Dethroned the Crown Princess? Then she became your mother

When Eunuch An saw Murong Shuo standing outside the door, he felt puzzled and wanted to describe his situation.

Murong Shuo glanced sideways and said calmly, "I want to leave the palace and investigate."

Eunuch An was stunned when he heard this and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, leaving the palace now? However, the earth-shaking incident has not yet completely subsided, and the aftermath is still lingering. The people are discussing this matter, and rumors are spreading, involving Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, and King Cheng. I wonder if Your Majesty's trip is for the former Crown Princess?"

Murong Shuo frowned slightly and replied, "Eunuch An, why do you say that? I am the ruler of a country. How can I let personal feelings interfere with public affairs? I want to personally inspect the situation after the earth dragon turned over and confirm the casualties among the people."

Eunuch An suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Your Majesty is wise. That family had arranged for people to closely monitor Nanny Liu and the others at the temple farm. They witnessed everything that night."

"The original plan was to replace them, but after the Earth Dragon incident, they were left there. After careful consideration, I decided to have them continue to observe closely and not move around freely."

Murong Shuo nodded in agreement and said, "This is a very good idea. Since Miss Zhang is not in the temple now, there is no need to replace the palace maids for the time being. Let's proceed according to your arrangements."

Eunuch An replied, "Yes, Your Majesty is wise. Furthermore, I have carefully selected a group of palace maids for Miss Zhang. They have undergone rigorous training and instruction, and are all honest and dutiful. Palace affairs were previously busy, so I had to take my time in selecting them."

"Now that things have calmed down a bit, we've just decided on the candidates. They've already accepted the instructions from the Za family and will follow Miss Zhang's orders."

Murong Shuo nodded slightly and said, "That's very good. Eunuch An is very thorough and considerate. I am very pleased. Let's follow your arrangements."

Eunuch An bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will arrange it right away."

Then he added, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to ask you. It's about Miss Zhang's residence. I have chosen a quiet place for her in the palace. I wonder if Your Majesty is satisfied?"

Murong Shuo pondered for a moment and said, "We'll discuss this matter later. I'm concerned about the safety of the people right now, so I need to personally inspect it."

Eunuch An nodded in agreement, deeply admiring Murong Shuo's wise decision.

Recently, Miss Zhang has only Chunmei by her side for unknown reasons, and the other guards around her also seem quite rare.

Perhaps it was fate's arrangement, or perhaps it was a trick of fate, but now there is a new guard candidate who can be sent to Miss Zhang.

He mentioned the matter again, and his words revealed a lot of emotions.

However, Murong Shuo didn't seem to care. He responded calmly, "You've already said it, why should I blame you? Now that you've chosen it, send it on."

Eunuch An was a little hesitant at this moment. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

He asked, "Your Majesty, do you need to take a look at the selected palace maids first?"

Murong Shuo waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary. He trusted Eunuch An's vision and believed that the person he chose was the right one.

Seeing this, Eunuch An had no choice but to lower his head and replied, "Yes, I will arrange it right away."

Just as Eunuch An was about to step away, someone suddenly appeared outside the door, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty."

This sudden appearance caught Murong Shuo's attention.

After Eunuch An went out to inquire, he returned with a somewhat displeased look on his face. He looked at Murong Shuo and whispered, "Your Majesty, there are rumors outside that you should issue an imperial edict of culpability."

After hearing this, Murong Shuo frowned slightly.

He couldn't help but think that these people's actions were really unpredictable.

Although there have been disturbances before, no one has ever dared to make such a request.

Now that this storm has just begun, it has already made him unhappy.

He looked at Eunuch An and for a moment didn't know how to start.

After a while, he slowly spoke, "Are these people getting a little impatient? They think so deeply about such a small matter."

Eunuch An nodded in agreement, "Yes, Your Majesty. Those who normally wouldn't even dare to breathe are now acting strangely. And you, His Highness Prince Cheng, are highly praised for your wisdom and bravery. But some of Prince Cheng's recent actions are cause for great concern."

After hearing this, Murong Shuo pondered for a moment. He understood Eunuch An's concerns.

The question now is whether to address these rumors and Cheng Wang's actions.

He needs to think carefully to avoid unnecessary trouble and misunderstanding.

At the same time, he also thought about the fact that the former Crown Princess's affair had not yet been exposed, which made him feel the complexity and seriousness of the matter even more.

