my princess boy

The next day.

In the early morning light, Mu Xianyi was still sleeping soundly. Ling Xuetang was sleeping beside him, with one arm around his waist, but her eyes were slightly open, looking at the ceiling.

Suddenly there were footsteps outside, and someone knocked on the door.

Generally, if it is not something important, the people below will not disturb their sleep, Ling Xuetang tightened Mu Xianyi's hand, and said in a low voice:

"What's the matter?"

Zhou Mian's voice came from outside: "My lord, there is a disturbance in the palace, and an imperial doctor on duty has died."

A strangeness flashed in Ling Xuetang's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and she regained her composure in an instant: "Understood, let's go down."

As soon as the words fell, Mu Xianyi also woke up, snorted softly, and burrowed into Ling Xuetang's arms, looking unhappy because of being woken up, and asked in a hoarse voice: "What's going on outside?"

Ling Xuetang turned over to face him, and lightly patted his back with her arms around his waist: "Don't worry about them, just go on sleeping."

Where Mu Xianyi could still sleep, he looked up at the handsome and angular face in front of him, pouted: "Say it!"

Ling Xuetang especially liked to see his face turned upright when he just woke up, his small face was not covered with makeup, especially his agate-like black eyes were sparkling and lively, against the loose hair, he was not a daughter's charming.He kissed Mu Xianyi's pouty mouth, and said: "There was an imperial doctor on duty in the palace who died... It has nothing to do with us."

Mu Xianyi let out an "oh", slipped into Ling Xuetang's arms again, and acted like a baby to him again: "Well, why don't we lie on the bed for a while, it's too cold outside."

Ling Xuetang hugged him fondly and said, "Okay."

It was warm in the bed, and there was a mixed smell from the two of them. This feeling of being in you and me in me is really not bad, and Mu Xianyi enjoyed this moment of joy very much.He put his arms around Ling Xuetang's neck, and leaned over to kiss his chin and cheek, very affectionately, at the end, he felt ashamed again, and slipped into Ling Xuetang's arms with a giggle.

Ling Xuetang was made breathless by him, and her hands were getting hotter and hotter, so she kissed his forehead, and said softly, "Xuanxuan, don't make trouble."

Mu Xianyi became more and more aggressive, buried her head in his arms, and asked in a low voice: "Does my husband like Xuanxuan?"

Ling Xuetang raised her lips: "I like it."

"Hee hee." Mu Xianyi became more and more shy, and said, "I like my husband too!"

This time Ling Xuetang became more emotional, reached out to Mu Xianyi's armpit, hugged him out of her arms, leaned over to kiss his small mouth, pulled the quilt up to cover the two of them, and instantly Only Mu Xianyi's giggling and coquettish voices remained.

……

It's New Year's Eve.

The weather on this day is very good, although it is still very cold, but the wind and the sun are beautiful, which is suitable for the New Year.

Both the main courtyard and other courtyards were busy early in the morning. Mu Xianyi and Ling Xuetang couldn't stay in bed, so they woke up early. They were washing and changing clothes. Nuanyu came in and reported:

"Master, the father-in-law of the front yard has sent someone over."

Mu Xianyi and Ling Xuetang looked at each other, Ling Xuetang said: "Princess has not finished changing clothes yet, tell him to talk at the door."

"Yes." Nuan Yu retreated respectfully, and after a while, she heard the voice of a servant outside saying:

"Second master, princess, the master said that there is an urgent matter in the palace, please go to the front yard to discuss it quickly."

Mu Xianyi, who was sitting in front of the Linghua mirror, paused for a while when she was picking up the steps, and looked in the mirror, and saw that Ling Xuetang, who was wearing clothes behind her, also stopped moving:

"What's the rush? It's New Year's Eve..."

Ling Xuetang had regained her composure, clasped the jade button with one hand, and said, "You'll know when you go, if it's inconvenient for the princess, I'll go there first."

But Mu Xianyi said: "Then I'll go too, I'm afraid the matter in the palace has something to do with me, otherwise what would my father-in-law ask me to do?"

The two of them dressed up and rushed to the front yard. When they arrived at Ling Jiyuan's study in the front yard, Ling Jiyuan and Ling Jiyuan's younger brothers Ling Jichu and Ling Yutang were all there. They saw Mu Xianyi, They all bowed together.

