In danger, he traveled through time to save her, and the black-bellied prince doted on her

Mu Jinan smiled mischievously and complimented him:

"Yuhe humiliated King Rui. Your Majesty does not like Yuhe and is unwilling to make peace with them. However, the gods did appear in my dreams, and I am not lying."

If she admitted that she lied, she would be guilty of deceiving the king. She is not that stupid.

She gradually realized that the emperor was suspicious and became more vigilant.

Emperor Ming: "What's the matter today?"

Mu Jinan cleared his throat twice and said softly:

"Your Majesty, I am a woman, I can't read, I don't understand the principles, but I understand human nature. If I said something wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Ming: "Speak."

Mu Jinan spoke slowly, looking at Emperor Ming's expression as he spoke, and said carefully:

"The Imperial Concubine returned to her parents' home out of jealousy because she loves His Majesty and cherishes His Majesty."

"If the Imperial Concubine didn't care about you, she would just pretend to be deaf and dumb and enjoy her wealth and glory. Why would she be upset?"

Emperor Ming showed a hint of gentle trance on his face. Mu Jinan pursed his lips slightly, feeling relieved, and continued:

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful. It is natural for the Imperial Concubine to admire and want to have him all to herself. This is also the charm of Your Majesty. How can you blame the Imperial Concubine for being greedy for Your Majesty?"

The senior eunuch beside him nodded to Emperor Ming to confirm that it was indeed the case.

Emperor Ming smiled confidently and nodded slightly. Mu Jinan wiped the sweat off his palms, relaxed his eyelids, and continued:

"When the queen was in the Prince of Qi's mansion, the Prince of Qi had several concubines, but she never got angry and went back to her parents' home. In her heart, there was no Prince of Qi anymore."

Emperor Ming turned his back and said coldly: "What about the King of Qi?"

Mu Jinan was terrified. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at Emperor Ming's back, saying:

"The Prince of Qi and Princess Lu are in harmony, a perfect match made in heaven, so there will be no trouble. If they are killed or imprisoned, it will only confirm this matter and cause people to criticize them."

Emperor Ming's shoulders sank, his back relaxed a little, Mu Jinan's eyes turned, and he continued:

"The younger sister of Qi Wangfei Lu is married to Wang Huaiyu of Langya Wang family. Wang Huaiyu's mother is Cui of Qinghe."

"The Li family has become one with the Lu family, the Wang family, and the Cui family. This was also the wish of the Holy Ancestor to expand the Li family name."

Emperor Ming turned around and suddenly asked: "Does Concubine Shen really love me?"

Mu Jinan thought in his heart that he was still in love.

Then she said: "Women know women's thoughts. The Imperial Concubine truly loves Your Majesty."

Suddenly, Emperor Ming looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, hahaha"

He stroked his beard, his eyes filled with stars.

Gao Neiguan felt relieved and supported Emperor Ming and said:

"Your Majesty, I saw that the Imperial Concubine had lost a lot of weight yesterday. I think she missed you so much after being apart for a few days that she had no appetite. Your Majesty, please let her out as soon as possible."

Emperor Ming waved his sleeves and said loudly: "Okay, let the King of Qi go back to his palace to accompany his princess. The imperial concubine has been released from house arrest. Prime Minister Lin has not slept all night, so let him go back."

The high eunuch said: "Yes, Your Majesty"

Emperor Ming said with a smile: "Mrs. Mu is a woman of great talent and wisdom. She has made meritorious contributions in giving advice and giving remonstrances. I will reward her with 100 taels of gold and 100 pieces of silk."

Mu Jinan bowed her head and said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."

This money can be used to help orphans.

Lin Xiuyuan saw Mu Jinan walk out of the hall. The two did not talk. The high eunuch told Lin Xiuyuan:

"Minister Lin, you and I are no longer the young men we used to be. Let's go back home and recuperate."

Lin Xiuyuan smiled slightly, nodded, stood up and left. People will be afraid when facing real death.

He promised Mu Jinan that he would summon An Xuan to Chang'an as soon as possible.

Mu Jinan met the released Prince of Qi Li Che and didn't want to waste any more words with him.

