The Song Dynasty was the king for thirteen years before he knew that he was Tianlong.

Chapter 181 How to Repay
Bai Zhan arrived outside the mansion and looked at Mu Wanqing and said, "Young lady, please follow me. The king has summoned you."

Mu Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, for she had been afraid that someone from the prestigious Tianhuang Mansion would deliberately make things difficult for her, but she did not expect that it would go quite smoothly.

"Thank you, General." She lowered her head slightly, remembering what Duan Zhengchun and Qin Hongmian said, to abide by the rules and not look around randomly.

After going up the stairs, he followed Bai Zhan carefully into the door. After walking a few steps, Tong Guan, who was strolling in front of him, saw this and said, "Guard Bai, what are you doing..."

Bai Zhan said, "This girl came from Dali to see the king. The king asked to be brought to the front hall to meet her."

Tong Guan looked at Mu Wanqing and blinked his eyes a few times: "I'll take her there. Guard Bai, aren't you going out? Go get busy now."

Bai Zhan nodded: "That's great, then I'll leave it to Daofu."

Then he said to Mu Wanqing, "This is Manager Tong. You can go with him, young lady."

Mu Wanqing saw Bai Zhan turn around and leave, and suddenly felt a little nervous. She glanced at Tong Guan and lowered her head slightly.

Tong Guan smiled and asked, "What's your name, young lady?"

Mu Wanqing said: "My last name is Mu."

Tong Guan walked in front with his hands behind his back and said, "Miss, you are from Dali. I heard that place is very nice, with beautiful mountains, beautiful waters, beautiful flowers, and everyone can sing folk songs."

Mu Wanqing didn't know what he meant, so she said, "Probably..."

Tong Guan smiled and said, "My prince is very bored in the mansion every day. It would be better if there were more girls from outside. My prince likes to listen to music, so I think he would like folk songs."

Mu Wanqing was stunned, wondering what the manager meant by this. Why did it sound so strange...

When they reached the hall gate, Tong Guan said, "I will go and report. Please wait a moment. By the way, why are you wearing a veil? You cannot cover your face when you meet His Highness."

Mu Wanqing couldn't help but pause when she heard this, and murmured, "Can't I hide my face?"

"Of course not, otherwise wouldn't it be a crime of disrespect?" Tong Guan shook his head, knocked on the door and entered the hall.

Mu Wanqing stood there in a daze. It was impossible for her to take off her veil. She would marry the first man who saw her face. Otherwise, she would have to...

After a few breaths, Tong Guan came out: "Miss Mu, His Highness asked you to come in, why are you still wearing a veil? You should take it off quickly to meet His Highness..."

"I, I..." Mu Wanqing was so confused that she subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away. But then she thought that this was her only hope to find Zhao Ti, and her legs felt heavy as if they were filled with lead.

She struggled to move forward, thinking that this thousand-year-old man should not be an unreasonable person, otherwise her father would have told her about it before coming and asked her to be careful. Then, if she explained it to him, he might not blame her.

If he was really blamed, he would have no choice but to run away. As for taking action, he absolutely could not do that. He did not know whether he could escape from the heavily guarded palace.

Seeing Mu Wanqing still wearing her veil and walking into the hall in a daze, Tong Guan shook his head and followed her in. However, he saw Zhao Ti waving at him from inside, then he stepped out and closed the door gently.

Mu Wanqing had already entered the hall by then. She was startled when she heard the door closing. She calmed herself down, raised her eyes slightly, and vaguely saw someone sitting on the main seat on the table in front of her.

Duan Zhengchun had once told her that it was disrespectful to look at someone directly, and this was a taboo. She did not dare to look up at him at this moment, and saluted and said, "I, Mu Wanqing, pay my respects to the King of Yan."

A majestic voice came from the front: "Are you the daughter of the King of Zhennan of Dali?"

