"Your people?" Chu Shuyao began to think about it.

During this time, the only favored newcomers are Xi Guiren.

"Are you talking about the Xi noble?" Chu Shuyao asked.

Meng Yichen didn't want to hide it at all, so he smiled and said, "It seems that nothing can escape your eyes." ”

Chu Shuyao couldn't figure it out again, "But the new show girls who entered the palace were all selected by the Queen Mother and the Seventh Prince." How did you place your own people on the side of the Queen Mother? ”

"Isn't that easy? I just made a deal with the Seventh Prince, Mu Lingchen. ”

"Deal? What is the deal? Chu Shuyao asked calmly.

"As long as I help Mu Lingchen ascend the throne, Mu Lingchen will promise never to attack the Western Chu State, and will also give up five cities?"

Meng Yichen's words shocked Chu Shuyao. But she still said indifferently, "This Mu Lingchen is really a loser." Are you sure you can work with this kind of person? ”

Meng Yichen sneered, "Actually, what Mu Lingchen said about ceding five cities is true or not, I don't know, and I don't care." I only know that cooperating with Mu Lingchen can take you back, and that's enough. ”

"You're really crazy, how do you know that Mu Lingchen can be trusted? What if this was a plan he had discussed with Mu Lingxuan? ”

Chu Shuyao said this, Meng Yichen was indeed hesitant. He also began to suspect that this matter was indeed too wrong.

From beginning to end, it was Mu Lingchen who took the initiative to find him, although Mu Lingchen never said that Shu Yao's true identity, but what if he knew?

I didn't have time to think so much, Meng Yichen said to Chu Shuyao, "I'll take you away now, and we'll talk about it later." ”

But they didn't have time to leave, and the pursuers of the Tanglin Kingdom had already chased after them.

The first to bear the brunt was Mu Lingxuan and Mu Lingchen, seeing these two people standing together, Meng Yichen understood everything.

He was furious and scolded bitterly, "Mu Lingchen, you actually don't keep your promises? ”

Mu Lingchen smiled proudly, "As the saying goes, soldiers don't get tired of cheating, it's the regent, you are too easy to trust people." ”

Chu Shuyao looked directly at Mu Lingxuan, and Mu Lingxuan was also looking at her.

After a while, Mu Lingxuan said to Meng Yichen, "Let go of Concubine Shu, I can let you go." ”

Not only Meng Yichen was surprised by this sentence, but Chu Shuyao was also surprised.

Meng Yichen gritted his teeth, "Don't you think about it." ”

"Do you know that she is the princess of my Western Chu Kingdom, and she is going back to the Western Chu Kingdom."

Regarding Meng Yichen's peace and discernment, Mu Lingxuan just said flatly, "I know what you said. But didn't the princess of the Western Chu Kingdom already announce her death? That was announced by the first emperor of your Western Chu State personally. ”

"And now the person you are holding hostage is my concubine, the concubine of the Tanglin Kingdom. If you don't let go of Concubine Shu today, I can say that you are the regent of the Western Chu Kingdom, and you are holding the Concubine of my Tangling Kingdom hostage. The army of the Tanglin Kingdom can easily attack the Western Chu Kingdom. I believe that the regent doesn't want to see the situation of the fall of the Western Chu State, right? ”

"You're so despicable and shameless!" Meng Yichen scolded.

"Really? I don't think what is so despicable and shameless about what I have done? If it's because my idea is so good, and it's the regent's compliment to me, then I'm glad I do. ”

"Don't talk nonsense with him anymore, just let people arrest him. The army of our Tanglin Kingdom can still attack the Western Chu Kingdom. Mu Lingchen suggested on the side.

"Nope." Mu Lingxuan raised his hand slightly.

"Even if you want to attack the Western Chu Kingdom, you need a legitimate and reasonable excuse. It is the so-called obedience to the mandate of heaven. At that time, presumably the common people of the Western Chu Kingdom were also very happy with my rule. ”

When Mu Lingxuan said this, Meng Yichen became even more angry. "Don't stop these high-sounding excuses."

"Since you don't want to, then don't be rude." Mu Lingxuan was also ruthless.

He instructed Mu Lingchen, "Go!" Don't hurt Concubine Shu, after all, Concubine Shu is pregnant. ”

Mu Lingxuan's fluttering words made the people present like five thunderbolts.

Chu Shuyao didn't expect that Mu Lingxuan actually knew. He actually knew that she was pregnant. But it has been hidden.

Meng Yichen was also shocked and heartbroken. This is her Shuyao! Mu Lingxuan is a beast. Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, it was still difficult to accept.

The two sides immediately entered a state of confrontation.

It is obvious that there are several times more people and horses in the Tanglin Kingdom than in the Western Chu Kingdom. Meng Yichen had no chance of winning at all.

In this situation, Chu Shuyao took advantage of Meng Yichen's momentary distraction and directly flashed herself out. Leave Meng Yichen's arms.

Then he put a dagger against his neck and said to Meng Yichen, "Take your people, hurry up." Otherwise, I will die in front of you. ”

"No, I must take you away today." Meng Yichen said this, but he was worried about Chu Shuyao's safety.

"Shu Yao, you put down the knife first, don't hurt yourself."

