Chapter 51

Mu Xiaotian, who had obtained an ill-gotten fortune, had just returned to Penglai Cave Mansion. Before he could sit down, he immediately teleported out of Penglai Cave Mansion.

Before dawn, Mu Xiaotian followed Fu Wanqing to the place where the Western Zhou emperor attended court without any sleepiness.

When they arrived at the Astronomical Hall, it was already dawn.

When they arrived, they instantly attracted the attention of all civil and military officials who had been waiting here.

"Mr. Fu, you are here." One of the three in front of the officials bowed to Fu Wanqing.

Mu Xiaotian looked at this person, who knew him. It was the only official who came to congratulate him when he got married, Grand Secretary Qiu Zitong.

Looking at the other two old men who were in the same official uniform as Qiu Zitong and were indifferent to Fu Wanqing's arrival, Mu Xiaotian guessed that they should be the other two Grand Secretary.

"Master Qiu." Fu Wanqing bowed and said with a respectful look.

The officials next to him watched coldly and ignored Fu Wanqing. Some even sneered and looked at Fu Wanqing and Qiu Zitong with hatred.

Mu Xiaotian, who came with Fu Wanqing, naturally enjoyed the treatment despised by the officials.

Mu Xiaotian didn't know these officials either, and ignored their cold eyes at all. He admired the imperial palace of the Western Zhou Dynasty in front of him alone.

The Astronomical Hall has a large gold-burned character hanging high in front of the hall. The two large pillars at the front door are round. The two pillars are connected by a carved whole dragon. The dragon head sticks out of the eaves and the dragon tail goes straight into the hall, showing the solemn and majestic emperor spirit.

Just when Mu Xiaotian was amazed at the superb craftsmanship of the ancients, all the civil and military officials bowed and bowed:

"Welcome to the Crown Prince!"

"Everyone is free." The prince Ji Chang who had just arrived smiled and signaled that everyone would not be too polite. Then he looked at Fu Wanqing and Qiu Zitong who were isolated by everyone, and finally stopped his eyes on Mu Xiaotian next to Fu Wanqing.

"The King of Xin'an is here!" An official shouted immediately when he saw the second prince wearing a python robe coming.

"See King Xin'an." The officials came forward and saluted respectfully, more enthusiastic than when they paid homage to the prince.

Seeing this scene, Prince Ji Chang looked at everyone with a blue face and cold eyes.

After the second prince greeted the officials, he walked up to the front with a smile and said to the prince, "I have seen His Highness the Prince."

"Hmph!" Prince Ji Chang said angrily: "The second brother is really supported by all officials! Even I, the prince, do not treat you like this. It seems that they still hope you will take the position of the prince!"

"Haha! Your Highness the Crown Prince was joking." The second prince looked around with a smile, and stayed on Mu Xiaotian next to Fu Wanqing for a while.

"Your Highness, why didn't you see your sixth brother?" King Xin'an asked curiously: "The sixth brother has always been kind and filial. Every time his father goes to court, he comes earlier than us. Why haven't you arrived today?"

"I don't know!" Ji Chang said angrily.

The second prince was not angry when he touched a cold nail, because after today he would not be the prince.

Officials who have defected to him will never hope that the prince will become emperor, otherwise when he holds firmly in the throne, he will be liquidated one by one.

Even if the prince is cured, today, Chen Xiaojun and Mu Baokun, two great scholars, will lead all civil and military officials in the court to impeach the prince to the emperor.

Just as the scene calmed down, the officials behind bowed and bowed: "Greetings to the Sixth Prince."

Mu Xiaotian also looked over and was shocked. He had seen this sixth prince. He sent the group of killers to destroy Yuelai Inn and wanted to kill him.

"Sixth brother, your expression is very bad today!" King Xin'an teased.

The Sixth Prince's face twisted unnaturally, and he barely squeezed out a smile and said, "I have seen Your Highness the Crown Prince and Second Brother."

Mu Xiaotian was guilty and quickly turned his face aside, for fear that the Sixth Prince would suspect him and that there would be more unnecessary trouble at that time. He also wanted to see what reward the Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty would give him!

But he didn't know that the Sixth Prince felt more guilty than him at this time.

He finished washing up early this morning and suddenly found smoke coming from his bedroom. When he found that the cigarette was emitted from the entrance of the secret room under the bed, he was frightened to the point of being out of the way.

The things in the secret room are so important. They are all weapons he secretly hid, so the purpose is naturally self-evident.

But when he sent someone to rush into the secret room, he found that everything except the burning wooden frame was gone.

The Sixth Prince was stunned. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out how the thing was stolen. It was thousands of weapons, 300,000 taels of silver, and 50,000 taels of gold!

With so many things, even if a person has the ability to fly over the eaves and walls, he cannot transport all the things in the secret room overnight, unless hundreds of people were sent to transport the things away in a carriage.

But this is absolutely impossible. I went in and saw the weapons and silver inside. Later, in order to wait for the death warriors sent out to come back, I stayed in the room and never walked away.

How did the weapon silver disappear? Ji Rong thought about it but couldn't figure it out even though he thought about it.

If gold and silver are lost, they will be lost. But the key is those weapons, those weapons were sold at a great cost and were secretly transported to the palace. The purpose is to wait for the right time to lead troops to force the palace to usurp the throne.

The money and weapons accumulated secretly in secret for many years were gone overnight. It is easy to imagine how angry the Sixth Prince was.

But he did not dare to send people to investigate the whereabouts of the stolen weapons. Otherwise, once the spies from the court learned that they had a large number of powerful weapons, he would definitely not be able to escape the fate of being forbidden.

