C297 Unrelenting Yun Rou (1/2)

Princess Yun Rou's expression was extremely ugly. With her intelligence, how could she not understand what Mu Ru Yue meant?

This was clearly mocking her!

As she thought about it, the smile on Princess Yun Rou's face didn't waver as she sighed, ”Seventh Princess' words are really too reasonable. However … We can't find the culprit behind that.

If there's no other way, then we can only take a step back. ”

”What if I don't want to?” Mu Ru Yue's expression darkened as a trace of darkness flashed past her phoenix eyes.

Although he had already guessed that it was for this matter, he still couldn't endure the anger in his heart when he really met her.

”This... Seventh wangfei probably wouldn't go against Esteemed Empress Dowager's decree, right? ” Princess Yun Rou said with a smile.

When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she looked at the empress dowager and clasped her hands. ”Esteemed Empress Dowager, please see clearly. I'm unwilling to do this.”

”You don't want to?” The empress dowager's smile faded as she looked at Mu Ru Yue. She raised her brows and said, ”The son of that pitiful maid of mine died by your hand. Regardless of the reason why, at the very least, it is the truth.

”Yes.” Mu Ru Yue asked.

”Since this is the case, you should at least repent for him. It was a life after all. ” The empress dowager said coldly.

”But …”

”But!” Seventh wangfei, the ninth princess will take over. ” The Empress Dowager said coldly.

Mu Ru Yue and Princess Wuyou were stunned. She hurriedly knelt down, while Aunt Yu took out a brocade box. The empress dowager took out an imperial edict from the brocade box and said, ”With the blessing of the heavens, the emperor decrees that the Seventh Princess and the Ninth Princess shall die for their wrongdoings. People of the royal family should always cherish kindness and take this as a warning. ”

With this edict, Mu Ru Yue's entire being didn't look good. Just for the sake of helping the princess' wet nurse's son, he even asked for an imperial edict?

How idle was the Empress Dowager? How obedient the Emperor was!

”Seventh Princess, accept the decree.” The empress dowager said coldly.

”Yes, Mu Ru Yue receives the decree. Long live the Emperor, long live and long live the Emperor.” Mu Ru Yue took the decree from the empress dowager.

”Alright, sit down first. ”We'll wait for the Imperial Advisors to arrive before we start to make our plans.” The empress dowager looked a little tired as she spoke.

State Grandmaster?

Mu Ru Yue was stunned as she made a guess. This... It couldn't be that the person who came to make the decision was the Imperial Advisor, right?

For the princess' wet nurse's son?

”Royal Grandmother, have you heard about the ancient scripture of the Peach Blossom Forest?” Princess Yun Rou suddenly opened her mouth.

”Peach Blossom Forest?” The empress dowager had some doubts as she was clearly unfamiliar with these places. Seeing this, Yun Rou continued, ”Royal Grandmother, that place outside the city is called the Buried Immortal Hill.”

Hearing this, the empress dowager's brows creased in dissatisfaction. ”Why are you bringing up this place?”

”Royal Grandmother might not know this, but the chess board has recently been unraveled. And the first to be released will be the Seventh Princess. ” Princess Yun Rou said gently.

”Oh?”

Hearing Princess Yun Rou's words, the empress dowager couldn't help but take another look at Murong Yue, sizing him up.

”Royal Grandmother, you might not know, but it's said that you can get a treasure map out of this. But that time … Seventh Princess only said that she saw a square of wine. ” Princess Yun Rou's words were long and thought-provoking.

For a moment, all of the women present looked at Mu Ru Yue as though they had already confirmed that she had hidden the treasure map.

”There's such a thing?” The empress dowager frowned slightly, ”Seventh Princess, the treasure map of the Peach Blossom Forest is very important to me when I come to the Moon Dynasty. If you get it, don't hide it in private.”

Damn it!

Mu Ru Yue secretly cursed Princess Yun Rou in her heart. This woman couldn't get anything out of her. She was already in a desperate situation!
