Yuan Qian's luxurious horse carriage entered Qiyang City gate without any obstruction and it traveled toward the center of the city.

"Eh… Uncle Yuan, where are your residence located?" Mu Xuan Yin asked Yuan Qian with her eyes full of curiosity.

"Haha… My estate located at the center of Qiyang City. There are many residences at my place so Miss Mu can pick whichever Miss Mu fancy!" Yuan Qian was laughing happily as his heart grew more and more fond of Mu Xuan Yin. Of course, it was not romantic feeling like Qing Tian's feeling toward Mu Xuan Yin.

Yuan Qian only had three sons without any daughter and he feels that Mu Xuan Yin bright personality was really adorable so he started to treat Mu Xuan Yin as her own daughter now.

"Eh… Center?" Mu Xuan Yin stunned for a moment. 'Isn't that the direction to the royal palace?' Mu Xuan Yin quickly shook her head and thought that it was impossible since she already asked and Yuan Qian said that he was not a prince or an official.

Their luxurious horse carriage already traveled two hours, their trip was boring and long made Mu Xuan Yin feels sleepy and almost fell asleep at the carriage. However, the scene in front of her made her completely awake.

Mu Xuan Yin saw a familiar thick iron gate stood tall in front of their luxurious horse. Mu Xuan Yin dropped her jaw completely forgot to close it for a few seconds. She stared at the iron gates then back at Yuan Qian repeatedly in disbelief with O-shape mouth.

"Wh…Wh…Wh… Why are we at the royal palace gate?! Uncle Yuan, you said that you are not prince or official!" Mu Xuan Yin was shouting in surprise then asked Yuan Qian skeptically.

"That's true. I am not a prince or official!" Yuan Qian chuckled in amus.e.m.e.nt with Mu Xuan Yin exaggerated reaction.

"Then why are we entered the royal palace now? It is impossible that you are a butler or guard here, right?" Mu Xuan Yin asked in puzzlement.

"Pffft… Ahahaha… Of course not! How could a butler or guard escort by Golden Dragoon Platon? Miss Mu, you really didn't know who the person that could command Golden Dragon Platoon is?" Yuan Qian was smiling gently and asked Mu Xuan Yin.

"You! You are saying that you are… Impossible! How could… How could there's such a coincidence?!" Mu Xuan Yin face paled in disbelief.

"Miss Mu is really smart! That's correct. I am Nanshu Empire's ruler… Emperor Duan Yuan Qian!" Yuan Qian declared his own identity to Mu Xuan Yin.

Mu Xuan Yin rolled her eyes in disbelief as she felt her mind exploded and turned completely blank when she heard Yuan Qian's words.

'How... How could this happen? Coincidence? It must be because of that stupid God's advice! I was really stupid to trust that unreliable God after all!' Mu Xuan Yin was thinking while sighed in resignation as she rubbed her forehead to calm herself down.

"Bwahahaha... Mu girl, there is no need to worry! This emperor will always be by your side! You just need to tell this emperor what's your problem and this emperor will promise to help you settled it?!" Yuan Qian was laughing at Mu Xuan Yin's exaggerating resignation expression that looks like her world came to an end.

"Really? Uncle... Your Majesty, did not lie right?" Mu Xuan Yin raised her beautiful face and stared Yuan Qian full of hope.

"Of course! You have a problem with one of my sons? Tell this Emperor about it then! This Emperor will teach him a lesson! Even if it's my oldest son, I will spank him in front of you! Hahaha..." Yuan Qian satisfied with Mu Xuan Yin's reaction and reassured her once again.

"Hm... Okay then... It's begun when I helped the Crown Prince, Qing Tian at Water Dragon Lake a few days ago..." Mu Xuan Yin hesitated for a bit but she decided to tell everything to Yuan Qian everything that happened when she entered the Royal Palace before.

Yuan Qian frowned and even cursed a few times in anger when he heard Mu Xuan Yin's story about the prime minister, Bai Liang Su and his daughter, Shao Qing plot.

"A pair of bast*rd father and daughter?! It's quite troublesome but does not worry Mu Girl, this emperor will protect you!" Yuan Qian declared to Mu Xuan Yin full of confidence.

However, Mu Xuan Yin was still surprised that even Yuan Qian as Nanshu Empire's Emperor said 'it's quite troublesome'. Normally in the movie or novel, Emperor's word is absolute even if the Emperor ordered his subordinate to die then all of them must commit suicide to obey it.

Of course, Mu Xuan Yin has never hoped that Yuan Qian ordered Bai Liang Su to suicide but she hoped at least Yuan Qian said one or two words to Bai Liang Su so Bai Liang Su will not bother her again but it seems impossible now.

It looks like the dispute between the factions inside the Royal Palace was really fierce and complicated. Even Yuan Qian as Nanshu Empire's Emperor could not completely seize the advantage.

When Mu Xuan Yin and Yuan Qian talked, their horse carriage already entered the Royal Palace and one of the guards opened the horse carriage's door for them.

Mu Xuan Yin and Yuan Qian got off from the horse carriage then walked to the inner palace escorted by tens of golden armored warriors but before they could walk into the deeper part of the royal palace, tens of the red-armored guards already ran and surrounded them in an instant.

"Audacious! Bai Liang Su are you planning to rebel!" Yuan Qian shouting, the warmness that he showed in front of Mu Xuan Yin already no more to be seen and his ferocious noble aura exploded out in an instant made all the red-armored guards that surrounded quivering in fear and hesitation began to flash in their eyes.

"Hehehe... Greeting Your Majesty, please do not take this as an offense. I only want to arrest that little girl beside you on the charge of colluding with our enemy country and act as their spy in our Nanshu Empire!" Bai Lian Shu slowly walking out from behind his red-armored guards, approached Yuan Qian and Mu Xuan Yin while sneered sinister at them.

" Bai Lian Shu, how dare all of you point your weapons at this emperor and his people?! Do you all know that according to rule, all of you will be executed along with the seven generations of your family?!" Yuan Qian was shouting and pointing his finger toward all the red armored guards angrily.

All of the red-armored guards looked each other in puzzlement but Bai Liang Shu only smiling calmly behind them. Mu Xuan Yin frowned even deeper when she saw Bai Liang Shu's calm expression when thinking: 'It looks like this prime minister backer's authority is not any weaker than the emperor himself! That is why he could act so wantonly even in front of the emperor!'

"Your Majesty, please do not get angry! I, Bai Liang Su only do my job as Nanshu Empire's prime minister! This humble one will be sure to clarify this matter to Empress Dowager after I arrested that girl so Empress Dowager could explain everything more clearly to Your Majesty on my behalf!" Bai Liang Shu clasped his hand and said this to Yuan Qian with mocking smile on his face.

"Humph! Do you think that you can always bring Empress Dowager's name to pressure this Emperor? Do you think just because this Emperor sometimes gives in to Empress Dowager's wish then this Emperor is afraid of her?" Yuan Qian said to Bai Liang Shu with a menacing tone.

"Your Majesty, please be rational and do not make this thing hard for this prime minister!" Bai Liang Shu's face turned ugly when he heard Yuan Qian provocative manner. Bai Liang Su never thought that Yuan Qian would be so attached and protective toward the girl that he only met just a few hours ago.
