Chapter 83: Tomorrow (2)
Last night, Yu Bufeng told him everything he knew, including more specific information about the current division of power in the upper class area, as well as speculations based on various conditions.
Missing, being hunted down, the same age as the prince who had been chosen long ago, and possessing the talent of a direct bloodline.
Mu Jie originally thought that he was just an insignificant side branch, or an unwelcome illegitimate child, but Yu Bufeng lowered his eyes and told him that he was the eldest son that the current emperor had missed for a long time.
The emperor never gave up on him, and is still looking for any trace of him to this day.
Is it because of the blood relationship that is thicker than water, or is it because of unwillingness? After all, the new heir to the throne is Guiyi.
"Do you know why you were exiled to the 15th District?"
That position can only accommodate one person in the end. Unless it has been completely decided or there is only one choice left, otherwise it will only be an endless struggle and no one wants to give in.
Mu Jie guessed something, but he didn't say anything. He just listened quietly as Yu Bufeng continued, "It was Wang Chu who did it. If nothing unexpected happened, you should have been the heir."
"He wanted to do everything he could to make you lose your qualifications and be expelled, and then find someone to wipe out your existence."
"Besides him, the last of the other two competitors around His Majesty is still mentally unclear. One chose to follow him, and the matter was a foregone conclusion. His Majesty then remembered his heir who was wandering outside." "
Unfortunately, it's too late now."
He didn't need to continue the rest of the story. That was the twists and turns that Mu Jie experienced personally. He heard that the person in authority wanted to remind him to be careful of Wang Chu.
He wanted to know the deeper meaning of his sudden mention of these things.
"Where are you sending me?"
Seeing that he did not deny it, Mu Jie could not help but ask again: "Do you want me to fight for the right of inheritance?"
"This position also belongs to you." Yu Bufeng lowered his eyes slightly and threw the question back to him, "Are you willing to go back?"
Mu Jie nodded, and Yu Bufeng sent him to the church. The young bishop welcomed his arrival, and the assistant officers of the regulation area were also waiting. When they arrived, they were taken to the palace together.
Mu Jie looked up at the man in the center. He was the only one in the formal uniform who was full of luxury, exuding an unsurpassed majesty. He was surrounded in the center, and his identity was obvious.
When the well-kept man saw the young man, his cold and serious temperament suddenly became gentle. The feeling brought by the similar eyebrows and eyes was too familiar. In comparison, the young man seemed warmer and more gentle.
He was more like a caressing spring breeze, with a freshness that was completely different from rationality, indifference, and calculation.
He looked back at his gaze. That was the family he had always missed and looked for, his father, the current monarch of the Federation.
Mu Jie hesitated. He did not continue to approach. The monarch standing not far away noticed this. He stretched out his hand, his eyes full of cherishment and pity, "Good boy, come here."
He stepped forward, but was suddenly completely wrapped in a warm hug. The young man was still in a trance. When he reacted belatedly, the person in front of him had already let go of his hand.
He lowered his head, and saw a finely crafted badge pinned on his clothes. The stars were surrounding him, and the sun and the sword would create a new splendor.
He felt his father's gaze, as if he was trying to figure out his growth, or as if he was observing him. The hand on his shoulder fell down, and when the deep voice sounded in the young man's ears, it passed over him and called out to another person: "You are here, Shouye."
Makisuke followed his father's line of sight and saw that person. When he was in the inspection house, among all the malicious and scrutinizing eyes, only Shouye was out of place.
He heard his father continue to say: "My child is not familiar with everything here, so you should take care of him for a while."
This meant that he was going to hand him over to Shouye to let him protect him.
Shouye didn't expect that he would take the initiative to propose it. Although it was unexpected, she certainly would not refuse. She stood in front of Mujie, raised her hand while closing her eyes, "Your Highness came back in a hurry, and he may not have suitable clothes yet. Why don't I take Your Highness to pick some."
Various strange eyes were cast on her, but Shouye didn't care about their suspicion. She was used to it, and took people away directly.
Buying clothes was fake, and the real thing was to arrange for the media in advance to take the opportunity to release the identity.
Shouye took people to visit the regulated area. She had already instructed in advance that someone would prepare the hot search without her having to arrange it.
It's a pity that Wang Chu was not present this morning, Shouye thought carelessly. She especially wanted to see with her own eyes how bad Wang Chu's face would be when he learned the news.
What a pity, she missed such a wonderful scene.
"Are we going to hang out here all afternoon?"
Shouye raised his eyes lazily when he heard Makisuke's question, and looked at the young man in a neat suit. He seemed to still be a little uncomfortable, and his earlobes turned red under the gaze of others, while the executive officer just calmly took the sapphire cufflinks handed by the attendant and helped him put them on.
