Jiang Yue thought for a while, and then said something that was quite sincere, "She did not do anything evil, but because of her noble birth and being doted upon by thousands of people since he was young, he developed a proud and domineering nature, and thought of himself as being superior to others, and did not put the common people in her eyes."

Xia Yue nodded, and wrinkled her nose: "Anyway, I don't like this Zongji, I hope we don't meet again in the future."

Jiang Yue laughed and said meaningfully: "I'm afraid that we'll have to deal with things again in the future."

Hearing this, Xia Yue frowned. They had only met Chang Rong Zong Ji unexpectedly, and the latter didn't even know their identity, so how did Jiang Yue know that they would have to deal with him in the future?

"Why?"

"Lady Xia Yue will know when the time comes." Jiang Yue laughed, she suddenly realised that when his slender eyebrows arched, it actually looked like a fox hiding deep in the mountains.

"This official has nothing to do, I was just strolling around. I didn't expect to meet Princess."

After holding back his doubts, Xia Yue casually said: "Don't you have to go to the imperial court?"

Without waiting for Jiang Yue to speak, Xu Li had already pulled on her sleeves and said softly: "Lord Jiang is a fourth grade official, unless the Emperor announces it, none of you have the qualifications to enter the Zhaoming Palace, let alone the imperial court."

Hearing that, how could Xia Yue not know that she had asked the wrong thing, but the words were already out of her mouth, and she was unable to retract them. She did not know how to reply, so she could only stand there laughing dryly.

Mu Qian Xue cast a sidelong glance at the Xia Yue whose face was filled with awkwardness, and said lightly: "Lord Jiang is wholeheartedly working for the people, our loyalty is commendable, Qianxue believes that we can repay this kindness in the future."

"I hope so." Jiang Yue replied dispiritedly, the matter from two years ago was like a bucket of cold water, watering down his ambitious heart. To him, the task of becoming a disciple of the Hong Dian Temple was just a waste of time.

How could Mu Qian Xue not see through his thoughts, but it was not the time to say anything, Jiang Yue glanced at the sky and said: "The time is not early, this official will send Princess back."

"No need." Mu Qian Xue rejected his good intentions with a shake of her head. After a few people passed by, she suddenly whispered: "In the next few days, don't go to Prince Rui's Palace and don't interact with him."

Jiang Yue looked at her in shock, "Why?"

"Although your words and King Rui's were the same when speaking to the Divine Emperor, with Emperor Zhou's thoughts, it would be difficult to hide it from you, or even … "I have guessed more things, so in the recent days, it's best that we don't interact as much as we can."

Jiang Yue's heart trembled, even though Mu Qian Xue's words were extremely enigmatic, he still understood a bit, and immediately said: "This official understands, thank you Princess for your advice."

Mu Qian Xue slightly nodded, and when they parted ways, she said in a voice that only they could hear, "As long as Lord Jiang doesn't change his mind, there might come a day when the clouds meet the sun."

Jiang Yue did not say anything, he only bowed deeply to Mu Qian Xue who was about to leave, he had seen Mu Qian Xue's ability before, if this woman said it, then she would not say it for no reason.

They followed Dong Fang Su to the large Miyagi, and from time to time, there would be guards patrolling the area. They were in high spirits as they bowed and saluted the two of them.

Mu Qian Xue counted silently. In a short three kilometers, she had already encountered five groups of patrolling guards, not to mention those who were in charge of guarding the palace gate.

Dong Fang Su pointed to a palace at the peak of the Wachet Mountain with Huang Liu Li and said, "Ningshou Palace is right in front of us."

"Yes." The Zhaoming Palace was extremely big, and from the entrance to here, it was almost four kilometers. Walking without rest all the way here, was truly a bit tiring. Even though she had stayed in Prince Rui's Palace for a few days, and even invited the imperial physician to treat her, it was ultimately difficult for her to completely remove the residual poison that had accumulated in her body for the past four years. The imperial physician also told her the truth, that she was already at a disadvantage, and even if she used up all the precious medicines in the world, she could at most recover to sixty to seventy percent of her original strength.

Dong Fang Su stopped, and said, "If you are tired, you should rest for a while, it is still early."

"Don't worry, let's go." Under Mu Qian Xue's insistence, the three of them stepped into Ningshou Palace under the greetings of the palace maid.

In the courtyard of Ningshou Palace, there were many flowers that appeared at the right time, such as peonies, rose flowers, roses, and many strange flowers and herbs that Xia Yue had never seen before. Under the morning light of the golden sun, the flowers were all gathered together, competing with each other in beauty, causing Xia Yue to be dazzled.

The most surprising thing was that a pond had been dug up from the left side of the courtyard. It was small and exquisite with white jade poles around it, and there were many different kinds of lotuses blooming in the pond.

"Visitors!" Guests, please come! " The high-pitched voice startled the few of them, and they subconsciously looked around, but they did not see any trace of palace maid. Just when they were curious, that voice sounded again, "There's someone coming! Guests, please come! "

This time, Dong Fang Su and the others could clearly see what was happening. There was a gold shelf under the eaves of the porch, on it rested a Rainbow Parrot, it dragged its equally gorgeous tail and jumped around the shelf, the gold chain on its feet released a sound, it was the sound of it just now.

"So it's actually you little thing. Truly …" Halfway through their conversation, Xia Yue suddenly stopped talking and looked suspiciously at the parrot who was drinking water. Strange, why did this parrot feel that it was a little familiar, it felt like she had seen it somewhere before.

Without waiting for Xia Yue to think about it, a round faced palace maid in a mint green silk blouse with autumn colored threads walked out. He was about 30 years old, had a few flowers of the same colour in his unflustered hair, and on the right side was a silver silk hairpin. His dressing was much more expensive than normal palace maids, so he must be someone from Empress Dowager Wei's side.

When the palace maid saw Dong Fang Su,he immediately welcomed him with a smile and said blissfully, "When the empress dowager was inside, she heard Miss Zhao send a parrot calling for this servant to take a look. He did not expect that there would be a guest, Prince, please come in!" As she spoke, she looked at Mu Qian Xue, who was standing at the side and dressed plainly yet still unable to conceal her devastatingly beautiful appearance, and a look of amazement flashed past her eyes. After all, she was someone who was by the empress dowager's side, so he quickly guessed Mu Qian Xue's identity.
