"How could I not see that it is their scheme? Even if you did not appear today, they would not have chosen the princess." Mu Zheng said as he placed his hands behind his back and looked at the dragon throne.

He was a high and mighty being, how could he not see through Minhan Changyang's schemes? It was just that he was not strong enough to fight against the comfort barrier, which was why he had to endure it. It was really too difficult to be a good emperor.

Mu Ying and Xue Moyun felt very worried and guilty at the same time. They couldn't help Mu Zheng.

"Don't worry, it took so much effort for you two to reach where you are today. I have seen it all with my own eyes." "You are my younger brother, and as for Muyun, he is just like my daughter. I will never break you apart, so you may leave first." Mu Zheng felt a headache, and wanted to be alone and quiet.

"Then, Chendi will head down first." Xue Moyun wanted to say something, but Mu Ying pulled her out.

"This matter is really making things too difficult for the emperor." Xue Moyun felt a little guilty, so she chatted with Mu Ying while walking back to the Duke Palace.

"That's right..." Mu Ying replied and went silent. This was because he didn't know what to say next. They had thought of many ways to deal with it, but they hadn't expected such a situation to occur. But this Minhan Changyang was really too cunning.

Mu Zheng stayed in the imperial study alone for a long time, but still did not think of a better idea. It was as if he had fallen into a trap of doom, and no matter what he did, he could not escape from this plot.

"There's no other way, I can only declare war on them." Mu Zheng had already prepared for the worst.

"Your majesty, it's already late. Why don't you eat something first and see if the officials have a good idea tomorrow. Perhaps this matter might have a chance to change." Eunuch Qin suggested.

Mu Zheng rubbed his sore spot, feeling dizzy. He decided to eat something first.

"Alright." Mu Zheng said.

"Alright, your servant will start the meal now." Eunuch Qin hurriedly said when he saw that the Emperor had agreed.

Mu Zheng did not speak, but thinking about how he would be bored eating alone, he decided that it would be better to go find someone to talk to, and at the same time, find a solution to the problem.

"Wait, let's go eat at Consort Zheng's place." Mu Zheng stood up and said.

"Alright, set up the Purple Jade Palace." Eunuch Qin announced loudly and quickly followed.

Zheng Ziyi got the little kitchen to prepare a table full of good dishes. She predicted that the Emperor would be annoyed today and would definitely come to find her. Thus, she deliberately had her wet nurse bring the princess here, while teasing the princess and waiting for the emperor.

"Coming, coming, Empress, the Emperor is coming." Lv Luo ran in in surprise and said.

Zheng Ziyi quickly tidied up her attire and took the little princess into her arms.

"Rachel, quickly grow up and help your father. In the future, don't make your father worry and don't make things difficult for him. Otherwise, your mother will truly feel sorry for him." Zheng Ziyi hugged the Little Princess, patted her back lovingly, and softly warned her.

Mu Zheng had coincidentally reached the door at this time, and was deeply moved by Zheng Ziyi's words. A kind of warmth rose from the bottom of his heart, temporarily washing away the irritation in his heart.

"The child is still so young, how could he know all this?" Mu Zheng walked in and said.

"Chenqie pays her respects to Your Imperial Majesty." When Zheng Ziyi heard the emperor's voice, she hurriedly saluted while hugging the little princess.

"Get up, there's no need to bow to the princess while hugging her. "What, you haven't started eating yet?" the Emperor asked, sitting down at the table.

"I was preparing to use it, but I thought that Your Majesty would be worrying about matters of the nation today. Your concubine won't be able to eat it either." Zheng Ziyi passed the child to the wet nurse and sat down to pick up some dishes for the emperor.

The emperor took the dishes and glanced at Zheng Ziyi, who had a pleasing sight to behold. On her head was a unique pearl flower, and she was very spirited: "Ever since you gave birth to a princess, you have become a lot more virtuous and gentle, with a bit of a motherly style, very good, very good." Mu Zheng couldn't help but praise him.

"Thank you for the praise, Your Majesty. This concubine has given birth to a princess and feels the importance of a family. His heart had gone from a little girl to a mother to a wife. "I only hope that the princess can grow up safely and healthy. I only hope that the emperor can live a happy and healthy life. This consort will be satisfied."

Zheng Ziyi purposely said while pretending to be a gentle and virtuous little woman.

"It's good that you can think like that. I like it very much. No wonder I feel so bored every time. I always like to come to your place and listen to your opinions, so my heart feels a lot better. " The emperor said after taking a bite of his food.

"Chenqie is only a woman from the palace. The only thing she can do is let the Emperor enjoy a moment of peace and relaxation. If he had luck like Xue Moyun and was able to help the emperor share his worries, then chenqie would definitely go through fire and water and definitely not make things difficult for the emperor like this. "Here, have some of this, your majesty." Zheng Ziyi pretended to be idle and mentioned the matter of Xue Moyun and the marriage.

As Mu Zheng listened to her ramble on, he did not feel bored at all. Instead, he wanted to see what a woman who lived in a palace like her would think.

"Then, how do you think we should settle this?" Mu Zheng asked.

When he heard the emperor's question, Zheng Ziyi was overjoyed. He had already thought of an excuse long ago, but she only slowly spoke up, "Chenqie only had a bad impression. If Your Majesty feels that chenqie was wrong, don't punish her."

