After Yan Xu left, Mu Haolin felt that the fear in his heart had become even more intense. Could it be that Ninth Prince really did not die, or that Yan Xu was actually mistaken?

Yan Xu was originally a travelling ranger in the martial arts world, but he coincidentally became Mu Haolin's secret guard. Although it was a secret guard, he only returned to the palace twice in so many years.

Mu Haolin drank all of the cold tea in the cup in one gulp, but he still felt that the fire in his heart was extremely scorching. It was to the point that Mu Haolin now wanted to jump into the icy cold water in order to dispel the feeling in his heart and body.

"Xiao Shunzi."

Xiao Shunzi pushed open the door and ran in with a thud, only to discover that Mu Haolin was actually sweating profusely. He did not know the reason why he opened his mouth and said in fear, "Your majesty, what happened, this servant is going to call the imperial physician right now."

Mu Haolin felt that this little eunuch might really not have enough intelligence, and no matter how he put the little eunuch by his side, Mu Haolin didn't feel like he had any intention of growing, but it didn't matter either. Mu Haolin felt that he had never met a true person in his entire life, could it be that this Xiao Shunzi was an incomparably real person?

"Come back here."

"Yes."

"I'm fine. Go and prepare for me. I need to bathe and change. Remember to lower the water temperature a bit."

Xiao Shunzi seemed to want to choke out a sentence about how cold the weather was, but in the end, he did not say anything and turned to prepare these things the Emperor had said.

Che Er sighed, wiping the sweat off her forehead. Che Er was about to come back, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely tense, but Mu Haolin felt a kind of loneliness that he had never felt before. This kind of feeling made Mu Haolin feel extremely afraid, to the point where he did not know what words to describe it in, but this kind of feeling truly existed.

Although Xiao Shunzi was a little stupid, his hands and feet were nimble, and very quickly everything was done. Mu Haolin touched the temperature of the water, and helplessly looked at Xiao Shunzi, to no avail. In the end, even Xiao Shunzi did not make him any water of low temperature, so Xiao Shunzi felt that Mu Haolin would blame him, and so he ended up kneeling down, causing Mu Haolin to not know whether to laugh or cry.

On the second day, Mu Haolin found out that Mu Beiche had returned and immediately summoned him.

It had been a long time since Mu Beiche last saw him, and he had almost resolved the plague. He should indeed report the situation to the royal father, but Mu Beiche had no doubt about it.

Xiao Shunzi had been waiting outside the whole time. When he saw Mu Beiche, he was very happy and immediately bowed, "Your Highness, you've finally come. Your majesty has been waiting for a long time."

Mu Beiche nodded his head, he was prepared to go in first, but Xiao Shunzi hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth, "Recently the Emperor's mood isn't too good, if it's convenient for you, why don't you advise the Emperor?"

Mu Beiche also knew that the eunuch his father left in the palace right now was a living treasure, hence he nodded his head and did not reject him. Yun Zhan also stood outside, waiting for Mu Beiche to come out.

When Mu Beiche entered, he did not see Mu Haolin, but halfway through, he saw that Mu Haolin was actually paying respects to Buddha, and seeing Mu Haolin kneeling, Mu Beiche also knelt beside Mu Haolin, quietly waiting for Mu Haolin to finish paying his respects, only then did he help Mu Haolin to stand up.

"Bei Che, you're finally back."

"The plague this time was indeed severe, but the childrens was lucky enough to succeed in solving the problem."

"royal father already knows. Che Er has truly grown up and the missions given by royal father can be completed successfully. royal father is very pleased."

"Actually, the plague still had to be thanks to a female Divine Doctor that Che Er met in the public area. It was all thanks to her that I was able to successfully stop the plague."

"Oh? What female Divine Doctor? "

It's a very powerful woman, called Bai Yixuan. She has a formula that can cure smallpox, I took it back this time, and I am going to give it to the Taiyuan Hospital as a gift for the doctors to study it. Oh right, there is also a formula that can help Bai Yixuan prevent smallpox, and after drinking it, she won't have smallpox.

Mu Haolin also felt that he had never heard of this, and was extremely curious, "That woman is truly powerful, why did she not bring him to the capital with her? Taiyuan Hospital needs such a talent, it doesn't matter even if she is a woman."

Mu Beiche was extremely happy. He had always known that his father did not have this kind of common sense, but it was a pity that Bai Yixuan did not come back with him.

"That lady did not intend to go to the capital, so the childrens did not force her."

Mu Haolin was also a very knowledgeable person, "Since that's the case, there's no need to force it, but I still have to thank this lady.

"childrens will first thank royal father on behalf of Bai Yixuan."

"You seem very interested in this girl?"

