While Wu Tianjiao was thinking, Princess Jingguo continued, "His Majesty had intended to make Prince Jing the Crown Prince many times, but this was opposed by the Empress Dowager and a group of ministers. In the past, there were rumors in the capital that Prince Jing had committed serious crimes such as plotting rebellion, disobeying his parents, and cursing. If the charges are proven, Prince Jing will not only fail to become the Crown Prince, but he will also be very likely to be deposed and reduced to a commoner."
"Given Prince Jing's temperament, is it possible that he would do such a thing?" Wu Tianjiao asked slowly.
Princess Jingguo snorted and said, "Although I do not know Prince Jing very well, I firmly believe that he would not do such a treasonous thing. There must be something else going on in this matter."
Wu Tianjiao scoffed, inwardly sneering, "That's not necessarily true. What wouldn't Prince Jing do for the throne? Just like Wu Tianhu, what methods wouldn't he use to secure the position of heir apparent? Birds of a feather flock together; Prince Jing can't be much better than Wu Tianhu!"
Yu Yilong, who had been silently following by, suddenly interjected, "I also firmly believe that the Second Prince would not commit such a treasonous act; someone must have framed him!"
Princess Jingguo nodded and continued, "I think so too, and Prime Minister Xiao Hongyuan also thinks so. He personally intervened in this matter. Although the truth of the matter was not revealed and it was eventually dropped, Prince Jing still managed to retain his throne."
"Judging from what Her Highness the Princess said, it seems that she really hopes that Prince Jing can be made the Crown Prince and inherit the throne?" Wu Tianjiao said.
"Alas!" Princess Jingguo sighed deeply, saying with worry, "Whether it's the eldest prince or the second prince, whichever one is made crown prince and inherits the throne, I only hope they won't turn against each other and push the empire into an abyss of turmoil and division!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Tianjiao's heart stirred, and he smiled slightly, "Your Highness seems to have overlooked someone?"
"Oh!" Princess Jingguo's expression shifted upon hearing this. She glanced at Wu Tianjiao and smiled, "Who have I overlooked?"
"Third Prince!"
Wu Tianjiao said solemnly, "As far as I know, His Majesty has three princes. Besides the eldest and second princes, there is a third prince, who is the son of the current Empress. In my opinion, the third prince is the most likely to be made crown prince and inherit the future throne!"
What you say makes sense!
Princess Jingguo shook her head and sighed, "But this Third Prince disappeared twelve years ago, and there's been no news of him since. We don't know where he is. Perhaps he's already dead! If he were alive, he would be the best heir to the throne!"
Wu Tianjiao nodded slightly. He had heard about the Third Prince's disappearance since childhood and found it highly suspicious. As the current Empress, Cao Tian'e's sons naturally had the support of the Cao family. With the Cao family's power and the tight security provided by their skilled guards, how could the Third Prince have disappeared without a trace? However, Wu Tianjiao didn't care about the First, Second, or Third Princes, nor did he care who would be made Crown Prince or who would inherit the throne. He thought the royal family was mostly bad; he preferred them to fight amongst themselves, killing each other outright. He was truly ruthless and wicked.
As they walked and talked, Wu Tianjiao suddenly remembered that Princess Jingguo had said she had come to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday. Feeling something was amiss, she asked, "Your Highness, you previously said that March 12th is the Empress Dowager's 40th birthday?"
"good!"
Princess Jingguo nodded and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"Of course that's wrong!"
Wu Tianjiao said in a sweet voice, "As far as I know, His Majesty is over seventy years old, while the Empress Dowager is only forty. How could the Empress Dowager be decades younger than His Majesty?"
Upon hearing this, Princess Jingguo and Yu Yilong couldn't help but laugh. Wu Tianjiao was taken aback and asked, "What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?"
Princess Jingguo smiled and said, "What you said isn't wrong, but you don't know that the current Empress Dowager is not His Majesty's biological mother. When the late Emperor passed away and His Majesty ascended the throne, he was nearly fifty years old, while the Empress Dowager was only sixteen or seventeen at the time. Of course, the Empress Dowager is much younger than His Majesty!"
