C412 The Twelfth City of the Moon (1/2)
Feng Qing's gaze landed on Mu Ru Yue and he said softly, ”I didn't think too much about what happened today. It made you misunderstand.”
Feng Qing's words made Mu Ru Yue suspicious. 'I really can't think too much into it?' Why did she have this feeling that this person was doing it on purpose? However, it didn't matter whether it was the truth or not. After all, she still had another trump card, didn't she?
As she thought about it, Mu Ru Yue said to Feng Qing, ”Your Highness, there is no need to worry. If there are any more rumors and rumors, I will definitely clarify them clearly. I definitely won't implicate Your Highness and the Seventh Prince's residence.”
”I don't care about my reputation, you don't have to think too much about it.” Feng Qing said. Hearing that, Mu Ru Yue shook her head and replied respectfully, ”Your highness doesn't mind, but I can't not mind. After all, behind me is the Seventh Marquis Estate, and Your Highness, you have helped me.
If I were to swindle Your Highness and the Seventh Prince's Mansion, wouldn't I become an ungrateful and unrighteous person? ”
Mu Ru Yue's words made Feng Qing smile. ”You are speaking with justice as usual, but … There is no way to clarify the rumors, and it is true that I came out with you. Presumably … When we get back, everyone in the capital will be wearing tinted glasses to look at us. ”
”I have my ways. ”It just so happens that I should use this matter to find out who exactly it is that dances so happily and wants to cheat me.” When Mu Ru Yue said this, her phoenix eyes chilled. There was a trace of scheming in her gaze.
Feng Qing had seen Mu Ru Yue speak up in a righteous manner and had seen her playing the zither alone. She had even seen her playing the zither when she was in a difficult situation. However, he had never seen Mu Ru Yue scheme against anyone. He despised women who were obviously scheming.
But strangely, when she saw Mu Ru Yue's appearance, Feng Qing's heart skipped a beat. She felt that the image of the person before her became more lively and real in her heart.
Feng Qing was simply driven mad by this thought of hers. He looked at the girl before him and slowly closed his eyes. What happened yesterday must have aroused her suspicions, right? After all, she wasn't an idiot. It was impossible for his feelings towards her to be completely without suspicion. Available... If she continued, it would be hard to avoid his completely escaping.
He still had to slowly map it out. Feng Qing tried to persuade himself.
Mu Ru Yue, on the other hand, looked outside the window. She had never been to Peony City before. Her memories of Peony City only existed in the books that the original owner had read. Peony City was one of the Twelve Months of the Moon.
He was ranked at the top of the city in the coming month.
There was also an irreplaceable relationship with the Yue clan. The most famous event in the city was the one held in Peony City. It was said that the Peony City was at its most beautiful when it was about to fall.
The city lord of Peony City was inherited from the dynasty. When the royal family selected the people, they gave them the inheritance. Unless they committed a grave mistake, the royal family would absolutely not change them. Because of this, the coming month was more like another imperial city.
However, the master of this place was not the Imperial Family.
When Mu Ru Yue saw the records regarding the Peony City, she was slightly shocked. He was extremely curious about the royal family's way of doing things, as well as the management of Peony City.
In fact, she didn't even know why Peony City was one of the 12 cities and what the city was selling. There were hundreds of cities in the Moon Continent. Those who were able to rank among them must have a certain amount of money foundation, and they must have made a huge contribution to the imperial city.
Just like the White Cloud City, which was ranked second. Within the city, there were many gold mines. There were also a variety of medicinal ingredients being sold there. It was the number one medicinal ingredient city and was also the source of its finances. But what about Peony City?
Mu Ru Yue really couldn't understand this.
Very quickly, the carriage had left the imperial city. When Mu Ru Yue left the imperial city, she heaved a sigh of relief. This meant that they wouldn't be stopped anymore. The imperial city was only three days away from Peony City. During this time, unless they had to eat and stay, they did not need to get off the carriage, nor did they need to worry about being stopped.
This was because this carriage belonged to the current crown prince, Feng Qing.
Feng Qing rarely used this carriage when he was travelling, but once he did, it meant that the crown prince was out on a patrol and had urgent matters to attend to. Anyone who dared to obstruct it was sentenced to death.
As Mu Ru Yue thought about it, she suddenly thought of something. She blinked and looked at Feng Qing who was beside her. ”About that … Your Highness, I have something I want to ask you. Mu Ru Yue's attitude was extremely respectful.
This respectful attitude caused Feng Qing to furrow his brows slightly: ”You and I are friends, so just ask. There is no need to be so reserved. Moreover, outside, you call me Feng Qing.”
Eyebrows... Mu Ru Yue felt a little embarrassed, but she braced herself and asked, ”Feng Qing, did you bring any guards?”
