"What troubles the princess?"
The princess looked at the moon and sighed.
"Although Hazi and Bazhuo are in love with each other, there is a problem: Lanzhuo also likes Bazhuo very much!"
"But Ba Zhuo doesn't have those kinds of feelings for Lan Zhuo!"
"Although Lan Zhuo is not my biological daughter, she is still the prince's daughter."
"After all, I really like her and watched her grow up."
“I’ve always wanted to arrange a marriage for her, but Lan Zhuo has refused every time.”
Ruochen said.
"The marriage the Princess Consort mentioned, is it perhaps with Prince He Zhuo?"
The princess nodded.
"Ruochen, do you think He Zhuo is a good match for Lan Zhuo?"
"Of course, He Zhuo is the future ruler of our Great Tu Kingdom. If Lan Zhuo marries Prince He Zhuo, she will be the future queen. Such an honor is something that every woman on the grasslands would want."
"To be honest, Your Highness, I have thought about that too, but I know my status and I absolutely cannot have such wishful thinking."
The princess said with a smile.
"Ruochen, don't worry, I will arrange a suitable marriage for you!"
"However, Lan Zhuo is also very stubborn and is not someone who clings to power. She doesn't care about the position of princess and only follows her heart."
"Your Highness, let's just let things take their natural course."
"Hmm! By the way, how is Mu Zhuo doing now?"
"He is still guarding our Great Tu Kingdom, so Your Highness need not worry."
However, the princess was unaware of this.
Mu Zhuo has already begun taking action.
You wouldn't know even if you told me.
Some people have already started taking action.
The moment Mu Zhuo began to force the emperor to abdicate.
Cheng Zhuo appeared.
Mu Zhuo was stunned when she saw him.
"Cheng Zhuo? Weren't you sent out by that old man Ao Zhuo to guard the frontier? Why are you here?"
Cheng Zhuo sneered.
"The one guarding the frontier is not me, but my son!"
"you--"
At that moment, Mu Zhuo understood.
"So, all of this was arranged by that old man Ao Zhuo from the very beginning. He never intended for you to guard the frontier. Instead, he wanted you to lie low here and wait for me to start my coup before you came out to resolve the crisis!"
Cheng Zhuo sneered.
"You only now understand our king's meticulous plan? It's a pity, it's too late!"
"The king knew from the very beginning that you were rebelling!"
Mu Zhuo frowned.
"Impossible! How could he have known?"
"The king noticed something was wrong with you a long time ago! That's why he ordered me to keep an eye on you!"
"Now that your plot has been exposed, surrender immediately! Otherwise, the lives of your wife, children, and elderly parents will become victims of my blade!"
Mu Zhuo was terrified after hearing this.
You need to know.
Before the rebellion.
He had already arranged everything, sending his wife, children, and elderly parents out of the grasslands.
"Could it be that my son—"
"That's right, I intercepted them halfway!"
"Now, their lives are in my hands. Whether your wife, children, and elderly parents live or die is entirely up to you!"
"I remember, your son was hard-won!"
"You only have one son, and it's not that you haven't thought about having more sons, but you haven't been able to have any. All the children you had after that were daughters. You value your son so much, you wouldn't want anything to happen to him, would you?"
Mu Zhuo had to weigh the pros and cons.
In his heart.
The son's position is indeed paramount.
He could do without his wife and concubines, but he could not do without his son.
Perhaps the concubine will give birth to a son in the future, but as long as she doesn't give birth, then the second son is just a pipe dream.
And he did indeed have a living son.
So, in order to save her son's life.
Mu Zhuo would absolutely not allow anything to happen to him.
Mu Zhuo could throw away his sword.
He knelt down.
Cheng Zhuo said sternly.
"The king has treated you well, why did you rebel?!"
Mu Zhuo said with his head down.
"I don't want to rebel, but Hazim has given me just too much!"
"Hazi?!"
Cheng Zhuo was stunned after hearing this.
"Is Hazi the mastermind?"
Mu Zhuo nodded.
"She bribed me to stage a coup, promising to appoint me as Grand General once she ascended the throne. I agreed!"
The princess was stunned when she heard this.
"You, you mean my adopted daughter, Hazi, is the mastermind behind all of this?"
"Impossible! She has always treated me like her own mother. She would never do such a thing!"
Mu Zhuo sighed.
"That only proves that Hazi's acting skills are too good, and he easily deceived you!"
The princess still couldn't believe it.
"I...I don't believe it! You must be framing my daughter!"
"My daughter is so well-behaved and sensible, she would never do such a thing!"
At that very moment.
Cheng Zhuo's subordinates came over.
"Your Highness, this is a letter sent back by the prince's falcon."
The princess immediately took a look.
After learning the truth.
The princess was greatly shocked.
"Hazi, it turns out that my adoption of her was a conspiracy from the very beginning!"
"I treated her like my own daughter, but she wanted to kill me!"
