Turning her head and glancing at Gao Yueli, Empress Dowager Gao smiled coldly, then looked at Qin Youzhi and continued: "Which prince is back?" An imperceptible color flashed in her eyes.
The original haze in the hall due to the death of Imperial Physician Chen dissipated with the return of the prince, and Empress Dowager Gao seemed to have no time to pursue the matter of Imperial Physician Chen. Several guards neatly carried the body of Imperial Physician Chen away.
After going out, several other maids hurriedly came forward to clean up and wipe away the blood stains.
At this time, a shadow appeared outside the palace, and then a man in armor walked in. His brows were deeply furrowed and his expression was anxious.
Looking at the person coming, Queen Mother Gao's cloudy eyes moved slightly. Gao Yueli's heart was completely relieved. She smiled proudly, "Very good, it seems that things are indeed going as she thought."
Mu Qingyuan walked to the middle, knelt directly on the ground, and said respectfully: "My grandson pays his respects to the emperor's grandmother. He came back late. Please forgive me for being late." He frowned and looked up at the person sitting beside the couch.
The purple figure's eyes wandered to the person lying on the couch. He opened his mouth and said with emotion, "Grandmother, Father, he..."
Empress Dowager Gao came back to her senses. She looked at Mu Qingyuan, nodded, and said: "Get up, just come back. You don't need to go to the marriage alliance with Nanyao Kingdom to escort Princess Zhaoyang at the moment. The Ai family will
Someone else was sent there. As for your father..." She glanced at Mu Yangtian on the couch with a stern expression, "He still shows no sign of waking up."
Below, Mu Qingyuan stood up and looked at Mu Yangtian on the couch. His face was gray and faintly black. His eyebrows were furrowed. He glanced at Gao Yueli next to him. She was also looking at him.
There was a sinister smile in her eyes.
Mu Qingyuan shifted his gaze, looked at Empress Dowager Gao, and said, "Grandma, please take care of yourself. Father, he will be fine."
After hearing these words, Queen Mother Gao's dry lips twitched slightly, she looked at Mu Qingyuan and said, "The Ai family naturally knows that you have always been sensible. Now that you are back, the Ai family is relieved." At this point, she said
His expression changed, and his tone suddenly turned cold, "But none of your brothers can make the Ai family worry. Just like this Sixth Prince, your father was so ill that he didn't even come over. It's really chilling. What are you doing?
Brother, you should support him, so as not to be criticized for saying that we in the royal family do not know etiquette."
Seeing the displeasure on Empress Dowager Gao's face, Mu Qingyuan's heart moved slightly, and suddenly he knelt on the ground, "My grandson wants to apologize to the imperial grandmother."
"Yuan'er..." Gao Yueli looked at Mu Qingyuan in surprise, what was he doing?! What kind of crime could Duan Duan plead for? She couldn't help but look at Empress Dowager Gao beside her, not knowing what the Empress Dowager would think.
Originally, because of the death of Imperial Physician Chen, the imperial physicians in the palace were a little uneasy. Now that Mu Qingyuan suddenly mentioned asking for forgiveness, they couldn't help but remember that they had not diagnosed the emperor's illness. This was also a sin. What if the Queen Mother was not happy?
They couldn't bear it when they were questioned.
Empress Dowager Gao raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Mu Qingyuan below, her eyes turning slightly. After a while, she said calmly: "What are you doing, Fourth Prince? What are you guilty of?"
Mu Qingyuan lowered his head, his expression indescribably solemn, and he whispered: "I'm afraid Grandma Huang will never see your sixth brother again."
After hearing these words, Queen Mother Gao narrowed her eyes, and a hint of coldness appeared on her withered face. Looking at Mu Qingyuan's respectful and awe-inspiring look, she asked directly: "What do you mean by this?" I don't know if it was because of her.
Because her voice was lowered, there was a coldness in her tone.
Raising his head, Mu Qingyuan looked at Empress Dowager Gao, and said calmly: "Sixth brother fell off the cliff. My grandson saw it with his own eyes. I only blame him for not being able to save him."
Fell off the cliff?! Empress Dowager Gao was stunned, glanced at Mu Qingyuan suspiciously, and whispered, "What's going on?"
Gao Yueli looked at Mu Qingyuan in surprise. Is Mu Jingnan dead? She looked happy. Although she didn't know what was going on, it was better this way. It saved her a lot of effort. She pursed her lips slightly and said,
His face returned to calmness, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Everyone below looked at Mu Qingyuan in surprise. How could the Sixth Prince fall off the cliff? At this time, outside the palace, a man in black brocade robe walked in, with a hint of coldness on his resolute face.
Colorful, a pair of sharp eyes stared at the man in armor in front of him.
At this time, Qin Youzhi seemed to feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere. He glanced at Empress Dowager Gao, and then waved to the doctors below. The doctors immediately understood and followed him out.
Soon only Empress Dowager Gao, the Queen, Mu Qingyuan, and Mu Kexiang were standing at the door of the inner hall.
Mu Qingyuan raised his head, with a sad look on his face, "Before, the sixth princess disappeared, and the sixth brother was looking for her. The two of them had some quarrels for some unknown reason. In the end, the sixth princess accidentally fell off the cliff, and the sixth brother, he wanted to save her.
