Just train and train, knowing that you can't escape this disaster.
Mu Feng sighed, while Mu Yan next to him was calm. He had already expected that this mission was a failure. Leader Mu was showing mercy by not punishing them.
It's all for the sake of the master.
After returning home, Mu Qingyan felt extremely comfortable. In the evening, she went to the old prince's courtyard for dinner. After returning, she took a good hot bath before going to bed.
The bed was soft and she felt comfortable. After putting aside all the distracting thoughts in her mind, Mu Qingyan quickly fell asleep.
Have a good night's sleep.
Early the next morning, Mu Nanping was summoned by the emperor and rushed to the palace.
When Mu Qingyan woke up, she heard Mu Qi talking about this matter. She frowned slightly. Bailiyou couldn't go to Lincheng because she was seriously injured. She was afraid that the Holy Lord would be involved in this matter.
Making a fuss.
"Mu Qi, prepare the car." She had to go to the palace.
Mu Qi understood her thoughts instantly, nodded and turned to leave. However, he turned around and saw Mu Xuan at the entrance of the courtyard.
"No need." He stopped Mu Qi.
Mu Qingyan looked at him, her expression full of worry, "But daddy..."
Mu Xuan came over and comforted him: "My father asked me to tell you. There is no need to go to the palace for him, he will be fine."
It turns out that dad had expected it.
Mu Qingyan pursed her lips, but she was still worried. Although the Lord tolerated her, he would never tolerate her father.
"Don't worry, since father said so, there must be a solution." Mu Xuan put his hand on her shoulder, "Just stay at home to recover from your injuries and wait for news about father."
"That's all we can do." She sighed, turned around and took Mu Xuan into the house.
I hope daddy is fine.

Inside the Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace
Mun Nanping faced the emperor with a calm expression.
The Holy Father had not raised his head to look at him since he came in. He did not even answer when he asked for greetings. He kept looking at the memorial in his hand. He just stood like this, waiting for him to speak.
After an unknown amount of time, the emperor finally put down the memorial in his hand and raised his eyes to look at him solemnly.
This Mu Nanping is really calm. He has exactly the same temperament as General Mu. If it had been anyone else, he would have been so frightened that he would have begged for mercy, but he actually didn't change his expression and didn't panic at all.
.
The emperor's eyes were deep, how could the Mu family keep him from worrying.
He looked at Mu Nanping in front of him and said in a deep voice: "I heard that the beloved daughter of the Prime Minister and my future daughter-in-law was frightened. How is she doing now?"
Mu Nanping's expression did not change much, and his attitude was the attitude a courtier should have, "Thanks to the prince, everything is fine with my little girl. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."
Hearing that Mu Qingyan was fine, the emperor was actually relieved, but when he thought about how his precious prince could possibly hurt her, he sneered.
"Qing Yan is fine, but my prince has injured his arm. I originally ordered him to go to Lincheng to treat the flood, but now it seems that he can't go."
Mu Nanping lowered his head, then lifted up his robe and knelt down. He knelt upright, with an elegant posture and the pride of a general.
"I am terrified. How can my little daughter He De make His Highness the Crown Prince sacrifice his life? I am willing to go to Lincheng to share the worries of His Majesty. To atone for this sin, I ask His Majesty's permission."
Mu Nanping knelt straight and spoke very firmly. He knew very well that even if he changed from a general to a prime minister and became a nominal brother to the Holy One, he would never be able to call him a brother.
The Holy Emperor only wanted to take back half of his military power when he made him king, and then took this opportunity to make enemies for him.
"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, surprise flashed through his heart, then he stood up and walked to him, looking down at Mu Nanping.
"Are you going to Lincheng to control the floods on behalf of my prince?"
Mu Nanping replied: "The prince is so resourceful that I feel ashamed and dare not replace him. I just want to do my best."
He was really being tricked at every turn. If he admitted it, wouldn't it be proof that his talents were better than the prince's and that he could completely replace him.
The emperor looked at him quietly, then suddenly clapped his hands after a moment, "Okay, as expected of a descendant of the Mu family, loyal to the emperor and patriotic. In this case, there is no reason for me to be inaccurate."
Mu Nanping took the initiative to ask for help, but he blocked any words he wanted to blame.
Oh, you are really brave enough to just leave your wife and children at home.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty King Jin is here." At this time, the father-in-law came in and said respectfully.
What are you doing here now? The emperor's eyes fell on Mu Nanping, and he was thinking about Baili Jin's purpose.
"Prince Xiang, please get up first. There is no need to kneel."
When Bai Lijin came in, he happened to hear his father say these words. He glanced at Mu Nanping and thought in his heart that it would be better to come early than to come by chance.
No wonder the emperor's brother sent him here in such a hurry. It turned out that he was here to relieve the siege of the Prime Minister.
He was drinking in his yard when he suddenly received news from Liu Ying saying that the emperor's brother had ordered him to enter the palace immediately.
He had just heard from the palace officials that his father was meeting the Prime Minister in the royal study, and he had already guessed something.
"My son, please see your father." He saluted the emperor.
The emperor's expression softened a lot, and he still liked this son, "If you don't take good care of the prince, why are you here looking for me?"
Baili Jin had a smile on his face, "Father, I have something to ask of you."
The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "What else can you ask of me?" He was not always very casual and rarely approached him and asked him for things.
Baili Jin glanced at Mu Nanping, then knelt down as well, "Please allow me to go to Lincheng in place of my brother."
"You want to go too??" The emperor was surprised. Before Mu Nanping left, this son came again.
Baili Jin was also surprised, "Yes?" He looked at Mu Nanping, "Is Prince Mu also going?"
Seeing Mu Nanping nod, he understood. No wonder the emperor asked him to come over quickly, so the emperor had already guessed that Uncle Mu would go to Lincheng???
The emperor looked back and forth between the two of them, his brows furrowed. If he hadn't seen the surprised expressions on Baili Jin and Mu Nanping's faces, he would have thought that they had colluded in advance.
"Tell me, what's your reason?" The emperor looked at him curiously. After all, his son likes to be carefree, and usually he would avoid seeing more memorials, but now he actually took the initiative to go to Lincheng.
Baili Jin had a sad face and resentful eyes, "It's not all because of the emperor's injury. There can't be no one there. Although I am a bit stupid, I have been with the emperor for so many years, and I have also been influenced by it. Some.
But since the Prime Minister also wants to go, then my father should agree."
He looked at the emperor, but in fact he felt very unwilling. He really didn't want to get involved!
