Tell the lord, the princess has climbed the wall

Chapter 167 There is a reason to choose me

"What's wrong? What happened again?" Zuo Mu walked over and leaned on Sima Cheng's shoulder.

"Oh, no...it's nothing, it's just some trivial matter." Sima Cheng responded casually, but subconsciously turned the paper over with his hand, and put the back side up on the table.

"What is so mysterious? You still don't want me to see it?" Zuo Mu raised his eyebrows and teased with a smile.

Sima Cheng froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal, and said calmly, "No, you can see my things as you like, and you can look at them whenever you want."

"Really, I don't regret it!" Zuo Mu smiled and stretched out his hand to turn over the pages,

Sure enough, the top card roughly said that Annan General Xue Mu had already set off, on his way to Xixia to attend King Yu's wedding.

Zuo Mu was stunned: Well, it seems that Xue Mu has really become a thorn in Sima Cheng's heart.

However, she naturally knows that this kind of thing cannot be explained too much, otherwise it will only become darker and darker.

The only hope now is to give everything to time, and believe that time will prove everything.

"General Xue is coming. I already knew about it just now. It was Zhaoran and Bai Shan who told me. By the way, Bai Shan asked me to ask him about someone."

Zuo Mu let out a sigh of relief, pretending to be relaxed.

"Hmm!" Sima Cheng didn't know what he was thinking, so he responded indifferently.

Neither of them spoke, and the air froze in an instant.

Zuo Mu was a little bored, subconsciously flipped through the next few pages,
Mu Chen, the prince of the Yue family, Xiao Ruoyun, the princess of Yu, Liang Yu, the fifth prince of Heishui...

"It's strange, how come so many people come here when King Yu is married? How important is it that you don't usually see him?" Seeing that almost all the important people from neighboring countries came, Zuo Mu couldn't help asking curiously.

"Participating in the wedding banquet is just a cover on the surface. They are mainly concerned about the candidate for the crown prince this time. Maybe everyone wants to stand up in advance and have a good relationship with the future monarch of Xixia, so that they can get a share of the pie later."

Sima Cheng sighed softly, raised his hand and pulled Zuo Mu into his arms, "Did you drink the papaya milk soup?"

"Drink it. Nanny An specially explained it to me during lunch, saying that it contains the antidote prescribed by Abbot Wu Ming." Zuo Mu explained with a smile.

Suddenly, a flash appeared in his mind, and he inexplicably made up the image of being held in the cold spring by someone every day for nearly half a month, and Zuo Mu suddenly felt a little bad again.

"Although they stood in line early, why do I think the people who came were from Queen Xu's side?" Zuo Mu hurriedly changed the subject in order to get rid of the inappropriate image in his mind.

Sima Cheng raised his eyebrows, "How do you say that?"

"Look, the concubine of King Yu Sima Ling is Liang Ran, the princess of Heishui Kingdom. Heishui has always been on the side of Empress Xu. In a few days, he will marry Mu Qi, the princess of Yueshi. That month Naturally, Shi should also be on Queen Xu's side this time."

Zuo Mu analyzed solemnly, "The only one who is famous after all the calculations is the intention of Xiao Ruoyun, the princess of Dayu..."

"Is there any more?" Sima Cheng cast a sideways glance at Zuo Mu and asked casually.Gently playing with Zuo Mu's hair in his hand,
After being reminded by Sima Cheng, Zuo Mu suddenly thought of something and suddenly realized,
"By the way, there is another thing, didn't it mean that Prince Chun just died last spring?
Oh my god, what is the meaning of King Chun and this Xiao Ruoyun?In this way, all of them are leaning towards Queen Xu's side, and Concubine Cheng's side is not at all lost. "

"Our Mu'er is really smart!" Sima Cheng smiled in his eyes, and gently wrapped the hair with one finger, removed it, wrapped it and removed it, and played with it tirelessly, "It's just that your analysis is right and wrong. .”

"That's right? Not right? What does this mean?" Zuo Mu was a little confused by the words.Is there something else hidden in the matter?

"It is true that King Chun has the intention of marrying Xiao Ruoyun and wooing Dayu," Sima Cheng smiled lightly and said mysteriously, "But even if King Yu marries Mu Qi in a few days, the Yue clan may not stand on the side of King Chun." Here."

"Why is this?" Zuo Mu asked
Apparently, Sima Cheng was very happy to see Zuo Mu's sensitivity and eagerness to learn, and patiently explained to her, "The Yueshi Prince Mu Chen has always been an open-minded, wise and courageous person, and he has his own views and methods in doing things.

And Mu Qi came from Prince Dun's Mansion. Coincidentally, this Prince Dun has always had his own ideas and means, and apart from these, he also has an ambition not to be resigned to others.

I heard that he has been doing small tricks in private all these years, not to mention raising soldiers and horses privately, digging iron ore privately, and casting weapons.

There were even rumors that he had actually raised his army last spring, but he was cut off by Na Muchen before he started.

Mu Chen thought that Emperor Yueshi was old and seriously ill, and he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the pain of losing his siblings, so he was quietly imprisoned, otherwise his head might have been moved.

Of course, this is also the reason why Mu Qi rushed to marry herself as soon as she came to Xixia? "

"Oh, so it turns out that Mu Qi doesn't really like you at all. She has repeatedly calculated that I want to be Concubine Kang, just to win over his father's influence?"

Zuo Mu finally realized the essence of the matter belatedly. It turned out that this so-called love was just an eyesore for these people.

"What I'm just curious about is, if she was in a hurry to marry herself off, why did she choose you? Mingming Chun Wang was already dead at the time, and she was the biggest contender for the crown prince. Shouldn't she be a better candidate than you?" ?”

"Choosing me naturally has a reason to choose me.

First of all, Mu Qi understands better than anyone else that King Chun is now in a critical period of fighting for the heir, and more than she needs to win over power and prepare for his own succession. Compared with Xiao Ruoyun, he doesn't care about this at all and has already caused a lot of trouble. Mu Qi.

Secondly, because this king's fief is at the critical point of Annan and Yuezhi, if she marries into Kang Wang's mansion, then this king's tens of thousands of flying eagle troops can immediately become the bargaining chip for Prince Dun to make a comeback.

And the most important thing is that the outside world has been rumored that this king is already terminally ill, is it not long before he is ill?
Not long after getting married in this way, once the king passed away under Mu Qi's meticulous service, the tens of thousands of flying eagle troops would completely belong to Prince Dun.

And when the time comes, Mu Chen will be attacked from both sides, and it will be difficult to trap Prince Dun, an ambitious tiger. "

"Well, the harm of the two powers is the lesser. It seems that Mu Qi's calculation is not ordinary." Zuo Mu suddenly realized.

"It's just that I still can't figure out what the Empress Dowager Bai, Empress Xu, and Concubine Cheng are planning in this matter, why they have to do this again and again, and everyone who has worked tirelessly to help Mu Where's Qi?"

"People like them have never been kind-hearted Bodhisattvas, how could they help out for no reason," Sima Cheng smiled wryly, and said helplessly,