The sixth princess jumped down after her." At this point, he said in a deep voice, "It's my grandson's fault. When I rushed over, I didn't save my sixth brother, so I asked the imperial grandmother to punish him!"
Did they fall off the cliff together? Empress Dowager Gao frowned, a cold and stern look flashed in her eyes, her cold gaze fell directly on Mu Qingyuan, she said coldly: "Did you fail to rescue him, or is it you?
How about pushing him down personally?"
After hearing this, Mu Qingyuan's expression changed, and he looked at Empress Dowager Gao in surprise. His eyes turned slightly. What did she mean? He frowned, was she doubting him? But, didn't she also want Mu Jing to
Is Nan dead? Now that he is dead, I am afraid that she is the happiest person.
Gao Yueli looked at Empress Dowager Gao's questioning look, and couldn't help feeling unhappy. She walked up to Empress Dowager Gao and said with a smile: "Aunt, what are you talking about? How could Yuan'er harm the Sixth Prince? I'm afraid
It was because Yun Yan was jealous of the many women outside the Sixth Prince that he had a quarrel with the Sixth Prince. In the end, the two of them fell off the cliff together." When she said this, a trace of contempt appeared on her face, "This Yun Yan is really good too.
, As a princess, you should abide by the rules of womanhood. You can be unscrupulous on weekdays, but now you have brought trouble to the Sixth Prince, and you really deserve to die."
As soon as he said these words, Mu Qingyuan's eyes suddenly fell on Gao Yueli. A sharp light in his eyes suddenly pierced Gao Yueli, and there was a dark surge in his eyes, as if it would burst out at any time.
Gao Yueli's heart skipped a beat when she saw this look. Just because the look was so cruel and ruthless, she opened her mouth. Is this still her son? When did her son dare to look at her with such a look?
He couldn't help but look away.
At this time, Mu Kexiang came up from behind. He saluted Empress Dowager Gao and said, "I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, Empress."
Hearing this voice, Empress Dowager Gao came back to her senses. Her face was still solemn. She glanced at Mu Kexiang and said lightly: "Forgive me."
Mu Kexiang stood up, glanced at Mu Qingyuan, and said nothing.
Seeing Mu Kexiang coming, Gao Yueli's attention shifted. She glanced at Mu Kexiang and said with a sneer: "The second prince has been really diligent in coming these past two days. Did he come here specially to wait for the emperor to wake up?
I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you again, because your father doesn't wake up, and you don't have a chance."
Mu Kexiang raised his head with an indifferent expression. He did not look at Gao Yueli, but looked at Mu Qingyuan and said: "I heard the fourth prince just said that the sixth prince and the sixth princess fell off the cliff together, and they were still pulling. This is true.
This makes me curious. As far as I know, the Sixth Prince and the Sixth Princess have a very good relationship. They have never had any trouble with each other. How could they quarrel by the cliff, let alone fall off the cliff together?"
The waves in Mu Qingyuan's eyes also calmed down. He looked at Mu Kexiang, who was staring at him closely. He frowned and then said loudly: "So, second brother doesn't believe what I say?
"
"I really don't believe it!" Mu Kexiang's deep eyes flashed with a trace of ridicule, and he said quarrelsomely, "And you seem to care about whether others believe in you." The implication is that this is a guilty conscience?
"Second brother, you should know that if I harmed my sixth brother, how could I tell him about him falling off the cliff?" Mu Qingyuan lowered his voice and suppressed the anger hidden in his heart.
Mu Kexiang's resolute face remained calm, and he said calmly: "How do I know this? You know the truth better than anyone else."
As soon as he said this, seeing the disdain in Mu Kexiang's eyes, the fire in Mu Qingyuan's heart suddenly rose. He dared to talk to him like this. His eyes widened and he took a step forward, preparing to speak again.
"Okay, stop arguing!" Empress Dowager Gao said loudly. She glanced at the two of them and said coldly, "Since the Four Kings said that the Six Kings fell off the cliff, we will immediately send people to look for them on the other side of the cliff. Second,
Your Majesty, I will leave this matter to you."
Mu Kexiang glanced at Mu Qingyuan, then took the order and said: "I obey the order."
Send Mu Kexiang to find Mu Jingnan? Gao Yueli glanced at Empress Dowager Gao, and then she smiled in her heart, that's fine, she sent Mu Kexiang away, the palace is completely their world, if the Empress Dowager takes this step
It's quite wonderful. It seems that she is really thinking about Yuan'er.
Mu Qingyuan glanced at Mu Kexiang, and then said to Empress Dowager Gao: "Royal Grandmother, let me go. I know the terrain there well, and it will be more convenient for me to find it. I am back this time.
Just look at my father. Now that my father is seriously ill, I naturally want to bring my sixth brother back."
After hearing this, Empress Dowager Gao turned her head and looked at Mu Qingyuan. There was no hint of happiness or anger in her expression. She just said lightly: "Then what the four kings mean is that the second king is staying in Liangdu and you are looking for someone? You can't find him.
Won't you come? He is indeed a good grandson of the Ai family." As she said this, she smiled with satisfaction and looked forward, but there was a hint of haze in her eyes.
Mu Qingyuan was stunned and looked at Empress Dowager Gao in surprise. He was just talking politely. What did she mean? Did she really want him to go find Mu Jingnan?
