Murong Shuo picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, as if considering how to speak. He narrowed his eyes, looked at the scenery outside the window, and said casually: "Miss Su, I heard in the capital that you are quite wise and courageous."

Su Jinyue raised her head and looked directly at Murong Shuo, "Second Prince, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary woman."

"ordinary?"

Murong Shuo smiled, put down the wine bowl, turned to look at her, "Since you saved me last time, entered the palace and cured Yuzhu's illness, I don't believe you are just an ordinary woman."

Su Jinyue smiled faintly, "The Second Prince invited me here, didn't he just want to praise me?"

"Of course not."

"The prince has already looked for you, right?" Murong Shuo stared at Su Jinyue with his dark eyes.

As expected, she couldn't avoid it. She could no longer hide the fact that she had met the prince.

Su Jinyue simply nodded and admitted, "When I was treating the little princess in the palace, I did meet the prince."

Murong Shuo tapped the rim of the cup with his fingertips. "Just met him?"

"Of course." Su Jinyue said, "I only brought the little princess with me when I entered the palace, and I only met the prince once."

After hearing what she said, Murong Shuo no longer insisted on the matter, but lowered his voice.

"There has been an uprising in Western Xinjiang recently. One of my generals is stationed there. I also heard that Miss Su has a close relationship with General Xiao, and he mentioned you to me."

Su Jinyue's heart was slightly moved, but her face remained expressionless, "Oh? I wonder why he mentioned Yu me?"

Murong Shuo did not answer directly, but asked, "Miss Su, do you think the instability in the capital will affect the war situation in Western Xinjiang?"

Su Jinyue pondered for a moment, "I am just a woman and I dare not speak rashly about the war situation."

"Miss Su, I asked you to come here today just to hear you tell the truth."

Murong Shuo looked at Su Jinyue and said, "There are only you and me in the room today, so you don't have to worry about anything."

Su Jinyue didn't want to get involved in these things. "Second Prince, you are joking. What I said today is all from the heart."

Murong Shuo paused, raised his eyes and looked at Su Jinyue, "Then I'll get straight to the point. I need Miss Su to do me a favor."

"How can I help the Second Prince?"

"It's about a secret mission in Western Xinjiang."

Murong Shuo whispered, "I need a smart and intelligent helper, and you are undoubtedly the best candidate."

Su Jinyue pursed her lips, thinking rapidly in her mind, did the Second Prince also know about the events in Western Xinjiang? Or was he trying to trick her?

"The Second Prince thinks too highly of me. I'm afraid I can't live up to the responsibility."

"Miss Su is so smart, why be so modest?" Murong Shuo smiled slightly, as if he had already expected that she would be reserved.

"I know that Xiao Duo's life or death is unknown, and you are also very worried."

Murong Shuo said: "I can tell you that his disappearance is closely related to the people in Western Xinjiang."

Su Jinyue knew all this better than the Second Prince, but she couldn't show it now.

Su Jinyue was about to speak when she was interrupted by a noise coming from outside the window.

Knock knock knock!

There was a hurried knock on the door.

"Master, the palace urgently summons you!"

Murong Shuo's expression sternly changed, and he immediately stood up. "That's all I have to say. I will return to the palace first."

He turned and looked at Su Jinyue, "Miss Su, you can think about this matter carefully."

"Although the war in Western Xinjiang has ceased, they want to send their princess here for marriage. I think this matter is not that simple."

Su Jinyue nodded slightly, neither agreeing nor refusing immediately.

Looking at the Second Prince leaving, Su Jinyue was a little worried.

If they had sneaked into the capital before, they could have been arrested secretly.

But when the Princess of Western Frontier entered the capital, the scene was completely different.

After much deliberation, Su Jinyue decided to return to the Marquis' Mansion first.

However, before she could return to the courtyard, she saw a servant running over in a hurry, "Miss, the Madam asks you to come over."

Before she could come back to her senses, Su Jinyue could sense the servant's worried look, "But what happened?"

The servant nodded and whispered, "Madam seems to have received the letter from the master from Western Xinjiang."

Hearing this, Su Jinyue's expression faded, "I understand. Take me to my mother's yard first."

"Yes, miss."

When Su Jinyue arrived at Jiang Caiping's yard, as soon as she entered the room, she saw Jiang Caiping sitting at the desk with a serious expression, holding a letter in her hand.

"Mother, this is..."

Seeing Su Jinyue coming back, Jiang Caiping raised her head, her eyes full of worry.

"Jin Yue, your father sent a letter saying that the situation in Western Xinjiang was getting more and more unsettled, and the messenger he sent risked his life to get the letter out."

Su Jinyue took the letter, read it quickly, and frowned.

As Murong Shuo said, the situation in Western Xinjiang has not been completely pacified and may even lead to new disturbances.

The letter also hinted that a mysterious force was active in the capital and was related to the marriage.

Su Yan also asked in the letter to take good care of Su Zhiyao.

Returning the letter to Jiang Caiping, Su Jinyue said, "Father doesn't know Su Zhiyao yet. If there is trouble in the capital, we should bring Su Zhiyao back from the manor."

If she wasn't brought back, how could Su Jinyue continue to watch the show, and how could Su Jingnian be doomed?

But Jiang Caiping shook her head. "We just sent her to the farm on the pretext of illness. Now we bring her back so soon. It will definitely give people something to blame."

Su Jinyue nodded, already having made up her mind, "Don't worry, mother, I will find the right time to let her come back."

Jiang Caiping looked at her daughter and sighed softly, "Jinyue, you've worked hard. These things shouldn't be your concern."

Su Jinyue smiled slightly and held her mother's hand, "Mom, don't worry, I will take care of it."

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by a servant running in in a panic, "Madam, Miss, this is bad! Many officials have come to the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, saying they want to search!"

Jiang Caiping immediately stood up, her face changed, "What's going on?"

Su Jinyue frowned slightly in her heart, but she quickly calmed down, "Mother, don't panic, I'll go check the situation."

After saying that, she quickly walked out of the room and headed towards the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.

When he arrived at the door, he saw that a team of officials had surrounded the mansion, making it impossible to get in or out.

When the leading official saw Su Jinyue coming out, he immediately stepped forward and said with a bow, "Miss Su, I have been ordered to come here to investigate. Please don't embarrass me."

"Investigation?" Su Jinyue glanced at him calmly, "What's the matter that requires such a big fuss?"
