"General Gu!" The guards stood up straight and saluted, looking at Gu Yunting with admiration in their eyes.

Gu Yunting nodded slightly and ordered calmly: "Open the palace gate!"

Under Yan Muyun's gaze that seemed to be enjoying the show, the two guards opened the inner palace door without any hesitation.

Yan Muyun: ???

What about the agreed time of Chen?

Where is the promised imperial edict?

So the rules only target people like her who have no power or influence? And she is just a humble worker! She has no need for empathy.

No matter how angry she was, she had to reason. Yan Muyun knelt down and performed the standard blessing ceremony in front of Gu Yunting, "Thank you, Lord Gu, for your help."

I was planning to say a few more polite words, but then I thought better of it. No matter how much I say to Binggeda, I won't get a response, and saying one more word would be a waste of words.

Sure enough, Gu Binggeda only nodded slightly at her and was reluctant to say a word in response.

After the master and servant went in, the palace door creaked shut again.

After they were far away from the inner palace gate, Lian Qiao reported in a low voice, "Master Gu has been looking at Miss just now. I'm afraid he is interested in you, Miss?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Yan Muyun glared at the little girl unhappily. Binggeda didn't even bother to talk to her, so how could he be interested in her?

Seeing that his master was angry, Lian Qiao shut up and dared not say anything.

But she clearly saw that Lord Gu was staring at his young lady, and even when the door was closed with only a small gap left, he was still staring at her!

The man is looking at the woman so hard that he can't let her go. What else could it be but love?

As soon as the master and servant entered the yard, Yan Muqing hurried out from the east wing.

"Third sister is finally back! I wanted my aunt to ask the Queen to take you back, but unfortunately the Queen was too busy with the birthday banquet to see my aunt. Did the eldest princess make things difficult for the third sister?"

Yan Muyun shook her head. "I was not embarrassed by the princess! Walls have ears. Let's go inside and talk in detail."

Yan Muqing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.

The eldest princess liked to collect some beautiful girls to play with her. Even after she got a prince consort, she did not curb her dissolute behavior.

Although those girls were openly pampered by the eldest princess in her mansion, it was unknown how they were treated in private.

Yan Mujun did not return home all night, and she was so worried that she could not sleep all night. However, few people knew about the eldest princess's special hobby. Even if she asked the queen to ask the eldest princess to send someone away, she had no suitable reason and could only let Yan Mujun be left in Chuyun Pavilion.

After entering the house and sending the servants away, Yan Mujun and Yan Muqing roughly told each other about what happened after they fell into the water yesterday, but they deliberately ignored the encounter with Gu Yunting.

Yan Muqing didn't bother with the details and went straight to the point, "Our plan is halfway done. The next step is up to Third Sister. Anyway, we must arrange the marriage between Second Sister and Prince Rong as soon as possible."

Now the two of them have worked together to shoot the arrow, but it is still unknown whether they can hit the bull's eye.

Yan Muyun slammed the table and stood up, "Boss Yan, what do you mean? We agreed that I would just cooperate in falling into the water, and then show up to prove my identity. Now I have done what I should do, what else do you want me to do? Yesterday, the second brother almost didn't recover, you saw how dangerous the situation was. I tell you, Yan Muqing, this is only this time, I will never help you commit murder again in the future."

"Things have come to this. Second sister has no choice but to enter Prince Rong's Mansion. If Prince Rong does not agree to marry second sister, what should second sister do? Can third sister really bear to abandon him?" Yan Muqing bit her lip, her tone hesitant.

Yan Mujun really wanted to curse. It was not enough to take advantage of her, but he took advantage of her completely?

But there was no point in being angry. She had already gotten involved and put Yan Muxi in trouble. She needed to properly resolve the mess.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Third sister, go find Prince Rong and ask her to welcome second sister into the palace!"

Yan Muyun laughed at Yan Muqing's matter-of-fact tone. What a bullshit beg. It was clearly coercion.

"I'm going to force Prince Rong to marry the second son. Can we be any more ruthless?"

From the perspective of Prince Rong, his beloved not only intervened and plotted against him, but also forced him to marry a woman he didn't like, which was tantamount to killing him.

