After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

"Twenty years ago, Prince Duan was in a stalemate in a war with the previous dynasty in the south. However, the dog emperor had ulterior motives and slandered him for being involved in the Bianhe gold robbery. Before he even took the throne, he issued eight decrees, asking your father to return to the capital to explain the matter."

"Afterwards, Prince Duan was imprisoned by the dog emperor. A generation of war god, a hero, eventually died of madness. I don't believe that you have been investigating for so long and still don't know the truth."

"Your father fought desperately on the front lines, lacking food and weapons, and in the end he was framed for conspiracy. Was it all worth it?"

"The emperor gave your father the Xiaoyao powder. I don't believe you didn't know. But what have you done these years? You took the thief as your father, acted as an accomplice to the thief, and helped the emperor to fight wars everywhere and attack Xichuan and Xijiang. You even regarded the people left by the previous dynasty as remnants and slaughtered them as soon as possible."

Mu Zhao raised his eyes and stared at Chu Lanyi coldly, "Xiaoyao Powder? Isn't it what you Nanchu offered as tribute? Now you have deliberately improved it into Lingshen Incense, and divided it into several grades according to different concentrations. Who do you think doesn't know it?"

"It's said to help people sleep, but in fact, it was originally designed to make people addicted and lose their minds." Mu Zhao said calmly, "Now it's even more powerful. The improved Lingshen Incense can also be combined with the bone-dissolving poison. Master Chu, you are really a genius, and your subordinates are... talented people."

Chu Lanyi smiled and replied, "At that time, your father was trapped in the war and was injured. He forced himself to return to the capital."

"As soon as he returned, he was caught by the emperor and was accused of many false charges. The emperor was despicable and wanted him dead on purpose. Why would you work for such a bastard emperor?"

"At the beginning, we in Nanchu were already content with our own corner and willing to surrender. But what happened in the end..."

"It was he who acted on his own and took the initiative to provoke the war. In the past twenty years, the Chu people have been worse than ordinary lowly slaves. They have always lived at the bottom of society and their situation is extremely difficult."

"The emperor also spread rumors everywhere. This was his most common trick. He said that we Chu people were from the southern barbarians and that everyone in us could do sorcery. Therefore, in those years, whenever a Chu person was caught, he would torture him to death."

"Don't talk about us insignificant people, just talk about his brother. We are from the same mother, but he treats Prince Duan worse than a dog on the street."

"After your father died, your mother went crazy and jumped into the lake..."

Chu Lanyi kept chattering, and Mu Zhao's eyes were filled with mist.

Back then, it was his aunt, Lady Lin, the wife of Marquis Xuanping, who, upon hearing the tragic news about his mother, rushed into the palace like a madman, and denounced the emperor for being against the rules and forcibly taking a girl from the Lin family and making her the wife of Prince Duan.

The incident caused a big uproar, and the ministers had mixed reactions. The emperor saw that he could no longer suppress the situation, so he could only let his aunt fight to get his mother's coffin back home.

He was cut out of the coffin, and my aunt said he almost didn't survive.

In order to save his life, his aunt initially kept him secretly in a secret room and spread the rumor that she was pregnant.

After several months, he was successfully born with the help of a group of trusted people.

So Mu Huaizhi's actual age is actually half a year older than he is now.

"Mu Huaizhi, if you and I cooperate, the corrupt Da Qi will definitely be overthrown by our joint efforts."

"Once you start a war, the lives of the people will be ruined and the suffering will be great. Have you ever thought about this?"

Chu Lanyi looked arrogant. "If fighting a war can bring us peace and prosperity for hundreds of years, why not do it? If the corrupt old system is not overthrown, how can we be reborn?"

Mu Huaizhi glanced at Chu Lanyi indifferently, "You are unscrupulous and don't take human life seriously. I cooperate with you? Do I think my life is too long?"

"People like you have one attitude when cooperating, but you may have another attitude after you've taken advantage of them. Don't dream. No matter how bad Da Qi is, it's still my homeland. How could I possibly betray my country?"

Chu Lanyi looked at him coldly, "That means there's nothing to talk about."

"If you don't share the same ideals, you can't work together. No matter how much you say, it's useless."

Chu Lanyi smiled, "Come to think of it, Nannan probably doesn't know your true identity yet, right? Tell me, if she knew you were the prince of Duan and that you had lied to her for so long, would she be very angry?" "You don't know her at all." Mu Zhao glanced at him and mocked him, "She likes me as a person. What does it have to do with my identity or status?"

Chu Lanyi was so angry that she wanted to stab him to death on the spot. Her eyes instantly became very sinister. "You said I don't understand her? Where do you get your confidence from? When I was walking hand in hand with her all over the mountains and plains, you didn't even know where we were."

Mu Zhao just responded with a cold laugh.

"Is it interesting to keep talking about the past? You said it was in the past, but what's the use of the past? People should always focus on the present and grasp the future."

"Don't mention the past. You and her were just senior and junior brothers and sisters. From now on, don't act like you can't even be senior and junior brothers and sisters!"

The small round table in front of him was overturned by Chu Lanyi, and the small celadon cups fell to the ground with a bang.

Mu Zhao looked coldly at the crazy man in front of him.

In fact, he had no idea before, as he always felt that Lang'er was distant and estranged from the royal family.

Take the Sixth Prince for example. No matter how good their relationship was before, once the Sixth Prince ascended to the throne of the Crown Prince, Lang'er would still quietly remind him to keep his distance from the Sixth Prince.

Mu Huaizhi was also worried that Lang'er's innate prejudice against the royal family would affect him.

He didn't want to hide anything from her, he just didn't dare to say it...

But now he was not afraid anymore. The moment he handed her the jade seal, he actually kept staring at her, repeatedly pondering her little expression.

The moment she touched the jade seal, her expression was a little frozen, but she soon smiled at him as usual, without any change in her eyes.

Looking at his eyes, they are as clear and soft as ever.

He knew then that he was nagging and thinking too much, and he shouldn't be so unconfident about Lang'er!
Once Lang'er has chosen someone, she will accept everything about him unconditionally. That's great.

This feeling is like eating a bite of chilled bitter melon in the hot summer, which makes the whole body happy.

Another compartment.

The Prince of Pingkang kept circling around, and Huo Zeyuan couldn't help but want to kick him.

"Please sit down!"

"Why did it take so long? What could they have talked about for so long?"

"Do you think something will happen? Will Chu Lanyi attack Huaizhi? Oh, can Huaizhi be his opponent? He has so many poisonous subordinates."

With a creaky sound, the door of the wing room was opened, and Mu Huaizhi, dressed in a spotless white shirt, walked in slowly.

The door of the wing room was slammed shut by the guard outside and locked.

Lu Qian stood up hurriedly, walked to Mu Huaizhi and looked him up and down, "Are you okay? Did they embarrass you?"

"No." Mu Zhao smiled and shook his head slightly, "Don't worry, nothing will happen for now."

"Huaizhi..." (End of this chapter)
