Chapter 1153: Chapter 1153: The Candidate for Future Queen Is Decided
In the future, it seems advisable not to allow my daughter to appear too much in public to avoid trouble.
Gu Jin understands the concerns of the Mu Family.
She had no intention of publicly revealing what had been kept hidden.
It’s just that Mu Zifeng caught her eye, and since the girl doesn’t have much time left, she called her over.
With so many people around, Gu Jin couldn’t conveniently talk to the Mu Family, so she whispered into the Family Head’s ear:
"Mu Zifeng doesn’t have much time left. If you want to save her life, you can come to me anytime."
Only the Family Head could hear these words; they were inaudible to those nearby.
His face changed dramatically, his pupils dilated as if he were greatly alarmed.
The people around, wise as they were, could sense something odd in the interaction between the Family Head and Gu Jin, but nobody ventured to inquire.
Everyone simply watched, their gazes fixed on Mu Zifeng.
The source of everything lay with this girl.
Unaware of what attracted attention to her, making Little Ninth Lord interested, the Family Head’s face was also telling; clearly, there was a hidden narrative.
The Family Head noticed the scrutinizing gazes around and instructed his eldest son: "Zifan, take your sister home." freewebnovⅇl.com
"Yes, Father."
Mu Zifan approached his sister and assisted her up from the sofa.
As the siblings passed Yu Shuo, he suddenly stood up.
A perfect smile curled on his lips, but his words caused the surrounding faces to subtly change.
"The future queen consort has been chosen."
Hearing Yu Shuo’s words, Gu Jin also displayed a slight surprise.
The Cabinet members showed obvious curiosity.
Everyone stared at Yu Shuo, eager to learn from him the identity of the future mistress of Chen Palace.
The Mu Family alone felt unsettled, watching Yu Shuo, outwardly unmoved yet inwardly hoping desperately for a name not to be uttered.
Yu Shuo, fixing his gaze on the girl being supported by Eldest Young Master of the Mu Family, slowly spoke: "Miss Mu from the Mu Family, Mu Zifeng."
The calm on Mu Zifeng’s face finally faded, staring incredulously at Yu Shuo.
The expressions on the Family Head and Mu Zifan’s faces were equally remarkable.
They looked as if they wished to grab Yu Shuo and give him a thrashing, a sight amusing to behold.
The Mu Family, being courtiers, couldn’t overstep boundaries; everyone was watching, and if they truly struck Yu Shuo, it would be a grave offense against the emperor.
Moreover, they were no match for this youthful prince already at the Golden Core Stage Cultivation.
Mu Zifan tightened his grip on his sister’s hand, his sharp eyes fixed on Yu Shuo, gritting his teeth: "Your Highness, my sister is not well."
The latter nodded knowingly: "I understand. Chen Palace has the best medical team, with a warehouse full of countless rare treasures and medicinal materials. I’m sure Miss Mu’s health will be well restored."
Seeing Mu Zifan about to speak further, Yu Shuo chuckled and said, "If the Mu Family disagrees, never mention the future queen selection again. Honestly, I tire of these matters.
You all know why this banquet is held today. I can oblige once, but there won’t be a second time in the future!"
With that, he beckoned to the attendant who had been assigned to him by Chen Palace.
The attendant briskly approached.
Yu Shuo softly instructed: "Bring the item out."
The attendant took out a small, exquisite box from his chest.
Yu Shuo accepted it, opened the box, revealing the verdant ancient ring inside.
He held the ring in his fingers, heading towards Mu Zifan and Mu Zifeng.
