Mu Qiutang was startled, as if he didn't expect Lin Qingran to ask him so bluntly about meeting Lin Yu yesterday, and he couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

"Ms. Lin is worried. Yesterday, I did find Mr. Lin and asked about the Hanlin Academy. Miss Lin asked specifically because she was worried that my identity would bring some trouble to Mr. Lin, right? I'm sorry, it's me. I didn't think about it well yesterday, so I went straight to Mr. Lin, because I was a little anxious at the time."

Lin Qingran stared at Mu Qiutang seriously and felt slightly relieved when she realized that his expression did not seem to be fake.

The aroma on the tip of her nose came again. Lin Qingran's eyes fell on Mu Qiutang's eyes, and suddenly a thought flashed through her mind.

[Wait a minute, the fragrance on Mu Qiutang’s body is really familiar. I seem to have smelled it somewhere before! 】

【Where is it? The more I think about it, the less I can remember it. Could it be that I am hallucinating? 】

Mu Qiutang's heart skipped a beat, a little worried that Lin Qingran would find something, and now that the master was in front of him, the feeling was different.

Fortunately, Lin Qingran didn't think about it in the end. Her attention shifted to Mu Qiutang's words just now, and he was relieved.

But it was related to Lin Yu's safety, so Lin Qingran naturally had to take it seriously. It was not certain whether Mu Qiutang was an enemy or a friend.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent, and neither Lin Qingran nor Mu Qiutang spoke immediately.

Just at this time, Xiao Wu came over with tea. He silently placed it on the stone table, then stayed not far away and did not go down any further.

When Lin Qingran saw this, she knew that Xiao Wu was Mu Qiutang's confidant, so there was no need to avoid their conversation.

The tea was placed on the table, and Mu Qiutang poured a cup for Lin Qingran slowly.

"The tea I serve here is not comparable to other places in the palace, nor to the tea in the Lin Mansion. It is just some crude tea made by myself. If Miss Lin is not used to drinking it, there is no need to force it, and don't wrong yourself." Mu Qiutang Smiled.

Lin Qingran picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The tea was indeed a little rough, and even a layman like her could feel it.

"It doesn't matter, just think of it as a change of taste. You can still drink coarse tea." After Lin Qingran said that, he took another sip.

Mu Qiutang was quite surprised, thinking that Lin Qingran would refuse, "Ms. Lin's temperament is quite good."

Both of them avoided Mu Qiutang's words just now and focused on tea. After chatting for a while, Lin Qingran returned to the topic.

"With all due respect, I don't know that Mr. Mu has any important matters in the Hanlin Academy that he needs to talk to my eldest brother so urgently. Moreover, in a place like a palace banquet where people talk so much, Mr. Mu must not harm my eldest brother. Ah. You must know that my eldest brother represents not only himself, but also the entire Taishi Mansion. When Mr. Mu talks to my eldest brother alone, doesn't he tell others that my Taishi Mansion has a close relationship with the eldest prince of the Yun Kingdom?" Lin Qingran road.

I have to say that Lin Qingran's words are not unreasonable, well-founded and to the point.

Mu Qiutang did have such thoughts, but now facing Lin Qingran, he couldn't speak out.

In desperation, he could say it in another way.

"To be honest, Miss Lin may not know that I will be entering the Hanlin Academy next, and I will take over some of the matters in Mr. Lin's hands. Maybe Miss Lin is confused, as a hostage of the Yun Kingdom, how can I be in this position? He served in the imperial court of Tianyuan Kingdom, but this is the fact." Mu Qiutang replied.

Talking to Lin Yu alone and being noticed by others will save Mu Qiutang a lot of trouble in the future.

Even if he just entered the Hanlin Academy, he would not be bullied.

Looking at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face, no matter what, he took over Lin Yu's affairs. Lin Yu also explained so much, so that he could complete the first task assigned by Xiao Heng.

In this regard, Xiao Heng gave him a back door and turned a blind eye to the fact that he was looking for Lin Yu. After hearing this, Lin Qingran pondered for a moment and understood Mu Qiutang's concerns.

In fact, Mu Qiutang's method is somewhat similar to the modern method. Many modern people do it before taking office. To put it bluntly, they are a little worried that they are not doing well enough, so they are like this.

Thinking of Mu Qiutang's original identity and status in Tianyuan Kingdom, it was hard for her to say anything.

"So, I hope Mr. Mu will be loyal to Tianyuan Kingdom when he is in office, and don't let my eldest brother be implicated." Lin Qingran said frankly.

[Although Mu Qiutang's life experience is pitiful, it does not mean that I can accept that he harmed the entire Lin family. Therefore, when something goes wrong, I must protect the Lin family. 】

[It’s really strange to say that, why does the dog man have to help Mu Qiutang? Even if they were friends, they wouldn't be arranged to attend the court of Tianyuan Kingdom. He was too careless to be the prince, right? 】

[How can you allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the couch? If a place like the Hanlin Academy allows protons from an enemy country to enter, I'm afraid all the officials will object. What kind of move is the dog man making? 】

Before Xiao Heng reached the yard, he heard Lin Qingran say this.

There was no room for others to snore and sleep on such a bed. Lin Qingran was giving him more and more surprises, which made Xiao Heng feel a little regretful.

It's a pity that Lin Qingran is not a man, otherwise she should have done something in the court, not to mention her literary talent is so good.

Mu Qiutang picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea to suppress the shock in his heart.

I didn't expect Lin Qingran's mind to be so clear. Fortunately, she was not a man, otherwise he might not have had the chance to get close to Xiao Heng, who was a strong competitor.

"Ran Ran, why did you end up here at Qiu Tang?" Xiao Heng broke the silence in the yard.

When Lin Qingran heard Xiao Heng's voice and looked over, her eyes lit up. She probably didn't expect that Xiao Heng would come to see her in person.

"Your Highness is here to pick up Miss Lin." Mu Qiutang smiled.

It was the tone of his voice that seemed a bit joking.

"Brother Prince is here. I accidentally got lost and came to Mr. Mu." Lin Qingran said a little embarrassed.

[I didn’t expect the dog man to come to pick me up. It really surprised me. For the sake of him being so nice, I’d better scold him less in the future, so as not to make myself embarrassed. 】

[But does it mean that he actually cares about me a little bit? 】

Lin Qingran was thinking this and didn't notice the expressions on the faces of Xiao Heng and Mu Qiutang. One was embarrassed and helpless, while the other was looking forward to the show.

"Okay, let me take you back. Don't disturb Qiu Tang here." Xiao Heng said.

"Ranran understands, brother Prince." Lin Qingran nodded obediently.

Although she and Mu Qiutang were in the courtyard, and there was a third person there, it would not be a good thing to say that she, the future princess, had stayed with the proton for too long.

Lin Qingran stood up and suddenly smelled the fragrance of Mu Qiutang again.

The next moment, her expression changed drastically.
