Make peace with the Lord of the Prairie

Although Mingheng still did not get rid of Lin Qiong's surveillance, the arrival of He Zexi at least allowed him to get rid of the helpless situation of the caged bird and learned a lot of amazing news.

He Zexi entered the palace this time pretending to be Tuobahong, and Tuobahong also entered the palace with a purpose this time, not purely for Ming Heng.This made Ming Heng heave a sigh of relief, at least he didn't have to pretend to be in love with He Zexi frequently.

On the second day of He Zexi's stay in the Chonghua Palace, Emperor Qianyuan personally visited the two of them, and greeted He Zexi with kindness and joy throughout the whole process, as if he had come out of the pain of losing his son.

Mingheng did not overly participate in the conversation between the two, and spent most of his time sitting beside He Zexi while listening to the conversation between the two, while secretly observing Emperor Qianyuan's expression.

Ever since he learned the truth about the second prince's murder, he could no longer treat Emperor Qianyuan the same way as before.Fortunately, the father and son were not very close, and Emperor Qianyuan didn't seem to notice anything strange about him.

Emperor Qianyuan stayed in Chonghua Palace for an hour before getting up and leaving.Mingheng and He Zexi sent him out of Chonghua Palace.

Before leaving, Emperor Qianyuan patted Mingheng on the shoulder and told him: "King Yerou rarely comes to Anling, so you should take him around the capital these days. Oh, yes, since King Yerou is here , then I will withdraw the Imperial Forest Army, in order to use the king's skills, I am afraid that all of my Imperial Forest Army will not be his opponent. I believe that he can protect you well."

Ming Heng stood there dumbfounded, unable to react for a while.When he came back to his senses, Emperor Qianyuan and the Yulin Army had disappeared.

Ming Heng was a little confused, scratched his head and asked He Zexi in confusion: "Why did the father suddenly withdraw people?"

He Zexi didn't quite understand Emperor Qianyuan's intentions, but he didn't relax his vigilance, always feeling that things would not be so simple.

However, Ming Heng obviously has no time to think about these things at this time. He has been confined in the Chonghua Palace for more than a month, which also means that he and Tuoba Hong have not seen each other for more than a month. The situation of giving birth made him worry to the peak, and he couldn't help it for a moment, he couldn't wait to see Tuobahong.

When Mingheng thought that he would see Tuobahong soon, his heart surged, he turned around and walked quickly back to Chonghua Palace, shouting as he walked: "Little fan! Prepare the car! I want to leave the palace!"

After receiving the order, the little fan quickly went to prepare the carriage, obviously it wasn't just Ming Heng who was going crazy.

Fortunately, when everyone was immersed in the excitement of finally lifting the ban, He Zexi still retained his sanity.He grabbed Ming Heng's hand and asked softly, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to see him." Ming Heng said firmly, "I'm going to see him in Jingheyuan!"

He Zexi frowned, with a disapproving expression, and reminded with a suppressed voice: "The fact that the Imperial Forest Army guarding the Chonghua Palace has withdrawn does not mean that the people in the dark have also withdrawn. It is not suitable to go to Jinghe Garden now."

After being reminded by He Zexi, Ming Heng finally calmed down, and the joy on his face was replaced by seriousness.

He Zexi was right. Although the Imperial Forest Army around the Chonghua Palace had withdrawn, there was no guarantee that someone would still be watching them in the dark, maybe just waiting for them to show their feet.

Ming Heng closed his eyes and settled down.He didn't know whether his father had discovered the secret of Tuobahong's life experience, but he must have some information, and perhaps the withdrawal of the Imperial Forest Army was also his means of trying to catch him.He really couldn't go to Jinghe Garden at this time.Tuobahong's body is special now, he can't let him take even the slightest risk.But--

He really misses Tuoba Hong very much, misses him and worries about him.

Just when he was wandering around the yard in a hurry, he went out to prepare the carriage and the little fan came back, and brought back a little eunuch with a round face.

The little eunuch went to the yard and knelt down to salute him: "I have met His Royal Highness King Hui, King Yerou."

