On the roof of the temple, Seocho and Mu Yirong sat side by side on the ridge of the roof, looking up to admire the shining stars in the sky.

Today's stars are very face-saving, scrambling to be the first to shine brighter!

"I'm not going to let them hurt you. ”

Hearing Seocho's assurance, Mu Yirong smiled and rubbed Seocho's cold little hands: "I said, I want to go to Mount Tai with you to propose marriage, and I will never break my word." ”

"After getting married, will you live with me on Mount Tai?"

"Where you are, I will be there, and I will never leave you. ”

"I believe what you say. ”

But I don't believe in God!

Forced down the uneasy Seocho in his heart, hugged Mu Yirong tightly, listened to his heartbeat, and felt his breathing.

Mu Yirong, who was rubbing Seocho's head, smiled: "You said that we will become relatives in the future, how many children will we have?"

"I'll give you as many as you like. ”

"I'm afraid you'll work hard, let's just give birth to one. ”

Seocho, whose voice was a little choked, nodded and said "yes".

Mu Yirong saw that Seocho was depressed, so he joked: "Our children, are they going to hatch out of the eggshell?"

Ruicao, who buried his head deep in Mu Yirong's arms, for some reason, had the urge to cry.

After a long while, she raised her little face and stared at Mu Yirong: "Tonight, you stay!"

The next day, the old lady Mu, who changed into the court clothes of the wife, entered the palace with a dragon-headed cane.

Emperor Xuanyuan, who sent everyone away in the west hall of the Taiji Palace, had a long talk with Mrs. Mu, and no one knew what the two of them had talked about. It's just that after Old Madam Mu left the West Hall of the Taiji Palace, Emperor Xuanyuan smashed everything in the entire house.

Then, Emperor Xuanyuan, with the support of Liang Chen, the chief eunuch, personally went to the early dynasty.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty kneeling on the ground could all feel the anger of Emperor Xuanyuan, like a whip on fire, pumping in all directions, scaring everyone into not daring to speak, except for one person.

Mu Yirong, who knelt in the center of the court, presented the recital and several files, and played the felony of Duan Linrui, the county commander of Qiupu County, who illegally minted copper mines, minted coins privately, and killed people to cover up crimes.

and the eldest prince, Konoe Lin Zhengyi, who was in the same league with Duan Linrui, the county commander of Qiupu County, and wanted to kill the officials of Dali Temple who went to investigate the case and obstruct the case. and also stole the dirty silver confiscated by the government, and it may be the real culprit of the monster murder case in Shangjing.

The guards of the Great Prince, who were inseparable from the Great Prince, heard Mu Yirong's twists and turns, and everyone finally understood why Emperor Xuanyuan looked like a volcano about to erupt.

Before, when Yu Shang'an and Shen Guogong sued the eldest prince, Emperor Xuanyuan was so angry that he was like thunder, but this time, he seemed a lot calmer, and if he reported it, he had to deal with it, who could be responsible for hearing the case?

Dali Temple is in charge of investigating the case, and the Criminal Department is responsible for hearing the case, but Emperor Xuanyuan did not directly hand it over to the Criminal Department to try the case, naturally because the Criminal Department Shangshu is the father-in-law of the Great Prince.

It's just that in this situation, who dares to take this case.

Seeing that the old prince is about to burp Chaoliang, the little emperor will ascend the throne and become the emperor in three days, and the change of dynasty will come.

The civil and military officials who were worried that it would set off a bloody storm, some secretly scolded Mu Yirong for being troubled and didn't know what to do, and now in this situation, they dared to jump out and accuse the prince, which was really a long life; some scolded Mu Jingzhong for having no way to teach his son, and even let his son risk the whole family being affected, when this is a bird who is destined to be killed.

Anyway, the entire court is complaining that Mu Yirong has nothing to do, and he is a big fool who can't see the situation clearly.

Seeing that no one dared to take over the responsibility of trying this case, Emperor Xuanyuan finally couldn't help but get angry, and scolded the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty for being incompetent rats, cowards, and a bunch of rice worms who only knew corruption.

Emperor Xuanyuan, who was angry, finally handed over the case to Dali Temple for trial, and gave Mu Jingzhong of Dali Temple a gold medal for avoiding death, as long as Yan Zhou was still surnamed Xuanyuan, Mu Fu could be an official in the court, except for his own resignation.

With this edict, Mufu can be regarded as preserved, even if Prince Xuanyuan Cang finally ascends the throne, it will not be possible to take Mufu.

Mu Jingzhong, who had been kneeling below, took a few steps forward, knelt down again, and received the order.

And at this moment, outside the hall, there was a royal history into the palace, and the princess knelt outside the door of the main hall, took off the hairpin to wait for the sin, and asked to see the saint.

The harem concubines are not allowed to interfere in the government affairs, and they are not allowed to enter and leave the court.

But the imperial history that went out soon turned back, and the Taoist princess came to confess her guilt, asking to meet the current saint, and was willing to state the crimes in front of the Manchu Dynasty.

Emperor Xuanyuan's nose was about to be crooked, and he couldn't control his anger anymore, so he ordered someone to drag Wang Guifei back to the harem. But Wang Guifei had already ignored the obstacles and strode into the court, startling the civil and military officials on both sides, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, lowered their heads, and did not dare to offend the honor of the concubine.

Wang Guifei, who walked into the court, knelt on the ground with a "plop": "The concubine greets Your Majesty." ”

"As a harem concubine, but you entered the palace in the previous dynasty and lost your physique, how will you deal with yourself in the palace in the future?"

