Wenxuanyuan.

In a deserted garden.

Fan Wenzhen told his son the secret that he had hidden in his heart for many years, and his depressed mood obviously improved a lot.

"It seems that it is impossible for my sons to compete for the position of crown prince." After listening to the story told by his mother, Mu Qing laughed at himself and said.

"I'm sorry for you, my mother-in-law."

Fan Wenzhen looked slightly gloomy and responded, "I didn't expect that my child would be so outstanding. Without any help, he could step by step reach the point where he could compete with the other three princes. If I knew that you could be where you are today."

At the beginning, my mother-in-law would not agree to your father's request even if she died."

"Concubine, there is no need to blame yourself."

Mu Qing took a deep breath, with a gentle smile on his face, and said, "I don't care about the position of prince. If I really want to fight for it, I will fight for it even if the floods are raging. Father

Your Majesty, he can’t stop me!”

As he spoke, a chill flashed through Mu Qing's eyes, and murderous intent loomed.

Fan Wenzhen felt the murderous intention in his son before him, and was shocked. He immediately reminded him, "Son, your father is very thoughtful and ambitious. When in front of him, you must not show any hostility, otherwise, he will definitely not

Let me tolerate you."

"Mother, don't worry."

Mu Qing restrained his murderous intent and said calmly, "In my father's heart, my son is just an impulsive person. At most, he can be regarded as someone from the city government. It is not a concern at all. He will not take my son seriously."

"You still have to be careful in everything."

Fan Wenzhen warned, thought for a while, walked to the dry well, held it in his right hand, and suddenly, a bead flew out from the bottom of the dry well and fell into his hand.

Mu Qing's expression condensed slightly when she saw the beads in her mother's hand.

"Take this thing."

Fan Wenzhen turned around, handed the beads over, and warned, "Keep it away."

"What's this?"

Mu Qing looked at the beads in her mother's hand and asked in confusion.

"Hunyuan Pearl."

Fan Wenzhen said softly, "You can control the underworld and night ghosts to a certain extent."

"Why did mother give it to her son?" Mu Qing asked doubtfully.

"In the future, if there is a disaster from the underworld or night ghosts in the world, this Hunyuan Pearl can protect your life." Fan Wenzhen said seductively.

"Where is Father?"

Mu Qing frowned and asked, "My mother gave it to her son, how do I explain it to my father?"

"The Hunyuan Pearl belongs to the Fan family!"

Fan Wenzhen smiled coldly and responded, "The reason why your father brought a woman from a martial arts family into the palace was for the Hunyuan Pearl. However, for so many years, the mother-in-law has not handed over this thing.

It just gives me one more bargaining chip, and now, my mother-in-law will give it to you."

After saying that, Fan Wenzhen forced the Hunyuan Pearl into the hands of his son in front of him.

"Concubine, this Hunyuan Pearl is of no use to me, so there is no need to give it to me in such a hurry."

Mu Qing said with a serious expression, "The concubine probably still needs this thing to control night ghosts. It will be more useful if this thing is left with the concubine."

"Need not."

Fan Wenzhen shook his head and replied, "Concubine, there is a fake Hunyuan Pearl here. Most people can't tell it apart. It is used to control those immature night ghosts. That's enough. If you hold this bead, Concubine will also feel it in her heart."

I can feel more at ease.”

"Okay then, I will keep this bead first."

Seeing her mother's persistence, Mu Qing did not refuse and put the Hunyuan Pearl away.

"Son, be careful about your father."

Fan Wenzhen saw Mu Qing put away the Hunyuan Pearl and reminded him again, "The royal family is deep in water, and there are countless hidden secrets and methods. Even a saint like the Confucian leader can't see through it. Maybe, in this palace, like the mother-in-law

There are many more hidden things like this."

At this point, Fan Wenzhen paused and emphasized, "The same goes for the Li family. Don't get too close to them. In the eyes of your mother and concubine, the legitimate son of the Li family is the same person as your father. They are cold-blooded and unfeeling.

Test."

"No, they are different."

Mu Qing shook his head and replied, "Li Jiaoxi will put the choice in front of you. Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, he will not hide it from you. If my mother and concubine have the opportunity to meet Li Jiaoxi, they will know that the strength of the Li family lies in

Their terrifying power of unity, and Professor Li is the source of this power of unity."

"It's rare to see you speak so highly of someone."

Fan Wenzhen said in surprise, "However, according to high-ranking people, there are ways to win people's hearts. Son, you should be more careful. After all, you must be on guard against others."

"I will remember my mother and concubine's teachings." Mu Qing responded respectfully.

"Okay, let's go out, we can't stay here for long."

Fan Wenzhen glanced at the sky, gave a reminder, then slapped his palm on the boulder in front of him, sealed the mouth of the well, and walked outside.

Mu Qing quickly followed and left the garden together.

The two returned to the palace and chatted for a long time. However, no matter how much they were reluctant to leave, they could not stop the moment of separation from coming.

Before leaving, Fan Wenzhen looked at the child in front of him and warned him uneasily, "Son, on the battlefield, the sword has no eyes. You must remember to protect yourself."

"Don't worry, mother and concubine, my son and I will come back safely."

Mu Qing promised eloquently, "In these days when my son is away, my mother and concubine must take care of herself."

After finishing her words, Mu Qing knelt down and bowed respectfully, bidding farewell to her mother.

After a salute, Mu Qing stood up, said nothing more, resisted the nostalgia in her heart, and turned around to leave.

at the same time.

Li Garden, inner courtyard.

Li Ziye put down the chess piece in his hand, stood up and said, "I will go to the front hall to wait for the distinguished guests."

"Dignified guest?"

Hearing this, Taotao was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized and asked in surprise, "Young Master, are you talking about, His Highness Eleven?"

"Um."

Li Ziye nodded and responded, "Counting the time, it's almost time for Mu Qing to leave the palace."

"How did the young master know that the eleventh prince would come?" Taotao asked puzzledly.

They didn't know what Concubine Wen said to the Eleventh Prince. Why did the Young Master conclude that the Eleventh Prince would definitely come to Li Garden?

"Mu Qing is about to go on an expedition. Before leaving, he always wants to thank me as the instigator. Moreover, even if he doesn't take the initiative to come, I can just send someone to invite him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ziye smiled lightly and walked towards the front yard without any further delay.

He was looking forward to the next conversation.

The royal family is deep in water, but it is not completely invulnerable.

Mu Qing and Concubine Wen were an unexpected move for the Li family. However, variables do not necessarily mean bad things.

It just depends on how the chess player responds.

The old fox Emperor Shang, who occupies the position of emperor and has the power of a dynasty, is indeed difficult to deal with, but he is not weak either.

At least, in terms of layout alone, he thinks he can't lose to anyone.

Two quarters of an hour later.

Outside the palace, Mu Qing walked out, looked at the intersection ahead, thought for a moment, then turned and walked in the direction of Li Yuan.
