Tang Mumu's brain seemed to suddenly explode, and the figure of Xue Li, whom he had met before, kept appearing in his mind.

Xue Li is Zhongli Mei.

Xie Yu had known his identity all along. The alliance between Xie Yu and Rong Yan, Xie Yu's intention to keep Xiaotian, and Xie Yu's attitude towards Linlang, all the things seemed to be connected by a thread.

Tang Mumu didn't dare to think deeply. Was there a more terrible conspiracy hidden in this? What was Linlang's current situation? What was Rong Yan and his second brother's current situation? Did they have any other backup plans?

Seeing the rare panic flash across Tang Mumu's face, Xie Yuan was very satisfied. He glanced at the sky and saw that it was almost time to light the lamps. Thinking that he would have to go to the palace to see his master soon, Xie Yuan didn't want to entangle with her anymore.

Anyway, her goal today has been achieved. Not only did she meet Tang Mumu, but she also brought her back to the Princess's Mansion. From now on, she will be under her nose and she will not be able to control what she does. Thinking of this, Xie Yuan felt in a good mood. She gave a few instructions to the man beside her and turned to leave the Princess's Mansion.

Tang Mumu glanced at the burly man who had been standing there motionless, wondering how likely it was that he would be able to knock him down and escape from the princess's mansion. After thinking it through, Tang Mumu decisively chose to stay in the princess's mansion. The probability of him winning in a fight with this big guy was almost zero.

He is such a big man, but his steps as he walked in were light and nimble. It seems that his internal strength should not be underestimated. If I fight with him, I am afraid that I may not be able to defeat him with one punch. Besides, Xie Yuan was so confident that he left him alone to watch over me, which means he was sure that I could not escape from his clutches.

After weighing the pros and cons, Tang Mumu gave up the thought of beating the big guy and escaping. Since he was here, he might as well make the best of it. The most important thing right now was to fill his stomach, and he could figure out what to do next.

"I'm hungry and want to eat. Send me back to my room and have someone prepare food for me. I can't eat without meat."

The big guy turned around and walked towards the corridor without saying a word. Tang Mumu followed him with her hands behind her back, and he took her back to the room.

Tang Mumu was quite satisfied with the room Xie Yuan arranged for her. This also showed that her attitude towards herself was contradictory. On the one hand, she thought that Xie Yuan had snatched her position in front of her master and wanted to get rid of her. On the other hand, she did not dare to act rashly because her master valued her.

Taking her away from the palace was probably just to give herself a warning. After all, it was easier to control someone if she was by her side. She would feel better if she could find some trouble for herself.

The servants from the princess's mansion brought food boxes and placed the dishes on the table one by one. Tang Mumu took a glance and found the food quite delicious. It seemed that the big guy had listened to her and thoughtfully prepared two servings of meat dishes.

The servants were only responsible for delivering the food and then leaving. Tang Mumu had just sat down when he remembered the big guy guarding outside. He stood up and walked towards him. The big guy really stood there like a piece of wood, allowing Tang Mumu to look him up and down.

"Really not moving?" Tang Mumu suddenly became interested. Since she couldn't beat him, she would just annoy him to death. As long as there was a little opportunity, she would take the opportunity to escape.

"What's your name, big guy?"

As expected, the man didn't say a word. Tang Mumu was not discouraged and continued, "Meeting is fate. How about we be friends?"

The big guy still didn't say a word. Tang Mumu was a little deflated. She wanted to annoy him to death with her mouth, but he just didn't respond at all.

"I can't eat that much by myself. It's already dinner time and no one is bringing you food. Why don't you come over and eat together? Let's celebrate our chance to meet each other today, okay?"

After waiting for a while, the other party still didn't respond. Tang Mumu curled her lips and had no interest in continuing to argue with him. She quickly walked back to the table and sat down. Filling her stomach was the most important thing in the world. Only after eating would she have the strength to continue arguing with the big guy.

The sunset dyed the sky with a layer of mysterious red gauze. There were only Rong Yan and Rong Lou in the huge palace. It was terrifyingly quiet. Rong Yan caught the pigeon that landed on his shoulder, took off the secret letter tied to the pigeon's leg, let the pigeon go, and then slowly unfolded the letter.

"What's the situation?" Rong Lou immediately leaned over to read the contents of the letter. He understood it roughly after just a glance. After reading it, Rong Yan put the secret letter in his palm, and the next moment the secret letter turned into flying ashes.

"According to the secret letter, Lord Song will arrive at Xiling in three days. Then we will start to act according to the plan."

Rong Lou was getting ready to take action. He had been locked up in this palace for the past few days and couldn't move around. He felt really suffocated. This secret letter finally brought back some useful information, which finally dispelled the anger that had accumulated over the past few days.

Rong Yan's face didn't look very good. The closer they got to Xiling, the more dangerous Song Jinyu and the others would be.

"The eldest princess of Xiling is back. She will be the biggest variable." Rong Yan said lightly, looking up at the red glow in the sky, with an indescribable emotion in his heart.

"Are you referring to the relationship between Xie Yuan and your princess? Are you afraid that the princess will find it difficult to accept after knowing that she and the princess are actually from the same school?"

They also learned about this today. This morning, the Xiling Tianji Pavilion branch sent back a secret letter stating that the Xiling Princess would return home today. It also revealed that Jiang Moqing was now in the palace and that he and the princess were actually master and disciple.

The moment Rong Yan received the secret letter, he was even a little at a loss. Jiang Moqing was involved in too many people and things, and he was afraid that it would be even more difficult for Tang Mumu to make a decision in the future.

Rong Lou patted Rong Yan's shoulder, as if to comfort and admonish, "Ayan, since the princess chose to enter Xiling with us, it means that the person she chose in her heart is you. You don't have to worry too much, but you still have to understand one thing. If things can't end well, you must make the right choice. Don't forget that my father's Imperial Guards are also in Xiling. Your every move will eventually reach my father's ears. Don't lose the big picture because of the small."

Although Rong Lou felt reluctant, he still had to say some things, "I know you and the princess have a deep relationship, but some things are doomed to be unavoidable. If the princess's existence really becomes a threat in the end..."

Rong Lou didn't dare to say the following words, nor could he bear to say them. He saw how panicked Tang Mumu was when Rong Yan was poisoned that night. He also knew that Tang Mumu regarded Rong Yan very seriously, so he just reminded Rong Yan. As for what choice he would make in the end, he really couldn't interfere too much.

Rong Yan's eyes suddenly became dark and cold. He didn't look at Rong Lou because he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and would fight with him.

"Brother, you'd better give up this idea. Mumu and I came to Xiling together, so we have to go back together. She is my princess and my most important family member. No matter what happens, I will protect her. No one can change this, not even my father. I respect you, brother, and I don't want to have any grudges with you in the end, so please don't say such things in the future."

Rong Lou was stunned for a moment. Although he knew that his younger brother was really moved, he did not expect that his brother, who was always distant to others, could say such words and even go against his father for a woman.

It can be imagined that he has been patient enough with himself. If someone else had said these words to him, he would probably have died by now.
