The sun rises in the east.
In the palace.
Mu Bai, who was dressed in a python robe, walked past quickly with an angry look on his face and a powerful aura that shocked the surrounding servants.
What's going on, Your Highness, why are you so angry?
Soon, Mu Bai came over from outside Shou'an Palace, and rushed directly into the dormitory regardless of the waiter's obstruction.
In the palace, on the dragon couch, Emperor Shang noticed the aura of the visitor, opened his eyes, and reprimanded indifferently, "Bai'er, after you became the prisoner, have you forgotten all the rules?"
"Father!"
Mu Bai knelt down and bowed, and said in a deep voice, "I heard from my mother that you want to marry Murong and Li Jiaoxi. I think this is inappropriate. I hope my father will think again!"
"What? Aren't you and Professor Li always on good terms?"
Emperor Shang said calmly, "Now that Li Jiaoxi is the heir apparent of the Marquis of Ganyang, marrying Murong doesn't mean he has dishonored his status. I think this marriage is very suitable."
"Father, have you never thought about Murong's feelings?"
Mu Bai raised his head and asked with a heavy expression, "Have you ever asked Murong for his opinion from the beginning to the end?"
"When it comes to important matters like marriage, the parents' orders and the words of the matchmaker are still like this among the people, let alone the emperor's family!"
Emperor Shang's eyes turned cold and he responded, "Throughout the ages, in all dynasties, is it possible that the royal family has asked the princesses for their opinions one by one before getting married? Bai'er, you are the prince, the future great merchant. Emperor, how could you say such childish words!"
"My son is Murong's brother first, and then a prince."
Anger flashed in Mu Bai's eyes and he said, "Could it be that in my father's eyes, you only have imperial power, and we are just your pawns!"
"presumptuous!"
Hearing this, Emperor Shang slapped the bed, sat up straight, and said angrily, "Fourth, don't think that just because you are in the position of supervising the country, you can do whatever you want in front of me. This great businessman can't help it." You decide!"
"This position of superintendent of the country is not rare for me. My father can take it back at any time!" Mu Bai said in a deep voice, then stood up and left without saying any more nonsense.
On the dragon bed, Shang Huang's face turned red and white with anger. After a long time, he closed his eyes and let out a deep breath.
This fourth child is indeed the same as before, and has not changed at all.
at the same time.
In Weiyang Palace, Queen Changsun looked at the news sent from Prince Zhongwu's Palace, her expression condensed.
The lifespan of an ordinary person.
"Mother, what did my aunt say?" Murong asked with concern.
"It is true that Professor Li is disabled and his cultivation has been completely ruined. However, he can enjoy an ordinary human lifespan."
Empress Changsun answered truthfully, "In addition, Feng Yu, on behalf of Prince Zhongwu's Palace, has reached an agreement on cooperation with the Li family to promote your brother to the throne as soon as possible."
After hearing her mother's words, Murong was shocked and asked in a solemn voice, "Mother, what should we do?"
"Of course we will help you with all our strength."
Empress Changsun said calmly, "This is what I want, otherwise Feng Yu and your aunt would not make a decision so quickly."
"Mother."
Murong was moved in his heart and called softly.
It turned out that her mother had done so much for her secretly.
"Your father is too suspicious."
Empress Changsun sighed softly and continued, "Moreover, in recent days, your father has deliberately rewarded several concubines with princes. You should understand the meaning, right?"
"What did the Queen Mother say?"
Murong was shocked and said, "Is it possible that the father wants to cultivate a new powerful prince?"
"It's possible."
Empress Changsun nodded and said, "Everyone in the palace is just a loser. After those concubines received heavy rewards, many people's attitudes immediately changed. I guess that your father may just want to knock the mountain to shake the tiger. But that won’t be the case in the future, we’ve all reached this point and we can never go back.”
Having said this, Empress Changsun paused, looked at her daughter in front of her, and said seriously, "The Empress has also thought about siding with your father in order to gain more benefits for you and your brother. Now It seems that this step is not feasible, and power must still be in our own hands so that we will not be walking on thin ice like today."
"The Queen, the Fourth Highness is here!"
At this moment, a chamberlain quickly entered the hall and reported with a respectful expression.
"Mother."
As soon as the servant finished speaking, Mu Bai's voice rang out from outside the palace. Immediately, he quickly walked into the palace and bowed respectfully.
Seeing the anger on her son's face, Queen Changsun immediately realized something and asked, "Did you go to your father's place?"
"Um."
Mu Bai nodded and said in a deep voice, "I had a quarrel with my father."
"Confused!"
Queen Changsun's expression changed and she asked anxiously, "You didn't say anything too extreme, did you?"
Mu Bai was silent, and after a moment, he said softly, "Mother, I don't want to be the prisoner of this country anymore!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Empress Changsun scolded, moved her eyes to the chamberlain in front of her, and ordered, "Go out and guard, don't let anyone in!"
"yes!"
The chamberlain took the order and immediately turned around and left.
"Bai'er."
After the servant left, Empress Changsun suppressed the turmoil in her heart and patiently advised, "Don't act impulsively. Think about how much the Queen Mother, Prince Zhongwu's Palace, and Li Jiaoxi have sacrificed to push you to where you are today." With hard work, we have finally reached this level, so how can we just give up?"
"Is being a supervisor of the country just a matter of words to my father?"
Mu Bai sighed softly, "If he wants to take it back, he can take it back at any time."
"no the same."
Empress Changsun shook her head and responded, "Just like the position of prince, although your father can decide who to be the prince with just one sentence, but before saying this, even your father must think twice. Now that we have taken the position of supervising the country, it means that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have recognized you as the future Shang emperor. This is the general trend that Li Jiaoxi said. Do you think it is easier to follow the trend or go against the trend? And it’s easier?”
After saying that, Queen Changsun handed over the secret letter on the table and said seriously, "Bai'er, please bear with me a little longer. Now, everyone is working hard to push you to that position. Everything is ready. We are only one step away from success." It’s just the last step.”
Mu Bai took the letter and read the contents, with shock in his eyes.
"Bai'er."
Empress Changsun looked at her son in front of her and said softly, "My mother knows that you don't like those intrigues, so I won't force you. There is only one thing you have to do now, which is to win this national war with all your strength. Li Jianxi and Feng Yu will arrange other matters. This game has already begun and there is no way back. Moreover, Li Jianxi also said in the letter, how can Wang Jian back down so easily!"
