"Princess." Seeing that Mu Ru Yue stopped playing, Yun'er got up and greeted her. Mu Ru Yue then said, "Put the zither away."

"Yes, Princess." As soon as his words fell. He then began to retract his zither. After putting away the zither, Mu Ru Yue returned to her room and yawned lazily before falling asleep on her bed.

The night was just right, and outside the walls of the prince's mansion, the man was half-leaning on the wall, his expression indifferent. After the zither music stopped, he slowly straightened his body and walked in the opposite direction of the Seventh Prince's Estate.

"To think that a dignified crown prince would actually listen to others' guesses." A slightly mocking voice sounded out from behind the man. Hearing this, the man in front paused for a moment, then turned around and looked behind him. The one who spoke was a red-clothed man wearing a mask.

"Who are you?" Feng Qing's voice was cold and detached. He looked at the man in the mask and felt a little puzzled.

"Who I am is not important. What's important is that the Crown Prince did not return home in the dead of the night, and instead eavesdropped on the corners of other people's houses. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

The red clothed man said with a somewhat meaningful tone.

When Feng Qing heard this, a hint of gloom flashed through his beautiful phoenix eyes. After that, he said without any sadness or happiness, "Coming to the Moon Dynasty, whatever I do makes sense."

With that, he left.

The red clothed man looked at Feng Qing's back and coldly snorted. Then, he disappeared into the night. Feng Qing walked further and further away from the Seventh Prince's Mansion, but the pain in his heart was unbearable.

For some reason, he ran over here and stood in front of the door. He had originally wanted to enter to see her, but … Just as he was about to enter, he heard the zither music. Somehow, he didn't want to be disturbed inside. When the zither music ended, his impulsive thoughts also turned cold.

What was left was only endless chilliness.

Who would have thought that he would be seen by someone else! Feng Qing only felt a sweet taste at the back of his throat as blood oozed out from the corner of his lips. His face also turned pale. He staggered, moving farther and farther away.

The sun rose, bringing with it a sense of warmth.

When the peddlers should have just entered the market, there was already a carriage parked in front of the gate of the Seventh Prince's estate, ready to leave.

"Esteemed wangfei, are you sure you won't bring this servant along?" Outside the carriage, Yun'er asked the people inside worriedly. She was worried.

From Yun'er's point of view, if Mu Ru Yue entered the palace by herself and didn't have any skills, she would definitely be at a disadvantage. Normally, she wasn't allowed to cause trouble for the estate, but for matters like this, she could use force to protect the wangfei.

That was why Yun'er wanted to catch up.

When Mu Ru Yue saw Yun'er's worry, she hesitated for a moment before a respectful voice was heard. "Royal Consort, our esteemed wangfei said that you can only go alone today."

"Then, is it your esteemed empress dowager who's looking for me this time, or the empress dowager who's looking for me?" Mu Ru Yue asked unkindly. His gaze also fell on the person in the car.

It was a middle-aged woman dressed in brown. Her attitude was a lot more respectful than Aunt Yu, but she was still as tough as before.

When the woman heard Mu Ru Yue's question, she replied, "In reply to my wife, my imperial concubine asks you to go and summon the empress dowager. There are two matters. This is the reason why esteemed imperial concubine asked this servant to bring you to the palace so early. "

Oh?

Mu Ru Yue was slightly surprised. However, he still said to Yun'er who was outside: "If the people in the palace say it's inconvenient to bring you along, you should be born in the palace. "Besides, Esteemed Empress Dowager wouldn't do anything to a junior like me."

With that, Mu Ru Yue said, "Let's go."

"Yes." The woman inside the carriage ordered the coachman to drive the carriage. The carriage slowly headed towards the palace. Yun'er worriedly looked in the direction Mu Ru Yue left, unable to recover for a long time.

Seeing her like that, the butler who had been waiting at the door stepped forward and said, "Yun'er, don't look anymore." The prince wouldn't let anything happen to the wangfei. Rather than worrying about your wife, you might as well worry about yourself. "

"I already have nothing, what is there to worry about?" Yun'er bitterly smiled.

"The Nan Family sent over their wedding notes. It's Lady Linglong and …" "It's Young Master Nanyu's." As the butler spoke, he passed the card to Yun'er. Yun'er's face paled.

She looked at the butler in disbelief, her voice trembling. "This …" How was this possible? Didn't Linglong like the prince? "

"The prince loathes those who try to harm his wife the most." Lady Linglong also owes a debt of gratitude to the Nan Family, so this is the way the Nan Family has come up with … a way to protect Lady Linglong. " The butler explained.

"What kind of joke is this!?" Nan Yu! That person killed my child, tricked me into taking everything away, and even … and wanted me to die for that woman. "

The woman's face twisted as she said, "How did he get his wish?"

The butler sighed as he saw the girl. He knew that this would be the result of his conversation with her. However, if he didn't tell her and she found out in the future, she would definitely blame him.

"The wedding banquet is set for one month from now. That is when the prince will return from his journey south. I presume that he is the one who wants the prince to go to the main marriage." The butler continued.

Yun'er stood there dumbfounded, not saying a word.

"Yun'er, if you really want to take revenge, wangfei is the best choice. This is also why I was so thick-skinned and sent you here. That's all I have to say. Think about it a little more. " After saying that, the butler turned around and entered the mansion. Only Yun'er was left standing at the door in a daze.

Yun'er had never thought that she would face such a choice. She had gradually become less resentful when she was by Mu Ru Yue's side these past few days.

But at this moment, the butler's words reminded her of her previous despair. A cold wind blew at the entrance of the street, causing the woman's eyes to regain their clarity.

She turned around and returned to the manor.

The carriage stopped in front of the Imperial Palace. Mu Ru Yue was directly brought to the imperial concubine's residence. Along the way, the woman was carrying Mu Ru Yue along a small path. Even when they saw him, they would speak vaguely, as if they were afraid that Mu Ru Yue would be found out.

This made Mu Ru Yue extremely puzzled.

However, it was because of this that Mu Ru Yue was able to see the scenery of the imperial palace's small roads. Compared to the delicacy of the main road, these paths were quieter and more casual.

They quickly arrived at the imperial concubine's courtyard.

It was as quiet and simple as ever. Compared to the grandeur of the empress dowager's palace, it was like two completely different worlds. At this moment, the imperial concubine was not waiting in the room as she had the first time.

Instead, he carried the chaise longue and waited in the courtyard. There was no one by her side, as if they were waiting for her. This made Mu Ru Yue even more puzzled.

When the imperial concubine saw Mu Ru Yue coming over, her eyes lit up. She then turned in Mu Ru Yue's direction and left.

"Greetings, Imperial Consort." Mu Ru Yue said respectfully.

"There is no need for such formalities. I was forced to invite the wangfei here today. " After speaking, the imperial concubine led Mu Ru Yue into the courtyard. She then said to the girl, "Aunty, go guard outside. No matter who it is, don't let anyone inside."

"Yes, Empress." As the woman spoke, she went out to guard.

As for the imperial concubine, she pulled Murong Yue into her room. When Mu Ru Yue entered the palace and was pulled along with her, her heart sunk further.

Last time, the imperial concubine was still very calm, so how could she be like this today?

Just as Mu Ru Yue was wondering, the imperial concubine abruptly knelt down on the ground. Mu Ru Yue, who had been brash, hastily retreated as she glared at the imperial concubine. "What are you doing?"

A look of worry appeared on the woman's elegant face when she heard this. She said, "I would like to ask the wangfei to save my carefree life."
