Chapter 212

Mu Hongyu asked suspiciously: "How can you be sure that the emperor will definitely not favor the Li family this time?"

"Li's mansion is extremely powerful, and he is an important minister in Bai'an. How can the emperor seriously not leave Taifu Li at all?"

For the sake of Li Fu's sake, if the emperor wants to make this big issue into a small one, it is not difficult at all, and it is not even difficult to make a small matter into nothing.

However, this time, the emperor refused to leave even half of his face to the Li family, and even ordered Li Yuanfan's life to be taken neatly.

This is very different from the emperor's style in the past, and Mu Hongyu can't figure it out no matter what.

You must know that in the past, no matter where he was, the emperor would always treat the Taifu's residence with a three-pointer.

Today's matter, if the emperor is more serious, he must deliberate carefully, find loopholes in order to forgive Li Yuanfan, it is even easier.

But the emperor just believed in the evidence in front of him, and he didn't even ask about the suspicious things that could not withstand careful scrutiny.

It's almost as if... the emperor did it on purpose.

Lifting the curtain, and glancing at the side of the road speeding past outside the carriage, Mu Changge turned his eyes away again, squinting his eyes, "Brother guessed right, the emperor did it on purpose."

Mu Hongyu was stunned, and was even more puzzled.

Mu Changge smiled slightly, "Brother should have heard the saying, hit a snake and hit it seven inches. No matter how powerful a poisonous snake is, it has its weaknesses. As long as you hit the seven inches accurately, no matter what kind of ferocious snake it is, it will not hurt." Don't try to escape."

"And this time, we hit the seven inches of Li's mansion." Mu Changge said softly, with a pair of clear eyes that were exceptionally deep.

The Li Mansion is indeed powerful, whether it is Li Taifu or Li Wenbo, who is the Hussar General, they have all made great contributions to Bai'an and the current emperor.

Mu Hongyu suddenly realized, "It's because the Taifu's family has made great achievements, so the emperor can't keep them anymore."

"No." Mu Changge shook his head, "The current emperor is not an incompetent monarch. No matter how prosperous the Li Mansion is, it will not have any influence on the emperor."

"Then why?" Mu Hongyu was puzzled again.

"Brother, you might as well think about it, now, what is the thing that the emperor misses the most."

Mu Hongyu pondered for a while, "The emperor is getting old and weak, and the most worrying thing is whether the crown prince can successfully inherit the throne."

Mu Changge smiled lightly, and his eyes were extremely agile, "The Li Mansion is in full swing, and it has nothing to do with that Concubine Li Shu in the palace. But today, the Emperor's decisiveness towards the Li Manor is also inseparable from that Concubine Li Shu." related."

The relationship between the Li Mansion and the fourth prince Su Yibin is obviously to get close to the prince.

How can the emperor, who has experienced princes seize the throne, really not know what the princes are thinking?
All the princes are coveting the golden dragon chair, but there can only be one person who can sit on the dragon chair in the end.

The emperor was determined to pass on the throne to the crown prince, and from the moment this thought was deeply rooted, the emperor secretly began to plan to pave the way for the crown prince.

With the emperor around, a Li Mansion is still not enough to make a fortune, but after passing on the throne in the future, for the still young new emperor, once the Li Mansion has the heart to rebel, it may not be the case.

Because of this, as long as there is a little possibility of justice, the emperor will never let go of the opportunity to reduce the power of Li Fu.

What's more, Su Yunhao has a close relationship with the Mu family, and the emperor has already firmly believed that Mu Hongyu is the prince's man.

As for the current Mu family, although there are descendants as talented as Mu Hongyu, they don't have much power after all. It is also the emperor's deliberation to support such a capable but not ambitious person by the prince's side.

Li Yuanfan only thinks that the Li Mansion is a red-hot existence in front of the emperor, but he has forgotten what it means to be an emperor and a courtier.In the emperor's mind, even the combined lives of the entire Li family would not be worth a future new emperor.

"Elder Brother will spend his whole life by the Emperor's side. Regardless of whether the person Eldest Brother is loyal to is the Emperor or the new Emperor in the future, you must always keep in mind. As a subject, if you want to live a safe life, you must not only have ability, but also have the ability Know how to guess the holy will."

Mu Changge said slowly: "Brother is not the kind of flatterer, but accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Some things are not for profit, but for personal protection."

Mu Hongyu nodded slowly, feeling quite emotional, "Second sister, elder brother has read thousands of books of sages, but he is still not as good as you."

"Brother just never thought of these things." Mu Changge said, opened the curtain to look out of the window, and asked again, "I'm going back home soon, have you made a decision, brother?"

Mu Hongyu shrank his palms, and there was a wry smile on his face.

Compared with the emperor's interrogation, what he didn't want to face today was this matter.

It's just that what should come will always come.

Mu Hongyu sighed softly, closed his eyes tiredly, and quietly waited for the moment when the carriage stopped.

In the Mu residence.

