C559 twin sister (1/2)

Returning to the courtyard, Mu Ru Yue carried her things and headed directly to her own courtyard. When she entered, she saw the butler standing there like a gatekeeper. Yun'er's expression didn't look too good either.

If that was the case, Mu Ru Yue didn't think much of it. The most important thing was that the butler still had a bit of anxiety on his face. This made Mu Ru Yue slightly worried.

Without waiting for Mu Ru Yue to reply, the two of them stepped forward to greet her as soon as they saw her return.

”Princess, you've returned. Miss Ling Xi is waiting for you in her room.” Yun'er hurriedly said. However, the butler replied, ”Royal Concubine, that Miss Ling Xi has a problem.”

”What nonsense are you talking about!?” Miss Ling Xi is someone at the side of an imperial concubine. ” Yun'er glared at the steward. She had been arguing with the steward over this matter from the very beginning. The steward insisted on chasing her away, while Yun'er had her men stay behind.

Mu Ru Yue didn't expect the two of them to argue over the Spirit Creek. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she said, ”Butler, please speak first. Yun'er, you can be quiet for now.” As soon as Murong Yue finished speaking, the butler glanced at Yun'er with a complacent look, like an old child. He then respectfully said to Murong Yue, ”Royal Concubine, this Miss Ling Xi has never been noticed by this old servant. But this time … But the old servant remembered.

This Miss Ling Xi is 80% similar to the woman who poisoned the prince! This old servant suspects that there is some connection between them, so I would like to request that the wangfei to make a decision now and dispose of this person. ”

The person who poisoned the seep?

Mu Ru Yue was also stunned for a moment. If she remembered correctly, the ones that poisoned the phoenix seep seemed to be those who specialize in poison. Those people should be far away in the Southern Wilderness. Yet, Ling Xi had come from Thousand Leaves. Wait, Thousandleaf?

The Southern Wilderness in the coming month was indeed close to Thousandleaf.

Thinking of this, Mu Ru Yue's expression darkened. It was impossible for a housekeeper to lie about such matters. But Ling Xi didn't seem to know any sort of poison, much less the respect Uncle Zhang had for her.

Mu Ru Yue believed in the butler, but she didn't doubt her companion who had accompanied her for such a long time. Thus, he asked, ”Are you sure?”

”Yes. If esteemed wangfei doesn't believe me, just ask any of the other princes in this estate who are like this old servant to come. They can absolutely testify.” the butler said.

”Then why haven't I heard you speak of it before? This is not the first time that Ling Xi has come here. Furthermore, if there really is a problem, then Your Highness should have investigated Ling Xi before, so why didn't you ask me? ” Mu Ru Yue's gaze landed on the butler.

The butler heard this and started sweating. After being pressed by Mu Ru Yue, he replied with a bitter smile, ”It was the prince that didn't allow me to ask you. The prince said that he believed you wouldn't harm him, so there's no need to ask about such small matters.

But, wangfei, the prince's poison has already been around for many years. If we don't get rid of it soon, something might happen. The prince doesn't care, but this old servant doesn't dare to ignore it. ”

At this point, the butler fell to his knees with a thump. Mu Ru Yue's heart was filled with complex emotions from his serious appearance. The steward was only thinking about Feng Zhi, and she could not refuse.

But Ling Xi?

Mu Ru Yue frowned slightly. Just when Mu Ru Yue felt that she was in a difficult situation, she heard a creaking sound as the door to the room opened. A lady with tattered clothes walked out from the room.

The woman's face didn't show much emotion, but it was filled with vigor. Mu Ru Yue was surprised to see Ling Xi in such a sorry state.

”Miss Ling Xi, why did you come out!” Yun'er was the one who was the most worried. Upon seeing Ling Xi come out, she couldn't help but want to push her back. However, Ling Xi avoided Yun'er and said with a smile, ”Thank you for your good intentions Yun'er, but …” There are some things that I should be clear on, but I can't give the wangfei any trouble. ”

”What is going on?” Seeing Ling Xi's appearance, how could Murong Yue not know that Ling Xi was hiding something from her? On the other hand, Ling Xi bitterly smiled as she said, ”Royal Consort, in fact, if I didn't hear the butler from your house say anything, I wouldn't know either.”