Mu Beiche laughed a little embarrassedly, "Actually no, it's mainly because this lady is a little different from the others, that's why I'm acting like this."

Mu Haolin did not continue to ponder over this question, but said, "royal father heard that you went to Bai Yi Town a while ago to look for Ye Fan?"

All these years, knew that he had always been looking for Mu Yefan, and was extremely concerned about it, so Mu Beiche did not suspect anything as he nodded, "Indeed, I heard that my cousin might be at that place a while back, so I went to look."

"Did you find it?"

Mu Beiche thought about how Mu Yefan said that he did not want to be disturbed, so he paused for a moment and shook his head, "Unfortunately, I was unable to find childrens, and am disappointed in father."

"Can't you find it?"

Mu Beiche didn't notice in the slightest the change in expression on his father's face. He thought that Mu Haolin was just disappointed and felt that it was very wrong for him to lie to his father.

"royal father, this childrens believes that my cousin is currently in a place where he can live a good life. Therefore, royal father need not worry."

It was precisely because he knew that Mu Yefan might still be alive, that Mu Haolin would still have nightmares about him from time to time. It was a pity that Mu Beiche did not understand these things, and that Mu Haolin could not even tell him about them.

In the end, Mu Haolin still pretended to be gratified and nodded his head, "I hope that's the case.

"royal father, I heard that you've been in a bad mood lately?"

"Did you hear it from Xiao Shunzi?" Mu Haolin understood.

Mu Beiche laughed embarrassedly, then sighed: "That child Xiao Shunzi has always been lacking in tendons, do you really believe what he says?"

By the time Mu Beiche got off the stage, Mu Haolin's expression had completely changed. Xiao Shunzi, who had just came in, didn't know what was going on, because His Royal Highness the Prince of Bravehearts's mood seemed to be pretty good.

Just when Xiao Shunzi was in a daze, Mu Haolin finally opened his mouth, "Xiao Shunzi, you are not allowed to tell anyone about our emotions in the future, even the His Royal Highness the Prince of Bravehearts is not allowed to do it, do you understand?"

Xiao Shunzi immediately nodded, and knelt down in fear. Mu Haolin sighed, then allowed him to stand up, "Xiao Shunzi, tell us something, am I really that scary?"

Xiao Shunzi hurriedly nodded her head before he shook it again. "It's this servant who is too timid. Your Majesty, you're extremely …"

"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you anymore. If you cry at my place later on, I won't have the energy to coax you."

"No way, Xiao Shunzi won't cry."

"Xiao Shunzi, I ask you, if I do something wrong and find out that there's no other way, what should I do?"

"Did you do something wrong?" Xiao Shunzi seemed to be muttering to himself, "If I did wrong, why didn't I go and apologize?"

"That's because there are many things that can't be resolved by being sorry. The things that can be done wrong involve countless lives, and there is also blood. It is simply a death match. It can't be resolved so peacefully."

He thought about it for a long time before finally raising his head and saying, "Your Majesty, this question is too difficult. However, this servant feels that since I have already known that I was wrong, at the very least I have to show it in my actions, even if there is nothing I can do to save it, I should at least give the impression that I know that I was wrong and am trying my best to restore it. I think that this might help me gain some sort of understanding."

"Is what you're thinking really simple? No one in this world wants to pay the price for doing something wrong."

"Then... That would be the fault of the person who did the wrong thing. "

"Did you do anything wrong?"

Xiao Shunzi once again fell into deep thought, and only spoke last half a day, "This servant didn't know when to stop and break my mother's clothes pole when I was young, and treated it as my mother chasing after me and beating me up for the entire day. Unfortunately, my mother is already dead, and I will never get the chance to hit me again."

Mu Haolin didn't even know why he had to answer such a profound question to this foolish young eunuch. In the end, Mu Haolin felt that he was too tired and didn't want to continue listening to this topic. He waved his hand and chased Xiao Shunzi out, causing the candle flame in the room to move again.

Yan Xu looked at Mu Haolin in amusement, thinking that this person was really interesting. Mu Haolin was a little angry, "When did you come?"

"When His Majesty and this young eunuch are having a heart-to-heart discussion, Your Majesty, please be at ease. I will absolutely not speak of this matter to anyone, and I will also keep it a secret."

Mu Haolin ignored him.

"Does the Emperor have any mission for me?"

"We feel that Mu Yefan is definitely still alive right now. I made a mistake in this matter, and am not prepared to bear the consequences, so the only thing I can do is to cut off all of these calamities. Perhaps this way, I can be at ease."

Yan Xu nodded his head in agreement, "Yes, what that young eunuch said just now were all stupid methods. Our king is a smart guy, why would he choose that way?"

"Yan Xu, find Mu Yefan and kill him."

Yan Xu smiled slightly, "Subordinate will follow your orders."
