Chapters 51 - 51

Dong Fang Su lowered his eyes in silence. What the Chen had said was precisely what he was most worried about. When Dong Fang Hui was still the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, he had mentioned more than once that if he ascended the throne, he would destroy six nations, and cause the Dazhou to become the only nation on this continent.

How could he persuade such a Dong Fang Hui?

Chen saw through his thoughts and sighed, "Of all the brothers, Your Majesty has always been the closest to you, allowing you to wield military power. However, this matter is related to the world and not something that can be solved with just the word 'affectionate';

After a long period of silence, Dong Fang Su looked up and said: "Your son understands the matriarch's intentions, but it's still too early to discuss this right now, let's talk about it later."

The Chen clenched her teeth. How could she not understand that Dong Fang Su was just fawning on her, in her heart she was still helping the Mu siblings to rebuild the Nanzhao.

Dong Mei had been with the Chen for many years, and was most adept at observing people's expressions and expressions. Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, she was afraid that the mother and son were once again as tense as they were in the kitchen, and said to the Chen: "This past month, Her Highness has been out on a journey, and worked very hard. When I return to the Jinling, he immediately went to pay her respects, and did not even take a rest.

Chen understood what Dong Mei meant and she must have her thoughts, so she said to Dong Fang Su who was still kneeling on the ground: "Alright, go back and take a good rest, and also carefully think about what I have to say to you."

"Yes, your son shall take his leave." Looking at Dong Fang Su's leaving figure, the Chen could not help but sigh, the worry crawling up the corners of his eyes.

"This child, he can usually listen to everything that the Your Majesty says except when he meets him, he is very stubborn. It was like this four years ago, or even like this four years later.

Dong Mei fanned her with her fan, "Actually, as long as Nanzhao is not a threat to Dazhou, it's fine if they continue to exist in Southern Territory.

"Things are not as simple as you think." Chen sighed again, "This matter has nothing to do with him, and yet he insisted on carrying me. How can you be at ease with me?"

Dong Mei lowered her head, not knowing what to say. After a while, the voice of the Chen sounded again, "Looks like this matter can only be started from Princess."

Dong Mei's eyelids jumped, "Master is saying … Let Princess Xuan Ji leave your highness? "

"That's right, this girl is too dangerous staying by Su Er's side. I cannot take this risk."

"It would be good if we could persuade them to leave, but …" Dong Mei hesitated: "Your Highness is their only hope, I am afraid you do not want to let go."

"They have no choice." Following these words, an extremely rarely seen sharpness appeared in her usually gentle and gentle face.

In a corner of the west wing of the Prince Rui's Palace, the Mu siblings talked about everything that had happened in these past few years. When they heard that Xiao Ruo Ao, while using Mu Qian Xue's schemes to become the crown prince and even the emperor, had poisoned her at the same time, causing her to continuously linger on the sickbed for four years, they nearly exploded from anger. The teacups in her hands were forcefully crushed, "How can there be such a shameless, despicable and unscrupulous person under the heavens!"

Mu Qian Xue self-deprecatingly said: "It's fortunate that I was useful to him back then, so it was only a chronic poison that didn't kill me. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have been able to see third brother face to face."

Mu Lin Feng held onto the new tea that Xia Yue had brewed, and said word by word: "If I do not avenge this, I, Mu Lin Feng, swear that I will not be a human!"

Calming the hatred in his heart, Mu Lin Feng asked: "You want to help the Dazhou's power to take revenge against the West Chu?"

Mu Qian Xue did not answer, but said: "third brother doesn't agree?"

Mu Lin Feng muttered to herself for a moment, "If the Eastern side was the Dazhou Emperor, I would naturally wish for it too much. But he is only a Prince, there are many things that cannot be helped, I am afraid that it would harm him." Although he was not as smart as Mu Qian Xue, he was still a knowledgeable person, and did not want to implicate Dong Fang Su, who had already helped them a lot.

"I understand what you mean, then what do you plan to do?"

"Although the Nanzhao was destroyed, the people of the Nanzhao are still around. They are not willing to depend on the West Chu, so I plan to return to the Nanzhao and secretly organize my forces to fight against the West Chu."

Mu Qian Xue frowned her beautiful eyebrows tightly, "This is indeed a method, but if Xiao Ruo Ao finds out, he will definitely use all means at his disposal to kill you."

"We don't need to get into the tiger's den, for the sake of the Mu family, we have to do it no matter how dangerous it is." Seeing that Mu Qian Xue was still worried, he reached out her hand to rub her hair that was as dark as the clouds and laughed: "Don't worry, third brother's life is very tough, Xiao Ruo Ao won't be able to take him away."

Mu Qian Xue nodded her head, since she had decided to restore the Nanzhao, he could not be afraid of wolves and tigers, "When does the third brother plan to leave?"

"In a few days." Without waiting for Mu Qian Xue to speak, he continued, "Don't even think about following me. The journey is long and your health is poor, so this third brother is unable to take care of you."

Mu Qian Xue knew that he was afraid of facing danger, so she said this on purpose, "I know, I will stay in the Jinling. There are some things that I want to understand as well."

"What is it?"

"third brother, you have known King Rui for many years. Have you ever mentioned Emperor Zhou to me?"

"Emperor Zhou?" Mu Lin Feng was surprised by her question, stroking the exquisite decorations on the wall, and spoke slowly: "I only know that he is the fourth son of the Emperor Cheng, that his mother was born in a noble family, that when Shi Wu was just a young girl, she was bestowed the title of crown prince. Two years ago, when the Emperor Cheng passed away, he became the emperor, and according to what the East had said, the two brothers had always been on good terms.

The long window of the Scarlet Condor that was not fully closed was blown open by the wind, causing hot air to rush in crazily. It swallowed the cool air in the room as a colorful butterfly flew in through the window into Xia Yue's room, landing on the table with its wings slightly open.

Staring at the beautiful wings of the butterfly, Mu Qian Xue slowly said. Their brotherly relationship is not as good as King Rui thought it was. "

"Right now, I do not dare to be sure either. I only vaguely feel that it's the right or wrong. I will only be able to judge a little after I've seen the Emperor Zhou."

Mu Qian Xue slowly shook her head, "It's not that I want to, but because I have to. West Chu has been hiding behind the scenes for four years, and I have never revealed myself, but Xiao Ruo Ao's rise to power was too fast, so it is impossible that Emperor Zhou did not suspect me. If I'm not mistaken, Emperor Zhou should have already mentioned to King Rui that I should be meeting him in the palace. — —
