The eldest prince looked back at Mu Yun'an and saw her shouting to the people not far away: "You all come here, I have something to tell you."
Not long after, a group of people gathered here.
Mu Yun'an said: "You must all know that the third prince fell from his horse and was injured, but the regent suspected that there was something fishy about the matter, so he brought me over to check on the horse that the third prince was riding, and found a hidden weapon on the horse's belly.
But the uninformed eldest prince suspected that the matter was related to the regent. After some explanations from us, he knew that he had slandered the regent, so he was ready to apologize to him, and to express his sincerity, I specially asked you to be a witness."
The eldest prince was startled, when did he say this?
I thought there were just a few of them here, so it would be okay to ask him to apologize to Xiao Chengyi. After all, no one else would know.
But Mu Yun'an called all the people over. How could he hold his head high in front of the people if he regretted it?
After weighing the balance, the eldest prince could only bite the bullet and salute Xiao Chengyi respectfully: "I'm sorry, Prince Regent, it was me who was rude and offended you. Please forgive me. The murderer of my third brother is probably someone else."
Others have nothing to do with you, the Regent."
Xiao Chengyi was very satisfied with the eldest prince's attitude of apologizing. He said: "Even if it is a misunderstanding, and seeing that the eldest prince is so sincere, I will not pursue it any further."
The eldest prince breathed a sigh of relief. He looked back at Mu Yun'an and asked, "Is this okay?"
Mu Yun'an was quite satisfied. She smiled and said: "The eldest prince, please go back first. When I return to the royal court, I will go to see King Mobei."
The eldest prince was filled with joy and asked symbolically if he wanted to stay and help.
Mu Yun'an naturally couldn't keep them, so the eldest prince left with his men.
After he left, Xuan Du came over and asked, "Why did he surrender so quickly?"
Naturally, he knew that the eldest prince was looking for trouble. The reason why he didn't come was that he knew Xiao Chengyi could handle it. If he spoke for Xiao Chengyi, it would only make the eldest prince use the topic to his advantage.
Mu Yun'an snorted and said, "The eldest prince has put all this effort into this just because he wants to threaten me and ask me to put in a good word for him in front of King Mobei and help him get the title of heir apparent."
Xuan Du's lips twitched and he frowned and said, "The eldest prince is not that smart. Someone must be giving him some advice."
Mu Yun'an thought for a moment and said, "Could it be the fourth prince? I see that he is cunning and cunning, and he doesn't seem like a kind person."
Xuandu said: "The fourth prince is the best at flattering, and he is shrewd and double-dealing. His mother was born as a slave, so the fourth prince has never been favored by King Mobei, so he can only follow the eldest prince and help him."
Mu Yunan said: "No wonder, according to you, does the death of the third prince have anything to do with them?"
Xuan Du felt that it was probably because of the previous war between Mobei and the Central Plains and the severe drought that these princes did not dare to make small moves behind their backs.
Later, because of his appearance and the birth of the goddess, all forces began to get ready to take action, and the struggle for the throne of the prince became more and more intense.
Xiao Chengyi said: "Looking at it this way, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with it."
Mu Yun'an snorted: "This eldest prince wants to frame brother Yi to threaten me, and he doesn't even look at how much he has. I will make him suffer a little when he returns to the royal court."
Xiao Chengyi felt extremely proud after hearing her words. His Yan Yan had really grown up and she would stand up for him.
The move she made just now was very subtle. With the testimony of the people, the eldest prince couldn't go back on his words.
Xiao Chengyi smiled, stretched out his hand to hold Mu Yunan's hand and asked, "Are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?"
Mu Yun'an shook his head: "I'm not tired."
As she said this, she saw a three or four year old girl running towards her.
Mu Yun'an lowered his head and saw the pink and jade-carved little girl holding out her hand with a handful of freshly picked wild flowers: "Sister, here you go."
Mu Yun'an looked at her and felt that her heart was about to melt. She squatted down and took the flowers from the little girl's hand, then touched her head and asked, "What's your name?"
