Mu Ying and the others quickly mounted their horses and chased in the direction of the desert.

Xue Moyun had been brought along by Minhan Changyang and the others for an entire day and was currently resting at an inn.

Xue Moyun sat on the chair, rubbing his sore feet, frowning.

He bent down, wanting to show her to Xue Moyun. However, since Min Hanxiangru and the others were still standing at the side, Xue Moyun didn't give him any face, so he decided against it. Embarrassed, he pretended to pick up the chopsticks on the floor and sat up.

Xue Moyun rubbed his ankle, but kept looking around, trying to find an opportunity to escape. At this moment, he heard the sounds of horses galloping outside. He sat up straight in excitement and looked towards the door. However, one or two travelers came in, strangers to her.

Xue Moyun's intentions had long been seen through by Minhan Changyang, and he knew that she was full of anticipation for Mu Ying to come save her.

"Stop looking, he can't possibly come to save you. Who knows, he might have already forgotten about you. If he had you in his heart, he might have already arrived and would not have waited until today. " Minhan Changyang said somewhat jealous.

Xue Moyun glanced at Minhan Changyang and smiled somewhat disdainfully, not wanting to tell her more, but in his heart, he was still disappointed. "I wonder how Mu Ying and the rest are doing, whether he came to save himself, or if he found any clues he left behind on the way here."

So it turned out that ever since Xue Moyun left the camp, he had been thinking of leaving a trail behind for her. She knew that Mu Ying would definitely come to save her. Therefore, when they were rushing on their journey, every time they sat on a carriage, she would intentionally walk a distance. With the heavy leg, it was possible that they would hit the grass on the side of the road and make a special scene, letting Mu Ying know that they were on this road.

After dinner, everyone went to sleep, and Xue Moyun was brought back to his room to be locked up. She went to the window in disappointment and looked out at the bright moon. She was filled with emotion. There was no need for the West Cold in the Northern Frontier. There were dense forests everywhere. But these rows of strong poplar trees, but tell of other unknown vicissitudes. It was a quiet night. The wind blew through the western desert, and the camel's bell, which was being led by the travelers, rang out. It was a peaceful night.

Minhan Changyang was not far from the inn, under Hu Yang, her white robes was fluttering in the wind. He looked at the window on the second floor of the inn. The beautiful woman's beautiful voice was leaning against the window. He wondered what she was thinking and whether it had nothing to do with him. However, being able to look at her like this was already the happiest thing in his life.

Under the bright moonlight, Mu Ying and the others found a place filled with water grass and tied the horses under a tree. Looking at the sparks that sputtered out of the flames, Mu Ying remembered that above the flames, there was the matter of him roasting for Xue Moyun. The corners of his mouth raised, but his heart was filled with distress.

That day, he only thought that Xue Moyun might have left him, leave this world. As such, he was extremely afraid, but he wanted to give her a pleasant surprise, so he could make her happy.

At that time, he thought that if this matter passed by safely, he would be able to treat her better and cherish the time they spent together. Who would have thought that before everything was settled, waves would arise again and again. There were always so many unexpected things that tested the feelings between the two.

Mu Ying walked to the side of the water and looked at the bright moon reflected in the calm water. He thought about how the two of them had secretly expressed their feelings of love when they were in the camp. There are thousands of sorrows in my heart, but who will I tell? He took out his flute and began to play.

Since they had already won the war at the northern border, Mu Zheng did not want Mu Zhuoshi and Mu Ying to suffer there anymore.

Thinking that Mu Ying would be completely unscathed after obtaining victory in this battle, Xue Moyun would definitely be happy. As a result, Mu Zheng specially sent people to bring this good news to Princess Mansion, to let Xue Moyun hear it.

After hearing the news, Lan Zhi and the others fearfully accepted the good news in the name of their mistress' illness.

Only after seeing that the eunuch who delivered the message had left did he dare to heave a sigh of relief and become happy. ~ Who knows how long this sickness can be concealed, Lan Zhi was trembling with fear everyday, afraid that he would be found out.

However, now that the war had been won and the Prince and the rest were about to return, it meant that the Madam would be back soon. He wouldn't have to be afraid if he were to continue bearing the burden for a while longer.

Ever since the Emperor gave the order, the Empress had been looking forward to the stars and the moon, hoping that Mu Zhuoshi would return quickly.

"Empress, the imperial edict has just been passed down. There's still some time before the crown prince and the rest return." Leng Rumei advised.

"I know, but I can't help but wish for my son to come to my side. It feels like this life of his is getting slower and slower every day. " The Queen looked at Leng Rumei and sat down. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, "A few days ago, I heard that you and Consort Zheng were very close in the Imperial Garden."

The Queen observed Leng Rumei as she spoke.

"Esteemed Empress, you worry too much." Hearing this, Leng Rumei's face changed, and he immediately knelt down.

"That day, Consort Zheng purposely obstructed Chenqie in order to bribe her. Thus, she pretended to be intimate and tried to distance herself from you. Empress, you absolutely cannot fall into the trap of others." With just a few words, Leng Rumei was able to explain everything clearly.

