One night passed.

In the morning, a woman dressed in snow stood in the courtyard outside Suxuan Pavilion. Perhaps the clothes she wore today were too plain, which made the colorful spots on her face look even more enchanting. The sun had already risen from the east,

The sunlight reflected on the crystal-covered flowers and leaves rendered the woman's pale face, but it could not hide the paleness in her heart.

After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is a rare opportunity to bathe in the morning sun, breathe out the turbid energy in the body and blend with the world. Only at this time can I be so calm.

"Miss, why are you not sleeping? What are you doing up so early?" Bishui just came out of the room and yawned. He looked at the woman in the courtyard and asked doubtfully. She slowly approached.

Yun Yan turned her head, without any change of emotion on her cold face, and said calmly: "It's getting late." After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the room.

Hearing this, Bishui was slightly startled. She looked at Yun Yan's back. She didn't know why, but she always felt that something was wrong with the young lady today. No, she had been like this since yesterday. She frowned slightly. Could it be that Leng Xue was really following her?

What did the young lady say? Did it make the young lady worried?

royal palace, royal garden

A strange atmosphere arose, and two figures, one white and one yellow, faced each other. One was calm and the other had a deep frown. The two were silent to each other, but where their eyes met, it seemed like countless sparks were bursting out.

Behind the two people were each followed by a guard. One looked indifferent, and the other looked lonely, much like their master.

Finally, the man in the plain white gown broke the silence. He smiled lightly, looked at the man in the light yellow brocade gown in front of him, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, what a coincidence, you are also in the palace today, it is really rare.

"

After hearing this, Mu Qingyuan looked away and said with a smile: "Listen to what Sixth Brother said, are you asking me to help you if you have something to do? I have always lived in the palace. But this is certainly not comparable to Sixth Brother.

Build a mansion outside and be a king as early as possible, and live happily."

Shaking his head slightly, a look of helplessness appeared on Mu Jingnan Junyi's face. He sighed and said: "Father, the emperor really values ​​the fourth brother the most. He is afraid that the fourth brother will not be able to always accompany the emperor after he leaves the palace. But I, the king, have always been with me.

It’s hard to see the Holy Master, and every time I’m called over by my father, I’m whipped, which is unspeakable misery.”

"Sixth brother, my father is so jealous of you. If you had listened to my father's words, you wouldn't be like this." Mu Qingyuan said comfortingly, but there was a coldness in his eyes. If it weren't for this, how could he

Will let him go. Thinking of how ambiguous he was with Yun Yan yesterday in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he felt inexplicably angry. He actually dared to touch his woman!

With a chuckle, Mu Jingnan spread his hands and said, "Thank you, Fourth Brother, for your comfort. My father doesn't like me. I have known it since I was a child. But the only thing that is worth celebrating is that my father gave Yan'er to me."

, This king will be satisfied."

Hearing these words, Mu Qingyuan narrowed his eyes and his expression suddenly turned cold. He sneered and said, "Sixth brother, it's too early to speak."

"What does Fourth Brother mean by this?" Mu Jingnan asked inquiringly, his face still showing a look of cynicism.

Mu Qingyuan put his hands behind his back and walked a few steps forward. When he reached the place where he was side by side with Mu Jingnan, he stopped and suddenly looked at the man beside him. A cold light shot out from his eyes, which fell straight to Mu Jingnan.

On his face, he said in a low voice, "No one can take away what belongs to me."

As soon as these words came out, the entire Imperial Garden seemed to fall into deathly silence. The man in the plain white gown for a long time smiled lightly, "In this case, I will see how the fourth brother snatches her away from me.

"I'm going to see my aunt first, so I won't accompany you." As he said that, he walked directly forward.

Behind him, Guyao Cheng glanced at Mu Qingyuan, and then his eyes fell on the man in white in front again. He took a deep breath and followed him.

Watching the two figures, one black and one white, go away, Xiao Yao walked over with a frown.

"Your Highness, where should we go next? Do we want to leave the palace?" Xiao Yao asked tentatively.

