"Mu Gu! Stop talking nonsense here!"

When Mu Bo heard what Mu Gu said, he deliberately changed the meaning of his words in order to make him think worse and become the target of public criticism.

But although Muber realized it, his response was really bad.

Mu Bo's violent and angry words and appearance formed a sharp contrast with Mu Gu's calm and indifferent attitude. It was obvious whose words were more reliable and trustworthy.

"Brother, how dare I say nonsense in front of our father? It's just that what you said and did really made me think more..."

Mu Gu's words exactly expressed what everyone in the hall was thinking.

Yes, if he was not guilty, why would he be so furious and speak without thinking, making a scene in such a majestic place as the court? It is really unbelievable.

Mu Bo listened to the discussions around him and glared at Mu Gu.

"If you still want to say these words, believe me or not!"

Before Mu Bai could finish his harsh words, he was interrupted by Emperor Qinglong, who had been patient for a long time.

"enough!"

Everyone fell silent instantly. Mu Gu stood up obediently with his head down. Mu Bo had always been spoiled. He was so angry that he didn't care about anything else. He didn't care that this was in the court with everyone present. He didn't care whether this would make Emperor Qinglong lose face or not, as he did in the past, when Emperor Qinglong would stand by him unconditionally. Mu Gu immediately complained to Emperor Qinglong.

"Father! Mu Gu is totally exaggerating! How could I possibly want Qinglong to become like that! He is instigating and slandering me! I..."

The entire court was eerily quiet, with only Mu Bai's voice filling the entire hall. It was so harsh that Emperor Qinglong could not help but frown. Finally, after Mu Bai said a few words, he shouted loudly.

"That's enough! You are such a disgrace! You are not as skilled as others, yet you still try to make excuses. You have completely disgraced me!"

Emperor Qinglong was sitting in the court. He only needed to shout a little louder to drown out all the other sounds in the hall. Naturally, everyone could hear this sentence clearly.

Mu Bai was speechless for a moment, and then his expression changed from stunned to shocked and unbelievable. He realized belatedly that the current Emperor Qinglong had changed a lot, and was no longer the same father as before.

Mu Bo stopped talking and his eyes gradually became cold. For a moment, the court became truly terrifyingly quiet. The atmosphere and breath were so depressing that no one could raise their heads. No one dared to look at what was happening in front of them, and no one dared to move.

Mu Bo suddenly raised his head and stared at Emperor Qinglong, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction, anger, and some disappointment.

He didn't say anything, but after looking away, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left the hall.

The eunuch in charge was shocked upon seeing this. This Crown Prince was really bold. He actually dared to walk away in front of Qinglong. Turning his head to see Emperor Qinglong's face so dark that water could be squeezed out of it, the eunuch in charge was shocked and immediately wanted to catch up with Mu Bai.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

As soon as the eunuch in charge took a step forward, Emperor Qinglong spoke.

"Let him go! Unruly creature!"

The most similar thing between Mu Bai and Qing Long is that they both attach great importance to face. Just like at this moment, when Emperor Qing Long said these very unpleasant words, Mu Bai's usually proud image had already lost face in front of many ministers.

The most important thing was that he lost face in front of Mu Gu. In Mu Bo's opinion, he had completely lost this round.

……

"Father, your health is the most important thing. Please don't be angry with me. I was just a little anxious for a moment."

Emperor Qinglong looked at Mu Gu in front of him and realized that he had actually neglected such a sensible child in the past.

Naturally, the post of a thousand households eventually fell on Mu Gu, and Emperor Qinglong handed the five hundred taels of silver over to many ministers to decide.

After what had happened just now, everyone's hearts naturally leaned towards Mu Gu, and they all agreed to Mu Gu's request.

After all these twists and turns, the matter was finally resolved. As Emperor Qinglong announced the end of the court session, the ministers left the hall in twos and threes.

When Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge stepped out of the hall, the sound of footsteps was heard behind them.

"Brother Royal! Brother Royal!"

Mu Li originally wanted to go find Mu Gu as soon as the morning came, but he didn't expect the two men to walk so fast. When he turned around, they had already reached the entrance of the palace, so he had no choice but to chase after them.

When Mu Gu heard the voice, he turned his head. He was a little surprised to see that it was Mu Li, but he still stopped.

Mu Li stopped and just after he caught his breath, another guard came after him. It was the guard who came to the palace to report the news last time, named Ji Feng.

"Your Highness, the Eighth Prince, Concubine Mingzhu asked you to return early..."

As a servant, Ji Feng was generally not allowed to enter the palace, so he waited outside the door. Although he followed Mu Li to protect him, he actually mainly obeyed the orders of Concubine Mingzhu.

Before going to court, Concubine Mingzhu instructed Ji Feng to make sure Mu Li returned to the palace as soon as possible after court. The reason was that ever since the last incident, Concubine Mingzhu felt that Mu Li was no longer as carefree as before.

Having other ideas in mind and wanting to fight for a place in this palace would be fatal for them.

"I see. Please wait a moment. I want to talk to my brother."

Mu Li naturally knew that Ji Feng was following the orders of his mother, but even if he didn't want to, Ji Feng couldn't force him to go back, so Mu Li just frowned and sent Ji Feng aside.

Although Mu Li was not involved in court affairs much, he always heard a lot of things. Therefore, even if he did not leave the palace where he lived, he had a general understanding of the overall situation.

Judging from the current wind direction, Mu Gu's position in the court is gradually replacing Mu Bai, which is a good thing for Mu Li and his mother. He can no longer stay in the harem and do nothing. He must seize this opportunity. He does not ask for great fame, but only hopes that he and his mother can live in the palace without being so timid.

Mu Gu looked at Mu Li, who was just as tall as his shoulder, and saw in his eyes a depth and thoughtfulness that were not typical for a child of his age.

But the only thing missing is greed and desire.

"Okay, let's talk while we walk."

After exchanging glances with Xiao Ruge, Mu Gu decisively agreed to Mu Li's request.