Wu Tianjiao was puzzled. After thinking for a moment, he still felt something was amiss and said, "As far as I know, the current Empress Dowager is Grand Tutor Cao's sister. The Empress and Consort Cao of the Eastern Palace are both Grand Tutor Cao's daughters. The Empress Dowager is the Empress and Consort Cao's aunt. It is said that the Empress and Consort Cao are both over forty years old, while the Empress Dowager is only forty. How can the elders be younger than the younger ones?"
Upon hearing this, Princess Jingguo giggled even more, her laughter as beautiful as a newly blossoming flower, her beauty radiant and incomparable. Wu Tianjiao was momentarily stunned, then thought to himself, "My goodness! She's an absolute beauty! If I could sleep with her, I'd gladly give up ten years of my life!"
He's truly incorrigible and hopeless when it comes to lust.
"Miss Moon, you are unaware of this!"
Yu Yilong, who had been riding slowly alongside Wu Tianjiao, explained, "The Empress Dowager is Grand Tutor Cao's youngest sister. She was born to Grand Tutor Cao's father in his later years, after the Empress and Consort Cao had already been born. So, although the Empress Dowager is an elder, she is several years younger than them!"
"I see!"
Wu Tianjiao suddenly realized and laughed, "Since the Empress Dowager is younger than the Empress and the others, how did she end up marrying the late Emperor?"
Yu Yilong said, "Naturally, it was a necessity for the family. The Empress Dowager was only fifteen years old when she married the late Emperor, and two years later, the late Emperor passed away. She became the Empress Dowager at the age of seventeen!"
Wu Tianjiao suddenly realized, and secretly felt a chill: "Grand Tutor Cao is truly formidable. Not only did he offer his own sister to the late Emperor, but he also gave his two daughters to the Xuanhe Emperor. Apart from Consort Lu in the Western Palace, the women of the Cao family practically control the entire harem. The Cao family's power is truly immense! In that case, the Cao family's power is definitely no less than that of my Wu family!"
Wu Tianjiao, Princess Jingguo, and their entourage traveled and talked, their group resembling a long dragon winding along the official road leading to the capital. Unexpectedly, the weather turned gloomy, and a light drizzle began to fall. Being martial artists, they paid no heed to the light rain and hurried on their way. Around noon, on the distant horizon, a towering city rose, faintly visible, appearing majestic in the wind and rain.
At this moment, Princess Jingguo slowed her horse down, staring blankly at the city ahead, and murmured, "The capital! We've finally arrived at the capital!"
At this moment, a close attendant rode up at full speed and reported to Princess Jingguo, "Reporting to the General, Prime Minister Xiao and Prince Wu are already waiting to greet you at Wangjing Bridge!"
"The Prime Minister has arrived! Prince Wu has arrived too!"
Princess Jingguo's face lit up with joy, and she nodded, saying, "Let's go quickly."
Wu Tianjiao was secretly surprised, thinking to himself, "Princess Jingguo is indeed extraordinary; even Xiao Hongyuan and Wu Wudi came to personally greet her!"
The group continued forward, and soon they saw a procession arrayed ahead, solemnly welcoming Princess Jingguo and her entourage. At the head of the procession was an elderly man, around fifty years old, dressed in court robes; none other than the Imperial Chancellor, Xiao Hongyuan. Beside him stood Wu Wudi, and two attendants held cloud-patterned umbrellas to shield them from the rain. Beside them followed the two sons of the Xiao family, Xiao Guodong and Xiao Guoliang, and the second son of the Wu family, Wu Tianhu.
Upon seeing Princess Jingguo arrive, Xiao Hongyuan and Wu Wudi hurried out to greet her, followed by a retinue of attendants. Princess Jingguo also rode up to meet them, saying, "I am truly flattered and overwhelmed by your presence outside the city, Your Excellency Prime Minister and Prince Wu. I dare not accept such a favor."
Prime Minister Xiao Hongyuan chuckled and said, "Your Highness, what are you saying? You have traveled thousands of miles to the capital; it is you who have had a hard time."
"Princess, you've endured a long and arduous journey, sleeping in the open and covered in dust. You must be exhausted!"
Wu Wudi took two steps forward and said with a smile.
The three exchanged pleasantries for a while. The two young masters of the Xiao family and Wu Tianhu then approached Princess Jingguo to greet her. Xiao Guodong even brought a cloud-patterned umbrella, intending to shield her from the rain, but Princess Jingguo refused his kindness. For her, getting a little wet was nothing; on the battlefield, it was commonplace.
