The emperor's plan: to rule the world

Chapter 283
Chu Xuan frowned, and asked, "What's the situation above the court?"

The corner of Zhaohe's mouth twitched imperceptibly: "Some people said that Prime Minister Zuo was wronged, but then Prime Minister Zuo admitted these charges himself, and even tried to hold His Majesty hostage. Now...the ministers have been reprimanded by His Majesty, probably I won’t dare to intervene in this matter at will.”

Chu Xuan nodded, once again surprised at his father's courage and his stupidity: "He is holding His Majesty hostage?"

Zhao He said blankly: "My lord should have imagined what was going on at that time."

Chu Xuan frowned.

He didn't even have a chance to escape if he was questioned directly by the court. The only way was to catch him without a fight, but obviously, his good father was not willing to do this.

That being the case, holding His Majesty hostage is his only chance of survival.

As for whether this chance of life will become a dead end...

Seeming to know what he was thinking, Zhao He said without emotion: "With His Highness here, he didn't succeed."

Chu Xuan nodded again.

It's right if you don't succeed, Qin Shu is by His Majesty's side, and he is not a dead man who can tolerate Her Majesty being injured under his nose again and again.

It is estimated that Qin Shu was really annoyed now.

"Young master, what are you going to do?"

Mu Yan listened to their conversation quietly, and didn't speak until this time: "Why don't you go to Yunzhou with me?"

Chu Xuan looked back at her, then shook his head: "What are you doing in Yunzhou?"

Mu Yan said: "Killing the king and treason is a serious crime that implicates the nine clans. If you and I go to Yunzhou, I can keep you."

The empress would never go to Yunzhou to find someone to ask for, she traveled thousands of miles, even if she went there, it would be a question of whether she could ask for someone, the empress should not do such a laborious thing that might not be able to get good things.

Chu Xuan understood what she meant, but he couldn't leave: "Things aren't that bad yet, my son won't be in a mess now."

"Besides, doesn't it seem that my son is too guilty of absconding in fear of crime?"

He didn't want his fame to be ruined in one lifetime. If he really went to Yunzhou, his life would be safe, but his life would definitely be ruined.

Chu Xuan said frankly: "There is no rush for this matter."

It's useless to be anxious, he might as well manage Yunzhou first.

Mu Yan frowned: "Could it be that you still want to wait for the empress' order to punish her?"

Chu Xuan was silent.

Mu Yan looked at him quietly for a while, and finally said: "If you need my help, you can just tell me, I'll go to sleep for a while."

Chu Xuan nodded.

This matter isn't that bad yet, even if that day really comes... Let's talk about it on that day.

Chu Xuan watched her walk towards the room, but he and Zhaohe entered the study.

Sitting down behind the desk, Chu Xuan asked lightly, "What's the specific situation?"

Zhaohe replied: "His Royal Highness sent someone Feiying to deliver the news, and all the evidence is true. Prime Minister Zuo... loves Concubine Chen."

Chu Xuan squeezed the center of his eyebrows, and his voice was very depressed: "The concubine of the Supreme Emperor, the one who died in the cold palace?"

"Yes."

The roots of troubles!

Chu Xuan didn't know the grievances and hatreds of the previous generation, but at this moment he finally understood his father's obsession for so many years. He loved Chuning the most because Chuning resembled him the most.

And his father hated him because he was loyal to Dayan's royal family, and because the woman he loved the most died in Dayan's cold palace, so he hated Dayan's emperor, and also hated himself, the eldest son who was alienated from him.
