Su Yanyan tidied himself up very quickly, and did not take long to finish tidying everything up.

The maidservants BaoCui and Yao Sanniang also prepared Chen Mu Mu's present as well as the carriage that was to enter the palace, before leaving for the palace.

The carriage slowly drove out of the Prime Minister's Residence area until the gates could no longer be seen. Chen Mu Mu regained his senses and asked: "You came out just like that, and didn't inform the Prime Minister Su?"

"Is that really necessary? It's not like he's at home." Su Yanyan replied casually, "Even if he was at home, he wouldn't normally meddle in my affairs. As long as he doesn't break the rules, I'll do whatever I want."

It was slightly different from the legends.

Chen Mu Mu Mu smiled as he replied, "Prime Minister has indeed shown mercy to you."

"I have no choice but to indulge it." Su Yanyan smiled mysteriously, "In any case, he has nothing to do with me, it's better if I don't see anything."

This father and daughter pair's interaction pattern was rather new.

However, if it was as the rumors said, Su Yanyan's true identity was Empress Dowager Tang's illegitimate daughter, then she would be a princess, her identity would be more noble than her subject's, moreover, there was a Empress Dowager Tang suppressing her, it was normal for Su Huguo to not be able to do it.

Thinking about that, his face did not reveal it, but since there was such a rumor, Su Yanyan should be clear about his identity, and did not know if she would care about it.

After all, the Empress Dowager Tang once abandoned her daughter in order to obtain her position.

Not many people could easily forgive the word "abandoned", even though the Empress Dowager Tang later gave him many ways to make up for his grievances and grievances.

"Look at your face, you're deep in thought. What are you thinking about?"

Just as she was muttering to herself, Su Yanyan poked her arm.

Chen Mu Mu Mu regained her senses, but didn't panic. She only smiled. "I was wondering if you could persuade the empress dowager to spare the Shangguan family."

Su Yanyan disagreed: "With me here, there definitely won't be a problem."

She had a face full of certainty and confidence. Afterwards, her eyes flashed as she looked at her with a smile, "Why do you have this question? Don't tell me you don't have any confidence in me?"

It was normal for them to have no confidence in her. After all, they had only known each other for a short period of time.

However, he naturally could not say that to Su Yanyan.

"I heard that the empress dowager wanted to punish the Shangguan family." Chen Mu Mu Mu took a moment to think it over. "The so-called 'monarch wants his subjects to die' because the empress dowager wants to deal with the Shangguan family. Can you do it yourself?"

The matter was not as she had expected. Originally, she thought that the Gold Silk Cloth's misunderstanding or Su Yanyan's displeasure with the Shangguan Family had caused the problem. Only yesterday did she learn that it was from Feng Lingxi that the empress dowager wanted to exterminate the Shangguan Family.

The misunderstanding could be resolved, and Su Yanyan felt uncomfortable. She could resolve it, but the empress dowager was displeased with the Shangguan Family and insisted on dealing with them … She told Su Yanyan to go and persuade the empress dowager, is that alright?

Although she was the empress dowager's daughter, if the empress dowager really wanted Su Yanyan to live a good life, how could she possibly want her to marry the empress dowager, forcing Su Yanyan to have no choice but to pretend to be sick?

Furthermore, the empress dowager probably did not know about Su Yanyan feigning sickness, if she did …

Maybe even Su Yanyan would suffer.

Su Yanyan muttered to himself for a bit, then patted her shoulders and said: "With me here, you can rest assured."

Could he really be at ease?

"Will the empress dowager let you go to the marriage alliance?" Chen Mu Mu Mu was slightly conflicted.

"In all likelihood." Su Yanyan spread out his hands, "Other than this, I don't have any other trump card to bargain with her."

As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Mu Mu, "If you're ashamed, why don't you marry her for me?"

Glimmers danced in Chen Mu's eyes as he silently nodded his head, "It's not impossible."

"Huh?" Su Yanyan was astonished, "I really didn't know that you have such an awareness, then who exactly is Shangguan Bai to make you sacrifice your own life's happiness for him?"

"Who said that my marriage alliance was a sacrifice?" Chen Mu pouted. "If I were to marry her, I'm not sure who will be the one to suffer."

She did not stand up for her country and people. If she was sacrificed for her family, she would definitely cause a ruckus in the Wanliu Kingdom and make Murong Yu beg her to leave while crying.

And then, "I'm just a commoner. How could it be my turn for the marriage alliance to happen?"

No matter what kind of temperament or body she had, all of them surpassed her. It was not like the country behind Murong Yu was blind, why did they need to marry a commoner like her?

A useless princess, there was no point in marrying her. If they were to start a war, wouldn't it be with no scruples at all?

The corner of Su Yanyan's mouth twitched, "Since you can even think of that, no wonder you have nothing to be afraid of."

"Thus, Princess, it's best if you accept your fate." Chen Mu Mu Mu replied, "If this is the case, I shall personally send you to the Ten Thousand Streams."

"You heartless fellow." Su Yanyan rolled his eyes at her, "I'm sacrificing my life for you."

"You slandered the Shangguan family, you owe them an explanation." Chen Mu Mu smiled. "You owe money, but you owe others for their innocence. Isn't that right?" Furthermore, you were supposed to be on the side of the marriage alliance, so it's impossible for paper to wrap around a fire. How many years can you pretend to be sick for? "

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Esteemed Empress Dowager is not stupid."

"Being able to hide it for a time is something that I can't hide. That Prince Wanliu Kingdom can't possibly stay in my Hundred Rivers for his entire life." Su Yanyan spread his hands and looked at her with a smile. "Don't quibble with me, you owe me one anyway."

