At first, Mu Yunyu didn't quite believe what Hai Kui said. He didn't believe that a maid in this mansion could be so bold.

Even if she was a first-class maidservant beside the princess, she shouldn't do such a thing at the cost of her life.

But later Hai Kui said that it was because she had a conflict with Yi Yao before, and Yi Yao took advantage of her favor from the prince to humiliate Hai Kui in every way, which made Hai Kui have bad intentions.

In addition, her master had just become pregnant, so Yi Yao went to seduce the prince.

Hai Kui was eager to protect her master and was unwilling to be humiliated. These two reasons directly led to her adding cold medicine into Yi Yao's food.

Hai Kui said that she had no intention of harming anyone, but just wanted to make Yi Yao infertile so that she could no longer show off her power and threaten her master's position.

But unexpectedly, Yi Yao still got pregnant, but she just couldn't keep the baby.

After hearing this, Mu Yunyu kicked Hai Kui three meters away. Yu Wen Yuchao was so scared that he covered his mouth tightly, fearing that he would scream.

In the end, Hai Kui admitted everything and was ordered by Mu Yunyu to be beaten to death and thrown into a mass grave.

When he heard the words "beaten to death", Yuwen Yuchao's body couldn't stop shaking.

She knew that with Mu Yunyu's methods, if Hai Kui took the blame for her, she would surely die.

But Yuwen Yuchao had thought of white silk and poisoned wine, but he never expected that he would be beaten to death with sticks.

When Hai Kui was taken away, Yuwen Yuchao went to take a look. She was bleeding from all seven orifices, and her eyes were wide open, as if she had died with her eyes open.

She was beaten to death.

After returning, Yuwen Yuchao felt nauseous and vomited for a while in his room.

I don’t know if it was because of the severe morning sickness during pregnancy, or because I saw the miserable state of the anemone, but I couldn’t recover for a long time.

On the first day of the Spring Examination, everything was calm and night fell.

Mu Yunchen returned to the Prince's Mansion exhausted. Mu Peiyun had prepared dinner early and was waiting for Mu Yunchen to come back.

Looking at the table full of hot soup and dishes, Mu Yunchen felt relieved. With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for?

Isn't the meaning of getting married that he works hard outside while his wife waits for him at home, and when he comes home from work, he can have a hot meal with his wife. Isn't this life like heaven?

"His Royal Highness is back."

As he spoke, Mu Peiyun personally pulled out a chair for Mu Yunchen and asked him to sit down.

Mu Yunchen held Mu Peiyun's hand on his shoulder and said distressedly: "If you are hungry, you don't have to wait for me. At worst, I can ask the kitchen to make it when I come back."

"If you become thin and hungry while waiting for me to come back every day before eating, I will feel bad."

At this moment, little Zhiyu was sitting in the rocking car, babbling non-stop, as if he was very dissatisfied that his father did not hug him immediately after returning home.

Mu Peiyun smiled softly, then sat next to Mu Yunchen and served him a bowl of pork rib soup and placed it in front of him.

Then he said, "Your Highness, how do you know that I haven't eaten before you came back?"

"Qingning~" Mu Yunchen was helpless. No matter how sharp his words were outside, he couldn't say a word when he met Qingning when he returned home.

"Well, I have fruits and cakes at home when I'm hungry, so I won't starve myself anyway."

"But you, you have been busy with the Spring Examination recently. You came back after dark a few days, and disappeared when I woke up the next morning. I saw that you looked haggard."

"This is the pork rib soup I made myself. It's very nourishing. Drink a few bowls later and then go to sleep. Don't worry about Xiao Zhiyu today. I'll take care of him."

In the past, if Mu Yunchen came back late, he would play with Mu Zhiyu for a while, giving Qingning some free time.

Therefore, Mu Peiyun, the new mother, was not too tired, and Mu Yunchen also felt very involved.

But seeing that Mu Yunchen was too tired today, Mu Peiyun couldn't bear it.

Unexpectedly, Mu Yunchen misunderstood.

I heard Mu Peiyun say that this soup is good for health and that he looked haggard, so I told him to go and rest.

Mu Yunchen felt that Qingning was disgusted with him for not satisfying her, which made Qingning unsatisfied.

So, Mu Yunchen drank two large bowls of pork rib soup and nourished himself so much that he almost had a nosebleed.

Fortunately, it is only spring now and summer has not yet arrived, so we can barely bear it.

Mu Yunchen was very full and was resting on a chair. He looked at the large table of dishes in front of him and wanted to try some more, but his stomach was already full.

Since Mu Peiyun gave birth, she has not only been interested in pastries, but has also studied cooking.