Leaving the palace? Mu Qingyuan frowned, turned around, and looked at the direction Mu Jingnan left. The anger in his eyebrows became even more intense. He shouted coldly, "Go back to the palace." After saying that, he turned around and headed towards the palace.

Go forward.

Looking at that angry figure, Xiao Yao's heart sank, this Sixth Prince really knows how to pinch people's weak spots.

As soon as he returned to Xiangtian Palace, Mu Qingyuan went directly into the study. Looking at the vase on the shelf next to him, Xu felt indignant. He waved his hand casually, and with a "bang", the flower evaluation broke to pieces on the floor. The flute was about to follow.

He came in, looked at this scene, and sighed in his heart. He closed the door carefully and stood aside, not daring to let out a breath.

Mu Qingyuan walked towards the desk with a dark face. He said coldly: "When I become emperor, the first thing I will do is to execute him." Just when he was about to sit down, he suddenly saw something on the table.

Letter, he was suddenly shocked. When had there been a letter on the table? A trace of doubt flashed across his originally angry face. He directly picked up the letter on the table and opened it to read.

Next, Xiao Yao noticed this scene. He opened the door directly, called a eunuch, and whispered: "Has anyone come to the study today?"

The little eunuch said quickly: "Master Qizhenxiao, I have been waiting here, and no one else has come."

Xiao nodded, stopped talking, entered the door, and closed the door.

Looking at the man in light yellow brocade robe next to the desk, his frown gradually faded away, and his eyes were filled with smiles.

Seeing Mu Qingyuan's appearance, Xiao Yao's eyebrows jumped slightly. He looked at the letter in Mu Qingyuan's hand and asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty, what is the content of this letter?"

Mu Qingyuan clenched the letter in his hand, looked at the Xiao Yao below, and said meaningfully: "Of course this is good news for me. In this case of Yang Ao, I will definitely be the final winner." As he said this, he handed over the letter.

handed it to him.

After hearing this, Xiao Yao looked at the letter that was handed to him, took it and read it, "Tonight, disaster money will appear again." There were only eight words in the whole letter, and a trace of suspicion flashed across his face, thinking

After thinking for a while, he said: "Your Majesty, does he know who sent this letter? What does the letter mean? How did the calamity silver suddenly appear?"

"Don't worry, I bought this information at a high price, and they are fast enough. As for the meaning of this letter, I naturally know it, just wait and see." Mu Qingyuan raised his eyebrows and said, if this is true.

Yes, then he has achieved great success this time.

Xiao Yao frowned deeply, he pondered for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, we'd better be careful to avoid being taken advantage of by others. In fact, according to the opinions of my subordinates, it is best for you not to interfere in this matter." If you really follow.

If Mr. Gao is involved, I'm afraid the gains outweigh the losses this time.

Not to interfere? After hearing these words, Mu Qingyuan suddenly looked at Xiao Yao. He sneered and said, "Do you know that my father has already sent a secret order for the second son to return to Liangdu?"

The second prince is going back to Liangdu? Hearing this, Xiao Yao was stunned. Wasn't the second prince sent by the emperor to guard the border very early? How could he come back suddenly?

Mu Qingyuan looked ahead, with a gloomy look on his face. He said angrily: "Father has already wavered in his heart towards me. If I don't make some achievements, I'm afraid I will have no choice but to wait for the second brother to come back."

Stand aside."

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao nodded. Indeed, the second prince is now in control of the military, which shows that the emperor thinks highly of him. Recently, the emperor has indeed been quite critical of the fourth prince. It would be great if he can regain the emperor's trust this time.

But... he looked at the letter in his hand unconsciously. Although it didn't say anything important, he vaguely felt that it was a conspiracy. Looking at Mu Qingyuan's expression, he was clearly immersed in the joy of success.

At this time, Mu Qingyuan suddenly stood up. He looked forward confidently and said, "This time, I will definitely defeat everyone and get back everything that should belong to me."

Xiao Yao was shocked. In addition to the position of the crown prince, everything that belonged to the fourth prince also... Thinking of this, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind, and her! For some reason, there was a faint ominous feeling in him today.

premonition.

