When Mu Yunyu woke up in the morning, his body was covered with bruises, and the bruises at the corners of his mouth were particularly noticeable.

But she just couldn't remember what happened last night. She only remembered that she wanted to take the opportunity to go to the prince's bridal chamber and have sex with Mu Peiyun.

But why did he wake up in his own house again? Where did the injuries on his body come from? Could it be that this was caused by Mu Peiyun? How could she be so strong?

Before he could figure it out, Mu Peiyao's voice came from outside the door.

"Is the prince awake?"

Yu Yi shook his head and stopped Mu Peiyao with an expressionless face.

This action made Mu Peiyao extremely angry. After all, she was still a concubine in this mansion.

If she gives birth to an imperial grandson someday, she might become more honored as a mother because of her son. However, there are always some servants in this mansion who don't listen to her, and the one in front of her is one of them.

"I want to go in and see the prince. If you dare to stop me again, or if you hurt the baby in my belly, you will be in trouble."

But after hearing this, Yuyi still stood motionless at the door.

Mu Peiyao was so angry that she supported her waist and prepared to rush in. Yu Yi didn't know what to do.

Just at this moment, Mu Yunyu's lazy and irritable voice came from the room: "Let her in."

Yu Yi then opened the door for Mu Peiyao and stood aside. Mu Peiyao snorted coldly, rolled his eyes at Yu Yi and walked straight in.

"Your Highness, you're awake. Yao'er is here to see you." As she said that, Mu Peiyao sat down beside the bed with her bulging belly and looked at Mu Yunyu with concern.

Mu Yunyu rubbed his brows. He had a severe headache after the hangover, and now he had to deal with Mu Peiyao early in the morning, which made his headache even worse.

But she had her own flesh and blood in her belly, so she didn't dare to get angry with her at all, let alone scold her.

"Yao'er, you have difficulty moving, so just rest in your room. There's no need to come and greet me." Mu Yunyu rubbed his eyes with his hand.

"Your Highness, Yao'er misses you - Oh! Your Highness, why is the corner of your mouth injured?" Mu Peiyao suddenly saw the bruise on Mu Yunyu's mouth and became worried.

Mu Yunyu reached out and held down Mu Peiyao's hand and said calmly: "It's okay, I drank too much last night, maybe I fell on the way back."

He had no idea where the injury came from, so he just made up an excuse to get away with it.

Mu Peiyao thought nothing was wrong and said, "Your Majesty, I have been bored in the mansion recently. The Crown Prince and my elder sister got married yesterday. Why didn't you bring Yao'er with you to the ceremony?"

In fact, Mu Peiyao was worried that Mu Yunyu would take this opportunity to hook up with girls from other ministers' families.

Although men and women have always sat at separate tables in public places, how did she and Mu Yunyu get along in the first place... As long as one is determined, what can the difference between men and women stop?

"I wasn't able to bring you along because I was worried that Yao'er was getting older and it would be inconvenient for her to go out and work." Mu Yunyu didn't bring her along because he was afraid that Mu Peiyao would ruin his plan.

Although the two have feelings for each other, they still have different dreams and ulterior motives.

After hearing the explanation and seeing that Mu Yunyu didn't seem guilty at all, she guessed that she was indeed overthinking it.

Mu Peiyao was relieved and said tenderly: "I knew that Brother Yu loves Yao'er the most. Yao'er will go downstairs to prepare breakfast for you."

Having said that, Mu Peiyao stood up with Xunzhu's help and walked out slowly.

Yu Yi did not enter the house until Mu Peiyao disappeared around the corner. When he met Mu Yunyu's eyes, he immediately knelt down and bowed.

"I have failed to do my job well, please punish me, Your Majesty. You asked me to wait for you outside the Prince's Mansion last night. I waited for a long time, but I didn't hear any movement in the Prince's Mansion. I went in to take a look, but I didn't see you in the Prince's bridal chamber.

Later, I searched for a long time around the Prince's Mansion before I found you in the alley of West Street. You seemed drunk at the time, so I took you directly back to the palace."

Mu Yunyu suddenly became very sleepy. He had clearly sent someone to find out last night that all of Mu Yunchen's guards had gone out to drink, and only a few maids and old women were guarding outside the bridal chamber.

This plan was foolproof, so did he succeed or not? And why was he in the alley of West Street? Was the injury on his body really caused by a fall? Did Mu Yunchen notice anything?

Mu Yunyu waved his hand and let Yu Yi leave, trying hard to recall what happened last night.

But after the hangover, Mu Yunyu couldn't remember what happened last night.

Prince's Mansion.

"Greetings to the Crown Princess." When Lu Li came back, he saw Mu Peiyun lying under a big tree in the yard to enjoy the cool air.

I don’t know whether Mu Yunchen did it on purpose or it was a coincidence.

The courtyard outside was similar to the Qingyu Pavilion where Mu Peiyun lived before she got married, with a big crooked tree. Mu Peiyun just happened to ask Sujiu to bring her a rocking chair.

It looked quite comfortable, but the person lying on it had a sad look on his face.

Hearing the voice, Mu Peiyun raised her eyes lazily: "Ah? Sister Lu, you are finally back. I am almost exhausted."

Lu Li smiled and walked closer, saying, "The Crown Princess is newly married, how can she be boring?"

Mu Peiyun sighed deeply. Newlyweds? She didn't look like a newlywed. She hadn't seen her husband for three days.

"Oh, Sister Lu, you don't understand. Yun'er is feeling miserable." Mu Peiyun's voice was drawn out, and she really sounded like a wronged young wife.

Lu Li just smiled faintly, without saying a word, but observing the surroundings calmly.

I actually met that person in this capital a few days ago——

"Why are you in the capital?!" Lu Li looked at the person in front of her in surprise, who brought her to Qingxiang Teahouse on the street.

The man frowned and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, what a woman who didn't like him.

"Sister Ali, what are you saying? How come you can stay in the capital, but I can't?"

Lu Li turned her head away and stopped looking at the man. She just sat down and took a sip of the tea on the table.

"Why are you in the capital?"

The man saw that the girl was a little angry, so he stopped teasing and sat aside, staring at Lu Li with his almond-shaped eyes.

"Of course someone invited me, otherwise do you think I would want to come to this capital city full of gossip?"

Seeing that Lu Li had no intention of paying any attention to him, the man felt a little embarrassed and pretended to cough twice.

After a while, he continued: "Don't you like the antidote for the poison I'm researching the most? I've prepared a great gift for you. Sister Ali can get busy now."

After saying that, knowing that Lu Li would not pay attention to him, he took out a bag from his pocket, put it on the table, then got up and left.

Lu Li looked at the teacup in front of her for a long time before she looked away and turned to look at the bag left by the man.

Without opening it, she knew that inside was her favorite crispy candy.

Thoughts come back together.

Lu Li kept filtering everything around him. Who on earth had he poisoned again? What kind of poison would it be this time?

But she had checked everyone around her and didn't see any symptoms of poisoning.
