Curiously walking to the window, Mu Yan pushed open the window and looked down.
In the quiet courtyard, there were only two figures standing there. One was Feng Ruowu and the other was someone Mu Yan was also very familiar with, Liu Yichen.
Seeing both of them looking up at him with blushing faces, Mu Yan couldn't help but reveal a strange smile on his lips. He smiled lightly and stepped back. Mu Yan quickly put on his clothes, washed his face with cold water and then appeared.
In front of Feng Ruowu and Liu Yichen
"Wei Chen has met your empress." There was a hint of gloom in his eyes. Liu Yichen saluted Mu Yan respectfully. His cold tone and unfamiliar expression made Mu Yan only smile and nodded.
"Ruowu, what's going on?" Calling Feng Ruowu's name softly, Mu Yan asked in confusion: "Did he offend you?"
"Hmph" glanced at Liu Yichen disdainfully, Feng Ruowu sneered sarcastically and said: "Things without eyes!"
Feng Ruowu's words reminded Mu Yan of what happened in the past. Was Feng Ruowu resenting Liu Yichen for scaring Xi'er and Heng'er on horseback? Mu Yan thought about it while leaning towards Feng Ruowu's side.
Standing next to Feng Ruowu, Mu Yan asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
"He bumped into me without his eyes, and he blamed me for not standing in the right place! Yan'er, do you think he deserves to be scolded?!" Angrily glared at Liu Yichen, Feng Ruowu expressed unabashed admiration for
Yan expressed his dissatisfaction, "Let's forget it once. I thought he was in a hurry and I didn't have the same understanding as him. But today it is clearly his fault and he still dares to argue with me!"
After a pause, Feng Ruowu opened her eyes wide, looked at Liu Yichen with disdain, and continued: "What are you looking at? Just you! Do you have an opinion? What do you want to say?"
Liu Yichen couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved by Feng Ruowu's words. After all, it wasn't a good sight for a grown man to have a woman scold him constantly in broad daylight. But he was really no match for Feng Ruowu's.
That stern mouth and not fighting back? It seems that Feng Ruowu will never give up.
Silently seeing Liu Yichen's tangled expression, Mu Yan raised his hand to stop Feng Ruowu's verbal attack, looked at Liu Yichen with stern eyes, and asked softly: "Second brother, I know you
As an official of the imperial court, you have to deal with a lot of things, so you have to think about important things while walking. But, why did you come to my Ziyuan Pavilion?"
Mu Yan's words reminded Liu Yichen again of his purpose of coming here and he lowered his eyes. Liu Yichen slowly opened his mouth and revealed the fact that shocked Mu Yan: "The emperor asked Wei Chen to come here to see him."
Xia Yifeng and Liu Yichen?
Standing there in surprise, Mu Yan did not realize for a moment that Liu Yichen and Murong Zixuan were standing together? When did he turn to Xia Yifeng?
Quickly sorting out his chaotic thoughts, Mu Yan recalled Liu Yichen's identity - the son of the prime minister, he must be an indispensable official in the court now? Could it be that when Xia Yifeng usurped the throne, Liu Yichen chose to stand beside him?
He went to Xia Yifeng's side and parted ways with Murong Zixuan?
The unbearable fact made Mu Yan feel a touch of sadness in his heart. The last time they met, Liu Yichen still warned him sincerely to stay away from Murong Zixuan. But this time, he was no longer Murong Zixuan's second brother, but Xia Yifeng.
He was just a minion who came and went when he was called. If he wasn't someone close to Xia Yifeng, wouldn't Xia Yifeng directly call him to Ziyuan Pavilion?
The corner of his mouth rose bitterly. Mu Yan didn't say anything more. He just dragged Feng Ruowu back to the room and sat at the table with him. Mu Yan looked at Feng Ruowu's puzzled expression and explained softly: "Liu Yichen
, I used to be sworn sworn friends with me, Murong Zixuan and Xu Qingyu. He was the second brother that Murong Zixuan always respected. Unexpectedly, he is now standing on Xia Yifeng's front. Officialdom is really a place that is changing rapidly. I have been away for the past five years.
Here, maybe... too many things really happened."
"Yan'er" looked at Mu Yan's depressed expression uneasily. Thinking of the topic she and Mu Yan discussed last night, Feng Ruowu asked cautiously: "Have you thought about what you should do?"
"Yes." Mu Yan nodded affirmatively and smiled brightly. "After the matter is found out, if Tong'er's death has nothing to do with Zixuan, then I will definitely leave this prison with all my strength and leave with him. If... if
He really killed Tong'er." The smile on his face slowly disappeared, and he sighed softly. Mu Yan continued: "I won't let Tong'er die in peace. Even if I can't kill him, I will never do it.
Got together with him.”
"What about Xia Yifeng? What are you going to do?" Holding her chin with her hand, Feng Ruowu thought of the most difficult man to deal with.
"As an emperor, it is unavoidable for a harem of three thousand people to serve the same husband with others. I can't do it with three thousand weak water and only take a scoop, and I don't expect Xia Yifeng to be able to do it. So, I won't
Even if I'm not with Zixuan if I choose him, I won't stay by Xia Yifeng's side and be one of his thousands of women who give me love. I don't want it." Standing up, Mu Yan finished his words with stern eyes.
Viewpoint Seeing Feng Ruowu nodding in agreement, Mu Yan couldn't help but added silently in his heart
"And before I leave here, I will definitely help you find a good family and watch you marry happily..."
After taking Xi'er Heng'er to eat something, Mu Yan played with them in the yard as always. Liu Yichen, who came here under Xia Yifeng's order but had no trace of Xia Yifeng, had to be alone.
It was close to noon, and Xia Yifeng came belatedly and led the huge crowd behind him into Ziyuan Pavilion. Xia Yifeng looked deeply at the three people sitting on the grass, panting from playing, and then nodded towards Liu Yichen.
, said in a brisk tone: "My dear, there is no need to salute, just go into the room and talk."
After saying that, Xia Yifeng took Liu Yichen and prepared to walk into the house.
"Your Majesty" unexpectedly called Xia Yifeng, and Mu Yan looked at him with flickering eyes, "The common people want to leave the palace for something important, please allow Your Majesty's permission."
A trace of anger flashed through his calm eyes. Looking at Mu Yan's firm expression, Xia Yifeng suddenly wanted to ask: "Is the important thing you said about going to meet Murong Zixuan?" But before he could ask a question,
Mu Yan added another sentence to himself
"If the emperor is worried, you can send someone to follow me. I will definitely come back before dark." Mu Yan calmly negotiated with Xia Yifeng about leaving the palace. Mu Yan had no intention of concealing his whereabouts.
There are many loyal subordinates around Cao Min. If Cao Min never shows up, I'm afraid they will risk sneaking into the palace and end up as 'assassins' when they arrive, which would be bad."
The corner of his mouth moved. Listening to Mu Yan's stern words, Xia Yifeng turned around and nodded slowly, "Ask Xiao Ziluo to go with you. If you don't come back before dark, you will bear the consequences."
