Princess Yun Rou's expression was extremely ugly. With her intelligence, how could she not understand what Mu Ru Yue meant?

This was clearly mocking her!

As she thought about it, the smile on Princess Yun Rou's face didn't waver as she sighed, "Seventh Princess' words are really too reasonable. However … We can't find the culprit behind that.

If there's no other way, then we can only take a step back. "

"What if I don't want to?" Mu Ru Yue's expression darkened as a trace of darkness flashed past her phoenix eyes.

Although he had already guessed that it was for this matter, he still couldn't endure the anger in his heart when he really met her.

"This... Seventh wangfei probably wouldn't go against Esteemed Empress Dowager's decree, right? " Princess Yun Rou said with a smile.

When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she looked at the empress dowager and clasped her hands. "Esteemed Empress Dowager, please see clearly. I'm unwilling to do this."

"You don't want to?" The empress dowager's smile faded as she looked at Mu Ru Yue. She raised her brows and said, "The son of that pitiful maid of mine died by your hand. Regardless of the reason why, at the very least, it is the truth.

"Yes." Mu Ru Yue asked.

"Since this is the case, you should at least repent for him. It was a life after all. " The empress dowager said coldly.

"But …"

"But!" Seventh wangfei, the ninth princess will take over. " The Empress Dowager said coldly.

Mu Ru Yue and Princess Wuyou were stunned. She hurriedly knelt down, while Aunt Yu took out a brocade box. The empress dowager took out an imperial edict from the brocade box and said, "With the blessing of the heavens, the emperor decrees that the Seventh Princess and the Ninth Princess shall die for their wrongdoings. People of the royal family should always cherish kindness and take this as a warning. "

With this edict, Mu Ru Yue's entire being didn't look good. Just for the sake of helping the princess' wet nurse's son, he even asked for an imperial edict?

How idle was the Empress Dowager? How obedient the Emperor was!

"Seventh Princess, accept the decree." The empress dowager said coldly.

"Yes, Mu Ru Yue receives the decree. Long live the Emperor, long live and long live the Emperor." Mu Ru Yue took the decree from the empress dowager.

"Alright, sit down first. "We'll wait for the Imperial Advisors to arrive before we start to make our plans." The empress dowager looked a little tired as she spoke.

State Grandmaster?

Mu Ru Yue was stunned as she made a guess. This... It couldn't be that the person who came to make the decision was the Imperial Advisor, right?

For the princess' wet nurse's son?

"Royal Grandmother, have you heard about the ancient scripture of the Peach Blossom Forest?" Princess Yun Rou suddenly opened her mouth.

"Peach Blossom Forest?" The empress dowager had some doubts as she was clearly unfamiliar with these places. Seeing this, Yun Rou continued, "Royal Grandmother, that place outside the city is called the Buried Immortal Hill."

Hearing this, the empress dowager's brows creased in dissatisfaction. "Why are you bringing up this place?"

"Royal Grandmother might not know this, but the chess board has recently been unraveled. And the first to be released will be the Seventh Princess. " Princess Yun Rou said gently.

"Oh?"

Hearing Princess Yun Rou's words, the empress dowager couldn't help but take another look at Murong Yue, sizing him up.

"Royal Grandmother, you might not know, but it's said that you can get a treasure map out of this. But that time … Seventh Princess only said that she saw a square of wine. " Princess Yun Rou's words were long and thought-provoking.

For a moment, all of the women present looked at Mu Ru Yue as though they had already confirmed that she had hidden the treasure map.

"There's such a thing?" The empress dowager frowned slightly, "Seventh Princess, the treasure map of the Peach Blossom Forest is very important to me when I come to the Moon Dynasty. If you get it, don't hide it in private."

Damn it!

Mu Ru Yue secretly cursed Princess Yun Rou in her heart. This woman couldn't get anything out of her. She was already in a desperate situation!

