If you didn't think about kinship and maimed your son, how would the empress dowager react if she knew what you were doing?

"Insolent Xuanyuan An, how dare you ignore our orders, and leave the army without permission. When he returns, we will definitely punish you severely." Hearing Xuanyuan Zhi's words, the Emperor pretended to be angry and slapped the armrest.

Only Xuanyuan Zhi could see the complacency that flashed past his eyes. Xuanyuan An would never come back one day. According to the information he received, Xuanyuan An had been smashed by a huge boulder until he looked nothing like he used to. So what if Xuanyuan Zhi found him?

"Your majesty, the location of the Fifth Prince is unknown and it's difficult to determine whether it's a natural disaster or not. I'd like to ask your majesty to give the order to vigorously search for the Fifth Prince. Only by finding the Fifth Prince can that matter be reverted to that day." When General He Lan finished speaking, he immediately garnered the support of the ministers.

The emperor's eyes flashed. This matter just happened to delay roasting king.

"roasting king, I order you to investigate this matter with your full powers. You must bring the Fifth Prince back to me."

"This official will only ensure that the matter is investigated thoroughly." Xuanyuan Zhi glared at the emperor in disdain. If the Fifth Prince was already dead, what did you want me to bring back? For the sake of the Tian Qiong, he would investigate. If it was really the emperor's doing, then he was no longer fit to sit in this position. His way would only force the Tian Qiong into a corner.

He had a premonition that if he didn't stop them, the Emperor would really kill all of the princes. And once the country had no successor, that would be the end of it.

The Emperor looked at him for a long time before saying hello.

Upon returning to the Duke Palaces, Xuanyuan Zhi immediately sent his most proficient person to the wild to bring people to the Solitary Summit to look for the Fifth Prince. He especially warned Qi Shang to search every inch of the area within five hundred kilometers, to see the person if they were alive and their corpses if they were to die.

Even if the Fifth Prince was killed by a stone, Qi Sha would still have something on him that symbolized his status.

"Your Highness, the Third Prince has sent a message. He and the Second Prince have decided to head back to the capital." The Seventh Jue entered from the outside.

Xuanyuan Zhi's eyes were cold, the Emperor was about to kill again!

He walked to the study. "Tell the Third Prince to return with the Second Prince." If the two combined their powers, it would benefit both of them.

"Your Highness, should we send someone over?"

"Isn't the escort still there? There's no need for any other faction. Let them all have a snack. " What he needed to do now was to protect the two princes while at the same time find the evidence that the Emperor had taken action. If the evidence was conclusive, even if it was the Nine Five Supremes, they had to give up their position.

He had never wanted to throw the emperor out as much as he wanted to at this moment. His deeds had shown that the emperor was cruel, cold, and selfish. Could it be that he wanted to kill all of the princes and pass the throne down to Lin Wanru's child? It was all the Emperor's own business to decide who was to be the crown prince. However, what if Lin Wanru's child was born with mediocre aptitude and did not have the ability to control the entire population?

He couldn't watch the Tian Qiong being destroyed with his own eyes.

After Chu Qingyao saw Hua Qian Yan and Fang Jian off in the morning, she felt a little disappointed. She would be alone again in the future. He took an afternoon nap and leaned against the bed, drinking the iced and sour plum soup while flipping through medical books.

Hong Tan walked in, "Royal Concubine, Princess He Lan brought a man with her. He said that he wanted to personally thank you for saving his life."

"Let them in." Chu Qingyao straightened up. After putting down the spoon, He Lanxi and the others had already walked in.

The moment the man entered, he immediately looked at her, his eyes seemed to contain many emotions. Chu Qingyao was stunned, could this person recognize her?

"Chu Qingyao, we came to thank you." He Lanxi looked to be extremely relaxed, he walked to her soup pot and took a deep breath: "Hong Tan, do you have more of this soup? Bring it here quickly, this county is hot to death. "

Hong Tan looked at the wangfei, seeing her nod, he immediately replied, "Yes, this servant will go get it immediately."

Chu Qingyao sized up the man. Since she knew that he was wearing a mask, she automatically ignored his appearance. She then greeted, "Sir, please take a seat."

The man cupped his hands towards her. "Mu Yun came here specifically to thank Princess Hua-Yang for saving his life. If Princess Hua-Yang is useful to her in the future, Mu Yun would definitely not refuse."

"Young master's surname is Mu?"

"Yes, trees, clouds." The man gave him a humble nod before sitting down.

When the sour plum soup was served, He Lanxi only drank half a bowl. Feeling that it was much cooler, he asked Chu Qingyao, "Where is the Toxic Sect Sect Leader? You couldn't have been hiding there, right? "

Chu Qingyao glared at her. "He Lanxi, if you continue to speak nonsense, I won't save you the next time I'm poisoned."

When He Lanxi thought of Yuwen Jingrui, he could only shut his mouth obediently.

"Prince Zhi's Concubine, you saved Mu Yun, I'm afraid that you will anger him. In the future, when the princess goes out, you must be more careful." The man said guiltily.

"Young master, you don't have to worry. Yuwen Jingrui and I have a grudge in the first place. I was ambushed on the way back that day. "

The man was shocked, "It was Mu Yun who implicated Princess Hua-Yang."

"Aiya, why do you always take everything for yourself? Yuwen Jingrui and the Tian Qiong Royal Family are mortal enemies, while Chu Qingyao is a Prince Zhi's Concubine, she had already stood opposite to him. Even if I don't save you, Yuwen Jingrui would really want to grab her and take this opportunity to humiliate the roasting king. "

Chu Qingyao was startled, this was the first time she had heard He Lanxi call Xuanyuan Zhi roasting king. In the past, she had always called him brother Zhi.

