"The Empress couldn't wait for a long time in Weiyang Palace. She thought something had happened to you, so she brought someone to look for you. County Lord, are you okay? Why are you injured while covering your arm?"
Everyone saw Mu Yun'an covering her arm, while Princess Jiahe still held a whip in her hand. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that she was being beaten.
The empress stood up and asked with a cold face: "What's going on? Jiahe, what did you do to Huihe County Lord?"
Mu Yun'an walked over with his arms covered, bowed his knees and saluted Queen Fu:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. My daughter accidentally fell and hurt her arm. Fortunately, I met Princess Jiahe.
When Princess Jiahe saw that my daughter had soiled her dress, she was afraid of offending the empress, so she was about to take her to her palace to change her clothes. Then she delayed her and hoped that the empress would forgive me."
She slowly let go of her hand and saw that there was some dust on the clothes where she covered it, but there were no traces left by the whip.
The queen's expression changed and she glanced at Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu lowered her head in horror, feeling a little frightened and unsure of what was going on.
"Why did you kid come here? Where is the eunuch who led the way?"
The Queen came over and held Mu Yunan's hand affectionately and asked her.
Mu Yun'an said: "The eunuch was so sad and frightened when he saw me falling that he asked the imperial doctor. I thought it was nothing serious and didn't want to keep the queen waiting, but unexpectedly he got lost, and that's when he met Princess Jiahe."
The Queen's face was a little chapped when she heard this, but in front of everyone she quickly restrained her expression and asked with concern: "Why are you so careless? Is the injury serious?"
Mu Yun'an shook his head: "Thank you for your concern, my lady is fine."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard the voice of Mingxi Emperor Yuan Hao coming from behind: "I heard that Girl An was lost, but have you found her?"
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly knelt down to pay tribute to His Majesty. Yuan Hao came over and waved his hand. Seeing Mu Yun'an standing here well, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Girl An, are you okay?"
Mu Yun'an said hurriedly: "Reporting to your Majesty, I just accidentally lost my way. I didn't expect that it was my fault that I alerted Your Majesty and the Queen."
"It's okay."
Yuan Hao nodded, and he was frightened just now when he heard that the palace servants came to report that Miss Mu's daughter was missing.
If something happens to this girl again at this time, then he, as the emperor, will not be able to explain to his ministers.
Fortunately it was a false alarm.
But his intuition told him that what happened today was probably unusual.
He looked at his daughter with cold eyes and asked, "Why is Jiahe here too?"
Yuan Jiahe was already a little panicked because so many people were suddenly alerted. No matter how stupid she was, she knew that she had messed up other people's plans.
She was a little flustered, so she heard Mu Yun'an say:
"Back to Your Majesty, Princess Jiahe knew that my daughter was entering the palace today, so she came specifically to look for me.
She knew that I had some unpleasantness with Sister Ruoling at Qingshui Temple, so she apologized to me on behalf of Sister Ruoling, hoping to resolve the conflict between us.
In fact, I also feel that Sister Ruoling was wronged, and she was definitely not responsible for the fire at Qingshui Temple. I believe that Your Majesty will find the murderer and give us justice."
Mu Yun'an turned to look at the pale-faced Yuan Jiahe, and asked in a faint voice: "Do you think so, Princess Jiahe?"
Yuan Jiahe reacted, nodded hastily and said: "Yes, Erchen just wanted to explain it clearly to Sister An, and hoped that she would not misunderstand Sister Ruoling. Unexpectedly, Sister An was very sensible and knew that the Qingshui Temple matter had nothing to do with Sister Ruoling.
"
She took Mu Yun'an's hand and said, "Er Chen and Sister An hit it off immediately and like her very much."
Mu Yun'an smiled and said: "Yes, the princess was very enthusiastic and just now she made a fuss about asking the minister to whip her, which almost made the queen misunderstand."
