Li Zanran breathed a sigh of relief. Mu Xinghe hadn't impeached him in front of the emperor, which meant he had passed this test.
Once he got back, he erased all traces and acted as if nothing had happened.
Although he didn't achieve his goal this time, he at least kept his position and received two boxes of rewards.
In the end, Mu Xinghe was still too inexperienced. He wanted to get revenge, but the problem was that with his status and position, he had to carefully consider every word he said in front of the emperor.
Li Zanran felt contemptuous. He felt that he had figured out part of Mu Xinghe's personality, and dealing with him in the future would not be as difficult as he had imagined.
This time, the reason why the black fire was replaced with the black fire must be because of Qiao Lian'er's involvement. Mu Xinghe alone is not up to the task.
When Mu Xinghe retreated to a certain distance and turned around, something fell out of his sleeve.
He seemed a little flustered and quickly bent down to pick it up.
Eunuch Qi glanced at it and said, "Wait."
He knew very well that Mu Xinghe was a reliable person. Since he had finally gotten a chance to meet the emperor and something had fallen from his person, he was sure it wouldn't be for nothing.
Eunuch Qi approached Mu Xinghe and extended his hand: "Lord Mu, I think I see two pages of paper with foreign flags drawn on them. Although today is a celebration for foreign guests, you are carrying these, so I'm afraid we need to give you a clear explanation."
Li Zanran's hand trembled slightly under his sleeve, and his face turned pale instantly. He hadn't expected Mu Xinghe to start in this way.
Qiao Lian'er sat on one side of the dragon throne, looking quite interested.
Mu Xinghe is a good man. The Qiao family only has one civil official. If he can take charge on his own, it will greatly reduce the pressure on her in the future.
The emperor shifted his posture on the dragon throne, and his gaze became more somber.
Mu Xinghe readily handed the two pages to Eunuch Qi.
Eunuch Qi took another good look at the contents, and seemed to be startled. He quickly stepped forward and presented the two pages.
"Your Majesty, this page must have been torn from that book that compiles the totem culture of various countries. There are tear marks on the side. It is an introduction to Xiufeng Kingdom. The totem is actually black fire."
"As for this other page, the edges are neat, the ink is still fresh, it looks like it was just printed, this—"
The emperor picked up the two pages and read them over and over again, his expression darkening.
"Mu Xinghe, what's going on? How come you have two flag patterns from Xiufeng Kingdom on your body?"
