However, it was said that Mu Ling'er was arranged by Mo Zhengxuan in a relatively quiet corner of the harem and sent four smart little girls to wait on her, so she felt quite at ease.

The next evening after she had just settled down, she was wandering on the swing in the yard, thinking about what had happened in the past few days.

"Princess, please save this slave, please save this slave!" She was lost in thought when she saw a disheveled little palace maid stumbled into the courtyard.

The little palace maid who was serving Mu Ling'er sternly scolded: "Who are you, and why do you come to the place where the princess lives? If you disturb the princess, you will be in trouble!"

"Qiuyue, please don't reprimand her first, let her talk properly." Mu Ling'er saw that the little palace maid looked familiar, but couldn't remember where she had seen it before, so she stopped Qiuyue and said softly to the little palace maid.

.

Seeing Mu Ling'er speak, the little palace maid kowtowed several times and said: "Princess, this slave is from Concubine Lan's palace. I did something wrong. Concubine Lan wanted to kill me. I fled to this place. I hope Princess can...

Save this slave’s life!”

"Hurry out. Since you have offended Concubine Lan, you still don't go back to accept your guilt, and you still come to disturb the princess. It's really a waste of your life!" After hearing what the little palace maid said, Qiuyue's face changed drastically.

Mu Ling'er's heart moved, and she brought the little palace maid into the palace, pushed away the people around her, and asked the little palace maid in a low voice, "Tell me, why did Concubine Lan want to kill you?"

The little palace maid fell to her knees on the ground with a plop, kowtowed repeatedly and said: "Replying to the princess, Concubine Lan and Sister Jinyue discussed the matter of meeting the prince. The slave accidentally overheard, so..."

"Concubine Lan wants to see the prince? Is it the sixth prince?" Mu Ling'er was moved in her heart and asked hurriedly: "Then did you listen to what they said about meeting the sixth prince?"

Last time I encountered the affair between Mo Qingyue and Shangguan Youlan in the Imperial Garden, and was later summoned into the palace by Shangguan Youlan, and then imprisoned in the sky prison. Then, Prime Minister Mu forced the palace, and Shangguan Youlan secretly summoned the guards of the Nine Cities...

Everything seems to have something to do with Guan Youlan. Thinking back to the last conversation I heard between her and Mo Qingyue, could this matter also have something to do with Mo Qingyue?

Mu Ling'er's heart immediately trembled.

"Princess, the servant was about to bring tea to the empress when she heard the empress ordering Sister Jinyue to find a way to let the prince enter the palace and to discuss some important matters." The little palace maid tried to recall.

Mu Ling'er pondered for a while and then said: "Then have you heard anything else?"

"No, I know that Concubine Lan said that Sister Jinyue will summon the prince to the palace tonight, but I haven't heard anything else." The little palace maid recalled for a long time, and finally gave some useful information.

Mu Ling'er's heart moved, she nodded and said to the little palace maid: "Don't worry, I will find a way to protect you. You can stay with me for the next few days."

"Thank you, Princess, for saving my life!" The little palace maid was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed to Mu Ling'er to thank her.

After settling the little palace maid in, Mu Ling'er thought for a long time by herself, and finally walked slowly towards Concubine Lan's bedroom in the evening.

I originally wanted to tell Mo Zhengxuan about this, but I was inexplicably worried that Mo Qingyue would be discovered, so I came to Shangguan Youlan's palace alone.

"You haven't been here these days, I miss you so much..." As soon as I walked near Shangguan Youlan's bedroom, I heard Shangguan Youlan's faint voice.

Mu Ling'er looked through the moonlight and saw a man with his back to her, holding Shangguan Youlan in his arms. He had a slender figure.

Mo Qingyue is indeed here!

For some reason, Mu Ling'er suddenly felt sour and uncomfortable. She secretly laughed at herself: "Did I fall in love with Mo Qingyue without knowing it?"

Otherwise, why would she feel so uncomfortable when she knew about Shangguan Youlan and Mo Qingyue's affair?

God really likes to play tricks on people, and he actually made her fall in love with Mo Qingyue!

Mu Ling'er held back the discomfort in her heart and walked quietly towards the two people. The two people seemed to have deliberately lowered their voices when they spoke, and she had to be close to hear them.

She had just found a suitable place when she accidentally stepped on something and saw a black shadow jump up suddenly. Mu Ling'er was so frightened that she couldn't help but scream and her whole body jumped up.

After Mu Ling'er finished screaming, she was suddenly shocked to realize her current situation, and cold sweat started to flow down her body.

"Who?" Shangguan Youlan's scolding voice soon came, and then a young eunuch and a palace maid came to where Mu Ling'er was holding a palace lantern.

Helpless, Mu Ling'er had no choice but to walk in front of the two people, her mind spinning rapidly, trying to find a reasonable explanation.

"It's the princess!" Shangguan Youlan exclaimed and asked doubtfully: "Princess, it's so late, why are you here near my bedroom? Is there something wrong?"