Emperor Xuanyuan's tone could be heard that he was trying his best to restrain his anger, and compared to him, Wang Guifei's tone seemed much calmer.

The concubine came to confess her guilt and receive her punishment. Qiupu County privately mined copper ore and minted coins privately, but the concubine instructed the guard Lin Zhengyi. ”

Wang Guifei suddenly came to confess, and everyone was shocked, but because of the etiquette, no one dared to look up at Wang Guifei.

Hearing Wang Guifei's confession, Emperor Xuanyuan suddenly smiled, but his smile implied a sharp edge.

"You said that Qiupu County mined copper mines and minted coins without permission, but you were instructed by you?"

Wang Guifei prostrate on the ground: "The concubine deserves death." ”

Seeing that Wang Guifei actively and sincerely confessed her guilt, without the slightest intention to justify, Emperor Xuanyuan couldn't help but snort coldly: "In the harem, you are the most diligent and thrifty, and you are the most generous in treating your subordinates, and you never care too much about money. But why did you risk killing your head and ordering people to mine copper and mint coins?"

"The concubine deserves death. Concubines are greedy for vanity......"

With a "snap", Emperor Xuanyuan slammed the table: "To be honest." ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all so frightened that they fell to the ground, and they didn't dare to make a sound, secretly shouting what a hellish day today!

Wang Guifei, who was also shocked, trembled slightly: "Back to Your Majesty, the concubines privately minted coins and handed them over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for relief to the victims." The concubine deserves death, please don't be angry with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince because of this, he doesn't know the source of the money at all, thinking that it is the support of the concubine's family and His Majesty. ”

Hearing Wang Guifei's words, Emperor Xuanyuan fell silent, and the hall was full of civil and military affairs, knowing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was saved at this time.

"What you have done, although it is a good deed, I also have a heart. But the laws of the country cannot be ignored, and the laws of the court cannot be changed overnight, so you can only give you a whole corpse, and retreat and cut off yourself!"

Wang Guifei kowtowed and thanked her, and did not retreat in the hall, but raised her head, weeping and asked Emperor Xuanyuan, she has a few last words to say to Your Majesty, I don't know if you can retreat from everyone?

Emperor Xuanyuan, who was staring at Wang Guifei, nodded after a while, and ordered all the civil and military officials in the hall to withdraw.

One by one, the court officials who knelt with sore legs and feet did not dare to straighten up, and they all bowed their heads and withdrew from Hanyuan Palace.

The court officials who withdrew from the door of Hanyuan Hall did not wipe the sweat off their foreheads, and they were shocked to find that on both sides of Hanyuan Palace, they were full of imperial forest troops waiting for Emperor Xuanyuan's orders, and Xuanyuan Cang, the prince, was kneeling outside Hanyuan Palace.

Prince Xuanyuan Cang's supporters all secretly sweated, and their hearts were still old and spicy, if they dared to act rashly in order to help the eldest prince get rid of his guilt, they must have all been shot into a hornet's nest by the Royal Forest Army at this time.

Some courtiers who wanted to go up to appease Prince Xuanyuan Cang finally retracted their steps, as long as they endured it for another three days, when Prince Xuanyuan Cang ascended the throne, they would no longer need to live in such fear.

The courtiers who glared at Mu Jingzhong and Mu Yirong's father and son left the Hanyuan Hall together and went to the prince's east palace to meet and wait for news.

In the Hanyuan Palace, Liang Chen, the chief eunuch, wanted to step forward to help Wang Guifei get up, but she stopped him.

Wang Guifei, who was kneeling on the ground, had red circles in her eyes and a smile on her face.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry. The concubines trespassed into the court, which embarrassed His Majesty and shamed him. It's just that the concubine wanted to kill herself to apologize, but she had to consider it for His Royal Highness the Prince, and she couldn't bear to let him be implicated by the concubine. ”

Emperor Xuanyuan, who was staring at Wang Guifei, suddenly waved his hand at Liang Chen and asked him to withdraw as well.

Liang Chen, who hesitated for a moment, finally bowed down and retreated.

In the huge and quiet court, only Emperor Xuanyuan and Wang Guifei were left, and Emperor Xuanyuan spoke in a cold voice.

"I know that you are a human being, you don't have to excuse the rebel son, I know that the real guilty people are him and Shen Guogong. ”

A tear slipped down Wang Guifei's cheek, she reached out and wiped it gently, and smiled at Emperor Xuanyuan.

"The concubine thanked the saint for his knowledge and fulfillment. ”

After Wang Guifei said this, the hall fell into silence, and after a long while, Wang Guifei, who had completely stopped her tears, raised her head again.

"Your Majesty, when the concubine first saw Your Majesty, Your Majesty was still the crown prince. He went out hunting with the emperor and his courtiers. Because my father hunted the most, he had to go to the palace to reward him, and his majesty came with him at that time, and the concubines thought they had seen the gods. ”

When Emperor Xuanyuan was young, he was handsome and handsome, and he had a taste of immortals in paintings.

"If I remember correctly, you were only eight years old. ”

Which girl is not pregnant with spring, not to mention, the prince Xuanyuanli, who was a fairy-like figure at that time, not only has a noble status, a dignified appearance, and a good conduct, which can almost be said to be the yearning of all women in Yan Zhou.

Although Wang Guifei was still young at that time, it was not surprising that a small seedling sprouted in her heart.
