"Your Ladyship is so dexterous. I'm so envious."
"What's there to envy? If anyone should be envious, it's me envying you." With your extraordinary skills and a man who dotes on you, who wouldn't be envious?
After chatting about daily matters for a while, Mu Fengqie got to the point.
"Your Ladyship, do you know about the incident where Concubine Hua was framed?" Mu Fengqie asked.
"Yes, I just found out. Mu Xingrou left not long ago. You saw her when you came." She hadn't been paying much attention to the affairs in the harem recently. Just being a bit lax, someone took advantage of the loophole. It was really ridiculous. Did they think she would frame Concubine Hua? They didn't even use their heads.
"All the current clues point to you. The person behind this is very cunning." Mu Fengqie analyzed the situation for Concubine Jing. No matter how one analyzed it, the final result pointed to Concubine Jing.
"Fengqie, don't worry. Even if I really did this, the Emperor won't do much to me." Her family had already pledged their allegiance to the Regent Prince. Although their influence in the court couldn't be said to be all - powerful, it could be said that without her family, the court would surely be in chaos. By then, the court that the Emperor had finally stabilized would be in disarray again.
As long as the Emperor wasn't a fool, he wouldn't touch her.
"Not daring to touch you is one thing, but your suspicion still needs to be cleared. What if someone frames you in the future? Wouldn't all the blame fall on your head?" Mu Fengqie looked at Concubine Jing worriedly.
"Okay, I trust you, Fengqie. You will surely clear my name." Concubine Jing smiled at Mu Fengqie and quietly stuffed a note into her hand.
Mu Fengqie was slightly stunned, then calmly put away the note. "Your Ladyship, please rest well. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave."
After leaving Concubine Jing, Mu Fengqie quickly returned to their side - palace. At this time, Jing Xunce was already lying on the bed waiting for Mu Fengqie.
"Qier, what happened?" Why was she in such a hurry?
"Nothing." Mu Fengqie didn't pay attention to Jing Xunce. She opened the note in her hand and read it.
Mu Rendong was rescued by Mu Xingrou and is in the Cold Palace.
There was only one sentence in Concubine Jing's note, but this one sentence provided Mu Fengqie with a great deal of information.
Mu Rendong was actually still alive. He had been rescued? Then who was the person in the prison now?
"I didn't expect that Eunuch Hai beside Mu Xingrou really had some skills." Jing Xunce also saw the content of the note in Mu Fengqie's hand. Since it was Mu Xingrou who rescued him, it must be Eunuch Hai who had made the effort. Otherwise, Mu Xingrou couldn't have succeeded.
"What should we do? Should we expose this matter?" Mu Fengqie thought this matter could be made public.
"Not for the time being. Let Mu Rendong enjoy himself for a while." Jing Xunce understood the key point. Mu Rendong was probably the scapegoat that Eunuch Hai had found for Mu Xingrou. He would be pushed out at a critical moment.
That night, Jing Xunce took Mu Fengqie quietly to the Cold Palace. After searching the Cold Palace, they finally found Mu Rendong in a very remote room. However, the scene in the room made Mu Fengqie's eyes redden.
This brute! He actually raped someone! Mu Fengqie was about to take action when Jing Xunce grabbed her arm. Seeing Jing Xunce shaking his head, Mu Fengqie was a bit puzzled.
Mu Fengqie: Why don't we take action?
Jing Xunce: I just put some sleeping pills in there. It will take effect soon.
Mu Fengqie looked into the room. Sure enough, Mu Rendong was already unsteady on his feet. He didn't even realize the problem himself and thought he had drunk too much.
After seeing Mu Rendong fall to the ground, they went in. Mu Fengqie went in first. She untied the maid and helped her get dressed before letting Jing Xunce in.
"Thank you two for saving my life." The maid knelt on the ground, crying. She had just come here today. Concubine Mu said there was something for her to do here, but as soon as she came, she was tied up by this brute. The following things were what Mu Fengqie and the others had seen.
"Which palace are you a maid from?" Mu Fengqie asked.
"I'm from the Miscellaneous Affairs Department."
Mu Fengqie understood after hearing this. No wonder. If she was a maid from another concubine's palace, someone would have come looking for her long ago.
"Okay, you're safe now. Hurry up and leave. Remember not to tell anyone about what happened tonight." Mu Fengqie admonished the maid before she left.
"Yes, I understand, miss. Don't worry. I will never reveal a single word about what happened tonight." The maid quickly bowed and left. She would never come to the Cold Palace again.
"What should we do now?" Mu Fengqie looked at Jing Xunce, not knowing what Jing Xunce wanted to do with Mu Rendong.
"I've already found a substitute for Mu Rendong. Someone will take him away later." In this way, they could also infiltrate Mu Xingrou's inner circle. It would be easy to find out some information.
Mu Fengqie nodded, then walked around Mu Rendong's room. Suddenly, she found a book under the table. Mu Fengqie pulled it out.
"What's this?" Jing Xunce looked at the book without a cover in Mu Fengqie's hand and asked.
"I don't know." Mu Fengqie flipped through it. There wasn't a single word. "Emmmm... This should be a book with invisible writing." It was rare for Mu Fengqie to make a joke.
Jing Xunce looked at the book and smiled helplessly. He let Mu Fengqie say whatever she wanted. When they left, they took the book with invisible writing. Although they didn't know if it was really a book, it was always right to take it.
The next day, Concubine Hua woke up. When she heard that it was Concubine Jing who had tried to harm her child, she came over aggressively with her entourage.
"Concubine Jing, get out here!" How dare she try to harm her child? She must teach this Concubine Jing a good lesson today.
"Aren't you Concubine Hua? Why aren't you taking good care of yourself? What are you doing in my palace?" Concubine Jing walked out slowly. Looking at Concubine Hua who came to pick a fight, she said with a smile.
"Concubine Jing, how dare you! Kneel down when you see me!" Concubine Hua was even angrier when she saw Concubine Jing's leisurely look.
"Concubine Hua, you'd better go back and take care of your pregnancy quickly. If something else happens and it's blamed on me, don't you think I'll be wronged?" Concubine Jing didn't pay any attention to Concubine Hua at all.
With her intelligence, she could only be used as a pawn by others. How stupid.
"Humph! You won't listen to kind advice! Guards! Concubine Jing attempted to harm the imperial heir. Beat her for me!" Concubine Hua waved her hand, and two strong eunuchs stepped out from behind.
They clearly looked like they were used to doing physical work. Concubine Jing wasn't panicked at all when she saw the two men approaching step by step. She calmly shouted, "Xiaocui."
Xiaocui came out from behind Concubine Jing and kicked the two eunuchs back with one kick each. They fell right at Concubine Hua's feet.
