"You said that the prince loves the princess, right?" Cuixiang saw Shen Qianqian looking at her in despair and tears. Her face was bloodless and as pale as paper.

Seeing Shen Qianqian like this, Cuixiang felt a little anxious. She hurriedly picked up a handkerchief to wipe Shen Qianqian's tears.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. Everyone in the palace knows how good the prince is to his concubine. His actions today are just because he's afraid that the woman will do something promiscuous and ruin the reputation of the palace."

In fact, Cuixiang also discovered that Su Yuntian's attitude towards Mu Jin was slowly changing, but she couldn't support Mu Jin's ambitions, which disappointed Shen Qianqian.

If Shen Qianqian doesn't fight back and Mu Jin takes advantage of her, her status in the palace will plummet. Wouldn't she be suppressed by Qing'er and unable to raise her head?

Cuixiang saw that Su Yuntian finally stopped standing in the snow and walked towards the mansion. She immediately pulled Shen Qianqian towards Qiu Shui Garden.

Along the way, Shen Qianqian was in a daze, like a walking corpse, and she had no idea when Cuixiang brought her back to Qiu Shui Garden.

Cuixiang kept persuading her, but Shen Qianqian just didn't respond. She became anxious, so she asked other maids to come in and look after Shen Qianqian, and she went out to find Guangfu.

At this time, Guangfu was walking back and forth in the room in annoyance. Lately, he had been troubled by one thing after another.

First of all, the plays he had asked others to write that were metaphors for the General's Mansion were replaced overnight.

In the operas, all the songs praise how brave the generals are in the general's mansion and how they defend their country, and how virtuous the general's daughter is. However, the plot is that the prince favors his concubine over his wife, and the daughter of a general is bullied by the concubines in the prince's mansion.

The public opinion on the street changed suddenly, and he found that no matter how much money he spent, no storyteller in the teahouse dared to accept his play.

Secondly, the government actually came to him because of Mu Jin’s assassination in Baishishan.

After all, Guangfu had been in the Prince Yun's Mansion for many years, and he was the steward. In the eyes of outsiders, his position in the Prince Yun's Mansion was extremely important. He didn't want to say more, and the yamen runners couldn't do anything to him in a short time.

But for a long time, he was just a subordinate in name only. If the government found evidence, he would not mind his own death, but if it implicated Shen Qianqian, he would rather die than refuse.

All these things were not going well, which indicated that Mu Jin knew that those things were related to him.

But now Mu Jin is keeping his troops on hold, which makes him unsure of Mu Jin's next plan, so he is worried and restless every day.

Guangfu was sighing in the room when Xiaosi came in to report that Cuixiang was looking for him outside the middle door.

The fact that Cuixiang could find him at this time must be related to Shen Qianqian. Thinking of this, Guangfu frowned and walked anxiously to see Cuixiang.

After seeing Guangfu, Cuixiang anxiously told Guangfu that Su Yuntian had a fight with Shiyi for Mu Jin tonight, but Mu Jin dismissed the furious Su Yuntian with just a few words. Moreover, Shen Qianqian was crying sadly in Qiu Shui Garden because of the change in Su Yuntian's attitude towards Mu Jin.

Hearing Shen Qianqian crying, Guangfu's heart ached again. With a fierce look on his face, he said viciously, "We can't wait any longer!"

Cuixiang looked at Guangfu's ferocious face and knew that this matter would definitely be disadvantageous to Mu Jin. If it was disadvantageous to Mu Jin, it would be beneficial to Shen Qianqian.

Guangfu turned around and asked Xiang Cuixiang who had the upper hand in the fight between Su Yuntian and Shiyi tonight.

Cuixiang has been secretly in love with Eleven ever since she saw his appearance that day. Tonight was also the first time she knew how good Eleven's kung fu was. Seeing Eleven like this, she was even happier.

But she also knew that Shiyi was Mu Jin's coachman. Unless Mu Jin lost power, she knew that she would never be able to be with Shiyi in this life.

Thinking of Eleven being injured by Su Yuntian, she couldn't help but said with heartache: "Eleven respects the prince, how dare he fight with the prince, but just stood there and was beaten by the prince until he vomited blood."

