General Mu obviously couldn't believe what the emperor said, so he knocked his cane three times in a row, which already had a threatening meaning.
In the entire court, only Old Mu dared to do this. After all, his eldest son was the general of the court, his second son was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and his third daughter entered the palace as a concubine and gave birth to a very favored little princess.
Even the prime minister, whose family had a queen, did not dare to be so arrogant, so after seeing General Mu knocking his crutches, the prime minister's eyes darkened instantly.
He quickly stepped forward to speak up for the emperor and said, "Old Mu is a bit too overbearing. Countless people have sought immortality and learned the truth throughout history. Your Majesty is the True Dragon Emperor, so you must have a better chance of becoming an immortal. If you can truly achieve immortality, wouldn't that be a great blessing for our dynasty?"
After hearing what he said, the old general wanted to hit him on the head with his crutch, and the crutch made a loud clanging sound.
"Prime Minister, what you said is truly a joke. Countless people in this world seek immortality, but how many can truly achieve immortality? Besides, Your Majesty is still in the prime of life, so why rush to seek immortality?"
At this time, the general also stood up and helped his father to retort: "General Mu is right. Your Majesty is in the prime of life and should not seek so-called immortality at this time."
In the past, the emperor might have trusted the prime minister out of anger, but he would not do that now.
Because from Yao Guangyue's inner voice, one can hear that the Mu family is full of loyal and brave people. When the country was destroyed and the family was ruined, all the members of the Mu family stood on the city gate tower with swords in their hands.
In the end, he committed suicide in front of the enemy's battlefield and died for his country. How tragic!
But he couldn't tear his face with the Prime Minister at this time, so he could only say in a smooth-talking manner: "Mr. Mu and the Prime Minister are both thinking about me, and I am very relieved."
Old Mu knew that the emperor was trying to smooth things over, so he frowned and was about to open his mouth to advise him, but was interrupted by the emperor in time.
"I left the Taoist priest here just to learn some simple Taoist knowledge. There's no need for Elder Mu to be so nervous. I'll be visiting the Imperial Concubine later and see the little princess, who has grown up quite a bit in recent days."
After the emperor said this, he hurriedly withdrew from the court. He was afraid that Mr. Mu would hold on to him at this time.
Old Mu had no choice but to take his two sons into the harem, hoping to ask his daughter to persuade him again.
When the imperial concubine learned that the emperor allowed her father and brother to visit her, she was overjoyed and asked someone to prepare the tea and snacks that her family loved.
She had been waiting at the gate of her palace early in the morning, and watched from afar as her two brothers supported their elderly father as they walked in the palace corridor. The imperial concubine hurried forward to pay her respects.
"Father, your daughter greets you, sir!"
Mr. Mu has always been the most well-behaved person. When he saw the imperial concubine about to salute him, he hurriedly supported her.
"Your Highness, this is on the palace road. You can't bow to a minister in front of the servants!"
Upon hearing this, the imperial concubine frowned and complained unhappily, "Father, sometimes I really hate your rigid attitude. The people coming and going here are all my close friends. Who would tell others about this? And even if they did, what would happen?"
When Mu Lao heard this, his eyebrows furrowed, his beard almost curled up, and he shouted sternly: "Etiquette cannot be abolished!"
The imperial concubine knew that she couldn't persuade her father, so she could only let him do what he wanted. She watched her father and brother pay their respects to her before returning to the palace.
After closing the door, Old Mu finally turned back into the loving father he once was, holding the imperial concubine's hand and looking at her endlessly with full of love.
"Giving birth is like going through hell for a woman. Look how much thinner you've become. I heard the little princess wasn't feeling well a few days ago. Is she feeling better now?"
I want to cry when I talk about this imperial concubine. Love and family disgrace should not be exposed to the public. The emperor only said that the little princess was sick and did not mention the poisoning.
"Father, the little princess wasn't sick a while ago, she was poisoned!"
The eldest brother, Mu Lan, was furious when he heard this. He slammed the table, stood up, and went to look for someone, shouting, "Who is so cruel as to dare to hurt the little princess like this? I'm going to ask the emperor for an explanation!"
The second brother, Mu Chan, quickly blocked his eldest brother's path and advised, "Brother, calm down. What can you accomplish by going to the Emperor? The most important thing right now is that my sister and the little princess are safe!"
After pulling his eldest brother back, Mu Chan hurriedly asked, "Third sister, please tell me in detail, what exactly happened?"
The imperial concubine simply told the story of how the queen had arranged for her to bring the maidservant into the palace as a dowry and how she had poisoned her second brother. Unexpectedly, her second brother was very cautious and discovered the key point at once.
"Third sister, what you said is a bit strange. If you had suspected Caique long ago, why would you let her get close to the little princess? And if you didn't know Caique was the culprit, how could you have caught her so quickly?"
The imperial concubine was slightly stunned. It was no wonder that her second brother was born as the top scholar in the imperial examination. But she thought that they were her family members anyway, so it would be okay to tell him.
"To be honest with my father and two brothers, the little princess is not a human!"
When the three heard this, they were stunned. Mr. Mu also frowned and couldn't help but reach out and touch his daughter's forehead.
"You don't even have a fever. How can you say that about your own daughter? What else could she be but a human being?"
The imperial concubine pushed her father's hand away and slowly explained, "I'm afraid my father and brother won't believe me, but it's true. This little princess I gave birth to is the reincarnation of the mythical beast Qilin. Although I don't know why she was born in my belly, I know she came for the Yaoguang Kingdom."
Afterwards, the imperial concubine briefly recounted what had happened recently, and the three people were all confused during the whole process.
But it seems that the emperor and the three princes have been behaving a little strangely recently.
First, the three princes inexplicably went shopping together on Baihua Street. After a fire broke out on Baihua Street, the three of them worked together to rescue the people.
Later, the emperor suddenly began to seek the way of immortality, and had a vague feeling that he wanted to make important use of the disciples of the Mu family.
After listening to this, Mu Chan muttered softly, "Although what Third Sister said is a bit shocking, it is not without reason. His Majesty has been using more of my father's disciples recently. You know, His Majesty is worried about the interference of foreign relatives in politics, so he rarely uses people from the Mu family."
After listening to this, Elder Mu and the eldest brother of the Mu family nodded repeatedly. At this time, the imperial concubine thought of a key point and suggested: "Why not bring the little princess out and let her father and brothers listen to her too, and see if they can also hear her heart's voice?"
After hearing this, the three of them nodded in agreement, and Xiyan brought the little princess in.
At this time, Yao Guangyue was sleeping. She was a chubby little girl with a rosy and cute little face. There was also a scent of milk. When Mu Lao and the others saw Yao Guangyue, they loved her very much. They came forward and secretly grabbed her hands and touched her feet.
Concubine Mu watched from the side without stopping it, she just felt that this moment was particularly warm.
The little girl seemed to be awakened by the touch and opened her eyes drowsily...
[Why did he bring me here for no reason? Could it be that my cheap daddy is here again? Wow!]
This exclamation made the father and his two sons who were sitting there all open their eyes wide. Then the three of them looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
