The group stayed in the palace for about ten more days, and Mu Yunchen finally managed to nurse Mu Peiyun back to health.

The palace sent several groups of palace maids in succession. They were just sent by the Emperor and the Empress. They said they were visiting the Crown Princess, but in fact, the Emperor wanted to see his little grandson.

The drunkard doesn't mean wine.

The first few times Mu Peiyun could still pretend nothing had happened, but as people from the palace came more frequently, Mu Peiyun could no longer pretend.

Seeing Mu Yunchen's nonchalant look, Mu Peiyun couldn't help but tug at Mu Yunchen's sleeve after coaxing Xiao Zhiyu.

He asked: "Father and Mother sent so many people here, I guess they want us to go back."

Mu Yunchen held Mu Peiyun's hand and replied: "Don't worry about them. We have to take good care of you. It won't matter if you go back."

"If they want to watch, let them wait. It's not easy to punish you or me anyway."

"If you really can't wait, you will come and see it in person."

Mu Peiyun looked at Mu Yunchen's confident and arrogant look, and suddenly felt that there were countless words in her mind, but she couldn't say a word.

"Your Highness, our little Zhiyu will be one month old in a few days."

"It's not appropriate to hold this full moon banquet in the palace, right?"

Although Mu Peiyun didn't want a grand wedding, from the day she married Mu Yunchen, everything was destined to be extraordinary.

The full-moon banquet for Prince Damu’s first child will definitely not be simple.

In fact, Mu Peiyun knew that His Highness wanted to stay in the palace for a month and take her and the child back to the capital after she was out of confinement.

But if we really wait until that time, the people in the Censorate might impeach the prince for neglecting the affairs of state.

His Highness cares about her and considers her, so she should also consider His Highness.

Husband and wife should understand and tolerate each other.

Mu Yunchen was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then nodded: "That's true."

"That……"

Mu Peiyun was just about to ask him - when are we going back?

As soon as she opened her mouth, Mu Yunchen seemed to know what she was going to say and interrupted her directly: "So what?"

Mu Peiyun: How arrogant are you?

You are the prince, you have the final say.

Mu Yunchen didn't hear his Crown Princess speak for a long time, so he looked up and asked in confusion: "Qingning wants to go back?"

In fact, the reason why Mu Yunchen didn't want to go back was that he just wanted to enjoy the days away from the troubles of the capital.

Here, he has peace and quiet, and he has Xiao Zhiyu. There are no intrigues or power struggles in the capital. This kind of life is what he has been longing for.

Mu Peiyun met his gaze and blinked. Did she want to go back?

In fact, as long as she is with His Highness, she will be happy wherever she is, no matter how noisy the surroundings are, as long as he is there, it's fine.

However, she had been in the palace for nearly four months, and she hadn't seen her father and mother for a long time. She really missed them a little.

Although there are people she hates in the capital, there are also her parents whom she cares about.

What's more, now that the child is born, it is time to inform his father and mother of the good news and let little Zhiyu meet his grandparents and great-grandfather.

Mu Yunchen saw his Qingning's watery eyes and nodded softly.

Subconsciously, I reached out and rubbed it.

Mu Peiyun thought he was going to touch her face, so she leaned forward out of habit, but was ruthlessly "violently touched" by Mu Yunchen.

“Ah~ Your Highness!!”

"What are you doing? You're almost deforming my face! Can you be gentler?!"

Mu Yunchen let go and looked at Mu Peiyun thoughtfully, then nodded and said to himself: "So Qingning likes gentleness~"

"You..." Mu Peiyun glared at Mu Yunchen in shame and anger. The couple already had a child, and she immediately understood the implicit meaning of Mu Yunchen's words.

"Your Highness, you are not behaving well~"

Mu Yunchen suddenly leaned in and kissed Mu Peiyun's lips, and licked his lips in her surprised gaze.

"Qingning is sweet, but unfortunately I can't eat meat, so I can only satisfy my craving."

Looking at Mu Yunchen's provocative look, where was the dignity of a prince? Mu Peiyun snorted lightly and turned his face away, looking angry.

Seeing this, Mu Yunchen quickly put away his improper behavior and coaxed her: "Okay Qingning, I know I was wrong, and I will definitely stop doing it in the future. I hope you will forgive me."

Mu Peiyun couldn't stand Mu Yunchen's coquettish and cute behavior the most. It was hard to imagine that the person who was cold and heartless in front of outsiders would act coquettishly and coax people in front of her. What a huge contrast.