The Queen looked at her for a while before her expression became relaxed. She stood up to help Leng Rumei up, "I was just casually asking, so why would I take little sister seriously? This little bitch wants to separate us, I'm afraid it's just wishful thinking. "

"Since she likes to use this tactic of estrangement, let's learn from her." Leng Rumei and the Queen looked at each other and laughed.

Some people were looking forward for the return of Mu Zhuoshi and the others, and naturally there were people who wished that he would never appear in the capital again.

After Mu Lingfeng sent out the imperial edict, he was so anxious that he couldn't wait to immediately destroy Mu Zhuoshi. He sent many people to rush to the northern border to personally eliminate Mu Zhuoshi, the thorn in his eyes. I heard that Mu Ying went out to look for him for a little soldier. Without his protection, she was even more adept at dealing with Mu Zhuoshi.

On the other side, the palace also needed to hurry up and wash up before Mu Zhuoshi could come over. Amongst all of them, Zheng Ziyi was not listening to them.

This time, Mu Lingfeng wanted to enter the palace again. After begging for a long time, they finally came together.

Because Mu Lingfeng wanted to go to the morning assembly first, he asked Xue Shaoli to go visit an old friend first. Fortunately, she had lived in the palace for a long time, so she had a clear understanding of the palace's environment.

"Then Third Prince, would you like to go to the imperial court? Chenqie will first pay a visit to the empress dowager. When I have time, I'll come visit other people and try to get in touch with them." Xue Shaoli said in a dignified manner. As he spoke, he walked in the direction of the Empress Dowager's chambers.

After Mu Lingfeng left, Xue Shaoli turned and headed back to his purple jade palace.

Leng Rumei paid his respects to the Queen, and saw an unfamiliar lady leading a servant walking towards the direction of the Purple Jade Palace. Leng Rumei had some suspicions in his heart, and pretended to walk past her unintentionally. He instantly recognized her as Mu Lingfeng's first wife, Xue Shaoli.

This Mu Lingfeng had a deep relationship with Zheng Ziyi, the empress and the others had long noticed it, but they had no evidence.

However, this woman had always been the most jealous of all. Mu Lingfeng had always claimed that his relationship with Xue Shaoli was closer than her relationship with Jin Jian, and furthermore, he had a close relationship with her. Furthermore, she had just entered the manor not too long ago, yet she was able to successfully become a madam so quickly. It was likely that she had some tricks up her sleeves. This Queen and the others just so happened to be using her to deal with Zheng Ziyi. As a result, he purposely released some information.

Very quickly, Xue Shaoli heard these obscenities. She had always hated Zheng Ziyi, and now, hearing that she had met the Third Prince multiple times privately, made Xue Shaoli even more furious.

"All of you should be careful. There's a purple jade palace up ahead. This imperial concubine is likely to be the lightest and easiest to sleep. If you were to disturb her, you'd inevitably get angry again." Leng Rumei instructed the servants.

"Yes, Empress."

Hearing their words, Xue Shaoli finally understood that the newly renovated palace was the Purple Jade Palace. He hadn't come here for a few years, but there were some changes in the name and decorations.

Xue Shaoli slowly stopped in her tracks. Waiting until Leng Rumei and the others had walked far away, she looked left and right before entering the Purple Jade Palace.

"Who?" He dares to barge into the Imperial Concubine's sleeping quarters. " The servant at the door quickly stopped Xue Shaoli.

"Oh, two eunuchs, please inform us and pass this to the Empress." Xue Shaoli took out a piece of emerald that Mu Lingfeng normally loved.

Seeing that she was dressed in an extraordinary manner, the eunuch did not dare to offend her and hurriedly went to spread the news.

Zheng Ziyi had just woken up and was drawing her eyebrows when she saw a eunuch present her with a jade. Zheng Ziyi recognized the jade in a glance, thinking that Mu Lingfeng had come to visit her, and was extremely happy, but recovered shortly after and said calmly: "Go, all of you may leave, without my order, no one is allowed to come in. Lv Luo, quickly invite him in. "

After Zheng Ziyi finished instructing, he quickly got up and tidied up his hat and applied some spice to his neck. In these few days, the Emperor's mental state was not good. This Mu Lingfeng, who was rarely seen by Zheng Ziyi, had long since become extremely thirsty, and wanted nothing more than for him to come for a private meeting.

Lv Luo was shocked when she saw Xue Shaoli, but she quickly called her in and closed the door, afraid that she would be discovered.

"You're here." When Zheng Ziyi heard the sound of footsteps, he happily went out to welcome them. However, he saw an angry Xue Shaoli walk in coldly.

"It's you?" What are you doing here? " Zheng Ziyi's expression immediately changed. The smile froze on his face, unable to fade away in time.

"What, the Empress seems very disappointed to see me." Xue Shaoli smelled the rich fragrance and sneered, then swaggered into the house and sat down.

"What are you doing here, get out." As the saying goes, seeing your love rival makes your eyes red. When Zheng Ziyi saw that Xue Shaoli had arrived, he was still this rude.
