Mu Qingge smiled and said: "Fat man, I didn't expect you to have such a consciousness. However, I came to see the princess off just because I care about our former friendship. I don't treat her as you think."
"Boss, you don't have to hide it from me." Fatty Shao didn't believe it.
The explanation didn't make sense, and Mu Qingge didn't bother to waste any more words.
She looked towards the official road at the foot of the mountain, and saw that only the tail of the long queue was left. Qin Yiyao's chariot has already disappeared.
"who!"
Suddenly, the guard guarding outside the Octagonal Pavilion issued a warning.
Mu Qingge and Fatty Shao turned around and saw a tall and ethereal figure floating towards them.
Cueing the guards to retreat, Mu Qingge watched the visitor walk into the octagonal pavilion.
"Fat man, wait for me outside first." Mu Qingge looked at the person coming and ordered Fatty Shao.
Without saying anything, Fatty Shao retreated.
Mu Qingge and him were the only two people left in the pavilion.
She curled her lips and said with a smile: "Today is such a good day that the wise king, who lives a simple life and is weak, comes to climb the mountain."
"I'm here to see off my old friend." Qin Jinchen said calmly. The clear black and white eyes were still calm without a trace of ripples.
Mu Qingge knew who the old friend he mentioned was without asking.
She smiled slightly, lowered her eyes and said, "In that case, I won't delay the wise king."
After saying that, she was ready to leave the Bajiao Pavilion.
However, as soon as she left, Qin Jinchen suddenly said: "Are you ready to take action?"
Mu Qingge paused and smiled meaningfully: "It's not that I want to take action, but someone can't help it. I'm just adhering to the Mu family's tradition of being loyal to the emperor and patriotic."
"I will not sit in that ruthless and unjust position." Qin Jinchen expressed his mentality again.
Mu Qingge turned around and looked at him indifferently: "What you choose is your business. I just eliminate all factors that are unstable to the Mu family. Anyone can sit in this world, as long as you don't mess with the Mu family."
"Has anyone ever said that you are arrogant?" Qin Jinchen looked at her and asked.
Mu Qingge curled her lips indifferently: "So what?"
The arrogant answer and the wild eyes...
Qin Jinchen lowered his eyes and said calmly: "If I don't take action..."
"I never took you into consideration in my plan." Mu Qingge glanced at him, interrupting Qin Jinchen's words with indifference in her eyes.
A wry smile flashed across Qin Jinchen's lips.
He seemed to realize Mu Qingge's intention.
Neither King Rui nor the Crown Prince would treat the Mu family well, so she let them bite each other and lead to destruction together. After all, it really doesn't matter who will sit in that seat.
As she said, as long as he is someone who doesn't regard Mu Jia as a thorn in his side.
So - in her heart, is she the most suitable person? Qin Jinchen didn't know whether he should feel honored, but he knew clearly that this time, he would disappoint her.
Because he promised Concubine Yun, his adoptive mother, that he would never fight for that seat, let alone sit in that seat.
Slowly raising his eyes, Qin Jinchen saw no one in front of him.
The dazzling red cloud had long gone away and was nowhere to be found.
There was a trace of trance in his eyes, he pursed his lips, and turned to leave.
…
The day after the Tuguo envoy and the princess's wedding party left Luodu, news came out that Emperor Qin was sick with longing for his daughter and was bedridden.
Mu Qingge was invited to Prince Rui's Mansion by Qin Jinhao, and it seemed that he couldn't wait any longer.
"My father suddenly fell seriously ill, but the queen controlled the palace gates and did not allow us, the princes who established the palace, to go back to visit. Even my mother and concubine were secretly on guard. I think my father's illness this time must be related to the Korean clan. Qing Qing Ge, please analyze it, is it because the Korean family can't bear it any longer?" Qin Jinhao told Mu Qingge sincerely as soon as they met.
