It was still the same saying. If a sovereign wanted his subjects to die, then he had no choice but to do so. The evil monarchy could not tolerate even a tiny bit of resistance from its subjects.

Princess Qingxia was once again favored by the empress dowager. In the end, she was only a subject.

She still could not go against the will of the Empress Dowager.

It was just that the Princess Qingxia was only thirteen years old in the end. The capital was not the countryside, and a young girl in her prime was just a child in front of everyone.

This point was something that Chen Mu was well aware of.

In the countryside, she could be a bridal wife at the age of twelve, but in the capital, she was thirteen and, in other people's eyes, a child.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu Mu Mu asked.

"Who does the empress dowager want Su Yanyan to marry?"

As if she could read her thoughts, Yao Sanniang sighed softly, "Prince Of Ten Thousand Streams Murong Yu."

Pfft, Murong Yu!

Chen Mu Mu Mu almost choked on his own saliva.

The last time I saw Murong Yu, I didn't think he was a paedophile. Why is he forcing me to come?

Especially when it comes to marriage to a foreign prince, isn't that a treatment only befitting of a princess?

Chen Mu Mu's eyes flickered as he asked, "If you want to get married, shouldn't you want the princess to marry you?"

If he were to marry to a foreign country, he could marry his daughter as well, but his daughter was not as noble as the royal daughter …

What did the Prince Of Ten Thousand Streams think?

Although the Princess Qingxia is this subject's daughter, she's actually a real princess. Marrying to a foreign country since ancient times wouldn't even have a good ending, so why wouldn't the empress dowager want to marry her own daughter off?

Yao Sanniang shook her head and looked at her speechlessly, "Didn't you forget that the Royal Family doesn't have a princess that marries at a young age? You can only find a princess from the branch and official's house and marry her."

Hearing Yao Sanniang's words, Chen Mu suddenly recalled that the previous emperor's health wasn't too good. Even though there were three palaces and six courtyards, the survival rate of the princes and princesses he gave birth to was not high. Until now, there were only two princesses left standing on the ground with their eyes wide open.

The eighth princess had already gotten married last year, so they couldn't marry each other. As for Princess Mu Xu …

A girl that was only ten years old, who was even younger than Su Yanyan?

But even so, "Why must Su Yanyan do it?"

There were not many women in the royal family, but there were quite a few daughters of the clan and subjects. Why did they have to choose Su Yanyan, who was a minor girl, to be his wife?

It was simply incomprehensible.

Chen Mu Mu could roughly guess that there was a conspiracy behind it, but for a moment, he couldn't figure out the reason behind it.

Yao Sanniang shook her head, "I don't know. It's just that the empress dowager is determined to marry Princess Qingxia this time. If it was not because he had no other choice, Su Yanyan would not have come up with such a plan. "

Was she really just running away from marriage? Why did he choose the Gold Silk Cloth to send over?

If she continued to ask, Yao Sanniang might not be able to say anything.

She had only been at the Prime Minister's Estate for a few months, so she had yet to settle the differences between them.

Since he couldn't explain the reason for Su Yanyan's visit, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu changed the topic, "Tell me the purpose of your visit to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Me?" Yao Sanniang was stunned for a moment before she feigned ignorance, "What goal do I have?"

Chen Mu Mu didn't pursue the matter any further, but just smiled as he replied, "Yao Sanniang, the past five years you've spent here are all mine."

Yao Sanniang's face twitched. She pondered for a bit before gritting her teeth and saying, "Revenge."

"What enmity do you have with Su Huguo?" Even though Chen Mu could guess a little from Yao Sanniang's words, she still felt a little curious upon hearing her words.

This enmity was quite mysterious.

Upon being released from prison, the first person to come over was the Prime Minister Residence. They were clearly angry and furious at the Prime Minister Su, but they showed mercy to the young miss of the Su Family, Su Yanyan.

Yao Sanniang knitted her brows, as if she was recalling something from the past. She remained silent for a while, before a voice filled with incomparable hatred rang out.

"He killed my parents, robbed me of my innocence, ruined my reputation, and sent me to prison. Do you think this enmity is enough?"

It was said that there were two types of hatred in this world that could not be tolerated or resolved. The first was hatred for the murder of his father, and the second was hatred for stealing his wife.

Su Huguo was one of them, so this enmity was definitely deep enough.

However …

Snatching his innocence and sending him to prison?

Glimmers of light flickered in Chen Mu's eyes. He pondered for a long time before turning his head to look at Yao Sanniang.

"Are you saying that you were once a concubine of the Prime Minister's Estate?"

After all, Su Huguo's lecherous name was like a thunderclap to the ears. The group of beauties in the backyard were like flowers and jade as they flocked together, and with his position, it was impossible for him to directly become stronger than a pure girl.

Shame flashed across Yao Sanniang's face as she retorted angrily, "Don't spout nonsense. How could I possibly be that old scoundrel's concubine?!"

Even though she said that, her expression still betrayed her.

Chen Mu Mu curled his lips, directly rubbing salt into his wounds. "If he gave you this title, you would be his man. No matter how much you deny it, you won't be able to erase this past."

Yao Sanniang glared hatefully at him and said through gritted teeth, "I'm not his concubine. This old bastard, I can't wait to skin him alive and eat his flesh and blood. How can I sacrifice myself to be his concubine!"