萧国栋讨好不成，碰了一个软钉子，大感无趣，脸色臭臭的。这引得武天虎暗自窃笑不已，一脸的轻蔑之色。
武无敌武功高强，内功深厚，神识更是惊人，武天骄跟在靖国公主身边，武无敌很快便注意到了他，感受到他身上散发出的皇武气息，暗暗心惊，如果是一般皇武者，武无敌自然不会在意，只是武天骄一个「少女」那就太让他吃惊了，盯着武天骄，上下打量，瞧得武天骄心中发毛，惴惴不安，心说：「他认出我了？」
靖国公主也注意到武无敌打量自己的护卫「月奴娇」大感得意，格格一笑，指着武天骄对武无敌道：「武王爷！这位是月奴娇，是本宫在路上招收的护卫，武王爷是否觉得她很不一般？」
武无敌点点头，微微皱眉，觉得这个「月奴娇」似曾相识，她那身上的气息很是熟悉，至于在哪见过，却一时也想不起来，闻言含笑道：「是很不一般，这位姑娘武功修为让本王觉得诧异，恭喜公主殿下收了这么一位护卫，敢问姑娘……」说到此，脸色一变，盯着武天骄问：「你叫月奴娇？」
武天骄心头砰跳，强自镇定着，面不改色，道：「我是月奴娇，月奴娇见过武王爷！」
说着，行了一礼，心道：「难道他发现了什么？」
萧国梁上来瞧了武天骄一会，目露迷醉之色，道：「听说长兴镇的烟云阁有一位叫月奴娇的艺女，不知姑娘和那月奴娇是否是同一人？」
「天下同名同姓人何其之多，公子说得那个月奴娇，小女子并不认识！」武天骄轻笑道。
天空下着雨，大家也不好多说，当下众人便一起向京城进发，武天骄和于一龙等人便跟在靖国公主的后面。一路上，靖国公主和萧宏远、武无敌他们交谈着什么。武天骄内力深厚，虽是远远地跟在后面，隐隐听到一些他们的对话，话中内容大多是边疆的境况以及朝中立太子一事。
最后三人都不说话了，因为京城已经到了。
由于京城除了京戍部队外，外军并不得进入，因此靖国公主只带了武天骄、于一龙等一干亲随将和几百名亲兵进入，当然，那三十六名「天罡女卫」肯定是跟在靖国公主身边的，其余者便在城外扎营。
靖国公主一行人从天京城外城的东门进入，一进入城，熟悉京城之人倒不怎样，那些跟随靖国公主初次来到京城的，纷纷为京城的繁华所倒，各自惊叹不已：「帝国京城，果然繁华，名不虚传！」
作为神鹰帝国的都城，天京城乃是帝国的政治、经济、文化中心，同时也是龙之大陆上最最繁盛的城市。虽然现在有雨已经降临了这个繁盛的都市，但仍阻不住街上的喧闹，人来人往，车水马龙。或许是皇太后的寿辰临近，城中大街小巷，到处张灯结，充满了喜庆的气氛。
来到内城之时，丞相萧宏远对靖国公主道：「公主长年在外，老夫就不便打扰公主与老夫人团聚了，晚上老夫再来拜访。」
武无敌也跟着告辞，与萧宏远一同离去。
靖国公主府坐落城北的东南角，那儿远离闹市，环境幽雅。一路行去，街上人马往来不绝，而一干行人见到樊家的旗帜，皆向他们恭敬行礼，显示出樊家或者靖国公主在神鹰帝国的威望。
越往城北行去，行人便越少，环境也越清幽。
不多时，一干人便到了一处巍峨高在的府第前。只见府第碧瓦红墙，气势宏伟，门正上方有一片金光闪闪的门匾，上书「靖国公主府」五个金漆大字。
武天骄和靖国公主等人下了马，就听到府内一阵风似的：「公主殿下回来了……·」的声音不断响起。
门口披甲执锐的卫士和正忙碌的仆人看到靖国公主，眼中皆闪过激动的神情，一起向靖国公主恭敬行礼，齐声喊道：「参见公主殿下。」
靖国公主微笑地点了点头，快步地走进府第，武天骄和于一龙等人紧跟其后。
