Wen Mengdie shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"I once thought that His Royal Highness's feelings for me were genuine. Even the night before leaving for Fengli Kingdom, he promised me to help him steal the tiger talisman, and I agreed without hesitation."
"But, that same night, I couldn't sleep, and unexpectedly, when I passed by the rockery, I overheard his conversation with his eldest sister..."
Mu Xue was shocked after hearing this.
"Are you saying that the prince deliberately deceived you in order to make you fall in love with him and be willing to serve him?"
Wen Mengdie looked hurt.
"Not only that, I returned to Beichen and wanted to secretly go home to see my parents. Unexpectedly, when I passed by the study, I heard a conversation in the room. From the sound of it, it was the prince and my father. The content of the conversation was about you. They wanted to deceive you just like they deceived me..."
Anyway, everyone knew that Xie Shuchen liked to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion every few days, so whether or not she really heard these words in the Prime Minister's Mansion was really that important? As long as Mu Xue believed it, it would be fine.
Mu Xue is also a smart person and understands things quickly.
No wonder the prince suddenly treated me so well, so that's how it is!
"Miss Mu, can you keep it a secret that you saw me today?"
"If I leave Fengli, I'll be dead. I can't go home anymore. I'll have to hide my identity and live as a country woman. I don't want to see unnecessary people or things anymore."
Mu Xuezheng nodded seriously.
"Of course, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"Thank you, Miss Mu."
When Xie Shuchen went to find Mu Xue again, she simply avoided him.
But Xie Shuchen never gave up and was always very willing to do so. Whenever Mu Xue went out, he would always run into her by chance.
"Miss Mu, why are you always avoiding me lately? But how did I make you angry?"
Mu Xue lowered her head shyly.
"Your Highness is such a good man. I'm afraid that if I see him too often, I might develop other thoughts about him. Therefore, I dare not...!"
Xie Shuchen stopped in front of her, his eyes full of smiles.
"Miss Mu, I've already developed other feelings for you. Don't you know?"
Mu Xue pretended to be very surprised.
"Really? But Your Highness is married with children, and you and the Crown Princess are in love. I don't want to be the bad woman who ruins your relationship."
Xie Shuchen tried his best to perform for her.
What he meant was that he had never loved Wen Mengyin, and that he married her only because his father had arranged the marriage for him. Only after meeting Mu Xue did he know what true love was.
He also said that he wanted to marry her as the Crown Prince's concubine, and if he was lucky enough to ascend the throne in the future, he would definitely make her the empress.
I spent a month of passionate love with Mu Xue.
After he was sure that Mu Xue really loved him, he looked troubled again.
"Your Highness, why are you sighing so much today? Is there something on your mind?"
"Ah! You also know that the princess sent by Beichen to marry died unexpectedly, but this alliance is related to the peace between the two countries. Father wants to send another noble lady to marry, but he has not found the right person yet!"
"My brothers have all stepped forward to recommend their own men. If Father chooses their men, then my position as Crown Prince...!"
Mu Xue listened but didn't respond to him.
Xie Shuchen, why hasn't she volunteered yet? Hasn't she already said she'll marry no one but me? Shouldn't she take the initiative to help me?
