"Forgive me for speaking frankly," she raised her head and met Chu Ci's gaze, her expression somewhat cold. "Even if Your Highness doesn't have the heart to fight, please consider us. If Your Highness fails, the consequences will not be as simple as you think."
"Yes, Your Highness, we must be on guard against others."
The people around responded to Liu Xun's words.
They were already in a disadvantageous situation, and with the addition of a troublesome prince, they really had nothing left except the nominal legitimacy at the moment.
And if they lose in this war of emperor succession, everyone knows what awaits them.
Chu Ci looked at the old ministers sighing in the room and nodded, "Minister Liu is right. It was my fault for being careless. I didn't expect Chu Mu to be so arrogant."
Liu Xun looked up at Chu Ci with a hint of surprise when he heard this.
After all, if it were in the past, Her Highness would definitely say that they were all sisters and it wouldn't be like this. She said it was unintentional, so it must have been an unintentional mistake. She was punished anyway, so don't mention such words again.
Chu Ci's eyes lit up slightly, and there was still a smile on the corner of her lips, looking gentle. The sunlight outside fell on the head of the bed.
Chu Ci's pale fingertips stretched out from under the quilt, and touched something as if she wanted to feel the warmth of the sun.
She didn't raise her eyes, just staring at the thin ray of light. The mist in her eyes dissipated slightly, revealing a clear and bright look. "She, Chu Mudu, has the audacity to bring out such a thing. She simply wants to show off her favor with the Queen Mother and build momentum for herself in the court. However, she has gone too far. I haven't responded in this period. Besides the matter of the Xiao family, the Queen Mother should have reprimanded her privately."
Liu Xun was stunned for a moment, then recalled the situation at that time. It had only been a few days since the incident happened, and the empress hurriedly summoned Chu Mu into the palace. No one knew what they said, but Chu Mu did behave more honestly after that.
"Feng You, tighten the security in the mansion from now on and don't let any irrelevant people in."
Chu Ci withdrew her hand, lowered her eyes, and spoke, tapping the edge of the bed lightly with her fingertips.
There was a thought in his eyes, and for a moment, there was such an inexplicable and terrifying aura.
However, that breath disappeared in a flash, and when I looked closely, he had turned pale and weak again.
Feng You replied with a yes, but his heart tightened. "What does Your Highness mean?"
"She's been warned before she comes here. Given her personality, she won't listen to any talk of sympathy. It never hurts to be on guard early."
"Well, now that His Highness has woken up, there's no need for you all to wait here. I heard that Chu Mu's concubine's family has been doing well recently. Without me saying anything, the Minister should know what needs to be done, right?"
Liu Xun was stunned for a moment, then realized instantly, "Your Highness is suspicious..."
This is possible. Concubine Chu Mu's family is in business and has made a fortune recently. Since her family is already quite wealthy, it has not attracted much attention.
After hearing what Chu Ci said, and thinking about the time when they made their fortune, it seemed wrong no matter how I thought about it.
She paused, looked at Chu Ci's pale face, smiled, raised her hand and placed it on the corner of her lips, "Your Highness didn't say anything."
He still looked the same, his smile hadn't changed.
