C138 reunion with an old friend (1/2)

What do you want her to say?

Naturally, he felt that Linglong Palace was not suitable to be the Crown Prince's concubine selection place! The empress thought to herself, but did not speak out to embarrass herself. If it was said that he wanted to trick Mu Ru Yue into not knowing the truth, then now?

That damnable woman, she probably already told Mu Ru Yue about it, right? Right now, Mu Ru Yue was probably being used by that woman to work with him, so how could she agree to his request? As she thought about it, the empress was infuriated.

However, thinking of his current situation, he suppressed his anger and said coldly, ”Nothing. Since that's the case, from today onwards, you will come to the palace to copy the scriptures ten times a day. Then, you will help me deal with the matter of the Crown Prince's Feast.”

Every day?

This time, Mu Ru Yue really had the impulse to fight it out with the empress. Fortunately, reason remained. Mu Ru Yue looked deeply at the empress, memorizing the matter in her heart before following Aunt Yu to her study.

Although he said it was a study, it was actually an empty room. Inside, there was a table, and on top of the table, there was a scripture book, ink, and paper.

”Esteemed wangfei, please be more serious. Esteemed empress dowager has to inspect it.” Aunt Yu said this before she closed the door. With that, she closed the door and even locked it. When Mu Ru Yue heard this, she felt her scalp tingle.

These people, it was as though they were teasing her!

Suppressing the rage in her heart, Mu Ru Yue helplessly walked to the table and started copying the scriptures. Gradually, his originally restless mood calmed down. There was no longer the anger and anxiety in his eyes from before.

Since she was already here, she might as well take care of it. Since those people wanted to show her some of their abilities, then what was the harm in her enduring a little bit until she reached the end line? If there was a chance in the future, it wouldn't be too late to take revenge.

Thinking like this, Murong Yu was able to easily copy out a scripture. In the midst of the silence in the room, there was a series of ”pa da da” sounds coming from above. Mu Ru Yue stopped writing after hearing that. Zhang Xuan looked at him doubtfully.

Unfortunately, the entire room was empty and nothing could be seen.

Suppressing her doubts, Mu Ru Yue continued to copy. She then heard the sound of someone knocking on the roof tiles again. A trace of wariness flashed through Mu Ru Yue's eyes. Although, it was unlikely for something like that to happen in the Imperial Palace that day at the Wushuang Palace.

But... What if the empress was really retarded?

With that in mind, Mu Ru Yue leaned against the wall, waiting to see what would happen. If the empress really planned on using Princess Wushuang's method to swindle her, she wouldn't mind returning the favor. Thinking this, the coldness in Mu Ru Yue's eyes intensified.

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, she heard a soft sound from the door, as if someone had already descended from above. Soon after, the door was pulled open with a brush. Mu Ru Yue became even more vigilant.

He looked towards the door with the brush in his hand tightly clenched. It seemed that if there really was a malicious person, he would first subdue them. Very quickly, the door was opened. Mu Ru Yue's eyes flashed with killing intent.

Just as he was about to make his move, he heard a familiar voice, ”What happened to be an empty house? Lock down the empty rooms, are all the people in this palace retarded? ”

Hearing this sound, Murong Yue held the brush she planned to use as a weapon and put it away. She leisurely said, ”You came to steal from the palace and even said that she was retarded. You really are unreasonable.”

With that, Mu Rong Yue walked out from the shadows. Under the light, he looked at the man as he walked in with a helpless look in his eyes.

”Oh? It's you again. This is such a coincidence. ” When he saw that it was Mu Ru Yue, his eyes were filled with joy. He pulled Mu Ru Yue along and said, ”I have to thank Seventh Princess for that White Peony last time.”

”What white peony?” Mu Ru Yue glared viciously at him before she feigned ignorance.

Hearing that, the man was first stunned, then he reacted with a laugh and patted his head, ”You think I have that kind of memory? I forgot the rules. Thank you, esteemed wangfei, for taking care of me the last time we met. However, why was the princess in this room?

I saw that it was locked here, and I thought that there was some treasure here, but it turned out to only be Princess Hua-Yang? ”

”I am copying Buddhist scriptures to improve my physical and mental health.” Murong Yue said with an expressionless face. So, she was the only one here, I'm really sorry!
