Just as everyone was expecting, a successful imperial examination came to an end.

Among the officials in charge of the prime minister's verification, among them, the crown prince and the eldest princess were all dismissed, and most of them attacked each other.

Under the operation of the empress, the second princess gradually emerged in the court, but unfortunately the eyes of the eldest princess were always focused on the crown prince and did not defend the second princess, which led to the second princess secretly accumulating a lot of strength.

The movements of the eldest princess and the second princess are becoming more and more obvious, and Mu Lian has recently found a very interesting thing, which is to tease Qingchen.

Although he is angry every time, he looks like he is dyed with rouge on his cold complexion, which is really the best in the world, even if he goes to take a cold shower, it is worth it.

After the imperial examination, the top three have been announced, and the prime minister received the candidates sent by Mu Lian, so he couldn't avoid suspicion and went directly to the prince's mansion.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"

Above the lobby, Mu Lian drank a glass of wine and smiled, of course, he was promoting the children of the poor family.

"It's all said that one thing is better than the other, I don't know if my aunt has calculated, where is the power that Gu and the eldest princess have lost these days?"

"This?"

The prime minister lowered his eyes, his face was like a palette, turning non-stop, the prince and the eldest princess fought inwardly, and the losses of the two sides were equal, but there was a second princess in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops at the border pass, which was intriguing.

As the prime minister, they are naturally very familiar with the court, and if there is no signal and concealment from Her Majesty, it is impossible for them not to notice the movements of the second princess.

Could it be that Her Majesty's favorite candidate in the heart of the Empress is the second Empress Muya, which is a big bad thing.

"Uncle don't worry, do what Gu said, as for the rest, Gu has his own plans"

"Yes, Your Highness"

The prime minister put down the wine glass and left with a deep face, it seems that he has to secretly go to the second queen's mansion to explore the truth.

"Your Highness, I heard that my mother is coming" Ruan Fangfu was short of breath, and he came running at a glance.

"My aunt is gone, what's wrong with my husband?"

Mu Lian drank a glass of wine, his face was slightly red, and he was slightly drunk.

"Your Highness, why is it that you drink alcohol alone?"

Ruan Xingzhou leaned over and added another glass of wine to the crown prince Mu Lian, the prince had never been to his house since he got married, and this was a good opportunity.

Mu Lian thought that Qingchen was full of interest in front of her just now, and happily went to congratulate the new champion, and couldn't help but feel a sulk in his heart.

Can't he see that the new champion is interesting to him, and he smiles so much, and he doesn't smile as well as she laughs.

"Your Highness" Ruan Xingzhou didn't know why, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was fine just now, why did he become fierce and vicious in the blink of an eye.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to"

As soon as Ruan Xingzhou's wine glass was poured, all the wine was sprinkled on Mu Lian's robe, and he immediately stepped forward to wipe it clean with a handkerchief.

"What are you doing?"

As soon as Yu Qingchen came back, he saw the intimacy between the two, and he was furious, sure enough, women are not credible, and what they say is better than what they sing.

"Qingchen, don't get me wrong" Mu Lian stood too fast, got drunk again, and suddenly fell on Ruan Xingzhou's body.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince" Ruan Xingzhou's face was flushed.

"You, you"

Yu Qingchen was about to explode, how could she be like this, what only needs him in this life, and what only loves him, she is a liar.

The next morning, the prime minister's paper caused an uproar in the Manchu Dynasty, this time the scientific examination was amazing, and he was able to occupy an important position as soon as he came out, after all, there were too many officials who were exposed to black information some time ago.

Seeing that the battle for the heir was about to break out, even the eldest princess and the second princess were a little caught off guard by the prime minister's move, and hurriedly sent someone to inquire about the details of the newly appointed officials this time.

Mu Lian has also become more and more busy these days, and he has no time to take care of things in the backyard until the arrival of autumn hunting.

During this period, the two princesses got married, the newlywed husband wore red makeup, envied others, and the imperial capital was lively for a while.

The autumn breeze is blowing, in the royal forest, there are wild beasts everywhere, Mu Lian wears a battle suit, holds a cold sword in his hand, and has a war horse under his crotch, which is majestic.

"Qingchen, I'll hunt a tiger skin for you."

"Driving"

Without waiting for Yu Qingchen to answer, Mu Curtain clamped the horse's belly and shot out like an arrow.

Yu Qingchen clenched the handkerchief in his hand, worried in his heart, and the men next to him were envious of the future prince one by one, look, His Royal Highness the prince cares about others.

Only Ruan Xingzhou's eyes seem to be quenched with poison, as long as you exist for a day, His Royal Highness the Prince's gaze will not be transferred to him.

The inquiring eyes on the side continued, especially the eyes of the new officials were even naked, after all, except for the eldest princess and the second princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the only one who did not show favor to them.

Mu Lian rode a war horse, moving forward at a rapid speed like the wind, followed by countless people, and suddenly heard a beast roar.

There was an extra arrow in his hand, and the trees in the distance swayed, and the leaves fell, revealing the huge beast behind him, which was actually a blind bear.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, protect His Royal Highness the Prince"

A large group of guards surrounded Mu Lian.

"Stand down and protect yourselves"

Mu Lian shot an arrow, hitting the blind bear in the left shoulder, but failed to kill, which angered the blind bear and rushed over with a roar.

