The jade gate was opened, but after opening it, they saw not mountains of gold and silver, but three roads in front of them. In other words, the real treasure hunting is just the real beginning.

A month later, Mu Tinglan and his group returned to the capital. They only heard that Emperor Jiaxuan wanted to accept a concubine when they returned to the capital. This target was Mu Tinglan, Princess Anping who had been away from the capital for more than a month.

As this news came, there was another news that the General's Mansion was suspected to have a special relationship with King Xiaoyao. King Xiaoyao might have learned about the defense line on the southwest border through the General's Mansion. At the same time, war broke out on the southwest border, and the news of King Xinyang's retreat also came.

Before Mu Tinglan and the others had time to digest the news, Emperor Jiaxuan sent someone to Xuan Xuan and Mu Lingheng to the palace, which made many people more sure that Emperor Jiaxuan was just interested in Mu Tinglan.

After all, there were rumors before that Emperor Jiaxuan was a little interested in Su Wanrong when he was young, and Mu Tinglan looked very similar to Su Wanrong. Maybe Emperor Jiaxuan's old love was rekindled because of this. Otherwise, how could he indulge Mu Tinglan like that? Even if Mu Tinglan was making trouble outside the imperial study, he would not punish Mu Tinglan fans, but instead reward Mu Tinglan?

The news was so serious that when Gu Heng followed Mu Tinglan and the others into the palace, he was thinking about how the rumor came about and what was the purpose.

However, compared to Gu Heng's distress, Mu Lingheng and Mu Tinglan seemed very calm, as if the rumors would not have any impact on them at all. If it were Mu Tinglan, it would be easy to understand, but Mu Lingheng was the same, so he really had to make Gu Heng think too much.

Could it be that the General's Mansion and Emperor Jiaxuan have planned?

After all, the General's Mansion and Emperor Jiaxuan have a very unpredictable relationship. Although Emperor Jiaxuan sometimes guards against the General's Mansion, he will never be as rigorous as guarding against the Xinyang Mansion. It seems that he is just trying to make a point. In fact, Emperor Jiaxuan really has an inexplicable trust in the General's Mansion and General Mu.

Thinking of this, Gu Heng was not too worried, but he still had to figure out what he should know.

But now he has to meet Emperor Jiaxuan first to report on this matter.

The southwest border was really a big show before.

There are actually many treasures, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mountain of gold and silver. But in the end, no one can get the treasure. The gold and silver jewelry were buried directly underground. Unless it took more than ten or twenty years to dig, the treasures would have to be buried in the ground.

In fact, they did not realize that they had been walking down the ground when they entered the underground palace. The place where they hid the treasure was originally very close to a small hill on the southwest border. The treasure was below that hill, and the underground palace was deep below. It was already very lucky that they could escape by chance.

The original treasure trove had never thought of letting future generations find these treasures. Before they could even be amazed and happy after they arrived at the underground palace, the underground palace had already begun to collapse, and the way they came was blocked. Fortunately, Wuji and Wuyin knew more than anyone else, so they knew there was another exit. Although they escaped, some people remained in it forever.

As for the so-called immortality medicine, it really does not exist. In the underground palace, there are some herbs besides gold, silver and jewelry. But even so, Old Wuji has gained some of them. Some of those herbs are very rare and are holy medicines for curing diseases. Maybe they can really help.

Although I didn’t get the treasure, everyone was happy with this result. After all, no one else got it, and everyone was still on the same level.

Another thing is about Prince Heshuo. Gu Heng also told Emperor Jiaxuan about Prince Heshuo's appearance on the southwest border, although he knew that Emperor Jiaxuan must have received the news long ago.

But what they may not know is that Prince Heshuo is on his way to the capital now.

After Gu Heng left, Emperor Jiaxuan talked about the current affairs in the capital with Mu Lingheng. Those rumors actually happened very early, but no one took them seriously at that time. Later, he did it intentionally, so it became like this.

