Zi Mu had been in a good mood recently, and everyone was pleasing to the eye. This laughter had ruined a group of palace maids and attendants in the palace. If it happened that the master was in a bad mood, who knew how many people would suffer!
However, everyone knew that their Master was capricious. He was still careful and did not dare to be careless.
The sun was shining brightly, warming the stone steps in the courtyard.
Zi Mu sat in the courtyard with a zither on his knees.
The leisurely music echoed around the courtyard and floated into the air.
The song was intermittent, and intermittent. There was joy, sadness, anger, jealousy…
After playing the song, Zi Mu gently caressed the body of the zither. For so many years, Zi Mu had always treated this zither as a treasure. He didn't care about countless other treasures, but this zither…
When he saw it, he felt as if he saw her kind face smiling at him. He saw the person who was afraid that he would freeze when he was practicing outside in the winter and secretly led him into the house to warm himself. However, she would also smile at him and love him so much. He was jealous, so jealous that he wanted to tear him apart…
The hand that was holding the zither gradually tightened until the fingertips turned white and it hurt a little…
He shook his head lightly and shook off the emotions that he shouldn't have. To achieve great things, one must have a heart of stone. Love was not needed.
"Men!" As soon as he finished speaking, a person jogged to the front and handed the zither to the servant to take back and put it away. Unexpectedly, the servant only noticed the change in his master's expression. When he turned around, he accidentally knocked the zither onto the stone pillar beside him, and a small piece was broken on the upper left corner.
"Useless thing!"
Zi Mu was furious. He slapped the servant, and he was sent flying a few feet away. He fell to the ground, and blood immediately flowed down the corner of his mouth.
The servant was so frightened that his entire body trembled. He crawled up from the ground and knelt down without caring about the pain." Master, please spare my life. Please spare my life. I won't dare to do it again…"
"Next time? There won't be a next time! Someone, pull him out and kill him!”With that, he picked up the zither from the ground and walked into the inner hall without looking back, ignoring the miserable cries for help coming from behind him.
After entering the inner hall, he placed the zither on the big table and began to repair the broken zither seriously.
Before his anger subsided, a person walked in from outside the hall. When he saw Zi Mu, he immediately knelt and bowed." Your subordinate greets Your Highness."”
This person was the guard who was with Zi Mu that night in the garden.
Zi Mu didn't raise his head and just waved his hand." Get up. How's the matter going?"”As he spoke, his hands didn't stop, still focusing on the zither.
"As Your Highness expected, the Queen has secretly sent the unconscious Crown Prince to the State of Yue. She wants him to recover there before returning without anyone noticing.”
Zi Mu smiled faintly, a smile slowly blossoming on his delicate face. It was like a flower, a poisonous flower.
Zizhao, you also have today? I'll make sure you never return!
" Your Highness..." She stammered. She had something to say but didn't dare to.
"If you have something to say, say it."
She looked up and asked," Your Highness, there is something I do not understand. Why not just kill the Crown Prince? Wouldn't that be a one-time solution? If he comes back in the future…"
"Hehe, kill him? If we really kill him, my father will definitely investigate with all his might. At that time, no one will be able to escape! I'm sure that Mother loves her son dearly and will not allow her proud son to have any damage to his reputation. She will definitely send him to Yue. If he isn't here, even if someone asks, Mother will find an excuse to avoid him…When he arrives in Yue Country, someone will naturally kill him. His death in Yue Country has nothing to do with bengong!……”After saying that, Zi Mu raised his head and laughed loudly.
He was getting closer and closer to his dream. He had to sit on that seat. He had to stand at the highest point and look down on the world. He wanted to see who would dare to look down on him! He wanted everyone to know that he, Zi Mu, was just as outstanding as anyone else.
The guard at the side tactfully pushed out of the inner hall.

Hao 'er had just come back from outside, and before she could catch her breath, Spring Grass ran over hurriedly and almost bumped into Hao' er.
"What are you doing? Had the sky collapsed? You're so anxious!"
"Humph! In a while, you'll think that I'm slow.”Spring Grass muttered softly.
Hao 'er glared at him." What's the matter? Tell me quickly, I'm very busy!"
Spring Grass handed over the item in her hand and said," There's someone outside with this jade accessory who wishes to see Your Highness."”Spring Grass deliberately emphasized the words 'Her Royal Highness the Princess'. After she finished speaking, she covered her mouth and secretly laughed.
Hao 'er took it and took a look. Oh my god, wasn't this the special jade ornament that she had given Zi Zhao back then? Shouldn't it be with Zizhao? Why was he here? Something must have happened. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used such a method to find him!
"Where is he? Where are you now?"
"Just outside the door." Spring Grass saw her master's anxious expression and didn't dare to tease her anymore.
"Quickly let him in."
Spring Grass had just turned around, but before she could take a step, she was called back." Wait, there's no need. I'll go by myself!"”
Before he finished speaking, he had already disappeared.
Spring Grass imitated her master's previous appearance. Helpless, she sighed. Sigh, why was she so anxious!
Hao 'er ran out of the door in one breath and saw a man standing not far from the door. He was about 30 years old and had good facial features. He gave people a calm feeling.
Seeing that it wasn't Zi Zhao, Hao 'er was a little disappointed. After calming herself down, she walked steadily to him with an elegant expression. Then, she lifted the jade ornament in her hand generously and looked straight at the man.
When the man saw her, he bowed." I am Chen Yan. Greetings, Your Highness." My master is waiting at the inn." A few days ago, Chen Yan swore to be loyal to the Crown Prince and to treat Zi Zhao as his master.
Hao 'er had never seen the man who called himself' Chen Yan 'in front of her before. She didn't know if he was a friend or foe, nor did she know what Zi Zhao's situation was like, but she was sure that something must have happened. Therefore, she couldn't help but be on guard.
"Who is your master?"
"The owner of this jade ornament." Chen Yan's words were still few and his answer was concise.
Hao 'er looked at him for a while. The man in front of her was calm, so she only said two words lightly," Lead the way!”
