But without you, who can protect the peace of the people of Beichen?
Nanyue has always been eyeing us, can you bear to abandon the people of Beichen at this time?"
Mu Rufeng raised her head with red eyes: "Your Majesty!"
Yuan Hao stopped him and said: "I know that your daughter suffered such a disaster at the foot of the capital. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. Don't mention the resignation again."
Mu Rufeng lowered his head and responded: "Yes."
Yuan Hao patted his hand, then turned to the courtiers and said: "Retreat from the court."
All the officials left the hall one after another, and the last ones walking were the Prince and King Jing.
The two of them walked out of the palace gate one after another and stood on the high steps.
"Third brother, you are really capable, but do you think you have won?"
Yuan Qirui's stern voice was filled with a hint of chill. He snorted coldly and continued: "You have time to deal with me, so why not take good care of your good cousin? Don't let her hold you back."
After leaving these words, he turned around and strode away.
Yuan Shuo stood there and clenched his hands secretly. Originally, he had a chance to win the incident today and peel off a layer of the prince's skin. Who knew that the arson incident would actually involve the Yongning Houfu.
There is no winner in today's game, they both lose!
...
After Mu Rufeng returned to the mansion, she went directly to Xiao Chengyi's courtyard.
I saw Xiao Chengyi sitting on the stone table in the yard playing chess.
He walked over, sat down opposite Xiao Chengyi and said, "This game of chess is a dead end. Neither white nor black has a chance of winning."
Xiao Chengyi smiled slightly, looked at Mu Rufeng's slightly haggard face and asked, "I guess the situation in today's morning meeting will be similar to this game of chess."
Mu Rufeng said: "I'm sorry Yan Yan."
He knew clearly that the prince had evil intentions towards Yan Yan, but as a father he could not seek justice for her, and the person who set the fire had no clue.
Xiao Chengyi took back the chess pieces on the chessboard and said, "General, do you think that you can seek justice for Yan Yan even if you have sufficient evidence?"
Mu Rufeng knew that he couldn't, because they were nobles from heaven, and as long as His Majesty was willing to protect them, no one could do anything to them.
He sighed and asked, "Do you think the person who committed the arson attack was a young lady from the Yan family?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "No, the murderer probably picked up her jade pendant and deliberately framed her. Moreover, she should have a deep hatred for Yan Yan and know about my existence, so she must be someone familiar with Yan Yan."
Being able to lead Mu Yun'an to Bodhi Hall in his name means that this person knows about his existence.
This person is hiding in the dark and is very aware of Mu Yun'an's every move.
Moreover, the murderer's goal was very clear, which was to take Mu Yun'an's life. He had obviously planned it because he had prepared kerosene in advance.
The most important point is that the murderer knew that Mu Yun'an was going to Qingshui Temple.
This person is so hidden that he can't even guess who he is?
Mu Rufeng's eyes were heavy, and he felt extremely regretful and guilty. He thought for a moment and said, "If possible, I would actually like to take Yan Yan back to the border to keep her away from the battle in the capital."
Xiao Chengyi raised his eyebrows, pinched a chess piece, placed it on the chessboard and said, "The general should know that this is impossible."
No matter what, Mu Yun'an is not allowed to leave the capital. Only if she stays in the capital can His Majesty rest assured. If the Mu family moves to the border, then it is because of evil intentions.
Mu Rufeng sighed, Zhuang Heizi started playing chess with Xiao Chengyi, and saw the housekeeper hurried over and said: "General, someone from the palace has been sent to convey the order!"
