In the imperial study.
The silent night was filled with a majestic atmosphere.
There are dragon carvings in the style of dragon paintings everywhere, and precious sandalwood furniture is placed everywhere, showing the royal majesty.
At this time, the night shrouded the palace like a curtain, and the sky was dotted with stars. Only the shining wooden table in the imperial study was flickering with a tiny light, and the flames on it were dancing.
Mu Tianhao was leaning over the desk, his eyes focused, staring at the memorials in front of him, reviewing them carefully, with a hint of fatigue in his eyes.
Mu Tianhao is the most diligent monarch in the history of the Dagan Dynasty.
He spent more than ten hours every day governing the court and reviewing memorials, almost half of the day.
But the daily rest time is pitifully short.
Even the imperial physician warned him many times that if he continued like this, his health would probably collapse.
But Mu Tianhao was only thinking about the Great Gan Dynasty and did not take the words of the imperial physician seriously at all.
Instead, he sped up the process of reviewing memorials and became even more exhausted.
Mu Tianhao slowly took off the coat he was wearing and covered the wooden chair behind him with it. Then he opened his body, stretched, moved his arms, and relaxed his exhausted body a little.
The long and intensive review of memorials had long made his body unable to bear it.
On this night, this middle-aged man who is only in his forties looks like an old man in his fifties or sixties, with his eyebrows and eyes full of vicissitudes of life.
The eunuch who was serving beside him couldn't help but whispered, seeing Mu Tianhao so tired:
"Your Majesty, it's late. Why don't you go to bed early?"
Mu Tianhao looked over when he heard the voice, his eyes flashing.
"Step back. I'll call you if I need anything."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuch did not dare to say more and quickly bowed and left the imperial study.
Outside the door, through the gap between the windows, under the moonlight, a figure slowly approached.
Mu Tianhao couldn't help but look over.
Soon, a beautiful figure walked into the room.
The man whispered respectfully:
"Your Majesty."
A strange light flashed in Mu Tianhao's eyes, and the tired expression on his face finally showed a hint of smile, and rose slightly.
"It turns out to be Xi'ai Fei. Sit down."
Mu Tianhao sat on a wooden chair and rubbed his sore eyebrows.
This beloved concubine was wearing a beautiful long dress, had a tall figure and outstanding appearance.
Her fair face was like a peeled egg, the blush on her face was slightly drunken, and her beautiful eyes were moving, making her look like a person walking out of a painting.
She is one of Mu Tianhao's most beloved concubines and also Mu Yanyun's biological mother.
Xi'ai Fei walked to Mu Tianhao's side, gently kneaded his shoulders, and said softly:
"Your Majesty, you have been working too hard recently. You should rest early."
Mu Tianhao leaned back in his chair, enjoying himself quietly without saying a word.
After a long while, he lowered his voice and said:
"Oh, no."
"The Xiongnu are invading the border, and the ministers in the court are secretly fighting each other. At this critical moment, even the slightest slackness could lead to serious problems."
Mu Tianhao was telling the truth.
Although the current Dagan Dynasty appears to be powerful on the surface, there are actually undercurrents.
There was the Huns invading outside, and the ministers in the court were scheming against each other.
However, the only good news at the moment is that Ye Dashan is willing to donate all of his hundreds of millions of dollars in wealth.
Mu Tianhao had actually heard about this matter a long time ago.
After all, Ye Dashan has been blatantly putting money into his own pocket over the years. It is such a big fuss that it would be difficult for Mu Tianhao not to know.
Not to mention the memorials that fell on his desk like snowflakes.
But he never had the idea of taking action against Ye Dashan. After all, the other party had always worked hard for the Dagan Dynasty and had no second thoughts about Mu Tianhao.
Such people have no bad qualities except greed.
Mu Tianhao rubbed his forehead and said.
But what troubled him most was that Ye Dashan was actually going to resign.
Mu Tianhao couldn't help but look worried.
Xi'an Fei, who was always good at observing people's words and expressions, noticed something was wrong and asked in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, has something happened?"
"No, I've just been busy lately and a little tired." Mu Tianhao didn't tell the truth.
Xi'ai Fei and Mu Tianhao have lived together for many years, so how could she not notice such an abnormality? She immediately asked:
"Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, you can tell me. There is no need to bear such great pressure alone."
I have to say.
Xi'aifei's comforting words were indeed very insightful.
It immediately touched Mu Tianhao's heart.
Mu Tianhao sighed deeply and whispered:
"Alas, now Ye Dashan wants to resign."
Xi'aifei's voice suddenly rose and she looked at Mu Tianhao in disbelief.
"But didn't he just betroth Yanyun to his son a few days ago? Why is he resigning now? Why is that?"
Concubine Xi'ai lived in the harem all year round and was unaware of what was happening in the court.
He didn't even know that Mu Yanyun was going to the border to serve the country and fight against the Huns.
The only thing we know is that Mu Yanyun is going to marry Ye Dashan’s only son Ye Feiyun.
This news surprised Concubine Xi'ai.
Mu Tianhao rubbed his face and said in a low voice:
"Let's talk about this later. You won't understand if I tell you now."
When Concubine Xi'ai heard this, she stopped asking questions and shut her mouth in disappointment.
Then she used a pair of snow-white and tender little hands, with just the right strength, to gently massage Mu Tianhao's numb shoulders and neck.
After a long while, Mu Tianhao suddenly said:
"Did you know that Yanyun is about to go to the border?"
"What?" Xi'aifei raised her beautiful eyes, her eyebrows curved, and a worried look appeared on her face.
The strength in his hands suddenly loosened, but soon he continued to press gently as usual.
But the surprise on his face never disappeared.
"Yanyun is going to the border, but she didn't tell me about it. What is she going there for? That place is poor and miserable."
Halfway through his words, he seemed to realize that something was wrong.
Although Mu Yanyun is a woman, she comes from a royal family and it is her duty to serve the country.
What she said just now was just out of a mother's concern.
Realizing that she had spoken out of turn, Concubine Xi'ai immediately shut her mouth.
Mu Tianhao showed a bitter smile on his face. Wasn't he thinking the same thing?
But now Ye Feiyun has volunteered to go to the border to guard the Huns.
Mu Yanyun, Mu Fenfang, and Wang Dafang all volunteered to go, so what could he say?
If it was just Mu Yanyun alone, he would have some reasons to reject her.
But Mu Fenfang also went as a member of the royal family, so why can’t Mu Yanyun go?
If this gets out, it will definitely not sound good.
Mu Tianhao was worried about this.
I was excited at the time and agreed to it completely, but now I feel it is inappropriate.