Mu Xiaotian looked at the Sixth Prince Ji Rong, chatting with the Second Prince in a casual manner, looking as if nothing had happened. He felt very strange. How could he still laugh after losing so much silver and gold?

"There is definitely a problem here!" Mu Xiaotian quickly came to a conclusion based on the costume dramas he had watched before:

"This sixth prince is different from each other. He trained a group of killers behind his back and hid so many weapons. It seems that he is planning a lot!"

Looking around, so many officials gathered together and rarely spoke, the scene seemed very calm, and Mu Xiaotian felt that the coming storm was hidden under the calm.

"The emperor went to court, and Xuan—the civil and military officials—to meet!" A eunuch's scream came from the Astronomical Hall.

Fu Wanqing sorted out his official uniform and said, "Son-in-law! You can wait here first, and wait for the emperor to announce your visit to you before going in."

Grand Secretary Chen Xiaojun also sorted out his official uniform and joked: "Mr. Fu's son-in-law has red lips and white teeth. He is indeed a handsome talent. No wonder Mr. Fu gave his concubine to his son-in-law."

"Haha..." Mu Baokun couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Chen said very well. As the saying goes, women are like clothes, and brothers are like brothers. Giving your clothes to your son-in-law has become a well-known story in the world. You and I are worse than you!"

"Haha!" The officials behind him laughed unscrupulously after hearing this.

"Silent! No one can make noise in front of the Astronomical Hall!" The guard commander at the front door shouted.

The officials immediately stopped talking, suppressed their sneering and secretly laughed, and endured it very hard.

Fu Wanqing's face turned pale, but he endured it and said nothing.

Mu Xiaotian's face was not good. Bi Shuiyao had become her own woman. How could she let others insult her woman without being moved?

If you are a man, you have to do it!

"Bang!" A loud bang shocked everyone who was about to enter the Astronomical Hall.

Mr. Mu was beaten!

And he was beaten by Fu Wanqing's son-in-law in front of the Astronomical Hall!

"You...you dare to hit me!" Mu Baokun looked at Mu Xiaotian with his right hand, touching his swollen right face with his right hand.

"Ah! Sorry, I just saw a fly on your face, so I started to pat you the fly." Mu Xiaotian said very seriously.

"Nonsense! I'm early in the morning, where did the flies come from on my face!" Mu Baokun said angrily.

Whether others believe what Mu Xiaotian said Fu Wanqing doesn't know. He can see clearly from the side. There is absolutely no so-called flies on Mu Baokun's face.

However, Fu Wanqing did not dissuade him, but instead looked at the show with anticipation.

He and Mu Xiaotian have a life-and-death grudge. As long as he commits a serious crime of killing the nine clans, it is best to let him die.

Mu Xiaotian said with a playful smile: "No, there was a fly on your face just now. The fly's mouth was very smelly, so I kindly helped you slap the fly. You have to thank me."

"You... you beat me, and you still want me to thank you? Dreaming!" Mu Baokun heard the implicit sound. He was blaming himself for his stinky mouth and just teasing his woman.

"Haha! Adults don't have to thank me. I have always done good deeds without seeking repayment." Mu Xiaotian held his hands behind his back, looking humble and gentleman.

I thank you?

I thank your ancestors!

Mu Baokun was so angry that his neck was thick. This was the first time he had seen such a shameless person who was lying with his eyes open.

"Hey! It's hard to do a good person now!" Mu Xiaotian sighed and touched his right hand and said pitifully: "It's just that I'm sorry for my hand! It's numb to pat it."

"You...you..." Mu Baokun's chest hurt so much that he almost got angry and had a heart attack.

Seeing that they did not listen to the dissuasion and were still making noise, the guards in front of the Astronomy Hall immediately brought more than 20 guards in front of the hall to come over: "No noise in front of the Astronomy Hall. If anyone commits again, take it down immediately!"

When did Mu Baokun suffer the insult of being slapped in the face? He pointed at Mu Xiaotian angrily and said to the guard commander: "Master, this man dares to beat the imperial court official, and asks him to capture him!"

The guard commander beside the emperor had long known that the emperor had given Fu Wanqing's son-in-law Mu Xiaotian the privilege of not kneeling in court and not worshiping the emperor when he saw him.

As a guard commander, I dare not offend anyone I value, but who knows what official position the emperor will give him?

The guard commander replied: "Sir, he just said he was helping you slap flies. The emperor decided to make the right and wrong. Please ask all of you to enter the palace quickly to avoid the emperor's blame."

The second prince came to Mu Baokun at this time, and leaned into his ear and whispered: "Mr. Mu, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan. You must think twice. This person saved my father's life. If you sue the emperor, you will not be able to take his life. It will only disrupt our major affairs!"

Mu Baokun looked incredible when he heard this. Fu Wanqing's son-in-law saved the emperor's life?

Seeing that the Second Prince had already walked towards the steps of the Astronomical Hall, he believed that the Second Prince would not lie to him, after all, he had defected to him.

Has the emperor been cured by Fu Wanqing's son-in-law? If he really saved the emperor's life, the emperor would definitely protect him. His complaint would only arouse the emperor's dissatisfaction with him.

Mu Baokun's face changed rapidly, and he laughed in an instant: "Ah! I was so angry just now. There was indeed a fly on my face. Thank you, my brother, for slapping this fly to death for me."

Seeing Mu Baokun turning around and walking towards the Astronomy Hall without hesitation, all the civil and military officials behind him were shocked.

Even Qiu Zitong was surprised. Mu Baokun was the second prince's person, and even he admitted defeat, which made him look at Mu Xiaotian more.
