Chapter 18: Mystery
"Nonsense, it's ridiculous." The visitor spoke, and put the mask back on.
Then he stepped into the night and slowly paused in the darkness.
The white-robed Taoist looked at the cup of tea brewed on the table, and woke up the little boy in three or two clicks.
Then he pointed to the tea on the table and gestured.
The child was puzzled, and grunted a few times. The white-robed Taoist looked at the child's appearance, and felt even more funny.
But it's worth this cup of tea.
Otherwise, it's a shame to waste.
Mufu
Mu Tianyue has been very peaceful recently, and even Mu Wu, who has always been afraid that she will become ill, rarely shows a fatherly smile.
Since Su Shu proposed the canonization of the crown princess when he was in the last dynasty, a period of time has passed unconsciously.
Under the government and the opposition, the ministers talked a lot.
Mu Tianyue naturally had lingering feelings about the events of that day. Thinking of meeting Shangguan Xi again under that circumstance, my heart was complicated.
Mu Qianyue thought that Shangguan Xi should not think of the real reason why he avoided him.
After all, the idea of rebirth is indeed incredible.
It's just one more thing, Su Wan'er has been very peaceful in the past two days.
Listening to the report from the porter, although Su Wan'er came to visit, she was still blocked by Mu Wu.
Tao Yanyan had also come to the door a few times, and when she saw Mu Tianyue's lazy appearance, she paused and didn't speak.
I also know that I have something on my mind, but I don't plan to inquire for a while.
Tao Yanyan understood that Mu Tianyue had her thoughts. It's just that I've come here a few times to see Mu Tianyue is still like this, and I can't help but be puzzled.
"Because of Prince Gong?" Tao Yanyan made a bold guess, but after hearing these three words, Mu Tianyue seemed to suddenly come back to her senses.
Although the gaze looking at Tao Yanyan was still dull, there was a bit of light.
"Hey." Mu Tianyue didn't know what she thought, and she was inexplicably depressed.
"What do you think, so engrossed?" Tao Yanyan looked at the look on Mu Tianyue's face from the side.
"Yanfei, what kind of person do you think Prince Gong Shangguan Xi is?" Mu Tianyue swept away her decadent expression and looked at her with great interest.
"Although he is a prince, he has a courtyard in the palace. Even if they don't fight or grab, it is estimated that most of the supporters in the government and the opposition will be in the background.
And he should be chasing the throne. After all, the current crown prince does not seem to be suitable to become an emperor. ”
Tao Yanyan looked into the distance and expressed her opinion. If Mu Tianyue's parents were here, they would inevitably be shocked.
However, Mu Tianyue has become accustomed to Tao Yanyan's performance before, so she is naturally not surprised at this time.
Although he was surprised by Tao Yanyan's uncertain prophet Shangguan Xicheng as the future emperor, if you think about it carefully, there are other theories that have roots.
If she marries Shangguan Xi, she may make Su Wan'er lose her status as the main family.
And the experience of a past life may be repeated again. She doesn't know if she can take revenge, but at least for now, Su Wan'er will be on her back.
And her identity as the prime minister's daughter may further influence the situation. It is very likely that the crown prince has already lost all the games before he even participated in this war.
But now that the emperor and queen have the idea of appointing her as the crown princess, maybe she should also take a stand.
However, would the crown prince Shangguan Yao be a reliable ally?
Mu Tianyue didn't know that she really didn't know much about this prince.
Except for knowing that his background is complicated, there is not the slightest clue.
Moreover, would the prince, who has been unknown for so many years and has no sense of existence in the palace or even in the imperial court, have such ambitions?
Mu Tianyue thought of this layer, and her head was big again.
What the emperor has in their hearts, there is no way to guess it.
After that, Mu Qianyue chatted with Tao Yanyan about a lot of gossip in Beijing and diverted the topic, which can be regarded as a turning page.
Throne room
"The Emperor, the Emperor... Slaves have something important to report! Shangguan Yan was practicing calligraphy, and the voice of a eunuch suddenly came from outside the door.
"Xuan!" Shangguan Yan held back his anger and spit out a word.
If it didn't matter, he would have to cut off the minion's head and kick it as a ball.
"Your Majesty. News came from Renfu Palace: The Queen Mother, it's gone. As soon as the eunuch who had come in had finished speaking, he fell to his knees on the ground.
Hearing this, Shangguan Yan sat down on the dragon chair.
In April of the heyday of Hualing Kingdom, the Queen Mother died. The emperor ordered the whole country to mourn, and no weddings and funerals were allowed for one year.
Mu Tianyue didn't expect things to change like this. The original plan seems to have been invisibly put on a layer of imprisonment.
But it's okay to do so, just give her a year to sort out the mess.
East Palace
"Master asked you to be a lobbyist again?" Shangguan Yao looked at the man in green shirt in front of him and paused. Slowly got up from the bed and put the cardigan on the shelf on himself slowly.
After a long time, look at the eyes
"There is nothing you have left in the capital now. Wouldn't it be good to live a new life with a different identity? The man in the green shirt really couldn't understand why Shangguan Yao still wanted to stay in the palace now.
If he were him, he didn't want to stay in this huge imperial city for an hour.
On the surface, it looks like a royal family with unique scenery, but the dirt inside makes people feel disgusting as long as they go deep into it. He really didn't understand the need to stay in such a place.
"I need time, and it's ridiculous to die so inexplicably. In another two years, I will take care of the affairs of the capital. Shangguan Yao said, and issued an order to expel the guest.
When the man in the green shirt heard this, he left a little decadently.
Prince Gong's Mansion
"Master, now you have a lot of time to spend with Miss Mu." The entourage beside him heard the news and hurriedly looked at Shangguan Xi.
If it was originally according to the queen's intentions, it was just a delay in the marriage. After all, looking at the emperor's intentions, it is already an indisputable fact that Mu Tianyue became the crown princess.
And when Shangguan Xi went to visit him that day, he saw Mu Tianyue's lukewarm performance towards him, and he also guessed that if the Holy Decree was to make a decision, there would be no room for a turn in this matter.
However, judging from the current situation, the Mu family is still in the initiative. In particular, the death of the Queen Mother will make the emperor have no time to take care of the prince's affairs for the time being. Even if it's just a one-year mourning period.
Mufu
When Mu Wu heard the emperor's decree after the death of the queen mother, he suddenly rejoiced. originally thought that since she accidentally entered the palace and Su Shu's court proposed to ordain the crown princess, her daughter would soon leave her side.
But now, because of the death of the Queen Mother, he was able to stay at home for an extra year.
Although it was not a long time, it seemed to be rare for him. Ever since he knew that Mu Tianyue had such a sanity, he always felt that she had become less happy than before.
If his daughter's sudden growth brought him sorrow, he would rather trap her in a cage. But even if Mu Qianyue is not sane, as the daughter of the prime minister, she seems to have been burdened with fate and karma that are difficult to unload since she was born.