"Your Majesty, why do you do this?" Mu Lingheng didn't understand very well. Such rumors not only hurt Mu Tinglan's reputation, but also were not a good thing for Emperor Jiaxuan, right?

"Of course I want to use the trick." Emperor Jiaxuan said with a faint smile, "This was also proposed by the general. Do you think the general has left the capital, so he doesn't know what happened here?"

Upon hearing this, the brother and sister couldn't help but look at each other, "The emperor and grandfather know who did this?"

"That's right, after King Xinyang sent back the news of his retreat, I probably knew what they wanted to do, so I just used the trick." Emperor Jiaxuan said, "Anping has lived in the palace these days, and the general will return to Beijing in a few days. Then the emperor will arrive too."

So the rumor is really a part of Prince Heshuo and his plan? It is to provoke the relationship between the emperor and Emperor Jiaxuan.

In fact, they already had this idea after getting the news, so after getting the affirmation, they were even less worried about what would happen. And Mu Tinglan was also sure that Emperor Jiaxuan had absolutely no other thoughts about him. His eyes looked at him like a junior, and he would not have such dirty thoughts? Because she knew this, she had nothing to worry about when she was introduced to the palace.

Since it was the plan of grandfather and the emperor, Mu Lingheng and Mu Tinglan naturally had to cooperate well, so Mu Lingheng left the palace with a serious expression, and Mu Tinglan was left in the palace. After this news spread, the reliability of the rumors was immediately increased, and for a while, it was rumored again.

But Mu Tinglan didn't care about these things, she just kept living her free life in the palace. Because Emperor Jiaxuan really favored her, almost no one dared to really hit her, except Concubine De. Concubine De's belly is now five or six months old. The imperial doctor said that it might be a son, so Concubine De's status in the palace naturally returned to its previous level, but she became a thorn in the eyes of these women in the harem.

But Concubine De was fearless and didn't take them seriously at all. Even the queen looked a little contemptuous. Mu Tinglan had seen Concubine De give the queen a face in public. However, because the child in her belly could only tolerate it with a slight face.

But it was different for Concubine De to Mu Tinglan. Mu Tinglan didn't have much concern at all. Concubine De wanted to use the prince in her belly to plot against her, but instead embarrass Concubine De several times.

Time flies, and Prince Heshuo finally came to the capital. After coming to the capital, Emperor Jiaxuan was very happy to hold a dust-washing banquet for Prince Heshuo. Princess Chongyang was inevitably asked to find Mu Tinglan's unhappiness, but she dared to give Mu Tinglan unhappiness, so she didn't have to do anything about her. Mu Lingheng and Dingyuan Hou dared to give her unhappiness. Mu Tinglan was watching the fun on the side, so in the end, Princess Chongyang was still angry and half-deathed?

However, Prince Heshuo's attitude towards Mu Tinglan is quite good, but they all know that this is just superficial.

Before, Prince Heshuo not only showed his murderous intention toward Mu Tinglan and the others in the underground palace.

On the seventh day after Prince Heshuo returned to the capital, General Mu finally came back, but at this time the rumors about Emperor Jiaxuan going to take Mu Tinglan to the harem became more and more intense, and there was also a lot of discussion about whether the General's Mansion had leaked the secret to King Xiaoyao.

In this case, the general's mansion began to look for a suitable candidate to make a marriage for Mu Tinglan. In this regard, the people in the capital were afraid of it. How could they dare to compete with the emperor for women at this time? Even if the rumors were not true, what if Emperor Jiaxuan was unhappy? Then the unlucky one was still they?

During this period, Mu Yaoxian and the General's Mansion also moved more. Rumors were that the relationship between Mu Tinglan and Mu Yaoxian had made rapid progress, and they were also very good with Mu Yaocen of the third room, but they ignored Mu Yaoguang and Mu Yaoqin of the second room. Mu Yaoqin had nothing to do, because Mu Yaoqin was determined to mourn Zheng for three years, so she was rarely seen when she was seen, but Mu Yaoguang was jealous and crazy. I don't know how much Mu Tinglan said during the time when Mu Tinglan was not in the capital.

