Chen Mu and Chen Qingyun heard that and felt bored, so they quickly ate and went to their own rooms to rest.

Chen Qingyun escorted her to the door of the guest room and asked hesitantly, "Mu Mu Mu, why are you so interested in the North King Palace?"

Although he did not know the reason, he had seen the strange expression on Chen Mu Mu's face when he heard about the matters in the North King Palace.

Chen Mu Mu opened the door to the room and paused for a moment before casting a deep glance at Chen Qingyun, "There are some things that will not benefit you in the least now."

Or was he too weak?

The corner of Chen Qingyun's mouth twitched: "Being covered in bones is even less beneficial to me. In any case, there will always be a chance of death.

"But I don't want to die yet." Chen Mu Mu shook his head, "I still have many things I have yet to accomplish. I don't wish to be implicated by you."

Chen Qingyun, "..." A deep sense of powerlessness.

Seeing the expression on his face, Chen Mu laughed lightly. "Don't be so conflicted, it's not that serious. It's just that the time isn't right yet, and isn't suitable for you to know about it yet. But if you really want to know, you'll know one day. "

Since Chen Mu Mu had said it like that, Chen Qingyun could only give up.

She then turned her gaze onto Chen Mu Mu Mu as she solemnly stated, "There will be a day when you won't be able to hide any secrets from me."

How many realms higher would that be?

Chen Mu's lips were puckered in a deep meaning as he smiled, "I shall wait and see."

Chen Qingyun snorted, pushed open the door and ignored her.

Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't seem to mind as he pushed open the door and entered the room. After locking the door from the inside, his face froze.

Even if the Madam Li was like this to her, she would still unconsciously pay attention to their matters, it was just that this attention … To them, this was something that could not be said for them. In fact, it might even cause them to be obstructed?

However, it didn't matter to her whether they lived or died, since it had nothing to do with her.

They could have gone through trials and tribulations together, yet they had insisted on pushing her away. Then, how much suffering had they suffered, what did it have to do with her?

It wasn't as if she had nothing to do after eating so she just randomly gave others something to worry about.

There was a candle flame in the room. She was not used to sleeping early, so she took out the herbs in her bag and took some simple healing and self-defense medicine.

In the ancient world where tigers hid dragons, she did not know how to use qinggong, but she did not have any internal energy. In the ancient world where tigers hid dragons, she did not know how to use qinggong, but she did not have any internal energy.

She had a feeling that something big was going to happen if she stayed in the capital.

As he was busy with the medicinal herbs, a sudden gust of wind blew past the open window, causing the candle on the table to sway back and forth, almost extinguishing it.

Chen Mu Mu frowned as he covered the candle flame with the lampshade. He then closed the window halfway before turning around and returning.

Before she could return to her seat, she saw a grey-clothed person standing in a dark corner of the room. The feeling of presence was too low, and if it weren't for the candle flame, she would have been keenly aware of the danger.

However, if she did, she couldn't pretend that she didn't see anything. After all, outsiders had to be chased away, otherwise how could she sleep?

Chen Mu pursed his lips and raised his hand to greet him. "You're looking for me?"

The grey-clothed person walked out from a corner, staring at her with a strange expression. "Why aren't you afraid?"

This was the first time he had seen such a calm little girl, and he was not the least bit afraid that he would harm her.

How could she be so calm when it was night and he had snuck into her room?

There must be something behind this anomaly. The grey robed man suddenly became vigilant.

"Why should I be afraid?" Chen Mu Mu blinked his eyes as he looked at him, a little speechless. "You and I have no grudges and no grudges. Furthermore, I'm still a little girl, you wouldn't kill me for no reason at all, right?"

It was true, but it wasn't scary at all. It was a little strange.

The man in gray stared at her, his eyes cold and deep. "Are you really that confident?"

Although he stood there motionlessly, his eyes seemed to be able to kill. At a glance, it was as if he was a mountain pressing down on someone, as if a sword was pressing down on their throats, causing them to be unable to breathe for a moment.

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, and then let out a chuckle. "Why are you scaring me like that? I already said that I'm still a child, so you have to take responsibility for scaring me."

The killing intent from his body immediately turned into nothingness. Looking at the young girl's smiling face, the grey robed man was somewhat speechless. "I've never seen such a bold child like you."

He paused, "I'm not a good person. I even killed the children."

"Then kill him." Chen Mu stood in front of him, his large eyes staring fixedly at him. "I promise I won't retaliate."

The fish on the chopping board had run under the knife. Should he chop it or not?

The corner of the grey robed man's mouth twitched. He coughed uncomfortably twice. "I won't kill you."

"That's to scare me." Chen Mu Mu Mu shook his head, "Uncle, how old are you to actually scare a child like me?"

