Mo Zhenxuan was a great person, but now he said such melancholy words, which shocked Mu Ling'er's heart.

Mu Ling'er nodded and said: "Your Majesty, you were born in the royal family, so you cannot choose your destiny. Are there many unspeakable secrets?"

Ever since I met Mo Zhengxuan, although I felt that he was gentle and gentle, he seemed to be very unhappy and always full of worries.

"Ling'er, look at how magnificent this palace is. Sitting in my current position, I hold the power of life and death. Moreover, I am the ninth-five-year-old. It is a position that is envied by many people in the world." Mo Zhengxuan's handsome face showed a trace of emotion.

He said with a touch of ridicule, "But you have no idea that for me, this palace is like a cage made of gold, imprisoning my freedom."

After listening to Mo Zhengxuan's words, Mu Ling'er couldn't help but raise her head and look outside, only to see that there was still a raging fire outside, and it was still dark outside the courtyard.

She nodded and said: "Yes, this palace really looks like a cage now, imprisoning everyone's freedom. However, there are still people who are willing to stay in this cage and work hard to get to a higher position.

play hard."

"Yes, I am in the palace, and I am scared every step of the way. Even the women around me want to harm me. I could barely stay here before. But... now I want to escape from this place more and more.

." Mo Zhengxuan let out a long sigh, deep despair flashing in his dark eyes.

Mu Ling'er pondered for a long time and asked: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do now?"

"This time the sixth brother goes to pacify the border, he will definitely succeed. He is also ready to come back and take the throne. By that time, a large part of the military power will be in the hands of the sixth brother, not to mention the sixth brother has pacified the border.

The dispute will establish a high prestige in the country and the court. When he ascends the throne, he should be popular with everyone, so naturally there will not be so much controversy." Mo Zhengxuan said these words extremely calmly.

Mu Ling'er was silent, and then she realized that the emperor Mo Zhengxuan did not do it easily, and the bitterness in his heart was not something ordinary people could understand.

"Your Majesty, since you know everything, why don't you stop him?" After a long silence, Mu Ling'er finally asked.

Mo Zhengxuan smiled faintly, with helplessness and loneliness in his eyes, "The country is in danger, and the sixth brother is the best person to save the country. At this time, I have no choice."

Mu Ling'er was stunned for a moment, and admiration suddenly rose in her heart, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do next?"

"Next, I'll have to rely on you." A lonely smile flashed across Mo Zhengxuan's face, but there was also a hint of relief.

Mu Ling'er didn't understand, and asked with confusion: "Your Majesty, I don't understand, why do you rely on me? What do you want to do?"

Mo Zhengxuan did not answer her question directly, but smiled meaningfully and said, "Ling'er, after all these things are done, I can live the life I want."

What Mo Zhengxuan said was too general. Mu Ling'er didn't understand it for a moment. She just looked at Mo Zhengxuan quietly, feeling that there was too much helplessness in his smile.

"Ling'er, come here, I have something to tell you." Mo Zhengxuan smiled lightly, and after being silent for a long time, Mo Zhengxuan finally said with a smile.

Mu Ling'er was stunned for a moment, and finally lowered her body.

Mo Zhenxuan didn't speak much, but it took him a long time to finish. After finishing speaking, Mo Zhengxuan let out a long breath, as if he was relieved.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to..." Mu Ling'er suddenly raised his head, his beautiful face full of shock.

"Okay, I don't think those people have the patience to wait for such a long time. We can go out." Mo Zhengxuan stood up with a smile on his face.

Mu Ling'er hurriedly stood up.

Walking into the courtyard and looking at the dark night sky outside, Mo Zhengxuan turned to Mu Ling'er and said, "It seems that we have to arrange for you to stay somewhere else tonight."

"Your Majesty, why are you here? And why are you like this..." As soon as the two people walked to the door, they saw Shangguan Youlan who looked shocked, "Princess, you, why are you..."

Mu Ling'er smiled faintly and said: "I have seen the imperial concubine. Why is the imperial concubine coming to the cold palace so late?"

A hint of disappointment flashed through Shangguan Youlan's eyes, and she forced a smile and said: "I heard from the servants that the Leng Palace was on fire, and I was thinking about the princess, so I rushed over to take a look. I didn't expect that the emperor would be inside."

"I also saw the cold palace on fire, and thought that if something happened to the princess, my sixth brother would not be able to feel at ease at the border." Mo Zhengxuan said with a faint smile: "I am relieved to see that the princess is fine."

Mo Zhengxuan's tone was very calm, as if he was careless.

Shangguan Youlan had a sly expression on her face. Mo Zhengxuan's bright yellow dragon robe was in a mess and had been burned into holes in many places. His black hair was even stained with a lot of debris. He was far from his usual elegant image.

.