Mu Xianyi hurriedly called Pingshen, with a puzzled face on his face: "My father-in-law, uncle, and uncle are all here, did something important happen in the palace?"

"It is indeed a major event!" Ling Jiyuan stood behind the desk, his face was as gloomy as the sky before the heavy snow, "A major event happened in the East Palace last night—"

"What's the big deal?"

"The prince killed the princess!"

"What?!" Mu Xianyi blurted out, his face full of shock.

Ling Xuetang calmed down a little, held Mu Xianyi with one hand, and asked, "What's going on?"

Ling Jichu who was at the side shook his head: "The truth is not yet clear, I only know that the servants of the Eastern Palace found the Crown Princess dead in the room this morning, and was pierced by the Crown Prince's sword. Last night, they heard the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess arguing loudly. voice, and heard the prince yelling 'I will kill you'..."

"Then does my father know? What did he say?" Mu Xianyi came to his senses and asked hastily.

"Your Majesty was furious and summoned the Crown Prince and Zongli Temple to participate in the investigation. No news has come yet." Ling Jiyuan shook his head, with a look of emotion and helplessness, "The Crown Prince has always favored His Majesty, but this matter is about The question of Prince Chu's morality is really tricky."

Hearing this, Ling Xuetang raised her eyes to look at her father, and asked, "Then how did Wu Baoya react?"

Wu Baoya is Wu Mengyun's father, he is the first assistant university scholar, he is the head of the court officials, many civil servants are his friends and disciples, even the prime minister Pei Xuandao has to respect him three points, and dare not be on him easily It can be seen that his position in the court is very important.

"Wu Baoya was filled with grief and anger when he heard the news, and fell ill at home. His son Wu Dancheng rushed to the palace instead of his father..."

Mu Xianyi lowered his eyelids slightly, his flowery face was cold.

"If it is true that the prince killed the concubine, I am afraid that this matter will not be good..." Ling Jiyuan did not go on. After all, "deposing the prince" is a relatively taboo topic. He looked at the people in front of him, and finally Putting his eyes on Mu Xianyi's face, he said, "Your Majesty will definitely call important officials including me to discuss this matter. I wonder if I will protect the crown prince?"

Mu Xianyi noticed Ling Jiyuan's gaze, raised his eyes, and slowly looked not far away: "In addition to the prince's brother, there are also my fourth, eighth and ninth brothers. The family background of ability is not inferior to the elder brother of the crown prince, if the crown prince is really dangerous, I am afraid that the next crown prince will be the fourth prince—after all, the eighth prince is only ten years old, and the ninth prince is only five years old."

The implication is that if you don't want to protect the crown prince, you must prepare for Mu Jingchen to become the crown prince - this means that the court will change.

Ling Yutang who hadn't spoken at the side said: "That's true, father, apart from this incident, the prince has no other mistakes, and there is nothing to criticize in terms of ability."

Ling Jiyuan heard the words, thought for a moment, and asked, "What do you mean to protect the crown prince?"

"No." Ling Xuetang said, "Father, according to my opinion, father should not speak for the prince, but if your majesty wants to depose the prince, you should dissuade him. Your majesty likes the prince very much, even if you really say you want to depose the prince, It's just because of the situation, you just need to persuade His Majesty to punish him appropriately."

Mu Xianyi listened, and nodded slowly: "The son-in-law is right. The emperor doesn't have deep feelings for the queen, but he likes the elder brother of the prince very much. Even if the elder brother of the prince really kills the concubine, the emperor does not want to be easy to save. of."

Listening to the analysis of the two, Ling Jiyuan stroked the beard on his chin and nodded slowly: "I know how to act."

Mu Xianyi and Ling Xuetang glanced at each other, then immediately set their eyes on the window - the sky outside suddenly became darker, and the previous sun seemed to be frightened and hid in the clouds.

Sure enough, in the afternoon of that day, Ling Jiyuan and other important officials were hastily called into the palace.

When it was almost time to light up the lights, all the New Year's Eve dinners in the Duke's Mansion had been served, and Ling Jiyuan just arrived, and the news he brought back was even more surprising——

The prince has been deposed!
