Mu Yong used his sword to carry the Single Parasol Green back into the main hall. He handed a signal flare to the dark guards, who walked to the back and fired three shots into the sky. The dazzling signal grenades blossomed in the air.

This was Mu Sheng's unique signal to inform his subordinates.

When the military was first handed over, all the old tribes were reluctant to part with this great general who had brought them for many years. Only by following Mu Hao would they be able to win a hundred battles and win a lot of respect. Everyone was reluctant to leave him, and even expressed their allegiance to him alone.

Mu Sheng consoled them for a long time. In the end, all the former divisions gave him this signal flare and agreed that as long as he was in trouble in the future, they would send out this signal flare and the old divisions nearby would immediately rush over.

Mu Sheng had not thought of using this, but everyone shared the same thought and could only accept it. Who would have thought that it would actually come in handy today?

Sure enough, they didn't confront each other for long. In the middle of the night, a squadron of Steel Cavalry suddenly charged into the mountain stronghold. The bandits saw that the tide was up, and they all put down their weapons in surrender.

Upon seeing the signal detonator and seeing the cavalry soldiers, the group of people finally realized that this was the signal detonator that Mu Lingfeng had ordered them to take. It was the signal detonator that could command all the troops.

However, even Mu Lingfeng himself did not know that the signal detonator was actually with Mu Ying.

He had already secretly investigated and found out about the signal detonator, but he was not clear about the details. It was because Mu Ying's old side had too strict of a mouth. Mu Lingfeng could only guess that he would need Mu Ying's signature in order to obtain the signal detonator and command the three armies. This was one of the reasons why he had won this time.

The general led by the Steel Cavalry walked in and knelt before Mu Ying. He cupped his hands and greeted, "Greetings, General!"

"Quickly, get up. I am no longer a general. Why must you greet me so courteously?" Mu Ying quickly helped him up.

"Come, please take a seat. This time, thank you." Mu Sheng invited the general to take a seat and said gratefully.

"Your Highness is too polite. As long as you give the order, this lowly subordinate would not dare to slack off." The general was respectful.

"Bring him up!" Mu Sheng spoke a little bit with the general before calling someone to escort Dan Wuqing and Sun Shengguang up.

Mu Sheng sat on the roof of the grand hall and placed the two of them on their knees.

"Your Highness, these two people are actually reckless under the laws of a king. They have the audacity to detain your highness. They should be put to death on the spot, so what are you leaving them with their lives for?" The general asked in confusion. Just a moment ago, he was about to kill the two of them to vent his anger. However, Mu Ying had no choice but to stop him.

"This is a very serious matter, there is someone controlling them from behind the scenes." Mu Ying seemed to have thought of something. When he was still in the prison, Mu Sheng had already noticed that there was something fishy going on behind his back.

"Speak, who commanded you." Hearing Mu Yong's words, the general frowned and angrily rebuked the two of them.

Mu Ying looked at the two of them coldly. Although he had already guessed that the envoy was in the palace, he didn't know who he was. It seemed that the palace had been rather unstable in the days they had been gone.

Indeed, after Mu Ying and the others left, the palace had been bustling with activity, fighting and fighting openly and secretly.

On the one hand, Mu Lingfeng had secretly sent people to assassinate Mu Chengyun and the rest, hoping to take back the items that belonged to the three armies; on the other hand, he had trained his wings in all aspects; in the imperial court, he even targeted Mu Zhuozhi and pretended to be worried about the country and the citizens, trying his best to please Mu Zhengyun; on the other hand, he was also thinking of ways to bring Xue Shaoli back.

Ever since Xue Ruyun had left, Mu Zheng had been depressed and often worried about him. Mu Lingfeng saw all of this happening and ordered his men to secretly search for people who resembled Xue Ruyun.

The world was vast, and there were many wonders to it. After searching through many different fields, he finally found a woman and sent her to the manor.

"Your Highness, this is the person you were looking for." The housekeeper led the girl to Mu Lingfeng.

"Remove the veil." Mu Lingfeng walked up to the woman, looked around and ordered her.

"Yes, Your Highness." The woman saluted and took off her veil.

Mu Lingfeng carefully evaluated. Indeed, this woman really did look somewhat similar to Xue Ruoyun. "The heavens are on my side!" Mu Lingfeng thought.

"Where did you find this? It actually looks a bit similar." Mu Lingfeng praised.

"Third Prince, you don't have to say. She is related to that person by blood." The butler said mysteriously.

"Oh, what do you mean?" Mu Lingfeng's interest was piqued.

"He was sent over from there …" The butler glanced at the surroundings and then whispered into Mu Lingfeng's ear.

"Wonderful, wonderful. In that case, even the heavens are helping me. "

"Congratulations, Third Prince." The butler took the opportunity to flatter her.

"Make the arrangements. Remember, don't let anyone know about the relationship between her and us." Mu Lingfeng warned.

"Yes." The butler answered and left.

Mu Lingfeng was quite proud of himself. He raised his head and drank a cup of wine, staring at the girl with an intoxicated expression. He raised his chin and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Zheng Ziyi."

"Purple Robe, what a good name." Mu Lingfeng muttered to himself as he slowly moved his mouth close to hers. He took a deep sniff around Zi Yi's neck, feeling the unique fragrance coming from her body.

Zi Yi sensed his desire and began to pant, twisting his body to slowly approach Mu Lingfeng. Mu Lingfeng wanted to make a move, but after a moment of hesitation, he managed to restrain himself.

