Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Seeing Mu Ling'er returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion late at night, Prime Minister Mu stared blankly for a long time until the housekeeper said to him: "Master, it's the young lady who is back. Please stop standing around."

"Yes, yes, I, I..." Prime Minister Mu reacted suddenly and walked to Mu Ling'er in a few steps, bursting into tears with excitement, "Ling'er, you, you are finally back, you, are you okay?

?”

Ever since Mu Ling'er took the initiative to enter the palace as a hostage, Prime Minister Mu had trouble sleeping and eating. Now that he suddenly saw Mu Ling'er coming back, he couldn't even believe his eyes.

Since Mu Ling'er was reincarnated, she married into the palace almost immediately and spent very little time with Prime Minister Mu. Now that she saw that he was willing to risk the world's power to force him into the palace for her, she had long considered him as her biological father.

.

Seeing Prime Minister Mu crying with excitement, Mu Ling'er held back her tears and said: "Dad, look at you, didn't I come back well? Besides, the emperor was very good to me in the palace, and I didn't

Suffering makes you worry."

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. You don't know, dad has trouble sleeping and eating all day long, for fear that something will happen to you." Prime Minister Mu sat down on the seat and forced himself to calm down, "What happened last time has been solved.

Daddy was scared to death, but he didn’t dare to let something like this happen again.”

As soon as Prime Minister Mu said this, he saw the housekeeper hurried in and said in a panic: "Master, go and have a look. The guards from the palace are outside and they say they are looking for the young lady."

Mu Ling'er stood up suddenly, her beautiful face full of vigilance, and whispered to Prime Minister Mu: "Dad, go out and send them away first. The emperor asked me to come back, and there is absolutely no way he will send anyone here again.

Find me. Let’s talk about the rest."

After receiving Mu Ling'er's approval, Prime Minister Mu nodded and walked outside. As soon as he reached the garden, he saw several guards walking towards him.

"Prime Minister Mu, I'm rude for visiting you late at night. However, I'm still following orders now. I hope Prime Minister Haihan will respect you." The leading guard said with a smile when he saw Prime Minister Mu coming out.

Prime Minister Mu said with a cold face: "Guard Pei brought people to my mansion late at night, why is this?"

"Prime Minister, I was just following orders. Princess Rui left the palace, and someone saw her returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion." The guard knew that Mu Ling'er was at the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his tone was unusually harsh.

Although Prime Minister Mu had great power in the court, the guard was under the command of Shangguan Youlan, so he was naturally confident. What's more, he believed that Mu Ling'er had returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he naturally wanted to take Mu Ling'er away to claim credit.

Prime Minister Mu snorted coldly and said: "Then I would like to ask, whose order did you take to dare to search my mansion late at night? I want to see if anyone dares to ignore me now.

You're here! Furthermore, who saw Princess Rui return to the Prime Minister's Mansion? Princess Rui is in the palace now, what's your motive for making such nonsense?"

"Prime Minister, since you said that Princess Rui is not in the Prime Minister's Mansion, do you dare to let me wait for the search? If the search cannot be found, I will leave immediately without saying anything, but if the search is found..." Then Guard Pei

Knowing that it would be useless to entangle him, he just wanted to find Mu Ling'er quickly and go back to Shangguan Youlan.

Prime Minister Mu slowly took a step closer and said in a cold voice: "You bastard slave, open your eyes and see clearly. This is the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you are not allowed to act recklessly. You little guard, who gave you the courage to search my Prime Minister's Mansion?"

?”

"Prime Minister, if you don't allow the search, it means that Princess Rui is in the Prime Minister's Mansion. If something happens then, you will be charged with covering up!" When Guard Pei saw Prime Minister Mu's cold expression, he felt guilty.

A little scared.

The power of Prime Minister Mu in the court is unparalleled. If he really offends Prime Minister Mu in order to cater to Shangguan Youlan, his life may not be easy.

Furthermore, when Mu Ling'er left the palace, it was probably Mo Zhengxuan who ordered the search to be justified. Shangguan Youlan's order was simply untenable.

Thinking of this, Guard Pei also hesitated a little, weighing the pros and cons secretly in his mind.

Prime Minister Mu laughed a few times, then suddenly lowered his face and said: "You, a little guard, came to my Prime Minister's house to search for people in the middle of the night. First, there was no legitimate reason, and second, there was no order from the emperor. If I had asked you to search like this,

Aren’t you going to make the world laugh?”

"Prime Minister Mu, originally I just waited and took a look, but you pushed back and forth, making people suspicious. If this matter were to be known to the emperor, the emperor would definitely be angry." Seeing the absolute certainty of what Prime Minister Mu said, Pei Huwei began to hesitate in his tone.

.

If he really offended Prime Minister Mu, his life in the court would definitely not be easy. If Mu Ling'er was not found, he didn't know how to explain to Shangguan Youlan. He was really in a dilemma.

