Thinking back to when Leng Rumei had been chosen to serve as the imperial concubine, wasn't she also a pure child? She wanted to pursue her own love, her own happiness. However, after staying in the palace for a few years, she had become someone who schemed and plotted everywhere. She spent her time and effort to curry favor with the emperor and tried to find a way to win her favor.
"Empress, your words are wrong. This Lady Yuchi is innocent and sees me as her elder brother. She has true feelings for me. How could I be unscrupulous and marry her because of my own future? It wouldn't be fair to her."
Mu Zhuo knew that not all concubines in the palace were chosen by him. Sometimes, he would have to accept some of his family background, and a loyal general's daughter would become his concubine. However, he absolutely could not use this Yuchi Min.
"Foolish!" The Queen was instantly angry.
"Because you are the eldest son, although you were already appointed as the crown prince, you still live in the Eastern Palace. However, all sorts of powers inside and outside of Western Paradise are eyeing the throne, and your royal brother, and even your uncles, have been drooling over it for a long time. Although the palace seemed calm, it was actually filled with dark waves. Have you forgotten how badly you have been plotted against by Mu Lingfeng? The Queen scolded him harshly.
"Forgive me, Imperial Mother." Seeing the empress's anger, Mu Zhuoyun hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Now that you've calmed down just a bit, you can forget about everything else. I see that Madame Yuchi has quite a bit of affection for you. A good marriage is greatly beneficial to your future, and yet you want to talk about love for me? Talk about mutual affection? " The Queen was extremely angry.
"Imperial Mother, please forgive me. This son knows that you are doing this for me. As for the others, you can take them all in if you want. I'll just as the Empress said, take them all in." However, Yuchi Min's mind is pure and her personality is straightforward. It would be inappropriate for her to get involved in this harem's mess. " Even though Mu Zhuo knew that the empress was angry, he still could not accept her arrangement.
Do you think that you can sleep easy just because you're the crown prince? You followed the honored tutor around as you read the history books, and through the generations, several princes were the last to ascend to the throne! "There are a few emperors who didn't fight for them themselves."
When the Queen heard Mu Zhuozhi's words, she became heartbroken and resentful that she had failed.
"Muhou, this son of yours knows that he is indeed fond of playing, and does not know what to do. However, ever since Mu Lingfeng had truly hurt me last time, I have started to reflect on my mistake. I began to realize that I was too careless before. Thus, for the past one or two years, other than studying the way of governing the country, improving one's health and character, and improving oneself … "He even started to train diligently, strengthening his own defense while at the same time tempering his tough personality." Seeing the empress angry, the crown prince tried to console her while explaining.
Hearing Mu Zhuo's sincerity and knowing that he had paid the price, the empress finally realized that Mu Zhuo had begun to mature and had thoughts on what to do. Indeed, compared to before, he had changed a lot.
A person's maturity and understanding came from the fact that reality had taught him a lesson and from his experience. Seeing that Mu Zhuo had matured, the empress knew that he had experienced many things behind his back and began to soften his heart.
"Since you have your own thoughts, the Queen Mother will not care about you anymore. I just want you to be able to make your own decisions clearly and clearly. " The Empress sighed.
"Empress, since the crown prince has put it this way, although Miss Yuchi has some power, it isn't necessarily a good thing for her to be too naive in the harem. Let's respect the crown prince's decision for once. " Leng Rumei thought for a moment and supported Mu Zhuoyun.
"Alright, then mother will temporarily delay the matter of Na Fei for a while. You can think about it later." The Queen finally let go.
"Thank you mother." Mu Zhuo Qing happily kowtowed.
"Get up. It's just that your mother has a few words to warn you. This palace is full of struggles, and everyone is scheming against each other. You have to be a bit more ruthless." Take Miss Yuchi for example. You were almost caught red-handed, but fortunately, this girl helped you get out of this predicament safely. Otherwise, this matter will not be a small matter. "
The empress was still fearful when she thought of this.
"Thank you mother, your son will definitely pay attention in the future." Mu Zhuo understood the empress's painstaking efforts and also knew what he should do in the future.
After exiting the palace, Mu Zhuzhe felt the seriousness of his task. He also felt more and more that he lacked someone who could come up with a plan. When his heart felt heavy, he wanted to pour out some information. At this moment, he thought of the cold moon.
Unfortunately, he had invited her several times and she had not come, so it would be better for him to go and find her. Mu Zhuo thought as he left the palace.
Due to the previous incident with the enclosure field, Mu Lingfeng was suspected by the emperor. He was believed to have scheming on the throne and Mu Zhuo's identity. Mu Lingfeng was filled with fear and trepidation, but in his heart, he hated Mu Zhuo even more. In fact, he even began to have a grudge towards the Emperor.
"He's also his son, but he actually dares to be so biased towards that useless bastard Mu Zhuo. Father must be really muddleheaded." "How about he stop being some sort of emperor and just directly let me be in his place?"
Mu Lingfeng was completely drunk in the secret chamber, and even the Emperor started to scold him without any warning. In truth, he was very ambitious and had long harbored the intention to disobey. Even if he won the title of Crown Prince, it wouldn't be enough for him. He couldn't wait to sit on the Dragon Throne.
"Third Prince, you mustn't speak nonsense." Even though he was in a secret room, when the butler heard Mu Lingfeng say such outrageous words, he would tremble in fear, afraid that others would find out.
"What's there to be afraid of? Just watch. One day, I will directly say these words in front of him. I will call him an old fool and an unconscious ruler." Mu Lingfeng, who was drinking wine to strengthen his courage, started to boast shamelessly.
The steward was left with no choice but to go to the door and command the guards to keep an eye on them. Don't let even a single fly in.
"Yes sir!" The guards cheered up and shouted their agreement.
Only then did the butler feel relieved. He called a servant over to pour some hangover soup and bring it to Mu Lingfeng.
"Third Prince, come and drink this sobering soup." The butler was very careful.
"Hahaha, ah hahaha, Mu Zhuoyun, father, sooner or later I will step down. Let me be the emperor."
"Even if I have to retreat ten thousand steps and am unable to sit on the crown prince's seat, I will still have royal father bestow the title of crown prince to Zheng Ziyi's child. In the future, when he ascends to the throne, I will be the Supreme Emperor. royal father would never know that I gave him such a big green hat.
Mu Lingfeng was crazy to dare to say such words. The steward's heart almost jumped out when he heard this. He was really afraid that someone would know about this.
"Yes, yes, yes. Third Prince, you're right. Quick, drink this." The butler passed over the soup again. He was really afraid that Mu Lingfeng would say something surprising again.