Mu Wanqing was embarrassed when she heard this. Her father's surname was Duan, but her own was Mu. However, it was not easy to explain in detail at this moment. She could only say, "That's right, but due to some reasons, our surnames are different."

A majestic voice in front asked, "Why are you in Tokyo?"

Mu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, thinking, hasn't the letter already explained everything? Why is she still asking? Could it be that her father wrote too much and the other party was bored and only read the beginning and the end?
She said, "I came to Tokyo to look for a friend, but there are so many people here that I don't know his address. I beg the King of Yan to help me."

The man in front of him said, "Tokyo City has a permanent population of hundreds of thousands. Even if I help you check the household registration names, it will take you several months to complete it alone." Mu Wanqing was delighted when she heard this. It seemed that this prince was indeed very powerful and could actually check the household registrations one by one. Not to mention several months, she would have to check it herself even if it took a year or two: "I am not afraid of a long time. As long as I can find friends, I will do it no matter how long it takes."

The man in front was silent for a moment, then said, "I am familiar with your father, so I am curious to ask, what kind of friend would make you go to such lengths and trouble, and even have your father come forward and write a letter to ask for help from me?"

"He is... a very important friend of mine." Mu Wanqing's heart skipped a beat and she said, "He owed me a horse and has not returned it yet."

There seemed to be a chuckle in front of him: "You owe me a horse? I have many good horses here, all of them are famous breeds. I think you might as well pick one and take it back, so as to save the trouble of looking for people to ask for the owed horse."

“No, no…” Mu Wanqing hurriedly shook her head: “I don’t want the horse from Qiansui’s mansion. I only want it from that friend.”

"This is what you said you didn't want..." someone in front seemed to mutter in a low voice.

Mu Wanqing was stunned and said, "I really don't want it, I..."

The man in front coughed lightly: "What is your relationship with that friend? I'm afraid you won't go to such great lengths to find a horse, right?"

Mu Wanqing blushed slightly behind her veil when she heard this: "We are just friends."

"Just friends?" There was a sound of fingers tapping on the table in the front.

"A very close friend..." Mu Wanqing's voice gradually became lower.

"How deep is it?" asked the person in front.

"He, he saved me..." Mu Wanqing bit her red lips lightly behind her veil.

"I see." The man in front said, "Then we should look for him carefully. We should repay his life-saving grace with gratitude."

Mu Wanqing's eyes flickered when she heard this. She felt that the tone of the Prince of Yan was a little strange. Although his voice was extremely majestic, she couldn't tell what was wrong with his words.

"Yes, I want to repay you..."

"Then you're still thinking about what horse you want." The man in front said unhappily, "Have you thought about how to repay me? Will you repay me with your body, or in the next life? Repaying me in the next life is a bit too perfunctory."

"Ah?" Mu Wanqing was suddenly embarrassed, thinking how could this thousand-year-old man ask such a question? As an elder, such words are too frivolous. Although she is an outsider, how can she say such a thing?

"Why don't you take off your veil when meeting me?" a voice suddenly came from the front.

"I, a commoner, have my own reasons." Mu Wanqing was shocked. She didn't expect the other party to mention this matter again.

"What's your reason? What reason can be greater than disrespecting this king?" A voice in front of him snorted coldly: "Take it off."

"I, I don't want to..." Mu Wanqing said in shock, "Your Highness, please listen to my explanation."

"What is there to explain? Take it off and show it to me, otherwise I will punish you for disrespect and put you in jail. You will have to take it off even if you don't want to." The man in front said lightly.

Mu Wanqing was immediately panicked and took a step back: "Your Highness, please listen to my explanation..."

"What use are reasons in front of me? Do I have to do it myself?" The person in front seemed to stand up, and then he heard footsteps and walked towards this side.

Mu Wanqing was frightened and pale. She didn't care about the disrespect of staring at him and looked up quickly.

Then she saw a familiar figure that had haunted her several times in her dreams, walking towards her with a smile on his face. For a moment, she could not help but be stunned...
