"Yao'er, you haven't told me yet why the Chinese medicine turned into you?"

While Mu Yunchen was being affectionate, he naturally would not forget the important matters. He had clearly drugged Mu Peiyun, but it was Yao'er who came here in the end. And where was Mu Yunchen? He had clearly sent someone to pretend to be Mu Peiyun to lure him here, but why was there no movement at all? He didn't believe that someone was behind this.

Who leaked his plan? This was clearly a golden opportunity. He was finally going to get the Prime Minister's daughter, but now...

Thinking about it, Mu Yunyu lowered his head to glance at Mu Peiyao in his arms. Now there was no loss, so it was not a loss.

But he thought he was meticulous and his plan was flawless, but he didn't expect that he would fail just because of Lu Li. It was also his fault that he hired the wrong person. Why let a fool like Mu Peiyao do it?

Upon hearing this, Mu Peiyao's eyes instantly turned cold, but her tone was still as if she had suffered great injustice: "Brother Yu, it's all my sister's fault. She insisted on asking me to hold the medicine bowl for her. Yaoer accidentally tripped and smelled the medicine. Yaoer had no choice but to come to you."

Mu Peiyao still had some conscience, and she almost made up a story that Mu Peiyun had forced the medicine into her mouth.

In fact, she also found it strange. She had obviously taken Chinese medicine, so why was Mu Peiyun still able to go to Mu Qingqing safely? Could it be that the disease broke out too late?

But how could she tell Mu Yunyu honestly? If he knew, he might throw her away. She went to find Mu Peiyun and tried her best to find her an antidote.

Is this the benefit of being a legitimate daughter? She will be offered the medicine herself, and Mu Peiyun has a group of people around her.

Thinking of this, Mu Peiyao's eyes revealed undisguised hatred, but fortunately she lowered her head so Mu Yunyu couldn't see it.

Mu Yunyu's eyebrows twitched. He obviously didn't expect that his carefully planned calculations would be ruined by such a simple accident.

It seems I have to find another opportunity.

"What about your sister?"

"Sister walked fast, so I guess she didn't notice Yaoer fell down." Mu Peiyao made up a few lies casually. Anyway, he wouldn't go to ask Mu Peiyun.

Hearing this, Mu Yunyu's brows relaxed. Fortunately, nothing was revealed, lest Mu Yunchen find out and go to his father and make irresponsible remarks.

When the two were being affectionate with each other, the voice of the guard was heard outside the door.

"Master, General Bai's birthday banquet has already begun."

"Got it." Mu Yunyu responded coldly, then turned to look at Mu Peiyao with eyes full of affection: "Yao'er, this prince has to go to the front hall first to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

What he meant was, I should go first and you follow me, so that people wouldn't see us walking together and cause a lot of speculation.

But as soon as he stood up, he was caught by Mu Peiyao. Mu Yunyu looked back in confusion and saw Mu Peiyao biting her lip pitifully and asked: "Brother Yu, aren't you going to wait for Yao'er?"

She was going to appear at the banquet with Mu Yunyu and in front of everyone, so as to tell everyone that being a concubine's daughter was okay, she was still highly regarded by the royal family.

But what Mu Peiyao didn't expect was that just because she was a concubine's daughter, others would speculate whether she had an affair with the fifth prince.

Mu Yunyu seemed to be shocked, but her sleeve was constantly pulled by Mu Peiyao. She also remembered that she had just been promised the position of concubine, so she had to grit her teeth and force out a few words.

"No... no, how could that be, I'll be waiting for you outside the door."

Mu Peiyao then let go of her hand with satisfaction, and looked at Mu Yunyu's back as he walked out, a huge sense of vanity surged in her heart.

Mu Yunyu walked out of the door, closed his eyes, took a deep breath of the cool air, and uttered a few words in a very soft voice - something that is unclear.

When Mu Peiyun followed Mu Qingqing to the banquet, she saw Lin Xi and Yu Xuejing from afar. They were waving at her to come over.

Mu Peiyun shook her head, gave an apologetic smile, then helped Mu Qingqing sit down.

He looked around naturally. Mu Peiyao hadn't come back yet? It seemed that Mu Yunyu's fighting ability was not weak.

The interlude in front blocked the seats for the men, so Mu Yunchen could not be seen, but his voice could be heard sporadically, and Mu Peiyun felt calm.

"Yun'er, didn't you say that Yao'er had already arrived at the banquet? How come mother didn't see her?" Mu Qingqing looked around but did not see Mu Peiyao.

"Mother, my second sister may have gone to wash her hands." Mu Peiyun didn't want to cover up for Mu Peiyao, but she didn't want her mother to pollute her ears with such a scandal, and she didn't want her mother to worry about this heartless person.

Her Royal Highness Princess Yongan has arrived!!

In an instant, the crowd became excited and everyone stood up to salute. Then their eyes were surprised by the thing being lifted up behind the eldest princess.

“This color is so pretty!”

"Yes, I have lived for so many years, but I have never seen coral this high."

"General Bai, I'm late. This is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you like it." Mu Yunxi said to Bai Shou with a generous but dignified smile.

Bai Shou had a headache again. Why did they like to tease him? But he never let go of his grin: "Thank you, Princess, for giving me such a good thing. I am ashamed."

But don't try to deceive him. He saw it when it was carried in just now. It was clearly a tribute from the Western Regions some time ago. The emperor liked it very much at that time. Now sending it to him, he must be trying to bribe him again.

"General Bai, there is no need to feel guilty. This is a gift from our father. You have devoted your life to our dynasty, so this is what you deserve. Just accept it."

"In that case, I will respectfully obey your command. Thank you, Princess. Also, I will personally go to the palace to thank the Emperor someday."

On this side, Bai Shou and Mu Yunxi, one receiving the gift and the other giving it, were both very happy, but on the other side...

Bai Yu frowned and looked at Mu Yunchen speechlessly. Her Royal Highness the Princess and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were both born to the Queen, so it was only for His Royal Highness the Princess to make such a big fuss for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

It goes without saying - what do you want to do?

Mu Yunchen had a faint smile on his face, and his dark jade eyes swept towards Bai Yu, but he didn't look back at him again.

Do you think that I specifically asked my father to recall you from the border to the capital so that you can come back to enjoy life?

"Royal sister." Seeing that the two had finished their pleasantries, Mu Yunchen walked straight towards Mu Yunxi.

"The prince arrived early." Mu Yunxi looked at Mu Yunchen with a smile. It was obvious that the big coral should have been sent by him, but he pretended to forget and ran away first.

Her tired father specially summoned her to the palace and brought red coral, which was why she arrived late.

Bai Shou saw that the atmosphere between the two was a little strange. Although he didn't know the reason, he still invited them to the upper level: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Princess, please take a seat first."

The two smiled at each other and walked in the direction Bai Shouyin was heading.

"Where's that little follower of yours that follows you around all day?"

Mu Yunchen smiled flamboyantly, raised his eyebrows and pointed to the side of Mu Yunxi: "Where is Yunxu?"

Mu Yunxu, who was waving to Mu Yunxi, suddenly froze. "Royal sister, how presumptuous of you!
