After waiting for five days, Mu Chuyang could no longer hold it in, and went to the palace to ask Duan Yunfei about the situation.
His wild thoughts throughout the entire day had caused Mu Chuyang to doubt more and more on whether or not this marriage held any meaning. Mu Chuyang did not wish for himself to misunderstand Duan Yunfei, and the best way to resolve this problem was to find Duan Yunfei and clarify it.
He thought about his own bewilderment, his jealousy of Xiu Heng that he couldn't let go, and his yearning for Duan Yunfei after not seeing him for the past few days.
When Mu Chuyang arrived at Red Luan Palace, he was taking a nap.
"Is Thirteenth Princess not in the Red Luan Palace today?" Mu Chuyang did not see Duan Yunfei in the Main Hall, nor could he find his figure in the courtyard. He grabbed a palace maid who was sweeping the snow and asked his where she was.
The palace maid previously did not notice Mu Chuyang's arrival, upon seeing that the person speaking was Mu Chuyang, he quickly knelt down to pay his respects. The fear he had towards Mu Chuyang and Dong Feng's coldness made hymen's words seem to be lacking in confidence.
"Greetings to Young Prince Mu."
"Alright, hurry up and get up. Where is Thirteenth Princess?" Mu Chuyang was panicking, he only wanted to wait until he found out where Duan Yunfei was.
Maybe it was because Mu Chuyang's tone was a little harsh, this made hymen even more afraid, and he stammered, "Reporting to Young Prince Mu … Princess now … "I'm taking a nap."
Mu Chuyang had originally calculated the time that would come, but the time that Duan Yunfei took a nap in the summer and winter months were different.
"Why is the princess still asleep?"
"Sister Xiao Yang said that the princess didn't sleep well last night, so today we will let the princess rest a bit more, and do not allow the servants to disturb her."
"Alright, This King will wait in the lobby. Just keep sweeping." Mu Chuyang obtained the answer he wanted. Knowing that Duan Yunfei was in Red Luan Palace today, she left the backyard and once again walked towards the great hall.
Watching Mu Chuyang leave, hymen heaved a sigh of relief. "I've finally sent this great Buddha away," he thought to herself. She also didn't know how Mu Chuyang would react after knowing that he had been ignored.
Previously, when Mu Chuyang was in a hurry to find Duan Yunfei, he did not notice the two mahogany boxes that were placed in the great hall. Mu Chuyang sized it up and felt that the things inside were definitely not simple, "I wonder what kind of treasures His Majesty has bestowed to Yun Fei this time?"
It was at this time that Xiao Ya came in. She looked at Mu Chuyang who was sizing up the two mahogany chests, then opened his mouth and spoke a few more words.
"Young Prince Mu, I heard that the crown prince of Xiliang specially sent someone thousands of miles away to congratulate you on your engagement to the princess. Prince of Xiliang is truly a person who will repay kindness with gratitude. To think that they would send over a congratulatory gift so early in the morning just because the princess took care of him back then. "
After Eunuch Li sent people to deliver Xiu Heng's congratulatory gift to him, Duan Yunfei did not bring all the gifts in the red wood chests to the treasury, but only placed them in the main hall.
Although Yuwen Di accepted this congratulatory gift out of respect for Xiliang, Duan Yunfei still had a grudge in her heart. If Duan Yunfei was not willing to accept this gift, she would not dare to accept it either.
In the end, Duan Yunfei had still helped Xiu Heng leave the Jin Country. But exactly because Xiu Heng had poisoned Duan Yunfei that year, that was why Duan Yunfei had completely given up on thinking about Xiu Heng.
As for why he did not dare accept it, it was because in Duan Yunfei's heart, he was no longer the gentle youth who returned the cape to her. Furthermore, Xiu Heng was currently a Prince of Xiliang. Although the two of them were currently on good terms, that was only on the surface.
Duan Yunfei could not figure out what Xiu Heng wanted to do by sending such a gift from such a distance. Before he could figure it out, Duan Yunfei did not allow anyone to touch these two red wooden boxes.
Xiao Ya did not know about the dispute between Duan Yunfei, Xiu Heng and Mu Chuyang. If she knew about this, she would definitely not mention Xiu Heng in front of Mu Chuyang, and even more so, would not mention the matter of Xiu Heng congratulating him.
Mu Chuyang had come to find Duan Yunfei to get to the bottom of things. Before entering Red Luan Palace, he had already thought of all sorts of possibilities, but his previous mental fortitude had completely collapsed at this moment.
Xiao Ya suddenly felt the temperature around her drop. She looked at the door and saw that it was still tightly shut. The wind shouldn't be able to rush in, so what made her feel that cold?
Xiao Ya secretly glanced at Mu Chuyang, and realised that Mu Chuyang's expression was extremely ugly, but Xiao Ya couldn't understand why Mu Chuyang was acting in such a manner.
After Duan Yunfei woke up from her sleep, upon hearing that Mu Chuyang had come, she quickly went to the great hall to see Mu Chuyang after a quick shower.
But just when Duan Yunfei was about to call out to Mu Chuyang, she saw Mu Chuyang give him a resentful and puzzled look.
In that moment, this gaze made Duan Yunfei a little confused, but when she saw the two conspicuous red wooden boxes, Duan Yunfei suddenly understood why Mu Chuyang was looking at him in such a manner. Presumably, Mu Chuyang knew that Xiu Heng was the one who delivered the two big boxes.
"Xiao Ya, go out first." Without even thinking, Duan Yunfei knew what would happen next. She called Xiao Ya out and told her not to let anyone in, even Xiao Yang himself.
Xiao Ya was puzzled. Why did the atmosphere become so weird, but she could not not not follow Duan Yunfei's orders. She could only go out and defend.
"Should you explain it to me?"
's tone was ice-cold, which was something Duan Yunfei had never felt before. Even when Duan Yunfei had said those hurtful words to Mu Chuyang back then, she had never used such a tone to speak with Duan Yunfei.
Duan Yunfei panicked a little, the Mu Chuyang in front of him seemed to be a little unfamiliar, she did not know what to do.
"You don't explain, do you? "Then I'll speak for you." Mu Chuyang hardened his heart, and said the words that he was unwilling to admit, and said out words that hurt himself, and also Duan Yunfei. These words caused him to recall that not long after, he was extremely regretful.
"These were all sent by Xiu Heng, right? As expected, being the crown prince was different. What, you placed all these here to remind you, have you ever had Xiu Heng's footprints before in your life? Or is it that you still have feelings for Xiu Heng? If that's the case, then why don't I ask His Majesty to cancel the marriage, and help you and Xiu Heng achieve it? "
"Chu Yang, don't be like this …" Duan Yunfei finally understood what kind of feeling a heartache was. The feelings she brought to Mu Chuyang before had now returned to her.
