Lu Qi then ordered a search of the palace, and finally found Hong'er who was kneeling outside.

Hong'er had been in the Soaring Cloud Palace for quite some time, and was usually quite quick-witted. Unfortunately, her hands and feet were not very clean, and right now, she was accusing herself of being unjustly accused. If not for Lu Qi's insistence, Su Mu would have suspected that she had truly wronged someone else.

It was very noisy outside. Hearing this, Su Mu was a bit irritated, so he slipped out the back door and returned to the quiet valley.

She had been very close with Lin Yi these days, so she rarely came here. Now that she had seen this, she realized that a lot of the flowers and plants had also died. In the blink of an eye, autumn was approaching, but she really didn't know how long she would be trapped in this palace.

At that moment, Su Mu raised his head and saw an old acquaintance. It was Liu Zichen.

Su Mu was embarrassed by his stare. After all, Liu Zichen was an outsider and rarely came to the palace, so he only visited Su Mu's palace once every month when he was 15.

However, Su Mu remembered that today was clearly not the fifteenth. In order to avoid Liu Zichen, Su Mu did not come to the Vale even though he was 15 every month. However, did she remember the wrong time today?

"Your servant greets esteemed wangfei, esteemed wangfei, don't worry, you didn't remember the time wrong, it's thirteen today. My royal father said that he wanted to bring me along to the palace to look at the empress dowager, and since I'm here, I must come and look at you. However, I haven't seen you here for a long time, so it's not good for me to come to your palace to look for you.

Su Mu looked at the silks and silks on her clothes. That's right, she was no longer the little Miss Su that she used to be. She had become the current Wai Concubine. She had become Lin Yi's legal wife …

"But, looks like you have something on your mind today. Just now, I saw you frowning all along, and it was only after great difficulty did you relax!" As Liu Zichen spoke, he stretched out his hand to touch Su Mu's forehead.

Su Mu quietly dodged it. It was impossible for a man and woman to understand each other's feelings, and her current identity was even more unique. If others were to find out that she had some sort of action against Liu Zichen, then Lin Yi would definitely not let them off lightly!

Su Mu then said to him, "Sir Liu, this place can be considered my best gift. I'm very happy, but if you come back in the future, I won't be coming …"

"Do you mind so much? Su Mu, could it be that you care so much that your name of 'Hui Fei' will be snatched away by someone else? "

Su Mu thought that Su Chen was angry when she said those words to Liu Zichen, but he didn't expect that when she turned around and looked at Liu Zichen, Liu Zichen would suddenly cover Su Mu's eyes. Su Mu's vision turned pitch black and her heart began to race as she said, "What are you doing? Let go of me!"

"Alright, alright. Su Mu, stop talking about me. Don't tell me that in your heart, you have never missed Wu Cheng? I thought you were bored, so I brought you a present. "

Su Mu felt as if his eyes lit up. He looked up and saw Liu Zichen holding a jade pendant in his hand. The pendant was crystal clear and there was a sense of familiarity with it.

Su Mu tried his best to recall where she had seen this jade pendant before.

Liu Zichen said, "Let me give you a hint. Wu Cheng, think about it!"

Hearing this, Su Mu finally remembered that she had taken a fancy to this jade pendant when she was in Wu City. However, there was only one left in Yu Xing Pavilion, why did it refuse to be sold to her, saying it was for someone else?

Because of this matter, Su Mu was depressed and unhappy for quite some time. Now it seemed that Liu Zichen was someone who had his own plans in mind. Su Mu looked at him gratefully and said, "Thank you, I really like it."

"If you like it, I'll give it to you." Liu Zichen generously passed the jade pendant to Su Mu.

Su Mu carefully placed it on her chest. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Isn't it about time? You …"

Liu Zichen looked at Su Mu and said to her, "Otherwise, I won't be leaving tonight. I'll be staying here with you because the emperor won't be coming over anyway. His majesty is still busy today, so I'm afraid that the matter with the imperial government is enough to make him anxious."

Su Mu was a little worried for Lin Yi. However, she didn't know how she could open her mouth to speak to Liu Zichen.

Lin Yi muttered to himself, "The plague is rampant in the capital now, and I'm afraid the emperor has already lost control of himself, so how could he have the leisure to look for his concubines like you? Don't worry, with your huge stomach right now, I won't do anything to you. I just want to find someone to talk to …"

Hearing Liu Zichen mention the plague, Su Mu couldn't help but think about what Zhuo Qingfeng had told him a few days ago. Could it be that the plague really came from that Wang Wu? Or was it related to Wang Wu's matter?

Su Mu was trapped inside the Imperial City day and night. She was practically never able to go out. She didn't even know what was going on outside. Zhuo Qingfeng would only occasionally come in and tell her some interesting things.

Su Mu felt a bit depressed. Fortunately, Liu Zichen told Su Mu about many interesting things. Su Mu was more concerned about the plague.

She asked, "Sir Liu, do you know that I have always been a doctor of medicine? I would like to know what this plague is all about?"

"How so? "Esteemed wangfei, the plague doesn't count. In my opinion, it shouldn't be too big of a problem. Perhaps some people who were thinking on the inside have thought of other ways!"

Liu Zichen didn't want to say more. Just as Su Mu was asking, someone suddenly barged in. It was Lu Qi.

Lu Qi knew the secret of Su Mu's hidden valley. Now, when she saw Liu Zichen, her face was filled with surprise. Before Su Mu could explain, Lu Qi kneeled on the ground and said to Su Mu, "Esteemed wangfei, you should leave quickly. The emperor is here."

When Liu Zichen heard the emperor had arrived, he looked around and said, "Since the emperor is here, I'll quickly hide. If the emperor sees this, I'm afraid he'll have to misunderstand a lot of things."

Su Mu nodded his head. Luckily, Liu Zichen was a very sensible person. Otherwise, Lin Yi would not have let this matter go.

Su Mu lifted her skirt and then said to Lu Qi, "Alright, let's go."
