"I have such a bad temper!" Mo Mo turned around angrily, "Little beast master, why are you helping outsiders?"

Mu Yinyin quickly hugged Mo Mo back, picked up the big chicken drumstick on the side and blocked its mouth, "Mo Mo, eat the drumstick."

Mo Mo waved his paws in protest, but in the end he was defeated by the fragrant chicken legs and stared at Lin Lin with a pair of cat eyes.

"It's very good." Lin Lin stared at Mo Mo without blinking, as if he didn't feel Mo Mo's hostility towards him at all.

Mu Yinyin, "..."

"By the way, I remembered something." Lin Lin suddenly changed the topic, "I seemed to live in a very dark place before..."

As soon as she heard that he had recovered some memories, Mu Yinyin quickly sat up straight and asked anxiously, "What else? Can you remember what your parents look like? In other words, your name."

Lin Lin frowned and shook his head, "I only remember that I lived in a very dark and small place, as if I was locked up by someone."

"Ah..." Mu Yinyin opened her mouth in surprise, "So you were so pitiful before."

"In this case, is it possible that you appeared in the Phantom Forest and accidentally entered it while escaping?"

Mu Yinyin felt that her speculation was very reasonable.

Lin Lin looked at her blankly, "I don't know."

"It's okay." Looking at Lin Lin like this, Mu Yinyin felt that the burden on her shoulders was a little heavier.

She jumped off the stool, walked to Lin Lin, and patted his shoulder like a little adult, "Don't worry, my dad will definitely find out what happened to you!"

"If there was a bad person who locked you up before, I will ask my father to punish him!"

"When the time comes, you will stay in the palace and continue to be my book boy. I will support you!"

Lin Lin looked at Mu Yinyin blankly. Under the candlelight, the black mist in his eyes flashed away, "Okay."

At the same time, inside Qiankun Palace.

Li Heng, dressed in black and dusty, escorted a white-haired woman into the main hall door, "I have met the emperor! I have brought the person the emperor wanted!"

Mu Xuanye stood up suppressing the excitement in his heart, "Is this the person Xue Gui sent Yue Hong to meet?"

"Yes!" Li Heng was also very excited. He stayed awake for several days, and finally he was able to catch the person back. "This is Zhao, the mother of Yuehong, and one of the stable mothers-in-law of Xue Guiren when she gave birth."

Mrs. Zhao knelt on the ground, trembling and not daring to raise her head.

From the moment she saw her daughter Yue Hong appear now, she knew that what happened back then might have been exposed.

"Ever since she delivered the baby of Lady Xue five years ago, Mrs. Zhao has lived in seclusion in a small village outside the capital. Yue Hong has not visited her in five years."

Li Heng reported what he learned to Mu Xuanye one by one, "This time Yuehong left the palace and went straight to the small village. Not only that, she also killed another old woman from Zhao's same village and burned her and Zhao's house together.

, and also secretly sent Zhao away."

"I followed her all the way, and when Yue Hong returned to Beijing, I captured Mrs. Zhao and brought her back."

"Ms. Zhao, raise your head." Mu Xuanye's hands behind his back were clenched tightly, but his face was still cold and majestic, "Do you recognize me?"

Zhao raised her head tremblingly, glanced at Mu Xuanye, and then suddenly lowered her head and lay on the ground, not daring to get up.

"A commoner's wife, a commoner's wife, Mrs. Zhao, please see the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

"As long as I take it seriously." Mu Xuanye nodded lightly, "I have a few questions to ask you. Please answer them truthfully. Did anything happen when you delivered the baby for Mr. Xue?"

Ms. Zhao's body froze, and large drops of cold sweat dripped from her face down the corner of her forehead to the ground, "People, people's wives don't know what the emperor is talking about."

Zhu Zhuweiwei continued, "When Xue Guiren gave birth, everything was as usual..."

"Bold!" Li Heng pulled out the cold sword in his hand with a swipe and yelled, "Do you know what it is to deceive the emperor?"

"A common woman wouldn't dare!" Ms. Zhao exclaimed, "Even if a common woman is given ten courages, she will never dare to deceive the emperor!"

"It's true that nothing happened back then!"

"If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can check the records in the palace..."

"There are special records for the births of concubines in the harem."

She couldn't tell what happened back then no matter what.

She has lived enough to reach this age, but she still has a daughter.

Mu Xuanye glanced at Li Heng lightly, and Li Heng immediately put away his sword and stepped aside.

"Of course I have checked what you said." When Mu Xuanye spoke again, his voice was a little colder, "Ms. Zhao, I am giving you a chance by asking you now."

"If you call me truthfully, I will spare you and Yue Hong from the death penalty."

Zhao's breath was suffocated. What she did back then was undoubtedly a capital crime of beheading.

If the emperor could really be merciful...

No, no, no, Yue Hong specifically told her when she came back this time that she could never talk about what happened back then, even if it was rotten in her stomach.

The emperor can spare her the death penalty today, but he can make her life worse than death tomorrow.

Mrs. Zhao immediately made a decision in her heart. She straightened up suddenly and said, "Your Majesty, civilian women really don't know!"

"If the emperor doesn't believe the women, the women will crash to death in this hall to prove their innocence."

After saying that, he stood up and rushed towards the pillar on the side.

"Li Heng! Stop her!"

Just as Zhao's head was about to hit the pillar, Li Heng slapped her back with a sword.

"Want to die? Are you sure?" Mu Xuanye's anger reached its peak, "Li Heng, put the Zhao family in the sky prison."

"It doesn't matter what method you use, as long as the person doesn't die."

"Within three days, I will know what I want to know."

Li Heng took the order to take Mrs. Zhao down, and Mrs. Zhao's cries resounded throughout the Qiankun Palace.

But from the palace to the gate, no one in the palace dared to raise his head and take a look.

After an unknown amount of time, another black figure quietly landed behind Mu Xuanye.

"Master, there is a sudden rumor in Beijing about the little princess."

The cold air on Mu Xuanye's face softened a little, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "About Yin Yin?"

"Yes." The secret guard nodded, "A giant bird suddenly appeared in the capital today, causing panic among the people."

"However, the giant bird carried four women who disappeared outside the capital at noon today."

"According to what the four women said, they were captured by giant birds and taken into the Phantom Forest. Fortunately, they were rescued by a child named Mu Yinyin."

"After that, the story about the little princess bravely fighting evil beasts in the Phantom Forest spread in the streets and alleys."

"even……"

"Even what?" Mu Xuanye has not yet digested the fact that Mu Yinyin actually saved another person, and this time it was four people.

The secret guard's expression was a little subtle, "There are even many bookstores that have published story books about the little princess, which are very popular."

"The people in the capital are worried about the strangeness of the Phantom Forest and think that buying the little princess's book can ward off evil spirits."
