Mu Yizi lowered her head, not daring to speak as she lay prostrate on the ground, deep in thought.
"All of you can leave now!" Just as he was about to speak to Eunuch Zhou behind him, Eunuch Zhou quickly led the group of people away.
However, when he turned his head to look, he saw that Shen Bai was still standing there without moving. He calmly walked to his side and tugged on his sleeve, indicating for him to follow him out.
Shen Bai looked worriedly at Mu Yizi, who was still kneeling on the ground. Since they were already here, he couldn't say anything. He could only leave with Eunuch Zhou.
When everyone had left, she stared fixedly at Mu Youzi, who was still kneeling on the ground, for a while. She sighed and then stepped forward, bent down and helped her up.
"Didn't I already say that?" You are already a subject, so there is no need for you to perform the ritual of kneeling down. "
Mu Youzi was a bit embarrassed. She used the momentum to stand up, but her legs couldn't help feeling weak.
It was unknown if it was because he had been exercising too fiercely last night, or because he had knelt for too long.
Glancing at one of her knees, she said nothing. Seeing the porridge on the table, he could not help but smile and say, "Your life has been quite comfortable. I must be tired of eating the delicacies of the sea and the mountains in my palace, so I hid in the mansion and ate the porridge and side dishes. "
Mu Yizi's heart skipped a beat. She didn't think that she would be so considerate as to not allow her to kneel before him. In the blink of an eye, she grabbed onto this matter and refused to let it go.
"Your Majesty, this subject knows his mistake. Yesterday, this official was not feeling well, he could not get up at all. However, the eunuch who passed down the decree left a message and left. The brothers under this official's command didn't even have the time to ask this official about it, and didn't know the way to enter the palace. This was why they were delayed, and this subject had wanted to enter the palace and ask the emperor for forgiveness. I never would have thought that His Majesty would come to this humble abode. "
Just as he was about to say something, his face darkened and he said unhappily: "You mean that I should be waiting in the palace for you to arrive?"
Mu Yizi hurriedly cupped her hands and bowed, "This subject doesn't dare."
As he sat down, he picked up the chopsticks that Mu Yizi had used a moment ago and was about to take a bite out of it.
"Your Majesty, that chopstick is something this subject has used before … If the king wishes to eat some, I shall order my men to prepare another serving for him. " Mu Yizi spoke up awkwardly to stop her. She was the ruler of a country, how could she eat the rest of the dishes that she had used before?
Lin Mu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it. Which head chef did General Mu invite to his residence? The food you make is truly much better than the food we eat in our palace. It's no wonder that you would rather eat what he cooks than enter the palace to eat with me. "
It was hard to tell if he was happy or angry by the tone he used, so Mu Yizi did not dare to speak up.
"I'm asking you a question!"
Mu Yizi could only reply respectfully, "Reporting to Your Majesty, this was done by Young Master Shen Bai."
Lin Mu Yu thoughtfully nodded and said: "I can see that the kid really cares about you."
"Your Majesty, a few days ago Young Master Shen had already agreed to be this official's advisor. If this official were to join the battle in the future, he would be like a tiger with wings."
Mu Yizi quickly revealed Shen Bai's identity, afraid that he would be taken away after taking a few small dishes.
"What is it? To say that he is your advisor so quickly, are you afraid that I will snatch him away? " I'm not stupid. How can I not see her little mind?
"Forget it, sit down! Why are you still so reserved in your house? Could it be that This Emperor is really that scary? " He put down his chopsticks and looked at her with a hint of complaint in his eyes.
Mu Yizi's back was already drenched in cold sweat. This female emperor was constantly changing between anger and happiness, making it hard for people to fathom her temper. It was better for her to be cautious.
"Highness, are you still angry with this official?"
As the saying goes, curiosity kills the cat.
Mu Yizi couldn't resist asking, but carefully looked at Lin Ruo's body with her small eyes.
He sat up straight and glanced at her.
"Do you still know to ask if This Emperor is angry? I had thought that you had thrown me to the back of your mind just because you had such a handsome advisor! "
"This official dares not. His Majesty is the ruler of a nation, and an official of a subject has to make his majesty the emperor of the heavens. How dare I forget about you! " Mu Yizi had used up all of her flattering abilities. If she had visited the Pure Wind House before, she would have searched the entire Qing Tong Mountain. How could she speak to a single person in such a manner?
He looked at her, not knowing what to think.
When she didn't hear him speak for a long time, Mu Yizi couldn't help touching her own face.
"Highness, is there anything on your face?" Could it be that Shen Bai also left a mark on his face last night? It shouldn't be, right?
This made Mu Yizi tense up. How could she have known that a kiss would not easily leave an imprint on her face?
Just as he was about to shake his head, he noticed that the Starry Phoenix Steps on his bun was swaying along with his movements. It seemed as if he could flap his wings and soar into the sky at any moment.
"Also purple... Have you ever seen your mother? "
Just as she was about to ask, Mu Yizi was stunned.
Why did he ask about her mother?
Although she didn't know why Lin Mu had asked that, she still shook her head honestly.
Since childhood, she grew up with her father, and later on, they arrived at the Qingfeng Stronghold. Where would he get the chance to see her mother?
"Then you …" Have you thought about her? " He rolled his Adam's apple and looked at her with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Mu Yizi shrugged and said indifferently, "What do you think? I don't even know what she looks like. "
Mu Yizi could not help but relax as they talked about other topics. I no longer cared about those etiquette, and directly began to call myself by my name.
At this moment, the two of them seemed to have returned to the time when they had a long conversation on top of the Qingtong Mountains.
He pursed his lips and looked at her with a complicated expression.
"Why is His Majesty asking about this matter?"
Being stared at by Lin Mu's eyes made her feel inexplicably uneasy. Only now did Mu Yiran remember that she had forgotten her manners and couldn't help feeling a little vexed.
Before he came back to his senses, he smiled and said: "It's fine. Have you ever thought of what you would say to your mother if you saw her one day? "
Mu Yurou couldn't help but frown. Why was he so weird today? Why are you so concerned about her mother?
"Your Majesty seems to be very concerned about this official's family matters today." Mu Yizi's tone was filled with caution, she rarely mentioned her mother in front of others. Even in front of her father, Mu Feng, she had never spoken about her mother.
When I felt Mu Yizi's unhappiness, I hurriedly explained, "I am just curious. Recently, I often think about old friends and think about many things. "
Mu Yizi blinked her eyes, flapping her feather-like eyelashes, looking extremely similar to that person.
"Is it that old friend who is so similar to me?"
