The person behind General Zhenwei’s Mansion is Prince Hong, the elder brother of the current emperor.
Cui Changan's face was solemn: Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, he is less than twenty years old, and his foundation is not stable.
These people formed cliques in private for their own selfish ends, and it was certainly not for the purpose of establishing a crown prince.
Their goal was at least to control the government, or even to aim for the throne.
He stood up uneasily and walked around twice, clenching and unclenching his fists.
Finally, he sat down somewhat dejectedly: "These are just your inferences. We don't have any evidence, so we can't say anything in front of His Majesty."
If the emperor thought that they were instigating discord, he, the only descendant of the Cui family, would die before Prince Hong died.
Cui Changan sighed and could only swallow this thought.
"How do you know that?"
Xiao Wu smiled sweetly: "I dreamed about it."
Cui Changan: ...
Thaksin.
He had read a lot of history books, but had never heard of anyone like Xiao Wu, let alone seen one.
It can be seen that he has some ability.
Cui Changan hesitated for a moment: "Did you come to me because you dreamed about me?"
Xiao Wu looked at him in surprise and laughed: "You react very quickly..."
"So you want me to put aside my hatred and enter the court to save the world?"
Xiao Wu nodded.
"What will happen if I don't listen to you?"
Xiao Wu smiled again: "You will still save the world, but you will experience more suffering, pay a greater price, and spend many years to let go of hatred."
"You spent those years in pain and loneliness before you let go of your hatred."
"Because you have to pretend to be obedient and respectful during the day, but your heart is full of hatred and you dare not show it at all."
"You should be polite and courteous to your enemies."
"You dare not tell anyone what's in your heart. You even dare not marry or have children because you are afraid of being heard talking in your sleep. Your life is very tormenting."
Cui Changan was surprised: "Since the result is what you want, why did you come to help me?"
Xiao Wu looked at Cui Changan with bright eyes: "I don't want you to suffer too much!"
“A person who carries firewood for others should not be allowed to freeze to death in the snow and wind.”
"You have done a lot for the world, saved many people, and allowed many people to live a life of plenty..."
"The people were very grateful to you, but you used up all your energy and died before you were fifty."
Even with the same achievements and experiences, different mindsets can lead to different lives.
Since Cui Changan was willing to swallow the hatred of the world and only suffer for himself, she would naturally help him if she could.
But she didn't expect that because of her intervention, Cui Changan's fate had changed, and she and Cui Changan actually had a marriage...
Of course, there were some things she couldn't say to Cui Changan, so she just reached out her hand and took the initiative to hold Cui Changan.
"I saw you so lonely in my dream, and I couldn't bear it."
So Xiao Wu came to Cui Changan and tried to save him some unnecessary suffering.
"Thank you." Cui Changan held Xiao Wu's hands in return, his eyes full of gratitude.
Cui Changan did not tell His Majesty, but His Majesty still knew about it.
He specifically asked about Cui Changan's specific situation.
Cui Changan explained the matter very objectively and added a few words at the end.
"...Princess Shu was very grateful to Miss Fu and sent a lot of things over. She also invited Xiao Wu to visit their home."
He didn't mention anything about his guess or Xiao Wu's dream.
His Majesty is not someone who can be fooled easily: "Chang'an, tell me, what is General Zhenwei's Mansion trying to do by doing this?"
This was a difficult question to answer. Cui Changan fell silent and spoke after a while.
"I think that Prince Shu and his wife are not involved in government affairs. They are already super-rank princes. It is inappropriate for these people to plot against Prince Shu and his wife."
"As for what they want to do...I can't guess."
His Majesty sneered: "Can't guess? You don't dare to guess?"
Cui Changan bowed in a bachelor's manner and resolutely kept his mouth shut.
The young emperor became angry. He stood up and walked quickly around the imperial study twice, looking at Cui Changan with red eyes.
"Chang'an, what's so good about this throne?"
