"Your Majesty is unaware that I had brief contact with Lord Mu in Shangzhou."
"Master Mu is not keen on women, and with his intelligence, he will definitely not have any other entanglements with foreign princesses."
"On the contrary, he can carry it more clearly than others.
As for why he wants to help the two princesses, from what I can see, Your Majesty does not need to think too much."
"I have been impressed by Master Mu's magnanimity, let alone the two princesses."
As he spoke, the prince approached Li Shimin and whispered about Muchuan's fearless rescue of Fang Cheng.
"He even went to rescue the little girl's brother without hesitation, let alone the two princesses who had known each other for a long time and were in trouble together."
"I feel that even if they are not princesses from a foreign country, but women from the Tang Dynasty, Lord Mu will still stand up for them."
After the prince finished speaking, he looked at Li Shimin intently.
He hoped that Li Shimin could understand that there may not be such pure friendship among the royal family, but there is such a friendship among ordinary people.
Li Shimin fell into deep thought, thinking of the days when he, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui worked together.
Before the Xuanwumen incident, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were also persecuted. How much did he hate it at that time?
Now his ministers are experiencing similar things, and he has the right to prevent them.
Besides, Muchuan did not hide anything from him, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He could not bear to suspect such a loyal minister. This was an insult to his minister.
"The prince really likes Muchuan."
The solemnity on Li Shimin's face disappeared and was replaced by a relaxed smile.
"Your Majesty's appreciation for Master Mu is not even as high as mine."
The prince smiled and held Li Shimin in his arms, and Li Shimin smiled.
"Okay, let the two princesses go back and forth wherever they go.
Let's go and build the princess's mansion."
Li Shimin waved his hand and told the prince to step back.
"It's your Majesty! You are truly a wise king!"
The county prince said and left happily. He had to hurry up and tell Muchuan the good news.
Li Shimin took the repeating crossbow and fired it at a tree farther away, "Bang!"
Hit the target again.
Outside the court, Muchuan and the two princesses were still waiting quietly.
"Master Mu, you can go back."
The prince walked up to Muchuan and said calmly.
"Prince."
Muchuan bowed calmly but did not leave.
Muchuan could not see anything from his expression, and the two princesses were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
"Brother Mu, do we have to stay?"
Mingzhu grabbed Muchuan's arm anxiously, not even daring to finish her sentence.
Sophia also turned pale.
"Two princesses, don't be nervous, His Majesty asked you to go back with Master Mu."
The county prince originally wanted to make a joke with Muchuan, but unexpectedly he frightened the two princesses, so he quickly explained.
Mingzhu and Sophia suddenly became happy after hearing this. They held each other's hands and couldn't hide the joy on their faces.
Muchuan felt much more relaxed and bowed deeply to the prince.
"Thank you so much, Prince."
The two princesses also quickly saluted the prince and thanked him.
"It's all small things, don't take it to heart."
The prince said with a smile.
"However, His Majesty has given permission for the construction of the Princess Mansion, and the two princesses will still live there in the future."
The prince should try his best to tell them everything he knows, and it would be good to give them more time to digest the news.
"This is enough, we are very satisfied."
Mingzhu said sincerely.
"It would be great if you could accept it. It would not be in vain for Master Mu to take such a risk for you."
Even now, when the county prince thinks about the scene at that time, he is sweating for Muchuan.
Others may still have illusions about the royal family, but he himself has a very thorough understanding of the royal family.
"Thank you very much, Prince, for your kind words in front of Your Majesty. I will keep them in my heart."
Muchuan knew that His Majesty was able to agree so readily instead of forcing him to stand for several hours. It must have been the county prince who quickly found Li Shimin and asked Li Shimin to relent.
Moreover, without the prince saying anything good, even if Li Shimin agreed, he would definitely be very dissatisfied with him.
But now it seems that His Majesty does not have such a big opinion against him.
"It's good to know. Next time I go to your place, just make me some more food."
The prince said with a smile.
"must."
Muchuan responded, he did not expect that the dishes of later generations would be so popular in the Tang Dynasty.
Muchuan took the two princesses to say goodbye to the prince, and then happily left the palace.
The carriage of Shangshu Mansion had already been waiting at the door. When the coachman and the boy saw Master Mu coming out, they felt a little sad for the princess. Then they saw the two princesses and couldn't help but feel happy.
"Sir, princess, get in the car quickly, you can go home soon!"
The boy said excitedly, holding the stool in his hand and forgetting to put it down.
When Mingzhu and Sophia saw the familiar people in the Shangshu Mansion, the nervousness they had felt in the palace completely dissipated.
"Okay, let's go home.
Sister Sophia, let’s go home together.”
Mingzhu smiled and said to Sophia.
"Well, go home."
Both of them were a little excited, and even their eye circles were red.
They got into the carriage hand in hand and sat on the stable carriage, feeling at ease.
Muchuan did not disturb the two little sisters. He sat quietly in the carriage and thought about what happened today. There were no mistakes before he finally felt tired and leaned on the carriage to take a nap.
"I wonder how Xin'er will feel when she sees us."
Mingzhu said with a smile.
"Why don't we get out of the car later and see how she reacts."
Sophia came up with an idea.
Mingzhu didn't expect Sophia to have such a naughty side, and nodded immediately like a little girl.
Thinking of Xin'er's possible reaction, both of them couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.
Muchuan couldn't help but curl up his lips after hearing this.
Soon the carriage arrived in front of Mu Mansion.
Before the car stopped, I heard Xin'er's voice calling from the gate.
"It's back, it's back!"
"Where are Brother Mu's two sisters?"
Xin'er stood there with an obviously lonely expression on her face.
Muchuan sighed, shook his head, and walked away with his hands behind his back.
"But, Brother Mu, you promised me, yes, yes."
Xin'er couldn't talk anymore. She knew that there were things that Brother Mu couldn't do in front of the imperial power.
But Xin'er didn't want to believe that this was true. She said goodbye to her two sisters clearly in the morning!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The two sisters will come back!"
Xin'er said as she climbed onto the carriage, opened the curtain, and faced the worried faces of Mingzhu and Sophia.
Mingzhu and Sophia never expected that they could see Xin'er with tears streaming down her face.
What they imagined was that when Xin'er was unhappy, they would appear again and make her happy instantly.
But they didn't expect Xin'er's reaction to be so violent. What's more important, Xin'er actually cried.
Mingzhu and Sophia looked at each other, it was over, they were in trouble.
