The queen complained about this, but she didn't dare to go against the emperor openly.

I could only grit my teeth secretly, and I had nothing to do to ask Puyang Haokun to enter the palace and discuss what the prince's party was doing.

The imperial concubine was favored, and the prince's career became smoother, and it was easier to do things in the court.

And the emperor is addicted to Taoism, and he has no mind to know how to govern the government, and he is also a little lax about Gong Mu Shen, Puyang Haokun wants to do something now, I'm afraid he is also powerless.

The crown prince secretly sent people to assist Gong Mu Shen to return to Beijing, and also opened roads in the capital to reduce the danger on the road.

If you want to return to Beijing, you must first dispel Puyang Haokun's minions, and the prince first secretly set up a bureau for them, exposing the corruption cases of several officials under the Puyang Party, so that they are too busy to pay attention to other things.

The emperor was furious because of this, deposed several officials, and faintly suspected Puyang Haokun, Puyang Haokun cut off these minions in pain in order to protect his life.

Puyang Haokun hated this matter so much, but he was powerless to do anything more, so he could only endure this matter alive.

Next, he instructed the imperial concubine to find trouble for the queen, so that the harem was also in chaos.

Soon, it was discovered that there were palace maids in the palace who were secretly selling palace items.

The queen was furious and began to rectify the harem, which caused the dissatisfaction of the other concubines, but the imperial concubine won the hearts of the people.

And the prince also surrounded the courtiers in the palace and treated each other with sincerity, and the remaining neutral ministers in the court also praised the prince.

And all this he did was just paving the way for Gong Mu Shen to return to Beijing.

At this moment, the crown prince was standing on the city wall, looking at the blue sky, and the billowing smoke and sand rolled up in the distance.

The sunset had gradually crept up, smearing half of the sky, like rouge on a beauty's face.

"This is the only way to go, I hope you can come on time......

The crown prince sighed and looked into the distance, where several figures seemed to stand in the flying yellow sand.

The muddy water in the capital is really getting more and more turbid......

A lone bird flew by, making a terrible cry, which made people cold to the bone.

Rolling red dust, who can get out of the whole body?

At this time, Wanjun didn't know where he was......

Gong Mu Shen was not idle, he was still in the mountains at this time, planning how to sneak into the capital.

On the line of life and death, this trip back to Beijing must be full of danger.

"Xi Yuan, are you afraid?" Gong Mu put his arm around Chen Xiyuan's waist and gently touched her head, his face full of doting.

"Don't be afraid, when have you ever seen me afraid." Chen Xiyuan raised his head, said coquettishly, and smiled slightly at Gong Mu Shen.

"Are you scared?" Chen Xiyuan poked Gong Mushen's handsome face with his finger and asked back.

Seeing such a delicate and cute side of his princess, Gong Mushen's mood relaxed a lot, and he gently held Chen Xiyuan's finger.

"It's not like I've never seen this kind of scene, just a Puyang Haokun, and he can't bring me down."

"Okay, okay, I know, my husband is the most powerful person in the world." Chen Xiyuan hugged Gong Mushen's waist hard, and his mouth was as sweet as honey.

"You can say anything." Gong Mushen scraped Chen Xiyuan's nose with his hand and kissed her forehead dotingly.

Gong Mushen's eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Prince, hold on a little longer, he will soon be in the capital.

Recently, the weather has been sunny and the warm wind is gusting, which has caused the flowers in the garden to bloom.

Lu Qingyao sat in the middle of this garden, having nothing to do, enjoying flowers and drinking tea, but it also had a unique flavor.

"Vomit ......" Lu Qingyao was holding a silver needle in his hand, embroidering flowers, and suddenly felt nauseous and retched.

The palace maid next to her hurriedly waited by her side, so as not to neglect her master.

After Lu Qingyao finished vomiting, he rubbed his mouth with his hand uncomfortably, and even his curved willow eyebrows wrinkled.

How could I suddenly retch? Don't......

Lu Qingyao's eyes suddenly lit up, retching, this is a precursor to pregnancy!

"Call the Imperial Doctor!" Lu Qingyao's voice couldn't help but bring a little joy, and hurriedly ordered the maidservants beside him.

The elderly grandmother who was waiting next to her also realized this, and was overjoyed, and hurriedly congratulated the fourth princess, wanting to leave a good impression in front of her.

"This doctor hasn't come over yet, so don't be in a hurry to say hello." Lu Qingyao complained on his lips, but he was happy in his heart.

Originally, the queen and the fourth prince had some opinions about her a few days ago, if she was pregnant now, she would definitely be able to resolve the resentment in the queen's heart against her.

"Congratulations to the fourth princess, this is the happy pulse!" The imperial doctor repeatedly examined, and finally knelt down to say hello to Lu Qingyao.

"Is that true?" Lu Qingyao laughed the most to his ears, but he still asked cautiously.

"Weichen dares to use the head of Xiang Shang as a guarantee, the princess is indeed a happy pulse!"

"It's really good, send someone to tell the prince, and the emperor and queen!" Lu Qingyao touched his stomach excitedly, and hurriedly ordered the slaves below to reward the imperial doctor with dozens of taels of silver.

"Congratulations to the princess for having a noble son!"

