Chapter 144 - Back
"Okay, I won't ask anymore. These are all trivial matters. My Li'er... Zi Yan's return is the greatest comfort." Qing Mo thought of the name that his daughter had corrected many times but was said wrong again by him, so he hurriedly corrected it.
After two cups of tea, after Mu Ziyan repeatedly assured her that he would be back in the evening, Qing Mo reluctantly let him go. It was not until Mu Ziyan's back disappeared at the end of the street that she turned around and asked softly, "Xiao, Ziyan will definitely come back, right?"
Qing Mo's words drew Xiao Mu's attention back. He then withdrew his gaze, put his arm around Qing Mo's shoulders and nodded firmly. Since his daughter had already promised them, they would definitely do it.
Mu Ziyan entered the palace and walked slowly along the familiar bluestone road, but he did not expect to meet Shen Junyang. The indifference on his face gradually faded away and was replaced by a look of alienation and ridicule.
"Priest Mu, what a coincidence! I heard that you were kicked out by Old Nine last night. I wonder why you came into the palace again?" Shen Junyang said with a big laugh.
Mu Ziyan's lips curled up with an inexplicable smile. He stopped and clasped his fists and said, "Uncle Shen, even if the Ninth Prince is not fully mentally sound now, he is the emperor's ninth brother after all. You call him "Old Nine" like this. Do you think you are the emperor?"
"How dare you!" Shen Junyang roared, his saliva flying everywhere like a hidden weapon. Mu Ziyan hurriedly raised his wide sleeves to block it and thus escaped such a disaster.
"Zi Yan will not bother Uncle Shen any longer. I'll take my leave now!" After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left. His expression and attitude were full of disgust, which made Shen Junyang so angry that his teeth were almost ground.
It was not until Mu Ziyan's figure disappeared at the end of the bluestone road that Shen Junyang retracted his resentful gaze, suddenly pulled the eunuch beside him and asked, "Are you afraid of me?"
"My Lord Uncle, you are second only to the Emperor, and above everyone else. How can I not be afraid?" The young eunuch bowed his head in flattery, but unexpectedly he was kicked far away. He crawled twice on the spot, his head tilted, and he died. The other young eunuch next to him was so scared that he fell to his knees and could not get up.
"Why are you kneeling down? Why are you afraid of me?" Shen Junyang leaned over and asked expressionlessly.
The young eunuch was trembling all over and couldn't utter a word. After a moment, Shen Junyang smelled a strong smell of urine. He kicked the young eunuch away in disgust and left. It seemed that he could no longer be just the uncle of Shen Guo, as even a small country priest dared to laugh at him.
The young eunuch crawled away quickly as if he had been pardoned, and decided to escape from the tiger's prison overnight.
On the other side, Mu Ziyan arrived at the gate of Yilan Palace, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Qinglin who was on duty as soon as he took a step. He clasped his fists and said, "I am Mu Ziyan, and I would like to see Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Without saying a word, Qinglin took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Mu Ziyan without hesitation, then raised his chin slightly to signal Mu Ziyan to open it and take a look.
Slowly unfolding the note in his hand, Mu Ziyan's face became more and more ugly, and he asked with gritted teeth: "What do you mean Mu Ziyan and dogs are not allowed to enter? Isn't your master as mentally retarded as a child? How can he write?"
"My master said that this note clearly states his attitude. Lord Mu is so smart that he will definitely understand it." After Qinglin finished speaking, he stood up straight and said no more.
Mu Ziyan held the note tightly in his hand. "Feng Muyan, you are so good! I'll make a note of this for you!"
Mu Ziyan was very familiar with the terrain of Yilan Palace. She quickly went around to an unguarded palace wall and jumped over with a light tap of her feet.
