Unparalleled Concubine

"It's better not to have a wife."

Li Xin patted Mu Ying on the shoulder, and smiled: "The Mu family in southern Xinjiang was just waiting to die, but they couldn't get out. Your grandfather also wanted you to escape from the Mu family."

Having said that, Li Xin took another sip of water.

"When our work is done, maybe we can save the Mu family."

Chapter 285 What are the odds?

When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.

Conglong's contribution has always been the greatest contribution, none of them. In the emperor's heart, even the contribution of destroying the country is not as good as the contribution of helping him sit on the throne. This is inevitable.

The sky is big and the earth is big, and the throne is the biggest.

If the Seventh Prince successfully succeeds to the throne, Li Xin, Hou Jingde, including the entire Habayashi Guard generals, will follow the chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven. With this credit, at least they can guarantee wealth for the rest of their lives.

As for Mu Ying, she can also thrive in the capital and open up another Mu family.

This kind of investment is the biggest business in the world. If you win, you will have the opportunity to be princes for generations. If you lose, the whole family will die together.

However, Mu Ying had an advantage, even if he made a wrong bet, he would be killed alone. After all, the Mu family was originally a rebel, and the new emperor's majesty could not fall on the rebels.

Mu Ying took a deep breath and sighed: "It's a coincidence that we met, if you hadn't tied up my sister, I wouldn't have come all the way to the capital, but now I have decided my own destiny .”

After Li Xin rested for a while, his physical strength also recovered. He grinned and said, "The Mu family doesn't recognize you anymore. Can you still contact Li Xing?"

"it should be OK."

Mu Ying was silent for a while, and then said: "It's always not a problem to send letters to Nanjiang, but the problem is that Your Highness probably won't trust me anymore."

"It's good to be in touch."

Li Xin patted Mu Ying on the shoulder, and said with a chuckle, "These are all things to say. Right now, we must help His Royal Highness the King of Wei ascend the throne. Otherwise, you and I will both become unjust ghosts on Xishi Street."

Xishi Street is a place where ordinary people in the capital sell things, and it is also a place where criminals are executed. The reason why the place is set here is naturally to deter those ordinary people.

The reason why there is such a thing as punishment is that punishing the wicked is just a means, in essence, by punishing the wicked, the common people will not dare to do evil.

Mu Ying said in a muffled voice, "I'll just die. I'll die as you please. If you want me to do anything, just say it."

Li Xin gave him a blank look.

"You are willing to die, but I am not willing to die. Someone in your family is raising your sister. If I die, my sister will have no way out."

With that said, Li Xin stood up from the ground, patted the dust off his buttocks, and stretched his waist: "Okay, it's almost time, I'm going to get off work."

Except for the [-] people who go to the palace to work night shifts in the Habayashi Guard, the rest of the people can usually go back after sunset. Li Xin stayed in the Habayashi Guard for a day today, and now he is going to the Wei Palace to ask about the situation in the court.

Mu Ying lived at Li Xin's house, and when she heard the words, she gave Li Xin a look: "You don't go home after work."

Li Xin left in a cool way: "I ran for everyone's life."

........................

In Wei Wangfu.

Li Xin bowed his hands to His Royal Highness the King of Wei, and the Seventh Prince hurriedly led him into the quiet room, with many complaints in his words.

"Brother Xin, why didn't you come to my house after you came out of the palace yesterday? It caused me to wait for a long time."

What he wanted to wait was naturally not Li Xin, but to ask about Li Xin's situation in the palace.

Li Xin bowed his head and said: "After I left the palace, it was already night, and I couldn't bear to disturb His Highness, so I went back. As for today..."

"Your Highness should know the meaning of the imperial court."

The Seventh Prince said slowly: "That's right, there are already documents from Shangshutai, and those censors have been released. The matter is limited to Zhan Shi Tanggu in the East Palace, and the crown prince has not been involved at all."

He raised his head and looked at Li Xin: "Brother Xin, you were in the palace yesterday...did you see Father?"

"seen."

Li Xin's face was calm: "The document issued by Shangshutai today is basically what His Majesty meant."

The Seventh Prince's expression was a bit complicated: "With Father Emperor protecting him, Brother Da Huang didn't suffer the slightest damage. No matter who it is, it will be very difficult to find the big fault of Brother Da Huang."

Li Xin grinned: "Your Highness, I don't think so."

"After this incident, anyone with knowledge in the government and the public can see that His Royal Highness is... clumsy. At that time, more people will be disappointed in the East Palace. Besides, the fourth prince will never stop here. He is not afraid of thieves. If you steal it, you are afraid that the thief will miss it, and the prince will always be caught one day."

Having said that, Li Xin's face became serious.

"Your Highness, I have a few words to say to you."

His Royal Highness Wei Wang smiled: "There are no outsiders here, I believe you but say yes."

Li Xin looked solemn and lowered his voice: "Your Highness, when I met the Holy Spirit yesterday, I saw that His Majesty's energy and energy were mostly gone, and the doors and windows in the warm hall were closed. It's been a few months..."

Having said that, Li Xin looked up at His Royal Highness King Wei, and sighed: "Even faster..."

Discussing the life of the Son of Heaven in private is a great opportunity, even His Royal Highness King Wei also changed his face suddenly, got up and walked to the door of the room, dispersed the waiters and guards waiting at the door, and only after making sure that there was no one around, did he hurry up. He closed the doors and windows, sat in front of Li Xin again, and took a few deep breaths.

"What does Brother Xin mean?"

"I mean, Your Highness must be mentally prepared."

Li Xin said in a low voice, "Now the crown prince has a very low chance of succeeding to the throne. Your Highness must think clearly about what the Wei Palace will do after the crown prince is deposed."

Seeing that the seventh prince did not speak, Li Xin continued: "If His Highness becomes the prince, it will be much easier. We are just prepared to prevent the other two princes from overturning the situation. But if three or four princes become princes , we have to plan.”

His Royal Highness King Wei lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking, and finally said in a muffled voice, "What do you think, Brother Xin?"

Li Xinxin knocked on the table, and finally said: "Nowadays, no one can guess what His Majesty is thinking, so we must make all preparations."

"If the third prince becomes the crown prince, His Royal Highness will probably be safe, and we can make a long-term plan, but if it is the fourth prince..."

Li Xin squinted his eyes and said: "Judging from the way the Fourth Prince is doing today, if he succeeds in assuming the throne, no matter whether it is me, His Highness, or the concubine of the Wei Palace, he will not be able to escape that knife!"

"So, if the fourth prince becomes the prince, we can only fight hard and prepare for... a mutiny!"

The Seventh Prince's hands trembled slightly, and he calmed down after drinking several sips of tea.

"Brother Xin, what are the odds of winning if we have a mutiny?"

"Five percent."

Li Xin muffled: "With the Habayashi guards in hand, the Ye family will also be dragged into the water by us. The Ye family is flourishing in the army. If we are willing to support His Highness, we have at least a [-]% chance of winning."
