Prince Mu did not expect Leng Qiyue to agree. He was stunned for a moment, then said joyfully, "Tonight, you will bring your child to the west gate. This prince will be waiting for you there."

Leng Qiyue agreed happily, "Alright, see you there."

Duke Mu happily left, but Leng Qiyue's lips curved up in a cold smile. There was going to be a good show to watch tonight.

The night came quickly, and just as the time came, a woman in a black cloak appeared at the west gate.

Duke Mu was dressed in black, and his handsome eyes were flickering with splendor. He grabbed the woman's waist, and was about to perform a lightness technique to climb over the palace wall. At this moment, countless Imperial Guards appeared on the city wall. Some of them were holding torches, while others were holding bows and arrows. Each of them had a full bow, and their sharp arrows reflected the fiery light with a strange glow.

At the same time, countless soldiers holding torches appeared below the city wall and surrounded the Mu King and the rest. Dongfang Haotian looked at the two with a cold expression.

Seeing the state he was in, Prince Mu knew that he wouldn't be able to escape. He cupped his hands in an unrestrained manner and asked, "Your Majesty, why did you appear so late at night?"

Dongfang Haotian coldly said: "And why did Prince Mu appear here?"

Prince Mu calmly replied, "The palace is too stuffy. This king plans to head out of the palace to take a look around."

Dongfang Haotian continued to sneer: "Why did Prince Mu bring my concubine when he left the palace?"

Duke Mu was still smiling lightly. "Which is to say that I brought His Majesty's concubine out?" With that, he pulled at the woman's cloak, revealing her face. It was Han Liu.

Dongfang Haotian was stunned for a moment and then asked: "Why is it you?"

Han Liu kneeled on the ground and said, "Your servant greets Your Majesty. Your servant begs Your Highness to bring me out of the palace."

Dongfang Haotian's expression eased by quite a bit, "If you want to leave the palace, you can ask the Internal Affairs Bureau in the morning. Why do you have to beg Prince Mu to bring you out so late in the night?"

Han Liu calmly replied, "Because the city gates are already closed, and this servant can't get out. The First Prince was shocked when he fell into the water today, and this servant will go to the palace when I'm still young to beg the Yu Family for some good fortune to calm the First Prince down."

"Oh? The First Prince fell into the water? " Dongfang Haotian's eyes turned cold. Such a big thing, no one had actually told him.

Duke Mu asked, "Your Majesty, if you don't wish to pray for the First Prince's blessings, then this king will return."

Dongfang Haotian glanced over the scene, thought for a moment and said: "Someone, open the gate. Cheng Lin, escort Han Liu to pray. Duke Mu, please go back. "

Duke Mu smiled faintly and walked towards the chamber with ease.

Han Liu was escorted out of the palace by Cheng Lin.

Dongfang Haotian didn't return to the main hall but instead went straight to the side hall of the Mu Xiang Palace. When he saw Leng Qiyue, he asked, "Why did Liu Han and Prince Mu appear in the west gate so late in the night?"

Leng Qiyue did not stand up to greet him. She was half-lying on the bed. "Your Majesty, this question should be addressed to the person who leaked the information to you."

Dongfang Haotian didn't mind her disrespect. He sat down on the bedside and said, "I'm really afraid that you'll run away with him."

Leng Qiyue giggled and said, "This servant isn't that stupid. It's just a little trick, this servant won't fall for it."

Dongfang Haotian took out the Wandering Dragon Jade Pendant and gave it to Leng Qiyue, saying, "Take it. You can leave the palace at any time you want."

Leng Qiyue was a bit surprised. She didn't think that Dongfang Haotian would give her the freedom to leave the palace, so she was a little touched. But when she thought of Lu Sisi's jealousy came back, she threw the jade pendant away and said, "This servant is only here for a long time. I can't take it. It's better that the emperor give it to Lin Fei."

Dongfang Haotian put the jade pendant that she had thrown back into her hands and said, "Do you really think she's pregnant?" After he finished speaking, he stood up and left without waiting for Leng Qiyue to react.

This time, it was Leng Qiyue's turn to be puzzled. Listening to Dongfang Haotian's words, could it be that Lu Sisi was faking her pregnancy? The empress dowager was Ruse's mother by blood. With her directing, there was no need to be afraid of being found out. It seemed that the empress dowager really was going to put Ruse in the position of empress.

The next day, Han Liu was escorted back by Cheng Lin. When she saw Leng Qiyue pull her to the side, she whispered, "Your guess is correct. As expected, the Emperor went to arrest the traitor."

