In the imperial study room, the faint fragrance of ink mixed with the curling incense spread. Murong Jinxin lowered his head and stayed beside the emperor, studying the ink carefully.
Si Wuyue picked up the secret letter sent by Prince Zheng from Puyang, and raised the corners of his lips slightly. Murong Jinxin saw the smile raised on the corners of the emperor's lips. She had not seen him like this for a long time.
"Your Majesty, there is a happy event."
Si Wuyue closed the secret letter, "Well, Prince Zheng and the others are coming back soon, and they will bring someone back with them. This is excellent news for General Murong."
Murong Jinxin was puzzled. His father was still imprisoned in the General's Mansion to think about his past. What happy events were there?
"I wonder what happy event this is?"
"The queen still remembers that there was a time when she was the same as King Zheng."
Of course Murong Jinxin remembered that it was her mother's heartache, and it was precisely because of this that her mother and father had a bad relationship, and a concubine took advantage of it. But these are old things, why did the emperor mention it at this time?
thing?
"Of course I remember, that lady was one year younger than my concubine. Her name was Murong Qianmo. She died a few days after she was born. She was more than two months older than Prince Zheng. Could it be that the happy event the emperor mentioned had something to do with him."
Si Wushang nodded calmly, "That's right, that child is still alive, but he was sent to Gongyi's house by someone else."
Murong Jinxin suddenly said: "Your Majesty is saying that Gongyi is the child he was back then? How could anyone be so stupid as to leave a person by his father's side, since the marriage was changed?"
"That person is General Murong's enemy. They want to see their father and son kill each other. General Murong must know the origin of Gongyichu, so he would let Gongyichu go despite his disobedience to me."
The relationship between Murong Jinxin and the emperor finally eased. Even though her father was imprisoned, Murong Jinxin did not plead with the emperor for fear of destroying the relationship that the couple had managed to maintain.
This time the emperor actually said these words, which raised hope in her heart, and she hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, since you know your father's difficulties, can you reduce your father's punishment?"
Si Wuyue's originally clear eyebrows gradually became clouded, "Queen, as the mother of a country, how can you be so ignorant? General Murong committed a crime of disobedience. If everyone disobeys me, it is justifiable. My majesty
Where is, where is the law?”
"Yes! It was my concubine who was negligent and ignorant of the rules."
Seeing Murong Jinxin's respectful expression, Si Wuyue said, "Okay, you should get up too! Yu'er should have left the Imperial College at this time. Go and bring him over. I want to test his academic performance."
"yes!"
Murong Jinxin walked lightly to the door and glanced at him with a slightly sad look from the corner of her eyes. It was only natural for a daughter to care about her father, but when she arrived at the emperor's house, it became a luxury.
The emperor is moody, and there is not much time left. He will not care about everything as much as before. He only wants to spend the remaining days with him without regrets.
When Si Wuyue saw Murong Jinxin leaving, she took the Anxin pill from her waist and took it. He didn't have much time left, there were too many things to do, and his iron body couldn't bear it.
He had received some bad news recently, which made him even more uneasy. He didn't trust anyone except King Zheng. He expected King Zheng to come back, and there were still very important things to be entrusted to him.
A few days later, the group returned to Yingchuan City. Yingluo opened the door curtain and saw the familiar streets outside the carriage. He had followed Prince Zheng away that day. They had been away for more than a month, but when they returned, their mood was very different.
The difference is that she has an extra brother.
"Your Majesty, let's enter the palace together."
"Luo'er, you go back to the palace first. You are pretending to be the censor this time. If the emperor pursues you, it will be difficult. I brought Gongyichu into the palace. Believe me, I will ensure Gongyichu's safety."
Yingluo knew that King Zheng wanted to protect Yingluo's safety, "I pretended to be a royal censor because I didn't want King Zheng's identity to be exposed. If the emperor was a wise king, he would not pursue such trivial matters."
The emperor was moody. Si Wushang didn't want Yingluo to be in any danger, so he said firmly, "No!"
