Glancing at his bewildered son, Gong Yuanhao played with the teacup in his hand, his eyes flickering with amusement: "Could it be that Yingjie didn't realize that there is something special between the emperor and the nine princesses?"

Gong Yingjie thought for a while and shook his head.

"It's no wonder you can't see it. After all, Princess Jiu was still young at that time. I haven't been back to the palace in the past three years because of my illness. Tonight, something like that happened again. I guess you didn't have the heart to notice it."

Gong Yingjie's expression was a little unnatural.

Implicit in the father's words, is that he is young after all, that he has not been overwhelmed by Mount Tai without changing his face, and that he has a thorough view of the overall situation?

As if he didn't notice his son's strangeness, Gong Yuanhao said meaningfully: "I have observed carefully for my father tonight, and all the princes and princesses hardly look like the emperor, on the contrary, they are the nine princesses, and their eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to the emperor. "

After hearing what his father said, Gong Yingjie's face was filled with shock and disbelief.

"Although the emperor has never registered a queen, the concubines who can be favored by the emperor must be innocent women, and those princes and princesses who have been titled must have been approved by the emperor. You must know that the emperor is the ninth-five-year-old, how can you Allow concubines to wear green hats for themselves? How can you allow the royal blood to be unclear? If it is said that the noble concubine is cheating for the sake of status and power, it is possible that all the concubines in the harem are like this, no one will believe it!"

"A father is still puzzled about this point." Gong Yuanhao pondered: "But as a father, I can be sure that the nine princesses are definitely the emperor's own daughter!"

"What does the king mean, the ninth princess is the emperor's illegitimate daughter?"

Gong Yuanhao nodded and said: "It should not be wrong!" Then he narrated the secret that was not a secret.

It turned out that Emperor Huiwen, who was still the prince back then, and Qingyun's biological mother, Mu Qingyi, fell in love at first sight, and soon they made a private decision for life.

After returning to the palace, Emperor Huiwen knelt down and begged the late emperor to allow him to marry Mu Qingyi as the crown princess. Unexpectedly, the late emperor refused to allow Mu Qingyi to marry Mu Qingyi on the grounds that Mu Qingyi was not the only son and would be a good match for the future emperor. beg.

For this reason, Emperor Huiwen knelt outside the Mingde Hall for three days and three nights, without sleep, without eating or drinking, but still failed to change the mind of the former emperor. In the end, Emperor Huiwen was willing to give up his glory and wealth and Mu Qingyi to go back to the people.

The former emperor, who had insight into the opportunity, ordered someone to put a love potion in his tea, forcing him to marry the then Minister of the Household Department, and now the prime minister's daughter, Lin Yulin, as the crown prince.

Mu Qingyi was sad and disappointed and left without saying goodbye. Emperor Huiwen sent people to search for him for a year but he was nowhere to be found.

Later, after the death of the first emperor, Emperor Huiwen succeeded to the throne. Regardless of the objections of the courtiers, he insisted on leaving the post vacant, and even conferred the title of concubine Lin Yufeng, who was supposed to be the empress. Still did not give up looking for Mu Qingyi.

Half a year later, Concubine Rong had the first heir of Emperor Huiwen, and Lin Yufeng suddenly found Mu Qingyi and took him back to the palace.

Emperor Huiwen, Longyan Dayue, wanted to announce to the world that Mu Qingyi could be conferred the title of empress, but he didn't want all his ministers to object directly, and even took out the last emperor's decree: Mu Qingyi was never allowed to enter the palace as the concubine of Emperor Huiwen!

Mu Qingyi didn't want the man she loved so much to end up being unfilial, so she tried to persuade her with good words, and the remnant party of King Wen, the younger brother of the former emperor, was once again making trouble, so Emperor Huiwen had no choice but to let it go, but canonized Mu Qingyi as a close female official. Thousands of pets in one!

Unexpectedly, the good times didn't last long, both mother and child died during Concubine Rong's birth. After investigation, the ginseng soup that Concubine Rong took before contained a large amount of red cattail root, which has the effect of breaking blood and aborting fetuses. The hundred-year-old snow ginseng that made the ginseng soup was given to Concubine Rong by her. Concubine Rong was so precious that no one would touch her. The master, using this to frame Mu Qingyi's stupidity.

The evidence was overwhelming, and Mu Qingyi could not prove her innocence.

The courtiers thought that murdering the emperor's heir was a heinous crime, and they wrote to Emperor Huiwen to punish Mu Qingyi severely.

Emperor Huiwen was so anxious and worried that he couldn't sleep or eat.

The same sister as Mu Qingyi, the imperial concubine who was three months pregnant knelt down and begged Emperor Huiwen for mercy, saying that she believed her sister was innocent, and invited her to go to the prison to stay with her sister until the truth came out.

