Hearing the word "orchid" reminded Su Muxi of the strange fragrance she had smelled on Ye Zerui before.

She had already stopped caring about it, but her intuition told her that she should go and check on the orchid.

Moreover, it was Qiao Xiuyuan who released this news, so it seems that the orchid must not only be special in itself, but also special to Ye Zerui.

On the way to Huguo Temple, Su Muxi sat in the carriage, listening to Zheng Yi's constant voices coming from outside the carriage, and felt extremely annoyed.

Bai Zhi whispered, "Your Highness, should I think of a way to shut him up?"

Su Muxi asked in confusion, "You have a way?"

Bai Zhi winked playfully, then said to Zheng Yi outside, "Young Master Zheng, I wonder if Princess Chang Le will go to Huguo Temple today? If she does, you mustn't help her bully my Princess!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yi's expression instantly turned extremely awkward.

He coughed lightly and said awkwardly, "Cough! How could that be?"

After a while, Su Muxi still hadn't heard Zheng Yi speak. She smiled at Bai Zhi and whispered, "Not bad! You're getting better and better!"

Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow smugly, "These are all things Miss Yan'er taught me. Miss Yan'er said that sometimes speaking gently is more effective than saying harsh words directly, especially when dealing with men..."

Bai Zhi then recounted the skills she had learned from Tang Yan over the past two days.

"Miss Yan'er said that her status made it inconvenient for her to stay by the Princess's side, so she asked me to protect the Princess more."

To be honest, I didn't like Miss Yan'er at first, but after getting to know her, I found that she's actually a very good person. At least she knows how to be grateful and always remembers the Princess's kindness to her!

Su Muxi nodded.

Although she has saved many people, there are few who bring her comfort.

Tang Yan is one of them.

However, Tang Yan always harbored resentment about her identity. After entering the Yong'an Prince's Mansion, she never left the house. She had tried to persuade her before, but Tang Yan only said that she was too lazy to go out.

But she knew that Tang Yan was afraid that if she went out, people would remember her previous identity, which would bring shame to the Yong'an Prince's Mansion.

Although Tang Yan has left the brothel, she still lives cautiously, which is heartbreaking.

Lost in thought, we arrived at Huguo Temple.

Huguo Temple already had many worshippers, but now, perhaps because of Ye Zerui's orchid, there were so many carriages that they completely blocked the main street in front of the temple.

"Your Highness, you may need to get down and walk a few steps. There are just too many carriages ahead, and it's impossible to walk through them."

Normally, Zheng Yi would have forcefully ordered his men to clear away the carriage in front of him.

But now, he thinks these carriages are a great block of traffic!

That way I can find a reason to walk alongside Miss Su!

Su Muxi was unaware of Zheng Yi's ulterior motives. After peeking out from the carriage, she got off with Bai Zhi's help.

Judging from the style of the carriages, the guests were all from wealthy families. The scene was even more extravagant than the literary gathering.

Although Su Muxi was wearing a veil, she still managed to attract everyone's attention.

Everyone knows that the face beneath the veil no longer has that ugly birthmark and has become absolutely beautiful.

Zheng Yi followed Su Muxi closely, acting extremely obsequious.

In his view, meeting Su Muxi today was an arrangement of fate. If he could leave an impression on Su Muxi, he might have the opportunity to get close to her.

After all, Prince Yong'an was stationed in the military camp, and Su Muxi was inevitably lonely living alone in an empty room.

Who knows, she might be even more outrageous than Bai Mengying when she gets wild!

However, just as Zheng Yi thought of Bai Mengying, Bai Mengying's voice rang out behind him.

"Young Master Zheng and Princess Yong'an certainly have refined tastes! Did they arrange to come here to admire the flowers together?"

Zheng Yi looked at Bai Mengying's ambiguous smile and felt a moment of embarrassment. "Um... I met Princess Yong'an by chance on the road."

Although Zheng Yi also believed that Bai Mengying was the one who killed the beggar outside the city and slandered Su Muxi, he did not distance himself from Bai Mengying because of this.

He simply liked Bai Mengying's taste.

So he chose to remain silent and pretend he knew nothing about it.

However, when he looked at Bai Mengying, he no longer had the genuine affection he had before; all that remained was physical desire.

Bai Mengying slowly stepped forward, walked up to Su Muxi, and said meaningfully, "So it was a chance encounter~~ I thought that Princess Consort Yong'an couldn't stand the loneliness after Prince Yong'an went to the military camp, so she went to find Young Master Zheng!"

Before she could finish speaking, Su Muxi gave her a solid slap across the face.

"Smack!"

Bai Mengying covered her face, looking completely incredulous.

"You hit me?!"

Su Muxi said coldly, "That's exactly what I'm going to do! If you're being honest, I'm your cousin-in-law. As your cousin-in-law, seeing you talking nonsense and tarnishing the royal family's reputation, it's only natural that I have to step in and remind you."

"Also, last time you didn't know the truth and yet you said on the street that I killed a beggar outside the city, I need to remind you of that too!"

"Medicine can be taken indiscriminately, but words cannot be spoken carelessly! Moreover, you are a princess personally appointed by the Emperor, and every word and action represents the face of the royal family!"

At this point, she lowered her voice and whispered, "If I were you, I wouldn't have gone out these days, otherwise, I really couldn't bear the embarrassment! What do you say?"

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes swept around the surroundings.

Ye Ziyu said that she could be a little willful.

Previously, due to her status, she could only endure Bai Mengying in every way.

But now, there's no need to endure it anymore.

At this time, the area was surrounded by onlookers, most of whom were powerful and influential figures from the capital.

Bai Mengying followed Su Muxi's gaze and looked around, noticing that everyone around her was casting mocking, disdainful, or contemptuous glances at her.

He clenched his teeth, feeling a stifling sense of bitterness he couldn't express.

Su Muxi really did have her guards kill more than a dozen innocent beggars, but why doesn't anyone believe her?

She may be called a viper, but Su Muxi is no different!

It's just because Su Muxi is too good at pretending!

She was determined to let everyone know Su Muxi's true colors!

Suddenly, a slightly familiar female voice came from afar.

“Princess Chang Le, how could someone as wicked as you dare to come to a place like a temple? Aren’t you afraid of being punished by Buddha?”

It's Qiao Zixi!

Although Qiao Zixi was wearing a veil to cover her ravaged face, her beautiful peach blossom eyes had lost their original luster, and were filled with malice and resentment.

The light pink dress she wore was loose and baggy.

I never expected that Qiao Zixi would lose so much weight in just a few days.

She was almost unrecognizable.

Many people no longer mention what happened at the original meeting.

But upon seeing Qiao Zixi, everyone remembered something again.

Yes.

Princess Chang Le was malicious; she not only harmed Qiao Ziming but also Qiao Zixi.

So Qiao Zixi came here to settle scores with Princess Chang Le?
