After watching Mu Yunchen's figure disappear around the corner, Mu Peiyun sorted out his thoughts and turned to go to Mu Qingqing.

The effect of the medicine gradually faded, and the flush on her body dissipated. When consciousness returned, Mu Peiyao felt the pain in her body and suddenly opened her eyes.

What caught her eyes was the mess on the ground. Her red bellyband was still hanging around Mu Yunyu's waist, and it was already dark outside.

Mu Yunyu didn't know whether he was tired or asleep, he just held her shoulders motionlessly. Mu Peiyao suddenly realized something, grabbed the quilt on the small bed and wrapped herself up, crying in grievance.

She wanted to marry the most noble man in the Mu Kingdom. Although the Fifth Prince was not bad and she did have feelings for him, she did not want to give her body to him so early.

Originally, the Fifth Prince was just her second best choice. Before, the Crown Prince was only devoted to that woman, so she had no choice but to start trying to seduce the Fifth Prince.

But she had not completely given up on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but now... The more Mu Peiyao thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. It was as if there was a stone blocking her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

It was all because of that bitch Mu Peiyun. She blocked her way and from then on she only had the Fifth Prince as her choice.

Now, she has given her body to the Fifth Prince before she has even got engaged. Her most powerful bargaining chip is gone. How can she plan for the future?

Thinking of this, Mu Peiyao's crying became louder and louder. The guards standing outside became alert instantly. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do, and could only pray that this lady would speak more quietly.

Mu Yunyu had just fallen asleep due to tiredness, and was awakened by Mu Peiyao's crying. He looked at her in confusion for a while before sitting up and coaxing Mu Peiyao softly.

This happened at General Bai's residence. If her voice was too loud and attracted people over, it would be bad and would damage his reputation.

"Yao'er, don't cry. Don't worry, since you have become mine, I will be responsible for you." Mu Yunyu put his arms around Mu Peiyao's shoulders and tried to pull off the quilt that was covering her face.

Hearing Mu Yunyu's words, Mu Peiyao became even more angry. If Mu Yunyu hadn't insisted on instructing her to give that bitch some aphrodisiac, she wouldn't have fallen for it.

Mu Peiyun, you bitch, you knew clearly what was in there, yet you left me alone. If she had let Lu Li give her acupuncture at that time, I would not have lost my mind and had no choice but to find the Fifth Prince.

No, that medicine bowl was broken, and everyone should have smelled it, so why was Mu Peiyun fine, and the two maids fine, but she was the only one...

Suddenly Mu Peiyao seemed to understand something.

Anger, resentment, shame, disgust and resentment gathered in her heart at this moment. Mu Peiyao secretly made up her mind to make those who bullied her pay the price.

Under Mu Yunyu's gentle whispers, Mu Peiyao, with her red eyes and tears hanging on her long eyelashes, looked as pitiful as a lotus emerging from water.

When she met Mu Yunyu's gaze, she burst into tears and threw herself into his arms, shouting, "Brother Yu, Yao'er has given you everything, you must treat Yao'er well."

The beauty in his arms was crying, sobbing one after another. The wetness on her neck suddenly warmed his heart. Mu Yunyu actually felt a lot of pity at this moment.

If Mu Peiyao was the real daughter of the Prime Minister, why would he spend so much time on Mu Peiyun? It was obvious that a woman as considerate, gentle and virtuous as Yao'er was the most suitable for him.

Mu Yunyu sighed, an indescribable pain rolling in his heart. His mother's family was just a prefect, and it took her many years to climb to the position of a concubine after giving birth to him. Her status was low. How could he not understand Yao'er's situation as a concubine's daughter.

Or perhaps it was precisely because of their similar circumstances that he subconsciously felt a desire to protect and cherish Mu Peiyao, but he had great ambitions in his heart, so this insignificant feeling meant nothing.

Thinking of this, Mu Yunyu's eyes gradually turned cold. Even so, Yao'er could only be his concubine at most, and the position of the principal wife would still be reserved for Mu Peiyun.

How could the help brought by a little concubine's daughter in the prime minister's mansion be comparable to that of a legitimate daughter?

"Yao'er, I will never let you down. If you are willing, I will go to ask the Queen to grant you to me as a concubine tomorrow."

She is just a concubine's daughter. I think the Queen can make the decision on her behalf and she doesn't need to go before the Emperor.

Mu Peiyao was crying in Mu Yunyu's arms, but she stopped crying when she heard these words. She looked up at Mu Yunyu in disbelief, as if to confirm: "Just a concubine?"

Mu Yunyu subconsciously avoided Mu Peiyao's gaze. He was always known for being a modest gentleman, gentle as jade. How could he say such words in front of a woman with whom he had just had physical contact?

But he had to make a promise and comfort Mu Peiyao. What if she was dissatisfied and shamelessly told the matter to others? People in the Censorate loved to gossip, and if his father got the news, he would have no chance of winning the battle for the throne.

"Yao'er, listen to me. This prince promises you that being a concubine is only temporary. Once I have the support of the Prime Minister's Office and have secured victory, I will kick that concubine out of the house. You will be my principal wife, no, the queen."

It's a pity that Mu Yunyu thought too far ahead. He and Mu Peiyun didn't have any relationship yet, but he had already called her a divorced woman.

"Yao'er is yours, but she is still just a concubine. Brother Yu, don't you think Yao'er is just a concubine? Not as good as Mu Peiyun, and not worthy of your position as your principal wife?" Mu Peiyao started crying while making a fuss.

Mu Yunyu was somewhat helpless and could only continue to coax her: "Yaoyao, you know, I want to marry your sister only because of the power of your Prime Minister's Mansion.

We must advance and retreat together and work towards our common goal, so that we can trample Mu Yunchen under our feet, win a beautiful turnaround, and let the whole world celebrate for us."

Mu Peiyao was obviously aware of her own identity. Mu Yunyu was a prince after all. She couldn't push him too hard. She softened her voice, but it was still tearful.

"Brother Nayu, promise me that from now on, Yao'er is the only one in your heart, and you will never fall in love with Mu Peiyun, otherwise you will not get the highest position."

Betting his most important thing, Mu Peiyao has always known how to play with people's hearts.

Mu Yunyu didn't care about that. He just wanted to comfort Mu Peiyao and promised her hastily: "Okay, okay, I promise you. Yao'er, please wait for me for a few days. I will ask the Queen to welcome you into the palace."

"Yao'er knows that Brother Yu has me in his heart." Mu Peiyao shyly hid in Mu Yunyu's arms again.

Mu Yunyu reached out his hand and stroked the soft skin of the person on his body. He had to admit that the feeling Mu Peiyao gave him was far beyond the reach of those bed-warming maids in the palace.
