”Does it feel like the future is no longer filled with hope like before, but instead filled with fog?”

Mu Youzi raised her eyes to look at her as she heard her father's sudden question.

In the end, he nodded his head noncommittally.

She was right. It was as if she was already in the Misty Forest. The fog in front of her was too thick for her to find her bearings, so she simply continued moving forward.

As he saw Mu Yizi's reaction, he took a deep breath and let out a heavy sigh.

”Why does His Majesty sigh?”

Shouldn't she be the one sighing? Why would she be sighing instead? Mu Zhizi looked at Lin Mu with a puzzled expression.

When he crossed his hands on his knees, he looked at her and said, ”When I just inherited the throne, it was just like how you are now. He hadn't even gone to court in almost half a month and had even thrown the imperial reports to Lu Xiang. It was also because of this that the old fellow wanted to return to his hometown after I was able to handle matters of government by myself. ”

”But isn't Lu Xiang still in court?” Mu Yizi frowned slightly. Right now, the Prime Minister still held great prestige in the palace, and there were no signs of him returning home.

Laughing, he turned to look at her and explained, ”Because I need his position and power in the court. How can I let him just leave like that? Naturally, we have to think of a way to keep him here. ”

Mu Yizi did not reply. She knew that Lin Mu Yu would not just leave like that.

With Lu Zhian's position in the court, many officials had once been his disciples.

If it weren't for Lu Yishan, they wouldn't be where they were now. The most important thing for a scholar was their moral integrity. They would not be easily affected by power, and instead, they valued benevolence and camaraderie.

If it wasn't for the fact that they were powerless and had studied for a few more years, they would have probably compared themselves with that green woodsy.

Looking back at the Prime Minister who had painstakingly cultivated for so many years, he could only barely compare to Lu Xiang. If he hadn't spent so much time and effort giving his son to Lin Yu, he wouldn't have been able to stay in the court this comfortable.

If it weren't for the fact that she had enjoyed listening to the gossip and gossip of the elders since she was young, she wouldn't have known that the Prime Minister, in order to consolidate her position, was willing to send her only son to the imperial harem.

One could see how ambitious he was.

”Therefore, if you feel confused, you should take a rest. After all, people had to take a breather for themselves. I don't mind if you come to the palace. ” Saying that, he called for Eunuch Zhou.

Eunuch Zhou then walked in with a token and handed it over to Mu Yizi.

Looking at the command token, Mu Youzi hesitated whether or not she should take it.

Eunuch Zhou lowered his head and gave her a meaningful glance, indicating that she should quickly accept the token.

Under his gaze, Mu Yizi had no choice but to accept the token.

The medallion lay silently in his hand, as if it carried a scorching heat.

Mu Yizi had just entered the imperial court and already received such high treatment from the emperor. If others knew, they would definitely say the wrong thing.

It wasn't because she was afraid of the rumors, but because she was afraid that she would become the scapegoat for others in the future.

Accompanying the king like a tiger, the people around the emperor appeared to be extremely powerful and impressive. He didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at him from the back.