Upon hearing that Eleven was injured, Guangfu couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly and revealed a cunning smile, and he laughed repeatedly.

Guangfu asked Cuixiang to take good care of Shen Qianqian, and asked Cuixiang to go back and tell Shen Qianqian to relax, saying that her good days were ahead and she should not be sad because of the gains and losses in front of her.

That night, a little Si brought a bowl of medicine to Eleven. The little Si said that Mu Jin knew that he was injured, and asked the doctor to prescribe medicine for him to drink and have a good rest.

Knowing that besides Su Yuntian, Mu Jin was the only one injured, Eleven was delighted to hear that the medicine was sent by Mu Jin. He picked up the medicine sent by Xiao Si and drank it in one gulp. In less than a moment, he developed a high fever and fell into a deep sleep.

It snowed all night last night, and in the early morning the Cuizhu Courtyard was covered with white snow.

The maids were sweeping the snow in the yard, and in the small kitchen they were leisurely preparing breakfast for Mu Jin.

When Qing'er was helping Mu Jin to dress and put on makeup, a little maid came in with a message.

"Princess, the Sixth Princess invites you to the Yuexiang Villa on the outskirts of the city to listen to an opera."

"Yuexiang Villa? What kind of place is that?" Mu Jin asked Qing'er puzzledly.

Qing'er and the maids understand this.

Cui Xiang said, "I know this place. I heard it's the princess's private property. In addition to a lot of high-end food, there are also some entertainers performing nearby to liven up the atmosphere."

Mu Jin glanced at Qing'er and said, "You know a lot."

Qing'er smiled and said, "Two years ago, the princess invited you to go once, and I went with you then, but you forgot."

Mu Jin nodded, thinking that Su Muxue had asked her out many times this month, and fortunately she had nothing to do today, so she accepted the invitation.

When Mu Jin was having breakfast in the dining hall, the maid came to report that Eleven had a high fever and was still in a coma, so she might not be able to go out with Mu Jin today.

When Mu Jin heard that Eleven had a high fever, he remembered that Eleven was beaten by Su Yuntian last night. However, he had already given Eleven medicine at that time, so he should not have had a fever and fell asleep.

Mu Jin went back to the room and got two bottles of medicine, one for reducing fever and the other for stopping bleeding and removing blood stasis. He gave them to the maid and told her to have someone give the medicine to Eleven. If he was still not well, he should go outside and find a doctor for Eleven.

After breakfast, Mu Jin and Qing'er walked out of the palace gate. Eleven was not feeling well today, so the palace temporarily replaced the driver for Mu Jin to use.

The coachman looked unfamiliar, but Mu Jin didn't care. After all, there were only a few hundred servants in the palace, so it was normal that she didn't know him. She raised her eyebrows and got into the carriage with Qing'er's help.

After Mu Jin got on the carriage, Qing'er lowered the thick cloth curtain. The thick cloth curtain blocked the cold wind from outside, but made the carriage dim.

Mu Jin occasionally opened her eyes, but it was pitch black in front of her. She couldn't help but think of the two glowing stones in Su Yi's carriage yesterday. At this moment, she thought, it would be nice if she had two glowing stones in her carriage. But she immediately shook her head at herself. The glowing stones were obviously priceless, and she probably couldn't afford them in her lifetime.

Mu Jin held the hot water bottle that Qing'er had prepared for her. It took about an hour to get to Yuexiang Villa, so she leaned back on the soft pillow in the carriage and closed her eyes to rest.

After about half an hour's journey, the carriage suddenly jolted violently. Mu Jin and Qing'er were not paying attention and their heads hit the wall of the carriage heavily.

The pain made Qing'er furious. She yelled at the driver outside, "How are you driving this car? You've injured the princess. Be careful or I won't forgive you."

Having said that, Qing'er opened the carriage curtain and walked out. After she went out, she became silent.

"Qing'er?" Mu Jin called out several times, but there was no response from Qing'er.

Mu Jin's face darkened. She put down the hot water bottle, lifted the car curtain and prepared to go out.

But when she lifted the curtain, Mu Jin paused, and a shiny knife was against her neck.