"Train well." With these words, Mu Lingfeng turned around and walked out. Zheng Ziyi, who was left behind, looked at his handsome back with a face full of disappointment and unwillingness.

Ever since Xue had left, Mu Zheng had been busy with national affairs and rarely came to the Imperial Garden. Apart from his busy government affairs, he still avoided the imperial garden as much as possible. Because as long as one looked at any lake, that tree would think of the first time they met, and their hearts would be filled with disappointment.

That afternoon, the sun was blazing in the sky. After dealing with the political affairs, Mu Zheng was a bit tired. Eunuch Wei also "inadvertently" said that recently Imperial Garden introduced a type of western lily:

"These lilies have been blooming just right for a while now, and their fragrance is everywhere. After smelling it, I feel refreshed and my tiredness has disappeared. "This servant will ask the flower room to cut some flowers and put them in the room to relieve the emperor of his fatigue. Is that alright?"

Mu Zheng put down his brush. "This flower blooms just right. If I cut it, it would only last for a few days. Isn't that a pity?"

"Then …" Eunuch Wei looked like he was in a dilemma, but he had already guessed that Mu Zheng would say this. Mu Zheng loved poetry and was a romantic. He would always pity the flowers and cherish the flowers.

"Whatever, it's a bit boring at noon. Let's go to the imperial garden and take a look at the flower you said." Mu Zheng stood up.

"Okay, drive the imperial garden!" Eunuch Wei flung his whisk and shouted in a shrill voice.

When they arrived at the imperial garden, they found that the lilies of the Western Regions were indeed bewitching and enchanting, their fragrance wafting in all directions. Mu Zheng was in a good mood. After he finished admiring the flowers, he casually walked forward for a while.

"Be careful, aiya, come down …" From far away, he could hear the voices of some women from the other side of the lake. Mu Zheng had purposely avoided the lake, but when he heard the sound, he couldn't help but walk over.

The palace maids were crying out as they pointed at the trees in the lake.

Mu Sheng looked towards the tree. It was the tree that Xue Ruyun had met. A woman in a light purple dress was picking a kite. Her body was delicate and shaky.

"This is too dangerous, quickly call her down." Mu Zheng instructed Eunuch Wei. However, just as he finished speaking, he heard the screams of the palace maids one after another. It was the woman. She stomped on the air and fell to the ground.

Without hesitation, Mu Zheng jumped up and caught the woman.

"Greetings, your Imperial Majesty." When the palace maids saw that it was the emperor, they hurriedly kneeled on the ground in fear.

"Be careful in the future." Mu Zheng placed the woman on the ground and stood up, preparing to leave.

"You're the Emperor?" The woman asked innocently, as if she didn't know Mu Zheng's palanquin.

Mu Zheng was baffled by her question. He turned around only to see the purple-dressed woman blinked as she tilted her head to look at him.

Mu Zheng carefully examined this woman's appearance and was instantly stunned. She looked so similar to Xue Ruoyun. This meeting scene was exactly the same as when he had first met Xue Luoyun. Mu Zheng's heart immediately softened.

"Which palace's maid are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?" Mu Zheng's voice was gentle.

The woman covered her mouth and chuckled, "I am not a palace maid. I am a beautiful lady who was selected to enter the palace this year."

For Mu Lingfeng, it was too easy to arrange the identity of a pretty girl for her. Countless beautiful women entered the palace every day. Even the empress, not to mention the emperor, probably numbered in the countless.

"Then why did you climb the tree just now? It was so dangerous."

"Reporting to the Emperor, just now I saw a few elder sisters' kite fall onto a tree, that's why I wanted to help them pick it up." Zheng Ziyi waved the kite in her hand, stepping forward and handing it to the palace maid.

"I accidentally collided with the emperor just now. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Zheng Ziyi returned the kite, then remembered to apologize.

Mu Zheng looked at her. Not only did he help her with a kind heart, but there was no class in his eyes. He was innocent, cute, and clever. He was too similar to Xue Yiyun. Mu Zheng looked at her a few more times and his heart couldn't help but pound.

"Your majesty, I still have things to do. I'll head back first." Before he could say anything to Mu Zheng, Zheng Ziyi suddenly left in a hurry.

This made Mu Zheng remember what he wanted to say.

Later on in the Imperial Garden, this woman 'accidentally' bumped into Mu Zheng many times. Mu Zheng's impression of her became even deeper. Since she was already an elegant lady, she was originally the emperor's woman. Before long, Mu Zheng had made her his concubine and brought her to the palace.

The empress was alarmed by the sudden appearance of this pretty girl as her concubine. It was difficult for her to investigate this woman's identity several times.

He didn't expect that Mu Lingfeng would have long arranged everything so that he could go with the flow. On the contrary, he let the emperor know that this woman's background was pure and that she didn't have any backing. Furthermore, it had nothing to do with the previous dynasty. In addition to the empress's predicament, Mu Zheng felt an incomparable amount of pity for her.

Mu Zheng had always been suppressing his feelings for Xiao Die and Xue Ruyun. After losing two women in a row, he finally let go of his worries and decided to cherish the present. He wanted to enjoy the arrangements of the heavens and stop thinking about things that didn't belong to him. Ever since the ancient era, the Emperor had been very amorous. He quickly accepted this woman.

This woman had already been trained before, and there were many ways to imitate her. In addition, her kung fu skills in bed were amazing. What Mu Zheng could not obtain from Xue Luoyun, he was satisfied with Zheng Ziyi.

Soon, Zheng Ziyi became the palace's new pet.
