"This, this, Your Highness..."

The huge venue was surrounded by countless people, but not a single person dared to help Mu Xueyao up.

After all, it was Mu Jingfeng who made the move. Unless he gave the order, only the principal would dare to help. But the principal was comfortable and didn't want to get involved with the royal family, so he simply stood on the high platform and quietly watched the show.

"Take her with you and return to the palace together."

Mu Jingfeng's gaze swept over the unconscious Mu Xueyao, and he finally felt a pang of pity.

After all, she was his daughter whom he had doted on for over a decade. Although he was blinded by anger, he still felt a pang of pity seeing Mu Xueyao lying there all alone.

"Yes." The subordinate was very perceptive and quickly went to Mu Xueyao, supporting her arm and helping her up.

"Principal, we need to go back and take care of some family matters first." He could no longer manage a formal smile and looked at the principal expressionlessly.

Knowing he was in a bad mood, the principal didn't say much, "Okay, let's get together again next time."

After exchanging greetings, Mu Jingfeng turned to look at Mu Qingyun. Although he still couldn't quite believe it, his tone softened considerably as he spoke to her, "Come with me."

Mu Qingyun followed, not forgetting to give Su Qiluo a reassuring look.

Su Qiluo nodded, accepting her silent reassurance.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

As she walked, she saw a familiar face, stopped, and turned to look at the group of staff.

Her sudden words caught everyone off guard, and everyone was wondering what shocking thing this newly crowned princess was about to say.

Mu Qingyun made a precise strike, staring at the staff member who had spoken rudely to her earlier. The staff member was now covered in cold sweat and trembling uncontrollably.

He had no idea that this person was actually a princess. If he had known, he wouldn't have dared to say those things even if he had eight hundred lives!

“This friend once said to me that I was born of a mother but raised without one.” Mu Qingyun feigned grievance and pouted, glancing at Mu Jingfeng furtively. “I’m not one to stir up trouble, but can you tolerate the things he said?”

"I, I didn't!" The staff member instinctively wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy, but then he remembered that this king never made anyone kneel to him; he believed in equality for all.

So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come out, bowing repeatedly in apology, "I really didn't say that, it was all her fault..."

The sound stopped abruptly, and the staff member's expression changed drastically. He couldn't very well say that Mu Qingyun had slandered him, could he? She was a princess now!

He couldn't move forward, and he couldn't retreat either; now he truly understood what despair meant.

It was all my fault for being so sharp-tongued. I only waited a little while, was it really necessary to say such insulting things?

"It was my fault. I'm sorry. I was blinded by emotion and said those things."

Mu Qingyun just wanted to laugh when she heard this. That's how people are. If her identity hadn't changed today, how could this person have mistaken her for someone else?

"Apologize to me, Qingyun, and her mother." Mu Jingfeng was originally too lazy to pay attention to this kind of person, but the phrase "born of a mother but raised by one" was used on Mu Qingyun, which was an extreme irony to him.

He was the one who gave birth to Mu Qingyun but left her without a mother to raise her, and he was the one who caused Yue Heng and her daughter to suffer endless humiliation and displacement after her death.

Ha, not to mention others, even he himself looks down on himself. With such behavior, how could he have been worthy of Yueheng's love in the first place?

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, I'm sorry; Queen, I'm sorry; Princess, I'm sorry." The staff member bowed and apologized, looking extremely obsequious, as if they were completely different people from their previous arrogant and sullen demeanor.

After hearing his apology, Mu Jingfeng looked up at the principal on the high platform.

The principal suddenly met Mu Jingfeng's gaze and roughly understood what was going on.

Looking at the staff member who was bending over, he said loudly, "As a staff member, your task and responsibility is to guide the contestants to where they should be, but you said such insulting things to them."

The review team will check his file and expel him from the military academy.

"Yes." The head of the review team stood up and responded.

"No, no, I was wrong. You can punish me in other ways, but please don't fire me!" The staff member panicked immediately; he hadn't expected this outcome.

Isn't it said that military academies are not under the jurisdiction of the empire? Why did the principal personally expel him just because he insulted the princess a few times?

"Your Highness, I beg you, please spare my life!"

"It's not that I'm giving you a way out, it's that you didn't leave yourself a way out." Mu Qingyun stared coldly at the obsequious person in front of her, her words filled with icy coldness. "Watch your mouth, be a little more tolerant. If you offend someone, some people won't hold it against you, but some people will definitely hold it against you."

"If it weren't for my change of status, would you apologize to me?" Mu Qingyun said expressionlessly, her words, though harsh, sounding nonchalant.

He should actually be thankful that this wasn't ancient times, otherwise, based on those few words, his entire family would have been executed.

Having resolved this matter, Mu Qingyun looked up at Mu Jingfeng and asked, "Didn't you say you were going back to the palace?"

Despite her rather disrespectful tone, Mu Jingfeng didn't feel offended.

After all, he owed so many people.

"Walk."

Ignoring the staff member's wailing cries, Mu Jingfeng strode forward, and some of his subordinates who had come with him hurriedly came down from the platform and followed behind him.

They came in a grand procession, and they left in a grand procession.

He came for Mu Xueyao, for the third test of military academy freshmen and for enrollment, but he left only because of Mu Qingyun.

She and Mu Jingfeng got into a limousine.

The extended version of the car is not designed to accommodate more people; it's simply for enjoyment.

Originally, one of his subordinates wanted to come in as well, but Mu Jingfeng stopped him.

Upon entering, Mu Qingyun looked back from where she got into the car and saw that the interior was almost like a luxury suite in a hotel.

Everything was provided, even sofas and tea sets.

They're really rich.

"Would you like some tea? By the way, you little girls probably all like milk tea." As he spoke, Mu Jingfeng took out a small bottle of powder from the drawer under the tea set.

"No need, I prefer tea." Mu Qingyun glanced at the powdery substance in Mu Jingfeng's hand, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Surprisingly, even though plants are extinct in this world, they still have tea to drink. I guess their tea is made using modern technology.

She wanted to try what tea made with modern technology tasted like.
