"Okay, then mother will go and get ready first." Mu Qingqing stood up and told Su Niang and Su Jiu, "You two, help the young lady with her makeup."

When he dragged Mu Jin to the door, he turned back and shouted to Lu Li: "Lu Li, come with me."

"Yes, ma'am." Lu Li trotted out after saying that.

"Lu Li, tell me the truth, what is the poison in Yun'er's body like?" Mu Qingqing still felt that Mu Peiyun was very abnormal and asked worriedly.

"Madam, rest assured. The poison in the princess' body has indeed been completely removed."

"Given Yun'er's current condition, would it be too tiring to go to Huguo Temple?"

It takes two hours to travel from the Prime Minister's Mansion to the Huguo Temple, and part of the way up requires getting out of the sedan chair and walking up. Mu Qingqing was worried that her daughter was not in good health and could not endure such hardship.

"It would be good to let the princess go out more often and breathe some fresh air." Lu Li nodded respectfully and replied.

"Okay, master, if you have nothing to do, come with us mother and daughter to worship." Mu Qingqing turned her head and said to Mu Jin who was walking beside them.

"The palace just sent someone over, saying that the emperor summoned me to the imperial study to discuss matters. I'm afraid I can't accompany the madam and Yun'er." Mu Jin frowned, feeling worried.

"That thing again?"

Mu Jin and Mu Qingqing looked at each other, sighed, and nodded.

He didn't want to get involved in the struggle for imperial power, but someone always wanted to pull him in.

The Emperor summoned him to the Shangshufang several times and asked him indirectly whether he had any objection if his daughter was given to the Crown Prince as the Crown Princess.

What is his opinion? Can he express it?

There are undercurrents and unpredictable situations among the princes in the court now. Although everything seems calm on the surface, many ministers have already taken sides in private.

Mu Jin didn't want to get involved in the struggle for imperial power and become a victim of Huang Quan's fight, let alone let his daughter be involved.

So he could only give an ambiguous answer, but the emperor was unwilling to let him go.

"When?" Mu Qingqing was puzzled. How come she didn't know when the visitor came to the palace?

"When I came out to call Dr. Lu earlier."

"What? You were summoned at that time. Why are you still here now?" Mu Qingqing was a little anxious. Why did one or two of them make her worry?

"So what? My daughter is still ill, so it's understandable that she wants to come to the Royal Family later."

"How can that be possible? You should go quickly. Yun'er, I'm here. The Prime Minister's Mansion is already feared by people, so don't give them a chance to talk about you. It will also save the Censorate from having too much to do and looking for trouble all day long."

"Then I'll go, Madam. When you and Yun'er go out, remember to bring more guards."

Although the Huguo Temple is a royal temple, no one would dare to cause trouble under the emperor's feet, but the world is becoming more and more corrupt, and accidents may happen at any time.

Mu Peiyun was in a hurry to go to Huguo Temple and had no time to dress up. Sujiu had just put on the hairpin halfway when Mu Peiyun stopped her.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to burn incense and pray for peace, so it's better to keep the headwear simple."

"Yes, Miss." Su Jiu put down her hairpins and rings as ordered, but she felt that her young lady was a real beauty even without any makeup, and was very pretty.

"Sister, I heard from the servants that you were poisoned, and Yaoyao was worried sick."

As she spoke, a girl in a light pink dress ran in anxiously, holding up the hem of her skirt, with a thin layer of sweat on her brows.

Upon hearing this, Mu Peiyun couldn't help but sneer. It came so soon.

She slowly turned her head and looked at Mu Peiyao who was standing at the door and looking at her with a worried look on her face, and said, "Really? Then why doesn't Yaoyao go to the ancestral temple to pray for the safety of my eldest sister?

Instead, you waited until I was awake before coming here to stand out."

"Sister, what are you talking about? Yaoyao is so worried that she has been copying scriptures in her room. She will send them to the Huguo Temple for worship when she is free."

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Mu Peiyao always felt that the look Mu Peiyun gave her just now was not as friendly as before, but instead was filled with distance and disgust.

"Sister, you are wrong. I am not even 28 years old yet. How dare I ask the master of Huguo Temple to offer such a scripture? I am afraid I cannot bear it at my age."

Mu Peiyun couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "Isn't it you who poisoned me? And now you come here to pretend to be a good person, are you afraid that I will betray you?"

Mu Peiyao was startled, and hurried over to hold Mu Peiyun's clothes, saying aggrievedly: "Sister, Yaoyao doesn't know either. This medicine was originally found by the Fifth Prince in the Western Regions. It can beautify and preserve youth, so he sent it to you through Yaoyao."

As he spoke, Mu Peiyao's eyes suddenly became serious. He glanced at the door before turning his head and continuing, "I don't know where the Crown Prince got to know about this. He actually switched the medicine with poison, which caused Yaoyao to do something bad with good intentions."

"Really?" Mu Peiyun looked at Mu Peiyao with a smile. In her previous life, she was also so pitiful and made herself happy every day.

Now that I think about it, the two of them had probably planned all of this for a long time, just waiting for her to take the initiative to refuse the marriage.

Finally, she was punished by the royal family, and then the fifth prince stepped forward, and she became completely fascinated by the vicious man.

Mu Peiyun thought about it and felt that he must have been kicked in the head by a donkey in his previous life.

Even if we take a step back, Mu Yunchen, even if he didn't like me and didn't want to marry me, why would he, as the Crown Prince, use such means to deal with me?

Moreover, in his previous life, everyone in the city knew how good he was to her, but she was so cruel and blind that she missed the good person and ended up hurting him.

Mu Peiyun's fingers were tightly clenching her sleeves, her breathing became a little rapid. Looking at the pretentious and cute girl in front of her, she really wanted to strangle her to death.

But now is not the time. She wants to return everything they have done to them intact.

"Sister, although Yaoyao is innocent, it was Yaoyao's negligence that caused you to be poisoned. If you want to blame me, I will go to the ancestral temple and confess to the ancestors."

As he spoke, Mu Peiyao pulled at the corner of Mu Peiyun's clothes and pretended to kneel down.

It was not until her knees touched the hard floor that Mu Peiyao realized that Mu Peiyun did not hold her back today?

In the past, if she had shown weakness and apologized like this, Mu Peiyun would have been soft-hearted and would have helped her up and comforted her. What happened today?

"Then go ahead." Mu Peiyun followed Mu Peiyao's words as if he was watching a good show.

Mu Peiyao was stunned at first, then asked in disbelief: "Sister, what...what did you say?"