Ming Heng tilted his head to look at the little eunuch, suddenly let out an ah, pointed at him and said: "You are the little eunuch next to the emperor!"

"Yes, Your Highness is wise. This servant is Xiao Haizi from His Royal Highness Su's residence." The little eunuch named Xiao Haizi said, "His Royal Highness Su has already prepared fine wine at the residence when he heard that King Yerun came to the capital. I want to have a talk with His Highness and King Yerun.”

Ming Heng and He Zexi looked at each other, the corners of their mouths slowly raised.

Uncle Huang came just in time.

Ming Heng smiled lightly, and said: "Since it is the invitation from the emperor's uncle, my nephew naturally has no reason to refuse, please go back and report, Ming Heng and King Yerun will go there later."

Xiao Haizi took his orders and left.

Not long after the child left, Ming Heng took He Zexi and Mo Jia out of the palace to Su Wang's mansion for a banquet.

Although they didn't know why King Su was so coincidental and invited them to the mansion as soon as they left, Mingheng believed that he would not harm them because of his trust in the emperor's uncle.

The carriage wobbled to the gate of the palace and was stopped by the guards at the gate for inspection.This time Ming Heng went to Su Wang's mansion for a banquet, so naturally he didn't need to hide it, he just showed his face in a big way.The imperial guards didn't make things difficult for him and Tuobahong when they saw him and they readily let them go.

The carriage kept going.He Zexi in the carriage suddenly opened the curtain on the left and took a look outside.By such a coincidence, when their carriage was leaving the palace, a carriage next to them was heading to the palace.The two carriages passed each other, and at this moment, a gust of breeze blew past, blowing a corner of the heavy curtain on the opposite carriage.

He Zexi glanced in subconsciously, and saw a man in a black robe sitting in the carriage, with a hood on his head, the whole person was hidden under the black, and he couldn't see clearly.Apparently it was done on purpose.

He Zexi looked at the mysterious person on the opposite side of the carriage, and suddenly frowned slightly—it seemed a little familiar...

At this moment, the carriage suddenly bumped, and the man's hood slid back a little, revealing a strand of hair—it turned out to be red, slightly curved, like a cluster of burning flames.

He Zexi was startled suddenly, and a horrified anger was brewing in his eyes. He was about to see more clearly, but the curtains of the car had already fallen, and the carriage was also driving forward, and soon disappeared in the out of sight.

Ming Heng was closing his eyes to rest his mind, when he suddenly felt that the emotions of the people around him seemed to fluctuate, and when he turned his head, he saw He Zexi staring out of the car window, with a gloomy and terrifying expression.

Ming Heng patted his shoulder lightly, and asked cautiously: "Zexi, what's wrong?"

He Zexi closed his eyes and took a deep breath, calmed down, shook his head and said softly, "It's okay."

Mingheng felt that he didn't seem to be okay at this time, but He Zexi was not Tuobahong, and he couldn't keep asking, so he had to pretend that he didn't know what to do, and looked away.

King Su also has a mansion in Kyoto, which is near the imperial palace. It was rewarded to him by the first emperor when he was in power. It sits in the best location in Kyoto, and the palace is also extremely grand and majestic. pity.

After Emperor Qianyuan ascended the throne, to show his filial piety, he did not move Su Wangfu, and even had someone renovate it. He wanted to take his younger brother back to live in Kyoto.However, King Su rejected Emperor Qianyuan's kindness and continued to stay in Donggan leisurely as his idle prince.This palace in Kyoto can't live in three times a year, so it's cold and lifeless.

Mingheng took Tuobahong out of the carriage, but King Su came out to greet them in person.Mingheng hadn't seen the emperor's uncle for many days, and he was a little excited, so he shouted happily: "Emperor's uncle!"

King Su smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's considered to be here, I've been waiting for you for a long time, go in." He waved to He Zexi as he spoke.

He Zexi also called Uncle Huang when he came up.King Su smiled more and more lovingly, and led the two into the palace.

