What she didn't expect was that not only did Long Zhaoting not demand that Gali punish her, he even sent someone to escort her back to the cold palace in the afternoon.

After a mama threw her back into the cold palace, she beckoned with her hand towards the door. A palace maid who was neatly arranged walked in with a delicacy. It was a delicacy that filled the table.

"Empress Dowager, please have a meal. When you're done, ask the imperial physician to treat the Empress' injuries." The mama cast a sidelong glance at the imperial physicians waiting outside the door.

"What is that damn man trying to do now?" Lin Mu Fan asked cautiously.

"The Emperor did not say. He only said that the Empress should stay here from today onwards to take good care of her body." After she finished speaking, the mama withdrew.

"Wait!" Lin Mofan called out to her and indifferently said, "My hands are too sore to eat it. You can stay and feed it to me."

The mama was frightened and obediently returned to the dining table. Her duty was to wait upon Mu Fei until her body was better. Naturally, she didn't dare disobey.

"Esteemed Empress, it's better to let Zhu'er come. This matter is convenient for Zhu'er." Pearl snatched up a bowl of food to feed. Lin Mofan rolled her eyes in annoyance. She was still thinking of bullying this bunch of idiots who looked down on people.

After the others left, the woman consoled them, "Empress, you don't need to argue with me about this. It's said that in order to stabilize our relationship with the Cloud Country, I plan to marry the Cloud Country's Head Princess and let King Rui marry her …"

"King Rui? That caricature prince? " Lin Mu Fan was shocked.

"Ugh …" It should be! Pearl nodded her head and continued, "On the surface, the emperor wants the Empress to return home in three days. In fact, it's Cloud Country's Prince Ling who is accompanying the Grand Princess to Whirling Moon Kingdom. The Empress must attend the banquet, which is why the emperor has helped the Empress recuperate from illness."

"What does the presence of the Cloud Nation's princes and princesses have to do with me? Why would you want me, a mere ugly concubine, to make a fool of myself? Could it be that Long Zhaotao's brain is playing with rust? " Lin Mufan said in a bad mood. Could it be another technique that was used to viciously torture her?

"Empress, don't you remember? Back then, you were sworn brothers and sisters with the Emperor, Prince Rui, and Prince Ling. Their relationship has always been good. Now that the three brothers are together, the Empress cannot be lacking."

"Sister-in-law?" It can't be? Did she have such a gorgeous history?

"The Empress has time, and needs to practice her zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. It's not like I'm inferior this time. The Empress humiliated the Grand Princess last year in front of all the officials of the imperial court. I'm afraid she won't let the Empress off this time." Pearl said, worried.

This meant that she had lost her power, and might very well fall into the hands of the Grand Princess. She really wanted to see what that Cloud Country princess had that would dare to provoke her.

"I'm waiting for her to come." The corner of Lin Mu Fan's mouth curled up as he let out a disdainful sneer.

After not having eaten a good meal for a long time, Lin Mufan ate his fill and let Zhu'er help him to the bed so that the imperial physician could treat his wounds. Most of his body was heavily injured. After drinking some medicine and applying some ointment, the imperial physicians all retreated. Lin Mu Fan once again fell asleep.

Nurturing the body was indeed much more blissful than being abused! After Lin Mu Fan realized this point, he felt that he should change his strategy. Resisting blindly was akin to smashing an egg against a rock. He was courting death!

After three days of good sleep, the wounds on her body had already formed scabs, and the dark plum blossom on her face had faded. She no longer needed to wrap herself up like a ghost.

Today was the birthday celebration of Lin Xiangguo, so she could return to her parents' home for a day or two for the Emperor's grace. For the Lin Family, Lin Mufan did not have much affection for them, after all, they were a bunch of people that she had never even seen before.

But since she had the chance to leave the palace, then it couldn't be any better. Maybe she could find a chance to run away from home and escape from this hellish palace.

She wore a phoenix crown on her head and wore a white veil. Her palm-sized face was faintly discernible. No matter how one looked at it, she still retained her rich charm. After leaving the palace with the empress dowager, the carriage rolled along the official road.

All along the way, the empress dowager had whispered to her to keep the rules of the palace, to please the stinking man, and these words had been spoken from her left ear to her right.

Returning to the Lin Residence, Lin Mofan saw Lin Xiangguo. After passing by the siblings of the aunts and aunts, he claimed that he was tired. He then carried the Boss back to the room under the guidance of Zhu'er.

It was a separate courtyard, and the decorations were luxurious and beautiful. One could tell that her life in the Lin Residence had been quite comfortable. The only difference was that the room wasn't like other women's rooms, where there were music, calligraphy, paintings, women's red etc. Instead, it was a knife on the right side of the wall and a sword on the right. There was a long whip hanging on the ceiling.

She could almost imagine what kind of life Lin Mu Chen had in the past. It was no wonder that he could not draw and instead went to the main street to greet a group of men.

"Zhu Er, did I have a good life here before?" Lin Mufan asked as he touched the sealed saber.

"Not so good, Miss. Your mischievousness is giving the prime minister a headache. Your beauty is envious of the other ladies, so they don't like you. However, no one would have thought that Master Hail would fall for you, angering all the other ladies to death. However, Master Hail truly doted on the young lady from then on. " Pearl said as she cleaned the room.

Lin Mofan snorted, "Since it's of value, of course I'll use it."

