However, Mu Nihuang had no other choice. If she did not let Zhu Houzhao take Mu Jianping away, she would not be able to stay in Yuezhou. Then, the Mu Mansion would be in chaos. Mu Jianping was young and could not control the situation.
On the contrary, after entering the palace, Mu Jianping would not suffer much.
"I'll listen to Your Majesty's arrangements." Mu Nihuang said.
"Then it's settled."
After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he stood up and turned around to leave. Mu Nihuang's respectful words floated in his ears. As soon as he left the room, Zhao Gao immediately followed.
"With the two hundred thousand Mu family soldiers in hand, we can go all out when we return to the palace.”
After returning to his room, Zhu Houzhao pondered.
Although he was the emperor, the power in his hands was pitifully little.
Other than the Second East and West Depots and a few people in the cabinet who listened to him, the real power of the court was still in the hands of the Empress Dowager and Zhu Bujue. Now that he had the support of the Mu Estate, he no longer needed to remain silent. The first step after returning to the capital was to seize power!
If he could completely control the government in his hands, he might be able to improve his acting progress by a lot!
At that time, the other factions would also be rewarded by the system. It was not impossible for them to set their sights on the other six countries.
However, all of this needed to be done step by step. Haste did not eat hot tofu. The first step was to place people in the Mu Estate to keep an eye on Mu Nihuang. Only with an army would they have the right to speak.
"Zhao Gao, let Violet Girl and the Four Heavenly Kings of Quicksand come to see me.”
Zhu Houzhao said to Zhao Gao, who was standing outside the door. He wanted to tell the five of them about his arrangements.
"Yes, sir!"
Zhao Gao, who was outside the door, immediately responded and asked one of the Six Sword Slaves, Moryo, who was hiding in the dark, to inform him.
Zhu Houzhao nodded and turned around to pour himself a cup of tea.
Not long after, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the door, but it was not as light as the footsteps of martial arts experts like Violet Girl.
"Princess? His Majesty is resting." Zhao Gao's voice sounded.
"My lord! I have something to discuss with His Majesty."
Mu Jianping's voice rang out.
"Zhao Gao, what is it?"
"Your Majesty, the young princess has come to see you!”
Zhao Gao answered honestly when he heard Zhu Houzhao's question.
Mu Jianping?
Zhu Houzhao thought for a moment, perhaps Mu Nihuang wanted her to say something, so he said,""Let her in."
"Yes, sir!"
Zhao Gao immediately pushed open the door and let Mu Jianping in.
"Your Majesty, you gave me a jade pendant. I'm here to return the favor!”
Mu Jianping walked into the room. After bowing to Zhu Houzhao, his face was filled with a pure smile.
"Return the courtesy?" Zhu Houzhao was confused, but his doubts were quickly resolved.
Mu Nihuang waved her hand at the door and six delicate maids came in to greet her. Each of them was holding a tray with all kinds of expensive and gorgeous flowers on it.
"Yes! I want to use these flowers to decorate His Majesty's room!!”Mu Jianping said.
"As you wish."
Zhu Houzhao thought to himself that this little girl was quite interesting. He had just given her a jade pendant, and she had come to return the gift. Thus, he nodded in agreement. Mu Jian immediately ordered the six maids to enter the room and come to Zhu Houzhao's table.
"This golden flower looks a little strange…"
Zhu Houzhao saw a few golden flowers on a tray in the hands of a maid. They looked like lotus leaves, but they were not as big as lotus leaves. They were very eye-catching. He wanted to pick them up and smell them, but a stern shout suddenly sounded in his ear.
"Your Majesty, be careful! You can't touch this flower!"
Zhu Houzhao turned his head when he heard the shout. It was the charming Chi Liannu. Behind her were Wangliang, Violet Girl, and the rest of the Quicksand King.
"What's wrong with this flower?" Zhu Houzhao saw Chi Liannu's furrowed brows and retracted his right hand. He realized that things might not be that simple.
"Your Majesty, this flower is called the Golden Wave Flower, and it has a deadly poison!!”
Chi Liannu walked in front of Zhu Houzhao and separated him from the Golden Wave Flower. Zhu Houzhao was shocked by her words.
He had naturally heard of the Golden Wave Ten-Day Flower! The poisonous flower in the Liancheng Formula was terrifying. Even Ding Dian, a great expert who cultivated the Divine Radiating Art, was poisoned to death by the Golden Wave Flower. From this, one could see how terrifying this flower was!
"Someone wants to poison me?"
