C138 reunion with an old friend (2/2)

Hearing this, the man burst out laughing. ”I'm afraid that Princess Hua-Yang has been punished.”

”Shut up!” Murong Yue looked at the man in front of her with disgust. The current him was wearing a black robe, but his clothes were a bit loose. His collar was pulled down and his figure could be vaguely seen.

Looking at her appearance, if it was anyone else, Murong Yue would have felt that she was sexy, but this person in front of her?

Mu Ru Yue looked at the man's rogue smile, but didn't feel anything.

”Princess doesn't seem to like me. Last time, if I didn't help, I'm afraid someone would have found out.” We've worked together before, can you not be so cold? ” The man said with a faint smile.

Mu Ru Yue looked at him and said, ”Forget about what happened last time!”

”That will depend on whether wangfei is willing to help or not.” The man said meaningfully.

Help?

Mu Ru Yue was stunned. Then he heard the man say, ”To be honest, I entered the palace in hopes of finding something from the empress.”

”You should go to the empress's quarters to find something. You should ask the empress for help.” Murong Yue scolded with an expressionless face.

”Don't be so cold.” The man opened the folding fan in his hand. Murong Yue only saw two words written on the fan: account book. She couldn't help but be puzzled.

”This is what I am looking for. Truth be told, the last time I ran into the princess' mansion, it was truly an accident.” I thought that this thing would be hidden by Princess Wushuang. Even the hiding place of the White Peony within the Princess' mansion doesn't have an account book. ”

The man was very depressed.

”What account book?” Mu Ru Yue's interest was piqued.

When the man heard this, he laughed. His gaze was deep, but it carried a trace of seriousness. ”An account book that can destroy the queen's minions.”

Who had Mu Ru Yue hated the most recently?

Excluding going to the Mu Rong family's residence, there was no doubt that he would be the empress! Ever since she entered the palace for the first time, the empress had no good intentions and almost tricked her to death. Thus, when Mu Ru Yue heard that it would bring misfortune to the empress, her eyes lit up.

However, he didn't make a decision. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and said, ”Oh?”

Seeing that Mu Ru Yue didn't seem to believe him, the man continued, ”This humble one was entrusted by someone to look for this account book. Three years ago, in the Queen's family, she took advantage of the Southern Plague and coveted the money. In order to get a hold of the family's affairs, the Queen made an account of the matter and used it to take back the family. ”

”Has the empress gone mad?” Mu Ru Yue felt disbelief. After a normal person becomes greedy, they must destroy the evidence, right?

”It's not that the empress has gone mad, it's that... She had to. If it wasn't for that, how would she be able to hold onto the position of Empress? ” There was a trace of ridicule in the man's voice.

Mu Ru Yue had to admit to that. It's not that simple to be a queen. However, this seemingly retarded empress still had such thoughts? Mu Ru Yue felt that she had underestimated the empress.

However, the most suspicious person at the moment was this man.

”You talked about the Empress. Then, who are you?” Mu Ru Yue looked at him warily. Last time, when they were at Princess Wushuang's Palace, this person had beaten the person outside the door senseless and then separated the peonies with her. This matter had already caused her to be on guard. Who would have thought that they would meet again so soon. Furthermore … Coincidentally, it was like a scheme.

”Princess is really careful.” It was obvious that Mu Ru Yue was suspicious of him. The man did not get angry. He only said, ”I am only entrusted with the task. ”Princess, why would you know my identity?”
