Xu Zhen's matter spread throughout the entire capital overnight. The Eastern Palace, which had gradually calmed down, was once again pushed into the limelight. The past was once again brought up.
It was just that this time, the people's opinions were different from the last time. Those who were originally dissatisfied with the Crown Prince's playfulness now felt that Xu Zhen was fickle.
When the Right Prime Minister heard about this, he personally came to visit the next morning. However, he did not see Xu Zhen. Instead, he saw the man who had an affair with her.
It was unknown if the man had yielded to the Crown Prince's authority and told him everything.
After that, they even found some obscene things in Xu Zhen's room. This time, even the Right Deputy could not protect her.
This matter quickly reached the Emperor's ears. After seeing all the evidence, the Emperor agreed to Mu Yunqi's demotion of the Crown Princess Consort. Thus, the position of the Crown Princess in the Eastern Palace was vacated.
The weather in early autumn was already a little cold. It was early in the morning, and the dew was still hanging on the treetops. A woman sat quietly in the dilapidated courtyard. She didn't know how long it had been since she washed up. His hair was unkempt.
When Mu Yunqi first saw her, he did not recognize her. He couldn't believe that the radiant, arrogant, and domineering Xu Zhen had turned into such a dejected appearance.
He sneered and stepped forward." Although I chased you here, I didn't treat you badly. After all, you're still Zuo Cheng's daughter. Why do you have to ruin yourself like this?"
Xu Zhen raised her head and her vicious gaze fell on Mu Yunqi.
"You planned all of this, didn't you?”As she spoke, she clenched her hands into fists, her long nails digging into her flesh." You wanted to marry Xu Ling 'er, so you deliberately set me up to have an affair with someone else.”
Mu Yunqi smiled smugly." Isn't it too late to realize it now?”As he spoke, he sized up the woman in front of him." Actually, I don't have any intention of deposing you." But you've repeatedly gone against bengong, so don't blame bengong for being ruthless.”
"Do you think Xu Ling 'er will marry you just because the Crown Princess is vacant?”
Mu Yunqi chuckled." Although she might not marry me, I know that if this position is not vacant, she will definitely not marry me.”
Xu Zhen snorted coldly." Back then, Ling Yunge was also used by you like this and was kicked away. I should have seen your true colors back then!”
Mu Yunqi's face darkened as he grabbed her neck and said fiercely,""Xu Zhen, I kept you alive because I didn't want to fall out with You Cheng. But if you don't want to live, bengong can fulfill your wish.”
Xu Zhen sneered," Mu Yunqi, you still want to obtain the chosen one with your current appearance? It's really a fantasy!"
Mu Yunqi's eyes narrowed slightly, and a dangerous aura emanated from his body. He sneered and let go of his hand. Then, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his hand.
"You better consider your situation. Now, everyone knows that you, Xu Zhen, are a slut. You Cheng is deeply grateful for BenGong's leniency and mercy in sparing your life. You're nothing but an abandoned pawn of BenGong.”Mu Yunqi spat and added,"Also, don't let me hear the name Ling Yunge again. You don't deserve to mention her."
Mu Yunqi said as he turned around and strode away.
In the dilapidated courtyard, Xu Zhen lowered her head and laughed foolishly…
After Mu Yunqi came out of the courtyard, he went straight to the Left Prime Minister's residence. Yesterday, he had made an appointment with Xu Ling 'er to pick up the book. He asked around about her preferences and chose two other books to bring along.
The sun had already climbed to the treetops. Xu Ling 'er sat in the courtyard and played the zither. Her slender fingers gently stroked the strings, and a melodious tune fell from between her fingers.
Mu Yunqi stretched out his hand to stop the attendant from reporting and quietly walked over alone.
After Xu Ling 'er finished her song, he clapped slowly.
"I didn't expect Ling 'er to play the zither so well.”
Xu Ling 'er hurriedly stood up and bowed." Why are you here so early, Your Highness?"”
"There haven't been many things in the court recently, so I woke up a little early.”Mu Yunqi sat on the other side as he spoke. He took out the books in his arms and pushed them in front of her." I don't know what you like to read, so I randomly picked two books for you. Do you like it?"
Xu Ling 'er glanced at it indifferently, and a trace of viciousness flashed across her face.
A few days ago, she had intentionally mentioned in her room that she wanted to read these two books. She did not expect Mu Yunqi to send them over today. It seemed that she had Mu Yunqi's spy by her side.
Xu Ling 'er thought to herself and pretended to be surprised."Thank you, Your Highness. Pei 'er, go get that book on my desk.”
Pei 'er responded and walked down.
"How has Your Highness been recently?"
Mu Yunqi smiled helplessly." Ling 'er, you're so smart. Do you think I'm doing well recently?”
Xu Ling 'er smiled gently." The most difficult thing to find in this world is someone who understands you. This time, the Crown Prince had also profited from this misfortune. In the future, he would be able to find someone who understood him. That would definitely be of help to the Crown Prince.”
Mu Yunqi's eyes immediately lit up. He suppressed the impulse in his heart and pretended to be worried.
"I didn't expect Zhen 'er to be like that either…"
"Your Highness, since things have come to this, it's best not to take it too seriously.”
Mu Yunqi let out a long sigh." Where's Ninth Brother? Bengong hasn't seen ninth brother for a few days.”
Xu Ling 'er smiled and turned around to see Pei' er taking the book. She took it and handed it to Mu Yunqi." Thank you for lending me the book, Your Highness."”
"Ling 'er, you don't have to be so polite with me.”
Xu Ling 'er lowered her eyes and smiled. Looking at Mu Yunqi's lustful expression, a chill slowly rose in her heart.
Today is the day you die.
Today, I will make you pay for the revenge of my Ling Family!
Mu Yun and Qi Qingmin took a sip of tea and smiled,"Ling 'er, have you been bored in the residence these days? I know a very interesting place in the suburbs of Beijing. Why don't we go and take a look together?”
Xu Ling 'er smiled and calmly poured a cup of tea.
She turned her head to look at the sky and calculated the time. It should be about time.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't need to attend the morning court today?”
"With such a thing happening in the residence, how could bengong still have the mood to go to the morning court?”Mu Yunqi paused for a moment as he looked at Xu Ling 'er." Ling' er, do you know? I will only tell you these words because in bengong's heart, you are the only one.”
"Is that so?"
"Ling Er, can you be my Crown Princess? Although I know this is a little abrupt. But I really like you. As long as you're willing to be my Crown Princess, I'll give you anything you like. I'll give it to you."
