"That's enough. Just do good deeds and don't worry about the future. Life is unpredictable, as long as you have a clear conscience."
Putting aside the inexplicable thought, Mu Qing nodded and said, "I understand. You can make the arrangements. I'll check his physical condition first."
Murong Yu had calmed down by now and said, "Tomorrow I'll have An Yi invite Big Brother over here. You can come over again tomorrow morning. That way, no one outside will know what happened, and no one will suspect anything." The more he spoke, the more reasonable it seemed. After speaking, he looked at Mu Qing expectantly.
Mu Qing: "Okay, then I'll come for a formal visit tomorrow."
Murong Yu: "Okay."
Having finished discussing business, Murong Yu felt relieved, as his worries of the past few days were finally put to rest. He asked, "How have you been these past few days?"
Mu Qing nodded and said, "It's good, and very fulfilling."
Murong Yu: "Did you build Fangcao Pavilion single-handedly? That's impressive."
Mu Qing: "It wasn't just me. My grandfather and Brother Bai also contributed a lot. And those people who were responsible for planting, selling and managing the crops, without them, Fangcao Pavilion wouldn't be where it is today."
Murong Yu: "The Fangcao Pavilions in various places have provided income sources for many ordinary people, shelter for the poor, and a way out for retired and disabled soldiers. Mu Qing, what you are doing is a great thing that benefits the country and the people!" The more he spoke, the more excited he became. He could not suppress his admiration and love. Murong Yu lowered his eyes to restrain himself, not daring to let the young man see the burning passion in his eyes.
Mu Qing: "When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven. It is a matter of timing and fate; it is merely a matter of coinciding with the right opportunity."
Murong Yu looked at the young man in front of him, whose composure and maturity were beyond his years, and felt a sense of pride.
Before Murong Yu could continue the conversation, Mu Qing said, "Alright, it's getting late, I'll head back now. I'll come back tomorrow."
Mu Qing got up to leave, but as she reached the door, she turned back with a sly smile and said, "Why don't you order the meal to be served first? Aren't you hungry?"
As if in response to Mu Qing's words, a "gurgling..." sound rang out.
Murong Yu awkwardly covered his stomach with his hand, then quickly removed it after realizing he had done something stupid.
Seeing his awkward and bewildered expression, Mu Qing laughed heartily and left.
Murong Yu watched the boy leave laughing, shook his head helplessly, and looked at him with a doting expression.
Murong Yu: "Dark One."
An Yi slipped inside: "Your Highness."
Murong Yu: "Go and inform the Crown Prince to come to the residence tomorrow morning."
An Yi: "Yes."
Crown Prince's Palace
After watching the Crown Prince take the medicine, Zhao Cheng suppressed the surging guilt in his heart and instructed, "Your Highness, please rest early and take care of your health." After saying that, he withdrew.
An Yi then revealed himself. He bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Crown Prince: "Get up. An Yi, did your master have something to tell you when you came here at this time?"
An Yi: "Your Highness, the Prince requests your presence at the residence tomorrow morning."
Crown Prince: "Okay, I understand. I'll go tomorrow morning."
An Yi: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Crown Prince: "You may step down."
An Yi: "Yes."
An turned and disappeared into the darkness. Murong Zhi read for a while, then turned off the light and went to bed.
The next morning, Murong Zhi went to Murong Yu's residence. The two had breakfast together and chatted for a while until it was already dawn.
Seeing that Mu Qing had not yet arrived, Murong Yu invited Murong Zhi to go to the study together.
