The eldest princess made this decision after careful consideration. Compared to Yan Jingxuan, she felt that the prince was the most suitable one. At least the prince would take into account the kindness she expressed to her today when he ascends the throne.
That's why she took the risk to come here and tell His Majesty Yuan Qirui his secret, which also means that from now on, she will be a member of the prince's party.
Yuan Qirui was shocked for a while before he came back to his senses. His eyes narrowed slightly and his heart was filled with confusion. It turned out that both the Yan family and the Han family had underestimated His Majesty.
If it weren't for the eldest princess, he would probably die without knowing that he was actually a chess piece.
But why, since they are both the sons of their father, why can Yan Jingxuan, the illegitimate son, do it, but not him?
At this moment, Yuan Qirui's heart was filled with resentment, and the remaining reverence he had for his father disappeared.
He stood up and looked at the eldest princess deeply: "Thank you aunt for telling me. If my nephew is lucky enough to win this big position, he will definitely live up to my aunt's great kindness today."
What the eldest princess wanted was his words. She helped Yuan Qirui up, patted his hand and said: "I watched you grow up, and your mother has always been very good to me. I can't bear to have you always."
Hidden in the bones.
It’s just that this matter is not trivial, but you must handle it carefully, and don’t let the matter fall into the trap and anger His Majesty, otherwise no one can save you.”
Yuan Qinrui nodded. Getting rid of Yan Jingxuan was the top priority right now, and he had to do it without revealing anything and leaving no clues.
No matter what, he is bound to win this throne!
...
Three days later.
Good news came from Tianmen County. Mu Rufeng, who had been in a coma for a long time, woke up.
It was his wife Xin Ruyi who cured him. After Mu Rufeng regained consciousness, he set off for the south. However, his condition was not yet stable, so Xin Ruyi went with him to ensure that nothing happened.
When the news reached the capital, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Only Yuan Hao held the letter from Mu Rufeng and didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.
But things are already like this. What he can do is to control the children of the Mu family who stay in the capital, so that Mu Rufeng does not dare to act rashly!
At this time, a carriage was parked outside the door of the General's Mansion.
Yan Jingxuan was wearing a rich brocade robe, leaning on the carriage a little carelessly, holding a piece of grass in his mouth as if he was waiting for someone.
Not long after, Mu Yun'an came out with Hong Yu. She was wearing a riding outfit today, her hair was simply combed into a bun and she didn't wear any accessories. At first glance, she looked like a powerful general.
Yan Jingxuan's eyes lit up when he saw her, and he quickly walked up to her and looked her over, saying, "Little Pepper, I didn't expect you to look pretty dressed like this."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the person behind Mu Yun'an, his expression changed involuntarily, he laughed twice and asked: "Xiao...Brother Xiao, are you going too?"
Today he took Mu Yun'an out of the city to ride horses as promised.
Xiao Chengyi glanced at him coldly and said: "If Yan Yan comes back, you should know the consequences!"
Yan Jingxuan: "..."
He curled his lips and cupped his hands towards him: "Yes, brother Xiao, don't worry, I will definitely send Yan Yan back to you intact."
Xiao Chengyi did not say a word, but turned to look at Mu Yun'an and warned: "Be careful and come back soon."
Mu Yunan lowered his eyes and nodded, then turned around and got on the carriage, while Jingxuan got on the horse and waved goodbye to Xiao Chengyi.
The carriage slowly walked towards the outside of the city.
On the way, Yan Jingxuan opened the curtain and handed in a paper bag. It was the snacks he had bought when he was in the city.
