But soon he thought of something, and immediately raised his head, his eyes were very bright, like a bright moon in the dark night sky, "Then are you going to the imperial city?" ”

Mu Shengbai nodded noncommittally, Lu Yu'an was worried and full of hope, "That's ...... Can I go with you? ”

Daddy and his sister have always dreamed of being able to settle in the imperial city with him, saying that it is the most lively there, but now that their parents are gone, then their dreams can only be completed by him alone, and it is a long way to go to the imperial city from here, and a person may not know what will happen on the road in the past, and Mu Gongzi They are good people at a glance, and it must be very safe to follow them.

He said yes to Mu Shengbai, and Mu Shengbai immediately agreed, and bringing someone would have no effect on him.

When the food to be eaten on the road was almost stocked, they were ready to get back on the road.

At the same time, the imperial city, which is thousands of miles away, is changing little by little.

First of all, Emperor Jingyuan was tired of reviewing more and more twists and turns, and countless political affairs, so he asked Du Chenliang to help deal with them, and then as if someone was behind the scenes, the rumors that the second prince would be the next prince sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and everyone knew about it.

When Du Weizhen was about to arrive in the imperial city, he heard this rumor, but at this time he was not in a hurry to enter the city, but found an inn outside the city to stay.

After settling down, Du Weizhen called Mu Shengbai over, and there were only the two of them in the room.

Mu Shengbai was surprised by his composure, "Wei Zhen, why aren't you in a hurry at all, according to the trend of this rumor, the people are afraid that they will soon believe it, and once the people are truly convinced, your position will be embarrassing." ”

Du Weizhen smiled heartily and said leisurely: "Now that the crown prince is vacant, who can sit on it and how can I manage it?" Besides, it's not certain who can actually sit on it, I've been sitting in that position for so many years, who else can be more familiar than me? ”

Mu Shengbai's eyes lit up, and with his familiarity with Du Weizhen, he immediately sensed that there was something in his words, and hurriedly asked, "What are your plans?" ”

"Hmm." He nodded slightly, and then said slowly, "The more you get to the last step, the more Du Chenliang feels that he is more likely to be the prince, the more anxious he will be, and the more horses and feet will be exposed, and it will undoubtedly be the safest to do it to him at that time." ”

"But ......," Du Weizhen paused, "I don't have such strong patience, so I'm going to help him, and I've made a brilliant idea for him before, so that he can hope to sit directly in his father's position!" ”

With his relationship with Du Chenliang, he is definitely not as good as he said, helping Du Chenliang ascend the throne, so that means that he wants to force Du Chenliang to rebel, at a deeper level, this is not persecution, Du Chenliang is afraid that he has already had this intention, but he does not have the courage and strength, so he has been patient, trying to ascend to the supreme position step by step, but Du Weizhen wants to push him.

"What's the plan?"

Du Weizhen looked at him deeply and asked, "Are you willing to help me?" ”

The reason why he didn't directly say the plan was not that he didn't trust Mu Shengbai, on the contrary, if Mu Shengbai was by his side at that time, it would be Mu Shengbai who discussed the plan with him. He didn't say it just because he knew that if Mu Shengbai didn't want to get involved, it would be best not to know anything, and the more he knew, the more harm would be done.

Mu Shengbai lowered his eyes and pondered, his sword eyebrows tangled together, which showed his complex heart.

Du Weizhen naturally wished that Mu Shengbai would implement this plan with him, but he was more willing to respect his ideas, so he just sat silently and drank tea quietly.

Before the two could discuss the reason, someone knocked on the door, and the two looked at each other and asked at the same time, "Who?" ”

"It's me."

Wu Lan's voice made both of them feel relieved, Wu Lan was no different when she came in, but suddenly raised her eyes to look at Mu Shengbai, a dark light flashed in her eyes, and it was fleeting, but she was keenly caught by Mu Shengbai.

It turned out that Wu Lan came in with a pot of tea for them, and after pouring it, she didn't say a word before turning around and leaving, but she paused for a few seconds before going out before raising her legs and going out.

As soon as the door closed, Mu Shengbai suddenly stood up, his face full of apologies, "I'm sorry, Weizhen, I'll go out first." ”

Du Weizhen didn't ask much, just waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

As soon as Mu Shengbai left Du Weizhen's room with his front foot, he pushed open the door of Wulan with his back hand, not that he came uninvited, but that Senior Brother Wulan's hint was too obvious, not to mention that he had been with him day and night for more than ten years, I am afraid that even Weizhen could see it.

In the room, Wu Lan stood in front of the window with Mu Shengbai behind his back, he always did not smile, and only showed his gentle side in front of Mu Shengbai.

"Shengbai, I didn't want to question you about any of your options, but before I was sent to protect you, Mr. Changfeng told me that you would encounter danger when you went down the mountain, and I think it may have something to do with the prince's plan."

Wu Lan made no secret that he had heard their conversation just now, he didn't mean it, but when he was about to bring the tea in, he happened to hear Du Weizhen's talking, about Mu Shengbai, he couldn't help but be cautious, so he listened to the corner of the wall, this kind of stealing chickens and dogs has always been what he hates the most.

"So Senior Brother Wulan...... Are you trying to stop me? ”

Wu Lan shook her head, turned her head to his face, and said solemnly: "No, I won't interfere with any of your choices, but this time it's about your safety, I just want you to think twice." ”

Mu Shengbai was silent for a moment before he said, "Senior Brother Wulan, I haven't replied to Wei Zhen yet, because I'm afraid that you will be worried, but if this layer is removed, I will definitely agree to Wei Zhen without hesitation." The second prince is ruthless, and his sister and brother can still design and even want their lives without a bottom line? If such a person becomes a prince and an emperor in the future, how can he love the people like a son? I don't want the people to live under the rule of such people. And Wei Zhen, I have a very close relationship with him, and his character is also clear, he used to be kind-hearted, and it can even be said that he was too kind, such a person is tantamount to not suitable for being the emperor, but now, he is much better, and kindness has thorns, so ...... I want to help him and give the people a peaceful and prosperous world. ”

Wu Lan is proud of Mu Shengbai, but for him, no pride and honor can compete with Mu Shengbai's safety, but at present, he is afraid that his words will not change anything.

Wu Lan sighed, reluctantly turned around and went out, thinking about sending a message to ask Mr. Changfeng how to deal with this matter.
