Princess Consort Is No Pushover

But Emperor Hongyuan's recent behavior has become more and more excessive.

Yesterday he received a secret report saying that Emperor Hongyuan had become obsessed with elixir, and his temper became extremely irritable, suspicious and terrifying.

If the palace people are a little careless, they will be beheaded by him.

At the same time, while he was not in the imperial city, he plotted to kill Zhang Fuyin, Tian Zhang and others.

The queen also asked Su Changxiao to use witchcraft to frame the eldest princess. Fortunately, the eldest princess had already made arrangements, so she was not framed by them.

These people are so vicious and ambitious. He killed his parents back then, but now he wants to kill them all, leaving no way out.

How could he just sit back and wait to be killed? He will never let the country of Chu fall into the hands of such villains.

Having said that, he bowed his hands slowly to Jiang Ning, "Your Excellency must be very angry when he knows these things, and he also sympathizes with the suffering of the people. This King knows that your Excellency is the pillar of the country, the mainstay, and has a heart for the common people, so he came to see you. .For the sake of the people of the world, this king hopes that your lord can help me."

Hearing this, Jiang Ning's face suddenly turned pale.

He sighed heavily, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Xiaguan knows very well that the prince is dedicated to the people, and cannot bear the foundation created by the late emperor to be destroyed by villains. But now Xiaguan is just a small governor, and he has long ignored those things. It's over, I really can't help the prince, so I ask the prince to find someone else."

Chu Xuanchen said: "This king has long expected that your lord will say this, is there something unspeakable about your lord?"

He could see that Jiang Ning wanted to join him, but he didn't dare.

Jiang Ning's forehead was covered with cold sweat, his body was trembling, and he said: "To tell the truth, my lord. Back then, I was young and vigorous, and I was relegated by Emperor Hongyuan for speaking up for the late emperor. Two of my three sons were also killed. From then on, the family suffered from constant misfortunes, and the official career was bumpy. It was only later that the subordinate officials found out that the two sons of the subordinate officials were assassinated by Emperor Hongyuan. Fortunately, Mu Yu was raised in the countryside because of his frailty and sickness, so he escaped the disaster!"

"Later, the subordinate officials felt that the emperor would not let Mu Yu go. He took the initiative to write a letter, confessed his mistake to the emperor, and surrendered to him, so he spared Mu Yu. Otherwise, how could Mu Yu be the top student in high school and enter the Imperial Academy? The lower official didn't want Mu Yu to enter the official career, but he had a chivalrous heart to serve the country. He couldn't see the suffering of the people, so he vowed to study hard, hoping to be an official in the court, and be a good official for the people .”

"He has a stubborn temper, so the officials couldn't help him, so they sent him to take the exam. The officials thought he failed the exam, but he won the first prize. Now he is in the limelight. If the emperor knows that you and I are in touch, Mu Yu will definitely be murdered. My lord, now that there are seniors and young people in the lower ranks, with the lives of more than a dozen members of the family on their backs, I really don’t dare to mix these things up, please understand.”

He heard that Emperor Hongyuan originally didn't want Mu Yu to be the champion. Helpless, Mu Yu is well-educated and knowledgeable. When discussing politics in the main hall, he surpassed other students by too many, and was praised by all the examiners.

Under pressure, Emperor Hongyuan named him the number one scholar.

Although Mu Yu is the number one scholar now, he doesn't have the emperor's heart. He was watched and guarded by the emperor, and every step he took was like walking on thin ice, trembling.

The risk of taking refuge in King Li is too great.

He has so many relatives to protect, how can he put them in the whirlpool?

Even though he could see that Chu Xuanchen was a genius from the heavens and had a heart for the world, he didn't dare to have anything to do with him.
