On this day of the beginning of summer, it rained heavily.

The courtyard of Ruiming Wangfu is filled with the smell of fresh earth.

Cen Mu Ning looked at the grass color map that had been drawn, and it was blown over by the wind that blew open the window, and a corner was in the inkstone, stained with ink.

"Oh, it's all slaves and maids, why didn't they press it with a paperweight, it's a pity that Miss is a picture." Bingling blamed herself.

"It's okay, it's just drawing and playing." Cen Mooning said softly: "Let people clean up." ”

"Yes." Bingling still regretted that he couldn't: "I remember that when I was in the mansion before, Miss was learning to paint quietly by Mrs. Cheng's side. The grass-colored smoke wave map painted by Mrs. is the most beautiful. ”

"yes." Cen Muning nodded: "At that time, I just liked to paint these, I didn't like to play the piano or embroidery." My mother always said that it would be nice to be proficient in the same way. It's a pity that I am the prime minister's daughter, and my future husband will inevitably be a powerful person in the court. It's going to be the same, it will seem that she can't train her daughter, and it's a joke when she says it. ”

"Miss remembers everything." Bingling's eyes were slightly moist.

"yes." Cen Muning took a sip of the teacup, saw Qingli coming in quickly, and hurriedly asked, "Is Your Highness going back to the house for dinner?" ”

"I'm afraid I can't." Qingli's face sank slightly, and he said, "Today, another important minister died on the white jade pillar in front of the Golden Palace. I heard that it was very impassioned, and the ministers were furious, and their desire to depose the emperor became stronger and stronger. This is already the third important minister who died in the past two days, and I heard that it was the powerful minister who was forced to accept the queen as a daughter that day. ”

"What?" Cen Muning couldn't help but be stunned: "On that day, he was willing to share the emperor's worries and give the queen a glorious identity...... Why do you want to turn against each other now? ”

"I guess it's forced to do so." Qingli said with some concern: "I have received a secret report that the emperor has secretly mobilized nearly 100,000 troops to secretly return to the imperial city from everywhere. And the transfer order has been transmitted everywhere as early as when the Queen Mother was sick. In the end, we overlooked. ”

"I can't complain that the emperor can rest easy." Cen Mu Ning thought of Zhuang Yanzhou's eagle-like sharp gaze, and her heart jumped suddenly. "An army of 100,000 is enough to suppress the strength of the entire imperial city. But...... If there is any war outside at this time, the imperial city will be in turmoil, but it will become a good opportunity for others to reap the benefits. ”

"The emperor has lost his mind, and he wants the life of his master with all his heart." Qingli frowned: "It's a pity that those old ministers who support the queen mother on weekdays categorically refuse to let go of the queen at this time, and finally the emperor's courtiers don't want their king to be infamous." All the wrath must be sprinkled on the queen. ”

"Pity her." Cen Muning sighed slightly. "She just likes the emperor, what's wrong......"

Qingli didn't say anything, but poured tea for Cen Mu again.

"What are your highness's plans?" Cen Muning asked worriedly.

"The master is now kept in the palace by the emperor for various reasons. Find ways to make the master fight against those loyal ministers. In fact, it was nothing more than him clamping down on his master's wrist. On the one hand, the master couldn't take time out of his body to prepare for dealing with the emperor. On the other hand, if you offend these courtiers, you are incompetent. The emperor himself did not act, but he used his master as a shield, which is really shameless. ”

"There's another level." Cen Mu Ning thought for a moment, and then said: "If Your Highness really suppresses these angry courtiers strongly, I am afraid that the Qing Council outside will not be good." But if he does not act like the emperor, it is equivalent to violating the holy will, and the emperor can take the opportunity to dispose of His Royal Highness. ”

"The master has been pushed to the cusp...... "Qingli's heart jumped suddenly, and the whole person was very uneasy." On the day of the death of the Queen Mother, the emperor issued an order to lock the gate of the imperial city. Everyone can enter and exit, but only by virtue of their household registration. No one is allowed to enter the city if there are more than five people in the group. is undoubtedly trying to block the master's forces outside the city. In this way, if there is really an accident in the city, it will be difficult to rescue, princess, how can this be good? ”

Cen Muning frowned slightly, and didn't make a sound for a long time.

The wind outside was blowing the branches, and the sound was disturbing.

"It's not like there's no other way." Cen Mu hooked her lips and smiled: "Accompany me into the palace." ”

"The princess wants to enter the palace?" Qingli couldn't help but worry: "But the master has instructed the slave and maid to accompany you in the mansion." Don't bother with anything outside the house......"

"Your Highness has His Highness's thoughts, and I have my concerns." Cen Muning frowned slightly: "If the emperor doesn't fall, His Royal Highness and I will not have a peaceful life." Since it is a competition that must be fought to the death, everyone wants the other party to breathe first. ”

"Yes." Qingli no longer hesitated, and immediately went to prepare the carriage.