It's a pity that before Emperor Huiwen found strong evidence to clear up Mu Qingyi's grievances, she left without saying goodbye again, and has never been seen since.

Three years later, Emperor Huiwen suddenly brought back a one-year-old adopted daughter, the Ninth Princess Mu Qingyun.

Speaking of this, Gong Yuanhao paused, took a sip of tea and continued: "The emperor not only announced to the world that she was bestowed the title of Princess Jiayi, but also gave her the honorary title of 'Nine Princesses', and even decreed that anyone who sees her She has to kneel and worship, otherwise she will be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor!

Moreover, the name of the nine princesses is 'Qingyun', which is the same as Qing, and the emperor's name taboo contains the word 'cloud'. The emperor's love for Mu Qingyi is as deep as the sea, and he combined the name of the nine princesses with one word in the taboo name of the two. It is reasonable, so I guessed for my father that the emperor must have found Mu Qingyi and gave birth to the ninth princess. Otherwise, how could the emperor give her such a respected status?How could he take care of her so carefully and love her so much?

Tonight, a closer look at the face of the ninth princess who resembles the emperor confirmed my father's guess, but after the emperor brought back the ninth princess, he thoroughly investigated the death of Concubine Rong, killed many people, and completely blocked the news. Now we know There were very few people involved in the incident back then, and Mu Qingyi was probably dead if he thought about it, the emperor's loss of his beloved was unavoidably stimulated, and as a result, his words and deeds changed quite a bit. "

"Since the emperor has completely blocked the news, how did the father know so clearly?"

"Being a father and the emperor can be regarded as brothers, and there are some things that people know better than ordinary people." A faint smile crossed the corner of Gong Yuanhao's lips.

Looking at his father with deep eyes, Gong Yingjie thought for a while and said, "My son thinks that the imperial concubine is the most suspicious of Concubine Rong's death!"

"Oh?" Gong Yuanhao raised his eyebrows and looked at his son: "Let's talk and listen."

"First, according to my son's secret investigation, the imperial concubine looks virtuous and virtuous on the surface, but in fact she is a vicious and powerful woman. If there is no conspiracy, depending on the imperial concubine's disposition and the prime minister's influence in the court, even if she fights to Yu Sipo would never commit himself to the emperor in that way.

Second, the emperor sent so many people to search for Mu Qingyi for a year but failed to find Mu Qingyi, but after Concubine Rong became pregnant with the emperor's heir, the imperial concubine suddenly found her and brought her back to the palace. The imperial concubine is too lucky, or is the Lin family more powerful than the royal family?

Thirdly, although Mu Qingyi was favored by the emperor, he did not hold any real power because of the previous emperor. Instead, the noble concubine was in charge of the harem affairs. Obviously, the noble concubine brought Mu Qingyi back to please the emperor, and at the same time To deal with Concubine Rong, after she has an imperial heir, use her power to buy or coerce some people, get rid of Concubine Rong's mother and son who may threaten her status, and then put the blame on Mu Qingyi who has taken away her favor. The trick of the three eagles.

The most important point is that Mu Qingyi came from a humble background, and the imperial concubine was a lady of the family. The two had no relationship at all, but Mu Qingyi not only won the emperor's heart and all the love, but also snatched away the empress position that belonged to the imperial concubine. , how can the imperial concubine swallow this breath?How could they be sisters with Mu Qingyi? "

"Your analysis is very reasonable!" Gong Yuanhao looked at his son with admiration and pride in his eyes: "The emperor also suspected it back then, but it is a pity that no conclusive evidence has been found to prove that it was the imperial concubine."

Gong Yingjie couldn't help being excited by his father's praise: "The imperial concubine is very scheming, not to mention there is an old and cunning prime minister behind her, since she set up this vicious conspiracy, she naturally did it neatly and will not leave any clues behind her." Doom yourself."

"Okay, as long as you know this matter well." Gong Yuanhao looked down at the floating tea leaves in the teacup, and said meaningfully: "As for the matter of the royal family's blood, you send someone to investigate carefully and secretly, maybe There will be unexpected results!"

"My son understands!" Gong Yingjie hesitated for a moment and asked, "Should we be more careful with the imperial concubine and the prime minister?"

"Don't worry about it for the time being! This king wants to see what kind of tricks the father and daughter can come up with?"

"There is one more thing. Princess Nine has set up a Ziyi Guard in response to this case of the girl's disappearance. It is specially responsible for the detection of major and important cases across the country. The emperor has given the full authority to Princess Nine. Father, we..."

"Really?" Gong Yuanhao got up and walked to the window, looking in the direction of Sunset Cloud Palace, his deep eyes were silent, and occasionally there was a trace of secretive dark light.

