Jiang Muyu suddenly realized: "So, your great cause is to revive the Xia Dynasty?"
"Yes, the current Emperor Xuancang is tyrannical and the people are living in misery." He said firmly: "I will use my lifetime to take back the country that belongs to my Xia family and return peace and stability to the people of Xuancang."
Jiang Muyu finally understood the cause of his death, which should be the failure of restoring the country.
But how could such a big thing be handled so quietly, making everyone think that he died in an accident? There is probably only one person in the world who has this ability...
"Does the Emperor know your identity?"
Liang Qingchen rubbed her hair and said in a hoarse voice: "My Zhao Zhao is indeed very smart."
Jiang Muyu found it unbelievable: "How could he allow you, the crown prince of Xuan Cang country, to lie dormant in Tianqian for sixteen years?"
"Of course there are conditions." Liang Qingchen said: "Do you think that since he is not the legitimate son of the empress, and is the unfavored fourth prince, he can sit on the throne safely with his own talents?"
"If you have this ability, why don't you become the emperor yourself?"
"The current emperor is very smart. He discovered early on that I was not Liang Hongling, but he was willing to keep the secret for me because he wanted to get my help. It just so happens that I have no interest in the throne of Tianqian. He promised to help me restore the country, and I promised to help him stabilize the country. It's a mutually beneficial relationship."
This makes sense. No wonder the emperor sent all the other princes to their fiefdoms and only left Liang Qingchen in the capital. He not only made him a prince, but also gave him real power.
Jiang Muyu couldn't help but feel a little worried after knowing so many things at once. She looked at Liang Qingchen's eyes quietly and asked seriously: "Liang Qingchen, if I told you that the cause of restoring the country would fail and you might even lose your life because of it, would you still continue?"
"Yes." He said without hesitation.
"Why?"
"Because this is a mission, I have tens of thousands of supporters behind me. They have been preparing for this for many years. Countless people have paid the price with their lives over the years. I cannot let them down even if I have to sacrifice my own life."
Jiang Muyu understood his determination and stopped trying to dissuade him.
There are always some people in this world who value missions more than life. She may not be so brave, but she will not let herself become an obstacle to him.
She put her arm around his shoulders and said seriously, "Liang Qingchen, don't worry, I will definitely help you."
Liang Qingchen looked at her serious expression, and the smile in his eyes became softer. "As long as you protect yourself well, that will be the greatest help to me."
"Don't underestimate me, I'm actually very powerful." Jiang Muyu pouted unhappily.
"Okay, I believe you." He took off his clothes, blew out the oil lamp, and said, "Rest early, we have to travel tomorrow."
The two of them lay on the bed, but Jiang Muyu still couldn't fall asleep. She turned to look at him, "Liang Qingchen, are you really not afraid of death?"
"I am afraid." His voice seemed even deeper in the darkness. "But compared to death, I am more afraid of failing others."
Jiang Muyu fell silent.
Perhaps it was at this moment that she finally understood the meaning of the words "not to be disappointed" that he had written on the lantern.
He has shouldered too many things in his life, for his country, for the people, for those who swore to follow him until death, but not for himself.
…
The next day.
At dawn, Jiang Muyu was called up to wash up. She had her meal in the lobby of the inn today, surrounded by soldiers and guards.
They had just finished eating when Prefect Xu arrived, saying that he was there to see Liang Qingchen off.
Jiang Muyu invited him to sit down and eat together, but he waved his hand to refuse, saying, "I have many things to do, so I can only come here in a hurry to see you off."
Liang Qingchen said, "I didn't expect that Prefect Xu had so many things to do that he didn't even have time for breakfast?"
Prefect Xu quickly explained, "Your Highness has misunderstood. I am usually busy with some trivial matters, but today I received news that several sunken ships were found near Gujiang River, so I had to go and check it out myself."
The Mil River was the name of the main stream they were supposed to pass through yesterday. When they heard that something had happened there, someone asked, "Excuse me, magistrate, why did those boats sink?"
Prefect Xu said, "I heard from the fishermen that a huge whirlpool appeared on the Miluo River yesterday. It was raining heavily at the time, and the fog on the river was particularly heavy, so all the boats were swept into it."
"I see." Liang Qingchen nodded, "Since you have something to do, go and do it first."
"yes."
After Prefect Xu left, Jiang Muyu casually asked the calm shopkeeper, "Do whirlpools often appear in the Miluo River?"
"Yes." The shopkeeper was used to it and said, "For some reason, in that area, when there is extreme weather such as strong winds and heavy rain, huge whirlpools will form on the river surface. Passing ships will most likely be unlucky if they encounter them."
Liang Qingchen smiled and said, "Zhao Zhao is still foresighted. If we had gone through there according to the original route yesterday, I'm afraid we would be the ones to be hunted today."
"Yes." Yun Yan deliberately raised her voice and echoed: "Fortunately, we listened to the Queen, otherwise, let alone the loss of a few people, I'm afraid we would all be feeding the fish at the bottom of the river now."
Jiang Muyu knew they were telling this to others, and couldn't help laughing. "Okay, why exaggerate? Let's just regard this as God helping us."
Yunyan said: "What does it have to do with God? It is clearly your credit. Your Majesty is our lucky star."
Liang Qingchen picked up some food for her and continued with a smile: "Eat more, don't let my little lucky star go hungry."
She smiled and said, "I will definitely fulfill my mission."
She really did what she said. She ate most of the food on the table and even ordered two cakes to take with her before leaving.
As soon as she walked out of the inn, a man blocked her way. She frowned subconsciously and looked at him warily: "Luo Chengguan, why are you here again?"
"Are you leaving today?" he asked.
"Yeah, I was just passing through here."
Luo Chengguan said gloomily, "Can't you stay a few more days? There are still many fun places in Suicheng."
Jiang Muyu shook her head and refused, "No, we have our own tasks to attend to, so we can't stay for long."
Liang Qingchen noticed something strange here and came over to stand beside her. He was about the same height as Luo Chengguan, but he had a much more powerful aura than the other.
"Zhao Zhao, who is this person?"
Jiang Muyu said truthfully: "It was the young master I met yesterday."
Liang Qingchen looked at Luo Chengguan and said expressionlessly, "Why are you looking for my wife?"
Luo Cheng was stunned when he looked at the man in front of him. Not only was he handsome, he also had a natural nobility. It was obvious at first glance that he was not an ordinary young man.
He made up his mind and immediately put on a friendly smile, saying, "Don't misunderstand me, brother. I just came here to see my friend Jiang off."
As he spoke, he took out a purse and handed it to Jiang Muyu, "I don't have anything to give you, just a little change for you to use on your journey."
Jiang Muyu happily accepted the money, adhering to the principle of not refusing money that comes to your doorstep. "Thank you very much, Mr. Luo."
Liang Qingchen didn't say anything, just glanced at him calmly, and said to Jiang Muyu: "It's time for us to get going."
She bowed towards Luo Chengguan and said, "Mr. Luo, we'll meet again if we're lucky."
Then she was taken away by Liang Qingchen's hand.
Luo Chengguan stood there and watched the two men's backs until they got on the carriage and left.
In just one morning, the news of "Princess Rui's divine premonition" spread throughout the team, and her reputation was instantly overturned.
You must know that the supplies they are transporting this time were all allocated by the emperor to support Jiangnan. If the ship sinks midway, even if they are lucky enough to survive, they will not be able to escape the emperor's pursuit in the end.
When Wu Lianxu heard this, he was so angry that he almost bleed. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Why is she so lucky?"
