Zhu Xinci had talked about this issue with Mu Beiche multiple times but had always refuted it. Zhu Xinci knew that her own child had been dead set on following Mu Yefan ever since she was young, and now that Mu Yefan had returned, he was afraid that Mu Beiche would really want to give up this identity.

Zhu Xinci was panicking, but there was nothing she could do. No matter how much she liked him, in this man's world, Zhu Xinci was just a tiny little girl.

Xiao Cui was a little worried about the Imperial Consort, because the Imperial Consort had really decreased in speed recently. However, Xiao Cui was also unable to help the Imperial Consort share their worries.

However, he still sent people to find Mu Beiche.

When Mu Beiche came over, Zhu Xinci was in the middle of paying respects to Buddha, so Mu Beiche made a silent gesture, causing all the female servants to leave. Xiao Cui worriedly looked at Mu Beiche and Zhu Xinci, but also left.

When Zhu Xinci asked Xiao Cui to pass an incense to him, she realized that it was Mu Beiche who was standing behind him, eyes filled with surprise and helplessness. Zhu Xinci immediately stood up and held onto Mu Beiche's hand, "Bei Che, why did you suddenly come over?"

"I was in the palace today, so I came to visit mother. I fear that mother misses me."

"Do you still remember your mother? The older you are, the more you can't stay. What have you been doing outside recently? Why did you suddenly come to the palace today? Was it the emperor who called you?"

"Yes, it's the royal father who has summoned me and Nine."

Hearing Mu Yefan's name, Zhu Xinci's face immediately changed, "Why are you still calling Mu Yefan?"

"Ninth Brother has just returned, it's only right for royal father to take care of him. Ninth Brother has suffered so much over these years, so mom, don't be so hostile towards Ninth Brother. I remember you liking Ninth Brother too."

"It's all because of you that I've known Ninth Brother and Ninth Brother since I was young. I can't remember your mother at all."

"Mother, how could your son? Isn't your son here to see you?"

"Then tell me, did the emperor say anything to you today, or Mu Yefan?"

"It's nothing, it's just that Royal Grandmother helped royal father recognize an adopted daughter."

"Aren't there a lot of foster sons these days? Where did they get their foster daughter from?"

"This girl is very powerful. She was able to cure Royal Grandmother's many years of illness, so royal father agreed."

"A husband can become the emperor's daughter, but what's wrong with the emperor recently? What else? Did he say anything else?"

"Mother, some things don't belong to me in the first place, so please don't force me, okay? As long as I am happy, I will live a peaceful life, and I will definitely reach that high position."

"Che Er, do you know what you're saying?"

Mu Beiche knew that his mother was angry, but no matter if it was the emperor's decision or his own decision, as long as this throne was meant to be given to Mu Yefan, he would definitely not be able to fight over it with Mu Yefan.

"Mother, I know what I want. In the past, when Ninth Brother didn't come back, I will do as you say, but now that Ninth Brother has returned, whether it is Emperor Uncle or royal father, Ninth Brother has always had the best opinion of me. I am truly inferior to Ninth Brother in every aspect, so there is really no need to fight for anything."

"Mu Beiche, I really did not expect that you would speak such words to me after I painstakingly cultivated you for such a long time."

"Does mother not want her son to be happy other than the throne?"

"If you treat Mu Yefan like that, then is Mu Yefan truly treating you sincerely? Does Mu Yefan really treat you as a brother? Is there something strange about him suddenly coming back? Your royal father is confused, and even if you did not follow along to persuade me, you would have helped your royal father criticize me instead."

"Mom, that's not what I meant. I just feel that I'm not suitable to be the emperor, but that's what I'm thinking about. If Mom feels that it's inappropriate, then I have no other choice."

"Is that what you think?"

Mu Beiche didn't hesitate this time, "I had originally wanted to return the throne to Ninth Brother. Since royal father also had this thought, then my son naturally wouldn't refuse."

"Alright." "I, Zhu Xinci, have truly raised a good son who doesn't think of helping others seek the throne. I even thought that what I had done was right."

"Mother, if you continue to be like this, there really is nothing more to say between us."

"Who exactly is Mu Yefan to you, to be treated like this, to the point where you don't even want your mother anymore."

"I didn't. Mother, I didn't leave you. If I don't become the crown prince, then I don't want you. This matter wasn't something I could decide."

"But I can't see that you even have the slightest intention to fight over it."

"I didn't have a son in the first place. Mother, let's leave this matter at that. The throne belongs to Ninth Brother. As long as Ninth Brother is here, I won't change the way I do it."

"Very good, I don't want to see you anymore."

"Mother."

"Get out."

Mu Beiche left helplessly. When he saw Xiao Cui at the door, he said, "The Imperial Consort Empress is not in a good mood these few days. You guys help the This King take care of her.

"Yes." Xiao Cui replied smartly, but she could tell that His Royal Highness the Prince of Bravehearts and the did not reconcile at all. Instead, it was a huge argument.

