Senior Servant Qu was ordered to go to the Cold Flower Palace to check, and returned after a short while to report, "Grand Princess, I just received news that Su Yuyi had hanged herself, and there were two wounds on her neck. She must have been strangled by someone, and then hung the ceiling beam."
Grand Princess Yi De lightly tapped the table."It seems that someone set up a trap to lure you here and then kill you to silence you."
"But why are you luring me over to talk about those things? When I heard what Su Yuyi said, I must have a bad mood. I might even come to find Grandmother and ask her about it."What is the purpose of this?" No need to panic, just do what you have to do these past few days. When the time comes, we will block the incoming attacks, and when the time comes, we will stop and wait for the person behind us to make a move." "I have let down many people in my life, but I am the only one who is right.
"Emperor, I believe that the Emperor will not ignore the affection of our siblings for so many years, and will believe the slanderous words of the vile." Mu Yunyao nodded."Grandmother, do we need to inform him of Demon King Yue's situation? Let him know how to prepare. Since someone already found out about his background and ordered Su Yuyi to tell me, it must be because he wanted to make this big. His Highness King Yue valued his mother greatly, if she dared to act rashly ...
"I might not be able to stand it if I were to learn of the truth of the past..."
Grand Princess Yi De slowly shook her head, "What happened that year ...... It was a scar in the Emperor's heart that could not be touched ... Yao'er, Grandmother cannot tell you what happened now. She can only say that unless the Emperor himself speaks, you must not mention this to the Emperor.
"... Yes, Yunyao understands." Returning to her room, Mu Yunyao had been in a bit of a daze the entire time.
"Leave it here for now. You can leave first."
"Yes."
When she was the only one left in the room, Mu Yunyao's brows tightly knitted together."Wei Jiu, are you there?"
After a moment, Wei Jiu quickly entered the room and greeted, "Greetings, master."
"Do you know the truth of what happened at the Cold Flower Palace today?"
"Replying to Master, this Subordinate will stay by your side to protect you. The affairs of the imperial harem will be monitored by other people. If Master wants to know, this Subordinate will immediately investigate." "Yeah, go and check it out." If this were to happen, then perhaps it would shake the entire country. Moreover, from the meaning behind Su Yuyi's words, it seemed like she wanted to draw disaster onto her grandmother, so there must be an even bigger scheme behind this. She wanted more ...
Investigate and be prepared in advance.
Lying on the bed unable to sleep, Mu Yunyao simply sat at the table and waited. She waited for nearly half an hour before Wei Jiu returned: "Master, this servant has already investigated everything. The person who secretly ordered Su Yuyi to request a meeting with you and said those words was the third prince's mother, Fei Hou.
Mu Yunyao raised her head as a cold ray of light flashed across her eyes."Precious Consort?" The Third Prince had already completely become a cripple. Was Consort Zhen planning to bring down someone even in the face of death?
"Yes, Imperial Concubine Qi felt that Su Yuyi's death was strange, but she didn't announce it. She had already ordered someone to pull her out of the palace and bury her."
Mu Yunyao's brows furrowed for a moment before she shook her head slightly."Have someone pay close attention to the movements of Consort Zhen's side. If there's any news, report it immediately." Su Yuyi no longer had a title on her and even caused the Emperor to loathe her. Even if they found out that it was Jinx Fei who killed her, it would be easy for her to cover up this crime. Right now, she had already sensed that something was amiss. If she kept others watching her, she could prevent something from happening. If she were to alert them, she could say ...
When the time came, it would be even harder to guard against it.
"Yes." After Wei Jiu agreed, he saw that Mu Yunyao didn't have any other instructions, so he retreated outside to conceal himself.
Mu Yunyao waited for Jinfei to make her move, but in the next period of time, the imperial harem was especially peaceful. Other than Imperial Concubine Li occasionally finding fault with the imperial concubine, there were no other incidents.
In the previous dynasty, however, the censors had been playing more and more frequently. Every day, people would kneel outside the imperial study to listen in on her affair with King Fu.
Mu Yunyao watched as the medicinal food was cooked and carefully packed into the food box before instructing Jin Lan to send it to the imperial study.
Not long after, Jin Lan ran back."Miss, news came from Eunuch Li's side, saying that Prince Fu was in his study requesting an edict from the emperor, begging him to grant you marriage. The censors are now kneeling on the ground, extremely agitated."
Mu Yunyao moved her brow, "Got it, what is Grandmother doing now?"
"There are a few pots of chrysanthemums sent over from outside the palace. The Grand Princess likes them very much. At this moment, she is enjoying the flowers with Madam."
"Let's go take a look as well."
"Yes." Jin Lan saw that her young mistress looked calm, and her flustered mind gradually calmed down. With the support of the emperor and Grand Princess Yi De, there shouldn't be any problems with this marriage.
Grand Princess Yi De took some water and dipped her finger in it. She gently sprinkled it on the chrysanthemum, and when she saw Mu Yunyao approaching, she smiled, "Yao'er is here. Quickly come and take a look at this pot of flower."
Mu Yunyao considered carefully for a moment, then said with a smile, "The flower that's blooming is really beautiful. Many of the heavily colored chrysanthemums are called Inulin, but most of them are either purplish-red or dark purple. This basin of thick silk petals is completely ink-colored, it's extremely rare."
Grand Princess Yi De couldn't help but laugh."If you like it, Yao'er, then get someone to move it back to your room."
"Last year, when I was still in the Su Clan, the Third Prince sent someone to give me two pots of chrysanthemums, a basin of fiendish-faced beauties, and a basin of white gulls. I took care of them and put them in a warm room, but unfortunately, I was still unable to support Dong Ri." Grand Princess Yi De dipped her face in water and once again lit up the petals of the chrysanthemum."The demoness and the white gulls move in waves, this can be considered interesting, but the Third Prince is grounded, and no one is allowed to visit him. Since that's the case, then I'll just send the chrysanthemum over to Jinx and give her some respect.
Let her be idle when she has nothing to do
"I'll give it to you as a reward."
"Yes." Senior Servant Qu ordered the maidservant to move the flowers over."Won't Her Highness the Grand Princess give the flower pot a name?"
Grand Princess Yi De looked at Mu Yunyao."Yao`er, do you have any good ideas?"
Mu Yunyao pressed her lips together, smiled, and said: "We don't fight for beauty in spring, we don't fight for beauty in spring. Each flower was as deep as a fist and as cold as the autumn wind. Even the stamens of the flowers are black. Why don't we call it Mo Xin? "
Mo Xin had fallen for her, so it was just right for her to give it to Jinfei. Senior Servant Qu's face was full of smiles."Yes, your servant will have someone deliver it to consort Zhen's palace right away."
