Chapter 555: 408

Godfather, it seems she forgot a very important person!

Still a precious prince!

Gu Changsheng’s reaction immediately startled everyone in the room.

Zhou Mu furrowed his brows upon hearing this, stood up, and grasped his startled wife, asking, "Who did you forget? What made you so panicked?"

Gu Changsheng looked out at the pouring rain in the night sky, swallowed hard, and hesitantly said, "Evildoer, it’s really cold outside, isn’t it?"

Winter was nearly upon them, and this sudden torrential rain meant the temperatures outside were probably not nice at all!

Zhou Mu nodded immediately upon hearing this.

Uncle Song glanced outside and agreed, "My lady, isn’t that asking the obvious? It’s already cold, and with this freezing rain, it must be utterly chilly outside!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s bright face immediately drooped!

Dammit, she seemed to have caused trouble now...

"Evildoer, has there ever been a prince who froze to death from the rain?" Gu Changsheng turned her head, her face filled with deep annoyance as she asked Zhou Mu in a deadpan manner.

Zhou Mu raised an eyebrow at this, and confidently said, "Throughout history, no prince has ever died from freezing in the rain!"

He had a premonition that his woman definitely did something "good" again!

A prince?

Liuzhou City had plenty of things, but princes were in abundance!

He just didn’t know which prince might freeze to death in the rain!

Thinking this, Zhou Mu’s eyes slightly narrowed!

In Liuzhou City, only he and Hetian were among the imperial relatives and nobles from Great Zhou, the rest were princes from the Three Kingdoms!

Sima Changhao, Borjigin Lvchi, and Jin Linyuan, he had just encountered them at the City Gate, and obviously, they all traveled by carriage, they surely wouldn’t freeze to death in the rain. That left only one person!

"Evildoer, can I say that I left the Ninth Prince of Southern Chen hanging from the southeast branch?" Gu Changsheng looked at the evildoer in front of her, her face about to cry as she spoke.

Dammit, she really didn’t do it on purpose, okay?

She was just being manipulated, felt resentful, and thought about hanging Sima Liancheng back on a tree branch to vent!

Who would have expected, heaven actually made it so beautiful, this sudden torrential rain was completely out of her expectations!

This goes to show that although the weather forecast is unreliable and retrospective, it is still incredibly important!

Of course, having a good relationship with the Godfather is even more important!

Gu Changsheng now began to wonder whether it was her bad luck in asking for good things or Sima Liancheng had smoked incense up to the immortals’ crack!

Wasn’t the weather fine when he was hung back on the tree branch? It hadn’t been long before the sky thundered and winter rain began to pour!

Who is to blame?

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu was stunned for a moment and then helplessly smiled, "Did you encounter Sima Liancheng when you left the city?"

"Yes! He’s a man with unfathomable schemes!" Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but sigh.

Zhou Mu heard this, his mouth twitched slightly, a mocking curve appearing as he confidently spoke, "Since he managed to find out your whereabouts and meet you under Sima Changhao’s watch, he indeed has some skills. It appears I underestimated him!"

"Ah?" Gu Changsheng turned her head upon hearing this, her eyes sharp as she asked Zhou Mu, "Did you already know something was wrong with him?"

While asking this, Gu Changsheng was already certain, Zhou Mu, this evildoer, must have noticed something off about Sima Liancheng!

Dammit, within the strong there are stronger, Sima Liancheng is deeply unfathomable, and the evildoer is no simple character!

She knew it, this evildoer was utterly cunning and extremely scheming!

Zhou Mu didn’t answer Gu Changsheng’s question directly, but instead looked at her with a faint smile and leisurely said, "Since he has already met with you, surely some matters are tacitly understood!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng nodded her head and hesitantly said, "It is tacitly understood indeed, but who knows how much real ability he has after keeping a low profile for so long! Sima Changhao being able to hold onto his position as the Crown Prince of Southern Chen is definitely no easy feat!"

Among the Four Kingdoms, which kingdom’s court powers aren’t entangled like vines?

Since Sima Changhao has managed to hold onto the position of Crown Prince and forced Sima Liancheng, who lacks maternal support, to survive by feigning homosexuality, it shows his significant power!

Even so, Sima Liancheng continues relentlessly, also showing his deep schemes and strong resilience!

A ruthless person is not scary, but someone who can endure truly is terrifying!

"Ninth Prince of Southern Chen, Sima Liancheng, grew up under the watchful eye of Sima Changhao without the support of his mother’s clan. Not only that, the relationship between the brothers is quite harmonious, which shows how deep you hide!" Zhou Mu picked up a teacup beside him and handed it to Gu Changsheng, slowly beginning, "Even though he can’t shake Sima Changhao’s position, his very existence is Sima Changhao’s biggest weakness!"

Gu Changsheng was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, then quickly realized, taking the warm teacup in his hand and slowly began, "It is rumored that the Imperial Clan of Southern Chen has many offspring, but the only ones who really grew up are the brothers Sima Changhao and Sima Liancheng. Sima Changhao needs Sima Liancheng to shape him into a respectful and fraternal Crown Prince, while Sima Liancheng used this point to survive in the cracks!"

