Lord Prime Minister

Mu Zihuai was sitting on the carriage heading to Ji County, the wound on his lower body was getting more and more painful in the bumps, which made him somewhat regretful that he made a decision in a flash of thought.

"Sir, here we are."

The sound of the carriage sounded outside, Mu Zihuai responded, stood up cautiously, and got out of the carriage with a strange posture. A few years later, Jixian County is very different from when he left. Both sides of the city gate are planted Poplar, the emerald green leaves look pleasing to the eye in late autumn.

As soon as you enter the city gate, you can see the river, and the wide water surface is calm and waveless.Mu Zihuai walked towards the county government along the route he remembered. The dilapidated city had become more prosperous. The small vendors along the way were shouting, and the people coming and going had smiles on their faces.

The official at the gate of the county government office recognized Mu Zihuai as soon as he saw him, and greeted him full of joy. "This is Mr. Mu, right?" He stared at Mu Zihuai carefully, confirmed what he was thinking, and welcomed him into the door.

"Mr. may not remember me. I was there when the river was built."

Mu Zihuai smiled and nodded, "Is Magistrate Li there? I have something to ask him."

"Magistrate Li and a general surnamed Long have gone out, and they won't be back until later. General Long ordered that if the master comes, I will let you eat first."

"He knew I was coming?" Mu Zihuai asked, and then thought that Long Xiu had sent someone beside him, so the Gang brothers have been following him?

Mu Zihuai subconsciously looked behind him, but naturally he didn't see anyone.After waiting in the front hall for half an hour, Long Xiu and County Magistrate Li came back slowly.

"We went to find Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang has always felt guilty about what happened back then. He has kept the information for many years. He said that he is willing to go to the capital with us." Long Xiu sat sideways on the chair and looked at Mu Zi With high spirits, he seemed to be in high spirits. "By the way, why did you come to Ji County suddenly? The emperor agreed to your coming?"

According to the news from the Gang brothers, since Mu Zihuai entered the palace late at night, he didn't come out with an unhappy face until the next day, and then rushed over without stopping, but he didn't know what happened.

"It's nothing. I didn't like officialdom. Taking this opportunity, I want to resign." Mu Zihuai wrote lightly, but he had already made up his mind.

"You want to resign?" Long Xiu was surprised, thinking to himself that even if Mu Zi had such a plan, would the emperor let him go?

"The capital, I can't stay any longer." Mu Zihuai lowered his head, and the unbearable memories hit him again, making him feel a little suffocated.

Seeing that he didn't want to talk anymore, Long Xiu suggested: "Why don't you just stay here for now, Mr. Yang has to take care of the things in hand before you can leave. I heard that you were with the prince a few years ago... I came here for disaster relief, I never expected that this place has developed so prosperously, and it doesn’t look like there was a drought not long ago.”

"Isn't it?" County Magistrate Li, who was going to collect food, came in. Even though the drought had passed and Ji County had become more prosperous, he still looked unchanged, yellow and thin, and the official robes on him were empty. "It's all thanks to Mr. Mu and the emperor. Otherwise, Ji County would be a wilderness. Lord Long, Mr. Mu, let's go to the dining room with the villain."

And thousands of miles away in the deep palace, Huangfu Yunhua slapped the Lihua table with his palm, and a piece of letter paper fell from the table, and the shadow guard who was hiding in the darkness couldn't help but raise his heart.

I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion in vain, and people searched for it for so many days, but I didn't expect him to go to Ji County. Is it because Long Xiu is there?Huangfu Yunhua clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were half bloodshot, full of anger.

"Your Majesty, do you want to bring him back..." The frightened shadow guard, bearing the king's anger alone, suggested cautiously.

"Speak up!" He interrupted the shadow guard's suggestion sharply, it's not that he didn't think of this method, because Yimu Zihuai's temperament, if he is tied up forcibly, it will only get worse.There are other ways to get Mu Zihuai back.Huangfu Yunhua slowly loosened his clenched fists to ease the anger in his heart.

"Continue to send people to follow him, don't be discovered by him."

"Yes."

The faint shadows in the corner slowly dissipated, and only Huangfu Yunhua was left in Nuo Da's Heart Cultivation Hall. At this moment, the little eunuch's flustered voice came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager..."

Before he could finish speaking, the closed door was pushed open from the outside, and the queen mother, who was wearing a Longyueliu fairy robe and a golden hairpin with carved flowers on her head, walked in, ignoring the little eunuch's obstruction, and went straight to Huangfu Yun. Hua came.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager wants to see you, but this servant cannot stop me." Seeing that the Empress Dowager had already stepped forward, the little eunuch hurriedly knelt on the ground to apologize.

Huangfu Yunhua was gathering anger, but now he laughed. "You go down first."

"When will you choose a concubine?" The queen mother didn't intend to exchange pleasantries, and asked straight to the point, with a posture of pressing questions. In fact, she was indeed pressing the son who killed her own brother.

"Why is the empress so worried?" Huangfu Yunhua smiled and leaned back with a relaxed look. "Could it be that you are taking my seat with the prince?"

The Empress Dowager did not expect that Huangfu Yunhua had such thoughts in her heart, she was about to deny it, but then thought of the cruel things he had done, she swallowed the words again. "As the emperor, you always want to have children to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family."

Huangfu Yunhua looked at the Empress Dowager until he stared at her a little nervously, and then said casually: "Who told you that I want to spread branches and leaves for the royal family?"

The Queen Mother was stunned by his words for a moment, and for some reason, she remembered that male favorite from before, and heard that not long ago, she was conferred the post of prime minister.Could it be...

"Furthermore, I already have a child, and there will only be one such child in the future." Huangfu Yunhua took a brush and began to ink.

"When did you have it... No!" Halfway through the speech, the queen mother suddenly realized who Huangfu Yunhua was talking about, and sternly vetoed it. "He is not of your blood, and he is still the child of an outsider. Do you want him to inherit the throne?"

"Why is San Huangjie's child an outsider? Besides, he has already adopted my name, so he is naturally my child." Huangfu Yunhua said it as a matter of course, not caring what the Queen Mother thought. "Could it be that you think that when I grow old, I will be forced into the palace by my own blood, and my sons and daughters will kill each other? Just like us?"

The empress dowager's heart was shocked, and when she thought of the dead child, she felt bitter, but she absolutely did not agree. "Other things you can decide, but this matter, the state owns the state laws, and the family has family rules. The Ai family has never heard of an emperor with only one person in the harem and no heirs. In a few days, the Ai family will discuss with the queen, and the draft girl will be selected. palace."

"Mother's queen." Huangfu Yunhua put down the brush, and wrote a string of familiar names on the white paper on the table. "I am the emperor, so what about the laws of the country? What about the laws of the family? Have you forgotten how I got into this position? If you want to see what the cold palace is like, you can do whatever you want."
