After saying this, he kowtowed heavily and said, "I am sorry to my brothers. I will leave it to my brothers to decide. I don't know what happened to me. I..." Murong Qing opened his mouth, but tears finally welled up in his eyes. He could only repeat "I am sorry" repeatedly. "I will leave it to my brothers to decide. I will have no complaints."
Murong Yu: "I had already investigated the assassin matter, and we also roughly guessed that my brother had drugged me."
Upon hearing this, Murong Qing looked up, his face filled with disbelief as he stared at Murong Yu.
Murong Zhi sighed and said, "Get up." He then stepped forward to help him up.
Murong Yu: "Are you asking why I didn't cause you any trouble after I found out?"
Murong Qing nodded blankly.
Murong Yu sighed and said, "Your elder brother has been waiting for you to confess to him. He said that you were just confused and went down the wrong path. As your elder brother, we should give you a chance to make amends."
Upon hearing this, Murong Qing finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears.
The three brothers talked for another half an hour in the tent. This was the first time in many years that they had sat down together to have a heart-to-heart talk and clear things up.
Murong Qing felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. As for what he owed Mu Ya, he would give her an explanation. Thinking of this, a pang of pain shot through his heart.
Aside from the bear attack, the spring hunt went relatively smoothly overall. After lunch, everyone packed up and headed back. They arrived in the capital before nightfall.
Mu Mansion
Upon hearing that Mu Ya had been seriously injured while saving Murong Qing during the hunt the previous day, the Imperial Noble Consort asked the Emperor for leave and went to the Prime Minister's residence with Murong Qing the next day.
Sima Qingqing: "This humble woman greets Your Majesty. Greetings, Your Majesty. Greetings, Fourth Prince."
The Imperial Noble Consort said, "Madam Mu, please rise quickly." She then bent down and helped her up.
Imperial Noble Consort: "How is Ya'er? We were so grateful to that child yesterday."
Sima Qingqing: "The imperial physician said it's nothing serious, just need to rest and recover. He woke up this morning."
Imperial Noble Consort: "That's good, that's good."
Imperial Noble Consort: "May we go see the child?"
Sima Qingqing: "Of course."
Sima Qingqing got up and led the Imperial Noble Consort and Murong Qing to Mu Ya's room.
Muya's back and face were wrapped in bandages. Thanks to the nourishment of wood energy, the wounds did not become infected and did not hurt much. She was lying in bed bored.
Hearing footsteps, she assumed it was her personal maid and exclaimed, "Little maid, your young lady is so bored..."
Sima Qingqing paused, and explained somewhat embarrassedly, "I've spoiled this girl."
Imperial Noble Consort: "It's good that he's lively; he's a good child."
Hearing Sima Qingqing talking to someone, Mu Ya asked, "Mother, who are you talking to? Mother, come and talk to me, I'm so bored."
Sima Qingqing: "..."
Murong Qing: "Ya'er is innocent and romantic, which is good."
The Imperial Noble Consort smiled and echoed, "Yes, yes, Madam Mu is well-mannered and a good child."
Sima Qingqing felt inexplicably blush.
To prevent Mu Ya from making any more noise, Sima Qingqing quickly went inside and said, "Ya'er, the Imperial Concubine and the Fourth Prince have come to see you."
Muya: "Huh?"
Mu Ya felt a little awkward, turned her head timidly, and blushed slightly.
Murong Qing looked at the person on the bed with bandages wrapped around their face, feeling a pang of heartache. He gently called out, "Ya'er..."
Mu Ya looked up at Murong Qing, somewhat dazed, and said, "Yes, I'm here."
Upon hearing this, Murong Qing almost burst into tears.
