"Your Highness, right now, it's like water and fire. If you don't act now, I'm afraid …" A scholar dressed in brocade robes urged him in a study in the Clear Mo Courtyard.
Murong Yu's expression was calm as he asked in a deep voice, "According to Mister Hong, who do you think is going to assassinate the crown prince?"
Today, only the crown prince and you are the only two princes here. No matter who tried to assassinate him, the real culprit could not be found, and the biggest suspect is none other than you. The people in Jincheng City are also discussing this matter, and many foolish people believe that this matter is related to the prince.
"This King understands. What is your opinion on this trip?" Murong Yu remained calm and collected.
Scholar Hong took a sip from his bowl and said, "I am indebted to Your Highness for saving me. I wish to become Your Highness's disciple and be a customer. I don't know if Your Highness would agree or not. If it's inconvenient, then I'll just pretend that I never said anything."
"Mr. Hong is an outstanding talent, the southerners are aware that even though the Japanese king only lent a helping hand, it is actually a very troublesome task. With a few rascals, Mr. Hong himself would be able to save him." Murong Yu raised his eyebrows. He did indeed need the help of talented people. He had helped Hong Wentao on the way here once, so they were in agreement as they had talked about this matter together. They had been friends since he was a child, but his life in the palace had taught him not to easily trust others.
"There are naturally capable people in the King's Mansion, I am being rude." Hong Wentao seemed to have the intention of retreating.
Murong Yu put down the teacup and cupped his hands, "If Mister Hong is willing to accept, then I will naturally welcome you. Hei Yi, head down and instruct the butler to make some arrangements for Mister Hong so that you can entertain him well."
"Many thanks, Your Highness. If Your Highness has any orders, I will definitely go all out." Mr. Hong immediately stood up and saluted.
"Sir is too courteous. Sir is a guest of the King's Manor. You can go ahead and take a rest for the time being. As for the assassination attempt on the Crown Prince, I would like to hear Teacher's opinion in a while."
"Yes!" This humble one shall speak everything without reserve. This humble one shall take my leave first. " After Hong Wentao left, a woman coincidentally walked in at the door.
The person who had come was Chen Ju`er. When she saw this Scholar Hong, she was shocked and the stew in her hands almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she was calm enough and quickly stabilized herself.
Chen Ju`er stabilized his emotions and smiled as he walked towards Murong Yu. "Your Highness, you've been busy in the study room for the past half day. Rest for a while."
"Jue'er made another pot of good soup? "It's been hard on you." Murong Yu's expression softened as he looked at Chen Jue`er with a smile. It seemed that he hadn't accompanied her for quite some time and she had never requested for him to do so. She had always quietly cared about him and made clothes and food for him with her own hands.
Chen Jue`er placed the soup in front of him and gently smiled as he said: "Prince, don't be too tired. Jue'er didn't do anything and had nothing else to do."
Murong Yu drank the soup and said, "Jue'er, in the future, you don't need to waste time thinking like this. You can do whatever you want and if you need anything, just tell the butler.
"Jue'er only wants to accompany you." Chen Jue`er smiled as she walked behind Murong Yu and pressed his shoulder. However, her eyes swept over to the formation diagram on the table.
Murong Yu closed his eyes with a tired expression. He didn't know what had happened to him recently. In the past, he had enjoyed Jue Er's company, but now, he didn't know what to say.
It had rained at night, and the green trees in the garden were even more verdant. The pink peach and white pear blossoms had already begun to wilt, and the cool breeze blew by.
However, the people in the flower room did not seem to be in a good mood. Chen Jue`er and Hong Wentao seemed to have met by chance and were admiring the flowers with different expressions.
Chen Jue-er's face was filled with unhappiness as he lowered his voice and said, "What are you doing here? "You don't trust me, do you?"
"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I want to remind you that if you can forget the past, I won't forget that he will definitely pay the price. You must think carefully about who will block my path." Hong Wentao broke off a peach blossom with a smile. Those who couldn't hear him must have thought they were talking about the beautiful scenery of the garden.
A trace of panic flashed through Chen Jue`er's eyes, "Why didn't you let me poison him directly long ago? I've been staying in this mansion for years by myself …"
"So you've been in love for a long time, haven't you? "Speaking of which, it's my fault. Who was it that wanted to personally take revenge?" Hong Wentao coldly said, "He can't just die like this, there's still a lot of uses."
"Then what should we do? His formation diagram will be kept in the secret room every day. I can't get the key there, and there will always be dark guards guarding the study. Even if we enter by day, we won't be able to find anything. What are we going to do with that thing?"
You can't even get a key after staying by his side for so long, and you still have the nerve to say that. It seems like he's not obsessed with you, and if you don't have any use for him, then I don't think he'll need to stay in this mansion any longer.
"Who said that I'm useless? I'm the most important person in this mansion, and other than the study, I don't care where I go." Chen Jue-er argued, unwilling to be outdone.
Hong Wentao coldly smiled and said, "Unfortunately, you're not the main wangfei. If you can really sit down and give birth to a son, then our plan can be changed a bit."