"Miss, the slave maid will also accompany you into the palace!" Bingling was worried: "If there is something, there is always a response." ”

"It's fine." Cen Mooning nodded, and went out with her hand.

The palace was heavily guarded, and it looked so dignified.

The loss was Cen Muning, as well as the token given by the queen that day, and there was no obstacle to entering and leaving the palace.

Not far from the Golden Palace, Cen Muning saw a familiar figure. "Bingling, go and ask Xiangye to come to the gazebo here. It's been a long time, and it's time to narrate. ”

"Yes, miss, the slave will go now." Bingling's footsteps briskly blocked Cen Xiang's way. "Xiangye, the young lady has entered the palace and is waiting in the gazebo over there. Please go over and talk. ”

Cen Xiang's face was a little yellow, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and he snorted angrily.

"Xiangye." Bingling saw him go in the other direction, and couldn't help but take another step: "Miss still cares about love, so she will talk to Xiangye here." If you don't go, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to speak in the future. ”

"Bold." Cen Yun said sharply: "Just a cheap maid, dare to threaten the true appearance? It's really your master's training. ”

Bingling smiled slightly and saluted gently: "Xiangye, please." ”

Cen Yun was so angry that he walked quickly towards the pavilion. "What else is there to say? Now that you are in the palace, don't you want to help your husband force the palace? The old man and you are different from each other. ”

"If my father is really so righteous and loyal, why did he pretend to be faint and retreat in front of the emperor that day? Why don't you dare to teach His Royal Highness King Ruiming a lesson for the emperor? Or in front of King Ruiming, desperate to defend the imperial power? So that people know that you are a loyal and loyal servant. ”

"How can this be true, what are you messing around here?" Cen Yun's face was cold when she was angry: "No matter how bad the old man is, he is also your father." You dare to speak like this, is it heaven-shattering? ”

"A little bit of paralyzing the atrium of the medicine was scattered, rolled half a small fingernail with a wax pill, and hid it in the mouth. Bite and swallow when needed. In the blink of an eye, you can wipe away your senses and faint. Cen Muning said slowly: "Just like my father's face at the moment, it is sallow in the cold, and he looks sick and haggard. Even if you can't compete with the power of King Ruiming, the emperor can't blame you for not being dedicated. If His Royal Highness King Ruiming can really get his wish in the future, thinking of your various inactions today, maybe not only will not take your life, but will also be able to preserve your current glory and wealth. Who made you the father of Princess Ruiming! ”

"Shut up." Cen Yun's face, alternating red and white, was very unnatural.

After just a while, he seemed to be a play, his face changed a few times, and he looked interesting.

"Every time we meet, we break up like this, do you think I really want to talk to you?" There was a kind of disdainful coldness in Cen Muning's eyes: "The current situation is that no matter what you do or what you do, the emperor will not spare you." The reason is very simple, your daughter is the culprit of the miscarriage of the queen. Do you think that the emperor can really write off this account in one lump sum after decades of diligence and loyalty? ”

"What did you say?" Cen Yun stretched out his hand to grab Cen Muning's wrist, but was blocked by Qingli with his own arm.

"Prime Minister, don't be rude to the princess."

Cen Yun withdrew his hand, and his breathing was slightly short: "You mean, the queen's dragon fetus was calculated by you?" Are you crazy? ”

"I've been crazy since the day my mother died." Cen Mu Ning looked into his eyes and said in a stiff tone: "If you didn't kill me, you should have expected that there would be today." Of course, for the sake of you raising me for so many years, I will give you two choices. Or, accompany your emperor to die, maybe he will die earlier, you won't die so ugly. Or, do something that will save your glory and the safety of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion. Come and make up for all these years, you owe me! ”

"That's how you want to help King Ruiming?" Cen Yun looked at her in disbelief. "You have to know what kind of person King Ruiming is! Do you think that I alone can achieve your wish? In this imperial city, to this day, when it comes to King Ruiming, how many people are not afraid? How can such a brutal and ruthless character deserve to be a treasure? ”

"You are not a cruel father who wants to stab his own daughter. Aren't you a respected prime minister now? Cen Mooning smiled coldly: "Boiling and whitewashing peace is the easiest thing in this world." Rare, how to get to the top. ”

After saying that, she smiled lightly, turned around and walked out of the pavilion with Bingling's hand.

Qingli was sure that Cen Yun would not attack, so he slowly retreated with them.

Cen Yun looked at her departing figure, and his heart fluctuated. Power and glory, net worth and life, now it is only how he chooses.

"How sure is the princess that she can persuade Xiang Cen?" Qingli asked in a low voice.

"I don't have the ability to persuade him. It's just that when talking to him like this in the palace, how can the emperor's ears and eyes not be able to see it. When the emperor doubted his loyalty, put pressure on him, and even dealt ruthlessly to him, he naturally knew how to protect himself. Cen Muning regretted: "I just feel sorry for my mother, and I would fall in love with such a person." It's a pity ......"
