When Mu Qianyu woke up, the pain in her body had already disappeared.

She opened her eyes in a daze, and a red veil came into view.

A familiar scene appeared in her mind. It seemed like she had been here before.

"That's great, Lady Mu has finally woken up. Quickly go and inform the Duke."

An excited voice rang in his ears, bringing with it a sense of familiarity.

With a slight turn of his eyes, he saw that the two girls who had served him the other day had appeared in his room.

Mu Qianyu immediately understood her own situation.

When he recalled the scene that night, his heart turned cold. Could it be that the person in black really was Xiao Chengyi?

Even if he wanted to steal the Seven-colored Lotus, there was no need for him to personally appear.

But now that she thought about his familiar temperament, Mu Qianyu no longer doubted him.

The person who saved her that night was indeed Xiao Chengyi.

She thought that Xiao Chengyi should already know her identity.

Although she hadn't interacted much with that man, he was definitely smarter than her. She had never denied this before.

Yue Zhu had already gone to invite Xiao Chengyi, but Yue Ying was still waiting in the house.

Mu Qianyu sat up and stretched her limbs. Other than the wound on her back which still hurt a little, the other injuries had actually already healed.

It was unknown what kind of divine being their medical skills were.

Since the mission was complete, Mu Qianyu decided to leave before Xiao Chengyi arrived.

He lifted the quilt and got off the bed, taking the whip with him.

It was something that belonged to her, so she naturally would not ignore it.

"Lady Mu, you can't leave."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Yue Ying anxiously chased after her.

"Get out of the way."

Pushing Yue Ying away without any explanation, Mu Qianyu continued to walk outside.

Because she had just woken up and her strength had yet to fully recover, she did not choose to use force. Instead, she planned to leave through the main door.

The Prince Li's Palace was very big and the environment was also very quiet. It was not considered luxurious, but it had a bit of a peaceful feeling to it.

Mu Qianyu did not know the path of the Prince Li Palace, and could only walk by feeling it.

Not long after he left the courtyard, he suddenly heard a stern shout, "Stop."

His voice was abnormally sharp, not a man's voice.

Mu Qianyu did not pay attention to the shout, thinking that it was from a girl from the Duke Palace.

Unexpectedly, the footsteps behind him gradually became hurried.

"Where did you come from?"

Before the other party had even arrived, he had already cursed at the other party.

Mu Qianyu stopped in her tracks and looked over. She was a young lady about the same age as him, with a small oval face, long slender eyebrows, exquisite features, snow-white skin, she was actually a petite and exquisite beauty.

The lady wore a green lapel jacket with a crimson cloud pattern cloak.

Dressed in luxurious and gorgeous clothes, she was definitely not a girl from an ordinary family.

The woman's face, which had originally been filled with anger, became even more distorted when Mu Qianyu turned around.

She pointed angrily at Mu Qianyu and scolded: "Leaving in the middle of the day while wearing your sleeping clothes, do you have any shame?"

Hearing her words, Mu Qianyu was slightly stunned. Lowering her eyes to take a look, she discovered that she was indeed wearing a moon-white nightgown.

He had only been thinking of leaving this place as soon as possible to avoid Xiao Chengyi, but in his haste, he forgot to change his clothes.

But so what? Regardless of whether she wore bedclothes or something else, what did it have to do with this woman?

"Greetings to Miss Han."

Yue Ying had already rushed over.

When he saw the woman, he only bowed with respect. However, he didn't show the slightest sign of abasement.

"Miss Han, Lady Mu is a guest of our Prince, I hope he won't make it too difficult for you."

Yue Ying stood up and said to the lady.

The lady was the direct daughter of the Department's Assistant Minister, Han Qingyu.

"Guest?"

Han Qingyu walked forward as her probing gaze swept over Mu Qianyu's body.

After looking at it for half a day, he spoke with quite a bit of disgust: "Prince Li has never had a woman in close proximity, why would she leave such a demoness by her side?"

She kept saying that she was a Spirit Demon, but she had pissed Mu Qianyu off.

In her previous life, she had already suffered all sorts of humiliation and in this life, she would never be bullied again.

She stood there silently and channeled her energy to recuperate, planning to speak to the Miss Han later.

"You …"

Han Qingyu suddenly thought of something, she stared at Mu Qianyu and asked: "Did you sleep with the Duke last night?"

Hearing the words' maid ', Mu Qianyu's expression changed, and her beautiful eyes revealed hints of killing intent.

The tender Miss Han didn't seem to realize this, but pointed at Mu Qianyu and scolded him: "Who exactly are you, to actually be fit to lie under your highness."

Crack.

Before he finished speaking, there was already an obvious five-finger mark on Han Qingyu's left cheek.

"You hit me?"

Han Qingyu was stunned, her almond-shaped eyes widened, staring at Mu Qianyu in disbelief.

This was the first time in her life that she had been slapped.

"If your mouth is dirty, I'll kill you."

With a slightly cold gaze, Mu Qianyu snorted and turned her body away in disdain.

"You bitch!"

Han Qingyu immediately scolded Mu Qianyu.

With that said, Mu Qianyu suddenly turned around and impolitely kicked Han Qingyu in the stomach.

She had recovered quite a bit of strength in this moment.

Therefore, he used all his strength in this kick, and the impact was not small. Han Qingyu was instantly sent flying by her kick, and coincidentally smashed into a large parasol tree behind him.

With a loud bang, Han Qingyu fell to the ground and fainted. She did not even have the time to shout.

"Mu …"

Luo Jin, who had rushed over after hearing the news, stopped after saying one word.

He was already late.

Furthermore, Mu Qianyu's ferocity was truly shocking.

He had actually knocked out a weak girl with a kick. Furthermore, the other party was the young miss of the Department of Public Affairs' vice minister's house.

"Yu'er."

Han Qingyu had just been kicked away by Mu Qianyu, and the middle-aged man in official uniform shouted out loud, she anxiously rushed forward.

Following them was a white-robed Xiao Chengyi and a blue-robed Nangong Lin.

Xiao Chengyi's and Nangong Lin's gaze were both on her, as for the Han Qingyu that was kicked away by her, no one seemed to care.

Seeing Xiao Chengyi coming over, Mu Qianyu did not say a word and turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, before she left, Han Ming had already shouted at her. "Insolent girl, you actually dared to harm my daughter!"

"Is your daughter dead? If she isn't, I can hit her harder."

Mu Qianyu looked at Han Ming who was shouting at him with ridicule.

If she remembered correctly, Han Family and Zheng Family belonged to the crown prince's faction.

If that was the case, then why would this Han Qingyu keep pestering Xiao Chengyi?

"You …"

Han Ming's face turned green because of her words, but he did not know her background, so he looked at Xiao Chengyi and asked: "My prince, I do not know who this woman is, how could he so viciously hurt my daughter?"

Nangong Lin had already walked over to help Han Qingyu take his pulse.

Although her life was not in danger, Mu Qianyu's actions were still ruthless. Miss Han would probably be able to stay at home and rest for the time being.

Thus, without waiting for Xiao Chengyi's reply, Nangong Lin said: "Rest assured Master Han, Miss Han is not at all life-threatening, we will return to recuperate for a few days, this Lady Mu is my patient, the reason why Lady Mu attacked Miss Han, I am afraid it was not because of her."

Mu Qianyu looked at Nangong Lin in confusion. Was this man a doctor?

His injuries were healed by him?
