"Does it feel like the future is no longer filled with hope like before, but instead filled with fog?"

Mu Youzi raised her eyes to look at her as she heard her father's sudden question.

In the end, he nodded his head noncommittally.

She was right. It was as if she was already in the Misty Forest. The fog in front of her was too thick for her to find her bearings, so she simply continued moving forward.

As he saw Mu Yizi's reaction, he took a deep breath and let out a heavy sigh.

"Why does His Majesty sigh?"

Shouldn't she be the one sighing? Why would she be sighing instead? Mu Zhizi looked at Lin Mu with a puzzled expression.

When he crossed his hands on his knees, he looked at her and said, "When I just inherited the throne, it was just like how you are now. He hadn't even gone to court in almost half a month and had even thrown the imperial reports to Lu Xiang. It was also because of this that the old fellow wanted to return to his hometown after I was able to handle matters of government by myself. "

"But isn't Lu Xiang still in court?" Mu Yizi frowned slightly. Right now, the Prime Minister still held great prestige in the palace, and there were no signs of him returning home.

Laughing, he turned to look at her and explained, "Because I need his position and power in the court. How can I let him just leave like that? Naturally, we have to think of a way to keep him here. "

Mu Yizi did not reply. She knew that Lin Mu Yu would not just leave like that.

With Lu Zhian's position in the court, many officials had once been his disciples.

If it weren't for Lu Yishan, they wouldn't be where they were now. The most important thing for a scholar was their moral integrity. They would not be easily affected by power, and instead, they valued benevolence and camaraderie.

If it wasn't for the fact that they were powerless and had studied for a few more years, they would have probably compared themselves with that green woodsy.

Looking back at the Prime Minister who had painstakingly cultivated for so many years, he could only barely compare to Lu Xiang. If he hadn't spent so much time and effort giving his son to Lin Yu, he wouldn't have been able to stay in the court this comfortable.

If it weren't for the fact that she had enjoyed listening to the gossip and gossip of the elders since she was young, she wouldn't have known that the Prime Minister, in order to consolidate her position, was willing to send her only son to the imperial harem.

One could see how ambitious he was.

"Therefore, if you feel confused, you should take a rest. After all, people had to take a breather for themselves. I don't mind if you come to the palace. " Saying that, he called for Eunuch Zhou.

Eunuch Zhou then walked in with a token and handed it over to Mu Yizi.

Looking at the command token, Mu Youzi hesitated whether or not she should take it.

Eunuch Zhou lowered his head and gave her a meaningful glance, indicating that she should quickly accept the token.

Under his gaze, Mu Yizi had no choice but to accept the token.

The medallion lay silently in his hand, as if it carried a scorching heat.

Mu Yizi had just entered the imperial court and already received such high treatment from the emperor. If others knew, they would definitely say the wrong thing.

It wasn't because she was afraid of the rumors, but because she was afraid that she would become the scapegoat for others in the future.

Accompanying the king like a tiger, the people around the emperor appeared to be extremely powerful and impressive. He didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at him from the back.

"You don't have to worry about someone harming you. We, the Emperor, have already instructed the Prime Minister to take care of you." At least with Prime Minister Lu supporting you in the middle of the court, the others wouldn't dare to do anything to you. "

She patted Mu Yizi's hand comfortingly, hoping to give her some strength.

There was always a shadow of that person in her. Sometimes, she even had the misconception that Mu Yizi was sent to her side by that person.

He shook his head with a bitter smile. What was he thinking? That person had long since disappeared and would never return.

Mu Yizi was too focused on looking at Lin Xin's hand that was on her own to notice her expression.

Although she didn't know why the king thought so highly of her, she was a person who knew how to repay favors. She would definitely not let down her expectations.

After hesitating for a moment, Mu Zhizi said, "Your Majesty, if this subject were to do something out of the pavilion, would Lu Xiang be able to support himself?"

Lin Mu was startled, "What do you mean?"

Mu Yizi pushed herself off the bed, kneeling down on one knee in front of Ji Wei and said, "This subject wants to overthrow Ji Wei and the others!"

"Ji Wei? Is it because of the robbery? " She thought she was acting like a child because of the robbery, because she didn't know that Dazhuang had been killed by Ji Wei's men.

When Mu Yizi raised her head again, her eyes were completely red. Your Imperial Majesty, Ji Wei, in the name of the bandit leader, led people in trying to act fierce. Killed a farmer who lives at the foot of the Qing Tong Mountain, his punishment shall be death! "

He stood up in shock and asked with a frown, "Is there such a thing?"

Mu Yizi sniffed and said in a choked voice, "There are a lot of farmers living at the foot of the Qing Tong Mountain. They have never done anything against the will of the heavens or against the earth. They only defended me because they saw Ji Wei exterminating bandits indiscriminately. But they lost their lives because of that. If I don't avenge them, how can I face them with my heart? "

He didn't answer. He was thinking about something.

"Mu Yizi, you have no foundation within the imperial court right now. Even with me and Lu Xiang watching over you, wanting to take down Ji Wei and his men is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. What's more, this matter involved a lot of things. Even if you can deal with Ji Wei, can you deal with the person behind him? "

Mu Ru Zi's last words brought her back to reality. She was indeed too anxious.

Thinking back to when he had just entered the capital, Ji Wei had already brought people to give her a show of strength.

The Prime Minister also used the banquet's name to treat her. Presumably, the two of them had a deep friendship. If he wanted to deal with Ji Wei, he would definitely offend the Prime Minister.

Just based on the fact that she was only a fourth grade general, how could she fight against a prime minister?

"How about this, if you can figure out a way to catch Ji Wei's weakness, then I can help out."

Mu Yurou knew in her heart that this matter had already become a knot in her heart. If he rejected her, it might cause her to lose control of her emotions.

If he joined the Prime Minister's faction, he would be sending a right-hand man to the enemies.

He definitely could not allow this to happen before he had gotten hold of Mu Yizi's weakness to ensure that she would not betray him.

Mu Yurou had thought that His Majesty would reject her request, but what followed next gave her hope.

In her heart, she was already planning on how to expose Ji Wei. If he wanted to grasp someone's weakness, then he had to know that person's weakness. As the old saying goes, you have to take his life while he's sick!

Ji Wei, this time, I won't let you off!
