God Concubine Supreme

257

An Zhiyuan's heart skipped a beat.

For some reason, hearing this name from the mouth of the person above always gave him a very strange feeling.

Probably because, for many years in the past, Xiao Qianzheng was too indulgent towards the Mu Linghan brother and sister.

Everyone knew how much he liked the gifted twins.

If it wasn't for the birth of the two of them, how could the Mu clan, who had already lived in the last ranks of the imperial capital, rise up again?

Not to mention that Mu Feng got the command of Jiuge, Mu Qinglan was appointed as the fiancée of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince a long time ago!

This is all the fat that countless people stared at, but in the end, they were all taken away by the members of the Mu family!

From this, it can be seen that His Majesty loves them today.

Therefore, even though the leader of Jiu Ge has been replaced by An Binghuai, and Mu Qinglan died in the Zhongyuan Secret Realm, and he didn't even get the capital, His Majesty's attitude still made it impossible for them to ignore it.

Mu Linghan was kicked out of the Mu clan at that time, everything happened so fast, even His Majesty only found out about it later, and it is said that he gave Mu Zhongtian a good reprimand.

Now that I hear this news, it's hard not to think of something else...

Thoughts were flying in his heart, but An Zhiyuan's old face did not reveal anything.

He bowed his hands and saluted respectfully:

"Your Majesty, the old minister rushed into the palace this time because of this matter."

Xiao Qianzheng let out an "oh", and looked at him with interest, as if a little unbelievable.

"So, this thing is true?"

An Zhiyuan scoffed in his heart, His Majesty has so many means, how could he not know what happened to Jiu Ge? Those news can be hidden from others, but how can they be hidden from His Majesty?

This is also why An Zhiyuan directly chose to enter the palace without intending to hide it.

His Majesty must have been certain that that person was Mu Linghan, why did he ask such a question?

An Zhiyuan smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, the old minister is not in Jiuge, and he has not seen it with his own eyes, so he is not sure. However, from the news they sent back, it should be that Mu Linghan is correct."

Xiao Qian was staring at An Zhiyuan for a long time, his eyes became a little unpredictable.

"real?"

An Zhiyuan nodded and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I remember, didn't that child Ling Han say that his Yuanmai had been damaged? He was even kicked out of the Mu clan because of this, so how could this happen?"

Xiao Qianzheng's words were rather tactful, but An Zhiyuan knew very well that what he meant was to ask, since Mu Linghan was already a waste, why did An Binghuai still go to war like this? Firstly, Mu Linghan didn't seem to have done anything wrong, there is no need to arrest him, secondly, there are so many soldiers in Jiu Ge, and even An Binghuai himself is very strong, why use the city gate array?

An Zhiyuan is really like eating Coptis chinensis.

If it wasn't for his good-for-nothing son holding him back, how could he use his age to make such a fuss!

But for An Jialuo, he had to do this.

He can still tell which is more important.

An Zhiyuan sighed, his old face was full of sorrow.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is really not very clear about this matter. You also know that although we don't have much contact with the Mu family, we don't have any complaints. There is really no need to kill a young man like this. Although Binghuai is mediocre, but He wouldn’t be so ignorant, targeting Mu Linghan like this for the benefit of public interests! Which of the things he did could escape His Majesty’s eyes? Therefore, the old minister feels that although this matter is absurd, there may be hidden secrets in it... Everything, we still have to investigate clearly before we can draw a conclusion..."

Xiao Qianzheng did not speak, and walked behind the desk, seemingly in deep thought.

An Zhiyuan has always been cautious and usually doesn't talk too much, but what An Binghuai did this time is really absurd, and people from other families can easily use it as a handle to control the An family. If An Binghuai was severely punished, she would not be able to hold her head up again in the future!

"I also think this matter is very strange, since you also said so, then send someone to Jiuge to investigate!"

Just as Xiao Qian finished speaking, he picked up the pen and wanted to write the imperial decree.

An Zhiyuan watched, his eyelids twitched.

For some reason, he always had a very uneasy feeling in his heart.

An Binghuai is his son, he knows best, there must be a reason for him doing this this time.

And most importantly, this reason is very likely not so glorious!

My own son, I still don't know?

If His Majesty is really allowed to investigate like this, it’s fine if nothing is found. If there is really something...

It's too late!

An Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, and opened his mouth.

Xiao Qianzheng seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly raised his head to look at him.

"Old An, still have something to say?"

An Zhiyuan paused, then said:

"Your Majesty, the old minister is also very saddened by Binghuai's doing such a thing, but the old minister knows that the law will not be merciful. This is related to Jiu Ge, and it is also related to the entire Shengyuan Empire. However, the old minister still feels that he will not do it without a reason. This matter. This matter will probably spread in the imperial capital very soon, so this time, the veteran will support you in every possible way, and I just wait for you to help him clarify it yourself! The veteran is very grateful!"

What he said was impeccable and beautiful.

Xiao Qianzheng had known for a long time that An Zhiyuan was cautious and he was not that easy to deal with after all these years. He came to the palace in person today, even disregarding the fact that they would expose their informants in Jiuge, obviously it was urgent.

However, under such circumstances, he was able to hold back, and instead, he said such words, with extraordinary forbearance.

In this way, it seems that An Binghuai's behavior is correct.

Xiao Qianzheng laughed.

"What is Mr. An talking about? I believe you, I believe in An's family, and naturally I also believe in Binghuai! It's just that you are right, this matter will definitely cause a lot of commotion in two days, and I have to give an explanation. Since this matter involves the An family, then we should send a few people from the An family to go to Jiuge to investigate."

An Zhiyuan looked shocked:

"How did this happen!? Your Majesty! Isn't this a suspicion of favoritism—"

Xiao Qian straightened his face, and suddenly his face became more serious.

