Su Mengyan did not continue to argue, but just told her, "It is impossible for Your Highness and I to be together."
"Who can predict what will happen in the future, right?" Yun Fu smiled so brightly that Su Mengyan couldn't think of any words to explain.
Although Cui Mixue didn't know how Concubine Bai had switched Yun Fu in the previous life, she guessed that she would most likely do it during the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.
When she told Situ Yao about this, she saw that his face didn't show any emotion, as if he had known about it for a long time. Cui Mixue asked curiously, "Your Highness, have you guessed it too?"
"You don't need to interfere in Yunfu's affairs." Situ Yao suddenly said.
Cui Mixue's expression changed, "Why?"
"I already know what Concubine Bai is going to do." The reason why Situ Yao said it so clearly was that he didn't want Cui Mixue to add unnecessary trouble and ruin the important matter.
However, Cui Mixue didn't want to give up. She pressed on, "How did Your Highness know what Noble Concubine Bai was going to do?"
Situ Yao lowered the corner of his lips and said unhappily, "That's not something you should ask."
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I have overstepped my bounds." Cui Mixue quickly apologized. She had wanted to use this opportunity to make Situ Yao look at her differently, but now she was not allowed to intervene.
Although she was unhappy in many ways, she did not dare to offend anyone and walked away with her head lowered.
Because Cui Mixue had been in and out of the study so often, she was familiar with the guards outside. So after leaving, she tactfully asked, "Your Highness seems to be in a bad mood today. Has anyone come to the study?"
"No one came today. Concubine Su went into the study yesterday." The guard said truthfully.
Hearing that it was Su Mengyan who ruined her good fortune, Cui Mixue gritted her teeth and said with a smile, "Really? It seems that Concubine Su did something to displease His Highness."
"I don't know." The guards didn't dare to say anything more.
Cui Mixue thanked him politely and left. She was sure that Situ Yao's sudden expulsion of her from the plan must have something to do with Su Mengyan.
This person clearly didn't exist in the previous life, so she was very confused as to why someone would appear to cause trouble now.
"Miss, you're back." Bi Wu saw that her face looked strange, so she told her, as if it were a joke, that Su Mengyan had fallen out of favor and was being ostracized by everyone in the East Palace.
There was still no smile on Cui Mixue's face, it looked cold.
After a while, he said very abruptly, "So that's how it is."
"What is it?" Biwu asked doubtfully.
Cui Mixue didn't bother to answer her and turned around and went into the house. She remembered why she had no impression of Su Mengyan in her previous life.
Because Su Mengyan was a spy sent by Concubine Bai to the Eastern Palace, she was afraid of being discovered, so she was usually cautious and rarely appeared. Later, her identity was exposed and she was killed by Situ Yao.
If she had told Situ Yao about Su Mengyan's true identity in advance, could she have gotten rid of this annoying stumbling block forever?
A fierce determination to win appeared in Cui Mixue's eyes.
Before it got dark, she found Situ Yao again.
Seeing him twice in one day, Situ Yao's handsome face was filled with impatience, "What are you doing here again?"
"I have something important to tell Your Highness." Cui Mixue looked at the people around him, hinting that he should drive everyone away.
Situ Yao didn't want to know what she was going to say at all, and had no intention of sending her away. "What do you want to say? Just say it."
"Your Highness." At this moment, Su Mengyan's voice came from far away, interrupting the words that Cui Mixue was about to say.
"What are you doing here?" Although Situ Yao didn't show it, one could hear the obvious unhappiness in his tone.
Tomorrow was the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and Su Mengyan had come to discuss plans with Situ Yao. Since he hadn't said anything before, she was anxious and had come running. Unexpectedly, she'd see Cui Mixue there. She took a few steps back, her expression calm, "I'm sorry to bother you," she said, turning to leave.
"Since Consort Su is here, why not stay?" Cui Mixue said with a smile, "Your Highness, what I want to say is also related to Consort Su."
"Then you stay for a while." Situ Yao said. Su Mengyan had no way to leave and could only sit in the pavilion.
The bright moonlight shone on the three of them, as if coating them with a layer of cold frost.
"Consort Su, I have a few questions for you, and I hope you can answer them truthfully." Cui Mixue saw her nonchalant look, and a calculation flashed in his eyes.
"You ask." Su Mengyan said in a relaxed manner.
Let's see how long you can laugh! Cui Mixue said in her heart. Then she asked the first question, "Selectwoman Su, do you still remember how you came to the Eastern Palace?"
Su Mengyan smiled and said, "Sorry, I forgot."
"Perhaps you can ask His Highness about this question. He should know."
Cui Mixue was trying to force Su Mengyan to reveal her identity, so she wouldn't actually ask Situ Yao. So she continued, "I heard you went to Luanfeng Palace a few days ago. The East Palace and Luanfeng Palace are quite far apart. What were you doing there?"
Su Mengyan figured out what she wanted to do tonight. It turned out that she also suspected that she was colluding with Concubine Bai and wanted to expose her in front of Situ Yao. Fortunately, she had foresight and made this matter clear long ago.
Sure enough, when Situ Yao saw that Cui Mixue was still repeating herself, he instantly lost interest and immediately interrupted her, "I already know what you are going to say. If you have nothing else to say, then go back."
Cui Mixue looked at him in disbelief. In her previous life, Situ Yao had killed her immediately upon discovering her, so why didn't he do it this time? She shouted unwillingly, "Your Highness, she's Concubine Bai's spy sent to the Eastern Palace!"
Cui Mixue didn't believe that Situ Yao could remain so calm when he knew that Su Mengyan was Concubine Bai's person.
She recalled everything about Su Mengyan in her previous life and told him the most important things, "She went to Luanfeng Palace and must have been conspiring with Concubine Bai to send Princess Yunfu to marry. Your Highness, you can't trust her."
"I have my own decision on this matter, and it is not your turn to interfere." Situ Yao interrupted her coldly. He didn't know how Cui Mixue knew all this, but it made him suspicious.
Cui Mixue didn't expect Situ Yao to react like this when she revealed Su Mengyan's identity. His beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief, "Your Highness, she was sent by Concubine Bai to kill you."
"Ms. Cui, I have already confessed my identity to His Highness. As for the rest, I hope you won't make any unwarranted guesses." Su Mengyan said as she stood in front of her. She had finally explained things clearly, and she didn't want to go back to square one because of Cui Mixue.
She pushed Su Mengyan hard and knocked her to the ground, but she still felt unwilling to give up and wanted to go up to her and strangle her neck to force her.
