The southwest territory was originally the fiefdom of the King of Southwest, although the officials here were all appointed by the imperial court.

But those who were able to survive here had actually already surrendered to the King of Southwest.

Now, the entire Southwestern Army is in Zhan Wuhui's hands, and these people are beginning to tremble with fear.

They knew their good days were over.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that there are no good people here. After all, the King of Southwest also needs the hearts of the people.

He just didn't want these people to be loyal to the imperial court and didn't allow them to reveal the real situation here to the imperial court.

But officials should naturally do their best to perform their duties.

Mu Yunyao asked someone to do a quick investigation. Those who had committed serious crimes were left alone, but those who had only committed minor offenses were given a tip-off.

Then he gathered these people together, took out the secret order given by the emperor, and gave them a beating first with courtesy and then with force.

Some people still want to resist. Wouldn't it be useful at this time for the female army she brought with her?

She directly dispatched five thousand people to surround the mansions of those officials.

He also directly killed several diehard followers of the King of the Southwest, and the situation that was about to become turbulent suddenly stabilized.

And it is not appropriate for anyone to do such a thing.

If it were someone else who came and killed court officials at will, even if she had the emperor's oral order, she could act at her own will, and there would be less criticism from the old ministers in the court afterwards.

But Mu Yunyao is different. She is just a woman. In the eyes of those chauvinistic men, she is just a woman in the harem.

No matter how capable you are, after getting married you can only take care of your husband and children.

Oh, no, her husband is still a disabled person, and she can't even teach her son.

Even if the emperor gave her rewards, it would not be a big threat to them.

While dealing with the matters here, Mu Yunyao concentrated on taking care of the eldest princess's health, and waited for the inspection censor arranged by the emperor to come.

Then, she could escort Lord Anle back to the capital, and her mission would be completed.

It's a pity that she will definitely not be able to make it to her wedding.

I could only write back and ask Xiao Qianmo to postpone the wedding.

Not only was the matter of the Southwest still unresolved, but what she cared about more was what the King of the Southwest had said before.

After the Fourth Prince of Nanzhao was taken away that day, she told Zhan Wuhui about it.

Zhan Wuhui had just come back to his senses from what his sister had just done, and he heard his sister say to him.

"Brother, let's go somewhere else. I have something to tell you."

This place is too bloody and not suitable for conversation.

Zhan Wuhui naturally had no objection.

He threw his spear to his personal guard, and the two went to the flower hall of the palace where guests were received.

After having the tea served, Mu Yunyao took a sip and spoke.

"The King of Southwest just said that our mother is not dead."

"what?"

Zhan Wuhui jumped up from his chair excitedly.

When Mu Yunyao saw him like this, she simply put down the teacup in her hand.

Zhan Wuhui looked at the girl's calm expression and realized that he might be too excited.

"You are so calm, do you not believe what he said?"

Zhan Wuhui soon discovered that Mu Yunyao was not in a good condition.

Mu Yunyao hid her trembling hands back in her sleeves. Only she knew how uneasy she felt.

The reason why she didn't show it was because she knew that this matter could not be rushed, and they had to deal with the things here first.

If chaos breaks out in the southwest, they will have no chance to find their mother.

"Brother, I think what he said might be true."

After all, in some ways, the King of Southwest and Mu Jinnian should have been in collusion with each other for a long time.

At that time, everyone said that my mother was worried and depressed.

However, she checked her mother's pulse and it seemed that this was not the case.

Moreover, this was inconsistent with their mother's character. From what she knew, after discovering the truth, her mother would not just provide a way out for her daughter and then wait to die, even if she only had one last breath left.

She should crush the scumbag to death and then go find them.

She told Zhan Wuhui her thoughts.

Then he looked at Zhan Wuhui with a twinkling gaze and said, "Brother, I know your army has special interrogation methods. Can I leave this to you?"

She still has a lot of cleanup work to do, and she is really not as good as Zhan Wuhui when it comes to interrogation.

Zhan Wuhui naturally would not refuse at this time.

"Don't worry, I will use all the methods used in the military to interrogate spies."

Mu Yunyao silently lit a candle for the King of Southwest in her heart, but still nodded.

"Then thank you for your hard work, brother."

Mu Yunyao smiled sweetly at him, and then they went their separate ways to do their own things.

In addition to being on guard against those who are loyal to the King of Southwest, Mu Yunyao's most important concern is naturally the health of the eldest princess.

It is said that a centipede is still alive even after death. In just one night, she encountered three or four groups of people who wanted to break into the palace to rescue people.

Although no one escaped alive, people still rushed in one after another. She didn't understand why they were sending people in one after another like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather.

With the recalled eldest princess' guards and her own secret guards, she had no worries about her own safety.

After having the medicinal herbs prepared, she began to treat the princess's health.

The first step, naturally, is to take a medicinal bath, followed by acupuncture.

The eldest princess was helped into the barrel of black medicine, and only then did she see clearly that she was much thinner than she had imagined.

"Princess, soak for a quarter of an hour first, and I will give you acupuncture."

The eldest princess nodded at her, still a little embarrassed.

And it was because she was helping the princess take a medicinal bath that she discovered that she was still a virgin.

Mu Yunyao remained calm and pretended not to see it.

But the princess still found out.

He smiled and pressed the gecko gauze on his wrist.

"My princess, you should feel very sorry for me, right? Actually, there is no need to do so. Instead of forcing yourself to serve someone you don't like, it is better to remain innocent. What do you think?"

Mu Yunyao couldn't help but think of her past life and nodded in agreement.

After her rebirth, she was very glad that nothing had happened between her and Baili Xun in her previous life, otherwise she would have been disgusted to death.

Princess Anle looked at her like this, smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"I am confused too. You are still an unmarried little girl, how can you understand this matter?"

Mu Yunyao did not respond. I can't say that I understand you. I have experienced what you have experienced in my previous life.

However, in her previous life, she had done a lot for that disgusting person in order to survive.

Time passed quietly in silence. Mu Yunyao gave her an injection and then carried her to bed.

It’s not that she is strong, but the eldest princess is too light now. She is probably not even as heavy as a girl of seven or eight years old. Her hair is very dry and yellow.
