Ruan's wife is pregnant

Chapter 266
Back at the Yanhua Building, Mu Yizuo was already waiting.

The people around Mu Yizuo saluted Mu Yifei and left the room one after another. At the same time, Ruan Cailing also heard the final news.

Mu Yizuo is already the prince.

It is the imperial decree issued by the emperor in the court today.

"How is father? I was fine when I left the palace, why did I suddenly get sick?" Mu Yifei rushed over when she saw Mu Yizuo, grabbed Mu Yizuo's hand and asked.

Mu Yizuo hugged Mu Yifei with one hand, and looked up at Gu Jinxi and Ruan Cailing.

"Before, the Anshen Decoction that my father drank every day was tampered with, but because the dose was not large, it was not found out. By the time the toxins had slowly accumulated in the body and could be detected by the imperial physician, it was already too late. Father won't let me tell you." Mu Yizuo looked at Mu Yifei.

Mu Yifei's eyes were filled with tears, but she still tried her best not to cry.

She raised her hand to wipe her tears and said to Mu Yizuo, "Then I'll go back with you to take care of my father in a while."

"No, today I am also ordered to leave the palace."

After everyone was seated, Mu Yizuo said that he had received the news that Mu Yichen had privately summoned troops at the border, and even Mu Yichen secretly met with the Crown Prince of Shengguo, as if some agreement had been reached.

Prince Sheng.

Ruan Cailing and Gu Jinxi looked at each other, and Ruan Cailing said, "We wanted to tell you about this after we came back, but we didn't expect so many things to happen at the last minute."

"What's the matter?" Mu Yizuo asked.

Gu Jinxi told Mu Yizuo about Chen Heng's identity and the deal between Sheng Guo and Mu Yichen.

He didn't expect that the contact between Mu Yichen and Shengguo had lasted for so long, and even the disappearance of the prince of Shengguo was related to Mu Yichen. It seems that Mu Yichen's coveting of the throne has lasted for more than ten years .

"Father heard the news that Duke Ding was injured, and understood that the matter of the salt tax was related to the ninth brother. Now, except for Duke Ding and his party, the others in the court are recommending Wang Tingyu and Xie Qingyuan."

"Why is it still related to Xie Qingyuan?" Ruan Cailing asked suspiciously.

Mu Yizuo glanced at Ruan Cailing. He knew that Ruan Cailing didn't like Xie Qingyuan, and even hated him. She also believed that Xie Qingyuan had a relationship with Mu Yichen. It can also be seen.

Xie Qingyuan was Mu Yichen's last bargaining chip in the capital.

"They recommended Xie Qingyuan, and Wang Tingyu was just a wedge, throwing bricks to attract jade."

From the very beginning, Xie Qingyuan, the plague in the border town, was eager for quick success, but couldn't stabilize the situation and rushed back. It was Mu Yichen's plan to replace Wen Rushi, Gu Jinxi and others.

Although Ruan Cailing and Gu Jinxi are back now, Wen Rushi was left in the border town just like Mu Yichen's calculation.

But the imperial court in the capital was in chaos.

The matter of salt tax is the top priority, Wen Rushi can't come back in time, Ding Guogong is injured again, apart from Xie Qingyuan, there is probably no one else who can take up the post of inspector.

Even Cheng Lisheng was also a bargaining chip used by Xie Qingyuan.

With a "bang", Ruan Cailing threw the teapot on the ground directly.

Mu Yichen!
He calculated the world in his mind, and he actually included all of them in one ring!
Ruan Cailing took a deep breath, stood up, and walked to the window.

"What should we do now?" Mu Yifei asked.

Standing by the window, Ruan Cailing quietly looked at the opera singer in the middle of the downstairs who sang softly and passionately.

They are like a play, everyone is trapped in it, and Mu Yichen, who is far away at the border, can count all of them, not one person is left behind, even they will take Wen Rushi to the border town. Feeling guilty, and also thought of it, she would leave with the government doctor.

In this way, if Ruan Qi was injured, the government doctor would not be able to treat him immediately, and he might die.

Now even if Ruan Qi is not dead, he will not be able to go to court in a short period of time. Gu Yu's own power in court is really weak.

As the crown prince, Mu Yizuo is now helping the emperor to oversee the country. If something goes wrong, he will definitely not be able to keep the position of crown prince, let alone ascend to the throne.

"I think Mu Yichen wants to force the palace, and he doesn't want to plot against Mu Yizuo at all." Ruan Cailing said calmly.

Mu Yizuo also thought of this.

Just like father's current situation, it's not clear whether he can last until Mu Yichen comes back.

Taking a deep breath, Ruan Cailing already had a plan in mind.

She turned to look at Mu Yifei and Mu Yizuo, and suddenly asked, "You didn't go out of the palace today just to tell us that you became the prince, right?"

"I want to talk about Chunhui and Ruan Xuchen's marriage."

The emperor was seriously ill. If he died, he would have to observe a national mourning for three years. The common people had to sneak around when they got married, not to mention the princess Mu Yifei and his son Ruan Xuchen.

Before leaving the palace, the emperor told Mu Yizuo that he wanted him to arrange for Mu Yifei and Ruan Xuchen to get married before he died, so that Mu Yichen would take the opportunity to embarrass Ding Guogong's family if he died.

