Every day, Tuantuan would help Murun read some memorials aloud, as well as those that Fu Yunchen had reviewed before, which Murun would also show to him.
Fu Yunchen did not stop her from this obvious attempt to cultivate a crown prince. Even the professors at the Imperial Academy would give Tuantuan some individual lessons on how to be a ruler.
Tuantuan vaguely understood that she, her sister, and her brother were going down different paths.
The young boy, with his still childlike face, gradually lost his mischievousness and gained more seriousness and composure.
...
Mu Run sat at the tea table, appreciating the newly made autumn tea.
The tea soup is taken into the mouth, and after tasting the flavor, it is spat out without being swallowed.
"The flavor is rich and full-bodied, with a quick and pleasant aftertaste." He nodded in satisfaction.
Lady Cai also took a sip and said, “In my opinion, it’s because His Majesty made it by hand. The tea leaves made by the masters on the mountain are the same, but the taste is far inferior to His Majesty’s.”
“Everyone has their own method, and as long as the production process is correct, the taste is good.” Mu Run smiled and said, “This batch of tea can be packaged up nicely. Send half of it to Yunlong Mountain, where he loves tea. We can keep the rest for ourselves. Oh, and take some back for your mother-in-law too, so she can have a taste.”
"Thank you for the gift, Your Majesty. She's been craving this."
"Then bring more." Mu Run picked up a piece of jujube paste pastry and ate it. "By the way, has the family annihilation case from a few days ago been solved?"
Because Fu Yunchen had instructed that she was strictly forbidden from mentioning anything that might affect her pregnancy and rest, the palace servants had long since kept quiet about the matter, and everyone only spoke of good news, not bad.
Moreover, in addition to the existing elite guards, a new group of highly skilled hidden guards has been added to the imperial palace's perimeter. Even for Fu Yunchen, infiltrating the palace undetected would be no easy task. Bai Shalu and Qiao Dongzi, on the other hand, wouldn't even be able to get close.
These secret guards were originally the leaders of Xin Hong scattered in various places. Unless it was something particularly urgent, it was difficult for them to gather in one place.
Such stringent prevention and control measures are unprecedented since the establishment of the Chongming Kingdom.
Lady Cai also vaguely sensed that there were more guards hidden in the palace, and their every move was being watched.
"I'm not quite sure either, but it seems the case has been solved?" Madam Cai replied vaguely.
Mu Run nodded, not doubting Cai's words, "It's good that it's broken, it puts the people in the city at ease. Ask about what happened later and tell me."
“Alright, I’ll ask Lord Qiao. There’s nothing in the court that he doesn’t know.” Madam Cai served Mu Run a bowl of lotus seed and white fungus soup. “By the way, Your Majesty, I saw Zhong Jiu yesterday.”
Mu Run immediately perked up, "Oh? He's back from Changyi City."
"They should have finished their errands."
"Where is he now? Tell him to come over here."
"I'll go and ask if he's still in the palace."
...
The brothel, Liu's Residence, was located in a narrow alley.
Zhong Jiu emerged from inside, dressed in black, his noble and handsome features radiating joy.
Bai Shalu and Qiao Dongzi stood outside the gate of the Liu residence, looking Zhong Jiu up and down as he came out.
"Old Bai, look at this... this guy is even getting pleasure from killing people."
"What a pervert!"
"That's right, stay away from him in the future."
"That's right, that's right."
Zhong Jiu's forehead vein throbbed slightly. He flicked the blood off his sword and said, "That's enough, you two. When it comes to killing, you two battlefield veterans have only killed more people than me."
"We're innocent! We're all law-abiding citizens!"
"That's right. If I weren't a law-abiding citizen, could I have become the Minister of Justice?"
