Seeing Yan Muxi teasing Ming Xin calmly, Yan Muqing felt a little relieved after a day's worry.

"The prince is going to the Northern Frontier. Did my second sister know in advance?"

"I don't know, but I have guessed a few clues."

Yan Muqing asked again, "What does the second sister plan to do in the future?"

Yan Muxi did not answer Yan Muqing's question. After a moment's silence, she said in a muffled voice: "Sister, I'm sorry, I may have to get off the ship early. Let's end our previous agreement here!"

Yan Muqing was stunned. After realizing what Yan Muxi meant, she was shocked. She asked uncertainly, "What do you mean, second sister?"

Because Mingxin caught a cold, she did not attend the palace banquet on New Year's Eve. She also hadn't seen Yan Muxi for some time and didn't know what exactly happened on New Year's Eve.

"On New Year's Eve, I was bullied by Prince Rui, and Yan Yongchen showed up in time to save me. He killed Prince Xian in front of me. The deaths of Prince Rui and Concubine Chen must have been his doing."

After hearing what Yan Muxi said, Yan Muqing was shocked beyond words.

She had guessed that the deaths of Prince Rui and Prince Xian were related to Yan Yongchen, but she did not expect that Yan Muxi had been bullied by Prince Rui, and she did not expect that Yan Yongchen would be so bold as to kill the prince in front of Yan Muxi.

After the shock, she asked in a trembling voice, "So, the second sister is scared?"

"I'm not afraid. I'm just too busy to keep my promise to my elder sister."

Yan Muxi paused, and then continued, "Big sister, you don't know that the emperor is afraid of the Rong Palace to an outrageous degree. In the case of the scholar's wife, Yu Wantai did not take the blame for the Rui Prince as the emperor wished, which led to the Rui Prince's bullying of me on New Year's Eve. Now that Yu Wantai has gone to the northern border, the emperor will not let the Rong Palace go. To me right now, the emperor is more terrifying than Yan Yongchen."

"How is this possible?" Yan Muqing couldn't believe it.

In his previous life, Yu Wantai also went to the northern border, and later returned to Luodu after making great achievements. Emperor Yuanjing did not do anything to the Rong Palace!

Wait, after Yu Wantai went to Northern Frontier, he disappeared for several years. Later, when he made great contributions and was awarded an official title, he revealed his identity as the Prince of Rong.

Could it be that Yu Wantai hid his identity not to escape the protection of his family, but was forced to do so because of the emperor's suspicion?

Yan Muxi smiled bitterly, "Facts are facts. Why would I lie to you, big sister?"

After a long pause, Yan Muqing finally digested the shock in her heart and accepted the fact. "So, what are you going to do next, second sister? If I ask for a divorce and go home, is there any hope that it will be possible?"

"How can there be any possibility of divorce since it's a marriage arranged by the royal family? Even if I die, I can't get rid of my identity as a royal family woman." The bitter smile on Yan Muxi's face widened.

Yan Muqing glared at him and said, "Second sister, what nonsense are you talking about? Things are not irreversible yet. Let's think of a way. There will always be a way to solve it. If all else fails, ask Yan Yongchen for help. If he can help you once, he will definitely be able to help you a second time."

Yan Muxi found it ironic that the person whom he had tried every means to deal with turned out to be his life-saving straw at the critical moment.

Not wanting to continue discussing this useless topic, she changed the subject, "Big sister, please stop comforting me. The grudges and right and wrong are now roughly clear. Yan Yongchen has gone down a path of no return. He and the people behind him will not let the prince go. Big sister, have you thought about how to deal with it in the future?"

"I don't have any clue for now." Yan Muqing sighed. She was really worried.

Ever since the incident with Old Lady Yan, Qian Mei lost favor, and her relationship with the prince returned to its former closeness.

Normally, she often flattered the prince, thinking that it would have some effect, but recently she found that the prince did not take her words to heart at all and still trusted Yan Yongchen very much.

Yan Muxi also realized that Yan Muching, the prince, and the Su family behind the prince were no match for Yan Yongchen.

