After bidding farewell to Murong Yichen and others, Yun Yan took Qiu Yuan and others towards the direction of Liangdu.
"Miss, I thought I heard Mr. Murong talking about curing your illness just now..." Bishui said aside.
Yun Yan frowned slightly, "Really? Why didn't I hear it?"
Didn't you hear? Bishui looked at Yunyan in confusion.
Mu Zhaoyang rolled his eyes at Bishui. She stepped forward and took Yun Yan's arm and said, "Sixth sister-in-law, shall we go back to Liangdu directly?"
"If the information I got is good, tomorrow will be the day Mu Qingyuan ascends the throne." Qiu Yuan interjected.
Ascension to the throne?! Yun Yan frowned. Murong Yichen also told her about this matter. However, after Mu Yangtian died, Mu Qingyuan, as the legitimate son of the queen, would naturally be sought after by all officials, and there was also Empress Dowager Gao.
With help, it was understandable that he would become the crown prince. It’s just...
"Do you have any news about Mu Jingnan?" Yun Yan thought for a while and said to Qiu Yuan.
Qiu Yuan shook her head, "No, Liangdu only said that you and the Sixth Prince had a quarrel and fell off a cliff, and your life or death is uncertain. And this news was brought back by the Fourth Prince."
Hearing these words, Yun Yan sneered, "What a Mu Qingyuan, now everyone in the world only thinks that Mu Jingnan is an unruly playboy and deserves to die. However, her brows are furrowed. Tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony, and she is afraid that she will not be able to return to Liang in time.
All. As for Mu Jingnan, she didn't believe that he would be unprepared. But there was not only Mu Qingyuan in Liangdu, but also Yun Mocheng, Liu Yaoguang... and there was another person - Yan Lingxiao
!
"Qiu Yuan, where is Yan Lingxiao?" Yun Yan looked forward with deep eyes, her expression indescribably stern. The situation in Liangdu was urgent now, and she didn't believe that he would do nothing.
Qiu Yuan's expression also darkened. She looked at Yun Yan and lowered her voice and said: "I'm sorry, miss. Originally, I thought that you had just come back and I would wait a few days to tell you about this matter. In fact, I have already obtained the information from my side.
According to the news, Yan Lingxiao has deployed 200,000 troops on the border between Dongyue Kingdom and Nanyao Kingdom to attack Dongyue Kingdom. The reason is that Dongyue Kingdom regretted their marriage and did not send Princess Zhaoyang to Nanyao Kingdom." As she said this, she bowed her head.
Head, the situation in Liangdu was already tense, and now that Yan Lingxiao is causing trouble, the young lady is afraid that she will suffer again.
"It seems that he finally couldn't hold it in anymore, haha, that's good." Yun Yan had a smile on his lips, with a calm expression, as if he wasn't surprised by this.
Hearing this, Mu Zhaoyang's expression changed, and then he said guiltily: "I'm sorry, it's all because of me. It was me who harmed Dongyue."
Yun Yan looked at Mu Zhaoyang, shook his head and said: "It's not because of you. If it is really investigated, your marriage is all caused by me, and I can't forgive you. Don't think too much, Yan Lingxiao can't do it
I just need an excuse, it’s not about regretting the marriage, it could be something else, in short, all this was planned by him."
"Sixth sister-in-law..." Mu Zhaoyang looked at Yun Yan in surprise.
Bishui stepped forward and said comfortingly: "Princess, don't think too much."
On the side, Qiu Yuan pulled Mu Zhaoyang and said with a smile: "Although it's good that you want to take responsibility, it's really not because of you this time."
Looking at Qiu Yuan, Mu Zhaoyang looked shocked. He didn't expect that she would come to comfort him. She smiled and was moved to tears. Although the two had often quarreled before, at this moment, their hearts were tightly together.
.
"Miss, why don't we rush to Liangdu quickly? I've left a few horses in the village not far ahead." Bishui looked at Yun Yan and said suddenly, but after thinking about it, she shook her head, "No, miss
Since you are not in good health, we might as well take a carriage."
Yun Yan frowned slightly, and her hand unconsciously fell to her abdomen, but soon she let it go, and she whispered: "Well, just take the carriage, Mu Jingnan will take care of it over in Liangdu, I don't have to worry."
With that said, she walked directly forward.
Behind, Bishui glanced at Qiu Yuan, who was also looking at her. Both of them looked puzzled. They thought the young lady would refuse. She was so worried about the Sixth Prince, but she still agreed to ride in the carriage. This was completely unlike her.
Could it be that the young lady is feeling unwell now? The two of them were anxious and quickly chased the white figure in front of them.
Beside the cliff, the three figures did not leave for a long time, and kept looking into the distance until the white figures disappeared.
Xia Ge withdrew her gaze and looked at Murong Yichen who was standing aside, "Brother likes Miss?"
"Huh?" Murong Yichen was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and looked at Xia Ge's probing eyes. He looked a little unnatural, but he soon calmed down, looked ahead, and said calmly, "A woman like her,
Who wouldn't like it?"
Shaking his head slightly, Xia Ge sighed and said: "I wish I could have met you before we were married. If you could have known Miss earlier, you might have had a chance. It's not right, like Leng Xue, who has known Miss for many years, but in the end she didn't even know what he meant.
