His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forbade Su Mengyan from seeing anyone, nor did he allow anyone to speak to her. He forbade her from saying anything, not even a single word. Not long ago, someone who came to deliver food was taken away by the Crown Prince's guards for saying "you're welcome," and the next day, no one knew where they were.
It has caused panic among the people.
There were even rumors outside that Situ Yao did not dote on Su Mengyan at all, but hated her to the core, which was why he imprisoned her day and night.
Su Mengyan was too lazy to pay attention to those people outside who occasionally "passed by" her window and gossiped.
After closing the door tightly, Su Mengyan opened the note in her hand. The handwriting on it was very beautiful, and it seemed to be from Cui Mixue.
Cui Mixue didn't say much, she just considerately asked Su Mengyan how she was doing recently, whether she had quarreled with Situ Yao, and if she needed any help.
Su Mengyan smiled bitterly when she saw this.
It couldn't be called a quarrel, it should be said that Situ Yao was just losing his temper unilaterally. Now the relationship between Cui Mixue and Situ Yao... She estimated that let alone helping, it was already very good that Cui Mixue herself was not implicated by her.
Although she thought so in her heart, Su Mengyan still had some hope that Cui Mixue could help her, so she didn't even have time to eat, she hurriedly wrote a few words in reply to her and stuffed it into the food basket.
At the same time, I didn't forget to sigh at Cui Mixue's strength. She has only been to the East Palace a few times, but she already has spies. She is worthy of being the protagonist's aura.
Hopefully her thighs are okay this time.
When someone came to take the food basket, Su Mengyan deliberately tapped the basket twice, fearing that the other person would not understand her. The other person did not say anything, but just glanced at her quickly, blinked, and then left silently.
Because Situ Yao's guards have been keeping a close eye on them recently, they didn't dare to take any risks.
However, even so, the moment she left Su Mengyan's yard, the maid was knocked unconscious by a palm from the person behind her. The man in black took the food basket and the maid to Situ Yao's study.
After a quick glance at the words on the note, Situ Yao snorted coldly and looked at the maid kneeling on the ground: "She is quite capable. She has actually placed herself by my side. Take her out and deal with her as usual. Remember, leave no traces."
Ignoring the maid's pleas for mercy, the man in black took the order and left.
Situ Yao fiddled with the note in his hand, his eyes slightly colder. Although Situ Yao was grateful for what happened before, he had already done his utmost by not asking the Cui family about their crimes after returning. If it weren't for the fact that Cui Mixue was still able to talk to Su Mengyan, and Cui Mixue's presence could attract many people's attention and mislead their judgment, he would not have even given this person a second glance.
But now it seems that the Cui family seems a little restless.
At the same time, the Cui family.
"Miss, we haven't been able to contact Aunt Su. Could it be that she was just trying to trick us last time?" Hongdou pouted unwillingly and complained to Cui Mixue, "She was always so arrogant before. Do you think it's because she looks down on us? And Miss, you're the only one who believes what she says. How could any woman in the palace not have her eyes on the position of Empress? Don't look at Concubine Su's humble background. She might have quite a bit of ambition."
"Stop guessing."
Cui Mixue shook her head helplessly, but she felt a little anxious in her heart.
The news sent by people in the palace said that Su Mengyan disappeared recently not because she didn't want to cooperate with him, but because she angered Situ Yao for some unknown reason last time, so she has been in solitary confinement until today.
Situ Yao didn't allow anyone to visit him, and she must be one of them.
"Yan Yan is not that kind of person. She must have her reasons for not contacting me now." After all, Cui Mixue has lived two lives. When the two were talking, she clearly saw that Su Mengyan really had no other thoughts about Situ Yao.
If anything, there was only panic.
Endless panic.
Hongdou still didn't believe it, but she didn't say anything. She just changed the subject and said, "Madam has been urging Miss to look for a husband recently. Isn't it obvious that she wants to marry Miss to the man in their family? A few days ago, I heard Luan Xia say that the master seems to be interested too. Miss, you'd better make preparations as soon as possible."
Even if Hongdou didn't say this, Cui Mixue herself was worried.
"Has the palace dress been delivered?" Cui Mixue suddenly asked, remembering something.
Hongdou nodded and took out two sets of clothes from the side to show Cui Mixue, saying, "These were just made and sent over, one blue and one red. Which one are you going to wear to the flower viewing banquet? This is a banquet in the palace. If it weren't for the invitation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I wouldn't be able to go with my status as a master. My lady, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so protective of you, why doesn't he bring you back to the palace and make you the Crown Princess?"
"If you keep talking like that, I'll seal your mouth."
Cui Mixue glared at her, but there was a hint of joy between her eyebrows.
Although the process and direction of many things have changed, one thing remains unchanged. Situ Yao, who is not interested in any women, still focuses all his interest on her.
Previously, a noble lady came to ask whether the prince was planning to take her as his concubine. Although she pretended to be calm and didn't show it, she couldn't help feeling a little anxious in her heart.
The jade pendant in her hand was also different from the one in her previous life, which made Cui Mixue a little panicked.
No matter what, she must take advantage of this flower-viewing banquet to improve her relationship with the prince.
"Miss, the lady wants you to come over."
Cui Mixue was distracted when she heard the maid outside announce something. She frowned slightly and replied impatiently. She told Hongdou to deliver any news from the palace immediately, then she went to the main hall, her skirt lifted.
"You're here." Ever since the dowry was taken back, Madam Cui had been indifferent to Cui Mixue. Now, she handed a piece of paper on the table to Cui Mixue and said coldly, "Take a look. If there are no problems, you can start the marriage process on the third day of next month."
The birth date and time above are her and Mrs. Cui’s nephew.
Cui Mixue's eyebrows turned cold: "I've already said it, I won't get married!"
"Nonsense!" Lord Cui slammed the table, looking at Cui Mixue with disapproval, saying, "Look at you, are you really dreaming that the Crown Prince will come and marry you? I'm telling you, it's impossible! How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be interested in a humble family like us? You're just a plaything for the Crown Prince on a whim!"