As she thought, Mu Ru Yue rose and said respectfully to the empress dowager, "Esteemed empress dowager understands that I'm already a member of the imperial household after marrying the prince. If I really get something valuable, then I'll naturally have to offer it.

But that day, I did indeed only have one serving of wine. "Because I like brewing wine, I didn't send this recipe out." Mu Ru Yue's attitude was extremely obedient.

"Brewing wine?" The empress dowager pondered for a moment before smiling. "In another month, it'll be my birthday. The empress asked who I'd like to choose for my wine. Since Seventh Imperial Concubine knows how to brew wine, then let Seventh Imperial Concubine come."

The empress dowager's words stunned everyone present. And then he began to gloat.

When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she became even more depressed. She knew that something bad was going to happen! This kind of thing, it was hard to get along with!

But no matter how unwilling she felt, Mu Ru Yue still said, "Yes, as long as Esteemed Empress Dowager doesn't mind."

"You brewing wine is a part of your heart, how could I dislike you? In comparison, since you've comprehended an ancient scripture, your chess skills must be outstanding, right? " Her Majesty continued.

What was this old woman trying to do now?

Mu Ru Yue was suspicious, but she still replied, "I just understand a little."

"Why are you being so courteous, Seventh Princess?" I haven't seen many who can decipher an ancient scripture. " Princess Yun Rou said.

There was a hint of ill intent in his words. She seemed to have lost her patience over this matter.

However, Mu Ru Yue could guess the reason. Princess Yun Rou had already paid a large price in order to obtain the treasure map from her.

When he saw that she didn't admit it, he even used magnolia flowers to play chess with her. Unexpectedly, the mechanisms in that place could only be used once.

If he used it again, the result would just be a waste.

Plus, Jin Chai's incident not too long ago. That golden hairpin was even sent to the auction by that bastard Chen Qing. When it entered the ears of the princess, naturally, it was unable to remain calm.

As she thought about it, Mu Ru Yue felt slightly more relaxed. She looked at the princess and replied calmly, "I was just lucky."

"Your royal father sent a girl who is well versed in chess to This Dowager. Since the Imperial Advisor hasn't arrived yet, why don't you compete with me, the Seventh Princess? If you win, I will spare you that girl Wuyou's confession.

If you lose, then give me your recipe. " Her Majesty spoke up.

When Mu Ru Yue heard that, her heart was moved. She looked at Princess Wuyou, who was standing beside her, not saying a word. However, when she heard those words, her eyes lit up.

Although she had come to this dynasty and entered this body, she did not understand the thoughts of the people of this era.

To her, repentance was only disgust. After all, it wasn't wrong. But in Wuyou's eyes, it was probably an insult, right?

After all, she was a member of the Jadeite Sect.

With that in mind, Mu Ru Yue replied, "Many thanks to Esteemed Empress Dowager for her benevolence."

"You haven't won yet." The Empress said, glancing at Aunt Yu. Aunt Yu then went to the inner room.

Soon, a lady dressed in white slowly walked out. She gave off a desolate feeling.

Standing here, it was as if a goddess had descended into the mortal world.

However, these were not the important points. The important point was that she had seen this woman at Nalan Yanran's house not long ago!

It was the person who had used the name of the Gate of Heaven to go to the Nalan clan and deliver the medicine for Nalan Ruo Ming. He was also the one who wanted to win over Nalan Ruan.

They were obviously from the gates of heaven, so why did they suddenly turn into the empress dowager's maidservants? A dark shadow was cast over Mu Ru Yue's heart. In her eyes, this was not a good thing. There were two possibilities for this woman to appear here.

One was that she would get something through the Empress Dowager. Secondly, she was already certain that the treasure map was in her hands.

If that happened, he would be in danger.

Judging from the current situation, the second method was more likely.

"This servant Han Lian greets the wangfei. Wangfei's … This really makes one feel good. " The woman bowed slightly, but the latter part of her words made Mu Ru Yue sigh with emotion. This woman seemed to have recognized her.
