The two of them stood outside the great hall. The lazy sunlight shone directly on the white jade railings, and the reflection from the tiles on the glazed roof rippled, seeming to dazzle a person's eyes.
Mu Chuyang hesitated for a while, then raised his head to look at Duan Yunfei, and said to Duan Yunfei with a puzzled expression: "Little Thirteen, in the great hall just now, why didn't you tell the emperor the truth?"
Hearing Mu Chuyang say that, Duan Yunfei turned her head to look at him, pretended to be shocked and said to him: "Young Prince Mu, what you're saying is wrong, royal father is the Son of Heaven, how could I possibly lie to him, I can't bear the crime of bullying the Sovereign, please speak with caution, Young Prince."
Duan Yunfei's expression was stern, and Mu Chuyang's heart immediately became flustered. He hurriedly waved his hand at Duan Yunfei and said: "Little Thirteen, you know I don't know what that means."
"What exactly does that Young Prince Mu mean?" Duan Yunfei raised her head, showing an overbearing attitude.
Seeing Duan Yunfei like that, Mu Chuyang could only lower his head, hesitated for a moment, then said to Duan Yunfei: "That night, I saw Xiu Yu sneaking into the Yusong Institute, and followed him all the way. At that time, you were hiding in the big tree of the Yusong Institute, and I was right behind you."
Hearing Mu Chuyang's words, the expression on Duan Yunfei's face suddenly became ugly.
The mantis stalks the cicada, and the yellow sparrow follows. She didn't think that Mu Chuyang would be behind her back then.
"You had always suspected that this was Xiu Heng's conspiracy, adding your reaction yesterday, I knew that you would definitely not let this matter rest. That's why when I first arrived at Yusong Institute last night, I suspected that you had already arrived there. Thus, I carefully searched all around and quickly found you on a large tree in the middle of Yusong Institute. " Mu Chuyang slowly said as he nodded at Duan Yunfei.
"Then you …" Duan Yunfei was a little frightened as she raised her head to look at Mu Chuyang. She did not finish her words.
Mu Chuyang immediately understood what she meant. He raised his head to look at Duan Yunfei, and then, nodded at her. Seeing you following Xiu Huang and Xiu Yu as you left, I was curious as to what the two of them wanted to leave the palace city in the middle of the night. At the same time, I was worried about your safety. That's why I followed you from a distance, not too far away, into the inn to see the emperor of the Xiliang. "
As soon as Mu Chuyang finished speaking, Duan Yunfei's entire body went limp, and she was unable to say anything for a long while.
"Then why didn't you expose me in front of royal father just now?" Duan Yunfei lifted his head and looked at Mu Chuyang with an expressionless face.
Unexpectedly, Mu Chuyang actually gave a bland laugh, extended his hand and lightly tapped Duan Yunfei's forehead. "Why would I expose you in front of the emperor? I know that no matter what you do, you must do it for the Jin Country, the common people. "
As Mu Chuyang spoke emotionally from the side, Duan Yunfei's entire heart began to soften. She stood there blankly, unable to say a word.
"Although I followed you all to the Pleasing Hut outside the capital and saw the Emperor of Xiliang, I was too far away to hear what they had to say." Mu Chuyang frowned and continued to speak to Duan Yunfei. "So, Thirteen, can you tell me what you heard in the tavern last night? Why Emperor of Xiliang took such a huge risk and followed the envoys to our Jin Country?"
Hearing Mu Chuyang's question, Duan Yunfei couldn't hide it anymore, and could only tell what she heard last night in detail.
It was already the winter solstice, but today was a rare day of good weather. The sunlight from the sun cast long shadows of the two of them.
"I didn't expect it to be like this." Hearing Duan Yunfei's words, Mu Chuyang showed a look of sudden enlightenment, and couldn't help but sigh: "Truly, the world's parents are pitiful, and Emperor of Xiliang probably knows that he is gravely ill, which is why he is not far away, and braved the dangers of being discovered, to rush over to Jin Country to meet with his own youngest son."
"Mu Chuyang said with some emotion, as Duan Yunfei followed and exhaled. Sir Xiu Huang is indeed a pure and kind person. He is different from Xiu Heng, he does not have such deep shrewdness, and it is precisely because of this that Xiu Heng is more suitable than him to inherit the authority of the Xiliang. "
"I think that's why he voluntarily gave up." Mu Chuyang replied by the side as he gave a bitter laugh and nodded towards Duan Yunfei.
"However, with royal father's temperament, if this matter were to be reported to royal father, he would definitely be furious. However, too many people have been implicated in this matter. If we were to be found guilty because of this, I'm afraid it will cause panic in the court. " Duan Yunfei's brows tightly knitted together. She said those words to Mu Chuyang, then couldn't help but let out a sigh. That's why I hid this from royal father when I was in the palace. It was because I was afraid that he would implicate others after finding out. "
Mu Chuyang stood at the side and listened to what Duan Yunfei said. Then, she bent down and respectfully bowed to Duan Yunfei.
"What are you doing? Why are you suddenly bowing to me like that? Quickly, get up." Duan Yunfei jumped in shock and quickly helped Mu Chuyang up.
However, Mu Chuyang refused to get up and insisted on cupping his hands in front of Duan Yunfei and said: "Thirteenth Princess is wise and farsighted, my heart is kind and honest, I am truly ashamed of myself. In the great hall today, I nearly let down Thirteenth Princess's painstaking efforts due to a moment of impulse. I beg Thirteenth Princess to forgive me. "
Mu Chuyang rarely had such a serious moment, so he jumped right in front of his.
When Mu Chuyang had finished bowing, only then did Duan Yunfei rush over to help him up. She reached out her hand and lightly knocked on's forehead, then said to Mu Chuyang: "Young Prince Mu, what are you doing, you have truly destroyed me. Thank you, Young Prince Mu, for helping us out this time, I am deeply grateful from the bottom of my heart. "
The two of them chatted as they walked out of the palace.
In the empty great hall, only Yuwen Di and the palace maid on guard were left.
As Yuwen Di was reading the report, he suddenly laughed out loud.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" When the Eunuch Ming heard Yuwen Di's sudden laughter, he did not feel it was strange. He immediately bowed and said to Yuwen Di: "But if you have met with something happy, you should just say it. Let this servant be happy too."
It was only then that Yuwen Di raised his head upon hearing Eunuch Ming's words. He looked at the figures of Duan Yunfei and Mu Chuyang leave and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
Not to be said, not to be said!
