Inside the room, a dozen ministers lowered their heads and waited quietly, each with their brows furrowed, as if they were thinking about something.
I don't know how long it took, but a sharp sound came from the floor, one after another, accompanied by several footsteps.
Yun Mocheng was the first to wake up. He turned around and glanced at the people behind him. His expression calmed down and he quickly saluted and said, "Meet the Queen Mother."
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers turned around, saluted and said: "I will pay my respects to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is a thousand years old."
Empress Dowager Gao was leaning on crutches, and with the support of Aunt Yulian, she slowly walked towards the dragon chair above. When she was about to reach the steps, she suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at the person kneeling below.
, her withered face looked very tired, and she said calmly: "Chitose? Even Wansai is unconscious now. Can the Chitose of Aijia really be a thousand years old? Everyone, get up."
"Queen Mother, take care of your body." All the ministers said in unison, their heads lowered even further.
Shaking her head slightly, Empress Dowager Gao glanced at the kneeling people below with her turbid eyes, "Okay, everyone, get up. The Ai family doesn't have the strength to help you get up."
All the ministers stood up one after another, their heads still lowered.
Empress Dowager Gao scanned the crowd, and finally her eyes fell on Yun Mocheng at the bottom left, "Xiang Yun, the emperor is seriously ill, so I have to worry about the affairs of the court."
"For the Emperor and the East Yue Kingdom, doing things is what a minister should do, and I should do my best." Yun Mocheng stood up, raised his head slightly, and said respectfully.
Empress Dowager Gao nodded with satisfaction. She looked at the ministers below and continued: "Now the imperial doctor said that it is unknown whether the emperor will wake up. The Ai family knows what you are worried about now. The Ai family is here today to discuss with you.
About this."
"The Queen Mother, my ministers and others are also thinking about the Dongyue Kingdom. After all, a country cannot be without a king for a day. Someone must come out to take charge of the overall situation." A minister stood up and said.
Empress Dowager Gao nodded, "The Ai family has no intention of blaming you. Now, the Ai family wants to ask you, what are your opinions?"
As soon as these words came out, a minister immediately stood up and said: "I feel that the prince should be established immediately. Previously, I also submitted a petition to advise the emperor to establish a prince, but the emperor refused on the grounds that the princes still need experience. However, the situation is different now.
, so I also ask the Queen Mother to make a decision, establish a prince, and decide on state affairs."
"Yes, please let the Queen Mother make a decision." Some other ministers immediately agreed and said.
Empress Dowager Gao nodded, looked at Yun Mocheng at the bottom left and said, "What do Yun Xiang think?"
Hearing these words, Yun Mocheng raised his head again, glanced at Empress Dowager Gao, and replied: "The emperor's condition is not yet known. I also believe that the country cannot live without a king for a day, so I agree with what you all said."
Looking at the people below, a bright light flashed in Queen Mother Gao's cloudy eyes. The corners of her withered mouth slightly raised and she continued: "Which one of the princes does Yun Xiang think can take on the important task?"
Yun Mocheng raised his head and replied: "I think the fourth prince can take on a big job. In recent years, the fourth prince has experienced ups and downs in the court, handled some political affairs, and is proficient in political affairs. Moreover, the fourth prince is the queen.
The legitimate son, both emotionally and rationally, should be the crown prince."
"Oh? It's the Fourth Prince? The Ai family thought that Yun Xianghui wanted the Sixth Prince to take on this important task." Empress Dowager Gao suddenly said with a smile.
Yun Mocheng took a step forward, with a solemn expression on his face, and said: "Establishing the crown prince is a major matter, and I dare not speak nonsense. Although the Sixth Prince and I are the son-in-law relationship, the Sixth Prince does not know much about political affairs. As the prime minister, I naturally
Don't delay state affairs by abolishing public affairs for private reasons."
Empress Dowager Gao nodded, then withdrew her gaze and looked at the ministers below, "How can Yun Xianghe be worthy of being the pillar of the country? He is fair and selfless at all times. What do the other ministers mean? In fact, the Ai family wants to say, everyone
Don't worry about the Ai family because of the relationship between the fourth prince and the Gao family. As for the Queen's legitimate son, I have always been a virtuous person, so you can feel free to speak your mind."
As soon as these words came out, the people below immediately started talking.
Yun Mocheng, on the other hand, took a step back and glanced at the Queen Mother. He lowered his head again, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Royal Garden
A line of troops walked forward, and the man in front was a man in armor. He looked around and suddenly said to the people behind him: "You go to the front to patrol."
"Yes." The Imperial Guards behind took the order and continued to move forward.
Yunhong glanced around and walked towards the rockery next to him.
"Dad, what do you want from me?" Yun Hong looked at the person in front of him and whispered, still looking around.
Yun Mocheng frowned and said: "Now that the emperor is seriously ill, everything in the palace is up to you. Everything should be done according to plan."
