Zhou Fuhai curled his lips slightly, showed the token in his hand, and said in a shrill voice: "I am a member of the Queen's family, and I am here to pick up Miss Mu and bring her into the palace on her orders."

Madam Mu's eyes flashed with vigilance. She stood in front of Mu Luan without leaving a trace and asked gently, "Why does the Queen want to see Yao'er?"

"I am just a servant, how dare I guess the master's thoughts?"

Zhou Fuhai raised his eyebrows, made a gesture to invite the outside, and said, "Don't keep the queen waiting for too long, Miss Mu, please come in."

Seeing the eunuch's attitude, Mrs. Mu realized that she had to go to the palace.

She lowered her eyes slightly, then looked at Mu Luan behind her and said soothingly, "It's okay, mother will accompany you to the palace."

The prince passed away not long ago. He had plotted against Yao'er during his lifetime. The queen suddenly summoned Yao'er at this time. It is hard to say whether she found out something.

She had to go into the palace to take a look.

Madam Mu thought so and just took two steps holding Mu Luan's hand, Zhou Fuhai stretched out his hand to stop her, "Madam Anguo, please stay. The queen is summoning Miss Mu."

He glanced at Mu Luan with his slender eyebrows, and his voice was obviously much colder than before.

Madam Mu frowned and looked at the eunuch with displeasure.

This is the General's Mansion. How can she be said to be a member of the General's Mansion, and a first-rank official at that?

How dare a small eunuch speak to him in such a threatening tone?

Could it be that she thought that because she had the Queen's support, she would not take a noble lady seriously?

Mu Luan lowered his eyes and looked at A Niang who was holding his hand tightly.

Her father and brother were not in the capital, and no matter why the Queen summoned her, the Mu family could not conflict with the royal family at this time.

She tugged lightly at A Niang's sleeve.

When Madam Mu looked back, Mu Luan looked at Zhou Fuhai and said softly, "Please wait for me for a moment, Eunuch Zhou. I will go change my clothes and then follow you into the palace."

This request was not excessive, and Mu Luan thought of taking this opportunity to talk to A Niang.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Fuhai raised his chin and looked at her and said, "No need to change, just wear this. The queen said that Miss Mu does not need to be bound by etiquette and can enter the palace immediately."

The sharp voice pressed on again and again, revealing a sense of impatience.

Madam Mu frowned. Seeing him taking advantage of his superiors, she felt angry.

Mu Luan knew that her mother wanted to vent her anger for her, so she quickly pulled her back and moved to a corner.

Madam Mu couldn't help but said angrily, "Look at how bossy and arrogant he is. This is not the way he invites people."

"Auntie."

Mu Luan grasped her sleeve, forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, mother. I will take good care of myself. Even if the queen has a grudge against me, she won't dare to do anything rashly to me. I will be back soon."

Mrs. Mu's eyes were full of worry, but after being comforted by Mu Luan, she decided to let her and Zhou Fuhai go.

But before leaving, she looked at the sunset glow on the eaves in front of Zhou Fuhai and said loudly: "It's getting late, so you can follow Eunuch Zhou to see the queen without worry, but don't play around. If you don't come back by 10:00, I, Madam Anguo, will have to go to the palace to bring you back."

Mu Luan glanced at Zhou Fuhai's unhappy expression casually, and then responded obediently, "Yao'er will definitely be back before the hour of Xu."

After all, Madam Mu was a royal concubine, so no matter how disdainful Zhou Fuhai was, he had to bow and salute her before leaving.
