The mourners from the Shen family did not return to the capital until the evening of the next day.
The first thing Mr. Shen did when he came in was not to take a bath and rest, but to reveal the news to Mu Yunhan's people.
"all the best."
Mu Yunhan breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to tell Empress Dowager Shen the news so that she could feel at ease. However, it was getting late and everything was inconvenient, so he could only wait until the next day.
Just before dawn, she was awakened by the cry of the little black dot.
Mu Yunhan woke up instantly, quickly grabbed the crossbow arrow hidden by his pillow, lay on the bed and looked out of the tent warily.
The lantern outside the window let in some light, and there were shadows in the room, but there was no unusual movement.
But Mu Yunhan had a particularly strong feeling that Gu Yilan was back.
It's just that he shouldn't be in her room at the moment, but hiding somewhere outside.
The little black dot only barked twice and then stopped barking. He groped his way to the edge of the bed and tried to climb up, making pitiful coquettish sounds of "hem hum hum".
Mu Yunhan pushed it down unceremoniously: "Those who eat raw meat, don't come up."
Little Black Spot understood, so he had to squat on the footstool and watch her wag her tail.
Mu Li's voice sounded outside the window: "Madam, my servant is always here."
Mu Yunhan responded. The traps installed by Gu Fenglin were still there. Mu Li worked carefully and meticulously, and his skills were not weak. He was much more at ease than in the palace.
After waiting for a while, Little Black Spot fell asleep on her embroidered shoes, and it was so quiet inside and outside.
That strange sense of danger disappeared, and it was obvious that Gu Yilan had left.
Mu Yunhan lost his sleepiness and got up when he heard the sound of the drum at midnight.
She wanted to see how the sunflowers were doing.
Xiao Mi advised her: "If there is no message from the bird slave, it means everything is fine. How about you wait until dawn?"
They were all afraid that Gu Yilan would be hiding in some dark corner, so they waited for Mu Yunhan to go out and grabbed her.
Mu Yunhan said softly: "I was wrong. If he wanted to touch me, he wouldn't wait until now. It's easy for the palace to do it."
Xiaomi said: "That's hard to explain, he has a weird temperament."
Mu Li said in a deep voice: "Madam, you want to see Mr. Sunflower. Is it because of something? Or is it for other reasons?"
Mu Yunhan said: "I can't tell. I just feel like I want to see it."
Mu Li said: "Since you want to go, then go. You have to go out. I just ask Madam to wait for the servant for a while."
He said and withdrew. After a while, he came back and said, "Okay, please, ma'am."
Mu Yunhan smiled as he walked out the door.
The lights were brightly lit everywhere, and there were guards everywhere, ready to go.
She praised Mu Li and walked out steadily.
The bird slave lay sleeping at the door of the temple and drooled. After being pushed awake, he hurriedly knelt on the ground: "...I've seen Madam...no one is coming. Lord Sunflower, everything is fine."
Mu Yunhan entered the temple and saw that the sunflower was not in the nest, but just like when it was healthy, it was perched high on the shoulders of the statue, looking down at her with bright eyes.
"Lord Sunflower, it seems you are in good spirits."
Mu Yunhan first saluted the statue and then stretched out his hand towards the sunflower with a smile.
Sunflower flew down and looked at her: "Why are you here?"
Mu Yunhan said: "I thought of you as soon as I woke up."
"Haha..." Sunflower laughed, loosened her paws, and a piece of paper fell into her hand.
