On the official road, a carriage was moving forward. The driver was a man in black, with a look of solemnity on his eyebrows, making people afraid to approach.
In the carriage, Yun Yan was sitting in the center. She looked at the letter that had just been sent to her, with a hint of joy in her expression.
"Miss, what's going on over there in Liangdu?" Qiu Yuan looked at Yun Yan's face and saw that she didn't frown, so she couldn't help but ask.
Yun Yan handed the letter in her hand to Qiu Yuan. Looking at the concerned expressions of the others, she couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, Jingnan has returned to the palace."
"It's great that the Sixth Prince is fine." Bishui followed.
Mu Zhaoyang also looked relieved, took Yun Yan's hand, and said with a smile: "I am probably the happiest one now, Sixth Sister-in-law, Sixth Sister-in-law and Sixth Brother are finally reunited."
"It also said that the Sixth Prince has ascended to the position of Crown Prince, so isn't our lady the Crown Princess?" Qiu Yuan looked at the letter and said excitedly to Yun Yan.
Hearing this, Bishui smiled at Yun Yan and said, "My slave, please pay your respects to the Crown Princess."
Shaking his head slightly, the smile on Yun Yan's face gradually dissipated, replaced by deep worry.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?" Bishui and Qiuyuan were both confused and asked quickly.
On the side, Mu Zhaoyang interjected: "Sister-in-law Six should be worried about Brother Six."
"Isn't the Sixth Prince okay?" Bishui looked at Mu Zhaoyang in surprise. On the side, the joy on Qiu Yuan's face gradually disappeared, as if she was thinking about something.
Mu Zhaoyang shook his head and said: "It's gratifying that Sixth Brother has ascended to the throne of the Crown Prince, but now that Nanyao Kingdom is attacking our Dongyue Kingdom, Sixth Brother has just ascended the throne, so he may be the first to bear the brunt. And Sixth Brother has never been a cowardly person. He
He will definitely lead the army to go on an expedition. Firstly, he will establish meritorious deeds and secure the world. Secondly, he will definitely not let his subjects be invaded by foreign enemies." As she said that, she looked at Yun Yan, "Sister-in-law Six, don't worry, Brother Six is awesome.
It's very good. In the past, the fourth brother who thought he was smart could not do it, and the sixth brother can do it. This time, he will be fine."
Hearing this, Yunyan suddenly smiled and looked outside the carriage, "You have learned how to comfort people. Of course I know Jingnan's ability, but..."
"It's just that he is your husband, so you can't help but worry, right?" Bishui said jokingly.
As soon as these words came out, even Mu Zhaoyang and Qiu Yuan started laughing.
Yunyan glared at Bishui, smiled and said, "You girl, have you learned how to bully me now?" As she said that, she looked outside, a trace of worry flashed between her eyebrows, "I'm afraid there are still two days before we can catch up.
When I go to Liangdu, I hope to see him before he leaves..." As she spoke, she unconsciously put her hand on her abdomen.
Qiu Yuan thought that Yun Yan thought the carriage was too slow, so she quickly said: "Miss, after two days of traveling, your face is so pale. You can't rush to Liang in a hurry."
Yun Yan retracted her hand, picked up another letter on the side, looked at the handwriting on it, her eyes darkened, "Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry, and there is no need to rush things in Liangdu. Leng Xue's letter told me
There is too much stuff, I have to digest it well."
Night is coming soon. There is no wind in the summer night. The palace is quiet. The moonlight shines coolly on the ground. Above the eaves, a man in black looks into the distance with a slight frown.
Suddenly, Mu Jingnan slowly stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to catch the moonlight. Even as a prince, he was still dressed in ordinary clothes. He did not feel that it was so gratifying to ascend the throne of the prince and become the heir apparent.
Without her by my side, everything seems so pale.
"You are now the crown prince and will be enthroned as the emperor soon, but judging from your appearance, you don't seem to be happy. With your ability, you don't seem like someone who would worry about the border war." A lonely voice.
Suddenly came from behind, followed by a black shadow walking out.
"That's not what I wanted from beginning to end." Mu Jingnan withdrew his hand and turned his head to look at the man who suddenly appeared next to him with a calm expression, "I thought you wouldn't show up in the palace. Are you here to see the emperor's aunt?
"
Ji Lengxue's eyebrows moved slightly and she looked away, "No!"
Regarding Ji Lengxue's strangeness, Mu Jingnan didn't want to go into details. He looked ahead and whispered, "Do you have any news about her?"
Turning her head and glancing at Mu Jingnan, Ji Lengxue followed his gaze and saw the endless night ahead. Due to the death of the emperor, the entire city of Liangdu was also completely silent, without any color at all.
"She is fine. I have sent her a message to tell her what happened in Liangdu. As for her whereabouts, she has not revealed it yet, probably because she doesn't want Yan Lingxiao and the others to find out. But I think she will return to Liangdu.
All." As she said that, Ji Lengxue looked at Mu Jingnan again, and a faint light flashed in his sharp eyes, just for a moment.
Mu Jingnan's originally relaxed mood suddenly became tense. He frowned and said, "Going back to Liangdu?" She came back, but he was about to leave again. Although they had been separated for less than a month, he felt as if they had already separated.
