After the Queen Mother left, everyone was furious.
"The Queen Mother is going too far. How can she say that?" Mu Yu couldn't help but complain.
The Queen frowned slightly. "Don't say too much. The Queen Mother has been living in the palace for a long time. I don't even know what she's doing. Walls have ears. How dare you say anything?"
"Third brother, please leave the palace first. Let's talk to the Queen and go back to Kunlun Mountain together later." Mu Li said to Mu Yu.
"Okay, then I'll go and pack up first! Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Mu Yu is taking his leave!" After saying this, Mu Yu respectfully left the Yangxin Palace.
After everyone left, only the emperor, empress, Mu Li and Mo Xi were left in the hall.
"Mother, when did the Queen Mother return to the palace?" Mo Xi asked puzzledly.
"Three years ago, news came from somewhere that the two of you had perished in the space-time turbulence. Your father, overcome with rage, suddenly fainted. That's when the Queen Mother suddenly returned!" the Queen recalled. "With him also returned Prince Shun, your uncle and the Queen Mother's biological son!"
"So, the Queen Mother is not the Emperor's biological mother?" Mu Li asked in surprise.
"Yes. The current empress dowager is the successor to the empress. When she entered the imperial palace, Your Majesty was already the crown prince. He also has the support of the Grand Tutor and my Yun family, so his position is relatively stable!" The queen nodded and said.
"When Prince Shun was born, there were suggestions in the court that he should be made the Crown Prince. However, with the presence of the Mu, Yun, and Bai families, and the late Emperor's disapproval, the idea was abandoned."
"The rumors are spreading everywhere. The Queen Mother suddenly brought Prince Shun back to the capital. I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Mu Li pondered. "How old is Prince Shun now?"
"Prince Shun is the late emperor's late son, only a few years older than Xier!" said the queen.
"It seems they have ill intentions!" Mu Li said, "But right now, the most important thing is to find out the truth behind His Majesty's poisoning."
Mo Xi nodded: "Yes, let's start with this poisonous weed and see if we can find some clues."
"Okay, let's go to Kunlun tonight and ask my senior brother." Mu Li said.
"good."
"Li'er, Kunlun is so far away. It will probably take you a lot of time to go back and forth. Can His Majesty hold on here?" the Queen asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Crown Prince and I will be back soon. You don't have to worry about Your Majesty. Nothing will happen for the time being!" Mu Li said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, now that you're back, I feel at peace!" said the queen, holding Mu Li's hand.
"Mother, I am your son!" Mo Xi couldn't help but remind her.
"How can a son be as fragrant as a daughter? Li'er has been gone for ten years. She should be of marriageable age next year, right? Then I will ask His Majesty to confer the title of princess on you!" the Queen chattered on and on.
"Hehehe, thank you, your majesty." Mu Li said with a smile.
"It's still early, you should get going early and come back early!" The Queen and Mu Li stayed together for a while and said reluctantly.
"Okay, Your Majesty, take care. We'll be back soon." Mu Li said as she took out a lot of talismans from the space and stuffed them into the Queen's hands. "Your Majesty, keep these talismans and use them as you see fit. They're very simple. Throw them on anyone who comes!"
"Okay, okay, I'll keep it carefully, you guys go quickly!" urged the queen.
Mu Li and Mo Xi looked at each other, and disappeared in the palace the next second.
"Third brother, let's go back to Kunlun Mountain!" Mu Yu, who was waiting anxiously, was startled when he suddenly heard Mu Li's voice.
"Sister, how are we going? On horseback? Or in a carriage? I'll have someone arrange it!" Mu Yu asked.
"Third brother, haven't you practiced in these years?" Mu Li asked in surprise.
"I don't have much talent, so I only learned the basics..." Mu Yu said a little embarrassedly.
"Then let me take you flying today. Do you want to experience it?" Mu Li asked with a smile.
"Okay, okay. My sister has been gifted since she was young. Her cultivation must have improved greatly after so many years. Tell me the truth, what level have you reached now?" Mu Yu asked curiously.
Mu Li was stunned for a moment, "Brother Crown Prince, what realm am I in?"
"Go to Kunlun Mountain and ask your master and they will know. To be honest, I don't know what realm I have reached!" Mo Xi said with a smile.
"Yeah. Let's go!" Mu Li said as she summoned the Moli Sword. She and Mo Xi pulled Mu Yu onto the sword, one in front and one behind, and stood firmly on it.
"Third brother, I'm about to fly. You have to hold on to me tight. Don't be afraid. I'm very steady!" Mu Li said.
"Okay." Mu Yu said excitedly.
"Let's go!" Mu Li gave an order, and Mo Lijian flew into the air and flew towards Kunlun Mountain at a high speed.
"Look, there's someone flying in the sky!" Someone looked up and saw a flying sword flash across the sky, and shouted in surprise.
"I know, it's you who's blowing on the ground!" The person next to him looked up, saw nothing, and said unhappily.
"Really, just now, it disappeared in a flash!" the man explained.
"Tsk..." Others didn't believe him and thought he was talking nonsense.
"Wow, so fast, so exciting!" Mu Yu was scared at first, but later she shouted excitedly, "Thai pants are so hot! Hahaha..."
The three of them sped all the way and soon appeared above Kunlun Mountain.
"Master, Senior Brother, I'm back!!!" Mu Li shouted excitedly, "Master, Master..."
Mu Li's shouts echoed throughout Kunlun Mountain. Soon, an old man with a sage-like appearance and a group of fellow practitioners came out to greet them.
"Junior sister, you are finally back!" The senior brothers gathered around.
Mu Li excitedly went up to hug everyone. After some greetings, they walked into the house together.
