"How did the Second Prince die?"
"After his attempt to force the emperor to abdicate failed, he committed suicide by cutting his own throat."
"Where is the eldest prince?"
He was killed by Princess Pingyang.
"……ah?"
"The eldest prince once sent someone to assassinate the seventh prince. This princess, who lost her beloved brother, couldn't find the real culprit, so she took her anger out on him."
"Then killing him wouldn't be unjust. Oh? Someone's coming, I'll go back first." Mu Run said hurriedly and withdrew his spiritual power.
It was Granny Liu, accompanied by several maids carrying various items.
"These are the clothes prepared for the concubine in the manor. If Your Highness dislikes anything about them, please let me know, and I will have the steward arrange it immediately."
"No need. But what was the matter that Granny inquired about?"
"It is true that the Empress has passed away because of the Second Prince's rebellion. Although the Prince is not the Empress's biological son, she is his legal mother, and the Prince's residence must observe three days of mourning."
"Just follow the rules." Mu Run looked at the fine silks, brocades, and pearl and jade jewelry on the table. "Put these away for now. Since we want to keep a low profile, we can't afford to give anyone reason to criticize us."
Granny Liu looked at Mu Run in surprise, then smiled and said, "The concubine is intelligent and sensible, and also beautiful. She will surely become the prince's favorite in the future."
"You flatter me, Granny." With that, Mu Run took out a white jade hairpin from the jewelry tray and handed it to Granny Liu. "I'm sure I'll need your help in the future."
"Of course, of course," Liu Mama hurriedly accepted the gift with both hands. "Thank you for your generosity, Consort. From now on, I will follow your lead."
Fu Lu is back, carrying lots of delicious food in his bags.
Mu Run was also eating something.
She sat at the table eating ice cream. Now that she's recovered, she can eat whatever she wants without having to watch her diet anymore.
Fu Lu carried the things into the house and saw the snow-like object in her hand, which emitted a sweet and cool fragrance. He asked, "What is this?"
Mu Run handed him the half-eaten ice cream, "Try it."
Fu Lu didn't mind that it was leftovers from Mu Run, and took a big bite, using the same spoon that Mu Run had just used.
The cold, sweet liquid went down my throat and instantly woke me up. "It's very sweet and quite refreshing."
"Since you're feeling refreshed, tell me about the concubine system." He wouldn't bestow such a title upon her for no reason.
Fu Lu replied, "The palace is investigating where I was last night. I said I was at home with you... having fun, so I made you my concubine."
Mu Run frowned slightly: "So, do I still have to continue acting for you?"
Fu Lu, "If you don't mind."
Thinking of the spiritual root in his body, Mu Run said, "That's fine, consider it repayment for helping me retrieve my spiritual root."
Fu Lu took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Mu Run, "This is the contract for you to become a concubine."
"I don't need this anymore. Just let me know when you no longer need me to act in this role."
"Alright." Fu Lu put the contract away again. "I might bother you in your courtyard at night too."
"When you're acting, you have to go all the way." Mu Run didn't mind; it's not like they hadn't slept together before. As long as you know your limits and don't overstep them, there's no problem.
Seeing that she readily agreed without any hesitation, Fu Lu sighed inwardly and continued, "On my way back to the manor, I saw disciples of the Qingquan Sect. If you want to see them, I can arrange it for you."
Mu Run's eyes lit up. "Really? But you'll probably be very busy these days, so don't worry about me."
Having been an empress herself, she knew the pressure of being in that position. In addition, with various sects in the capital about to begin recruiting disciples, it was a time of great turmoil, so she decided not to trouble him any further.
