It is impossible for twins to be pregnant until full term. Hui Niang is about one or two months away. A woman is going to give birth to a woman, not to mention that she is an elderly mother.

So, what better way to solve the problem than using her to give birth? Or, Hui Niang herself may not be able to survive without others' efforts.

But at such a critical moment, is it the same as if no one is involved?

Mu Shaoqin raised his hand and pressed his temple that was vaguely painful, and he was obviously troubled by this problem for a long time.

After a moment of silence, he said slowly, "Your grandma said, I want to get better while the weather is good and go back to the countryside. After all, the Shi family's ancestral property is there, and they also want Ye Luo to return to their roots. You said, Dad, take this opportunity, please

The emperor gave a grace to withdraw the Prince Ping’s Mansion and accompany your mother back with you?"

Nianfu was stunned and then understood.

Since my mother's life experience was exposed, my grandparents always felt an indescribable guilt towards them. The kind-hearted they would never think that they had worked hard to raise Hui Niang, saved Mu Shaoqin, and raised Da Nianfu You.

What credit does it mean that because Hui Niang's identity is exposed, I feel that I live in the Pingwang Mansion. After a few days of good life, I feel that I have done something wrong. Even the next time I eat, I have to be relentless.

Say it again.

Mu Shaoqin felt very sad. In fact, Hui Niang was in a bad mood and had this impact. She tried hard to tell her parents that no matter what, they were their own parents. But the two old people refused to be as they used to be.

That way, especially Aunt Shi, she felt like a liar. She didn't even say anything when she felt uncomfortable, and she would grow old when she looked.

Nianfu understood in his heart that Hui Niang's life experience was not revealed in the past, and grandma could lie to herself. Hui Niang was her daughter. As she said, she just changed her shell and came back. But now the tragic truth is that.

She opened it bloodily in front of everyone, and she could no longer deceive herself.

I felt guilty about my dead daughter, guilty about hiding Dad Shi, and even guilty about hiding Hui Niang. How could an old man who was about to die?

There is also Dad Shi, who looks better than his wife on the surface, but he often sits there all day long, and he doesn't know what he is thinking. If you ask him, he will not say anything.

As well as Shi Gui, he became much more honest during this period, and he tiptoed like a restrained little rabbit.

Mu Shaoqin couldn't see it, but he understood everything in his heart.

So he wanted to leave not only to reassure the emperor, but also to take the two elders of the Shi family out of the sad place in the capital and return to their hometown. In the familiar environment, they regain the joy of life.

Nianfu felt very conflicted.

From a rational point of view, she also felt that letting her grandmother go back to her hometown was actually the best choice. But emotionally, she really couldn't bear to let it go.

Because she could not leave the capital, not only because of the old lady Ouyang Kang. Nianfu also knew in his heart that if their whole family ran away, it would really make the emperor feel worried.

After thinking about it for a while, Nianfu said, "Dad, even if the emperor is willing to let you go, will the empress dowager be willing?"

Mu Shaoqin paused. When he was a child, he had heard about some old stories about his elder sister and Empress Meng. He didn't pay attention to it at that time, but now he thinks about it, but he has mastered it.

I am afraid that the elder sister doesn’t like Hui Niang, so she also feels angry. The most unpredictable thing about emotions is that Mu Shaoqin wants to persuade him but doesn’t know where to start.

At this time, the daughter said again, "If we lose the protection of Prince Ping's Mansion, with my mother's current identity, what will we use to protect her? Even if we hide in the countryside, I am afraid we may not be able to get peace, right?"

Mu Shaoqin was shocked all over and Nianfu smiled bitterly, "Dad, if you think this method is feasible, you have told the emperor a long time ago, and it would not be delayed until this time. In fact, you also understand in your heart that this is not possible, right?"

Mu Shaoqin sighed and said that he had completely reached his mind. He no longer had to pretend. He completely took off his mask and showed fatigue and helplessness in front of his daughter for the first time.

"Nianfu, help your father, how can we help your mother and our whole family survive this disaster safely?"

Nianfu lowered his head, not looking at his father, and said softly, "Actually, you have already understood in your heart. If you want to completely let your mother and let our whole family have peace, there is only one way."

Mu Shaoqin looked at the phantom of his daughter in front of him, and his fingertips turned white little by little.

The same word was heavily pressed against his and Nianfu's hearts.

die.

Unless this is the case, Hui Niang will never have a peaceful day.

※

Ouyang Kang left home, went straight into the palace, and arrived in front of the emperor.

Zhuoge came to him this time and asked for money, but it was not just asking for money.

Because the emperor wanted to use force against Min Ye, he mobilized many troops to the coastal defense, so he planned to send Gongsun Hong to guard the border in the near future.

Zhuo Ge also wanted to go back to the grassland, but he knew that he could not directly manage Gao Xian to gain military power, so he thought of a compromise method, and he wanted to do business there.

Because Zhuo Rilie pacified the grassland, he reopened the Tea-Master and Daliang at the border, allowing the two places to communicate with each other.

Zhuo Ge's excuse is that he stays in the capital all day long and does nothing. It is better to help do some business there and take advantage of his familiarity with the grassland to ensure that Daliang will not suffer losses in business.

