The emperor, who was reviewing memorials, suddenly looked up and saw Commander Meng walking in hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, I seem to hear Mu Nanjin's voice, did you hear it?"
The emperor stood up excitedly after hearing this and said, "Did you also hear Mu Nanjin's voice? I thought I heard it wrongly. By the way, she just said that she is back. Did she return to the capital of Daqian Kingdom?"
Commander Meng was pleasantly surprised: "She's back?"
Ever since Mu Nanjin left, I inexplicably felt that the capital city had become much quieter.
The officials all went on duty in a rigid manner, not much happened, and it was particularly boring.
The emperor was not sure either: "Send someone to take a look."
"Yes." Commander Meng stepped back.
The emperor was no longer in the mood to review memorials and paced back and forth in the imperial study with an anxious look on his face.
A few years ago, he wanted to lead thousands of troops to destroy Mu Nanjin, but when she left, he felt indescribably sad, and for a long time he couldn't adapt to the days without her.
Now that he knew she was back, he was extremely happy and delighted that she was back, but he was also worried that they had heard it wrong. The last news he received made him feel disappointed.
At the same time, the officials who were working in the office all shook their hands when they heard Mu Nanjin's voice, leaving a mark on the documents.
"I seemed to hear Mu Nanjin's voice? Could it be that I was hallucinating because I missed her too much?"
"I heard her voice too. The plague god is back."
"I miss her a lot. With her around, there's no case that can't be solved."
"Ah, she's back. She's not going to harm us again, is she?"
"If she hadn't let her true feelings slip, she wouldn't have done anything to hurt us."
"I'm sweating coldly. Everyone should think about whether they have done anything to offend the imperial court in recent years."
The bustling atmosphere suddenly quieted down, and everyone was reflecting on themselves.
The new official was curious: "Who is Mu Nanjin?"
"I'm telling you..." The old official explained to the new official: "In short, don't mess with her."
New official: “…”
Is it really that terrible? When Liu Qianhu and his men from the Jinyiwei Imperial Guard heard Mu Nanjin's voice, they jumped up excitedly.
"Mu Nanjin is back? Is she really back?"
Liu Qian asked for leave from Captain Liu: "Dad, I want to go back with Brother Yang and Brother Xu to have a look."
Captain Liu said quickly: "Go, go. If you see her coming back, send someone to tell us immediately."
"good."
Liu Qian and his men left the Duwei Mansion at a rapid speed.
On their way back, they met Si Yuhuan who also hurried out of the Imperial College.
She quickly called Liu Qian and the others: "Master Liu, I heard the girl's voice. Is she back?"
"I don't know. We are rushing back to check now."
"I'll go back and take a look too."
Si Yuhuan quickly got on the carriage and went back with them.
When they were about to reach the Mu Mansion, they saw many more carriages on the road, and they were official carriages.
The people in the car quietly lifted the curtain and looked out like thieves, but when they met Si Yuhuan's eyes, they lowered the curtain awkwardly.
Yang Bo smiled and said, "It seems that all the officials have heard the news that the girl has returned, and they all want to confirm whether the girl has returned."
Xu Cheng said happily: "I hope the girl is really back."
The housekeeper was shocked by them: "What girl? Which girl?"
Liu Qian asked anxiously, "Miss Mu, hasn't Miss Mu come back yet?"
"You mean the master?" The housekeeper was stunned: "He hasn't come back yet."
"Uncle Xu, you didn't lie to us, did you? How could she not come back?"
Liu Qian thought that the housekeeper was playing a joke on them, so he quickly went to the backyard to look for someone: "Girl, girl..."
The housekeeper following behind them was both helpless and curious: "My lords, the master really hasn't come back. I wonder why you think the girl is back? Are you hallucinating because you think about it during the day and at night?"
Liu Qian and the others couldn't explain it to him clearly: "Did the girl really not come back?"
The housekeeper smiled bitterly: "How dare I deceive you all, and we are all waiting for the master, hoping that she will come back soon."
Liu Qian's eyes flashed with panic: "Did we really make a mistake?"
Xu Cheng excitedly retorted: "Even if they were wrong, it's impossible for so many people to make mistakes."
"What I mean is that it's possible that the girl said those words in an excited state, and then her voice was transmitted back to Daqian from afar, and we thought she was back."
Liu Qian once heard his father say that when Mu Nanjin was excited, her voice could be heard from far away, but it was unknown how far.
Xu Cheng didn't accept what he said: "Impossible."
Si Yuhuan was calmer than them: "The girl only said that she is back, but she didn't say where she went back to. She may have gone to the border of Daqian Kingdom, or she may have returned to the outside of Kyoto. If she went back to the outside of Kyoto, it would take some time to get back. Besides, she has been away for so many years and has long felt unfamiliar with the capital. She needs to wander around slowly to adapt to the changes in the capital."
Yang Bo nodded: "Master Si is right, we have been waiting for so many years, we don't need this much time."
Si Yuhuan added: "Let's go to the lobby and wait for her."
"good."
They returned to the hall, however, they never expected that the first thing Mu Nanjin did after returning was not to see them, but to go to the brothel.
Mu Nanjin looked at the brothel, which was more luxurious and lively than before, and sighed: "Feng Sinan has taken good care of it."
[Uh, that’s not right…]
[Feng Sinon has returned to the cultivation world in recent years, so he can’t take care of it. In other words, the one who manages the brothel is…]
【emperor!?】
【The Emperor is indeed a good man. 】
Thunder Hammer glanced at her: "You want to go in?"
"Not yet."
Mu Nanjin stood on the street opposite Xiaoqing Tower for a while before leaving, then walked slowly towards the Mu Mansion.
The closer she got to the Mu Mansion, the more official carriages there were, almost blocking her way back.
[Why are there so many official carriages parked here? ]
[Is there a high-ranking official living near the Mu Mansion? But besides the Tang family, there is no place suitable for a high-ranking official to live near the Mu Mansion. ]
Mu Nanjin glanced at the carriages and saw that people in several carriages quietly lifted the curtains to peek, and then hurriedly lowered the curtains as if they had seen a ghost.
Then, the other carriages did the same, raising the curtains and then quickly lowering them.
【Something is wrong.】
【There is a problem.】
[There must be something wrong with this sneaky behavior. Let me take a look at what these official carriages are doing here.]
Before Mu Nanjin had time to open the news gossip, he heard someone happily shouting, "Master Mu." (End of this chapter)
