"But I hope even more that A Che will be safe. If something happens, the three of us in our family will go together." Mu Fengqie looked at Yuan Yuhan with a determined look in her eyes.
Yuan Yuhan was startled by Mu Fengqie's look. He never thought that Mu Fengqie would care so much about Jing Xunce. He looked at Mu Fengqie and silently sighed.
"Since you're so insistent, I won't say anything more. Be careful on the way." Yuan Yuhan looked at Mu Fengqie and said.
Mu Fengqie nodded. But before that, she had to figure out a way to leave the palace. Yuan Yuchuan had sent many people here to watch her. Although they didn't say anything on a daily basis, Mu Fengqie could feel that the maids who usually cleaned the palace were all sent by Yuan Yuchuan to monitor her.
"My lord, I'd like to ask you to find someone for me." Now only he could help her.
"Tell me." Yuan Yuhan looked at Mu Fengqie and said.
Mu Fengqie glanced around. She quietly wrote a few words on the table with water. After Yuan Yuhan memorized them, she wiped the words off. To avoid leaving any traces, she deliberately wiped the table several more times with water.
"Mu Fengqie, don't think that just because you're the one Jing Xunce likes, you can do whatever you want. I've been kind enough to tell you his news, and you're even more demanding? How could there be a woman like you in this world!" Yuan Yuhan walked out of the room and started scolding Mu Fengqie loudly. His face was ashen with anger.
Mu Fengqie wasn't in a better mood either. "Am I wrong? A Che is short of food there. What's wrong with me asking you to deliver it in person? You claim to be A Che's good brother. Is this how you act as a brother? I don't think it's necessary to be brothers at all!"
Yuan Yuhan twitched the corner of his mouth when he heard Mu Fengqie's words. How could this woman be so harsh? Didn't they agree to pretend to quarrel?
"Womanish kindness! I'm too lazy to talk to you." After saying that, Yuan Yuhan flung his sleeves and left. He couldn't go on with this fight.
After leaving the palace, Yuan Yuhan made sure there was no one following him and then went to the address Mu Fengqie had given him. Looking at the desolate scene in front of him, Yuan Yuhan was a bit skeptical. Was there really someone living here?
As soon as Yuan Yuhan pushed the door open, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol. Alright, there was no need to doubt. There was someone here.
"Excuse me, is Master Kongtong here?" Yuan Yuhan politely knocked on the door. After there was no response, he went straight in as Mu Fengqie had told him.
Yuan Yuhan was about to step forward to call someone when Kongtong suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Yuan Yuhan warily.
On this side, after Yuan Yuhan left, the people in Mu Fengqie's palace reported their conversation to Yuan Yuchuan. Yuan Yuchuan frowned. Why were these two quarreling?
"Are you sure they didn't discuss anything else?" Yuan Yuchuan asked suspiciously.
"I heard clearly. I didn't miss a single word." The maid recalled and there really wasn't anything else.
"Alright, you can go." Yuan Yuchuan sat directly on the chair and pondered. What on earth were Mu Fengqie and Yuan Yuhan up to?
Yuan Yuchuan never figured out this question. He originally planned to go to Mu Fengqie the next day to try to get some information from her, but he was stopped by a suddenly appearing person.
"I wonder what brings Master Kongtong here?" Yuan Yuchuan looked at the suddenly visiting person puzzledly and asked.
He had long heard of Master Kongtong's reputation, and he also knew something about what had happened in the Southern Qing Kingdom.
"The old monk passed by here and found that there was a red light blocking the aura of the true dragon, which is not conducive to the development of the Qin Dynasty. So the old monk came to take a look." Master Kongtong said calmly.
As soon as Yuan Yuchuan heard this, he immediately became vigilant. This was no small matter. Master Kongtong's ability was well - known. What he said was what it was. "Please give me some advice, Master."
Master Kongtong looked at Yuan Yuchuan's serious expression and nodded in satisfaction. "Please ask all the officials to come here. The old monk needs to identify them one by one."
"Please wait a moment, Master." Yuan Yuchuan immediately ordered someone to call them. However, he didn't ask anyone to look for Mu Fengqie. She wasn't a woman in his harem, so she surely couldn't affect him.
After everyone had arrived, Master Kongtong identified them one by one. But after looking, Master Kongtong shook his head. "The person the old monk is looking for isn't here. May I ask, Your Majesty, are all the people here?"
The Grand Empress Dowager also knew why Master Kongtong had come. Now after hearing that the person hadn't been found, her face immediately turned ugly. After looking around for a week, she immediately found out who was missing.
Mu Fengqie!
"Master, there is indeed one person missing. Please wait a moment. I'll send someone to call her right away." The Grand Empress Dowager glanced at the maid beside her. The maid immediately understood what she meant and turned around to leave.
"Master, that person isn't a woman in the harem. She shouldn't affect me, right?" Yuan Yuchuan said uncertainly.
"Your Majesty is wrong. As long as a person is in the palace, they may affect Your Majesty's fortune."
As soon as Yuan Yuchuan heard this, a look of entanglement immediately appeared on his face. If Mu Fengqie was really the one affecting his fortune, how should he deal with her?
"Master, can we just execute this person after finding them?" A glint of light flashed in the Grand Empress Dowager's eyes.
Master Kongtong was startled. Why would the Grand Empress Dowager think like this? She actually wanted to kill his master!
"Your Majesty the Grand Empress Dowager mustn't talk nonsense. This person has boundless merits in their fate. This person can only be a friend, but never an enemy. Otherwise, the world will be in chaos." Master Kongtong said with a look of fear on his face.
For a moment, the Grand Empress Dowager's face also turned ugly. Damn it. She shouldn't have asked if she had known this would be the answer. Merits? What merits did Mu Fengqie have!
"Princess Tianlin is here—"
The eunuch guarding outside the door immediately announced when he saw Mu Fengqie coming. Everyone in the main hall fell silent for a moment. They looked at Mu Fengqie walking in from outside with all kinds of looks in their eyes: worried, mocking, and gloating.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, the Empress, and Master Kongtong." Mu Fengqie bowed one by one.
The other two didn't react much, but Master Kongtong almost knelt down. Was his master trying to kill him? How could he have the guts to let his master bow to him.
"This is the one. The fortune on this person conflicts with Your Majesty's dragon aura. It's really not suitable for her to live in the palace." Master Kongtong said confidently.
"In that case, please Princess Tianlin leave the palace." The Grand Empress Dowager didn't want to see Mu Fengqie at all now. If it weren't for her ruining her good deed, she would...
