As soon as I opened my eyes, I was dressed as a stepmother of two bear children

Chapter 201 Apologize
The next day, the sun was always shining brightly, and it was raining lightly in Nijia Kingdom, where the sky was always clear.

Luo Xuan'er was concerned about a small matter, so she simply got up early and waited in the post station, waiting for the envoy sent by Mu Ran to pick them up into the palace.

"Xiu Jin, why is your complexion not so good?" Seeing the man coming out of the guest room, Luo Xuan'er got up and looked at him with worried expression, "Didn't you rest well last night?"

"It's okay." Han Xiujin shook his head, but found that his head was dizzy. The light rain outside continued to fall, bringing a little refreshment.

"Oh, this is really blessed by the gods. It hasn't rained in this Nijia country for a long time!" The shopkeeper came in from outside the house, put the oil-paper umbrella aside, wiped the water stains on his shoulders, and said with a smile.

"Doesn't it often rain here?" Luo Xuan'er heard the words, turned her head and asked strangely, presumably it was true, since she arrived in Mozhou, she has not encountered rainy days, and the four seasons here are not distinct.

"That's right, the distinguished guests are not from the country of Nijia, so I don't know about it. After the epidemic, the gods sent rain to clean them up. I think it will be a good day in the future!"

The shopkeeper didn't care, and explained with a smile.

Luo Xuan'er nodded, although she didn't believe in the blessings of the gods, she naturally respected their beliefs when she went to the village to do as the Romans did.

"Envoy Han, Miss Luo, Commander Mu has prepared the carriage and will take the two of you into the palace."

Just as he was speaking, the leader of the guards dressed in black stepped forward through the rain curtain and bowed his hands in salute with a respectful expression.

Luo Xuan'er glanced at Han Xiujin, the man's face was tense, probably because of his anger, and he responded coldly.

The innkeeper handed over the oil-paper umbrella with a wink, Luo Xuan'er thanked softly, and left with Han Xiujin.

"Tsk tsk, I don't know when these people will leave." The shopkeeper looked at their backs and said to himself.

"Shopkeeper, are you expecting them to leave? But our inn has very little traffic, wouldn't it be good for them to stay for a few more days?" Xiaoer scratched his head in doubt and asked in puzzlement.

"What do you know! This is a distinguished guest! I wish they could stay for a few more days. When the border crossing market opens, there will be a steady stream of people staying in our inn! Every day makes a lot of money! No, I have to think about it and repair it. Fan, expand the store!"

The shopkeeper rubbed his hands, and left with a happy smile, leaving only the bewildered waiter. He didn't understand, but looking at the shopkeeper's appearance, he thought that the business at Sifang Station would definitely get better and better!
The carriage with wind chimes hanging at the four corners drove on the long street, making a crisp bell ringing, and the horseshoes splashing in the puddles caused a burst of water.

Soon, it stopped at the palace gate.

Entering the palace smoothly as usual, Han Xiujin stood side by side with Luo Xuan'er holding an oiled paper umbrella.

"Your Majesty, Envoy Han and Miss Luo have arrived." Mu Ran entered the study and bowed his head.

Hao Ke responded, his eyes were black and blue, and his face was obviously tired. The man dressed as a palace man knelt aside tremblingly and dared not speak.

"How is Xiao Xiao?" Hao Ke frowned. Last night, after Han Xiujin and others left, the guards in the palace found out the person who pushed him into the lotus pond. He was furious and interrogated himself until now.

"Report to the king, the little girl is fine," Mu Ran pursed her lips and said, "However, you haven't slept all night, you might as well go to rest first, I will personally explain the whole story to the Han envoy." Mu Ran showed worry.

"No need, let them come in." Hao Ke waved his hands, cheering up.

"Yes!" Mu Ran opened his mouth, but he still didn't say much after all, it's just that the king insisted on keeping the little girl in the palace and even as a concubine, did he really just want to fulfill the covenant and restrain Mo Hanguo?

Han Xiujin and Luo Xuan'er were already waiting outside, followed the palace servants to enter, and saluted hastily and not harshly.

Han Xiujin said bluntly, "Did King Ni Jia find the murderer?"

Hao Ke was not annoyed, and nodded seriously, "This person is the one who pushed the little girl into the lotus pond."

Hearing the words, the people on the ground buried their heads even lower, shaking like a sieve, and a pair of treacherous eyes rolled uneasily.

"Didn't your majesty just find someone to fool us?" Luo Xuan'er looked over, she was just an ordinary palace man, why did she want to harm Xiao Xiao, could it be that this Ni Jia country randomly found a scapegoat?
"Miss Luo, be careful, the king stayed up all night to investigate the incident of the little girl falling into the water." Mu Ran frowned, unable to listen, and argued.

"Mu Ran!" Hao Ke interrupted him, and said in a steady voice, "This person is Mrs. Ye He's palace servant, and he has confessed to being instructed by Mrs. Ye He to harm the little girl. After all, he has something to do with this king."

"Then what does Your Majesty intend to do?" Han Xiujin's attitude was indifferent, but his expression became more and more gloomy.

"This king adores the little girl, and he will never wrong her, Mu Ran!" Hao Ke said in a deep voice without changing his face.

"The minister is here!" Mu Ran folded his hands and waited.

"According to the king's decree, Mrs. Ye He despises the imperial prestige and has repeatedly harmed the nobles of Mohan country. She has served her for a long time. From now on, she will move to Tianshen Temple, meditate on her past, and will not be allowed to enter the palace for life!"

Hao Ke said every word without showing any pity on his face.

Everyone was stunned, and even Mu Ran didn't realize it for a moment. This Mrs. Ye He was once the most prosperous concubine of Shengfa, but she didn't expect to end up like this in the end.

Seeing that he should not respond, Hao Ke glanced at him coldly, with a displeased expression on his face.

"Yes! I understand!" Mu Ran came back to his senses, his tone became more respectful, and he was a little worried in his heart, wondering if the king's move would cause dissatisfaction.

Luo Xuan'er also opened her eyes slightly, with a complicated look on her face. She never expected that King Ni Jia could do this. Although Mrs. Ye He had vicious intentions, nothing really happened to Xiaoxiao. Such punishment seems a bit too severe.

"Satisfied with such a punishing envoy?" Hao Ke looked at him with a smile, but Luo Xuan'er felt gloomy no matter how he looked at it, and felt a chill.

"King Ni Jia is very observant and makes a fair decision, so Han has nothing to say." Han Xiujin smiled and spoke very calmly.

Hao Ke also had a smile on his face, as if he was sure that they would be satisfied with his actions.

"However," Han Xiujin elongated his voice and chuckled, "When the king wants to accept a little girl as his concubine, he may need to discuss with the king."

Hao Ke slightly suppressed his smile, and looked at Han Xiujin steadfastly. The latter said loudly, "The lady of the country is very worried when she hears about the little girl's distress. The lord has brought the lady of the country to Nijia country in person."

When Haoke heard this, the smile on his face didn't decrease, but he nodded with a smile on the contrary, "This king has long admired the name of the Lord of the Mohan Kingdom, and will definitely receive him with the highest courtesy of the Ni Jia Kingdom!"

Han Xiujin cupped his hands, "Presumably our lord is also looking forward to meeting your majesty."

The two had their own thoughts. After discussing, Luo Xuan'er went to see Xiao Xiao in person. She was already awake and her complexion improved a lot. She thanked Luo Xuan'er for showing a knowing smile, and blamed herself because she made the banquet fail to go on. Ashamed, Luo Xuan'er comforted softly.
