Lu Yurong left quietly, and the guards of Prince An's Mansion didn't even notice her.
Chu Li's martial arts improved by leaps and bounds, and Lu Yurong did not stand still. She worked hard and kept trying to catch up with Chu Li. Now her martial arts is far better than before, and the guards of Prince An's palace are not worth mentioning in front of her.
Chu Li sat in the pavilion and meditated.
He needs to think clearly about what he wants to do, and cannot just act on his own whim. He should help Prince Ping because he feels sorry for him, and regard the world as a smooth road. Once Prince Ping becomes the emperor, his old friendship may not be effective, but will become a source of disaster.
Although winning the heir is exciting and exciting, it is also full of dangers. One disadvantage is that he will be killed or even die without a burial place, and even the Duke's Palace and Akiye Temple will be implicated.
Since it is so dangerous, you should not make wedding clothes for others. No matter how good Prince Ping is, he is still just Prince Ping. You will not be able to influence Prince Ping in the future, and your efforts will never be proportional to your rewards.
The sound of footsteps sounded, and Xiao Qi, dressed in a white nightgown, walked in gently, looking light and graceful.
Chu Li raised his head and smiled at her.
Xiao Qi's disheveled hair was black and shiny, like black satin under the moonlight, and made her face look like white jade. Her bright eyes were clear: "Who is coming?"
"Lu Yurong." Chu Li said.
Xiao Qiming's eyes flashed.
Chu Li said with a smile: "She came to question me. Princess Ping's maid turned out to be a disciple of the Holy Sect of Light. Everyone outside has spread the rumor that Prince Ping has colluded with the Holy Sect of Light, and they wantonly destroyed Prince Ping. Lu Yurong suspects that I spread the rumor."
"Princess Ping's maid is actually a disciple of the Holy Sect of Light?" Xiao Qi was surprised.
She scanned the surroundings with her bright eyes and saw no one. She shook her head and said lightly: "It can't be true, can it? What is the Holy Sect of Light doing?"
She knew the identity of Chu Li and Zhao Dahe.
"Either assassination or snooping for information." Chu Li said: "Being able to hide for so long is considered a skill."
"You didn't recognize it?" Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li shook his head: "Maybe it wasn't a problem at that time... Lu Yurong is leaving the city of God."
"She's leaving?" Xiao Qi frowned and said, "Has the prince's matter been settled?"
Chu Li nodded slowly: "Prince Ping's affairs will help the emperor make up his mind and cut through the mess quickly. If we delay any longer, there will be even greater chaos!"
"In this way..." Xiao Qi sat opposite him and muttered: "That's a good thing."
Chu Li nodded.
Xiao Qi looked at him: "What's on your mind?"
"I'm thinking about seizing the throne." Chu Li frowned and muttered, "Should I participate or not?"
"You want to help Prince Ping?" Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li shook his head: "I want to help Xu'an."
Xiao Qi was startled, and then said: "Xu'an is a generation away, so I'm afraid there is no hope. There is still some hope for Prince Bang Ping, but the hope is not great. King Jing's situation is almost settled."
Everyone in the world knows that King Jing is the next emperor.
"It all depends on people." Chu Li smiled and said: "If King Jing and King Ping can't succeed, or even become king, then why can't it be Xu'an?"
"That's too difficult." Xiao Qi said: "And it's too dangerous. To win the throne is life and death. Do you really want to go against King Jing and King Ping?"
Chu Li shook his head: "Step by step, how can we find a way to complete it silently and without any fanfare."
"That's even harder." Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li smiled and said: "It's not difficult, but it's not boring. Living has some challenges to make it interesting. Otherwise, sitting in the house all day long would be too boring, and our lifespan would be long."
Xiao Qi said: "It's not easy for you to go against Lu Yurong. She is too shrewd."
Chu Li smiled: "It would be great if we could find a way to bring her over. If we join forces, our chances of winning will be greatly increased."
"It's actually very easy for you to win her over." Xiao Qi half-smiled.
