There's really nothing I can do, it's so annoying.
Just when I was about to accept my fate, I saw a lantern floating over, and the female official's majestic voice sounded: "Who is there!"
Then, I saw Queen Zou bringing a group of palace people over, carrying food boxes in their hands.
Eunuch Jin was so excited that he almost shed tears: "The Queen..."
Queen Zou came over quickly. Seeing this scene, she asked strangely: "What's going on?"
Eunuch Jin hurriedly told what happened.
Empress Zou gave Mu Yunhan a comforting look, then personally broke away Aunt Ying's hand that was holding the corner of Mu Yunhan's clothes, and said gently, "Don't do this."
"Since Your Majesty has asked Mrs. Anguo to handle it, there must be something urgent."
"The Imperial Grandmother wants to see Mrs. Anguo for something. Just ask her to finish the errand and then announce it."
"Right now, national affairs are still important. I believe that the Imperial Grandmother will be able to sympathize with His Majesty's difficulties."
Aunt Ying can fight against Eunuch Jin, but she cannot fight against the Lord of the Sixth Palace.
What's more, Queen Zou's attitude was amiable and she assured her with certainty: "It's too late today. Tomorrow the Imperial Palace will personally apologize to the Imperial Grandmother."
Aunt Ying had no choice but to bow her head in frustration and retreat silently.
Mu Yunhan saluted Queen Zou and thanked her: "Thank you, Queen, for rescuing the siege."
Queen Zou looked at Mu Yunhan carefully under the light and said, "I really didn't expect such a terrible thing to happen. Seeing that you are okay, I feel relieved."
Her words were caring and her expression was kind and approachable. Mu Yunhan didn't know whether she was sincere or fake, so he could only express his gratitude.
Empress Zou didn't say much: "You can go back. In a few days, my women's class will open and I'll ask you to come and teach."
Mu Yunhan bowed his head and retreated. Behind him, he heard Queen Zou telling the palace attendants: "Keep an eye on everything and don't let Mrs. An Guo be disturbed again."
Back at the Priest's Palace, Mu Yunhan took a few bites of rice and went to the dungeon to see Elder Wu and the four prisoners.
No wooden tags were found on the four prisoners, but they all behaved silently and stubbornly.
Ever since he was caught, he has kept his mouth shut and refused to say anything. Even if he was dealt with by Elder Wu, he would remain silent.
Elder Wu is not good at extracting confessions through torture and there is nothing he can do about it.
Mu Yunhan was not good at it either. After looking around, he decided not to damage the person, lest the emperor send someone to take over and not be able to hand it over.
Now that she is here, she also stops by to see Mu Yao.
The room Mu Yao lived in was the best room in the entire dungeon. It had a very tall window that let in sunlight and moonlight.
Mu Yunhan walked to the door and saw Mu Yao sitting in the moonlight braiding her hair.
There was no light in the cell, so she couldn't see clearly what Mu Yao looked like, but she thought it was pretty good, so she didn't plan to call her Mu Yao.
Mu Yao noticed her, got up and walked to the door and said calmly: "You are here, can you ask the medical elder to take a look at her?"
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Mu Yunhan had never heard anything wrong with Mu Yao before.
Mu Yao said coldly: "Gu Fenglin buried many golden needles in my body before he sent me here to imprison me.
These golden needles would travel along my meridians and blood flow all over my body. Whenever it was cloudy, I would be in pain that was so painful that I felt worse than death.
Since you need me to provide medicine, don't treat me like this, otherwise I might be in so much pain that I can't bear it and die here."
Gu Fenglin never mentioned this matter to Mu Yunhan.
