Chapter 188 This is called... gloomy makeup!

"you!"

Mu Nanzhou was furious, "Xu Yanyi! Did you set the fire in the inn?"

"What, it's on fire?"

Xu Yanyi raised an eyebrow and said nonsense in a serious tone, "It could be that the weather was dry. Otherwise, it could be that you did something bad and were punished by God. God couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to kill you with one blow, but who knew that he struck the wrong way and hit the inn. Isn't that why it caught fire?"

"It was obviously you who set the fire! All my people saw that it was you! And you still dare to make excuses!"

Mu Nanzhou stared at Xu Yanyi, as if he wanted to find the right opportunity to catch this cunning woman!

Xu Yanyi looked at him defensively and said slowly: "Your people are naturally helping you to lie. Who will believe you if you tell others about it? Besides, Prince Nanling, you went to the Dajin Temple and arrested Wang Jiunian. Shouldn't you strike while the iron is hot and go to the palace to report the good news to the emperor, so that the emperor can grant you and Li Qiuer a marriage?"

"You bastard! You have ruined Qiu'er's reputation!" Mu Nanzhou wished he could shut Xu Yanyi's mouth. When he returned to the city, he heard rumors that were getting more and more outrageous. Some even said that Li Qiu'er was a spy sent by the enemy country to capture King Nanling. As long as Northern Qin no longer had King Nanling, who was a lone man against a thousand, capturing Northern Qin would be just around the corner!

"Li Qiu'er's reputation isn't great to begin with. Besides, Li Qiu'er is the one who was secretly having an affair with someone else behind your back. You're so self-deprecating and rush to admit that you had a one-night stand with her. I really admire your magnanimity."

Xu Yanyi reminded him coldly that she didn't believe that someone like Li Qiu'er would really harbor Mu Nanzhou's child and keep it to herself for so long. It was good enough that she didn't make a big announcement to the entire capital. There was no need to be afraid or worried!

"I don't want to quarrel with you! I am only here to warn you that the divorce is over! I will not recognize your divorce letter! You are still my princess! You still have to do what I say! Get out with me in your carriage and explain all the lies you just made up in front of the people of the city!"

As he spoke, Mu Nanzhou shouted angrily.

Xu Yanyi refused directly: "No, that won't work. Words spoken out of the mouth are like spilled water. Besides, I was not wrong. Li Qiu'er was cheating on you so obviously, but you still protected her. Either you admit that you are as stupid as a pig, or you were bewitched by Li Qiu'er's magic. I think you are very smart, so it must be the latter. What's wrong with me?"

"Damn it! You still don't know how to repent! I won't forgive you!"

Mu Nanzhou raised his arms instinctively.

Master Yue in the closet was about to make a move when Sister Wang knocked on the door in a hurry: "Oh no, oh no, Miss Li has been taken away!"

What?

Mu Nanzhou's heart tightened, and he immediately turned around and opened the door: "What's going on?"

Sister Wang pointed downstairs and said, "I don't know either. I just watched Miss Li being dragged off the carriage by people from the palace. Because they were people from the palace, no one dared to stop them."

Mu Nanzhou frowned. He originally wanted to come and deal with Xu Yanyi's trouble by himself, but Li Qiuer begged him to come along, and even said that she wanted to ask Xu Yanyi in person why she spread rumors about her. But when they arrived at Fenglai Inn, Mu Nanzhou still felt that it was not safe for Li Qiuer to show up at this time, so he persuaded her to wait in the carriage.

How could this happen?

Where did those people who were guarding go?

Mu Nanzhou glared at Xu Yanyi fiercely: "Since Qiu'er has been brought into the palace, it must be because of the trouble you caused. Do you still want to hide here? Come with me into the palace!"

In the past few days, people came to the palace one after another to ask Xu Yanyi to come in and answer questions, but Xu Yanyi made excuses to get away with it. She just wanted to hate the emperor and the empress dowager.

But now, she can go.

Thinking of this, Xu Yanyi said calmly: "I can go by myself. I don't need you. I know the way. This is the palace where I grew up. Are you still worried that I can't get there?"

Mu Nanzhou gritted his teeth and said, "I am afraid that you will slip away!"

"Don't worry, I'll go there if I agree to go there. Do you think I'm as untrustworthy as you?"

Xu Yanyi rolled her eyes in disgust, "Why don't you hurry up? If you go too late and Li Qiu'er is killed, don't cry."

"You! Women have the most vicious hearts! If anything happens to Qiu'er, I will never let you go!"

Mu Nanzhou shook his sleeves vigorously and walked out with big strides.

Seeing this, Sister Wang breathed a sigh of relief: "Princess, are you going to enter the palace?"

"Well, let's go to the palace, but I have to put on some makeup, otherwise I won't be able to use it as an excuse these days." Xu Yanyi curled her lips slightly, turned around and went into the house, slowly putting on makeup. She remembered that Master Yue was still in the cupboard, and said to Sister Wang, "There's nothing for you to do today, go and rest, and when Xiaoyu and the others come, you should take good care of them."

Sister Wang nodded: "Yes."

After waiting for Sister Wang to leave and close the door, Master Yue pushed the cabinet door open from the inside and walked out.

Xu Yanyi glanced at him, the mask was still hanging on his face, and she was a little disappointed: "Aren't you hot?"

"I'm used to it." Master Yue walked to her side, looked carefully at the makeup she had just put on, and couldn't help frowning, "What kind of makeup is this? If someone didn't know, I would think you haven't slept for several days. You have such heavy dark circles under your eyes, and your face is so pale..."

Xu Yanyi blinked: "You don't understand this, right? I have been refusing people from the palace these days because I was feeling unwell. And my feeling unwell was because I was infected by the bad luck from Mu Nanzhou. If I enter the palace with a rosy face, wouldn't everyone know that I am openly deceiving the emperor?"

Upon hearing this, Master Yue's mouth twitched: "Aren't you also deceiving the emperor by doing this?"

"Well, it seems so, but they are all a bunch of idiots and it's hard to tell."

Xu Yanyi examined her makeup and felt that with this kind of makeup, she looked more than ten years older. She looked really terrible.

"You... entered the palace alone?"

Master Yue watched her put on her clothes and jewelry neatly, and for some reason he felt a little sad. She had been pampered since childhood, so why would she need to do anything by herself?

"Why, do you want to accompany me to the palace?"

Xu Yanyi curled the corners of her mouth.

I don’t know why, but Master Yue only felt that there was a hint of loneliness in her smile.

"Common people cannot enter the palace without being summoned."

Master Yue avoided her eyes.
