It was already late at night. In his palace, when Chu Wushuang heard that Chu Wuming had come to visit, a cold smile appeared on his face. "My third brother coming to visit so late at night is something that has never happened before, haha."
As for Chu Wuming's visit, Chu Wushuang clearly guessed his goal. If it wasn't for Xiao Chen, who else could it be?
It seemed that Chu Wuming truly valued Xiao Chen and couldn't bear to see him die. However, Xiao Chen had killed the fifth prince in front of everyone. Even with Chu Wuming's abilities, it would be hard to protect him. Thus, Chu Wuming thought of his second brother. If he could join forces with Chu Wushuang, perhaps he could save Xiao Chen's life.
Chu Wushuang naturally knew that Chu Mu had come to visit Chu Qingshan and Chu Mubai late at night. He knew that his father was probably preparing to make a move on Xiao Chen.
With a cold smile on his face, Chu Wushuang said to the person in front of him, "Let my third brother come in. This is the first time he has asked me for a favor. I can't refuse him at the door."
Chu Wushuang decided to meet this Chu Wuming, but he did not plan to lend a helping hand. The purpose of meeting Chu Wuming was only to ridicule him. If he wanted him to lend a hand to save Xiao Chen, it was simply a fool's dream.
Hearing Chu Wushuang's words, the person respectfully replied and immediately retreated. Not long after, Chu Wuming walked in under the lead of the person from the temple.
Sitting on the main seat, his gaze was full of ridicule as he looked down at Chu Wuming. Chu Wushuang laughed, "Third brother coming to find me so late at night, there must be something urgent. If there's anything you need, just say it. You and I are brothers. If I can help, I definitely won't refuse."
None of them had any intention of asking Chu Wuming to sit down. In the face of Chu Wushuang's sarcastic words, Chu Wuming didn't get angry.
"If that's the case, then I'll get straight to the point. I came here in the middle of the night because I hope that you can save Xiao Chen's life."
He didn't beat around the bush. In any case, Chu Wushuang had already guessed the purpose of his visit. Hesitating would only make him more unscrupulous.
Seeing that Chu Wuming had directly stated his intentions, the smile on Chu Wushuang's face became even wider. He slowly got up and walked over to Chu Wuming. He looked at Chu Wuming as if he was looking at an idiot and sneered.
"Haha, my good third brother, your second brother had always thought that you weren't too stupid. Why did you do such a stupid thing today? Do you think it's possible for me to save Xiao Chen's life? Haha. "
It was impossible for him to save Xiao Chen. In fact, it would be a miracle if Chu Wushuang didn't add insult to injury.
Hearing Chu Wushuang's words, Chu Wuming calmly said, "What if I'm willing to withdraw from the capital in exchange for second brother's help? Will second brother still refuse me? "
Taking the initiative to leave the Imperial Capital … Hearing Chu Wuming's words, it was just as Xiao Chen had said. The smile on Chu Wushuang's face immediately froze. Then, with an expression of disbelief, he asked, "What did you just say?"
"I said, I'm willing to take the initiative to leave the Imperial City and never step into the Imperial City again in my life in exchange for second brother's help." Facing Chu Wushuang's question, Chu Wuming said with a powerful and resonating voice.
His expression was extremely serious and didn't seem like he was joking at all. Hearing Chu Wuming's words, Chu Wushuang fell silent and no longer ridiculed Chu Wuming. He turned around and sat down in the main seat.
Frowning in contemplation, Chu Wushuang never thought that Chu Wuming would actually offer such a condition. Taking the initiative to leave the capital was equivalent to Chu Wuming giving up the fight for the position of crown prince. In this way, Chu Wushuang would have one less opponent.
It had to be said that Chu Wuming's conditions made it impossible for Chu Wushuang to refuse, nor did he have any reason to refuse.
The reason why Chu Wushuang was so eager to get rid of Xiao Chen was to weaken Chu Wuming's strength so that Chu Wuming no longer had the qualifications to threaten him. Now that Chu Wushuang took the initiative to leave the capital, the result would be the same and even more thorough.
As long as Chu Wuming truly left the capital, the threat he posed to him would naturally disappear.
In the face of Chu Wushuang's silence, Chu Wuming didn't say anything and quietly waited for his answer.
After a while, Chu Wushuang put away his smile and looked at Chu Wuming with an equally serious expression. "Third brother, are you serious?"
"Absolutely not. As long as second brother is willing to help, I will immediately withdraw from the capital." Chu Wushuang seriously replied Chu Wuming.
He didn't have the slightest intention of joking. Seeing this, Chu Wushuang finally said, "Alright, since third brother is so determined, I naturally have no reason to refuse. However, there is one thing. I can help, but I can't guarantee the outcome. If imperial father is still unwilling to let go of Xiao Chen, then third brother must immediately leave the capital. How about it?"
Chu Wushuang agreed to help, but he couldn't guarantee success. Hearing this, Chu Wuming nodded and said, "Alright, as long as second brother is willing to help, no matter what the outcome is, I promise to immediately leave the capital."
"Haha, good. Then it's settled. However, Third Brother, don't worry. Even if you leave the Imperial Capital, Second Brother will definitely give you a King's position in the future and let you be a free and unfettered King. I will definitely not treat Third Brother unfairly. Haha." The two of them reached an agreement and Chu Wushuang also laughed loudly in joy.
After convincing Chu Wushuang, Chu Wuming didn't stay for long and hurriedly rushed to Chu Wushuang's temporary residence. Just like Chu Wushuang, Chu Wuming also offered his own conditions to leave the capital.
However, unlike Chu Wushuang, Chu Wuming was clearly more stable and shrewd. It was precisely because of this that Chu Wuming didn't immediately agree after hearing his conditions. Instead, he spoke with deep meaning.
"Third brother is willing to leave the capital for Xiao Chen. Don't you think it's a bit too much? Moreover, big brother Rong, let me say something unpleasant. Even if third brother doesn't leave the capital, after this incident, third brother probably won't have the strength to fight for the position of crown prince anymore, right? "
After this incident, Chu Wuming was clearly greatly affected. After all, Xiao Chen was one of his people. Now that Xiao Chen killed the fifth prince, Chu Wuming couldn't escape the blame.
Faced with Chu Wuming's words, Chu Wuming's expression didn't change at all. He spoke according to what Xiao Chen had taught him.
"Big brother sees things clearly. Indeed, after this incident, it's impossible for me to fight for the position of crown prince anymore. First of all, I won't be able to get through father. However, big brother has thought of another possibility. That is, if I side with second brother, what will you do?"
These words were taught to Chu Wuming by Xiao Chen. Before this, Xiao Chen had already guessed what kind of obstacles Chu Wuming would encounter when facing Chu Wushuang and Chu Wuque. There was no need to mention Chu Wushuang as he was easy to deal with. The only difficult one was Chu Wuque because he was more vicious.
However, even so, Xiao Chen had absolute confidence in convincing Chu Wuque because Chu Wuque had no choice but to agree to this matter. As expected, after hearing Chu Wuming's words, Chu Wuque's expression immediately changed and a cold glint flashed across his eyes.