Who could bear it? She couldn't bear it anyway.

He was easily defeated.

"Okay, okay, I won't be mad at you anymore."

As she said this, Mu Peiyun added a sweet kiss of her own and kissed Mu Yunchen on the lips.

Mu Yunchen was very satisfied. He put his arm around Mu Peiyun's shoulders, held her in his arms, and pushed Xiao Zhiyu's "rocking car" away.

"So, does Qingning want to go back?"

Mu Peiyun sat and thought for a moment, then nodded and replied: "Yes."

"Okay, then let's take a break and prepare to set off back to the capital."

No matter what the road ahead holds, as long as she wants, he will accompany her.

What's more, they are just going home now, and they still have a long way to go in the future.

Unexpectedly, Bi Shiqi was quite quick and arranged everything quickly. He told Mu Yunchen early the next morning that they could set off.

"I asked you to prepare some soft cotton pads for the carriage. Are you ready?"

Bi Shiqi nodded woodenly: "Your Highness, it has been prepared."

"I will make sure that the Crown Princess sits comfortably and that the little prince won't be shaken."

Mu Yunchen raised his eyes and glanced at Bi Shiqi, only to see that he had lost his usual liveliness and cheerfulness, and his expression was too serious.

Obviously, he has not yet recovered from Bi Qi's departure. He believes this fact, but cannot accept it.

For a while, I could only numb myself.

"Are you blaming me?"

If Bi Qi had followed him to the Bi Ming Tang branch to recruit people that night, then Bi Qi would not have died.

Speaking of which, he was also responsible for Bi Qi's death.

But after all, everyone has their own destiny. In fact, Mu Yunchen himself couldn’t accept it, let alone Bi Shiqi.

Bi Shiqi paused in handing over the tea, then lowered her head in shame.

He admitted that he had indeed blamed His Highness in his heart a few days ago. Since His Highness had taken Brother Bi away, why didn't he bring him back safely?

But when he calmed down, he realized that he was too complacent.

His Highness was so kind to them on a daily basis that he almost forgot his duty and his mission.

If it had been His Highness at the beginning, there would have been no Brother Bi, and there would have been no him today. What qualifications does he have to blame His Highness?

Thinking of this, Bi Shiqi suddenly knelt down in front of Mu Yunchen, her voice choking: "Your Highness, I have no right to blame you."

"I will protect you and the Crown Princess until my death!"

Only Bi Shiqi himself knew the weight of his words. He wanted to carry the power of Big Brother Bi and become the first guard beside His Highness.

Mu Yunchen put down the teacup, reached out and patted Bi Shiqi's hand vigorously, and then said: "From now on, you will take over Bi Qi's position and serve as the deputy head of Bi Ming Hall. Stay by my side."

"I will arrange for someone else to go to the Crown Princess' place."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Wow! This cushion is so soft!"

Mu Peiyun carried little Zhiyu into the carriage and exclaimed in surprise as soon as she sat down.

He reached out and touched the cushion in the carriage. It was very soft, completely different from usual.

Seeing Mu Peiyun so surprised, Su Jiu explained, "Crown Princess, this was specially prepared by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Even the cotton in here was just bought from outside and put in here."

Su Niang also added, "Yes, yes, Crown Princess, look how good His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is to you!"

"That's right, if the ladies in the capital knew about this, they would definitely be envious to death."

"We servants are truly pleased with the Crown Princess."

Upon hearing this, Mu Peiyun reached out and stroked the newly made mat with a happy smile on her face.

Listening to the two little girls' jokes, he raised his head and retorted: "Do you two want to get married too?"

"If you want, when I return, I will take this matter to heart and find a good marriage for you!"

Sujiu and Suniang looked at each other, both blushing: "What are you talking about, Crown Princess? I don't want to get married. I just want to stay with you all my life."

Su Niang also echoed, "This servant is just like Su Jiu. I just want to stay by the Crown Princess' side and serve you for the rest of my life."

Seeing that she had embarrassed the other person, Mu Peiyun quickly reached out and coaxed him, "What girl doesn't want to get married? That's nonsense."

"Crown Princess~" Su Niang called out again shyly. Why was her Crown Princess like this? Did she think they were getting in the way?

The two girls were indeed shy, so Mu Peiyun stopped teasing them and said hurriedly, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything."

