The Proud Prince and the Arrogant Princess

The cool moon lay in the bushes, waiting for an opportunity.

At this time, the wind was getting stronger and stronger. Suddenly, with a 'kacha' sound, thunder and lightning began to strike.

Leng Yue raised her head to look at Lightning and became happy. She came quickly to the window of the room. There were less guards here, but the window was tightly shut.

The cool moon looked at the sky and saw the lightning flash again. The cool moon took advantage of the thunderous roar to slap open the window, jump in, and quickly close the door.

His movements were quick, practiced, and completed in one go. No one had seen him.

Mu Zhuo had not been able to sleep soundly in the past few days. He lay on the bed with his eyes closed, resting his mind. Now that there was thunder, he was even more unable to sleep soundly. Just as he was about to get up, he saw a shadow flash by the window and break into the room.

Who was it? Mu Zhuoyun stood up and was about to scream when he saw the black shadow rush to the bedside, pressing Mu Zhuo Ji down on the bed and covering his mouth with its hand.

"Ugh …" "Oh … oh …" Mu Zhuzhe struggled as hard as he could to hit Leng Yue's body. Leng Yue pressed down on Mu Zhuozhi's body and quickly used one hand to pull away the cloth covering her face.

"Shh, it's me." Leng Yue said in a low voice.

Mu Zhuo took a closer look and realized it was the cold moon. At this moment, Leng Yue's face was very close. Mu Zhuoyun could smell the delicate fragrance coming from her body. He could feel her breath on his face, warm and moist. Her hair fell into Mu Zhuo's neck, itchy and numb.

A flash of lightning shone into the room. Mu Zhuoyun clearly saw her snow-white skin, slender eyelashes, and alluring silky lips. Mu Zhuo was a bit dazed when she saw this.

The people outside seemed to hear that something was amiss, as they shouted from outside the door, "Your Highness, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Mu Zhuoyun pushed the cold moon.

It was only now that Leng Yue realized that she was almost stuck with Mu Zhuoyun. She hurriedly got up in embarrassment with a flushed face. Fortunately, the room was dark. Otherwise, Mu Zhuzhe would have been able to see that Leng Yue's face was burning.

"What are you doing here, in the middle of the night?" Mu Zhuoyun put on a coat as he brought Leng Yue behind a screen in the inner room. He lit the lamp on the table, sat down, and asked.

He knew Leng Yue's personality. During this period of time they had been together, she had dealt with matters decisively, had thought too much about it, and was extremely intelligent. She must have a reason for coming to find him at this sharp end in the middle of the night.

"Something has happened." Leng Yue knew that time was of the essence, and staying a bit longer would only increase the danger, so she directly stated her purpose for coming here.

"What happened?" Mu Zhuoyun saw the serious expression on Leng Yue's face. It seemed that this matter was no small matter, so he became serious as well.

"Is it safe to talk here?" The cold moon looked around uneasily, worried that there might be something on the other side of the wall.

"This place is surrounded by my guards. They should still be safe, but …" Mu Zhuoyun hesitated for a moment, but he still could not be at ease. During this period of time, he had been studying hard every day, and the Emperor had been rather appreciative of him. This aroused Mu Lingfeng's jealousy. He placed his eyes everywhere, waiting to find out what was wrong with Mu Zhuo.

"Come, follow me." Mu Zhuo thought that this matter might be very important, so he blew out the candle, took Leng Yue's hand and walked towards the bed.

At first, the cool moon couldn't be seen clearly, but when her eyes got used to the darkness, she could clearly see that Mu Zhuoyun had taken her hand and led her to the bed.

Leng Yue's heart didn't feel too good, but she realized that he shouldn't be this way. It wasn't until Mu Zhuo pulled down the curtains that she tensed up. "What are you doing …"

"Shh, lower your voice." Mu Zhuo knew that she had misunderstood, so she shushed her somewhat embarrassedly.

The cool moon could only calm down and see what he would do next.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the curtains were put down, Mu Zhuoyun pressed the button. Instantly, the bed flipped over and the two of them fell down.

When Leng Yue opened her eyes, she discovered that they were still lying on the bed. It was just that the furnishings in the room were different.

"This is …" Leng Yue was puzzled.

"This is my secret chamber. All of it is soundproofed. Rest assured, you can speak here." Mu Zhuoyun sat down and said.

It turned out that Mu Zhuoyun was normally reading books, but in reality, he was actually discussing matters with his trusted aides in this secret chamber. It seemed that he was not as idle and weak as he appeared to be.

"Tell me, what happened?" Mu Zhuo asked.

"Look at this letter." Leng Yue took out the letter that Mu Ying had written.

Mu Zhuoyun took the letter. He suspiciously looked at Leng Yue before quickly opening the letter and reading it.

After reading the letter, Mu Zhuoyun was shocked, "It seems that the royal uncles are also in trouble outside." Mu Zhuo knew that Mu Ying was together with Xue Ruyun, and now that Mu Ying was in trouble, that Xue Ruyun was in danger as well. Mu Zhuoyun began to worry.

"That is not the point. Look, the letter states that the Prince told the Emperor about someone secretly training the troops to build the underground city. With the relationship between the Emperor and the Prince, how could the Emperor not believe him? Liu Yue pointed out.

