Mu Yunzhou woke up and found himself on a couch in a side hall of the Qianqing Palace. Seeing that there was no one around, he went out to the main hall to find his cousin, but was stopped by the palace servants and was not allowed to go out. Mu Yunzhou felt helpless and furious in the side hall.
He paced back and forth, showing his dissatisfaction, and soon he started to make a fuss with the palace servants, demanding to see the emperor and empress.
The palace servants simply stopped him from leaving and didn't say anything more. Mu Yunzhou was helpless, and seeing that no one paid attention to his request, he looked back and forth at the door of the side hall.
Seeing that all the ministers had left the Qianqing Palace, Mu Yunzhou could no longer stay there. The palace servants would not let him go out, so he thought of his grandmother's trick in the past.
Xiao Qi listened to the noise made by Mu Yunzhou next door. This kid was too impatient. He took the teacup from Liu Fu's hand, but after taking a few sips, he was startled by Mu Yunzhou's loud voice.
Mu Yunzhou stood at the door of the side hall, holding onto the largest pillar closest to the main hall, and howled at the top of his lungs!
"Your Majesty, my father made great contributions to Daliang. He served as prime minister for two dynasties and made countless contributions to the court. But in the end, he lost his integrity and ended up like this!"
"Open your eyes and see that your loyal old minister was poisoned to death. Cousin, your heart is as hard as a rock. Have you forgotten the friendship between us when you were in my house?"
"Your Majesty, you promised my father that if you ascend to a high position, you must open your eyes, listen to the opinions of the people, and work for the people of the world."
"Your Majesty, you watched your uncle die. Wouldn't your conscience hurt? How could you bear it?"
"Oh, God, please open your eyes and take a look. Or maybe strike with thunder and kill those sinister villains."
Mu Yunzhou seemed to be tired of shouting, so he stopped and saw that there was still indifference in the hall.
"Your Majesty, my Mu family is full of loyal and brave people. Some were exiled, some committed suicide, and now only..."
"Mu Yunzhou, have you howled enough? Are you happy with your cursing? Do you know that if you insult me, your entire family will be executed?"
Mu Yunzhou glanced at the emperor and knelt down: "Your Majesty, how did I scold you?"
"hehe!"
"Your Majesty, how dare I scold you? You are the ruler of a country, the highest authority in the country. Even if you give me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to do that."
"Okay, is it useful for me to believe that your Mu family is innocent? Will others believe it? If the Mu family wants to be vindicated, it still depends on your Mu family to do it yourself."
"That's true, but it's not easy to redress my wrongdoing. How can I, an uneducated cockfighter and bird-walker, be redressed? I can't figure out how to redress my wrongdoing even if I rack my brains."
"Use your brain more. If you can get solid evidence and find the person behind the scenes, you can prove to the whole world that your Mu family is innocent."
"Obtain the evidence, haha, and find out who is behind this. Even the emperor can't do anything about it, let alone a commoner like me. It's even harder than ascending to heaven."
"Yunzhou, in my current position, there are many things that are inconvenient for me to do and say. As a member of the Mu family, you can do it better and make a fuss better. You only need to find out the truth, and your cousin will take care of the rest for you."
After Mu Yunzhou calmed down, he knew that what Xiao Yuan said made sense, but he didn't know how to redress his grievances. However, Xiao Qi said that he would help him settle it, so he just had to go and make a scene.
Mu Yunzhou thought for a moment and replied, "I understand, Your Majesty."
After Xiao Qi finished making big promises to Mu Yunzhou, he returned to Fengyi Palace.
Shen Qiuchi knew about Mu Yunzhou's situation in the Palace of Heavenly Purity and sighed, "Alas, these children have suffered a lot. In order to let them grow up, this is the only way now."
"My cousin Yunzhou has never suffered any setbacks since he was a child." Xiao Qi then said, "However, people always have to grow up. The current situation can be regarded as a kind of training for him."
"I don't know what good ideas he can come up with given his personality."
"It doesn't matter if he can't think of it. He doesn't need to really go for redress anyway. As long as he can be more sensible and not be like before." Xiao Qi looked at Shen Qiuchi seriously and said, "Just like Qingxu, even though her experience of going south and what happened to you last time have made her grow up a little, she is still a child. Her age is there, and I don't know how long it will take her to be able to stand on her own." So that his Qiuchi would no longer worry.
"I'm just worried about Qingxu. Prime Minister Mu's matter involves so many people. When she is dragged into the dispute with Mu Yunzhou, it will be another fierce battle. Sigh..."
"We have now spread our net and done a lot of things in private. They don't have the energy to hurt Qingxu for the time being."
"Don't worry, Qingxu will be fine."
"hope so."
"Your Majesty, please stop worrying about your sister. Qingxu is fine now. Qiuchi should just worry about me first!"
Shen Qiuchi blushed, then looked at Xiao Qi. This night in Fengyi Palace...
On the second day, Mu Yunzhou began to wander around the palace like a headless fly.
He asked the eunuchs and palace maids some irrelevant questions, and then went to find Xiao Qi to ask for permission to go to the prison, but found nothing.
Mu Yunzhou hit a wall for several days in a row and couldn't find any clues at all.
A feeling of loss filled his whole body. Sometimes when he thought of his dead parents, he would cry secretly in his room in the dead of night.
The emperor discovered that Mu Yunzhou had even stopped going to school and neglected his studies because of his investigation. Now he was at a loss, so he went to find Mu Yunzhou.
If Prime Minister Mu knew that his youngest son had become like this, he would probably accuse him and Shen Qiuchi of breaking their promise and failing to take good care of his old son.