"Really?" How? " Deep in her heart, she really did not want Murong Yu to die.
"Forget it, it's still too early to say that. Now that I've entered the mansion, you don't need to worry about anything else. Since you like him, just focus on pleasing him." With that, Hong Wentao left with large strides.
Chen Jue`er glared at him hatefully before turning around to leave. At the same time, a person walked out from behind a tree not far away from where the two of them were standing.
Why was she constantly hearing about these schemes? She really didn't want to get involved in anyone's dispute. Back in the palace, she had pretended that she didn't hear it, but this time, the two of them seemed to be going against Murong Yu. However, she didn't have much evidence, so she was afraid that the Black Faced God Murong Yu wouldn't believe her even if she said nothing.
Furthermore, she was unable to understand what they were thinking of doing. With a look of vexation, Yun Sheng returned to his side yard empty-handed. Cui'er, who was heading for her breakfast, was sitting in her room crying with a wronged expression. There was not a single bit of food on the table.
Yun Sheng walked in to take a closer look and discovered that Cui'er's face was covered with a red palm-print. He immediately became enraged and pulled Cui'er up as he asked anxiously, "What's going on? Who did it? "
"Miss …" "Ugh …" Cui'er immediately hugged Yun Sheng Yue and cried out. Yun Sheng held her tightly and patted her back to comfort her. She knew that if Cui'er had not suffered such a great grievance, she would not have suffered such grief.
Was he really being bullied by others? She was already low-key enough, if someone wanted to go against her, she was not someone to be trifled with. If they had the ability, they would come straight at her, and the worst thing that could happen to her was that someone else had taken advantage of her. Only after a long time did Cui'er calm down, and sure enough, it was Chen Ju`er's maidservant who had done such a good deed.
"Miss, Miss, don't go, I'm fine …" Cui'er was once again afraid that something might happen, which would implicate the little miss. Her relationship with the prince was not good to begin with, and that Jue was always favored.
Seeing that she was following him at a fast pace, Yun Sheng directly grabbed her hand and said, "It's fine if you follow me. In case I find the wrong person. Tell me, which one hit you? Red Willow or Green Pingping?"
Cui'er's hand could not break free, so she could only shake her head as she walked.
"It's fine if you don't say it, but I don't care who did it. The two of them bully you quite often anyway." Yun Sheng headed straight for the Immortal Cloud Restaurant.
She walked confidently to the door but did not enter the room. Instead, she shouted from the door, "Red Willow and Lu Ping, hurry up and come out!"
This shout wasn't small. Not only did it startle the people inside the tower, even the servants outside heard it and rushed over. They all secretly looked around, wondering if esteemed wangfei could hold her temper any longer and went straight to Madame Jue. But why did she call those two maidservants? One or two of them, who knew what was going on, gossiped excitedly about what had happened in the morning.
This was exactly the effect Yun Sheng wanted. She wanted to kill one to one hundred and let everyone in the mansion know that her people could not be easily bullied.
"Hey, who do you think it is? Elder sister, why is it that the Immortal Cloud Restaurant doesn't go in to take a seat this early in the morning? " Chen Jue`er walked out gracefully. Early in the morning, her head was full of golden jade, shining with precious jewels. Her beautiful dress was extremely beautiful as she dragged her way, and she did not find it tiring.
Lu Ping and Red Willow were standing beside her with complacent expressions without the slightest bit of panic.
Yun Cangyue suddenly said with a laugh, "You sure taught a good girl. The two of you, come over and let me see what's so special about you."
Lu Ping and Hong Liu looked at their master. Seeing that she did not say anything, they raised their heads and took two steps forward.
"Pa, pa …" The two girls, one on the right and the other on the left, had a very obvious palm imprint on their faces. Yun Shengyue had learned martial arts and did not plan on showing mercy, so the two slaps were very effective.
The duo was stunned by the attack. They reacted after a momentary daze. They habitually wanted to return the blow, but their cold eyes immediately retreated as they turned to look at their mistress and cry.
Chen Juechen did not expect Yun Shengyue to make a move without saying a word. He was stunned for a moment before stepping forward with a dissatisfied expression and said, "Sister, what are you doing? If there's anything wrong with my girl, I can teach her myself. There's no need to trouble sister."
"Well said! "My little girl has her own teachings, no one can take her place. There is a sentence that everyone listens to." Seeing that there were quite a number of servants gathered, he could not help but raise his voice. "In this mansion, if anyone dares to bully Cui'er, who treats me slowly, these two girls will end up in the same situation!"
After saying that, Yun Shengyue did not even spare a glance at Chen Ju`er, whose face was turning green and white, before she turned and left. When Cui'er saw that Red Willow and Green Pingping's faces were as red and swollen as a pig's head, she felt an indescribable sense of comfort and hurriedly followed her master.
She had done so in violation of the agreement. On that day, the agreement said that she could not have any conflict with Chen Jue`er, but now, it was just a lesson to the servants. If he insisted that she had to endure, in any case, since she had a request for him, she could listen to him, but others should not try to bully her and Cui'er.
