Chapter 179: Both the Host and the Guests Are Happy

And the powerful minister beside her.

Mu Han glanced at Wen Jin, picked up the wine cup in front of him and took a sip slowly. He had also heard about what had happened in the past few days.

After the princess returned to the imperial city, she made a big fuss. Not only did she break off the engagement with the Xiao family, she also imprisoned Xiao Jinghan, arrested the son of the Minister of Revenue and Hu Yushi, and then poisoned the emperor and the empress dowager, and took the Qilin Guard to forcefully break out of the imperial city.

Although there were only a few things that could be summarized in a few words, none of them was something that ordinary people would dare to do.

After the princess left, the chief minister devised a plan to seize Xiao Chongshan's military power, causing Yan Chen to lose his biggest support in an instant. He then made another plan to pretend to suppress the rebellion and directly took away 60,000 elite troops. He was able to escape from the imperial city and chased to the State of Chu without stopping. The hardship during this period was not worth mentioning, but it was enough to prove his deep feelings for the princess.

The assassination on the way back to Zhuque City from Chu State shows how terrible Wen Jin is and how powerful he is. It may not be a big deal to offend him, but if you offend the princess, Wen Jin will probably kill you without a burial place.

With such a person by her side, the princess's ascension to the throne will be smoother than ever. Wen Jin will eliminate anyone who hinders her without mercy.

No matter what secular rules, moral ethics, or ancestral system, death can shock people's hearts.

Mu Han actually knows very well that the princes of every dynasty are actually dangerous. At the beginning of the founding of the country, they followed the king to conquer the world, and they got fiefdoms and military power to guard the border cities and be powerful.

However, with this kind of glory, it is often accompanied by merits that surpass the master and have their own troops.

After being out of the emperor's sight and passed down for one or two generations, it will inevitably cause the king's fear, forming a tug-of-war.

The king can always find an excuse to get rid of someone he wants to get rid of. It's just a matter of time.

As vassal kings, they are not afraid of how powerful the person sitting on the throne is. The stronger the talent, the more tolerant they are. What they are afraid of is that a foolish and incompetent person will become the emperor, who will be suspicious of this and fear that all day long, making the world restless and everyone in danger.

Mu Han drank a sip of wine in silence.

From the day he came to Zhuque City with Chu Yanling, he had actually disobeyed the order. If Yan Chen has a chance to turn the tables in the future, he will never let them go easily.

So they have no way out.

Thinking of this, Mu Han put down the wine cup and said seriously: "Whatever the princess wants to do, we will not interfere, nor will we hinder her. If the princess needs it, the troops in Qinglong are willing to help the princess."

As soon as these words came out, they were immediately greeted with a few surprised or subtle eyes.

The surprised person was Ye Jinglan. He did not expect Mu Han to compromise so quickly, but this is a good thing.

Lu Ming's eyes were subtle. If his eyes could speak, he would even want to ask Mu Han, have you figured it out yourself, or are you scared by Wen Jin?

If you are scared by Wen Jin, there is no need to be afraid of him... But this sentence doesn't seem to be appropriate. After all, Wen Jin threatened him for the sake of the princess.

Lu Ming drank a sip of wine silently and simply ignored it.

Wen Jin looked calm, and he didn't seem surprised at all that Mu Han made such a decision, but he knew that Mu Han was not worried about cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, but was just good at analyzing the situation.

Yan Chen is not a wise monarch. Anyone with eyes can see that a narrow-minded monarch will do whatever it takes to eliminate all those who make him dissatisfied if he sits on the throne in the future.

Mu Han is not a fool.

There was silence for a moment, and Chu Yanling said: "If the princess needs it, Baihu City is also willing to help."

Wen Jin drank a sip of tea without saying a word.

Several people at the table were drinking, but he was the only one holding a teacup, drinking leisurely.

"I just said that I don't need you to help me with anything." Yan Qing smiled faintly, "but please do your job well."

The dinner was quite pleasant, and both the host and the guests were happy.

After the dinner, Mu Han and the others said goodbye one by one, followed the host Lu Ming back to Zhuque King City, and continued to discuss business.

In the princess's mansion, Wen Jin accompanied Yan Qing for a walk in the garden.

There was a breeze blowing at night, mixed with a comfortable fragrance.
