Before Mu Chuyang had reminded the Prince Mu, the Prince Mu had already anticipated Yuwen Di's reaction when he found out about the rumours in the market.
Furthermore, even though the rumors were false, there were still some hidden reasons behind Mu Chuyang not being able to match up to Duan Yunfei. Most importantly, Duan Yunfei had yet to leave the pavilion, but due to the engagement, she had been treated as a person by the citizens as a talker, which was something that Yuwen Di would definitely not allow.
This not only affected Duan Yunfei's reputation, but also the imperial dignity that Duan Yunfei represented.
"Father also had the same intention. Send someone to thoroughly investigate this matter first. Remember, do not panic and do not expose this. If the person behind us were to come straight for the Prince Mu's Mansion, then he will be in the dark while we are in the light. We are in a disadvantageous position to begin with, so we need to be more cautious. "
Mu Chuyang also knew that the current situation was not good, who would have thought that in one night, someone would make such a big fuss about his and Duan Yunfei's marriage?
Prince Mu entered the palace overnight and reported this matter to Yuwen Di. Prince Mu originally thought that Yuwen Di would fly into a rage once he heard about this, but he never expected that Yuwen Di would still have a smile on his face.
"It's rare for my beloved one to come to the royal study today. Unfortunately, I've already used up all my dinner. How about you accompany me in playing a game of chess?"
Prince Mu was puzzled, and even a little anxious. This matter had a far greater impact on Mu Chuyang than Duan Yunfei, so for Mu Chuyang's future, he could not calm down.
But even though his heart was burning with anxiety, Prince Mu had no choice but to bite the bullet and play chess with Yuwen Di. He kept thinking about who the culprit was and he felt that Prince Mu's Mansion was just like a piece of a chess board that could be trampled on by anyone.
Because his thoughts were not on the game, Yuwen Di had the upper hand. The game had started suddenly and ended abruptly.
"Your Majesty, since you are already aware of this matter, this humble subject will not disturb you. This humble subject has come to the palace today because I hope that these rumors will not affect the reputation of Thirteenth Princess. I also hope that Your Majesty can forgive Chu Yang's uselessness, but the marriage contract for these two children … "
Prince Mu wanted to say something but hesitated. He knew that someone as well-connected as Yuwen Di would definitely understand the meaning of his words.
"Daughters can be rest assured, Yun Fei and I are reasonable people, three of us are tigers, and the citizens do not know the truth, it is not Chu Yang's fault, and it is not the Prince Mu's Mansion's fault, we will definitely not cancel this marriage because of this matter."
Before Prince Mu entered the palace, Yuwen Di had heard some rumors, and he had already known what it was. Thinking back to last night when there was someone sneaking out to spread the news, Yuwen Di guessed that it would be very easy to investigate the mastermind.
The scheme of the person behind the scenes was truly high, as though they thought that Yuwen Di would vent his anger on the Prince Mu's Mansion and cancel the marriage, then send people to spread the rumors.
However, if the person behind the scenes was trying to strike at Prince Mu's Mansion's momentum, this would also become a powerful move. However, although the layout of this battle was very ingenious, it was not meticulous enough.
Yuwen Di thought that he would be able to find the culprit behind this easily, but he never thought that the culprit behind this was actually someone he had never thought of.
"Since Your Majesty has already spoken, this humble subject is relieved. Your Majesty can be rest assured, this humble subject has already secretly asked Chu Yang to investigate this matter. I will definitely give his majesty and give Thirteenth Princess an explanation.
Eighty percent of Prince Mu's words were true thinking for Duan Yunfei. After all, not only was Duan Yunfei a girl who had grown up and saw her as her own daughter, she was also the little wangfei who had never passed through the gates of Prince Mu.
Thinking about the rumours in the market, Prince Mu was a little hesitant. He didn't know whether Duan Yunfei could endure the news of him jumping from Yuwen Di's most beloved Thirteenth Princess to Mu Xiaohou.
Although Duan Yunfei was not a vain woman, but what kind of woman didn't like her husband enough to make a name for himself? And all of this, was something that the current Mu Chuyang could not do.
Just like the Prince Mu thought, Yuwen Di also thought of this point. Although it was just a rumor, the reason why Mu Chuyang rejected the marriage was also because he felt that his current status was far from being able to match up to Duan Yunfei.
Being unable to catch up with someone was not the scariest thing. The scariest thing was that even though you knew that your strength was lacking, you did not have the desire to win. In the end, you might not even be able to see that tiny speck of dust.
"My beloved, I have something to discuss with you."
When he heard Yuwen Di promise to keep the marriage contract, Prince Mu only felt slightly more relaxed. After all, if this was the case, Prince Mu's Mansion only needed to focus all of his energy on finding the source of the rumors. However, after hearing Yuwen Di's words, Prince Mu's heart once again tensed up.
"What orders do you have for me, your Majesty?"
"After thinking about it, I have always admired Chu Yang. Previously, it was only because he was still young, but now that the marriage has been set in stone, he is no longer a child. We were just thinking that it's time to let Chu Yang and Wu Shan share our worries. "
If it was only Mu Chuyang being mentioned, perhaps Prince Mu would think that it was because of the rumors in the market, Yuwen Di felt that Mu Chuyang was not worthy of Duan Yunfei, so he gave him a position and position, which made him look like he did not only have the title of Young Prince Mu.
However, this was not what Prince Mu hoped for. Prince Mu also believed that this was not what Mu Chuyang desired.
"Your Majesty, Chu Yang has always hoped that he can become a pillar of the Empire by working hard from the bottom level." Your Majesty, Chu Yang had always wanted to serve the Imperial Court, but he had always hoped that he could become a pillar from his own efforts from the bottom level.
"Since that's the case, we should not force ourselves, we are looking forward to the day Chu Yang stands in the hall." Yuwen Di felt that it was getting late, he and the Prince Mu still needed to investigate the source of this rumor, so they did not stay in Prince Mu for long.
Inside Red Luan Palace, Duan Yunfei was discussing a chess book that Wu Shan had obtained in the recent days. As she talked about the topic with relish, she was interrupted by Xiao Gui.
"Princess, things are not going well."
Duan Yunfei had never seen Xiao Gui in such a state of panic before, "If you have something to say, say it slowly."
Xiao Gui Zi ran all the way back to Red Luan Palace from the royal study. He was currently out of breath and couldn't even complete a sentence.
"Princess... Young Prince Mu... "