King Su did not bring his family with him when he came to Beijing this time, so King Su's mansion was a little deserted.

King Su led Ming Heng to the front hall while chatting with him, and cared about his recent situation.

"I'm fine," Ming Heng followed King Su, his steps became lighter, but the habit he developed in the palace made him look around unconsciously.

King Su patted the back of his hand lightly, and said softly: "Don't worry, today is just an ordinary family banquet, and the house is full of our own people."

Only then did Ming Heng feel relieved, but soon he glanced at Uncle Huang in surprise.Did Uncle Huang just say it casually or did he know something?

Feeling Mingheng's gaze, King Su also turned his head to look at him, his smile was still calm, calm and elegant.He walked up the steps slowly with his hands behind his back, and suddenly said: "Oh, by the way, I didn't tell you in advance that I have invited someone besides you guys for this welcome banquet. You don't think you will mind?" Without waiting for them to speak, he answered by himself: "You will definitely not mind."

Mingheng saw the meaningful smile on the corner of Uncle Huang's mouth, and had a guess in his heart, suddenly became excited, and ran into the front hall impatiently.

In the front hall, a person was standing with his back. He was tall and slender, with an elegant figure, only his waist was slightly thick.The man was wearing a moon-white loose gown, and the belt was loosely tied around his waist, as if it would not fall off.

Mingheng was so excited looking at that familiar figure, he even forgot the environment he was in, and blurted out, "Tuobahong!"

The man turned around slowly, revealing a handsome and delicate face, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and there was a shallow smile, which was gentle but slightly helpless.

"After sleeping so many times, why do you still call me by my first name?"

Mingheng's footsteps were chaotic and he almost fell down.And there were two coughing sounds behind him.

Ming Heng didn't even dare to turn around to look at the expressions of Uncle Huang and He Zexi, enduring the embarrassment in his heart, and glared resentfully at a certain grassland warrior with red ears.

Tuobahong wasn't embarrassed at all, he smiled frankly, pinched Mingheng's cheek and said with a smile, "Call me Hanhuan from now on."

Ming Heng's excitement of reuniting with Tuoba Hong has long since disappeared, leaving only embarrassment and a trace of embarrassment.But Tuobahong insisted that he call him Han Huan now, and he had no choice but to call him in a low voice.

Only then did Ming Heng let go of his hand in satisfaction, and called He Zexi brother again.

He Zexi nodded calmly, and took off the gold-plated mask after the servants in the room closed the door and went out.

King Su sat on the main seat, Ming Heng and Tuoba Hong sat on his left, He Zexi and Mo Jia sat on his right.The five sat down to eat and chat.

Ming Heng was not in a hurry to move his chopsticks, he first looked up and down at Tuoba Hong who hadn't seen him for a long time, and finally felt relieved after confirming that he was safe and well.While serving food for Tuoba Hong, he lowered his head and glanced at his growing belly, frowning worriedly.

Tuobahong leaned into his ear and whispered: "The children are very good, and they look healthy, alive and kicking."

Ming Heng nodded, and asked in a low voice: "Have you had any cramps these days? Is your stomach uncomfortable?"

Tuobahong shook his head and said with a smile: "Probably because he knew that my father was not at home, so he didn't want to torment me. These days are good, and I haven't suffered a single time."

"That's good." Ming Heng stretched out his hand and touched it lightly, and murmured, "It's almost eight months now, isn't it about to give birth?"

"Probably." Tuoba Hong seemed not too sure, and looked down at his stomach.

At this time, Su Wang, who had been silently listening to the young couple's whispering, couldn't help interjecting: "Jinnian gave birth to you two brothers in less than eight months."

As soon as these words came out, Tuobahong and He Zexi were both stunned, and they all looked at him.

