He Lanxi tried to advise her a few more times but to no avail, he only hoped that she would listen to Chu Qingyao.

After separating with He Lanxi, Chu Qingyao was walking over, and a woman dressed strangely came over from the side. It looked like modern times had finished their cosmetic surgery, and there were many white cloths wrapped around the face of the knife.

On the other hand, the pair of eyes that were exposed seemed to be filled with deep hostility. Chu Qingyao did not care too much about it. She focused her attention on her face again. Could it be that there were people in this era who could undergo plastic surgery?

The woman, on the other hand, was flustered and quickly averted her eyes. He purposely slowed down his pace, waiting for Chu Qingyao to pass by before he glared at her back with a face full of resentment.

As soon as the two of them left, a bronze masked man came looking for the woman, "Who told you to come out? Do you know that this increases the risk? Come back with me, I want to make you my most perfect masterpiece. "

Seeing that the woman did not move, he pulled her away and threatened, "If you do not obey me, I will destroy your face, find another woman, cut her into beautiful pieces, and then watch her and your sweetheart fly off together."

"Shut up!" The woman's eyes were full of hatred, but she still followed the man obediently.

"Esteemed wangfei, why do I feel there's something familiar about that woman just now?" Seeing that they had already entered the Royal Mansion, the Seven Unique asked in doubt.

"She wrapped herself up to such a state that you could even tell she looked familiar. Is she interested in other beautiful girls?"

Qi Jue rolled his eyes at wangfei, what the hell was that woman doing to her? Wangfei, can you not tease me, I would rather like Qing Yi than …

The moment this thought popped into his mind, he was shocked. Stop it and tell yourself not to think about it. Qing Yi was the popular person by the princess consort's side. She was both beautiful and capable, and no matter how hard she tried, it would never be her turn.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Chu Qingyao was in high spirits and deliberately said, "Seventh Jue, why aren't you saying anything? Don't tell me you already have a lover? "

Qi Jue stopped moving, and his face turned red. Chu Qingyao happened to see it and said evasively, "In any case, you're not that old. If there's anyone you really like, tell me and I'll help you propose to them."

Qi Jue stumbled and almost fell to the ground. "Esteemed wangfei, your subordinate will go down to see if Your Highness has any orders." With a swoosh, he disappeared. It was likely that he had already displayed his movement technique to the extreme.

When Chu Qingyao returned to the Blue Luan Courtyard, she couldn't help but feel uneasy. After all, He Lanxi and Chu Yunmu were close, and it was extremely likely that they would become her sister-in-law. Could it be that the empress dowager had summoned her to the palace at this time, and there would be no further complications? "In a while, send someone to check on the movements in General He Lan's residence. See if you can find out the reason why the empress dowager summoned the princess into the palace."

Hong Tan agreed and quickly left. He went outside to find Qi Jue and had him arrange for a dark guard to go there. The secret guards were the best at this kind of thing. Their movements were fast and suited for eavesdropping.

Two hours later, Qi Jue came in with his guards. The guard looked unfamiliar as he gave her a formal bow. "Greetings, wangfei."

"He Lanxi came out of the palace?" She asked anxiously, "Have you found anything?"

"Princess, your subordinate didn't enter the palace, but I followed Princess He Lan back to the manor and heard his conversation with the Great General. The empress dowager wanted Princess He Lan to enter the palace and allow her to ascend to the throne."

Hearing that, Chu Qingyao was enraged, with Xuanyuan Xiao's stubborn look, how could he still want to marry He Lanxi? However, from the empress dowager's actions, it could be seen that she had given up on her support for her royal grandson, and had vowed to advance or retreat together with Xuanyuan Xiao, that paralyzed son.

It turned out that Her Majesty was also confused. No matter which grandson took her place, she was still the empress dowager and the most respected woman in the palace. Her way of handling it was tantamount to bringing about her own death.

When the seventh prince heard this, his face was also filled with shock. Had the empress dowager gone mad? A good grandson's position isn't better than a paralyzed son? "Esteemed wangfei, could it be that the empress dowager has a way to treat the emperor?" If he couldn't treat her, how could he marry a woman? He probably wouldn't even be able to do anything.

However, he felt that he was overthinking it. General He Lan was one of the Duke's men, the Duke would never agree to this. And Master He Lanxi, he probably won't agree to enter the palace even if he dies.

"Go and see if His Highness has the time to ask him to come over." Chu Qingyao felt that she should still discuss this with Xuanyuan Zhi and make preparations in advance.

The hidden guard turned around to look for Xuanyuan Zhi. When he came over, He Lanxi had also come over. brought Chu Yunmu in to see, but he was still wearing his mask.

Xuanyuan Zhi's gaze fell on Chu Yunmu's face, and said coldly. "Who exactly are you?"

When they were at Nine Moons Country, he had already noticed that He Lanxi's relationship with this person was not ordinary. Furthermore, according to the secret guard, this person had once come to the palace to look for Princess Hua-Yang.

"Your Highness, please forgive me." Chu Yunmu immediately knelt in front of him, and took off his mask.

Xuanyuan Zhi was silent for a while, his face cold. Chu Yunmu had an apologetic face, and said guiltily, "Yun Mu was originally under the care of the Duke in Ji Bei Bei. He helped me avoid the punishment of hard labour, but I still quietly left the army. There's really a reason for this. "Having kept it a secret from the prince for so long, Yun Mu is ashamed of how he helped me back then.

