Adding to what happened yesterday, the lieutenant was even less inclined to provoke the general. At most, he could only silently pray for his wife, hoping for her good fortune.
Mu Qiluan changed his clothes, lowered his head and kissed the girl on the forehead. After watching the girl fall asleep again after he fed her, he left satisfied.
…
The Crown Prince had been waiting all morning and must have been furious. Just when he thought the other party wouldn't come, his subordinates brought news that General Mu had arrived at the Eastern Palace.
The Crown Prince's status has always been stable. He is the emperor's legitimate son, the empress's maternal family is also very powerful, and he is the emperor's most favored son.
Standing doesn't mean others can't. There's another prince with outstanding abilities, the son of the Imperial Noble Consort, who is also quite competitive.
Everyone knows that if someone can win over Mu Qiluan, their position will be practically secure. The question is, what exactly is the current Grand General, who holds military power, thinking?
The Crown Prince belatedly realized the other party's power and suddenly understood that he shouldn't have offended Mu Qiluan that day. That's why he invited him today, hoping to resolve the previous conflict, but he didn't expect the other party to make him wait all morning.
Despite being furious, the crown prince still managed a smile when he saw the other party.
Mu Qiluan did not bow to the other party, after all, he would not even bow to the emperor. "What business does Your Highness have with this humble subject?"
Mu Qiluan didn't even glance at the other person. Perhaps it was because seeing him would remind him of things that made him angry. Sure enough, this crown prince was too annoying. He should get rid of him as soon as possible.
Seeing the other person's expression, the Crown Prince was unsure whether he should bring up the previous matter. The other person seemed particularly unhappy, and he knew that bringing it up now would definitely cause an uproar.
At this point, the other party had someone deliver the gift they had prepared to Mu Qiluan.
A beautiful and delicate woman, dressed in very thin clothing, with a graceful figure and a slender waist. An ordinary man would probably fall in love at first sight.
Mu Qiluan glanced at it, then frowned, his eyes filled with disgust. He turned to look at the Crown Prince and asked, "What does Your Highness mean by this?"
The crown prince felt that since the other party had been away on campaigns for a long time, he was now a young and mature man, and it was normal for him to like beautiful women. So he presented the woman he had carefully cultivated for many years to him.
However, the crown prince could also clearly sense the other party's unhappiness, and he couldn't understand why.
Mu Qiluan's face darkened: "Your Highness should keep this gift for yourself."
After saying that, he turned and left.
The lieutenant sighed softly and shook his head. It seemed His Highness the Crown Prince was in for some trouble.
Now that peace has been restored, His Highness the Crown Prince should not be conscripted into the army; at most, he will spend some time in prison.
Mu Qiluan went straight back to the Minister's residence after leaving the house, but he had his deputy spread the word that the Crown Prince was trying to win him over.
It doesn't matter whether others know or not, this news must reach the emperor's ears.
…
The lieutenant followed Mu Qiluan to the door of Wan Ge's room. Mu Qiluan stopped and turned to look at the lieutenant: "What? You want to come in with us?"
The lieutenant immediately realized what was happening and lowered his head, saying, "This subordinate wouldn't dare."
I subconsciously stayed by the general's side, and this wasn't the general's residence.
Mu Qiluan didn't say anything more, gently pushed the door open and went in, seemingly afraid of waking the person sleeping in the bed.
