I shook my head, and he took my hand and left: "Let's go back to the palace and let the imperial physician take a look."
Duan Xiao raised his voice: "Mr. Song, why don't you think of a good explanation for the public this time?"
He approached us and whispered, "Your Majesty is personally leaving the palace to find a concubine. This is going to make a big fuss."
Song Heng looked up at him and tightened his grip on my hand: "Afu, take Concubine Mu back to the palace first and then ride my horse directly."
"Yes." I recognized that the servant standing behind Song Heng was actually Eunuch Ah Fu. He led me to the white horse and whispered to me, who kept turning his head to look at me, "Mu Jieyu, please return to the palace first. His Majesty will take care of it."
Song Heng nodded at me, and Duan Xiao beside him raised his head slightly and curled his lips at me.
Eunuch Afu brought me into the palace through a small door. When we returned to Chenshuang Pavilion, Xiao Cui and Xiao Tao were both startled and then rushed towards me crying with joy.
Xiao Cui let go and wiped her tears: "Then, then I will go and inform the master as soon as possible!"
I suddenly realized that my disappearance had caused such a big fuss. Listening to Xiaotao crying, I learned that Song Heng had lost his temper and was stopped by my father. But as soon as my father left the palace, he asked the whole Mu Mansion to go to Dapu Mountain to look for me, and he also spent a lot of money to ask the villagers there to help find me.
When I was getting restless, Eunuch Afu came with the imperial physician. I had no choice but to sit at the table and wait for the old physician to take my pulse, etc. I repeated what I had said many times and nothing happened because I was tied up. At this time, the queen brought people over again.
She was well-informed. She just sat aside and watched the imperial physician diagnose me. When she heard the imperial physician say that I was fine, she suddenly raised her voice and said, "The bandits didn't want money or life. Concubine Mu has returned safely..."
I looked at her coldly, and she smiled at me: "My sister is so beautiful, it's hard for the bandits to let go. It's a pity that there is no toad blood in the current dynasty..."
"You!" I gritted my teeth. Such an insult to her was unbearable. Eunuch Ah Fu stood aside and said, "Your Majesty, His Majesty has instructed me to let Concubine Mu have a good rest. I hope Your Majesty will understand."
"Oh," the Queen said without getting angry: "Of course I understand."
After the Queen left, I learned from Eunuch Afu that I was robbed by mountain bandits, and it was the Emperor who sent Eunuch Afu out of the palace to rescue me.
I nodded. When it comes to political and diplomatic affairs, many things can only be glossed over. But why do they claim that it was the emperor's confidant, Eunuch Afu, who came to rescue him personally? In fact, it would be fine to say it was an unknown soldier... I touched the white porcelain cup in my hand. How could such a wise man make such a mistake?
I went to the Imperial Garden to meet Mu Chenfeng. He asked me about the situation with an anxious look on his face. I then told him what I had said to the bandits before. He frowned and slapped his thighs: "These bandits! Really!" I asked him to tell my parents that I was really fine and was just kidnapped for an hour or two.
There was indeed some discussion in the palace. Some people thought that it was really rash for the emperor to send his trusted eunuch Afu to find a concubine. But on the other hand, no one dared to say anything to me in person because I was robbed by bandits. After all, I was the person specially retrieved by the emperor's trusted eunuch.
It's really laughable.
