Sun Junru looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, whispered, "It's haunted! The nannies told us not to say anything, but everyone knows."
"Huh?" Mu Run looked startled, then pulled Sun Junru and walked to a quieter place.
Sun Junru said, "In that room, two girls were rejected. For no apparent reason, they became abnormal and were then sent out of the palace."
"...What's wrong with it?" Mu Run asked.
Sun Junru thought for a moment, "They just look dull and dazed, getting thinner and thinner every day, and their eyes are all dark and swollen. They were all beautiful young ladies, but in just a few days they don't look like human beings anymore."
Mu Run couldn't help but look frightened. It wasn't all an act; she hadn't slept well during the first half of the night, but she managed to fall asleep during the second half by mentally telling herself that Shao Rong was watching over her.
"Could it be insomnia? If a normal person doesn't sleep for several days, they can indeed look drastically different."
Insomnia? Why would I have insomnia?
“Actually, I also think that room isn’t clean. Why don’t I sleep at your place tonight?” Mu Run said to Sun Junru.
Sun Junru nodded, "Sure, we happen to have a spare bed in our Bamboo Pavilion."
"Then it's settled. I'll go to the Bamboo Pavilion tonight."
"Okay. I don't know where you're from yet. My family is from Xiangcheng, and we're in the silk business."
"My family are hunters from Jingyu Mountain."
Mu Run chatted with Sun Junru for a while and basically learned about her situation, as well as the situations of some other candidates.
One of the candidates caught Mu Run's attention. She was from the Xiji Tea House, and her name was Xigong Lan'er.
Xi Gongyong had some grudges against her. If he hadn't sold her to the Prime Minister's wife, how would the Prime Minister's wife have found her and then been captured and had her body swapped with Princess Xiaoyu?
During the meal, Mu Run chatted with Xi Gong Lan'er for a bit and learned that she was Xi Gong Yong's half-sister. Moreover, Xi Gong Yong had died of illness three years prior!
Died of illness? Mu Run found it hard to believe. That person's martial arts skills were very high, and he was so young. How could that be?
But the person is indeed dead, and all the past grievances have vanished like smoke.
Mu Run heard the cry of an eagle in the sky.
My heart skipped a beat.
He excused himself to use the restroom and left.
She found a secluded corner where no one was around, and took out the red rope around her neck, from which a secret flute was tied.
She was afraid of losing the secret flute; after all, they were in a dangerous situation, and these important things needed to be preserved carefully.
He blew a secret flute.
The eagle in the sky immediately swooped down.
Mu Run's heart clenched with fear, lest someone discover it and shoot it with an arrow!
Grey rubbed against Twilight in a flattering manner.
Mu Run patted its head and quickly untied the letter from its leg.
Open it and read it quickly...
Then he fell silent.
Isn't this letter a little too late?
Five days have passed since she wrote the letter to Fu Yunchen!
However, upon learning that the children were with Long Qian, she was relieved, and all that remained was to leave the palace.
As for why the Empress Dowager wanted her child, the answer is either yes or no. In any case, she wouldn't let the child fall into the Empress Dowager's hands.
She bit her fingertip and wrote a few words on the plain handkerchief: "Yin Wan, Zhong Gong, Chi Gui" (meaning "late return").
This means his letter arrived late, so she is currently in the imperial palace of the Jin Dynasty and will return later.
Writing with one's own blood is much more economical. Unlike when using Mo Xiaowan's blood, where dozens of words would fill an entire handkerchief.
