Nightfall, Mu Yunjin stayed in her bedroom and Zi Xiang brought food into her room along with a pot of steeped flower tea.
Zi Xiang helped Mu Yunjin pour a cup of tea, and handed it to her. Mu Yunjin took the teacup, and lifted it near her lips, she smelled a familiar fragrance of flowers.
"Ei? Isn't this Shui Yun Temple's Flower Tea?"
"Yes, this servant especially ordered someone to go to Shui Yun Temple to ask, saying that Liu Huangzi Fei likes this tea."
Zi Xiang smiled.
"How did you know I like drinking it? I've only ever drank it once at Shui Yun Temple."
Mu Yunjin raised an eyebrow.
Zi Xiang smiled.
"This servant has followed Xiaojie for so many years, Xiaojie's disposition and character, how can this servant not know. That day at Shui Yun Temple, seeing xiaojie drink this tea and praise it, I knew at once that Xiaojie likes it."
Mu Yunjin sipped tea, and looked at Zi Xiang. She is somewhat glad that in this different world, there is still a person that is sincerely good to her.
After a few sips of tea, Mu Yunjin picked up her chopsticks, just as she is preparing to eat, outside the door a voice of a little maidservant resounded---
"Huangzi Fei, someone is outside the Fu claiming to be a maidservant from Xiangfu and wants to meet with you."
Mu Yunjin is startled and raised an eyebrow, a maidservant from Xiangfu?
"Zi Xiang, go outside and see."
Mu Yunjin commanded to Zi Xiang."
Zi Xiang nodded and immediately ran out.
Moments later, when Zi Xiang came back, she was followed by a little maidservant, it was Mu Lingzhu's current maidservant, Cui Yun.
"This servant Cui Yun, greets Liu Huangzi Fei"
As soon as Cui Yun entered the door, she knelt on the ground and gave Mu Yunjin a big ceremony.
Zi Xiang, in response, walked to Mu Yunjin's side, approached her and whispered in her ear.
"Cui Yun originally was a maidservant in charge of the laundry in the Xiangfu. After Hongxia died, Cui Yun was sent to Si Xiaojie as her personal maidservant."
Mu Yunjin nodded in comprehension, she looked at Cui Yun.
"It is so late, what is the matter?"
Cui Yun looked up, pursed her lips, seemingly hesitant, and then she reached out to the jade bracelet on her wrist and took it off, with both hands, she presented it in front of Mu Yunjin.
"What do you mean with this?"
Mu Yunjin glanced at the Jade bracelet which seems familiar.
"Today, this servant followed Si Xiaojie back to the Fu. Rong Wangfei deliberately made things difficult for Si Xiaojie. Afterwards, Si Xiaojie was angered, and made this servant spread rumors on the street. Saying that Rong Wangfei had scold Liu Huangzi Fei of robbing Qin Xiaojie's man. Furthermore, say that the Qin Family is secretly colluding with Rong Wang for the crown..."
When Cui Yun's words fell, she faced toward Mu Yunjin and knocked her head on the ground.
"This servant is terrified, I am well aware that if this rumor spread out, it will be a big mess. Right now I am unable to make a decision so I especially came to ask Liu Huangzi Fei to point to this servant a clear road. ”
"This jade bracelet is the reward given to this servant by Si Xaiojie ..."
Mu Yunjin listened to Cui Yun's words, she leaned against the chair and slightly narrowed her eyes, her thought, difficult to comprehend.
After a long time, Mu Yunjin gave a long sigh, and lazily opened her mouth:
"If Mu Lingzhu is second in acting recklessly, no one will dare claim first."
"You should get up first."
Mu Yunjin said to Cui Yun.
Cui Yun nodded and stood up, eyes red, looking at Mu Yunjin.
"This servant, not long ago, witnessed the tragic end of Hong Xia, do not want to take the same road as Hong Xia."
"Go back first, and when you go back, tell Mu Lingzhu that you did as she said."
Mu Yunjin said lightly.
Cui Yun is surprised.
"Mu Lingzhu has just gotten married, these days Rong Wangfei is bound to create many difficulties, I am afraid that Rong Wangfei has spies in all corners of the Wangfu, she will not have the leisure to care for this matter."
When Mu Yunjin's words fell, she got up, went to the side of the dresser, picked a not often worn white jade bracelet.
"This is for you."
Mu Yunjin put the white jade bracelet into Cui Yun's hand."
"This ..."
Cui Yun looked down at the white jade bracelet, a little puzzled.
Mu Yunjin raised the corners of her lips.
"You are a smart person, this is a reward you deserve, the one in your hand is only a jasper bracelet. Mu Lingzhu will see that you did not succeed in this matter, maybe she will ask for it back, I can not let you go empty handed."
"This servant thanks Liu Huangzi Fei , this servant will wholeheartedly be sincere to Liu Huangzi Fei and will extremely won't fail you."
Cui Yun knelt down again and wept with joy.
"Good, you should get up, our huangzi fei is not an oppressive person. You always kneel to do what?"
Zi Xiang lent Cui Yun a helping hand.
Cui Yun nodded and wiped her tears.
"Thank you Jiejie.”
After Cui Yun left, Mu Yunjin casually ate a few mouthfuls of rice, thinking about what Cui Yun mentioned.
Now it seems that after settling Su Biqing, a thousand of Su Biqing are waiting for her.
Qin family, is a big trouble.
..........
The next day, Mu Yunjin specially wore a simple dress in going out, her hair bun is simply pulled into a braided pigtail drooping down her shoulder. She is holding a veil in her hand, as she walks towards the back door of the Huangzi Fu.
Walking to the back door, Mu Yunjin happened to meet Chu Li and Ding Xian.
Glancing at the side of the carriage, Mu Yunjin looked towards Chu Li.
