The Legend of the Resourceful Princess

As the Peony City Lord spoke, Feng Qing and the rest came out of the horse carriage.

Qing Xun's gaze landed on Mu Ru Yue, who was getting off the carriage with a dark expression. However, when Mu Ru Yue raised her head, she had already returned to normal. He looked gentle and graceful.

Bai Yu came down with Mu Ru Yue. Qing Xun welcomed everyone into the City Lord's Mansion.

Mu Ru Yue and the rest were sitting in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion. Qing Xun bowed respectfully to Feng Qingqing and said, "Your Highness, I have been negligent today and almost made a huge mistake. If it wasn't for the Seventh Princess coming in time, even a thousand deaths would not have been enough to atone for the sins. "Please punish me, your majesty."

Qing Xun's attitude was sincere. From the looks of it, there was nothing wrong with it. Feng Qing's gaze fell on Qing Xun. He looked at him and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. If something were to happen to the Japanese palace today, the Mayor would probably be in the same boat.

How could I suspect someone who would take the risk with me? "

Feng Qing's attitude was rare for his to be so magnanimous.

When Qing Xun heard this, he said with an excited expression, "Thank you, Your Highness." After saying that, his gaze landed on Mu Ru Yue's side. He sighed and said, "I really didn't expect that the current heroine, the Seventh Princess, would actually live up to her name in Peony City. And she really does live up to her name."

Looking at Qing Xun's attitude, Mu Ru Yue felt even more disappointed. How could this person be Qing Xun, whom she knew? Thinking about this, Mu Ru Yue replied, "City Lord is too kind. The things that happened today were all thanks to Young Noble Bai Yu's help.

If it wasn't for Young Master Bai Yu, this wangfei might still be locked up in the dungeon. "

Mu Ru Yue asked coldly.

Bai Yu?

Qing Xun's gaze fell on Bai Yu, without being able to say whether he was happy or angry. Bai Yu smiled in embarrassment, "You are a noble, how can I let something happen to a noble? This is what it should be, what it should be. "

Although Bai Yu was respectful on the surface, he couldn't help but want to curse in his heart. This Seventh Princess was truly shameful! To speak of his matter at such a crucial moment, wasn't that just creating trouble for him?

Bai Yu only felt that when the City Lord gazed at him, it was with a sharp glint in his eye.

"If I remember correctly, you should be a descendant of the Bai Clan. It's really not bad for the Bai Clan to have a descendant like you. " Qing Xun said.

"Thank you, City Governor, for your praise." Bai Yu braced himself and said.

"Speak... I still have some things that I need to ask the City Lord. " Mu Ru Yue looked at the City Lord and asked calmly. When Qing Xun heard this, he said doubtfully, "If you have something to ask, then just ask. There is no need to be polite with me."

"Then I will be frank. This time, I was captured and placed in an underground cage. One of them seemed to be a slave trader. This Peony City... Could it be that you're very supportive of this? " Mu Ru Yue's tone was slightly serious.

As soon as she finished speaking, Qing Xun started laughing: "You must be joking, my Peony City is one of the 12 cities in the coming month, how can it do such a dishonorable thing? How could a human's life be playful?

There are many types of bandits in Peony City. If they were to form an organization, they would often engage in some shady business, and they would even form alliances with many aristocratic families. There are also nobles from outside the city who would buy and sell people, which makes my head hurt a lot, but I was unable to do anything about it.

"It is fortunate that they did not succeed. Otherwise, I, as the city lord of Peony City, would likely be blamed for this."

The City Lord of Peony City had a guilty expression as she spoke.

In terms of acting, this person's acting skills were way too good, right?

Mu Ru Yue thought to herself. If she hadn't seen the slave market earlier, she would've believed the Peony City Lord's words. In terms of acting, this person was as annoying as the Qing Xun she knew.

As Murong Yue thought this, her smile became even more harmless. "So that's how it is. Then this wangfei misunderstands the mayor. This wangfei doesn't like slavery. If the city lord were to make a move against these people, then this wangfei will definitely do everything in her power to help."

"Thank you, wangfei." Qing Xun was extremely grateful. A pair of beautiful eyes contained thoughts that ordinary people could not understand.

"Princess, do you want to stay in this mansion? I'll clean up the place for you now? " Qing Xun continued to ask. When Mu Ru Yue heard this, his gaze landed on Jun Ru, who was at the side. One must know that she still had an agreement with Jun Ru.

When Murong Yue's gaze looked over, Jun Ru lightly nodded his head, indicating that she should stay.

Mu Ru Yue replied, "That is naturally good." Mu Ru Yue looked over and saw Bai Yu looking like he was about to cry. Mu Ru Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she said to the mayor, "I see that this young master of the Bai family is really smart. The Japanese princess will be strolling around Peony City in the near future.

Mu Ru Yue wanted to borrow Bai Yu?

The mayor frowned as he looked at Bai Yu and thought about how his subordinate had reported the incident to him and also about how the great master Bai Yu had invited was nowhere to be found. He laughed and said, "It is only natural for Royal Concubine to say that. Bai Yu, you have to properly help the wangfei understand the matters of my Peony City.

If you neglect it, I want you to bear the consequences yourself. "

"Yes, your subordinate will definitely comply with your request." Bai Yu heaved a sigh of relief. Right now, he could be considered to have completely betrayed the City Lord. The City Lord would not let him off in the future.

After all … His identity was already sealed. He couldn't stay in Peony City any longer, or else he would be exposed sooner or later.

Bai Yu's face revealed a happy smile as he thought to himself. With his slightly plump face, he didn't seem to be annoying at all. "Princess, you'll have to give me some pointers next."

Mu Ru Yue didn't even bother to raise her gaze as she just nodded her head.

"City Governor, since there's nothing else, then I'll take my leave." When Jun Ruohuan saw that the time was about right, he asked to leave. When Qing Xun heard this, he looked at Jun Ruo and said, "Young Valley Master thinks highly of you.

"Also, thank you for all the trouble you've gone through today."

"As a member of the Jun Family, I should be doing this for you." After Jun Ruo finished speaking, he got up and left.

After Jun Ruo left, Qing Xun ordered some people to prepare Mu Ru Yue's residence. He then said to the crowd, "Your Highness, Seventh Princess, I still need to go deal with those bandits. Also …" We need to investigate the hostages who have just been released.

I'm afraid I won't be able to stay with the two of you for the next two days. Three days later, at the Peony Gathering, I will apologize to the two of you. "

"It's fine." The one who spoke was Feng Qing, he couldn't see through Qing Xun, so he didn't want to alert his. With Feng Qing's permission, Qing Xun left. Only Feng Qing, Mu Ru Yue, and Bai Yu were left in the hall.

Feng Qing's gaze only landed on Mu Ru Yue and he seemed to have something to say. Bai Yu's eyes looked at the scene and instantly became quick-witted, "Aiyah …" "Princess, my stomach hurts. I need to go relieve myself."

After saying that, he left as though he was escaping.

Only Feng Qing and Mu Ru Yue were left in the room.

"Are you hurt?" Feng Qing asked. His voice was very faint, and if one didn't listen carefully, they wouldn't even be able to hear his voice clearly. Hearing this, Murong Yue shook his head. "No. But Your Highness, why didn't you go to the Yellow Forest Temple like before and instead went to the west side of the river?"
