You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime
Chapter 23 Secret Talk
On the official road back to the city.
After Mu Yunge's carriage had gone for a while, An Bei accidentally discovered a carriage following far behind.
"Miss, Mu Qinxue's carriage is behind."
Mu Yunge narrowed his eyes: "Driver, hurry up!"
The driver whipped the horse on its butt.
"drive!"
The carriage suddenly accelerated and rushed all the way to the capital. The distance between them and Mu Qinxue's carriage was getting bigger and bigger, and everyone felt a little relieved.
"Annan, you said Lin Jinhao left early this morning?"
"Yes, at daybreak, he left in a hurry with a few of his men."
He must be anxious to go back to Zhao Hongyi to discuss countermeasures.
Mu Yunge lay down indifferently. He was so happy last night because things went smoothly that he barely slept. Now was a good time to catch up on some sleep.
Everyone here was happy, but on the other side of the carriage, Mu Qinxue leaned against the wall in frustration, not saying a word.
"Miss..." Xiao Cui hesitated to speak.
Mu Qinxue pretended not to hear or see anything, and felt very annoyed.
Things have turned out like this. Not only am I extremely embarrassed, but I have also ruined the plans of the Third Prince and the Crown Prince. I don't even dare to think about the consequences.
Who ruined our good thing?
Mu Yunge?
It can't be her.
Daddy said that the female team she had were only of average skill, equivalent to ordinary secret guards, and could not be compared with the masters hired by the prince. It was impossible for them to do it so perfectly.
Apart from them, there were only the first and second prince's men, and they really didn't want the General's Mansion to become a help to the third prince.
One day, I will tear those who framed and humiliated me into pieces to avenge the shame of last night.
Mu Qinxue was so angry that she simply closed her eyes and let her chaotic thoughts run around in her mind like a headless fly.
Seeing this, Xiao Cui gave up the idea of comforting him and leaned against the wall of the car to take a nap.
Just when they were dozing off, the carriage suddenly shook violently, and the master and servants were all shaken to the ground inside the carriage. Some hit their heads, and some hit their waists.
"Coachman, what's the matter? How do you drive the car?"
Xiao Cui struggled to get up, lifted the car curtain and looked outside.
The driver walked around the carriage and reported, "Miss, the carriage is broken down and can't move."
Mu Qinxue's heart skipped a beat, and she got out of the carriage with the help of Xiao Cui and two maids.
"What's going on? Can it be fixed?"
The driver was unsure, "Maybe it can be fixed. Please rest aside and wait for me, young lady."
After saying that, he found some stones, raised the wheels a little, crawled down, and got under the carriage to tinker with it.
At this time, two groups of people went to Puhua Temple. Some of them knew Mu Qinxue, nodded and greeted her, then left.
Xiao Cui looked around and said, "Miss, there is no village in front and no shop behind us. What should we do?"
Mu Qinxue's face was so dark that it looked like water could be squeezed out of it. "You ask me what to do? I want to ask you what to do. What is the purpose of the Mu family raising you?"
Xiao Cui didn't dare to say anything, just hoping that someone would return to the city or that the coachman would quickly repair the carriage.
The master and his servants sat dejectedly beside the carriage. The driver was busy repairing the carriage. No one noticed that three figures flashed in the bushes and disappeared on the spot.
General's Mansion.
At the beginning of noon, Mu Yunge's carriage drove straight into the general's mansion.
At this time, the old man was waiting in the study in the front yard, while Guo Shu was waiting outside the study.
Seeing him coming back, Guo Shu came out to greet him in the hall: "Ge'er, your grandfather has been waiting for you in the study for a long time."
Mu Yunge nodded at her mother, and the mother and daughter walked into the study together.
The old man looked at Guo Shu and said, "Ge'er's mother, go guard the door and don't let anyone get close to here. Ge'er and I have something to say."
Guo Shu knew that the old man was a man of his word, and she also knew that the grandfather and grandson had something to say that was of life and death to the general's mansion. She nodded and left the study, had someone bring a chair, and actually sat down at the door of the study.
In the study room.
The old man explained, "Although your mother is also the daughter of a military commander and has served in the army with your father and brother for many years, her health is not very good. It is better not to let her worry about certain things."
"I know."
Mu Yunge knelt before the old man and said, "Grandfather, I believe mother has already told you about some things in the mansion."
The old man said solemnly, "Your mother said what she said. Grandfather wants to hear your own story. This is related to the survival of the General's Mansion. You must explain it in detail and clearly without hiding anything."
Mu Yunge nodded, stood up, pulled over a chair and sat down next to the old man.
"Grandfather, have you heard of past lives and present lives? Do you believe it?"
The old man was stunned for a moment before nodding, "Grandfather went to visit a friend this time and met a master who told him many interesting stories, including stories about past lives and present lives."
Mu Yunge's eyes suddenly turned red. "Grandfather, if I said I'd died once, would you believe me?"
The old man looked at Mu Yunge seriously and asked, "Are you referring to the drowning in the palace?"
"No! Falling into the water in the palace was just an opportunity for me to come back. Grandfather, I've already died once, on the day of my wedding..."
With tears in her eyes, Mu Yunge told everything about the general's mansion and everything she had suffered in the past, including the prince's death to save her, without hiding a single thing.
"I told everyone it was just a dream. My grandfather is wise and is my backbone. I should be honest with you so that we can better protect the General's Mansion."
The old man sat there for a long while before wiping away his tears, "Ge'er, Grandfather believes in you.
You did very well after waking up from your coma. You are a brave and responsible child. Grandfather will stand with you to protect the General's Mansion and everyone else."
After that, he was silent for a moment. "The prince also had the same dream. Could it be that he has also returned from the past?"
"It seems not. He only dreamed of certain fragments, not the whole thing."
"Ge'er, what do you think of the prince?"
"He has made great military achievements, is brave and resourceful, and cares deeply about the people. If he were a king, he would be a wise ruler."
"You want to help the prince ascend to the supreme throne?"
"He has done me a favor, and after he ascends to power, my general's mansion will not become a stepping stone for others."
"Have you ever thought about being with the prince..."
"Grandfather, the prince and I have only met a few times, so I don't know why he came to save me.
Rumor has it that the prince is not interested in women.
After this incident, I am still scared and don’t want to think about marriage for the time being.
Furthermore, the prince is in a difficult situation, and our general's family is facing the danger of extinction. I only want revenge.
If this succeeds, the prince will ascend to the supreme throne, with three thousand beauties in his harem. I grew up in the military camp and am used to the freedom. I don't want to be confined to the harem for the rest of my life."
The old man didn't ask any more questions. He patted Mu Yunge's shoulder and said, "If you've died once, don't tell anyone again. Go pack up and let's hurry to the palace to see the emperor."
"I'll listen to Grandfather. No need to pack up. Let's go now. If we're late, something bad might happen."
The grandparents and grandchildren quickly got on the carriage.
After the carriage drove out of the General's Mansion and turned onto another street, Annan's voice rang out from outside the carriage: "Miss, Prince Lin is riding towards the General's Mansion, carrying a bramble on his back."
The old man looked at Mu Yunge and asked, "You said hello to the doorman when you left, were you just trying to prevent him from doing this?"
"Well, I want to buy us some more time, but I'm afraid it's a little difficult. They have spies outside the mansion."
"It doesn't matter!"
Royal study room.
The Great Yan Emperor was immersed in memorials.
Eunuch Yao, who was serving closely, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, General Mu and his granddaughter, Miss Mu, request an audience..."