"Where are you going?"
Chu Li looked askance towards Mu Yunjin, he looked up and down at her get up and glimpsed her hand holding a veil. His eyebrow slightly furrowed.
"Where are you going?"
"I'll roam around on town."
Mu Yunjin twitched her mouth and swept a look at the parked blackwood carriage.
"You are going somewhere far?"
"En"
Chu Li nodded, not explaining where he was going.
Mu Yunjin is not surprised after experiencing it twice, this time, as to where Chu Li is going, she is not interested to know.
"Then, wishing you a pleasant journey, I'm going now."
Mu Yunjin waved her hand to Chu Li, then stepped out of the door, towards the direction of the market, while walking she wore her veil.
Behind, Chu Li narrowed his eyes at Mu Yunjin's back figure then gave a faint smile. His smile is somewhat helpless.
Ding Xian stepped forward and quietly opened his mouth.
"Your Highness, everything is ready. Are we going to pick up Qin Xiaojie now?"
"You should arrange for someone to pick her up and meet up in River Moon City."
"Yes, Your Highness."
..........
Mu Yunjin came to the market, from the start of her stroll up to the end of the street, she had been listening to a lot of people talking. She did not hear the rumor Cui Yun told her yesterday, she gave a slight sigh of relief.
Finding a secluded teahouse to sit down, Mu Yunjin sat on the second floor by the window of the private room, outside the window a minor path can be seen. The whole teahouse appears to be better than the City center's Ming Tea house, it was a little more peaceful.
Moments later, after the tea refreshments came up, Mu Yunjin grabbed a handful of melon seeds, carelessly tapped and glanced out of the window, a familiar blackwood carriage is passing through the minor road outside.
Mu Yunjin stretched her neck and looked at the horse carriage slowly passing. She saw Ding Xian sitting outside driving the carriage, needless to say, Chu Li must be in the carriage.
After the carriage went far, Mu Yunjin sat up, leaning against the window, the carriage disappeared in the direction they went in the past. Holding her head in thought, it seems to be the direction of the River Moon City ...
Mu Yunjin looked for a moment and saw this road is sparsely populated, and suddenly felt bored. If she knew it earlier she would've brought Zi Xiang out with her.
Coming here to drink tea and eat refreshments by herself is not worthwhile.
Just as she was about to leave, she glimpsed the path outside the window, a delicate carriage slowly came into view. Seeing the color and structure of the horse-drawn carriage, it looks valuable.
Mu Yunjin suddenly came in the mood, standing by the window she kept looking at the approaching carriage.
Outside the carriage at this time there was a man, as Mu Yunjin waits for the carriage to approach, a breeze blew gently, rolling up a corner of the carriage curtains, a delicate and graceful half of a face is exposed.
Mu Yunjin's eyebrow tightly wrinkled, and she seemed to be in a deadlock. After some time, that carriage and the blackwood carriage's path will converge. She inwardly smiled coldly.
Qin Muyue....
Chu Li brought Qin Muyue out.
..........
On the way back, Mu Yunjin's mood is not good, her mind is completely with Qin Muyue's exposed side face.
Her heart also began to doubt the relationship between the two people, if as they say that Chu Li and Qin Muyue were in love, then why did they not get married after their coming of age ceremony?
It seems heartless, indulging Qin Muyue every time and being involved, to serve as what?
River Moon City, River Moon City...
Mu Yunjin thought about it and she is reminded of the Black Lotus growing in a cave in River Moon City. Does Qin Muyue know about the Black Lotus' existence?
What are these people plotting to do?
Mu Yunjin felt that the more she thinks about it the more her mood worsen. By the time she returned to the Fu, it is already past noon.
"Huangzi Fei, you're finally back, where have you been? This servant had sent someone to search for you and had circled the city with no signs of you."
Shen Momo hastily welcomed her.
"What's the matter?"
Mu Yunjin asked as she sat down.
Shen Momo sighed.
"Qin Tai Fei sent someone to the Fu to invite you to the Palace to accompany her for a chat during noon meals, but it is already past the time for noon meals..."
Hearing Qin Tai Fei's name, Mu Yunjin nodded, and looked at the time.
"I'll just go and change clothes, before going to the palace."
"En, then this servant will send someone to the palace first to report."
Mu Yunjin returned back to her bedroom, and sat in front of the dresser. She let Zi Xiang help her to tear down the braided pigtail from this morning. From time to time she will sigh, can't lift up her mood.
"Xiaojie, what's wrong with you? Is it because His Highness is out, and you're not happy?"
Zi Xiang looked at Mu Yunjin and smiled.
Hearing Zi Xiang mention Chu Li, Mu Yunjin expelled a heavy sigh.
"Don't talk to me about him, It makes me upset."
"What happened?"
Zi Xiang is a little puzzled.
"It's nothing, you should move quickly, we'll be going to the Palace."
"Yes, Xiaojie."
..........
Half an hour later, The Fu's carriage stopped in front of the Palace. Mu Yunjin has just stepped out of the carriage when she saw another carriage.
Rong Wangfei, Qin Shuning slowly came down from the other carriage with the help of a servant.
Mu Yunjin originally wanted to pretend not to see her, but Rong Wangfei is sharp-eyed, she saw Mu Yunjin and called out loudly.
"Little niece-in-law, what a coincidence ah."
Hearing her call out niece-in-law, how could Mu Yunjin not call her Aunt Wang. Calling this Wangfei as such is not convenient.
As she was thinking, Rong wangfei had approached
"Little niece-in-law, where are you going?"
Rong Wangfei looked at Mu Yunjin with a smile.
Mu Yunjin pursed her lips, before faintly replying to Rong Wangfei.
"Going to Qin Tai Fei's place."