"Once something happens to Sima Liancheng, even if there are no other Princes in Southern Chen to compete with Sima Changhao, your Three Kingdoms would also not hesitate to pin the notorious name of fratricide on Sima Changhao, right?"

Zhou Mu heard this, a hint of helplessness flickered in his eyes.

This woman of his, truly has a clever mind!

No matter the state affairs or minor matters, she sees through everything incredibly clearly!

Seeing this, a shadow passed over Gu Changsheng’s eyes.

This is the contest between nations. Even Zhou Mu, who disdains underhanded dealings with his aloof and proud attitude, cannot avoid it!

If Southern Chen is left with only Sima Changhao as the Crown Prince, even if he ascends the throne without question, his reputation will be criticized and scorned by everyone in the world!

Suddenly, Gu Changsheng felt such matters were incredibly filthy!

Indeed, she had also once been a Major General, but she could only be a general, never a politician!

She couldn’t engage in such filthy deeds!

Zhou Mu constantly observed Gu Changsheng’s expression. Seeing her like this, he immediately understood what she was thinking, raised his hand to embrace her shoulders, and began, "This Prince knows you dislike these deceitful tactics. If you dislike them, then don’t think about them!"

"Changsheng, this Prince promises you, once matters here are settled and Great Zhou is stable, I will immediately submit my letter of abdication and retire with you to Liuzhou City, away from these conflicts, alright?"

Leaning on Zhou Mu’s shoulder, Gu Changsheng, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but reveal a bitter smile.

Trees may prefer calm, but the wind will not subside; the evildoer’s promises are so simple, yet so hard!

He is the Undefeated War God of Great Zhou, Prince Mu! Great Zhou’s reliance! The only presence that can deter the Three Kingdoms!

His desire to retire from being King is almost as difficult as ascending to heaven!

But thinking about what Zhou Mu had once said to Zhou Zongbao, Gu Changsheng was absolutely certain, this indeed was what Zhou Mu wished for!

He genuinely wanted to abandon everything and live in peace with her!

Knowing it’s impossible, but every time he spoke this way, Gu Changsheng was still deeply moved!

"Evildoer..." Gu Changsheng softly began in a low voice.

"Hmm?"

"Although I can observe the situation from an outsider’s perspective, I could never become a politician. I don’t have the heartless ruthlessness nor the fierce ambition..." Gu Changsheng murmured.

Zhou Mu heard this, his expression darkened. He raised his hand to cover her cheek, slowly and firmly began, "I, too, lack such ambition. Having you in this life, I am already content, nothing else needed!"

A smile slowly spread across Gu Changsheng’s face, a flicker of realization in her eyes, she equally firmly began, "So evildoer, no matter what, I will stand by you! Whether good or bad, as long as you remain my Gu Changsheng’s evildoer, I’ll never leave nor forsake you! Through the Futu’s Purgatory, no matter how bumpy the road ahead, with you by my side, this path won’t be lonely!"

Zhou Mu heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face, his long arms stretched out, tightly enveloping her in his chest.

Uncle Song saw this, somewhat embarrassed, lowered his head, and couldn’t help feeling very moved!

The young people nowadays, really have less regard for the proper distance between men and women!

But seeing how deeply Prince Mu adored his wife, he was extremely relieved!

Meanwhile, Si Xi’s face couldn’t help but show a hint of concern...

His wife, although seemingly overbearing, is at heart the kindest person; if she knew about Southern Fujian...

Alas! How should it be handled by then?

Gu Changsheng was sentimental only for a few minutes, and soon after, her moved state passed, and she awkwardly extracted herself from Zhou Mu’s embrace, pouting as she began, "Although what you say is correct, obviously, even if something happens, it absolutely should not happen within Great Zhou’s territory! I have high hopes for him, hoping he can wreak havoc in Southern Chen!"

Damn, it would be great if Sima Changhao and Sima Liancheng fought amongst themselves; she wanted to see if, by that time, Sima Changhao would still have the energy to press his armies against Great Zhou!

Zhou Mu heard this, noncommittally nodded his head, "Neither Sima Changhao nor Sima Liancheng are benevolent. It’s better to avoid bargaining with a tiger than to kill it and end it all!"

"Relax! Sima Liancheng is both resilient and cunning, with an extraordinary mind. He should be qualified to challenge Sima Changhao. If he gets into trouble in Great Zhou, this blame will inevitably fall on us, and it could even ignite a war between two nations. Such a detrimental and unprofitable move, we surely won’t do!" Seeing this, Gu Changsheng reassured, patting Zhou Mu’s shoulder.

Damn, if Sima Liancheng died in Great Zhou, it might actually align with Sima Changhao’s intentions, making clothes for others to wear; she wouldn’t engage in such activities!

Zhou Mu heard this, noncommittally glanced at her, then waved his hand at Si Xi, "Go, take down that Ninth Prince who’s been hung on the southeast branch!"
