Finally one day, something happened while playing.
Muzi accidentally burned down a palace in the Yeting Palace when he was grilling meat. The emperor was furious and ordered Muzi to kneel outside the palace to think for three days. No one was allowed to help him. He thought that This would make Mu Zi change his naughty temperament, and he didn't want to think about it. Less than three days had passed since the incident, and Mu Zi was back to his old ways, and this time the situation was more serious than the last time, and two palaces were burned down.
In anger, the emperor threw Mu Zi to Li Pushe, who was known for his strictness, hoping that he would properly discipline this naughty prince for him.
In Li Pushe's house, Mu Zi not only met his younger brother Mu Zhaozhang who was studying here, but also met Li Pushe's daughter Li Yingrong.
The next story is bloody. Mu Zi and Mu Zhaochu fell in love with Li Yingrong at the same time. Both of them once said that they would not marry anyone other than Li Yingrong. However, Li Yingrong did not like Mu Zi. She loved Mu Zhaochu. People even made a private decision for life.[
After Muzi learned this fact, he returned to the palace sadly and lived a life of drunkenness and dreams. His whole body instantly aged several dozen years. The emperor was shocked when he saw his decadent appearance.
The emperor was very anxious about this matter, so he followed the eunuch's advice and ordered numerous beauties to be given to Mu Zi. However, Mu Zi was not only indifferent, but even gave up on himself.
The emperor had no choice but to privately summon Mu Zhaochu to the Manlu Palace (where the emperor handled political affairs) and talk deeply all night. Although he didn't know what the emperor talked about with the third prince Mu Zhaochu, things happened the next day. There was a dramatic change. On the one hand, the emperor transferred the third prince Mu Zhaochu to the frontier to garrison. On the other hand, he decreed a marriage and promised Li Yingrong to Mu Zi, so that the two of them would get married on the day when the third prince set off for the frontier.
Li Yingrong naturally refused, but because of the lives of her family, she had to put on a wedding dress and marry Mu Zi.
Everyone thought that the matter would end happily here, but it was not the case. On the wedding night, Li Yingrong actually pulled out a sword from her sleeve and stabbed Mu Zi in the chest without hesitation.
…
Hearing this, Qiucao couldn't help but wonder, "Isn't it a capital crime to assassinate the prince? Why is it that Li... I am alive and well and nothing is wrong at all?"
Chu Lan glanced at her and said, "That's because King Mu knelt outside the Manlu Palace all day and night with his injuries, and begged His Majesty to pardon the Princess."
