Strictly guard against all women who get close to Prince Sheng.
At first, Prince Sheng might find it novel, but after a while, he would only grow to loathe it. Especially those old acquaintances, many of whom Prince Sheng had once favored. Or the newcomers, like the two palace maids who had just gained his favor the night before, who were currently the center of his affections.
By taking action against them, Yan was essentially provoking Prince Sheng.
"Where is the princess?" came an angry male voice from outside.
Hearing this voice, Mu Run thought, "Speak of the devil and he appears!"
"Your Highness, the Princess Consort has just retired for the night."
"Get out of here!"
Mu Run went out.
As soon as she went outside, everyone looked at her.
When Prince Sheng saw her, he temporarily suppressed his anger. "Little Su?"
Mu Run curtsied and said, "Your Highness, the Princess Consort is very weak and cannot withstand any disturbance. If Your Highness still cares about our marital relationship, please do not go in."
"Oh?" Prince Sheng wasn't in a hurry to go in. "You're back to serve her?"
Mu Run: "...Hmm." She nodded and blocked him.
"Don't you resent her for casually assigning you to a servant?" Prince Sheng looked at her beautiful face, especially the charm in her eyes, which was even more captivating than before. His previously dormant thoughts began to waver again.
"This is my fate, I accept it," Mu Run replied frankly, her eyes meeting Prince Sheng's, clear and bright, reflecting his image.
Prince Sheng looked into her eyes, paused, and asked, "Are you truly not resentful?"
"Yes. To be frank, the Princess Consort's behavior can sometimes be a bit excessive, but has Your Highness ever considered why she does such things? I've grown up with her since childhood, and I know her character best. Before she married, she was kind and virtuous. Almost every month, she would go to the orphanage to teach the children there to read, write, and draw, and she would also donate money." The fact that she went to the orphanage was true; Su Da Sao told her. However, Yan Shi's personality was somewhat arrogant. She was fine when it didn't concern her, but once her interests were affected, she had her methods.
The prince frowned slightly. "As a princess, she should be magnanimous and tolerant. Has she done so?"
Mu Run continued, "The Princess Consort has only just married into the Prince's mansion, yet the Prince's harem is already overflowing with beautiful women, all trying to outdo the new Princess Consort. What right do they have? Do they deserve it?!"
"You little rascal, you're quite the sharp-tongued one," the prince suddenly laughed.
"This servant dares not," Mu Run replied, her eyes lowered.
"I see you have quite the nerve." Prince Sheng suddenly moved closer to her, reached out and pinched her chin, lifted her face, and carefully looked at her eyebrows and eyes.
"Your Highness, the palace summons you," Shi Xuan reported respectfully from outside the courtyard.
When Mu Run saw Shi Xuan arrive, she quickly snatched her chin back from Prince Sheng's hand, took a step back, and still stood in front of the door, preventing Prince Sheng from entering.
Prince Sheng glanced at Shi Xuan, then said to Mu Run, "I've returned from the palace to visit the Princess Consort."
"Respectfully seeing off Your Highness." Mu Run calmly curtsied.
Prince Sheng turned and left.
Mu Run looked up at Shi Xuan, met his concerned gaze, and smiled slightly to reassure him.
Shi Xuan left with Prince Sheng.
Qi Tong turned pale with fright. "You're really bold, daring to stop even a prince."
"For the sake of the princess, not to mention the prince, even the Jade Emperor would have to stand outside the door." They had no choice but to stop him; Gudu was undergoing surgery inside.
"I'll go in and stay with Her Majesty. You stay outside and keep watch. I'll call you when Her Majesty wakes up."
"...Alright." Qi Tong sighed inwardly. In the end, she could not compare to Su Xiao's position in the Empress's heart, and Su Xiao was also completely loyal to the Empress.
