After several ministers left, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps.
Mu Yangtian was lying on the shore reviewing the memorial. Hearing the footsteps, he buried his head and said, "Didn't I tell you? Don't come in and disturb me when I'm busy with state affairs. Don't go out yet!"
However, the figure did not leave. She stood there and looked directly at the person on the throne.
Sensing that gaze, Mu Yangtian raised his head and was about to attack. However, when he looked at the woman standing below, the pen in his hand suddenly fell down, and the vermilion ink rubbed against his hand, but he was completely unaware of it.
Feeling average.
"You're back!" Mu Yangtian slowly stood up, his eyes full of surprise, and it took him a long time to say.
Mu Xuening smiled lightly, with a gloomy look in her eyes, "Yes, I'm back. Brother Emperor, stay well!"
Xiangtian Palace
In the room, Mu Qingyuan came back and sat at the desk. He rubbed his head and felt extremely tired. He had not rested all night and his body could no longer bear it. He took a sip of the tea on the table and let out a long sigh of relief.
His face was full of ambition. His father had already considered handing over the disaster money case to him. This was an opportunity for him to show off. Moreover, his father had already agreed to that matter, and even the imperial edict had been given to him. He looked at the table.
He couldn't help but smile at the bright yellow imperial edict.
"Your Majesty, you seem to be in a good mood?" Xiao Yao whispered in the room. Remembering that the fourth prince was not in the palace all night yesterday but in Yun Xiang's Mansion, he had an ominous premonition in his heart. He was afraid that this might be the case.
The matter is related to Yun Yan again, but there are some things he can't always say in front of the prince. If he talks too much, he will only become disgusted with him.
As for Xiao Yao, he has been with him since he was a child, so Mu Qingyuan has always regarded him as one of his own. He smiled and said: "Of course it is a good thing. I will soon take over the disaster bank embezzlement case.
After this incident, I will be able to get the position of crown prince easily. Even if the second son guards the border and works hard, it doesn't matter. It's just the courage of an ordinary man."
Hearing this, Xiao Wan could not help but frown and said: "My lord, I don't know if you have heard the rumors. This bank embezzlement case is very likely to have something to do with the uncle. If you try this case, when the time comes, what will happen to the uncle?"
How about the side?"
With a slight smile on his face, Mu Qingyuan looked at Xiao Yao below and said calmly: "Of course I will deal with it impartially!"
"But the Gao family behind Mr. Guojiu supports you. If they are really found out, I'm afraid your power in the court will be weakened by then." Xiao Yao said bluntly.
Shaking his head slightly, Mu Qingyuan's eyes flashed with a coldness, "Do you think my father can allow the Gao family to continue to be so rampant? To tell you the truth, not only the Gao family, but also the Yun family, my father has always been afraid. And I, the king, have always been afraid of it.
I have already made a plan in my heart. If I ascend the throne as emperor in the future, the first one to be destroyed will be the Gao family. Whoever lets their strength become too big and threatens the imperial power will be damned!"
Nodding, Xiao Yao said: "That's it, I understand."
After thinking about it, Mu Qingyuan stood up. He looked at the imperial edict on the table, picked it up and walked out. He had to do something.
"Your Majesty, you didn't rest all night yesterday. If you have anything to do, please ask your subordinates to do it." Xiao Yao said quickly.
Mu Qingyuan held the imperial edict tightly and said with a meaningful smile: "No, of course I have to do this in person. Who told me to have a good relationship with the Seventh Young Master?" After that, he walked directly out of the door.
Go.
Looking at the imperial edict in Mu Qingyuan's hand, Xiao Yao suddenly thought of something. He pondered for a moment and followed out.
Fengzao Palace
Queen Gao Yueli was sitting on the phoenix chair, and several maids behind her were rubbing her shoulders. For some reason, she always felt her eyelids twitching. Suddenly she shouted, "It hurts me so much, please be gentle."
.”
The maid behind him was startled, and quickly knelt on the ground, pleading: "The Queen, forgive me, slave, I didn't mean it."
"Okay, get out!" Gao Yueli shouted at the maid.
The palace maid was obedient and went out in a panic.
Glancing at the standing maid, Gao Yueli raised her phoenix eyes slightly and asked, "Myolie, has the Fourth Prince returned to the palace?"
"I heard from the eunuch of Xiangtian Palace that the Fourth Prince has returned." Xing'er said as she was told.
Hearing this, Gao Yueli suddenly slapped her hand on the table, and said angrily: "Why don't you invite the fourth prince to me quickly? Huh, if you don't care about him anymore, the position of prince will no longer be his.
"Remembering that Mu Qingyuan was not in the palace last night, she became angry. When did her son become so incompetent? Did Yunyan really take his soul away? It's too outrageous.
Xing'er raised her head, glanced at Gao Yueli, and whispered: "Yes, but there is one thing I don't know whether to talk about or not."
"What's the matter?" Gao Yueli said impatiently, picking up the tea cup on the table and taking a sip of tea.
