After listening to the dean's story, Mu Yansong and Su Xiaoxiao looked at each other in surprise.

They had indeed guessed this possibility before.

But when they heard the whole story from the dean, they still found it hard to accept.

"Dean, are these all written in the letter?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the dean and asked the doubts in her heart.

The dean met her gaze and nodded.

"Yes, the late emperor wrote to me. Despite all his calculations, the emperor never anticipated that the late emperor would, in his final moments, write down everything in a letter. He also couldn't have imagined that the late emperor and I were not just allies by agreement, but also close friends who had shared life and death!"

As he spoke, the dean turned to look at Mu Yansong, with a smile on his face.

"But I didn't expect that my friend's son would be right beside me the entire time. If the emperor hadn't been so eager to kill you, I probably wouldn't have known your identity until now."

The dean walked slowly forward and came in front of Mu Yansong.

He raised his hand and patted his shoulder gently.

"My child, you have been hiding your identity and avoiding pursuers all these years. You have worked hard!"

Mu Yansong met his gaze and wanted to say something.

But he opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the two people and saw that they were silent. She couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Dean, you just said that you wanted to cooperate with us. How do we cooperate?"

"I also know someone in the court. You can go find him, maybe he can help you. But this is not foolproof. Mu Yansong, if you are afraid, you can choose to leave Canglong Academy and hide somewhere where no one knows you. But if you choose to leave quietly, then you must be prepared to hide for the rest of your life."

"Hide? The world is so big, it belongs to the king. Where can I hide?"

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and turned to look at Mu Yansong.

"Brother Asong, you can only survive if you reveal the emperor's true identity. I will accompany you to Yunshui City!"

"good!"

Mu Yansong nodded and agreed.

He has been hiding for more than ten years, and he doesn't want to hide anymore for the rest of his life.

Besides, he is no longer single now.

He met Su Xiaoxiao and made friends with Lu Ye and Zhao Zixu.

The servant lost his life for him.

He didn't want to see the friends he had made with great difficulty being implicated because of him.

Su Xiaoxiao was right. Only by exposing the emperor's true face could he survive.

And his friends can live uprightly in the sunshine.

Whether for himself or for his friends, he must go to Yunshui City!

"Since you have made your decision, I respect it. If you need anything, just tell me and I will do my best to help you."

As he spoke, the dean turned around and walked to the desk, picking up a pen and writing a letter.

He blew the ink on the letter dry, turned around and handed it to Mu Yansong.

"Take this letter and hurry to Yunshui City. As for the military camp, I'll find a way to delay it for you."

"Thank you, Dean!"

Mu Yansong took the letter, thanked the dean, and left with Su Xiaoxiao.

The dean looked at their backs as they left and sighed softly.

"They are two good children, but unfortunately their fates are difficult. I hope they can successfully expose the emperor's true face and comfort the late emperor's spirit in heaven."

…

Mu Yansong and Su Xiaoxiao took the letter and hurriedly left Canglong Academy.

They did not tell anyone about this, for fear that Luye and Zhao Zixu would find out and follow them into the adventure.

Although they are friends, this matter concerns the emperor, and Mu Yansong does not want to drag them into this mess.

Secondly, the more people go to Yunshui City, the more likely it is to attract attention.

I'm afraid that by then, before they can take any action, they will be assassinated by people sent by the emperor.

The two men traveled all night and arrived at Yunshui City in just five days.

Yunshui City is located at the foot of the emperor. The city is larger and more prosperous than Huacheng.

The two men took the letter written by the dean and found Yu Zhong, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Menzi handed the letter to Yu Zhong.

After Yu Zhong saw it, his hands trembled slightly.

"Where's the messenger?"

"Still outside the mansion."

"Quick, welcome the people in."

Menzi nodded slightly and took two steps back.

Before he could turn around, he saw Yu Zhong standing up suddenly.

"No, I want to go out and greet him myself!"

Menzi walked in front to lead the way.

When he reached the gate, he pointed at the two people in front of him.

"Master, the letter was sent by these two."

Hearing this, Yu Zhong stepped forward tremblingly.

He looked at Su Xiaoxiao and then at Mu Yansong.

He bent his knees and was about to kneel down to Mu Yansong.

"You...you really are the Seventh Emperor..."

"Master Yu, the streets are crowded and full of people." Su Xiaoxiao interrupted him, "My brother and I have been running around all the way and are a little thirsty. Could you please let us in and have a cup of tea?"

"Yes, of course. Please come in!"

Yu Zhong stepped aside to make way and made a gesture of invitation.

Mu Yansong nodded and took Su Xiaoxiao into the Yu family.

When Yu Zhong saw the two of them walk in, he hurriedly followed them.

Menzi frowned and scratched his head in confusion.

His master was very surprised today. Why was he so polite to the two children?

Could it be that these two kids have some extraordinary background?

But looking at the way they are dressed, they don’t look alike!

…

Mu Yansong and Su Xiaoxiao followed Yu Zhong into the front hall.

As soon as they sat down, a maid came forward and poured them two cups of tea.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Yu Zhong suddenly said, "Stand guard outside, and no one else can come in!"

"promise!"

The maid bowed and went out with the teapot.

Seeing her walking away, Yu Zhong withdrew his gaze and looked at Mu Yansong.

"Seventh Prince, the purpose of your visit to Yunshui City is clearly stated in the letter. The late emperor has been kind to me, and I will do my best to help you. However, this matter is a bit tricky to handle, and it will take some time. If Seventh Prince doesn't mind, why not stay with me for a few days?"

"Then I'm sorry to bother you, Master Yu!"

Mu Yansong was not polite.

He stood up and saluted Yu Zhong with his fists clasped.

Seeing this, Yu Zhong quickly stood up, walked up to him, and stroked his hand.

"Seventh Prince, you are embarrassing me."

Yu Zhong asked Mu Yansong to sit down, and after exchanging a few words with him, he sent someone to clean up two side rooms.

Mu Yansong and Su Xiaoxiao stayed in Yu Mansion temporarily.

After Su Xiaoxiao saw the maid who brought them here leave, she frowned and said, "Brother Asong, don't you think this matter is a little too smooth?"