In the afternoon, when dusk was approaching, Yun Yan was lying next to the window sill, staring outside in a daze. Yun Hong came again, but this time he brought good news.

"Yan'er, the Fourth Prince asked me to tell you something." Yun Hong looked at Yun Yan with a smile on his face and said happily. If it weren't for the inconvenience, I'm afraid the Fourth Prince would come over and tell Yan'er in person.

Turning his head, Yun Yan smiled lightly and said, "Brother, what did the Fourth Prince say?"

Yun Hong straightened his clothes, suddenly saluted Yun Yan and said, "The general will pay his respects to the fourth princess."

Hearing this title, Yun Yan's face remained calm. She smiled and said, "Brother, please stop teasing me. The fourth princess doesn't even have a single character."

Shaking his head slightly, Yun Hong leaned into Yun Yan's ear and whispered: "The Fourth Prince told me this personally. He said that we will see the outcome tomorrow."

Tomorrow? Yunyan didn’t know when Yunhong left. She took a deep breath and looked outside. Tomorrow, she suddenly sneered. She didn’t know if she would have a tomorrow.

Night finally came, and the entire sky seemed to be covered by a layer of black cloth. There was no starlight at all, and a dark gloom pressed into my heart, making me breathless.

In the courtyard, looking at the fallen leaves on the ground, it was obviously the time when the leaves were in full bloom, but it added a bit of desolation. Yunyan, who was dressed in night clothes, took a deep breath, put on a black veil, and jumped directly onto the eaves.

The figure swept away into the distance.

Outside the prison, it was not as heavily guarded today as in the past, but the guards were still tight. There were more than a dozen soldiers standing at the door, each holding a halberd and looking intently ahead.

In the corner not far away, a dark figure stood there. She looked around. Just now she had carefully checked the surrounding situation. No one was ambushing here. The time agreed with her and Ye Mei was still in the morning.

After half an hour, thinking of this, a cold light flashed in her eyes.

I don’t know how long it took, but in the originally peaceful night, a cold wind suddenly rose up. The guards outside the prison all had their bodies trembling with chills. They hugged their bodies slightly and looked around. There was nothing strange. Could it be?

Illusion?

At this moment, a dozen men in black descended from the sky, like ghosts, quietly appearing in the sight of the guards.

"Who dares to break into the prison without permission?" I don't know who said this.

The men in black didn't stop at all. They shot out the long swords in their hands and rushed towards the guards without mercy. The outside of the prison was instantly chaotic.

Looking at this scene, another figure in the dark was slightly startled. Why did he take action so quickly? This was different from the time they agreed.

At this time, a black shadow suddenly jumped out and rushed towards the Tianlao. Perhaps because she was flying high and staying close to the side, it did not attract the attention of others. Even if it attracted the attention of others, I am afraid that

At this moment, no one could come over to take care of her.

As soon as he entered the sky prison, Yun Yan rushed towards the cell where Yang Ao was imprisoned according to the direction he remembered. In the innermost cell, a man in a white prison uniform sat with his back to the cell door.

As if I heard footsteps, a slightly old voice came with a hint of ridicule, "Sure enough, he doesn't even want me to live in these last few days. Ha, anyway, I live one more day or one less day.

It doesn’t make any difference, just do it.”

Looking at the slightly stooped back in front of him, Yun Yan clenched his right hand unconsciously. It had only been two days since he last saw him. He seemed to have aged several years, but it was also a matter of life and death. No one could take it easy.

"I want to take action, but before you reverse the case for my grandfather, I will never let you die." Yun Yan looked at Yang Ao's back and said indifferently.

Hearing this voice, Yang Ao turned around suddenly. His hair was messy, and it had been stained with hoarfrost for some time. His face, which was still strong at first, was full of dejection. His forehead was already covered with wrinkles, and there were no traces of it.

There is no trace of the majesty of a powerful general.

"Is it you?!" Yang Ao looked at the thin man in black in front of him and said.
