From start to finish, Mu Qinghe never relied on him, but on Mu Longhe, or rather, the hidden Great Xia behind the scenes.
Of course, this doesn't mean he played no role, but the role he actually played was nothing like what he had imagined.
The role he, as the Princely Heir, played was to confuse Duan Hong and Beishuo, making them think that Mu Qinghe's support for this coup was him, to conceal Great Xia as the real mastermind.
In other words, he was being used!
He thought he was the one using Mu Qinghe, but in reality, he was the one being used by Mu Qinghe, or rather by Great Xia behind Mu Qinghe.
"Ignorant barbarians, lowly ants, how dare you insult this Princely Heir like this, such audacity, such audacity..."
No one expected that after Cai Shiqi understood the ins and outs of the situation, he would actually break down!
