It will be easy if you understand all this.

Their goal was to overthrow the King of Southwest. As for whether her son would be able to sit on that throne by then, she couldn't guarantee it.

Of course, she secretly wanted Concubine Wu's son to take the throne.

After all, he is not the descendant of the King of Southwest. If the emperor wants to settle accounts with him in the future, he will have a legitimate reason, right?

Concubine Wu didn't know what she was thinking, but she had been led into a ditch by her and really began to seriously consider Mu Yunyao's suggestion.

She has been living in fear for more than 20 years.

Every time she came back from meeting that man, she would be terrified for several days, fearing that the King of Southwest would find out something.

She had been through enough of such days.

She was not an ambitious woman. All she wanted was to be with the one she loved forever.

But the man who grew up with her took her in, and she was sent to another place by her aunt, where she met the man who amazed her whole life.

They were already planning to get married, but that man came again.

He brought her back with great domineering attitude, not giving her any chance to refuse.

She didn't dare let him know that she already had another man in her heart. She knew her cousin better than anyone else.

If he knew that I had fallen in love with someone else, not only would I lose the baby in my belly, but even my beloved would die.

She could only flatter him and make him feel that the baby in her belly was his.

But she didn't expect that the man would chase her and even give up his life for her.

But how could they contend with the King of Southwest? Even after secretly planning for so many years, they were still like an ant trying to stop a tree when facing the King of Southwest.

Now, Old Madam Chen wants to get involved, and Concubine Wu is really tempted.

This might be an opportunity.

"how do you want to do it?"

Mu Yunyao finally waited for these words and smiled with narrowed eyes.

"Does the concubine have anyone?"

Concubine Wu didn't know what she meant, but she shook her head anyway.

Although Gu Lang gave people to protect her, those people were still not enough to face the people of the King of the Southwest.

Not to mention the spies trained by the King of Southwest over the years, all the garrisons in the southwest are under the command of the King of Southwest.

They had no chance of winning.

Thinking of this, Concubine Wu suddenly felt that she was really stupid, otherwise why would she think that by cooperating with Old Madam Chen, she could overthrow the King of the Southwest.

This was expected, so Mu Yunyao was not surprised. She looked at Concubine Wu's somewhat retreating look and smiled.

"It doesn't matter. I know who has it."

Her words instantly piqued Concubine Wu's interest.

"Who?"

Mu Yunyao pointed to the east, "Princess of Southwest, Princess Anle."

When she married to the southwest, she brought five thousand elite soldiers with her.

When Concubine Wu heard this, she was instantly disappointed. Princess Anle couldn't even protect herself now, so how could she help them?

She thought that Old Madam Chen had some good idea, but she didn't expect it to be this. She was really disappointed this time.

What's more, there's no chance of winning with 5,000 against 300,000, right?

When Mu Yunyao saw Concubine Wu's expression, she knew that he had not figured out the whole situation at all.

But she didn't care much about it. Concubine Wu was a little stupid, so it was easier to control her this way, wasn't it?

"Could Concubine Wu be planning to directly confront the Southwestern Army? If so, unless the Imperial Army is on the frontier, no one will have a chance of winning."

"Then what can you do?"

Seeing that the old lady of the Chen family looked confident, Concubine Wu felt a little hopeful.

Anyway, her affair with Gu Lang has been discovered by this old woman. Rather than waiting here for her to expose the truth and cause both herself and Gu Lang to die without a burial place, it would be better to give it a try.

"The people the prince trusts the most are you and the prince, right?

Then you will have a chance to get the military token. Just leave the prince in the mansion. Without the military token, who can mobilize troops for him?"

"Then there's no need to ask Princess Anle."

Concubine Wu thought so in her heart and asked.

Mu Yunyao looked at her with amusement.

"I just asked you, and you said you don't have anyone under your control, so do you think the assassins in the palace are just there to eat and do nothing?

"Let you keep the King of Southwest under house arrest, and you won't take any action?"

Concubine Wu finally understood why Princess Anle was dragged into this.

"But……"

She has been the only favorite in the palace for so many years. In order to please the King of Southwest, she has often gone against Princess Anle. Will she really help herself?

Although some things were not her own will, for the sake of herself and her child living a good life in the mansion, she could not lose the favor of the King of the Southwest. There were some things she had to do even if she didn't want to.

Mu Yunyao knew what she was worried about.

Then he smiled and said, "The King of Southwest has imprisoned Princess Anle in the palace for many years. No matter how deep the love between husband and wife is, it must have been worn away.

If Concubine Wu is worried, I can try it out on her behalf.

If Princess Anle didn't want to, she wouldn't have exposed the concubine to others, right?"

Concubine Wu thought this was a good idea, but she didn't think that Madam Chen was smart enough to ask for nothing.

"what do you want?"

She felt that it was better to make some things clear in advance, so that the man wouldn't ask for too much later.

Seeing that she had finally shown some cleverness, Mu Yunyao didn't intend to hide anything and just led the way.

"I am willing to join this game for the sake of my Chen family's prosperity for a hundred years."

Mu Yunyao stood up and bowed to Concubine Wu.

"I beg the Concubine for a favor. If the prince takes that position, please ensure that my Chen family will be safe for the next fifty years."

Concubine Wu stared at her for a long time, so long that Mu Yunyao almost thought she was going to fight back, and then she slowly nodded.

"Okay, as long as my son can take that position, he will never take action against the Chen family."

Concubine Wu didn't understand why Old Madam Chen dared to send her son to such a high position when she had such a big handle on her.

Isn't she afraid that she will kill someone to silence them afterwards?

Not that she has anything to rely on.

The more she thought about it, the more confident she became about this cooperation.

As Concubine Wu finished speaking, Mu Yunyao sat back on the embroidered cushion.

"My Lady Concubine, I have one more condition."

"What conditions?"

Concubine Wu now treated her as half her own and spoke to her in a much more casual manner.

Mu Yunyao smiled and said, "In order to prevent the Queen from settling accounts with my Chen family after the matter is accomplished, the Queen must give the military token to me for safekeeping after she obtains it."

"This is impossible."

Concubine Wu refused without even thinking about it.

This military token can mobilize 300,000 soldiers in the southwest. It can be said that whoever holds this military power is the real decision-maker in the southwest.

Unless she is stupid, she will never agree to such conditions.

Mu Yunyao was not in a hurry and spoke with a smile.
