What he likes is that others are easy to deal with, but he prefers the third princess, the one the Holy One loves most.
Shangguan Rou sighed, why were her two children so bumpy in love?
The old prince glanced at her and said lightly: "Find some time to explore Xuan'er's tone and see what his attitude is. It's easy to handle if you just like her. What I'm afraid of is that he won't marry her unless she is the one."
The Holy Emperor was already very wary of the Mu family. If two of his descendants suddenly got entangled with the most favored one in the palace, it would probably be even more difficult in the future.
Shangguan Rou didn't know, but she couldn't bear it. Her daughter was about to marry the prince. Now her son finally found someone he liked, but the other person was a girl from Baili family.
"There's one more thing," the old prince said again. Shangguan Rou looked up at him, "Jiang's family is dead. Mu Yun may hold a grudge against Yan'er. I see that she still has some conscience. Please advise her well and don't let her go astray.
.”
After all, she is his granddaughter. Although she is only a concubine, she is still a member of the Mu family. I don’t know how many stinking thoughts Jiang’s poisonous woman has instilled in her over the years, so she needs to get rid of her.
"Father, please rest assured that my daughter-in-law will do her best." Even though Shangguan Rou was reluctant, Mu Yun was her husband's child after all, and as a legitimate mother, she should shoulder this responsibility.
——
At the same time, Mu Yun was confined to her own courtyard and could not take a step out.
But she had a very uneasy sleep last night, her heart always ached, and she was also very flustered in the morning. Her intuition told her that something might have happened to her mother.
But when she walked to the door, she was immediately embraced by the guard guarding the door. The guard's attitude was quite respectful, "Second Miss, please don't embarrass me."
These guards were all called by Mu Xuan, so they naturally obeyed his orders. Mu Yun looked gloomy, glared at the guards, turned back to the bed and sat down.
The maid looked at her worriedly and knelt down at her feet, "Miss..."
Mu Yun bit her lip and her eyes were a little red. She always had an unknown premonition in her heart.
Just as I was thinking about it, a voice came from outside the house, "I am Fenxiang, the maid of Liuyan Pavilion, and I am here to convey some words to the second lady on my behalf."
Hearing that she was from Mu Qingyan's courtyard, the guard let her in directly, "Sister, please come in."
Fenxiang stumbled and almost tripped over the threshold. She turned around and glanced helplessly at the guard, who actually called her sister? Is she that old?
They obviously looked a few years older than her, but why did they become sisters? Fenxiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
After entering the room, Mu Yun had calmed down her emotions, looked at her calmly, and said coldly: "What did she ask you to do?"
Fenxiang lowered his eyes and did not get too close to her. He knelt down and saluted her, and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived at the palace early this morning."
Mu Yun's face changed slightly and she stared at her blankly, "Where is my mother?!"
"His Highness personally ordered death..." Before Fenxiang could finish her words, Mu Yun stood up suddenly.
Eyes wide open, "What did you say?!"
Mu Yun walked up to Fenxiang, suddenly reached out and clasped her shoulders hard, her face turned pale, and she asked in a trembling voice: "My mother, what's wrong with her?!"
Looking at her expression, Fenxiang was a little frightened and swallowed nervously, "I have been sentenced to death by His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Miss!" The maid panicked and supported Mu Yun who suddenly fell down. Fenxiang pursed her lips and silently helped Mu Yun to sit in front of the soft couch with her.
Mu Yun was leaning on the soft couch, her eyes were dull, and her whole body seemed to have been drained of water, and she was completely stunned.
"Mother... mother." She was lost in thought and murmured in her mouth.
The prince executed his mother... No wonder, no wonder she was uneasy from last night to today. It was because of this.
After a while, she raised her head, her eyes were scarlet, "Where's the corpse? I want to see the corpse!" She wanted to see people alive, and she wanted to see the corpse even if she was dead!
Fenxiang hesitated for a moment before answering truthfully: "It has been buried."
Mu Yun's pupils shrank, she suddenly stood up and slapped Fenxiang in the face. She was caught off guard and Fenxiang couldn't react.
When she reacted, a slap mark appeared on her face. Fenxiang had been with Mu Qi and the others for a long time, and she had gained some personality.
She looked at Mu Yun calmly and said, "Second Miss, His Highness the Crown Prince himself said the execution. If you have any dissatisfaction, just go to His Highness. I am just a messenger. Your words have been brought to me. Please leave."
After saying that, he turned around and left without saluting.
"You are so brave!" the maid serving Mu Yun said quickly, and Fenxiang walked out without looking back.
Although she was already prepared to be made difficult when she arrived, she didn't expect that the usually calm second lady would hit her.
There was a hint of pain and heat in her cheek, and Fenxiang could only cover her face and leave quickly.
The guard was also a sharp-eyed person. He saw her hurried steps and wondered if Miss Qingyan would be angry when she returned.
His personal maid was beaten by someone else.
Inside the room, Mu Yun looked sad and leaned on the soft couch for a long time, unable to regain her consciousness.
My mother, who was fine yesterday, turned into a cold corpse today. She didn't even know how to execute her, and she didn't even have time to see the corpse.
Thinking of Jiang Yue's kindness to her over the years, Mu Yun's tears fell heavily, and the maid felt distressed when she saw it.
"Miss, please stop crying, let the third lady see the joke."
Mu Yun shook her head and cried silently, "You should go out first, I want to be quiet."
The maid was very worried, but Mu Yun didn't even look at her and ordered coldly: "Get out!"
The maid retracted her hand, stood up, and slowly withdrew.
Mu Yun was left alone in the room, without the peace of the past. She hugged and huddled on the soft couch, her head buried in her knees, and she cried repressedly.
The mother who loved her for more than ten years was gone like this. That was a fresh life!
How could she accept it?!
Mu Qingyan...
It was all because of Mu Qingyan that her mother died tragically.
She grabbed hard with her five fingers and tightly grasped the hem of her skirt. Her nails dug into her flesh through the thin fabric.
Thinking of those two words Fenxiang said, Mu Yun wanted to rush out and question them immediately.
Why does the prince want to get involved? This is a family matter of the Mu family!
…
When Fenxiang returned to Liuyan Pavilion, Mu Ling was shocked when he saw her red and swollen right face, "Did she hit you?"
Seeing Fenxiang nodding, Mu Ling quickly pulled her into the room and walked to Mu Qingyan, "Miss, look."
Mu Qingyan looked up and saw Fenxiang's face, her eyes immediately focused, and she ordered Poria: "Get some medicine and rub it on her."
Then he looked at Fenxiang again and asked in a deep voice: "Did Mu Yun hit you?"
Fenxiang nodded silently, and Mu Qingyan lowered her eyes. It seemed that Jiang's incident had a great impact on Mu Yun.
She looked at Fenxiang's face and sighed softly, "Sit down first." She was negligent and should have let Mu Ling follow.
