"Take good care of these plants. If even one of them dies, you will be the ones to ask."

After leaving the Eastern Palace, Xue Ruyun carried a small plate of Iron Thread ferns and went to find Mu Zheng. Previously, she had promised him that as long as she came to see the crown prince, she would definitely visit him.

"Why are you being so formal this time and even sending me a present?" Mu Zheng looked at her as if she was a precious treasure as she held the green plant in his hand.

"This is to prevent fatigue in the eyes. If you get tired from approving papers in the future, just take a look at it. and clean up the air around you, and put a little basin on the table that's really nice, and that's what we do over there. "

Mu Zheng was very happy as he didn't expect him to care so much about himself. He didn't know what the reason was, but he still agreed and ordered his men to take the plant away.

"Oh yeah, you came just in time. I just happened to have something to tell you." Mu Zheng seemed to recall something.

"What is it? Tell me."

"The annual hunting competition of the Royal Family is coming soon. You must attend it when the time comes."

"Ah?" Can you not attend? "

"No. Then do I have a choice? " Xue Ruyun rolled his eyes at Mu Zheng as he helplessly said.

Seeing that she seemed unwilling, Mu Zheng quickly comforted her. "Very interesting. You can go to the woods and ride your horse around and show off your skills. In the end, even those who had the most prey were heavily rewarded. If you're successful, you might be able to get the top spot. When the time comes, you'll definitely feel that this trip was worthwhile. "

Xue Ruyun thought about it. "Fine."

That night, Mu Zheng carefully placed the plant on the table. Only then did he begin to review the imperial reports. In his heart, he had always been wondering the reason for this gift. However, seeing that ever since he had gotten rid of the knots in his heart, he became more and more happy and at ease, Mu Zheng was already extremely moved. He hoped that he could keep her by his side forever and bring up that matter again after a period of time.

It was only when he went to Mu Zhuozhi's palace one day and saw that the entire room was filled with flowers and plants gifted by Xue Ruoyun that Mu Zheng's heart felt like it was overturned by jealousy. So Xue Ruyun had actually given him this much. He came back and looked at the plant, so angry that he wanted to throw it away. He picked it up and put it down, unwilling to part with it. After some thought, he carefully poured the water into it.

After all, she was a woman, and her thoughts were meticulous. Seeing the crown prince gradually becoming cold to him, and seeing that the crown prince didn't care for the crown prince for many days, Xue Lianyun felt even more hatred in his heart.

On this day, she went to the palace to visit the crown prince. However, she was rejected at the door, saying that the crown prince was not feeling well and wanted her to come visit another day.

"Then can I trouble eunuch to give this chicken soup to the crown prince for me? I'm sorry but you have to hurry up. This has just been cooked. If you're late, it'll get cold." "Yes." The eunuch answered and shook his head helplessly. He brought it to the Crown Prince's Palace and drank it for himself as usual.

"This chicken soup is very thick, but it tastes really good. It's just that the crown prince's body isn't suitable to drink this kind of thing, so she doesn't know to change for anything else." Although this Miss Xue San may seem concerned, she is actually not concerned at all. " The eunuch shook his head and finished the chicken soup in one gulp.

Ever since his attempt to assassinate the crown prince failed, Mu Lingfeng had been silent for a long time and did not dare to move rashly. He originally thought that Mu Zhuo wouldn't wake up, so he tossed the black pot to Xue Ruoyun's back. He didn't expect that things would go the other way. Not only did Xue Luoyun dispel all suspicion, but even Mu Zhuoyun had woken up because of her. This made Mu Lingfeng's hatred towards Xue Luoyun increase even more.

After the wind died down, Mu Lingfeng started to get restless again. He never stopped on the way to being a favorite. He had sent Xue Shaoli to test him multiple times, wanting to find out where the Nine-Eyed Sky Jewel was stored. Unfortunately, Xue Duan Sheng's concealment was deep and he never let his guard down. Every time he encountered the matter of the Nine-Eyed Sky Jewel, Xue Duan Sheng would not say a word, not mentioning it at all, no matter how hard Xue Shaori tried to probe him out without revealing any trace.

Perhaps it was because this time, Xue Ruyun had saved the Crown Prince, causing Xue Li Sheng to feel that there was a possibility for their old relationship to be rekindled. As long as Xue Ruoyun was here, the chances of them obtaining the Nine-Eyed Sky Jewel would be lower. Seeing Mu Zhuo's position becoming more and more stable, Mu Lingfeng and Xue Shaoli secretly wanted to kill.

That day, the two of them acted as usual to visit the crown prince, showing their brotherly and sisterly courtesy. However, when they returned, they saw Xue Lianhua walking disappointedly out of the palace, looking very depressed.

"Why is Xue Lian here?" Mu Lingfeng and Xue Shaoli looked at each other.

"From the looks of it, she seems to have quarreled with the crown prince." Xue Shaolei understood a woman's heart the best.

Mu Lingfeng gave Xue Shaoli a meaningful glance, and Xue Shaoli quickly walked forward to catch up with Xue Lianshui, "Aiya, Little Sister, how come I met you here? And she's even holding a bamboo frame, this is another gift for His Highness the Crown Prince, right? " Xue Shaolei didn't seem to see her depressed mood.

"Elder sister, did you just leave the palace as well?" Xue Lian raised his head and saw Xue Shaoli and Mu Lingfeng, who were not far away. The two of them were a perfect couple, and they loved each other. Thinking of him, he felt even more bitter.

"What's the matter, sister?" Xue Shaoli asked in concern when he realized that she was in the wrong. He looked around and then asked exaggeratedly, "Why haven't I seen the crown prince send someone to escort you out of the palace?"

"Nothing, I haven't seen the crown prince. He might be busy these few days." Or maybe it's because I'm tired and need more rest. " Xue Lian felt extremely wronged and wanted to hide it. However, the loneliness on his face was too obvious.

"Is that so? Maybe he's entertaining the guests. When we passed by and heard the servants say that Miss Xue was there, we heard the laughter coming from the house and thought it was you. " Xue Shaoli rolled her eyes and started lying. In fact, the fact that Xue Ruoyun had come to pay him a visit was something that had happened a few days ago.

When Xue Lian heard this, he immediately ignored his image and flew into a rage. He scolded angrily: "Of course it wasn't me, it was that slut Xue Ruoyun. No wonder the crown prince didn't see me. She must have instigated me."

Seeing that she hurriedly covered her voice, she looked around and whispered, "Little sister, what's the matter? "Just tell me when you're back. There are too many people in this palace, you should be careful of the walls with ears." Only now did Xue Lian realize that she had lost her composure. She looked at Mu Lingfeng, who was standing not far away, and quickly covered his mouth with a handkerchief.

After bidding farewell to Mu Lingfeng, Xue Lianshi and Xue Shaoli returned to the Xue Manor. They invited each other to Xue Shaoli's room and covered the door. Then they told Liu Xu to stand guard at the door.

"Hmph. This Xue Luoyun is truly too excessive. She is simply going too far." Xue Shaoli seemed to be indignant for Xue Lianqing, but in reality, he was trying to win her over. The two of them teamed up.

"Isn't it? Ever since she saved the crown prince, the crown prince's soul and spirit seemed to have been attracted by her and he no longer paid any attention to me." Xue Lian began to sob as he pushed all of this onto Xue Ruoyun.
