But Emperor Hongyuan's recent behavior has become more and more excessive.
Yesterday he received a secret report that Emperor Hongyuan was obsessed with the elixir and his temper became extremely violent and suspicious.
If the palace people are not careful, they will be beheaded by him.
At the same time, he also plotted to kill Zhang Fuyin, Tian Zhang and others while he was away from the imperial city.
The queen also asked Su Changxiao to use witchcraft to frame the eldest princess. Fortunately, the eldest princess had already made arrangements and was not framed by them.
These people are so vicious and ambitious.
They killed his parents in the first place, and now they want to kill them all without leaving a way out.
How could he just sit back and wait to be slaughtered?
He will never let the country of Chu fall into the hands of such evil people.
Having said this, he slowly raised his hands to Jiang Ning, "My lord must be very angry when he knows these things. Your lord also sympathizes with the suffering of the people.
I know very well that you are the pillar and mainstay of the country, and that you care about the common people, so I came to see you.
For the sake of the people of the world, I hope that you, sir, can help me."
Hearing this, Jiang Ning's face suddenly turned pale.
He sighed heavily, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "I know very well that Your Majesty is devoted to the people, and cannot bear to have the foundation created by the late Emperor destroyed in the hands of evil people.
But the lower official is just a small governor now, and has long since stopped caring about those things. If he really can’t help the prince, he should ask the prince to find someone else."
Chu Xuanchen said: "I have long expected that your Excellency will say this. Is there something unspeakable for you, Your Excellency?"
He could see that Jiang Ning wanted to take refuge with him, but he didn't dare.
Cold sweat broke out on Jiang Ning's forehead, his body was trembling a little, and he said: "I'll tell you the truth, Your Majesty.
At that time, Xiaguan was young and energetic, and he spoke uprightly for the late emperor, but was demoted by Emperor Hongyuan.
Two of the three sons of the lower official were also killed. From then on, the family suffered constant disasters and the official career was bumpy.
Later, Xianguan found out that Xianguan's two sons were assassinated by people sent by Emperor Hongyuan. Fortunately, Mu Yu escaped because of his frailty and illness and was raised in the countryside!"
"Later, I felt that the emperor would not let Mu Yu go.
He took the initiative to write a letter to the emperor, admitting his mistake and surrendering to him, and then he spared Mu Yu.
Otherwise, how could Mu Yu be the top scholar in high school and enter the Hanlin Academy?
The lower official did not want Mu Yu to enter officialdom, but he had a chivalrous heart to serve the country.
He could not bear to see the suffering of the people, so he vowed to study hard and hope to become an official in the court and become a good official who makes decisions for the people."
"He had a stubborn temper, and his subordinates had no choice but to let him take the merit examination.
The lower official thought he failed the exam, but unexpectedly he won the first prize.
Now that he is in the limelight, if the emperor knows that you and I are in contact, Mu Yu will definitely be killed.
Your Majesty, now there are senior officials and young ones below, and the lives of more than a dozen members of the family are on my shoulders. I really don’t dare to get involved in these things anymore. Please understand, Your Majesty."
He heard that Emperor Hongyuan did not want Mu Yu to win the first prize.
Unfortunately, Mu Yu was well-organized and knowledgeable. When discussing politics in the main hall, he surpassed other students by far and was praised by all the examiners.
Only then did Emperor Hongyuan, under pressure, select him as the number one scholar.
Although Mu Yu is now the number one scholar, he does not win the emperor's heart.
He was watched and guarded by the emperor, and every step he took was like walking on thin ice, with trepidation.
The risk of taking refuge in Prince Li is too great.
He has so many relatives to protect, how can he put his relatives in a whirlpool?
Even though he could see that Chu Xuanchen was a genius with a heart for the world, he did not dare to have anything to do with him.
