Live up to the breeze and the bright moon

The next day, Li Yu went straight back to the mansion after morning court, and immediately called Wu Rui and Wu Ming to the study.

"Wu Ming, last time I asked you to find out who informed Princess Ruyang of King Ruyang's arrival on New Year's Eve. How did the investigation go?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the subordinates only found out that the person who reported to Princess Ruyang was a member of King Huaiyang, but there is no clue as to who in the mansion passed the news to King Huaiyang."

"It's King Huaiyang again..." Li Yu frowned.He has tried his best to stay away from the struggle for power in the palace, but there are always people trying to force him, pushing him from the edge to the center, Li Yu doesn't like this feeling very much. "Wu Ming, you are going to find out whether King Huaiyang and Princess Qianyang have contacts recently. In addition, send someone to protect my words."

"Yes." Wu Ming didn't ask much, and went out after taking orders.

"Your Highness, do you suspect that the princess was ordered by King Huaiyang to speak against me?" Wu Rui didn't know what happened, which made His Highness look extremely nervous.

"I'm not sure yet. But Qianyang did know about my words and my words. I feel that Qianyang might not tolerate my words." Li Yu didn't shy away from these things in front of Wu Rui, and Wu Rui had followed him since he was a child. Around me, there is something about me that Wu Rui doesn't know.

"What is your Highness planning to do?"

"What do you think this king should do?" To be honest, Li Yu was also confused, and he wanted to hear Wu Rui's suggestions.

Wu Rui thought about it, and decided to tell Li Yu what he really wanted in his heart, even though Li Yu might not like to hear it, "Your Majesty knows that His Highness has never been willing to participate in the court's schemes, nor is he interested in the power of the throne. However, now Your Highness should be very clear about the situation. Many people feel threatened by your marriage with the princess. Even if His Highness still wants to avoid everything and compromise in everything, others may not let His Highness go; even if the throne is worthless to His Highness , How can His Highness ensure that the King and Princess of Qi do not want a future successor?! Not to mention the future throne and successor, but the present, Your Highness, you have also seen that you have no power in your hands, even the one you love It cannot be preserved. Others will not attack His Highness directly, but they can attack My Words. My Words have become a tool for others to deal with you. Just imagine, Your Highness, once something happens to My Words, the blow to His Highness will be fatal. How can others Will let go of such a useful tool."

Wu Rui watched Li Yu gradually fall into painful emotions following his words, and he felt the same way.He grew up with Li Yu and experienced all kinds of things together. How could he not understand Li Yu's thoughts and pain.Li Yu is always careful and forbearing, I don't know how many grievances he has suffered, but he still refuses to pursue power. It is not because Li Yu is cowardly and timid, but because there are many things in Li Yu's heart that are as heavy as a mountain, the remaining friendship under those cold palace walls , the rare love under those indifferent relatives.

Thinking of this, Wu Rui resolutely kowtowed to Li Yu, knelt in front of Li Yu, and piously asked, "Your Majesty, please don't shrink back! Back then, because your mother was patient and aloof from the world, she not only lost The Emperor's beloved died early, leaving you helpless as a young Highness. Now Your Highness can't repeat the same mistakes, even for my words, and for your own sake, please give it a go! Your Highness is willing to be His Highness for the rest of your life Overcome the thorns and thorns, and die!"

Li Yu already had tears streaming from his eyes, "You said, why doesn't this king know?! But do you know that if this king decides to participate in the power struggle between the ruling and the opposition, and put all his energy on the high dragon chair, this Wang will lose a lot of things that I have always cherished, things that make me feel warm and that make me feel alive."

Wu Rui was still kneeling, emotionally, and said the words that broke all Li Yu's illusions, "Does Your Highness think that you still have a choice now?!"

······

Princess Qianyang arrived at the Department of Internal Affairs early, but did not wait for Li Yu to come. Today is the day when the Queen ordered the two to go to the Department of Internal Affairs to choose the style of wedding auspicious clothes.Sitting bored, Anyang Wang Li Cheng walked in suddenly.