Yun Hong nodded and said: "I know, by the way, I heard that the ministers just discussed with the Queen Mother in the Royal Study Room about the establishment of a crown prince. I wonder who the Queen Mother appointed as the crown prince?"
Glancing at Yun Hong, Yun Mocheng's frown deepened, "This matter is not important, you just need to complete what I told you." After saying that, he glanced ahead, "I have to go, now
There are many eyes and ears in the palace. If you stay here for too long, I might miss something." As he said this, he prepared to move forward.
Seeing this, Yun Hong felt anxious and stopped Yun Mocheng directly. A trace of hesitation flashed across his face.
"Is there anything else?" Yun Mocheng asked directly.
Yun Hong thought for a while and finally asked: "Dad, I heard that Yan'er disappeared. What happened? Has he been found now?"
Hearing these words, Yun Mocheng's face changed slightly, and a look of condensation flashed in his eyes, "I don't know about her. She should have been found."
Yun Hong sighed and looked at Yun Mocheng with a solemn expression, "Dad, Yan'er..."
"Okay, let's talk about these things later. Pay attention to the movements in the palace. I believe the fourth prince will return to Liangdu soon. Also, be careful of the second prince. He has been in the military camp for many years and is cautious. Don't let him
If I find any clues, I'll leave first." Yun Mocheng walked directly past him and walked forward without waiting for Yun Hong to speak.
Looking at the leaving figure, a trace of pain flashed across Yunhong's face. He clenched his fists. Dad, are he really not worried about Yan'er? If something happens to Yan'er, what should he do?
And now he can't get away and can't go to her at all. And the sixth prince seems to have never been seen, and he doesn't know what happened.
Yun Hong looked at the sky. There were thousands of clouds in the sky, changing at any time. He frowned. This was like the current situation in Liangdu. He took a deep breath and walked forward.
Night fell quietly, and Yun Yan stayed alone in the tent, watching the candlelight in the tent swaying with the night wind. She slowly raised her hand and fiddled with the wick with the piece of wood next to her. The corner of her mouth raised slightly, "Today's
It's really quiet at night.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly a dark shadow passed outside the tent. Yun Yan raised his brows and held the wood chip in his hand tightly. Here it comes!
A black shadow entered the tent, and he rushed directly to the table, took Yun Yan's hand, and whispered: "Let's leave quickly."
Yun Yan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looked at the black shadow and said jokingly: "When did the fourth prince like to dress like this? People who don't know think he is a flower picker, and the one he picked is his own sister."
Hearing this, the black figure frowned slightly. He pulled down the scarf on his face, looked at Yun Yan, his eyes flashed slightly, and he whispered: "As long as it is for you, no matter what appearance you let me dress up, I will
I'm willing to do it." As he said that, he glanced outside and said in a deep voice, "Quickly go, or you won't be able to leave."
"Do you think I will be grateful to you if you save me?" A sarcastic smile flashed across Yun Yan's lips.
Mu Qingyuan's eyes darkened slightly, "That is your business, but I must take you away. You are destined to be my king. Besides, you probably don't want to stay here any longer." As he said that, he put it on.
He grabbed Yun Yan and ran outside.
He was right, how could she be willing to stay here? Feeling Mu Qingyuan holding her wrist, Yun Yan frowned, shook off his hand, and followed him out.
Mu Qing saw the situation and did not force it, and continued to move forward.
Outside the camp, there was silence, not a single figure, only two figures running towards the front.
Glancing around, Yun Yan's eyes flashed with a solemn look. It was so quiet, so quiet that it was a bit weird.
"Aren't you afraid of Yan Lingxiao's ambush?" Yun Yan frowned and suddenly looked at Mu Qingyuan and said.
Mu Qingyuan frowned and smiled suddenly, "What if I say that I have never thought about this problem?" As he said that, he looked at Yun Yan and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Yun Yan was stunned, what did he mean by this? Did he want to catch her at all costs? She frowned and looked ahead, and said in a deep voice: "Your people should be around here, even if Yan Lingxiao comes.
, it can at least stop it for a while, let's go quickly." She stopped talking and walked forward.
Looking at the figure walking in front, Mu Qingyuan frowned. Since when did the dominance fall into her hands again? Moreover, he had a vague feeling that she seemed to know that he was coming to find her.
.No matter what, this time, he would not allow her to escape from his grasp. He stepped forward directly, followed closely by Yun Yan.
However, before taking a few steps forward, Yunyan suddenly stopped. She glanced around and said in a deep voice: "There are people, many people."
As soon as these words came out, Mu Qingyuan also stopped and looked around cautiously.
At this moment, a fire suddenly lit up in front, and a dozen men in black suddenly appeared. A man in snow clothes walked out, holding a folding fan in his hand. Under the light of the fire, you could vaguely see the calm look on his face.
With a smile, he paused, smiled at Mu Qingyuan and said, "Where are the Fourth Prince and my Queen going now?"
