I'm shocked! After breaking off the engagement, the emperor's uncle wants to have a fake m

"Oh? Then when will you agree to marry? The Xiangning Marquis's Mansion is different now. Without Liang, you don't have to endure the anger of your mother-in-law. The Xiangning Marquis is not a meddlesome person and will not deliberately embarrass you as a new bride."

Qin Sangbai not only did not blush, but instead asked, "The date for your wedding with the prince has been set. Are your wedding clothes and dowry ready?"

Mu Qingyan curled her lips, "Well, what do I have to prepare? Now that the Gu family is here, I don't have to worry about anything. Let them do whatever they want. Anyway, I don't care about these things."

Yuan Xiao went to Beijing to report on his work and brought with him a list of names of Prince Yong's followers and evidence of their crimes.

Yang Yi used this evidence to vigorously reopen old cases, redressing many unjust cases and seeking justice for many innocent petty officials and civilians.

In a short period of time, he was promoted from a sixth-rank official to a fifth-rank doctor.

He was young and energetic. He did not get involved in the messy human relationships in officialdom, nor was he coerced or threatened by anyone. He was unstoppable.

The old cases of the Ministry of Justice were turned upside down.

In just half a month, most of Prince Yong's followers were killed, and the remaining ones were in danger and had to behave themselves in front of this young man of the fifth rank.

Emperor Jianning was delighted with this.

Da'an needs such upright and passionate people to rectify the atmosphere.

Princess Yunxi was ultimately unable to go far away to marry because Prince Yong intervened.

Kang Cheng gave up his purpose of marriage and left Andu without accomplishing anything.

"After this plague god leaves, your majesty should be able to feel more at ease. However, during the time Kang Cheng was in Kyoto, he seemed to be well-behaved on the surface, but in fact, he met with many court officials in private. None of the people he came into contact with were on the list given by my uncle. It is conceivable that the followers of Prince Yong are very wide..."

Mu Qingyan and Prince Ling stood on the city wall, looking at the envoys team going away.

Prince Ling looked ahead with a meaningful look in his eyes. "Even if the prince of Yi country jumps up and down in my Da'an, he won't have a good life when he returns to Yi country. The internal situation of the royal family of Yi country is more complicated and changeable than that of Da'an. Who knows what will happen when he returns after he comes here? Anyway, with the emperor's uncle here, there will be no more wars at the border for ten years. Now, my brother wants to give Prince Yong a reason to raise an army so that he can eliminate him legitimately. It's a pity that Prince Yong is a brave and resourceful man and will not be easily trapped..."

Mu Qingyan suddenly looked at him and said, "Didn't you say that the Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon? If His Majesty summons him to the capital for this reason, will he not come back?"

Prince Yong was not waiting for Emperor Jianning to give him a reason to raise an army, but was waiting for a suitable opportunity so that he could have a legitimate reason to do so. After all, raising an army to rebel was not a legitimate position, and it would be difficult to stop the people from talking.

Your Majesty is benevolent and kind, and has light taxes and levies, which has won him the hearts of the people.

If he rashly rebelled, even if he won the throne, he would not be able to keep it.

"My brother is summoned every year. He either says that his old injury has relapsed or that the border is unstable and he dares not leave his post. He acts like a loyal patriot. My brother can push him too hard. If he pushes him too hard, he will let the Tartars in in anger, which will be terrible."

Mu Qingyan added, "He has been guarding the border for many years, so he naturally knows what it means for the Tartars to enter the pass. If he still wants this country, he will naturally not do such a stupid thing. However, what you said makes sense. If he breaks the jar and goes all out, it will be a big worry after all..."

Prince Ling frowned and looked ahead.

In fact, the situation in the court was far more tense than he said.

Prince Yong ruled a certain area, and as long as he did not rebel, the imperial court had to supply him with enough food and military supplies.

I’m afraid that these military supplies will not be used for border defense, but will be kept by him as a basis for rebellion.

The Queen Mother was never at peace in the harem.

She wanted to win over anyone in the court who had some military power.

Another thing is that the Queen Mother has set her sights on Mr. Qin.

He was a great scholar of his time and a veteran of three dynasties. Students all over the world were proud to receive his guidance, and most of the officials in the court were also his students.

It can be said that as long as you control Lord Qin, it is equivalent to controlling most of the court officials.

The Qin family has dwindled to only the grandparents and grandchildren. Old Qin is a righteous man, so there is no need to worry about him changing his ways. The only thing is that the empress dowager may take ruthless action.

If the current Minister of the Secretariat died, it would affect the entire court and cause panic among the people.

"If you are worried about the safety of the Minister of State, Mr. Qin, I can temporarily move to the Qin Mansion."

Prince Ling's eyes lit up, "That's exactly what I was thinking, but I'm afraid you won't agree..."

Mu Qingyan smiled and patted his shoulder. "Don't underestimate a girl's desire to serve the country. I know how influential Mr. Qin is in the court, and I know what he means to Sang Bai. You can arrange people to secretly protect us from outside. I will move in directly with my people. I want to see how long the Queen Mother's hand is."

Prince Ling shook his head. "Not only the Queen Mother, but also Mu Ruge. She has been secretly contacting court officials over the years, and her power should not be underestimated. Although she is attached to the Queen Mother, I always feel that her purpose is not as simple as it seems..."

Mu Qingyan thought of the dream and smiled with sadness, "Of course, although she is attached to the Queen Mother, her loyalty to her may not be true. She is ambitious and wants to climb up to become a superior person."

Thinking of this, Mu Qingyan looked at him with a teasing look in her eyes, "Do you know why she likes you but never takes action?"

Prince Ling was a little embarrassed, "Why?"

"Because she knows that you will not be the emperor. The person she wants to marry is the emperor. So I think it is very contradictory that Prince Yong rebelled. Because the Queen Mother doted on Prince Yong very much, and her own son wanted to rebel, but she doted on a grandson who had no blood relationship with her. This is unreasonable in itself. I suspected Prince Chong's identity before, have you found out anything?"

Prince Ling shook his head. "This matter concerns the royal bloodline, so I dare not make it public. Mixing up the royal bloodline is a serious crime. Those who know about it have probably been silenced long ago. It may not be that easy to find out the truth..."

Just as Mu Qingyan was about to speak, a palace servant hurried up behind her, panting, "Greetings, Your Majesty. Empress Xian has suddenly fallen seriously ill, and the imperial doctors are helpless. Your Majesty has asked me to come and invite Miss Mu..."

The two of them looked at each other quickly, then hurried down the city wall and rode their horses towards the palace.

Concubine Xian is Prince Chong's biological mother. It is probably no accident that she suddenly fell seriously ill at this critical moment.

Prince Ling was not allowed to enter the concubines' bedroom at will, so she sent her to the gate of Jing'an Palace and stopped, "Just do your best..."

Saving lives is like putting out a fire. Mu Qingyan just nodded slightly, without saying much, and followed the palace servant in.
