"The Qin Empire has yet to establish a crown prince, which has led to a dispute between the third and fifth princes over the position of crown prince. Now, they all want to win over other kingdoms to become their own backers, with the larger one being the Da Xia Empire, followed by the Liang Kingdom."

"Right now, the entire Qin Dynasty is divided into two factions for the fight for the crown prince. The Third Prince and Imperial Concubine Yu, although the Fifth Prince does not have many powerful people in his harem, he is adept at persuading. Many of the older officials in the court are optimistic about him. "

Mu Wan Yun analyzed.

Rong Chu interrupted, "It should be the three sects." He dipped his finger in water and wrote a golden word on the table.

The Jin Kingdom's Duke, Yu Lie!

He was also the strongest competitor.

"He's not a prince!" Mu Yun blurted out.

Everyone laughed at her words.

"What's wrong? Is he really the Emperor's illegitimate child? " This made everyone laugh even more.

"So it turns out that you also have something you don't understand, Mu Huanyun." Rong Chu said. It seemed that no one planned to tell Mu Yun the truth.

Mu Yingyun said, "Although we know that Chunyu Hao wanted to form an alliance with the Da Xia Emperor and was then destroyed by the Fifth Prince, Imperial Concubine Yu's side should have made some moves. I heard Mu Yanran say that Chunyu Hao wanted her to return before New Year's.

Mu Wan Yun recalled that Jin Yu Lie had told Zuo Chenfeng to deliver the bun, and also arranged for her to monitor Dean Yao Ming's movements and find out about the Vast Expanse family. These were all obviously just to trick her, and to make her stay safely on Mount Kunlun so that she wouldn't wade through this muddy water.

"Wan Yun, you can do this alone." On the surface, it was just a dispute between the Great Qin Nation and the crown prince, but the internal affairs involved other countries.

It was not as simple as it seemed.

Suo Chu didn't want Mu Yun to be in danger, especially for Jin Yu Lie.

"Since you know what he means, why did you insist on coming in?" The leaf looked at Mu Yun without blinking.

"I know there are some things that belong to me and cannot be shared with others, but as a friend, I also want to do my best to help others."

These words caused everyone to fall silent.

He had never told anyone about his identity, but how could she not know how smart Mu Yunyun was? She didn't say anything because she truly treated herself as a friend.

The hidden secrets of Leaves were even more numerous. Although she couldn't even guess what was going on, she knew that Leaves actually belonged to Jin Yu Lie.

Situ was pure on the surface, but the identity behind his identity wasn't that simple.

If she really wanted to know, she had a lot of ways to investigate, and the reason she didn't do that was because she really treated these people as her friends.

Everyone was well aware of this.

"I know you are all very suspicious, but I don't know how things will develop nor can I explain it. But right now, I can't let anything happen to Jin Yu Lie."

Because perhaps only he could know the whereabouts of his foster father.

Rong Chu had searched through every inch of this land, but to no avail! As for where his foster father was, Mu Yun couldn't even find him.

If it hadn't been for her foster father six years ago, she and Amu would have died long ago at General Mu's estate.

She owed her foster father more than just her life. Thus, for the sake of her foster father, she had to protect Jin Yu Lie no matter what.

"If Jin Yu Lie was in charge of the Great Qin Empire, he would indeed be much stronger than the third brother and the fifth brother." Rong Chu said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Mu Yingyun tightened her grip on Rong Chu's hand, "Alright! "Thank you."

Mu Yunji placed the letter that he had written earlier into the hands of Rong Chu. "Hand the letter over to Jin Yulai for me." The snow had already completely sealed off the Mount Kunlun. If he wanted to go down the mountain again, he could only do it during New Year's Eve. It was very dangerous to leave the mountain at this time.

"You must be careful."

He put the letter into his pocket and smiled brightly. "Don't worry." As he spoke, he took out a red leaf and waved it in front of Mu Yunyun, "Don't miss me too much."

After speaking, a white shadow flashed by and Rong Chu had already rushed out.

After Mu Yanran accidentally saw the plum blossom on Leaves' shoes, her gaze towards Leaves changed.

As the New Year approached, there was a strange atmosphere on Mount Kunlun.

Recently, Xuanyuan Shishi and Mu Yanran had gotten closer to each other. Almost to the point of being inseparable, it was usually referred to as' older sister 'or' younger sister '.

Today's class was even more so.

Xuanyuan Shou'er had not been able to memorize this formation for a long time today, causing Elder Shui to fly into a rage. In the end, everyone left.

Mu Yanran consoled him, "You might not be able to go there. The colder the weather is, the more likely Elder Shui will turn into an Ice Elder."

Xuanyuan Shou'er laughed. "I was the one who implicated everyone. In a while, I will instruct the kitchen to cook some mutton and send it to the various courtyards to express my apologies."

"It's fine if you give it away. How about, I'll be the host, and everyone can come to my side courtyard to have dinner?" Mu Yanran suggested, "We've been in Mount Kunlun for almost half a year, and we've never met before. It looks like it's going to be the new year soon, so we might as well use this opportunity to gather."

This proposal received a lot of agreement.

Seeing so many people agree, Mu Yanyun was a little surprised. Mu Yanran really had a way with people and she managed to gather such a large team in such a short amount of time.

"Elder sister Wan Yun, do you want to come with me?"

