As she spoke, she said sternly: "Someone, take this palace maid down and interrogate her severely."
Mu Yun'an knew that the Queen was planning to let innocent people take the blame again, so she took a deep breath and secretly clenched her hands and said, "Wait a minute."
Queen Han was stunned and said in a unhappy tone: "What does the county master mean by this?"
Mu Yun'an raised his eyes: "Today is the Shangyuan Festival, which is supposed to be a good day for everyone to celebrate. Don't let such trivial matters disturb your mood. I only took a sip of this tea. Fortunately, there is no big problem.
Let’s just drop this matter, there is no need to continue the investigation, lest more innocent people be implicated.”
The first few sentences Mu Yun'an said were quite pleasant, but Empress Han was not happy with the last sentence. What do you mean by preventing more innocent people from being implicated?
It was clear that Mu Yun'an meant something, and she was angry but was about to start when she heard the eldest princess say: "The county master is very considerate, since she has said so, let this matter be dropped, and no one needs to mention it again, okay
Okay, let’s continue eating.”
With that said, she picked up the wine glass in front of her and said to Empress Han: "Sister-in-law, I want to toast you."
Empress Han knew that the eldest princess wanted to put things to rest, so she could only endure her anger and force out a smile, pick up the wine glass and drink it down in one gulp.
The banquet returned to laughter and laughter, but the atmosphere finally changed.
In the Zhengqian Palace, the ministers and His Majesty were also rejoicing together, but Yuan Hao only came back to his senses after returning. How could Jiahe appear in such a remote Guangning Palace when he was supposed to be in the Qingyue Palace?
Yuan Hao finally felt uneasy, so he sent Zhou Quan to find out the news. Soon he came back with news that surprised him.
Jiahe never left Qingyue Palace, but Mu Yunan and Xin Ruyi returned to Qingyue Palace together and investigated the matter of adding croton powder to the tea.
So, it was not Jiahe but Mu Yun'an who broke into Guangning Palace? Then she heard everything?
Yuan Hao was irritated. Not only did he not get Xin Ruyi, but he was also bumped into. He didn't know how the eldest princess did things. Didn't she say that she would take Mu Yun'an to Weiyang Palace? How could she come to Guangning Palace?
What Yuan Hao does is still very secretive. Except for the eldest princess and the eunuch Zhou Quan around him, no one knows about his special habits. Now that there is Mu Yun'an, he feels that it is a hidden danger.
He could kill Mu Yun'an to avoid future troubles, but Mu Rufeng was difficult to deal with. Now that Nanyue was eyeing him, he had to rely on Mu Rufeng to guard the southern border, so the Mu family could not easily move.
But if he is not in the capital, it will be easier!
Yuan Hao gradually began to think about it. He raised his eyes and glanced at Mu Rufeng, who was sitting not far away and was drinking, and then gave Zhou Quan a few instructions.
Not long after, a guard hurried in, holding a letter in his hand and saying: "Your Majesty, five hundred miles is urgent. The military situation in the south has changed."
Yuan Hao put down the wine glass in his hand: "Send it up."
Zhou Quan stepped down the steps and handed the military report in the hands of the guards up. Yuan Hao took it and unfolded it. His expression changed and he suddenly stood up and said: "Mu Aiqing, Nanyue is afraid that Nanyue will start a war with us again. I have ordered
You must immediately organize your troops and rush back to the southern border immediately to prevent Nanyue from attacking."
Mu Rufeng stood up, rolled up his sleeves, saluted, and responded loudly: "I accept your order!"
Because of the military situation in the southern border, Yuan Hao had no intention of Yan Yin and broke up the banquet early, and then left Mu Rufeng in the imperial study to discuss the military situation in the southern border with him.
Mu Rufeng had no doubts. After all, he had known that the southern border was not peaceful, but he did not expect to leave Beijing so soon. Due to the urgent military situation, he was afraid that he would not even be able to return home.