Sometimes, however, explanation was just a cover.

However, seeing Yao Sanniang so agitated, Chen Mu Mu didn't continue to provoke her about her tolerance level and instead asked, "Since you have such a grudge with him, he should recognize your appearance. Aren't you afraid that the news will spread to his ears if you enter the Prime Minister's residence so carelessly?"

This was a question that she had neglected before. If Su Huguo had such a deep relationship with Yao Sanniang, and if Yao Sanniang hated him to the bones, no matter how big Su Huguo's heart was, he should still remember some of Yao Sanniang's looks.

Yao Sanniang had already been in the Prime Minister's Residence for several months, yet there wasn't even the slightest ripple in the water?

It was fine that the Prime Minister Su did not see her, but he was even sending her to Su Yanyan's side as if she was his servant?

Was the plot unreasonable, or did Su Huguo's brain spin?

Yao Sanniang's eyes sparkled. After a moment of hesitation, she weakly said, "Actually, fourteen years ago, I wasn't like this."

That made sense. Even though Yao Sanniang was out of jail and didn't have her fiendish look like she did when they first met, her appearance and facial features were still the same, even though her temperament had changed.

It was something ordinary to the point of not being able to find it when casually thrown onto the streets.

How could such an ordinary person make the first horse, Su Huguo, who had seen countless people adore her?

Eh, it's not that I can't swallow this appearance, is it that it's not worth it?

One must know that there was a blood feud between Yao Sanniang and Su Huguo at that time.

If Su Huguo had to spend so much effort to obtain an ordinary-looking girl, would it be Yao Sanniang who had some other bright spots on her body, or would Su Huguo have no choice but to eat them?

Although it was wrong to judge a person by his appearance, one could sometimes tell something from his appearance.

Chen Mu Mu Mu was a little curious, "Then what did you look like fourteen years ago?"

Was she a devastatingly beautiful woman who could make people lose their souls at the first sight of her?

"Also, how did you change your appearance?"

After staying in prison for a few years, she remembered that when she went to jail, Yao Sanniang was so poor that she sounded like she was going to die. How could she change her appearance with drugs?

Yao Sanniang rolled her eyes, not thinking to satisfy her curiosity. She turned her head away and said indifferently, "It's time to go back. The princess is about to be treated."

There were some words that couldn't be dug up if others didn't want to say them.

Chen Mu Mu didn't try to force the question, but upon hearing Yao Sanniang's words, the light in his eyes wavered.

"Didn't they say that the Canton Princess has fainted from fever and is ill?"

Of course it was a lie, she thought strangely. Since Su Yanyan was rumored to be in a coma, why did he still need to eat and rest?

It was just a moment ago that he was unable to process what was going on. However, now that he recalled it, he couldn't help but feel astonished.

"I woke up two days ago." Yao Sanniang smiled softly. Her eyes were dim, not knowing what she was thinking, "That child is afraid of pain. If he doesn't 'wake up' soon, he might become a hornet's nest."

Chen Mu Mu Mu had clearly seen that when Su Yanyan was mentioned, Yao Sanniang's entire body unconsciously felt a little warm.

Although Yao Sanniang had enmity with the Prime Minister Su, she had quite a good impression of Su Yanyan.

However, Su Yanyan was the daughter of the empress dowager, not Su Huguo's daughter.

Glimmers danced in Chen Mu's eyes as he nodded his head, "That's true. Those doctors specialize in acupuncture."

In the ancient times, there was only Chinese medicine, and acupuncture was a profound skill that almost every famous doctor knew about.

The human body had a total of seven hundred and twenty acupuncture points. On average, the doctors had three people with one needle, and each needle had an average of one hundred acupuncture points …

Chen Mu Mu trembled.

No wonder Su Yanyan was unwilling to pretend to be unconscious.

Yao Sanniang wanted to take the letter from Su Yanyan. After speaking for a while, she hurriedly walked back, Chen Mu was afraid that people would see through the trap she had with Yao Sanniang, as he disdained to go through the back door, and thus followed behind her from a distance, maintaining a distance.

Then... She lost it.

Chen Mu Mu was infuriated as he looked at the black-faced young man who hadn't let go of her leg after colliding with her. He then looked in the direction where Yao Sanniang's back had disappeared to, his face contorted a little.

She narrowed her eyes and let out a cold aura. "What did you just say? Say it again?"

"How can you be like this? You want to run away after injuring me, did your mother not teach you how to be responsible?!" The youth held her leg and spoke in a indignant tone, "You have to compensate me for my loss of one hundred silver taels!"

Chen Mu Mu Mu kicked forcefully, but he was unable to shake off the young man's strength. He was so infuriated that his face turned green.

"I don't have money, stop bullshitting here. It was clearly you who bumped into me!"

"Who saw it?" The youth snorted, "There's only the two of us here. If I said you hit me, you hit me!"

Oh wow, he's even showing off now!

"Seems like your face is quite thick!" Chen Mu Mu mocked before pinching the youth's chin and lifting it up. "I'll use my nails to poke, see if I can poke …"

The remaining words caught in his throat when he saw the youth's face that was so familiar that it was unfamiliar.

She raised her eyebrows and remained silent for a while before she asked, "Why are you here?"

It was actually Lu Jinfeng!