He needs to handle these matters carefully to avoid causing greater turmoil and controversy.

Murong Shuo already had a plan in mind for King Cheng's actions.

He needed to communicate with King Cheng and understand his thoughts and intentions.

At the same time, measures must be taken to quell these rumors and disturbances and maintain the stability and order of the court.

How should we deal with the current situation? Eunuch An asked.

Murong Shuo responded, "Since it's been left alone for a while, let's choose an appropriate time to deal with it. Has there been any movement from the Crown Prince recently?"

Eunuch An paused in thought before replying, "Your Majesty, are you worried that the Crown Prince might get involved? His Majesty does have a good relationship with Prince Cheng, but Your Majesty has already expressed your concerns to him several times before."

Murong Shuo shook his head slightly, seeming helpless: "Even so, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to still be in contact with King Cheng." He felt helpless about this, but could not intervene directly.

Eunuch An continued, "Your Majesty, as the crown prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not easily get involved in unjust things."

Murong Shuo nodded in agreement: "I hope he can keep a clear head."

Eunuch An spoke again: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a dull person. He should be able to distinguish right from wrong."

Murong Shuo waved his hand to signal Eunuch An not to say more. He said that someone was closely monitoring King Cheng, and as for those who spread false statements, they would be dealt with together when the time comes.

"The current priority is to shut up Youyou and not let remarks like 'the imperial edict of guilt' appear again," Eunuch An reminded.

Murong Shuo's eyes showed determination: "This is something a king who lost his country would do. How can I be compared with him? I am the ruler of the revival of the country, not much different from the founding king."

At this time, a guard came in and announced: "Your Majesty, the Queen has arrived."

Eunuch An was slightly surprised and looked out the door. Murong Shuo asked directly, "What is the matter that the Queen came here for?"

Before Eunuch An could answer, Murong Shuo signaled the guards to let the queen in.

The queen walked into the hall and bowed. Murong Shuo then asked her directly why she came.

After a moment's reflection, the Queen replied, "Your Majesty, I have come to inquire about your views on this situation and to offer my assistance."

After hearing this, Murong Shuo asked them all to stand up, then looked directly at the Queen and said, "If you have anything to say, please speak up. I still have important matters to attend to."

Seeing this, the queen knew that she could not hide it, so she told the emperor her purpose and her concerns.

Eunuch An observed all this silently from the side, and admired the wisdom of His Majesty and the sincerity of the Queen.

Murong Shuo had far-reaching aspirations and wanted to leave the palace to find out what was going on.

His words were short and clear: "Yes, I want to go out and take a look."

As soon as these words were spoken, Eunuch An's eyes moved between him and the Queen, as if he was trying to figure something out.

The queen was full of questions, and looking at Murong Shuo's back, she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

She knew that it was not her place to ask about His Majesty's whereabouts and return date.

However, deep down in her heart, there is so much information about the outside world that she wants to know.

Murong Shuo answered with just two words: "The capital." He said it briefly and then turned and left.

Upon seeing this, Eunuch An breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to the Queen, indicating that everything was back to normal.

The queen remained silent, but her heart was surging.

After leaving the palace, Murong Shuo led his men around, and wherever he looked, he saw that everything was well governed, and he couldn't help but nod in praise.

Then he came to the mansion, stared at the door, and ordered people to knock on the door and inquire.

"Is anyone in the mansion still there?" he asked.

The guard took the order and left, and soon received a reply - Zhang Tianai had not gone out, or she had already returned home.

At this time, Zhang Tianai was talking with Chunmei, talking about the tragic fate of those who died due to the earth dragon turning over.

She recalled the first time she participated in a rescue. It was dark and her vision was blurry, and she did not feel much pain at the time.

However, as the rescue operations continued day after day, she witnessed too many injured people, collapsed houses and blood on the ground, and the bitterness and sadness in her heart became more and more intense.

Zhang Tianai knew very well that no matter whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, the people would always suffer the most.

Even in modern society, whenever she witnesses the tragedy of an earthquake through the Internet, that sad feeling still follows her.

She understood that only by experiencing it personally could one truly understand the helplessness and despair.

Recalling her experiences in her previous life, Zhang Tianai understood more clearly the fragility and helplessness of ordinary people in the face of disasters.
