Mu Han stepped forward and said, "Royal brother, I think today's matter ends here. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Nanfeng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a bitter smile.

That smile seemed to carry an endless amount of helplessness and vicissitudes. He nodded gently and replied, "Your Majesty, I will obey your command."

After saying that, he sighed deeply, turned around and walked in the direction he came from. Mu Han looked at his back as he walked away, feeling mixed emotions.

Jiang Lingchuan looked at Mu Nanfeng's back and asked, "Your Majesty? Are you really just going to let today's incident go?"

The Duke of Zhenguo also bowed and said, "Yes! Your Majesty, this Prince Shu might still have evil intentions. Why not arrest them all together to eliminate future troubles?"

Mu Han shook his head. "They are all pitiful people. He hasn't made any irreparable mistakes yet. If you push him too hard, it won't be good."

Jiang Lingchuan and the Duke of Zhenguo also nodded, thinking that what Mu Han said made sense.

Hong Shan protected He Yue to the foot of the mountain. Guo Yulan, Li Guihua, Doctor Mo and others were waiting not far from the foot of the mountain. After the ceremony was over, they went together to intercept Mu Nanfeng.

Xiao Zhuang looked up and saw a familiar figure among the people coming down. He pointed happily and said, "Sister, mother, it's sister, it's sister."

Hearing Xiao Zhuang's voice, everyone looked towards the ladder, and Xiao Zhuang ran forward, "Sister."

Hong Shan protected He Yue. He Yue heard the voice and looked carefully, "Xiao Zhuang, big brother, mother..."

He Yue ran down faster and hugged Xiao Zhuang who was running towards her. "Xiao Zhuang, why are you all here?"

Li Guihua and the others stepped forward, each saying, "Xiaoyue, are you okay?"

"Yue'er, are you okay?"

He Yue looked at them and said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's leave first!"

Although we were at the foot of the mountain, we could still hear some fighting and shouting from the mountain.

He Yue looked back at Hong Shan and said, "Thank you for sending me off, sir. You can go back soon! I believe the prince needs you more."

Seeing so many people and having safely sent He Yue down the mountain, Hong Shan was worried about Mu Nanfeng's safety, so he bowed to He Yue and said, "Miss He, please take care of yourself. I won't send you off any longer."

He Yue returned the greeting, "Thank you very much."

Hong Shan and his men rushed up the mountain again. He Yue just turned around and was about to ask them why they all came.

At this time, Xiaoquan screamed, "Ah! It's him, it's him, he killed my brother and the whole village."

He Yue turned around and saw Xiaoquan pointing at Hongshan in horror. Hongshan heard a sound and looked back.

He Yue hurriedly covered Xiaoquan's mouth, and when she turned around to look at Hongshan and the others, they were still running upwards.

He Yue looked at everyone and said, "Quick, let's get out of here first."

Everyone squeezed into two carriages and returned to the city together. At Guo Yulan's suggestion, they all went to Guo's house.

As soon as they sat down in the hall, Xiaoquan cried and said, "Sister, it was him. He was the one who led people to kill everyone in the village and killed my brother. I want to take revenge and kill him."

Dazhuang pulled the excited Xiaoquan over and said, "Are you going to seek revenge just like this? Can you beat him?"

Xiao Quan sobbed, and He Yue hugged him. "Okay, don't get excited. Sister wants to ask you, are you sure he is the murderer?"

Xiao Quan nodded repeatedly. "Yes, I saw them secretly when they were holding torches that night. It was him. He also ordered people to set fire to the entire village."

Mo Yiyun said, "He seems to be one of Prince Shu's men. Could it be that the village was destroyed not by the Queen Mother's men, but by Prince Shu?"

Guo Yulan's eyes widened as she stared at everyone in disbelief. She shouted, "I absolutely don't believe Mu Nanfeng is the kind of person you're talking about! He's always been honest, kind, and upright. How could he do such a thing? There must be some misunderstanding!"

Her voice trembled with excitement, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

The people around looked at each other in confusion, but Guo Yulan still stood there firmly, defending Mu Nanfeng's reputation without flinching.

He Yue said, "Lan'er, I know you don't believe it, and we don't want to believe it either. However, these past few days in the palace, I've learned some things about Prince Shu. I, we, and even the whole world, I'm afraid we've all been deceived by him."

Guo Yulan retorted, "You believe what the Queen Mother and the others said? If Prince Shu was really like you said, why would he send someone to escort you?"

He Yue stood there, her lips trembling slightly, but she couldn't utter a word.

Her heart was filled with helplessness and grievance, but faced with the situation before her, all words seemed so pale and powerless.

Da Zhuang and He Tian, ​​on the other hand, stood firmly beside He Yue, their eyes revealing their unreserved trust in He Yue.

This trust does not come from momentary impulse or blindness, but from the deep feelings and understanding accumulated over a long period of time together.

No matter the ups and downs or difficulties and obstacles, Dazhuang and He Tian always believe in He Yue's character and qualities, and believe that she will never slander others at will.

Dazhuang said, "Sister, is what you said because of what you witnessed on the top of the mountain?"

He Yue nodded. "Yes, but this matter is very serious. The less people know about it, the better. Also, we have to leave Yudu as soon as possible."

He Tian said, "If Yue'er said that, then something big must have happened. Let's go now without further ado!"

He Yue looked at Guo Yulan and said, "Lan'er, thank you for taking care of my mother and the others. Your father is still in office, so everything should be fine. We are leaving now. Please take care of yourself. I will come to see you again when you are fine."

Guo Yulan stood there quietly, watching He Yue and the others leave with calm eyes, without too many ups and downs in her heart.

She neither refused them too much to stay nor did she warmly ask them not to leave.

It was as if all this happened naturally, and she just accepted the result silently.

He Yue and the others slowly walked out of the mansion's gate, each step seemed to be accompanied by a hint of hesitation, but Guo Yulan still did not call out to them.

The sunlight shines on her, outlining her slightly lonely figure. The wind blows, gently ruffling her skirt, but it cannot blow away the faint expression on her face.

Guo Yulan stood where she was, her eyes closely following the carriage that was gradually moving away. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and a hint of doubt and uneasiness flashed in her eyes.

She turned her head and looked at Lu He beside her. She asked hesitantly, "Lu He, tell me, is what Yue Er just said true? Is Prince Shu really as despicable as Yue Er described?"

As she spoke, Guo Yulan couldn't help but shake her head slightly, as if she couldn't believe what she heard.

However, the doubts in her heart continued to grow like weeds, making her want to get a definite answer from Lu He.