Thinking of Mo Zhengxuan risking his life and saving Mu Ling'er from Lengyue Pavilion, Shangguan Youlan felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

"What the emperor said is that the emperor has thought carefully, but I have been negligent." Shangguan Youlan had a sly smile on her face, "Your Majesty, I see that the princess has no place to live now, so why don't you go to me?

Let’s go to the bedroom, my concubine’s bedroom is big, as long as the princess doesn’t dislike it.”

Before Mo Zhengxuan spoke, Mu Ling'er smiled faintly and said, "It's better not to trouble the imperial concubine anymore. I can just find a place for the night. If I keep troubling the imperial concubine, I will be really honest in my heart."

Do not feel at ease."

There was something else hidden in Mu Ling'er's words. Shangguan Youlan's face turned pale, but she quickly forced a smile.

"My beloved, the princess doesn't want to trouble you. Don't think too much about it. It's getting late. You should go back and rest quickly." Mo Zhengxuan stood in front of Mu Ling'er and said to Shangguan Youlan calmly.

How could he not see the change in expression on Shangguan Youlan's face?

Mo Zhengxuan felt extremely chilled by the fact that this woman who had been sleeping with him for several years had such deep intentions.

"Okay, it's getting late. Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine should go back and rest." Mu Ling'er smiled at Mo Zhengxuan and Shangguan Youlan, then slowly turned and left.

Shangguan Youlan watched Mu Ling'er's back go further and further away, turned around and reluctantly smiled at Mo Zhengxuan and said, "Your Majesty, please go to my concubine's palace tonight."

There were complex expressions in her eyes.

"My dear concubine, it's getting late. You should take a rest early. I'm very tired, so I'm going back first." Mo Zhengxuan looked at her steadily for a while, then turned his head and melted into the darkness.

The moment Mo Zhengxuan turned around, Shangguan Youlan felt that she had caught something. When she thought about it carefully, she found nothing.

"Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace. It's getting colder and colder. Be careful of catching a cold." Seeing that Shangguan Youlan didn't speak for a long time, Jin Yue reminded her cautiously.

Shangguan Youlan raised her head, and a gust of cool wind blew by, making her flinch, and a touch of sadness arose in her heart.

"Okay, let's go back." Shangguan Youlan's tone was calm, but with a hint of desolation.

The two of them had just walked a few steps when they saw a little eunuch running towards them in a hurry, kneeling on the ground with a plop and saying: "My Majesty, your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Then hurry up and say it!" Jin Yue glanced at Shangguan Youlan and ordered the young eunuch sternly.

The little eunuch trembled all over and said tremblingly: "Yes, yes, your Majesty, the guards from the palace just came to report that Princess Rui has left the palace!"

"What did you say!" Shangguan Youlan's face suddenly changed color, and her body couldn't help but swayed a few times. She finally stabilized herself with Jin Yue's support, "You just said that Princess Rui left the palace? Then you guys

Why didn't you stop her?"

The eunuch was shaking even more violently, and said tremblingly: "Returning to the queen, I asked the guard the same thing. He said that the princess has the emperor's sign in her hand, and no one dares to stop her!"

"Then did you send someone to follow?" Seeing Shangguan Youlan's face turned pale with anger, Jin Yue asked the little eunuch in a low voice who was trembling with fear.

The little eunuch nodded desperately and said: "When I came to report to the empress, I had already sent someone to follow..."

"Okay, you go down. If you have anything to do, just report it to the empress." Seeing that she couldn't ask any more questions, Jin Yue impatiently waved her hand and told the little eunuch to go down.

The little eunuch was overjoyed, kowtowed several times in a hurry, stood up and ran away.

Seeing Shangguan Youlan's gloomy face and not speaking, Jin Yue whispered: "My dear, since this princess is holding the emperor's sign, she must have been authorized by the emperor. What should we do now?"

"Where can she go now? What does the emperor mean by letting her go out now? Could it be that the emperor already knows about my plan?" Shangguan Youlan frowned and murmured to himself.

Mo Qingyue went to the border, and when the time came for him to achieve great achievements, it would be more legitimate for him to ascend to the throne. But if he wanted the officials of the imperial court to submit, he would have to rely on Prime Minister Mu.

And Prime Minister Mu's weakness is Mu Ling'er. Now what is Mo Zhengxuan's intention of releasing Mu Ling'er, who was originally a hostage, from the palace?

Also, now that Mu Ling'er goes out, where will he go and who will he meet?

Shangguan Youlan frowned and thought for a long time, and finally said to Jinyue: "Let's go see the emperor now and see what the emperor says."

"Mother, this princess was let go by the emperor. If we go to find the emperor now, won't that make the emperor suspicious?" Jin Yue followed Shangguan Youlan with a worried look on her face and couldn't help but stop her.

Shangguan Youlan paused, turned to look at Jinyue, who was panting and following behind her, and said coldly: "What do you know! I am going to ask the emperor about Mu Ling'er's whereabouts just to test the emperor's attitude.
