Five miles away from the capital, three men wearing veiled hats and riding on fine horses were walking slowly on the official road.
The man on the right narrowed his eyes as he looked at the road ahead: "We returned to Beijing secretly this time, and we don't know if the emperor has received the news."
The man in the middle remained silent.
The man on the left said, "The emperor has many guards around him. Maybe he sent them to secretly follow us when we left the city, and then report our every move to the emperor."
The man on the right immediately refuted him: "Impossible. Don't you think about who our master is? He is a powerful state master. Who has the ability to evade his eyes and secretly monitor us?"
The man on the left rolled his eyes at him and said, "Since you trust the master so much, why bother to guess whether the emperor has received the news of our return to the city?"
"You..." The man on the right angrily complained to the man in the middle: "Master, look, Yuxia is bullying me again."
Yuxia imitated him and said in a coquettish tone: "Master, Shuyin is really not suitable for dressing up as a man. She is too feminine and makes people feel goosebumps all over."
"Your Highness." Shuyin was so angry that she whipped him with the horsewhip.
Feng Sinan, who was sandwiched between them, suddenly pulled the reins and whipped him.
Shuyin's face turned pale, and she quickly threw away the whip: "Master, are you okay? I didn't mean it just now."
Feng Sinan looked ahead without saying a word.
Shuyin followed his line of sight and saw tens of thousands of palace guards standing in front of her. She suddenly frowned and said, "Master, they are the imperial guards and the Jinyiwei."
Yuxia was puzzled: "Their presence here means that the emperor is also here, but why are they here? They are not really here to pick us up, are they?"
"impossible."
As soon as Shuyin finished his rebuttal, a bright yellow figure came running over in a hurry, surrounded by ministers.
"National Master——"
When the emperor saw the three men on horseback, his eyes lit up and he picked up his dragon robe and ran over regardless of his status.
"Your Majesty, please walk slowly, be careful not to fall." The chief eunuch caught up with the emperor and supported him.
Shuyin couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Are you really here to pick us up?!"
Yuxia was even more puzzled: "We were wearing veils, how did they recognize us?"
Feng Sinan jumped off his horse and lifted the white veil on his hat, revealing a handsome face that surpassed that of an immortal.
He raised his hand and said, "Your Highness."
"Master, you are finally back." The emperor excitedly held Feng Sinon's hand and said, "I have been waiting for you for so long."
This was the first time Feng Si Nan saw the emperor lose his composure like this, and he frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, what are you doing..."
Before the emperor could answer, a female voice as clear and pleasant as a silver bell rang out excitedly.
[Wow, the people of Daqian Kingdom don’t lie to me. The national teacher is really good-looking, even better looking than a banished immortal. If someone says he is a god, I would believe it.]
Feng Sinan, who was about to pull his hand back, paused slightly and glanced at everyone indifferently.
The emperor and his ministers looked normal, and even Yuxia and Shuyin did not react at all.
Did he hear it wrong?
[Perfect facial features, upright and prominent outlines, black eyes like the white snow on the Tianshan Mountains, clean and not a bit cold, but eyelashes like two small fans that stir people's hearts, making people want to get close but dare not get close, it's just too good. Slender and tall figure, should be the legendary type who looks thin when dressed and has flesh when undressed. ]
[Oh, I really want to take off the Imperial Master's clothes to see if his figure is as good as I thought.]
Feng Simon: “…”
“Ahem…”
The emperor leaned forward and whispered, "Master, do you hear someone talking?"
Feng Sinon frowned and nodded: "The Emperor heard it too? What is going on?"
"Let's go back to the palace... er, no, let's go to your Dengxing Pavilion and talk in detail."
The chief eunuch immediately opened his voice and said, "Go up to the Star Pavilion."
A team of more than 10,000 people marched back to the city in a mighty procession.
Only after they arrived at Dengxing Pavilion did the emperor allow everyone to have lunch.
[Great, I can finally eat. If you don’t give me food, I will kill the king with a knife.]
Mu Nanjin left happily.
Civil and military officials: "..."
I don't know how good it is to speak out your inner thoughts. You won't be beheaded even if you say such outrageous words.
The emperor glared at her from behind, and after taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down his anger. Then he and Feng Sinan climbed to the top floor of Dengxing Pavilion.
"Master, what you just heard was the inner voice of a little girl, and this incident started more than half a month ago..."
More than half a month ago, he was on a secret tour and encountered an assassin. He was then rescued by a group of Jinyiwei who were on business outside. One of the Jinyiwei was Mu Nanjin.
At that time, Mu Nanjin was scratched on the arm by the assassin's knife and fainted.
When she woke up the next day, the emperor and the officials in the capital who had official seals heard her inner voice and discovered from her inner voice that she actually knew the secrets of all of them.
In order to prevent the secret from being leaked, he once sent people to the Tang family to assassinate Mu Nanjin, but the people he sent never returned. It is unknown whether she was killed by the Tang family guards or silenced by her uncle.
The emperor had failed many times and had to temporarily give up the idea of killing her. However, he was worried about her being at ease outside, so he promoted her to the ninth rank of Jinyiwei and kept her by his side under guard.
Later, they discovered that Mu Nanjin not only knew their secrets, but also the secrets of other countries, which helped Daqian avoid crises many times. Therefore, he had been holding back and planned to wait for the national teacher to come back before deciding how to deal with her.
Feng Si Nan frowned slightly: "Besides the Emperor and the officials in the capital who have official seals, who else can hear her thoughts?"
"The Queen Mother, the Empress, and several concubines with imperial seals can also hear it."
"Can't the prince and princess hear it? Can the officials who have official seals hear it?"
The emperor shook his head: "I can't hear anything."
Feng Si Nan's eyes flashed with surprise: "There is such a strange thing."
No wonder he always felt that something beyond his control was going to happen in the past half month, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed back in such a hurry.
Feng Sinan quickly counted on his fingers, his brows becoming increasingly furrowed.
The emperor asked anxiously, "Master, have you figured it out? Should we not keep this person?"
Feng Sinan put down his hand: "I can't figure out the cause and consequence for now, so it's better for the emperor not to touch her. Now that she is from our Daqian country, she will definitely not do anything to harm Daqian country. We should try not to be her enemy, and we can use her voice to deal with other countries. Also, we must not let her know that we can hear her voice, and we must not let people who can't hear her voice know about it, so that she won't reveal top-secret information to us after knowing it."
"Just do as the Imperial Master says." The emperor murmured, "Imperial Master, do you think I should promote her to a higher position? Let her be my personal bodyguard so that she can hear more things?"
"Just do as usual, don't let her get suspicious."
"good."
The Imperial Master looked out the window and whispered, "Hope is a blessing, not a curse."