Prime Minister Mu did not speak, but said coldly, "Come here, drive these people out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of servants came out, holding swords in their hands, and rushed towards several guards.

Guard Pei was shocked and shouted to Prime Minister Mu: "Prime Minister Mu, this general is a guard of the imperial court. I came to you to investigate...how dare you..."

A group of servants seemed not to have heard his words and continued to rush towards him. Guard Pei turned around and saw that several of his men were already running towards the outside of the Prime Minister's Mansion, guarding their heads. He was stunned for a moment.

He also ran out with a "ouch" sound.

"If you dare to hit me..." Pursued by several servants, Guard Pei also tried to intimidate the several servants who had been chasing him.

Prime Minister Mu stood coldly, watching Guard Pei and several guards being chased and beaten by servants and ran out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then returned to the room with a gloomy face.

"Dad, how's it going?" As soon as he reached the door, he saw Mu Ling'er coming out with a worried look on his face.

Prime Minister Mu's expression softened slightly, and he forced a smile. He pondered for a long time before saying: "Since the emperor asked you to leave the palace, but there are guards following you, there may be something fishy. Now that foreign enemies have invaded, this palace

Things will become clearer and clearer, and we all need to be careful."

"Dad, these people are probably sent by Concubine Lan. She wants my life and wants to blackmail Daddy with me, so be extra careful with her." Mu Ling'er only said part of it briefly,

He did not tell Prime Minister Mu what happened between Mo Qingyue and Shangguan Youlan.

After listening to Mu Ling'er's words, Prime Minister Mu pondered for a long time, and finally told Mu Ling'er in detail about the last time he was forced to go to the palace. He said with a solemn face: "Concubine Lan is only an imperial concubine, and she is also a woman, but she has such ambitions.

This makes Daddy very puzzled. However, Prince Rui also came to Daddy a few days ago and said that he wanted Daddy to help him ascend the throne. From this inference, the relationship between Concubine Lan and Prince Rui..."

Having said this, Prime Minister Mu did not say any more, but just looked at Mu Ling'er with a worried look.

According to what Mu Ling'er said, Shangguan Youlan framed her several times in the palace but failed. It is not difficult to see that Shangguan Youlan wanted Mu Ling'er to disappear. If several things are connected together, Mu Ling'er must have known about it a long time ago.

What happened between Mo Qingyue and Shangguan Youlan.

But Mu Ling'er didn't tell him about this just now. In addition to not wanting him to worry, she must have been interested in Mo Qingyue.

How could Mu Ling'er not know what Prime Minister Mu was thinking? She forced a smile and said, "Dad, the emperor already knows all these things..."

"Ling'er, what are you talking about? The emperor already knows!" Prime Minister Mu was shocked, but asked in confusion: "If the emperor knows everything, then why can the emperor condone the development of things?"

Mu Ling'er paused for a while, and then slowly said: "Dad, the emperor is a good emperor. Now the country is facing a crisis, and he believes that the prince can solve this crisis, so he naturally puts national affairs first. When the emperor comes back this time, it is

Let the daughter discuss it with her father and prepare to fulfill his wishes."

"Ling'er, what exactly is the emperor planning to do?" Prime Minister Mu stood up and stared closely into Mu Ling'er's eyes.

Prime Minister Mu is a veteran of the Ming Yue Kingdom, so he naturally has a particularly deep affection for the Ming Yue Kingdom and is loyal to the court. Now that he knows that the situation in the country will change in an instant, he will naturally first think of how to keep Mo Zhengxuan's throne.

Mu Ling'er hesitated for a moment, but still told Prime Minister Mu the plan that Mo Zhengxuan had told her.

"What are you talking about? Does the Emperor really want to do this?" As expected by Mu Ling'er, Prime Minister Mu was shocked.

Mu Ling'er nodded, with a look of loneliness on his face, "Dad, I think the emperor has decided to do this. Besides, the emperor also thinks that the prince is the most suitable to sit in this seat. Since the emperor has made this decision, we will comply with him.

I think so. Moreover, he is not too happy in this position."

Prime Minister Mu fell heavily into his seat. He never thought that Mo Zhengxuan, the Supreme Being of the Nine Five Years, did not like being the emperor!

"Dad, I know you can't accept it in your heart, but the emperor has also said that you will also think that the prince is suitable for sitting in this seat. Besides, he also asked dad to put the country first." Prime Minister Mu didn't see him for a long time.

After speaking, Mu Ling'er let out a long sigh and said.

Mu Cheng stared blankly in front of him for a long time, and then slowly said: "What the emperor said is that the prince's expedition has only been for half a month, and good news has been received frequently. After this great victory, the prince will have

A large number of people are following you to the death. And the emperor has no intention of continuing. It seems that this matter will develop in the direction foreseen by the emperor."

"Since dad thinks so too, and according to the emperor's prediction, the prince will return from the war soon. Before the prince comes back, let's do things according to the emperor's arrangements. Concubine Lan has been ready to make a move, and she was already in the emperor's meal earlier.