The emperor hurried over to see Mu Yunzhou and saw Mu Yunzhou sitting in a daze on the steps in the yard.
"Yun Zhou, you don't even go to school now? Are you planning to stay in the palace permanently to find out the truth?"
Mu Yunzhou looked at Xiao Qi with red eyes without saying a word. Seeing this, Xiao Qi felt overwhelmed with guilt for a moment. His cousin's current state was not unrelated to him.
Mu Yunzhou hung his head in dejection: "What if I go to the library? It's useless. It's so far away from the capital. I can't find anything there. I can't do anything if I go to the library."
"Yun Zhou, it is indeed difficult to overturn the Prime Minister's crime."
"I know." Mu Yunzhou rolled his eyes at him unhappily. Didn't he know?
"Because you have no real power now, you can't even complete your studies in the academy. Without any honors or official status, how can you enter the officialdom to investigate?"
"..."
"If you want to investigate, you need strength. Your only way now is to take the imperial examination." Xiao Yuan said.
"Take the imperial examination?" Mu Yunzhou was puzzled, but his dream was to become a hero.
Seeing Mu Yunzhou's confused look, Xiao Qi decided to add fuel to the fire: "Yunzhou, you used to only want to leave the capital and become a chivalrous knight who avenges enemies. But you know that no matter how skilled a warrior is, he can't do anything when faced with the intrigues of the court and the layers of troops."
Mu Yunzhou thought for a moment: "But... so what?"
Xiao Yuan said angrily, "What else do you want? If you have strength and power, you can take over your father's case and find evidence to redress his wrongdoing. If you are a higher official than that person, of course, I am not teaching you to use your power to oppress others, but have you ever seen a few common people or low-ranking officials successfully redress their wrongdoings? Unless he is extremely lucky."
His parents were gone, the Mu family was ruined, and Mu Yunzhou fell into deep thought. Now he had nothing. All he could find out were just some superficial facts, which were revealed to him by others. They didn't want him to investigate in depth, and they could stop him from getting in touch with the case at any time.
A huge mansion like the Mu Mansion was instantly reduced to an empty shell in the capital. Now there was no one to protect him anymore. The Lin family's mansion in the capital was also closed to visitors. He went there twice and left in disgrace.
He knew he had to become stronger to redress his family's injustice, but he had no idea.
"Yunzhou, you have never experienced any conspiracy since you were a child. The Mu family has always been harmonious and there has never been any intrigue. This has cultivated your casual and naive character. You always hate evil and hate power, but the status and power you hate are actually your umbrella. Cousin believes that the Mu family is innocent, but cousin hopes that you can prove it to the whole world."
"If those in power and in high positions can seek benefits for the people of the world, this power is benevolent and righteous, and is beneficial to the world."
Mu Yunzhou looked up at Xiao Qi, who looked serious. He nodded in agreement, "Okay, cousin, I will definitely finish my studies and strive to pass the imperial examination! I want to prove to the world that our Mu family is innocent!"
The next day, Shen Qingxu and Xu Xingyi came to the palace to visit Mu Yunzhou. Xu Xingyi was summoned away by the Queen, leaving Shen Qingxu alone to see Mu Yunzhou. The eunuch who served Mu Yunzhou told him that Shen Qingxu was on the way. Mu Yunzhou thought about his decadent appearance in the past few days and what he said to Shen Qingxu. He was ashamed, but he still tidied himself up and went to see Shen Qingxu reluctantly.
Shen Qingxu couldn't help laughing when she saw Mu Yunzhou looking at him like a little wife. Mu Yunzhou had a fight with her, and now when they met, he was almost turning into a coward.
"Mu Yunzhou, you are such a thick-skinned person, how can you feel embarrassed? I thought you were so brave, but you are really, uh, a paper tiger!"
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you. I'm sorry, but I was just too angry and sad. All I could think about was what was happening at home and what I would have to face in the future. Maybe you guys won't contact me anymore, and you won't play with me anymore. I was just thinking too much."
"Tsk tsk tsk. You thought we didn't care about you, but you only cared about your own pain and immersed yourself in your own world, ignoring us! I cared about you with good intentions, but you were mean to me! You really don't know how to appreciate a good person!" Shen Qingxu looked at Mu Yunzhou's expression, "You don't want to go to school these days. You are even less interested in studying than I am now. You neglect your studies and are unwilling to cheer up. Think about it, how can you vindicate Uncle Mu and clear the name of your Mu family if you are like this?"
Mu Yunzhou was a little depressed after hearing this: "Qingxu, I understand. I will finish my studies well and will not neglect my studies anymore. I want to pass the imperial examinations to prove to the world that I want to be an official and I want to vindicate my family!"
"Okay! Mu Yunzhou, I believe in you, but you have to remember that you are not alone, you also have us. We are all good friends, and we will spare no effort to help you!"
Seeing Shen Qingxu's solemn promise, Mu Yunzhou thought of the harsh words he said to her a few days ago, and said with embarrassment: "I know, I won't dwell on this anymore."
"Mu Yunzhou, you don't know, you looked so bitter and resentful, I didn't know how to comfort you for a while, it's great to see you think this way." Then Shen Qingxu continued, "Mu Yunzhou, let's go to the school together tomorrow. Shuyao is not here now, it's boring for me to go to class alone, I keep thinking about you guys in my mind, and you don't know that every time I see that word, I recognize it separately, but I don't recognize any of it when it's put together!"
"Okay, let's go to the school together tomorrow."
