C553 Meet the imperial concubine (1/2)

As she spoke, Mu Ru Yue took off the hairpin. Wuyou stared blankly at Mu Ru Yue. She saw that the royal concubine, who she had always thought was capable of doing everything, had actually gone to pick the lock. The moment the lock fell onto the ground, Princess Wuyou felt as though she was in a dream.

Murong Yue calmly opened the door and placed the hairpin back in her hair. She looked at Wuyou and asked, ”See? Isn't that good enough? ”

”This …” Wuyou looked at the weather outside and felt a little dazed. Just a moment ago, she was still feeling upset about not being able to leave, but in the next second, Mu Ru Yue opened the door.

”What's wrong?” Mu Ru Yue looked at the unmoving Princess Wuyou, puzzled. She walked out of the room and stood in the doorway, looking at him. Wuyou had a complicated expression on her face. ”Sister-in-law, is there anything in this world that you won't do?”

No? Mu Ru Yue thought for a moment before replying, ”A lot.”

Princess Wuyou didn't believe him and always felt that he was capable of anything. It wouldn't even be difficult for her to pick the lock. Thinking of this, Princess Wuyou seemed to come to a sudden realization, ”Royal sister-in-law, you … Since you can pick the lock, why were you captured together with the crown prince in the temple? ”

When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she instantly became embarrassed. Could she say that she was hugged by Feng Qing before she could pick the lock? Furthermore, these people had arrived so quickly that they didn't even have time to react. However, Mu Ru Yue couldn't say that. She could only look mysteriously at Princess Wuyou.

When Princess Wuyou saw that Mu Ru Yue didn't reply, she didn't ask any further. She hastily ran out with Mu Ru Yue.

”Next up, it's up to you to lead the way. I'm not very familiar with the palace, and I don't know where it's safe either.” Mu Ru Yue asked. Princess Wuyou nodded and started to walk in circles within the palace with Mu Ru Yue.

They didn't run into anyone along the way. It had to be said that Wuyou really did have some brains. She remembered the palace so clearly, and even found a safe path like this. The two of them walked for about a quarter of an hour. Only then did she arrive at Matriarch Wu's chamber.

The usually quiet place was currently surrounded by many soldiers. They stood around the palace as if they were afraid that someone would run in.

Seeing this scene, Wuyou could not help but tear up. For a proud person like mufei to be watched like this must be very painful. Thinking of this, Princess Wuyou started to blame herself in her heart.

”Don't cry, tears will take off your makeup. When that happens, you really won't be able to enter.” Mu Ru Yue reminded him coldly from the side. Princess Wuyou's heart skipped a beat and she didn't dare to cry anymore.

She lowered her voice and said, ”Royal sister-in-law, there are so many people here. How do we get there?” When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she thought for a moment before her gaze finally landed on a corner of the courtyard. She pointed at that corner and said, ”Let's head there.”

”Huh?” Wuyou looked over and saw that there were two more guards over there. If these people couldn't be dealt with in one fell swoop, they would definitely call for reinforcements. She and her royal sister-in-law didn't have the time to settle things, so how was that possible?

Just as Princess Wuyou was feeling puzzled, Mu Ru Yue took out some scattered silver taels and tossed them over.

Smashing right into the heads of two people in the corner.

”Aiyo!” Which bastard dares to smash your father? ” The two men stood up in unison. However, when they saw what was being thrown at them, their eyes lit up as they picked up the silver.

”What, do you even have money?” While the two of them were picking it up, Mu Ru Yue added a bit more on the outside.

”I said you should be more careful. What if it's a human's method of luring the tiger out of the mountain?” One of them was quite calm. The man who was picking up the silver laughed mockingly, ”Look at your cowardly appearance. Even if you are luring a tiger out of its lair, who would be able to run out of this house? If anyone does get in and we catch them when they come out, it will be even more of a credit.

”If you don't want it, then I'll go and pick it up.”

This person's words made sense. The other person didn't want to move at all, but seeing that the people he was with had already collected over ten taels of silver, he naturally couldn't sit still anymore. He quickly ran over.

Princess Wuyou stared in disbelief at this scene. Were the guards in the palace really that greedy?