And Mu Lingchen spoke again, "Want to go?" It's not that easy! ”

Chu Shuyao immediately looked at Mu Lingxuan again, and said to Mu Lingxuan, "You let him go." ”

Mu Lingxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why should I let him go?" You can negotiate terms with him, but you can't threaten me. Why should I let him go when I could have taken him down? ”

"But I'm pregnant with your child!" When Chu Shuyao shouted these words, she was already infinitely sad.

Unexpectedly, at such a moment, she would actually have to negotiate conditions with Mu Lingxuan under such an excuse. This excuse made her ashamed of it.

"Kid?" Mu Lingxuan sneered.

"I can have many women bear children for me. And the child you gave birth to, and half of the blood of the Western Chu Kingdom, this is a child who will not reassure me at all. Do you think it's going to threaten me? ”

Mu Lingxuan's words were too cold.

Although Chu Shuyao didn't hold out hope at all, she still felt a faint pain in her heart.

Only Mu Lingchen could see that Mu Lingxuan's hand hidden behind his back was still trembling slightly. Does he care, cares about this child? Or do you care about the concubine?

Chu Shuyao is indeed unconditioned to negotiate with Mu Lingxuan now.

Mu Lingxuan then said, "That's okay, I can let Meng Yichen leave, but you still have to go back to Tanglin Kingdom and give birth to this child." After all, this can be regarded as a counterbalance to the Western Chu State. ”

"I'm tolerant enough, I wonder what Concubine Shu thinks?"

Chu Shuyao almost didn't hesitate, and said directly, "Okay, I promise you." ”

"But you have to let Meng Yichen go first."

Mu Lingchen listened on the sidelines, feeling anxious, and said to Mu Lingxuan, "Brother Huang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, do you really want to let Meng Yichen leave?" ”

"Let him go!"

"Brother Huang!" Mu Lingchen was unwilling.

"Bring Concubine Shu back well." After Mu Lingxuan finished this sentence, he left directly.

Mu Lingchen reluctantly watched Meng Yichen leave. But when Meng Yichen was about to leave, he actually shot an arrow from behind and injured Meng Yichen's arm.

Meng Yichen snorted muffled because of the pain.

Chu Shuyao was anxious and shouted, "Yichen! ”

I only heard Mu Lingchen say, "If it weren't for the imperial brother who said that he would let you go, today's arrow should have killed you." Now it's a lesson for you. ”

Chu Shuyao looked at Mu Lingchen hatefully, but Mu Lingchen smiled, "Concubine Shuniang, please!" ”

Chu Shuyao was taken back like this. Mu Lingxuan sent many horses to surround her, she couldn't escape at all, and she didn't commit suicide.

In the emperor's tent, the emperor was talking to the Seventh Prince.

The emperor said, "This matter is thanks to you. Otherwise, Meng Yichen will succeed. ”

The Seventh Prince's face was full of shame, "Brother Huang, don't say that, Meng Yichen was able to do this because of my selfishness." ”

"It's me who is not good, I almost formed an alliance with Meng Yichen. But the younger brother never thought about rebellion, and it was impossible to cede the city. The younger brother just wanted the imperial brother to apologize to Miaoqing. ”

When Mu Lingchen said this, he lowered his head with shame on his face.

"I've already explained to you about Miaoqing."

"Yes, the younger brother only learned today that the imperial brother is all for my good, and I blame the imperial brother for it."

"It's me who is sorry for the royal brother, and let the imperial brother punish me."

"Okay, what punishment is not punished, you and I are brothers. Don't say these polite words. ”

"You're tired after a busy night. Let's go back and rest! ”

"Yes, my brother is retiring."

After Mu Lingchen left, Mu Lingxuan sat down and thought about it.

He was thinking that when Chu Shuyao gave birth to a child, he would support that child and ascend to the throne of the Western Chu Kingdom.

It's just that he didn't expect that Mu Lingchen actually secretly made a deal with Meng Yichen.

I almost fell in love with Meng Yichen's way today.

and Jiang Zepu, if he hadn't caused a miasma, why wouldn't they have gone so late.

Meng Yichen wanted to take Chu Shuyao away, and said the past. But why did Jiang Zepu take Chu Shuyao away? What did he think?

It seems that what is going on, I can only ask Chu Shuyao.

Ling Chen would not forgive him easily if he did this. Although in the end, he suddenly figured it out and turned against him. Only then did the loss of the Tanglin Kingdom be avoided.

Regarding the old story of him and Mu Lingchen or Miaoqing, it would be a long story.

At the beginning, everyone thought that the current queen mother's parents should have a better chance of ascending the throne than him.

It was also for this reason that Miao Qing deliberately approached Mu Lingchen. But Mu Lingchen couldn't see Miaoqing's mind at all.

is also wholeheartedly devoted to her, and she will obey her words.

As an elder brother who has always had a good relationship with Mu Lingchen, he didn't want to watch his younger brother being deceived, so he also reminded Mu Lingchen a few times.

But Mu Lingchen didn't listen to it at all.

Later, he suddenly became the crown prince.

Miaoqing's father and Miaoqing began to care for her again.

He thought that if he wanted to protect Mu Lingchen and prevent Mu Lingchen from being deceived by such a woman, the best way was to include this woman in the harem.

But Mu Lingchen held a grudge against him because of this.
