As soon as the stunning daughter-in-law opened her eyes, the abstinent prince pinched her waist and

As he spoke, he stroked the back of Bai Xianyuan's head affectionately: "You are all safe, and my heart is at peace."

Bai Xianyuan leaned into his arms, sat on his lap again, and asked him, "What did you do just now?"

Huan Chuan: "I brought the heads of several big families in the north over and took them to settle down."

Bai Xianyuan: "I thought you went into the palace with your father."

Huan Chuan said lightly: "He didn't ask me to go, he asked Prime Minister and Mu Qingfeng to go."

Bai Xianyuan: "I think...he might have a guilty conscience! He wanted to make Huanyi the crown prince, and he asked me to vacate the East Palace! I was thinking of a way to delay it for a few days, and you guys will come back!"

Huan Chuan was silent for a while and said, "Xie Ying told me everything that happened in the palace. That is, Wu Mi detained my mother."

Bai Xianyuan: "Wu Mi has a higher status than her, and the palace is a place where people are called Tiantian Yingying. Fortunately, Wu Mi has a place where my mother can be useful, otherwise she would not know what hardships she would have to endure."

Huan Chuan: "Yes, Ah Yuan."

Bai Xianyuan: "Huh?"

Huan Chuan: "Before I left, I arranged for General Fan to bring back a hundred thousand troops after cleaning up the remaining bandits over there. I estimate it will only take two or three months."

Bai Xianyuan: "Oh... Uncle Fan, are they all okay?"

Seeing that she didn't understand what he meant, Huan Chuan simply didn't say anything, so as not to worry her, he lowered his head and kissed her...

……

Palace.

The emperor asked Mu Yu and his son, "Why are you back again?"

Mu Yu replied: "The purpose of our going is to recruit surrender. The major families in the north and several uprising forces have already surrendered, so there is no need to go again?"

Emperor: "You are the prime minister, you have to go and see the situation yourself, and convey my importance to the northern family."

Mu Yu replied: "The patriarchs of the five great families in the north followed the prince back to the capital, and they will receive your decree immediately."

The emperor was silent for a moment, his face became more ugly and he said: "They are hardworking."

Mu Yu: "For such an important matter, they will naturally come to see the emperor in person."

Emperor: "What's the situation in the north now?"

Mu Yu: "I asked in detail, and several family heads said that His Royal Highness personally went deep into the dangerous land, contacted various families and uprising forces, and jointly raised troops to destroy the Tuoba clan. Then he divided the 20 Iron Armored Army into two groups , all the way to the north to clear the remnants of the Tuoba clan, all the way to wipe out a bandit rebel army who refused to surrender and burned, killed and looted everywhere. Now the situation in the north is quite stable, and it is finishing. On the way, the minister also discussed with the prince , when the old system is restored—”

"That's too far away!" The emperor suddenly interrupted him.

Mu Yu: "They are all here, so it's not too far away, right?"

"Father." At this time, Mu Qingfeng said: "We still have to test a few people first, whether they are loyal to the crown prince or the emperor!"

Mu Yu glanced at Mu Qingfeng and scolded: "Nonsense! Is this what you should say as a minister? The five clan chiefs have come all the way here. What we should do is let them dispel all their doubts. It would be better for you! Go instead. Questioning and testing? What's more, the prince and the emperor are father and son, what is the difference between being loyal to the prince and being loyal to the emperor?"

Mu Qingfeng: "Of course there is a difference. The prince has been missing for such a long time, and all his actions have not been reported to the emperor. I can imagine how distraught the emperor was at that time, but the prince ignored it. This is definitely not what a filial son and a courtier should do. thing!"

Mu Yu turned around and said angrily, "Kneel down!"

Mu Qingfeng knelt in front of the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, although what I said doesn't sound harmonious and pleasant, and everyone is happy, I still want to say that if things are different, there must be monsters! This matter is too weird. To the prince, I have to Defend!"

"Get up!" the emperor said, "Everyone has his own ideas. If you can tell the truth in front of me and don't hide anything, you are a loyal minister! I don't blame you! In the future, if you have any ideas, just tell me directly! "

Mu Qingfeng: "Yes!" "Okay, I understand the situation. You can go back and rest first!" The emperor said, "We will discuss the details in the morning tomorrow."

"Yes!" The father and son exited together.

As soon as he got home, Mu Yu called Mu Qingfeng to the Mu family's ancestral hall, pointed to the family motto hanging in the ancestral hall, and said, "Read these words!"

Mu Qingfeng: "Be loyal to the country and plead for the people."

Mu Yu: "But what did you do today? You are separating the emperor and the prince! This is what a traitor did! You are really amazing! Today, my Mu family has a traitor!"

Mu Qingfeng: "But you can't deny that I have spoken the emperor's heart!"

Mu Yu: "Only those flattering villains try to figure out the emperor's thoughts and try to take advantage of others! As a minister, you should serve the country and consider the overall situation! Ask yourself, what are you doing?"

Mu Qingfeng's tone was a bit cooler: "Father, I really think that the Crown Prince and Bai Hou have a problem! Shouldn't they say it out? If they don't have a problem, they will naturally be able to withstand the test."

Mu Yu: "What's wrong with him? You just want to say that he wants to rebel! Let me put it this way, if the prince wanted to rebel, no one could stop him before, and no one can stop him now! What's the use of that? ? It will only push our Mu family into a pit of fire! Can you think through your thoughts before speaking?"

Mu Qingfeng lowered his eyes and said, "Dad, I was wrong. I will be careful in what I say and do in the future."

Mu Yu took a deep breath: "I know that there is some estrangement between you and the crown prince. It was all that before, but now that you are the crown prince, you should think more about it in the future!"

Mu Qingfeng: "My son knows."

……

The next day, Huan Chuan got dressed, held Brother Yi in one hand, and held Bai Xianyuan in the other, and walked together to the entrance of the East Palace.

"I'm leaving first. I may not be back at noon today. It will be in the afternoon." Huan Chuan said, "Eat well by yourself."

Bai Xianyuan nodded.

"Brother Yi, goodbye to Daddy!" Huan Chuan teased his son.

Xiao Huanyi really learned how to bow with his two little hands together, which made both husband and wife laugh.

At this moment, a cold arrow shot unexpectedly.

Huan Chuan had quick eyes and quick hands. He stretched out his hand to block it and heard a "ding!"

Fortunately, he wears sleeve arrows in his sleeves all the year round.

"Over there! Chase him immediately!" Huan Chuan pointed in one direction.

Some of the guards quickly surrounded them, and some searched along the direction the arrow came from.

People caught it quickly.

……

Above the court hall, Huanchuan brought several patriarchs to meet the emperor and report the results of the battle to the emperor.

The emperor heard this and asked him: "You have been missing for many days. All of us thought that you might have met with misfortune. Why can't you send a letter back?"

Huan Chuan: "Father, if I showed some flaws at that time, my body might not be alive. I couldn't send the letter, so I didn't send the letter back."

The emperor smiled, and finally said, "Anyway, the result is good."
