Going down the mountain was much easier than going up, so it took less than half a day for everyone to successfully descend to the foot of Langya Mountain, and finally set off along the way they came back to the palace, back to the inn, and back to the inn.

When approaching the city gate, Wanyan Jue warmly invited Chu Qinglan and them to return to the palace with them.

Chu Qinglan immediately refused after hearing the words: "Thank you for the kindness of the prince, but I have two identities after all, and we have other important matters to deal with, so don't disturb the prince."

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to go back to the palace with me, it's just that you agreed to help me take back the country, please keep it in your heart. I also promise to you. Beiyi, each will be safe in one corner, and there will be no disputes!"

After this time, they completely offended Ha Xiang, so if they can help Wanyan Jue take back Beiyi, they and even the entire Qing Kingdom will benefit.

But where is Jiangshan so easy to regain?

If not, Wanyan Jue would not be just a crown prince in name until now.

However, they will not go back on what they promised.

Therefore, when they heard Wanyan Jue's words at this time, Chu Qinglan and Mo Beiyu responded decisively in unison: "Don't worry, the prince, what the two of us promised will naturally be carried out. The prince will always keep the promise he said in his heart, don't forget it!"

Wanyan Ju clasped his hands: "Don't worry, I, Wanyan Jue, always keep my promises!"

After finishing speaking, Wanyan Jue turned around and rode back to the palace.

Chu Qinglan and Mo Beiyu didn't linger any longer, they turned around and went back to the inn directly.

Unfortunately, as soon as the two returned to the inn, a piece of good news came.

It turned out that the guards that Mo Beiyu had transferred had already arrived in Beiyi the day before yesterday, and they were waiting for him in the inn now.

Mo Beiyu thought about the tiring journey, so he asked Chu Qinglan to go back to the room to rest first, while he went to meet the newly transferred guards himself.

In the wing.

"Meet the prime minister!"

When all the guards saw Mo Beiyu walking in from the outside, they knelt down on the ground in unison.

"Get up!" Mo Beiyu responded quickly when he saw this, and then immediately got to the point, asking, "Have you encountered anything during this journey?"

"Report, my lord, after receiving your message from Feige, our group rushed here immediately, and we didn't encounter anything on the way, just..."

Speaking of this, Mo Cheng, the leading guard, suddenly stopped intentionally or unintentionally.

Mo Cheng is the adopted son of the Mo family. He almost grew up with Mo Beiyu, and has been used by Mo Beiyu all these years. Therefore, Mo Beiyu still knows what kind of person Mo Cheng is.

Seeing that Mo Cheng hesitated to speak at this time, he knew that something bad must have happened.

For this reason, Mo Beiyu immediately asked decisively: "What is it?"

Mo Cheng hesitated for a moment, and then he had no choice but to report truthfully: "Something happened in the palace during the time you and the eldest princess were away."

"What's the matter?"

Mo Cheng didn't answer immediately, but hurried forward to Mo Beiyu's ear, and then spoke in a low voice.

I don't know what Mo Cheng said, but after Mo Beiyu heard it, his sword eyebrows suddenly frowned.

"Is this serious?" Mo Beiyu frowned, looking at Mo Cheng with a serious expression and asked.

Mo Cheng nodded vigorously: "My lord, this matter is absolutely true. If there is no accurate information, I dare not tell you."

After hearing this, Mo Beiyu suddenly stopped talking.

Before he came to Beiyi, he had expected that if he and Chu Qinglan were not in the palace, there would be chaos in the palace.

But it never occurred to him that what happened was even worse than he had imagined.

It seems that this time I have to go back early.he thinks.

It's not difficult to go back early, but the difficulty lies in how he should tell Chu Qinglan about this so that she won't worry too much?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel one head and two big for a moment, so he simply didn't think about it for the time being, but resolutely withdrew his thoughts, and told Mo Cheng and others about the saltpeter.

When he found saltpeter on Langya Mountain, he had already planned to send someone there to look at the bracelet.Now it is rare that Mo Cheng and others have finally arrived, just in time to send a pair of people to guard the saltpeter, and then find a way to mine Yunyun when they find an opportunity.

Thinking of this, he decisively ordered to go down, and divided the guards under him into two factions, one group immediately went to Langya Mountain to guard the saltpeter, and the remaining group continued to stay by his side to protect him and Chu Qinglan.

Speaking of protecting him, it was mainly used to protect Chu Qinglan.

By the time these things were dealt with, the night was already deep.

Mo Beiyu looked up at the sky, only to see that the sky was pitch black, and the moon was even covered by dark clouds, revealing only a faint light.

He stood in the wind for a long time before mustering up the courage to walk towards the wing where Chu Qinglan lived.

At this moment, just as Chu Qinglan took off her outer robe and was about to rest, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

The special way of knocking on the door is three long and two short. As soon as she heard it, she knew that the person knocking on the door was Mo Beiyu.

Chu Qinglan was surprised and delighted at the same time, she didn't even have time to put on her shoes, so she got up and ran to open the door.

As she expected, the person standing outside the door was indeed Mo Beiyu.

"Bei Yu, why did you come here suddenly? Did you need me for something?" Chu Qinglan smiled with crooked eyebrows, hugged his arm and kept walking into the room.

Seeing this, Mo Beiyu couldn't help laughing along with her, and deliberately asked her: "Why, can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?"

"Of course not. I don't know how happy you are to come to me. It's just that you came to me so late. This is not your style!"

As expected, she knew him very well, and she hit the mark as soon as she said it.

Mo Beiyu was still thinking about how to speak tactfully, but when he heard her say that, he simply stopped talking about it and replied directly: "To tell you the truth, I came to you because there is indeed something important to tell you."

Seeing him suddenly become solemn, Chu Qinglan suddenly had an inexplicable premonition of uneasiness in her heart, but she still suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and asked with a smile: "What's the matter?"

"You have to be mentally prepared."

She was even more disturbed by what he said: "Well, I'm already mentally prepared. Tell me, what is it?"

"It's something in the palace. To be precise, something happened to the empress."

"What?" Chu Qinglan was taken aback, and she stood up from the stool all at once. "What happened to my mother?"

"Don't worry, sit down and listen to me slowly." Mo Beiyu said, pushing her back on the stool to sit again, and then explained, "I don't know the details, is it Mo Cheng told me that during the time we were not in the palace, the empress was suddenly placed under house arrest."

"House arrest? Why is my mother under house arrest? What's going on here?"

"It seems that the empress was found to be using puppetry."

"Puppet art?" Chu Qinglan was even more shocked when she heard these three words.

"That's right, not only that, I also heard that the empress used puppetry to kill the fetus in Concubine Jin's womb."

"This is impossible!" Chu Qinglan immediately denied this possibility without even thinking about it.

Others may not know her mother, but she knows it very well.Her queen mother has always been a kind person, and usually she can't bear to crush an ant to death, so how could she use puppetry as a side art.

What's more, her mother has been in the deep palace all year round, let alone know how to use puppetry, and she has never touched it in normal times.

Therefore, no matter what, she would not believe that her mother used puppetry, and she would not believe that her mother used puppetry to kill the fetus in the womb of Concubine Jin.

Mo Beiyu also didn't believe that the Queen would do this, but this was a fact that was on the surface, so no matter whether he believed it or not, it wouldn't change anything.

For this reason, he said: "Lan'er, I know you don't believe it, so how can I believe it? But you have to know, whether you believe it or not, it has already become a fact, at least it is now on the surface. The fact is that it doesn't matter what you and I think, the important thing is to find a way to figure out the ins and outs of the whole thing."
