The First Tyrant of Daxia

Beat Ale away.

The yard was quiet and empty.

She enjoyed the breeze for a while, then walked into the house again, closed the door tightly, and came to the bronze mirror like a thief.

Hands that are not working have gradually become whiter and no longer rough.

She gently stroked her cheek with her slender fingers, with a gentleness unique to women from the Central Plains.

When her hand touched the wrinkle at the corner of her eye, a hint of anxiety appeared in her beautiful eyes.

A famous general fears old age, and a beautiful woman fears gray hair.

"Ugh……"

She sighed softly in the dark room.

"Forget it. How can a common woman like me dare to hope for such a heroic emperor like His Majesty?"

"The gap between him and me is like a chasm that cannot be crossed."

"Instead of being shameless and sticking to him, it is better to think of his goodness and hope that he and his empire will become more and more powerful."

"He has done enough for the Mu family, but what can I bring to him? Even if it's beauty, with three thousand beauties in the harem, who can compare to me?"

After saying that, a wry smile appeared on her lips.

The simple yet touching face was filled with sadness.

Finally, he slowly stood up, looked at the portrait affectionately, and blew out the only candle.

What Mu Ci didn't know at the moment was that Mu Le didn't actually go far, but was eavesdropping in the yard.

When I heard her sighs and her mumbling.

Mu Le frowned, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

He didn't expect that his mother had such concerns.

"no!"

"Mom has suffered so much over the years, I have to think of a solution!"

the next day!

Qin Yun met with Mu Le.

The emperor and his minister were walking and chatting in the imperial garden.

"Ale, you have matured. After going through several wars, you can now stand on your own."

Ah Le smiled shyly, patted his head, and was still the same young man: "Godfather, it's all because of you who promoted me and taught me well."

Qin Yun laughed.

"You have learned to be humble."

"You should take a good rest in the imperial capital these days and spend more time with your family."

"I have already asked the Ministry of War to start expanding the army. The Shenji Camp, the Qinglong Guard, and even the Mangshan and other places, all my direct troops will be expanded!"

Ah Le's eyes lit up with joy: "Thank you, godfather."

After saying this, his eyes rolled and he suddenly thought of the portrait he saw in his mother's room last night.

He and his wife, Mrs. Huo, discussed the matter and came to the conclusion that his mother must be interested in His Majesty!

"Godfather, there is something I don't know whether I should ask you..."

Qin Yun raised his eyebrows: "Just say it, stop being so shy."

Ah Le pondered for a moment and said tentatively, "When I was away at war, I heard that my mother would often come to ask Your Majesty about my situation."

Hearing this, Qin Yun's face looked strange for a moment, and he immediately thought of Mu Ci that night.

"Yes, she was here."

"She's worried about you."

"what happened?"

Ah Le nodded and said thoughtfully: "No, I'm just asking."

Qin Yun asked casually: "Is everything okay at home? How is your mother?"

Hearing this, Ah Le's eyes lit up.

Your Majesty, are you concerned about my mother?

"She's...not good!"

Ah Le started to show off his wit and spoke seriously.

Qin Yun was stunned, stopped, frowned and asked: "What's wrong with her?"

Seeing this, Ah Le felt that the two could be brought together.

One is the gentle and kind mother who suffered a lot in the first half of her life, and the other is the adoptive father who promoted and helped me. It would be best if they could be together!

"She has been having trouble sleeping lately and feels upset in her chest!"

Qin Yun frowned and said, "Then ask the imperial physician to go back with you and see what's wrong with your mother. Make sure she's cured."

Ah Le waved his hands quickly and said, "No... Godfather, my mother is not actually ill."

"She just feels that our Mu family owes you too much and has no way to repay you, so she has a knot in her heart."

He spoke more and more fluently, and said with eyes wide open, "If I could trouble my foster father to go to the Mu Mansion and give her some advice, that would be the best."

Qin Yun was stunned for a moment, looked at Mu Le twice more, and felt something strange in his heart, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Mu Le seemed to be seen through and couldn't help but feel nervous.

Finally, Qin Yun nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it today."

"I have nothing to do, so I'll go to the Hero Pavilion first, and then go to the Mu Mansion."

Mu Le's face lit up with joy, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay!"

Subsequently.

Qin Yun packed up and took Li Mu to the Hero Pavilion.

He stayed in the Hero Pavilion for several hours, personally recruited some decent talents, and then asked someone to send Li Mu back to the palace.

He followed Ale to the Mu Mansion.

The backyard of the Mu Mansion became busy in an instant.

"Madam, His Majesty is here!"

A maidservant reported happily and excitedly.

Mu Ci was pruning a potted plant when she dropped her scissors on the ground. She was stunned and said, "Your Majesty is here. Are you sure?"

"Really, really, the young general is with His Majesty!" The maid blushed excitedly.

Mu Ci finally believed it, and a wave of emotion appeared in his calm gaze.

She gathered her hair and said, "Hurry, I'm going to change my clothes."

"And bring out the rouge Ah Le bought for me. Your Majesty is here, so we can't lose our manners."

"Yes, yes, yes." The maid went to prepare immediately.

After a while, Mu Ci, who was still dressing up in the room, suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.

Accompanied by the servant's voice: "Your Majesty!"

Her pretty face suddenly turned pale and she was a little flustered. What was he doing here?

"Mom, His Majesty is here to see you!" A Le shouted.

Mu Ci's cheeks were flushed with shame and she cursed in her heart, "This brat, does he know how to speak? Isn't he deliberately trying to make the servants misunderstand?"

She quickly tidied herself up and went out to greet him.

With a click, the door was pushed open.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." She bowed.

Qin Yun looked at it and was stunned on the spot!

Mu Ci was obviously dressed up, with her long hair draped over her shoulders and her charming figure in a plain palace dress, looking very gentle.

Her eyebrows and eyes are as comfortable as water, and she has light makeup on her face. Although it is not perfect, it already adds a touch of bright color to her.

It looks like he is in good spirits.

He doesn't look sick!

Qin Yun was confused and glanced at Ah Le who looked guilty.

"Um... Madam Mu, I heard that you haven't been feeling well recently?"

Madam Mu, these three words made Mu Ci blush and feel something was weird.

She subconsciously felt that her relationship with Qin Yun was not that distant or polite.

"No, no."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm fine." She said directly without realizing that something was wrong.

Qin Yun was stunned and glanced at A Le. What on earth was this kid doing?

At this time, Mu Ci also noticed something was wrong and looked at A Le.

Ale wiped the sweat from his forehead and laughed.

"Godfather, mother, you two chat."

"I'll go prepare the tea."

After saying that, he left the scene as if he was escaping.

In the backyard, only Qin Yun and Mu Ci were left staring at each other.

After the previous conversations, the two of them always felt awkward and inexplicably ambiguous whenever they met.

Qin Yun touched the tip of his nose, looked around, and took the initiative to say, "Madam, you have taken good care of this yard. It is very beautiful."
