He was not as tall as Murong Yu, and was slim, but he also had a slender and agile figure. Although he did not look very strong, his beauty was even more outstanding, and his horse was light and comfortable. Once they were out of the main road, he suggested that they ride quickly. Murong Yu did not agree, but he raised his whip and led Murong Yu and the guards to follow behind him.
It only took less than an hour to reach the place. From afar, Ming Nan Mountain looked lush and verdant, as if the spring had been washed clean by water. It looked like a huge emerald that had been left behind by the heavens.
As they drew nearer, the red, pink, and white azaleas drew all their attention, and there were stalks after stalks of azaleas, clumps of azaleas, clumps of azaleas, and tall trees, and on both sides of the path were azaleas, which had already bloomed with the utmost joy. The mountain roads spiraled up slowly. In some places, there were even steps made from bluestone and there were quite a few visitors. They walked and looked at each other as they walked, and they were all relaxed and at ease.
Mu Rong Qing and Mu Rong Yu dismounted and left. Not long after they left, Mu Rong Qing Bai's forehead was covered in sweat.
"Royal brother, there's a pavilion over there. Let's rest a bit before we go. I'm tired from riding my horse just now." Murong Yu considerately suggested.
Mu Rong Qing chuckled. "How can you be tired after such a short journey? You must be afraid that I'll be tired. Even though I've already gotten rid of the poison, I still can't do it. I'm already panting from just a few steps."
"We'll be fine after a short rest. The surrounding scenery is also quite nice." Murong Yu entered the pavilion first. Mu Rong Qing shook his head lightly and followed him in while the guards stayed around the area.
There was someone inside the pavilion, and seeing that one of the two people was handsome and upright while the other was as beautiful as a flower, he couldn't help but want to take another look, but was scared by Murong Yu's cold gaze and the god-like might of the guards, so he reluctantly gave the pavilion to them. When the others left, Murong Qing signaled to his guard with her eyes.
"Imperial Brother, do you have something to say to me?" After the guards had left, Mu Rong Qing still remained silent as he gazed at the short and beautiful hills beside him. Murong Yu spoke first.
Mu Rong Qing turned around and smiled. He sat down on a stone bench and said to Mu Rong Yu, who was standing there solemnly, "Sit down and tell me. There's no need for you to be so serious. It's not a big deal. We're just casually chatting."
Mu Rong Yu followed Mu Rong Qing's instructions and sat down. He still felt that Mu Rong Qing must have something important to say, but he wouldn't continue to ask. If Mu Rong Qing wanted to say something, he would naturally say it.
After a moment of silence, Mu Rong Qing asked faintly, "Yu, do you think I can become the Emperor?"
It was natural for him to not say anything, but the moment he opened his mouth, he asked such a question. Murong Yu was stunned for a moment before asking with some restraint, "Why did royal brother suddenly ask this?"
"Tell me about it." On Mu Rong Qing's exquisite face that was like a painting, her eyes were as clear as water.
"Chendi thought that everything would come to an end after he did it. Royal brother would definitely be a wise, humble and benevolent person, and he would definitely be a good emperor." Murong Yu said honestly.
"You've learned to flatter people." Mu Rong Qing smiled again. "Let me tell you the truth. I don't want to be the emperor at all."
"Royal brother, why do you say that?" Murong Yu was slightly surprised. He didn't understand what Mu Rong Qing meant by saying these words. Was it out of goodwill or out of probing?
Mu Rong Qing's slender fingers tapped the stone table lightly with the zither. "Royal father is the true love, not only does he love us brothers dearly, he also treats us as his family, but many people do not understand the concept of grace. The case you've investigated this time is proof of that, in fact, you should know that the Northwest is just a corner of your heart.
"Father has already sensed that he will intensify his discipline."
"Father sought me out two days ago with the faint intention of abdicating from the throne, so I'm very worried. I haven't told anyone about this, but after some thought, I felt that I wasn't qualified to succeed the throne, so I asked you to come out and discuss it."
The relationship between him and Mu Rong Qing had always been a bit delicate. When Mu Rong Qing was young, he had always been proud and arrogant, but he was only a child. He didn't really care about Mu Rong Qing, the little brother that was born from a palace maid, but in the past two years, it had been getting better and better.
Normally, he would also be willing to maintain a friendly brotherly relationship with Mu Rong Qing. However, this kind of question made him hesitant, making it difficult for him to reply.
Mu Rong Qing noticed his hesitation and said with a sigh, "Don't be nervous. Some things are things that I understand too late. As long as you are willing, we will always be good brothers. I just think that you will be stronger than me as the emperor.
