Chapter 164 The Queen Mother He Escaped Again 13
Regent's Palace.
It was already late at night when Xiao Muhuai brought Lu Huaiyuan back.
After the two men shook off the people who were surrounding and chasing them, they took many turns before reaching their destination.
The two of them climbed over the wall and entered the house, which scared everyone in the mansion.
When the housekeeper saw Xiao Muhuai coming back, he hurried to greet him.
"My Lord, you are finally back."
The housekeeper paused and continued, "You don't know, we've been so worried about you for so many days without any news."
As he said this, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Lu Huaiyuan, with some doubt in his expression.
There was no malice in this man's eyes, so Lu Huaiyuan didn't say much.
And it was obvious that Xiao Muhuai had no intention of clearing up the housekeeper's doubts.
He just nodded and asked, "Has anything important happened during the time I was away?"
The butler shook his head: "Your Highness, nothing important has happened in recent times."
As he spoke, he paused and looked at Xiao Muhuai with some hesitation.
Seeing his strange expression, Xiao Muhuai said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
The butler hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's nothing, actually. It's just that some time ago, His Majesty sent people to inquire about your whereabouts several times."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Muhuai paused, then continued walking forward.
He seldom stayed in Beijing, so he didn't have many acquaintances.
Therefore, it is normal that no one comes to visit.
But Jun Chengyan's behavior made him feel a little strange.
He usually had an average relationship with His Majesty and they had no interaction.
In the last few meetings, he could vaguely sense the other party's vague hostility towards him.
He had thought it was his own illusion before, but now he thought that things might not be that simple.
Thinking of this, Xiao Muhuai subconsciously looked at the person following him.
Noticing his gaze, Lu Huaiyuan raised his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Xiao Muhuai said, "I just feel that I have implicated you."
"There are people chasing me outside now. If you show your face in front of them, I'm afraid you will be targeted by them as well."
He lowered his eyes slightly, his tone still tinged with self-blame: "For your safety, I have no choice but to inconvenience A Yuan and let him stay in the palace for the time being."
Lu Huaiyuan smiled and said, "Your Highness, this is wrong."
"I'm just a commoner. It's a great honor for me to live in the palace. How can I say I'm wronged?"
Hearing him say this, Xiao Muhuai stopped and turned to look at him with a serious expression: "What A Yuan said is wrong."
"You are my savior, so you deserve the best. Why bother with the word 'honored'?"
After Xiao Muhuai finished speaking, the housekeeper beside him couldn't help but look at Lu Huaiyuan again.
He didn't expect that the other party had such an identity, and he felt more respect for Lu Huaiyuan.
Lu Huaiyuan and Xiao Muhuai argued back and forth about the issue of identity.
The two of them talked as they walked, and there was an inexplicable atmosphere around them that no one else could interfere with.
Butler: Who am I? Where am I? Do I need to follow?
He stood there, hesitating for a long time.
It was not until Xiao Muhuai called for help that he followed quickly.
-----------------
The people in the palace worked quickly and arranged everything quickly.
Xiao Muhuai followed the housekeeper out, leaving Lu Huaiyuan alone in the room.
After surveying the area around the room, he raised his hand and created a barrier for himself.
Lu Huaiyuan glanced around the room, then found a chair that looked comfortable and sat down.
He leaned back in his chair and released the system instead.
After the people who surrounded them appeared, the system was locked in a small dark room.
