The Proud Prince and the Arrogant Princess

The night gradually deepened, and the crescent moon in the sky emitted a silvery light. From time to time, the surrounding grass would be filled with the chirping of small insects. This kind of night was truly tranquil and comfortable.

However, to those who wholeheartedly wanted to discuss schemes and tricks, they were not in the mood to appreciate this beautiful scenery. They only felt that this little chirping bug was extremely annoying.

"Come on, take this incense out and walk around for a while to chase away these annoying bugs." Hu Jie ordered the maidservants as soon as he entered.

"Aiya, sister, this little courtyard is truly magnificent. The decorations and furnishings are many times better than mine." Wen Minjia said with a sour tone.

Before this, the affairs of the Prince's Mansion had always been handled by Hu Yanqian, and she still secretly gave herself quite a few benefits.

Many of the things that were bestowed upon the concubines were secretly chosen by her before she took out a few candidates. It seems like this Hu Jie isn't some kind of good person.

On the surface, the few concubines looked kind and amiable, but in reality, they all had their own ulterior motives. A few of his concubines had already suspected that Hu Gangjin had stolen the treasures. However, they had no evidence against him. Now it seemed that the results were as expected.

Hu Jie had already understood the meaning behind her words and quickly explained, "I took care of these myself. My mother took pity on me and feared that I would come over and suffer. "Although the prince has never treated me badly, he still frequently thanks me for my expenses."

Although they didn't believe it at all, since it was a normal situation, Wen Mingjia would have already fought and questioned them. But now that they had a common enemy, these matters could be dealt with after Xue Ruoyun was dealt with. Therefore, no one said anything and just sat down.

"Qing Xue, serve good tea." Hu Jie ordered, deliberately emphasizing the word "good tea".

Other people thought that this was a form of welcome and respect, but only Qing Xue understood that this was a hint. She had heard the words of the madams just now, and now they were speaking the truth, telling her not to bring out the usual tea leaves.

This year, the prince gave a total of several pounds of pre-dawn dragon well, Hu Jie himself left them, and only took out two pounds to share. He also said that he did not drink, did not fight with them over it, and told each of them to share more.

If this was discovered, then they would be in a frenzy.

Qing Xue understood what he meant and intentionally brought out some bad Jade Spring for everyone to see.

Hu Jie took a sip of tea and then said, "There aren't many people left now. Let's have a good talk about how to stir up the relationship between that woman and the Prince, and let the Prince see her true appearance."

Luo Qianzi looked at the delicate teacup in her hand. However, she did not like the taste of the tea. Hearing Hu's words, he put down the teacup, supported his chin with his hand, and seemed to be deep in thought.

Wen Minjia didn't have any good ideas at the moment. She was also fiddling with the white jade bracelet in her hand.

"Madam …" Can I not participate? " At this time, the Fifth Madam mumbled to herself for a long time and said timidly.

Fifth Madam was a timid person. Although her heart was sour from seeing that the Prince doted on Xue Ruoyun so much today, she could only add oil to the fire while others were talking. Now that they had really started the fight, she was afraid.

Although he hated Xue Ruyun in his heart, if he were to be discovered, it was impossible for the prince to only punish the several people who led the group. Everyone else would be included in this.

As a result, when she arrived at Hu Diechang's courtyard, she suddenly regretted her decision. Thus, she had been conflicted for a long time before finally being able to voice out her true thoughts.

A sharp gaze flashed. Fifth Wife's scalp tingled from the stare. Needless to say, it was definitely Hu Jie's.

Hu Jie said with a bit of resentment: "Don't tell me that you want to see the Prince pampering that woman all the time? Just from today's incident, it was obvious that the Prince was extremely protective of that woman. If we don't act now, you can forget about staying properly in the Duke's Mansion. "

"I …" This humble one shall accept it. " Fifth Madam was so frightened that her face turned pale and she hurriedly replied.

Actually, it didn't matter whether the Fifth Wife and the other concubines participated or not, but Hu Jie insisted on dragging them into the water. The first was to cheer himself on. The three of them were like tigers, increasing his credibility. Secondly, they wanted their prince to find out when it was time. If they didn't punish the people, they would escape a calamity. If they couldn't, they would directly blame it on them.

Luo Qianzi frowned slightly and tapped the wooden table with her other hand. She didn't seem to care about Hu Jie and Fifth Wife's little episode at all.

Suddenly, she stood up. The corner of her blue dress was wrinkled, but she didn't pay much attention to it. Her almond eyes were shining as she said to Hu Jie: "Second Madam, I've thought of a good idea."

"Oh? "Tell me about it." Hu Jie asked after hearing that Luo Qianzi had come up with an idea. She put down her teacup with a smile on her face.

"Can you find the jade pendant that a man wore on his person?"

"Of course." Hu Jie immediately agreed.

"Find a man's letter." Luo Qianzi said to Wen Mingjia. Luo Qianzi purposely commanded him to do so. This was because everyone had to have a share in the task to do it. Otherwise, everyone would have to identify her.

"What do you want these things for?" Wen Minjia asked in disdain.

"This is what I plan to do, find the jade pendant and write a letter, after everything is ready, I will trouble First Wife with my plans." I plan to find the jade pendant and write a letter, after everything is prepared, I will trouble First Wife with my plans.