After exiting the room, Mu Beiche felt that his mood had not relaxed at all, but instead, had become even harder to calm. His mother's way of thinking had really troubled Mu Beiche, which man would not have the thought of dominating the king? But Mu Beiche felt that all of this was not that important compared to his kinship with Mu Yefan, and it was a pity that Imperial Consort would never understand this principle.

Song Lingyi had recently gone to find Mu Yefan, but she kept on knocking against the wall. Mu Yefan had mostly closed her door, which meant he was not home, and even if he blocked his way, Mu Yefan could still casually walk away from Song Lingyi.

Song Lingyi had never been ignored like this, and immediately after, she heard about Bai Yixuan being conferred as a princess, but she never would have thought that the Folk Girl would actually fly onto a branch and transform into a phoenix in just a few days.

When Song Lingyi went to look for Song Lingyi, she was indeed on duty. This Song Lingyi had long been the number one person who did not want to see him, so Chu Lun did not hesitate to open his mouth and say, "I'm sorry Miss Song, our Prince is currently resting and it's not convenient to see guests."

"Rest, your master doesn't even go down the mountain to rest, do you really think that I, Song Lingyi, am a fool?"

"Miss Song, this subordinate did not say that. These words were said by you, Miss Song, so please feel free to say it. Our Prince is currently resting."

"Get out of my way."

"I'm sorry Miss Song, we can't give way. Our duty is to guard the Prince Mo's Mansion's gate and not let anyone who has ulterior motives enter."

"You mean to say I have evil intentions?" Song Lingyi was almost angered to the point of laughing.

Chu Lun continued in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "This subordinate did not have that intention, Miss Song said those words himself."

"Alright, if I were to touch the King of Mu, I might not be able to.

Just as Chu Lun was about to speak, Mu Yefan came out. He frowned at the overbearing Song Lingyi and said, "Let her in."

Chu Lun immediately gave way to him, and angrily brought Qian Ning to the Prince Mo's Mansion.

Mu Yefan did not like to take care of the Duke Palace, and since most of the people in the Duke Palace were shadow guard s, there was no crude servant girl, maidservant s. Looking at her, she looked a little desolate, and as it was almost dusk, there was not even a single light on in the courtyard.

Mu Yefan did not turn back, he only coughed twice, "What are you lighting the lamp for?"

"Isn't it dark at night? I'll be scared."

Mu Yefan sneered, "What does your fear have to do with me?"

"Mu Yefan, I'm your fiancee. Don't tell me you don't know?"

"I know, but so what? I didn't agree to it, nor did you agree. Why are you being so serious?"

"Are you still thinking about Bai Yixuan?"

It just so happens that you know in advance that even if I really have to marry you in the future due to the circumstances, it's not because I like you, but because I have to marry you. But don't worry, this kind of life will definitely not last, so I suggest that you retract your feelings for me, and not be too serious.

"Mu Yefan, are you speaking human words?"

"Did you hear what I said? I'm not going to take back what I said. What did you come here for? If you have something to say, then say it quickly?"

"Mu Yefan, do you hate me just like that?"

Mu Yefan shook his head, "You're not enough to make me hate you. In my heart, you're simply insignificant, so I really can't hate words of such severity."

"Mu Yefan, you will regret this."

"You better not let me know about you finding trouble with Bai Yixuan again. Otherwise, even if you are a woman, I will still properly teach you what it means to not be able to bear the consequences."

Song Lingyi really could not stay any longer. She saw a cold and sinister fear in Mu Yefan's eyes. This was a threat to her, but the person in front of her was so fearless.

Qian Ning watched his young miss' trembling back, and knew in her heart that even if his young miss really married this For the king his royal highness in the future, she would definitely not be happy.

After Song Lingyi returned home, she started to cry. No matter who tried to persuade him, it would be useless, until Song Xuan Wang returned home and found out that his darling granddaughter was bullied.

"That's what Mu Yefan said."

Qian Ning nodded her head, "That's right, the For the king his royal highness does not seem to like the young miss at all. It seems that the reason she is so angry is because the young lady had some bad luck with the white girl a few days ago."

"That Bai Yixuan is just a Folk Girl. Does she really think that she is a real princess now? Since Mu Yefan is so rude to Ling Yi, don't blame me for this."

"Your Royal Highness, did you already have a plan in mind?" Qian Ning asked.

"This King has heard a secret recently."

"Your Highness, what have you heard?"

"Mu Yefan's life is probably not as simple as it looks on the surface. It is said that when Mu Beiche brought Mu Yefan to the palace to see the emperor, someone brought out a bowl of blood and water."

Qian Ning did not understand, "What does that mean?"

"Don't you know that there's something called a blood test?"

"Could it be that Mu Yefan is really the emperor's biological son? Isn't the King of Mu a Ninth Prince?"

"This King heard that the Empress of the Emperor and First Emperor, who was also Mu Yefan's mother, was once a lover."

Qian Ning was shocked.

"So since it's Mu Yefan who isn't willing to cooperate with me, then we can only let him down.
