Being the King of War's Smart Wife
Negotiation of Mu Xianzhai and Mu Lizheng
THE PROBLEM was not General Rong who wanted to trade faster. But Rongyu who already could not stand living in the War King's Palace. Since the incident of sleeping with the snake was known to the mansion general, General Rong had secretly sent a letter to the empress.
Rongyu could no longer bear to be there and wanted to leave. But Mu Xianzhai really had a tight guard. Even if he dared to run away secretly or do other means, the man did not hesitate to spread a bad reputation.
They used to be friends when they were kids. He often admired her for having incredible courage and skill. But as time passed, he glanced at the crown prince. That throne made her think of becoming empress in the future, looking at the world grandly.
But this shattered face wiped everything away. Therefore, he needed Li Chang Su's blood to heal all the scars on his body.
The crown prince who listened to his sister's story immediately broke the cup again. He expelled all his subordinates and servants, then went to the palace to meet the empress. Mu Ying followed him obediently. He was also annoyed at Mu Xianzhai for daring to bid for the green jade necklace at the auction. So, the necklace he wanted was gone.
When arriving at the palace and meeting the empress, Mu Lizheng and Mu Ying paid a formal tribute. The empress who had been still beautiful smiled elegantly, sitting in her magnificent chair.
Her golden yellow dress became an attraction in itself. Even though that beauty looks natural, a few wrinkles are visible. Which indicates if he is middle-aged. His son and daughter are all grown up now. He's very happy.
Not to mention, his son became the emperor's candidate. While her daughter has the chance to become the empress of another country in the future. This life is complete.
"Have you come to discuss about the matter of Rongyu?" Ask the dignified Empress Chun.
"His son means so," Mu Lizheng nodded.
Empress Chun knew this conversation would be serious. But he asked his daughter to come back. He could not get too far involved in the affairs of his vulnerable son known to the emperor. Mu Ying left even if she did not want to.
After Mu Ying left the courtyard, the mother and son finally spoke seriously about the matter of Rongyu. General Rong has pleaded to give his daughter justice. While the empress herself could do nothing to Mu Xianzhai. This was because the emperor himself knew the problem.
In fairness, the emperor was never stingy. The Empress also did not want to take matters into her hands. He could only be behind and support his son's will. As long as there are no mistakes, a dirty road may be a must-have. In the imperial palace, nothing was clean. Each concubine even took some action to kill another concubine.
As the leader of the six palaces, the empress must have her own plan in order to continue standing on this grand chair. Mu Lizheng discussed the plans he had with the empress. The severely middle-aged woman frowned and looked to think a lot. Lu finally nodded.
"Remember, Son. You are the only hope of my mother. If you want to become emperor, then Rongyu will still have to be defended until he ascends the throne later. The rest, leave it to mom."
After saying so, the empress herself had played several roles. This rongyu might be strong and have a war soul. But it does not match the character he wants. In the future, this son should get a good woman. An empress who took care of six palaces, not a court.
If Li Chang Su was here, he would think he was watching a drama that always aired on television. Women in ancient times were forbidden to enter politics, the army or court affairs. But just take care of the backyard and support the husband, pleasing them with the talent at hand.
In ancient times, men did not particularly like heroic women. They would be ashamed if defeated by a woman or sheltered under her soft wings. As men, they prefer to squeeze blood in the body and spill it on the battlefield as a filial filial state. And when you come home, there will be a wife who pleases the eye.
The crown prince, Mu Lizheng, when he heard his mother's words, he was sure that all this had been planned for a long time. Rongyu probably wouldn't enjoy this glory for so long. Because the mother already has a daughter-in-law of choice in her own heart. He doesn't know who it is yet.
"Mother, who exactly will be my empress in the future?" Ask.
"You don't need to know. That must have been prepared for you. You just have to fight to keep all this. Do you understand?"
Mu Lizheng clenched his hands together and nodded weakly, "His son understands."
The empress let out a long sigh raising one of her hands reluctantly, "Alright, you can come back. Don't let your sister get involved in this."
After speaking many things, Mu Lizheng returned to his palace and began to devise a plan. He sent a letter to Mu Xianzhai to negotiate for the release of Rongyu.
It just so happened that Mu Hongzhi was in his palace this time. After his mother kicked his unfilial son out of the house, the War King's Palace became a refuge. Mu Hongzhi did not make any fatal mistake. He was only late in helping his cousin to repel the mutated scorpion and was even stung by its poisonous tail.
Now, the man's right leg is quite swollen and difficult to walk. As a man, he was very embarrassed. So when her mother found out, she was cruelly expelled. He said his strength was lacking.
Good Lord! Where is he still less powerful? While in the military barracks, he killed many rampant mutated beasts. And his mother said it was weak. Mu Hongzhi really wanted to cry without tears. This time he could only sit on a comfortable rattan chair, crying his legs silently.
Seeing that his cousin was out of the study, he wanted to get up and approach, but his right leg would throb pain every time he stepped. So you can just sit without power.
"Cousin, are you going again? Could it be that the other mutated beasts appeared in the city?"
"No. This is another matter," Mu Xianzhai did not want to bother with him. Just came here to see Mu Hongzhi's state first.
"Is this about sister-in-law?"
"No," Mu Xianzhai was like being interrogated by a wife. How could he have such a silly and unreliable cousin the whole time. Fortunately, this was his good cousin, not someone else.
He did not want to say anything at this moment and left her with a few words. Like a husband turning his face away from his wife just for the sake of another woman. Of course this is just an expression. Not a real meaning. But the scene of the two people actually made one get to think about dumping a cousin.
Mu Xianzhai was just waiting in the courtyard, asking the servant to bring Rongyu here. His tone was full of high disgust. When Rongyu heard this, most likely his father had already acted. Thinking that he would soon leave the War King Palace, his heart was delighted.
After dressing well, she wears a veil that covers her head. So that others would only have eyes that were like black pearls. It took him half an hour to reach the main courtyard of the place where Mu Xianzhai was located. The man himself was in no hurry, enjoying the tea well.
When Rongyu came, he sneered silently. How depressing. This woman was only used by the crown prince to ascend the throne. Sometimes he always thinks, how can this woman who used to be his good childhood friend, have a lot of changes.
It turned out that the empress' chair was more seductive. He realized, if he himself became the emperor's candidate, wouldn't Rongyu be clinging to him? Thinking of this alone, he felt lucky to have a silver dragon bracelet. Because the fate of the silver dragon bracelet made him loyal to the one woman who would accompany him for life.
"Did King Xian call me?"
Rongyu did not get a word from the man, so opened the conversation himself.
Mu Xianzhai finished drinking and got up, letting the guards prepare two carriages for him. He only smiled slightly and said that the crown prince missed him.
But this is spoken with contempt. Rongyu simply refrained from being angry or showing any abnormalities, only smiling helplessly.
Two horse carriages were prepared because Mu Xianzhai did not want one carriage with this woman. He also rode his own horse. Two trains drove towards a famous restaurant of the capital. It was written in the letter sent by the crown prince.
At the restaurant, Mu Lizheng was already waiting nervously. Every time he faced this man, his feelings were always uneasy. He had spent four cups of tea to relieve his nervousness.
One of his subordinates came reporting, "Your Majesty, King Xian and Miss Rongyu have already come."
"Let them come."
Not yet had his subordinates reply, a cold voice sounded first.
"The fourth brother was polite. It just so happens that this King is free now ...."
