"How is it, have you found anything?" After finally seeing her figure again, Qu Xue'er hurriedly asked.

Since she knew that Gu Xiao was fine, then a bigger problem had come. Who was the little girl who sent the message to her before? Whose is she?

Unfortunately, he had spent too little time in the palace and didn't have any trusted aides of his own.

Qu Xue'er had no choice but to find a palace maid who was with him before and have her take her command medallion to search every corner of the palace. If that woman was someone from the palace, she would definitely be able to find them.

Gu Yue shook her head. "princess, this servant has already searched through many places, but I still haven't found the woman in the princess' portrait, not to mention the fragrance she mentioned."

Impossible … Qu Xue'er frowned.

If she couldn't find him, who could she belong to? She hadn't been in the palace since she was nine years old, and if someone tried to curry favor with her, she would definitely leave behind her name and she wouldn't have any friends in the palace.

Qu Xue'er's mind was in a mess, she did not have enough power, in the imperial court, other than his mother, there was no one else to help her. Before she could find the person who kidnapped Gu Xiao, another unknown force appeared on her side.

"Forget it, you can withdraw first. My head is aching, I want to rest for a bit."

Seeing her like this, the palace maid knew that her status was low and did not dare to say more.

Qu Xue'er massaged her throbbing temples. Whether or not she should seek the Queen Mother for help with this matter, although the Queen Mother has never expressed a clear attitude towards her marriage …

Previously, she had begged her mother to help her see if Gu Xiao was alright and her mother had agreed. Did that mean that her mother was supporting her?

Qu Xue'er made a wild guess.

Yes, he had to find his mother for help. He had to understand this matter before the Hundred Blossom Banquet, otherwise, it would be too late by then.

Lu Yanxin slowly took a sip of her tea. She looked calm and collected, as if all of this was just some insignificant household stuff that they were talking about.

"It seems that it's been a long time since I've gone to Yan Shi Fei's place. Since I'm free today, I should go and pack up. I even heard that Yan Shi Fei was quite ill, so I should prepare some medicinal ingredients."

Jade Peaches accepted the order and immediately went down to prepare.

He had just attacked her at the Prince Jing's Mansion yesterday, and had dared to openly enter the palace today. Prince Jing's Wife, this woman is not simple.

According to the meaning behind the man's words, she should be the only one who would dare to embarrass him this time. Since she came to the harem, was there a need to fear that he wouldn't be able to avenge her?

The corners of Lu Yanxin's dark red mouth hooked up into a bloodthirsty smile.

"lady, empress is here."

Mu Hanyan was happily chatting with Feng Xiwu when she heard the sound of water flowing outside the house, "Greetings empress, empress is thousands of years old."

Feng Xiwu's eyebrows twitched, she had almost forgotten what happened yesterday. This Queen must be here to seek revenge for the 'shame of yesterday', wouldn't that mean he had implicated Big Sister Yan?

When Lu Yanxin brought a large group of palace maid Eunuch in, Mu Hanyan was the only one in the room who was sitting on the Imperial Noble Consort's bed reading a book leisurely. Her posture was very lazy.

"Ah, why didn't Big Sister send someone to inform us? It's my sister who is rude. "

Mu Hanyan turned a blind eye to the people behind Lu Yanxin and slowly closed her book as she stood up to welcome them.

"No worries, it's been a long time since I've come to visit my little sister. I heard that my little sister was sick, so I specially found some medicinal herbs to bring over. The Emperor loves my little sister so dearly, little sister should pay more attention to her health."

Ignoring the fact that this was Mu Hanyan's bedroom, Lu Yanxin directly sat down without a formality. Jade Peaches at his side quickly poured her a cup of tea.

"Big sister, thank you for your troubles. I'm still sick. I've taken so many pills, but I'm still good and bad. I'm afraid I won't be able to recover."

Mu Hanyan slowly tidied up her messy clothes and replied as if he knew what she was saying.

Seeing her relaxed look, Lu Yanxin lowered her head and drank her tea slowly, while the few palace maid s behind him looked around randomly.

There was no sound in the house for a while, Lu Yanxin played with her nails, while Mu Hanyan sat on the Imperial Noble Consort bed and stared straight at her.

"Ha ~ Then since little sister is not feeling well, and the medicinal ingredients have been delivered, I'm also a bit tired, so I'll go back first. Little sister should remember to take good care of my body."

After a long while, as though it was about time, Lu Yanxin stood up and brought her group of people away.

When Mu Hanxuan came over, he coincidentally bumped into a group of palace maid Eunuch's who were standing outside the door. This scene was quite spectacular, even more so than when he met the Grand Princess.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Mu Hanxuan hid to the other side of the corner.

"Xi Wu? "You …" Mu Hanxuan entered, not knowing what to say when he saw Feng Xiwu's miserable state.

Feng Xiwu's face was flushed red, but this did not cover her bad complexion. Noticing Feng Xiwu's unhappy expression, Mu Hanxuan decided to find a good reason to head out.

However, Feng Xiwu still shot him a glance. This glance made her even angrier, as she realized that he was actually smiling! He actually dared to laugh at me!

"Alright, don't be angry. Actually, you don't have to hide. " Mu Hanyan gently brushed off the dust on her face. She must have seen the expression that her little brother had just showed.

"Xuan isn't that much older than you, so don't be angry."

Feng Xiwu nodded her head gloomily. She had only applied makeup on Prince Jing this morning, how could she be so unlucky? She originally wanted to escape the punishment of the Great Demon King, but in the end she chose the wrong place.

It would be better to let Zi Lan take her to admire the scenery.

"lady, the hot water and clothes have been prepared." Qing Shui reported from outside.

Mu Hanyan coaxed her like in the past, "Be good, go take a bath first, and after you've washed up, come out for lunch." Although Feng Xiwu was unhappy, she had made it herself, so she could only accept it.

Following Qingshui out the door to the right, an elegant private room appeared in front of her. Big Sister Yan's eyesight had always been good, and the various arrangements in the room were also very beautiful.

The big wooden barrel in the middle of the room was already filled with hot water, and beside it were the two palace maid that served her.

"Big sister, Xiwu, she … she met the empress when I was coming over just now. She didn't make things difficult for you, did she?" Only after he was sure that Feng Xiwu had left, did Mu Hanxuan come in again.

Mu Hanyan's eyes were warm and gentle, "Don't worry, look at me, isn't I fine?"

That was true. Elder sister had been in the palace for so many years, so the empress probably wouldn't dare to do anything to her. She was overthinking it.

"Lunch is almost ready. Stay here and eat with me and Xi Wu later. It'll be more lively with more people."

Mu Hanxuan nodded, then thought back to when he met the Prince Jing in the temple.

"Big sister, what do you think of the Prince Jing?"
