How could she possibly be confined to the Cixi Palace by the emperor now? It was simply a great disgrace.
"Master Kongtong, isn't there any way to mediate this matter? After all, she is the woman Lord Zhongning fancies. It's more convenient for me to take care of her in the palace," Yuan Yuchuan asked sincerely. If Mu Fengqie didn't know that Yuan Yuchuan was a selfish man, she might really have believed his words.
"Your Majesty, please consider the country and the people. The princess is definitely not suitable to live in the palace."
After hearing this, Yuan Yuchuan fell silent. Looking at Master Kongtong with a tangled expression, Mu Fengqie was a woman he had managed to get into the palace with great difficulty. It was really hard for him to let her leave just like that. However, Master Kongtong was right. He couldn't take the country and the people as a joke.
"In that case, Fengqie, you can return to your own mansion. I will send people to take care of you. After all, I won't be at ease if others take care of you."
Mu Fengqie looked at Yuan Yuchuan's hypocritical face and felt extremely disgusted in her heart. However, she still had to cooperate on the surface.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Mu Fengqie walked slowly on the palace road with the people sent by Yuan Yuchuan. After leaving the palace gate, she saw the personal maid beside A Ru.
"Your servant pays respects to the princess. Your servant is here by the order of the princess consort to invite the princess to the prince's mansion. The princess consort also said that she has taught the prince a lesson. Please don't be angry with the prince."
Mu Fengqie smiled after hearing the maid's words. "Since it was A Ru who said so, I'll give the prince this face and forgive him this time. If there is a next time, don't blame me for being merciless."
"Please, princess." The maid respectfully invited Mu Fengqie into the carriage.
As soon as Mu Fengqie got in, she saw a letter on the table of the carriage. Mu Fengqie twitched the corner of her mouth. This Yuan Yuhan was really bold. Wasn't he afraid of being discovered?
She glanced at the content of the letter. Everything had been prepared. As long as she went there, it would be okay. Mu Fengqie glanced at the maids outside the carriage and her eyes darkened. She had to think of a way to deceive them.
Before Mu Fengqie could think of a good way, someone sent a pillow. Lü Yun excitedly ran in, but was stopped when she was about to enter.
Lü Yun looked at the people standing outside the door in shock. What was going on?
"Sister Qier, Feng'er has come to see you. Please let me in quickly," Lü Yun shouted outside the door.
The maids guarding outside tightened their expressions. Just as they were about to make a move, Mu Fengqie came out, so they had to withdraw their hands.
"Feng'er, why did you come?" Mu Fengqie looked at Lü Yun in surprise. Maybe her way had come.
"I was so bored that I came to find Sister Qier. I didn't expect Sister Qier's maids to be so unwelcoming to me," Lü Yun said aggrievedly, looking at Mu Fengqie.
"Come on, don't be so aggrieved. Hurry up and come in. I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much." Mu Fengqie warmly pulled her in and closed the door before the maids outside could say anything.
"Shh... Feng'er, I need your help now. Those people outside were sent by the emperor to monitor me. Can you control them with your gu worms?" Mu Fengqie pulled Lü Yun into the room and asked in a low voice.
Lü Yun glanced at the figures on the door and nodded. This was just a piece of cake for her.
"Sister Qier, don't worry. Leave this matter to me." Lü Yun pricked her finger with a silver needle and squeezed out a few drops of blood. The blood drops on the ground changed at a visible speed. Lü Yun quietly opened a little window and let them crawl out.
The people guarding outside didn't notice the movement inside. They were just concentrating on listening to the conversation inside. However, before they could hear anything, their consciousness began to blur.
"Done!" Lü Yun opened the door, looked at the maids with empty eyes outside, patted their cheeks, and said satisfactorily, "Sister Qier, they have lost consciousness. What do you want to do?"
"Feng'er, time is urgent now. I'll make it short. You just need to make their daily reports show that there is nothing abnormal. Occasionally, there should be some conversations with others. Don't let the emperor get suspicious." Mu Fengqie quickly packed her things while talking.
"Sister Qier, are you going to find the marquis and the others? Can you see Mu Nan?" She missed him very much. She had been away for so long, and he didn't even write a single letter.
"Yes, I'm going to find them. Feng'er, you must watch these people well," Mu Fengqie said seriously, looking at Lü Yun.
She had already taken care of things in the palace. If someone from the palace came, Yuan Yuhan would handle it.
"I'll leave a secret guard. She will help you. If you have any difficulties, just let her take you to the Regent's Mansion."
"Sister Qier, can you do me a favor? When you see Mu Nan, ask him to write me a letter." Even just to report that he was safe would be good.
Mu Fengqie looked at the little girl with red eyes and patted her on the back. "Don't worry. I will definitely ask him to write you a letter. If he has time, I'll also ask him to come back and see you." Mu Fengqie wiped the tears off Lü Yun's face and comforted her.
However, although the letter could be written, he couldn't come back immediately. It was still unknown whether the people there could be cured at that time. But Mu Fengqie could only say so to comfort Lü Yun.
"Okay. Sister Qier, you must be careful on your way." Lü Yun sent Mu Fengqie and the others out of the capital, then went back with red eyes. However, there was a flash of determination in her eyes.
Everyone was hiding things from her, but she still knew what had happened to Mu Nan. It was a plague. Mu Nan, Sister Qier has already gone there. You must live well. Otherwise, I'll wait for you to die and then marry someone else with your family property.
Thinking of this, Lü Yun's eyes turned red again. She sniffed and adjusted her state. She couldn't let others notice anything, or Sister Qier's plan would be disrupted.
Not long after Mu Fengqie left the capital, she was stopped by a person. Mu Fengqie looked at the person in front of her with a complicated expression. "You go back. Don't follow me."
"I don't want to go back, Master. Disciple wants to follow you. Wherever Master goes, disciple will go," Yuan Yerui left the palace early this morning. However, he met the Regent on the way. The Regent told him that he could see his master here.
Sure enough!
"Do you know where I'm going?" Mu Fengqie looked at Yuan Yerui and asked.
"Disciple knows. The Regent has told me everything. I've already made up my mind. Master, please take me with you," Yuan Yerui unhesitatingly betrayed Yuan Yuhan. Anyway, it was the truth.
Mu Fengqie's face turned ashen. This Yuan Yuhan!