King Su also looked at the two brothers with pity: "Jinnian was born prematurely by accident. At that time, Tuoba Rongyu was assassinated by his brothers. Although he failed, it hurt your father and caused him to give birth to you early. But Due to the lack of days, you were very weak when you were born, especially Zexi, who almost died young. Fortunately, there was a miracle doctor who finally rescued you, but the root cause of the disease still fell, and your body was much weaker than your younger brother. And Jin Because of this, Nian's vitality was seriously injured, and it took more than half a year to raise [-]% to [-]% of what it used to be. This incident has always been a pain that Tuoba Rongyu can't mention, and he has always felt guilty for the three of you, father and son, so it became more and more serious. spoil."

The two brothers listened in silence, their expressions a little gloomy for a moment.

Mingheng held Tuobahong's finger, squeezed it lightly, and secretly made up his mind that he would never let this happen to Tuobahong, and he would definitely protect Tuobahong!

Su Wang realized that he seemed to be making the atmosphere heavy, adjusted his mood, and changed the subject with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about these old things. By the way, the emperor called me into the palace yesterday to discuss the establishment of the emperor's grandson. It's over."

Everyone's attention was immediately diverted.

Ming Heng was surprised: "The Grandson of Emperor Li? Isn't it Prince Lixin?"

King Su shook his head, and gave a chuckle with unknown meaning: "My brother's heart is really biased, the same son died, and one is violating the ancestral system and insisting on making his young orphan the emperor's grandson." However, one is that his wife and children were moved far outside the Great Wall. All the officials also felt that it was biased, but Brother Huang is very persistent this time."

Ming Heng never expected that his father would bypass the prince and directly establish the grandson of the emperor, which meant that the other princes were completely out of luck for the throne.He was suddenly curious about how the fourth prince would react when he knew this.In order to win the position of prince, he did not hesitate to collude with Musa. Seeing that the success is imminent, His Majesty has replaced him with the crown prince!He can't be mad?

Just as he was thinking about it, a cold mockery suddenly sounded beside him, followed by Tuobahong's lazy voice: "I have planned with Mingzhe for so long and haven't gotten anything good. I just made wedding dresses for others. Change it." If I did it, I wouldn’t be so mad?”

Mingheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, whether to say it or not, the two of them had a tacit understanding.

"By the way," King Su said, "Didn't you say that Azhe secretly colluded with Musa? But I found that he is very low-key these days, and he rarely even goes out of the palace. What is their plan? However, no matter what their plan is Well, as soon as the matter of the emperor's grandson came out, their plan would have to be scrapped. He should give up... This kid doesn't look like a white-eyed wolf who would kill his father and seize the throne."

Everyone present couldn't tell why.These days, everyone was busy investigating the cause of death of the prince and the second prince, but they paid less attention to the fourth prince.

"Musa..." Just as everyone was silent, He Zexi suddenly said slowly, "I seem to have seen Musa just now."

"What?" Tuobahong was the first to react, and asked excitedly, "Where did you see that?"

"At the gate of the palace, we left the palace, and he entered the palace in a carriage. I caught a glimpse when the two cars passed by." He Zexi frowned uncertainly, "But I'm not sure, that man is wearing a black robe Buffed up from head to toe, I didn't see the face, just a lock of red hair."

Tuobahong stood up suddenly, his eyes almost burst into flames, he gritted his teeth and said, "It must be him! Who else in this world has red hair!"

Ming Heng was completely dumbfounded.

Musa?In the palace? !

"Red... Could it be the Musa you are talking about..." At this time, King Su asked again, "Is it red hair, curly hair, and a scar at the corner of the eye?"

"It's him!" The brothers said in unison.

Ming Heng asked in surprise: "Uncle Huang, do you know Musa?"

King Su shook his head with a solemn expression: "I don't know Musa, but I know this person?"

Mingheng was puzzled, what does this mean?

Fortunately, King Su quickly explained: "I have seen that person, but I don't know that he is Musa. In fact..." At this point, King Su paused for a moment, looked up at the brothers, with a serious and dignified expression "I've seen him more than once. It's in the capital, to be precise, in the palace. I once bumped into him talking with the emperor's brother in the imperial study. I asked the emperor who that person was, but the emperor said it was Ye Ruo Envoy."
