Mu Mingtang blushed before she quickly got out of Xie Xuanchenâs arms and stood up quickly. Now no longer holding onto her, he asked with a different expression, âWhy are you hiding?â
Mu Mingtang was embarrassed, âThere are still people watching.â
âWhy should you care?â Xie Xuanchen still stepped forward to hold Mu Mingtangâs hand, but his other hand was naturally placed to protect her back, âThe court celebration is not continuing, so I will send you back home .â
âHow about you?â
âIâll come back later. I can only rest assured as long as I send you back properly.â
Unknowingly, the gate of the Fuqing Palace was already full of people. Jiang Mingwei and many female relatives watched Mu Mingtang rush towards Xie Xuanchen. Xie Xuanchen had caught her as she leaped across the steps without even looking at anyone else. He just came here to protect Mu Mingtang and left. Judging from the direction they were heading, they should be leaving the palace.
âI donât know the strength of the army for the time being,â Xie Xuanchen said before he suddenly thought of something and smiled meaningfully, âBut I know the leader of the army. Speaking of which, he is an acquaintance.â
Mu Mingtang was surprised as she guessed in a flash, âYe Luyan?â
âThatâs right,â Xie Xuanchen nodded lightly and the smile on his lips seemed almost mocking, âHe was the one who spied on the news on the Shangyuan Festival, the one who negotiated the peace and now, he is the one who attacked the border. The Ye-Rong peace agreement was a joke from the start.â
Mu Mingtang also sighed helplessly. Not long ago, the Ye Dynasty officials swore that they âhad a peace agreementâ, but in the eyes of Beirong soldiers, this agreement was a piece of waste paper from the beginning.
Thanks to the Emperor and the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty who tried their best to negotiate a âpeace treatyâ, they nearly sold off a lot of their currency as tribute fees. At this point, only heaven knows if they regretted their decisions.
Mu Mingtang didnât know if the Emperor would regret, but she knew that he had definitely ruined a good portion of his reputation with his decision.
