"Thank you, Imperial Father, for your praise." Mu Ling Feng was overjoyed.

"It's just that this matter concerns the imperial family's honor. If anyone were to hear of this matter from me, they would definitely be executed …" Mu Zheng said, his eyes full of killing intent.

"Yes, son."

Mu Zheng's words were purposely spoken for Mu Lingfeng to hear. It was not like he did not know about the Imperial Family's conflict, but he was also the one who was the most displeased by it. The others definitely wouldn't talk about what had happened today. They were afraid that Mu Lingfeng would use this as an excuse to criticize Mu Zhuoyun, so they told him about it.

When Mu Zheng returned to the banquet, everyone was still celebrating with interest. Mu Zheng tidied his expression before walking in. He saw Xue Luoyun, Mu Sheng, Yuchi Min and the others were still chatting merrily.

Mu Zheng was annoyed and drank the wine one cup at a time. After a while, he would be full of alcohol and would have to go to bed first.

On the way back, Xue Ruoyun and Yuchi Min chatted happily as they walked. At this moment, Mu Ying caught up to them.

"Xue Ruyun, stop right there!"

"What is it?" Hearing the sound, the two of them turned around and saw the cold expression on Mu Rong Zhan's face. They were quite curious as to how they had provoked him.

"Nothing." Mu Ying glanced at Yuchi Min.

Yuchi Min was very smart, and she immediately understood when she saw the situation. She hurriedly said, "Since big sister still has something to do, I'll head back first." Yuchi Min tactfully withdrew.

Seeing that Yuchi Min had left, Xue Ruoyun impatiently asked again, "What happened?"

"Put this on for me!" The night wind blew, making him feel a bit cold. Xue Luoyun was only wearing a thin piece of cloth, and he also drank a bit of alcohol, causing Mu Ying to worry that she might catch a cold. Thus, he chased after her, forcefully throwing his outer robe to her.

"Oh, thank you." Holding the warm jacket in his arms, Xue Ruyun gratefully said to Mu Ying.

Mu Ying glanced at her, and after she obediently put on her coat, he ignored her and turned around to leave.

Inside Mu Zhuo's tent.

Seeing Mu Zheng leave with a flick of his sleeve, Mu Zhuo fell limply to the ground. This time, he was completely out of hope with Xue Ruyun. He looked at the still crying Xue Lianshu at the side and powerlessly stood up. He walked forward and helped her up. "Wuwuwu, wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu

"Get up." Mu Zhuo said dejectedly.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Xue Lian raised his head and looked at Mu Zhuoyun. Mu Zhuo could see that her eyes were red and her body was in a mess. He ordered someone to bring her his coat and put it on. He thought about how he would follow her in the future, but he didn't love her. It was such a pity.

After thinking for a while, he slowly said, "Sorry about today's matter, I will take responsibility for you." Mu Zhuo said sincerely. He should not have ruined the innocence of a girl he did not love. Xue Lian had to be blamed for this matter. If he had to blame something, he should blame himself. He shouldn't have been greedy and made such a huge mistake.

"Your Highness, I sincerely and sincerely love you, so I don't blame you …" Xue Lian still acted like a good boy even though he was cheap.

"Go back first." I want to be quiet. " Mu Zhuoyun interrupted her and sat down on a chair by herself.

"Then this subject's daughter shall leave." Xue Lian drew the coat over his shoulders. A few maidservants supported him back to his tent.

Xue Lian returned to the tent only to find that Xue Shaoli had already been waiting inside for a long time. Seeing Xue Lian's face covered in tears, Xue Shaoli didn't seem to mind. She waved her hand for the maidservants to leave before speaking.

"Sister, because today's performance was really good." Xue Shaoli took a mouthful of the dessert and stared at Xue Lian's drawing.

"Elder sister … "What does that mean?" Xue Lian pretended not to understand and asked her what was the meaning of this.

Xue Shaolei chuckled. "Forget it, little sister. Do you still want to act in front of big sister?"

Xue Lian combed his hair and still did not admit it. "I really don't know what Elder Sister means by saying these words. I don't even know where to start with acting or anything else."

Seeing that she was still pretending in front of him, anger rose in Xue Shaori's heart. His face darkened, "You can hide this from others, but you can still hide it from me? The Crown Prince had a lot to drink and had lost his mind all of a sudden. Furthermore, you didn't drink much today, so why would you suddenly think of going out alone and even call the maids down? And this time, coincidentally, the emperor saw everything. Don't you think this is too much of a coincidence? " Xue Shaoli was immediately exposed.

Seeing that Xue Shaoli had told her all of her tricks, Xue Lian could no longer continue acting. She put the comb down, sat down at the table, and wiped the tears from her face.

"Elder sister is very meticulous, so of course I can't hide this little bit of caution from you. "It's just that this matter has already been settled. I wonder what big sister's intention is for you to come to my place and say so much?" Xue Lian directly spread the matter on the table.

"Aiyo, sister, you misunderstand. What meaning can I have?" Xue Shaoli immediately smiled. "I'm here to offer my respects to little sister."

"Oh, really?" Xue Shaoli had no doubt that it was a lie.

"Of course. You and I are sisters, sisters who can't be any more intimate. Other than being secretive, I am also happy for you."

"Thank you elder sister for hiding it for me." Xue Shaoli rose slightly and bowed.

