The first thing Song Xuan Wang did was pay respects to Mu Haolin, who was sitting in a meditative pose, and asked as if nothing had happened, "Song Xuan Wang, how did you find the time to come to my place?"

Song Xuan Wang braced himself and said, "This old subject heard that the empress dowager invited this old official's granddaughter to her empress dowager's palace. This old subject heard that the empress dowager invited this old subject's granddaughter to her palace, and this old subject's granddaughter was spoiled by this old subject.

Mu Haolin looked at Xiao Shunzi and asked, "Is there such a thing? "Since when did the empress dowager invite Ling Yi over? We don't even know about this, but she's been ill recently. She's probably lacking a few children who can talk with the empress dowager. This Ling Yi has a lively personality, so she can talk with the empress dowager, don't you think?"

Song Xuan Wang's face changed, but Mu Haolin obviously didn't want to say it out loud, so he had no choice but to continue playing dumb, "This old official is worried that this old official's granddaughter might offend the empress dowager, that's why …"

"It won't be, the empress dowager is very lenient, King Xuan, you're old, and I really want to thank you for many things that happened back then. If it wasn't for you, I might not have been able to succeed in a lot of things, but now you're old, like I am old too, so you want to make a crown prince to help me share my worries. King Xuan, you should put down those useless things now, right?"

After sending off the Song Xuan Wang, Mu Haolin sat in place without moving. Xiao Shunzi asked worriedly, "Your majesty, are we just going to leave it like this? Don't tell me the Song Xuan Wang won't continue pestering us?"

As for Song Lingyi, we will stay with the empress dowager for a while. We can see that the little girl, Bai Yixuan, has a vengeful personality, and she really loves Ye Fan, so I presume that Song Lingyi would definitely take revenge on her. "Not happy."

Xiao Shunzi smiled, it was true that Bai Yixuan's fighting strength could not be compared to ordinary people, especially when facing against Mu Yefan's situation. After Mu Haolin truly understood Bai Yixuan, he felt that this little girl would probably be a person who would have an important impact on him for the rest of her life, but he did not know if that was good or bad.

Before Xiao Shunzi could continue speaking, Imperial Consort Zhu suddenly transmitted his greetings to him. Mu Haolin frowned, even if he did not care about the matters in the harem, Zhu Xinci had indeed been skipping merrily recently, and did not know why his mother would be so hard to deal with a child like Mu Beiche.

Xiao Shunzi understood the look in Mu Haolin's eyes and obediently stood to the side. That Zhu Xinci did indeed have a bit of an intention to not care about anything, and directly knelt down to question the Emperor, "Chenqie came here today to ask one thing of Your Majesty."

"Look at how you're dressed, and how you dare to come to the hall. Even if you're not doing it for yourself, aren't you thinking about Che Er?"

"Chenqie came here specifically to ask the emperor for Che Er's sake. Do you still remember what you said to the Chenqie before?"

"What are you trying to say?"

"You promised Chenqie that you would make Che Er your crown prince in the future, but now, is the emperor preparing to go back on his word?"

"Can you, a woman, decide on my matters?"

"Shouldn't the emperor keep his words?"

"Zhu Xinci, pay attention when you speak to us. After so many years, is it bad for us to treat you well?"

"You are doing this for the Chenqie, but when He Ling's child came back, you immediately changed. You must take everything away from him."

"Even if I want to take it away, it's still my business, it has nothing to do with you, hurry up and leave, don't let others see you as a joke, I really don't understand, why do you have to be so persistent despite how thorough Bei Che is? For the sake of Bei Che, we will forgive you this time, but you better think it over when you speak in the future. Otherwise, it is very likely that not only will you push yourself towards destruction, you will also implicate Mu Beiche. "

Seeing Zhu Xinci leave disheartened, Mu Haolin let out a heavy sigh, "If only she was as sensible as Bei Che. I have been too indulgent towards her, which led to her daring to speak to me like this today, truly hateful."

"As long as His Royal Highness the Prince of Bravehearts can understand the Emperor, that is enough. Don't think too much about the rest of the matters, Your Majesty."

"We also know that we have let down Bei Che, but we are even more sorry for that one wrong thought back then. This matter must be settled. This throne must belong to Ye Fan."

After returning to the Duke Palaces, Mu Yefan felt that everything that had happened today was a little unexpected. He didn't know how deep his mother's and Mu Haolin's love for him had reached in the past, and why Mu Haolin had to do so many things for him, could it be that it was all because of his guilt towards his mother?

Everyone in the Duke Palaces had long received the news, and after they saw Mu Yefan, they all changed their words, "His royal highness the prince."

Mu Yefan looked up at Chu Lun and asked, "Has anyone been here before?"

"No one has come, is the His royal highness the prince waiting for someone?"

