Farewell Flower Festival

When Emperor Mu came over, he first asked about Mu Tianchen's health, and Mu Tianchen replied that he was much better. Emperor Mu told him to have a good rest, took Mu Tianling away, and said he had something to ask him.

Mu Tianyuan looked at Mu Tianling's back with a gloating look, thinking that he would definitely be scolded.

When leaving the palace, Mu Tianling happened to meet Mu Tianqi on the road. Both of them brought only one guard. Feiyu and Zheng Huai, Qianfeng and Zhou Li were all recovering from their injuries.

"What did the emperor ask my fourth brother?" Mu Tianqi asked.

Mu Tianling replied: "Father and Second Brother both want to know why Qianfeng appeared there."

"Then what did fourth brother tell father?" Mu Tianqi asked.

Mu Tianling said: "What this minister said is the same as what Second Brother heard before."

Mu Tianqi smiled slightly and said, "I don't think my fourth brother would lie to my father."

At this time, a palace servant led Zhao Zhong over. When Mu Tianling saw Zhao Zhong, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

When Zhao Zhong came over to pay his respects to the two, Mu Tianqi exchanged a few words with him, "My Lord, is there any urgent matter for you to come to the palace at this time?" Zhao Zhong replied, "I heard that the Third Prince was injured, so I came to visit him." He then asked with concern, "I wonder how the Third Prince's injury is, is it serious?" Mu Tianqi said, "The Third Brother is fine now, I made you worried." Zhao Zhong said with relief, "I'm glad that the Third Prince is okay." He then said, "I heard that someone set a trap for the Third Prince and wanted to kill him?"

Mu Tianling said meaningfully: "My Lord, you know it very well. So, my Lord, why don't you tell me who set up the trap to kill my Third Brother?"

Zhao Zhong said with some embarrassment: "I can't guess it." He added, "The Third Prince has always been clean and has never offended anyone. I really can't think of anyone who would hold a grudge against the Third Prince." After saying goodbye to the two of them, he bowed and followed the palace servant who led the way.

Mu Tianling glanced at Zhao Zhong's back, and a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.

"Fourth brother, still can't let go of what happened back then?" Mu Tianqi asked.

Mu Tianling restrained his emotions and smiled faintly: "I don't remember much about the past. I was still young at that time and I can't remember anything."

Mu Tianqi said, "I still remember that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the best to me when we were young." Before he could finish his words, Mu Tianling said, "It's getting late. I have something else to do. I'll catch up with you another day, brother." After saying that, he left first. When he turned around, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

After returning home, Mu Tianling first asked Eunuch Wu what the doctor said. Eunuch Wu said that it was nothing serious and told him not to worry. This morning during breakfast, Chao Yan had no appetite and looked not very energetic. She spoke in a muffled voice, as if she had caught a cold.

Chaoyan lay on the bed with her head resting in her arms and her eyes closed. A hand reached out and touched her forehead. She opened her eyes and saw Mu Tianling sitting beside the bed. She moved closer to his arms, as if she thought of something, and moved further inward away from him, for fear of passing on the cold to him.

"Your Highness, you should go to the study and sleep for the next two days." Chao Yan covered his head with the quilt, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

Mu Tianling took out a bag of hawthorn cake from his arms, saying that it was appetizing and asked her to eat a piece. She wrapped herself in the quilt and moved forward in the manner of a caterpillar, which made Mu Tianling a little amused. He picked up a piece of hawthorn cake and handed it to her, asking her if she felt better. Chaoyan nodded.

At this time, Amber came in with a bowl of medicine. Mu Tianling took the bowl and wanted to feed Chaoyan the medicine. He scooped up a spoonful of medicine and blew it gently. Chaoyan looked at his careful and considerate appearance and felt that it would be a waste if she refused again, so she stuck her head out from under the quilt and drank the medicine obediently, not complaining about the bitterness.

Feicui is looking after Qianfeng.

After surviving a night, Qianfeng was out of danger, but he was still not awake. However, his pulse had stabilized a lot.

In the afternoon, when Qianfeng woke up, the first thing he saw was Feicui standing by the bed. He thought it was his hallucination and stretched out his hand as if he wanted to touch it to see if it was real or not. Feicui held his hand and he realized it was not his hallucination.

"I... am still alive?" Qianfeng's voice was a little hoarse and sounded a little labored.

Jade nodded, tears seemed to flash in her eyes, and said with a smile, "It's okay now."

Qianfeng wanted to get up, but Feicui held his shoulders and told him to have a good rest. Qianfeng said that he had something important to report to Mu Tianling, but Feicui told him to lie down and she would go over.

Afterwards, Mu Tianling brought Eunuch Wu and Fei Yu over, and when they saw Qian Feng woke up, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Qianfeng reported an important clue to Mu Tianling, saying that Zhou Hua was still alive.

Previously, Zhou Hua and Qian Feng were taken to the Inner Court together. Later, Qian Feng was released and Zhou Hua was exiled. It was said that he was assassinated on the way to exile and lost his life.

But Qianfeng recognized Zhou Hua among the group of killers, and the other party led him away and told him something.

Mu Tianling was a little surprised to hear Zhou Hua's true identity.

Qianfeng was also surprised when he heard it, but the opponent took advantage of his distraction to attack him. The two started fighting again, but the opponent avoided his vital points several times when attacking, as if he didn't want to be his enemy.

Afterwards, Qian Feng saw that Mu Tianchen and Lu Ping were in a tough fight, so he left Zhou Hua and went to rescue them. Zhou Hua did not show up again, as if he had hidden himself.

When Mu Tianchen was besieged by the last two killers, a meteor dart shot from the dark and killed one of the killers. While the other killer was distracted, Mu Tianchen pierced the opponent's chest with a sword and killed him with one blow.

After dealing with the last killer, Mu Tianchen still supported himself with the sword, knowing that there was still someone hiding in the dark.

Qianfeng and Lu Ping had already fallen to the ground.

But Zhou Hua did not give the three of them the final blow, otherwise they would have been dead by the time they were found.

After telling the story, Qianfeng looked a little tired.

Mu Tianling asked him to have a good rest. After coming out of the room, Mu Tianling asked Eunuch Wu to investigate Zhou Hua and find out whether his identity was true or false.

……

When Mu Tianling came back, Chaoyan asked about Qianfeng. Mu Tianling said that he was much better now. He asked her when she knew about Feicui and Qianfeng. Chaoyan asked him if he didn't notice it on weekdays.

Mu Tianling really hadn't paid attention to it, and asked about Amber and Feiyu again. Chaoyan said that the two of them hadn't developed to that stage yet, so just let nature take its course.

At night, Mu Tianling wanted to stay and look after Chaoyan, but she firmly disagreed and protested by covering her head with the quilt. Mu Tianling was afraid that she would get bored, so he went to the study to sleep.

After sweating at night, Chao Yan woke up feeling much more relaxed and her appetite improved.

During breakfast, Mu Tianling saw Chaoyan eating with relish and his mood also improved. He asked her what else she wanted to eat so he could bring it to her when he came back. Chaoyan said she wanted to eat the braised pork elbow from Zhenxiulou, and Mu Tianling agreed lovingly.
