At night.
The moonlight is charming.
Mu Bai walked past Dashang Palace.
The imperial guards in the palace were shocked and saluted one after another, but no one dared to stop them.
In the Shou'an Palace, a chamberlain hurriedly came over and said urgently, "Your Majesty, the Fourth Highness is back."
In front of the window, Emperor Shang was shocked when he heard the report from his chamberlain. He turned around and ordered, "Bring him here immediately!"
"yes!"
The chamberlain took the order, stood up and left.
Not long after, Mu Bai walked over from outside Shou'an Hall and walked straight into the hall.
"My son, I have met my father!"
In the hall, Mu Bai knelt down and saluted, saying respectfully.
"Get up quickly."
Emperor Shang stepped forward quickly, helped his legitimate son up with his own hands, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and asked, "Tell me, father, what happened these days."
"It's a long story."
Mu Bai stood up and said softly, "On the battlefield, my son was seriously injured and on the verge of death. When he was dying, he was rescued..."
In front of the chess table, Mu Bai recounted what happened these days bit by bit.
Of course, Mu Bai still knew what to say and what not to say.
"A Taoist person?"
After hearing Mu Bai's experiences these days, Emperor Shang's eyes narrowed slightly and he said, "It turns out that the Taoist sect still has successors."
"have."
Mu Bai nodded and responded, "It's just that almost all of them have escaped from the world and have not appeared for many years. I was also lucky this time. I happened to meet them and I was lucky enough to save my life."
"I see."
Emperor Shang said solemnly, "By the way, where are they now? I sent someone to fetch them. They saved your life, and I want to reward them well."
"My son and I don't know either."
Mu Bai shook his head and replied, "After my son's injury healed, they all left, presumably because they didn't want others to disturb me."
"That's such a shame."
Emperor Shang sighed softly and said, "That's all, everyone has their own ambitions. Let's find a way to express our gratitude when we have the opportunity in the future."
"Um."
Mu Bai responded, hesitated, and said, "Father, when I come back, I will be with my eldest brother..."
In the middle of his words, Mu Bai paused and sighed in his heart. He stopped talking and changed the subject. He excused himself and said, "Father, it's getting late. You should go to bed early. I will go to my mother's place." Say hello to me."
"Go ahead."
Emperor Shang didn't say anything else and responded casually.
"My son, please retire."
Mu Bai stood up, saluted again, then turned and left.
"Bai'er."
When Mu Bai was about to leave the palace, from behind, Emperor Shang spoke and asked calmly, "Does the matter in your brother's palace have anything to do with you?"
As soon as the fourth child came back, something like this happened in Mu Yuan's house. The coincidence was unbelievable.
"No."
In front of the palace, Mu Bai stopped, shook his head gently, and walked away immediately.
In the palace, Emperor Shang looked at the former's leaving figure, a flash of light flashing in his eyes.
Bai'er seems to have changed a bit.
Does the matter in Mu Yuan's mansion have anything to do with Bai'er?
If it was relevant, then his biological son really impressed him.
A quarter of an hour later.
Weiyang Palace.
The lights were brightly lit, and Queen Changsun had not rested yet. She sat at the table and waited patiently.
Because Murong said that Bai'er would come back today.
"Mother."
At this moment, outside the palace, Mu Bai walked up to the shocked eyes of all the servants and called softly.
At the table, Queen Changsun trembled when she heard this familiar voice and stood up immediately.
The next moment, tears silently came out of Queen Changsun's eyes and fell down drop by drop.
Thousands of words came to my lips, but they all turned into just one word.
"well."
Empress Changsun looked at her son who had been missing for several months and could not suppress the excitement in her heart.
Just come back, just come back!
"You all go down first."
After a brief moment of confusion, Queen Changsun suppressed the excitement in her heart and ordered.
"yes!"
In the palace, several young eunuchs and palace maids bowed and retreated.
After all the chambermaids left, Empress Changsun stood up and stepped forward, stretched out her hand to caress the face of the son in front of her, and said distressedly, "You have lost a lot of weight. You have suffered a lot these days, right?"
"Mother is worried."
Mu Bai responded softly, "My son is doing well these days, but my mother has lost a lot of weight."
"Let's sit down and talk."
Empress Changsun took her son in front of her and sat down beside her, and asked with concern, "By the way, Bai'er, what exactly does Mr. Li want to do? Murong always said that half of it would be left and half would be left, but she could never explain it clearly. Moreover, the queen mother felt that... Murong himself doesn’t seem to know all of Professor Li’s plans.”
"My son doesn't know that clearly."
Mu Bai sighed softly, "The information Brother Li gave everyone is only part of it. Only he knows the complete plan."
"This Professor Li is really awesome."
Empress Changsun lamented, "He has tied us all into a boat. Now, no one can get off the boat and can only move forward according to his plan."
In the current situation, if the ship capsizes, no one can escape. Only the Li family can escape safely, because from the beginning to the end, the Li family has never really entered the chess game.
And the information she, Murong, Feng Yu, and Bai'er had was only part of the information, and they couldn't figure out Professor Li's true purpose at all. It would be difficult to drag him down.
Seamless and frightening.
"As of now, I can only believe in Brother Li."
Mu Bai said calmly, "Although I don't know all of Brother Li's plans, I know that without Brother Li, I would have died long ago."
"The Queen Mother doesn't have any doubts about him."
Empress Changsun said with a complicated expression, "It's just that such a person is too scary. If he becomes an enemy, it will be a nightmare."
"Mother is too worried."
Mu Bai said sternly, "Brother Li has no ambition here. The rights and interests that the common people in the world are fighting for are not worth mentioning in his eyes."
"What does he want?"
When Queen Changsun heard this, her expression condensed and she asked.
"landscape."
Mu Bai said softly, "What he wants is a peaceful and prosperous age for hundreds of generations. He said that many things in this world have been done by others, and it would be meaningless for him to do them again. Only a peaceful and prosperous age for hundreds of generations, even if Even in the era of Taoism, he wanted to see if he and the Li family could do what others couldn't do."
Being able to stand at the top of the mountain and see all the small mountains at a glance, Brother Li and the Li family are fighting for a great power that has never been seen before in the world, not for these petty profits and boring power.
"madman."
Queen Changsun was shocked when she heard the words of her legitimate son in front of her. After a moment, she came back to her senses and added, "Madman!"
Qingyu Army Camp.
Mu Yuan looked at the commoner king in front of him and said in a deep voice, "This king has another option. He is to lead troops into the fiefdom, and then find a way to clear his grievances and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback."
"Your Highness has no such opportunity."
Li Ziye stared at the eldest prince in front of him and said calmly, "My informants in the capital sent news that when His Highness's mansion exploded today, the fourth prince was among the crowd. It is obvious that the fourth prince arranged this matter. Your Highness Do you think he will give His Highness a chance to make a comeback?"
At this point, Li Ziye changed his tone and said with an indifferent expression, "Your Highness, if you don't strike first, soon, the only thing waiting for Your Highness will be an encirclement and suppression by the imperial army, and the person leading the army at that time is likely to have already The fourth prince who became the crown prince.”