Whenever she is free, she can always be found in the kitchen.

At first, she had never been exposed to making pastries before, and she found it very interesting. Later, she felt that cooking had the same effect, so she started to like it.

Secondly, she also wanted to make something for Mu Yunchen to taste.

Maybe it’s not as good as what the chef makes, but it’s a thoughtful gesture and she is very satisfied.

"Qingning, you are so dexterous and thoughtful. I am a little afraid that you will be snatched away."

Mu Peiyun was speechless, glanced at Mu Yunchen, and said helplessly: "Your Highness, I already have a child with you, what are you thinking about?"

"Besides, Your Highness is the most talented man in this capital... oh no, in the world. I should be the one who is afraid that you will abandon us, an orphan and a widow."

Mu Yunchen nodded thoughtfully, but the sense of crisis did not disappear. It was just hidden lightly in his heart.

"Then Qingning is only allowed to cook for me from now on, and not for others."

Mu Peiyun suddenly realized what was going on when she heard this. If she had said it earlier, she would have thought Mu Yunchen was full, so why was he still staring at the table full of leftovers?

Mu Peiyun nodded and Mu Yunchen breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Mu Peiyun said out of the blue, "I wanted to ask my ninth brother to come to our house for dinner, but he said that as the chief examiner, he would be suspected of accepting bribes if he came to the prince's house to eat, so he asked us to eat by ourselves."

Mu Yunchen:……

It’s that brat Yun Xu again, just looking for something to do.

"Qingning, don't be angry with me."

Mu Yunchen had no choice but to act like a spoiled child to Mu Peiyun. What should he do? His wife was too good.

Mu Peiyun patted Mu Yunchen's hand and said, "Your Highness, Yunxu is your biological brother, you can't think like that."

"I know, I just don't want him to eat what you made."

Mu Yunchen was already tired, and now he looked as aggrieved as a big wolfdog, which made people very annoyed.

Mu Peiyun deliberately asked teasingly: "Just the ninth brother?"

Mu Yunchen thought for two seconds and replied: "Anyone except me."

Mu Peiyun nodded to herself and said casually: "What should I do? Before you came back, I made two boxes of cakes and sent them to the palace. I planned to let my mother taste them."

Mu Yunchen:……

How come the Crown Princess was married to him, and the Queen Mother wanted to compete with him for her? If she wanted to compete, she should compete with Mu Zhiyu. Although she was his own son, Mu Yunchen was reluctant to give her up.

But compared to his Crown Princess...it’s still Mu Zhiyu.

Mu Zhiyu:……

Okay, okay, this is my dad.

"I'm going to get it back."

Having said that, Mu Yunchen actually stood up and walked outside. Mu Peiyun thought he was joking and didn't say much.

Turning in that direction not only leads to leaving the house, but also to the bathroom.

Mu Peiyun just thought that Mu Yunchen went to the bathroom to take a shower.

So Mu Peiyun asked someone to clear the table and took Xiao Zhiyu out to play.

As soon as Mu Yunchen left the house, he rode his horse straight to the palace. Fortunately, the servant who delivered the cakes was a little slow and was stopped by Mu Yunchen before the cakes entered the palace.

Mu Yunchen handed the two large boxes of pastries that he had just bought from a vegetarian shop on the street to the servant, replaced the pastries with those made by Mu Peiyun, and then went back home.

Mu Peiyun had almost finished playing with Mu Zhiyu, so she asked Sujiu to guard outside the bathroom.

As soon as the prince came out, he would call her and she would go take a bath.

As a result, Sujiu came back and said that there was no one in the bathroom. Mu Peiyun didn't think much of it and thought that Mu Yunchen had already taken a bath, changed clothes, and returned to Lanyue Pavilion to rest.

After handing Mu Zhiyu over to the wet nurse, she went to the purification room.

Halfway through the wash, I suddenly heard footsteps outside the bathroom, and soon everything returned to calm.

Then someone pushed open the door of the bathroom. Mu Peiyun thought it was Sujiu who came in to add hot water. While washing, he said, "Sujiu, there is enough water, no need to add more."

"I don't need anyone here, you go guard outside."

No one answered, only the sound of a door closing was heard. Mu Peiyun turned around in confusion and saw a group of figures walking towards her.

Mu Peiyun was immediately frightened because there were several layers of gauze curtains and mist everywhere, so she couldn't see who the person was at all.

In the Prince's mansion's toilet, someone else suddenly appeared. Mu Peiyun was afraid that her innocence would be ruined, so she hurriedly pulled up her clothes to cover herself.

