Chapter 171 Only sincerity

In the past, Liu Ruxu only knew that Li Yuntian was very popular with Emperor Wu, and his behavior was inevitably a bit arrogant.

Little did he know that he would be so arrogant when facing Prince Li Yunxing!

Li Yunxing was appointed as the crown prince in the dynasty, and he only needed the last step to ascend to the throne.

If his treacherous words spread, I am afraid it will lead to death.

"Second Prince, be careful what you say! You can't say such nonsense." Liu Ruxu scolded in a deep voice.

Li Yuntian was not afraid at all, "My father is now in poor health, and the prince took the opportunity to gain influence in the court. Such ambitious people will sooner or later murder their brothers to seize the throne. I am just trying to protect myself, and there is no offense."

I mean, why does the queen mother need to be angry?"

As soon as the words changed, the second prince knelt down in front of Liu Ruxu and begged: "Mother, I know you don't like me, but I can't just watch the emperor's brother die like this!"

"The Queen is now alone in the harem. The child's mother has passed away, and she is helpless in the palace. Are we going to let the prince run rampant and dominate the family like this?"

"Mother, you have always been merciful. You are the most virtuous and respected master in the palace. Please help me."

As Li Yuntian spoke, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed several times until his forehead was broken.

He was determined to win over Liu Ruxu, so he tried his best to avoid acting realistically enough.

He knew very well where Liu Ruxu's weakness was, so he seized the opportunity and pushed to death.

"Although I am just a female, I still know what it means to be a king and a minister, and a husband to be a wife. You are treasonous!" Liu Ruxu was furious.

Li Yuntian sobbed: "My son is really desperate. I beg my mother to save my life."

"Mother, if you don't save my son, you will have no choice but to watch the prince seek power and usurp the throne. The prince dared to attack King Zhaoyang yesterday, and he will do it to me tomorrow. My life will not be saved by then, so please have mercy on me, empress."

Ah!" He cried till the pear blossoms were wet with rain, and was filled with grief. "My son is devoted to assisting his father. He only hopes that the country will be consolidated forever and be stable forever. Who would have thought that he would encounter such a catastrophe."

Liu Ruxu frowned when she saw that he actually brought up the case of the sudden death of King Zhaoyang.

"Although the prince behaves perversely and cruelly, I believe that he will never murder his brothers."

It's not Liu Ruxu who wants to defend Li Yunxing.

It's just that this wall has ears. If any gossip comes out, it will only cause trouble for yourself.

What's more, the prince's embroidered censor is still hidden where she is, and she is even less willing to get involved in these things.

Her current situation has become increasingly crisis-ridden.

If you are not careful, you will be shattered to pieces.

She didn't want to die too quickly.

"Mother, are you still stubborn about this?" Li Yuntian exhaled in pain, bursting into tears.

"You should know better than my son what kind of character the prince is. He is narrow-minded, cunning and cunning, and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals! He can even harm his own brothers, let alone others?"

"When the prince has grown up, how can he still remember the blood ties between his former compatriots? If he ascends the throne, his children, ministers, and mother will all die!"

It is undeniable that Liu Ruxu was really moved by Li Yuntian's words.

What he said was correct. What a ruthless and ruthless person the crown prince Li Yunxing was. Liu Ruxu had already realized it without waiting for him to ascend the throne.

Compared with Li Yuntian's crying, Liu Ruxu considered more about her own interests.

Regardless of whether Li Yuntian was really crying today or pretending to be sad, at least there was nothing wrong with what he said.

The current prince Li Yunxing is indeed a cruel person. After ascending to the position of supervising the country, he killed countless people in the court.

Even her father and the dignified Prime Minister had to avoid Li Yunxing.

If Li Yunxing ascends the throne, what will he do?

Thinking of this, Liu Ruxu's face changed unexpectedly.

As for Li Yuntian, speaking of it, he is more suitable to be the puppet of the Liu family than Su Zhaoyang.

His biological mother was the beloved Concubine Qi, who was also the second-ranked prince.

The third prince and the fourth prince were twins. The elder brother was good at swords and the younger brother was a good boxer. They were sent to the military camp for training as soon as they turned fourteen.

Today's fifth prince is addicted to wood carving. It is said that he has carved hundreds of portraits in the courtyard. The last time Emperor Wu went to see him in person, he was shocked by the wood carvings in the courtyard and walked away.

This also caused the fifth prince to become the least threatening existence among the princes, and other princes rushed to step on the fifth prince to ascend to the throne.

The sixth prince died of smallpox in his early years, and the seventh prince adopted his adopted son, Su Zhaoyang, who is now dead.

The last eighth prince is only three years old this year, and he is still at an age where he could fall down when walking on flat ground. Judging from Emperor Wu's deteriorating physical condition, the eighth prince has no chance of seizing the throne.

That being said, Li Yuntian is indeed Liu Ruxu's only choice.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Li Yuntian coldly and said, "Since you know the dignity of the prince, aren't you afraid of being punished?"

Li Yuntian wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said respectfully: "As long as the lives of the queen mother and the Liu family can be saved, I am willing to lose this life."

His expression was extremely firm, as if he was looking forward to death.

Liu Ruxu sighed secretly, and her determination gradually deepened, "You are right. As long as you are sincerely loyal to the emperor and me, I will help you."

Hearing this, Li Yuntian's eyes instantly lit up and he said excitedly, "Mother!"

But Liu Ruxu is not someone who changes course so easily.

"It's just..." She paused and continued, "I promise and do countless things. I am only the master of the harem. If the second prince wants to get help from the court..."

Liu Ruxu's promise to Li Yuntian does not mean that Liu Zhongqing will agree.

She knew that Li Yuntian would come to find her, more because he wanted to control the power of the Liu family in his hands and seek greater benefits for him.

She naturally understands this little thought, so she reminds him that if he wants to get support, he needs to pay a higher price.

Sure enough, after listening to this, Li Yuntian showed a struggling look on his face.

After a moment, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will do my best to fulfill my mission!"

"My son will definitely prove to Master Liu in his own way that he is determined to be loyal to his mother and queen!"

Liu Ruxu nodded slightly and signaled him to step back, "Okay, it's getting late. You can go back home. Remember what I ordered and don't delay."

It's just that Liu Ruxu couldn't see the change in Li Yuntian's expression.

One second he was miserable and crying that he was helpless. The next second he buried his head with disdain and contempt on his face.