Zhu Houzhao's face darkened as he regained his senses. His body was emitting a strong killing intent.
"Indeed, someone wants to harm Your Majesty.”Chi Liannu replied with a grim expression.
The Golden Wave Ten-Year Flower was very rare, and very few people could recognize it. If it wasn't for the Wangliang calling her over, Zhu Houzhao would probably have been unable to escape this calamity.
The person who used this move was too insidious!
The conversation between the monarch and the minister shocked everyone present.
The young princess, Mu Jianping, stood rooted to the ground in fear. After she reacted, she quickly knelt down in front of Zhu Houzhao and said,""Your Majesty, it was sister Jin Hua who said that the emperor liked flowers and gave these flowers to me as a thank you gift!!”As she spoke, tears flowed uncontrollably down her cheeks.
She had already realized the seriousness of the matter.
If Zhu Houzhao was poisoned to death, then the only descendant of the Great Ming Imperial Family would be gone. She would become a sinner of the Great Ming, and the entire Mu Imperial Residence would probably not be left alive. Her Mu Family would also be implicated in ten clans!
Moreover, she did not want the Emperor who had given her the jade pendant on their first meeting to be poisoned to death. Therefore, when she found out that she had almost become the murderer, her tears fell.
"Sister Jin Hua? Where is she?"
Zhu Houzhao asked in a deep voice, his dragon eyes blazing with anger.
Before the sobbing Mu Jianping could speak, he said,"Violet Woman, stay here. The four of you, let Mu Jianping take you to find this Golden Flower! Bring her back!"
"Yes, sir!"
The four heavenly kings replied in unison.
Hearing this, Mu Jianping wiped his tears and said,"Follow me, I'll take you there!"
....
Mu Jianping was running too slowly, making Wushuang Gui extremely anxious. He grabbed her and threw her onto his shoulder, saying,"Point the direction! I'll bring you there!"
"She is the housekeeper of the Imperial Residence and lives in a room in the back garden of the Imperial Residence! Go this way!" Mu Jianping sobbed as he pointed in a direction.
The Peerless Ghost ran in the direction she pointed, and the ground seemed to tremble.
The other three Heavenly Kings jumped up and ran quickly on the eaves.
"It's that room!"
After passing through several corridors and courtyards, Mu Jianping pointed to the top of a row of rooms. The door was wide open.
Because the few of them made a huge commotion, many servants craned their necks to look curiously.
A sound came from the door.
The white phoenix was the fastest of the four.
Before Unrivaled Ash Wolf and Chi Lian arrived, they had already entered the wooden house.
At this moment, he walked out of the house and said to the three of them with a cold face,"She has already run away with the things! Chase after me!"
As he spoke, he took the lead and flew away from the high wall of the garden.
The other three also followed.
As if she had grasped some information, the white phoenix did not stop at all along the way. She followed the small alley outside the back garden wall and chased into the depths of the forest.
In the dense forest, a golden-robed woman was carrying a bag as she shuttled through the forest at high speed. From time to time, she would look in panic to see if there were any pursuers behind her.
Her target was a horse tied to a tree not far away.
"I see you! Little thing, where do you think you're going?"
A hint of mockery flashed across Bai Feng's handsome face. Without waiting for the other three, he stepped on the treetops and flew over.
Bang!
Just as Jin Hua was about to reach the horse, a white shadow descended from the sky and landed in front of her.
The white phoenix stared at Jin Hua with killing intent in its eyes.
He was speechless.
At this moment, Jin Hua didn't need to say anything to know that this handsome man in front of her was Zhu Houzhao's pursuer.
A hint of determination flashed across his dark face as he threw the parcel at Bai Feng! Immediately after, she pulled out the short dagger at her waist and stabbed it at Bai Feng's confidant!
Bang!
There was another bang.
Before the golden flower could even touch the white phoenix, its body flew backward and crashed into the Peerless Ghost that was following it.
Jin Hua's expression was extremely ugly when she landed on his iron-like body. After falling to the ground, she spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Sister Jin Hua, why did you poison His Majesty? You even asked me to send those flowers over!" After Mu Jianping saw her, he pointed at her and cried out, tears pouring out of his eyes.
"Bring her back." The white phoenix had no interest in such a defenseless opponent. She shook her head and turned to leave.
Chi Lian and Cang Lang surrounded her cautiously.
"Hmph, you want to bring me back! Dream on!" However, Jin Hua laughed maniacally and stabbed the dagger in her hand into her heart!
The speed was so fast that none of them could react in time!