Suddenly I heard someone's voice: "Qingning, I'm back. I'm here to help you."

Mu Peiyun took a breath of cold air and was almost scared to death.

At that moment just now, she had already thought about how she would sacrifice herself heroically.

The result was a huge misunderstanding.

As soon as she put her hand down, Mu Peiyun blocked it again. Although she had done everything, she still couldn't resist being shy.

"Your Highness, didn't you go to bed? Why are you here?"

Mu Yunchen's eyes were fixed on the person opposite him through the veil. His thin lips parted slightly and his voice was so seductive.

"Who told you I went to bed?"

Mu Peiyun was puzzled: "Then you are not..."

What she actually wanted to say was, didn’t you take a shower, change clothes, and go back to your room?

But when she looked clearly at Mu Yunchen's clothes, it was obviously the same one he wore before and he hadn't changed it.

Mu Yunchen explained: "I went to get back the cakes you gave to our mother."

Mu Peiyun:………………

Why is your highness like this?

childish!

How childish!

It's really childish!!

But...what to do, she likes it so much.

But even though I like you, I can't be so close to you, right?

Seeing Mu Yunchen getting closer and closer to her step by step, she was naked, and Mu Peiyun couldn't help but speak out to stop him.

"Your Highness, don't come over here again. I'm taking a bath."

Mu Yunchen did not stop, but quickened his pace: "I know, I am here to accompany Qingning to take a mandarin duck bath."

Mu Peiyun wanted to cry but had no tears. She begged for mercy: "No... don't do that anymore?!"

Mu Yunchen: "Why not? It's not like you haven't washed it before."

Mu Peiyun:…………

Good, good, good, he is really her good prince, he won’t let her go at all.

…………

Only the sound of rippling water could be heard, and the servants outside hid in an empty place.

The night is so short again.

On the second day, there was still no disturbance in the Spring Examination, and everything was calm.

After the exam was over, the candidates who had been locked up for two days finally came out of the examination room.

At a glance, you can taste all the flavors of life.

Some people held the book with sad faces, while others opened the book and regretted repeatedly.

Some people have their parents, brothers and sisters come to greet them, while others are walking alone.

Some people seem to have a sure win, while others are as calm as water.

Lu Xiaoyu and Ouyang Xuan are the most direct comparison of these two types.

When Mu Yunchen saw Ouyang Xuan, he thought that he did not perform well, so he looked unhappy and did not show any joy.

After asking, I found out that he didn't take the questions of the Spring Examination seriously at all. Compared with the questions he had done before, this Spring Examination was much easier.

After waiting for a long time for the exam to end, Lan Yi called Bi Shiqi and Zi Yi together in the morning to celebrate with Ouyang Xuan at his home.

In Lan Yi's words, it doesn't matter whether you pass or not, as long as you pass the exam it's a celebration party.

After all the candidates had left, the door of the examination hall was closed again.

The first two days are for the candidates, while the last two days are for the examiners.

During the period when examiners are marking the papers, no one is allowed to visit or contact the examiners. They can only mark the papers in the examination room.

Even eating, drinking, defecating and urinating were all done in the examination hall.

Not only do we have to select the test papers with the best results, but we also have to present the most outstanding one to the emperor.

Only after the emperor’s personal review can the top scorer of this spring examination be determined.

This process is full of solemnity and mystery, and every step seems extremely important.

Many people are looking forward to seeing who will win this honor and become the focus of world attention.

The results will be announced in three days. Compared to the hardship of studying hard for more than ten years, the three days of waiting for the results are the most torturous.

Walking on the street, you can see many candidates who have just come out of the examination room crying, lamenting the fleeting time of hard study.

In contrast, Ouyang Xuan was very calm and walked calmly towards home.

Suddenly a voice from behind called Ouyang Xuan.

"My dear brother, you seem very confident. Could it be that you are 100% sure of winning the top prize in this spring exam?"

Lu Xiaoyu's tone was somewhat sarcastic. He looked down on everyone around Prince Damu.

What's more, this person might snatch his second place in the draft, so he wanted to cut Ouyang Xuan into pieces.

It’s a pity that he no longer has the confidence to kill anyone he wants.

Ouyang Xuan turned around and looked at Lu Xiaoyu, his expression slightly changed, and he nodded politely: "Mr. Lu, I have heard of your great name for a long time."

When Lu Xiaoyu saw that the other party recognized him, he naturally thought that Ouyang Xuan was also impressed by his literary talent, and he couldn't help feeling a little flattered.

Since he escaped from Li Ge and later sought help from Mu Yunyu, it has been a long time since anyone respected him so much.