We haven’t seen each other in many years, and I’m afraid it will be difficult to meet them this time. Moreover, the situation in Liangdu...
"You want to prevent her from returning to Liangdu? But according to her temperament, who can control her? It is even more dangerous to let her go to the battlefield with you. If Yan Lingxiao knows that she is not dead, I am afraid that she will appear again to follow her.
It’s the same situation again. Her body... not to mention, as long as I’m here, I won’t let anyone hurt her at all!” Ji Lengxue glanced at Mu Jingnan and said solemnly.
Hearing these words, a hint of bitterness appeared on Mu Jingnan's lips. He took a deep breath and said, "Thank you!" Unexpectedly, in the end, he would have to leave her safety to others. After all, he could not always stay with her.
I don’t know what happened to the poison in her body...
As soon as these words came out, Ji Lengxue suddenly turned around and walked forward with her back to Mu Jingnan, "I'm just fulfilling my promise to her. Protecting her is what I should do. Since you are willing to do it for her
When I gave up her life and death, I already recognized you." After saying this, he jumped and flew towards the distance.
Approval? Mu Jingnan looked forward, his mouth slightly twitching. When did he, Mu Jingnan, need other people's approval? But now, he needs to think about the recent events, Yan'er, Dongyue, he can't let go of either side.
.
The Cold Palace is the bleakest place in the entire harem. It is where the abandoned concubines of the past dynasties have lived. It is located in a remote place. Although it is not in ruins, there are very few people cleaning it. There are spiders everywhere in the palace.
The stains on the net and quilt have solidified.
‘Bang bang bang—’ The sound of banging on the door came from inside a room, accompanied by a shrill female voice, “Let me out, let me out!”
"I am a queen, I am a queen, how dare you lock me up like this! I am going to kill you!" Gao Yueli shouted while banging on the door.
But no one answered her at all. There were only a few people in the Leng Palace, and Gao Yueli was imprisoned under the order of the Queen Mother herself, so no one dared to pay attention to her.
She had stayed like this for a day and a night. Gao Yueli's originally rosy face turned pale and bloodless due to hunger, fatigue, and shouting. She was about to collapse after shouting and fussing for a long time. She slowly slid down from the door. She
She was so hungry that she turned her head and looked at the leftovers on the table. She felt as if she had discovered a delicacy and hurriedly crawled over. She grabbed a steamed bun and ate it. Perhaps because she was in a hurry, she suddenly choked.
.
Gao Yueli was choked and panicked. She hurriedly picked up the water glass on the table and poured water. However, she drank so fast that she choked, "Ahem..."
Gao Yueli finally swallowed the food in her throat, but at this moment, the door to the room suddenly opened. She took a breath and shouted immediately: "Has someone finally come to see me? Bring me quickly.
Get out of the palace!" As she said this, she stood up directly, but when she looked at the person coming, she was stunned, why was it him!
"Look at the queen mother, her life here is not satisfactory!" Mu Qingyuan glanced at the food on the table, and then looked at Gao Yueli. At this moment, she didn't have any of the dignity of the queen in the past. She was unkempt and embarrassed, just like
What's the difference between the old ladies in this harem?!
Her expression changed slightly, and a smile immediately appeared on Gao Yueli's face. She stepped forward, took Mu Qingyuan's hand, and said with a smile: "Yuan'er, are you here to pick up your mother? I really do not love you in vain.
Come on, let's go back quickly!" She said as she prepared to walk out.
Mu Qingyuan pulled Gao Yueli's hand, pushed her down to the table, and said indifferently with a cold face: "You killed my mother, and you still expect me to save you. What a dream."
!”
Gao Yueli fell down at the table. She glared at Mu Qingyuan, "Don't forget, how could you have had so many years of glory and wealth without me? Now that you are so ungrateful, aren't you afraid of being punished by God?"
"God's punishment? If we say that the person who deserves to be punished by heaven should be you, the Queen Mother!" Mu Qingyuan sneered, "You killed your mother and kidnapped your son, and mutilated your concubines. Have you not done enough such things in the past few years? Otherwise, why would the Queen Mother do so?
Lock you up here! You deserve it!"
Hearing this, Gao Yueli suddenly laughed wildly, "It's your own fault?!" She slowly got up and looked at Mu Qingyuan coldly, "How dares a pariah son to act wild in front of me?! Without me,
Do you think you can come to this palace to enjoy the glory and wealth? Prince, prince? Without me, you might have starved to death outside the palace. It was me who gave you a new life! Tell you, I
Even if you die, you can’t even hope to live!”
"What did you say?!" Mu Qingyuan glared at Gao Yueli, "Didn't you say that the king's mother is from the palace?"
"Palace man? Oh, that was just to frighten the Queen Mother and the people in the palace. You are just a boy that I bought randomly from outside." Gao Yueli looked at Mu Qingyuan with disdain and said, she said to
She took a few steps forward and walked to him with a arrogant expression, "Remember, without me, you wouldn't be here. Take me out immediately!"
Mu Qingyuan clenched his hands and looked at the domineering woman in front of him. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and pinched Gao Yueli's neck with a fierce look, "Let you go out and let more people know that I am not a prince? Don't even think about it!"
