In early spring, the peach blossoms here are in full bloom, with pale pink petals clustered among the thin green leaves.

The breeze blew gently, blowing the surrounding peach trees, the branches swayed in the air, and along with the fragrance of flowers, countless petals scattered from the sky.

Some fell in the grass, some were scattered on the path, and some fell on their heads and shoulders.

"Don't move, there are petals here." Mu Qingyun carefully stroked her shoulder, where a petal happened to have fallen.

His hands were warm, and Yun Qingyue could feel the temperature from his body and her breathing tightened.

He took the petals and moved away, and she felt relieved but also a little disappointed.

Before she could react, the other person took her hand and said, "Qingyue, let's go over there and take a look."

Yun Qingyue looked in the direction he pointed, and there was a whole peach blossom forest.

The peach blossom forest stretched for dozens of miles. They strolled in the sea of ​​flowers, smelling the fragrance of peach blossoms, as if they were in a beautiful painting.

Before coming here, Mu Qingyun had already found out that there was a pavilion here. Considering that she was too tired from walking, she could take a short rest in the pavilion.

He glanced at her expression and felt that she looked a little tired, so he was about to ask her if she wanted to rest.

Yun Qingyue felt a gaze falling on her. She turned her head and looked at him, "Your Highness, what's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

She quickly touched her face, fearing that there was dirt on it.

Mu Qingyun saw her movements and chuckled: "Qingyue's face is nothing, I want to ask, do we want to go to the pavilion in front to rest."

Yun Qingyue looked forward and saw, as expected, a pavilion appeared in front of them. This pavilion seemed to be built specifically for people to rest.

"Okay." She nodded.

Like a magic trick, he took out a wooden box from somewhere.

He opened the box and took out water chestnut cake, candied fruit, pineapple cake, etc. and laid them out one by one.

Seeing his actions, Yun Qingyue felt warm in her heart. He was really thoughtful.

They had gone out early and hadn't had time to eat breakfast. Now the sun had been out for a long time and she did feel a little hungry.

Mu Qingyun poured a cup of black plum soup from the pot and handed it to her: "Here, drink some of this to warm your body."

Although the weather is good, it is still a bit cold in early spring.

Smelling the aroma of black plums, Yun Qingyue picked up the cup and took a sip. It tasted slightly sour, which was her favorite flavor.

"Thank you, Your Highness. These black plums taste very good." After she said that, she couldn't help but take another sip.

Seeing that she liked to drink, he smiled lazily and said in a hoarse voice, "As long as you like it."

He had sent someone to inquire before and knew that she liked Wumei, so he prepared all this for her specially. Seeing that she liked it, he felt better.

After returning from the peach blossom forest, Mu Qingyun hadn't even sat down when he saw the guards running over in a panic. "Your Highness, something's wrong."

Mu Qingyun frowned slightly, and his good mood was instantly ruined.

He paused for a moment and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

It turned out that during the time they left the temple and went to the peach blossom forest, something big happened.

Before dawn, Xu was awakened by a nightmare and quickly got up from the bed.

Thinking about what I had told my daughter before, I wonder if she has done it.

Worried, she went to Li Ruier's residence.

At this time, the maid was still asleep, so she asked someone to wake her up, "Where's Rui'er?"

The maid was frightened by Xu's fierce eyes and lost all her sleepiness. She hurriedly said, "The young lady is still sleeping."

Xu walked around the maid, opened Li Ruier's door, and found that the bed was empty. She touched the quilt and found it was already cold.

She was shocked. Where had Rui'er gone? Could she have gone to where Yun Qingyue lived?

No, the most important thing right now is to find her.

Surrounded by maids, she walked towards Yun Qingyue's residence as fast as the wind.

Halfway through, she saw a figure approaching not far away.

Looking closely, it turned out to be the little princess that Rui'er had mentioned. Behind her, there were two guards closely guarding her.

"I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess. May the little princess live a thousand years." Xu and all the maids knelt down together, not daring to breathe.

I heard from Ruier that this little princess is deeply loved by the emperor and is the lucky star of Nanzhao Kingdom.

Don't underestimate her because she is small. The prince of the royal family is not so easy to fool.

She had to be careful, otherwise it would be bad if she touched the other party's reverse scale.

Mu Nanyan yawned, lowered her eyes, looked at the people kneeling on the ground, and said in a lazy voice: "Get up."

She had just come out of bed and heard Xuanfeng say that Li Ruier's mother, Xu, was coming here.

She instantly perked up and got out of bed without saying a word.

Halfway through the journey, I met Xu who came hurriedly. In that case, I might as well join her and watch the fun.

I wonder if Mrs. Xu will collapse when she finds out about her daughter’s situation.

They should have considered the consequences before plotting to harm others.

With the help of her maid, Xu stood up tremblingly. "Little Princess, where are you going?"

Mu Nanyan glanced at her, as if to say, "Don't meddle in this princess's business."

But in order to continue watching the show, she still replied: "This princess will go find Sister Yun."

When Xu heard this, she was delighted. "If the princess doesn't mind, I will lead the way for you."

Without waiting for her answer, Xu walked in front. She wanted to find her daughter quickly before she could feel at ease.

After walking for half a minute, they finally arrived at Yun Qingyue's residence.

From inside came the roars and groans of men and women, sounds that made one blush.

Xu thought it was Yun Qingyue. She remembered their plan and led her men straight in.

"Ah..." A woman screamed, and there was chaos inside.

Li Ruier was awakened from her sleep when she saw someone breaking in. She looked at the man next to her in disbelief. It was Jiang Huai, whom she had only met once.

Now she completely broke down and burst into tears.

Seeing the messy bedding and the familiar face, Xu was shocked. How could it be Rui'er?

It should obviously be that bitch Yun Qingyue.

Now that Rui'er has become like this, she has no idea what to do.

"Why are you crying? Can't you let me sleep?" Jiang Huai glanced at Li Ruier and said nonchalantly.

Damn it! If he knew who hurt him, he would definitely cut that person into pieces.

He had to find a way to put the blame on this woman so that his cousin wouldn't blame him.

Having her body abused by a stranger and being furious at his attitude, Li Ruier looked at Jiang Huai who was sleeping, and was so angry that she rushed to him and punched and kicked him.

After just one kick, Jiang Huai grabbed her ankle and glared at Li Ruier: "Try kicking again."

Li Ruier was so angry that she didn't care about that. She just wanted to vent her dissatisfaction, "I'm going to fight you."