At the same time, Lin Tao, who was ordered by the prime minister to go looking for Zhilan, when he disappeared from the carriage where the prime minister was sitting, cursed Zhilan in a low voice as a disaster, and ordered the servants to look for it, while he quietly I hurried to the old friend's good residence, ready to enjoy the tenderness of the country.

Unexpectedly, when he walked into the alley next to the old friend's residence, two masked men in black suddenly appeared, punching and kicking him without saying a word, and accidentally injured his important parts , Suddenly the pain made him faint. . . . . .

In the early morning of the first day of the new year, Qingyun came to the secret base on time, and looked at the purple-clothed guards in front of them who were wearing purple costumes, with blood-red manjusawa patterns embroidered on the sleeves of their right arms. Let her very satisfied.

After arranging their respective next tasks, Qingyun led them to the newly established Ziyi Gate in the city with great momentum.

The subjects who came after hearing the news stood on both sides of the street, watching the purple-clothed guards walking slowly on horses and horses, all of them had various weapons pinned to their waists, all of them looked like sharp swords in scabbards that had been hidden for a long time It is as if it is about to be unsheathed, and the horse's pace is surprisingly uniform, which is both pleasing to the eye and awe-inspiring.

For the nine princesses at the front, everyone has an indescribable feeling in their hearts. After all, they still have lingering fears about the bloody killing that lasted almost all night last night. , It is really admirable.

Taking in all the eyes of the crowd, Qingyun Qingli's face was always as calm as water.

She doesn't care about gossip, nor does she care about damage to her reputation. She only cares about the safety of her relatives and friends. As long as they are all living happily, even if she sacrifices her life, she will have no regrets!

Emperor Huiwen led his courtiers to wait at the gate, looking at his beloved daughter who was slowly approaching, with a dignified face on a refined face, but kindness and pride in his eyes.

Leaping off the steed, Qingyun walked up to Emperor Huiwen and saluted: "I will see my father, long live my father!"

All the purple-clothed guards got off their horses and knelt down and shouted, the loud and orderly voice resounded through the sky.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Stretching out his hand to support his beloved daughter, Emperor Huiwen ordered someone to hang the pure gold plaque of the Purple Clothes Gate written by him on the door, and then looked at the radiant crowd, and said loudly: "From now on , you are a member of the Ziyiwei, I hope that you will be devoted to your duties under the rule of the Ninth Princess, eradicate the traitors, promote righteousness, and will not let me and the Ninth Princess down!"

"Eliminate traitors and promote righteousness!" The purple-clothed guards shouted in unison, which immediately infected everyone present, and everyone felt their blood boil.

No one noticed Gong Yuanhao in the crowd, and there was a gleam of unknown intention in his eyes.

The prime minister was expressionless, his eyes were slightly lowered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After instructing the purple-clothed guards to familiarize themselves with their respective workplaces, they quickly performed their duties. Qingyun took Emperor Huiwen's arm and came to her exclusive workplace.

Naturally, all the courtiers also returned to their respective government offices.

In the room, Emperor Huiwen looked at his beloved daughter who was sitting on the left hand side. Although she had been modified, a faint black halo was still faintly visible under the eyelids, and she was very distressed: "Jiu'er, don't hold on to everything, don't forget, you still have me and you. Uncle Leng, we are a family, no matter what happens, we will bear it together!"

"Well, let's bear it together!" Tightly holding the hands of Emperor Huiwen and Leng Yi, Qingyun's eyes were filled with mist, and his heart was full of emotion and warmth.

"By the way, Jiu'er, it's time to tell you about the Dragon Guardian Clan."

Qingyun looked straight at Emperor Huiwen upon hearing the words.

Although she had heard of the Dragon Guardian Clan in her previous life, she only heard its name but never heard of it, and her father never mentioned it to her.

Later, her father passed away suddenly, and when she heard the news and rushed to Mingde Palace in grief, her father had already passed away, and she didn't even see her father for the last time. Immediately afterwards, Uncle Leng was forced by Sima Chun... If you go, you will never know.

Originally, she thought that her father had handed over the dragon guard clan to Sima Chun. After all, when Sima Chun married her, he would naturally become the successor, but judging by Lin Yuemei's appearance, her father obviously did not do this.

After all, the father was on guard against Sima Chun, to be precise, he was guarding against the concubine and the prime minister behind Sima Chun, and even more so to protect her!

Following three high-fives from Emperor Huiwen, a figure strode up to the two of them and knelt down respectfully, saying, "My subordinates refer to the emperor, and to the nine princesses. Long live the emperor, and a thousand years to the nine princesses!"

"Be flat!"

When she saw that person's face clearly, Qingyun's face was filled with astonishment and sudden surprise: "So it's you!"