Aunt Song and Aunt Jiang did not go to Li's Mansion with them before, when they were waiting in the mansion, they had already brewed calming tea and anxiously waited for their return.

Seeing that Mu Changge and Mu Hongyu had returned safely, Aunt Song's face became more relaxed.

"You're back, are you okay?" Aunt Jiang stepped forward, held her daughter's hand, and asked cautiously.

"It's all right now, but it's just a misunderstanding." Mu Changge said softly.

"That's good, that's good..." Aunt Jiang patted her chest, recited Amitabha, and ordered the servant girl to bring up the soothing tea one by one.

The old man was obviously quite frightened today, and his expression was quite depressed. He slowly sat back in his chair, took a cup of hot tea, and drank it bit by bit.

Following the position, the servant girl brought Anshen tea to Mu Wenxian again, and Mu Wenxian raised his hand to take it, and then swept the tea cup aside with a bit of disgust, almost sweeping the tea cup to the ground.

Mu Wenxian got up and was about to leave. The second lady squatted for a while holding the teacup, and quickly got up with him, "Where are you going?"

"Mianhualou." Mu Wenxian didn't turn his head, but just paused, as if he had heard it.

"Father." Mu Hongyu said suddenly, "Father was frightened even thinking about coming here today, so let's drink a couple of sips of this tea."

Mu Hongyu opened his mouth to ask him to stay, which made people feel a little surprised.

Over the years, the second master, Mu Wenxian, has never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, and Mu Hongyu seldom talked to his father.

Mu Wenxian opened his mouth, but he was obviously a little impatient, "There is a lot of tea in Mianhualou, so you don't have to bother to drink it."

After all, Mu Wenxian wanted to go out, but no sooner did he take a step than someone closed the door.

"What does this mean?" Mu Wenxian smiled, "Why doesn't brother want to stay here? He doesn't even have to enter. If I want to leave, I will be put under house arrest?"

In just a short period of time, the old man, who was stimulated one after another, looked a little old. He sighed tremblingly, waved his hands, and said to Mu Hongyu: "He is going, you can let him go."

"Father is going, but is it really Mianhualou?"

Without responding to the old man's words, Mu Hongyu stood up straight and looked at Mu Wenxian expressionlessly.

The corners of Mu Wenxian's mouth tensed, his face was extremely gloomy, "Where am I going, and when do I need to explain to you one by one!"

With a sneer, he crawled up the lines on Mu Wenxian's face like an earthworm, "No matter how prosperous you are in the imperial court, I am also your father, so it's better not to show off that set of official airs in front of me. "

"Second Uncle why speak so aggressively, after all, Big Brother is just worried about you." Mu Changge smiled lightly, the fingers holding the teacup were more tender than the tip of the first bamboo shoot in spring.

The slender eyelashes cast a small shadow on her eyelids, Mu Changge looked at Mu Wenxian unhurriedly, and spoke slowly from those delicate vermilion lips in a warm voice.

"The cup of tea that Second Uncle wants to drink is probably not so easy to drink now. After all, such a big incident has just happened in the Li Mansion, and everyone must be busy preparing for Second Cousin. Let's have a decent funeral."

The gentle words like willow catkins made Mu Wenxian's expression change in an instant.

The old man was also taken aback, "Li Mansion?"

"What am I going to Li's Mansion for?" Mu Wenxian sneered, because he was addicted to wine and sex all day long, his eyes were always bloodshot and bright red.

"Isn't Second Uncle the clearest about what to do in Li's Mansion?" Mu Changge glanced over with his deep eyes, "Why should Second Uncle pretend to be confused when he knows something well?"

"Troublesome, how should I respond!?" Mu Wenxian's complexion darkened, "I can't be tolerated in the house, I just leave!"

"Get out of the way!" Mu Wenxian strode to the door, wanting to force his way out, but the two who blocked the door did not give an inch.

Helpless, Mu Wenxian had no choice but to take a few steps back for the time being, his face as cold as ice.

Mu Hongyu's cheeks tightened, and when he spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse, "Why on earth did father do this? Hong Yu and father are in the same blood, flesh and blood! Why on earth are you..."

"Why do you want to turn around and help the Li family to deal with your flesh and blood! Does father really want to see his son become a prisoner with his head in a different place!?"

With a bang sound, the teacup in the old man's hand fell to the ground, and his hands shook into sieves. With a blue face, he stared at Mu Wenxian in disbelief.

"You...you have colluded with the Li family!?"

"Father did this, why on earth!?" Mu Hongyu stared at him stubbornly, his eyes were already flushed.

Mu Wenxian opened his mouth, as if to quibble, then changed his mind, raised his head, and his smile was even more sarcastic than before.

"Flesh and blood relatives, so what?"

Mu Hongyu was stunned, only feeling a bone-chilling chill all over his body.

On the contrary, Mu Wenxian looked relaxed, stretched out his body, leaned back on the back of the chair, and vividly interpreted the four characters of shamelessness and a smile.

"Why, you are my flesh and blood, what does it matter!?"
