"Okay." Mo Wenjing said it lightly, but the corner of his eyes swept across Mu Xue like a knife.

He couldn't believe that this woman who had always obeyed him would actually betray him.

Mu Xue's body couldn't help but tremble when his eyes swept over her. She lowered her head and dared not look into Mo Wenjing's eyes. Fear lingered in her heart.

Mu Yan sensed her fear, patted her shoulder gently, and gave her a firm look.

Mo Yuche also sensitively felt that the atmosphere was not right at this time, but since everyone was there, he didn't ask anything. Han Bingjie, on the other hand, didn't notice anything unusual.

Several people went down the mountain with their own thoughts, but they didn't expect that the mountain was already in chaos.

This incident has caused a great uproar. The emperor has dispatched all the troops to search for the person. If they cannot find him before dark, they will probably raze the entire misty forest to the ground.

Mu Yan was shocked when she found out. Although the disappearance of a prince and a princess was indeed not a trivial matter, there was no need to make such a big fuss about it. It was as if they wanted the whole world to know about it. It seemed that there must be someone behind the scenes fanning the flames.

This trick is really a pity.

After the two of them reported their safety to the emperor, Mu Yan walked towards her own tent.

Seeing Mu Yan return safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and gathered around to show concern.

"Yan'er."

"Yan girl, are you okay?"

A trace of warmth flashed through Mu Yan's heart: "I'm fine, it's Yan'er who is unfilial and makes the elders worry about me."

Han Zhen's cloudy eyes were full of worry, "You're not hurt, are you?"

Mu Yan held back her tears, stepped forward and said to comfort him, "Grandfather, I'm really fine, don't worry anymore."

Han Zhen finally felt relieved. "That's good, that's good. You've been tired all day, go back to the tent and rest for a while."

Sun also stepped forward and said with concern: "I asked the servants to cook some porridge. Eat something first and then have a good sleep."

Mu Yan smiled lightly: "Thank you, second aunt."

Bai's face was gentle: "Mrs. Mu is really thoughtful."

When Sun saw that she was praised by everyone again, her face was filled with pride again.

With the order from Marquis Zhongyong, the people from the Marquis' Mansion and the Mu Family stopped surrounding them. However, no one noticed that Mu Xue was standing aside. She was still injured, but from last night until today, no one cared except Mu Yan.

Seeing her lost look, Mu Yan pursed her lips and said, "Second sister, come back to the tent with me to rest. Your injury is not healed yet. I will help you take a look."

"it is good."

Mu Xue knew that Mu Yan asked her not only to help her with her wound, but many things had to be faced, so she followed Mu Yan into the tent without hesitation.

Mu Yan checked her injuries first, and after making sure she was fine, he asked sternly, "Tell me, how much do you know about today's incident?"

Mu Yan sat on the stool, tapping the table with her slender fingers, her tone leaving no room for doubt.

"I……"

Seeing Mu Xue hesitating, Mu Yan slammed the table heavily with his palm.

"Tell me, how much do you know and what exactly is going on."

Although she roughly guessed the whole story, she still wanted to get confirmation from Mu Xue.

Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Mu Xue spoke carefully, her voice as thin as a mosquito's hair: "King Xuan wanted to win over the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery to strengthen his own power, but the Marquis is upright and only loyal to the emperor, so he rejected his invitation. And knowing that the Marquis loves you the most, he turned his attention to you.

Everything that happened today was planned by King Xuan. First, he let Princess Xingrong fight with you and forced you to take another road. Then he ordered people to release the black bear to attract your attention and let you enter the misty forest without anyone noticing.

Then he can enter the misty forest to create an encounter with you. As long as the two of you spend the night in the forest, your reputation will be damaged. He is now asking the emperor to grant you a marriage to preserve your reputation. The Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion will definitely be grateful to him. "

Mu Yan took a few deep breaths, and things turned out just as she had expected.

"This wasn't your idea, was it?"

After hearing Mu Yan's question, Mu Xue quickly waved her hands, her face flushed with anxiety: "No, it really wasn't me. I just heard it accidentally, and King Xuan found out, but he didn't blame me and asked me to cooperate with him."

"Cooperate?"

Mu Yan frowned.

"Yes, he said that after something happens, someone should whisper in your ear. If I say more good things about him, you will be willing to be his princess."

Mu Yan suppressed her anger and continued to ask, "What else?"

Mu Xue's voice was filled with tears: "He said that when you become the princess, and I am your sister, then it will be natural for you to take me as your concubine."

Mu Yan snorted, "Despicable and shameless." Then he pointed at Mu Xue and cursed, "And you, you are an idiot."

Mu Xue finally couldn't hold back her tears.

"You still have the nerve to cry. Don't you think about it? The Northern Qi law stipulates that each prince can only have one princess, two concubines, three concubines, and countless other concubines. Do you think that with your status, he will leave the position of concubine for you? Giving you the status of concubine at most is already a compliment.

Well, even if you can accept the status of a concubine, can you accept a man like this deceiving you?

After all, you have lived two lives, so how come your brain has not improved at all?"

Mu Xue was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Mu Yan had also guessed that she was reborn.

"You knew already?"

Mu Yan glanced at her and said, "Don't think that you are the only smart person in this world. I know everything you have done, including your assets outside. Moreover, I can make everything you have done vanish in a minute."

All the stores she secretly opened outside were under Tang Wen's control. With just a little manipulation, all her efforts would be wasted.

In this world, it is difficult to move forward without money. If she didn't have the financial support from those stores, she would definitely be at the mercy of others like in her previous life.

Mu Xue collapsed on the ground, realizing that she had always been too clever for her own good.

Mu Yan continued, "And you probably don't know the relationship between Mo Wenjing and Qi Ning."

Seeing that she was not as surprised as she had imagined, Mu Yan's eyes lit up. Her second sister was not so confused. Yesterday's incident should be able to make her see something.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Mu Xue's eyes. "The blatant favoritism of Concubine Jing and Princess Xingrong yesterday forced me to speculate on the relationship between Qi Ning and King Xuan. She must have targeted me because of King Xuan. It's just that she is just a pawn like me."

Because since King Xuan could plan today's drama, it means that his candidate for the principal wife is still Mu Yan. Although Qi Ning was born in the Duke's Mansion, the Duke of Qi has no military power now, and it can be said that he is in name only.

But the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion is different. Although it is not as good as the Duke's Mansion in name, the Marquis' Mansion holds military power, which is the most practical for King Xuan.

At that time, the most he could do was to coax Qi Ning and promise to keep her as a concubine, which would be the best of both worlds.

But between her and Qi Ning, Concubine Jing and Princess Xingrong chose to help Qi Ning, which means that they are more insignificant pawns than Qi Ning.

That's why she finally realized her true identity and stopped being stubborn.

Mu Yan felt sympathy for Mu Xue and stepped forward to help her up. "Get up, your injury is more important. Now that you have seen the true face of King Xuan, you should cut off all contact with him from now on."

Then he changed the subject: "You have been with him for so long, you should know something about him..."
