C372 Contention (1/2)

The imperial concubine's voice carried a trace of helplessness, but when Murong Yue heard it, her smile didn't waver in the slightest. ”Empress, you're joking. Actually, all of this was just something that I agreed to while my mind was in a fluster.

After all, this sort of thing could not be messed with. The imperial court placed such great importance on this matter. If we were to send Princess Wuyou away just for our personal reasons, making it so that the commoners would not be able to escape the war, then we would be sinners. Isn't it? ”

Mu Ru Yue didn't hesitate to give the imperial concubine a hat. The imperial concubine's face darkened, but she still said, ”Perhaps I am old, and only hoped that I could make my daughter feel better. That's why I made those preposterous words.

But, was it really you who brought Wuyou away? ”

”Of course not, I haven't had the chance.” Mu Ru Yue rejected decisively. The imperial concubine was thoroughly infuriated. She was certain in her heart that it was Mu Ru Yue who had done this!

If not for this, this person would definitely not have come over.

What Murong Yue didn't know was that while she was probing the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine was also scheming against her. At this moment, the imperial concubine was certain that Mu Ru Yue had done it, so she didn't intend to reveal it.

Right now, the situation was best that it was getting bigger and bigger. Only by doing so would it be beneficial to her. If it ended too early, the Emperor would definitely convict her. At this time, she still had a chance to find him.

No matter what, Wuyou will marry her! This was her fate!

The imperial concubine thought in her heart.

On her face, the imperial concubine was still as gentle and patient as before as she said, ”That's good. I'm afraid you did something you shouldn't have done. If it were you, you could have saved me. It's good as long as there's nothing wrong.”

The words of the imperial concubine made Murong Yue feel extremely amused. Right now, the imperial concubine was almost unable to control herself, but she was still able to put up such a front. This was truly amazing.

Mu Ru Yue only drank a cup of tea at the imperial concubine's place before being sent out of the palace by her aunt. His aunt said with an apologetic look, ”Princess, our imperial concubine has said that we cannot entertain you properly today. She will even treat you to tea in the future. At that time, I will definitely properly entertain you.

It is inconvenient for you to stay in the palace, but it is already late, and the palace gates are being guarded.

With that, the aunt turned and left in a hurry. Only Mu Ru Yue was left behind. She stared at the carriage, which was as fast as a person's walking. The guards at the entrance looked at her disdainfully, before turning around and leaving.

She was not interested in harming others, but at the same time, she was not interested in adding insult to injury.

Currently, she was absolutely certain that the reason the imperial concubine had spoken to her that day was because she wanted to betray her. The imperial concubine was absolutely not a person who could frankly accept defeat. Otherwise, they would not have met like today and there would not have been any questions.

The moment her question left her mouth, she admitted one thing, and that was that she was essentially unwilling to part with him.

With Mu Ru Yue's clear thoughts, she then headed for the main street. It was already late at night, so Mu Ru Yue decided to head back later. At this time, within the imperial palace, the imperial concubine was sitting on a chair, her face revealing traces of exhaustion.

There was even a trace of self-mockery. Soon, eldest aunt returned. After returning, he knelt in front of the imperial concubine and said, ”Empress, this servant has already finished following your instructions.”