众人才进了厅，便听见一阵细碎的脚步声飞奔地从内堂传来。
武天骄听脚步声知道一个女子，心想：「一定是靖国公主的母亲樊夫人了！」
关于樊夫人，民间的传闻非常之多，传闻最为流广的便是她和宣和帝的私情，众说纷纭，说什么的都有。但不管怎么说，樊夫人可是一位非常了不起的女人，传闻她有着绝世之容、倾国倾城之貌，颠倒众生，年轻时不知迷倒了多少男人。
轻盈的脚步声越来越近，只见一个美艳难言的美妇从屏风后婀娜地转了出来。
此美妇人穿着一身淡绿色的凤袍，脸上不施脂粉，发鬓上斜插着一支镶玉凤钗，体态高·挑优美，气质婉约脱俗，让人有一种清风拂面般的舒心感觉。年龄看上去约在四旬左右，正是虎豹之年，女人生理最旺盛的阶段，加上那让人窒息的绝世娇颜，就像一朵盛开的鲜花般，让人深深地迷失进去。
武天骄大为吃惊，感到眼前有点发黑，心道：「这女人是谁？如此的年轻貌美，不像是樊夫人？」
再观厅中其它的靖国公主的一些亲随，个个也皆是吃惊非小，显是为此美妇人的丽色所震憾。
看到靖国公主，那女子脸上定时现出了无比喜悦的神情，说道：「素素，你可回来了。」
声音柔美动人，让人闻之心旷神怡。
靖国公主的脸上也现出激动的神情，急步上前，握住了那女子的手，道：「娘亲——」
那女子也紧紧握着靖国公主的手，仔细打量着靖国公主的脸，道：「素素，你清瘦了。」
武天骄愕然，心想：「这妇人果然是樊夫人，果然如民间传闻般是个颠倒众生的尤·物，难怪宣和老皇帝会拜倒在其的石榴裙下！」
他现在有点理解民间为何流传着那么宣和帝和樊夫人的风流韵事，如此绝色佳人，也难怪宣和帝为之神魂颠倒，看来靖国公主真的有可能是樊夫人私·通生下的。按推算，靖国公主都四十多了，樊夫人现在至少应该有六十好几岁了，不过现在再怎么看，她也不会超过四十二、三岁，樊夫人又不是武者，真不知她是如何保养的？
而且武天骄总觉得樊夫人的气质和宣华夫人有几分相似，都是一样的端庄娴静，举手投足间也都是一样的优美动人，就连相貌也有几分的相似。不过论起美色，两人倒是不相上下，不过樊夫人更多了一种熟透了女人的风情。
樊夫人和靖国公主温存了一会儿，靖国公主微笑道：「来，娘亲，女儿来为你介绍一个我最新招收的护卫。」
转身向着武天骄，对樊夫人道：「娘亲，这位就是我在路上招收到的护卫，她名叫月奴娇。」
说着，转头又对武天骄道：「奴娇，她是我娘。」
武天骄连忙走到她面前，立时闻到一股如寒梅般的清香传来，令人精神为之一振。他定了定神，行最隆重的礼节，口中道：「属下月奴娇，拜见夫人。」
樊夫人微笑道：「奴娇姑娘，不必多礼，请起。」
说着，仔细地端详了武天骄一会儿，转身对靖国公主笑道：「不知为何，娘见到月姑娘时，感到有一种莫名的亲切感，就象她是我们的亲人似的，真是奇怪。」
靖国公主惊讶地道：「哦，娘亲也有这种感觉吗？我还以为只有我才有这种感觉。事实上，当女儿第一眼见到奴娇时，就有这种感觉。」
武天骄心中也是一阵激动，事实上他又何尝不是如此？见到靖国公主和樊夫人时，觉得有一种他们就是自己最亲的人一样的感觉。望着并肩而立，都拥有绝代风华的一对母女花，不由怦然心动，笑道：「那或许是因为我们天生有缘吧，不然，属下又怎么会成为公主殿下的护卫呢！」
樊夫人和靖国公主同时笑了起来，齐声道：「不错。」
厅内其它樊家的家将也笑了起来。
靖国公主和樊夫人都含笑地望着武天骄，樊夫人的眼中自然地流露出了几分慈爱之色。
