After all, Peng Yu left the fiefdom without permission this time and went to the royal capital without being summoned. To be honest, if the officials in the court impeached him, they would most likely accuse him of treason.
Previously, the second prince had pushed him to the point where he had no choice but to go to Xingyang to fight. But now that the situation had changed, it was time for him to have other considerations.
In the inn, several people discussed it, but no one came up with a charter.
Some people think that now that the crisis is over, they should go back to Lushan County. After all, Lushan County is the headquarters of King Beilu.
Entering the royal capital without being summoned is not a wise move. If you enter the royal capital at this time, you will fall into a passive situation.
But some people think that they should continue to Xingyang and this matter must be completely resolved.
It's not that they don't trust Chen Muyu, but they don't trust Lou Qianji.
For monks like them, the oath of the heart is indeed binding, but there is no guarantee that Lou Qianji will ignore this binding and angrily tear up the agreement.
Besides, it was Lou Qianji who had an agreement with Chen Muyu, not the second prince.
Therefore, they felt that the only way to completely resolve the matter was to go to Xingyang and ask the Emperor and the Empress to come forward.
The two parties did not agree on the same views and argued, and in the end they did not come to an agreement.
I can only give up in frustration and wait until Peng Yu has rested before making a decision.
After everyone dispersed, Chen Muyu took the initiative to find Li Xu.
In the room, Li Xu stood at the window, looking out the window, a little distracted and not sure what he was thinking.
That is the direction of Xingyang, the royal capital.
"Brother Li, what are you thinking about?"
Chen Muyu entered the room, sat down at the table, and picked up the tea on the table to make it.
Li Xu came back to his senses and turned to look at Chen Muyu, "Brother Yang is really surprising. He was able to make Lou Qianji compromise and retreat with one person. It seems a bit unreasonable to say that you are not in the Seven Star Realm."
After saying that, he smiled and came to sit next to Chen Muyu.
Chen Muyu shook his head, "Compared with Brother Li, he is still a little behind."
"oh?"
Li Xu frowned slightly, with a bit of doubt in his eyes, "What does Brother Yang mean by this?"
He could hear that there was something different in Chen Muyu's words.
Chen Muyu smiled faintly, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. The taste was okay, but the taste was a bit bitter.
"I talked with Mr. Lou Guozhang. Brother Li, aren't you curious about what we talked about?"
Chen Muyu seemed to be speaking casually, but in fact there was something behind his words.
Li Xu was paused when he heard the words, and then he smiled and said, "I don't have any merits, except that I'm not very curious."
"He mentioned you."
Chen Muyu's abrupt words interrupted Li Xu's attention.
Li Xu was obviously stunned when he heard this.
The limbs became a little stiff, as if someone had tapped an acupuncture point.
After a long time, Li Xu's body softened and he put down the tea cup handed over by Chen Muyu dejectedly, "He told you everything?"
"Nothing is too big or too small. What should be said and what shouldn't be said are all made very clear."
Chen Muyu said directly.
When Li Xu heard this, he froze again.
Then, he smiled bitterly and said, "He must hate me very much, right?"
There was a bit of sadness in his words.
Chen Muyu said, "As the saying goes, the cause of the past is the result of today. Brother Li's experience is indeed sympathetic, but it seems that it is difficult to sympathize with him."
"hehe."
Li Xu laughed twice, "He hates me, so why don't I hate him? If he hadn't broken up Yan'er and me back then, why would we have ended up where we are today?"
The tone was calm, but one could still hear a bit of resentment in the words.
What happened back then, to this day, still makes Li Xu brood over it.
"So, Peng Yu is indeed the son of you and the empress?" Chen Muyu asked.
Li Xu didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either. He just remained silent.
Obviously, this should be the default.
After a long time, he said, "Yan'er and I really love each other. Maybe in the eyes of others, what we did was a bit disrespectful of etiquette. Haha, even the most beloved person can't be with me, and we have to do that."
What is the use of etiquette?"
"Brother Yang, you may think that I am very unbearable, right? Or maybe you may think that what Yan'er and I did is not worthy of the emperor?"
"Haha, Emperor Zun seemed to have done nothing in the whole thing, but in fact, he did everything. If he hadn't appeared and asked the Lou family to marry Yan'er, how would Lou Qianji have done it?
Clinging to the royal court and doing that thing of beating a mandarin duck?"
"In the final analysis, Emperor Zun is the culprit, and he is not innocent."
Li Xu talked a lot, and it was clear that he was venting his dissatisfaction.
These dissatisfactions have been accumulating in his heart for a long time.
"It doesn't make sense who is right or wrong, and I don't care."
Chen Muyu shook his head. In emotional matters, it is unrealistic to insist on distinguishing right from wrong.
In this whole thing, maybe everyone is wrong, or maybe everyone is not wrong.
Everyone stands in their own position and makes such and such choices, which are understandable and reasonable.
What was wrong with Emperor Zun? He just asked to marry a woman from the Lou family.
What's wrong with Lou Qianji? He just wants to bring the Lou family to a higher level.
As for Li Xu and the Empress, what's wrong? They just love each other.
Chen Muyu and Li Xu chatted so much, but this was not what they were talking about.
"Brother Li, I'm very curious. Since the Emperor knows about your existence and the affairs between you and the Empress, he really has such a broad mind and has always turned a blind eye to you. Moreover, he is still treating the Empress as before?
"
This is what Chen Muyu is curious about.
He was thinking in his heart that this empress must be an incomparably beautiful woman. Otherwise, no matter how tolerant the emperor is, he will never tolerate his wife having children with other men, right?
Hearing Chen Muyu's question, Li Xu pondered for a moment.
"Is there something unspeakable?" Chen Muyu asked.
Li Xu shook his head gently, "It's not a secret that can't be said. This matter is a secret to the Emperor, but it is not a secret to outsiders. It doesn't hurt to tell you."
Chen Muyu's eyes moved slightly, and his eyes fell on Li Xu. Looking at the man in front of him who had stories written all over his body, he wanted to prepare some tea and listen carefully.
After pondering for a moment, Li Xu said, "This Peng Family Royal Court has an extremely powerful skill. It is said that it was passed down from the ancient times by a nine-star power called Kongming Taoist..."
"This technique is actually a yin and yang technique that requires the cooperation of both husband and wife. If the two are at the same level, practicing together will get twice the result with half the effort. There is a high chance of breaking through to the next level in one fell swoop..."
"For the Peng Royal Court, with the existence of the Dragon Yuan Fruit Tree, it is only a matter of time before they can break through to the Seven Star Realm."
