"Haha, looking at Second Brother just now, anyone who didn't know better would think you and this woman already knew each other," the First Prince teased.
"How...how is this possible?" Mu Junhan looked to the side with a somewhat unnatural gaze.
"Father, what's going on? The hunting grounds were heavily guarded, how could a woman suddenly appear?" Mu Junyao asked, puzzled.
Emperor Yuanwu lost all interest in hunting. He simply picked up the woman and carried her towards his tent.
Mu Junyao followed behind Emperor Yuanwu, and after a few steps, he realized that Mu Junhan hadn't followed: "What are you standing there for? Let's go."
Mu Junhan suddenly realized and quickened his pace.
-
When Emperor Yuanwu arrived at the camp with the woman, Consort Shu and Consort Zhen were drinking tea outside the camp.
"My goodness, what's going on? Who is His Majesty holding?" Consort Zhen stood up in surprise.
Consort Shu also stood up, holding Mu Qianqian, and shook her head: "I don't know!"
Physician Li hurriedly entered the tent with his medicine box.
"Sister, shall we go and take a look too?" Consort Zhen asked reluctantly.
When Consort Shu carried Mu Qianqian inside, Imperial Physician Li had already treated the woman's wounds.
Mu Qianqian leaned forward, staring thoughtfully at the woman on the bed.
In the original book.
When Emperor Yuanwu went hunting.
Consort Shu did not come.
But he did meet a woman.
But this woman...
Mu Qianqian suddenly realized something.
A woman's soft cough came from the bed, interrupting all her thoughts.
"Cough cough..."
The woman's eyes were filled with panic as she pulled the blanket over her body.
She seemed to be afraid of something, and curled up in the corner of the bed.
Mu Junhan was just about to take a step forward.
"You may all leave," Emperor Yuanwu said with a sense of relief.
Mu Junhan subtly withdrew his steps.
He stared at the woman for two seconds, then his arm was tugged.
Consort Shu deliberately lowered her voice: "What do you want to do? Come out with me now."
It wasn't until everyone had left that this continued.
Consort Shu pulled Mu Junhan into her tent: "What exactly happened just now? Did you know that woman before?"
Mu Junhan moved his lips, but hesitated to speak.
"I don't care what ties you had with that woman before. Now that your father has brought her back from the hunting grounds, just pretend you don't know her when you see her again," Consort Shu said solemnly.
“But…” Mu Junhan paused, “Your subject understands, Your subject will take his leave now.”
Consort Shu stared at his departing figure, her face full of worry.
It was evening.
The sky above the Bashang Grassland is twinkling with stars.
Mu Junhan, carrying a pot of wine, sat on the grass, gazing at Emperor Yuanwu's tent in the distance.
Through the light filtering into the tent, one could see Emperor Yuanwu walking around inside before finally sitting down on the edge of the bed.
The warmth at the corner of his eye made him involuntarily raise his head.
He was trying to cover something up in this way, and a self-deprecating smile gradually appeared on his lips.
The image of his first meeting with the woman in Emperor Yuanwu's room flashed through his mind.
The woman who was accidentally wounded by Emperor Yuanwu's arrow was Miao Keren, an embroiderer from a tea shop in Jiangnan.
When he first arrived at the imperial mausoleum to keep vigil for the Empress Dowager, he couldn't sleep at night.
Miao Keren was selected to embroider sacrificial items at the imperial mausoleum.
That night, Mu Junhan heard about Consort Shu's situation in the palace and was unable to sleep soundly.
He blamed himself for not being able to protect his mother, and got drunk in a pavilion outside the imperial mausoleum, where he happened to meet Miao Ke'er, who was still awake late at night.
