The Queen's face looked a little ugly when she heard this. She secretly clenched her hands and explained with a smile.
"I am just too worried. When we came over just now, we heard a scream and saw Jiahe holding a whip in his hand. We thought something had happened."
Mu Yun'an replied respectfully: "It's all my fault that I am timid. When I saw a small snake wrapped around Princess Jiahe's whip, I thought it was real, so I lost my temper and the Queen misunderstood."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Rufeng stood up and added: "Yan Yan has been most afraid of snakes since she was a child."
Everyone suddenly realized that the scream just now was a misunderstanding.
The queen was choked by the words of the father and daughter.
But I heard Concubine Yan sneer:
"The Queen is really anxious for something to happen, right? You come up indiscriminately and ask what Jiahe did?
For those who don’t know, they think that the concubine’s daughter is here to bully County Lord Huihe? If County Lord Huihe hadn’t personally clarified the matter, I’m afraid Jiahe wouldn’t be able to clean it up even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
But what I’m more curious about is how the Empress found her way here. Could it be that the Empress already knew that County Master Huihe and Jiahe were here and wanted to take us to see some good show?”
The Queen's face darkened when she heard this, and she yelled angrily: "How dare you doubt me?"
However, Concubine Yan was not afraid of her majesty and raised her head: "I don't dare, but you, the Queen, know what you have done!"
"enough!"
Yuan Hao was really troubled when he saw the two of them arguing again.
He scolded and said with a dark face: "What's the point of making such noise? Shut up!"
Both the Queen and Concubine Yan were silent.
Mu Rufeng had a sullen face, cupped her hands towards Yuan Hao and said, "Your Majesty, please Rong Chen, please take Yan Yan back first."
Yuan Hao felt that his face was almost lost in front of his ministers, so he nodded and agreed to his request.
Before leaving, Mu Yun'an bowed to everyone, and finally said to Yuan Jiahe: "Your Highness, don't forget the agreement between us."
She blinked at her and followed Mu Rufeng.
Yuan Hao was doubtful about what happened today, but he was also happy to see his daughter and Mu Yun'an getting along well.
He has always been partial to Yongning Houfu. Now that Yongning Houfu is involved in the fire at Qingshui Temple, many pairs of eyes are watching.
Unexpectedly, Mu Yun'an would personally speak out to clear the grievances of the Yongning Marquis today. It was really unexpected.
He really has to wait and see who among the Han family and the Yan family has the ability to win over the Mu family!
The farce ended here, and everyone dispersed.
Inside the Yuxiu Palace.
After Concubine Yan came back with Yuan Jiahe, she retreated from the palace.
She sat on the imperial concubine's couch and looked at her daughter with a cold and stern voice: "Tell me, what is going on?"
Yuan Jiahe had rarely seen her mother-in-law be so strict. In addition, she had been frightened just now. When her legs went weak, she knelt on the ground and said: "Mother-in-law, I am so stupid. I was almost tricked!"
Concubine Yan suddenly stood up after hearing these words: "Tell it truthfully!"
Yuan Jiahe lowered his head and said: "It was Caizhu, the palace maid next to me, who instigated me and told me that Mu Yun'an was going to the palace today to thank me, and also said a lot of bad things about her.
When I was angry, I wanted to teach Mu Yun'an a lesson, so I had her taken to the vicinity of Leng Palace."
