C28 Chapter 28

"Messenger, please!" Mu Yi took a step back to the right, and the messenger chuckled a few times before handing the things back to the servant. He returned to the carriage and waited for a place to rest.

"Let's go!" Mu Yi pulled on the reins, and the tall horse raised its front hooves and started to run forward. The people behind him also pulled on the reins and followed Mu Yi.

"Ah! Look at how handsome Sixth Prince is!"

"That's right! He's really handsome! Especially when he mounted the horse!"

"Recently, isn't the Empress selecting a concubine for the Sixth Prince? Did you hand over the portrait?"

"I did. I wonder who the Empress will choose to enter the palace."

The women below discussed in low voices. Mu Yuan heard the movement of his ears and frowned even more. But after a while, he relaxed his brows. Mu Yi had reached the age where he should have concubines.

It was just that there was some selfishness in choosing the Imperial Concubine at this time. If he could make the two countries on good terms just because Mu Yi married a princess of another country, then Mu Yi would be even more favored by the Emperor!

"Recently, I've received some information that Mu Yi seems to be raising a private army. There's no way that the Emperor doesn't know about the information that even I can obtain." Hearing Zhang Xinran's words, Mu Yuan did not say anything. He just took a piece of cake and put it in his mouth before nodding.

Hmm, not bad. The pastry tasted the same as when he left. It melted in his mouth. Although it was sweet, it wasn't greasy.

"The emperor naturally knows. The information was released by the emperor to cause internal strife among the princes." The man in blue sitting beside Mu Yuan waved his fan and curled his lips.

"Since the Emperor thinks so highly of the Sixth Prince, why did he still do this?" Zhang Xinran did not understand what Lin Xia meant.

Linxia looked at Zhang Xinran with disdain. "Although the Emperor thinks highly of Mu Yi, the position of the Emperor is not something that the Emperor can take just because he likes someone!" At this point, Linxia's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"The Emperor wants to test Mu Yi?" "That's right. Since he is going to be the Emperor, then it is impossible for him to even have the most basic ability to deal with sudden accidents." At this time, Zhang Xinran finally came to a realization.

"It's just that I don't know who will be the first bird." "Mu Xiang." Mu Yuan licked his lips and looked like the people outside who had already dispersed felt that this was actually not bad. They didn't want to fight for the throne.

"I don't think it's Crown Prince, it should be the Fifth Prince, Mu Zhaoxiang!" "Although the Fifth Prince is stupid, with her mother-in-law Jing'er blocking the way, he probably won't be able to cause much of a commotion. On the contrary, Mu Xiang is not in the Emperor's heart right now, and after the birthday celebration, he should be sent to guard the imperial mausoleum. He should take a gamble!"

"But after all, the Emperor's birthday is coming up. Mu Xiang wouldn't be stupid to this extent, would he?" Zhang Xinran felt that what Linxia said made some sense, but he had also seen the Crown Prince before. Although he was thin, he gave off a treacherous feeling. Zhang Xinran felt that Mu Xiang wouldn't be so reckless.

"In a few more days, I will make the Emperor's birthday the anniversary of his death in the coming year!" He didn't know if it was Linxia's eyes playing tricks on him, but he felt that when Mu Yuan said this, his deep eyes flashed with a trace of scarlet. It was terrifying!

"But... Isn't Your Highness on good terms with the Sixth Prince?" "That's right, it's not bad!" Mu Yuan muttered, "I'll go back first today. You guys should think about what to do for the Emperor's birthday!" Seeing Mu Yuan stand up, Linxia and Zhang Xinran also stood up. When they heard Mu Yuan's words, they lowered their heads and agreed.

"Your Highness, did you embarrass the ambassador just now? I saw that the ambassador's face was gloomy," Mu Yi leaned against the cushion and replied absent-mindedly.

When he saw Mu Yuan, he sneered at him from upstairs. At that moment, Mu Yi felt as if all the blood in his body had frozen. He thought that the last time they met would be in the palace. When the Emperor summoned the princes, he didn't expect to meet them like this, even though the two of them didn't speak.