"But what should we do with the Queen Mother? We have just returned to Beijing and we have to go and say hello."
Si Wushang had already greeted the emperor, and had thoroughly analyzed the pros and cons. The Queen Mother's situation was more difficult. The Queen Mother had long had a grudge against the Murong family, and had always been at odds with each other, so she was afraid that it would add insult to injury.
There was never a shortage of spies around King Zheng, and King Zheng's movements could not escape the Queen Mother's detection, even in Puyang.
"It's better to do less than to do more. If you can hide, do it!"
Since Prince Zheng had blocked everything, she had nothing to say, "Well, I'll take Zhen'er back to the house, and I'll leave everything to the Prince."
In the palace, the news of King Zheng's return to Beijing has reached the palace, and the emperor ordered his eunuchs to take King Zheng to the side hall of Linde Hall to wait.
The emperor Zhao and his ministers went to Linde to discuss matters, and ordered people to secretly go to General Murong's mansion and bring Murong Xuan to the palace. After everything was ready, King Zheng was summoned to the palace.
Si Wushang and Gongyi were waiting in the side hall of Linde Hall. After waiting for a long time, they had already agreed on their words.
All the civil and military officials were present in the main hall, and the emperor was sitting on the dragon throne with a solemn expression. The courtiers in the court were very surprised. Gongyichu was a spy of the ancient Wu Kingdom, how could he be with King Zheng.
King Zheng and Gongyi walked into the palace one after another on the first day of the lunar month and said: "Long live the emperor!"
"Prince Zheng, how is the investigation of Puyang this time?"
"Your Majesty, the Wei family's illegal sale of salt has been found out, and people from the ancient Wu Kingdom were behind it. The head of the Wei family, Wei Qinglian, committed suicide in prison, leaving behind a confession and a jade talisman.
.”
"Send it over!"
The eunuch held the object in front of him with both hands. When he saw that the confession was stained with blood, it was filthy. He reminded him softly: "Your Majesty, this old slave will help your Majesty inspect it."
Si Wuyue raised her eyebrows, he was the most respected emperor, and there were many taboos there, "Send it over!"
Si Wuyue briefly looked through the confession letter left by Wei Qinglian, and picked up the jade talisman that could prove his identity, but it was a token of the Lan Kingdom royal family.
Yang Bupo had secretly told him the whole story, and King Zheng also analyzed the pros and cons in his letter, leaving Gongyichu with great value.
"Who is this Yu Feibai?"
Prince Zheng glanced at Gongyichu, who hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Gongyichu is a descendant of the royal family of the Lan Kingdom and the nephew of the queen of the ancient Wu Kingdom."
The emperor looked at Gong Yichu up and down, and saw that he was tall and tall, and he looked a bit like Murong Xuan, "I heard from Prince Zheng that the case in Puyang was solved this time because of your help behind the scenes."
Gongyichu hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Gongyichu was indeed a spy of the ancient Wu Kingdom. He hid in the Han Dynasty for many years because he did not know his life experience. That day, his identity was exposed, and General Murong revealed his life experience and revealed who Gongyichu was.
General Murong’s biological son.”
There was an uproar in the court, and they all misunderstood that Mrs. Gongyi had an affair with Murong Xuan.
"It was the people from the ancient Wu Kingdom who transferred the children of the two families. Knowing that their father had a close relationship with General Gongyi, they designed to destroy the Gongyi family. Gongyi stayed with his father as an adopted son at the beginning of his life. On that day, Gongyi
I didn't believe it at first. My father let me go for the crime of disobedience, and secretly began to investigate my life experience. It turned out that all this was true. Gongyichu was Murong Xuan's biological son. The royal family of the ancient Wu Kingdom had also decided to deal with Cheng Han
Fight."
"How can there be such a ridiculous thing in the world? The Ai family only knows that the Murong family has two daughters, but they never had a son. You, a spy from the ancient Wu Kingdom, are making alarmist remarks here. What are your plans?" Tu Tu was heard at the door.