Anyway, the conflict between him and Zhuo Rilie is already on the table. Will he even cheat Daliang and help his elder brother?

However, he couldn't say this directly, so he had to ask Ouyang Kang to say it.

Of course, Gao Xian knew what he was thinking. Only by making money can he have the strength to cultivate power. Otherwise, as a commander who is a bare-headed commander, would he dream if he wanted to return to the grassland and show his great fortune.

After squinting his eyes and thinking, Gao Xian agreed, "Okay, since he wants to sleep, I will give him this pillow."

He suddenly smiled and took out a memorial to Ouyang Kang, "You have taken back all your 200,000 taels of silver. I want to thank you for making such a great contribution for me."

Ouyang Kang hurriedly said, "I am just making some small things, relying on the emperor's kindness. Besides, the back is full of His Majesty's concern, so I really don't do my job."

He broke the silver into pieces and handed it over to the people to take it to Beijing. But Gao Xian felt that it was too troublesome, so he directly issued an order to designate several post stations in Lingzhou to collect taxes and silver from the people, and then directly gave the bank this batch of silver

I was distributed to the place where I should use. Now I used this batch of silver to beat Min Ye. I didn’t have to pay extra money from the emperor, so he beat him very firmly.

Gao Xian smiled and said, "Granting means having merit. I have promised you that I will collect this money and I will return the previous one to you. You paid five thousand, and I will repay you ten thousand now."

Ouyang Kang slandered his fingers in his sleeve. Zhuo Ge asked for five thousand to go last time, but this time he wanted five thousand to go again. The emperor gave ten thousand, well, it's great, since he didn't have to pay his own money anyway, so he decisively thanked the Lord for his kindness.

However, the emperor is quite good enough. Although he did not take advantage of Ouyang Kang in terms of money, he also gave him a batch of valuable supplements.

He just took Ouyang Kangkui's double chin and joked, "This is for your wife, don't eat it all on you."

Ouyang Kang's face turned red. It seemed that the emperor was also a veteran and had a deep understanding.

He took his leave, and the emperor was concentrating on what he was thinking, unconsciously stroking the ring on his hand.

Chengping knew that this was something that the emperor had hesitated and difficult to decide. For example, before dealing with the Pei family last time, the emperor thought so for a long time.

However, when the emperor came to his senses, he issued an imperial edict that had nothing to do with Ouyang Kang and the Mu family.

Every man should be responsible for the country's war. Especially the princes and grandchildren, how can they sit idly?

Therefore, the emperor decided to ask several royal princes with titles to go to various old, young, border and poor areas to take advantage of the vassal states. Among them, the King of Chu and King of Qi were particularly concerned.

The King of Chu decided to be Songzhou, and the King of Qi decided to be Gaozhou.

The same poor mountains and rivers are just considering that the King of Chu is weak, so the road to Songzhou is slightly closer and Gaozhou is even further away.

The palace was the first to get the news. The princes who had been thinking about becoming kings in the past breathed a sigh of relief, because without the title of king, they were able to stay in the capital instead.

It didn't take long, and Empress Dowager Mu came here.

Gao Xian thought she was here to plead for King Qi of Chu, but she didn't expect that Empress Dowager Mu had suffered a lot of blows in the past one or two years, so she learned a lot and did not plead for the two emperors, but wanted to plead for them.

Ask for a grace.

"... Since they have gone, the concubines and children will naturally follow them, but if some pregnant or two or three-year-olds can withstand such long-distance travel? Why don't you give them a grace and let them

You can stay."

To put it, Gao Xian agreed readily and praised his mother's kindness.

Empress Dowager Mu smiled slightly, raised her hand to signal Chengping to clear the scene, and then said to Gao Xian, "There is one thing that the Ai family originally wanted to do it themselves, and it would be fine if they bear this bad reputation. But they are afraid that the emperor will misunderstand. After thinking about it, they should follow the emperor first.

Say it, so you won’t be able to turn around and blame the old man of Ai’s family for being confused.”

Gao Xian paused, "What is the mother saying?"

Empress Dowager Mu covered her mouth with a veil, "Princess Ping is about to give birth, and the Ai family thought, just send her there."

Gao Xian's pupils shrank, and Empress Dowager Mu appeared in mourning, "I am also a woman, and I am also a mother. How come I don't know that I am really cruel to do this? But she really can't keep it."

She sighed, "The dead Princess Taikang is alive again. This news is just circulating in the capital, which makes people panic. If evidence is found..."

She suddenly said righteously, "Even for the sake of the Daliang River and the country, the Ai family must take care of her! Please don't worry about this matter, Your Majesty."

Seeing Gao Xian was silent, Empress Dowager Mu felt relieved and said more majestic, "There is that Luo Xiaoyan..."

"Enough, Mother, Queen." Gao Xian said with a cold face, "I have my own opinions on this matter. Please go back."

Judging from his attitude, Empress Dowager Mu noticed some subtle differences.

That little mute can't move for the time being, but Hui Niang-

Humph, Meng Junyan, since she is your daughter, she is not worthy of being the wife of our Mu family, and she is not worthy of being worshipped by our Daliang Dynasty!
