opposition who dare to say this. An official next to him said, giving Su Shu a thumbs up.

"I don't dare, I just feel that this matter has dragged on for a long time, after all, there are many dreams at night. The crown prince's choice of concubines is both a family affair and a state affair. As a courtier, how dare you not care. ”

Su Shu said, rushing to the person with a hand.

The people who are worried about it are just those old guys. He is a person who watches from the wall, and he is naturally very bold.

After all, the fire would never have reached his place.

It's just that the emperor said that the fifth prince Prince Gong took a concubine, but I don't know if it's true or not.

Su Shu thought about Su Wan'er's identity, and there was another layer of consideration about whether to include it in the ancestral hall.
