It was Miss Qiu who followed the team wearing a veil.

Mu Bo originally wanted to ride a horse, but because his lower body was swollen and itchy for unknown reasons, he had to abandon the horse and take a carriage, which happened to be the case with Miss Qiu.

Mu Bo's lower body was red, swollen, painful and itchy, making him physically and mentally exhausted. His temper became more and more irritable, and before noon he asked someone to find a place to rest.

They happened to be passing through Quan County, so they booked an inn and made corrections.

Mu Bo sat in the room in a bad mood. He couldn't walk around often now, otherwise the fabric would rub against his lower body, making him even more uncomfortable.

Chen Xi walked in carefully with the food in his hand. Because he was the direct contact with Zhao Qi, Mu Bai took him with him and prepared to return to Beijing together.

"Your Highness, please have some lunch! There is nothing good in this rural area, but the wild vegetables are delicious. Your Highness may want to try some!"

Knowing that Mu Bo had been in a bad temper recently, everyone who served him was very cautious, and Chen Xi was no exception.

He placed the food on the table one by one, helped Mu Bo sit down, and began to serve him.

Because he was in a bad mood, Mu Bo had no appetite for anything. He only ate two mouthfuls of rice and then put it down. However, a dish of cold wild vegetables suited his taste very well and he ate a lot of it.

"Is there any news from Zhao Qi?"

Ever since he learned that Qiang, Hu and Yidi had handed over letters of surrender to Mu Huan, Mu Bai asked Zhao Qi to send people to put pressure on the chiefs of the two tribes, hoping that they would change their minds and send the letters of surrender to him.

Everyone had left Rongcheng for two days, but there was no news from Zhao Qi.

Chen Xi thought for a moment and said, "General Zhao should have already been working on this, but I don't think it will go smoothly. After all, the letter of surrender is in the hands of the Third Prince. He will definitely not give up such a great achievement!"

"Asshole! He has disliked me since childhood and opposed me everywhere. Now he even wants to steal my credit! Mu Huan, you wait for me!"

Mu Bo roared in anger and helplessness, and could only vent his anger on the food on the table, sweeping all the bowls and plates to the ground.

A bowl of soup brushed against Chen Xi's clothes and fell, breaking into pieces, with the soup splattering all over his clothes.

But he didn't even frown. He just asked someone to clean up the mess on the ground and served Mu Bo another cup of tea.

"Your Highness, don't be angry. The Third Prince is overstepping his authority by doing this. It's you who came to the northwest this time. The Emperor knows this and will definitely not let him take the credit for your work!"

These words comforted Mu Bo. He took the tea and drank it in one gulp. The anger in his heart finally subsided.

"what?"

Suddenly, he heard Chen Xi beside you speak in confusion, looked up, and saw this man staring at the jade pendant on his body, he raised his eyebrows.

"Why? Do you like this jade pendant of mine?"

Mu Bo lightly picked up the jade pendant from his waist and waved it in front of Chen Xi.

Chen Xi smiled and shook his head, "How dare I covet your Highness's things? It just looks familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere before."

As he spoke, Chen Xi fell into deep thought, his brows furrowed.

Mu Bo became interested after hearing this, and sat up and asked, "Each of our princes has one jade pendant. Have you seen it on other princes?"

But Chen Xi shook his head again, frowning even more tightly, "I didn't see it with other princes. I saw this jade pendant at the bedside of General Lu!"

These words made Mu Bo's face condense, and a hint of doubt suddenly flashed in his sinister eyes. He asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure?"

"I am sure that I saw it five or six days ago. At that time, I saw someone enter General Lu's room. When I went in with him to check, I found it under his pillow."

"General Lu seems to treasure this jade pendant very much. He won't even give it to me even though I want to have a look at it."

Chen Xi's recollection ended here, but Mu Bo's expression changed again and again, with a gloomy light flashing in his eyes. He remained silent again and again, and finally hid all his emotions.

"Where is Lu Yu? Ask him to come see this prince."

At this moment, his tone of voice was very calm, as if the anger just now had never appeared in him.

Chen Xi looked at him with some concern, and said softly: "Your Highness, perhaps I have seen it wrong..."

"Call him here!"

Mu Bo's eyes suddenly became fierce, and his unquestionable aura rushed straight to Chen Xi. In the end, Chen Xi had no choice but to nod and went out to call Lu Yu in.

Mu Bo waved at Chen Xi. Chen Xi was silent for a moment, lowered his head, closed the door and went out.

Lu Yu didn't know his identity had been exposed yet, so he pretended to know nothing and looked at Mu Bo, asking, "Your Highness, did you ask me to come here for something?"

Mu Bo said nothing, just sat in the chair and stared at Lu Yu.

In fact, Lu Yu's appearance was not very similar to the emperor. Just like him, they both took after their mother, but there was always a part of his eyebrows, chin, or nose that was somewhat similar to the emperor.

Lu Yu looked three points more like the emperor than he did, especially in terms of face shape, which was exactly the same. This made Mu Bo's eyes flicker with fire.

He stood up and walked around Lu Yu twice, his mind constantly recalling when the emperor had an illegitimate child outside.

Lu Yu felt uneasy when Mu Bo looked at him. He couldn't help but wonder, was he looking at him like that because he had discovered his identity and wanted to kill him?

What should I do if he really wants to kill me?

The only solution Lu Yu could think of was to fight back!

He would take advantage of the fact that Mu Bo didn't know that he had guessed that he wanted to kill him and then kill him back. That would be when he had the greatest chance.

The worst expected outcome did not come, but it made him feel even more humiliated than that.

Mu Bai stood in front of Lu Yu, suddenly smiled, and then slapped him with all his strength, breaking the corner of his lip, and a trace of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.

Lu Yu was beaten and lay on the ground for a long time before he came to his senses. His ears were buzzing and he couldn't hear anything.

Mu Bo looked down at him like a dragon, looking down at the worm in the soil with disdain. He was so vulnerable that he could crush him completely with just one kick.

"get out!"

His cheeks were burning with pain, and Mu Bo's voice seemed to come from thousands of mountains, making Lu Yu unable to hear it clearly.

He lay on his back for a long time before the buzzing in his ears disappeared. He stared at Mu Bo with his eyes fixed, not daring to show the slightest dissatisfaction.

"Your Highness, did I do something wrong?"

We are both princes, so why should I let him beat and scold me like an animal?

Why?

At this time, Lu Yu's inner unwillingness reached its peak, and he wanted to rush up and kill Mu Bo regardless of everything.
