The guards around the carriage had already drawn their swords, but when they saw the person coming, they paused and put their swords back.
"Aunt, nephew." Long Musi rode forward. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the curtain of the carriage open and the eldest princess looked dissatisfied.
"Come on up, and be gentle." The eldest princess said and lowered the curtain.
But in just a moment when the curtains were opened, Long Musi still saw Xu Tianze lying on the eldest princess's legs. Looking at the soft sleeping face, his expression also became a little gentle.
After Long Musi got on the carriage quietly, he sat at the outermost part of the carriage, for fear of waking up Xu Tianze who was still redeeming himself.
"Why are you here if you are not in the Imperial Examination Hall now?" The eldest princess saw that Long Musi was covered in moisture and looked at him with some disgust.
Then he picked up the cloak beside him and gently covered Xu Tianze with it. He was in poor health to begin with, and it would not be worth it if he got hurt because of such a small thing.
"Just passing by." Long Musi whispered two words, and then stopped talking, just staring at Xu Tianze with soft eyes.
It seemed like he hadn't seen Aze sleeping for a long time. Ever since that incident with Nan Xueyan, Aze was always on edge and a little wary of him.
Naturally, I wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully in front of him.
The eldest princess curled her lips when she saw Long Musi's infatuated look. For this person, what he can't get is the best, and what he loses is the most precious.
When I was with Ze'er, I didn't take good care of her and ended up abandoning her. Now I regret it.
Unfortunately, it is useless to regret it, but he is her nephew after all, so the princess cannot point anything out to him.
"Aunt, if my royal brother dies, will Aze fall in love with me again?" Long Muse was still staring at Xu Tianze, but the words he uttered made the eldest princess feel a chill.
The eldest princess observed Long Musi carefully. In his eyes, she only saw seriousness and paranoia, and knew that what Long Musi said was not a joke at all.
The eldest princess wanted to give Long Musi a slap, but considering that there was someone on her lap, she could only put on a sour face. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Xu Tianze, who should have been asleep, speak.
"No, on the contrary, if I knew it was you who did it, I would kill you directly." Xu Tianze opened his eyes and looked at Long Musi indifferently.
At this moment, a hint of murderous intent flashed through Xu Tianze's heart. He didn't expect that Long Musi's heart had become so dark.
"Long Musi, you must know that there are some jokes that I can't make. Once you tell me something, I will take it seriously." Xu Tianze stood up with a serious face.
Xu Tianze has always been like this. You can touch him, but if you touch someone he cares about, he will pay it back a thousandfold and make that person's life worse than death.
"Aze, between my royal brother and me, is my royal brother the only one who has a place in your heart?" Long Musi had a faint smile on his face, and seemed not to be threatened by Xu Tianze's words.
He had already heard it behind the Buddha statue that Aze had him in his heart. If that was the case, who was more important, him or his royal brother?
If he hadn't seen Aze, he could still restrain himself, but when the person was right in front of him, he could hardly control himself, and the impulse in his heart burst out like crazy.
"Long Muse, you have crossed the line. He is different from you." When Xu Tianze saw the madness in Long Muse's eyes, he knew that Long Muse must have lost his mind because of something, so he had to warn him secretly.
After all, if Long Musi was still rational, he would definitely not say anything about who is important, because a rational Long Musi would only choose power over love.
He was still wondering what had made Long Muse go crazy, when suddenly a cold wind blew in carrying the scent of Long Muse, and Xu Tianze finally understood what it was.
Xu Tianze was the first to raise his head and wanted to take a look at the eldest princess, but when he thought of the meaning of his action, he stopped abruptly.
"So, in Aze's eyes, my royal brother is far better than me after all." Long Musi's lost voice came faintly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the carriage fell into silence. Xu Tianze nodded, agreeing with Long Musi's words.
It is obvious who is more important. The answer to this question is so obvious, so why bother asking and adding to your troubles?
For Xu Tianze, who is more important, Long Musi or the Xian King? Actually, both are important.
After the incident at the Xu family, Long Musi remembered the care he had given him and was grateful for it. Although they didn't end up together, the kindness they showed in the past remained.
The virtuous king and he can be said to have achieved a happy ending. In this troubled world, Xu Tianze naturally has to take good care of someone who has chosen him firmly.
"Who is on duty at the Imperial Examination Hall now?" the eldest princess spoke to break the silence.
There is still some distance to go before returning to Shangjing City. If it continues to be so dull, it would be better to just kick my nephew out.
However, it was still raining heavily outside, and the eldest princess still felt a little reluctant, so she had to change the subject to break the silent atmosphere.
"Song Yu and the Minister of Rites are on duty. The plan is carried out according to the previous one. Many people have been arrested." When it came to business, Long Musi's expression recovered a little.
Thinking that Aze's plan went so smoothly and was exactly as expected, I couldn't help but feel shocked.
It seems that he had underestimated Aze's calculations in the past. Now it seems that Aze used him to overturn the previous verdict on the Xu family just for convenience.
Even without his efforts, Aze's plan could still overturn the Xu family's case, it would just be a little more troublesome.
He used to be proud that Aze depended on him, but now it seems that he was too complacent.
"Now that he's been caught, it's time to close the net. Your Majesty must be waiting impatiently. Is the list ready?" Xu Tianze nodded, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.
The first step has been completed, and it is time to give benefits to Long Musi and others so that we can proceed to the next step.
"My royal brother, Song Yu and I each hold the list of names at this stage. It's time to compile it. When can we discuss it together?" Long Musi couldn't help but show some joy on his face.
As long as this list is submitted, it will be equivalent to part of his political achievements, and he will be a strong candidate to compete for that position.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow you can call them to go to the Princess's Mansion together." Xu Tianze gave Long Musi some time, and suddenly thought of something and added, "Remember to call the Crown Prince, it's time for him to bleed."
Xu Tianze had already had an argument with the virtuous king, and he was already feeling depressed enough. The queen even made trouble for him, although he didn't suffer any loss in the end.
However, he still felt unhappy. He believed that the son should pay off his mother's debt, and he could use this opportunity to trick the prince.
