"Yao'er, believe me. As long as you do as I say, you won't be discovered. Even if you are discovered, Prime Minister Mu can't blame you."
As Mu Yunyu spoke, he reached out and steadied Mu Peiyao's shoulders. His emotions were sincere and touching, but his words were full of calculation.
"Brother Yu, you and sister, then...what about me?" Tears flashed in Mu Peiyao's eyes. She looked so pitiful that any man would feel distressed when seeing her.
"Yao'er, your sister and I are just playing around. As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sees it, your sister will be more likely to refuse the marriage proposal and have a better chance of winning. I am also making plans for our future."
Mu Peiyao still felt a little bothered. When she thought that the man she loved would soon embrace another woman, the woman she hated the most, her heart ached.
"But didn't my sister promise you that day at the Huguo Temple that she would refuse the marriage?"
"Yaoyao, whether your sister agrees to reject the marriage or not, we can be more stable if we do this."
Mu Yunyu suddenly felt annoyed by Mu Peiyao's delicate personality.
Although she is lovely, she is hesitant at critical moments and it always takes a lot of effort to coax her.
Not to mention that Mu Peiyun did not directly agree to him that day in the Huguo Temple, after returning, he heard Yu Yi report that it was the prince who saved Mu Peiyun that day.
Mu Yunyu was even more panicked, always feeling that things would be different from what they had imagined.
Time is running out. The only way to make Mu Yunchen give up is to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince catch him and Mu Peiyun having physical contact.
He didn't believe that Mu Yunchen would be willing to marry any woman that Mu Yunyu had touched and keep her in the palace as a treasure.
If time wasn't tight, there would be no excuse to bring Mu Yunchen and Mu Peiyun together on a normal day, and Mu Yunyu didn't want to do something shameful in such an occasion.
After all, he is a prince of a country. Why would he commit adultery for a woman at this banquet? If he was discovered by others, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of him as a prince?
Thinking of this, Mu Yunyu felt more and more that he must ask Yu Yi to send more guards to surround the house and only let Mu Yunchen in.
While wiping her tears, Mu Peiyao secretly glanced at Mu Yunyu and saw that his expression was not as gentle as usual, but rather a little impatient. She changed the subject and quickly admitted her mistake.
"Brother Yu, don't be angry. Yaoyao is ignorant and shouldn't say so much. Yaoyao just does what is asked."
Mu Yunyu also realized that he had not disguised himself well, and immediately reached out to wipe the tears from Mu Peiyao's beautiful face, but when he looked closely, he saw a lump of eye booger in the corner of her eye.
Mu Yunyu suddenly felt nauseous, and he suppressed it with some effort, then changed his tone and said gently: "It's this prince... It's my fault, I shouldn't be mean to Yaoyao.
Don't worry, Yaoyao. When the great cause is accomplished, I will make you the most noble woman in the world."
"Brother Yu~" Mu Peiyao threw herself into Mu Yunyu's arms with a coquettish look. Her little girl's attitude was clearly revealed, making it hard for people not to want to protect her.
"The back garden of this general's mansion is really a bit rough. When Sister Jing'er gets married in a few days, she will be busy."
Lin Xi walked in front by himself, making jokes about Yu Xuejing from time to time.
It was Su Ziyuan, Bai Yu's deputy general, who told her that there were many blooming hydrangeas in the back garden of the general's mansion, which were very beautiful.
Only then did she hurriedly bring Yu Xuejing and Mu Peiyun to sneak over to watch.
Unfortunately, the flowers are beautiful, but they are taken care of too roughly.
"Oh~ I was wondering, when I saw Xue Jing's face blushing like that when she came in, I thought she was tired from running, but it turned out that she ran into General Xiaobai at the door."
Mu Peiyun also teased Yu Xuejing.
Among the three of them, only Yu Xuejing was engaged to General Xiaobai, so she was bound to be the target of ridicule.
The three of them chatted with each other, and from time to time they pointed at the hydrangeas in the garden and began to recite poems. The sky gradually darkened until Cai Li, Mu Peiyao's personal maid, came over.
"My lady, why are you here, making it difficult for me to find you."
Cai Li bent over and supported herself on her knees, panting, as if something urgent had happened.
Mu Peiyun was puzzled. She smiled at Yu Xuejing and Lin Xi before turning to Caili and asking, "Why are you coming here to see me instead of serving your young lady?"
"Miss, it's Madam. Madam is not feeling well, so Miss sent this servant to call you."
Cai Li lowered her head and answered respectfully.
Originally thought that Mu Peiyao was going to cause trouble again, but unexpectedly it was her mother. Mu Peiyun became anxious, turned around to say goodbye to Lin Xi and Yu Xuejing, and walked towards the front hall.
When I arrived at the front hall, my mother was no longer sitting there. However, Mu Peiyao, who was not there before, was now sitting there feeling uneasy.
As soon as he approached, Mu Peiyun asked directly: "Where is your mother?"
When Mu Peiyao saw Mu Peiyun coming back, she immediately stood up and cried, "Eldest sister, you are finally back. Mother suddenly complained of a headache earlier, and I didn't know what to do. I could only send her to rest first."
Mu Peiyun was only worried about Mu Qingqing at the moment, and for a moment she didn't notice that Mu Peiyao's eyes were always wandering when she spoke.
This was probably the first time she had done something like this, and in such a big occasion, so Mu Peiyao felt a little guilty and she practiced what she was going to say over and over in her mind many times.
"Where is mother now? I'll go and see her. Can you please call the imperial physician?"
Mu Peiyun frowned, his tone somewhat cold.
"Yao'er doesn't have a token, so how can she invite the imperial physician? I just managed to find the palace physician to boil a bowl of medicine, and I was just about to send it over."
As Mu Peiyao spoke, she pointed at the dishes on the table, which were covered with lids.
Mu Peiyun reached out and touched the edge of the bowl, then retracted her fingers: "It's so hot, why don't you take off the lid to let the soup cool down?"
Mu Peiyao had already imagined all the questions that Mu Peiyun would ask, and now she was able to answer them with ease.
"The court doctor said not to let the effects of the medicine spread."
In fact, it was just because the medicine inside was mixed with some unknown aphrodisiac. Once the smell spread, people sitting nearby would smell it too much, and the effect of the medicine would become difficult to control.
Mu Peiyun was too lazy to talk to her, and she thought Mu Peiyao would not dare to lie to her about her mother's affairs in such a public place. At this moment, she just wanted to see her mother as soon as possible to see how she was doing.
"Take me where my mother is."
"Yes, elder sister." Mu Peiyao said as she stood aside, leading the way and ordering Caili to bring the bowl of medicine.
Just as I was about to leave, suddenly——
Cai Li held the medicine bowl in both hands and said with some concern: "Miss, Miss, the medicine seems to be cold. Do you need to ask the palace doctor to make another bowl?"
Mu Peiyun suddenly became alert and looked at Caili with suspicion. She had just touched the edge of the bowl and complained it was too hot, so why was she saying the medicine was cold now?
And why didn't this maid carry the bowl tray, but instead went straight to the medicine bowl?
