Then she sent Murong Zhen to the door of the study.

The door of the study was open, and there was a sound of reading and the slight sound of turning pages coming from inside.

"Sister Su, I'm going in." Murong Zhen let go of Su Jinyue's hand, waved to her, and then quickly ran to his seat.

Su Jinyue watched him go in before turning around and leaving, thinking about the next arrangements in her mind.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard on the path near the Imperial Garden.

Su Jinyue looked over and saw a guard coming towards her.

The guard stopped in front of Su Jinyue and said, "Miss Su, the Second Prince wants you to wait for him in the Imperial Garden for half an hour. He has something to tell you."

"Second Prince?"

Su Jinyue confirmed it again, and the guard nodded, "Yes, the Second Prince is still studying, Miss Su, please wait in the Imperial Garden."

The prince invited her to meet him, and Su Jinyue couldn't refuse. "Okay, I got it."

Su Jinyue walked slowly towards Yuhua Garden, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

She knew in her heart that the Second Prince, who took the initiative to find her at this time, must have something important to discuss.

The current situation is becoming increasingly complicated, and she also wants to know what Murong Shuo wants to do.

The imperial garden is shaded by green trees, and the breeze brings a hint of coolness.

Su Jinyue sat quietly on the stone bench, looking up at the clear blue sky above her head, and her mood relaxed a little.

Soon, footsteps were heard in the distance.

She looked up and saw Murong Shuo walking towards her with a tall figure and a calm expression.

He came to Su Jinyue and said in a steady tone, "Sorry for the long wait."

"No problem."

Su Jinyue stood up and bowed, "Your Highness, why are you so eager to meet me? I wonder why?"

Murong Shuo's expression was slightly cold, but he motioned for her to sit down again, and then he said, "Miss Su, the prince is about to leave the capital, you know."

Su Jinyue nodded, "I know."

A cold light flashed in Murong Shuo's eyes. "The Queen wants to eliminate all dissidents after the Crown Prince leaves the palace, and she regards us princes as thorns in her side."

Su Jinyue was silent for a moment. With internal and external troubles, this matter would be a big deal.

"Your Highness, what are your plans?"

Murong Shuo looked at Su Jinyue and said, "I only want to ask you one question: who are you going to help?"

This seemed to be a trap, but even if it was a trap, Su Jinyue would step into it.

She looked at Murong Shuo and shook her head, "Second Prince, you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are both excellent people."

"I believe that you all don't like factional strife, but I also understand that the Second Prince has no choice but to follow this path in order to protect himself."

"But I want to say that I want to help the Great Zhou Dynasty and His Majesty. I don't want wealth and glory, but to make the world stable."

Su Jinyue said to Murong Shuo, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is leading the expedition for the safety of Western Xinjiang."

"If the Queen wants to cause trouble in the harem, His Majesty will never allow it, and Your Highness the Second Prince does not need to worry about it."

…

After she finished speaking, there was silence between the two of them for a moment.

Murong Shuo then looked at Su Jinyue, "After saying so much, are you going to side with the prince?"

"The Second Prince is a smart man. I said so much just because I don't want you two brothers to quarrel with each other."

Murong Shuo stared at Su Jinyue, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He said slowly: "You are an interesting person, but unfortunately, the disputes in the palace cannot be resolved by simply saying peace."

Su Jinyue lowered her eyes and said softly, "I understand the Second Prince's situation, but the most important thing right now is the plight of Western Xinjiang. I hope the Second Prince can understand."

Murong Shuo's lips curled up into a faint smile, "Miss Su, are you teaching me how to do things?"

Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew by, and the leaves rustled, as if warning of something.

"Second Prince." A guard walked over quickly, bent down slightly, and whispered something in Murong Shuo's ear.

Murong Shuo nodded to signal him to leave for now, then looked at Su Jinyue again, "Ms. Su, if one day you find yourself having to make a choice, I hope you will remember what I said today."

Su Jinyue nodded and said, "I'll remember it."

Murong Shuo stood up, straightened his clothes, and said solemnly: "Jin Yue, the future situation in the palace is uncertain."

"I hope it's just as you said, the Queen won't do anything to us."

Su Jinyue stood up and said to Murong Shuo, "Even if the Queen did something, it doesn't mean it was the Crown Prince's intention."

Murong Shuo narrowed his eyes slightly, unable to see through the person in front of him, "Why?"

"The Queen is not the Crown Prince's biological mother. His biological mother passed away when he was young."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has been raised by the Empress Dowager since he was a child. Your Highness the Second Prince is well aware of this."

Su Jinyue recalled her previous life. Although Murong Jun was a little paranoid at times, he was indeed a wise ruler.

Although the Queen did not cause any trouble at that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not favor his mother.

"Your Highness's temperament is most like Your Majesty's."

Murong Shuo suddenly laughed, "Miss Su, you know what I said today, if others knew, it would be a capital crime."

"Of course I know." Su Jinyue raised her head and met Murong Shuo's gaze without fear, "But if there is no peace in this world, then what does even my own life count for?"

Murong Shuo did not answer immediately. He was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "Your personality is rare in the palace, and you are so smart that it makes people worry."

"If you can't be used by me, in the past..." Murong Shuo's eyes flashed with coldness, "I certainly wouldn't let you be used by others!"

Su Jinyue frowned slightly when she heard this, then she revealed a faint smile.

"Thank you for the compliment, Second Prince."

Murong Shuo smiled coldly, "Forget it, I don't think I've heard what you said today."

After saying that, Murong Shuo took his men away, and the smile on Su Jinyue's face disappeared completely.

She felt a great headache as the issue in Western Xinjiang had not been completely resolved. If the matter between the Second Prince and the Crown Prince became a problem again, it would be really difficult to resolve.

Su Jinyue didn’t want to think too much now, she turned around and went to Yuzhu Palace.

Princess Yuzhu was particularly happy to see Su Jinyue, "Sister Su! You really came to accompany me, come here quickly! The milk cake they made for me is delicious! Come and have some!"

Seeing the carefree Princess Yuzhu, Su Jinyue finally smiled and said, "I'm here."

She followed Princess Yuzhu to the table and couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the exquisite pastries laid out on the table.

"Our jade beads have become round."

Princess Yuzhu pouted her red lips and said coquettishly, "Sister Su always bullies me. It's obviously me who is fat, but you actually said that I have gained weight."

"Haha." Su Jinyue couldn't help laughing.

Princess Yuzhu glared at her and stuffed a piece of milk puff into Su Jinyue's mouth, "Try it."
