The night is as cool as water.

Shihuayuan, in a private room on the second floor.

When Mu Qing heard the words of the person in front of her, her heart was shaken and she immediately realized something.

There is no way to seal it!

The most fearful thing about imperial power is that it cannot be sealed.

No matter to the ministers or the prince.

There are only four words for the reason: his great achievements overwhelm his master.

It's okay to be a minister. After all, there are ethical restrictions. No matter how great a minister's merits are, if he wants to become a master, he will definitely face the condemnation of the people in the world, which is extremely difficult.

However, the prince is different.

If the prince's contribution is too great, he will become popular and supported by his officials and people, and he will take the road of becoming an emperor.

Prince!

He has been granted the title of king. If he cannot be granted the title, if he can be granted the title of prince again, he will be crown prince.

Thinking of this, Mu Qing clenched her hands tightly, and her doubts for many days were finally solved.

Across the table, Li Ziye took the wine bottle and refilled their glasses.

What makes Mu Qing better than Mu Bai is that many things don't need to be said too straightforwardly.

None of us are fools. Wouldn't it be better to be a Riddler? It's too straightforward and boring.

"Your Highness, drink with me, I respect you."

After filling up the wine, Li Ziye raised his glass and said calmly.

Mu Qing came back to her senses, picked up the wine glass, and drank the wine in one gulp with a bitter look on her face.

It turns out that the problem lies here.

His father was worried that if he performed military exploits again, he would threaten the throne of the fourth emperor brother.

"Your Highness, is this wine not bad?"

Li Ziye put down the wine glass and said, "This should be the best wine in Shihuayuan."

"It's very bitter."

Mu Qing sighed deeply and said, "Thank you, Professor Li."

"Thank you for nothing. I just heard that His Highness has been drinking heavily these days, which makes me feel a little bit unbearable."

Li Ziye said softly, "I have said that in my heart, I have regarded His Highness as a friend. I came here today just to have a few drinks with His Highness. After all, in this capital, anyone who dares to sit and drink with His Highness,

I’m afraid there aren’t many left.”

"Jiao Li, Brother Li, I respect you!"

Mu Qing picked up the jug, filled up their glasses, raised their glasses, and said in a deep voice, "When Brother Li taught me the mixed tactics, I knew that Brother Li was definitely not a thing in the pool. Brother Four Emperors are very good at it."

Lucky to have the help of a great talent like Brother Li!"

"I can see that His Highness actually doesn't want to fight."

Li Ziye also picked up the wine glass and sighed softly, "It's just that His Highness cannot accept that his destiny is influenced by others, or even denied by others."

"If it's fourth brother, I'll accept it!"

Mu Qing drank the wine in one gulp again and said bitterly, "I never thought about arguing with my fourth brother, but my father's precautions against me really chill me."

Now, he could finally be sure that when the four kings took over the throne, he was equal to the other three, but it was just his father who used him to balance the other three.

From the beginning to the end, in the heart of his father, he was not the best candidate for the crown prince, and he was not even qualified.

"If it is His Highness, I think His Highness the Fourth Highness will not have any objections."

Li Ziye said calmly, "It's a pity that in this position, His Highness and the Fourth Highness can't help themselves."

"In the royal family, birth determines everything."

Mu Qing said with a complex expression, "The fourth brother is the daughter of the Queen and the legitimate son of the father. It is justifiable for him to succeed to the throne. However, I am not from a high background. Even if I have some military exploits, it is difficult to convince the public. In this regard, I

I know it all.”

"Concubine Wen, if you can be named a concubine, your status in the palace is actually not low." Li Ziye comforted her.

"It's no use."

Mu Qing shook her head and replied, "After all, my mother-in-law is not the daughter of an important official of the imperial court. Even if she is given the title of concubine, she is just a duckweed in the rain and has no foundation."

Li Ziye narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing the words of the eleventh prince in front of him.

It seems that Mu Qing does not know the true situation of his mother, Concubine Wen.

That Concubine Wen was really tolerant. She even kept it a secret from her own son for so many years.

Why?

Is it because of the Shang Emperor's order, or for some other reason?

The water in the palace is so deep that one cannot even see the bottom.

"I don't know much about the royal family, and I shouldn't talk too much. However, I think that if your highness has something to do, you should have a good talk with Concubine Wen first, instead of drinking in a place like this."

Li Ziye persuaded with a serious expression, "Perhaps Concubine Wen can give His Highness some pointers."

"It's no use."

Mu Qing sighed again and said, "Concubine Mother never cares about my affairs. I can understand that Concubine Mother has a low status in the palace and must be careful to protect herself. How can she have the energy to take care of me."

"Your Highness, there is a saying that I don't know if you have heard of it. A woman is weak by nature, but a mother is strong. Your Highness should have a good talk with Concubine Wen when you have the opportunity."

Li Ziye said sternly, "No matter what His Highness thinks or does, just tell me. I don't believe that Concubine Wen really doesn't care about Your Highness. Even I, an outsider, can think of coming over to have a few drinks with His Highness. What's more?"

Concubine Wen is the biological mother of His Highness. Perhaps, the Concubine has been paying attention to His Highness's condition. Her Highness must be in such a state, and the Concubine must feel uncomfortable."

"Being a mother is strong."

Mu Qing heard the former's words and murmured softly.

Is this really the case?

"Qingxuan."

Li Ziye turned to look at the girl behind him and asked, "Have you seen your mother?"

"No."

Yu Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head gently and responded, "I have grown up with the band since I was a child and have never seen my parents."

"Want to meet?" Li Ziye asked again.

"I can't even dream of it." Yu Qingxuan sighed.

"Me too."

Li Ziye withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "In my heart, my magnificent mother is the most beautiful woman in the world. Although she passed away before I could remember, no one can shake my mother's position in my heart.

, I also believe that there is no mother in this world who does not love her children."

Across the table, Mu Qing listened to the conversation between the two, clenched her hands, and her expression changed several times.

"Your Highness, drink this last glass and then go back."

Li Ziye poured down two glasses of wine and said softly, "I use wine to relieve my sorrow and make my sorrow worse. Drinking is just to relieve boredom, not to relieve sorrow. No matter how much you drink, it is useless."

"Brother Li."

Mu Qing looked at the wine glass in front of her. After a moment, she raised her head and asked, "Why are some people born with stars in their eyes, while some people, despite their hard work, still don't get recognition from others? This is fair."

?”

"Not fair."

Li Ziye responded simply, "But so what? Your Highness, we cannot ask for fairness in the world, but we can work hard to make ourselves and cherished people closer to fairness and live a fair life."

The essence of "" is not a fairy tale, but a battlefield where you and I are fighting for each other. On the battlefield, can you ask the enemy and us to be fair? If so, why would Dashang be so embarrassed?"

Negotiating fairness with a prince.

This is really ironic.
