"What are you shouting for? Do you want to call Daisy over so late at night?" Su Niang patted her shoulder.

Sujiu frowned, like a child who had done something wrong, and approached Mu Peiyun step by step.

"Miss, when I went to buy white sails for the street, I accidentally ran into the second young lady's maid Caili buying medicine in the medicine shop."

"I'm just buying medicine, why are you making such a fuss?" Su Niang breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, I thought about it. If I were sick, we would have a doctor in our house. Why would we bother going to the pharmacy?"

Mu Peiyun suddenly thought of something and nodded to signal Sujiu to continue.

"Later, after Caili left, I went to find the doctor at the pharmacy. At first, the doctor refused to tell me anything, but I gave him ten taels of silver before he told me.

The medicine Caili bought is... a pregnancy-maintaining medicine." Sujiu said, unable to believe it.

Not to mention Su Niang, who was standing beside him with his mouth wide open, as if he had heard some earth-shattering gossip.

"Why did you tell me such a big thing just now?" Mu Peiyun was also a little surprised. If she guessed correctly, Caili might have bought the medicine for Mu Peiyao, and Mu Peiyao was actually pregnant.

"I forgot."

Sujiu poked her finger. She originally wanted the young lady to reimburse her ten taels of silver, but now the young lady was angry.

"Look at you, how could you forget such a thing?" Su Niang complained, adding fuel to the fire.

"I didn't mean it either."

"Okay, you two go down first. Remember to keep an eye on Daisy, and don't tell anyone about this."

Mu Peiyun's mind was a little confused. She leaned her head against the window and looked at the moon hanging in the sky.

It is still semi-circular. When the moon is full, it should be her wedding night with Mu Yunchen.

Mu Yunchen, what are you doing now? Are you as worried as I am? Or, do you miss me a little?

East Palace.

As soon as Bi Qi entered the room, he saw two people playing chess with full concentration. Seeing his master looking so leisurely and contented, the Ninth Prince was afraid that he would lose again.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Bi Qi bowed to Mu Yunchen, but his eyes turned to Mu Yunxu who was scratching his head.

Mu Yunxu had already lost the entire afternoon and was in a bad mood, and now Bi Qi was right in the crossfire.

Feeling Bi Qi's gaze towards him, Mu Yunxu dropped the chess piece and looked at Bi Qi angrily and helplessly: "I say, Bi Qi, you really don't treat me as your own. What can't I listen to about my brother the Crown Prince?"

Bi Qi instantly retracted his gaze and moved his eyes to his own prince. He remembered that his prince had instructed that the Ninth Prince was still very young and should not be exposed to these power struggles too early.

Mu Yunchen looked at Mu Yunxu like this, his expression calm, and chuckled: "Go ahead, His Highness the Ninth Prince is right, don't treat him as an outsider."

Mu Yunxu stuck out his tongue, realized that his behavior was excessive, and looked away awkwardly.

Bi Qi sighed silently in his heart, and said with a folded hand: "Your Highness, I noticed that the Fifth Prince had recently had contact with the Chief Envoy of the Imperial Observatory and the Minister of Rites."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Yunxu asked wisely: "Brother Crown Prince, does Brother Five want to ruin your wedding with Princess Qingning?"

"He doesn't dare." Mu Yunchen looked calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

"Brother Fifth, don't you dare? Why do I feel that if he dares to instigate others to disobey the imperial order and refuse marriage, what else can he not dare to do?"

As soon as Mu Yunxu said this, he received Mu Yunchen's scrutinizing gaze, and Bi Qi on the side was also looking at him.

Mu Yunxu's face instantly turned awkward, and he didn't know what to do with his hands. He muttered, "I accidentally overheard you guys talking last time."

Seeing that Mu Yunchen didn't say anything, Mu Yunxu continued: "Brother, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I am already an adult, and I hope I can help you."

"I just said that the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory and the Minister of Rites dare not."

Yes, they really don't dare.

Ji Weixiu, the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory, said: "Fifth Prince, I have already shown the birth dates of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Qingning to the Emperor and the Empress. Now you are asking me to... Isn't it...

If the emperor blames me and takes it off the shelves, I will not be able to afford it even if I have several heads."

Minister of Rites Chen Cheng: "Fifth Prince, the emcee of this wedding will have to review every step of the process. Even if I have ten thousand guts, I dare not change it at will!"

Mu Yunyu was so angry that he flew into a rage as soon as he returned to the bedroom. He smashed several sets of tea sets and even tore the letter that Mu Peiyao had just handed to him on the table into pieces.

After listening to this, Mu Yunxu blinked his eyes curiously and asked, "Why? Brother, please give me some advice."

Mu Yunchen picked up Mu Yunxu's black piece and placed it in a place that Mu Yunxu had never thought of before. The situation on the chessboard suddenly became clear.

“Let’s not talk about the emperor’s health. The current situation in the court is unclear. They won’t be stupid enough to risk deceiving the emperor and offend the East Palace and the Prime Minister’s Mansion at the same time.

Mu Yunyu would have thought of this, he was just desperate and tried all possible means. "

Mu Yunxu listened with a frown on his face, his worried expression growing instead of diminishing. He picked up the military strategy paper placed aside, stood up and silently returned to the side hall.

That back view is so pitiful and lamentable!

Seeing this, Bi Qi couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, the Ninth Prince is so innocent, what if he is taken advantage of in the future?"

"He is simple, but not stupid." Mu Yunchen stood up, paused for a moment, and then continued: "People who are raised by me are naturally like me - extremely smart."

After saying that, he walked out of the hall with a swagger, leaving Bi Qi alone, disheveled in the wind.

After living a peaceful life for more than half a month, Mu Peiyun waited and waited but Mu Peiyao's next move did not come.

Mu Peiyun was doubting whether the information given by Su Jiu was accurate. Otherwise, she couldn't see that Mu Peiyao was worried at all. What if she couldn't hide her big belly?

If the news was inaccurate, she would definitely ask for the ten taels of silver she had paid for the wine back. Although she was not that short of money, her mother always taught her to be thrifty, which was a virtue, and she kept it in mind all the time.

But when Lin Xi came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to look for her at noon, Mu Peiyun realized how despicable Mu Peiyao's methods were.

All the trouble they cause is nothing more than destroying people's reputation, spreading rumors and causing trouble.

"You stay in your yard all day long, enjoying yourself leisurely. You don't hear anything about the rumors outside." Lin Xi complained to Mu Peiyun who was lying on the rocking chair as soon as he entered the door.

"Sister Xi is here, but why didn't the maid come to announce it?" Mu Peiyun was about to get up when she was held down by Lin Xi.

"No, you are now Princess Qingning, I should be the one to greet you."

"Sister Xi, do you tease me every time you meet me?" Mu Peiyun smiled faintly. She liked this kind of sincere and unpretentious friendship, regardless of their identities.

"No, I didn't. This time I brought you some interesting things." Lin Xi looked at Mu Peiyun mysteriously.
