The imperial concubine's voice carried a trace of helplessness, but when Murong Yue heard it, her smile didn't waver in the slightest. "Empress, you're joking. Actually, all of this was just something that I agreed to while my mind was in a fluster.

After all, this sort of thing could not be messed with. The imperial court placed such great importance on this matter. If we were to send Princess Wuyou away just for our personal reasons, making it so that the commoners would not be able to escape the war, then we would be sinners. Isn't it? "

Mu Ru Yue didn't hesitate to give the imperial concubine a hat. The imperial concubine's face darkened, but she still said, "Perhaps I am old, and only hoped that I could make my daughter feel better. That's why I made those preposterous words.

But, was it really you who brought Wuyou away? "

"Of course not, I haven't had the chance." Mu Ru Yue rejected decisively. The imperial concubine was thoroughly infuriated. She was certain in her heart that it was Mu Ru Yue who had done this!

If not for this, this person would definitely not have come over.

What Murong Yue didn't know was that while she was probing the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine was also scheming against her. At this moment, the imperial concubine was certain that Mu Ru Yue had done it, so she didn't intend to reveal it.

Right now, the situation was best that it was getting bigger and bigger. Only by doing so would it be beneficial to her. If it ended too early, the Emperor would definitely convict her. At this time, she still had a chance to find him.

No matter what, Wuyou will marry her! This was her fate!

The imperial concubine thought in her heart.

On her face, the imperial concubine was still as gentle and patient as before as she said, "That's good. I'm afraid you did something you shouldn't have done. If it were you, you could have saved me. It's good as long as there's nothing wrong."

The words of the imperial concubine made Murong Yue feel extremely amused. Right now, the imperial concubine was almost unable to control herself, but she was still able to put up such a front. This was truly amazing.

Mu Ru Yue only drank a cup of tea at the imperial concubine's place before being sent out of the palace by her aunt. His aunt said with an apologetic look, "Princess, our imperial concubine has said that we cannot entertain you properly today. She will even treat you to tea in the future. At that time, I will definitely properly entertain you.

It is inconvenient for you to stay in the palace, but it is already late, and the palace gates are being guarded.

With that, the aunt turned and left in a hurry. Only Mu Ru Yue was left behind. She stared at the carriage, which was as fast as a person's walking. The guards at the entrance looked at her disdainfully, before turning around and leaving.

She was not interested in harming others, but at the same time, she was not interested in adding insult to injury.

Currently, she was absolutely certain that the reason the imperial concubine had spoken to her that day was because she wanted to betray her. The imperial concubine was absolutely not a person who could frankly accept defeat. Otherwise, they would not have met like today and there would not have been any questions.

The moment her question left her mouth, she admitted one thing, and that was that she was essentially unwilling to part with him.

With Mu Ru Yue's clear thoughts, she then headed for the main street. It was already late at night, so Mu Ru Yue decided to head back later. At this time, within the imperial palace, the imperial concubine was sitting on a chair, her face revealing traces of exhaustion.

There was even a trace of self-mockery. Soon, eldest aunt returned. After returning, he knelt in front of the imperial concubine and said, "Empress, this servant has already finished following your instructions."

"Mm, that's good then. Next, go and invite someone from the Hollow Valley for the best. We have to find it. " The imperial concubine said coldly.

Hearing that, the eldest aunt was stupefied. "Empress, how should we find them? The Moon Empire was so big, who knew where the princess would find them? If the princess were to change her appearance, what would happen? "

To this aunt's words, the imperial concubine scoffed, "No worries would escape. This is beyond my expectation, but she was born to me. This girl is great in everything, the only thing is that she remembers kindness too much.

"Mu Ru Yue helped her for so long, so before she can help Mu Ru Yue, Wu You definitely won't leave the capital. So, let the people from the Void Valley come here and just investigate the entire capital. If they encounter any suspicious cases, just prevent them from changing into masks and skin them!"

The imperial concubine's voice was still very gentle, but when she said those words, it made people shudder. Who could imagine? This esteemed imperial concubine, who looked very gentle despite being torn, could be so casual towards other people's faces.

It was as if … They didn't care about the lives of others at all. They didn't think that other people's future held any meaning at all.

Eldest Aunt's heart trembled, however, she had to fulfill her master's request no matter what. She thought in her heart and respectfully said to the woman, "This servant will do as you bid."

"The empress dowager is a sly old fox who only wants to cooperate after seeing the results. But if I had the ability to do so, why would I look for an old woman?"

Originally, I didn't want to make things too bad. After all, if I were to be found out, I wouldn't be able to take it. However, if I don't be ruthless, if I don't invite people from the Void Valley, I'm afraid that this time, I will really be finished. Thus, I had already said that these children wouldn't be able to fight over their debts. I painstakingly raised her, but when I turned around, I received a slash that caught me off guard.

This man-eating palace, yet she left me here alone. "

As the imperial concubine spoke to here, her words even contained a trace of hatred. The eldest aunt didn't dare speak. Her esteemed imperial concubine had always been like this. If anyone interrupted, they might even be granted death.

It was also because the imperial concubine had too many rules that she couldn't win over the hearts of the people. In the esteemed imperial concubine's eyes, people like Mei Fei weren't even worth mentioning. But now? The unrated ones, on the other hand, were all riding imperial concubines. This was all caused by the departure of the ninth princess from the palace.

If she was the imperial concubine, she would also be angry.

The matters of the royal family couldn't be judged. After the eldest aunt finished packing up for the imperial concubine, she respectfully took her leave and went to do the other trivial matters. When he was doing this, he was like a machine, but he didn't complain at all.

In the imperial city of the coming month, the night was always the most beautiful. As the Peony Festival had just ended, many of the decorations in the city had yet to be dismantled. There were still many lanterns in the imperial city, and some merchants were willing to light up their lanterns and invite guests in.

Hence, the streets of the Royal Capital were bustling with activity today.

As Mu Ru Yue walked on the street and looked around, she saw that there were many peddlers and some even selling midnight snacks. The dragon and lion dances also walked past someone's door, and it was extremely lively. Occasionally, he would even meet couples. They were all wearing masks or cloaks, afraid that others would know their true identities.

Looking at these people, Mu Ru Yue couldn't help but smile. Her entire attitude became much better. With such a good mood, Mu Rong Yue walked towards the direction of the Seventh Marquis' Mansion. There weren't many people on this road. After all, not many people would be willing to be neighbours with the Seventh Prince. That would be risking his life.

Therefore, no matter how lively the other places were, the front of the Seventh Marquis' Mansion would always be a bit more deserted.

Just as Mu Ru Yue was lamenting, a figure ran over from afar and charged straight toward her.