As long as Mu Yifei marries into Dingguo Duke's mansion as a princess, then Ruan Xuchen will be the son-in-law. Even if Mu Yichen becomes the emperor in the future, Ruan Qi's family will have nothing to do.

This is already the most comprehensive that the emperor can do for Dingguo's family.

Use your own daughter.

Mu Yifei couldn't help but have a sore nose, she didn't expect her father to still think about them in the current situation.

The emperor also wanted to help Mu Yizuo find a wife who could stabilize his crown prince, but the most pleasing person didn't like his son, so he had no choice.

"Securing the crown prince is not easy!" Ruan Cailing said.

"What did you say?"

"You forgot, there is a former prince next to us, but now he has just lost power. If he returns to the prince and connects with our prince, then Mu Yizuo's position will definitely be stable." Ruan Cailing said.

The former prince, Gu Jinxi thought about it, and immediately thought of Chen Heng.

"You mean Chen Heng?"

Now the prince of the Sheng Kingdom is the one who harmed Chen Heng, so the first thing Chen Heng wants to do when he wants to return to the Sheng Kingdom is to kill him, but now it seems that the man is not very active, after all he and There is some connection between Mu Yichen.

Ruan Cailing heard from Gu Jinxi that there are several princesses in the Sheng Kingdom, and the only princess Yu Xuan who is the most favored has not yet married.

If the princess with the highest status can marry Mu Yizuo, then Mu Yizuo's status will be considered stable.

"It's fine if you count the throne, why do you count my happiness?" Mu Yizuo felt helpless.

He has already figured it out, sitting in the position of the prince, there are too many things to give up.

If marrying one person can stabilize the country, he would rather do so.

Ruan Cailing shrugged, "There is no way, Your Highness, you have just ascended to the position of prince, and your foundation is not stable. Mu Yichen is joining forces with the prince of Shengguo to keep an eye on the Chang Dynasty. This is already the simplest way."

However, Chen Heng has not yet arrived in the capital, so this matter still needs to be discussed.

Fortunately, although the emperor's body is weak, his life may not be in danger within a day or two. He gave Ruan Cailing and the others time to cultivate and discuss. The people in the palace are used as chips in the palace.

When Su Wanyue came to look for Ruan Cailing, the news that the emperor was seriously ill had already caused a storm in the city.

The entire capital was discussing whether to change hands, and whether the final winner would be the current prince or the Ninth Prince who was sent to the border.

Su Wanyue was not interested in these things, she wanted to follow Liang Qi to the battlefield, but Su Benyan refused.

She is a martial artist, unable to go to the battlefield, and waits for news in the boudoir every day, so she is naturally unconvinced.

"Aren't you thinking about your senior brother? Why are you arguing to go to the battlefield with Liang Qi again? It's an eventful time, don't make troubles." Ruan Cailing brought Su Wanyue a cup of milk tea, warm and steaming .

Su Wanyue glanced at it, but it didn't mean much.

"I'm a senior brother. It's already agreed. He will enter the rivers and lakes and I will enter the imperial court. I will never see each other again. The same goes for Liang Qi and I... Sigh, it's all troublesome to talk about. You and Brother Ruan have been away for so long. Jingcheng is also very troubled, I don't have any affection for Liang Qi anymore, but...I'm sorry for him."

The joy when I was young, but now, it is really not as serious as the family and country.

Fortunately, Liang Qi is not the kind of person who would persecute her. He only said that if there is no love between men and women, it is good to just be friends.

Anyway, she doesn't want Su Wanyue to avoid him.

Now that the imperial court is employing people, Su Wanyue wants to go to the battlefield with Liang Qi. The things and documents are all ready, but Su Benyan just refuses.

Since she was a child, Su Wanyue's ability to form troops has been revealed for the first time, but because she is a woman, Su Benyan is afraid that Su Wanyue's temper will cause dissatisfaction in the court, so she has been suppressing Su Wanyue's ability , just sent her to the mountains to practice martial arts.

Now that I have finished my studies, it should be time to defend my family and the country, and I am afraid again.

Liang Qi is already in command of the chief of the imperial guards, he can be called a vanguard general, and he also admires Su Wanyue's ability.

Mu Yizuo had mentioned this matter to her, but Ruan Cailing had too many things to worry about, so she forgot it.

"The love between men and women cannot be deduced according to common sense. In fact, Mu Yizuo is optimistic about your ability, but Mu Yichen has no intention of attacking. He can't recruit troops on a large scale. Your talent is already in Mu Yizuo's calculations. Medium." Ruan Cailing said.

With Ruan Cailing's words, Su Wanyue's heart was finally stabilized.

"You locked the married man in? I heard that Cheng Lisheng came to your house to beg for mercy, but you didn't see him behind closed doors." Su Wanyue said.

Ruan Cailing poured tea and nodded, Mrs. Cheng, Shen Yunyun and Cheng Xuan, these three have been locked up in the prison for two or three days.

After the court came down that day, Cheng Lisheng came to the door to intercede with Mrs. Cheng.

He bluntly said that his son and daughter-in-law can be locked up for a few more days to let Ruan Cailing calm down, but Mrs. Cheng is getting older, and I hope Ruan Cailing can be lenient.
