"My son, are you alright?" Xue Ruyun and Mu Ying came to pay their respects to the empress dowager. Once they met, the empress dowager worriedly held Mu Ying's hand and looked around. Only after she confirmed that Mu Ying was fine did she let go.

"Muhou, it's fine. Don't worry." Mu Ying said.

"Who is so audacious to dare to enter the palace to assassinate someone? I will definitely let your royal brother investigate." Her Majesty urged.

"Yes, my royal brother has already sent people to investigate. This time, it was all thanks to Muyun, otherwise, I might have been set up by him." Mu Sheng never stopped speaking kindly to the empress dowager, hoping that her opinion of him would improve.

"Hmph, it's all thanks to her? How come such a thing had never happened in the Prince's Mansion before? This person might be trying to kill her, and might even implicate you. " The empress dowager snappily replied.

"Imperial Mother, if you say it like that, then you are wrongly accusing Mo Yun." Mu Sheng quickly helped Xue Luoyun differentiate the situation.

"My son, it's not that Imperial Mother is talking about you, but that you are overly pampering her. Logically speaking, I don't want to interfere in the affairs of your residence either. However, you've specially pampered a person and severely punished her side concubine. This side of the concubine family has an illustrious background. If one or two of them have grievances in their hearts, it's not impossible to deal with her … "

The Empress Dowager had been through so many years of palace strife that it was easy to imagine these things.

"Imperial Mother, you have said this many times, so it must be the secondary wives who have sent people to report to you, right? It's fine if I don't pursue the matters they did, but now that I'm restricted and have come here to stir up trouble, it seems like I absolutely cannot let them live! "

Mu Rong Zhan was flustered and exasperated as he spoke harshly in front of the empress dowager. He had to get rid of these women when he got back!

"You can't!" Her Majesty hastened to stop them. "Although they are a little cautious, the starting point is that I hope you will love them enough. Furthermore, their families are closely connected to the imperial government. Even though the imperial government may seem peaceful right now, in reality, there are still undercurrents running through it. At a time like this, we absolutely cannot add to the problem. "

"Regardless of their family background, this son of mine must never let these people who cause trouble live. Also, I ask that Mother not interfere any further in the matter of love. Now, this son has clearly explained to Mother that whether it was in the past, present, or future, this son has only one goal in his heart, and that he only has one goal in his life.

Mu Sheng stated with absolute certainty. For so long, the empress dowager had already blamed Xue Ruyun many times for this matter. Mu Ying didn't want Xue Ruyun to suffer any more grievances.

"You, you …" The empress dowager was infuriated by Mu Ying's words as he sat down on a chair.

"Empress Dowager, please calm down. Prince isn't a child anymore. He has his own ideas, so you shouldn't trouble yourself so much. Descendants will have their own children." Senior Servant Gui hurried to comfort the empress dowager.

"That's right, it's not that I intend to disobey my mother, but I'm just truthfully stating my intentions." Mu Sheng also knelt down and explained to Her Majesty.

"Sigh, forget about it. Back then, for the sake of you, he had always been estranged from me for so many years. Right now, since you have your own thoughts, I will not bother with you in case you become an evil person again. However, since my son is so sincere to you, I hope that you won't let her down. "

The empress dowager was already old, so she decided to ignore Mu's victory in the end.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, don't worry. Your Highness and I know each other's hearts, and we will not disappoint him in this life." When Xue Ruyun heard this, he hurriedly knelt down to express his feelings to the empress dowager.

When Mu Ying heard this, he glanced at Xue Ruyun, and the two of them smiled in a gratified manner. When Senior Servant Gui saw that the two children had finally gotten the empress dowager's approval, she too felt happy for them.

"These concubines must still be treated kindly. Even if I don't like them, I'll just raise them in the Prince's Mansion. It'll definitely not be good if I forget about them." Her Majesty was relieved.

"This son shall obey mother's teachings." As long as he could obtain the empress dowager's blessing from Xue Ruyun, nothing else mattered.

"Senior Servant Gui, do you think This Dowager is getting old? There are many things that I've done wrong, and they've made the children look down on me." The empress dowager couldn't help but sigh with emotion when she saw Mu Sheng and Xue Ruyun leave happily.

"How could that be? Esteemed empress dowager, you've always thought for the sake of the prince and the rest. They're all grateful to you in their hearts, but they're still young after all. There are many things that aren't as thoughtful as you, Esteemed Empress Dowager." However, who wouldn't have had the courage to struggle and fight when they were young … " Senior Servant Gui consoled the empress dowager, sighing to herself.

"Yeah, who wouldn't have when they were young …" When she thought of this, Her Majesty also remembered many of the things that had happened in the past.

"Accompany This Dowager in giving incense to the late Emperor." Her Majesty stroked her white hair and stood up.

"Alright." Senior Servant Gui rushed over to help her up.

"Mu Sheng, look at the weather today! The flowers over there have bloomed!" "Also, when did the weeping willow by the river grow so long? It's almost falling into the water." On the way back to the Prince's Mansion, Xue Luoyun seemed exceptionally happy, and even his footsteps became so light.

"The scenery on the road has always been like this. The only thing that has changed is your mood." Mu Ying smiled gently.

"Is that so?" "Yes." Xue Ruyun replied. He used his hand to cover his brow, looking at the white clouds in the sky.

