Chapter 359 Why Should I Marry You

The night is dark and the moon is bright.

Mu Chu opened the door and walked out from the side hall, and saw Lan Shaoqing standing at the door, with serious eyes hidden in his eyes, as if he had something to say.

"Chu'er, why did Xiao Luochen assassinate the Empress Dowager?"

The corner of Mu Chu's mouth twitched, he shook his head and said: "I don't know either, the Empress Dowager is practicing in the temple and never cares about these mundane things. Who knows what he is thinking, and actually went to assassinate the Empress Dowager."

Lan Shaoqing's voice was leisurely: "I thought you would know, Chu'er!"

Mu Chu smiled wryly, she wasn't a roundworm in Xiao Luochen's stomach, so how could she guess what he was thinking.

"Chu Qi is fine, I will watch over the rest of the night, Big Brother Lan, go and rest!"

Lan Shaoqing slowly shook her head: "You haven't slept for several days to refine medicine, you are the one who should rest the most!"

Mu Chu pursed his lips and smiled, but sat on the guardrail at the door. Not far in front of him was the sparkling lake, and the moonlight was reflected in the water, which was so beautiful.

"Then let's take advantage of this time and talk about it!"

Mu Chu raised his head, glanced at the night and the quiet surroundings, saw that there were no shadows around, and lowered his voice in the darkness.

"Brother Lan, please ask you something, help me find out, who are the names of the people on this paper!"

Mu Chu stuffed a note into Lan Shaoqing's hands. If she said that the person she trusted the most in the entire imperial city, besides herself, was Lan Shaoqing.

Xiao Luochen is nowhere to be seen now, even if she wanted to see her, she couldn't see her. Although the Yun family said they were kind to her, but the reason for the other party has never been revealed.

The Xu family doesn't have much access to the inside story, and Jun Jiuyue has to care about the interests of the Jun family, so Lan Shaoqing is the best choice to investigate this matter.

It's a pity that she doesn't know how much favor she owes the other party now.

Without further ado, Lan Shaoqing nodded, "Okay, I'll find out for you tomorrow!"

Mu Chu didn't refuse, and smiled lightly. These names were drawn from the pendant by her during the past two days, and they contained clues about the 20 troops.

I am afraid that these people are all loyal generals who followed the Fengming royal family back then.

She was a little puzzled, if Feng Ming was really that powerful back then, why would he be mobbed and attacked, and finally end up with the ruin of the country and family.

"Brother Lan, do you know Feng Ming?"

For some reason, Mu Chu really wanted to talk to Lan Shaoqing about what was on his mind.

Hearing these two words, Lan Shaoqing's expression obviously became more dignified, and he pressed his fingertips to the corner of his lips, "Chu'er, come with me!"

Mu Chu followed Lan Shaoqing into a room next to Chu Qi.

Because of the epidemic, there were no extra servants in the yard, only the wind was left calmly.

"Why do you suddenly ask this question?"

A flash of doubt flashed in Lan Shaoqing's eyes, but for a moment, he understood a little: "Are you concerned that the queen mother slandered your identity back then, the seal was indeed found from the prime minister's mansion, but no one proved it, so it should be is yours!"

Mu Chu knew that Lan Shaoqing was defending her, and he didn't want her to go over these old things.

"Brother Lan, I know far more than that. It's true that my mother is Princess Yu Zhuo, and my father... is Feng Shu!"

Lan Shaoqing's complexion changed slightly, and she covered Mu Chu's mouth with her hand, "Don't talk about such things in front of other people, otherwise..."

He paused, but Mu Chu saw the dangerous color in his eyes.

"Chu'er, since you want to know, big brother will tell you everything I know!"

Mu Chu nodded and pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

Now she has heard many versions about the Fengming royal family, but she is not sure which one is true.

"The Fengming Dynasty has ruled this continent for hundreds of years, but it is at its strongest in the last generation. It is a pity that 50 years ago, the Fengming Dynasty was betrayed by the Queen's mother's family, the Xiao family. The alliance has long been ambitious. Willing to be destroyed by the third of the five great families suppressed by the Fengming royal family, so the current Xiao family's throne is not glorious, and this is also one of the main reasons why everyone dare not mention the word Fengming again!"

Mu Chu moran: "Who are the five great families?"

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Lan Shaoqing's mouth: "The Jun family, the Yun family, the Lan family, the Luo family, and the Poison Sect Xu family!"

Mu Chu is familiar with the first four, but she is very unfamiliar with the last one, the so-called Poison Sect.

"What is the Poison Sect?"

Lan Shaoqing smiled warmly, and her eyes were as warm as jade: "The Poison Sect members are too vicious, so they disappeared decades ago, and no one knows where they are, so only the four big ones are left today." Aristocratic family, I won’t hide it from you, Chu’er, my Lan family, I also did my best when dealing with the Fengming royal family back then!”

Listening to his words, Mu Chu felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

It's a pity that she is not the original Mu Chu. Although she has taken over the other's body, she will not take such a big responsibility on herself.

She raised her head and saw the obvious guilty look in Lan Shaoqing's eyes, and suddenly smiled slightly: "Why is Big Brother Lan looking at me with that kind of eyes? Do you think I would want to pay for the hatred of the extermination of the family decades ago?" Revenge? Don't be kidding, you and I were not born at that time, it was all a matter of the previous generation, what does it have to do with us!"

"Chu'er, do you really think so? If the Fengming royal family is still alive, I'm afraid you are now the lofty Princess Fengming, not an ordinary woman who is bullied at will!"

"Hurt at will?" Mu Chu smiled slightly when he heard these four words: "Brother Lan, can you see, who can bully me?"

There was a confident arc on the corner of her mouth, and in a pair of bright eyes, it was like a vast and boundless starry sky. The inexplicable complex expression in Lan Shaoqing's eyes was obviously relaxed, and the eyes looking at Mu Chu were soft and unimaginable.

Lan Shaoqing's brows and eyes trembled, and her tone of voice became three points more relaxed: "Chu'er, the late emperor must know your identity, but unfortunately, I don't know what method Princess Yuzhuo used to protect you until now , and asked the Queen Mother to try every means to marry you as Princess Li, I can't figure this out!"

"I already know this!"

Mu Chu slightly raised the corners of his lips, and the expression between his brows was gentle and long, "The late emperor left an imperial edict. If King Li marries me, he will have the right to inherit the throne. As long as the edict is issued, the little emperor will abdicate. But it's also possible that the little emperor doesn't know this secret edict is here, if he knows...!" He would definitely not let her go.

"What? The late emperor really said that?"

Lan Shaoqing looked at Mu Chu in surprise, "So that's the case, no wonder King Li will obey the Queen Mother's arrangement even if he doesn't like you, they've been thinking about it all this time, but why later..."
