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

Seeing Yuan Ying saluting, the younger generation of the Gu family also stepped forward and bowed together, "Nephew greets aunt..."

Madam Yuan looked at her nephews, all of whom were handsome and handsome, and nodded happily.

"Everyone has been tired from the journey, let's go into the mansion first! Let's talk inside... Let's go..."

Madam Yuan stepped forward and supported the old lady.

The servants at the door shouted in unison, "Welcome home, old lady!"

"Welcome home, old lady!"

"Welcome home, old lady!"

When the army returns to the capital, a palace banquet will be held according to the palace law.

Because they had traveled a long distance, they were all exhausted, and the old man was very old. The next day, they had to go to the palace for a banquet, so Mu Qingyan did not stay in Gu's house for long. After seeing them off, she exchanged a few words and left.

When she went out, Ah Shang was waiting for her at the door.

"Big girl."

As soon as Ah Shang opened his mouth, the carriage curtain was lifted, revealing a face that captivated everyone, "Get in the carriage, I'll take you back..."

Mu Qingyan sighed, lifted her skirt and got on the carriage.

"My Lord, do you have anything else to ask me?"

"Nothing, just passing by, I'm just sending you back..."

On the way? Gu Mansion and Wang Mansion are not in the same direction. This road must have gone around eighteen bends to get to the right one, right?

See through, don’t say through.

Mu Qingyan is a person who is used to playing dumb.

"You cured me and ruined King Yong's plan. You may be in danger next. I will send someone to protect you secretly. Don't worry, I will only protect you and will not affect your daily life."

He suddenly said this in a very serious tone.

Mu Qingyan still takes matters concerning her own life very seriously. After all, she only has one life and she can't give it away to others for nothing.

"The Gu family has returned with great achievements, which has also ruined King Yong's plan to use Yi State and Beiqi to control Chiling Pass. The Gu family will probably not be at peace. You should remind them to be more careful when they act outside... Don't let others take advantage of them..."

Mu Qingyan's expression also became solemn, "I want to ask you a question."

"You said."

"Do you know King Chong?"

The King Chong in her dreams was not like the one she knew now, impulsive and irritable, with his likes and dislikes written all over his face.

Mu Qingyan's question made Prince Ling rethink his understanding of Prince Chong.

"What did you find?"

Mu Qingyan couldn't possibly tell him about that illusory dream, so she could only say, "During the Qingming Festival Lantern Festival, didn't Mu Yingyu throw herself into the water in order to get close to King Chong? King Chong also said in person that he would ask for an imperial decree to grant the marriage, but after that, there was no follow-up."

"Later, Lan brought Mu Yingyu into the palace, and the Queen Mother told her in person to give up the idea of ​​a marriage. She understood Mu Yingyu's little thoughts and strangled them in the cradle. This is enough to show that the Queen Mother values ​​Prince Chong very much. She even refused to allow Mu Yingyu to try to get close to Prince Chong. Moreover, the Queen Mother obviously trains Mu Ruge as the next queen. If I guess correctly, she wants Mu Ruge to marry Prince Chong..."

"Prince Yong and the Queen Mother are mother and son. When Prince Yong wanted to rebel, the Queen Mother supported him. Otherwise, she would not have hindered His Majesty everywhere in the court and made things difficult for him. But since she supported Prince Yong's rebellion, why did she train Mu Ruge for Prince Chong? Moreover, if she valued Prince Chong, why did she never ask a single question when he was sent to guard the mausoleum for so long? These things seem contradictory, but there are traces to follow. Don't you think so, Your Majesty?"

If Mu Qingyan hadn't mentioned it, no one would have noticed the contradiction.

Prince Chong liked to go to Shouxiang Palace for everything and seldom went to Concubine Xian's Jing'an Palace.

He was punished to guard the imperial mausoleum. Logically, the one who should have been most anxious should be Concubine Xian, but she turned a deaf ear to him and never mentioned it in front of His Majesty, let alone begging for mercy.

This is unusual.

Empress Xian doesn't look like someone who would not be interested in fighting with the world. Since she wants to fight, Prince Chong is her only hope. If she doesn't help Prince Chong, who else can she help?

The Queen Mother was not close to the concubines in the harem; she just maintained superficial politeness.

She dislikes Concubine Xian even more...

"So, are you trying to say that Prince Chong is not my brother's bloodline? Instead, he is... Prince Yong's..."

Mu Qingyan shook her head. "It's a matter of royal dignity, so I dare not say more. I just think it's strange and unusual."

"I have taken this to heart and will investigate secretly. Thank you for your reminder. You have not had much contact with King Chong, but you can see something unusual from such a small clue. This is really rare. I have been dealing with the Queen Mother of King Chong for many years, but I have not been able to detect anything wrong."

Mu Qingyan thought to herself, if it wasn't for that dream, who would have thought so much? Mixing up the royal bloodline is a capital crime, who would think about that?

"Your Highness, those who are involved are often confused. I am an outsider, so naturally I can see things more clearly than those who are involved..."

"I also want to tell you something else..."

Mu Qingyan raised her eyebrows, "What does the prince want to say?"

"Before, I was worried about your safety, so my brother had the Imperial Observatory withstand the pressure from the Queen Mother and find excuses for not being able to predict an auspicious date, so our wedding has been delayed until now. Now that the Gu family has returned to the capital, the Queen Mother has even more excuses to get us married as soon as possible. Before that, she will definitely find ways to make you die tragically at home three days before the wedding like those women before, so as to once again confirm my reputation as a star of misfortune."

Mu Qingyan found a comfortable position to lean back and said, "Prince, you said you had to have a fake marriage with me. Do you think I am strong and not afraid of the Queen Mother's conspiracy? Otherwise, why would you drag me into it?"

Prince Ling looked at her lazy appearance and laughed a little. He had never seen a woman who didn't pay so much attention to her manners in front of others. "With the means of Prince Yong and the Queen Mother, they will know sooner or later that it was you who cured me. If I don't take you under their wing, how will you face the killing moves of the Queen Mother and Prince Yong? Mu Ruge didn't hesitate to use her own sister's life to set up a trap to get rid of you. There may be instructions from the Queen Mother behind her. You know, your existence makes her less respectable than before... Because Lan was once a concubine. Even if she is promoted to the main wife now, she can't erase this background. Mu Ruge is arrogant and refuses to bow to anyone. Your existence is her shame. How can she let you go easily?"

Mu Qingyan tilted her head, couldn't help but look at him and smiled, "Prince, have you never thought that she hates me out of jealousy because she likes you?"

Prince Ling was dazzled by that smile and was unable to react for a moment.

"This prince has no connection with her, Yan'er, don't talk nonsense..."

This deep and slightly resentful voice of Yan'er made Mu Qingyan's heart flutter. She didn't know that her name would sound so good when it was called out from his mouth...
