"Thank you, Princess." Mu Nanzhi took a sip of tea. It was still Pu'er, but Mu Nanzhi's craftsmanship was obviously not as good as Du Heng's. She was a little nostalgic. Du Heng cooked Pu'er rose tea for her in the side hall that day, and she remembered just now. Du Heng was covered in thick snow, and she was a little dazed.

"Why are you thanking me? I'm the worst at making tea. It's fine if you don't mind," Mu Nanzhi said with a smile, and took a sip of tea. Then he looked at Princess Jing'an and found that she was a little flustered, so he asked, "What's wrong? You haven't spoken a word?"

"Oh, I just thought, wouldn't it be too rude for me to come to your door like this and not salute the prince to say hello?" Princess Jing'an finally came to her senses and said hurriedly.

"We don't need these red tapes. Besides, when we have dinner later, of course I will ask him to come over," Mu Nanzhi said with a smile, and asked seriously, "By the way, how is the Queen Mother's health? Why do you keep asking? Haven’t you heard that things are getting better?”

"I'm afraid the Queen Mother will have to be raised for a long time this time," Princess Jing'an sighed, and gently put the tea bowl on the small table. "Prince Gong died suddenly, and the Crown Prince was deposed. Even the Queen was devastated and bedridden. , not to mention the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was already weak and old, which naturally made matters worse. Qin Taiyi ran towards Shoukang Palace day after day, but the Queen Mother's body still showed no improvement. Long Live Lord ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to start preparations. It’s time for longevity.”

Mu Nanzhi was so shocked that he put down his tea bowl: "Is it really that serious? Do you have to prepare birthday gifts?"

"Long live the Lord did not make any publicity, the power should be given to the Queen Mother," Princess Jing'an came over and whispered, while adding, "But having said that, if the Long live Lord had not deposed the Crown Prince so resolutely, the Queen Mother would also I won’t be affected by this, the Queen Mother has always loved the Prince the most.”

Mu Nazhi took a sip of tea and asked cautiously: "Prince Gong died suddenly, and then Lord Long Live deposed the prince. Is there any connection between this? Is the prince really affected by Wei Junchen?"

"How can a mere Wei Junchen implicate the prince? Isn't it that Long Live Lord has made up his mind that anyone has the ability to bring down the prince?" Princess Jing'an lowered her voice and asked Mu Nanzhi with some confusion, "You don't have any Have you heard anything?"

Mu Nanzhi swallowed and lowered his voice: "Could it be that Prince Gong sent someone to assassinate the prince at the hunting ground in the western suburbs, and the prince then fought back and took Prince Gong's life? That's why Lord Gong was furious, Deposed the prince?"

Princess Jing'an nodded: "Although Lord Long Live did not openly deal with the sudden death of Prince Gong, anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that the sudden death of Prince Gong was related to the Crown Prince. But Lord Long Live didn't say anything, so everyone could only understand. Pretending to be confused is ultimately a matter of honor for the royal family.”

Mu Nanzhi felt a little confused, nodded and said: "Long Live the Prince, regardless of the Queen Mother and the Queen's face, he just killed the Prince. Just looking at this, you know that it must be the Prince who killed Prince Gong."

"Yeah, it's really scary to think about it. For the sake of the throne, brothers and sisters would kill each other to such an extent. I used to think that the history books were all fabrications. Now it seems that the Xuanwu Sect incident was not a fabrication by unofficial historians. Princess Jing'an sighed, took a sip of tea and said, "But the Queen Mother is really pitiful. She sheds tears every day and calls the prince's name from time to time. Her mind is not clear."