"Of course I hope that both of you can stay with me all the time."

Just when they both thought that the topic could end here, Mu Peiyun paused for a moment and then said, "But if you two really have someone you like, you must tell me!"

"When the time comes, I will marry you off in style!"

Sujiu and Suniang were not happy with this. They hugged Mu Peiyun's arms, one on each side, and shouted shyly and helplessly, "Crown Princess~ Don't you want to stop talking?"

"Hehehehe..."

Mu Peiyun couldn't hold back any longer and laughed. The two maids just looked at their master silently.

In the end, it was little Zhiyu in Mu Peiyun's arms who showed emotion and burst into tears.

Mu Peiyun tried to coax the baby, but it didn’t get better after a long time. The baby had just been put on the carriage and the diaper wasn’t even wet!

Could it be that you are hungry?

Thinking of this, Mu Peiyun asked the wet nurse to take the child away. Sure enough, after a while, the crying stopped.

It seems that he is still a foodie. He had just eaten before leaving, but he is hungry now.

The sun was not too hot, and after the carriage had been travelling for an hour, Mu Peiyun felt a little drowsy.

The child was sleeping soundly with the wet nurse. His Highness sent many people to protect him, but left her idle.

This time when Mu Yunchen went back, he did not ride in the same carriage with Mu Peiyun. In his words, he was sitting in the front personally, and even if there were thieves on the road, they would not dare to get close.

The result soon slapped Mu Yunchen in the face.

Mu Peiyun was sleeping soundly, and even Sujiu and Suniang were sleeping in a slumber, when suddenly the carriage stopped abruptly.

Due to inertia, Mu Peiyun almost fell off the seat.

There was a burst of noise outside the carriage. Before Mu Peiyun had time to stick her head out to observe the situation, she heard Mu Yunchen's anxious voice.

"Qingning, don't come out. Are you okay? Did you fall?"

Mu Peiyun stopped what he was doing and replied to the outside: "I'm fine."

As he spoke, Mu Peiyun glanced at the two maids who had just gotten up. Apart from some dust on their faces, everything else was fine.

"What happened outside?"

Hearing that she was fine, Mu Yunchen finally felt relieved. The person he had been protecting must not fall here.

"We're in a little trouble. Stay inside and don't come out."

Then Mu Yunchen turned his horse around and walked forward. He sat on the horse and looked down at the little boy standing on the ground.

The little boy was motionless, holding a broken bowl in his hand, with blood oozing from his knee. The wound was caused by him falling to the ground when he was almost hit while trying to stop the horse.

Bi Shiqi looked at the little boy who was looking for death with a half-smile, and asked nonchalantly: "Hey, little brat, who taught you to stop the horse like this? Aren't you afraid of being hit to death?"

The little boy timidly took a step or two back, but still stood in the middle of the road, blocking their way.

He was dressed in rags and dust, but his eyes were so clear even though he was covered in dirt.

Mu Yunchen couldn't help but observe him.

After not getting a response for a long time, Bi Shiqi asked again: "Little brat, let me tell you, it is wrong to stop the horse like this. If you meet other people, you will be dead now!"

The little boy still didn't answer. He grabbed his clothes with his hands and looked scared, which made people feel sad.

"Hey, did you hear that?"

Seeing this, Bi Shiqi said to herself, "Is this child a mute? He can't even answer."

"Little brat, this is an ointment for treating bruises and sprains. Take it home and apply it on your knees. You will be healed tomorrow."

"And this ingot of silver is enough for you to live well for a while. Take the silver and find a good job. Don't beg anymore."

"It's a good thing you met us today. If you met bad guys, be careful that they would take you away and sell you."

As she spoke, Bi Shiqi threw the silver and ointment accurately into the little boy's bowl.

Perhaps Bi Shiqi's words had an effect, the little boy moved aside and made way.

Bi Shiqi smiled confidently and said that the kid was risking his life to stop them just to get some money.

Isn't this easy to deal with? His Highness even said that it is best to be careful.

The team moved forward again. Mu Yunchen frowned and looked back from a distance.

The child standing alone by the road was also staring in their direction.

Suddenly, Mu Yunchen tightened the reins, turned around and ran back!

"Hey! Your Highness, where are you going?" Bi Shiqi was a little confused. Before she had time to stop, Mu Yunchen had already left the team.

"You go first, no need to wait for me."