"The princess is safe and sound." Li Cheng smiled at Qian Yang.

Qian Yang was taken aback, and quickly got up to return the salute, "Qian Yang has met His Royal Highness King Anyang."

"We'll be a family soon. You don't need to be so distinguished. Just call me the second elder brother like the ninth brother." Li Cheng found a seat and sat down. "Siblings and sisters don't need to be cautious, please sit down." He motioned Qianyang to sit down.

"Second brother wait a moment, Brother Yu should be here soon." Qian Yang and Li Cheng were not familiar with each other, so it would be embarrassing to be in the same room suddenly.

"No, this king is here to find his younger siblings."

"Looking for me?" Qian Yang didn't know why.

"That's right, I won't play around. The younger brothers and sisters should know about the ninth brother and the servant in the house, right?"

Qian Yang didn't expect that even the king of Anyang knew about this matter, could the emperor also know about it?Although she threatened Li Yu with her father, she just wanted to force Li Yu to settle the matter according to her own wishes. She didn't want this matter to really cause Li Yu any trouble, after all, Li Yu would be her husband .

Seeing Qian Yang's uneasy expression, Li Cheng hurriedly said, "Don't worry, brother and sister, no one knows about this except this king."

Qian Yang breathed a sigh of relief half-believingly, but she still planned to listen to King Anyang's intention before speaking, "Your Highness, please continue."

"King Huaiyang should have told his siblings about the matter of the ninth brother and the servant. The younger brothers and sisters should know that the ninth brother belongs to me, and my father intends to make me the crown prince, and Huaiyang King is also relying on his father's favor." I intend to seek the position of the crown prince. So my siblings know why King Huaiyang told you about this, right? You married the ninth brother, and the country of Qi became the backing of the ninth brother, and the ninth brother has always supported me. It is bound to be a big disadvantage. So he must separate you and the ninth brother, and it is best not to let you get married. Therefore, younger brothers and sisters must not be fooled by King Huaiyang, and must not create a quarrel with the ninth brother."

Listening to Li Cheng's analysis, Qian Yang thought about it for a reason, "However, this matter is not fabricated by Huaiyang King out of thin air. Even if I am not alienated by him, brother Yu may really have some affair with that servant. Could it be Do you want me to turn a blind eye and let that little servant harm Brother Yu under my nose?"

"Don't worry, younger brothers and sisters. This king knows that this matter is not groundless. I came here today to discuss this matter with my younger siblings. This king understands that it is inconvenient for my younger siblings to deal with the servant because of their relationship with the ninth brother. I might as well let this king do it for me. As long as the younger siblings If I don't tell the king, the ninth brother will not know that it was the king who did it, how about pulling out the thorn in the eyes of the younger brother and sister, and not making the younger brother and sister unjust?"

The plan proposed by King Anyang is very attractive, Qian Yang smiled, "What does Second Brother want in return?"

"Hahaha, she is indeed the daughter of the King of Qi, she is smart." Li Cheng is very satisfied that Qianyang has a tacit understanding in making deals with him, "The ninth younger brother has never been good at power struggles, and it will not be of much use for Qi to support him in the future. Since Ninth brother supports this king, so this king hopes that Qi country will become my backing." Li Cheng waited for Qian Yang to give him an answer after finishing speaking.

I knew that King Anyang would not be so kind to help her, but even though elder brother Yu disdained the throne, both my father and myself hoped to help him succeed to the throne. In the future, we would definitely oppose this King of Anyang, but there is no loss if we make a verbal promise now. , It’s not impossible to go back on your word if the situation changes in the future, power struggles are like this, “Okay, Qianyang promises to the second brother.”

Li Cheng has already guessed Qian Yang's thoughts, "Sisters and sisters don't have to think about changing their minds in the future, this king knows Jiudi best, even if you hand over the throne, he won't take it."

Qian Yang's thoughts were seen through by Li Cheng, and he hurriedly covered it up, "Second brother was joking, Qian Yang will never break his promise."

"That's the best. In this case, younger brothers and sisters can wait for the wedding gift from the second brother."
