Si Muyun said: "But, you haven't returned to the capital for more than ten years. This time, the emperor suddenly called you back. There must be something important. We are all closest to the emperor, so we must carefully understand the holy intention-"

Liu Yueze smiled and said, "So, being an official in the capital is a prominent and it is really hard to be a prominent official."

Si Muyun sat down and said, "I hope my brother will understand."

Liu Yueze smiled, sat opposite him, thought about the words, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty called me back this time, mainly to ask about the situation in Shu and the measures of the next part. I believe my brother is not interested in knowing these. There is another thing, Your Majesty asked Yan Ye and the people around him."

"Yan Ye..."

When Si Muyun mentioned this person, his face became solemn.

Of course he knew Yan Ye. Because of his uncle Si Boyan, the two met since childhood. Si Muyun didn't like this person very much. A talented person always became arrogant unconsciously. It was indeed not easy for people around him to like him. However, Si Muyun also knew that everything this person did in the country in the past years of his disappearance, including his later recovery of Bailong City and defeating King Nanli, was all his contributions, so his feelings for this person were also very complicated.

Suddenly, when he heard that the emperor asked about him, Si Muyun hesitated for a moment, but his mind was spinning very quickly.

"Is it related to Xue Yun?"

Everyone in the government and the people knew about Yan Ye taking Xue Yun away, and the people of the Si family regarded this matter as a taboo. After all, there were not many people and things that could truly affect the imperial concubine over the years. Xue Yun's appearance did cause some rifts between the emperor and the imperial concubine. The people of the Si family, as well as the Gu family, were very cautious.

Liu Yueze shook his head and said, "No, it's the woman named Xiu Yun."

Si Muyun's face suddenly sank.

After thinking for a while, he said hoarsely: "It seems that we are going to prepare for war..."

Liu Yueze glanced at him, but didn't say much, just said, "Okay, I can only say so much if I should say what I shouldn't say. After my brother goes back, he should also remind the teacher to be cautious. This is a big deal, and it may affect the national destiny of the entire Yan Kingdom, so you can't be hasty."

"I see."

Si Muyun immediately stood up, bowed to him simply, and turned around and walked out.

As soon as he walked to the door, he remembered something and looked back at Liu Yueze: "That princess..."

Liu Yueze smiled faintly and said, "Brother, I can't take care of that much. I have to pack my luggage and get on the road early tomorrow. My wife and children at home are still waiting for me."

Si Muyun glanced at him, smiled, said nothing, and left with a wave of his hand.

After leaving the inn, he got on the carriage.

Xinping was sitting inside with great worries. When she saw him getting in the car, she immediately straightened her back and said carefully: "Uncle..."

Si Muyun ignored her and just called her, and the coachman shook off the whip and drove the car to the direction of the palace.

The carriage was shaking, and the people inside were shaking, and Xinping felt even more uneasy. When she was just sitting in the carriage waiting for Si Muyun, she was like a prisoner waiting to go to the execution ground.

Seeing that Si Muyun ignored her, she carefully shouted: "Uncle."

Si Muyun glanced at her before saying, "What did the princess tell me?"

Xinping pursed her lips, put her hands on her knees in a regular manner, grabbed her clothes, and whispered: "Are you angry?"

Si Muyun said: "Why am I angry?"

Xinping thought for a while and lowered her head: "I'm angry with me, I shouldn't have left the palace and shouldn't have come to see the teacher."

Si Muyun looked at her for a while before finally taking a breath and said, "Since His Highness, the princess, knew that she shouldn't leave the palace privately and shouldn't come to see Liu Yueze, why did she do this?"

“…”

"Do you know how sad your father and your mother will be if something happens?"

Xinping hurriedly said, "I'm very careful and won't run around."

“…”

"I've thought it through clearly. I just came to meet and left as soon as I met. There would be no surprises."

Looking at his niece, although he was a princess with golden branches and jade leaves, thinking about her young age, Si Muyun felt a little soft in her heart. But he still said lightly: "Why is this for me?"

“…”

Xinping thought for a while and said, "I have made a wish for...."

“…”

Si Muyun looked at her.

After a while, he sighed, reached out and rubbed his hair, and said, "Uncle won't tell anyone, don't tell anyone. Liu Yueze - your teacher, he will set off for Xichuan tomorrow, where his wife and children are waiting for him. Today, this matter is broken with your teacher, and you will never mention it, let alone think about it. Do you understand?"

Xinping pursed her lips and nodded obediently.

So Si Muyun didn't say anything else. He half closed his eyes and just rested his mind.

The carriage staggered forward for a long time, and at this moment, a gentle voice sounded in his ears: "Uncle, what kind of place is Xichuan?"

“…?”

Si Muyun opened his eyes at once.

Xinping looked at him with a little curiosity, and seemed a little confused, and asked softly: "The teacher has been there for more than ten years. I often hear people say that Nishikawa has changed now. What did it look like before, and what does it look like now?"

Si Muyun couldn't help frowning.

He said, "As a princess, you shouldn't think so much. What Xichuan looks like thousands of miles away has nothing to do with you."

Heart pouted.

After a long time, she muttered silently: "I will go and see it myself in the future."

After a while, the carriage arrived outside the palace gate. Chu Yun helped Xinping down from the carriage. Si Muyun sat in the carriage, looked at the two of them, and then said, "Go back early, don't delay any more."

Xinping agreed obediently and took Chuyun into the palace gate.

Seeing their backs disappearing from the tall palace gate, Si Muyun breathed a sigh of relief, but then his expression became solemn again. From what Liu Yueze said to him just now, he had already guessed that His Majesty the Emperor was likely to use troops to the country, which was to quell the southern rebellion and the war that had been ignited again after finally achieving three years of peace in the country.

Moreover, the country...

He knew the weight of the other party very well. Even if the sea and rivers in Yan Kingdom are now clear and the country is coming to the court, and the prosperous scenes are like this, it cannot guarantee that they can win every battle. In the several battles against the country, although they have gained a bargain, they have never really and completely defeated the other party.

If it were Zhu Feng back then, perhaps he would have a great chance of victory.

But now...
