"What..." Mu Peiyun exclaimed, but was covered by Lin Xi in time.

He glanced towards the door guiltily before putting his hand down.

"Yun'er, keep your voice down."

Mu Peiyun finally had the chance to ask, "You married Vice General Su? So soon? Did Minister Lin know?"

"We haven't gotten married yet. My father and Uncle Su and Aunt Su haven't met yet. It's just that Ziyuan allowed me to enter the Su family tree."

Hearing this, Mu Peiyun's eyes widened even more, full of astonishment...

"They've already been included in the family tree, but it's still not considered a marriage? Does it count as a private marriage?"

"Yun'er, you're talking nonsense." Lin Xi pretended to be angry and took Mu Peiyun's hand away.

Seeing this, Mu Peiyun hurriedly coaxed him: "Okay, I was just teasing you. Anyway, I still wish you and Deputy General Su the best."

Mu Peiyun sent her heartfelt blessings. She and His Highness have always supported each other, and she also hopes that all the little sisters can find their own happiness.

Five days later, they arrived at Zhongdu City.

Mu Yunchen first sent Mu Peiyun back to the Prince's Mansion, then immediately rode his horse to the palace and handed the memorial that had been prepared long ago to the emperor.

He also brought Ouyang Xuan into the palace, but the emperor said nothing and sent them both out of the palace.

The two men walked out of the palace and looked at each other, unsure of what the emperor meant.

Mu Peiyun had just returned home and sat down when an uninvited guest came.

"Crown Princess, the Princess and the Consort are here."

Mu Peiyun was unable to react for a moment. A princess who was related to a relative by marriage? When did a princess who was related to a relative by marriage appear?

After a pause, he suddenly remembered that the princess consort was Yuwen Yuchao, the princess that Mu Yunyu had just married when they went to Fanyang.

What is she here to do?

Seeing that Mu Peiyun didn't say anything, Su Jiu asked tentatively: "If the Crown Princess doesn't want to see you, I will go and tell the Princess of the Marriage?"

After all, she and Su Niang had witnessed the hardships that the Crown Princess went through during her pregnancy, and now that they had finally returned home, they could take a comfortable rest.

As a result, some tactless people came to the door immediately, who might be here to cause trouble.

Mu Peiyun rubbed his brows and said, "No need. She is the princess of the imperial family. She is visiting me under the guise of a visit. There are so many people watching outside. There is no reason for me not to see her."

"If I don't see her today, tomorrow people might spread rumors that I am spoiled and arrogant, and don't like the royal bride, and I am looking for someone to help me."

"Sujiu, go, please sit in the front hall with the princess, I will follow soon."

"Vegetarian brew, prepare tea."

After giving the order, Mu Peiyun stayed in the bedroom for a while before getting up and heading towards the front hall.

I looked down and saw that my belly was slightly bulging. I thought that it would be even more difficult for me to move in the near future.

"Princess, please sit down for a moment." Su Niang said as she poured tea for Yu Wen Yuchao.

Yu Wenyu sat up straight, smelled the smell in the teacup, picked up his handkerchief and covered his nose. It seemed a bit unpleasant?

However, there was no sign of complaint from Yuwen Yuchao.

"It's okay, the Crown Princess has just returned, I'll just wait a little longer."

Mu Peiyun stood outside the door and listened carefully to this sentence before adjusting her expression and walking inside.

"The princess has come, and I have neglected her."

Mu Peiyun had a huge smile on his face, even though it was stiff, but he felt very tired in his heart.

When Yuwen Yuchao saw the person coming, he quickly stood up, saluted and shouted: "What are you talking about, Princess? It's Yuchao's fault for disturbing you without sending a letter in advance. I hope you won't blame me."

After hearing this, Mu Peiyun quickly reached out to help Yuwen Yuchao up and said kindly, "What are you talking about, Princess? There is no need for us to exchange invitations. You can come anytime you want."

It didn't feel like they were meeting for the second time. There was a strong sense of familiarity between the two of them, but both of them were pretending to be in a difficult situation.

After sitting down, Yuwen Yu waved to the maid, who then came forward and placed a big box in front of Mu Peiyun.

Once opened, there were priceless jewels inside.

Mu Peiyun quietly waited for Yuwen Yuchao's next words.

"When I married the prince, the Crown Princess was busy with the Crown Prince in Fanyang to provide disaster relief.

My concubine and the prince have not yet paid respect to the crown prince and the crown princess, so we are here to make up for it."

Having said that, Yuwen Yuchao ordered the maid to put the things down.

Mu Peiyun's expression did not change, she still had a faint smile on her face, and her eyes never fell on the box of jewelry from beginning to end.

He also waved to Qianmian, who immediately took out the things Mu Peiyun had ordered and handed them to Yuwen Yuchao.

"How can I accept the princess's things? Wouldn't that make me a laughing stock?"

"I was busy with the Crown Prince and missed your wedding with Prince Heqin. We should have prepared the gift. The princess is too polite."

As Mu Peiyun spoke, he gestured to Qianmian to open the box.

"I think that the princess must have seen all the good things, so I won't give her any jewelry."

"This is the specialty that I brought back with Your Highness from Jiangnan—Longjing tea."

"Although it is not as valuable as jewels, it is also fragrant and has a sweet taste. Princess, take it back and let the prince taste it to relieve your anger."

Mu Peiyun said this and smiled at Yuwen Yuchao, but Yuwen Yuchao seemed extremely dazzling.

"Jiangnan? Isn't Jiangnan quite far from Fanyang? You don't have to go through Jiangnan to return to the capital. Why did the Crown Princess and His Highness take such a long detour?"

"Mr. Lin's daughter is in Jiangnan. I will go with you to pick her up and bring her back together."

Mu Peiyun was secretly delighted. She didn't expect that Sister Xi would be useful at this moment.

In this way, even if Lu Li’s lover sent them a message, it would not be exposed.

After hearing this, Yu Wen Yuchao's expression suddenly changed. He hid it in time, but was still caught by Mu Peiyun.

Mu Peiyun just guessed why Yu Wenyuchao came.

She and Yuwen Yuchao had no interactions in either the previous life or this life.

Just as she and His Highness returned to the Prince's Mansion, Yu Wen Yuchao arrived right after. It seemed that he had been waiting for them for a long time.

It took me a long time to realize that Yuwen Yuchao was so anxious because of two things, or in fact, the same thing.

Mu Yunyu sent people to assassinate His Highness and her, but failed. He didn't even see their figures and returned to the capital safely.

Considering His Highness's plan and orders, the Prince's residence must have received several boxes filled with bloody human heads early this morning.

Mu Yunyu must be furious and mad as hell in his home.

This is why Yuwen Yuchao came to the Prince's Mansion to inquire about the situation.

She might as well tell her directly to avoid having to engage in scheming with her, which was very tiring.

Sure enough, after finding out how Mu Yunchen and Mu Peiyun escaped the assassination and why they took a detour, Yuwen Yuchao didn't want to stay for a moment and quickly stood up to bow and take his leave.
