"Do you know what it means to be given a mansion? To be successful like that?"
"On the surface, it is a residence, but in reality it is a prison sentence, and travel is easily restricted."
After all, they are two princesses. If they travel to communicate with foreign tribes and sell information about Chang'an City, can the royal family of the Tang Dynasty still be safe?
This is absolutely impossible to allow.
Xin'er can't think of this level, but Mingzhu and Sophia can.
As members of the royal family, they can still imagine the minimum awareness of these crises.
Xin'er nodded in understanding, and asked Sophia and Mingzhu.
"Then are you going tomorrow morning?"
Xin'er asked, with obvious worry on her face. Mingzhu and Sophia were both a little uncomfortable but also a little relieved.
Mingzhu and Sophia looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of determination in each other's eyes.
"go!"
Mingzhu and Sophia said in unison, with the same solemn expressions on their faces.
However, Xin'er held on to Muchuan.
"Brother Mu, you will bring your sisters back to court tomorrow, right?"
Xin'er looked at Muchuan with expectation in her eyes.
I try my best.
Muchuan wanted to say this, but after all he didn't.
This is the Tang Dynasty, not future generations, and he is not completely sure that he can bring them back.
Seeing Muchuan's face was solemn and silent, Xin'er burst into tears.
On the contrary, the two parties involved, Mingzhu and Sophia, looked calm.
"It doesn't matter. Even if we can't come back tomorrow, we will always have the chance to meet again."
"Xin'er is not afraid."
Mingzhu smiled and comforted Xin'er.
"Thank you, Xin'er, I'm very happy to be with you."
Sophia hugged Xiner, and Mingzhu also stepped forward to hug them both.
For a moment, except for Xin'er's low sobbing, the yard was extremely quiet.
The atmosphere was also extremely depressing.
Don't worry, I will bring Mingzhu and Sophia back no matter what tomorrow.
Muchuan clenched his fists and said firmly to himself.
The Shangshu Mansion was relatively close to the palace, but the housekeeper still had people prepare meals in the dark early in the morning.
Mingzhu, Sophia and Xin'er were three girls who lived together last night. Early this morning, Mingzhu and Sophia got up, and Xin'er also got up.
None of the three had any appetite, so they ate a little casually. Xin'er reluctantly sent Mingzhu and Sophia out.
Muchuan stood at the door. It was still dark, and his tall figure was cast with a halo under the light at the door.
"Brother Mu"
Xin'er called out, her voice not as cheerful as before, which made Muchuan feel uncomfortable.
He nodded to Xiner and personally helped Mingzhu and the others get into the carriage.
The carriage started, and Xiner couldn't see the carriage until she was persuaded to go back by the housekeeper.
The atmosphere in the carriage was a bit depressing.
"I have handed over the note. Your Majesty knows that you will arrive today."
Muchuan said.
"Thank you, Brother Mu, you helped us a lot."
Mingzhu said with a smile. She always liked to comfort people with such a smile, but this time Muchuan didn't feel it and felt relieved.
"I can't stop you from getting married, but I will try my best to let you get married when you want to."
Muchuan said solemnly to the two of them.
This is the first time Muchuan has spoken to them about their future, and at such a heavy time.
Mingzhu and Sophia nodded, and at the same time, something quietly extinguished deep in their hearts.
We arrived at the palace soon, and because we had greeted them in advance, Mingzhu and Sophia were arranged to wait in the side hall.
Muchuan watched them go to the side hall safely, took a deep breath, cheered up and went to court.
There were already many ministers in the court, three or five gathered together. When they saw Muchuan coming, they all gathered around.
"Master Mu is finally here!"
"Master Mu, has he recovered?"
"I heard that Lord Mu has traveled to many places, so you have to tell me and the others carefully!"
Muchuan responded with a smile.
"Humph, the treasury is empty, and some people are still traveling around!"
A discordant voice sounded. Muchuan looked over and saw that it was someone from the Ministry of War.
There has always been a great conflict between the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War in the Sixth Ministry is in charge of military supplies, so it often has to ask the Ministry of Household Affairs for money.
However, the rules of the Ministry of Household Affairs are strict, and funds need to be approved at different levels. The Ministry of War uses the excuse that the Ministry of Household Affairs deliberately delays disbursement, and has to apply for more fees every time.
The Hubu did not agree, so the lawsuit would naturally go to His Majesty. His Majesty broke it off once or twice, feeling that he was needed by the two Ministries, and was very happy.
The more times I go there, the more I feel annoyed. I also feel a little resentful towards the military department that only goes in and out.
The Ministry of War attributed all this to the lack of cooperation from the Ministry of Household Affairs. This situation continued from Emperor Gaozu to Taizong's generation, and even Muchuan suffered greatly from it.
As soon as the voice of the Ministry of War rang out, the people from other ministries who had been surrounding Muchuan just now dispersed in embarrassment.
I'm afraid that if the two parties fight, I will be affected.
"I wonder what evidence Lin Shangshu has to prove that I am traveling around?"
Muchuan didn't like verbal disputes, but he had to speak out against the Ministry of War, which always wanted to suppress Hubu.
If you don't speak out, it means you have no position. In the future, the allocation of the Ministry of Household Affairs will be easily manipulated by others.
"Does this still need proof?
Who doesn’t know that Master Mu spent all the money and brought back three young women?”
"Three women?
This is not like going abroad for business, this is obviously it.
"
"I heard that Master Mu has returned from Chang'an a long time ago and is unable to go to court because he is ill!"
"Is it ready now?
Master Mu is really loved by His Majesty!"
Of course, the word "love" was said in such a strange way that anyone present could tell that the emperor mistook fools for talents.
People who had been good friends with Muchuan in the past were very angry on Muchuan's behalf when they heard this.
"The three women were all rescued by Lord Mu. Why didn't Shangshu Lin say anything?"
"Master Mu was injured while rescuing people. Why didn't anyone say anything about the injury he brought back to Chang'an City?"
"It's impossible that we only heard about the injury, but not how it happened, right?"
The people on Muchuan's side were not weak in fighting ability. They said a few words and suppressed the momentum of Lin Shangshu's side.
When Muchuan saw that the other party had shut up, he didn't intend to say anything more, but Lin Shangshu was a death-seeking person.
"Since you're injured, you should call a doctor. Why didn't Lord Mu's Shangshu Mansion call for a doctor even once?"
When Muchuan heard this, he worked for a long time, but Lin Shangshu did not just complain casually.
Have you been watching him since he entered Chang'an City?
Muchuan couldn't help but feel lucky that he had brought the two princesses with him, otherwise when His Majesty came later, Lin Shangshu would definitely accuse him in court of secretly harboring a foreign princess.
Although he reported it to the emperor in advance, he downplayed the matter in his notes. Who knows if His Majesty would have other ideas after listening to Lin Shangshu's words.
But he was really in trouble right now. Because he had brought medicine from an old doctor in Shangzhou, he had never seen the doctor at home.
At most, the housekeeper would ask someone to take a prescription and fill it up with some medicine.
