Chapter 86 A Man of Many Clever Thoughts
After careful consideration, it does seem to have some feasibility.
However, whenever the image of that dynasty falling into war on all sides, officials in the court scheming against each other and deceiving each other, and countless refugees outside the court appears in my mind, I am filled with a sense of unease.
If I were to become emperor, I would not only have to worry about the daily lives and affairs of those people, but I would also have to outwit and outmaneuver those officials.
Most importantly, he had to spend a lot of money to repair the dilapidated houses of homeless refugees, which was really hard to resist.
How could I so easily give away the money that I had painstakingly saved up to others to squander?
This feeling is even more painful than having your own heart ripped out.
Mu Yuhe is really too shrewd. He actually wants to dump such a heavy burden and trouble on her. It's really infuriating.
"Never mind, never mind, just give me anything valuable. There's a secret room under that palace ahead with a corpse inside, but I'm not sure if it's your father's. I'll go check if the Fourth Prince has woken up yet. I'm off." Su Yue muttered to herself as she ran off like the wind.
He secretly rejoiced that he had escaped in time. If the other party had insisted on throwing such a heavy burden at him, he would have been drained of his last bit of strength!
This dynasty is beyond saving unless all the princes stop fighting amongst themselves and unite.
It's impossible to think about it; there's only one seat available, but everyone wants to sit in it.
Upon hearing the news, Mu Yuhe disregarded Su Yue's escape and, finding his men, rushed to the place Su Yue had described.
Su Yue jogged back to the room where the Fourth Prince was lying, patting her chest to catch her breath.
She was still cursing him in her heart. This Mu Yuhe was such a scoundrel. He even tried to scheme against her. She had come all this way to help him. Humph, she had really misjudged him.
If Su Yue knew that she had misunderstood, she would be even angrier than she is now, and she would probably twist Mu Yuhe's head off.
When Mo Liu saw Su Yue enter with a pale face, he assumed someone had bullied her, completely forgetting that her skills were even better than his own.
They were still there, worriedly trying to ask what had happened.
"What happened? Why are you running so fast? Did someone bully you? Tell me who bullied you, and I'll go and fight back for you."
Su Yue could tell that Mo Liu's nervousness wasn't feigned, so she wanted to tease him, "If I tell you, will you help me fight back?"
Mo Liu was so anxious that he thought she had really been bullied, and his eyes were practically spitting fire.
"Of course, tell me quickly." Mo Liu hurriedly grabbed Su Yue's arm, wanting her to take him to find someone.
Su Yue suppressed her laughter and deliberately put on a stern face, saying, "Alright then, it was Mu Yuhe who bullied me. Go and beat him up for me."
Upon hearing this, the anger in Mo Liu's eyes immediately subsided.
Mo Liu was eager to stand up for Su Yue, but when he heard that Mu Yuhe had bullied her, the anger in his eyes seemed to be instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water.
He stood there, stunned, his expression shifting from anxiety to confusion, mixed with a hint of helplessness.
Seeing Mo Liu's reaction, Su Yue found it amusing and decided not to tease him anymore. She said softly, "Okay, don't be angry. I was just joking with you."
He went to the bedside, looked at Mu Yulin who was still unconscious, and fed him some spiritual spring water.
He sat down at a table to the side and said, "Mo Liu, I'm going back now."
Mo Liu was taken aback, thinking he had misheard. "You're leaving? Where are you going?"
"Of course I'm going back to where I came from! I've been out for many days, and your master asked me to come and treat the old emperor, but now that the old emperor is gone, my mission is complete." Su Yue took out two peaches from her spatial storage, ate one herself, and tossed the other to Mo Liu, who was standing to the side.
Mo Liu thought for a while and felt that Su Yue was right. Things were probably going to get even more chaotic here soon. When the other princes returned, the entire capital might be a hell on earth.
Now is the best time to leave. This girl is still a child; she shouldn't stay.
"When are you leaving?" Mo Liu looked at the fresh peach in his hand, and could smell the aroma of peaches. His mouth watered.
Watching Su Yue eat with relish, he took a bite himself. The peach juice filled his mouth; he had never tasted such a delicious peach before.
"Let's do it first thing tomorrow morning," Su Yue said, munching on a peach, her words somewhat unclear.
Mo Liu nodded, feeling a little disappointed. He knew Su Yue would leave sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. However, he also understood that this wasn't the place for her.
Su Yue didn't leave her room once until nightfall, and Mu Yulin, who was lying on the bed, also woke up.
"Cough cough, someone, water, I want to drink water." When Mu Yuhe slowly opened his eyes, he felt a slight pain in his abdomen. He couldn't help but feel a little worried, so he carefully dared not move around, for fear of aggravating his wound.
At the same time, his throat was extremely dry, as if it were being burned by fire, and he could only call out softly in a hoarse voice.
Hearing that the person had woken up, Mo Liu ran over, helped her up, and asked, "Miss Su, can he drink water now?"
Su Yue nodded. She had given him so much spiritual spring water for nothing. If he didn't wake up soon, she would start to suspect that the spiritual spring water had lost its effectiveness.
While feeding Mu Yulin water, Mo Liu instructed the people outside the door to inform Mu Yuhe that he had woken up.
Mu Yuhe was overjoyed to hear the news. Now everything was ready, and all that was needed was the final push.
This person has also woken up. He needs to quickly secure this position and not give his younger brothers a chance.
The Emperor's body has been found. Once the news is spread, the remaining brothers will all return to the capital to pay their respects.
We need to prepare quickly during this time, and capture the person as soon as they return.
Mu Yuhe's steps became much lighter. By the time he arrived at the room where Mu Yulin was lying, Mu Yulin had just finished eating and was about to lie down to rest.
"Fourth brother, how are you feeling? Is there anything else that's bothering you?" Mu Yuhe asked with some concern, looking at the pale-faced man.
"It's alright. How did you do with what I asked you to do?" Mu Yulin covered his injured area again and slowly sat up.
"Don't move yet. Things are almost done. The most important thing is for you to recover from your injuries. Miss Su is here. Let her take a good look at you." Mu Yuhe pressed Mu Yulin, who had just gotten up, back down onto the bed.
He then turned to Su Yue and asked, "Miss Su, how is my fourth brother's injury?"
Su Yue had no intention of paying any attention to this person. She had initially thought he was a good person, but she hadn't expected that a child raised in the palace would be so cunning.
