"Esteemed empress dowager, don't be angry. You have to take care of your phoenix body." The empress dowager quickly stepped forward to console her, dexterously massaging the empress dowager's shoulders.

"There's something wrong with that child Mu Ying today." Her Majesty rubbed her temples and spoke slowly. There was no mother in the world who didn't understand children. Despite the fact that Mu Sheng had concealed it well, the empress dowager could tell from his expression that something was amiss just from looking at him before and after the engagement was annulled. When he looked at the Pear Blossom Cake in his bowl afterwards, he had only eaten two mouthfuls in total. This was too different from before.

After being in the palace for so many years, the Empress Dowager had long since been able to easily decipher these expressions, from a small and delicate girl to the empress dowager's position in recent days.

"The Seizure King is too big, I have my own thoughts." Senior Servant Gui sighed with emotion. She was the one who brought up this Mu Ying up. At this moment, she also had some of her own motherly feelings towards him.

"From what I see, she seems to have some interest in this Xue Luoyun." The empress dowager spoke the truth.

Senior Servant Gui didn't say anything, but she was secretly happy for him. Xue Poyun and her were a perfect match. But from the Empress Dowager's point of view, she didn't think much of the marriage, so she didn't dare say much.

"Oh right, send a few people to observe the conquest of kings and see why he's been so busy these days."

"Yes."

"You also know that I had a grudge against her because of that. This matter made the relationship between This Dowager and the Emperor very bad. Although this person is no longer here, This Dowager no longer wants her child to be associated with her daughter. " The empress dowager said to herself.

When Senior Servant Gui heard the empress dowager's words, her heart sank. She couldn't help but worry for Xue Ruoyun. She really was a bitter child.

While the two were chatting, an eunuch suddenly came in and knelt down to report. "A report for the empress dowager. Princess Changle requests an audience."

"It's Changle, hurry up and summon her in." When the Empress Dowager heard of the arrival of Princess Changle, the worry on her face disappeared and was replaced with a smile.

After the eunuch left, a slim and graceful woman leisurely walked in. She was dressed in luxurious and expensive clothing. Her features were delicate and pretty, but there was a bit more willfulness between her brows, and a bit less liveliness.

"Your son greets the Queen Mother." A gentle voice rang out, it was Changle's gentle and virtuous reverence.

"Zhang Le, you're here. Come, sit down." The empress dowager waved her hand.

"Yes." After Princess Changle had finished bowing, she sat down at the table and ate together. Her eyes, however, secretly scanned the surroundings.

The empress dowager caught her movements in one glance and understood most of it.

"Zhang Le, you're looking for your royal brother Mu won."

With the empress dowager seeing through his thoughts, Chang Le didn't feel ashamed and said magnanimously, "This child heard that Big Brother Mu Ying also came to the palace to visit mother today, so why is there no trace of him? Could it be that you haven't come yet? "

"He came earlier. Because of some urgent military matters, he just left not long ago."

"Oh," Longbottom replied, unable to hide the disappointment on his face.

When she heard yesterday that the empress dowager was summoning her, she was so excited that she said she would pay a visit from today onwards. She was so excited that she stayed up all night. He had woken up early this morning to wash up and rush over, but he was still a step too late.

At this moment, Chang Le was inexplicably agitated. It was all the fault of that servant girl this morning that he had washed him too late. He was blaming himself for taking too much time to choose his clothes. In short, he had chosen all sorts of things that shouldn't have happened. If he knew that Zhang Xuan had left so early, he would have worn one anyway. No matter how well dressed he was, there was no one who appreciated his attire.

When Mu Sheng returned to the manor, he was extremely upset. Today's mood was completely different from yesterday's. It was as if the sky could never predict the wind and clouds. People were not as good as the heavens. Last night, when he dreamt of Xue Ruyun flying away, he was glad that he had only had a nightmare, but it turned out that this dream had already hinted at the unhappiness of today. If he had known this would happen, he would have brought Xue Luoyun into the mansion earlier. This would have saved him a lot of trouble later on.

Mu Sheng paced back and forth in the main hall. At this moment, he was extremely anxious to see that figure. But when he thought back, he had no reason to see her. Moreover, she had just broken it last night, so if he were to go again today, he would inevitably fall for it. He could only bear with it.

The three months of confinement are hard to bear.

"Freedom is like this. When you put it away, you don't think it's that important. Only when you're deprived of your freedom will you know how to cherish it. There was once a comfortable freedom placed in front of me, I didn't cherish it until I lost it.

Yun Zhi brought in her lunch. She saw Xue Ruoyun in her room and sighed with emotion.

"Miss sang a good poem." Yun Zhi praised.

"This is not a word, this is. Forget it, you won't understand even if I explain it to you. " Xue Luoyun helplessly shook his head.

"Oh, by the way, how are the preparations I asked you to make?"

"This servant is ready, but Miss, are you sure you want to do this?" Yun Zhi closed the door then carefully closed the window. She mysteriously took out a bag from her chest pocket.

Xue Ruyun opened it to take a look, then happily took out the clothes inside.

"Miss, Master has punished us for three months. We have already endured for two months, if not, time would quickly pass. If we were to be discovered by the Old Master, we would truly be in trouble, you will definitely be punished … " Yun Zhi tried her best to console him.

However, at this time, Xue Ruyun didn't listen to her at all. She threw a set of clothes to Yun Zhi, urging her to quickly change into it. "Stop nagging."

"Ah, young lady, this … this isn't good, is it?" The usually conservative Yun Zhi did not dare to do such a thing, holding her clothes and standing on the spot.

"Are you going or not? If you aren't going, then stay in your room. I'll go first." As he spoke, Xue Luoyun made a gesture to leave.

"I'll go, I'll go, miss, wait." Lange had no choice but to change her clothes. Two men sneaked out the back door.

In this small courtyard, Han Li and the others had been stabbed by Xue Moyan's trap ever since. No one dared to wander around the small courtyard again. Even the people looking after him would only patrol around the entrance of the small courtyard, rarely going in. Thus, at this moment, Xue Luoyun and the others had slipped out without anyone noticing.

"Ah, the air outside is really good." Xue Moyan breathed heavily and stretched lazily.

During this period of time, she had been confined in a small courtyard and had been holding back her anger. There was no internet and no cell phone. It wasn't easy to find a few books, but she had to read them over and over again. Right now, the only thing that would bring her joy would probably be the security of the small courtyard.

She had already drawn up the blueprint a long time ago, and had revised it many times. All she was missing was a few tools. Xue Duan Sheng strictly ordered her to not be allowed to mess around with these random things. Thus, she was unable to instruct the servants to prepare them, so she could only sneak out to buy her own.