"After all of this is done, First Wife, you can make up a reason and search the room in great fanfare. You can find the 'evidence' that Xue Luoyun and that wild man are colluding with each other." If we have all the witness and evidence, then this prince will know that this Xue Luoyun is a woman with a weak personality, and that he would have to bear all of her favors for nothing … "

At this point, Luo Qianzi stopped and revealed a smile. Her eyes were filled with determination.

"Wonderful, little sister's technique is truly perfect." Wen Minjia had only just finished listening to what Luo Qianzi had to say when she couldn't help but praise her.

After hearing this, Hu Jie pondered for a while, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there might be some flaws in it. After thinking for a while, he thought it was still not bad, and then smiled: "Sister, this method is really good. We have been loyal to the king for so many years, and have always been pure and clean.

Hearing Hu Yanqian say this, everyone smiled with evil intentions, as if they had already seen the scene of the prince pampering them.

Hearing such sinister thoughts, Fifth Wife's heart was filled with fear. Was this not framing? She didn't dare to do so.

"Fifth Madam, what do you think about this method? Do you need to add on something?" Hu Jie raised his voice and asked.

"Ah... "No, no." The Fifth Madam trembled in fear and quickly waved her hands.

"That's great, hee hee." Hu Jie covered his mouth and laughed. When the Fifth Madam saw that everyone was laughing, she also smiled coyly.

"Then I'll have to trouble the two sisters to prepare the items as soon as possible." After talking for a long time, Luo Qianzi was thirsty. Just as she was about to drink her tea, she smelled the fragrance and put it back.

Hu Jie nodded at Luo Qianzi.

After all the matters were discussed, Hu Tangjian waved his servant girl to serve some pastries. The few of them stood in the courtyard and imagined their lives after their scheme succeeded.

Today, the Mu Clan had won the morning assembly, so there was nothing else for them to do. It was a leisurely day for them. Just as he was thinking of returning to the palace, the empress dowager sent someone to tell him to go eat some snacks.

Mu Sheng knew in his heart that the empress dowager was definitely going to scold Xue Ruyun for being terrible and wasn't willing to go, but he still couldn't decline.

Sure enough, as soon as she arrived, she saw that the empress dowager's eyes were slightly red from tears, as if she was grieving.

"What happened to the Queen Mother?" Mu Sheng's heart tightened as he hurried forward to ask worriedly.

"My son... Forget it, it's fine. " When the Queen Mother saw Mu Sheng, she seemed to choke a bit. She forced herself to calm down and blinked into the distance. Only then did she calm down. Her nose was still sore.

"What's wrong, Imperial Mother?" Mu Ying asked again.

Seeing that the empress dowager didn't reply, Mu Sheng was even more worried. He then asked Senior Servant Gui, "Senior Servant Gui, what's wrong with Imperial Mother? Why is she so haggard?"

"Sigh," Senior Servant Gui sighed. "The empress dowager received a message last night saying that it was Princess Changle. She went there last night." Senior Servant Gui said sorrowfully.

Speaking of Princess Changle, because she had wholeheartedly admired Mu Ying, she had framed Xue Ruyun at every turn. Afterwards, the Emperor had punished her so that she could no longer enter the palace. Then, relying on the Empress Dowager's favor, she repeatedly violated the Holy Will and came in to play. In a fit of anger, Mu Zheng had demoted her to a civilian who could never enter the palace.

She was demoted to a civilian, but still infatuated with Mu Sheng, swearing that he would never marry her in this life. As a result, after hearing about Mu Sheng's grand wedding, she had been depressed and had wanted to break into the palace a few times to ask the empress dowager for permission to marry her.

When he was stopped by the guards, he knew that he would never have another chance in his life. He became depressed and eventually died.

When Mu Ying heard that Princess Changle had died, although he was surprised, he didn't feel anything. Eternal Joy was arrogant and despotic, he was already used to being willful and reckless. Mu Sheng and Mu Zheng had long since been extremely disgusted by him. It was just that the Empress Dowager liked it and couldn't be bothered to care. Later on, she actually dared to incite the empress and wanted to harm Xue Ruoyun. Mu Sheng had already wanted to kill her.

It was a good thing to hear that she was dead.

But the empress dowager had always pampered her since she was young, and she treated her like her own daughter. Hearing the news of her death made her heart hurt.

Mu Sheng comforted the empress dowager for a while before she recovered, no longer feeling so heartbroken.

"Speaking of which, it's this Xue Muyun's fault. If it wasn't for her, your royal brother wouldn't have kicked Chang Le out of the palace. As the empress dowager thought of this, she began to complain to Xue Muyun.

Hearing her say this, Mu Ying's face became displeased. At that time, only Mu Zhuoyun had been framed; how could she be blamed for that?

Mu Rong Zhan wanted to help Xue Ruoyun distinguish who it was, but seeing the empress dowager's appearance, he couldn't bear it any longer.

"Actually, Chang Le is a good child. It doesn't matter even if you marry her. I think she's much better than Xue Luoyun." Her Majesty continued.

"Mufei, Muyun is currently my wangfei. I love her a lot, and she and I are husband and wife who have experienced life and death together. I hope you do not hold prejudice against her."

In the end, Mu Sheng still couldn't help but speak up for Xue Luoyun.
