This is precisely the knot in Qiao Lian'er's heart.
Her expression darkened: "No."
"But after my cousin miscarried, she hid deep within the inner military headquarters and never showed herself, perhaps out of fear of retaliation?"
The emperor paused for a moment, then said, "Although I sympathize with Xinghe's plight, as the Son of Heaven, I must be fair in my dealings with people and matters, and I cannot punish someone based on mere speculation."
"However, I can assure you that the Milky Way will never encounter such turmoil again."
"Eunuch Qi, please assign a few top-notch palace guards to secretly protect Xinghe's safety, but keep them at a certain distance and maintain proper decorum, so as not to disturb his normal life."
Mu Xinghe paced back and forth in the courtyard, his expression shifting with unease.
Lian'er has been in the palace for quite a while now. I wonder what happened, and whether she offended the Emperor.
I was both nervous and frustrated that I didn't have much ability.
What was once an expectation for the future has now turned into deep sorrow.
Qiao Xi'er sat at her desk, but she had no interest in practicing calligraphy.
Although she didn't hear the content of Mu Xinghe and Qiao Lian'er's conversation, she could still feel the oppressive atmosphere.
Something must have happened again.
But she couldn't go out and ask Mu Xinghe, lest she put pressure on him. She knew they were trying to find a solution.
They've already worried enough about her.
As Qiao Lian'er entered the courtyard, Mu Xinghe immediately observed her expression and noticed that she seemed much more relaxed, which calmed him down.
Before anyone could ask, Qiao Lian'er said, "It's done."
"It's done?" Mu Xinghe was overjoyed.
Qiao Xi'er was inside the room, her ear pressed against the wall, her palm on the wall, and her lips moved slightly.
Qiao Lian'er looked towards their room: "Sister Xi'er, why don't you come out and listen too?"
Qiao Xi'er came out of the house, looking a little embarrassed. Lian'er knew she had been eavesdropping.
She sat down apologetically: "I just—"
"Sister Xi'er, the reason I didn't tell you before was because I was afraid you would feel uneasy. Now that the matter has been resolved."
Qiao Lian'er kept her voice low. Mu Xinghe was different now. The emperor said he would send out top imperial guards, but she didn't know where they were hiding. Although it was good to have someone to protect her, she would have to be more careful in the future to prevent any secrets from being leaked.
She recounted the events in the palace in detail.
The couple breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the Emperor was certain that Mu Xinghe was a blessed man, how could he believe anyone who said his birth date and time were unlucky?
However, the other party is unaware of these things yet, and will soon reveal them in a self-righteous manner, so just wait and see if they get slapped in the face.
“Brother Xinghe, from now on, there will be imperial guards watching you. Firstly, you won’t have to worry about being outside. Secondly, you’ll need to be more careful with your words and actions.”
"Okay, I understand." Mu Xinghe knew that this kind of thing had both advantages and disadvantages, but for now, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.