"No." Shouye still had the same cold attitude as before, and because of other reasons, he was more patient. "Let's go back to the executive building later, you come with me."
"My assistant will take you to learn more about the situation in the imperial capital. I still need to work."
The young man agreed. Shouye glanced at him and reminded him slowly: "You haven't seen the current heir to the throne. The king will not tolerate any surprises in his eyes."
"So you'd better be careful, be alert, and don't trust anyone." Shouye sneered, looking a little mean for no reason. "If anything goes wrong, I won't be able to explain to His Majesty."
Mujie lowered his head and fiddled with the cufflinks. He didn't know what its quality was, but he could see the expensiveness beneath the dazzling appearance. The gems inlaid in it were crystal clear and dazzling. He suddenly asked, "What about you? Won't you protect me?"
Shouye had already given instructions, clearly specifying that this set and the previous ones had been customized. She asked someone to measure the young man's size first. Hearing this, she just casually replied, "I was asked by someone. What, do you really think this is a place to play house?"
"You'd better put away those redundant sympathies."
After giving the order, Shouye turned back to look at him. She reached out to straighten the young man's slightly messy collar. Her movements were natural and calm, but it seemed as if she was going to strangle his throat and swallow his flesh and blood in the next second.
"His Majesty has helped you clarify that you were forced to join the source tracking before." Shouye slowly tied the crooked tie for him, and raised a slight smile on her lips, "Don't let people down. They are looking forward to your ambition, and there are more people who want to find a handle on you."
"The current crown prince is cruel and ruthless. Since you care about those people, don't you worry about the future of the Federation? If he really takes over, it's hard to say what the Federation will become."
"Don't you have any ideas?"
"Don't you want to replace him?"
Watchman put his hand on his shoulder. She didn't apply any force, but the heavy sense of oppression overwhelmed him as much as possible, as if to seduce his mind, just to achieve what she expected. "You can obviously do better, why do you give up your throne to him?"
"You were wandering outside, and I heard that you were hunted by someone. In the end, he became the heir. Even if he was not the mastermind, it cannot be denied that he had his hand in it."
"Are you so willing to give it up?" Shouye lowered his eyes slightly, and looked into the young man's eyes that had not yet been stained by dirt. "If these accidents had not happened, you should have been standing in a high position, enjoying prosperity and wealth."
The pair of ruby pupils with distorted cognition were like a swamp soaked in blood, controlling and influencing people's will. Mujie's thoughts went blank for a moment. After he came to his senses, he suddenly took a few steps back, but Shouye would not allow him to escape. She grabbed his arm.
Shouye showed a cold smile with a gentle appearance, "I can provide more than just protection, as long as you need help."
"There are also quite a few nobles who are dissatisfied with the results of the succession, but they dare not speak out because of the power of Wang Chu and Guiyi."
She was the same.
"We have plenty of time, you can take your time to think about it." Shouye slowly withdrew his hand, she took the initiative to distance herself again, turned and walked towards the door, "Let's talk about this later, it's lunch time now, I don't want to be accused of treating you harshly."
Mujie subconsciously followed her, but the people waiting outside stopped him. The young man with similar eyes to Shouye said coldly: "Don't approach the adults casually."
"Yi Zi." Shouye was rarely helpless, "Your Majesty asked me to take good care of him during this time." Yi
Zi reluctantly moved away, but even so he couldn't have any good feelings towards him, after all, his arrival would bring endless troubles.
"Shouye!"
Almost no one reacted when a soft and surprised voice sounded, and a light and beautiful floral fragrance drifted past, and then a light figure fell into his arms. Makisuke saw that the young man who was still vigilantly observing him just now suddenly looked away.
"If you are photographed, the adults will be on the headlines again." Yi Zi smiled, but the words he said were almost squeezed out with gritted teeth, "Can you let go first?"
Temeira tilted her head to look at him for a while, then turned around and asked Shouye: "Do you mind?"
Shouye said it didn't matter. Anyway, the rumors of her and Temeira's love were already flying all over the place. At most, it would make Nepeze angry, but there was nothing else. Temeira just liked to be close to him.
Temera then turned her head back and replied cheerfully: "Since Shouye himself thinks it's okay, what's the point of clarifying it?"
Yi Zi: "..."
Yi Zi's smile shattered.
"That won't work either! The executive building will have to arrange for public relations to handle it, which will be very troublesome!"
"Oh...it's obviously you who cares too much, why don't you just ignore it?"
In the noisy and familiar conversation, Shouye calmly opened the terminal. She lowered her eyes to look at the electronic screen, and Mujie noticed that there was a subtle and genuine smile at the corner of her lips.
Because they are companions, friends, and people you care about.
Mujie thought inappropriately that Shouye didn't seem to be as indifferent as he seemed.
