Demon Lord 3

Seeing that there was a chance, we were also stunned for a moment, and then we slowly told the story. We didn't tell him the real purpose of our visit, but we did say that we knew the current state of the dynasty and asked him if he had any solutions. He got along well with us and told us some of the things he knew. He opened two pots of good wine and said, "Let's drink and talk at the same time. In fact, we still can't talk about this matter together. After all, think about it, and you will feel that there is something fishy about it. How could the old king die so soon? The child is still young, and we can't let the little king take such a big responsibility. His mother is not a bad person, and she also asked us to take good care of the little king, because his mother now feels that her health is not good, and she doesn't know when she will be gone. Although I am a regent, my power is not that great now. If his mother can hold on for a few more years, then I will consolidate my power and will definitely ensure that the little king will have no worries in the future." When Wu Luansen heard this, he shook his head and said, "In fact, I don't think things can be said that way. If the little king If he can't govern the country, it's useless to let his mother hold on for a few more years. Even if the disease is cured and she can hold on for a few more decades, it won't allow the little king to gain experience in the future. People are all about experience, but if we keep protecting her like this, when will it end? I think there must be something else behind the old king's death. Don't you think we should investigate?" Mu Chen sneered, "Don't you think I don't want to? If I had that ability, wouldn't I have governed this country long ago? Why would I have to look for some so-called elixir? Now the little king's mother must live a few more years before I can consolidate my position. This is the foolproof plan we have in mind. I think it's impossible to stabilize her for a long time. After all, a person without cultivation, no matter how stable he is, is at most an ordinary person. Using that kind of elixir can only save his life for a few years. I'm trying to make it better. I've never done anything like prolonging life, so I don't know if there are any other side effects. But every day I'm investigating when the old king died, what the cause was, and who caused it, but for a few years, nothing has happened. I have no clue. For such a long time, I have been living in fear every day. "At this point, I asked the question that I was most curious about and said, "Then I would like to ask, with such great power, why do you have to hide from place to place when you are with your lover? Is there any hidden story?" Mu Chen continued to sneer and said, "It's not necessary to hide from place to place. After all, I am still in my own palace, but do you know what our relationship is? You should have heard the name she called me, right? When this country was selecting a national teacher, there were actually two candidates, one was me and the other was her father. She broke up with her family for the sake of me and ran away from home. Now she has had some sad days! Do you know why she did this? She had a bad relationship with her father since she was a child, because her mother was killed by her father's other wife, who could not be considered a wife. In fact, that person was the legal wife, and her mother was just a concubine. Because of her low status, she could only swallow her anger in the end. After so many years, she was always bullied by the legitimate people. The hierarchy between legitimate and illegitimate children was like this. "Things, I think you should understand. If you're a legitimate child, it means you hold a high position in the family. But if you're a concubine's child, you should be able to understand that, unless the old man in the family is a good person, or like me, I was born a concubine and achieved enlightenment through hard work, so I should also treat my subordinates well." Wu Luansen continued, "So if you found the person who killed the old king, what would you do? Would you arrest them secretly and execute them, or make it public and then deal with them?" Mu Chen thought for a moment and said, "It depends on who it is. I actually have a few candidates in mind. If I guess one of them, I'll probably deal with them secretly. Not everyone can be made public, otherwise people will think I'm abusing my power for personal gain." Wu Luansen subconsciously wanted to reach out, but thought again, then clasped his fists and said, "You've worked so hard for the old king and the royal family. You're worthy of being the National Master! I admire you. I wonder if the National Master would be willing to take us with you? I have an idea about that elixir."