She laughed, "The princess' words are true, they have nothing to do with young master."

The man drank a few mouthfuls of sour plum soup and then stood up. "Royal Consort, Princess, Mu Yun still has things to do, so he will take his leave first. If there's an opportunity in the future, I will definitely pay you a visit. "

He Lanxi also stood up, a little reluctant. "Wait for me, I'll go with you."

Mu Yun acknowledged as the two of them left the place together. Chu Qingyao got Hong Tan to take away the soup pot and asked, "Is the Prince at home?"

"In the study." Hong Tan felt that since she was drenched from the rain, she had become depressed, as if she had something on her mind. Hearing her ask about the prince, he asked, "Is the wangfei going to see the prince?"

"Not going." Chu Qingyao replied very straightforwardly.

Very quickly, Hong Tan entered the room once more. "Princess, the man that Princess He Lan brought with her has come again. He says he wants to meet with her."

Chu Qingyao immediately perked up, "Is he alone?"

"Yes."

"Bring him in."

She had already noticed that the man's gaze was off, she didn't expect him to turn back. He just needed to get to the bottom of him and find out who he really was.

The man was brought in and she sent Hong Tan out.

"Young master came back after leaving, do you have anything to say to this wangfei?" She stared at the man.

The man looked at her, then walked over and pulled the curtains shut, "Chu Qingyao, don't you remember me?"

Chu Qingyao glanced at him mockingly, "You're wearing a mask, how do you expect others to recognize you?" The man was shocked and laughed, "So you found out."

He slowly removed the film covering his face and asked, "Do you recognize me now?"

Chu Qingyao was shocked, and immediately stood up, "You are Yun Mu? I heard from the Prince that you've gone missing. Where have you been these past two years? "

The man who called himself Mu Yun was the Chu Yunmu who had gone missing in the far north. Although the face under the mask had changed, it was still possible to tell that it was him. " I... We found our loved ones, so we left the army. "

"That's great. I truly envy you for being able to reunite with your family." A trace of envy was revealed on Chu Qingyao's face.

"Thank you for pleading for me and giving me the chance to enter the military, otherwise I would have to die in the hard labor camp for the rest of my life." Chu Yunmu spoke sincerely.

If not for Chu Qingyao, he would not have been taken into the army. It was because of his outstanding performance in the military that he had given his family a chance to find him. Everything was thanks to her.

"When the phase of Chu was demoted, it was also because of me. Don't you hate me?" Chu Qingyao looked at him.

"There must be a reason for this. Besides, if I don't travel to the far north, I won't be able to find my family." He looked at her quietly with gratitude in his eyes.

"Big brother, it's good as long as you don't blame me." She called him brother, because he had been implicated.

Chu Yunmu was a little surprised, but suddenly smiled and said, "Little sister, I didn't think that you would still recognize me."

"Why not? I see you as my big brother. " Chu Yunmu had never bullied the Steppes Master before.

Chu Yunmu glanced at the house, "I heard that the roasting king dotes on you, why do you live here?"

"No one is disturbing me here. This is a place that really belongs to me." She said indifferently, "It could also be that I'm used to living here. When I first came to the Royal Mansion, I was sent here."

These words were filled with bitterness. Even if she didn't elaborate, Chu Yunmu could imagine that she must have been having a bad time back then. In addition, phase of Chu and the Madame Chu were pressing on her everywhere, only if she got angry would she be able to bring the phase of Chu down.

"Because of you, he doesn't need to work hard in the far north." Both of them knew who he was referring to.

Chu Qingyao curled her lips. phase of Chu had already been punished, she didn't want to bring up this person again. She suddenly thought of the Auntie Sun, and told him that the Auntie Sun gave birth to a son.

"When I go to the north again, I will definitely tell him about this news." Chu Yunmu was different from Chu Qingyao; he had deep feelings for Chu Yiqun.

Even if he found out about his background now, he would still treat Chu Yiqun as his father. Even if Chu Yiqun knew that he wasn't's biological child, she would treat him as if he were her own.

"Little sister, I have a request."

"Go ahead."

"I want to see the Auntie Sun." Seeing that Chu Qingyao agreed, he continued, "If the Tian Qiong Emperor never forgives him for his crimes, I am prepared to bring him over to reunite with him. Little sister, I hope you understand that I was raised by him and in my heart, I will always be the young master of the Chu family. "

At this time, when Chu Qingyao heard Chu Yunmu's words, she was somewhat emotional, but she did not get angry. He said lightly, "It's fine as long as you do what you want. I have already put my past aside."

Chu Yunmu's face was full of gratitude, but he did not say a word.

"Why did you come back to the capital? Aren't you afraid that the prince will catch you fleeing and kill you?" Chu Qingyao felt that he was too bold.

"I didn't want to meet you, so no one would know who I am. I came back to the capital this time to see if you were doing well. Coincidentally, I met Yuwen Jingrui, so I stayed for a few more days. "

"You have a grudge against him?"

"You'll know about some matters in the future." Chu Yunmu didn't want to say more. Chu Qingyao nodded and asked, "What is your relationship with He Lanxi?"

Chu Yunmu was startled, "I saved her once, and she also saved me. We are friends now."

Chu Qingyao was speechless, it seemed like He Lanxi still had a long way to go. She said, "Actually, you are not young anymore, you should get married soon. He Lanxi is a good person, why not consider it?"

Chu Yunmu's face reddened, but she still said, "I haven't considered these matters, everything is up to fate."

"Can't you tell me your current identity?" Chu Qingyao felt that he was a little mysterious. Before going to the extreme north, he had no way of contacting Yuwen Jingrui at all. How did he end up in conflict with Yuwen Jingrui?

"I am from Falcon Kingdom." Chu Qingyao opened her mouth and guessed at a possibility.