A new officer fell off his horse in fear and fled in a panic.

"Just in time"

Mu Curtain carried a sword to meet him, Ling Xiao's sword technique, as soon as it came out, the sharp body technique was unfathomable and unfathomable, with the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers.

The blind bear slapped his palm at the fleeing official, and was about to pounce on the official.

"Brute, let me die"

Mu Lian stabbed an arrow into its heart, and the blood burst out, with the momentum of a desperate kill.

"Wechen thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for saving his life"

Luo Wei knelt on the ground, when it was thrilling just now, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the Prince, she would definitely die in Huangquan.

"Alone by the order of the empress, as the crown prince, you should protect all the people of Damu, including you"

"But I want to tell you that now Damu is in turmoil, although the country is stable, but after seven years of war, the land is barren, the people are hungry, and they are full of private pockets, officialdom scum, and fish and meat people"

"You are all from a poor family, you must be able to better understand the suffering of poor people, ten years of hard study, you are not just to become an official, become a master, but to benefit thousands of dawn people, so that they no longer live in fear and anxiety"

"What I want in my life is that my people can have enough food and clothing, the four seas are stable, and the country is rich."

"Now that the court is full of smoke and miasma, and gangs are formed, I want to tell you, I hope you don't forget your original hope and purpose"

"The ministers will not forget the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today"

A large group of courtiers knelt on the ground, and the eyes of the new officials glistened with tears of excitement, and the loyalty that slowly coalesced.

After Mu Lian finished speaking, she turned over and got on the horse, now that the goal has been achieved, it is time for her to look for the tiger skin for Qingchen.

As long as this group of people does not go to the camp of the eldest and second princesses, and always supports the imperial power, it will be fine.

Mu Lian disappeared in an instant, just for the sake of the last time, Qingchen hadn't paid attention to her for a long time.

Looking at it, a yellow shadow flashed, with the roar of the king of the forest.

After some thrilling, Mu Lian took the tiger back to the camp, but he didn't expect to hear the news that Qingchen was gone.

After looking around, Mu Lian received a report from the secret guard that Qingchen was coaxed by Ruan Xingzhou to ride into the forest alone.

When Mu Lian heard the news, he immediately rushed out.

"Your Highness, Your Highness"

Ruan Xingzhou was secretly happy in his heart, finally except for this Yu Qingchen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was his.

"If Qingchen has something, I'll ask you"

Mu Lian wanted to kill this Ruan Xingzhou, but Qingchen's safety was more important, so he slapped his horse's ass and ran into the royal forest.

"System, search for Qingchen's location"

Mu Lian arrived quickly after receiving the system's route, and saw a group of black-clothed people holding swords surrounding Yu Qingchen.

"Qingchen"

Yu Qingchen turned around, the two black-clothed men next to him were killed by arrows, the sound of horses' hooves came, and the woman led by him seemed to be dressed in a thousand rays of light.

"I'm coming"

Mu Curtain turned over, protecting Yu Qingchen behind him, and the sword of the man in black stabbed at Mu Ran.

The sound of cloth tearing, blood soaring, swords clashing.

"Your Highness, Mu Lian, how are you?"

Yu Qingchen was protected by Mu Curtain behind him, and his hands were sticky, bloody, a lot of blood.

"Your Highness, fight with them"

Qiu Tong arrived with the guards of the Prince's Mansion and killed the man in black.

"It is important to save His Highness first"

Qiu Tong and Yu Qingchen escorted Mu Lian back to the camp, and when they saw that Yu Qingchen was not dead, Ruan Xingzhou was shocked and angry.

Once the crown prince was assassinated, the whole country was furious, and the empress ordered the second empress to investigate the matter thoroughly, and this batch of people came from the palace of the empress at this moment, and the empress was imprisoned in the prison by the angry empress.

Mu Lian woke up, his chest ached, and when he heard the news that the eldest princess was imprisoned, there was a cold light in his eyes, and the thief shouted to catch the thief, if it succeeded, she died, and the eldest princess couldn't get out of it, if it failed, the eldest princess still couldn't get out of it, then she was left alone, the empress was really a good means.

"Your Highness, you still have injuries on your body, the imperial doctor said that you can't move" Yu Qingchen came in with a decoction and hurriedly stopped Mu Lian's movements.

"No, I can't listen to you this time, Qiu Tong, go to the study"

Mu Lian dragged the sick body, issued one order after another, and at the same time sent Yu Qingchen to the Zhuangzi outside the city on the pretext of recuperation.

"Let's go, go to the prison"

In the middle of the night, a black-clothed Mu curtain stopped in front of a dirty prison door, and a bewitching woman was imprisoned inside.

"I didn't expect you to be the last person to come to see me" Mu Rui laughed at herself, she became a king and a loser, she is now a prisoner, did she come to see her jokes.

"Do you remember Zhujun when you were a child?" Mu Lian entered the cell with Qiu Tong's support.

"Remember, he has no virtue, no tolerance, and no talent, but he fascinates the empress"

"Don't you understand?" Mu Lian paused and said.

"The empress's favorite Zhujun at that time, died tragically in the harem because of her favor, Mu Ya is his only child, think about it, the empress's favorite thing in these years is really you, is it me?"
