After seeing the man, Shen Zhi Qiao went into the kitchen and chased out the people who were preparing to make dinner out of the kitchen.

After a while, the kitchen began to clink continuously, causing all of the servants to look at each other in dismay, unable to make heads or tails of the situation.

One must know that this was the first time a certain female Overlord had entered the kitchen. How strange!

In the study of the house of the Marquis!

The air was a bit heavy. Qi Mujing sat in front of the desk, leaning against the back of the chair with half-squinting eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

Only after a long while did he open his mouth and say, "Why have I summoned you all here today? I'm sure you all are well-prepared …"

"Mu Jing, this is a very important matter, why didn't you push it a little?!" Duan Qi Feng seemed a bit anxious, "There are so many civil and military officials in the imperial court, how are you going to accept such a thorny task?!"

Qi Mujing smirked, "Qifeng, how can the imperial decree be withdrawn?!"

"…" Duan Qi Feng gritted his teeth.

Qi Muzhu glanced at Duan Qi Feng and said, "Second Brother, is it related to the matter of the Southern Viewing King urgently transferring back to the imperial court?"

Qi Mujing squinted at his fourteen-year-old brother, but didn't say anything.

"A few days ago, His Majesty met an assassin in the hunting grounds and received a heavy injury … "Could it be …" The eldest, Qi Muyun, quickly asked.

"Big brother, don't make wild guesses!" Qi Mujing said slowly, "The emperor is still resting and hasn't been in court for several days. This morning at the imperial court, the head eunuch, Zhen Jian, sent an edict for the King of South Viewing to return to the capital within half a month. " "Your majesty's meaning is, we should let the King of Southern Hill live in my house."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" Qi Muyun quickly said.

Qi Mujing was silent. After a while, he stared at Qi Muzhu and asked, "Little Four, what do you think about this matter?"

Little Four?

He smiled and imitated her tone.

Qi Muzhu frowned slightly. "There are only two reasons for the Emperor's actions."

Qi Mujing nodded appreciatively, "Tell me about it."

"Firstly, you trust my manor too much, and secondly, you're testing my manor." Qi Muzhu said.

"What do you mean?" Qi Muyun was puzzled.

"Big brother, do you still remember when the Qi Residence became a Marquis Residence?" Qi Muzhu frowned and asked.

Qi Muyun was stunned, "Wasn't it conferred by the emperor on the day he ascended the throne?!"

Qi Muzhu nodded, "Before the Emperor ascended to the throne, he was not the crown prince, but he still ascended to the throne. At that time, father was still the crown prince's tutor, but when the new emperor ascended the throne, he was conferred the title of a noble … "

"Father is the crown prince's teacher! Not bad, but if father didn't tell the emperor that the crown prince was going to set up an ambush at the east gate and finish off his people, then maybe the emperor …"

"Big brother, you're wrong." The corner of Qi Muzhu's lips curved up slightly, "Back then, even if Father didn't say anything, the Emperor was still the current Emperor."

"…" Qi Muyun clearly didn't understand the hidden meaning behind his words.

Qi Muzhu did not continue and instead looked at Qi Mujing.

Qi Mujing opened his eyes and said lightly, "Little Four is right. At that time, Father saw the result and that's why he chose to go with the Emperor. However, before his father could tell the Emperor about the scheme of the Crown Prince, the Emperor already knew. "However, the Emperor didn't say anything. After this matter was completed, he directly put all the credit for it on Father's shoulders. Then, after father's return a hundred years later, he conferred a title of nobility."

He remembered that the Emperor was only 14 years old that year, but he was extremely quick-witted and his thoughts were deep and difficult to fathom.

"But, what's the relationship between the emperor letting the Prince of Southern Cliffs stay in the manor and being conferred the title of 'Father'?" Qi Muyun was clearly a bit anxious.

"Eldest Brother, have you forgotten the relationship between the Prince and the Prince of Southern Viewing?" Qi Muzhu reminded him.

Qi Muyun was startled for a moment, then suddenly felt his back go numb as he said in shock, "The Crown Prince and Southern Landing King both came from the previous Empress, the Mu Rong family …"

"What?!" "King Nan Lin and the crown prince are one and the same mother …" Duan Qi Feng said in fear.

When Duan Qi Feng said this, everyone in the room fell into silence once again.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a flash of red dress pass by. Qi Mujing's eyebrows slightly raised, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously lifted into a smile, but her voice was hard, "Zhi'er, you've been standing outside for a long time, aren't you tired?!"

When everyone heard this, they all looked towards the door.

Shen Zhi Qiao's face reddened as she crawled out of the door, "I didn't hear anything."

Good boy, all of you are looking at her with eyes full of wonder.

Qi Mujing's handsome face twitched, "…"

Qi Muyun glanced at Shen Zhi Qiao, didn't say anything, and walked out with his head lowered.

Shen Zhiqiao had long since gotten used to Tang Wulin's indifferent attitude.

She smiled as she moved next to Qi Muzhu and wrapped her arm around his, pulling his body down a little bit more. She jokingly asked, "What does our Little Four eat everyday?" It's grown so tall. "

The thin breath of the woman beside him slapped him on the cheek, causing Qi Muzhu to blush. She was no longer as calm as before, and her pretty lips slightly moved, "Second Sister-in-law, I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first!"

He pulled his arm, but it didn't budge.

Qi Xiaofeng's face turned even redder as he turned to look at Duan Qi Feng, who was standing to the side.

Duan Qifeng shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he was unable to help. He did not want to be the one on fire. Which one of them didn't know of the Marquis' affection for his wife? That degree could only be described as outrageous.

He didn't forget that last time, it was precisely because he accidentally spoke a few more words with this marquis' wife that he accidentally amused this marquis' wife. In the end, a certain Darkish marquis drugged him and threw him into the illustrious male prison of Eastern Tomb City; his illustrious reputation was almost ruined.

Rubbing his frightened heart, he wondered if he still had any lingering fears even now.

Glancing at Qi Muzhu sympathetically, Duan Qi Feng nodded to Qi Muzhu and impatiently turned around to leave.

"General Duan …"