"Since I took office, I have been working day and night. While others are taking a rest, I still have work to do..."
"For the sake of the throne, these people can disregard human ethics and family affection, kill people without restraint, and even kill their brothers..."
He had a tiring job as an emperor. On the one hand, he had to deal with government affairs, and on the other hand, he was always being plotted against and had to be on guard at all times.
Even after finishing his government affairs, he would go to the harem to relax and have fun.
The concubines were all daughters of court officials and nobles, and their mothers’ clans stood behind them. They would fight with each other and act like spoiled braggarts for the sake of their family’s interests…
Every time this happened, he missed the time when he studied with Cui Changan especially, and felt more guilty towards Cui Changan.
"It's not that I don't want to give up this throne, but look at my brothers, what are they like?"
Cui Changan knew that the emperor was under too much pressure and had collapsed, so he could only lower his head and listen to the emperor's complaints.
"Not counting the concubines and other high-ranking officials in Prince Hong's palace, there are hundreds of people who have sex with him, and they often have sex in broad daylight..."
"In order to satisfy his desires, he naturally needed a lot of money, so he exploited the people in his fiefdom. The taxes in his fiefdom were extremely heavy, and the people were living in misery..."
The people were forced to death or driven away, and he could no longer make so much money, so he set his sights on the throne.
Yes, if he conquered the world, all the money and women in the world would be his, and he could naturally squander them at will.
But he doesn't care about the people!
Your Majesty knows these things, and Cui Changan also knows them.
Therefore, Your Majesty and Cui Changan became more determined not to let Prince Hong succeed.
"Changan, help me."
The emperor suddenly grabbed Cui Changan's hand and looked at him with burning eyes.
"I know you have some concerns, but given our status and position, there are things we cannot control."
"You and I have studied together for many years. I know your character and your aspirations."
"I give you trust and a chance..."
Cui Changan subconsciously wanted to pull his hand away, but the burning look in the emperor's eyes stung him.
He was just a man who wanted to be a good emperor, and he was also a lonely man...
The Cui family was killed because of the unfounded "treason", and as a young prince, it was normal for him not to dare to fight for himself...
Cui Changan softened his heart.
Cui Changan finally agreed, but when he returned home, he felt depressed.
Xiao Wu saw this and asked someone to make his favorite Bobo Chicken.
After eating the spicy and delicious Bobo Chicken, Cui Changan broke into a sweat from the spiciness, but he finally came back to his senses.
He told Xiao Wu about the emperor's thoughts and his own troubles.
"My foundation is still shallow. I am good at making plans, but if I were to go into battle myself, how could I shake King Hong?"
Xiao Wu smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I'll help you."
Cui Changan was stunned: "Do you have a solution?"
"Of course."
Princess Shu's thank-you banquet was grand and solemn. She invited some women from aristocratic families who used to be on good terms with the Cui family and also had a good relationship with herself to come and accompany her, giving Xiao Wu a lot of face.
When Xiao Wu appeared in front of everyone in an exquisite moonlight brocade dress and a pearl butterfly headpiece, everyone was stunned.
This Miss Fu is so beautiful!
Looking at her walking gait, it was as smooth as flowing water, her posture was upright, dignified and steady, and very methodical, completely unlike the stiffness and helplessness of an ordinary country girl.
Princess Shu came out with a frail little girl. The girl was panting with every step, her eyes were red, and it was obvious that she was not feeling well.
Everyone bowed, Xiao Wu also wanted to bow, but Princess Shu held her back and said, "You are my savior, why are you bowing?"
"This is Wubing. She is your sister."
When everyone heard the name, they all lowered their eyes to hide their surprise.
What kind of disease would cause the dignified Princess Shu to give her daughter such a name in the hope of longevity?
Xiao Wu took a look at the girl and said in surprise: "Oh, my sister's weak lungs and cough can't be delayed any longer..." (End of this chapter)