"Junior brother is terrified!" The more he said, the more outrageous he became. Murong Yu was truly shocked by him.
I never thought that you would suddenly return to the palace. He was originally very smart, and only imitated my royal father's ways of governance at every turn; if he succeeded the throne, he would most likely continue to walk the path of my father. It's not that good governance is bad, it's just that right now, and even after the next twenty years, it's not very suitable for him … "
Murong Yu might be respectful and respectful, but he was not completely trusting Murong Yu. This could not be blamed on him, the emperor's house was flattering me by scheming and scheming, and he had even gone through a lot of cruel persecution. He was only being cautious in this situation, could it be that he really only wanted to keep his position, then he wouldn't continue to painstakingly do so … Or rather, it might be better to say that he didn't even need to continue anymore …
Mu Rong Qing's heart was filled with doubts, but he didn't want to think too much about it. He just wanted to be cautious, contribute to the country, and live a peaceful life with Yue Er.
"Forget it, forget it, I didn't believe in fate before, but now I feel that fate is very magical, many times destiny makes a fool out of me, and when I have no other choice, I hope that you can understand me no matter what I do in the future." Forget it, forget it, I don't believe in fate, but now I feel that fate is very magical, many times fate makes a fool out of me, and when I have no other choice, I hope that you can understand me no matter what I do.
Mu Rong Qing's voice was low and slow. After he said this much, even though Murong Yu didn't say anything, he felt slightly better after he said it.
Murong Yu wasn't completely unaware of his words. It was just that he wasn't willing to think in the direction he had guessed at. Thus, he could only remain silent.
"I hope that Yue Er is a man in this womb. You all better give birth to a few more children in the future." Mu Rong Qing suddenly smiled. He couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the lively Yue Er giving birth to children.
When Murong Yu saw him mention Yue'er, his expression became a lot more relaxed. "It's too bitter to have children, so I don't want her to suffer too much. She was still young to begin with, so she shouldn't have suffered so early. In the end, I was still too selfish. Fortunately, she also really loved the child in her womb. "
"Since you're getting married, you naturally have to give birth to a child. Don't think too much, some things are yours, even if it's not your forced request, you still won't be able to get it."
Mu Rong Qing seemed to be implying something today, but he didn't make it clear that Mu Rong Yu was too stubborn. Moreover, the topic was too sensitive, so he didn't ask about it.
"In my entire life, I feel that right now, I am the happiest. God used royal father to bring Yue'er to my side, it is enough to cancel all the loneliness I had in the past. I don't have any other requests in this life." Murong Yu sincerely expressed his thoughts.
Mu Rong Qing listened but didn't say anything. There was a complicated expression on his face. It seemed that he was both gentle and emotional. Before Murong Yu could see it clearly, he had already turned his head to look at the rhododendron.
"Although this flower is not expensive, especially when it is blooming at such a good time, it is also so gorgeous when it is blooming, however, the spring rain is unpredictable, after a few rounds it falls down. I had always liked plum blossoms, but now I feel that it is becoming more and more lonely, so I want to see other flowers. Mu Rong Qing became depressed again. He didn't even try to hide his expression in front of Mu Rong Yu.
Murong Yu answered carefully, not daring to think too much into it.
The sky was getting darker and the wind was getting stronger. The clouds were covered in gray and were moving fast. In the distance, there were two gray-clothed people lying in the grass, watching the two of them closely.
"It seems like they won't leave for a while. Let's go down the mountain and return to our masters!" A person said.
Another person said, "Our men are not here yet. There are twelve of them altogether, and each of them is a first-rate expert. I don't know if the Crown Prince has any skills, but Murong Yu is also a first-rate expert. We might not be able to beat him."
"Why are you worrying so much? We're just trying to find out about the situation. Let Master decide when we return to report." The man thought better of it, moving back as he spoke.
"Aren't I thinking for our sake? Don't tell me you want to throw your life away for nothing?"
"I don't want to die, but life and death are not for me to decide. Who told us to lower ourselves to others? Master is still waiting.
After the two of them slipped out of sight, they quickly retreated down the mountain. Originally, they weren't too far away from the foot of the mountain, but after taking a detour, they found it a bit more difficult.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, they entered a large carriage next to a tea house. Inside sat a young, well-dressed youth. His features were handsome, but his expression was extremely gloomy.
"To make a long story short, what is the situation on the mountain?" The youth's voice was ice-cold, and the two big men couldn't help but tremble.