She clearly wanted nothing more than to immediately kill the other party, yet she was still putting on such a show in front of the crowd. This was Mu Yanran!

Many people knew that they were at odds, but seeing Mu Yanran being so magnanimous, they couldn't help but admire her.

"Since you're so humble, no matter what, you're still in the same sect. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing if I didn't go?" Originally, she didn't want to join in on the fun, but since someone had the intention to arrange a Hongmen Banquet, she naturally had to attend.

"If even Mu Wan agreed, then what about you, Little Sister Ye?"

Her goal wasn't Mu Wan, but Ye Wen. However, it wasn't that obvious when she first invited Mu Wan and then invited Ye Wen.

"I thought Mu Wan Ying would refuse, but I didn't expect her to actually agree." "Alright, since you've invited the entire class, I'll go."

On the way back, her trusted aide Jadeite asked doubtfully, "Princess. Don't you hate her so much? Why is she participating tonight? "

Mu Yanran suddenly smiled and said, "Do you still remember the plum flower I drew the other day?"

Cui Yun thought for a moment, then nodded her head and said, "I remember, that day you specifically sent your servant to investigate, in the whole of Kunlun Academy, only Leaves' clothes had those plum blossoms embroidered on them. But what does it matter? "

"This has a lot to do with it. There are some things I want to see with my own eyes. "

At night, it was very lively in the courtyard Mu Yanran was in.

Even the five great elders came to show their support. However, the elders left after drinking a glass of wine in an interesting manner.

After the elders left, everyone seemed less reserved. Everyone was drinking and laughing, creating a mess.

During the meal, Mu Yanran raised her glass to toast everyone.

As the warm wine entered her stomach, her cheeks flushed red, her long and narrow red eyeliner slanting as she made up a red makeup. In addition to the feeling of drunkenness, she was indeed very beautiful at that moment, attracting the attention of others.

Mu Wan was sitting in an inconspicuous corner as she casually drank her wine, secretly observing her surroundings. Her gaze never left Mu Yanran.

I'd like to see what kind of trick you're up to.

However, Mu Yanran was like a butterfly shuttling back and forth among the crowd with her fellow disciples. There was nothing wrong with the two sisters raising their cups.

Leaves was the last to arrive. When she arrived, she was escorted by many martial sisters to the second table.

"Ye-jie, you arrived the latest. If you're late, then you need to drink three cups of wine."

"I don't know how to drink."

"We're all from the same sect, you can't be so disrespectful, right? "Elder Wu was late. He drank five cups."

Mu Huanyun narrowed her eyes. Mu Yanran's plan today wouldn't be to get drunk on everyone present, right? Today's banquet was focused on alcohol. No matter what the reason was, those who came would always get a few cups of wine.

Even Situ was no exception. He had been drunk three times and was still sleeping soundly on the side.

Now it was Leaves' turn.

Mu Wanyun couldn't figure out what Mu Yanran was doing, so she could only wait and see.

Steamed Bun was eating and drinking to the side. Suddenly, he looked up and said, "Are you here to eat and drink today?" Drunk, everyone's asleep! "

These words unintentionally moved Mu Yun's heart.

After telling her son not to walk around randomly, she walked over to Leaves' side and suddenly received the wine that others were trying to persuade her to drink. She said, "She doesn't know how to drink. I'll drink for her."

This time, someone said, "Everyone drank it today. It doesn't seem appropriate for you to help them out like this."

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. Three cups, how about I drink six?"

Leaves' heart was moved. Mu Yunji must have found out something that made him stick out his head for her. She said, "I really don't know how to drink. "Thank you, Senior Sister Mu."

She nodded at Mu Huanyun, and the two exchanged glances in the dark.

Everyone could only look on helplessly as Mu Wan Yun drank six cups of wine.

To Mu Yunji, these wines were like old beers. She wouldn't be drunk even if she had a dozen of them, let alone just a few.

Leaves did not drink her wine, but those people glanced at Mu Yanran intentionally or not.

When Mu Yanran noticed this side, she secretly blinked her eyes.

The crowd dispersed.

When Mu Wan returned to her role, Amu said in a low voice, "Mommy, they did it on purpose. I saw them give Princess Mu a meaningful glance. "

"I know. In a bit you and Situ will go back first. There are Jin Yu Lie's secret guards outside; you should know the secret signal."

"I know, Mommy, don't worry."

After everything had been arranged, the banquet was about to end.

Cui Yun used her eyes to tell Mu Yanran as she poured the wine. "No, the wine was blocked by Mu Wan."

I have to see it no matter what!

Cui Yun accepted the order.

After a while, a maid came up with some soup.

Cui Yun was standing not far from Leaves, but when she saw the maid carrying the soup over, she secretly extended her foot. The maid did not notice that the soup was being poured onto the leaves along with the rest of her body.

Seeing that a bowl of soup was about to be poured on Leaves' face, she reacted exceptionally quickly. She pushed her whole body to the side and took a step back, throwing out her hand as fast as lightning. She immediately grabbed the bowl, turned her body, and poured the soup into the bowl.

Cui Yun thought she would definitely succeed this time, but in the end, she failed.

She stamped her feet in anger.

It just so happened that at this moment, a Senior Sister turned around and accidentally stepped onto the side of the maid's skirt. The maid had just gotten up and was about to pick up the bowl of soup from Leaves' hands.

She stumbled forward and hit her head on the bowl. The soup spilled all over Leaves' body.