Because he is Mu Tinglan's cousin, Mu Yaoguang's words are much more credible than those rumors.

So Mu Tinglan's reputation is really not very good now.

After that, the General's Mansion had several conflicts with the Third Prince, but basically the third prince was punished, which made the royal family and relatives a little unhappy. They kept asking Emperor Jiaxuan to say that they could not indulge the General's Mansion too much. However, Emperor Jiaxuan was very impatient and was still defending Mu Tinglan, but he was a little unhappy about the General's Mansion. Originally, Emperor Jiaxuan intended to let Mu Lingheng return to the court before, but this matter was directly put aside by Emperor Jiaxuan.

This incident is a signal. Emperor Jiaxuan may really be "annoyed" the General's Mansion. Although there was no punishment, the matter of Mu Lingheng returning to the court was already ruined, right?

A month later, Gu Heng brought the betrothal gift to the general's mansion to propose marriage. There were not many betrothal gifts, at least not many to outsiders. Moreover, Gu Heng's expression has always been indifferent, so in the eyes of many people, it looks similar to transactions or forced.

But in fact, Gu Heng's betrothal gifts seem to be small, but there are actually many. One of the boxes is full of land deeds, the other box is full of silver notes, and the Gu family's heirloom. Perhaps many people don't know it now, but they will know later that Gu Heng really took out the Gu family's heirloom. In addition to these, there are some other jewelry that are placed under the betrothal gifts, so naturally it is impossible to see on the surface.

But if someone pays attention carefully, he will find that those who carry the betrothal gifts are very heavy, which shows how expensive the betrothal gifts are.

Although these are not as rich as the General's Mansion, it is enough to be shocking for a person who has basically no power to take them out. If you don't know, you must think that these are all robbed by Gu Heng.

After Gu Heng was hired, the capital was in an uproar again, and many people all focused on Emperor Jiaxuan. This time, Emperor Jiaxuan seemed to be really annoyed. After participating in the General's Mansion on the Censorate, Emperor Jiaxuan directly punished General Mu. Although he only asked General Mu to recuperate at home for a few days, it was better to say that he was leaving General Mu without resting. Seeing this, Marquis Dingyuan naturally wanted to speak for General Mu, but Emperor Jiaxuan was already very angry and even Marquis Dingyuan scolded him directly.

At this time, everyone understood more clearly that the General's Mansion's location in Emperor Jiaxuan might have been a bit stalemate because of Mu Tinglan.

But many people are happy to see this. At this time, the second prince and the fifth prince also contacted the general's mansion one after another.

In this case, the third prince suddenly attacked the second prince and secretly sent someone to assassinate the second prince. On several occasions, the second prince almost gave his life. Similar to his previous life, the second prince's concubine really didn't help much. When she encountered danger, she knew she had escaped. On the contrary, Huang Qiaozhen always followed the second prince to help the second prince block the knife and saved the second prince several times.

However, this time the third prince made sufficient preparations. Not only did he plot against the second prince in the court, but he did not fall behind in other aspects. Some of his own industries in secret were also affected. At this time, Huang Qiao's intelligence showed up. She helped to help the second prince cooperate with Yan Yonghong, which saved a lot of losses and prevented the second prince's industry from being seriously hit again.

However, the second prince still lost the same as in his previous life. Perhaps it was not that he lost, but that Emperor Jiaxuan himself did not intend to let the second prince be the crown prince, although those who become the crown prince may not necessarily be the final winner.

Therefore, the second prince's loss was just the result that Emperor Jiaxuan wanted to see. Among them, if Emperor Jiaxuan had not agreed, it would not be so easy for the second prince to lose.

Later, the second prince was named King Jing and was granted the fief of Chongzhou. Because Huang Qiaozhen was pregnant and could not travel long distances, the second prince was allowed to go to Chongzhou after Huang Qiaozhen gave birth to a child.

