C371 mutual probing (1/2)
This time, it was definitely against those from the palace. Mu Ru Yue's smile was the gentlest of times, so gentle that the butler couldn't help but take a few steps back. He felt that there must be something wrong.
However, the butler couldn't back down too quickly. Mu Ru Yue asked, ”Butler, this is?”
Mu Ru Yue asked. This question made the steward's stomach ache. How could Mu Ru Yue not know the aunt by the imperial concubine's side? However, if Mu Ru Yue pretended that she didn't know him, he had no choice but to cooperate. Otherwise, who knows what might happen in the future. Thinking this way, the steward then said respectfully, ”In reply to you, this is the first aunt of the ninth princess' mufei. She seems to have something to invite to the palace this time.”
”Invite me to the palace?” Mu Ru Yue raised her brows.
Compared to Aunt Yu's haughty attitude, this aunt did not have much of an imposing manner. Before this, she did not even have this kind of temperament. It seemed that Princess Wuyou had dealt quite a blow to the imperial concubine just two days after she had left the palace. Otherwise, at this critical juncture, the imperial concubine wouldn't be so desperate to find her.
Thinking about this, Murong Yue remained calm and collected. She only smiled and said, ”If the imperial concubine invites me, I naturally have to go.” Princess Wuyou and I have always been like sisters. Now that Princess Wuyou has disappeared, if I can accompany esteemed imperial concubine, then it would be considered as me doing everything that a friend should do.
This aunt will lead the way. Are there any carriages in the palace outside? ”
Mu Ru Yue said those words in a decent manner. The butler was stunned. This couldn't be the princess consort, right? How could she be so polite? Murong Yue didn't notice the steward's gaze.
In the eyes of these people, her image had never been better.
This aunt didn't expect that Mu Ru Yue would be so easy to talk to. She didn't even need to persuade her, nor did she need to think of how to put up a tough front. She already took the initiative to go with Mu Ru Yue. For a moment, the woman was slightly flustered.
But soon, she suppressed the panic in her heart and said to Mu Ru Yue, ”To reply to my wife, the carriage is already waiting outside.”
Mu Ru Yue nodded her head in satisfaction. However, when she went out and saw the carriage, she didn't look too good. The messy carriage landed right in front of the door. The wood on top of the carriage was somewhat dilapidated, as if it could collapse at any time.
The entire carriage looked like it was an ancient relic from hundreds of years ago.
What was going on? Weren't the people from the palace too powerful? In such a short period of time, this aunt had already received such treatment? It was cold and thin. Even though she had already experienced it when Princess Wuyou disappeared and they were still in the middle of the procession, it was now even more direct.
Seeing that Mu Ru Yue was shocked, her aunt felt slightly embarrassed. She then continued, ”Royal Concubine, please enter. Please forgive me for being like this in the palace. Once the master of a family was about to suffer, it would be this kind of treatment.
Thus, in the palace, everyone had to climb up. Because if he didn't climb up, what awaited him would be endless torture. From the moment our imperial concubine entered the palace, she had always been in this kind of environment.
If the imperial concubine has really done something to offend the imperial concubine, I hope that the imperial concubine does not mind. ”
The woman's voice was very gentle, but her words made Murong Yue feel incredulous. As she looked at the woman in front of her, she felt that this woman's personality was somewhat similar to that of the imperial concubine. When she spoke, she also liked to show her cowardice to others.
He was concealing all his advantages.
It was said that the current situation of the imperial concubine wasn't very good, but … What if Princess Wuyou found it? Or had the imperial concubine used some other method to turn things around? It was likely that everyone who mocked the imperial concubine would be dealt with by then, right?
As she thought about it, a smile appeared on Mu Ru Yue's face. ”From what aunt said, the relationship between Imperial Concubine and I isn't that deep. Where did the offense come from?” Furthermore, Wuyou is my best friend. I am also very sad that she has disappeared like this.
I share the same feelings as the imperial concubine. ”Alright, let's get on the carriage.”