But he also felt that if he persisted in his wrongdoing, it would be even more difficult for him to deal with Li Heng, because Li Heng would only hide behind others and it would be difficult to find any evidence against him, so he said bluntly:

"Your Highness Prince Qi, you are my uncle. Jin'an has something to remind you."

"You were originally living a peaceful life, but you were instigated by others to go against the prince. Others are reaping the benefits. Why do you have to be a knife in the hands of others?"

Li Che's clear eyes showed a hint of doubt, and he staggered back two steps in disbelief:

"You mean Prince Rui, my brother Heng?"

Mu Jinan sneered, then bowed respectfully. His deep eyes met Li Che's, and he smiled meaningfully:

"It's hard to tell whether I'm your brother or not."

"After so many years of separation, he has suffered so much pain and humiliation. No one knows what's in his heart. You already have a marriage with the Lu family, which will allow you to have children and withdraw from the struggle for imperial power."

"A harmonious family brings a hundred blessings, children and grandchildren surround the knees and the house is full of flowers, the mountains and rivers are vast, and the years are endless, which is also a great blessing in life"

Li Che stood there in a daze, the summer breeze brushing his face gently. He looked up at the sky, his eyes were a little bitter, and his heart was filled with sorrow.

He loves his wife so much, but it seems like he doesn't love her that much. He is a coward.

He vaguely recalled the day when Shen Yuyuan begged him with tears in her eyes:

"Your Majesty asked me to be a female Taoist priest. Your Majesty, can you help Yu Yuan?"

"I don't want to enter the palace. I love you. How can you tolerate your wife being taken away by others? Ah...Prince...Can you think of a solution?...Prince"

Li Che shook his head helplessly and closed his eyes tightly.

Shen Yuyuan said reluctantly and resentfully:

"My lord, after today's farewell, I can no longer call you my husband. Yu Yuan bids farewell to my lord."

His wife was taken away by his father, and he was filled with hatred, but today, facing life and death, he lowered his head.

Perhaps he did not have the destiny to be an emperor, otherwise his mother would have planned for him, and when his three siblings died, he would have become the crown prince.

He had already given up fighting for the crown prince position, but Lin Xiang and Li Heng often instigated him.

Li Che looked back at the magnificent palace and cried in his heart:

"Yuyuan, my beloved wife, my princess, I wish you well."

He truly said goodbye to Shen Yuyuan in his heart. His steps were heavy, then light. After returning to the palace, he learned that Princess Lu Zhifu was pregnant. He was filled with mixed feelings of sadness and joy.

Mu Jinan walked in the palace, thinking to himself: "When the emperor is angry, millions of people will die. Under the imperial power, who would not be afraid? But who would not be moved?"

Mu Jinan was not completely sure, and a few words could not change anyone.

But as long as he is not used as a sharp blade by Li Heng to stab himself, and there is one less enemy, then his words will not be wasted.

Mu Jinan breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's hard for women, and it's even harder for women in feudal dynasties! Concubine Shen, how innocent is she? She was summoned to the palace by the emperor's imperial decree."

"Her biggest problem is that she doesn't know how to persuade Emperor Ming, and she doesn't know how to restrain her own people, allowing them to run rampant and tyrannical."

Mu Jinan adjusted his official hat to block the sunlight from above:

"I should go to the Ministry of War in a couple of days. I vaguely remember that gunpowder has been gradually used in military affairs in this era. I wonder how powerful the weapons are."

After a busy day in Chaoying Palace, she was still the last one to leave the palace.

Seeing that Meiluo was nowhere to be seen outside the palace gate, she hurriedly got on the carriage. Inside the carriage was the hairpin that Meiluo had worn when she went out that morning, and a letter:

"If you want to see the maid, go to the ruined temple three miles west of the city. Only one person can come. If you report to the authorities, she will be killed for sure."

Mu Jinan's pink face showed a bit of viciousness, his eyes were as dark as ink, he punched the carriage, gnashed his teeth and said:

"No matter how despicable your tricks are, I will make you taste the power of this poison today."

She picked up the Tao Yu sword, gently opened the mechanism, removed the poison needle near the hilt, and hid it around her waist.

We rode at full speed and arrived outside the city.
