Mu Changtian did not explicitly say that he wanted to help Lu Chen, and there were some things in politics that could not be said explicitly.

However, since he had guaranteed that Lu Chen's trip to Beijun would be smooth sailing, it meant that he would definitely send someone to protect the Northern King, and he would also greet the army.

Although Lu Chen is a political novice, he can still understand Mu Changtian's words, Lu Chen said: "Then thank you father-in-law." ”

Mu Changtian glanced at the subordinates in the hall at this time, and then said to those subordinates: "You go out first, I have something to say to the king of the north alone." ”

"Yes."

Then the men left the hall.

After waiting for the people to go out, Lu Chen asked curiously, "I don't know if my father-in-law has anything to tell me?" ”

Mu Changtian let his subordinates leave the hall first, and then talk to himself, that must be a very important matter.

Mu Changtian said at this time: "King Bei, I want to remind you that even if you arrive at Beijun safely, it is impossible for you to be safe and secure all the time. ”

Lu Chen asked, "Why is this?" ”

Mu Changtian knew that Lu Chen was a political novice, so he simply made it clear.

"Your mother is the eldest lady of the Chu family, and the Chu family is naturally from your faction."

"Although you have left Kyoto, you are still a great threat to most princes."

"And it's very likely that the Chu family still has expectations for you, even I think so, and those princes must think so."

"If you are still here, the Chu family will probably always support you, but if you ......"

Mu Changtian didn't continue, after all, the latter words were a bit disrespectful, and he believed that Lu Chen should have understood what he meant.

Hearing Mu Changtian's reminder, Lu Chen instantly understood what he meant, after all, Chu Yuqin had only reminded him this morning.

Lu Chen sighed inwardly.

It seems that his situation is indeed dangerous.

If he doesn't die, the Chu family may always have expectations for himself, and the Chu family is a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, and for any prince, the support of the Chu family is very important.

If they die, the Chu family will lose the first choice of support, then they will take refuge in other princes.

Therefore, any prince who wants to win over the Chu family, most likely the first thing to do is to get rid of himself, the waste prince, and completely cut off the Chu family's concerns.

It really hurts my brain.

Originally, after he came to this world, he always planned to lie down and enjoy happiness, and he had no idea of competing for the throne at all.

I didn't expect that a single life experience would bring me so much trouble.

There is no way, the life experience is determined by nature and cannot be changed.

Now he has only two options.

One is to find a way to completely oppose the Chu family, so that people think that he and the Chu family have broken up.

Another option is to kill everyone who wants to get rid of him, so that he is safe.

Choosing the second option means that he has embarked on the path of the emperor.

From the perspective of personal feelings, Lu Chen will definitely not completely break with the Chu family.

First of all, his grandfather has been very good to him since he was a child, and the Chu family has always sent people to protect him, and even his first love in this world, Chu Yuqin, is also a member of the Chu family.

Let him completely break with the Chu family, he really can't do it.

And even if he and the Chu family really broke up completely, those princes would not necessarily let him go, after all, no one knew if he and the Chu family were singing a duet and performing for people to see.

So getting rid of yourself is the best way to go.

In this way, those princes may still do it to themselves.

Then only one last option remains.

Embark on the path of the Emperor of God!

Lu Chen thought about it, if it was before, it would indeed be difficult for him to compete with those princes for that position.

But now it's different.

He had a multi-son and multi-blessing system.

As long as he goes to Beijun, he will have more concubines and more children, and he will be able to improve his strength as soon as possible.

That position doesn't have to be your own.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen said to Mu Changtian: "Thank you father-in-law for reminding me, I understand what you mean." ”

……

After leaving the Mu Mansion, Mu Zixuan cautiously asked in the carriage, "Lord, what did Daddy say to you?" ”

Lu Chen smiled slightly, and then hugged Mu Zixuan in his arms.

"Didn't say anything, he told me to treat you well."

At this time, Mu Zixuan was a little entangled, she didn't know whether she should tell Lu Chen about the two sisters of the Zhou family, after all, the identities of the two of them were too sensitive.

At this time, Lu Chen's hand gently stroked Mu Zixuan's hair, and continued: "Concubine Ai, after you arrive in Beijun, you have to give birth to more children for this king." ”

Hearing such direct words, Mu Zixuan's face instantly turned red, although she was already a woman, but after all, she had only come into contact with this kind of thing.

Seeing Mu Zixuan's shy expression, Lu Chen wanted to bully her immediately, but he finally held back.

Meanwhile.

Palace.

Imperial.

A middle-aged man in a yellow python robe stood in the pavilion of the lotus pond, watching the fish swim around the lotus pond with his hands behind his back.

A man in black armor suddenly appeared behind him.

"Your Majesty, the King of the North just went to the Mu Mansion, during which the Duke of Mu asked his subordinates to leave the hall, closed the door and told the King of the North something alone."

Hearing this, Emperor Xia said to himself: "It seems that Mu Changtian still values Xiao Jiu. ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Xia turned his head to look at the red-robed eunuch on the side.

"Gonggong Liu, do you think that after Xiao Jiu leaves the capital this time, will those people in the Chu family give up on him?"

Hearing this question, the red-robed eunuch immediately said, "Your Majesty, the slave maid does not dare to speak falsely. ”

Emperor Xia said a little unhappily: "If you want to say it, you can say it." ”

The red-robed eunuch hurriedly said: "In the eyes of the slave maid, there is a high probability that the Chu family will give up the North King and choose to support other princes. ”

Emperor Xia asked with interest, "Oh? Then tell me, who is the Chu family most likely to choose? ”

Gonggong Liu trembled with fright.

He has been following Emperor Xia's side and knows some things that others don't know, Emperor Xia hates the Chu family to the core, and he wants to solve the Chu family in his dreams.

If he said who the Chu family was going to support next, wouldn't he be harming other princes.

Emperor Xia continued: "You boldly say that I will forgive you for your innocence. ”

Gonggong Liu immediately knelt on the ground, and then said, "Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks that the Chu family will most likely support the Eighth Prince. ”

The eighth prince's mother concubine is also from Jiangnan, so if the Chu family wants to choose the object to follow again, their eyes will inevitably be on the eighth prince.

Hearing Gonggong Liu's words, Emperor Xia just smiled faintly and muttered: "Support Xiao Ba, I'm afraid Xiao Jiu's journey will not be too peaceful." ”

At this time, the soldier in black armor behind Emperor Xia asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to protect His Royal Highness the Northern King?" ”

Xia Huang said indifferently: "No need, someone will protect him, if something really happens to him, then he can only be blamed for not being hard enough." ”

……

At night.

In the room, Lu Chen wanted to communicate with his concubine, but when he thought that he had only tossed her yesterday and this morning, he gave up.

Seeing that her husband seemed to be very uncomfortable, Mu Zixuan finally mustered up the courage to say, "Lord Wang, why don't you accept Youyou and Xiaoxiao?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes lit up, he didn't expect his concubine to be so generous.

But he still said: "Aifei, how can you bear to push me to other women? ”

Mu Zixuan blushed and said, "Lord Wang, you have been staring at the two of them in the morning. ”

What Lu Chen was thinking, how could she not guess.

Mu Zixuan continued: "And the two of them were originally concubines' dowry maids, and they should serve the prince. ”

Lu Chen hugged Mu Zixuan and said, "If you have a wife like this, what more can your husband ask for." ”

At this time, Mu Zixuan said to Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao: "Youyou, Xiaoxiao, come here." ”

Then the candlelight flickered in the room.
