The Crown Princess is reborn and returns to subvert the world

Jiang Renhe shook his head at Tian Muyu, "Prince Qiong sent someone to invite the emperor at this time, I'm afraid he has other intentions."

Tian Muyu took a deep breath and whispered, "He is my third brother after all, I still have to go meet him."

Ouyang Qingfeng frowned and lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, be careful."

Tian Muyu nodded and sneered: "Don't worry, I know what to do. After I leave, you two can continue to do your things."

After saying that, he straightened his robes, opened the door and walked out. There were several guards standing outside the door. When they saw him coming out, they bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, please follow us."

Tian Muyu followed the guards out of the yard, secretly alert in his heart. He knew that the next meeting with King Qiong would not be so simple. But no matter what, he had to face it.

In the night, Tian Muyu's figure gradually walked away and disappeared at the end of the corridor. Ouyang Qingfeng stood in the house and watched him leave, his eyes full of worry. He whispered to Jiang Renhe: "We must also be prepared. If something happens to Brother Tian, ​​we must respond in time."

Jiang Renhe nodded and tightened his grip on the weapon in his hand: "Understood."

At the same time, in the study of King Qiong, the candlelight was bright. King Qiong sat behind the desk, playing with a jade pendant in his hand, with a meaningful smile on his face. He murmured in a low voice: "Tian Muyu, I want to see how capable you are..."

Before he finished speaking, the door of the study was gently pushed open, and a guard walked in quickly, bowed and reported: "Your Majesty, the emperor has arrived and is waiting outside the door."

King Qiong raised his head, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes: "Oh? He came quite quickly. Let him in."

The guards withdrew in response, and a moment later, Tian Muyu walked into the study. He looked calm and composed, as if he had already understood everything in front of him. He bowed slightly to King Qiong, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Greetings, Third Brother."

King Qiong smiled and raised his hand to signal him to sit down: "No need to be polite, Fourth Brother, please take a seat."

Tian Muyu did not refuse and sat directly on the chair opposite King Qiong. The two looked at each other for a moment, and King Qiong spoke first: "Fourth brother, you are visiting me so late at night. I wonder what you can do for me?"

Tian Muyu smiled faintly: "Third brother, you are joking. It was you who sent someone to invite me here, why are you asking about me instead?"

Upon hearing this, King Qiong laughed out loud: "The Fourth Prince is still the same Fourth Prince, so straightforward. In that case, I won't beat around the bush." ​​As he spoke, he gently placed the jade pendant in his hand on the table and pushed it in front of Tian Muyu.

Tian Muyu looked down at the jade pendant, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "What do you mean, Third Brother?"

The jade pendant is a white jade pendant that is about the size of a palm. It is round like a full moon, and its edges are carved with delicate cloud patterns, as if flowing clouds are surrounding it. In the center of the jade pendant, there is a hollow carving of a phoenix spreading its wings, with its wings clearly visible and every feather vivid, as if it would flutter and fly high with a slight touch. The phoenix's eyes are inlaid with very fine gold wire, and even in the weak light, they are still flashing with golden light, making them look particularly smart.

"How come you have this in your hand?" Tian Muyu stared at Tian Muqiong, with no expression in his eyes.

Tian Muqiong held the jade pendant in his hand. On the back of the jade pendant was engraved a line of small seal characters, with simple and elegant handwriting. The content vaguely read "God bless my clan, and we will prosper forever." The handwriting was surrounded by several auspicious cloud patterns, which echoed the phoenix on the front, as if telling an ancient and mysterious legend.

"Fourth brother, you should know who this jade pendant belongs to, right?"

"How come it's in your hand?!" Tian Muyu's voice rose a few degrees.

"Third brother, please tell me why this jade pendant is in your hand?" Tian Muyu suddenly felt annoyed. This jade pendant clearly belonged to his mother, and Nanny Yu had clearly given it to Jixiang. How could it appear in Tian Muqiong's hands? !

Could it be that Tian Muqiong stole the jade pendant from Jixiang? !

When Tian Muqiong saw that Tian Muyu was anxious, he became even less anxious.

He played with the jade pendant in his hand, "I heard that the Queen can know some things about Concubine Rong's life by holding this jade pendant."

Tian Muyu was even more stunned. How could Tian Muqiong know all this? Jixiang's special ability was obviously known only to him and Nanny Yu!

"Did my third brother have someone steal this jade pendant from the queen?" Tian Muyu stared at Tian Muqiong coldly and reached out to grab the jade pendant.

Unexpectedly, Tian Muqiong suddenly took the jade pendant back.

Tian Muyu was stunned.

"Fourth brother, before you take back the jade pendant, you have to agree to one condition of mine," said Tian Muqiong.

Tian Muyu's eyebrows moved, his eyes fixed on Tian Muqiong, and his tone was a little alert: "What are the conditions?"

Tian Muqiong smiled slightly, he slowly stood up, walked to the window, turned his back to Tian Muyu and said: "Fourth brother, although you and I are brothers, you have been in Jiangnan for many years and know very little about the affairs of the court. You don't even know the reason for your mother's death."

Upon hearing this, Tian Muyu frowned even more tightly, and his tone was a little cold: "Royal brother, do you mean that I am not worthy of being the emperor's younger brother of this great dynasty?"

Tian Muqiong turned around, his eyes were sharp, "That's right. Fourth brother, you have been very smart since childhood, and you are good at both civil and military affairs. If it weren't for the incident that happened back then, you should have been a pillar of the court. The situation in the court is complicated now. Guo Ziyi and the Sixth Uncle have been secretly colluding with evil intentions. You are no match for the two of them."

Tian Muyu was silent for a moment, with a complicated look in his eyes. He lowered his head and looked at the teacup in his hand. The tea in the cup swayed slightly, reflecting his slightly tired face. After a moment, he raised his head and said calmly: "The Sixth Uncle is now living in peace in Southern Xinjiang and will not cause any more trouble."

When Tian Muqiong heard this, his face darkened slightly.

There was a hint of oppression in his tone: "Fourth brother, you must think clearly. This jade pendant means a lot to you. Don't you want to know the truth about your mother's death?"

When Tian Muyu heard this, a sharp light suddenly flashed in his eyes. He clenched the teacup in his hand, his knuckles slightly white, and his tone was filled with suppressed anger: "Brother, are you threatening me?"

Tian Muqiong shook his head and softened his tone: "Fourth brother, I am not threatening you, but reminding you. This jade pendant is not only a relic of your mother, but also the key to uncovering the truth of that year. If you agree to my terms, I will not only return the jade pendant to you, but also tell you everything you want to know."

Tian Muyu was silent for a long time, his mind was full of thoughts. He knew that what Tian Muqiong said was not false. Behind this jade pendant, there was indeed a truth that he had been pursuing for many years. And Tian Muqiong was taken care of by Concubine Shu and Kou Peilin, so he naturally knew some of the secrets.

But he will not give up the throne.

Although he did not want to sit in that position, the people of his country and the world needed a stable life, so he could only bravely shoulder this burden and try his best to create a peaceful world without war and disputes for the people of the Great Saint Dynasty.

Therefore, he would not allow Tian Muqiong to stir up trouble again.