Xing'er glanced at Gao Yueli and said carefully: "Princess Yongning is back."
"Who did you say is back?" Gao Yueli frowned, as if she didn't hear clearly. She looked at Xing'er and asked again.
"Princess Yongning is back!"
The tea cup in Gao Yueli's hand instantly fell to the ground. She asked with a trembling voice: "You said Mu Xuening is back?"
"When I went out earlier, I saw her going to the royal study. I didn't believe it at first, but later I heard someone in the palace say that the eldest princess came back with the Sixth Prince." Xing'er whispered.
After hearing these words, Gao Yueli stood up from the chair in an instant. She wrung her handkerchiefs, her eyes filled with a heavy look, "Go to the imperial study immediately!" After saying that, she walked forward directly, but took a few steps.
, she stopped, thought for a moment, and said in a panic, "No, I can't go there now!"
"Your Majesty..." Looking at Gao Yueli's nervous look, Xing'er shouted in a low voice.
"Get out!" Gao Yueli shouted loudly.
At this time, a woman in light orange palace clothes walked in from outside the door. She chuckled softly and said, "The Queen is fine. Her temperament seems to have not changed in the past ten or twenty years."
Looking at the person coming, Gao Yueli was startled, why did she get here? Why didn't anyone come in to report? Looking at the woman in front of him, he hadn't seen her for almost twenty years, and her appearance was almost the same as before.
She still has the charm of being the second most beautiful woman in Liangdu.
Gao Yueli frowned, but still said with a smile: "Who did I think it was? I didn't expect the eldest princess to come back. Look, we haven't seen each other for more than 20 years. I have become old and yellow, but the eldest princess is quite charming."
It’s still the same, have you worshiped the Buddha sincerely over the years, and the Buddha will bless you.”
With a soft smile, Mu Xuening said calmly: "The queen is getting better and better at speaking. The Buddha naturally favors kind and sincere people. But sometimes, the Buddha will be blinded by those who are evil-hearted and look at the queen.
My health is quite good, but I am worrying too much."
Hearing this, Gao Yueli frowned again, and her eyes instantly became cold. Was she cursing her to death? She glanced at Xing'er beside her, and Xing'er left with the other palace people.
"The eldest princess is not just coming to see me today, is she?" Gao Yueli didn't intend to hide it anymore and asked directly.
Mu Xuening shook her head slightly and said with a slight smile: "The Queen is my sister-in-law. The so-called elder sister-in-law is like a mother. It is normal for me to come to see you. Besides, I would like to thank the Queen for taking care of Jingnan these years."
Hearing this, Gao Yueli was shocked, and she said in a deep voice: "Eldest Princess, there is no need to say thank you. I am the queen, and Jingnan is also my child."
"It's just that lately, there are concubines and children crying in my dreams every night, crying out their grievances, just like Concubine Yu back then. I always comfort them, the children in this harem are all the children of the queen, even if the queen is not
I cherish those concubines, but the queen is also a mother, so she will naturally treat those children well." Mu Xuening looked at Gao Yue Liyin and said with a smile.
Gao Yueli's beautiful eyes widened, but she still said: "The eldest princess has elevated me!" Her voice was trembling, and she looked at Mu Xuening, did she know something?
After leaving Fengzao Palace, Mu Xuening could not help but look back at the majestic palace. Her heart sank slightly. Gao Yueli had been frightened by her just now. In fact, there were some things that she was not sure about, but this time since she
When I come back, I must get to the bottom of everything.
Looking at the figure going out, Gao Yueli suddenly fell on the chair. No, she wouldn't know. She was just an ignorant girl at that time. How could she know? And even if she knew, so what?
Does she have evidence? Oh, she, Gao Yueli, is the queen. As soon as the emperor dies, she will be the queen mother! Who can control her then?
Afternoon, Suxuan Pavilion
Yunyan stayed on the deck chair in the yard to bask in the sun, stroking her chest gently. She had to admire him in her heart. If she had done the exercises to heal her injuries, her heart would still hurt now. But this time, she was tired again.
Although she said she was eager and happy to see him, she knew that she could never open the door in his heart.
When she was bored, Yunyan took a look around. She was surrounded by camellias, which were colorful and beautiful. The fragrance of the flowers was sultry. The most important thing was that the fragrance of the flowers even had medicinal effects. She felt very good smelling it. If she could use these flowers
After making medicinal materials, I wonder what Mu Jingnan would think.
Thinking of this, Yunyan's face couldn't help but stiffen, and she smiled bitterly, what was wrong with her, she thought of him for no reason.
At this moment, a hurried figure suddenly ran in. Looking at the man, Yun Yan smiled and said, "Why are you running so fast, girl? No one is chasing you."
Bishui ran to Yunyan and stroked her chest. She was out of breath. She took a breath and said, "It's not good, Miss..."
After hearing this, Yun Yan sat up from the recliner, looked at the clear water, and asked doubtfully: "What happened?"
"Something happened at Linglong Pavilion. The emperor has granted you a marriage!" Bishui said in a panic.
