Chapter 87 Murong Returns
Today is the 23rd day of the third month of the lunar calendar, not counting travel time. It has been seventeen days since Cang Hao and others arrived in Langzhou, and Murong Chen, who left the imperial capital for Yuecheng, has already returned to the imperial capital, which lasted for more than a month.

All the way back to Fengcheng, the door of his family's Murong Mansion had not yet entered, and he entered the palace non-stop, and met the most respected and noble empress aunt, and his father Murong Ting who just came from the school grounds.

It was noon, and the queen was still resting, so when Murong Chen asked for an audience, it was only natural that a court lady stood in his way.He whispered softly, the maid was afraid of disturbing her mother's nap and would be condemned, so she dared not let her go. Murong Chen was anxious and angry, and rushed into the palace directly, waking up his aunt as he wished, at this time she was kneeling on the luxurious and majestic Phoenix Hall plead guilty.

Naturally, the queen would not blame him.

Murong Chen came back from Yuecheng this trip, and brought back two pieces of news, one good and one bad, which made his aunt, queen, and father change their faces in shock while being joyful.

First, the most important purpose of going to Moon City this time was successfully achieved. The wealthy Jiyue Villa has promised to be the most powerful backing for His Royal Highness Feng Wang, and will do its best to provide food, grass, horses and medicinal materials.The queen couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth, and finally showed a satisfied smile, and secretly made up her mind that since the Han family in Cangzhou had become abandoned chess, it was time to get rid of Concubine Han's mother and son.

However, the second news brought by Murong Chen caused the smiles on the faces of the queen and her brother Murong Ting to fade instantly, and their expressions instantly became extremely ugly.

"Teng" stood up from the phoenix chair, and the good mood that the queen had just established disappeared completely. A pair of beautiful eyes stared at Murong Chen who was standing respectfully by the side in disbelief. The most proud leader of the younger generation of the family, if nothing unexpected happens, he will even soon become the next head of the Murong family.

If it weren't for the real and conclusive facts, he would never dare to bring the news to her.

"Four days ago...the imperial edict arrived in Langzhou...Su Yan and his son, who have been incompatible with the imperial court for 19 years...knelt to receive the imperial edict..." Gritting his teeth, he repeated the content of the news brought by Murong Chen word by word. Her face was livid, she clenched her slender fingers tightly one by one, and the sharp nails almost scratched her delicate skin, but she didn't realize it, and gritted her teeth and continued: "The imperial decree has been sent out of the palace, and it has reached thousands of miles away. In Langzhou, Bengong is still kept in the dark and doesn't know, this... root, root, no, can, can!"

Murong Ting also frowned deeply, puzzled: "Since the last time the emperor issued an order to assign the Moon King, our surveillance of the palace has become more stringent, and the emperor's every move is under control. It is indeed impossible to have an imperial order." It was reported outside the palace but we didn’t notice it. Besides, even if there was, it’s impossible to reach Langzhou in just four days.”

From the imperial capital to Langzhou, even if you travel thousands of miles a day on a sweaty and bloody BMW, it will take at least six days.

When the queen heard this, she was silent at first, and then took a deep breath. Her expression was still grim, but she was obviously a little calmer than before. She narrowed her eyes and said, "You mean, someone falsely preached the imperial decree?"

Murong Ting naturally didn't know the answer to this question, his eyes could not help but turned to his beloved son, asking with a smile in his eyes.

Murong Chen said: "Auntie, the imperial decree did not come from the palace."

This sentence made the Queen's face change slightly again, "What do you mean?"

Murong Chen respectfully said: "March [-] is the fiftieth birthday of Mrs. Langzhou Marquis. Many people in the rivers and lakes went to pay homage to his mother's birthday in the name of Mu Suche, and witnessed this event with their own eyes. The person who conveyed the imperial decree is a A beautiful woman, this woman is not only dressed strangely, but also has unfathomable skills, the princes of Lan Kingdom and Nanyue Kingdom did not hesitate to travel long distances to celebrate Madam Su's birthday, but they all fell into the hands of this woman."

The empress has been able to sit on the throne for more than twenty years, not only relying on superb means, hearing this at this moment, a bad premonition has already arisen in my heart.

She said blankly: "What is the content of the imperial decree?"

Murong Chen said: "Strip Su Yan's Marquis, and the Su family will no longer enjoy the hereditary position, but at the same time, Su Che, Su Yan's son, was granted the title of General of the Southwest Township, and he was given ten thousand taels of gold."

What is the purpose of this imperial decree? To win over the Su family in Langzhou, or to deter it? In front of thousands of people, if this imperial decree is fake, isn’t it afraid of being exposed? Who would be so stupid as to fabricate a false imperial decree at the price of ten thousand taels of gold?
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like someone falsely preaching the imperial decree with evil intentions, so, that is to say, the imperial decree is [-]% likely to be true.

Murong Ting's face was serious, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he felt that this matter was deeply strange.

Murong Chen looked at the empress and father, who both had ugly faces, and his face was serious, but he continued: "Auntie, Dad, there is another strange thing that we can never think of. The imperial decree brought by that woman, It was not an official edict that sealed the jade seal, but just an oral edict. Su Yan and his son didn't even have a word of doubt. Under the eyes of many shocked and inexplicable people, they bowed respectfully and bowed down. It seems that the grievances and grievances with the court for more than ten years It was just a misunderstanding, Langzhou is still Cang Yue's Langzhou."

But as we all know, Langzhou has regarded the court laws as nothing and the royal family as nothing in the past 19 years. , this behavior can also be regarded as treasonous.

Respectfully kneel to accept the imperial decree...

Murong Ting and the Queen looked at each other, and thought of a person at the same time, they couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring.

Murong Ting turned around, looked at Ai Zi, and said in a deep voice: "Chen'er, last time you said that you would drop by to investigate the whereabouts of the Moon King, did you get any results?"

After his father asked, Murong Chen suddenly remembered the news he had received in Yuecheng, and his heart was terrified. When he looked up, his expression could not hide his shock: "Father, Auntie Empress, the last news Chen'er received in Yuecheng was, Moon King happened to leave on the day that Hai'er had just arrived in Moon City, and the direction he was going...was exactly Langzhou."

What happened was too coincidental.

The anxiety in the queen's heart became more and more intense. She suddenly remembered the matter of mutilating the mother and daughter in the cold palace 11 years ago, and forcing the concubine Yue to death. The sealed Moon King is the biological son of the woman who had been with Leng Gong for more than ten years, the third prince of Xiaoyue Palace who has been called Yue Guifei's "mother concubine" for four years, and a young man who bears an unshakable hatred— — No, today's boy should have grown into a mature and stable adult man.

How old is he this year? The queen frowned and thought about it. He should be 27 or [-] years old. I remember that he is only less than one year younger than her son, the current Phoenix King. ability.

The queen suddenly felt like laughing, but the corners of her mouth were slightly twisted, the sharp nails almost pinched into the flesh, and there were traces of bright red blood oozing out, but she didn't realize it.

A ferocious and vicious light flashed faintly in the eyes, the queen's eyelids drooped, and she stabilized the trembling in her voice, which was caused by fear or excitement, and ordered each word to be spit out from her ruddy lips, with a fierceness that could not be resisted: " Brother, mobilize all the spies and dead soldiers in the palace and Murong's family to find out the whereabouts of the Moon King immediately, and before he returns to the palace, we must kill the grass and roots!"

Cutting, weeding, weeding, rooting, mistakes made 11 years ago must not be repeated today!
