I have a cub with a tyrant

Chapter 146 The Long-lost Golden Palace
The night was dark, and the General's Mansion was very deserted, only Mu Shiyu's room was still emitting the dim light of an oil lamp.

She sat cross-legged on the bed with her hair disheveled, staring at the cracks in the phoenix seal in a daze.

The cracks on the phoenix seal don't look like they were knocked out while playing with the Yan Xing Umbrella.

Mu Shiyu simply took the uncracked part of the phoenix seal and knocked on it, but no trace was left.

"Ugh……"

Mu Shiyu sighed for a long time, wrapped the phoenix seal with silk and satin, and put it in the dark compartment where valuables are usually stored.

A broken mirror is hard to reunite.

No matter how powerful it is, there is no way to restore the cracked thing to its original state.

Mu Shiyu tried his best to calm down, lying on the bed thinking about what Xun Wu had said.

Xun Wu once said that she does not belong to the Northern Kingdom, and she really wanted to ask him.

Born and raised on this land, if you don't belong to the Northern Kingdom, where would you belong?
Early the next morning, when Mu Shiyu was tying her hair and preparing to go to court, Lu Xiang took out the invitation card for Yun Ting and Song Ran's wedding from the cabinet.

Mu Shiyu was not in Shengjing City at that time.

Yun Ting and Song Ran were successfully engaged, and after choosing a good day, they immediately sent the invitation to General Mu's mansion, and Lu Xiang kept it carefully.

Mu Shiyu had a good hair, and took the invitation card which was exquisitely crafted and extremely festive.

She looked at the names of Yun Ting and Song Ran on the invitation, and recalled the scene where Yun Ting said she liked Song Ran by the Mirror Moon Lake, she felt a little dazed.

Before I knew it, five months had passed.

At that time, she never thought that she would be with Beidi He Lianchuan now.

He also did all kinds of treason and crimes.

Arrive at Qianwumen Square.

Mu Shiyu happened to meet Song Ran who was also wearing a smoky blue court dress.

Compared with the gentleness before, there is a little more cautiousness in the court.

Sensing Mu Shiyu's gaze, Song Ran turned around and saw the slender figure, his eyes lit up.

However, due to the difference between men and women, the people had various prejudices against Mu Shiyu, so he just saluted Mu Shiyu from a distance.

Mu Shiyu nodded with a smile, and walked straight towards the Jinluan Hall. From a long distance, he saw the officials outside the Jinluan Hall quickly stepping into the hall.

The officials around looked at each other, not knowing what happened, so they quickened their pace.

The hall was extremely quiet.

As soon as Mu Shiyu stepped into the Golden Luan Hall, he saw He Lianchuan sitting extremely casually on the dragon chair.

She stood still in front of the inspector's seat, seeing He Lianchuan squinting her eyes and staring at her, subconsciously raised her hand to touch her face, a little surprised.

In the past, He Lianchuan would arrive slowly only after all the officials had arrived.

They didn't expect to rush to arrive today, which really shocked them.

He Lianchuan didn't wear a crown, but was wearing a black gold dragon robe. Half of his hair was fixed with a gold crown, and the ends of his hair fell freely and naturally, which was more majestic than the complicated crown.

Mu Shiyu couldn't see his eyes clearly. He used to think that the emperor's heart was unfathomable, but now he could detect his thoughts with a little effort.

She left too suddenly last night, after he said the word "stay", the way she frowned at that time, it was hard for He Lianchuan not to think too much.

Concentrate your thoughts and concentrate on going to court. This time we are discussing a large number of corvee recruitment.

Prime Minister Xie, who was resolutely refusing to raise corvee pay, fought with a group of old ministers who thought it could avoid shaking the hearts of the people.

"How can corvée be compared with military service? People will never be satisfied. If they want something else, how can Mr. Gu be satisfied?"

"After ten years of war, both the country and the people need to recuperate, and corvee is also a human being."

Officials who agreed with Mr. Gu echoed:
"Yes! Now that there is no war, what's the point of exempting the corvee's family from paying taxes and allowing able-bodied relatives to accompany them?"

"That's right, not only can this solve most of the problems and quell public grievances, but women can also help them with cooking and washing. In this way, who else would dare to run away?"

Prime Minister Xie insisted: "Once people are full, they think too much. Hundreds of thousands of corvee workers, it costs a lot just to fill their stomachs."

The matter of corvee service can be big or small. Seeing that His Majesty was not angry, the ministers boldly discussed it. Afraid of His Majesty's majesty, they did not dare to scold each other like the courts of several countries.

In the end, no one was convinced, and Qiqi looked at the position of the dragon chair.

He Lianchuan sat upright, and among the many ministers in the Jinluan Hall, his eyes were always locked on Mu Shiyu, and said:
"How does Mu Sicha view this matter?"

Mu Shiyu raised his eyes and glanced at He Lianchuan, who was sitting on the dragon chair in the power center of the Northern Kingdom, and the image of him in the bath suddenly appeared in his mind. Hearing him call his official position like this, he felt an inexplicable sense of separation.

She came out with the book in hand, saluted, and said calmly: "I think Master Gu is right, there is no problem in implementing it, but it must be implemented to the end."

Although Gu Hongxu is old, he is unequivocal about these matters, and he must be fully prepared to bring them up in the court.

When Mu Shiyu stepped forward, he had already guessed the result.

After all, he knew Mu Qiyin's personality, and believed that his daughter would agree with this matter.

Xie Cheng is relatively younger than Mr. Gu, and he pays more attention to money. In addition, He Lianchuan's control of power has reached a heinous level, which made Xie Cheng unable to exert power like the previous Four Kingdoms court.

Seeing His Majesty asking Mu Shiyu specifically, his face turned green and pale for a while, but finally he endured everything.

Seeing how His Majesty cared about her, he knew that there was no way to touch her any more.

He Lianchuan had his own decision in mind.

It's just that he saw that Mu Shiyu had been listening to Song Ran discussing with other officials.

Inexplicably agitated, after handing over the specific matters to Gu Hongxu, he left.

At the end of the morning court, Mu Shiyu ignored the strange eyes of other ministers, and calmly walked out of the Golden Luan Hall.

The position of Sicha is very idle, and after looking around, she found that there is nothing she needs to do in person. Thinking of Yunting and Song Ran's wedding tomorrow, she left early to go to General Yun's mansion.

General Yun's mansion is more lively than General Mu's mansion, and the wedding is coming soon, everywhere is festive red, the servants are doing the final cleaning, everyone is very busy, wishing to fly.

The maids were waiting for Yun Ting to try on the wedding dress. Yun Ting dealt with it with a bitter face. When she saw Mu Shiyu appearing, she stood up excitedly, but was pushed back by the maids in a hurry.

Yun Ting was forced to sit back in her seat. She only had Mu Shiyu as her true friend. When she saw her, she completely relaxed from the uneasiness before marriage, her eyes were slightly moist, and her voice carried a hint of crying:
"Shigure! You finally came back safe and sound, and in time for the wedding! I'm so happy!!!"

"Ah."

Mu Shiyu smiled and stepped forward to appease her nervousness. Lovers finally get married. Such a beautiful thing always makes people feel happy.

Yun Ting grabbed Mu Shiyu's hand, and kept talking about the things between her and Song Ran, as well as the situation at home, as if she couldn't finish talking, she bent over with a smile from time to time while talking.

Suddenly remembering the rumors about Mu Shiyu and Beidi in Beijing, he asked all the maids to retreat, and asked very seriously:
"Shiyu, why hasn't His Majesty moved at all? Just promoted you to an official position?"
