Chapter 155

The night was dark and thick, and the White Queen was awakened from her dream by the palace maid. She heard that the emperor had decreed to abolish the crown prince, and she was in a bad mood: "So suddenly? How could it be?"

"I heard that King Qinghe went to see the emperor when it was just dark, and that's it." Eunuch Ji knelt on the ground, "Empress, please be the prince's master!"

"Where is Concubine Degui?" The White Queen asked.

"Already on the way back to the palace, but the speed of the carriage is slow, I'm afraid we won't be able to arrive in Beijing until after the crown prince." Ji Gonggong said.

"What time is it and she is still slow!" The White Queen waved her sleeves angrily, "What is the emperor's reason for deposing the prince?"

Ji Gonggong lay on the ground and dared not speak.

Nanny Song whispered a few words to the White Queen, and the White Queen's face immediately changed: "Why did it leak?"

"I don't know, there's been no rumors these days, and suddenly..." Ji Gonggong said, "I'm afraid that King Qinghe has already set his sights on the prince! Otherwise, it wouldn't be so sudden."

The White Queen thought so deeply, she frowned and meditated.As we all know, King Qinghe is the emperor's favorite little brother, who was born later than Mu Cangyan.

And King Qinghe only wanted to be an idle prince, eating, drinking and having fun with his salary, and never cared about political affairs.How could he suddenly target Mu Chongyun?
"Empress, I heard that King Qinghe has been getting very close to His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince recently..." Eunuch Ji reminded at the right time.

The White Queen shouted: "Slave dog! Since you already knew, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I know I was wrong..." Eunuch Ji lowered himself even further, his forehead almost touching the floor, "I beg the empress to save the prince..."

"Forget it, I'm going to see the emperor now!"

Queen Bai hurriedly changed her clothes and hurried to Zichen Hall, but was stopped by King Qinghe outside the hall.He waved his fan and smiled: "Sister-in-law, Brother Huang has already fallen asleep, so please don't disturb me."

"Yun Shen, what's going on?" The White Queen asked in a swallowed tone.

"The deposed prince took advantage of his power to accept bribes, and it's fine to fill his own pocket. You should never sell private salt." Mu Yunshen spoke the most serious topic in the most gentle tone.

Salt is the livelihood of the people!
This industry is under the exclusive control of the Salt Department set up by the imperial court. One is to control the price of salt, so as not to deliberately raise the price of salt and cause national turmoil.Second, the salt tax is one of the important income of the imperial court.

As a prince, Mu Chongyun put his hand into the salt class for money!

The White Queen asked, "Is there any evidence?"

"The evidence of the crime is conclusive." Mu Yunshen said.

The White Queen's heart suddenly turned cold. She took a deep breath and said seriously, "That means he deserved what he deserved. However, I came here so late not only to inquire about the crime of the abolished prince."

"What else is the emperor's sister-in-law?" Mu Yun raised his eyebrows deeply and asked with great interest.

"Tomorrow is the engagement date of His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness. It is inconvenient for the Eldest Prince from Lanzhou to come to Beijing to congratulate him, so he sent Princess Yu to Beijing. This Palace is here for this purpose." The White Queen said.

Mu Yun was deeply surprised: "Master Yu is only six years old..."

"That's why I feel very distressed." The White Queen's eyes turned red as she spoke, "I want to go out of the palace to pick up Yu'er in person."

In this way, Mu Yunshen could no longer stop him, so he stepped sideways to give in.

The White Queen entered the Zichen Palace, and was stunned by the lingering cigarettes as soon as she entered.Emperor Jiayang sat cross-legged on the dragon bed and meditated, and the purple blood vine presented by Mu Cangzhuo was placed beside his imperial pillow.

This is not like the dragon palace of the emperor, but it looks like a Buddhist temple!

"Your Majesty?" The White Queen was terrified when she saw this kind of scene for the first time.

Emperor Jiayang slowly opened his eyes, and stared at the White Queen with displeasure: "You have affected me."

