The Legend of the Resourceful Princess

Returning to the courtyard, Mu Ru Yue carried her things and headed directly to her own courtyard. When she entered, she saw the butler standing there like a gatekeeper. Yun'er's expression didn't look too good either.

If that was the case, Mu Ru Yue didn't think much of it. The most important thing was that the butler still had a bit of anxiety on his face. This made Mu Ru Yue slightly worried.

Without waiting for Mu Ru Yue to reply, the two of them stepped forward to greet her as soon as they saw her return.

"Princess, you've returned. Miss Ling Xi is waiting for you in her room." Yun'er hurriedly said. However, the butler replied, "Royal Concubine, that Miss Ling Xi has a problem."

"What nonsense are you talking about!?" Miss Ling Xi is someone at the side of an imperial concubine. " Yun'er glared at the steward. She had been arguing with the steward over this matter from the very beginning. The steward insisted on chasing her away, while Yun'er had her men stay behind.

Mu Ru Yue didn't expect the two of them to argue over the Spirit Creek. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she said, "Butler, please speak first. Yun'er, you can be quiet for now." As soon as Murong Yue finished speaking, the butler glanced at Yun'er with a complacent look, like an old child. He then respectfully said to Murong Yue, "Royal Concubine, this Miss Ling Xi has never been noticed by this old servant. But this time … But the old servant remembered.

This Miss Ling Xi is 80% similar to the woman who poisoned the prince! This old servant suspects that there is some connection between them, so I would like to request that the wangfei to make a decision now and dispose of this person. "

The person who poisoned the seep?

Mu Ru Yue was also stunned for a moment. If she remembered correctly, the ones that poisoned the phoenix seep seemed to be those who specialize in poison. Those people should be far away in the Southern Wilderness. Yet, Ling Xi had come from Thousand Leaves. Wait, Thousandleaf?

The Southern Wilderness in the coming month was indeed close to Thousandleaf.

Thinking of this, Mu Ru Yue's expression darkened. It was impossible for a housekeeper to lie about such matters. But Ling Xi didn't seem to know any sort of poison, much less the respect Uncle Zhang had for her.

Mu Ru Yue believed in the butler, but she didn't doubt her companion who had accompanied her for such a long time. Thus, he asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes. If esteemed wangfei doesn't believe me, just ask any of the other princes in this estate who are like this old servant to come. They can absolutely testify." the butler said.

"Then why haven't I heard you speak of it before? This is not the first time that Ling Xi has come here. Furthermore, if there really is a problem, then Your Highness should have investigated Ling Xi before, so why didn't you ask me? " Mu Ru Yue's gaze landed on the butler.

The butler heard this and started sweating. After being pressed by Mu Ru Yue, he replied with a bitter smile, "It was the prince that didn't allow me to ask you. The prince said that he believed you wouldn't harm him, so there's no need to ask about such small matters.

But, wangfei, the prince's poison has already been around for many years. If we don't get rid of it soon, something might happen. The prince doesn't care, but this old servant doesn't dare to ignore it. "

At this point, the butler fell to his knees with a thump. Mu Ru Yue's heart was filled with complex emotions from his serious appearance. The steward was only thinking about Feng Zhi, and she could not refuse.

But Ling Xi?

Mu Ru Yue frowned slightly. Just when Mu Ru Yue felt that she was in a difficult situation, she heard a creaking sound as the door to the room opened. A lady with tattered clothes walked out from the room.

The woman's face didn't show much emotion, but it was filled with vigor. Mu Ru Yue was surprised to see Ling Xi in such a sorry state.

"Miss Ling Xi, why did you come out!" Yun'er was the one who was the most worried. Upon seeing Ling Xi come out, she couldn't help but want to push her back. However, Ling Xi avoided Yun'er and said with a smile, "Thank you for your good intentions Yun'er, but …" There are some things that I should be clear on, but I can't give the wangfei any trouble. "

"What is going on?" Seeing Ling Xi's appearance, how could Murong Yue not know that Ling Xi was hiding something from her? On the other hand, Ling Xi bitterly smiled as she said, "Royal Consort, in fact, if I didn't hear the butler from your house say anything, I wouldn't know either."

Back then, I should have had an elder sister by my side. However, due to some reasons when I was escaping, in the moment between life and death, my grandfather chose me instead of her. After that, I always thought she was dead. The two of us are twins. I didn't tell you, Princess, I just thought it was a dead man. However, when it comes to the poison of the prince, I do not know anything about it. As for the words that this servant said, they truly have nothing to do with me. "

Ling Xi's attitude was extremely sincere. However, the steward said angrily, "Princess, this is impossible! How could there be such a coincidence in this world? "

Hearing that, Murong Yue smiled helplessly. "But there really is. This Miss Ling Xi has been living in the Royal City's refugee district since childhood. That is to say, we know each other in the Southern City. It is also because of the land in the Southern City. Currently, she's working under me. If this Miss Ling Xi is someone who has the ability to hurt Feng Chen, how could she be under me?

Furthermore … Housekeeper, if you don't believe me, why don't you try it out? For example, kill her? "

Mu Ru Yue's gentle voice made the butler shudder. Although his words were moving, if he really did make a move and this girl was injured by his hand, then he would really lose the chance to speak up in front of the wangfei.

This was not worth it.

The butler looked at Ling Xi with some hesitation, but gritted his teeth and said, "This old servant will take his leave now."

With that, she left with some unwillingness. After they left, Ling Xi heaved a sigh of relief, "I had thought that he would really make a move."

"How could that be? The butler is a wise man, and he will not fall out with me, the Seventh Princess, for such a thing. He was the person in the Prince's Mansion that valued unity the most. As for you, Ling Xi … "It really did surprise this wangfei."

Mu Ru Yue said meaningfully.

Hearing this, Ling Xi kneeled onto the ground with a thump. "Esteemed wangfei, although I've hidden the truth from you, I definitely have never made a move on you and have no idea about this matter. I hope that you don't ask any further."

"Since I have protected you in front of the butler, I must believe you. But Ling Xi, my trust won't always exist. You have lied to me time and time again. If there is a next time, the fate between you and me will be over. "

Mu Ru Yue's words caused Ling Xi's face to turn pale.

When Mu Ru Yue saw her current appearance, she felt dissatisfied and even curious as to who she was. But in the end, she didn't say anything and just said, "Alright, tell me. Why have you come to find me?"

"Esteemed wangfei, there's news from the other side. They set a time for us to go to Mount Baijing at sunset three days from now. There is a temple on the mountain, and it is there that the transaction is going to take place. " Ling Xi said somewhat nervously. She was afraid that Mu Ru Yue wouldn't be willing to help him because of what had happened earlier.

"In three days?" Mu Ru Yue thought for a moment and nodded. If she were to head south at this time, she would need a few days to prepare. This way, she would still have time to prepare before she went to save someone after meeting White Mirrorjade.

Thinking about that, Mu Ru Yue replied, "I know. I will be there in three days. As for what they want, just give it to them. "

When Ling Xi heard this, she heaved a sigh of relief. But then, she thought of another reason she had come today. She bitterly said, "Princess, the person you wanted me to pick up has arrived. However, this young master Qingzhu wants to see you no matter what."

Ling Xi helplessly said.

"Oh?" Mu Ru Yue was stunned. The young master of the Divine Artisan Sect had already come?

"He wants to see me now?" Ling Xi nodded helplessly, "If it wasn't for this, I wouldn't have come here so early. This young master came yesterday night, and after he arrived, he said that he wanted to see you. If I didn't see you, he would definitely not have started working.

"What else? There is something important that I must tell you."
