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

She always felt that apart from the conspiracy at Chiling Pass, King Yong would not let the Gu family go so easily.

Especially that dream.

Mu Ruge has no grudge against the Gu family, so why would she treat the Gu family like that?

If King Chong came to the throne, in order to seize military power, there was no need for him to use such extreme methods, causing the entire Gu family to suffer a miserable end.

After all, there are not many generals who can be used in the court. If he treats the Gu family like this, isn’t he afraid that the Yi Kingdom and Beiqi will take the opportunity to invade?

Thinking of this, Mu Qingyan became a little angry.

It's really annoying to have such a dream without a beginning or an end. You said what happened before, why don't you explain it in your dream?

Ugh……

Nervous...

"Yan'er? What are you thinking about?"

Mu Qingyan came back to her senses and shook her head. "Nothing. I was just wondering, when will this world be peaceful again..."

Xu Lin didn't know what he was thinking about, but he suddenly laughed, and there was bitterness in that laugh, "Even in the martial arts world, fellow disciples will fight overtly and covertly for the position of the leader, and they will use intrigues against each other. Not to mention the imperial power... Power is dazzling, and it's a good thing that you are going to marry a prince..."

Mu Qingyan curled her lips, "Since ancient times, few princes have had a good end. Those who were too ambitious died in rebellion, and those who did not rebel died because their achievements were too great and frightened the emperor."

At present, it seems that Emperor Jianning and Prince Ling still have a deep brotherly love, but I don’t know how long this friendship can last.

Even if Emperor Jianning allowed Prince Ling to be extremely powerful now, what about the new emperor in the future? Would he be able to tolerate an uncle with great power in the court?

Her dream contained no information about the past of Emperor Jianning and Prince Ling, not even about the Crown Prince.

Only after King Chong ascended the throne did the miserable situation of the Gu family and the woman who looked exactly like her occur.

There is also Mu Ruge's pride in ascending the throne of queen.

She subconsciously didn't like Mu Ruge, and the things she showed were not likable.

"The prince knows when to advance and when to retreat. He won't let himself go to the point where his achievements threaten the emperor. Although your marriage is an appointed one, I have been watching from the sidelines these days. His feelings for you are real, but every time he expresses them, you always respond indifferently, and he feels a little disappointed."

Mu Qingyan blinked, a little stunned.

Is she acting so indifferent?

She thought that was normal behavior...

But, you can't blame her for being cold, right? After all, it was Prince Ling who proposed the fake marriage...

Before she was completely sure whether he really had feelings for her, she couldn't be too enthusiastic and eager...

Before she could say anything, Xu Lin heard a noise behind his ear and his eyes suddenly turned cold, completely different from the gentle and elegant man just now.

"You stay here, I'll go take a look."

After saying this, the man flashed and disappeared into the darkness.

Soon, the sound of fierce fighting was heard from the courtyard where Mr. Qin lived.

Mu Qingyan closed her eyes and listened. The strength of both sides was equally matched.

With the addition of a sharp sword energy, one side began to be at a disadvantage.

Soon, the sound of fighting weakened and gradually disappeared completely.

Xulin's robe was plain and clean, without a single stain of blood.

Mu Qingyan lowered her head to look at the teacup and smiled to herself. It was only a cup of tea.

She picked up the teapot with her bare hands, poured a cup and handed it to Xu Lin, "Brother, you have worked hard."

"All those who come are determined to die. No one will be left alive." Xu Lin picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp.

"It's clear who is behind this, so it doesn't matter whether we stay or not."

As they were talking, they saw Jiu Niang hurried over.

"what happened?"

Seeing a stranger, Jiu Niang hesitated whether to speak. Xu Lin knew what was going on and stood up immediately, "I'll go over there and watch, you two can talk slowly."

After the people left, Jiu Niang spoke, "Miss, there is a wolf head tattoo on the lower back of the assassins... I also saw this tattoo when my family was exterminated... Although they appeared together with the people who kidnapped me, they should not be in the same group. I have never seen this tattoo in the dark night. They should have been ordered by the same master at the same time, but they have different origins..."

"You can make a copy of the tattoo on silk and give it to the prince to check and see if there is any clue."

Whether it is a tattoo or a totem, it is generally something that certain special families love to use.

Wolf heads generally belong to grassland tribes.

It seems that King Yong not only colluded with the Yi State of Beiqi, but he was also unwilling to miss out on even the more powerful grassland tribes.

However, what benefit would it bring to him in his fight for the world by colluding with so many foreign races?

Even if we win, it will be torn into pieces, right?

"Yes." Jiu Niang responded and was about to leave when Mu Qingyan stopped her.

"What else do you want, young lady?"

"I just suddenly remembered that Yueban said that your family used to be a famous family in the martial arts world?"

Jiu Niang's eyes flashed with grief and indignation, and she whispered, "Yes..."

"That should be very rich, right?"

"Yes, my father is the head of the family, and my uncle is a business genius..."

That is to say, Prince Yong had begun planning a rebellion more than ten years ago.

Whether it was raising private soldiers or winning people's hearts, a lot of money was needed, so he set his sights on the huge wealth of Jiu Niang's family...

Dark Night should also be his man.

Prince Ling was poisoned only after he eradicated Dark Night...

His strength made King Yong wary, fearing that he would become a stumbling block on his road to becoming king, so he wanted to get rid of him.

"Jiu Niang, your revenge will be taken soon!"

When Jiu Niang heard this, her eyes lit up, but then dimmed again in an instant.

After she escaped from the dark night, she had been searching for her enemy, but to no avail.

Could it be that the person behind this is related to those assassins tonight?

What happened tonight concerns an important official of the imperial court. Could it be that the person behind this is some high-ranking official? Or - a member of the royal family...

She suddenly thought of a person - King Yong.

The person that Prince Ling has always wanted to deal with!

"girl……"

This is a political matter, and the current situation is unclear. Mu Qingyan couldn't reveal too much. "First, tell the prince about the wolf head tattoo. Once you get a clue, the prince will definitely send someone to hunt him down. When you have a clue, you will know everything. This matter concerns the political situation, so I can't speculate too much. We can only wait until the truth comes out."

Jiu Niang nodded and retreated silently.

Mu Qingyan rubbed her aching brows and felt exhausted.

I think of the scene before leaving the house today.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you get involved in the court's factional struggles! If you offend someone you shouldn't offend, your entire family will be in trouble!" Duke Fu stopped her at the door angrily.

The Lan family added fuel to the fire.

Mu Yingyu said nothing, but looked at Mu Qingyan with eyes full of desire to go with her.

But she couldn't take Mu Yingyu with her.

After all, she is Lan's biological daughter. Even though they have fallen out, the blood relationship still exists.

She is not afraid of being branded as unfilial, but Mu Yingyu cannot be like her.

After all, she will get married in the future.

If her reputation was affected because of her, that was not what she wanted to see.