"Feel free to speak."

It was only because of this that he purposely chose this prince's concubine, Xue Moyun. He knew that the emperor would definitely take into consideration the feelings of brotherhood and not allow Xue Moyun to go. That way they can use it as an excuse. "

Zheng Ziyi said, and Mu Zheng had already seen through all of them.

"Since this is clearly a trap set for the emperor, why do we have to set it off so that he doesn't lead us by the nose …"

When Zheng Ziyi said this, the Emperor seemed to have found something, and asked: "Why are you slashing your sword?"

"This consolation base was hoping that we would not agree. They have an excuse to start a war. We have to do the exact opposite, agree to it... " Zheng Ziyi said.

"That's not okay, we can't separate Mu Ying, for all these years we have let him down too many times." When Mu Zheng heard this, he immediately rejected her.

"Chenqie knows that the relationship between the prince and wangfei is very deep and we cannot be separated. Chenqie's action is only a temporary measure. Please listen to what chenqie has to say." Zheng Ziyi insisted.

Mu Zheng heard that she seemed to have other intentions, thus he put down his chopsticks and continued to listen.

"We are just pretending to agree, think about it, the goal of being consoled is to find an excuse, if we agree, if they can't find the place to erupt, they will definitely think of another excuse, and at that time, won't Xue Moyun will be free again? This was why it was called a sword moving sideways. We've even become the side that's in the right. " Zheng Ziyi said craftily.

Hearing Zheng Ziyi's words, although Mu Zheng still felt that it was a bit inappropriate, but this was still a method.

"All is fair in arms. I didn't expect you to have some ideas." Mu Zheng praised.

"Chenqie only wants the peace of the country and a stable environment for the little princess to live in." Zheng Ziyi said.

After he finished eating and watched Mu Zheng leave, Zheng Ziyi smiled.

"Empress, this servant doesn't understand. Didn't this Third Prince wish to start a war? Why are you still fighting?" Lv Luo asked in confusion.

"Hehe, you still won't admit it even if I say you're stupid. This Mu Ying had a close relationship with Xue Moyun, how could he agree to this method? The Emperor is willing to give in, but Mu Ying and his wife are not willing to give in at all. When that time comes, their relationship with the Emperor will naturally become estranged, and the more trouble gets worse, the more it will not affect the comfort bases from which they can wage war. "

Zheng Ziyi tidied up her makeup while speaking leisurely.

"This prince has always been the emperor's right-hand man. If there were any estrangement between them, then that comfort barrier would be a good thing for the third prince. To kill two birds with one stone, this lady is truly quick-witted." Lv Luo was enlightened.

Zheng Ziyi sneered twice and did not say a word.

When Mu Lingfeng returned, his face was filled with joy. Today, seeing that Mu Ying and the others were powerless and were just praying to the emperor, was simply too satisfying.

"There will be more good things waiting for you in the future." Mu Lingfeng smiled sinisterly.

"Third Prince, you've returned. Miss Xue has been waiting for you." Butler came forward and said.

Mu Lingfeng hesitated for a moment, then walked in: "What are you here for?" Mu Lingfeng asked bluntly.

"I came to see if there was anything I could do for you. Seeing the prince's joyous face right now, I guess there must be something good going on. " Xue Shaoli stood up.

"Haha, you understand This King's heart very well." Mu Lingfeng sat down and poured a cup of wine, and said, "The envoy came to propose marriage, and even appointed Xue Moyun as the one to do so. Isn't that a good thing?"

Hearing that, Xue Shaoli was immediately overjoyed, and immediately went up: "Then I must congratulate Third Prince."

"I like your cleverness. You'll understand as soon as you hear it." Mu Lingfeng praised her.

"Because chenqie wholeheartedly works for the Third Prince, so of course I must understand the Third Prince's intentions." Xue Shaoli fawned as he smiled, and personally poured a cup of wine for Mu Lingfeng.

Mu Lingfeng hummed to himself as he sat for a while. Then he sat up: Our wedding day is near, how are your preparations going?

Xue Shaoli had come precisely for this matter and their marriage was near. In the last two days, she had been worried that the matters that she had come to cause might be delayed, so she had specially come to ask Mu Lingfeng.

"I don't have much to prepare. I'm just worried that you might not be able to arrange time for this envoy to arrive here, third prince …"

"It's alright. We'll do it according to the original date. It's not a big deal, so we won't delay it." Mu Lingfeng waved his hand and said.

Hearing Mu Lingfeng's words, Xue Shaoli was overjoyed. She was happy because her wedding date didn't change. And because of Mu Lingfeng's indifferent attitude, she felt dejected.

"And you might even be able to use the marriage to do something." Mu Lingfeng calculated as he drank.

Hearing his words, Xue Shaoli's heart became even more dark. Because every woman has a bride's dream in her mind, and dreams of the day of her marriage is beautiful and happy. Actually, she also hoped that one day, she would be as touched as Xue Moyun was at her wedding. Unfortunately, looking at it now, Mu Lingfeng only had power and status in her heart, and had no time to care about the personal feelings of his children.

Xue Shaoli sighed. Since she loved him, then she must love his everything to help him ascend to the throne in the future.
