"Master Xu said yes, so please find another high platform for me and prepare torches. I want to take Fan Yan's ashes back to the palace."

When these words came out, not only Xu Wei was surprised, but even Song Jinyu beside him was frightened, and subconsciously advised her: "It's not appropriate to do this at this time. Why not bury him on the spot first, and then find a chance to move him to the cemetery?"

Tang Mumu pursed her lips and immediately said, "I don't know if there will be another chance after today. Fan Yan is from Rong Wangfu and is my family. I can't save his life. The only thing I can do is to let him rest in peace after death. At least he can't be left exposed in the wilderness."

She knew that Fan Yan was like a family member to Rong Yan, who was with him day and night. He was now too busy to take care of her, so she had to do something, otherwise it would be too unfair to Fan Yan who had always called her "Princess".

"Your Highness Princess, your thoughts are really simple. You have not yet dealt with the matter of disobeying the imperial edict, and now you are even thinking about burying the criminal in peace. I am a weak official and cannot stand such torment from you, Princess."

Xu Wei spoke without any mercy. Tang Mumu stared at him coldly, and seeing that he still looked calm, she pulled out the silver hairpin from her hair and placed it against her neck.

"What are you doing, little princess?"

"Mumu."

"Princess Princess."

Tang Mumu's behavior scared everyone present. Song Jinyu thought she was simply crazy. He should have kept her from knowing about this earlier. Now, she was charged with disobeying the imperial edict, and if something happened to her, he would no longer have the face to see Rong Liu.

Linlang and Ji were also terribly frightened, with tears welling up in their eyes.

Xu Wei was obviously frightened by her actions. Princess Rong was simply not a person who would play by the rules. Every move she made was like grilling him in trouble.

Tang Mumu tightened her grip, the tip of the hairpin had sunk into her skin, a little blood oozed out, Song Jinyu quickly stepped forward, looking worried, "Little Princess, are you serious? How can I explain to Rong Liu if something happens to you? He wants to beat me to death, my life is also a life, don't be impulsive."

Song Jinyu was angry and anxious, with so many things to do. He wanted to go over and snatch the silver hairpin, but he was afraid that doing so would hurt someone.

Tang Mumu ignored him and looked at Xu Wei coldly, "Anyway, you have already accused me of disobeying the imperial decree. Even if the emperor wants to punish me, he will punish me first. If you listen to me, you may only be charged with lax supervision, but if I die here today, you will also be charged with murdering the princess. You can decide for yourself which is more serious."

Xu Wei had cold sweat on his forehead, feeling resentful about how he got such a thankless job. He respected and feared Tang Mumu. He even felt that this man was more difficult to deal with than His Royal Highness Prince Rong. What sin had he committed to deserve the fact that he met such a family of people?

"Do as I say." Tang Mumu shouted coldly, and his hands became more powerful, scaring the people present to gasp again.

"Xu Wei, are you deaf?" Unable to control Tang Mumu, Song Jinyu had to use Xu Wei as a scapegoat. He grabbed his collar and said angrily, "Prince Rong has not been convicted yet, and she is still Princess Rong. She is the boss here, and you dare to disobey her? If Princess Rong really dies because of you, I think you will want to move your head."

Xu Wei was so frightened that his face turned red. Without having time to think, he called his men to prepare according to Princess Rong's instructions.

Flames shot up into the sky, Tang Mumu stood in front of the platform without moving, Xu Wei was still wiping the sweat from his forehead, he no longer dared to look directly at Tang Mumu, in his heart, Princess Rong was no different from a lunatic.

There was no urn, so Tang Mumu found a wooden brocade box. She didn't consider everything ready until the sky was dyed with rosy clouds. Tang Mumu held the brocade box in her arms and looked at Xu Wei, who quickly lowered his head reflexively.

"Master Xu, please report everything that happened today to your father word for word. Thank you."

Tang Mumu left after she finished speaking, Linlang and Ji Chu hurriedly followed. Only Song Jinyu was busy cleaning up the mess behind him. Although he couldn't let Xu Wei hide the matter, he couldn't really let him report it word for word either.

Linlang and Ji Chu didn't speak all the way until they reached the tent. Linlang couldn't hold it in any longer and gave Tang Mumu a thumbs up. "Tang Mumu, you were really brave today. I, Linlang, admire you."

Tang Mumu put the brocade box on the table. At this moment, she felt a little dazed, as if everything that happened was not real.

"In fact, I had no idea at all. I was scared to death. Disobeying the imperial decree was a serious crime that could lead to death. At that time, my brain was not flexible and I could only think of such a stupid method. I am still scared now."

"What if the emperor really blames you? He won't really charge you with disobeying the emperor's order, right? That's punishable by death." Ji Chu said with a worried look on his face.

"No." Tang Qingzhi's voice came in before she entered the tent. Several people looked over and saw Tang Qingzhi walking straight towards them with a determined look on her face.

"I just received news that the Northern Rong people launched a mutiny. Father was ordered to go and suppress it. He will leave tomorrow. Father has already left and returned to the mansion. The emperor will not punish you at this time."

"Why would Beirong launch a mutiny at this time?" Tang Mumu didn't care whether he was really going to be punished, he only cared about what the purpose of Beirong's mutiny was at this moment.

"The Beirong people are cunning and have been entrenched for many years. They have long wanted to launch a mutiny, but have waited until today to act. It seems that they have accidentally saved your life."

Linlang knew something about Beirong, but she didn't expect that they would choose to launch a mutiny today.

"Where are you from, sister? Is there any news about His Highness?"

Hearing this, Tang Qingzhi frowned and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I just went to see the emperor with my father. Prince Rong was also there, but he didn't look well, as if he was injured. But I was also watching through the screen, so I might not have seen clearly."

Hearing this, Tang Mumu took a deep breath and clenched his hands on the table into fists.

"Sister must be right. His Highness must have been injured, otherwise he would not have not come to protect the emperor until the end of the day. Today's incident must have been deliberately planned by someone, perhaps targeting Prince Rong's Mansion, perhaps targeting the emperor, or perhaps the other party just wanted to kill two birds with one stone."

Tang Qingzhi couldn't bear to see her like this, so she walked over and sat down beside her, holding her hand, and said softly: "Things haven't gotten to the worst yet. Now only you can save His Royal Highness Prince Rong, you have to be well."

Tang Mumu's nose felt sore, but she tried not to cry and nodded heavily, "Don't worry, I will be fine. Sister, I want to see the Queen Mother when I get back. Can you help me think of a solution?"

"Okay, I'll help you find a solution when I get back."

Tang Mumu no longer had any hope of seeing Rong Yan tonight. She now only prayed that his injury was not that serious.

"Fanfan." Tang Mumu looked at Linlang again, and the latter hurried to her and waited for her to say the next word.

"You will come with me to see my father later. Can you help me save Prince Shun? Don't let him die."

"Okay, I will do my best to treat Prince Shun, don't worry."

The moment Tang Mumu nodded, she could no longer hold back her tears, which rolled down her cheeks. Linlang wiped them away for her with a look of heartache.