"So you're saying that someone secretly intercepted Imperial Uncle's letter, which is why Royal Father didn't see the letter and didn't reply in any way?" Mu Zhuo was shocked.

"Exactly." Leng Yue said.

"Outside this palace, it has already become a line. This matter is not that simple!" Leng Yue's mind was clear, everything was clear to her, and she was not involved in this, so she could easily deduce what had happened.

"How dare he!" Mu Zhuoyun slammed his hand on the table.

"Who?" "You mean, the Third Prince?" Leng Yue was puzzled.

"Other than him, who else would be able to cover the sky with one hand and do such a huge thing?" Mu Zhuo knew Mu Lingfeng very well.

"Then what do we do now? This letter was sent by the prince not long ago. I wonder how the situation is on their side." The cold moon was worried.

That's right, Mu Zhuo was very worried about Xue Luoyun in his heart.

"Seems like we've prepared for so long. It's time to counterattack." Mu Zhuoyun clenched his fist.

"Ready?" Leng Yue still didn't know what Mu Zhuo and the others had done.

Mu Zhuoyun came in front of a painting and put it away, revealing the mechanism behind it. Angele took out several thin threads and inserted them into the cracks.

Mu Zhuo gently fluctuated a few times before returning to his seat.

"This is how I communicate with my trusted aides. I just notified them and came here tomorrow to discuss this matter. It's time for me to deal a blow to Mu Lingfeng, he has been very arrogant during this period of time." Mu Zhuoyun explained to Leng Yue.

"What are your plans?" After all, he was her elder sister. The two of them had a deep relationship, and she also wanted to help him.

"This will be known after they come to discuss it. Do you have any other matters? If you don't have a painting, go back early so that you don't get caught? " Mu Zhuoyun asked in concern.

"That won't do, I want to join in as well. I want to see what you can do, what I can do to save my sister." The cold moon closed its fan and sat down.

Mu Zhuoyun was about to say something when he suddenly heard a thunderous roar from outside. He could even hear the sound of thunder from inside. It could be seen how heavy the rain was outside. Mu Zhuo knew that it was not good to call Leng Yue to leave.

"Fine, I won't just chase you away. The battles in this palace have always been bloody, so I don't want you to get involved." Mu Zhuo said from the bottom of his heart. Actually, he was also tired of these days of open strife. But since he was born in the imperial clan, there was nothing he could do about it. If you don't fight, you can only die.

"Am I one of those cowards? I also do not want to be involved in any dispute, but if anyone dares to harm my friends and endanger the peace of this country, it is my duty to fight them to the end. " Leng Yue said with a righteous expression.

Seeing her like this, admiration rose in Mu Zhuo's heart. This cold moon heart for the nation and people, daring to do things, really have the blood, have the ambition of a heroine.

"Alright, there are people that can live down here. You can stay down there for now." We'll find a chance to leave tomorrow, after we've finished discussing matters. " Mu Zhuo arranged for him to arrive.

"Alright." Leng Yue smiled.

Xue Duan Sheng stayed in the courthouse every day, personally watching Gu Shenwei and Mu Ying. He was afraid that if something went wrong, even if he had ten heads, it wouldn't be enough to chop them off.

Looking at the unconscious Mu Ying, his heart was filled with grief. He thought that he would be able to solve the problem of the disappearance of the population, but unexpectedly, all three of his daughters were involved. Now, he didn't know whether they were alive or dead. He thought about how he had been so high up in the sky, how he had been able to summon the wind and rain, how he had fallen to such a state.

Every time he thought of this, he would regret it endlessly. If he had not done those heinous crimes and kept his feet on the ground, becoming an official with a clear conscience, he would not have ended up like today. It seemed like he was the one who had done the wrong thing. With a single wrong step, he lost the entire bet. Xue Duan Sheng shook his head.

"Old master, old master!" A constable hurriedly ran in.

"What are you doing!?" Lower your voice! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Disturb Your Highness, be careful of your head. " Xue Duan Sheng hurriedly walked out and berated in a low and furious voice.

"Yes, my lord, this little servant knows his wrongs." The constable knelt down.

"Speak, what is it?" Xue Duan Sheng lightly closed the door, then placed his hands behind his back as he asked this.

"Old master, we've found the second young mistress!" The constable said with a face full of joy.

"What!?" When Xue Duan Sheng heard this news, he nearly slipped and fell down the stairs.

"Old master, be careful." The constable reacted quickly and hurriedly supported Xue Duan Sheng.

"Quick, where is the Miss? Quick, bring me to her." Xue Duan Sheng said excitedly as he held the constable's shoulder with both of his hands.

"She's in her room right now. I'll take you there." The constable hurried to lead the way.

Xue Duan Sheng followed the constable and walked into Xue Shaoli's room. At this moment, there were a lot of people inside. Mrs Zhao was the first to call the doctor after hearing the news.

Xue Duan Sheng walked into the room and saw that the doctor had already finished checking his pulse and was writing a prescription. The maids followed Madame Zhao to carefully wipe Xue Shaoli's face.

Xue Duan Sheng walked over to the bedside and glanced at Xue Shaoli. He noticed that she was covered in blood, her face was covered in mud, and she was extremely haggard. It seemed that she must have suffered a lot.
