"Right, Your Highness. I just remembered that I was in such a hurry when I entered the palace just now that I didn't instruct my servants in the mansion properly. And also in A Che's mansion. You go and check on them when you get back later. Don't let them get out of order," Mu Fengqie said casually.
"Okay, I got it. If you have nothing else to say, I'll leave first. A Ru is still waiting for me in the mansion." After making sure that Mu Fengqie had nothing more to say, he turned around and left.
He understood what Mu Fengqie meant just now. Now he had to go to Jing Xunche's and Mu Fengqie's mansions to find out what things were still left undone.
For Mu Fengqie to remind him so subtly, there must be some unknown secrets. Thinking of this, Yuan Yuhan quickened his pace.
After Yuan Yuhan left, someone sorted out their conversation into a paper version and placed it in front of Yuan Yuchuan.
"Is this all they talked about?" Yuan Yuchuan frowned as he looked at the paper in his hand. It shouldn't be. Didn't Mu Fengqie tell Yuan Yuhan any secrets for him to handle?
"Reporting to Your Highness, word for word, that's all."
"Go now. Stop keeping an eye on the Assistant - Regent. Just watch Mu Fengqie," Yuan Yuchuan waved his hand and sent the person away.
Although he didn't understand what tricks Mu Fengqie and Yuan Yuhan were playing, he wasn't worried. Anyway, the person was already under his nose. How much of a stir could she cause?
On the other hand, after Yuan Yuhan went to Jing Xunche's mansion and found out about everything, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. How could there be so many things?
Moreover, Wupian Mountain was actually linked to the Jiang family's poison. Yuan Yuhan was a bit on the verge of collapse. Why didn't anyone inform him in advance? This was a bit too sudden.
But no matter how sudden it was, he still had to do what he should. Yuan Yuhan arranged for his own people to take over. Of course, Jing Xunche's people still had to be in charge. After all, this was his business to manage. He was just taking over temporarily.
Everyone in the palace knew that Mu Fengqie had been invited into the palace by the emperor. For a while, there were all kinds of speculations. But except for the Noble Consort Jing and the Noble Consort Shu, none of them had pure intentions. They were all trying every means to meet Mu Fengqie and give her a hard time.
One day, Mu Fengqie was in a bad mood and came out to get some fresh air. Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked into the imperial garden, she saw a lot of women sitting together, making a lot of noise. Mu Fengqie originally didn't want to join in the fun, but there were people who wanted her to.
Sure enough, the pregnant Noble Consort Hua spotted Mu Fengqie at a glance. She sneered sarcastically and said, "Oh~ Isn't this Princess Mu Fengqie of Tianlin Kingdom? Why don't you come over and pay your respects when you see us?"
Mu Fengqie frowned when she heard what the Noble Consort Hua said. She knew she couldn't avoid this this time, so she had to go forward.
"Noble Consort Hua, I'm afraid you're wrong. Anyway, it should be you who pays respects to this princess. This princess is not only the princess of Tianlin Kingdom but also the master of the Medicine - Master Valley. All the doctors in the world have to obey the Medicine - Master Valley. You tell me who in the world doesn't give this master of the valley some face?"
Mu Fengqie walked slowly in front of them and said calmly. Just one sentence made the faces of the Noble Consort Hua and the others fall. They didn't expect that Mu Fengqie would use her status to overwhelm them, and she was really sharp - tongued.
"Fengqie must be joking. All land under heaven belongs to the king. We are all the subjects of the emperor. How can the emperor give you face?" Mu Xingrou said disapprovingly, directly putting a hat on Mu Fengqie that she defied the law.
"What are you talking about, Lady Mu? Moreover, we're not that familiar. You'd better not call this princess by her name. Just call me princess. Otherwise, this princess is afraid that others will misunderstand."
Due to her pregnancy, Mu Fengqie's temper was really irritable now. She would quarrel with anyone she met. Anyway, Mu Xingrou didn't get any advantage from Mu Fengqie and even lost face.
"Having a status really makes a difference. Look at the imposing manner of our Princess of Tianlin now. Who dares to provoke her?" a concubine said sourly.
"If you can't provoke her, just shut up. Otherwise, this princess might scold you later, and then you'll start crying and complaining to the emperor, saying that this princess is bullying you," Mu Fengqie said disdainfully, not putting the people in front of her in her eyes at all.
Anyway, Yuan Yuchuan had imprisoned her in the palace. If she didn't cause him some trouble and give him a headache, it just wouldn't be right.
"This princess thinks that the bellies of the Noble Consort Hua and Lady Mu seem to be about the same size. But Lady Mu's belly seems to be bigger. In medicine, among two women who are pregnant at the same time, the one with the bigger belly will give birth earlier," Mu Fengqie said seriously, deceiving the people around her.
Mu Xingrou looked at Mu Fengqie in surprise and asked, "Is what you said true? Can this princess really give birth first?" If that was really the case, then the child she gave birth to would be the eldest son of the emperor.
"This is impossible. This princess has never heard such a thing!" The Noble Consort Hua was so angry that her face was distorted. It was clearly she who got pregnant first. Why could this bitch Mu Xingrou give birth earlier than her?
Thinking of this, the Noble Consort Hua glared at Mu Xingrou fiercely, as if she wanted to skin Mu Xingrou alive.
"Are you a doctor or am I? Things in medicine are the hardest to explain clearly. After all, there are all kinds of strange things in the world. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean others haven't," Mu Fengqie rolled her eyes at the Noble Consort Hua and said.
"If there are no accidents, there should be no problem with Lady Mu's pregnancy. But if there are accidents, then no one can say for sure," Mu Fengqie said while looking around meaningfully. It was obvious that the accident she was talking about was someone doing something to Mu Xingrou's belly.
Suddenly, the people around couldn't sit still anymore. They surrounded Mu Fengqie and asked all kinds of questions. After all, the status of the master of the Medicine - Master Valley was there. Some people even asked if there was a way to stay young forever. It was a pity that Mu Fengqie didn't answer her, which meant there wasn't.
It was almost dark when Mu Fengqie left. Unexpectedly, deceiving others could be so much fun. It seemed that she could often go and have a chat with them when she was free. After all, after this day, they must be like sisters.
"Your Highness, do we really have to stay in this palace all the time?" Zhu Fei asked puzzledly. If the princess wanted to leave, they had many ways to get her out. But the princess had been quiet, and they didn't dare to act without permission.
"What's the hurry? It won't be long before someone will be in a hurry. Don't worry," Mu Fengqie said with narrowed eyes.
