Chapter 460 Does he know what the princess is thinking?
Mu Wanning pondered the word "immortality" over and over in her mind.
He cares so much about his appearance and goes to great lengths to obtain the secret of immortality. Is it partly because of me?
Thinking that it might be because of herself, she felt a sense of sweetness in her heart and became less repulsive.
But the happiness didn't last long, and my heart was replaced by worries again.
Just when she was feeling happy and worried at the same time, there was a knock on the carriage and Mu Yuchong slowly opened his eyes.
"Master, there is news."
Chang Fu's voice came from outside.
Mu Yuchong sat up, lifted the curtain of the car, and Chang Fu handed him the secret letter.
"Dad, what does the secret letter say?"
Without waiting for Mu Yuchong to answer, Mu Wanning leaned over and read the contents of the letter.
Because of her favor, when she was in Dayao, she could read memorials at will, and sometimes she and Mu Yuchong would comment on court affairs. It can be said that she had privileges that no one else had.
Mu Yuchong didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and the two of them leaned together to read the secret letter sent by Chang Fu.
But outside the carriage, Chang Fu saw Mu Wan Ning leaning forward with half of her body pressed against Mu Yuchong's arms, and his heart skipped a beat.
The princess is almost eighteen now and is already a grown-up girl. Isn't this... too close to His Majesty?
Thinking about the recent interactions between father and daughter, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Before, he had only thought that Princess Anping was favored, and he hadn't given it much thought. But now that he thought about it, the way Princess Anping acted coquettishly and petulantly towards His Majesty didn't seem like a daughter towards her father, but more like...
Chang Fu stopped in time.
You can’t think about it, you can’t think about it. Does he think his life is too long?
In the carriage, Mu Wanning looked at the contents of the letter in surprise, "The Empress has arrived? How come so soon?"
Mu Yuchong said, "I heard that the Empress has a fairy bird as a mount, so it's not surprising that it's so fast."
Mu Wanning said with a conflicted mood, "Father, she's already arrived today and is investigating the spontaneous combustion incident. Is it too late for us to rush over now?"
"That was something from the Imperial Master. She won't be able to find out so quickly." Mu Yuchong said, lowering his eyes to look at his daughter. "But I'm afraid we'll have to travel overnight for the next two days. Can you handle it?"
Thinking of the injuries on her hips, his expression turned cold again.
He had really spoiled her too much in the past, which led to her being so lawless and not taking her own body seriously.
If she hadn't fainted and been discovered by him, would she have given up on her legs?
"You deserve it if you can't stand it. I made you stay in Lingnan but didn't obey me. Now you're fine?"
Seeing her father scolding her with a cold face, Mu Wanning felt a sweet feeling in her heart. She pouted and said, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't been so cold and angry at me, I wouldn't have dared to tell you about my leg pain and just endured it like that? And now you're scolding me."
Mu Yuchong looked at her, almost crying, and sighed with a headache. There was really nothing he could say to her, and he couldn't even scold her.
But what could he do? He had spoiled this thing himself! How could he just ignore her?
Mu Yuchong relaxed his expression, reached out and touched her forehead. After confirming that she didn't have a fever, he asked, "How's your leg? Does it still hurt?"
Mu Wanning acted coquettishly and aggrievedly, "It hurts so much, you were so mean to me just now, sob…"
Chang Fu rode his horse beside the carriage, and listened to the tiny noises coming from inside, feeling terrified.
Your Majesty, do you know what the princess is thinking?
Did he not know, or did he know but let her do as she pleased? Or perhaps he had his own thoughts in mind.
He thought about it, then quickly dismissed the thought. His Majesty surely wouldn't be so foolish.
He couldn't have forgotten how he had overthrown the prince.
Wasn't it that the wise and virtuous prince secretly had such secret feelings for his own sister, and the brother and sister were doing illicit things in the palace and were caught by his late emperor?
It was precisely because this matter was too absurd that the late emperor did not hesitate at all and directly ordered the prince to be deposed.
Such a scandal also made it impossible for the prince to rise again.

Even with the ice, the morgue still smelled of decaying corpses.
Su hadn't eaten for several meals. When she smelled the smell and thought about the tragic scene of the child burning, she suddenly began to sweat coldly.
Jiang Tangtang supported her and said, "Mom, you don't have to accompany me, we can just look at it ourselves."
Su Shi insisted, shaking her head and saying, "I'm fine. Let me tell you about the situation."
The several coroners nearby looked at Jiang Tangtang and the others with a secret admiration in their hearts. Which of these people here is not of noble status?
But several people came to the morgue in person to check the situation.
It is a blessing for the people to have such an emperor and future ruler.
It is also their blessing.
They also need to be more attentive, otherwise how can they be worthy of His Majesty.
Several coroners became more careful, trying to see if there could be any breakthrough, or if there was anything they had missed.
In fact, they were all very serious before Jiang Tangtang came, so they checked it carefully again.
But there has been no new progress.
They all felt sorry for Jiang Tangtang. At this moment, a sweet voice rang out from the morgue, "Can I see the chests of these people?"
Everyone knew that this little girl was a princess of the Republic of China.
To be honest, the fact that the two princes followed them to the morgue was surprising enough, but they were also surprised that the princess would follow.
But considering that her mother was the only empress in the world, they all felt that it was reasonable.
Jiang Tangtang is so outstanding, her daughter should be as outstanding as her.
Influenced by Jiang Tangtang, many people's views on their daughters have also changed.
In the past, many people agreed with that theory and believed that a woman’s virtue lies in her lack of talent.
It doesn't matter whether a daughter goes to school or not, as long as she grows up and marries into her husband's family and takes care of the family. Even more people believe that women are inherently inferior to men.
But Jiang Tangtang proved with her actions that women are no worse than men. What men can do, women can do too.
In addition to the schools run by the government in various places where both men and women could attend, women could also take the imperial examinations and become officials.
The fact that many government positions actually recruited women changed the mindset of many families, who began to send their daughters to school.
After starting school, many families found that their daughters were no worse than their boys, and some even studied better than their boys.
Several of the coroners have daughters, and they have all sent their daughters to school.
Seeing Lu Tiantian, several people unconsciously thought of their own daughters. Some admired Lu Tiantian's courage, some were proud that their daughters were not bad, and some sighed silently.
But this is all in everyone's mind.
Several coroners around were busy opening the chest cavity of the corpse to make it easier for Lu Tiantian to examine it.
After Lu Tiantian looked at the chest cavity of the corpse, she frowned and thought for a moment like a little adult, "The lungs of these corpses are all black. There must be something we haven't found."
