When Zhong Muyu looked up, Lu Ziyuan was furious, while Su Zhirou was closely following him, her hand still wrapped around his arm.
This intimate scene brings back memories of the first day of my time travel.
Zhong Muyu began to wonder if she was dreaming.
Lianye quickly shook off Zaochun and rushed forward: "It was the Princess and her maid who trespassed into Tingzhi Courtyard. This servant tried to stop them, but couldn't."
Lu Ziyuan looked at Zhong Muyu, his cold eyes devoid of any of the warmth they had shown before.
"What are you doing here? Is there no place for you in the Fragrant Courtyard anymore?"
Zhong Muyu was puzzled: "Lu Ziyuan, what do you mean by this? I haven't even asked you what you're doing here. You're already blaming me!"
"Do I need to report to you where I'm going? If you still want to be this princess, get out of Tingzhi Courtyard and don't even think about bullying Rou'er!"
No, nothing's right.
Lu Ziyuan seemed to have lost his memory, completely transforming into the Lu Ziyuan he was a few months ago.
Zhong Muyu couldn't see anything wrong either, but Su Zhirou smiled and said, "Princess Consort, the Prince has already spoken, are you still going to stay here?"
Zhong Muyu was still unwilling to give up: "Lu Ziyuan, do you still remember who I am?"
Lu Ziyuan sneered: "Zhong Muyu, is something wrong with you?"
"I feel like the problem is with you. What's wrong with you? Don't you remember what happened to us these past few days?"
"Don't talk nonsense, there's nothing between us!"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Muyu's temper flared up: "What do you mean 'nothing happened'! We just came back from Ling'an County yesterday! Don't you remember when you invited me to the military camp, when we went to Qingshui Village together, and when we were at the restaurant? What kind of spell has she cast on you?"
Lu Ziyuan hesitated for a moment, and Su Zhirou felt nervous and subconsciously gripped Lu Ziyuan's arm tightly.
"Shut up! Go back to your Fragrant Courtyard. If you cause any more trouble, I will sentence you to one of the seven grounds for divorce and expel you from the palace!"
Zhong Muyu was almost laughing in anger: "You're crazy! If you want to divorce, then divorce! If you're going to do this, then you might as well leave this lousy manor!"
After saying that, she stepped out of Tingzhi Courtyard without looking back.
"Your Highness! Please wait for me!"
Early Spring quickened her pace to catch up, gently taking her hand: "Your Highness..."
"I'm fine, my mind is just a mess. What's wrong with Lu Ziyuan?"
"This servant does not know either, but Your Highness's actions are indeed strange. Could it be that there is some unspeakable reason behind this?"
"What would he need to hide from me? And you just saw it yourself, he completely turned his back on me. How could someone like him act like that?"
Not knowing what had happened last night, Zhong Muyu tried her best to calm herself down and returned to Xinxiang Courtyard.
Upon returning, she went straight to the small room, intending to check the surveillance footage of the Prince's Mansion. Her serious demeanor startled Chengfeng.
"What's wrong with the Princess?"
"I'm angry, sigh!"
Zaochun told Chengfeng everything, and Chengfeng looked incredulous: "How is that possible! The prince and princess were inseparable yesterday, they didn't argue at all!"
"I don't understand either, but things don't seem fake today. Do you think the Prince has some kind of plan behind the Princess's back?"
"That's definitely not the case. Zhiyu and I are his most trusted guards. If he had a plan, there would be no reason for him not to tell me."
"Then I really don't understand..."
Chengfeng nodded: "I don't understand either. I'll ask Zhiyu when he comes back."
While the two outside were analyzing the situation, Zhong Muyu checked all the surveillance footage but found nothing wrong.
Since Lu Ziyuan entered the study last night, no one has come in or out, and this morning it has become like this.
She planned to check the study, but Lu Ziyuan went back to the study after dinner and explicitly forbade her from entering. After being turned away, she had no choice but to go back.
Not long after she returned, Chengfeng, who was out, ran into Zhiyu, who had just returned. He quickly told Zhiyu what had happened and asked him if he had any plans.
Unexpectedly, Zhiyu was also completely confused: "What plan? I've been in the military camp all this time and haven't had any contact with the prince."
That's really strange.
"Could it be that the Prince has changed his mind about Consort Su?"
"Even if he changes his mind, he can't possibly treat the princess like a stranger. In any case, please keep an eye out for him; there's probably more to this than meets the eye."
Zhiyu nodded: "Leave it to me."
After the two parted ways, Zhiyu reported the matter to Lu Ziyuan, and everything seemed to be in perfect order.
He was just trying to figure out how to start the conversation when someone came to report: "Your Highness, Consort Su has arrived."
"Let her in."
Su Zhirou, dressed smartly and carrying a food box, came to Lu Ziyuan's side.
"Your Highness must be tired. I've made some snacks. Please rest for a while before continuing."
"Rou'er is so kind. Let me finish dealing with these matters before we eat."
"Then I will massage your shoulders, Your Highness, to ease your fatigue."
Zhiyu, standing nearby, nearly had her eyes pop out of her head. In just a few days, the changes in the Prince's mansion were truly unpredictable.
Lu Ziyuan wrote for a while, then stopped to rest. Su Zhirou also made him tea, showing her gentleness, thoughtfulness, and meticulousness.
"Your Highness, do you like Rou'er's snacks?"
"Hmm, not bad, Rou'er's cooking skills are getting better and better."
Lu Ziyuan said this, but he always felt that the pastries he had eaten before didn't taste like this.
He had a vivid memory of the taste of the pastries, and he was certain that he had never eaten anything so unique and delicious. However, when he tried to recall them carefully, his mind was like a fog, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
After finally getting through the ordeal until Su Zhirou left, Zhiyu couldn't hold back any longer: "Your Highness, what exactly are you and your concubine doing?"
"Is there a problem with me being with Rou'er?"
"There's no problem, but weren't you angry before that she lied to you and you never wanted to see her again?"
"When did I ever say such a thing? Did Zhong Muyu tell you to say it?"
Lu Ziyuan suddenly got angry, and his voice became louder.
"No, it's not Your Highness, I just find it strange."
"Hmph, that Zhong Muyu, I will definitely divorce her."
Seeing this, Zhiyu knew that Lu Ziyuan was serious, and quickly tried to dissuade him: "Your Highness, please think it over. Didn't Yuanjing send back a message saying that you can't get a divorce? As long as the Princess Consort behaves herself, I believe she won't interfere with you."
"I hope so."
Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief, but the prince's behavior was indeed abnormal, and he needed to investigate it thoroughly.
If Zhong Muyu were to leave the palace now, he would actually be quite reluctant to do so.
At this moment, Lu Ziyuan suddenly thought of something, looked around, and asked, "Where did Chengfeng go?"
"Your Highness, Chengfeng has been assigned by you to protect the Princess at Xinxiang Courtyard, and he is currently there."
"I don't recall ever saying anything like that. Bring him back!"