Chu Li said: "What can I do?"
"You know." Xiao Qi showed a smile, as bright and dazzling as the first light after snow.
Chu Li laughed and said: "Haha, you will be jealous too!"
"This is not jealousy." Xiao Qi pursed her lips and smiled: "I don't believe she has no affection for you."
"You're really thinking wrong." Chu Li said.
Xiao Qi said: "No need to explain, I understand that you cherish each other, have similar minds, and are considered close friends."
Chu Li reached out to hold her over and let her sit on his lap, feeling the amazing elasticity of her legs and hips, and smelling the refreshing fragrance on her body: "With you here, how can I have such thoughts!"
Xiao Qi said: "You men have different natures from women. If you like one, you can also like the other at the same time."
Chu Li changed the topic and said with a smile: "Does the Duke's government have any ancestral teachings that prevent it from participating in the fight for the heir?"
Xiao Qi said: "There is no need for the Duke's Palace to do these things. It is thankless. No matter who is the emperor, the Duke's Palace will be the Duke's Palace. The emperor's palace will be built with iron!"
Chu Li said: "That's good, I decided to let Xu'an be the emperor."
"It's difficult." Xiao Qi said.
"It all depends on people." Chu Li said, "I don't want to make wedding clothes for others, but we can't rush this matter. We have to wait until Xu'an grows a few years older."
"The throne does not wait for anyone." Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li smiled and said: "Now let's muddy the water first and tell Prince Ping."
"Prince Ping also wants to seize the throne, how can he agree?" Xiao Qi frowned.
Chu Li said: "I understand King Ping's thoughts. He has no intention of becoming the emperor. He only wants revenge!"
"He won't pin the hope of revenge on you." Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li smiled: "I will try to convince him."
——
Early the next morning, Chu Li left Prince An's Mansion and appeared outside Prince Ping's Mansion.
After the guards of Prince Ping's Mansion passed the news, Chu Li entered the mansion. Prince Ping greeted him personally, and the two of them came to the lake in the back garden.
Chu Li saw that his face was calm and calm, not affected by the rumors.
The two of them sat in a small pavilion on the lake. After the maid who brought tea withdrew, Prince Ping said calmly: "You came here to comfort me, right?"
Chu Li shook his head: "This matter is of no importance. If nothing happens, the emperor will make Prince Jing the crown prince in the next two days."
Prince Ping nodded and looked at the sparkling lake quietly.
Chu Li said: "Your Majesty, I want Xu'an to fight for the throne."
Prince Ping was startled and turned to look at him in surprise.
Chu Li said: "I no longer want to be controlled by others and be bound by the emperor everywhere."
"You won't help me seize the throne?" Prince Ping said.
Chu Li sighed and said, "My lord, your chances of winning are too small."
He had never thought clearly before about why the emperor did not pass the throne to Prince Ping. He simply thought it was a personal preference. Now he gradually understands and understands the emperor's helplessness even more.
"Xu'an's chances of winning are even smaller, right?" Prince Ping frowned.
He was a little annoyed and felt betrayed. Chu Li was originally going to help him seize the throne.
Chu Li sighed: "Although Xu'an is young, he has a greater hope of succeeding to the throne than you, the prince. If the emperor really wanted you to inherit the throne, he would not insist on establishing King Jing for so many years. Speaking of his contribution to Daji,
Prince Jing is far behind you. When it comes to the relationship between father and son, the Emperor likes you more."
Prince Ping frowned and nodded.
Chu Li said: "You should also know the emperor's concerns."
"Alas..." Prince Ping sighed, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Xu'an is not like that." Chu Li said with a smile: "The Buddhist disciples of the Vajra Temple are mellow and agile, and will not have much resistance to the existence of the master. Inaction is the best for Daji."
Prince Ping said: "But Xu'an is a generation behind him, and he has no advantage compared to his sixth brother."
Chu Li said calmly: "If Xu'an can get your support, Prince Jing, he will have an advantage over Prince Jing."