Seeing Xuanyuan Zhi's scary face, He Lanxi thought that he would be punished by the military, so he gritted his teeth and walked over to Chu Yunmu's side and knelt down, "brother Zhi, Yun Mu didn't lie to you on purpose, you will forgive him, okay?"

"Xi Er, you have your eyes on him?" Xuanyuan Zhi was so angry that she laughed instead. This was really something that a girl should not keep, she still hasn't married yet! Then we'll share the hardships. If He Lanhoude saw it, he wondered if he would die of anger.

He Lanxi's face reddened, "brother Zhi, I … I like him. "

"Xi Er!" Chu Yunmu berated her, "My prince, I pursued Xi Er first. Don't worry, Xi Er and I have always treated each other with respect, after that, I will personally go to the general's estate to propose marriage."

Chu Qingyao looked at Chu Yunmu with satisfaction. The reason he could say this was because he placed He Lanxi in his heart and thought of her reputation.

She looked at Xuanyuan Zhi, not sure if he would get angry or not. After all, Chu Yunmu was a deserter. If they really started to investigate, the death penalty wouldn't be considered low either.

Xuanyuan Zhi's face turned sinister. After a long while, she finally said, "Get up. This king will not pursue this matter out of respect for the wangfei." At this point, he sneered, "However, Chu Yunmu, I'm afraid that you won't be able to marry Princess He Lan that smoothly."

If General He Lan knew that his daughter was interested in Chu Yiqun's son, he would definitely disagree. With phase of Chu's personality, not many people in the imperial court were proud of him, especially the generals who scoffed at him and looked down upon him.

Chu Yunmu was pulled up by He Lanxi, then he bowed sincerely towards Xuanyuan Zhi to express his gratitude, "Your highness has done me the kindness of rebirth, Yun Mu will definitely not forget this for the rest of my life."

He Lanxi also thanked him, but in exchange, he was met with a cold and stern look. "Xi Er, pay attention to your identity."

As soon as he mentioned his identity, He Lanxi's face instantly turned pale white, and she cried out anxiously, "brother Zhi, you must save Xi Er! Xi Er doesn't want to marry the Emperor!"

Because Xuanyuan Xiao was a paralyzed child and he was not in Jingli a few days ago, he had suppressed a lot of things in the imperial court. Thus, when he was dealing with political affairs, if he did not meet with an emergency, the hidden guards would not disturb him. He was stunned. "Who made you marry the Emperor?"

"It's the Empress Dowager." He Lanxi anxiously pulled on Chu Yunmu's hand, "brother Zhi, if you insist that I enter your palace, then I'm willing to die."

Chu Yunmu had heard about this on the way here. He held her hand and comforted her softly, "Xi Er, Your Highness will eventually find a way. Don't be anxious."

Chu Qingyao gestured for the two of them to come over and sit down. "This is just a thought from the empress dowager. What's the emperor like now? He still wants to harm another girl?" "She's not afraid of forcing people into a corner. All the generals under the heavens revolt together."

Xuanyuan Zhi glanced at her, and continued, "What wangfei said makes a lot of sense. Xi Er, you don't have to worry, this time I will be the first one to disagree, and all of the warriors in Tian Qiong won't agree either."

"Your Highness, I have to say, the empress dowager had the military power in the hands of the Great General. She wanted to use He Lanxi as a link between the Emperor's fate and that of the Great General. How shameless. " Chu Qingyao had a look of disdain on her face.

"Seven Ultimate, find someone to keep an eye on phase of Chu Palace." Xuanyuan Zhi's expression was cold.

"Your highness is saying that someone from the House of the Minister of the Left is participating in this matter?" The Seventh Jue looked at Chu Qingyao.

"If there's no one urging her from behind, even if the empress dowager had those thoughts, she wouldn't dare to say them out loud." The first person Xuanyuan Zhi suspected was Beigong Ziyuan. This was because Chu Yiqun's fate was closely related to the emperor. Only if the emperor was good would the Zuo Xiang Fu be good.

furiously shouted, "brother Zhi, if Beigong Ziyuan provokes me, can I hit her?"

Chu Qingyao laughed and answered for Xuanyuan Zhi, "When the princess attacks, as long as no one recognizes her, it will be fine. However, with my big brother here, he probably won't let you do it. "

Although Chu Yunmu had never revealed his true identity, the noble aura that emanated from him could not be ignored. Furthermore, he seemed to have a grudge with Yuwen Jingrui, so it was easy for him to guess what it was.

Thinking about this, she started to worry even more. Her big brother was originally only the son of the phase of Chu, so General He Lan would never agree to let them be together.

He Lanxi was embarrassed by her words as she did not dare look at Chu Yunmu with a red face.

Xuanyuan Zhi said with dissatisfaction, "Chu Yunmu, this king will give you a chance to reveal your true identity. Otherwise, you can forget about marrying Princess He Lan in your entire life. "

Chu Yunmu stood up with a bitter smile and bowed to him, "Falcon Kingdom's Second Prince Yuwen Yunmu greets roasting king."

Other than the look in Chu Qingyao's eyes, everyone else was shocked. Especially He Lanxi who suddenly stood up and looked at him in disbelief. After a long while, she finally said, "You … How could you be from the Falcon Kingdom's royal family? "

Chu Yunmu had long anticipated that her reaction would be so intense, his heart tightened, as though he was about to lose her. He walked forward to pull her, but was dodged by her, "You still haven't answered me, how did you become a member of the Falcon Kingdom?"
