The Legend of the Resourceful Princess

After all … If she was, yet she did not reveal the truth. She had even hidden her chess pieces and her identity. That could only prove one thing. She knew who he was, and she even hated him. This was something he absolutely could not tolerate.

Qing Xun thought as he stood up to welcome Mu Ru Yue.

"Many thanks to wangfei for coming." Qing Xun's posture was very low and his voice was gentle. Just as the people of Peony City had said, he was a gentle and smart and strict Mayor.

Even Mu Ru Yue couldn't help but admire Qing Xun's acting skills.

In his previous life, he only lied to her, but in this life, he was able to deceive people from a city. It could only be said that his Deception skill had improved.

Mu Ru Yue didn't try to hide the mockery in her eyes as she looked into Qing Xun's eyes. This gaze made Qing Xun's heart turn cold. The conjecture in his mind was turning into reality. This person … Maybe it really was her.

Qing Xun suppressed the panic in his heart and said to Mu Ru Yue, "Princess, please take a seat. It was rude of me to invite the princess and the crown prince to offer sacrifices to the king, but I had no choice.

"You two possess very high statuses. If I am to not have you two come here, it would likely cause the citizens of the city to be unconvinced, and even the masters of the surrounding cities to be unconvinced."

Qing Xun had the most wronged look on his face.

Mu Ru Yue felt her teeth ache as she listened, but since Feng Qing was still here, she didn't have the right to speak. Feng Qing didn't show it on her face like Mu Ru Yue. She just said coldly, "It's alright, it's convenient to meet others."

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness."

Qing Xun said gratefully.

"The mayor is not telling us about the sacrificial ceremony?" Mu Ru Yue opened her mouth as well. The man was stunned at first, but then he chuckled and said, "I am confused. My Peony City's Heaven Sacrifice is in the Ancient Tree District, because that ancient tree was here even before Peony City was established.

Actually, the procedure was quite simple. As long as the wangfei and the crown prince went to burn some incense on the altar, it would be fine. If the incense is lit, it means that our Peony City will also be blessed by the heavens this year. "

Qing Xun explained.

When Mu Ru Yue heard this, she felt her teeth ache. 'What heaven? Isn't the person who doesn't believe in gods and buddhas the most, Qing Xun?'

This person only believed in himself and still had the right to do so. It was all thanks to these words that he did not feel any lingering fear. This time, she didn't reveal anything, Mu Ru Yue thought to herself. She had originally planned to make this person doubt her identity, but it was not to confirm her identity.

She had to make Qing Xun's heart feel like it was on edge. He didn't know if he should kill her or not.

However, she was also betting on those things because she was not certain whether this person loved her or his own memories. Perhaps in his eyes, what he wanted was only an empty shell, a … You can love his empty shell.

It wasn't Mu Ru Yue.

If there was anyone in this world who knew Qing Xun, it would probably be her, right?

After many years of being dependent on each other, they trusted each other. Even though they had been betrayed in the past, they had no choice but to admit that they had both been very serious in the past. Unfortunately, right now, she had to kill him, and he … He would definitely not let her off.

This was the best result.

Mu Ru Yue thought to herself. She was even beginning to look forward to this day.

After today, she would thoroughly bid farewell to her past.

"If your two esteemed guests agree, then let's set off now. The Peony Grand Meeting is coming soon, so it's not good to delay it too much. " Qing Xun looked at Feng Qing and Mu Ru Yue and suggested.

Mu Ru Yue nodded as Feng Qing stood up as well.

After they left, Mu Ru Yue looked at Yun'er and said, "Yun'er, since today is the grand gathering of Peony City, you should head out to play as well. You don't have to stay by my side. As for when you come back, it's up to you to be happy.

"Or maybe …" Mu Ru Yue didn't finish her sentence and just looked at Yun'er.

Yun'er helplessly nodded, "Yes, this servant understands."

The interaction between Mu Ru Yue and Yun'er had attracted the attention of Qing Xun, who was standing to the side. Qing Xun looked at Mu Rong Yue and said with a smile, "Princess's treatment of her subordinates is really unrestrained."

"After all, she is a servant left behind by the prince. It wouldn't be good if she is too harsh on me. Moreover …" I shouldn't need her to take care of me today. After all, there's still the Mayor here, isn't there? "

Mu Ru Yue's voice was gentle.

People couldn't say anything.

Qing Xun's heart skipped a beat as he smiled and nodded.

Soon, the three of them got into the carriage.

Qing Xun was one of his carriages while Mu Ru Yue was arranged to be with Feng Qing and Mu Ru Yue. After getting on the carriage, only the two of them looked at each other. Mu Ru Yue looked at Feng Qing and opened her mouth. He heard the man speak first, "Be careful with everything that happens today. I don't want all of them to listen to Jun Ruo's words. He cannot be trusted. "

Feng Qing's voice was very light, but it was also very serious. Mu Ru Yue naturally wouldn't neglect Feng Qing's suggestion. She nodded and replied, "I know. Your highness is the same. Be careful. Even though it was dangerous for me and Jun Ruoruo, your highness had to act as a restraint in the City Lord's Mansion. Only then would it be dangerous. Furthermore … If something were to happen to you, I'm afraid none of us will be able to escape. "

Mu Ru Yue said.

Feng Qing was stunned when she heard this. Looking at her, he could not help but have a feeling that it would be good if he died just like that. If he died, no matter what reason his royal father had, he would probably let her bury him alive, right?

In this life, she would only be his.

However, this thought only flashed through his mind for an instant. He still didn't want to die so quickly. After all, the dead her was far from being as beautiful as the living her. If those eyes were no longer filled with life, wouldn't he be disappointed as well?

"Your Highness?" When Mu Ru Yue saw that Feng Qing was a little distracted, she couldn't help but wave her hand in front of him.

Feng Qing came back to his senses when he heard this. He looked at Mu Ru Yue and said, "I …"

"Your Highness, what are you thinking about?"

"I will be fine. There is no one in Peony City who can keep me here. However, if you are caught, perhaps everything will be different." No matter what, I will not give up on you.

If you want to escape, then don't let them catch you. "

Feng Qing said indifferently.

What he said made no sense. Mu Ru Yue's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't say anything. She just nodded.

The carriage descended into silence.

The City Lord's Mansion wasn't too far away from the Ancient Tree District. Soon, the group arrived at the Ancient Tree District. Yesterday, when Mu Ru Yue went to the Ancient Tree District, she didn't look at it too carefully. Now, everything that entered her eyes after she got off the carriage made her sigh in admiration at the grace bestowed upon her by nature.

Most of these trees had been alive for thousands of years.

The flowering of the ancient trees last night had given her a huge shock.

The altar was held on an ancient tree that had been broken off for some reason. The altar could hold around ten people. On the altar, there was a huge incense burner and a fragrant aroma could be smelled from the side. The altar was about the height of a person. On one side was a ladder.

At this moment, the ancient tree area was also full of people, but most of these people were local people. Only the local people cared more about the Heaven's Sacrifice. As for the others, they only liked the beautiful scene of the Peony Assembly.

and... This was the exchange of information within the Peony City.