"What are you saying? It's only right for us two sisters. After I marry the third prince and you marry the crown prince, we will have to support and support each other in the future." Xue Shao Li pulled over Xue Lian's hand and gently patted it. Xue Lian looked gratefully at Xue Shaoli and nodded.

Xue Shaoli covered her mouth and smiled lightly, her eyes full of scheming. The reason she came here today was to expose this matter on purpose. First, she wanted to rope in Xue Lian and pretend that she was deeply in love with him. In the future, she would use Xue Lian's painting to secretly harm Mu Zhuo in order to help the Third Prince. Secondly, he would tell Xue Lian that he had a weakness in his hand. That way, he could use it to threaten Xue Lian to draw a picture at a crucial moment in the future.

Even though Xue Lian's drawing was deep and scheming, it couldn't be deeper than Xue Shaoli's drawing. She was so silly that she thought Xue Shaoli was truly being nice to her.

Mu Zhuoyun stayed in the tent alone for a long time before he stood up and walked into the room. Looking at the messy blanket and the scattered clothes, he angrily picked up the wine and finished it in one gulp. He looked at the wine pot again. It was all a mistake. Mu Zhuo bitterly threw the wine jug onto the ground, knocking over the table. He had never felt such hatred for himself before. After he finished venting, he could not help but feel sorrow as he sat down dejectedly.

At this time, he saw the wine on the ground flowing, and a piece of silk embroidered with plum blossoms flowed. Mu Zhuo's heart stirred. As if he had gone mad, he quickly grabbed the silk handkerchief and held it to his chest like a precious treasure.

At this moment, his heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife. Seeing this handkerchief, he thought back to those beautiful days. Xue Ruoyun was so pure, he was no longer worthy of her. He no longer had the qualifications to love her. Mu Zhuozhi gripped the silk handkerchief tightly and placed it in her palm. At this moment, it was as if he was looking at the white-clothed figure of Xue Muyun. The figure moved further and further away from him, and finally disappeared.

The next day, Mu Zheng's men returned to the imperial court and everyone returned. Every few days, the news of Xue Lian's marriage with Mu Zhuo would spread.

When Xue Ruyun heard this news, he was quite surprised. After carefully thinking about it, it seemed to be within reason.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, Mu Zhuo Ji and Xue Lianqing seemed to have made a ruckus. They were no longer close and had parted ways. He was even happy for Mu Zhuo. Now that he had received the news of the wedding, even though he felt that these Xue Lian paintings were shrewd and scheming, he didn't feel it right to interfere in matters of the heart. A while ago, they might have just been in an awkward situation. Things between lovers, wasn't it just dividing up and making up? As for the matters concerning Mu Zhuo's knowledge, just let him be.

When Mu Ying heard the news of Mu Zhuo's arranged marriage, he was actually somewhat happy in his heart. He had always been worried that Mu Zhuoyun and his old relationship would rekindle, but now it seemed like there was no hope for the two of them. Now that he thought about it, he had a lot more opportunities and a lot more peace of mind. Thinking up to this point, Mu Ying couldn't help but laugh from the bottom of his heart.

When the guard next to him saw this, he was already used to it. Ever since he had met the Xue Clan's eldest daughter, Xue Luoyun, his highness had frequently shown these strange appearances. At first, he was worried about the prince, but in his heart, he was puzzled, thinking that something had happened. Sometimes he would even ask about it. He was already used to his moody demeanor. Sometimes, he would even voluntarily tell the prince some information about Xue Luoyun.

Ever since Mu Zhuoyun had returned to the palace, he had been feeling depressed all day. The empress and empress dowager sent people to ask a few more times about this matter, but Mu Zhuo didn't say a word. When he thought of Xue Ruyun, his heart felt as if it had been stabbed with a knife, and he no longer dared to look for her. However, the longing in his heart flooded over like a tidal wave, and he could not control it no matter what. There were several times when he walked slowly by himself, and he actually felt as if he had arrived in front of the Xue Manor. However, he did not dare to go see Xue Muyun. He was worried that he would run into Xue Lian.

He had come to the door that day, and, as usual, was melancholy for a while, then turned to leave. At this time, he saw Xue Ruyun's maidservant, Yun Zhi, come back from purchasing items. He was overjoyed and immediately called out to Yun Zhi.

"Your servant pays her respects to the Crown Prince." When Yun Zhi saw that it was the crown prince, she panicked and kneeled on the ground, wanting to pay her respects.

Mu Zhuo let out a hiss and quickly got him to his feet, afraid that he would alert the people of Xue Manor.

"Does His Highness have any orders?" Yun Zhi stood up and asked softly.

"How is your young miss?" Mu Zhuoyun asked in concern.

"Does Your Highness mean the eldest miss or the third miss?" Yun Zhi asked doubtfully. Logically speaking, her young miss was referring to Xue Luoyun. However, Mu Zhuo's painting with Xue Lian was known to the entire city, so it was better for Yun Zhi to ask more clearly.

"Xue Luoyun." Mu Zhuo asked in an embarrassed tone.

"My Miss is very well. She sits in the yard and reads all day."

"Her hands are better."

"I'm fine. It's just that I've been injured for a hundred days, so I still need to slowly recuperate."

"That's good, that's good." Mu Zhuoyun relaxed and was about to head back. All of a sudden, he saw some pen and ink in Yun Zhi's bamboo basket.
