The whole family is reborn, and their five-year-old child becomes the darling of the entire capital.

"I don't know what my elder sister did that made Consort Yan want to hurt her." Mu Yunnan stared at her intently, as if looking at a corpse.

Seeing that she couldn't say a word, he chuckled, "Also, this shouldn't be the first time you've bullied my sister, right?"

"Taking advantage of her kind heart and compassion, you try every means to bully her! She doesn't want to argue with you. I can't."

"The phrase 'being at the mercy of others' does not exist in my life."

Startled, Yan Fei took a step back and quickly covered her face.

Mu Yunnan picked up the door bolt and smashed it against her.

Yan Fei stumbled from the impact and fell to the ground.

Mu Yunnan raised his hand again.

Yan Fei closed her eyes, covered her head, and shouted, "I'm sorry! I know I was wrong!"

For a long time, the bolt didn't land on her.

She endured the pain and carefully moved her hand down, revealing her terrified eyes.

But then, the thin and frail Mu Yunshang stood in front of Mu Yunnan, her hand tightly gripping the arm Mu Yunnan had raised, veins bulging, preventing her from moving an inch.

"No."

"Mu Yunnan, you can't."

"This is the palace, you can't."

This is different from before.

She beat up so many sons of powerful and wealthy people, and her mother personally cleaned up the mess for her.

This is the imperial palace.

Regardless of anything else, Consort Yan was the Emperor's concubine.

If she really did something to Consort Yan.

They couldn't protect her at all.

The Yan family will not let this go.

Yingluo put Xiaoyuxi down and patted her back.

Seeing her second sister's red eyes, Xiao Yuxi quickly ran forward and hugged her.

"Second sister, don't do this, Xixi is scared."

Mu Yunnan subconsciously loosened his grip.

Mu Yunshang released her hand and took a step back.

Mu Yunnan looked at Xiao Yuxi, who was holding him, threw away the door latch, and comforted her, "Xixi, don't be afraid."

"How could you be so unable to hold back? I told you, I'm fine."

“But you always do this. No matter what happens, you always say you’re fine. You only let others know you’re in trouble when things get really bad, when you can’t hide it anymore. How can I believe you’re okay?” Mu Yunnan’s eyes were slightly red as he tried his best to control his emotions.

Mu Yunshang lowered her eyes, looked at her hands wrapped in a handkerchief, and shook her head. "I just don't want to cause any trouble."

"Who said it was causing trouble?" Mu Yunnan interrupted her anxiously.

"The Empress Dowager has arrived."

Mu Yunshang's pupils contracted sharply, and she quickly grabbed Mu Yunnan, turning around to protect her.

The Empress Dowager looked at the mess in the room, then glanced at Consort Yan, who was being helped up by her maid, Mu Yunshang, who was pale-faced, Mu Yunnan, who was standing behind Mu Yunshang in his official robes, and a little maid she had never seen before standing in front of her.

The atmosphere was eerily silent.

She rushed over as soon as she heard the news.

She was extremely satisfied with her daughter-in-law, Mu Yunshang.

She was well-behaved, not jealous, filial, and sensible, and managed the affairs of the palace in an orderly manner.

She was the perfect empress.

Yan Fei also knew that she was spoiled by her family. The eldest child and the youngest child in the Yan family, who was only a few years old, had the same temperament as that princess. They were spoiled and prone to causing trouble everywhere.

However, he is not inherently bad.

As for Mu Yunnan.

She was the Protector General of the Moon Kingdom, an undefeated general who won more than a dozen battles in a row.

It just so happens that these three people got together and caused this kind of trouble.

Mu Yunshang immediately knelt down, "This matter is entirely my fault, and has nothing to do with my younger sister. I beg the Empress Dowager not to punish my younger sister. My younger sister has been on the border for several years. The environment on the border is harsh and there are no rules there. She has only just returned to the capital to recuperate from her old illness and has not yet had time to learn the rules of the capital. Please forgive me, Empress Dowager."

The implication was that my sister had fought so many battles for the Yue Kingdom; even if she hadn't achieved great merit, she had certainly put in a lot of hard work, and therefore shouldn't be punished.

Mu Yunnan knelt down immediately, "This is my fault alone, it has nothing to do with the Empress. I simply couldn't stand her, so I came to beat her up on purpose, without any reason. Empress Dowager, please punish me."

These two words completely shut down what the Empress Dowager hadn't said.

"Yan Fei, what do you think?"

Consort Yan trembled, looked at her sisters beside her, and then at the Empress Dowager's face, which revealed nothing. She had no idea what to say.

"Since Consort Yan does not wish to speak, let this matter be dropped. She may be spared the death penalty, but she will not escape punishment. General Mu entered the palace, damaged palace property, and beat the concubines; he shall be given twenty strokes of the cane. The Empress has neglected her duties in managing the harem; she shall be fined one month's salary. Consort Yan has caused trouble; she shall be fined three months' salary."

No sooner had the Empress Dowager finished speaking than the Emperor's voice rang out from the courtyard.

"General Mu was wounded on the battlefield; twenty strokes of the cane are absolutely out of the question." The Emperor rushed over upon hearing the news.

Upon entering the room, their gaze immediately fell upon Yunnan, scanning him from head to toe to make sure he was unharmed before letting out a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, matters concerning the harem..."

“Mother, General Mu belongs to the previous dynasty, not the inner palace. I cannot allow my subject to feel disheartened. General Mu is wholeheartedly devoted to the country and its people. Now that his health has begun to improve, he came to the inner palace to see his elder sister, only to find her being bullied by others. Naturally, he was unable to control his emotions for a moment. This is understandable. Moreover, General Mu did not cause any major trouble.”

"This palace gate has not been repaired for a long time, which caused General Mu to fall to the ground before he could even kick it. This is not General Mu's fault. Afterwards, the people of the Imperial Household Department will reinforce all the palace gates."

"As for beating the concubines, Your Majesty may not have witnessed General Mu's heroic figure on the battlefield, where he could kill an enemy with a single punch, while Consort Yan only suffered minor injuries. This is enough to show that General Mu had no intention of beating her. I urge Your Majesty to withdraw the decree."

The Empress Dowager turned her head, looked at him, then at Mu Yunnan kneeling, and then back at her somewhat unfamiliar son.

"You actually care so much about your subjects?"

"After all, the rise and fall of a nation cannot be accomplished by me alone."

The Empress Dowager nodded. "You are the Emperor, you have the final say."

Mu Yunnan looked at the Emperor with some confusion. He was actually pleading for her?

why?

In their past lives, at this time, they shouldn't have had any interaction, right?

And how did they get here so quickly?

Mu Yunnan pondered for a long time before looking at his gentle and beautiful older sister.

Sure enough, the emperor fell in love with his sister at this time.

He must not want to upset his sister, which is why he rushed to help her and rescued her along the way.

Until the Empress Dowager passed away.

Mu Yunshang stood up straight, trembling, and reached out to support her younger sister.

The taut string suddenly relaxed.

Fortunately, she had sent a servant to inform the Emperor that Yunnan was there; otherwise, if Yunnan had really thought she had been punished, she feared she would never have been able to forgive herself.

Mu Yunshang felt dizzy and held Yunnan's hand tightly. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and fell into Yunnan's arms.
