Gu Hanyu pondered her intention in his mind, and after thinking for a few breaths, he spoke.
"If I say that I don't have any ideas, I'm afraid Mu Xiangjun won't believe it." Gu Hanyu said softly.
This statement is absolutely flawless.
You can interpret this as him being interested in the throne, or you can interpret it as him being uninterested in it. It all depends on how the person on the other side views it.
In this way, if Bei Yutang has other purposes and does not intend to be on good terms with him, he will not have to worry about causing trouble by speaking out of his mouth.
After hearing this, Bei Yutang chuckled and was not angry. Instead, she felt that she had not misjudged the person.
In his previous life, Gu Fanzhi had Gu Pianran, a woman of destiny, by his side, so things naturally went smoothly, and he easily ascended to that position. However, she knew that this low-key person could have ascended to the top in one step, but Gu Pianran's trick made him disliked by Emperor Wenxuan, completely ending his path to the throne.
Bei Yutang was not satisfied with his answer and asked bluntly, "Your Highness, just tell me, do you want to or not?"
Gu Hanyu stared at her with a deep gaze, his eyes scrutinizing her. "A man's ambition is to travel far and wide."
"That's great. I won't think I've misjudged the person." Bei Yutang said with a smile.
"The reason I invited His Highness the Third Prince here today is to help you reach the summit."
Although Gu Hanyu had a vague suspicion that this was the case, he was still shocked when he heard her say it herself. But amidst this shock, there was also a hint of joy.
If he could get help from Mr. Muxiang, it would naturally be a great help.
Gu Hanyu asked, "Is the emperor not well?"
If it weren't so, she certainly wouldn't do it.
Now the emperor is very fond of her, so it is naturally impossible for him to abandon her and choose him.
She must be looking for another way out because her father is about to die.
Bei Yutang nodded, "The result is even more serious than you imagined. The emperor has been poisoned for a long time and his life is coming to an end. However, he got the news from somewhere and wants to use one hundred boys and girls to refine an elixir to prolong his life."
"What!" Gu Hanyu was horrified.
It turns out that the children who disappeared recently near Chang'an City were because of their father.
"He ordered me to make an elixir. If it fails the first time, there will be a second, a third, and even more. Many more innocent children will surely die here."
Bei Yutang continued, "If the emperor takes the elixir again, he will be poisoned, and this will only aggravate the poison."
"How many days will it take?" Gu Hanyu asked.
"Two to three months at most, one month at least."
"So short." Gu Hanyu was shocked.
Except for the day when he coughed up blood in the hall, his face was rosy the rest of the time, and there was no sign that he would not live long.
"Time is running out. If Your Highness wishes to ascend the throne, you must seize the moment to plan for yourself. Only three people knew about the Emperor's poisoning. Now that Your Highness has been added, how can you seize the initiative? I believe Your Highness knows how to act without my instruction."
"I understand." Gu Hanyu nodded. "Lord Mu Xiang has offered his help. I wonder what Lord Xiang wants me to do for you?"
He is a smart man.
Mu Xiangjun could choose anyone to work with, but she chose him, so she must have something to ask for. I wonder if there is something in him that she needs.
We are all smart and understand that there is no free lunch in the world.
Bei Yutang chuckled and handed something to him.