"Yes, the Queen Mother has finally accepted us. In the future, you don't have to be so restrained. When you come to see the Queen Mother, you don't need to be so conflicted, right?" Mu Rong Jun patted Xue Ruoyun's head.

"Hee hee." Xue Luoyun didn't say anything, but he couldn't help but laugh. Whatever it is, as long as you persevere and work hard, you will definitely be able to keep the clouds open and see the moon, won't you?

"When we return home in the future, we must start to improve the security inside. Previously, we were too careless, and almost gave the enemy an opportunity." Xue Ruyun and Mu Ying sat in the carriage and discussed with each other.

"Yeah, I'll leave the security matters to you. "Look, the security in your small courtyard was perfect, if I wanted to see you, I would have to put in a lot of effort." Mu Ying teased.

"To be able to break through all of my traps, you're not bad either."

During the following period of time, Xue Muyun started to wholeheartedly set up security in the Prince's Mansion, especially in his own little courtyard.

"Third Prince, a message came from the masturbator saying that he will be arriving in Beijing in a few days' time and that he wants you to contact his imperial concubine." Just as Mu Lingfeng returned, the butler came to report.

"Understood. We'll have them be more careful when we get there. When we get to the capital, there's no need to keep in close contact with us." "To avoid being discovered by others." Mu Lingfeng instructed.

"Yes, but they seem to be very disappointed by the failure to assassinate the king …" The butler hesitated.

"Disappointed. How could This King not be disappointed? If they are powerful, why not do it yourself and even dare to point fingers at This King. If it is not because This King needs their support in the future, would This King suffer from their vexation?"

In his heart, Mu Lingfeng was very unhappy. Although he worked closely with the other party, he had always been proud and arrogant, so how could he be willing to be manipulated?

However, for the sake of future plans, he had to endure it for the time being.

On the other side, Xue Shaoli's carriage was travelling day and night. She couldn't wait to see the third prince, so anxious that she couldn't stop for a moment. Finally, they reached the capital before the comfort barrier.

"Greetings, third prince." When Xue Shaoli felt the capital, she didn't rush to meet her at Mu Lingfeng's residence.

"No need for formalities." Mu Lingfeng, who was sitting on a chair in the hall, said to Xue Shaoli.

Xue Shaolei stood up and raised his head to look at him. He was still as handsome and elegant as ever. He did not change from the person in his impression at all.

On the contrary, Xue Shaoli couldn't help touching her cheeks. Even though there was a thick layer of powder on her cheeks, her skin was already very white. However, Xue Shaoli still felt that her beauty was lacking and felt ashamed of her inferiority in front of Mu Lingfeng. She did not know if her appearance was still the same even after the few years of sand blowing against her face and the good rouge that was nourishing her in the capital.

"You may leave." Mu Lingfeng dismissed the servants beside him.

Seeing that everyone had left, Xue Shaoli was already burning with anxiety and burning with desire.

Mu Lingfeng sat on top of it and stared at her with a lustful look in his eyes. With a smile that was not a smile, he said, "After so many years, you have become more and more beautiful. "Looks like the mountains and rivers in Qing Shui county are quite nourishing."

Hearing Mu Lingfeng's words, Xue Shaoli's heart was filled with joy. If it was just a moment ago that was a little bit unfamiliar, then it had now completely turned into intimacy. The two of them seemed to have returned to their previous date.

"Really? Thank you, Third Prince, for your praise." Xue Shaoli lightly lifted her dress and gave a slight bow, looking extremely charming and adorable.

"You and I are about to become husband and wife, why be so courteous." Mu Lingfeng took a sip of his wine, his eyes becoming increasingly blurry. After being separated from Xue Shaoli for so long, he still missed those warm jades.

"Yes." Xue Shaoli said as she walked slowly towards Mu Lingfeng.

"Come." Mu Lingfeng pulled her into his embrace. Xue Shaoluo took the opportunity to slump down and sat on Mu Lingfeng's thigh. He let out a cry as he fell into his arms.

"What? It's been a long time and you're still a bit shy?" Mu Lingfeng stroked her hair and slowly bent down to kiss her.

"Third Prince..." At this moment, the housekeeper's voice sounded from outside.

Mu Lingfeng was a little displeased, "Didn't I tell you to go down? Why are you here to disturb my good fortune?"

"Um, a message from the palace. Imperial Concubine Zheng said she has urgent business with you." The butler hesitated.

Hearing this, Mu Lingfeng stood up.

"Who is it?" Xue Shaoli blinked her eyes and asked, but her hand was still on Mu Lingfeng's neck. At such a close range, she didn't want Mu Lingfeng to leave.

Mu Lingfeng did not answer her. After a brief moment of thought, he stood up and walked out.

"Third Prince, Third Prince!" Xue Shaoli sat awkwardly on the chair and shouted at Mu Lingfeng. Unfortunately, Mu Lingfeng did not turn around.

"Who is this Concubine Zheng?" After seeing Mu Lingfeng leave, Xue Shaoli pulled on her clothes angrily and walked out to ask the butler in dissatisfaction.

"Imperial Concubine Zheng, she is the Imperial Concubine Zheng of the palace. For more details, you should ask the Third Prince. " The butler wanted to explain, but he was afraid that he would say something he shouldn't have, so he hastily replied with a few words before hastily fleeing.
