After quickly changing into a set of casual clothes, Lin Muheng hurried towards a courtyard in the capital.

From a distance, the courtyard looked ordinary and unremarkable, but when he stepped inside, he was amazed by its luxurious interior.

It must be admitted that the old emperor of Nanning truly doted on this son.

Back then, the incident of the Second Prince of Nanning being arrested and taken to Daqing caused quite a stir. At that time, Lin Muheng even suspected that the rumors about the old emperor's extreme favoritism towards the Consort and her son were just nonsense.

It should be noted that the Second Prince had been imprisoned in Daqing's prison for a long time, yet the Emperor of Nanning did not take any action to rescue him, not even the slightest move.

It wasn't until later that Lin Muheng realized that all of this was just a scheme, a smokescreen, carefully laid out by the old emperor.

He knew that the more indifferent he appeared to the second prince, the better he could protect the prince's safety.

His sons are always trying to kill the second prince!

As it turned out, the old emperor's wishful thinking was extremely ingenious.

On the eve of his death, he secretly sent his trusted men to Daqing and made a deal with Emperor Rongsheng.

The old emperor revealed the exact location of a salt mine on the southern border to Emperor Rongsheng as a bargaining chip.

Emperor Rongsheng was naturally excited upon hearing this news and immediately summoned Lin Muheng to inquire in detail.

After a thorough investigation, it was confirmed that the Second Prince did not pose any substantial threat to Daqing.

Therefore, Emperor Rongsheng finally granted the request made by the old emperor of Nanning and ordered the second prince to be released from prison.

They also promised to let the Second Prince spend the rest of his life peacefully in Daqing.

Looking back now, the old emperor actually left the second prince a mountain of gold!

Despite the unassuming exterior of this house, every single ornament on the display shelf is worth a fortune.

Although the second prince was not allowed to step out of the mansion at will, the interior decoration, furnishings, and furnishings were extremely luxurious, beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Not only that, the old emperor was also very thoughtful, and thoughtfully sent his son many beautiful concubines for his amusement.

Sure enough, as soon as Lin Muheng stepped into the main hall, the first thing he saw was the Second Prince Mo Xiuzheng, who was happily embracing two beautiful women on his left and right.

When Mo Xiu saw Lin Muheng's figure, his expression immediately changed, and he hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "Everyone, hurry down!"

Upon hearing this, the women gracefully withdrew like willows swaying in the breeze, and before leaving, they did not forget to send flirtatious glances and winks to Mo Xiu.

Mo Xiu quickly put on a fawning smile, stood up to greet him, and said, "Your Majesty's esteemed presence truly honors my humble abode! I wonder what brings Your Majesty here? But whatever Your Majesty commands, I will gladly die for you!"

However, Lin Muheng seemed not to hear Mo Xiu referring to himself as a "commoner" at all, and did not take his nonsense to heart.

After all, how could ordinary people afford such a luxurious lifestyle? This so-called "commoner" notion is utterly absurd and laughable!

However, Lin Muheng knew very well that this person had always acted this way, and he really couldn't be bothered to argue with him any further.

Lin Muheng casually glanced at Mo Xiu, and the attendants around him tactfully stepped aside.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Muheng asked directly, "Are you willing to return to Nanning Kingdom?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Xiu was visibly taken aback, but in that instant, Lin Muheng keenly caught the barely perceptible glint in the depths of his eyes.

But what came out of Mo Xiu's mouth was completely different. He said, "I'm doing very well here in Daqing. I have delicious food to enjoy and beautiful women to accompany me. If I were to go back to Nanning, it would be no different from sending myself to my death!"

Lin Muheng smiled slightly, then pressed on, "If it were possible for you to replace your brother's position, would you still be unwilling to go back?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Xiu remained silent for a long time, staring intently at Lin Muheng without uttering a word.

At this moment, Lin Muheng spoke slowly again, saying, "You'd better think it over before you answer me."

Finally, as if he had made up his mind, Mo Xiu's previous nonchalant expression vanished instantly, replaced by a solemn and serious look. He said earnestly, "I am willing, Your Majesty, please help me!"

Lin Muheng raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, and continued to ask, "Don't you need to think this over carefully? You know, if this operation fails, you could lose your life! Compared to that, isn't it wonderful that you're living such a carefree and happy life in Daqing?"

Before he could finish speaking, Mo Xiu knelt down on both knees without saying a word and pleaded urgently, "I beg Your Majesty to lend me a hand and help me fight my way back to Nanning Kingdom to reclaim everything that belongs to me!"

He knew that the Emperor's personal visit meant he must have already come up with a comprehensive plan.

He was willing to take the gamble.

Life here is not bad. Although one cannot go out as one pleases, the mansion is surrounded by top experts from the Great Qing Kingdom.

These experts, on the one hand, shoulder the responsibility of protection, and on the other hand, they are secretly monitoring every move.

Fortunately, with such tight security, at least my life is safe.

However, a seed of revenge had long been planted deep within his heart.

His mother was brutally tortured to death by the eldest prince after his father's death.

Even more outrageous is that the depraved eldest prince actually forcibly took the late emperor's concubine as his own.

His purpose was nothing more than to thoroughly humiliate Mo Xiu. How could he not avenge such a deep-seated blood feud?

Whenever he thought of this, he would be filled with rage, wishing he could immediately kill his enemy to vent his hatred.

But reason told him that he must be patient and wait for the right opportunity before taking action.

Today is the best time.

When his father was alive, he could be a hostage.

Now that the eldest prince has ascended the throne, he is worthless to Daqing.

A prince without soldiers will eventually be killed by the men hired by the eldest prince.

He needs to find a way out for himself.