"Mommy, I'm hungry." The Boss rubbed its stomach to express its displeasure

"Little master, please bear with it. I'll go to the kitchen and find something for you to eat." Pearl turned and walked out the door.

"I want a steak, seventy percent cooked."

Zhu'er was already used to the Boss' strange alien language and promised to leave. Lin Mufan smacked his little butt and said unbearably, "Teeth haven't even grown yet, let's line your head."

The Boss spread open its arms and cheered towards the dark sky outside the window: "Rain is falling!" Go on, go on! I want tusks! "

In the evening, he ate dinner with the prime minister, his brothers and sisters, as well as the ones who had yet to leave the pavilion. Afterwards, the prime minister took them and chatted with them for nearly an hour. The words spoken were almost exactly the same as what the empress dowager had said in the carriage. She simply wanted her to emphasize the greater picture, fawn over the emperor, and consolidate the Lin Family's position within the Revolving Moon Kingdom.

It was only when Lin Mufan faked a yawn and could not even open his eyes that he let her go.

Returning to his own courtyard, Lin Mufan had Zhu'er lock the courtyard door and help the Boss take a bath. The Boss that liked to play with water swam back and forth in the vat like a stupid duck, while Lin Mufan used a towel to help wipe it off.

"Mommy, did you hear that? "My godfather is playing the zither." The Boss suddenly raised its head from the water and laughed.

Lin Mu Fan was stunned. Since when did this kid have a godfather? In her confusion, she had indeed heard a beautiful zither music caress the window and enter the room. It was gentle and melodious, extremely beautiful.

Who is it? Who was playing in the middle of the night? Lin Mufan looked out of the window at the Barber Forest in surprise. Under the night sky, the sound of the zither was getting closer. He suddenly remembered that the music of King Rui's zither on the Guanshan was just as pleasant to listen to as it was now. It was the most beautiful song that Lin Mufan had ever heard.

"Maybe it's a singing prostitute practicing music?" A group of singing whores lived in Pawley, and when guests came, or any of the lords were in a good mood, they could come and play a song.

Furthermore, the Boss had just called him 'godfather'. Besides the King of Rui, who else would the Boss call 'godfather'? Whether it was him or not, it was best to be careful. As he thought about this, Lin Mufan fished the Boss out of the water and wrapped it in a large towel.

Just as she turned around, the zither music suddenly stopped. A snow-white figure suddenly entered through the window. Lin Mofan was shocked. His hands loosened. Luckily, the BOSS's hands were fast enough. Both of his hands tightly held onto her clothes to prevent them from falling to the ground and blooming.

"You … "Why are you here?" Lin Mofan stared in astonishment at the Prince of Comics that had suddenly appeared in front of him. It was still as white as snow, with hair that was as black as ink falling to his shoulders. He was so beautiful that even women would be jealous!

He was not dead! Even if he fell down the cliff, he would still be unharmed!

"Mu Chen, you've been waiting for me to leave the palace." King Rui's lips moved slightly, and his voice was as charming as his appearance. His deep gaze locked onto the Boss in her embrace. "I said it before, I'll come and take you and your child away."

"Godfather, he's the Dragon King!" The Boss unhappily said to himself as it rolled its eyes.

Lin Mufan was shocked and subconsciously wrapped a towel around the Boss. He knew that her child was still alive? She even said that she would take them with her! However, the child couldn't possibly be his. He only needed to look at the Boss' face to know. Under the circumstances, she hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you … "You misunderstand, the child is not yours, he is …"

Who the hell is he? At that time, Long Zhaosu had made it very clear that he had gone for a stroll in the south and hadn't been in the Imperial City at all.

If she told them the truth and told them that she had brought the baby from the twenty-first century, it was from the later generations. Other than her and the Boss, there was probably no other person who would believe this.

"I was with you that night, not Long Ze. Mu Chen, you said that you wouldn't change your mind, and you told me not to change it. I'll remember you, but you're no longer the you you were before. How can this be?"

A year ago, when they raised the curtain and looked at each other, what he saw in her eyes was a sense of unfamiliarity!

"I …" Lin Mu Fan was speechless. He was at a loss for words as he stared at the beautiful man in front of him. If the child was his, if he could really take her away, she would be glad. However, the problem was that the child wasn't his. She was too embarrassed to deceive such a gentle and beautiful man.

"The child really isn't yours. Look for yourself." Lin Mu Fan removed a corner of the towel and the Boss immediately came out. It grinned at Rui Wang and chuckled.

When Rui Wang saw that the Boss' face was almost identical to Long Zhaojie's, his handsome face that always carried a hint of melancholy and gentleness stiffened. He looked at the Boss in astonishment, then muttered to himself after a long while: "How is that possible?"

"Do you believe me now?" Lin Mu Fan said helplessly. It really wasn't that she didn't want this unparalleled beauty, but that this beauty might not want her anymore!

At that moment, the surroundings of the house suddenly lit up, followed by the sound of footsteps. At the same time, Long Zhaofeng was enraged: "Wrap this courtyard up! Not a single one can escape! "

Lin Mu Fan was alarmed as he hastily looked towards Rui Wang. Seeing that he was calm and collected, he did not seem worried at all. Just as Lin Mu Fan was preparing to give the Boss to Zhu'er, the grid door was pushed open and a bright yellow figure entered her line of sight. Your majesty! He … Come in!
