On this day, Mu Beichen went to the morning court as usual and returned within the allotted time. Meanwhile, the concubines in the mansion kept watch around Fuxi Courtyard at all times, trying to see if the prince had done anything with them again. If they were lucky, they might even have a chance encounter with the prince.
Feng Jin observed in secret all day and finally realized that she had virtually no chance of leaving the palace. It seemed that she could only wait for Prince Xuan to come to the palace and have him pass on a message to Hua Mancheng.
Just as she was thinking this, she happened to see Hua Mancheng and Mu Zixuan passing by the entrance of Fuxi Courtyard in a great hurry.
She hurried over, forcing a calm smile, and asked, "Hi, what are you two distinguished guests up to?"
Seeing her running over breathlessly surprised Mu Zixuan. He asked with a puzzled look, "Sister-in-law... is there something you need?"
Then she smiled at Mu Zixuan and said, "Actually... there's nothing special about it. I just think Prince Xuan looks very kind, so I couldn't help but want to get closer to him."
Feng Jin thought that she should just praise him as much as she could, since she could fool people to death anyway.

Upon hearing this, Feng Jin paled and could no longer smile. Qin Xiangyu's words suddenly popped into her mind. It turned out that everyone knew what had happened between her and Su Yu. No wonder Mu Beichen's attitude had been so abnormal lately.
"I have something I'd like to say to Prince Cheng privately. If you're busy, Prince Xuan, please go ahead and attend to your business." Feng Jin didn't want to waste any more time on Mu Zixuan and immediately stated her position.
"Alright then, I'll go see my second brother at Feiyu Academy first. You two chat." Mu Zixuan said politely to her, then turned around and left their sight in the opposite direction.
Hua Mancheng watched Mu Zixuan walk away, then turned back to Feng Jin. He raised his starry eyes slightly, and a smile gradually bloomed on his handsome face: "If Your Highness has anything important to say, please feel free to give your orders. I will do my best to fulfill them."
