C102

Dongfang Zhi silently stood to the side, neither speaking nor stopping her. He knew that what Dongfang Ze needed the most right now was to vent.

When the blood covered the back of his hand, Dongfang Ze finally stopped. He, who was always in high spirits, was now surrounded by helplessness and depression. It made his heart ache.

"Brother Seven, what should I do?"

Dongfang Yi patted his shoulder and comforted him, "It's fine. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, Seventh Brother is here."

"I know Seventh Brother is good to me, but …" "I hate the thought of Dongfang Cong. Seventh Brother, I'd rather sit on the Cheng De Palace seat because of you. That way, I'd kowtow and be willing to do the kowtowing."

"Don't talk nonsense!" He had never once thought of meddling in the imperial throne of the Great Zhou.

Dongfang Ze sneered. He shook his head and said, "Apart from birth, in terms of military merits, in terms of character, and ability, Seventh Brother, you aren't inferior to him in any way."

Mu Qianxue walked in front of him and said with lowered eyes, "As long as there is green mountain and no firewood, there will be no fear. As long as the nine kings have the determination, they might not fail to achieve their goals."

Dongfang Ze raised his head in a daze. That pair of limpid eyes were as deep as a lake, making him almost lose himself in it. Only after a long time did he regain his senses and ask with a trembling voice, "Really?"

"Although the deed is done in heaven, the conspiracy is planned by others. No one knows whether they will win or lose unless they reach that point. Therefore, the nine kings need not be so desperate!"

For some reason, although he was clearly a weak, weak, and weak woman, Dongfang Ze believed everything she said without reservation. He didn't know why, but he believed every word he said.

He propped himself up from the ground. Although his hands were still bleeding, his emotions had calmed down a lot and he was no longer as agitated as before.

After wiping her face, he took a deep breath and nodded: "I understand what you mean, Princess. Alright, I promise you that we won't cause any trouble for Dongfang Ru for the time being."

Dongfang Zexuan let out a long sigh of relief when he heard these words. He was truly afraid that he wouldn't be able to suppress Dongfang Ze's stubbornness and commit acts of fratricidal brotherhood.

Dongfang Ze frowned and said awkwardly, "But when I stopped, it would be tantamount to betraying my contract with the Easterners. I'm afraid they won't let this go."

"I know. As for the people from the East Peak, Ninth Prince, you stay safe for now. Tomorrow, I will go with the Prince to persuade him. You don't have to worry too much about that."

Dongfang Ze nodded. "Fine, I'll go back first and wait for your news tomorrow."

After Dongfang Ze left, Mu Qianxue faintly smiled. She looked at Dongfang Qing, who had been looking at her since just now, and asked, "Your highness has something to ask Qianxue?"

"Yes." Dongfang Qin's face was abnormally grave. "The princess just said those words to Ol 'Nine. Don't tell me you're planning on helping him seize that position in the Cheng De Palace?"

"And if I say yes?"

Dongfang Shou stared at her for a moment before saying solemnly, "Regardless of what royal brother and mother have done, in the end, they are not traitorous or evil people. Furthermore, royal brother's rule is clear, and everything must be related.

"At this point, are you still interested in Emperor Zhou?"

Dongfang Qin was silent for a long time before saying, "In the end, they are still my elders and brothers. Moreover, once Ninth Brother seizes the throne, there will definitely be internal strife in the Great Zhou. At that time, Dong Ling and the Qi Kingdom will take advantage of the internal instability and enter our internal affairs, and the century-old foundation of the Great Zhou will be destroyed.

As he spoke, Mu Qianxue's smile had always been shallow, and it was impossible to see what she was thinking in her heart, "So, even if I lose everyone's lives, I still can't do this right?"

Dongfang Bing heard that something wasn't right, and he raised his eyebrows. "What does that mean?"

"I've heard that before Emperor Cheng passed away, other than Emperor Zhou, I've also summoned four other princes, right?"

"Yes, they are Eldest Brother, Third Brother, Fifth Brother and Ninth Brother."

Yingbai's fingertips circled the slender tassels beneath the handle of the fan. "Prince, why do you think the Cheng Emperor summoned them?"

"It's only natural for me to meet my beloved son before I die. It's not strange at all."

"Then why didn't you summon the prince?"

Dongfang Zhi was startled, and then a bitter smile appeared on his face. "I have never been the person royal father loves."

"If we don't love them, how could we possibly hand over to His Highness the authority representing the Emperor's side? This special honor is something that neither the Emperor of Zhou nor the nine kings have."

"In fact, from the moment I took over the Shen Ji Camp, I've always been thinking about this question, but I've never been able to figure it out, maybe …" I remember when I was twelve, Second Brother and the others left school to pay respects to Royal Father. Second Brother and the others all received Royal Father's praise, and Ninth Brother, who recited the story incorrectly, was no exception. Only I … " He smiled ruefully and said: "You are right, yet you are being scolded by your father, and you even punished me for copying the entire book; and almost every time you do this, thanks to your father, with all these historical collections, I have been fortunate enough to copy them all; and the same goes for the text, no matter how hard I try to do it well, I am unable to enter your father's eyes. I'm sorry, I really don't feel it. "

Mu Qianxue pondered for a moment, as she already had an idea in mind. "Your Highness is like everyone else, only seeing the surface of the matter and not paying attention to the true meaning behind it."

"True intent?"

Mu Qianxue was a little tired from standing and so she returned to her chair and sat down. She lifted her hand to brush her hair fragments behind her ears as she asked, "Your Highness, think carefully.

Dongfang Zhi had been rendered speechless by her question. Yes, it was precisely because of Cheng Di's exceptional severity that he was able to understand the history before reaching 18 years of age and gain a strong physique. Could it really be as Mu Qianxue had said?

The thought had yet to fully form in his mind when it was ruthlessly tossed out of his mind. Royal father obviously disliked him so much. How could he be purposefully nurtured. It must have been a coincidence; yes, it must have been an accident!

"Princess, you're overthinking things. Mufei's born in the ordinary world, I'm not like big brother and the rest who know how to make father happy. Imperial Father …" He shook his head.

"Your highness is looking down on yourself in vain." Mu Qianxue covered her mouth and coughed a few times, saying, "Although I have never seen Emperor Cheng, I have still heard quite a bit about him. Among the ten generations of kings in the Great Zhou, Emperor Cheng stands at the forefront in terms of political accomplishments; how could such an emperor not see through his son's benevolence and righteousness, his disposition is pure and pure, and he is unyielding and willing to handle matters easily!"