Leng Qiyue smiled and gratefully said, "Xuanliu, it's all thanks to you this time. It's a good thing you're fine, otherwise my conscience would have been unsettled."

Han Liu rolled her eyes and said, "Oh come on, you also calculated that I wouldn't be in any danger, so you let me go. I know you won't push me into the fire pit."

Leng Qiyue chuckled, "That might not be the case. Who knows? One day, I might even push you into a fire pit."

Han Liu ignored her and asked, "Strange, Prince Mu didn't see my face, so how did he know I'm not you? "Could it be …"

When Leng Qiyue saw that Han Liu was looking at her with a puzzled expression and had a "adultery" look, she hurriedly said, "I don't know. I don't have a relationship with him."

Han Liu asked with suspicion, "Then how did you know that the emperor went back to arrest the traitor?"

Leng Qiyue pulled Han Liu to sit down and said, "Actually, I saw that Mu Fei's gaze was off. I only suspected that she would go and report. My heart isn't certain either."

"Sigh …" Han Liu sighed. Be careful, the people in the imperial harem are not to be trusted. Who knows, I might be coerced to do something that would let you down one day. "

Leng Qiyue sucked in a breath of cold air. What Han Liu said was right. The harem was like hell, and those who survived were not good people. If others were bad, then you had to be even worse. Otherwise, you would only be skinned alive and have your bones torn off.

Han Liu patted Leng Qiyue's shoulder and said, "Do your best, I'm leaving."

Leng Qiyue saw Han Yunxi out the door but saw that Mu Fei's palace maid, Xiao Lian, was sneakily hiding behind a pillar. It was likely that Mu Fei had sent her to scout things out. She decided to pretend she didn't see it, since it was useless trying to make things difficult for her.

Returning to the house, Leng Qiyue found another enemy. After calculating, only Han Liu and Xuehua were still friends, so her days were really sad.

However, Leng Qiyue lived a peaceful life after this. No one came to disturb her, not even Lu Sisi. However, listening to the chattering of the maids, hearing that Ruth had a violent temper after she became pregnant, she often beat up the maids, so that no one was willing to serve her at the Fragrant Forest Palace.

Leng Qiyue smiled to herself. "Fake pregnancy? Let's see what you will give birth to then."

Ignoring Lu Sisi, Mu Fei hadn't left her house for the past few days. Even Leng Qiyue, who lived in the palace, couldn't see her. She didn't know what kind of plan Mu Fei was planning.

The feeling of being in a passive state was very unpleasant. Leng Qiyue even hoped that someone would make a move. This way, she would be able to break it apart. She was afraid that this predawn silence would cause her heart to become even more anxious.

"Leng Chang Zai, esteemed wangfei is looking for you." Little Lian came to the side chamber and shouted.

Leng Qiyue frowned. Mu Fei was looking for her? Was he going to make a move? Since you want to make a move, then grandaunt will take it. With the Emperor's Roaming Dragon Jade Pendant, you wouldn't dare to make a move on me.

When he arrived at the main hall of the Mu Xiang Palace, Leng Qiyue was surprised to find that the Mu King was also there. His expression was not good, and even the smile that always hung on his lips had disappeared.

When Mu Fei saw Leng Qiyue, she sneered and said, "Elder brother, your estate already has three wives and four concubines. Why do you keep thinking about her?"

Prince Mu said with a cold expression, "You don't need to care about this. Tell me, why did you inform me?"

Mu Fei chuckled, and said while looking at Leng Qiyue, "Didn't she also not go? "Why don't you ask her why she didn't go?"

Duke Mu frowned and glanced at Leng Qiyue before he continued to ask Mu Fei, "This king is asking you."

Mu Fei laughed loudly and said after laughing for a while, "At that time, you used Qingyun's life to threaten me, so I had no choice but to come to reconcile. Originally, I had reached an agreement with the Emperor. If I don't have a son, I will be sent back to the country a year later. You, you actually killed Qing Yun in order to fight for the position of crown prince with your eldest brother.

Leng Qiyue felt a headache coming on. She was actually involved in the battle between these two siblings. The harem was truly frightening.

"Qingyun, I'm not the one who killed you. It's up to you whether you believe me or not," Duke Mu coldly snorted.

When Mu Fei heard this, she knitted her brows and thought for a moment. Suddenly, a fierce glint appeared in her eyes as she said hatefully, "Could it be him?"