"If I hadn't discovered that you were pretending to be sick, would you have agreed to help me wash away the Shangguan family's grievances?"

Su Yanyan's eyes flickered, he looked at her, and a strange look flashed past his eyes.

When Chen Mu Mu looked carefully, she was unable to see anything.

"Maybe not." Su Yanyan leaned on the carriage wall and said that after a long while.

Chen Mu saw that she seemed to be in a difficult position, and it was rare for her heart to soften as soon as she stepped into the palace.

"Shall I accompany you to see the Empress, and I will persuade her?"

Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu was confident in his eloquence.

It was just that Su Yanyan did not believe her, and rejected her without even thinking, "No way."

He was clearly helping out out out of goodwill, but yet he was rejected?

Chen Mu smiled and turned to look at her. "Are you sure?"

"Protecting little sister is the responsibility of being the boss." Su Yanyan glanced at her, "Unlike the imperial palace outside, where etiquette rules exist, the imperial palace is filled with people that you cannot afford to offend. For a girl like you, who is used to always causing trouble, it's fine if you end up like this, but if you were to go against the empress dowager, ten heads wouldn't even be enough for you to chop off."

"It's that serious?" Chen Mu Mu Mu acted surprised.

Su Yanyan nodded his head, his expression extremely solemn. "That old granny, the empress dowager, has a much weirder temperament than Old Man Su. She is temperamental, and when she says she wants to kill someone, it would be as easy as killing a chicken."

Chen Mu Mu was speechless.

Suddenly, he couldn't understand Su Yanyan at all.

To dare speak ill of the empress dowager behind her back, calling her father an old hag and calling her father an old man, did he have nothing to fear? Or did he just happen to reach the stage of rebellion?

Chen Mu Mu secretly thought that compared to herself, Su Yanyan's mouth was much easier to cause trouble for.

However, no matter how powerful a person was, it was not a problem for them to have a powerful backer.

Compared to a nobody like her.

Silently, he reached the place where he had to walk.

Su Yanyan brought Yao Sanniang and BaoCui out of the car. The eunuchs in front of them had long welcomed them and led them to see the empress dowager.

After passing through a few corridors, he arrived at a corner of the imperial flower garden and stopped in his tracks.

"Yao mama, wait here with Mu Mu for a moment. BaoCui and I will go see the empress dowager and then come out."

As a servant of the Prime Minister's Estate, Yao Sanniang didn't dare to defy her master's orders. She merely acknowledged him and pulled Chen Mu Mu Mu to stay on the spot.

After seeing Su Yanyan and his people leave, Yao Sanniang finally heaved a sigh of relief and exchanged a glance with Chen Mu.

Seeing Yao Sanniang like this, the corner of Chen Mu's mouth widened into a smile, "Su Yanyan couldn't have discovered your identity, right?"

"I won't." Yao Sanniang shook her head, "My appearance and voice are so different from before, even that old man Su Huguo can't recognize me. Su Yanyan is just a little girl, how could he recognize me?"

A child of a few years old, who could he recognize?

Chen Mu Mu felt helpless, "What I said was true, you and I have a relationship."

"Our relationship?" Yao Sanniang was silent for a moment before she looked up at her. "You're telling her that we know each other?"

"If I told her that you and I know each other, based on Su Yanyan's temperament, he would have driven you away long ago." Chen Mu replied.

However, this could only be temporary. He might be able to guess it in the future.

"Princess doesn't seem to mind, but she is actually very meticulous in her thoughts. Perhaps she already has her suspicions." Yao Sanniang narrowed her eyes, "Otherwise, she wouldn't have forcefully brought you into the palace and even intentionally put us together."

Perhaps, the people that Su Yanyan had arranged for would be watching them closely from not too far away.

"Then let's keep our distance." Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu replied seriously.

"There's no need." However, Yao Sanniang shook her head and paused, "Anyway, I won't be staying in the Prime Minister's Estate for long."

Was this the tempo to prepare for something big?

Chen Mu glanced at her. "You make it sound so easy. You're not staying in the Prime Minister's Estate anymore. Could it be that you're not staying by my side?" Or do you intend to hide your head and hide your tail for the rest of your life, never to appear before the public again? "

Yao Sanniang choked and said, "I will pay attention."

"That's more like it." "Since Yao Sanniang is willing to admit to her promise, she is her person. She naturally has to protect him," Don't be too hasty with everything, think carefully before proceeding. Su Huguo is not that easy to deal with.

Yao Sanniang nodded with a thoughtful expression.

The two of them stayed in place and waited for a long time. Su Yanyan and the others did not come back yet.

"I need to find a place to get rid of it." Chen Mu Mu's face turned red. "Third Madam, do you know where I can settle this?"

Yao Sanniang had an awkward expression on her face, "This is my first time in the palace, I don't know."

The Imperial Garden was so big, one could not see the end of it with a single glance. Who knew where they could resolve their needs?

"There's a watering palace maid over there. I'll go ask her." Yao Sanniang volunteered herself when she saw her anxiety.

Chen Mu Mu nodded. Due to a stomachache, she squatted on the ground and waited for Yao Sanniang to return.

However, even after waiting for a full ten minutes, Yao Sanniang still did not send any messages.

Chen Mu Mu Mu sensed that something was amiss. He stood up and looked in the direction where Yao Sanniang left in. However, in the vast sea of flowers, where did he see half a person?

Veins popped out on Chen Mu Mu's forehead, and he felt as though his entire body had gone weak.

"No way, at this time, you're deliberately making fun of me, are you?"
