Female Master: The Cold Prince

"Your Highness, now that the Xu family has fallen, Concubine Lian will definitely not let it go. She might ask Prince Duan to find a way to come back early." Shangguan Linglong said.

"Don't worry. Prince Duan is probably too busy to take care of him right now." A deep meaning flashed across Xiahou Jiuyue's eyes.

It was so difficult to arrange for her to go out, how could I let her come back so soon?

If you dare to frame her, you will have to pay the price to avoid the disaster!

Zhongli Muchen was not idle either. While strolling in the mansion, he took the opportunity to listen to all the rumors outside.

He returned to the house and thought to himself. After a moment, he had a plan in mind.

He wanted to leave Prince Chen's Mansion. Not only that, he wanted to break off the engagement and return to his country.

He didn't want to be here for a moment, didn't want to stay in this country at all.

Ever since waking up, she has been wanting to return home more and more. Especially after seeing the cold and aloof Prince Chen, she has become even more eager to leave.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, but this urgent feeling made him unable to calm down and think, and he just wanted to escape quickly.

Xiahou Jiuyue stayed in the study all day and had no idea of ​​Zhongli Muchen's inner thoughts at the moment.

For several days, Xiahou Jiuyue spent most of her time in the mansion, and sometimes she would visit Zhongli Muchen to see if he had any other symptoms.

Every time I visited him, there was always a deep sense of wariness and distance in his eyes, and when I asked about his health, his attitude was also extremely perfunctory.

Xiahou Jiuyue saw all of this and didn't say much.

She would still be worried until the poison was cured.

Zhongli Muchen's mind is now full of how to leave. He chooses to turn a blind eye and not care about Xiahou Jiuyue's various behaviors and actions in recent days.

In Fengyi Palace, Feng Jun's plan was also proceeding in an orderly manner. After careful arrangements, everything was finally ready except for the east wind.

Feeling that he had won, a long-lost smile finally appeared on his face.

The next day, shocking news suddenly came from the palace that Lady Lian was demoted to a talented person!

As the news came out, everyone was shocked instantly.

Although Lian Cejun was a concubine, she harmed the royal heir and framed the concubines in the harem for infertility. With one thing after another and facing witnesses and evidence, Lian Cejun had no way to defend herself.

The queen was furious and issued an order to abolish the position of concubine.

This punishment was always as light as a feather to many framed emperors, but to Lord Lian Ce, it cost him his life.

He didn't understand why Feng Jun suddenly attacked him at this time, and he didn't know how Feng Jun collected so much evidence.

He had not heard any news before and was caught off guard.

When Zhongli Muchen heard the news, his eyes suddenly lit up. The opportunity he was looking for had arrived.

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Prince has entered the palace." The butler reported.

"Yeah." Xiahou Jiuyue looked indifferent and didn't ask any more questions.

She was not interested in the prince's whereabouts at this moment. Feng Jun had spent so much time making arrangements, but the result did not meet expectations, which made her a little dissatisfied.

Just by demoting her to a mere talent, you think you can appease her anger?

If it’s not enough, you’ll be banished to the cold palace!

The Queen Mother did this out of consideration for the Fifth Princess and chose to spare Lian Cejun lightly.

But it makes sense. The daughter went out to provide disaster relief and when she returned to the court, her maternal family and her father were gone. Wouldn't that discourage the meritorious officials?

Therefore, what should she do to make the queen mother issue an order?

Less than an hour after Zhongli Muchen entered the palace, two shocking news came out.

First, Concubine Lian, who had just been demoted to a talented lady, was suddenly sent to the cold palace by the empress!

Second, the engagement between Prince Yuxia and Prince Chen was cancelled!

As soon as the news came out, the people in the capital city dropped their jaws in shock, and said one after another what a magical day today was.

When Xiahou Jiuyue received the news, she was extremely shocked.

What did Zhongli Muchen do when he entered the palace to send the person that the queen mother wanted to protect to the cold palace and cancel the marriage at the same time?

She could imagine how unwilling the Queen Mother was at that time.

The marriage between the two countries is a matter of great importance, not to mention that there are cities in exchange. How can this be a joke?

If the Queen Mother agrees to cancel the engagement at this moment, it means that she will have to return the five cities of Yuxia Kingdom.

Is it possible for an emperor to hand over and return a city that he has just seized?

Not only Xiahou Jiuyue didn't understand, but all the civil and military officials in the court also expressed their incomprehension, not knowing what the empress was trying to do.

Xiahou Jiuyue pretended to have a lot of questions in her mind, but before she could figure it out, she saw Zhongli Muchen returning home with a distant and proud look on his face.

"Thank you for your care these days, Your Highness. Mu Chen would like to thank His Highness Prince Chen."

"Prince Chen, now that our marriage has been resolved, Mu Chen should not continue to live in Prince Chen's mansion. But the Phoenix Queen said that she would escort Mu Chen back to Yuxia in three days, so Mu Chen needs to nag Prince Chen for a few more days." Zhongli Mu Chen stepped forward and said.

When talking about returning home, there was a bright light in his eyes.

Thinking of the cold treatment he had received in Prince Chen's Mansion these days, he had had enough.

If it weren't for this marriage contract, how could he have been poisoned and almost never saw the sun in the sky?

He had already thought about it. Even if he would be scolded by his countrymen and his imperial sister after returning home, he felt it would be much safer than being here.

Hearing this, Xiahou Jiuyue actually felt relieved.

I thought it would take some time to cancel their engagement, but I never thought that he would take the initiative to seek a solution.

Although it was unexpected, it was a good thing for both of them.

If the two of them cancel their engagement as soon as possible, he will suffer less.

"Sure, Your Highness, please feel free to do as you please." Xiahou Jiuyue said indifferently.

Since he is leaving soon, she will do her best to be a good host and entertain him well in her house for the next two days.

In Huihe County.

At this time, Xiahou Yan was busy with the affairs of the disaster victims.

When she received letters from the capital, she would take some free time to open and read them.

"!!!" When she saw the contents of the letter, she froze instantly.

She felt as if she was struck on the top of her head by a bolt of lightning, and she couldn't recover for a long time.

My father was deposed twice by my mother in one day and was directly sent to the cold palace.

Xiahou Yan almost vomited blood. She had only been away from the capital for a few months when her father passed away and her maternal family was gone too.

She really didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Finally, she became so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood. Then her eyes rolled back and she fainted on the ground.

Seeing this, the people around were suddenly panicked.

"His Royal Highness Duan Wang!"

"His Royal Highness Duan Wang!"

In the capital, at this moment, in the imperial study.

The queen suppressed the rage in her chest and forced a smile from her stiff face.

"Queen Mother." Xiahou Jiuyue said.

I was suddenly summoned to the Imperial Study by my mother. I wonder if it is related to the broken engagement.

"Jiuyue, I have cancelled your engagement with Prince Yuxia. Do you blame me in your heart?"

"I dare not. It all depends on you, mother." Xiahou Jiuyue said.

She didn't even have time to express her gratitude, so how could she blame or complain?