The servants around them all said happily in front of Lu Qingyao.

And on the emperor's side, after hearing that Lu Qingyao was pregnant, he was so happy that he couldn't help himself, after all, this is the emperor's eldest grandson, and he has to be carefully protected.

He immediately asked the queen to take Lu Qingyao to the palace to give birth and raise him, and smoothly welcomed the arrival of the emperor's eldest grandson.

The queen was also very excited, and immediately ordered someone to go to the Four Princes' Mansion to pass the decree and let the Four Princesses enter the palace quickly.

Contrary to the previous indifference to Lu Qingyao, Lu Qingyao at this time was responsive to all requests and everything went well, which can be seen how much the emperor and queen are looking forward to this child.

And Puyang Haokun knew about it, but he was not as happy as he imagined, but his face was also much better than before, and his eyes finally softened when he looked at Lu Qingyao.

With the protection of this emperor's eldest grandson, not only Lu Qingyao had a smooth life, but even Puyang Haokun also had a lot of light.

The emperor no longer spoke coldly to him, and his attitude and tone were much better, as if he forgave him for what he had done before.

Within a few days, Puyang Haokun was called by the emperor to the imperial study for questioning.

"Haokun, do you know where Gong Mushen is now?" The emperor closed his eyes and gently sniffed the newly burned red sandalwood in the house.

"I don't know." Puyang Haokun lowered his head and said helplessly.

"So how is he doing now? Still alive? The emperor frowned obviously, and the comfort on his face was a little less, and there was a little more irritability.

Puyang Haokun broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to look up at the emperor, so he could only stand upright.

"It's Erchen's fault, now Gong Mushen is still alive in the world, and he didn't cause him damage."

"Rubbish! Even Gong Mu Shen can't deal with it, what use do I want you to do? The emperor slapped the table and smashed the teacup on the table, and the tea splashed on Puyang Haokun's feet, but he didn't dodge, just stood.

"Father's anger, although the son is incompetent, but the son is confident that he can defeat him in one fell swoop!" Puyang Haokun raised his hand and clenched it into a fist, looking like he was bound to win.

"Okay, I'm not here to hear you say this, what I care about is whether Gong Mushen is dead or not? When can I die? What a tragic situation when you die! I'm not here to hear you say that it's almost enough, but I'm going to see his head! ”

The emperor stretched out a finger and pointed at the table, stabbed it hard, and couldn't help but stand up when he was excited.

His defense and fear of Gong Mu Shen have risen to a level, and he clearly feels that Gong Mu Shen's life in this world is a thorn in his eye, a thorn in his flesh, as long as he is in one day, his throne will be difficult to protect.

"Yes, Erchen knows." Puyang Haokun clenched his fists and saluted the emperor.

"You must know that when dealing with people like Gong Mushen, you must not be soft-hearted, and when you decide, you must send more people, but you must leave your name and I will be rewarded."

A fierce light flashed in the emperor's eyes, and it was particularly deep in this imperial study.

"Yes."

Puyang Haokun's expression was filled with a hint of joy and awe, happy that he and the emperor's enemies were the same, and the emperor's methods were far more vicious than he imagined.

"Go, if this thing is done, don't worry, this reward of yours will not be less!"

The emperor's voice was very low, and he knew how to mobilize the enthusiasm of others.

"Yes, Father."

"Stand down." The emperor waved his hand and picked up the fold on the table.

The night is like a huge black cloth, wrapping the entire capital tightly, revealing an inexplicable gloom.

A gust of wind blew, and people who knew it couldn't help but tremble, "The weather is dry, be careful of the candle." The sound of beating the watch echoed in the street.

One horse is neighing, several horses are neighing.

The sound of horses' hooves and footsteps, in this dark night, seemed silent, and so gloomy.

"Send more people, no matter what means are used, you must kill Gong Mu Shen to this king!"

The person on the horse is graceful and luxurious, stepping on a pair of gold silk soft boots, revealing a compelling evil spirit.

"Yes." Several men in black knelt on the ground with swords in both hands.

Puyang Haokun touched the hilt of the sword on his waist with his hand, and then pointed to the other leader of the man in black next to him.

"You support in the rear, looking for an opportunity to sneak attack, so that Gong Mu Shen has no way out."

"Yes, the subordinates have already sent people to divide into multiple batches, and once they find out Gong Mushen's whereabouts, they will definitely take him down."

A killing intent passed through the bone-eroding cold wind, blowing even colder people's hearts.

"Go and do it, there will be a reward after it is done, remember, if anyone kills Gong Mu Shen and leaves his name, the emperor will reward him." Also, put your hands and feet neatly, and keep your hands clean, so as not to leave trouble. ”

Puyang Haokun commanded, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

Gong Mushen, this time it's up to you to see how you escaped this catastrophe, and Chen Xiyuan......

You two adulterers*, wait to find death, wait until Gong Mu Shen is brought down, and it will be effortless to deal with the crown prince.

When the time comes, this world will be his Puyang Haokun.

"Hahahahaha......" Puyang Haokun raised his head and laughed, turned around and left on his horse, and ran in the direction of the Four Princes' Mansion.

The guards behind him hurriedly followed, and thousands of dust were rolled up.
