But unfortunately, the people in the mansion are different from the shopkeeper and the waiter.
They were sold when they were young and served as slaves for their entire lives.
Suddenly they are asked to turn over and become their own masters, but they have no idea what they should do or how to do it.
Looking at these people who had been bullied for a long time and had given up resistance, Su Xiaoxiao sighed.
Mu Yansong turned to look at her and softly comforted her, "Don't be sad, you've done what you can. Their servility is deeply ingrained. Since you can't change it, let them be. As for the others in Undead City, the Emperor can't control them, and we can't control them even more."
"Yes, I understand! I don't have any delusions that we can change the rules here with just a few of us."
As she spoke, Su Xiaoxiao raised her head and looked at everyone with a smile.
"The bandits have been wiped out. Our mission is complete. Let's go back early!"
"Um."
Mu Yansong nodded.
The hands hidden under the sleeves gradually clenched.
The emperor failed to take his life as he wished, but he probably wouldn't give up.
When they return, they wonder what method the emperor will use to deal with him next time.
If he were alone, he wouldn't be afraid.
But Su Xiaoxiao and the others...
Mu Yansong gritted his teeth and frowned more and more.
After returning, he could no longer sit and wait for death.
He must find a way and take the initiative.
Only by turning passivity into initiative and completely defeating the enemy can he protect the people he wants to protect!
…
The group returned to Canglong Academy, thinking they could have a good rest.
But they didn't expect that as soon as they stepped into the college gate, they saw Teacher Luo waiting for them at the door.
Seeing them come back, Teacher Luo sighed lightly and walked forward quickly.
"Mu Yansong, the dean wants to see you!"
"good!"
Mu Yansong nodded and followed Teacher Luo forward.
After taking just two steps, Su Xiaoxiao quickly caught up.
"Brother Asong, I'll go with you!"
"Um."
Mu Yansong agreed without thinking.
After this incident, he decided not to hide anything from her no matter what happened.
She went with him to see the dean, which was great!
Lu Ye and Zhao Zixu also wanted to follow, but when they remembered that the person the dean wanted to see was Mu Yansong.
If so many of them went there together, the dean would probably think that they were worried that he would do something bad to Mu Yansong.
They thought about it and held back.
"Dean, they're coming!"
Mu Yansong and Su Xiaoxiao followed Teacher Luo to the dean.
Teacher Luo said something to the dean, then closed the door and left.
The dean put down his teacup, looked up at the two people standing in front of him, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"There's no one else here, so don't be shy, just sit down!"
"Thank you, Dean."
Su Xiaoxiao thanked the dean and pulled Mu Yansong to sit aside.
As soon as Mu Yansong sat down, he couldn't help but ask, "I wonder if the dean asked me to come here because he has some instructions from the court?"
"Indeed, you are very clever!" The dean nodded, suppressing his smile. "The court has learned of your successful suppression of the bandits. The lord who came last time has sent another message. This time, the emperor has issued an order, wanting you to enter the barracks early and fight on the battlefield."
"Go to the battlefield?" Su Xiaoxiao frowned: "The emperor is determined to kill Brother Song!"
The dean said nothing and looked at the two of them.
He was silent for a moment, and his gaze finally fell on Mu Yansong.
"Mu Yansong, who are you?"
As the dean's voice fell, Mu Yansong slowly stood up and saluted him with his fists clasped.
"Dean, there's no need to ask any more questions. I will leave the academy and will not implicate the academy."
After saying that, Mu Yansong turned and left.
Su Xiaoxiao quickly stood up and followed quickly.
However, just as the two men reached the door, the dean's laughter suddenly came from behind them.
"Hahahaha, do you really think that if you leave the academy now, the academy won't be implicated by you? Your Highness the Seventh Prince, I think we should cooperate!"
Suddenly, Mu Yansong stopped.
He turned to look at the dean behind him, his brows slightly furrowed.
"How do you know..."
"There is no one else who can make the current emperor so fearful that he would do anything to get rid of him. Apart from the Seventh Prince, who was predicted by the Imperial Master to have a fate that would bring disaster to the country, there is no one else!"
The dean slowly stood up with a faint smile on his lips.
"Last time, when the imperial court sent someone to convey an order specifically for you to lead a team to suppress bandits, I felt something was wrong. As soon as the news of your successful suppression of the bandits came back, the imperial court quickly sent someone over again, asking you to join the military camp and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
The Emperor's eagerness to kill you has made me think twice. I sent someone to investigate your past and discovered that you've been hunted for years.
"Before the late emperor passed away, he secretly sent me a letter. The letter said that the current emperor had long harbored rebellious intentions!"
"Why are you telling me this? It has nothing to do with me!"
Mu Yansong turned his head away and gritted his teeth secretly.
His biological father, whom he had never met, ordered him to be killed just because of a word from someone else.
It's only right that his kingdom falls into the hands of others.
As for what happened between that person and the current emperor, he had no interest in knowing.
The dean saw all his expressions.
He suppressed his smile and shook his head slightly.
"Who said this matter has nothing to do with you? Why do you think you are being hunted down? Isn't it because your existence threatens the emperor's throne?
He wanted to usurp the throne and leave a good reputation, so he bribed the eunuchs around the late emperor and gave him a chronic poison. The late emperor only had princesses, no princes.
When the late emperor died, the ministers would certainly choose one of his brothers to succeed him. The current emperor, possessing both civil and military prowess, was the best candidate.
He originally thought that this matter was foolproof, but he didn't expect that your mother would give birth to you at this time! "
The dean suddenly stopped when he reached the crucial moment.
He turned and walked to the wooden table, picked up the teacup on the wooden table, and took a sip.
Su Xiaoxiao was listening attentively, but the dean didn't continue.
She frowned, feeling extremely anxious.
"What happened next? Tell me!"
"Don't be impatient!"
The dean put down his teacup and turned to look at them.
"Mu Yansong's birth disrupted all the emperor's plans. The previous emperor had a prince, so even if he passed away, the throne would belong to the prince.
The emperor had done so much, but he was undoubtedly making things easier for others, so he naturally didn't want to accept it. So, he came up with an idea.
He bribed the Imperial Master's young disciple, and had him use the Imperial Master's name to claim that you were a disaster for the nation. Then, when the late Emperor was critically ill, he used his name to issue an order to execute you!