"Your Majesty." The White Queen hastily knelt down.

"Are you here to abolish the crown prince?" Emperor Jiayang asked, and before the White Queen could answer, he said, "As a crown prince, he dares to sell private salt, I will never let him go! Born in Huanyiju, he just can't get in." mesa!"

Empress Bai secretly rejoiced that she had received Mu Yunshen's suggestion just now outside the palace, and said: "The abolition of the crown prince deserves what he deserves, everything depends on the emperor's decision, and there is absolutely no difference between ministers and concubines."

When Emperor Jiayang heard this, his complexion became better.He put on his clothes and got out of bed, and ordered people to extinguish most of the incense in the temple.Ask: "Then you came here late at night, what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, Yan'er knew he was wrong, and he specially sent Yu'er to Beijing to celebrate the engagement of the Seventh Brother." The White Queen raised her face and looked at her emperor, "Your Majesty, can you let Yan'er go back to Beijing?"

"No." Emperor Jiayang flatly refused.

The White Queen's eyes turned red, and she said: "Your Majesty, although Yan'er has broken his leg, he is talented and broad-minded. If he is in Beijing, he will be able to relieve the Emperor's worries..."

"No need. He will stay in Lanzhou to recuperate well, and Lao Qi is also a man of great talent." Emperor Jiayang said.

The White Queen's smile froze on her face.

Sure enough, the emperor is going to train Mu Cangzhuo!
Mu Cangzhuo had deep thoughts to get Mu Cangyan out of the capital first, and then pull Mu Chongyun off his horse.He still held her criminal evidence in his hand, preventing her from attacking head-on.

If he is in power, is there still a way for her and Mu Cangyan to survive?

Absolutely not!

The White Queen's eyes flickered, and she said: "The position of prince cannot be vacant for a long time. I see that the third prince Mu Canglong and the fifth prince Mu Cangqi are also very good. Why don't they go to the imperial court and learn first..."

"Empress, have you forgotten that the harem cannot be interfered with? I'm not dead yet, so don't worry about establishing a crown prince!" Emperor Jiayang said angrily.

The White Queen understood that Mu Cangzhuo could not be the crown prince in a short time.In this way, she was relieved.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Yes, the concubine knew it was wrong."

At this moment, someone came to report: "Your Majesty, the deposed prince Mu Chongyun has arrived."

"Queen step down, I want to interrogate myself." Emperor Jiayang waved his hand majestically, and the White Queen had no choice but to step back.

She watched Mu Chongyun being escorted into the hall, but ignored his eyes asking for help, and walked past him.

Mu Chongyun's last hope was also shattered, it's over, he's over...

Concubine Degui who rushed to the palace saw the queen coming out from Emperor Jiayang, and knelt down with a plop: "Elder sister..."

"I can't help it." The White Queen sighed, "You don't need to beg for mercy, so as not to be implicated."

"Sister Empress..." Concubine Degui burst into tears.

"This matter was done by Mu Cangzhuo, King Qinghe just did it for him, there is no room for maneuver." The White Queen helped Concubine Degui up, "Go and confess your guilt. In the future, we will surely avenge this great revenge."

"Yes……"

------

In the early morning of the next day, Mu Chongyun's decree was officially announced.

Mu Chongyun's crime was tied to the lives of his two fiancées - it was a warning from the heavens that he was not worthy of inheriting the throne!

The abolished Mu Chongyun was demoted to a common man and sent to Ning Guta.The birth mother, Concubine Degui, was ineffective in teaching her son, so she was demoted to slavery and returned to work in the clothing bureau.

For a time, the ruling and opposition parties were in an uproar.

Everyone thought of one: Mu Cangzhuo.

Although there is no place for him in the imperial court, all the changes started after he returned to the country. Could it be that he is about to take over?

When people were talking about him silently, Mu Cangzhuo had already gotten up early to practice martial arts.

The fierce sword seems to be able to cut through the darkness before dawn, just like his firm heart.