"If you don't want to repeat the same mistake and have yourself and your loved ones die miserably like in the dream, you should get out of this situation in time!"

Yan Muqing denied it, "Impossible, I am the prince's concubine who has married the Royal Jade Butterfly, and Mingxin is the princess of the royal family. Even if we don't care about the prince, there is no way that my mother and I can get out of the swamp."

Yan Muxi had guessed that this was her answer. "If you don't want to withdraw, then just go for it. If you can't count on the Crown Prince, then get the Su and Xue families together and find a way to secure the Crown Prince's position as the heir. If possible, push the Crown Prince to the throne as soon as possible, and then you can have real stability."

In the current situation, only by gathering everyone's strength can we have a chance to change the trend.

Although the Su family and the Xue family do not have military power, the foundation of a century-old aristocratic family is an existence that even emperors are extremely wary of.

Moreover, they are already tied to the prince. If they can gather their strength and help the prince ascend the throne sooner, all difficulties will no longer be difficult.

"Second sister, this..." Yan Muqing was so surprised that she was speechless.

Emperor Yuanjing was in his prime, and helping the crown prince ascend the throne early would be tantamount to treason.

"That's all I have to say. Please think about it carefully, big sister!" Yan Muxi didn't want to say anything more.

Yan Muqing has the ability to predict the future. She has already pointed out the way forward for him. Whether he can succeed in this journey is not something she can control.

In just two or three days, the news that Princess Rong was divorced by Prince Rong and that Prince Rong's son went to the battlefield alone spread like wildfire.

Some people said that Prince Rong had a new love, so he abandoned the mother and son. Others said that Prince Rong’s son was not Prince Rong’s biological son, and that Prince Rong was so angry that he divorced his wife and abandoned his son.

Yan Muxi no longer has the energy to care about the disturbances in the outside world.

Princess Rong was hanging on to her last breath with ginseng slices. Zhuangzi had already prepared the coffin and was just waiting to bury her.

On the day of departure, Yan Muxi almost did not sleep all night and got up before dawn to start washing.

Seeing that Yinxia was not wearing the clothes of a servant in the palace, she asked unhappily, "Yinxia, ​​what are you doing? We agreed before that Dongyu would accompany me to the farm, and the three of you would stay in the palace for the time being."

"Dongyu is not thoughtful enough. I am afraid that she cannot take good care of the Crown Prince's Consort. Jinchun and Qiuzhu will be enough in the mansion. Dongyu and I will accompany the young lady to the farm." Yinxia's tone and eyes were extremely firm.

"Yinxia~" Yan Muxi scolded with cold eyes.

"If the Crown Princess really doesn't allow me to follow you, I will hire a carriage and follow the palace's carriage and go secretly." Yinxia threatened with a puffed face, showing her childish side rarely.

Yan Muxi suppressed the fierce look in his eyes and sighed helplessly, "Forget it, if you must follow me, then follow me. But there is one thing you must remember, in my eyes, everyone's life is life, there is no distinction between noble and humble, don't do anything stupid."

Yin Xia quickly nodded and agreed, "I will remember this. I will never do anything stupid to upset the Crown Prince's wife."

When the master and servants arrived at Zhuxiang Hall, Princess Rong had already been carried onto the carriage.

Hearing the noise, the old Prince Rong got off the carriage and said, "Please escort your mother on behalf of your father and bury her properly."

Yan Muxi nodded and agreed, "Father, rest assured, your daughter-in-law will bury mother properly." She thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Father, are you sure you don't want to see mother off?"

"No need to see her off. She was burdened with so many things when she was alive. Now that she is gone, let her go on her journey in a lighter manner!" Old Prince Rong waved his hand and turned into the yard.

Seeing the old man's back bent a little more, Yan Muxi suddenly felt her nose sore and her eyes turned red.

How sad it is that after a lifetime of military service, one ends up being separated from his wife and children!

When the sky turned pale, the carriage slowly drove out of the city gate.
