The two suspected that Tian Muhuan was being targeted, and they were indeed right.

That night, several men in black approached the Xuanyi Pavilion, but when they were about to go in to look for Tian Muhuan, they were stopped by the secret guards.

Seeing that they were no match for their opponent, those few people did not want to fight any longer and quickly withdrew and fled.

Jixiang and Tian Muyu both frowned when they heard the news.

"Who would want to kill him?!" Tian Muyu was puzzled. "Sixth uncle has returned to Fengyu County. Could he be his man?" He shook his head and denied it. "He only has this one son. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs."

Jixiang had other ideas, "What if Tian Muhuan is not his son?"

"No?" Tian Muyu was even more confused, wondering why Jixiang thought so.

"Think about it carefully. When Prince Duan went to Fengyu County, why didn't Lan Ruyun follow him? They had a son after all. Even if Lan Ruyun was not his love, they should have stayed together. But he didn't let her go, and she refused to follow him south, even kneeling down to beg me for this."

Thinking of the scene at that time, Jixiang still sighs.

When it was decided that Tian Qiquan would be sent to Fengyu County, Lan Ruyun, as his woman, naturally had to go with him. Unexpectedly, when the imperial edict was delivered to her, she almost kowtowed and begged to move to the imperial study.

Her words at that time were still vivid in their minds, "Your Majesty and Queen, I would rather die than follow Tian Qiquan south!"

"But you are his queen."

"No, I have always been the concubine of the late Emperor Li Kangdi!"

Tian Muyu had no choice but to look at Jixiang.

Jixiang stepped forward to persuade, "Your Majesty, if you follow the Sixth Uncle south, your life will not be too difficult. Otherwise, if you insist on staying, your Lan family has been confiscated by the emperor, and you have nowhere to go."

"I would rather die!"

"What about the second brother? What would he do if he knew that you committed suicide before he came back?"

After hearing about her son, Lan Rujun finally softened a little. Later, under Jixiang's persuasion, she insisted on staying in the capital and refused to go south. Jixiang and Tian Muyu then considered her relationship with Tian Muhuan and arranged to keep her in the harem, but did not give her a title.

Because of Lan Ruyun's attitude at the beginning, Jixiang thought about it and said, "The behavior of these two people always feels weird."

"Sixth Uncle doesn't like women. After Lan Rujun found out, she naturally didn't want to get entangled with him anymore. It's understandable."

Tian Muyu didn't think there was anything suspicious about this, "But if the son wasn't his, why didn't she deny it at the time?"

"You know, because he knew that Tian Muhuan was not his son, he had a knot in his heart until his death. If Lan Rujun knew that her son was not his, why did she acquiesce? Even if she had said it at the time, I would have given her a title like I did to Consort De and the others."

Jixiang pondered, "This is what I want to verify. Let Xie Dongnan keep a close eye on him these few days. If those people don't want Tian Muhuan to live, they will come back naturally."

Tian Muyu nodded.

Because Tian Muhuan appeared in the capital, Jixiang's plan to go to the northwest naturally had to be put on hold for a while.

After Jiang Peipei found out, she volunteered, "Cousin, let me go. Although my brother and Senior Ouyang have been there before, they are both men and are definitely not as good as a little girl like me in getting information. I will go find King Qiong."

"I'll go too!" Princess Linglong's voice came in, "Sister, you said that women can't be inferior to men. Since Young Master Jiang and the others haven't found anything, let us women go and give it a try."

Princess Linglong believed that Jixiang was her elder sister and refused to change her mind. Even when the King of Annan and the Princess of Annan forced her to call Jixiang the Queen, she insisted that calling her the Queen made her feel distant and that she was more intimate with her as her elder sister.

When Jixiang knew about this, she also liked Linglong calling her sister. So, the three sisters did not become estranged because Jixiang became the queen, but became closer instead.

Seeing that Jixiang was about to object, Jiang Peipei quickly said, "We have Maodan, and I will bring guards with me. The princess is also protected by the secret guards in the mansion. Don't worry, nothing will happen. We will not reveal our identities outside."

Jixiang agreed. Although women in this era were not encouraged to go out too much, she believed that women should not stay at home all the time, but should go out more and see more.

Even if they would not gain anything from searching for Tian Muqiong, it was still necessary for them to go out.

Because of auspicious reasons, Tian Muyu couldn't stop it, nor did he want to stop it.

However, before Jiang Peipei left, the old man and old lady of the Jiang family went to Beijing under the leadership of the eldest uncle of the Jiang family.

Moreover, this time they moved north with their entire family.

Mr. Jiang’s words were very clear, that is, he would support Jixiang. Even though their Ji family had fallen, there was still the Jiang family. The Jiang family would protect Jixiang and the three babies in the future.

When Tian Muyu saw this, he felt as if he had bullied his wife, so he quickly assured Grandpa Jiang, "Grandpa, I have already promised Jixiang that in my life, I will only have Jixiang as my wife, and I will not marry another person. And I will definitely do what she says, and even if she doesn't say anything, I will understand her meaning and do it completely!"

Madam Jiang had never expected that an emperor would treat his niece like this. Her originally serious face immediately lit up with a smile. She took Jixiang's hand and said, "Okay, okay. We are relieved that the fourth son can still treat you like this after becoming the emperor."

"Don't worry, old woman. I'm not very happy!" The one who said this was the old lady of the Qi family.

Tian Muyu didn't expect that this time it wasn't just one family coming, even his grandmother was there, he couldn't help but look outside quickly, it turned out to be a big family coming outside in a lively atmosphere.

Seeing this, Jiang Peipei grabbed Princess Linglong and tried to escape, but was caught by someone.