Although the second prince lost, he was not too impressed. Instead, he was a little awake. After staying in the capital for the period of time, he stayed in Prince Jing's mansion to take care of Huang Qiaozhen. As for the second prince's concubine, when the second prince had an accident, she hid back to her parents' home without any help. So the second prince was interested in wanting to divorce the second prince's concubine, but he was still because of the Minister of Revenue, Lord Shen, and could not find a suitable reason, so he could only put it aside for the time being.

But Mr. Shen is smart, and his daughter has not inherited his intelligence. The second prince's concubine, no, it should be said that it is Princess Jing. After returning to Prince Jing's mansion, Prince Jing became jealous of Huang Qiaozhen, and then he actually plotted against Huang Qiaozhen. Fortunately, Huang Qiaozhen hid in a clever way, but she still had a fetal aura. If the servant had not paid attention in time and found Prince Jing and the Imperial Doctor Ming, the eldest grandson of the royal family would have died in Huang Qiaozhen's stomach.

Princess Jing directly sent such a handle to Prince Jing, so Prince Jing naturally did not make any use of it. So he was angry and left Prince Jing directly, and went to the palace to find Emperor Jiaxuan, indicating that he wanted to carry Huang Qiaozhen as the main concubine. Emperor Jiaxuan also agreed. Later, Lord Shen asked in front of Emperor Jiaxuan unwillingly, but was scolded by Emperor Jiaxuan.

Princess Jing dared to murder the royal family's descendants like this, which was already a serious crime. If Lord Shen continued to persist, he would not mind executing Miss Chen according to the law. Or was she retired? In the end, Lord Shen chose to retire.

Although this is very embarrassing, Lord Shen attaches great importance to his children. It is better to lose his face than to lose his life? Besides, this matter was originally found by his daughter. Lord Shen never thought that his daughter would be such a greedy person who was afraid of death. When he saw that something happened to Prince Jing, he even asked his parents to take him back to Prince Jing's mansion. From the beginning, he asked his servants to escort him back to Prince Jing's mansion.

But they all say that they are not afraid of opponents like gods, but are afraid of teammates like pigs. Mrs. Shen’s mother, Mrs. Shen, likes this granddaughter very much, and she will inevitably be confused when she gets old, so she directly stopped Mr. Shen and forced him to death. As this is the case, what else can Mr. Shen do?

So it was her own way to do it when she was sent back to the Shen family. After being sent back to the Shen family, Lord Shen sent Miss Chen to the farm to raise her. This time, whether it was his mother or his wife who begged for mercy, he would bite him and never let go. This time they were lucky. Although King Jing was already King Jing, it was not difficult to take revenge on the Shen family. Since he just wanted to divorce his daughter, he could only accept his fate. But if this daughter was confused, she would not be so lucky.

After the second prince lost, there was a game between the third prince and the fifth prince. However, it was the third prince and the fifth prince on the surface, but in fact it was a game between the third prince and the fifth prince and the sixth prince. The fifth prince and the sixth prince had reached a cooperation before, and this cooperation has continued until now.

When the third prince and the fifth prince were fighting in a hot battle, a war report suddenly came from the border, saying that the northern border suddenly attacked. Peng Feilong led a 500,000 army to guard the northwest border, and would raid from time to time. There were already thousands of casualties in the northwest border. In addition, the southwest border, the Xinyang King reported that the defense map was stolen, and the southwest garrison was forced to retreat again and again by the Wuzhen army.

The battle report came, and the court was shocked.

Let’s not talk about the northwest side for now, but the southwest side makes people have to think about it more.

What a big deal if the defense map was stolen? In this case, King Xinyang was not so abnormal to defeat the war.

Many people turned their attention to the General's Mansion. The General's Mansion has a close relationship with the King Xiaoyao of Wuzhen Kingdom. Didn't someone say before that if the King Xiaoyao wanted, Princess Anping would find a way to serve it? It was not very easy for Princess Anping to get the defense map, but General Mu may not be sure. After all, there are also some generals in the southwest garrison.

If General Mu really colluded with King Xiaoyao, then the defense map might have been transmitted to Wuzhen Kingdom through Princess Anping.