"I've already given him enough face. It's just a small country on an island, and he just kissed Jing'er. It's not his turn to behave atrociously here!" After saying that, Mu Yi suddenly remembered that the Emperor had recently spread the news of him raising his own private army.

Was the Emperor doing this to test him or to get rid of him? Mu Yi did not know. After all, he was not a member of this dynasty, and he did not belong here!

After hiding for so many years, could it be that the Emperor had discovered it? However, Mu Yi guessed that if he was discovered, with the old Emperor's swift and decisive personality, he would not dawdle like this. Doing so would instead leave behind a disaster.

If he wanted to test him, then the "weight" of this test was not small!

If he didn't deal with it well, he would be doomed forever. Besides, he was going to die soon. Did he really want Ye Xiao to be defeated so that he could raise the other princes?

However, no matter how well he handled the situation, it would leave a bad reputation for the people. It didn't seem like something the old king would do.

This gave Mu Yi a headache, but it was true that the news came from the emperor's own organization, but as for whether or not it was ordered by the emperor, Mu Yi had no way of knowing.

After all, the Emperor and Empress had raised him for decades. The kitten and the puppy knew how to repay favors, and Mu Yi had feelings for them as well. If it weren't for the fact that he had no other choice, Mu Yi wouldn't have thought it was impossible to keep them in the dark room of the harem.

But Mu Yi was also a vengeful person. If the news was really released by the emperor, then Mu Yi would not be able to guarantee that the emperor would not be the current emperor after the birthday celebration.

"Your Highness, are we going to the palace or?" "Let's go back to the palace. I don't feel comfortable." "Yes!"

Although Mu Yi's body was normally not affected by illnesses like a cold, if he was ill, it would definitely be a serious illness.

Mu Yi had been busy meeting hours these past few days, and his meals had not been eaten on time. Sometimes he had to starve all day. Furthermore, the weather was not warm recently, and Mu Yi did not have any protection from the cold, so how could he not be sick?

"Your Highness, Your Highness, we're here!" Guo looked at the unhealthy crimson color on both sides of Mu Yi's face and became a little anxious, "Your Highness, Your Highness, wake up, don't scare Guo!"

"What are you making so much noise for?!" "Your Highness, Guo, go and call the imperial physician." Mu Yi handed his hand over to Guo, "Just help me in, don't call the imperial physician." When Guo heard this, he felt uneasy.

"You go find him. Forget it, you can go down now." Mu Yi wanted to ask Guo to find Mu Yuan, but then he thought about how Mu Yuan was probably avoiding him like a ferocious beast right now.

"Your Highness, you, Guo, are afraid. It's better to call the imperial physician!" Guo looked at Mu Yi's weak appearance and was afraid that Mu Yi would not be able to survive this illness. If that happened, he would have sinned greatly!

Mu Yi did not have the strength nor did he feel comfortable. He simply did not want to bother with Guo, this young man who loved to think.

There was no way His Highness wouldn't let him find the imperial physician, and Guo didn't dare to act on his own. He could only stand by the bed and stare at Mu Yi in grievance.

...

"Has Mu Yi entered the palace?" "Reporting to Your Highness, he did not enter the palace and return to the palace." Mm, you may leave." The kneeling man suddenly remembered the way Mu Yi looked when he got off the carriage, and suddenly said complacently, "Your Highness, I think Sixth Prince was a little weak when he got off the carriage. This is a good time!" Mu Yuan squinted his eyes, "You didn't go to find the imperial physician?" "Reporting to Your Highness, I didn't see anyone leave the residence!" Hehe, alright, you can leave now!"

Mu Yuan felt a little better when he heard this. This was a good opportunity! The fact that Mu Yi had been welcoming ambassadors on behalf of the dynasty in the past few days had probably made the eyes of the princes turn red. They wished that they could send someone to stick to Mu Yi's body and monitor him, just to catch Mu Yi's tail!

But now! Even if Mu Yi died in the next few days, there would be a reasonable explanation. He died of illness! Compared to Mu Yi's situation, the citizens of the Hundred Officials Dynasty all knew about it!

Tonight, there would be a new trap, A Battle for A Lifetime. I hope everyone likes it!