Yan Muqing asked back, "Could it be that Third Sister has a better idea?"

"The second brother was rescued by Prince Rong, and his innocence was taken away by him. He might even ask to marry the second brother without me forcing him!" Yan Mujun spread his hands, pretending to be indifferent.

"This concerns my second sister's life. We can't take any chances or make any decisions without hesitation! My third sister must do it if she has to force Prince Rong to nod his head. Otherwise, if the boat capsizes, neither of us will be able to escape!" Yan Muqing's tone was unquestionably firm.

"You, threaten me!" Yan Mujun's face was full of disbelief.

"Third sister, just think of it as a threat from me! Anyway, I am not afraid of the punishment from my father and mother. If you and Aunt Ge are also fearless, then I will do nothing next."

Yan Muqing's face was cold and calm, which was not in line with his age, and he had the attitude of a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

In the previous life, Yan Muyun was the only one who fell into the water. According to Yan Muyun's description, he just felt his knees numb at the time, and then he lost gravity, broke through the fence and fell down.

The fence was as thick as an arm, how could it be broken so easily? It was obvious that someone wanted to harm Yan Muyun.

But Yan Muyun swam to shore safely, and as the Queen Mother's birthday was approaching, the accident was hastily dealt with without a thorough investigation.

It was not until many years later that it was revealed that the mastermind behind the harm of Yan Muyun was Li Chan'er. Li Chan'er harmed Yan Muyun because she was jealous of the eldest prince's excessive regard for Yan Muyun.

In this life, Yan Muyun still has a grudge with Li Chaner and will definitely suffer the disaster of falling into the water again.

She took advantage of the drowning accident to drag Yan Muxi into the water as well, and after succeeding, she lured Prince Rong into the water to save her.

The plan was implemented more smoothly than expected. Not only was Yan Muxi rescued by Prince Rong, but the two of them also had an intimate act in public.

But now, even if Yan Muxi's reputation has been ruined by Prince Rong, the Qian family is very likely to continue discussing the marriage.

Only if the Prince Rong's Mansion takes the initiative to propose a marriage can the transaction between the Qian family and my father be completely stopped.

After the Lantern Festival, my father would leave Luodu for business. By the time he got the bargaining chip to compete for the position of Shangshu, it would be too late.

Therefore, Yan Muxi's marriage into Prince Rong's Mansion had to be finalized before her father had time to react.

The only person who could convince Prince Rong in such a short period of time was Yan Muyun, so she had no choice but to force him.

At the end of the Chen hour, officials and their wives rushed to the main hall of Xiangyun Palace one after another.

Yan Muqing and Yan Muyun entered the palace with the female members of the Su family. Since there were no elders in the Yan family, they were taken care of by the Queen Mother and their seats were arranged together with the female members of the Su family.

The main hall of Xiangyun Palace is comparable in size to the Qianqing Hall of the Imperial Palace. Although it is not as magnificent as the Qianqing Hall, its overall structure is also extremely gorgeous.

The female members of the Su family were lined up on both sides of the hall. The seats where the female members of the Su family sat were only a few steps away from the upper seats, so close that they could almost see the wrinkles on the faces of the upper noble ladies.

The Empress Dowager loved listening to music and watching dances. Since the Empress Dowager sat down, the sound of flutes and shengs never stopped in the hall. Empress Xue even specially arranged a segment for noble ladies to perform.

The women of Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion sat diagonally opposite to the women of Su Mansion. Li Chan'er was not wearing a cotton coat, only a wide-sleeved skirt, and her hair was half hanging down and not completely tied up. It was obvious that she was ready to go on stage to perform.

The first to perform was the youngest daughter of the Hua family, Hua Wanying, who was known as the most talented woman in Jiangnan. She demonstrated her best skill, dance painting, painting while dancing.

Hua Wanying was seen wearing special shoes and dancing with her graceful figure to the elegant music. When the Taoyao dance was over, the painting under her feet was also completed.

When you unfold it, it turns out to be a lifelike picture of a peach forest in early spring.
