In the 22nd year of Hong'an, on December 20, ten days before the New Year, King Rong was assassinated and seriously injured in the shogunate. Mu Zhong, the first assistant, died trying to save King Rong. Prince Jing Xuanyuan Zhiyue and Kang Wang Xuanyuan Zhili united
Prince Fu Xuanyuan Zhixiu conducted a thorough investigation and finally found out a shocking result, that is, nearly half of the ministers in the court had colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty in an attempt to usurp the throne.
As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar. However, the Royal Guards of the imperial dynasty acted with lightning speed and brought the ministers on the list to justice before they had time to react. For a time, the three divisions, Dali Temple, and clan members
Yongjing Prefecture Yin was busy everywhere, and the prison was overcrowded. Emperor Hong'an, who was far away in other palaces, said nothing about such a large-scale purge, and King Rong was injured. Everything was done by King Jing and King Fu.
Under the control, even those who were usually unknown, but now sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and quickly replaced the replaced ministers, were fully appointed by the two kings.
The twenty-second year of Hong'an was the most uneasy year for all civil and military officials since the founding of Dajing. I don't know if it was the turmoil that exhausted the old emperor mentally and physically. The New Year's Eve banquet was not held, and Emperor Hong'an himself
He didn't come back from the other palace either.
Hong'an twenty-three years, the seventh day of the lunar month.
Without everyone knowing, Mu Jieyu returned to Prince Rong's Mansion without telling everyone.
Seeing Xuan Yinlan again after a few months, her heart was filled with mixed emotions when she saw his pale face and familiar but still charming purple eyes.
"These are all made by me, you can try them." Mu Jieyu personally placed the food on the table, dismissed everyone, and personally added rice and handed bowls to Xuan Yinlan.
Xuan Yinlan did not hesitate, took it with graceful movements, picked up the steaming bowl filled with the aroma of rice, and smiled softly: "I never thought that I would be able to eat the food you cooked before I die, even after eating this
I will rush to hell immediately and have no regrets."
Mu Jieyu's hand holding the cloth and dish stiffened, but she did not speak. Instead, she lowered her eyelids, and her long eyelashes covered up all her emotions.
Xuan Yinlan didn't speak again, and both of them were silent. One served the dishes carefully, and the other ate the meal seriously. Until they were finished, Mu Jieyu asked the maid to clean up and add tea sets.
Mu Jieyu made tea himself: "Thank you."
Xuan Yinlan was stunned for a moment, then realized that she was grateful to him for not killing Mu Zhong, and his smile deepened: "Girl, you are actually the kindest person."
"No matter what, after so many years of nurturing me, he...has not done anything that has substantially harmed me. On the contrary, my eldest brother..." Mu Jieyu said softly, "I still have to face my eldest brother, and now he
Forgetting everything in the past is the best outcome for me, him, and my eldest brother. In the future, with Princess Jinyang and my eldest brother at my side, he will definitely be able to spend his old age peacefully, and I have repaid his kindness for more than ten years.
"
Xuan Yinlan fell silent after hearing this, and his eyes fell softly but momentarily on Mu Jieyu's face. He looked at her with her head lowered, her flowing bangs falling down, and her picturesque eyebrows soft and tranquil. He
I really want time to stop at this moment, because he has imagined this scene countless times, waiting for everything to be settled, taking her to hide in the mountains and forests, and not caring about spending the rest of his life with another man's identity and appearance to stay with her, as long as she is happy