Mu Yefan frowned, thinking back to when he was in the imperial court, when Song Xuan Wang looked at him meaningfully. What did he mean, what did he know, and why did people suddenly reveal his identity, then would Mu Haolin suspect him?

After sitting in the hut for a while, Chu Lun came in to inform them, "His royal highness the prince, Song Xuan Wang is here."

"He …" Mu Yefan frowned, "Let him in."

Mu Yefan sat on the seat and slowly rubbed his temples. Song Xuan Wang was dressed in a black cloak and his footsteps were hurried.

"Song Xuan Wang, what are you doing?"

"The current His royal highness the prince is different from the past. This old subject naturally needs to pay attention to my identity."

"Oh?" Mu Yefan laughed, "You don't need to make such a big bow, just tell me what it is that you want me to do."

"Is His Highness really His Majesty's son and son?"

"The royal father has already established his reputation on this matter. I wonder if Duke Xuan has any other opinions to voice, you can just go and tell the royal father about them."

"His royal highness the prince, I came to find you for a matter. I hope that you can help me."

"Duke Xuan, please say it. If This King is able to do it, you can consider it."

"I don't know the reason why the Emperor is so protective of the His royal highness the prince."

"Of course it's because royal father felt that he had let down my mother."

"This old official believes that even His royal highness the prince would not believe me."

"Didn't you ask This King to help you out? If you didn't tell me, This King would have sent you off already."

"His royal highness the prince knows Ling Yi after all. Ling Yi is indeed a little excessive normally, but I hope that His royal highness the prince can help me plead with the Emperor."

"What happened to Miss Song?"

"The emperor brought Lingyi to the palace in the name of the empress dowager. I know Lingyi's personality, I'm afraid she'll suffer grievances in the palace."

This King thinks that you might not understand your granddaughter, but she has always been someone who isn't easy to deal with, the possibility of her suffering a loss in the palace shouldn't be high. Furthermore, Royal Grandmother has recently gotten sick and needs someone to accompany her, if Miss Song can go, Duke Xuan, shouldn't you be happy?

"His royal highness the prince, I won't beat around the bush, this is indeed my doing, I wanted to take you down, but I understand now, only you are able to help me, if you are willing to help me, I, Song Xuan, will follow your lead."

"You brought me to the heart of the struggle, and now you still want me to help you?"

"However, because of me, you are now a His royal highness the prince. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages."

"King Xuan's mouth can really turn death into life. Does this mean that the This King needs to thank you?"

"That's not what I meant, it's just that Ling Yi is very important to me. I hope that His royal highness the prince can help me bring Ling Yi out."

"Alright, this is something that This King agrees to do, but This King also has conditions."

"Please speak, His royal highness the prince."

"Since you're already being honest with me, then This King hopes that you won't have any politics involving anyone other than me in the future. Even the Emperor can't do it, so you just have to obediently listen to This King in the future."

"So did I guess correctly? His royal highness the prince, your identity is indeed a tricky one. If not, why did you try to rope me in when the emperor is pampering you so much?"

It's just as you said. This King is currently the crown prince, so whatever This King wants to do now, it's just a matter of a sentence. You already know how many This King you participated in that year, but in the future, you will have to see just how obedient you are. "

The Song Xuan Wang didn't know what Mu Yefan was trying to do, but he was slightly terrified. He had plotted against Mu Yefan this time, but because of this, Mu Yefan was able to rise to the top. If he didn't agree to Mu Yefan's request, his future days wouldn't be too good.

"His royal highness the prince can promise not to attack our Song Family in the future?"

"What kind of guarantee do you want? As long as you are on my side."

"As long as you can guarantee that you will bring Ling Yi out this time, and that you will marry Ling Yi, I will not care who the person you like is, but you must have Ling Yi's status."

Mu Yefan didn't hesitate this time, but smiled and said, "I promise, if This King becomes the emperor in the future, then later on, your highness will definitely be Song Lingyi, how about it, Duke Xuan, do you promise now, don't worry, what doubts do you have?"

"Then I will remember your promise. I will follow whatever you say in the future."

"That's for the best, Your Highness Duke Xuan please take care, I will go and plead with royal father about Ling Yi tomorrow."

Waiting until the Song Xuan Wang left, Mu Yefan sat in the darkness and slowly drank all the tea he poured just now. Because he had left it for a long time, the tea was a little cold, and Mu Yefan was suspicious of what happened today, but he did not know how long Mu Haolin would trust him for, so he had to rope in his own forces in the imperial court.

Those people might have been supporting Mu Beiche previously, but even though Mu Haolin had given him the position of Crown Prince today, but no matter what, Mu Yefan was not at ease. He needed more security in order to ensure his safety, and Song Xuan Wang was just a piece of fat meat that was naturally delivered today.
