C293 Royal Consort Request (1/2)

”Princess.” Seeing that Mu Ru Yue stopped playing, Yun'er got up and greeted her. Mu Ru Yue then said, ”Put the zither away.”

”Yes, Princess.” As soon as his words fell. He then began to retract his zither. After putting away the zither, Mu Ru Yue returned to her room and yawned lazily before falling asleep on her bed.

The night was just right, and outside the walls of the prince's mansion, the man was half-leaning on the wall, his expression indifferent. After the zither music stopped, he slowly straightened his body and walked in the opposite direction of the Seventh Prince's Estate.

”To think that a dignified crown prince would actually listen to others' guesses.” A slightly mocking voice sounded out from behind the man. Hearing this, the man in front paused for a moment, then turned around and looked behind him. The one who spoke was a red-clothed man wearing a mask.

”Who are you?” Feng Qing's voice was cold and detached. He looked at the man in the mask and felt a little puzzled.

”Who I am is not important. What's important is that the Crown Prince did not return home in the dead of the night, and instead eavesdropped on the corners of other people's houses. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?”

The red clothed man said with a somewhat meaningful tone.

When Feng Qing heard this, a hint of gloom flashed through his beautiful phoenix eyes. After that, he said without any sadness or happiness, ”Coming to the Moon Dynasty, whatever I do makes sense.”

With that, he left.

The red clothed man looked at Feng Qing's back and coldly snorted. Then, he disappeared into the night. Feng Qing walked further and further away from the Seventh Prince's Mansion, but the pain in his heart was unbearable.

For some reason, he ran over here and stood in front of the door. He had originally wanted to enter to see her, but … Just as he was about to enter, he heard the zither music. Somehow, he didn't want to be disturbed inside. When the zither music ended, his impulsive thoughts also turned cold.

What was left was only endless chilliness.

Who would have thought that he would be seen by someone else! Feng Qing only felt a sweet taste at the back of his throat as blood oozed out from the corner of his lips. His face also turned pale. He staggered, moving farther and farther away.

The sun rose, bringing with it a sense of warmth.

When the peddlers should have just entered the market, there was already a carriage parked in front of the gate of the Seventh Prince's estate, ready to leave.

”Esteemed wangfei, are you sure you won't bring this servant along?” Outside the carriage, Yun'er asked the people inside worriedly. She was worried.

From Yun'er's point of view, if Mu Ru Yue entered the palace by herself and didn't have any skills, she would definitely be at a disadvantage. Normally, she wasn't allowed to cause trouble for the estate, but for matters like this, she could use force to protect the wangfei.

That was why Yun'er wanted to catch up.

When Mu Ru Yue saw Yun'er's worry, she hesitated for a moment before a respectful voice was heard. ”Royal Consort, our esteemed wangfei said that you can only go alone today.”

”Then, is it your esteemed empress dowager who's looking for me this time, or the empress dowager who's looking for me?” Mu Ru Yue asked unkindly. His gaze also fell on the person in the car.

It was a middle-aged woman dressed in brown. Her attitude was a lot more respectful than Aunt Yu, but she was still as tough as before.

When the woman heard Mu Ru Yue's question, she replied, ”In reply to my wife, my imperial concubine asks you to go and summon the empress dowager. There are two matters. This is the reason why esteemed imperial concubine asked this servant to bring you to the palace so early. ”

Oh?

Mu Ru Yue was slightly surprised. However, he still said to Yun'er who was outside: ”If the people in the palace say it's inconvenient to bring you along, you should be born in the palace. ”Besides, Esteemed Empress Dowager wouldn't do anything to a junior like me.”

With that, Mu Ru Yue said, ”Let's go.”

”Yes.” The woman inside the carriage ordered the coachman to drive the carriage. The carriage slowly headed towards the palace. Yun'er worriedly looked in the direction Mu Ru Yue left, unable to recover for a long time.

Seeing her like that, the butler who had been waiting at the door stepped forward and said, ”Yun'er, don't look anymore.” The prince wouldn't let anything happen to the wangfei. Rather than worrying about your wife, you might as well worry about yourself. ”