"Since I said so, I will naturally decide so! I know the principle of avoiding suspicion, so those people from the An family are just accompanying the investigation, and I will find someone else to take the lead."

An Zhiyuan was taken aback for a moment, then his face was full of gratitude, and he was about to kneel trembling.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is wise, and the old minister is very grateful!"

Xiao Qian waved a gentle force from his sleeve, and lifted An Zhiyuan who was about to kneel on the ground.

"An old man is polite. Everything will be discussed after the investigation is clear."

Only then did An Zhiyuan stand up, wiping his sleeves at the corners of his eyes.

"Don't talk about it." Xiao Qianzheng narrowed his eyes, "I heard that Dean Sun will take Beitang and Jialuo out next year, do you know about this?"

An Zhiyuan had a loving smile on his face.

"Jia Luo has already returned home, and has already told this matter to the old minister. In fact, the old minister is very flattered. I didn't expect that Dean Sun would be willing to take Jia Luo out together..."

Xiao Qian was laughing out loud.

"Haha, your precious granddaughter is a top genius in the imperial capital. Dean Sun has always loved talents, so it's normal to bring her along. Besides, she hasn't had a contract beast yet, so she just happened to go out with Beitang to see if there is any." Appropriate. If you encounter a great opportunity, it will be a good thing!"

Speaking of An Jialuo, the smile on Xiao Qianzheng's face was obviously a little more sincere.

He is also very satisfied with this future daughter-in-law.

In the imperial capital, there are many aristocratic families and various influences. I don't know how many people are watching the position of Xiao Beitang's fiancée.

But An Jialuo is generous, decent, talented, and extremely beautiful. She is indeed the most outstanding one.

"Jialuo is really a wonderful child."

Hearing what Xiao Qianzheng said, An Zhiyuan felt more at ease. Originally, he was worried that His Majesty would compare Jialuo with Mu Qinglan. Now, it seems that His Majesty is very satisfied with Jialuo. .

"Your Majesty, Jialuo still has a lot to work on."

An Zhiyuan said with a smile.

Although Mu Qinglan's talent is better, but her personality is arrogant and domineering, wanton and arrogant, and she has offended many people in the imperial capital.

On the other hand, Jialuo is gentle and polite, and has good friends with many people, which Mu Qinglan can't match.

An Zhiyuan thought so in his heart, when he heard Xiao Qianzheng say:

"Actually, that kid Qinglan, it's a pity..."

An Zhiyuan's eyes drooped slightly, covering his thoughts.

"However, fortunately, the fourth child likes Jialuo very much, and the two of them hit it off, which makes me feel at ease."

An Zhiyuan laughed.

"Your Majesty's words are very true. This is the honor of the An family, and also the honor of Jialuo."

…

The desert is hot during the day and very cold at night.

As the orange-red sun slowly set, the surrounding light gradually dimmed.

And the temperature gradually decreased.

Mu Qinglan couldn't help shivering, and frowned slightly.

She knew that the desert climate was extreme, but she did not expect that the Dragon Cave Desert was more powerful than imagined.

There is a wind blowing, and it hurts the face.

Mu Qinglan wiped her face, her hands were cold.

She opened her eyes slightly:

"It's snowing in this desert at night?!"

Jiang Dayuan and the others on the side also had serious faces, but when they heard the sound and looked over, they were surprised to see Mu Qinglan's surprised look, and all laughed.

The third young master has always been in front of the mountain collapse without changing his expression, but he didn't expect that there are things he doesn't know.

"Third Young Master, that's not snow, it's hail."

Mu Qinglan froze for a moment, then moved her fingertips slightly, and it really felt like small ice particles.

Really hail.

"This is still outside. If we go further inside, the hailstone will be as big as a fist!"

Zhao Qingshan and the others turned around and said.

Mu Qinglan raised her eyebrows.

It seems that there are indeed many secrets hidden in the Dragon Cave Desert...

At this moment, he suddenly heard a cold voice from behind.

"come over."

Mu Qinglan suddenly rolled her eyes secretly, turned her head lazily, raised her chin slightly, and stared at Yun Yi.

"What's wrong?"

Yun Yi stood with his hands behind his back, the corners of his clothes fluttered with the wind, his appearance was peerless, like a banished immortal.

Even in this increasingly dark night, he is still the one who catches people's eyes the most.

Some people don't need to say anything, they don't need to do anything, just stand there, and they can become their own scenery.

Unfortunately, Yun Yi is such a person.

Seeing Mu Qinglan's impatience, Yun Yi didn't even get angry, and just pointed to a location under a sand dune.

"I'm going to rest here tonight."

Mu Qinglan reacted for a while, but didn't understand what Yun Yi meant,

"…so?"

"So, you have to be here too, with me."

Mu Qinglan's eyes widened: "Why!?"

In the past few days, Yun Yi hasn't said anything like that, what happened today——

However, Yun Yi had already turned around and walked towards the resting place he was looking for. Hearing Mu Qinglan's rhetorical question, he only glanced back at her lightly.

"I am cold."

Mu Qinglan: "..."

"I remember you have a fire on you, right? Come and help me make a fire."

Mu Qinglan: "..."

"Also, you have to stay by my side at night. Otherwise, if you encounter danger, the injury will get worse."

Mu Qinglan: "..."

Yun Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and raised his chin.

"Not yet."

Mu Qinglan: "..."

What Yun Yi said seemed to be right, but why did she sound so wrong? !

Yun Yi's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, the black eyes almost swallowed up the last ray of the setting sun, unable to see the deepest part.

"In short, don't stay ten steps away from me."

The second watch and the third watch are around five or six o'clock.
