"If you are willing, you can stay with His Majesty. Maybe his illness can get better. When that day comes, I will protect you two and go back to Shoushan Town to find Xingxing. Okay?"
Gu Yilan looked at Mu Yunhan sincerely, with hope in her eyes.
Mu Yunhan has been thinking about this issue from the moment he hugged Yan'er.
Qi Guo couldn't go to Qi for a while, and she still had some clues to sort out. During these days, she stayed with Yan'er attentively.
She then said: "I have agreed with Yan'er that I will go to accompany him in a few days."
As for whether Gu Yilan would need to escort them back to Shoushan Town in the future, she naturally ignored it.
Gu Yilan lowered her eyes and silently helped her get on the carriage. She consciously got on the horse and kept a distance from her.
Back at the Priest Palace, it was already dark. Gu Yilan said calmly: "I still have things to deal with. You can eat by yourself."
Before Mu Yunhan could say anything, he left quickly.
Mu Yunhan had dinner alone, played with Black Dot and Tiger for a while, then lay down and slept until dawn.
At dinner the next morning, she consciously asked Jinxiu to get Gu Yilan a set of bowls and chopsticks, but she didn't wait for a long time.
Xiaomi whispered: "Don't wait any longer, he didn't come back last night."
Mu Yunhan vaguely guessed that Gu Yilan was angry, but he didn't bother to care about it. He just had breakfast and asked someone to bring the greeting card.
She walked around the capital yesterday and many letters of greetings were sent to the palace. The reason why she did not go to the palace immediately to accompany Yan'er was because there were a lot of favors that needed to be dealt with.
Among them are those from the Shen family, the Wu family, the royal family, and some from the official palace.
Mu Yunhan picked out the important ones and put them aside, asking Jinxiu to arrange the timetable for meeting guests in order.
I picked it up with my hands. There was a light cyan embossed name card on the dark bottom, and an ancient seal "Meng" was embossed on it with hot stamping.
She had been hanging out with the Meng family for several years, so she naturally recognized that it belonged to Mrs. Meng.
She sat in silence for a moment, then stood up and said, "Get in the car, I'll go to Meng Mansion."
Xiaomi and Jinxiu were slightly surprised, but they didn't say anything. They quickly took out their belongings and went out with her.
Not long after the carriage drove out of the gate of the Priest's Palace, it suddenly stopped. Someone opened the curtain and asked, "Where are you going?"
But it was Gu Yilan.
He wore a dark robe and did not wear a hair crown. He only had a simple ebony hairpin on his head, but he had sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, which were dazzling.
Mu Yunhan looked at him as if he had just come back from outside, and said, "I went to visit Mrs. Meng. Are you just coming back?"
Only then did Gu Yilan show her tired face: "There was a mutiny in the Gyeonggi Camp last night and the guard was killed. I just came back from there."
Mu Yunhan frowned: "Has it been dealt with?"
Gu Yilan shook his head: "Three feet of ice does not last in a day. Although it has been temporarily suppressed, the fundamental problem has not been solved."
Mu Yunhan sighed and heard him say again: "It's getting late, you should go quickly."
As the carriage drove by, Mu Yunhan looked back at him through the window, but saw him standing by the roadside watching her off with a gloomy expression.
The person who came out to greet Mu Yunhan was a young daughter-in-law. Mu Yunhan vaguely remembered that she was from the Meng clan, but could not remember whose family she was.
The little daughter-in-law has thin eyebrows and narrow eyes. She smiles when she talks, and her eyes turn into crescent moons: "I'm afraid madam, I'm from the Meng Shifif family. Because my eldest aunt is sick and there is no one to take care of me at home, I came over to say hello."
