"Chang Rong is fine, but Su Er …" "He's not young anymore. This year's delay is really not the same. Even my husband has gotten married. Only he is by himself." The "Feng'er" that Empress Dowager Wei spoke of was the youngest son of the Emperor Cheng, the Thirteenth Prince Dongfang Feng. He had just gotten married seventeen years ago.

"Chenqie understands, chenqie will slowly advise him otherwise. Actually, with Chang Rong Zong Ji's straightforward and lively personality, chenqie also likes him a lot. If she can become husband and wife with him, it would truly be a blessing for Su Er."

The Princess Pingyang still had a belly full of grievances. Upon hearing this, he immediately said coldly: "How does Chang Rong have the ability or ability to climb up to the King Rui?"

Empress Dowager Wei glanced at her, then said indifferently: "Alright, everything is already in the past, so don't always hold on to it. Whether or not we can be together will depend on their own fate."

When Empress Dowager Wei opened her mouth, no matter how much anger Princess Pingyang had, she could only swallow it down. However, she had already made up her mind that within this half a year, she would get rid of Shen Xi Jun's idea of marrying Dong Fang Su.

After the heavy rain passed, the summer heat had completely dissipated. Mu Qian Xue and Dong Fang Su walked side by side under the vermillion palace walls, a cool breeze blew past them and blew up their gray clothes.

Xia Yue who was walking behind looked at the clothes that were occasionally twisted together, and sighed to herself. If the person Princess chose was King Rui, then he would not have perished, and she would not be forced to shoulder the grudges of the entire country. It was a pity, if only … It can only be if.

"Cough, cough!" Mu Qian Xue coughed a few times, seeing that, she immediately stopped, and asked: What's wrong? "Still not feeling well?"

"My throat feels a bit uncomfortable, I'll be fine after I go back and drink some medicine." As he said that, Mu Qian Xue turned around to look at the long path that he had come from. From her appearance, it seemed that she was waiting for someone.

This was the first time Mu Qian Xue had entered the palace today, so there was no one who knew him in the palace.

"Let's go. We'll pass through this entrance. After a while, we'll arrive at the entrance. The carriage is waiting there."

Mu Qian Xue nodded and followed his footsteps. After walking a few steps, a sharp voice came from behind, "Prince, please halt!"

A hint of surprise flashed past Dong Fang Su's brows, this voice … Was it Huai En?

As he turned around, Huai En indeed brought a little eunuch with him and quickly walked towards them. When they got close, he swung his pincers and smiled as he bowed and greeted, "This old servant greets Prince, Princess."

"No need for formalities." Dong Fang Su sized up the face that always hung a smile on his face and said: "Why are you here today?"

"Reporting to Prince, this old servant follows Your Majesty's orders and invites Xuan Ji to the Chengde Hall." Although Huai En was heavily relied on by the emperors of the two dynasties, he had never doted upon anyone and gave birth to them. He had always been respectful towards others, and the reason why he was able to remain so pampered for dozens of years was because of his personality.

Huai En bowed and replied: "I'm returning to the Prince. The Your Majesty said that he has something to ask about the West Chu."

Dong Fang Su nodded, then said to Mu Qian Xue: "Let's go, I'll accompany you."

His words caused Huai En to reveal a difficult expression. After all, Emperor Zhou only wanted to pass it down to Mu Qian Xue, and was pondering about how to start the conversation, when Mu Qian Xue had already spoken first: "No need, I'll go over by myself. With this grandfather accompanying me, is Prince afraid that I'll get lost?"

"Of course not, it's just that your body is too weak. I'm afraid that if you walk too much, you will start coughing."

Mu Qian Xue laughed and said gently: "As long as you walk a little slower, everything will be fine. Prince does not need to worry."

Huai En took the opportunity to say: "This old servant will take good care of Princess, if I really feel uncomfortable, I'll call a sedan chair to carry Princess over. Otherwise, it'll also be convenient to call for the imperial physician, this Prince just needs to be at ease."

Seeing that the two of them had agreed, Dong Fang Su did not insist. Coincidentally, he still had some matters to take care of in the army, "Alright, I'll have Xia Yue stay behind to accompany you.

After left, Mu Qian Xue held Xia Yue's hand and followed him to Chengde Hall. Compared to the magnificent Ningshou Palace and the exquisite and refined Sedum, as one of the three halls of Zhaoming Palace, he seemed much more solemn and solemn, causing people to unconsciously feel a sense of reverence for him.

When he arrived at the white jade steps, Huai En stopped in his tracks, turned around, and said to Xia Yue: "Miss, please wait outside the hall."

"Yes." Xia Yue replied obediently, and stayed in place and watched as Mu Qian Xue climbed the smooth and hard stairs with him.

Huai En brought Mu Qian Xue to the west side of Chengde Hall, where Dong Fang Hui would review the memorials of all the officials. Most of the time in the day was spent.

Huai En bowed respectfully to the person seated at the table, "Your Majesty, Princess Xuan Ji has arrived."

After his words, Mu Qian Xue also knelt down in salute, "Qianxue pays her respects to Your Majesty.

"Rise." Just by standing there quietly, she was already as beautiful as a painting. The words' devastatingly beautiful 'could not be any more appropriate to use on her, as it was even more beautiful than the painting that was passed down in the past. If it wasn't for the fact that he was already married four years ago, he might have also gone to the Nanzhao to propose to her.

After suppressing his fear, Dong Fang Hui warmly said, "I heard that Princess's health is not good, sit down and speak."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Not long after he sat down, a female palace maid from Lv Yi brought a cup of fragrant tea over.

"About the Princess, I heard everything about it from Seventh Brother. It's really sad."

Mu Qian Xue lowered her head and said dejectedly: "It was Thousand Snow who was blind enough to lure wolves into her room, causing Nanzhao to meet with the calamity of a fallen nation or clan."

"Now that things have come to this, I hope that Princess can grieve." As he spoke, he continued, "There is one thing that I am unable to understand. I wonder if Princess can help me resolve this?"

Mu Qian Xue bowed from her chair, "Please speak, Your Majesty."

"As far as I know, Chu Di was originally only a prince that was not disrespected. But four years ago, he suddenly performed meritorious deeds and suppressed all the princes and princes. This led Emperor Qing to decide to make him Crown Prince. Do you know the details?"

"Has Your Majesty ever heard of the name Cao Bing Cheng?"

Dong Fang Hui thought for a moment, then said with a nod: "We've heard of him before, he's the Prime Minister of the West Chu, what about it?"

"This person looks impartial on the surface, but he has actually been secretly supporting Xiao Ruo Ao since long ago. Even going to the Nanzhao to ask for the right to ascend the throne was Cao Bing Cheng's strategy, which was to make use of the power of the Nanzhao to stand out amongst the princes; For Xiao Ruo Ao, Qianxue is just a stepping stone for him to ascend the throne, if he gets what he wants, she would naturally have no value in continuing to exist; rather, it would be better to take advantage of the fact that the Nanzhao wasn't on guard, and expand the West Chu. If the King Rui didn't risk his life to save him, the Mu family would have been annihilated by now." When she said till here, she suddenly stood up and bowed towards Dong Fang Hui, then said solemnly: "Thank you Your Majesty for sending an envoy to West Chu to rescue Qianxue.
