Mu Qinglan retreated again and again until he reached a rock and had nowhere to retreat.

Oh no, it looks like going out today is not a good day, Mu Qinglan thought.

If she had known this earlier, she would have agreed to let the Queen Mother send someone to escort her out.

People in the palace are so snobbish. When she was the Crown Princess, some people disliked her, but at least they didn't bully her.

And now, even the palace maids dared to intimidate her.

"What are you doing?" Suddenly, a gentle male voice sounded.

The maids paused.

Everyone looked at the person who came.

The visitor was none other than this year's top scholar, Pei Ruoxuan, who was said to be highly valued by Emperor Hui.

Mu Qinglan only saw a handsome man walking slowly towards her against the light.

He had a bright smile on his face, which made people feel good.

It was different from the feeling Mu Qingyun gave her.

When she felt the other person's gaze, her heart trembled, and then she looked away and lowered her head to the ground.

When Jin Fei saw the person coming, she glared at him fiercely.

She had seen him in the imperial study before. He was highly valued by the emperor and was someone she could not afford to offend.

Jin Fei frowned slightly, it seems that she has to let her go today.

"Sir, we didn't do anything. We just greeted Miss Mu."

Pei Ruoxuan did not expose Jin Fei's words.

He was summoned by Emperor Hui today and was about to return home when he encountered this scene.

It seems that someone is bullying the weak. Although he has no power, he cannot ignore it since he has encountered it.

The palace maid beside her saw Concubine Jin's attitude, guessed her thoughts, and let Mu Qinglan go.
