A lot of reward money was spent, but the information these people gave was of no use at all.
"Speaking of His Highness the First Prince, once my servant saw His Highness crying very sadly, as if he was being reprimanded by the Concubine Xian." A palace official talked about the situation in Chuxiu Palace.
"Isn't it normal to be reprimanded?" Mu Yao immediately became energetic when she heard about the eldest prince.
The eldest prince is Dugu Lianyun's flesh and blood, and she is in love with Wujiwu.
"In the past, Concubine Xian doted on His Highness, so how could she be willing to reprimand him?" The maid was on duty in Chuxiu Palace, but she was not a palace servant serving in the main palace.
At this time, another palace servant from Chuxiu Palace stood up and echoed: "What a coincidence, I also saw His Highness's eyes red yesterday. I wonder if he has been wronged in some way."
Mu Yao originally wanted to continue to inquire about the situation, but when she saw several palace people talking about the eldest prince being scolded by Concubine He Xian, she felt a little unable to sit still and planned to go to Chuxiu Palace.
Later, Guixiang reminded her that the eldest prince had not finished school at this time and should be in the study.
She turned around and headed up to the study.
When Mu Yao went to the study room, she found that the eldest prince was still in school, so she didn't bother him. When the eldest prince finished school, she stepped forward and showed a hearty smile: "Nian'er, do you still remember me?"
"Hello, Mu Jieyu." The eldest prince raised his little face without a smile.
Seeing the eldest prince's cute little expression, Mu Yao smiled even deeper: "I happen to be free, shall I take you back to Chuxiu Palace?"
When the eldest prince heard this, he refused: "There are servants in Chuxiu Palace, so there is no need to bother Mu Jieyu."
"No trouble, I'm just dropping off your kid. Don't forget, I'm your mother's biological sister, so how about you just let me drop you off?" Mu Jieyu was like Mu Ci.
Upon hearing Mu Ci's name, the eldest prince hesitated.
"Let's go, let's go, it won't take much time." Mu Yao took the opportunity to hold the eldest prince's little hand.
The eldest prince was a little resistant to Mu Yao's familiarity, but he was still led by Mu Yao: "Then there will be Lao Mu Jieyu."
"You're such a good boy." Mu Yao said, then said to the servants: "You guys will wait at a distance!"
The maids and chamberlains of Chuxiu Palace looked at the eldest prince at the same time, and when they saw the eldest prince nodded, they all moved away.
"Tell me the truth, has Concubine He Xian often scolded you recently?" Mu Yao asked in a low voice.
The eldest prince shook his head hastily: "No. My mother-in-law has always been tolerant to me, how could she reprimand me? Where did Mu Jieyu hear the rumor?"
"No?" Mu Yao looked at the eldest prince up and down.
The eldest prince nodded vigorously: "My mother is kind and generous. One time, I was naughty and made my mother angry. She just said a few words."
Mu Yao felt relieved when she heard this: "That's good."
As she spoke, she squatted in front of the eldest prince and looked at the little face that looked exactly like Dugu Lianyun. Her eyes were filled with love: "You look very much like a certain person. I would like to take you to meet him in my lifetime."
"Who is Mu Jieyu talking about?" the eldest prince asked curiously.
Mu Yao thought to herself, how great would it be if this was her child?
"A person who is very important to you will definitely have a chance in the future." Mu Yao said, and then asked: "Can I hug you?"
The eldest prince originally wanted to shake his head, but when he saw Mu Yao's warm eyes, he finally nodded shyly.
Mu Yao hugged the eldest prince the next moment: "I will carry you back to Chuxiu Palace."
The eldest prince blushed: "I can leave by myself, please let me down."
Shouldn't you give me a hug? Why don't you let go once you hug me?
"Let me hold you for a while longer, and I'll put you down soon." Mu Yao stepped back and begged.
The eldest prince believed it to be true, but when Mu Yao hugged him, Mu Yao finally let him go when he was approaching Chuxiu Palace.
"If you are wronged in any way in the future, you can go to Cuiwei Palace to find me. I love fighting injustices and will definitely avenge you." Mu Yao patted her chest and said to the eldest prince.
The eldest prince now had a good impression of Mu Yao, so he obediently agreed and entered the Chuxiu Palace.
Mu Yao looked at the child's back and thought that Dugu Lianyun was really cruel. Knowing that this was his flesh and blood, she still threw him in the palace and left him to fend for himself.
Didn't Dugu Lianyun ever think that Dugu Liancheng could threaten the eldest prince by taking him as a hostage?
To put it bluntly, Dugu Lianyun is so hard-hearted that he can ignore his own son.
After the eldest prince returned to the palace, a palace maid told Hu Bo how Mu Yao sent the eldest prince back.
Amber naturally explained the matter to Concubine He Xian immediately.
After hearing this, Concubine He Xian said softly: "Mu Jieyu is no better than the empress, so we should keep a closer eye on Nian'er to prevent anything from happening to her."
"Yes, your Majesty, I will explain it to you." Amber replied respectfully.
After that, Concubine He Xian called the eldest prince to her and asked him some lessons. Seeing that he had learned well, she allowed him to play.
Mu Ci was a little surprised when he learned that Mu Yao went to find the eldest prince: "That girl really went to find Nian'er and sent the child to Chuxiu Palace?"
She is really not afraid of gossip. If something like that happened, shouldn't she avoid Chu Xiu Palace?
"It's true, many people have seen it. The fourth girl has a big heart, which also shows that the fourth girl has an upright heart, so she went to see the eldest prince off." Sizhu said.
Mu Ci felt that Sizhu's words were quite reasonable, but he was afraid that Concubine He Xian would be wary of Mu Yao and not like Mu Yao getting close to the eldest prince.
"Sizhu, go to Yao'er and ask her to be more careful. I'm afraid that the person behind the scenes is still watching our movements and making a fuss about it..." Mu Ci explained in this way.
Sizhu followed the order and conveyed Mu Ci's words to Mu Yao word for word.
After hearing this, Mu Yao scolded: "The harem is trouble!"
You have to guard against this and that. How tiring is it to be a human being?
"Your Majesty is also doing it for the fourth girl's benefit. You are plotting against me, and I am plotting against you. If you are not careful, you will fall into the trap of someone with bad intentions. If the fourth girl wants to be safe and sound in the harem, she must be more thoughtful." Sizhu.
Said again.
"Go back and tell my sister that I will be careful and won't let that person have the opportunity to plot against me again." Mu Yao didn't want to listen to Sizhu's nagging anymore, so she dismissed Sizhu.
Walking around in Sizhu, Guixiang also advised: "You'd better be careful. You can't enter the palace alive and leave this place with no life. Didn't you say you want to stay with the master for the rest of your life?"
Mu Yao heard this and looked sideways: "Don't worry, I listened to what my sister said."
She hasn't found out the real culprit who harmed Mu Ci and her, so how could she let herself fall into the conspiracy?
"Just listen. I know you are quite scheming, but there are many scheming people in the harem, and none of them are simple..."
Guixiang talked for a long time and found that Mu Yao was distracted and didn't listen to her at all.