I often wonder how this sixth prince managed to make the young lady fall in love with him so completely."
Murong Yichen smiled softly, "I once heard someone say that falling in love with someone may just take one glance, and it will be engraved in my heart from then on. I used to doubt it, but now, I firmly believe it."
Xia Ge looked at Murong Yichen in surprise, looking at the brilliant look on his lips, she smiled suddenly, he must be talking about herself.
"Brother, you just said that you can detoxify the poison from Miss. Is that true?"
Murong Yichen stared into the distance, shook his head and said, "I can't, but if she goes back with me, maybe there will be a way."

Night, Xiangtian Palace
In the study, the room was dimly lit. Mu Qingyuan was sitting on the chair. On the chair below, Hui'er was sitting upright, talking to Mu Qingyuan.
"Qing'er is a very gentle woman. Unfortunately, because of the queen's selfishness, she was robbed of her child. She suffered the separation of her flesh and blood, and finally died in vain in the palace. It's a pity that she had no fight with the world, but she lived a life
He was involved in the harem fight." Huier said, wiping her tears with a sad expression.
Mu Qingyuan clenched his fists as he listened, and the hatred in his eyes seemed to burst out.
Wiping her tears, Hui'er looked at Mu Qingyuan and sighed: "I know, I shouldn't say these things. After all, the Queen has raised you and has cared for you very much over the years. However, I and Qing'er are good sisters.
I really can’t bear to keep hiding it.”
With a cold snort, Mu Qingyuan looked at Hui'er and said with a sneer: "You are so caring?! Ha, do you know what I have gone through in these years? I never had a day off when I was young. I was always studying hard and practicing martial arts. Ha—
-Now that I think about it, it’s no wonder that she never cared about this palace. Originally, this palace was just a tool for her to maintain her power.”
"Your Highness——" Hui'er exclaimed.
Mu Qingyuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Do you know how much I want to kill her now, but I can't... I still need to rely on her to ascend to the throne!"
"Your Highness..." Hui'er was startled and shouted again, but her heart was shocked and she looked slightly anxious.
Mu Qingyuan stood up, looked at Hui'er, sighed and said: "Auntie, don't worry, this palace will protect you, and we will repay your kindness to the emperor. During this time, you can rest in our palace and wait for us.
Let’s settle things in the palace and help you arrange a good place to go.”
"I thank you, Your Highness. All I want is to seek justice for my good sisters." Hui'er stood up and said to Mu Qingyuan.
Nodding, Mu Qingyuan closed his eyes slightly, "About my mother, I can only know a little about my mother from my aunt, but I am missing too much, and I will never be able to get that mother's warmth."
"My condolences, Your Highness." Hui'er said with her head lowered.
"One day, I will get back everything she owes me." Mu Qingyuan clenched his hands tightly, making a sound of joints.
Huier raised her head and looked at the man above her. An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, just for a moment.
Three days have passed, and the coronation ceremony of the new emperor of the East Vietnam Kingdom has begun.
Main hall of Zhengqian Palace
The civil and military officials of the court stood respectfully below, and in front of the dragon chair, Mu Qingyuan, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a white suit outside, was looking at the people below with his head held high. The Empress Dowager sat beside the dragon chair, rushing
Xiao Chenzi nodded, indicating that he could announce the decree.
Xiao Chenzi held the imperial edict in his hand. He turned his head and glanced at Mu Qingyuan, then at the ministers below. He glanced outside the hall from time to time, as if he was hesitating about something.
"What's wrong?" Queen Mother Gao glanced at Xiao Chenzi.
Xiao Chenzi lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "To inform the Empress Dowager, the Second Prince has not arrived."
Mu Qingyuan frowned, with a look of displeasure on his face. He was the one who ascended the throne today, but Mu Kexiang dared not come. Humph, it seems that he wanted to accuse himself, so don't blame him.
Empress Dowager Gao looked calm and said: "Nothing, don't pay attention to him, just declare the decree."
Xiao Chenzi's hand shook unconsciously and he slowly unfolded the imperial edict in his hand.
"Emperor Shengguang has passed away, and the country cannot be without an emperor for a day. The prince is humble and knows etiquette, and knows morality and filial piety. Following the empress dowager's kind words, he is hereby established as the new emperor." Xiao Chenzi read loudly.
As soon as these words came out, hundreds of officials paid homage to him.
"Long live my emperor..." The whole hall was full of kneeling officials. Because the late emperor had just passed away, the officials were all dressed in plain clothes, and the whole hall was completely white.
Xiao Chenzi stepped aside and frowned unconsciously. The emperor that the late emperor preferred was not the fourth prince at all, but... now that the sixth prince is gone, hey, all the hard work of the late emperor was in vain.
Listening to the sounds of worship, Mu Qingyuan felt a surge of blood in his chest. Finally, the throne was his. His eyes were fixed on the dragon throne that countless people dreamed of sitting on, and he slowly walked step by step.
He walked slowly towards the dragon chair, and slowly stretched out his hand, wanting to touch it. Finally, this seat was his. From then on, he could be proud of the world. He walked to the dragon chair, holding his head high.
Chest, ready to sit down.
At this moment, several figures suddenly appeared outside the palace, and a cold and stern voice came, "Mu Qingyuan cannot be emperor! I do not agree!"
