"Your Majesty, I have failed in my duties. Please punish me!"

In the temporary palace, Mu Ci, who had just returned from Anyang, knelt on the ground as soon as he entered the door and apologized to the emperor in front of him.

Such a big thing happened in Anyang City today. It is obviously impossible to say that she, the commander-in-chief of the Tianwei, has no responsibility at all.

You must know that the Tianwei had already learned about the unusual phenomenon in Anyang, but the situation was unclear for a while, and the emperor did not choose to control Anyang's defender Song Jilong in time.

These were the days when the Tianwei had been keeping a close eye on the situation. Who would have thought that some refugees would rebel silently?

In just one hour, the rebellious refugees broke into Anyang City and killed the officials there.

The Heavenly Guards were completely unaware of all this!

Although she didn't know what the real emperor would do in such a situation, Yu Zhu was a little confused by Mu Ci's actions at this moment.

After all, she has always regarded herself as a servant. She had to take His Majesty's place these past two days, which was quite stable.

But Mu Ci knelt down to apologize, which made Yu Zhu at a loss, and she hurried forward to pull her up.

"Commander Mu...get up quickly!"

"This matter itself is my fault...I was not thoughtful enough. It's not your fault."

Mu Ci naturally blamed herself in her heart, but seeing the emperor coming forward to help her, she could no longer refuse, so she had to slowly stand up.

"No, Your Majesty, this matter is indeed due to my incompetence. The Heavenly Guards were unaware of the Anyang defenders' actions..."

After bowing, Mu Ci still spoke like this.

"I understand your meaning, but since it's a refugee rebellion, it's unpredictable. Ultimately, it's the officials in Anyang who are so audacious and reckless, deceiving the emperor and hiding the truth from their superiors!"

Yuzhu kept explaining Anyang's affairs. As for other matters, she couldn't make a decision at the moment.

She had anxiously asked the magic mirror many times, but she had never received a reply from His Majesty.

Hearing this somewhat strange reply, Mu Ci couldn't help but look up at the emperor.

After hesitating for a moment, she said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, there must be something fishy about the refugees' rebellion. Your Majesty, do you need me to investigate thoroughly?"

Hearing this, Yu Zhu could only nod in agreement, "Alright, I'll trouble Commander Mu then. If there's nothing else, you can go ahead and get busy."

It was precisely the last sentence that Mu Ci felt something was wrong and he couldn't help but look up again.

It wasn't a feeling, she really felt that the few times she met His Majesty recently, some of the things he said seemed to be inconsistent with His Majesty's temperament.

Many things should not be handled in that way.

But Mu Ci wanted to ask several times, but gave up because of his status.

Looking up at this moment, there seemed to be nothing wrong with His Majesty in front of her, so she could only suppress the doubts in her heart.

"I...will take my leave."

After Mu Ci left, Yu Zhu's tense mood eased a little.

She patted her chest, thought for a moment, and then turned and walked towards the magic mirror in the bedroom again.

When I saw the magic mirror, I found that the original mirror seemed to have changed.

At this time, the magic mirror was covered with a black mist.

The color of the mist was very mysterious, just like the demonic energy that accompanied the magic mirror.

But Yuzhu also understood very well that the Magic Mirror was just a name given by His Majesty, and there didn't seem to be so much fog gathered in front of the mirror before.

"Your Majesty, you are now the emperor, so you really need to get used to these things."

Before Yuzhu could express her opinion, Leng Youyou suddenly spoke.

This frightened her so much that she waved her hands again.

"How can you say that? I, as a servant, am only temporarily covering for His Majesty. Ultimately, facing these things, I still feel guilty..."

Then the magic mirror reminded: "Perhaps you will be the emperor for more than just these two days. You will need to get used to it after a while."

Hearing the implication of these words, Yuzhu's face suddenly turned bitter.

Still need to... get used to it?

Doesn't the magic mirror mean that Your Majesty should continue to stay with Minister Chu and put himself in danger?

When Yuzhu thought about having to deal with such complicated court affairs and the flattery of ministers, she felt like the sky was falling.

But as she followed, she felt inexplicably more worried.

Your Majesty is so beautiful. If you stay with Minister Chu for a long time, what will happen if you encounter any danger?

"Everything is simply done according to my heart. In fact... if Your Majesty is greedy for power, this demon can offer some advice to ensure Your Majesty stays in this position for a long time!"

Suddenly the magic mirror mentioned it again, and even at the end the tone was full of temptation.

Yuzhu was stunned.

She never imagined that the magic mirror... would have such thoughts.

Isn't it obvious from the words of the magic mirror that it wants me to have some extremely rebellious thoughts?

But Yuzhu was obviously a loyal servant. When she took over the position of His Majesty, she was always in fear and never coveted any of the rights that came with it.

When she looked at the ordinary magic mirror in front of her again, she suddenly felt a sense of fear, and then cold sweat broke out on her back.

Since this mirror is telling me these things today, I'm afraid it has had impure motives since it approached Your Majesty.

With this thought in mind, Yuzhu could no longer sit still. She only thought about when she could meet His Majesty and tell him about the magic mirror.

After all, she had been communicating with His Majesty through the magic mirror these past two days.

But after the magic mirror was proven to be unreliable, relying on it again was obviously a trap.
