But since it was the imperial brother who ordered it, he could only do it.
The emperor's scrutinizing gaze fell on his son and then on Mu Nanping.
Mu Nanping was very calm, and he had no plans. If his daughter hadn't begged him, he wouldn't have wanted to go.
Finally, Mu Nanping and Baili Jin walked out of the imperial study together.
Looking at the closed door, Bailijin breathed a sigh of relief and stretched.
"Uncle Mu, I give this to you!" This is the biological father of the future emperor's sister-in-law, and the emperor's brother is so precious to Mu Qingyan, so he must be well taken care of.
Mu Nanping did not refuse. The two walked side by side.
"Did the prince ask the prince to come?" Suddenly, Mu Nanping spoke.
How could it be such a coincidence that as soon as he arrived at the palace, Baili Jin arrived with the same purpose.
Baili Jin nodded honestly, "Originally I was going too, but I didn't expect Uncle Mu to go too."
He turned back and looked at Mu Nanping curiously: "If Uncle Mu goes, what will Qingyan and the others do?"
"It doesn't matter, Xuan'er and Father Wang are here." His children are very worry-free and don't need to pay too much attention.
Oh, okay.
Baili Jin had nothing to say, and they separated after sending Mu Nanping to the palace gate.
Upon hearing the news of his return, Mu Qingyan quickly ran to the gate and waited.
Mu Nanping opened the car curtain and saw his daughter looking at him eagerly, and his heart suddenly softened.
He jumped off the carriage and walked towards her.
"Dad, did the Holy One give you a hard time?" Mu Qingyan quickly came over and looked him up and down.
Mu Nanping rubbed her head lovingly and led her inside, "No, King Jin also arrived on the way."
Bailijin also went? Mu Qingyan was stunned for a moment and then quickly realized that Bailiyou must have asked him to help his father.
Thinking about it, she felt warm in her heart.
Mu Nanping knew his daughter Mo Ruofu, and when he saw her expression, he knew what she was thinking, and he was both pleased and emotional for a moment.
It can be seen that the prince really cares about Yan'er, otherwise he would not help him. What is worrying is that the emperor's attitude towards the Mu family is completely opposite to the prince's, and he does not know whether trouble will arise in the future.
"The Holy One has agreed to let my father go to Lincheng."
Mu Qingyan lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Bai Lijin will go too, right?"
Bailiyou was injured and could not leave the palace, so the only suitable candidate was Bailijin. Besides, Bailiyou was very concerned about the flood in Lincheng and could not remain indifferent.
Mu Nanping nodded, "Let's go."
As the two of them walked, Mu Qingyan asked, "Did the Holy One tell you when to set off?"
"Three days later."
So fast? Mu Qingyan was stunned for a moment and would go in three days.
Suddenly, she felt a little sad. After all, she was the one who pushed her father out with her own hands.
Seeing her gloomy expression, Mu Nanping comforted her softly: "It's okay. Daddy will be back soon. You need to take good care of yourself. Remember to take Mu Qi and the others with you when you go out. You are not allowed to sneak out alone or follow your brother, you know?"
?”
Normally, Mu Nanping's image in the palace is quite majestic. He is a replica of the old prince Mu's style when he was young. In addition, he was originally a general, and his murderous aura always scares the maids.
The maids who were passing by were shocked when they saw Mu Qingyan, but they thought it was normal.
After all, the prince is still very gentle when facing his family.
It's cold on the outside and hot on the inside, right?
"By the way." Mu Qingyan stopped, "Should you tell your mother about this?"
She doesn't know yet.
"Don't let your mother know yet." Mu Nanping sighed. He hadn't figured out how to explain it to Rou'er yet. If he did, it would definitely make her worried.
The two of them were talking, completely unaware of the person standing behind them.
"Don't let me know what?"
The sudden sound startled the two of them, and then they both turned around and looked at Shangguan Rou, whose face was not very good-looking. Mu Qingyan coughed lightly.
He walked over and held her arm, calling her affectionately: "Mother~"
Shangguanrou pursed her lips, "Don't do this." After saying that, she glared at her husband, "What else do you want to hide from me?"
Mu Nanping smiled bitterly, "It was there originally, but now it's gone, and you all know it." He didn't have much say in front of his wife.
"You!" Shangguan Rou's face was filled with anger, and then he lost his temper and said aggrievedly: "You hide it from me whenever something happens. Are you afraid that I will say something bad?"
It had been like this ever since she married him, reporting good things but not bad things, and the good guy made her frightened.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Mu Qingyan quickly smoothed things over, "Mother, please listen to your daughter's explanation."
Shangguan Rou interrupted her, "I won't listen to your explanation." She looked at her husband in front of her, feeling aggrieved.
Well, then she really had no choice. Mu Qingyan cast a helpless look at her father and looked at him helplessly.
Dad, it’s up to you!
Seeing his wife about to cry, Mu Nanping had a headache. He walked over and put his arms around her shoulders, comforting her softly: "Okay, it's my fault. I didn't tell you. I was wrong. I won't dare to do it next time."
Shangguan Rou glared at him dissatisfied, is there a next time?
Mu Nanping almost raised his hands and surrendered, "Everything you say is right." Really, after so many years of marriage, this is still the case.
Mu Nanping himself didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Everyone thought he was vicious, but the one who was most afraid of him was Rou'er.
Even though she is weak and weak, in theory, she can be silenced by just opening her mouth.
Mu Qingyan, who was pulled aside, seemed to have become a transparent person.
She knew that her father and mother loved each other, but to be able to love each other like this...
To be honest, this was the first time she had seen it with her own eyes.
For a moment, Mu Qingyan felt a little envious. In her previous life, she only followed Baili Qi. Who knew that they just wanted to use her urgently? If it weren't for that face and her identity, Baili Qi wouldn't even bother to look at her.
So she was always the one taking the initiative, so she was never like her father and mother.
But in this life...she and Bailiyou should be happy.
Mu Nanping persuaded Shangguan Rouggong to be cured after much talk and repeated assurances. When he turned around, he saw that his daughter was still standing.
Suddenly I felt my old face turn red and embarrassed.
The father and daughter chatted for a while, knowing that he still had something to do, so Mu Qingyan didn't bother him much, chatted a few words and left.
However, there seems to be nothing to do in Huiliuyan Pavilion. The weather is getting hotter, so let’s go for a walk in the garden.
"Fenxiang, let's go." The corners of her lips raised slightly. Now she came out with only Fenxiang. Mu Qi still wanted to supervise their training in the courtyard.
Fenxiang was puzzled, "Miss, are you going out?"
Mu Qingyan nodded, "Go for a walk in the garden." She couldn't go out now. It would take a few days for the bandages on her hands to be removed. It would be too obvious for her to go out like this.