The grey-clothed man was speechless. He didn't seem to think that the person he was looking for would be this kind of person. After a short silence, he said: "I'm sorry."

"I accept." Chen Mu Mu Mu was stunned for a moment before the smile on his face widened, "Then tell me, why are you looking for me?"

He originally thought that this gray-clothed man would be difficult to deal with and had even prepared his defenses. He didn't think that this man would be so easy to get along with.

If she knew how to apologize, that meant that this person wasn't too bad of a person. In fact, if he wanted to harm her, he didn't even need to apologize to her. He could just make a move.

Because of this sentence, Chen Mu Mu Mu's impression of this man changed significantly, and his attitude unconsciously eased a bit.

The gray-clothed man looked at her with some hesitation. "You knew I'd come back to find you?"

Otherwise, how could he be so calm?

Chen Mu Mu shook his head, "This is the first time I've met you, and I don't even know you. How did you know that you would look for me?"

"You're lying." The grey robed man said.

His tone was so firm that Chen Mu couldn't find the words to refute it.

However, just now, we were eating downstairs, and when we heard that someone was talking about the matter of the North King Palace, they recognized you, so they knew that you were a member of the North King Palace. "

The grey robed man's expression was cold and solemn. His face was covered with a thin layer of ice. "Oh, who is talking about the Prince's Mansion?"

The air in the room instantly dropped by several degrees. Chen Mu Mu Mu raised his head and looked at the ice-cold expression on the grey robed man's face. He didn't doubt that this man would be able to pull their tongues out of their chests.

In the eyes of those with power and influence, human lives were as worthless as grass.

But what did it have to do with her?

Chen Mu Mu shrugged. "I don't know. I just arrived at the capital today, so I don't know anyone here."

The grey robed man furrowed his brows, "Why do you have to protect them?"

"I don't know him from the start. Just cover him up." "If you don't believe me, then go investigate for yourself. I don't know any of them and I don't know them, so why should I shield them? But I don't know you, so just say whatever you want to say.

The grey robed man's face twitched. It was obvious that she had defeated him. After being mute for a while, he said, "Alright, I won't mention those people. I came here today to ask you a few questions."

Chen Mu's eyes flickered as a smile appeared on his face. "Go ahead, ask, I will answer anything I know."

As for the truth in his words, it all depended on how he guessed it himself.

She agreed readily, but the grey robed man was somewhat conflicted. After a moment of silence, he said: "This young lady, you are completely different from what I imagined. No wonder you were able to create such a great reputation at such a young age in Linzhou."

Reputation? Wasn't it a disaster that could be stirred up?

But he said that Linzhou …

Chen Mu smirked. "You did check on me."

So he came to her not blindly and randomly, but with a different purpose.

The grey robed man declined to comment and went straight to the point. "Where is the Crown Prince now?"

"Crown Prince?" Chen Mu's eyes glimmered. "Although I was born in the countryside and was ignorant and ill-informed, I have still heard about the matter of your son, the son of the North King Palace, being pushed down to his death by someone else. A dead person, asking me where he is, how do I know? I already told you, this is my first time entering Beijing. "

The grey robed man's expression turned ugly: "Little girl, I see that you are still young and do not care about everything you say, but don't speak ill of the North King Palace, if the Duke hears about it, I will not forgive you."

North King won't forgive her? Even if he were to spare her, she might not spare such a scum.

"I'm just speaking the truth, that's all. I really don't know what your son is like."

"Don't play dumb." The gray-clothed man was a bit speechless, "Chu Xuran is just the prince's youngest son, he only took up the title of Crown Prince because his eldest son is not by his side. Now that the eldest son has found him again, the eldest son is naturally the son of the Duke."

Indeed, the reason he came back to find Lu Jinfeng was to continue the Joss Flame.

Chen Mu scoffed, "Isn't it because the eldest son isn't by his side? If he did something like that, how would he have the face to acknowledge his eldest son? "

If Chu Xuran did not die suddenly, North King probably would not have realized that he had a son outside.

No, the son outside might sound like an illegitimate child, but Lu Jinfeng's mother was once his legal wife.

It was because the North King carried Mo Qin and harmed the Mo family that Lu Jinfeng's existence became an illegitimate child.

The grey robed man's expression turned even uglier. "Little girl, you can't slander our prince."

"I slander him? Was it wrong of him to say that he was ashamed to recognize his eldest son? Isn't he ashamed of his eldest son? " Chen Mu Mu asked.

At least Lu Jinfeng had been with her for a period of time, she would naturally avenge him when a justice had fallen in front of her.

After a while, he faintly sighed and said, "All these years, the prince has indeed treated Eldest Young Master shamelessly, so he sent me out this time to bring Eldest Young Master back to the clan and compensate you for all these years' worth of debt."
