Hearing this, Su Ningde quickly waved his hand. "It's not this old servant. General Yue Bai said that we servants should no longer mention the Queen in front of His Majesty."
Yue Bai? After hearing this, Yan Zhihua slightly raised the corners of her mouth.
It seemed that Yue Bai was not an ordinary person. Even though Rong Xun had raised these people for many years, he still hadn't won the genuine loyalty of these servants.
He was truly pathetic.
Having gotten the answer, Yan Zhihua basically knew the ins and outs of the matter.
She didn't ask any more questions and turned around to leave the Yangxin Hall.
Fuzi, who was beside her, worriedly said, "Your Ladyship Anpin, the Queen is already pregnant with the dragon heir, but she still can't return to the palace. Calculating the days, it's already the third month of the Queen's pregnancy. I wonder how the Queen is doing."
What Fuzi worried about was exactly what Yan Zhihua was concerned about.
Meanwhile, Tang Youyou was enjoying delicious food and drinks in an inn in the Western Regions, living a carefree life.
After a good night's sleep, she had a good appetite even for breakfast.
She picked up the wine jug beside her and was about to take a hearty drink when a knock on the door broke the silence. Of course, she knew who it was.
Tang Youyou put down the wine cup, looked at the figure at the door, and said, "Come in."
The person at the door slowly pushed the door open. Seeing the thick dark circles under Mu Lan's eyes, Tang Youyou wasn't surprised.
She had long expected that this person would come to find her. She just didn't expect Mu Lan to take so long to make up his mind. His indecisive nature made Tang Youyou hesitate a bit.
Looking at Mu Lan's weak appearance, Tang Youyou joked, "Elder Mu, with those thick dark circles under your eyes, did you have too much fun last night?"
Hearing Tang Youyou's bold words, Mu Lan's face instantly turned red. "Youyou, don't be so rude. I'm still an elder. How can you be so unrestrained and ignorant of etiquette in front of your senior!"
Tang Youyou found it strange to be suddenly criticized and taught by Mu Lan. Since coming to this world, this was the first time she had heard someone point out her faults so confidently.
"Elder Mu is really imposing. I wonder if you've figured something out after staying up all night last night? Or do you not want to be the one above all?"
Hearing this, Mu Lan immediately said, "What do you mean? I've thought it through and I agree with you. As for the rest, I believe you can arrange everything properly."
Looking at this person trying hard to act proud, Tang Youyou seemed to realize that this was the first time she had truly gotten to know this person.
She had thought that Mu Lan was a person with a broad mind who didn't care about fame and fortune, but unexpectedly, his personality was like this.
She had to admit that she was a bit surprised.
Tang Youyou tapped on the table and calmly said, "Since Elder Mu has come today to tell Youyou your opinion, let's go to Baiyun Peak right away."
"Now?"
Tang Youyou replied, "Exactly."
After making the decision, the two of them set off immediately with Hua Ze and Hua Ling.
On the way, thanks to Mu Lan's guidance, they walked quickly and smoothly.
Soon, they arrived at the top of Baiyun Mountain.
Looking at Mu Bai practicing kung fu in the courtyard, Tang Youyou squinted her eyes. The kung fu he was practicing was very similar to the content of a book she had seen in the library of the Western Regions' palace.
However, that book was a forbidden book in the Western Regions.
Why could the grand elder learn it?
Tang Youyou followed behind Mu Lan. Seeing Mu Yun and Mu Bai chatting with each other, she hid aside and listened quietly.
"Uncle Mu Bai."
Hearing Mu Lan's voice, Mu Bai turned to look at the four of them. "I was just thinking of sending someone to pick you up. I didn't expect you to come by yourself. These days, using the kung fu technique given by Elder Mu Er, all the discomfort in my body is gone. I feel refreshed."
But Tang Youyou could tell from his appearance that his pupils were slightly dilated and his eye bags were heavy, as if he hadn't slept for many days. He looked just like a dying person.
But she didn't say it directly.
Mu Lan asked, "Why did Elder Mu Er give you this set of kung fu? Isn't he always very strict about knowledge-related things?"
After hearing this, Mu Bai smiled and said, "That's just your one-sided view. Sometimes, what you see is not the real person."
Hearing this, Mu Lan sneered silently in his heart. Not long ago, he had clearly heard the grand elder constantly complaining about Elder Mu Er. But now, just because of a book given by Elder Mu Er, he had completely overturned what he had said before.
He had thought that in the Western Regions, only the grand elder was the most reasonable person. But now, he realized that it was all just his own assumption.
He had given his all to Mu Bai. He had come to Baiyun Mountain every day to feel his pulse, treat his illness, and suppress the poison in his body in order to cure him. He had persisted like this for three years, but three years of efforts couldn't compare to a book from Elder Mu Er.
It was truly ridiculous!
Mu Lan forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and forced a strained smile as he looked at the person in front of him.
"What the grand elder said is exactly right. This junior still has a lot to learn. Thank you for the grand elder's guidance. This junior will surely keep it in mind!"
Hearing this, Tang Youyou also sneered secretly.
One of the reasons she had asked Mu Lan to come along was for this. She wanted to make Mu Lan a qualified sect leader, not an indecisive one.
Only being decisive in killing and punishment was the only way to survive.
Mu Lan endured the grievance in his heart and looked at Mu Bai, who was smiling brightly. "Uncle, do you know anything about the founder of the former Western Regions?"
Hearing Mu Lan bring up this topic, Mu Bai was a bit surprised and asked, "Why do you suddenly mention this? Did someone tell you about this?"
Mu Bai looked at Mu Lan warily and then noticed the three people behind him. "Who are these three kids?"
Tang Youyou replied, "This junior is Elder Mu Lan's student. My name is Tang Jun."
He then looked at Hua Ze and Hua Ling and got the same answer from them. But he knew that Mu Lan rarely took in apprentices, so it was strange that there were suddenly three more disciples.
He said, "Since you've all joined the Lan Yun Peak, you must follow your master's teachings. If you don't, you'll be punished according to the rules. Do you all understand?"
Mu Lan waved his hand and looked at Mu Bai embarrassedly. "They're all very good."
