These few days, Prince Li was a little frustrated.

When Zheng Ji saw him in the imperial court, he would always try to find out more about Mu Qianyu.

Han Qingyu had seen Mu Qianyu's true face before.

But what Zheng Ji saw was how Mu Qianyu dressed up after changing her appearance.

Just what exactly is going on? Zheng Ji was extremely perturbed in his heart.

Because things were unclear, the people from Han Family would not use this matter to do anything.

Therefore, the Han Family and people were anxious, Xiao Chengyi was also annoyed by them.

What made him even more annoyed was that Nangong Lin was still unconscious.

Nangong Lin had already been poisoned, and after taking that sword and losing so much blood, his injuries were naturally severe.

On the other hand, Mu Qianyu had not caused any trouble these past two days and was peacefully staying in the Duke Palace.

After two days of rest, Mu Qianyu's mental state had recovered greatly, and her wounds were healing very quickly.

However, once his martial arts were sealed, there was still no solution.

She idly strolled around the courtyard, and after looking at it for half a day, she turned to Yue Zhu and asked: "Are there no swings in this courtyard?"

"What does Miss mean?"

Yue Zhu looked at her with an astonished expression.

I don't know why she suddenly thought of the swing.

"Get someone to make one out of a vine. Otherwise, it would be so boring to stay here all day."

Mu Qianyu was imprisoned in this courtyard so she couldn't go anywhere else.

There were still guards guarding the gate, so even if she wanted to escape, she didn't have the ability to.

She did not have any martial arts left, so she did not need an expert like Luo Yu to look at her.

"This?"

When Yue Zhu heard that she wanted to make a swing here, she suddenly felt troubled. She couldn't bother her master with such a small matter.

"No?"

Mu Qianyu turned his eyes slightly, her tone did not sound friendly, but his cold eyes made Yue Zhu feel uncomfortable.

In the end, under Mu Qianyu's coercion, Yue Zhu had no choice but to look for the main butler, Lin Ze.

When Lin Ze heard about this, he also felt a headache. He did not know why Lady Mu was tormenting him like that.

However, he did not dare to disturb Xiao Chengyi with such a small matter. Thus, he ordered a servant who knew how to swing a swing to plant a swing in the courtyard that Mu Qianyu lived in.

The moon hung high in the sky, and the night breeze was slightly cold. The lazy stars scattered around the moon, emitting a faint yellow light.

It was already late in the night, and the Prince Li Palace was extremely quiet.

Mu Qianyu did not like being closely guarded, so after eating dinner, Yue Zhu and Yue Ying left.

The entire yard was silent. Not a single sound could be heard.

In the middle of the night, when he was supposed to be asleep, even the guards outside had changed shifts several times.

However, Mu Qianyu found a fruit knife and tore apart the Qiu Qianxue who was just finished stabbing it during the day.

The vines on the swing were extremely thick, to the point that they could even carry the weight of two people.

Therefore, she wasn't worried that the vine in her hand would drop her.

On the west side of the courtyard was a thick wutong tree. Beside the tree was the academy wall.

Mu Qianyu buckled the vine, and with a swing, it was wrapped around a tree branch.

He used his hands to pull on the vine to ensure that it was safe. Then, he climbed up the tree and slipped out of the western wall.

Coincidentally, the courtyard she lived in was the closest to the back door.

The food that was needed in the mansion was delivered from the back door, so the security at the back door wasn't strict.

She still had her knockout drops on her. When she reached the back door, she directly knocked out the guard and ran out as soon as she opened the door.

"You want to imprison me?"

After exiting the Duke Palaces' back door, Mu Qianyu turned around to take a look. Her eyes narrowed slightly, let out a cold snort, and said with disdain, "Not even a door."

After finally exiting the palace, his mood immediately became a lot better.

Although no one criticized her in the palace, she still felt like a bird that had lost its sky and had no freedom at all.

Even if he stepped through the door of the Royal Mansion, everything would be different.

However, before she could even take two steps, she suddenly saw a horse carriage slowly approaching.

It was strange that there should be a carriage on the road in the middle of the night.

"Your Highness, it's the Lady Mu."

A voice suddenly sounded in front of him, causing Mu Qianyu to feel extremely uneasy.

After a careful look, Luo Jin's face that was asking for a beating became clearer and clearer.

Mu Qianyu's face immediately darkened, she turned and fled.

Who knew what luck she had today? It was with great difficulty that she managed to escape from the Duke Palaces, and upon meeting anyone, she actually ran into Xiao Chengyi's carriage.

Mu Qianyu hadn't even run two steps when she saw a white shadow flash past and in the next moment, she was in the man's embrace.

Xiao Chengyi hugged her with one arm, and didn't stop his footsteps at all. He leaped up, and followed the same path as before to return to the Duke Palaces.

Mu Qianyu opened her eyes wide as she watched. After a short while, she went from the back door of the palace to her own courtyard.

Then why did she struggle to escape?

Was it fun to come and go?

When Xiao Chengyi brought her back, he had already woken up the guards outside the courtyard. Even Yue Zhu and Yue Ying had awoken when they heard the commotion.

"Who gave it to her?"

Looking at the vines still hanging on the tree, Xiao Chengyi frowned.

"Your Highness, please forgive me."

Yue Zhu kneeled down with a bitter face, and truthfully told her the truth.

She also didn't think that Mu Qianyu only wanted the swing for the vine.

"This King has reprimanded you harshly?"

Xiao Chengyi turned his head and stared at Mu Qianyu as he asked.

"Nope."

Mu Qianyu replied unhappily.

"Since you haven't, why are you running?"

She thought she knew how to behave these two days.

Unexpectedly, she had spent a lot of effort to escape.

"Your Highness, this question is really good. If you ask me why I escaped, then I would like to ask why you imprisoned me. What mistake did I commit?"

Mu Qianyu frowned at him, her beautiful eyes were actually filled with hostility. With a cold snort, she continued, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have brought that Nangong Lin back."

If he had known that he would be imprisoned today …

At that time, she definitely wouldn't have cared about Nangong Lin's life or death.

"This King didn't mean to imprison you."

Xiao Chengyi looked at her coldly.

"It's not your intention. You won't let me leave the manor!"

Mu Qianyu secretly felt around a few times, wanting to find a few silver needles to teach this guy a lesson.

However, Xiao Chengyi suddenly grabbed her hand, stared at her with a burning gaze, and asked: "What are you planning to do, is to plot against this king again?"

"Why not?"

Mu Qianyu's charming eyes turned, her words full of unwillingness to lose.

"If you have the ability, then go ahead and try."

Xiao Chengyi released her hand, turned around, and left. He instructed the guards outside the courtyard: "Watch her.

Looking at the white figure, Mu Qianyu's expression changed.

There were many rumors saying that the Prince Li was a gentleman, but why did he see this Xiao Chengyi as an absolute bastard?

"Miss, it's already late. Your servant will help you rest, right?"

Yue Ying looked at her helplessly, and looked as if she was about to cry.

Although they were not in charge of security, if the young lady escaped, Yue Zhu and her would not end up well either.

Yue Zhu's face turned even worse.

If she hadn't gone to look for Lin Ze, there wouldn't have been another swing in the courtyard, and Mu Qianyu wouldn't have nearly escaped either.

He really scared her half to death just now, thinking that Xiao Chengyi would investigate her.

Mu Qianyu did not even look at the two girls.

Since his escape had failed, he could only go back to sleep.
