4. With such a wife, what else can a husband ask for?

Mu Changtian did not explicitly say that he would help Lu Chen. There are some things in politics that cannot be said explicitly.

  However, since he has already guaranteed that Lu Chen's trip to Beijun will be smooth sailing, it means that he will definitely send people to protect the King of Bei and will also greet the army.

  Although Lu Chen is a political rookie, he can still understand what Mu Changtian said. Lu Chen said, "Thank you, father-in-law."

  Mu Changtian looked at the servants in the hall at this time, and then said to them, "You go out first, I have something to say to the King of Bei alone."

  "Yes."

  Then the servants left the hall.

  After the servants went out, Lu Chen asked curiously, "I wonder if my father-in-law has anything to tell me?"

  Mu Changtian asked the servants to leave the hall first, and then told him something. It must be something very important.

  Mu Changtian said at this time: "King of Bei, I want to remind you that even if you arrive in Beijun safely, you can't always be safe and sound."

  Lu Chen asked, "Why is that?"

  Mu Changtian knew that Lu Chen was a political rookie, so he simply made it clear.

  "Your mother is the eldest daughter of the Chu family,

  so the Chu family is naturally from your faction." "Although you have left Kyoto, in the eyes of most princes, you are still a great threat to them."

  "And the Chu family is likely to still have expectations for you. Even I think so, and those princes will definitely think so."

  "If you were still here, the Chu family would probably always support you, but if you..."

  Mu Changtian did not continue, after all, the following words were a bit disrespectful, and he believed that Lu Chen should have understood what he meant.

  Hearing Mu Changtian's reminder, Lu Chen instantly understood what he meant, after all, Chu Yuqin had just reminded him this morning.

  Lu Chen sighed inwardly.

  His situation was indeed very dangerous.

  If he didn't die, the Chu family might always have expectations for him, and the Chu family was a big family in Jiangnan. For any prince, the support of the Chu family was very important.

  If he died, the Chu family would lose the first choice for support, and they would turn to other princes.

  Therefore, any prince who wanted to win over the Chu family would most likely have to do the first thing to get rid of this useless prince and completely cut off the concerns of the Chu family.

  It was really a headache.

  Originally, after he came to this world, he had always planned to lie down and enjoy his life, and had no idea of ​​competing for the throne.

  Unexpectedly, his background alone brought him so much trouble.

  There was no way, his background was determined by nature and could not be changed.

  Now he only had two choices.

  One was to find a way to completely oppose the Chu family and make people think that he had broken up with the Chu family.

  Another choice was to kill all those who wanted to get rid of him, so that he would be safe.

  Choosing the second option meant that he was on the road to becoming an emperor.

  From a personal perspective, Lu Chen would definitely not completely break up with the Chu family.

  First of all, his grandfather had been very good to him since he was a child, and the Chu family had always sent people to protect him. Even his first love in this world, Chu Yuqin, was a member of the Chu family.

  He really couldn't do such a thing as making him completely break up with the Chu family.

  And even if he really broke up with the Chu family, those princes might not let him go. After all, no one knew whether he and the Chu family were singing a double act and performing for people to see.

  So getting rid of himself was the best plan.

  In this way, those princes might still do something to him.

  Then there was only the last choice left.

  Stepping on the road to becoming an emperor!

  Lu Chen thought about it. If it was before, it would be difficult for him to compete with those princes for that position.

  But now it is different.

  He has a system of having many children and more blessings.

  As long as he goes to Beijun, takes more concubines and has more children, he will be able to improve his own strength as soon as possible.

  That position may not be his.

  Thinking of this, Lu Chen said to Mu Changtian: "Thank you for reminding me, father-in-law. I understand what you mean."

  ...   

  After leaving the Mu Mansion, Mu Zixuan asked cautiously in the carriage: "Prince, what did Daddy say to you?"

  Lu Chen smiled slightly, and then hugged Mu Zixuan in his arms.

  "Nothing, he told me to treat you well."

  Mu Zixuan was a little entangled at this time. She didn't know whether she should tell Lu Chen about the two sisters of the Zhou family. After all, their identities were too sensitive. At

  this time, Lu Chen's hand gently stroked Mu Zixuan's hair and continued: "My beloved concubine, after arriving in Beijun, you must give birth to more children for this king."

  Hearing such direct words, Mu Zixuan's face turned red instantly. Although she was already a woman, she was still exposed to such things.

  Seeing Mu Zixuan's shy expression, Lu Chen wanted to bully her immediately, but he finally held back.

  At the same time.

  The palace.

  The imperial garden.

  A middle-aged man in a yellow python dragon robe stood in the pavilion of the lotus pond, with his hands behind his back, watching the fish in the lotus pond swimming around.

  A man in black armor suddenly appeared behind him.

  "Your Majesty, the King of the North just went to the Mu Mansion. During the visit, Duke Mu asked the servants to leave the hall and closed the door to talk to the King of the North alone."

  Hearing this, Emperor Xia said to himself: "It seems that Mu Changtian still values ​​Xiaojiu."

  At this point, Emperor Xia turned his head and looked at the red-robed eunuch beside him.

  "Eunuch Liu, do you think that after Xiaojiu leaves the capital this time, will the people of the Chu family give up on him?"

  Hearing this question, the red-robed eunuch immediately said: "Your Majesty, I dare not speak nonsense."

  Emperor Xia said somewhat unhappily: "Just say it when I ask you to." The

  red-robed eunuch hurriedly said: "In my opinion, the Chu family is likely to give up the King of the North and choose to support other princes."

  Emperor Xia asked with interest: "Oh? Then tell me, who is the most likely to be chosen by the Chu family?"

  Eunuch Liu was trembling with fear.

  He has been following Emperor Xia and knows some things that others don't know. Emperor Xia hates the Chu family to the bone and dreams of getting rid of the Chu family.

  If he says who the Chu family will support next, isn't this harming other princes?

  Emperor Xia continued, "You are so bold to say that. I pardon you."

  Eunuch Liu immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I think the Chu family will most likely support the Eighth Prince." The

  Eighth Prince's mother was also from Jiangnan, so if the Chu family wanted to choose a new person to follow, they would definitely focus on the Eighth Prince.

  Hearing what Eunuch Liu said, Emperor Xia just smiled faintly and murmured, "Support Xiao Ba, then Xiao Jiu's journey may not be peaceful."

  At this time, the soldier in black armor behind Emperor Xia asked, "Your Majesty, should I send someone to protect His Royal Highness the North King?"

  Emperor Xia said coldly, "No, someone will protect him. If he really gets into trouble, it can only be blamed on his weak life."

  ...

  In the evening.

  In the room, Lu Chen wanted to have a good communication with his beloved concubine, but when he thought about how he had tormented her yesterday and this morning, he gave up.

  Seeing that her husband seemed to be in great pain, Mu Zixuan finally summoned up the courage to say, "Your Majesty, why don't you take Youyou and Xiaoxiao in?"

  Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes lit up. He didn't expect his beloved concubine to be so generous.

  But he still said, "My beloved concubine, how can you bear to push me to other women?"

  Mu Zixuan blushed and said, "Your Majesty, you were staring at them this morning."

  How could she not guess what Lu Chen was thinking.

  Mu Zixuan continued, "And they were originally my maids who came with my dowry, so it's their duty to serve you."

  Lu Chen hugged Mu Zixuan and said, "With such a wife, what else can a husband ask for?"

  At this time, Mu Zixuan said to Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao, "Youyou, Xiaoxiao, come here."

  Then the candlelight flickered in the room.

  ...
