Bai Yixuan felt her heart ache when she heard this, ”Don't force yourself, if you really can't remember, then it's fine. But you have to drink more of the wine that I gave you, the things inside will benefit you, and I won't harm you.”

Mu Yefan acknowledged it, ”Indeed, after I drank that wine, I would feel that my mind is extremely clear, so I have been drinking that wine the entire time.”

Only then did Bai Yixuan feel at ease, and decided to find some wine for Mu Yefan to send back home. She was not worried about her family, after all, Bai Yixuan had invited so many bodyguards.

However, Bai Yixuan was truly worried for Mu Yefan's safety. The origins of these people were definitely not people he could afford to offend, so wouldn't that mean that Mu Yefan could only save himself by restoring his memories as soon as possible?

Bai Yixuan thought about what Mu Yefan had told him before. In her dreams, there would always be people assassinating him.

Even though Bai Yixuan was worried, they were only friends after all. And no matter how strong Bai Yixuan was, he wouldn't be able to see the light of day. In this era, Bai Yixuan had too many things she could do nothing about.

Imperial Palace

Mu Haolin was currently listening to the eunuch beside him reading to him about recent events. Maybe it was because he had been busy for a long time today, that made Mu Haolin feel especially tired, the kind of feeling that made him extremely tired both physically and mentally. It could even be said that Mu Haolin felt that he had become a little weak recently.

He reached out his hand to touch the handrail beside him. The handrail was carved with a golden dragon. It was vivid and lifelike, as if it would fly out in the next moment.

The young eunuch could tell that Mu Haolin's expression wasn't good, so he said carefully, ”Your majesty, it's late at night, should we rest early, or should we call that esteemed lady over to serve you today?”

Mu Haolin waved his hand. Recently, Mu Haolin had been uninterested in these things, but his heart had always been very unsettled. If there was one more person by his side, then he would have even more no way to rest.

Mu Haolin could feel the changes in his body, but what followed this change was a type of fear. When one reached a certain age, all they could think about was the things you had experienced in the past, and those memories would constantly churn about in their mind, as if wanting to remind them not to forget the pain they had experienced in the past. This was what Mu Haolin had experienced before.

Sometimes, he would stare blankly at his Dragon Throne, causing the eunuch at the side to feel extremely terrified. ”Your Majesty …”

The candle flame faintly swayed, and Mu Haolin seemed to have sensed something as he looked at the young eunuch at the side and said, ”Xiao Shunzi, you can go back and rest, we will definitely call for you.”

Originally, Xiao Shunzi wanted to say something, but Mu Haolin had built up his prestige for many years.

In fact, Xiao Shunzi didn't even know why the Emperor had chosen him despite the fact that there were so many eunuchs in the palace who were better than him. This kind of feeling didn't make Xiao Shunzi feel honored, but instead caused him to feel more and more fearful every day.

It was said that accompanying a tiger was one of the best things for Xiao Shunzi to do, but Xiao Shunzi himself didn't know this point, because in Xiao Shunzi's eyes, other than feeling worried and troubled, he also felt that his entire body was flawed, and that there was no way for him to straighten his back.

Xiao Shunzi felt that one day, he would be beheaded because of the Sin Emperor or something that he did not do well. So right now, Xiao Shunzi was especially cherishing his current life, as he cautiously stood at the door.

Xiao Shunzi tugged on the hem of his clothes, feeling as if a wind was blowing past his ears. Xiao Shunzi suspiciously looked around him, and in the end, just stood there with his back straight.

What he did not know was that Mu Haolin was no longer the only person in the room.

A black clothed man calmly stood in the shadows, as if he was still sizing up Mu Haolin's exhausted posture. In the end, he leisurely opened his mouth and said, ”Your majesty, how come we haven't seen each other for a few days, that you've actually become so haggard?”

Mu Haolin did not mind his rudeness at all, and even laughed: ”When I get old, don't people always look like this? It doesn't look like you, Yan Xu, why did you come back this time?”

”I think I've found the person you've been worrying about for so many years. However, that person doesn't look the same as the Ninth Prince back then, but he's also a very good-looking young man. I don't know if he's the Ninth Prince that the Emperor wants to meet.”

Mu Haolin's expression changed, ”What evidence do you have to prove that he's the Ninth Prince? What if he just looks like one?”

”Actually, I am not very sure either, but that person seems to be extremely familiar with your precious son Mu Beiche. Furthermore, I have seen Mu Beiche treat him to a meal many times, and also saw a woman accompanying him. As for that woman, I do not seem to know her, and it seems that she isn't any important person.

”You said that Che Er is very familiar with him?”

”That's right, and they even spoke so intimately. Isn't it time to hurry back and report to the emperor?”

Mu Haolin's expression finally changed completely as he looked at Yan Xu and said, ”You don't need to tell anyone about this first. Go back immediately and help me keep an eye on that man who looks like the Ninth Prince.”