Only then did Mu Ling'er see clearly the face of the man hugging Guan Youlan, but it turned out to be Mo Zhengxuan!

Faintly, Mu Ling'er seemed to understand what had happened, but he immediately calmed himself down and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Princess, I was bored alone at night and wanted to go out for a walk, but unexpectedly I got lost and walked there.

Near the imperial concubine's palace. I hid because I was afraid of disturbing the imperial concubine and the emperor. I hope the emperor and the emperor will forgive me!"

Although her answer was far-fetched, it was still manageable. There didn't seem to be any displeasure on Mo Zhengxuan's handsome face.

"The princess is really in great spirits. She actually went out for a walk so late. Of course she is very elegant. However, the princess's bedroom seems to be quite far from my bedroom. Is the princess really lost?" She looked at Mo.

Zhengxuan's voice and expression, Shangguan Youlan said slowly.

Her tone clearly suggested that Mu Ling'er came to her bedroom on purpose and had evil intentions.

"My dear concubine, the princess comes to the palace only rarely, and it is very common for her to get lost. Besides, the princess has not done anything, so don't worry about it." Seeing Shangguan Youlan pressing closer, Mo Zhengxuan spoke slowly.

Come to the rescue for Mu Ling'er.

A complicated look flashed in Shangguan Youlan's eyes, and then she said with a smile: "Your Majesty, are you so narrow-minded? It's just that Prime Minister Mu forced the palace last time... so I am extra careful, I hope the princess will not let go

In my heart!"

Although Shangguan Youlan didn't say it explicitly, the meaning behind his words was self-evident.

Mu Ling'er's face turned pale and she retorted, "The imperial concubine is right, my father did something wrong, but the news of my poisoning quickly reached my father's ears, which is very strange in the first place.

I was still thinking about when I would report this to the Emperor and let him investigate what is going on!"

Shangguan Youlan's expression suddenly changed.

"Okay, it's midnight, so don't argue anymore. Since the princess doesn't know the way, let's send the maid to take the princess back to the palace!" Mo Zhengxuan said calmly, his face still calm.

Mu Ling'er suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he left here, Shangguan Youlan would not do anything to him in a short time.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, look, the princess's skirt has the color of the hundred-day red in our palace." Just as Mu Ling'er turned around, Jin Yue, who was holding the palace lantern, suddenly pointed at Mu Ling'er's skirt and said

.

Mu Ling'er's heart thumped, and her heart suddenly hit the bottom.

Shangguan Youlan looked at it, a smile flashed across her lips, but she pretended to be confused and said: "Your Majesty, this hundred-day red seems to be in my concubine's palace. Why is it on the princess's skirt?"

"Princess Rui, please explain why the hem of your skirt has the color of Concubine Lan's palace. Have you ever been to Concubine Lan's palace?" Mo Zhengxuan's expression also changed, and his tone was solemn.

Mu Ling'er secretly complained in her heart, but she didn't know how to explain the color on the skirt. She had no choice but to shake her head and said: "Your Majesty, I have never been to the imperial concubine's palace."

"Your Majesty, the princess has never been to my concubine's palace." Shangguan Youlan was still full of confusion, as if she couldn't figure out what was going on.

Jin Yue knelt down on the ground with a plop and said: "Your Majesty, I have concealed something from you. Please forgive me!"

"What happened?" Mo Zhengxuan looked at Jin Yue kneeling on the ground, his thick eyebrows knitted together.

An extremely uneasy feeling immediately arose in Mu Ling'er's heart.

Sure enough, Na Jinyue said next: "When I went in to get something just now, I saw a black shadow flashing past. I was startled at that time. I was afraid that the empress would blame me, so I didn't say anything..."

"What do you mean, do you suspect that the black shadow is the princess?" Shangguan Youlan thought for a moment and raised her eyes to look at Mu Ling'er opposite.

Having said that, Shangguan Youlan's tone was very certain.

The implication is that it was because Mu Ling'er sneaked into Shangguan Youlan's bedroom that the hem of her skirt was dyed a hundred-day red color.

Mo Zhengxuan frowned slightly and turned to ask Mu Ling'er, "Princess, have you really been to Concubine Lan's bedroom?"

"Your Majesty, I really have never been to the imperial concubine's palace. Besides, the imperial concubine's palace is so tightly guarded that I can't just go in." Helpless, Mu Ling'er had no choice but to defend herself.

Jin Yue pressed closely, "Princess, since I have never been to the empress's palace, how can I explain the color on your skirt?"

"Your Majesty, this prime minister has just forced his way into the palace, and now this princess appears inexplicably in my concubine's palace, which makes me feel frightened and uneasy." Seeing that Mo Zhengxuan didn't say a word, Shangguan Youlan clung to him with a delicate look on her face.

In his arms, there was fear in his voice.

Mo Zhengxuan pondered for a while, and then said: "In that case, what should I do according to your wishes, my dear concubine?"

"According to my wishes, we cannot neglect the princess, so we can just let her live in Lengyue Pavilion." A smile flashed across Shangguan Youlan's lips.
